The spotlight was given to them by Warner and when they parted ways, that's when the spotlight ended. They still shine brighter than anything Warner could have done for them and at least the people who really care about their music still give them the attention they deserve and vice vs.
What baffles me? Is that this brilliant band, has not got the recognition they deserve. The lyrical content of their songs are so intelligent & thoughtful, with a depth of honesty and realism, not found in a band so young. Hopefully more people will get to hear Eisley, they are really that good :)
I heard some awful rumours about the members though. Which is prob why they never prospered. But my younger teen heart will always be with some of their songs.
LYRICS: If I had one wish it'd be for you and all your friends that didn't like me If I had one wish it'd be that we had danced more at that apocryphal wedding If I sound angry, I'm sorry This body can only cry for so long And if you want to blame me, then go on I'm smiling now 'cause I'm smarter than you think I'm smarter than you I'm smarter than you think And I apologize for not telling you that my halo was cut from paper Sliced from the fibers that made up all the parts that we were together Even though I miss you, I'm thankful Its obvious that this war was futile So put your hands together and clap for The painful choice you've made 'cause it's right I'm smarter than you I'm smarter than you think I'm smarter than you I'm smarter than you think You are the narcissist You're everything you saw in me (Into the sea you fell In love with the reflection of yourself) You are the narcissist You're everything you saw in me (I felt the ocean's grip I swam away to watch you drift) You failed to see I'm smarter than you think I'm smarter than you think I'm smarter than you I'm smarter than you think I'm smarter than you I'm smarter than you think I'm smarter than you (I found out) I'm smarter than you think (The hard way this time) I'm smarter than you (We were right) I'm smarter than you think (This was all wrong)
My sister and I used to play shows as a duo called "Vintage People" after Eisley's song, and we wore the same dress Sherri did in this video, for our mom's wedding in December 2011, and my friend gave me his Rhodes after he found out I was so in love with Stacy's for years. Y'all have always been a huge part of my life. I'm obsessed with Defeatist now, but have been a fan since Telescope Eyes EP.
I've been listening to Eisley for 6 years now. If you've seen them live, you'll agree that they are spot on, if not even better live. So much talent. This song is so amazing. I think this is the perfect post-break-up song.
Eisley is the only band that I listened to while I was younger, and am still proud to listen to today. Simply nothing but, pure, raw talent. Every song is a gem unto itself. Hears to many more years of blissful and utterly amazing music.
Here is my geek out story... A friend posted this video on the Facebook. It was love at first sight and listen. I instantly download the Valley from iTunes. I listened to the record all morning until I had to get to work. When I arrived at work I purchased the Valley ( that's twice now) on vinyl, Room Noises and Laughing City. Or everything we had at the time.. You Ladies are hands down the most beautiful women in rock history! P.s. Please release your back catalog on vinyl!
Was talking to my girlfriend about guilty pleasures and Eisley was one of them... So I went on youtube to see how they've been doing... Its good to see they're all sounding amazing still... And always killing it with their style!

It's called constructive criticism, being able to handle it maturely, learn from it, use it to make your work better, is the difference between a professional whose personal goal is always to improve and an amateur who's only looking to have their ego polished.
LOVE IT!!!! IT came out wonderfully!!!!! Wedding into a funeral. Great concept. Can't wait for more new Eisleys tuff! So glad the 3rd record finally dropped! It's amazing!!!
aw they are adults now! Don't know if I really like where this song is going, I really connected with their music about being young and outside and in love :)
I love Eisley, Sherri and and Stacy look great and the sound is superb. This video is reminiscent of their invasion video, I was expecting something altogether different, maybe next time. Looking forward to seeing Eisley live in Michigan in a few days at Bledfest! :-)
Damn. First time I really sit and listen to Eisley wow... I am in awe I haven't given them a chance. In other words. New band on my list of what i should listen to.
Woooo, finally! This might be a weird comment, but I really like the colours...or the tones...or whatever you call them. Has a really cool feeling. (And Sherri looks badass when she's walking through the forest)
Not to sound like your generic hipster over here, but I knew about them when they were just a small band playing little shows at the tiniest venues in Tyler, TX, and I'm so happy that over the past few years they've finally gained the recognition they deserve.
I love every song I hear. Y'all have great talent Please keep going. I love hearing bands from Texas that can really reach people. Congrats on all you're success.

My 16-year-old self did not know how much my 24-year-old self would need this song.
same but I'm 20
I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND 🙏❤️☺️👍
Literally!!!!!!!!!! Now 26 year old me is literally sitting here with chills like holy fuck
its 2023 and we still waiting for your comeback
They defintely dabbled at a breakout as a band. But they did not quite make it.
@@BillBird2111 Rising Fawn is still some of the most angelic work I have ever witnessed in my life
Damn good song, this band is really underrated.
David Nocturnal sadly,I agree,eisley is such a good band that deserved way more time under the spotlight
The spotlight was given to them by Warner and when they parted ways, that's when the spotlight ended. They still shine brighter than anything Warner could have done for them and at least the people who really care about their music still give them the attention they deserve and vice vs.
What baffles me?
Is that this brilliant band, has not got the recognition they deserve.
The lyrical content of their songs are so intelligent & thoughtful, with a depth of honesty and realism, not found in a band so young.
Hopefully more people will get to hear Eisley, they are really that good :)
Hear hear
Yeah, they never got the level of recognition they deserved. They're so amazing.
The only thing kinda good about the travesty, is at least they can feel like "our"s 😅
I heard some awful rumours about the members though. Which is prob why they never prospered. But my younger teen heart will always be with some of their songs.
@@nahbirdie4773 what? the majestic ethereal DuPrees??! nahh birdie noo, i cant take any more of such revelations of ppl i admire!!
I think it’s time for an Eisley comeback! I’ve been listening for about 15 years
Original telescope eyes
Captivating band, but I think the chance of a reunion is somewhere between zero and zilch.
@@danielcastillo4301 maybe someday Sherri's kids can form Eisley 2.
They actually released a new song it's in band camp.
Even though I think they are never going to make a full on come back . I think Sherri might treat us to the occasional release.
It blows my mind that families as adorable as the Duprees exist. Like I could watch a family of puppies play in a band and it wouldn't be as cute.
As a 34 year old dude, I gotta say, this record has been a staple in my music consumption for the last 10 years. It’s just simply beautiful.
I love the nose-on-mic action Sherri's nose is getting! Cutest human being alive, aside from her sweet, sweet baby girl Lucy.
haha even in the really old videos Sherri did that. I wish I had a girlfriend as cute as her :/
Skylar Fidom
don't be weird
+technicality1 don't tell me how to feel :(
Skylar Fidom 2 years later but that wasnt a weird thing to say
+Miles O'Brien No it was weird.
I love the way sherri pushes her nose against the microphone when she sings; it's like she sings with urgency and so much passion
It's quite funny haha
This song makes the middle school Paramore fan that is evidently still inside me very happy
+RadiantSereneChaos
Funny you say that cause her husband ditched her for Haley Williams. lol.
+Vanfreyr you don't mean max bemis?
No, her first husband.
😆😜
+Vanfreyr Not to mention that this song is more than likely about the whole situation, haha.
Definitely an underrated band.
Don't listen to mainstream crap. Listen to Eisley.
I saw VEVO on one of her videos. She's mainstream, VEVO is mainstream.
It has aged like fine wine
Still loving this song. Sherri is absolutely captivating. Everything about this still screams authentic, intelligent, creative, and beautiful.
I can't believe that eisley just came though my check out line at walmart. I'm still in shock
Where?
Yeah where?
yea - where?!
Henderson, N.C
Matthew Morgan wow cool
LYRICS:
If I had one wish it'd be for you and all your friends that didn't like me
If I had one wish it'd be that we had danced more at that apocryphal wedding
If I sound angry, I'm sorry
This body can only cry for so long
And if you want to blame me, then go on
I'm smiling now 'cause I'm smarter than you think
I'm smarter than you
I'm smarter than you think
And I apologize for not telling you that my halo was cut from paper
Sliced from the fibers that made up all the parts that we were together
Even though I miss you, I'm thankful
Its obvious that this war was futile
So put your hands together and clap for
The painful choice you've made 'cause it's right
I'm smarter than you
I'm smarter than you think
I'm smarter than you
I'm smarter than you think
You are the narcissist
You're everything you saw in me
(Into the sea you fell
In love with the reflection of yourself)
You are the narcissist
You're everything you saw in me
(I felt the ocean's grip
I swam away to watch you drift)
You failed to see I'm smarter than you think
I'm smarter than you think
I'm smarter than you
I'm smarter than you think
I'm smarter than you
I'm smarter than you think
I'm smarter than you (I found out)
I'm smarter than you think (The hard way this time)
I'm smarter than you (We were right)
I'm smarter than you think (This was all wrong)

Wow, someone gave you a Rhodes? That sounds like an awesome friend. Any videos of the Vintage People band?
SO much underrated!!!!
It is my go to .
This is so poetic.
Owh man.. Goosebump when listen this song again after 10years..
I've been listening to Eisley for 6 years now. If you've seen them live, you'll agree that they are spot on, if not even better live. So much talent. This song is so amazing. I think this is the perfect post-break-up song.
Just discovered this band, they are amazing!

Oh Chad, you bad boy. Don't go on breaking hearts!
I'M SEEING THEM IN TWO DAYS AND I CANNOT WAIT AAH
How was it?
Mister Meister oh my gosh they sounded so amazing live, it was just so flawless
Caroline O. Ah great to hear! Wish I was there!
Lucky
God, I just miss so much my teenage days. Eisley were really important to me. Still love them to this date 💙
It's always nice when Chauntelle does some singing.
I have to say they have amazing voices. Especially the blonde keyboard player. Those lips and eyes. Beautiful.

My favorite thing about this song has always been the keyboard player singing "ooooooooo" the whole time haha really good song 👌🏻
Tomorrow my mission is to get all of your guys' songs on my Ipod. I can't say how great you all harmonize, and just perform.
Its original and very good. Surprised they don't make a stop in SF on their tour. We love music.
I cannot believe this is the first time I'm seeing this. Absolutely stunning and heart wrenching.
Just saw them in Lubbock tonight. They were ridiculously good. Like... surprisingly good live. I hope they come back.
Was talking to my girlfriend about guilty pleasures and Eisley was one of them... So I went on youtube to see how they've been doing... Its good to see they're all sounding amazing still... And always killing it with their style!
Why would Eisley be a guilty pleasure?
They really need more recognition. They're so amazing and they're not noticed enough. I love them.
I can't believe there aren't more views for this video. Eisley is one of my favorite bands.

When she starts singing it looks like the life just immediately entered her. It's so cool. I love Eisley so so so so so much! They're amazing!
started looking for new bands and songs to listen to and Eisley popped up in a comment. I'm so glad i looked them up. Love this song:')
2018 and still here!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU EISLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!

@@imogenthompson8632 Yeah, but the only original member is Sherri.
i got to see them live last night, soooo much fun, they played this, they are better live!
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not only is it good but she's GORGEOUS.
Words cannot express how much I love this song, and how much I love her haha they are just the cutest family
still listening to this in 2017. first discovered in 2011. how time does flies.
It's called constructive criticism, being able to handle it maturely, learn from it, use it to make your work better, is the difference between a professional whose personal goal is always to improve and an amateur who's only looking to have their ego polished.
forever in love with her voice
I love eisley 2010 and before! The new stuff still needs to grow on me

Not to sound like your generic hipster over here, but I knew about them when they were just a small band playing little shows at the tiniest venues in Tyler, TX, and I'm so happy that over the past few years they've finally gained the recognition they deserve.
Just discovered this band about 20 mins ago when I saw someone do a cover of their song ambulance. They sound awesome!
