they are they are not main stream and the songs they come up with are meaningful. they are normal people like everyone else. :)and that is why I love them.
exactly my thoughts. This line-up had all the passion and emotions for this sound. The line-up changes stepped their game up but their sound changed too much. The last single 'Dissolve' got nothing on Dear G-d, too much synth/pop elements :( But I still love BAAO
I worked the stage for joel, nicest guy ever..... at this point and no dig at all I do think they could have done another album of this perfection before they stepped away, truly a classic now I guess. Now lift it high
@@thealexeitubeI’ve listened to the most recent album and it’s fantastic, death can wait captures that old baao sound while still being innovative.. it’s fantastic
Tyler said he recorded Dear God with an Orange Rocker 30. Their tone has always amazed me. You can pretty much get there with any good quality light overdrive and reverb.
It's been almost 10 years since I first bought this album on vinyl. After all these years I can firmly say that this will always be my favorite album of all time. I have never had an album carry me through so many highs and lows, and no matter what point in the journey I listen to it this album always makes me feel...alive
"Salute E Vita" Raise your glass high And share with me in my joys and grievings I toast to the mountains and valleys To the future and the days gone by I invite you in with good humor and levity All I have is yours and I pray that you drink deeply My cup has been emptied So I may see what it tastes like to be free Cause for so long this glass has owned me Focused on the chalice rather than what it contained So I gave all of worth to the needy and the rest to the sea Then I looked around at all of the beautiful things that I had gained What can a glass speak of its contents And can it boast at its filling? What else could it do but mutter a quiet thanks So it is that I look forward to my spillings For I am sure that such times are the only thing steadying my hands from their violent shaking So with gladness in my heart and hope in my eyes I drink to my fill of Your celebration wine And as I pour glass after glass I’ll lift it high (I’ll lift You high) And give a hearty toast to life
This band blends various elements together to create something that fans of heavy stuff and indie stuff can enjoy. It's interesting. The more I listen, the more drawn in I am.
Pubmaster Drax hey bro check out La Dispute or even Touche Amore, they're similar with the melodic part of it but the vocals are a bit different. Think you would dig them for sure.
I just now discovered these guys andI dont think I will turn away. Harsh vocals, Clean/Melodic riffs, meaninful lyrics. Keep it up, guys. You earned yourself a new fan.
I had the privilege to see them live, seriously one of the best nights of my life. When i'm in a bad mood or just depressed their music always gives me the strength to continue going forward and not giving up on everything. thanks for making perfect music!!
I wasn't a huge fan of these guys the first time I heard them. I gave them another chance though and they're now one of my go-tos. I can't express enough how much I love the emotion they put into the music they make, and how much I love the fact that they stand for something worth standing for. I'm not even a religious person, but their lyrics still get to me. I'm in love with this band.
Probably because you wrote "ur" instead of "your". Look at her sentence; it's capitalized and punctuated. Now look at yours. Typing like an illiterate is turn off by many women.
Despite Im atheist and their lyrics are super religious I really apreciate them on a moral way, great band, but for me their lyrics is what makes them outstanding.
ya know, I am spiritual in my own sense, rather than holding true to any specific religion or doctrine i've kinda developed my own ideas. But I believe the lyrics are very universal, especially to this song. they present an idea that I feel like is applicable to the life we all share and our own individual selves, regardless of what lens you view and interpret your surroundings with
manolation1993 I'm not religious at all, And they're my favorite band. Even with Thier religious lyrics there still very meaningful to me. so I understand what you're saying
I am also not religious at all. But gladly every human being can interpret every song and lyric for itself. Absolutely one of my favorite bands, which brings me to tears very often.
Oh my God! We scream together when sensibility of melodies is combines with heart-breaking confession. "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be." / Lukas 22:42
the music you guys make tell us so much. not just through lyrics but also through drums and guitar. you guys together make amazing music. "Raise your glass high"
It's good to finally see atheists and Christians getting along well in a comment section. Being a strong and devouted Christian im usually on the receiving end of the hate and ridicule. However, if you are an atheist I'd urge you to seek Christ and be saved. You will never regret it. :)
+Camel Toe Right? Whatever makes you happy makes me happy, as long as you're a good person. That's my philosphy and I'm an Atheist. My favourite band, by far, is August Burns Red and they're Christians but I couldn't care less. They are amazing people, I've met them in person and know that they are. I've met a bunch of great people who are Christians, Muslims, Atheists etc. It doesn't matter. Bottomline is; People are crazy, not religion.
+Travis Day Have you stopped to wonder if the reason people hate and ridicule you has something to do with idiotic comments? This band is wicked. And I'll be honest if I were to find that they were religious it most probably change my opinion of them. This music that I love started as the very antithesis of organised religion, corporations, conformity to social norms etc. That and in my opinion the above mentioned are THE most oppressive institutions in the world, yet at the moment Islamic extremists are ascending heaven on piles of headless bodies, Israel and Palestine still squabble, and my own native Maori culture was crushed under the banner of Christ. In short; I have a problem with religion and a large number of its adherents. Hardcore music used to stress the point of individuality and unity, while preachers stressed that it was the devils music, there seems to have been a fundamental misunderstanding. Though each to their own, that just my $0.02nz
I love how you can hear the twang from the Telecaster. Tele's are so sexy looking guitars and very versatile, even with a singelcoil pickup. They have a great sound.
Raise your glass high And share with me in my joys and grievings I toast to the mountains and valleys To the future and the days gone by I invite you in with good humor and levity All I have is yours and I pray that you drink deeply My cup has been emptied So I may see what it tastes like to be free Cause for so long this glass has owned me Focused on the chalice rather than what it contained So I gave all of worth to the needy and the rest to the sea Then I looked around at all of the beautiful things that I had gained What can a glass speak of its contents And can it boast at its filling?

I am kinda new to this band. but the lyrics are great. the way they blend the melodic guitar with the raw screams is awesome. personally I am a Christian so this is a band that I can really get into
I have got the same with this band (and I am also a Christian) and i can't get enough of them :) You might also like Wolves at the Gate, its more heavy but their lyrics are really good!
Sleepwalker926 Ofcourse I can also enjoy music that is not related to God or religion, its just that when a band also speaks words that match your view on the world, that its even better and more enjoyable for me. Because for me lyrics are important in a song.
Don't listen to these guys. It takes a special kind of arrogance to tell someone else the reasons they should be listening to music. The fact that the lyrics are bent towards worship is AWESOME.
How? As a drummer, I can understand Conor's complexity and beautiful fluency wilth his fills and such, their old drummer is very generic, but I will admit that he gave us the "old being as an ocean sound" while Conor helps the band experience news sounds with his technique so similar to Aaron Gelespie (old under oath drummer).
This is great their older stuff wasnt great they were trying to be like other hardcore bands to much but they have found their sound now and its fucking great
ORYIN Amen to that, i listen to christian,country, and this metal/(rock?) mix i love the vairiety and it also depends on the mood im in to know what i want to listen to!
a friend recommended that i listen to the badn and i shit you not i feel in love with how different they sound. Melodic Hardcore, wow, who knew its simply the shit and they sounds fucking gnarly.
wooooooowww i hope i see you guys someday ..i knew that you came very close to my town but i was so busy with college ...fuck i regret that haha love your music and total respect from Ensenada B.C!!!

I've never seen a band who's youtube comments are filled purely with love rather than random sprays of hate. These guys must be pretty special.
they are they are not main stream and the songs they come up with are meaningful. they are normal people like everyone else. :)and that is why I love them.
both of you suck
atksenc I'm gonna guess you're not a fan of stuff that has meaning, huh? Just a guess
Jinxed it
Be sure to check Make Them Suffer. They've really strong lyrics as well!
Miss this BAAO so much. They're still solid now, but Dear G-d was grade A.
exactly my thoughts. This line-up had all the passion and emotions for this sound. The line-up changes stepped their game up but their sound changed too much. The last single 'Dissolve' got nothing on Dear G-d, too much synth/pop elements :( But I still love BAAO
Back then they were formidable
I worked the stage for joel, nicest guy ever.....
at this point and no dig at all I do think they could have done another album of this perfection before they stepped away, truly a classic now I guess.
Now lift it high
@@thealexeitubeI’ve listened to the most recent album and it’s fantastic, death can wait captures that old baao sound while still being innovative.. it’s fantastic
As a guitarist, i find it really interesting how much emotion is created simply by using a cleaner tone.
More of a bright crunchy tone really. Just a combination of the 6505 tone and a Boss Blues Driver.
I noticed that too. instead of a heavy tone, a clean one
Tyler said he recorded Dear God with an Orange Rocker 30. Their tone has always amazed me. You can pretty much get there with any good quality light overdrive and reverb.
Same, Love this sound so much but sadly nowadays they only use distortion in live show
NatFlaps it's amazing how you can express so much emotion through music
I still have such severe goose bumps after years
Hey I'm not the only one here in 2021 😃
It's been almost 10 years since I first bought this album on vinyl. After all these years I can firmly say that this will always be my favorite album of all time. I have never had an album carry me through so many highs and lows, and no matter what point in the journey I listen to it this album always makes me feel...alive
"Salute E Vita"
Raise your glass high
And share with me in my joys and grievings
I toast to the mountains and valleys
To the future and the days gone by
I invite you in with good humor and levity
All I have is yours and I pray that you drink deeply
My cup has been emptied
So I may see what it tastes like to be free
Cause for so long this glass has owned me
Focused on the chalice rather than what it contained
So I gave all of worth to the needy and the rest to the sea
Then I looked around at all of the beautiful things that I had gained
What can a glass speak of its contents
And can it boast at its filling?
What else could it do but mutter a quiet thanks
So it is that I look forward to my spillings
For I am sure that such times are the only thing steadying my hands from their violent shaking

I drink to my fill of Your celebration wine
And as I pour glass after glass
I’ll lift it high
(I’ll lift You high)
And give a hearty toast to life
Thank u so much for this
This band blends various elements together to create something that fans of heavy stuff and indie stuff can enjoy.
It's interesting. The more I listen, the more drawn in I am.
melodic hardcore
That's what I figured, but I haven't heard anything quite like this before.
Pubmaster Drax check out 'Emergency gate" if you get a chance, their a german metal band, very similar styles..
Pubmaster Drax hey bro check out La Dispute or even Touche Amore, they're similar with the melodic part of it but the vocals are a bit different. Think you would dig them for sure.
You said exactly what I was thinking.
This band is so clean. Love the melodic soothing sound this band produces
This was definitely the dream team of being as an ocean
I've never heard of heart in hand....thank you
The melodic beauty and the badass lyrics will always keep this song as a top 10 in my book. I LIFT IT HIGH
Why is this band so perfect ?
+Dylan Aramini because all songs talk´s about GOD ;)
+BlackillerKatanaboy As much as that's an influence to them, I think it's because they straight up KICK ANUS.
+mac cavanah couldn't have said it better.
Because they write actually meaningful lyrics, unlike the shitty, generic pop artists.
+Randy Speight Hyper Agreed
Finally cracked the 1,000,000 view mark boys. Congrats what a tune!!
ive never heard such sincerity in music before, being as an ocean are musical perfection.
Such a strong band lyrically, I love them.
You are the one of the greatest bands ever †
I just now discovered these guys andI dont think I will turn away. Harsh vocals, Clean/Melodic riffs, meaninful lyrics. Keep it up, guys. You earned yourself a new fan.
so emotional and powerful. everytime i listen to this one alone i'm in tears. see you guys in warsaw PL!
I had the privilege to see them live, seriously one of the best nights of my life. When i'm in a bad mood or just depressed their music always gives me the strength to continue going forward and not giving up on everything. thanks for making perfect music!!
Man I keep coming back to this song so good
I wasn't a huge fan of these guys the first time I heard them. I gave them another chance though and they're now one of my go-tos. I can't express enough how much I love the emotion they put into the music they make, and how much I love the fact that they stand for something worth standing for. I'm not even a religious person, but their lyrics still get to me. I'm in love with this band.
right here, right now, i know it's only 6pm but this is the music that i wanted and needed... thank you, i am feeling like an ocean!
This band is fucking perfection.
so is ur face
^this nigga was smooth asf and he aint even got a reaction
my dating life in general broh xD
Benjamin Doggwiler haha you'll find yours sooner or later. ik your feels
Probably because you wrote "ur" instead of "your". Look at her sentence; it's capitalized and punctuated. Now look at yours. Typing like an illiterate is turn off by many women.
Despite Im atheist and their lyrics are super religious I really apreciate them on a moral way, great band, but for me their lyrics is what makes them outstanding.
You and I both. I feel the same exact way, and am also atheist.
ya know, I am spiritual in my own sense, rather than holding true to any specific religion or doctrine i've kinda developed my own ideas.
But I believe the lyrics are very universal, especially to this song. they present an idea that I feel like is applicable to the life we all share and our own individual selves, regardless of what lens you view and interpret your surroundings with

Found this band recently, and yes, it's the same for me.
salute e vita = health & life in itallian
thank you for your information
In Spanish it'd be salud y vida
+HanaSaysHai in portuguese is saúde e vida :D
yep, im italian
ne sai
This song is pure perfection.
Peace, love, and melodic hardcore
Oh my God! We scream together when sensibility of melodies is combines with heart-breaking confession. "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be." / Lukas 22:42
the music you guys make tell us so much. not just through lyrics but also through drums and guitar. you guys together make amazing music.
"Raise your glass high"
I agree. He is quite the singer. You can also really hear how amazing his voice is in the song, "This Lonliness Won't Last Forever."
I usually listen to this song just for that ending riff
Touches my heart every time.
i love joel's voice, so beautiful. :)
+Steven Amagan chi long qua and BAAO, you're a good person
ikr =)))) so shiieeeet
It's good to finally see atheists and Christians getting along well in a comment section. Being a strong and devouted Christian im usually on the receiving end of the hate and ridicule. However, if you are an atheist I'd urge you to seek Christ and be saved. You will never regret it. :)
+Travis Day Everybody has their own beliefs and that is fine, but don't try to push yours onto others because you think it is right. =p No offense.
+Travis Day Oh the irony.

Being As An Ocean, La Dispute, Touché Amoré, Defeater, Pianos Become The Teeth, The Story So Far. A great generation.
What can a glass speak of its contents... still so powerful
i don't know why i think of circle takes the square whenever i hear these guys. just so raw. poetic. powerful. nothing short of amazing.
Hi. Just here to be the 365th comment. Meaning we will listen to this masterpiece all days throughout the year.
love this band. love what they stand for, and their music and melodies are just heavenly.
You guys are forever my favorite band.
This song is so amazing, I was speechless when I heard it
can't wait to see these guys next month :}
I love how you can hear the twang from the Telecaster. Tele's are so sexy looking guitars and very versatile, even with a singelcoil pickup. They have a great sound.
Beautiful song, these boys come along way, very proud!
never get tired of this one
Favorite track off of the album !
Still can’t find a album with this vibe. Cheers to a fucked 2020!
I freaking love the guitar at the end so much
great guitar work, not too many bands play riffs like these.
I love how the guitars aren't that distorted but they still work so well.
These guys are like a harder La Dispute. I love everything about that.
Raise your glass high
And share with me in my joys and grievings
I toast to the mountains and valleys
To the future and the days gone by
I invite you in with good humor and levity
All I have is yours and I pray that you drink deeply
My cup has been emptied
So I may see what it tastes like to be free
Cause for so long this glass has owned me
Focused on the chalice rather than what it contained
So I gave all of worth to the needy and the rest to the sea
Then I looked around at all of the beautiful things that I had gained
What can a glass speak of its contents
And can it boast at its filling?
What else could it do but mutter a quiet thanks
So it is that I look forward to my spillings
For I am sure that such times are the only thing steadying my hands from their violent shaking
So with gladness in my heart and hope in my eyes
I drink to my fill of Your celebration wine
And as I pour glass after glass
I’ll lift it high
(I’ll lift You high)
And give a hearty toast to life
Cette chanson me prend toujours autant aux tripes 🙏
Longue vie à BAAO
I love you guys so much.
I am so proud of these guys fr -
This band is great, I really dig these kind of vocals and lyricism.
I am kinda new to this band. but the lyrics are great. the way they blend the melodic guitar with the raw screams is awesome. personally I am a Christian so this is a band that I can really get into
I have got the same with this band (and I am also a Christian) and i can't get enough of them :)
You might also like Wolves at the Gate, its more heavy but their lyrics are really good!
this is a band you can get into cause your a christian? religion shouldn't play a part with what music you should really get into or not
no religions .just music my friend please
Sleepwalker926 Ofcourse I can also enjoy music that is not related to God or religion, its just that when a band also speaks words that match your view on the world, that its even better and more enjoyable for me. Because for me lyrics are important in a song.
Don't listen to these guys. It takes a special kind of arrogance to tell someone else the reasons they should be listening to music. The fact that the lyrics are bent towards worship is AWESOME.
I miss this drummer
How? As a drummer, I can understand Conor's complexity and beautiful fluency wilth his fills and such, their old drummer is very generic, but I will admit that he gave us the "old being as an ocean sound" while Conor helps the band experience news sounds with his technique so similar to Aaron Gelespie (old under oath drummer).

When it’s been 7 years since you heard a song
I miss this Baao so much.
"Give a heart toast to life." The outro hits home
So good, Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
beautiful.
I'd say Being As An Ocean and Liferuiners are like brothers.
Being As An Ocean and Heart In Hand are best-best friends.
This is great their older stuff wasnt great they were trying to be like other hardcore bands to much but they have found their sound now and its fucking great
I feel peace.
Your are my Inspiration
Love this!

A song full of happiness, love and peace:);)(3
Wow what a throwback

That Guitar tone
I listen to stuff like this and classical music, odd mix but you know.
ORYIN Amen to that, i listen to christian,country, and this metal/(rock?) mix i love the vairiety and it also depends on the mood im in to know what i want to listen to!

I love it when this guy sings or just talks, and the content and musicians are great, but I just can't get myself to like his scream.
