Song was needed when it came out! Relevant now more than ever!
So damm true!
So, as an official old dude, this is why this band has stayed relevant to me for twenty years. All of it. Since '97 when it was completely uncool to like SCL. And I never cared, cause this band is for me, not for impressing my friends...
And as far as BLM being a divisive force, it's dividing pro status quo Republicans from everyone else who believes that everyone should have a chance and a voice. If you've a problem with black people speaking up for themselves, you are the problem. First amendment rights are for everyone, not just the people you agree with...
That's what a democracy is; we're all free to disagree, air our grievances and discuss them. And what's truly divisive in American politics is the fact there're only two parties to choose from...
As a black person, thank you for standing with us, seriously. Your comments were bloody brilliant. Again, thank you.
Well I think it really speaks it not just supposed to make you dance sometimes you need to really hear the message and depending on how you interpret ..well that's all you
Huh
throw up a peace sign... perfect. loved you guys since 97, waiting for you guys to come back to Fresno but 'til then, I'll throw up a peace sign too
BAD TASTE IN MUSIC
They'll come to you soon. Keep up with the peace signs :)
+Human Cobras Man why did you come here then... smh
Thank you for being a kind, caring, empathetic band. Just saw you guys last night for the first time at the dutchess county fair and your message was so loving and positive, it made me cry. I just picked up a guitar for the first time in a year. Thank YOU!!!
Brittany Strang 👭👬👫👪💏💑🙋💃👏🏃🚶🙅💁🙇✌❤💞💘💗💚💜💙💛🌈👌
its good to know the band is still appreciated.
Such a good song! It was so relevant to BLM movement; I used this song for a undergrad assignment when it first released. Thank you Stephen for always taking a stand! ❤
I absolutely love you guys even more and I didn't think that was possible.
I love this song so much and am so proud of SJ and 3eb writing and releasing this song. The first time I heard it I didn't like it because it was pretty different from their usual but it's now my favorite song on their new EP! I love the message because it's not just about defending a kid but it's about all of us choosing to be peaceful to each other, no matter what color you are. The way the drums kick in during the bridge is also my favorite musical part of this song.
And if the cops drove by, throw a peace sign
Say hey baby have a good night
WITH TWO SWORDS AND MAXIMUM EFFORT
YEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3eb cheers from Portugal (Europe)! Thanks for this amazing song and message! o/
great song indeed!!
cant stop hitting the replay button! lovin this song more and more day by day :) ....let the colors go blind \m/
Yes💘i love it too!💚much love PortugL💘✌
Love this song, I missed you 3EB , its been too long :-) Jumper was a message song too glad you're still at it :-)
Stephen always knows how to write meaningful lyrics with a catchy tune. Love this band.
Thank you for this song, Third Eye Blind. Proving that decency isn't dead. Wrong is wrong and a grown man tossing around a 14 year old girl is wrong. No matter the context.
And to anyone who says this is just so they can stay relevant, just a reminder that the VAST majority of their fans are white and it would have been a lot easier to sell records if they were saying the opposite.
She was 16. But yeah, doesn't really matter. Pretty fucked up what that cop did...
The love I have for Third Eye Blind is immeasurable and now that I see they support the #BlackLivesMatter campaign, I love them even more!
+Tsar Wojak They have never called for that. Check out their site. Also, there is always knuckleheads in every group.
💘💞💜💙✌
Such a shame that just a little research shows the BLM organization to be pure evil - ho hum
these comment kill me, when did whether or not throwing a kid against the wall breaking their arm become a liberal or conservative agenda?
Eric D. 💘💜👏✌
It looks like some people lost their empathy to politics.
Ridiculously excited for a new 3EB album. Dopamine and Ursa Major were killllllller, well structured albums that most current rock-pop bands should be incredibly envious of.
Please share this in light of current events. Some rock bands have been with the message for years.
Will ALWAYS love this band no matter how political they get, everyone has their views and should be allowed to express them in anyway that they would like. I do not 100% agree with their views but I still love them and their music and nothing is going to change that. I know a handful of bands that sing about their beliefs and what not and people still listen to them. Third Eye Blind forever.
Man that is so refreshing. I think we might disagree on somethings it doesn’t mean we have to be enemies.
The truth is that TEB did what they thought was right. Courage ❤️
This is awesome.
Good job 3EB.
I'M ALL FOR SONG ABOUT COPS, BUT THIS ONE IS GOD AWFUL. GENERIC AT BEST
Good Track. I don't know why their older songs aren't on their youtube page.
Such a good song and band. Great message, too.
I think it says a lot that believing that cops shouldn't be beating up on teenagers is considered any kind of bias. Based on the color of their skin of course. just think about what you're actually saying. if that's liberal bias then conservative bias would be "we should always beat up defenseless black teenagers" and a non biased opinion would be "oh I don't know if we should beat up teenagers or not...who knows"
This is so fuckin powerful. Police have become a brotherhood, and you guys are so incredibly brave for giving the voiceless a voice. something great people have died doing. MAD RESPECT.
Been waiting for 3EB to release an album for awhile now. Same great sound!
If there ever was a time (Zuccotti Occupy Wallstreet), Red Star (DDR), Non-Dairy Creamer (anti-republican), and now this. Some are more subtle than others. If you can't handle the objectivity and truth of this song, you can't handle Third Eye Blind. Go back to saying "Jumper" is your favorite song even though you have no clue what it is about. Thumbs up if you believe in science.
+jeffsaddiction sorry meant GDR (East Germany)
thumbs up!💜💪✌
It makes me sad to see so many people in the comments considering this song just "some liberal agenda pushing left wing propaganda."
This is supposed to be a positive song that sticks up for everyone. It's about peace and getting along. It's saying not all cops are bad. It also points out how some people don't have it as good as others and we should acknowledge that. Like what do you people disagree with in this song that makes you think it's leftist propaganda? All I hear is optimistic feel good music with a message about being decent human beings.
TEB made this song because they genuinely feel that way, not to pander to their audience (which is mostly white btw). They could have easily gone a more generic direction and gotten a lot less flak.
Most underrated comment!😍
the reason people find it to be political is because it mocks fox new which is generally seen as right wing news and it bolsters the group BLM...although the group BLM isnt officially associated to any political party...to act like this song doesnt have political undertones is ignorant. While the general message within the song CAN be seen as uplifting (there are absolutely political undertones within it). You don't need RATM level lyrics to be political...
God bless you.
This song man.. so... good in so many ways!
I'm honestly shocked about the comments from this video, I knew there'd be a few haters but this many? This is a great song with a great message that made me feel thankful that someone is actually saying what should be said. I can't believe that its 2016 and racism still exists on this level. No wonder Trump won. I love you 3EB and always will, fuck the haters this song is an anthem and deserves to be heard.
President Trump dated a Black woman, has deported Nazis, and fought for the rights of Blacks and Jews to gain admittance to country clubs that had previously excluded them. Pretty crappy track record for a racist, eh wot?
It's Kilary who encourages women of colour to abort their children and talked about inner city youth as violent thugs. Donald Trump spent the '80's fighting for the rights of Jews and Blacks to belong to country clubs that had previously excluded them. Get your facts straight before you listen to the mainstream leftist media
LOVE IT AND LOVE YOU 3EB ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL
Put aside politics and it's still a nice song. The beat and shit is really nice.
Fucking Beautiful!
I'm conservative and I like this song. Well put together 3eb. See you tonight.
I'm conservative as well, and I love 3EB, butttttt...they might as well make a pro-KKK song if they want to make pro-BLM songs now...
Music is not only an art and a form of expression, but my therapy! I love ALL genres of music. To MeMe, This song brings to light, a serious issue that presently affects our whole nation. If, by all means, WE, the people,.. ALL could possess the same love and respect for others, as we do for ourselves, what a wonderful world it could be? And yes, prepare yourself.... here’s the SHOCKER! It really IS that SIMPLE. Life is so much easier and better to possess PEACE AND LOVE, rather than HATRED AND EVIL. How hard is that to understand? “For a house that is divided, can NOT stand.” UNITED WE STAND,... DIVIDED WE FALL. :✌🏼💜🌎😇☝🏼
Amazing song.
Love them!
I love this message of peace and equality (desired)
best song ever
Jennings. .super fucken white and still doin it right! 3eb remains unnoticed as top 3 in list of 90's bands.and unparalleled in original sound type category... I love all there works... rediculously!!
Tuckin awesome!
great song
Nice song 👌🏻
i like this song
love it
This song deserves a music video.
This is the saddest representation of a massage we have ever seen.
OMG we would have our editor do it for free...
This song is genius
Tbh, I don't get why people are triggered over the lyrics. A song's about how good it is to be doing drugs and having 29 b*tches and no one cares, but people suddenly get triggered by a song about police brutality. There's nothing wrong with the lyrics and no one is being offended so there isn't really a reason to hate on them.
now its just Stephan w some new dudes being helped out touring their older stuff
You realize Brad, the original drummer, has always been in the band right? And the other dudes are mad talented.
Thanks
"Take it from me, I'm super fucking white" XD I can't really take this song seriously because of how it reads like a Facebook status, but it's got a good message and made me chuckle
Fucking awesome✌
Sad we were the only comments with ✌✌✌
the music sounds great. it will be unfortunate when BLM tells you to f off and denounces the support. but excellent job. been seeing you guys since the beginning. at canisius college years ago, Brad gave me the setlist off the stage. debut of Ursa major tour. still have it. bought blue the day it came out. and the clock can roll back further
I consider myself to be fairly conservative; however, I love this song as I support it’s message!
I LOVE YOU FOREVER
Like #666 🤘
I've loved you guys since I found SCL and Jumper in '97 as a 5th grader. You're the very first band I became really obsessed about. I couldn't be prouder to be a long time fan than I am now.
The comments here are great. What a time we live in...all the worthless pieces of shit are exposing themselves for what they really are. Finally. Keep fighting the good fight boys. #resist
I love the song but this sound a little different from what they used to be . Thumbs up still 👍👍
fucking love 3eb
which program they used to make the video?
It's alright. I like the message but they will definitely alienate folks. Which, maybe isn't a bad thing. The actual musicality of it though does feel to be lacking some depth. This is not the same 3EB that rolled out tunes like '10 days late', 'The Background' or 'Jumper'. This is a new 3EB. Not bad, just different. I've always like Stephan and Brad's approach to tunes, so I'll always support them.
+Tsar Wojak well I'm still here, so they got that going for them....
RABBLE! RABBLE! RABBLE! RABBLE! RABBLE!
semi charmed kinda cop vs a phone girl
At first I thought he said "I got black vans." lol
WOW
✌️✨
This is exactly the same band they were twenty years ago without Kevin the guitar player on the first two records and Orion. You guys must not be real fans or really know the music Stephan writes if you think this is a new type of material.
There are literally zero songs like this one their debut album. It's one of my all time favorites because it doesn't have politics on it.
This song was done after they fell off and needed money because of all the drugs and assholery
no more Kev nor tony to give Stephan something dope to write over as far as the music parta the song writing goes
Some of the comments in here are just plain stupid. "Trying to be relavant"? Why would he pick this subject to be "relavant"? If he is a try-hard, he'll talk about dabbing and pokemon Go and not something this serious. Artists write music when they feel convicted and they feel like they need to respond and speak from the heart. Now the subject here is some serious sh**, and I think more people need to respond and talk about things that matter. .... And also.... the music is great, agree or not =)
✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
Have no idea how I missed this song.
the intro is a bit like Persephone....great song though
This song is amazing and still rings true today! Thanks TEB for speaking out, you are making a difference! (if even to bring the racist assholes to light).
That....That was pretty depressing.
you're kidding yourself
Their new music isn't half-bad. But any diehard fan (like myself) knows that the albums, while all HAVE great songs on them, decreased in quality as the band aged. My personal favorites are God of Wine, Motorcycle Drive By, Wounded, Darkness, Forget Myself, Water Landing, Company of Strangers, and My Time in Exile. The Mine cover was really good, too. This is sort of bubblegummy but hey, props to them for taking stances and trying even as they get older.
I don't really agree too much with blm but I do understand what they are coming from. I do like this song though. keep going good.
WOW, YOU LIKE IT??? MY FRIEND IS A FAN OF THEIRS AND SHE EVEN SAID THIS SONG SUCKS BIG TIME. IT DOES. IT'S SO GENERIC. I AM NOT UPSET ABOUT WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT. i AM UPSET THAT PEOPLE THINK IT'S GOOD. GET SOME TASTE.
+Human Cobras How pathetic are you? Have you nothing better to do than create a RUclips account so you can become some keyboard warrior. Do you get off on thinking that you're being heard or that your inconsiderate, unfounded and misdirected actions are somehow meaningful now that you've put them online? This song and band promotes cooperation, equality and unity and you waste your time writing this garbage. Why not make better use of your time?
Fuck off. Telling people to get better taste is music? Music speaks to everyone differently. Just because YOU and some others think it sucks, doesn't mean it actually sucks. Have some respect for other people's opinions.
+James Jones Jesus what did I do to you. you are the one trying to act like the keyboard warrior. all I said was that I liked the sound but don't agree with blm. I think they are too extreme but seriously. who pissed in your cheerios?
+Matthew McLaughlin thanks
Lol...
It's ok to be white. Take it from me, I'm super white.
Why is it just “black”?
The last time MeMe checked, a crayon box has more colors than just BLACK,...
okay tbh this song kinda seems like a joke. ik the message overall is serious but lyrically this is kind of a joke. but then again idk any other songs by them so maybe they just suck lyrically
if you don't know any other songs by them then look some up haha they are amazing
This song is definitely the exception. I have all 5 of their LPs and this hardly resembles them.
I totally get what Black Lives Matter is trying to say. But the fact I can be called racist for saying All Lives Matter is fucking stupid. I'm against violence toward any race but apparently I have to word it a certain way or I'm a racist
Bet she puts her phone up now
This band is a pretty liberal band to begin with, like from the start. Their music talked about drug addiction. Also most bands/artists are progressive speaking people so 90% of these comments are just experiencing cognitive dissonance
This isn’t a political song
good beat...but I could do without the virtue signaling and preachy overtones.
Stop demonizing solidarity, LibertyMan.
I've been infatuated with just about everything they put out since the debut album-Ursa Major. I thought Dopamine had its moments, but wasn't anything special. However, I think they really hit rock-bottom with this song. The song structure and progressions just don't have much taste; similar to what you'd hear on today's pop radio station. The biggest disappointment with this, is by far the lyrics. Jenkins has conjured up some well-written and thought out lyrics. With this, the lyrics just really lack depth and nothing about it is poetic. And I'm not saying this because "I don't agree with his political views." It's the expression and delivery of them that's weak and if anything, the lyrics were cringeworthy at times in this specific song. Bands need to change as they age, and I feel like 3EB isn't doing so hot with that. They have released so much wonderful stuff in the past. I've been to five 3EB shows, and they usually play a very similar set each time. It would just be nice to see them play some of their older, underappreciated songs rather than these new tracks that lack what some of the die-hard fans love about the band. I'm not ever going to say "I am no longer a fan because they released ___," but I feel like all I can say about this song is that it at least has some meaning, but that's literally it. I just needed to get that off my chest for awhile, I still love you, 3EB!
This is tough to listen to. Very tough. Maybe just a couple paragraphs on social media of your views of police brutality would do instead of whatever the hell this is.
The topic is good, but the lyrics are pretty cheesy and awkward and the music sounds like bad 90's trip hop mixed with a boy band and trendy techno dance pop. So yeah, not a good sound. Where are the guitars?
The epic 3eb guitar sounds left with Kevin Cadogan.
That's funny, I was just thinking how much I like this 'sound' of music, especially paired of with Jenkins voice. I'm digging it. But yeah, the instrumentally complicated rifts left with Cadogan and Arion. I think Jenkins is writing the instrumentals or something because the rifts seem pretty simple and he was never known for being a class A player.
i love the song, it has a good beat, but the lyrics suck sorta and the lyric video sucks. it's just 2 images repeated multiple times. this song is good, but motorcycle drive-by is better.
Tucker I agree with the message of the song but what I don't think is right is how innocent they made "Shakara" out to be. She probably wasn't as cooperative as they're making it seem. "Shakara showed up to class and pulled out her mobile phone and wouldn't put it away when the teacher told her to twice and cursed the teacher out when the teacher tried to take it away from her until the end of class" would probably be more accurate lyrics, but again I wasn't there.
All life matters \m/ Say no to Racism
These kids get away with far too much thus the reason they have no respect for authority or anyone for that matter
Like the kids of your day where any better. The same shit happened back then as that is happening today on account of stories of my mother and father and grandparents and aunts and uncles have told me. Go fuck yourself.
It's not bad songwriting because it's political, it's just not Stephen's story to tell. Seems like a big virtue signal.
sigh... this is not the kind of stuff that made me fall in love with 3eb 20 years ago. i get bands evolve, but shit man... just... no. stop it.
Stephen C scared of the truth? That’s a normal reaction.
😄sigh, ur phunniieee😄👌
I'm REALLY really hoping that 3eb is just pandering to try to stay relevant, I would understand that. But if they are dead serious about making a song like this, they will lose a lot of my respect
Why? Everything that they say in this strong is true. A cop manhandled a high schooler and broke her arm because she didn't want to leave her class. That's fucked up, and something that doesn't even seem possible in a white suburban school. There's nothing anti-cop or anti-white or whatever in this song. It's really just a generic, catchy call for peace.
mikewalker678
yeah and for the cops you hear bad things about, there are thousands of others that will never make news headlines because they're good. Cops are not inherently bad, there are some bad cops. Just like there are bad doctors, teachers, etc...
Sean Carney So if the good cops roll by, throw a peace sign and tell them have a good night. Sound familiar? Ringing any bells?
Theyre not picking on all cops... I think you're missing the point of the song.
Have you never payed attention to the messages in their music? I'm surprised to see so many people that think this is something new. Go check out non-dairy creamer
This song is awful. This band went from one of my favorite bands to a joke. 3eb, what happened to you?
Listen to non dairy creamer holy shit that's a horrid song
I actually love non dairy creamer
Yeah, they should stick to making music like they used to, not trying to be trending on Twitter
+krazy16dude Yeah this is pretty pathetic. And sticking up for a little bitch who didn't wanna respect and listen to teachers and adults....She was gonna just sit her stupid ass at her desk and not stop playing on her phone in class mind you then the evil "Mr slam" comes in and has to deal with her disrespectful ass. TEB is a joke.
I love motorcycle drive by
This song is garbage, and I'm left leaning. Seriously, listen to The Background and then listen to this song.
