Thanks for the kind words everyone. I play guitar in Pianos. The monologue was written by our old keyboard player, who was named Matthew and his mother passed away from cancer when he was a kid. The song is about missing home, how things change, death, etc. The video was the directors take on the song, and frankly, it is not how the song should be interpreted. The video portrays a broken home of sorts but all of us have very supportive loving families, which makes the hard stuff even harder.
I pray for you. You have changed my life
🙏🏻
My mother passed away when I was 15.. The monologue gets me every time..
The music portrays the message perfectly. I listen to this song every time I drive past the neighborhood of my childhood. You guys are amazing.
Thank you for this song, it helped me a lot growing up. Do you remember what is being said by the mother at 4:28? "You were always the (indecipherable)"
My mom died in her sleep with nothing wrong with her. The one night she was living and in the morning, she passed away. This song is the only one that really lets me connect with her. Because whenever I say "I miss you" I wonder if she knows.
Sorry to hear man, I'm sure she misses you too.
Derek Bray I'm happy you found this song last year :). She sure does.
Thank you all my friends.
+Derek Bray man she forsure knows you miss her .i kinda feel you in your struggle, im adopted life just doesnt feel like the home it use to be, or should have been.
It will all work out for you in the end my friend. I promise.
Forever coming back to this.
Forever
Forever dudes.
In 2021
I was in this video when it was filmed back in the autumn of 2008. (I'm the guy all the way to the very left at 05:18.) We spent hours there waiting to do our part, which took probably about 20 minutes to get down pat. Even though I had such a minuscule part in the making of this video, I have a kinship with it, and it feels like 'my video'. The band and the crew who filmed the video were fantastic, and they made it one of the best Saturdays ever.
That is a very cool experience that you had and you are very lucky to get to be in a music video
I wish I could be in one
Where in Baltimore was this filmed?
Brooklyn, I believe.
Cool. Just curious. Saw brick row homes and figured it was either in the city or in Dundalk.
You certainly weren't far off. ;-)
as of 2020.
Cant believe how much this song takes me back to my youth even though im 27 now. (found this band at like 18-19)
Time fades so badly. Please enjoy every minute of your life you got. It passes so fast..
I’m right here with you! I’m F***ing 25 already! I feel like I’ve missed out on so many things. I’ve been wanting to live in a tropical country for years since I was 19. I’m finally taking the leap at 25, and going to live in Ecuador 🇪🇨 for 6 months. Life is all about experiences. Life is so beautiful and let’s take everything it has to offer my friend. I wish you can accomplish everything you want in your life going forward from 27 :)
@Collin Daniel I definitely lived my youth perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
The thing that's bothering me is that after your youth everything just slowly goes downhil.. You end up just living for your employer most of your time. You lose many friends, your body becomes weak and possibly ill. Your youth really is the only time era during which you are 100% free.
Lol, I'm 27 this year and going on my bandcamp emo nostalgia trip.
its 2021, whenever i will see this video i will sill tear up
wise words and utterly true. even I feel that by the age of 25
"I miss you"
"I know"
Get's me every time
That "I know." is a real killer.
For real I cry every time
Kills me every time. My mom died in 2014 and it hits home...
Serial killer at this point
Still makes me cry. My mom died only 3 years ago.
'I miss you' ... 'I know'. Holy shit, goosebumps.
There's two songs that I basically can't listen to without teary eyes.
"I See Everything" by La Dispute and this one.
Hearing this made me go back and listen to every la dispute song yesterday
Ah man that song is beautiful, same here
Dude I was thinking the same! I was listening to I see everything and than that brought me here!
Hell yeah la dispute gets me every time
I was not prepared for these feels...
everything by pbtt will repeatedly punch you in the feels. scarred for life.
try More Than Life
I really thought this song meant the world to me a few years ago, I used to connect to the monologue, despite not having experiencing anything like it. Fast forward a few years, and I have since lost my mother to cancer. Rediscovering this has hit me twice as hard in the chest as it did years ago. Much love ❤
Mathew, your smile in the face of your greatest fear was the best gift a mother could ever receive.
I miss you...
I know....
*Loses shit*
This song came out near the time the my father committed suicide. Being the executive of the estate, including our childhood some. The house lay empty for several years. Occasionally, I’d take trips to check the house.
One week had been some very painful, unshaken grief. I had on our old living room couch. The house had been empty for years. Dust covered things there once important: TV times with the family, stoves unused for all this time. The dead quiet and no memories and people moving about.
Up until this point, I didn’t get emotional in front of family and friends. Trying to keep a straight front to comfort my people in my as much as possible.
Sitting on the old couch, and this song came on. I broke down in a level of sobbing I didn’t know positive. Bleating out “I’m so sorry”, breaking things off of the shelf and unable to stand as it became more intense.
It was cathartic, and it help put the proper face on things. Getting it all out led to journey of me moving past this tragedy.
Thank you for this track.
In my old home, I lived there for eight years and went through everything through that house. It was all I knew and I grew up there. All my memories were made there and this song takes me back there and to my childhood. That house is far more than just four walls to me.
This song will never not move me to tears
Agreed
Same here
I have never heard a sadder, more emotional song in my life. Their lyrics always did hit pretty hard.
I'm so thankful that I was able to see this band live. They opened for Defeater so they didn't have time to play this song but they played almost all their songs. Love them forever.
lyrics
And I miss home
And I miss the closets, the windows, the hallways
And when we are gone who will keep up the garden?
Like a mother calling her boy
I am, I am so unsafe
But she can't do it alone
But there's nothing stronger than her prayers
Nothing stronger than the smell of reds
My fathers reds
Under bridges waiting to look forward
Waiting for rushes ends
Living in the moment is the homeless mantra
They know the busiest streets
All we have, all we have
All we have is letting sleeping dogs lay
All we have, all we have
All we have is letting sleeping dogs lay
Your face lit up and for once and I enjoyed where I was
The truth is jade plants die and the truth is muscles atrophy
Softening your skin and hardening mine
I don't know where to begin
I've thought about this day so much and thought of so many things I've wanted to say now
But now I can only look at you like the pictures I spend hours staring at
I don't think I've ever smiled so wide as when you were holding me up
I was given a picture the other day of a past birthday
We were together on our back deck
I remember
You were covered in powdered sugar from the donuts you were eating
I've always loved watching you smile
Do you remember the mornings when we woke up early to ride bicycles to on the board walk?
Or the night before my first homecoming when you taught me how to dance?
Yes I remember
I hope she appreciated all my hard work
I wish I had a different story to tell
I seem I have drifted fairly far away from what you taught me
You were always the indecipherable
I'll admit there hasn't been much to smile about since
Since you left
I didn't leave
I fought for five years to stay at your side
What do you remember about that night?
I remember a family that loved their wife and mother very much
How can you say that?
We were liars
We clung to those songs like we so desperately wanted to cling to you
Then I don't think you heard the same song I did
You had to know I was lying
You had to know how much I hated myself for smiling like a fool
For spending our last few minutes together deceiving you
Matthew your smile on the face of your greatest fear was the greatest gift a mother has ever received from her child
I miss you
I know
Everyone cares and very eye carelessly tiptoes around you
Watching you
They'll wear black ties and as they applaud
I'll count claps like the fig tree the master cursed the arms that gave us life
Take so much more
I'll count claps like the fig tree the master cursed the arms that gave us life
Take so much more
I don't think people realize how beautiful this song is, and how beautifully written it is. I cry everytime.
One of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever heard/seed
Marcus Whitfield *seen
my favorite part of the song is the intro so sick!
I can't read the lyrics or listen to the song without crying by the end of it. So much talent, so much emotion, a great story. The song is near perfection. Thank you
There are few songs in this world that can make me feel the things that this songs does.. it's the same everytime.. I can't explain.
Passion over everything.
Yea it's straight stanky with the passion..
The post-rock mixture is unbelievably good
I still vividly remember listening and watching this for the first time many many years ago.. I was hooked instantly from the first screams and that riff and audibly went "oh shit". And then the keyboard/dialogue section blew me away.. that part is still incomparable.
It's always so nice to see a fellow Hopesfall fan. They never received their due..
Carmel Kirk Hopesfall just signed to Equal Vision and are writing a new album! Fuck yeah!
Dont play with my heart
Still looking for something similar but I guess it's impossible to match these feelings..
@@TheCitizenErazed 36crazyfists - Only a Year or So; that is sort of similar to the interlude here given its context. Or Maybeshewill - He Films the Clouds Part 2. Still no Houses We Die In but they are good.
Made me cry again, and I've heard it enough to know what's coming. Powerful.
this is one of my favorite songs for years
This band speaks so much through music and lyrics.. This made me wanna make a phone call and ask "WHY, JUST WHY.. ALL I WANTED ALL I NEEDED.. JUST WHY.. WHY YOU NEVER ASKED.. WHY" and that call would only be dream to never come to life..
And I’m here nine years later and all I still ask is WHY?!!
This song still gets me every single time
I swear, I'm listening to this song over and over for about 30 minutes now.
Not planning to stop soon.
that middle part makes me cry everytime
Thanks for all the kind words. For anyone interested on why this sounds different than the Saltwater EP version, it's because I recorded it at my studio later on.
Anyone who doesn't feel the emotion when listening to this song doesn't deserve to listen to music. Beautiful.
so much raw emotion, you can feel the guitars breath through you, i love how raw it sounds, captures the subject matter so well.
still crying to this song... cherish your loved ones. time is never on our side.
so much passion and emotion in this, LOVE IT !
This is the exact kind of emotion that a singing voice couldn't DARE to attempt. Great work, guys. The passion coming off this song is incredible.
This song breaks me. Wow.
I always get back to this...and always get goosebumps listening to it
Still listening in 2022. Thought they died off from myspace days but I heard they're going on tour and just made new material. That's great news
Its very rare to find a band with energy and meaning in their music these days. This is a very "Strong" song and it still gives me chills when i hear it.
Sekarang aku menginjak usia dewasa, dan ini semua tidak begitu mudah ku jalani. Keluarga ku masih lengkap, saudara / saudari, ayah dan ibuku masih ada. Akan tetapi ini semua terasa begitu sepi, karena ibu dan juga kakak perempuanku mereka berdua telah terkena penyakit mental. Ibuku menderita sudah belasan tahun, dan kakak perempuanku menderita telah beberapa tahun.
Terkadang aku merenung dikala sendiri di pertengahan malam hari, aku selalu berharap mereka berdua bisa kembali seperti sedia kala.
Aku tidak mau menyerah, dan aku ingin selalu bisa setiap saat menemani mereka (keluargaku) dalam keadaan apapun. Aku bekerja dari usia ku 17 tahun hanya untuk diriku sendiri dan juga untuk keluargaku, hingga saat ini usiaku 24 tahun. Memang aku masih mempunyai seorang ayah yang seharusnya bekerja keras untuk mencukupi kebutuhan di rumah, akan tetapi beliau kini sedang tidak mempunyai pekerjaan, tetapi beliau juga tidak hanya cuma diam saja dirumah, beliau tetap berusaha mencari pekerjaan sementara.
Kini, disini aku bercerita seperti ini bukan berharap untuk mendapatkan perhatian atau belas kasihan dari orang lain, hanya saja aku bingung menceritakan ini semua pada siapa. Dengan bercerita disini seperti ini, aku akan merasa sedikit lega. Itulah tujuanku menceritakan ini disini.
10 years old and still makes me cry like the first time i heard it
Such a beautiful song.
the way she says 'i know' just breaks my heart omfg.
And I miss home
And I miss the closets, the windows, the hallways
And when we are gone who will keep up the garden?
Like a mother calling her boy
I am, I am so unsafe
But she can't do it alone
But there's nothing stronger than her prayers
Nothing stronger than the smell of reds

All we have, all we have
All we have is letting sleeping dogs lay
All we have, all we have

14 years later I still come back to this video/ song from time to time.
I am man enough to admit that this is the first song I had ever cried to. I just discovered this band today and it's already one of my favorite songs and bands. the emotion they put into this song is just amazing. just purely amazing.
Am yet to listen to this song once without at least choking back tears
The feels are real
10 years and it still hits the same
For sure. Aged like perfectly sweet wine
Music like this connects on a level that other music can't. So descriptive. So raw. So beautiful. So passionate. This.. This is why I love sadness.. Nothing speaks like sadness..
this is almost like explosions in the sky with words and anger and sadness. I love it.
Good call on that! I am going to see Explosions in Sept.!
Wow that’s perfect
this hit me in a spot i haven't thought about since i was a kid. man what i would do to be a kid and free again
Years later and this is still one of my favourite songs. So raw
Love the piano in this, beautiful!
This fucking song is one of my favorite songs by Pianos Become The Teeth. I generally love their music, I found them while looking for bands similar to La Dispute. La Dispute is to this day, my favorite band of all time, and although Pianos Become The Teeth aren't exactly the same, which is good, they also show emotion in their songs and have incredible lyrics. La Dispute still has the best content in my opinion when it comes to the way they write their songs and its lyrics, and if you haven't listened to them, I highly recommend that you do. Favorite Album is Wild Life, but if you like this band, I think you'll enjoy La Dispute and Touche Amore as well.
This may be the most heartbraking and sad song ever
even after a year this song still gives me chills. I love this band and all the dudes in it! amazing guys that make amazing music. Love this band! They just get better and better.
love these guys
fuck, I'm constantly looking for gems like these guys.
Uhhh. You're constantly looking for any number of bandwagon screamo wannabe throwbacks to 2003?
Kindahuge I understand what you mean, but apparently I can notice much more variety in the genre than you're capable of, big guy.
Kindahuge The Screamo bands from 2003 were great... or even the ones from the 90s. But this... argh.
La Dispute / Touche Amore are pretty fucking awesome
Kindahuge Have you listened to them lately. They've really grown. Keep You (their most recent release) may be one of the most mature and heartfelt emo records I've heard.
this song always hits me right in the feelings
This song is amazing. So much emotion and energy. Not many songs give the feeling this song does. One of my favorites. Specially the breakdown, i love that reverb and piano. That dialogue is just extraordinary . This whole song makes me wonder/think of people I cared that are no longer with me.
This is one of the few songs that is able to make me cry literally every time I listen to it.
If im so afraid to die, why does thinking of death feel so good
Because the truth doesn't hurt once you realize it.
Oops I'm crying again
erik s. i am erik s p.
erik p Hello, Eriks s and p.
I am Bane.
This is one of my favourite songs.
never heard a song so raw and full of emotion, and never heard a song that can convey a message as strong as this. wow.
we need this on spotify...
I've tried so many times but I just cannot listen to this song without choking up
Starting the day with this absolute banger!!! It's not often that a song is perfect 👌 I remember the first time I heard this.. It blew my mind so much, I cried a 1000 tears. It reached.. That place😢
Right in the feels.
It only took about a hundred listens before I could listen to this song without tearing up
yuowmesummeth still can't
Only a hundred?
You had to know I was lying
You had to know how much I hated myself for smiling like a fool
For spending our last few minutes together deceiving you
Matthew, your smile in the face of your greatest fear was the greatest gift a mother has ever received from her child.
I miss you
I know
chills
Powerful song. Extremely emotional. touches the bottom of the wound.
I literally just got chills just from the opening lines.
Letra 😁:
And I miss home
And I miss the closets, the windows, the hallways
And when we are gone who will keep up the garden?
Like a mother calling her boy
I am, I am so unsafe
But she can't do it alone
But there's nothing stronger than her prayers
Nothing stronger than the smell of reds
My fathers reds
Under bridges waiting to look forward
Waiting for rushes ends
Living in the moment is the homeless mantra

All we have, all we have
All we have is letting sleeping dogs lay
All we have, all we have
All we have is letting sleeping dogs lay

this is so amazing, gives me the chills its so beautiful... cant wait to see these guys live !
I think this is the only song
that has got me choked up in a longgg time.
This song slays me, dude. It's the saddest. T_T
me too
This and American Football's "Never Meant" are the feel songs.
Adam Benjamin its emo
oh man this song is so beautiful..
Beautiful.
Ahhhhhh soooo many feels e.e So fucking perfect ♡
this song hits way to close. I ran away from home.
After listening to this song for three hours, it has become one of my favorites. The emotion in his vocals are incredible. He isn't talking about drugs, women, or alcohol, he's actually screaming his lungs out about something everyone can relate to. Simply amazing.
I'm just going to keep sobbing.
This song makes me feel like I understand nothing.
This song makes me want to go fucking hug my mom, man..
+Mason Likes Punk Rock Wish I could man.. Give her a hug for us boys that can't.
+Mason Likes Punk Rock meaning the boys that lost their mothers.
+Derek Bray we do. all best.
When I first heard this song, I didn’t really understand it, it hadn’t fully sunk in.
But now, I understood the heart of this song and it’s meaning, it’s now one of my all time favourite songs. I couldn’t imagine losing my mother.
I wouldn’t change a single thing about this song. Beginning to end, it’s a masterpiece to me. I struggle to get through this song without getting extremely emotional every time.
in my opinion probably one of the best videos ever made
2019 still here
How can you say that?
We were liars
We clung to those songs like we so desperately wanted to Cling to you.
Then I don't think you heard the same song I did
AWESOME!!!!
All awesome bands including this one.
that little kid looks about 30 years old
the beyonces kid
Spencer Chamberlain
Rogelio Castillo I can kinda see it in the screaner, but not as much in his voice
I lost my dad when I was 13, over a decade ago and nothing has really been the same since. This song makes me long so strongly for a sense of home that I can’t have.
i heart this band for this song.
