"Inspired by a true story they heard on the podcast This American Life, TWIABP wrote this song as a tribute to a female vigilante from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. In 2013, this killer hunted bus drivers in retribution for women who had been murdered travelling alone on public buses. In letters claiming responsibility for the killings, she called herself “Diana, the hunter of drivers”. Diana was the Roman goddess of hunting, childbirth and the moon, and the song contains plenty of references to her attributes."
I appreciate all the lines.... And now I wish I wasn't male...but I am. I will do right... I want my daughter and my mom to live for this.... But I am evils shadow.. I scare all my loves away... This song tho... I love her.... Stfu
Played this song for my buddy a couple years back, all drunk & high letting the music wash over me. I picked up my phone & coincidentally the date was January 10th, my friend left for Australia later. Haven't seen him in a while but this and a couple other songs always remind me of him. Much Love bro.
Ease the babies out of their wombs Make your hair blonde, hop on the number four Do you become the driver when they drop you off? I'll become the driver You don’t take their money, ripping out their roots They found two heads hollowed out In the sanctuary or on the dry roadside This is a duel and she won Congratulate her, send her thanks "How great that someone's doing What many of us should have done" Put up a statue of the new killer Out of chains in the waxing moon Do you see my shadow off the stake? Are you Diana, the Hunter? Are you Diana, the Hunter? Are you afraid of me now? Well, yeah. Shouldn’t I be? But don’t you quiver I am an instrument I am revenge I am several women Follow the arrow from behind the line Moving forward, the night begins We are brave and strong, but you don’t quiver Let’s write this down together Our hands on the same weapon Make evil afraid of evil’s shadow Make evil afraid of evil’s shadow Make evil afraid of evil’s shadow
When you're hitchhiking ALWAYS trust your instincts, check for child locks before you close to door, text someone the rides licence plate number and the direction you're going on what road, do not fall asleep, do not accept any opened containers, do not let them go on any detours and immediately ask to get out if you ever feel truly unsafe. The first part of this video made me sick to my stomach. It's such a tragic reality that monsters like these are out there. Always be alert and put your safety before literally everything else.
Why is the onus always on the would-be victims to prevent themselves from being victimized? In the process of doing so, life just becomes very dreary. How about instead addressing the root issues in the prevailing culture causing these problems to occur? Not saying a perfect society is possible, but it is possible to achieve a culture where these type of issues are very, very rare occurrences.
Heard about this video through an online Pagan periodical. Powerful imagery and stunningly moving. Raw take on an already interesting story. The deep hungers of women, and the victimization of women, are touched on strongly here. I'm glad to have the honour to have watched this.
Feral Kat I wish you hadn't written that. I did pay attention to the video aftr that and it seems they're trying to cater to the popular male aggressor/ female victim image.
bakkermaarten007 You realize that "the popular male aggressor/ female victim image" is not just an "image"? It's a reality- a terrifying constant reality. There's no catering to reality.This is a mythos-based fantasy, showing women as an interpretation of the goddess Diana, as influenced by imagery from modern Dianic paganism. It shows past and now current victims of this male attacker seeking retribution. Male violence against women is real. This video's imagery illustrates the rage and fear in women because of living in a world in which women are not safe. If you are taking the video as a message that all men commit these crimes, you don't get it. If you are taking this video an endorsement of retribution towards men through violence, you don't get it. "Wish I hadn't written that"? I wish violence against women wasn't so historically constant and insidious that such imagery didn't even have to occur to anyone. But for those of us who do have that rage, that fear, and an appreciation for the artistry of it being expressed, a video like this speaks volumes.
I think you're missing my point dear feral kat. I want violence against women to stop, just as much as you do (or maybe a tad little because I'm not as likely to be assaulted, but that's natural). However, the tools by which I strongly differ from modern day feminists. Who have- time and time again- shown that they have a double agenda; threats towards journalists who don't portray the women as victims, physical abuse of men who question the near-fascistic way feminists tell other women to behave, neglecting boy's needs because they behave- gosh- like boys, etc... I think modern day feminism has created an image that opposes men to women and women to men. I can feel it everywhere all around me: the sexes are suspicious of one another! Females 'need' to be the empowered, strong independent women who can handle everything themselves and males need to be always and everywhere supportive of their spouses, be ever so chivalrous but not too much because that would be 'sexist' right. A culture is growing in which females are entitled to everything, yet not all women want to be entitled to everything. There's some burdens they'd rather leave to males. And males always need to question if they are being supportive enough and recognizing that they have it sooooo much easier than females (really not, it's just different). Maybe the purpose of this video wasn't akin to the ways of contemporary feminists, but it surely looks like that. On a sidenote; violence against women can be reduced, as can violence against men. I think our current societal spirit (fairly non-existent) is much to blame for intersexual violence and according to what I've said earlier I believe contemporary (not earlier waves) feminism is partially to blame for escalated violence, for polarizing men and women. Although violence against women will never compltely cease to exist. It's just that males are mostly physically stronger and that helps the vile minds to pursue their wicked ways. If the roles were reverzed, it's likely that males would be more physically abused by females than it's right now. Atleast according to this National Geaographic study which disproves the idea of the male as more likely to be a sexual offender: news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/10/131007-sexual-violence-rape-teenagers-sociology/ Take care
bakkermaarten007 To be blunt, your views as a whole suffer multiple issues, with some of them being outdated to some of them being highly misinformed. Overall they're offensive. I truly hope at some point you educate yourself properly on these issues, for the sake of others. I, however, am certainly not someone who is going to try to deconstruct the mess you just shared, let alone in youtube comments. To be clear, I wanted to leave a comment on this video thanking those involved in making it. I understand that leaves me open to comments from others, but I'm stopping this interaction, from my end. Nothing helpful will come from it. Any further comments from you will be ignored. I hope you can be mature enough to refrain.
Feral Kat "hope you can be mature enough to refrain" I have not offended you in any way in my comment. In fact, I believe it to be quite constructive whereas you choose to be passive aggressive. In no way is defending my line of thinking a sign of immaturity. However, just being blunt like you just did is. A true-hearted person doesn't find it difficult at all to defend what he or she believes in. In some way, you attested to my theory of opposing men and women. I hope sincerely you atleast question the ways that seem so easy to take for granted. I once did and I'm here now. Take care
Someone's already done that for me. "Inspired by a true story they heard on the podcast This American Life, TWIABP wrote this song as a tribute to a female vigilante from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.

I love this song, i've listened to it hundreds of times and in many ways it's kind of a go to for when I just don't know what to listen to. I guess I listened to it one too many times. At 3:03, "Are you afraid of me now?" The "Now" either has a really bad splice of two different vocal takes or shoddy use of autotune. I can't unhear it and it drives me insane now.

CAN WE TAKE A SECOND TO APPRECIATE HOW RIDICULOUSLY GOOD THE DRUMS ARE ON THIS!?!?
Yesssss!!
CAN WE TAKE A SECOND TO
the halftime breaks are amazing still after 7 years of hearing this song
Take a fucking hour instead. So much talent
take a fucking day instead.

MxHC Music Promotions Thanks, I would have never figured this out.
MxHC Music Promotions Wow I was about to say I don't get the music video, thanks!
Wow, I instantly thought of that story when I heard the song for the first time.
+MxHC Music Promotions Right on dude! Thank you for clarifying.
They wrote the song as tribute to a murderer? thats some balls i admit.
the whole i am revenge, i am several women line just gives me chills
love this song
"Make evil afraid of evil's shadow" thats brilliant af. Just learned about this from reignbot's video.
which video?
@@imosyon id like to know too
bro
I appreciate all the lines.... And now I wish I wasn't male...but I am. I will do right...
I want my daughter and my mom to live for this.... But I am evils shadow.. I scare all my loves away... This song tho... I love her.... Stfu

Genuinely one of the most stunning songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to, an absolute masterpiece.
Their sound is just sooo amazing

Ease the babies out of their wombs
Make your hair blonde, hop on the number four
Do you become the driver when they drop you off?
I'll become the driver
You don’t take their money, ripping out their roots
They found two heads hollowed out
In the sanctuary or on the dry roadside
This is a duel and she won
Congratulate her, send her thanks
"How great that someone's doing
What many of us should have done"
Put up a statue of the new killer
Out of chains in the waxing moon
Do you see my shadow off the stake?
Are you Diana, the Hunter?
Are you Diana, the Hunter?
Are you afraid of me now?
Well, yeah. Shouldn’t I be?
But don’t you quiver
I am an instrument
I am revenge
I am several women
Follow the arrow from behind the line
Moving forward, the night begins
We are brave and strong, but you don’t quiver
Let’s write this down together
Our hands on the same weapon
Make evil afraid of evil’s shadow
Make evil afraid of evil’s shadow
Make evil afraid of evil’s shadow
a true - and truly devastating - story, and a piece of graphic, pyrotechnic, searing art.

This makes my list for all-time well-crafted songs
Just solidifying why these guys are one of the best bands around
How great that someone’s doing what many of us should’ve done
The drumming in this song AM I RIGHT 😍🙌🏼🥁 And everything else too of course ❤️🙌🏼
This video just gets me. God, that's powerful.
oh the drums. love
I'm upset that I didn't come up with this band name.
+Patrick Hogan super generic tbh
Grisu69 For example?
Yeah you didn't lose much.
It's a beautiful sentiment, regardless.
This song has been on repeat in my car for days. So beautiful.
Shelby K the story behind this song or the reason this song was made is actually pretty sad though. But I agree this song is fucking cool
best band on epitaph right now, them and pianos.
phil d Alkaline Trio and Bad Religion easily top both of them.
HaremofScorpions
meh... old stuff. not that its a competition, but they're not competitive anymore
phil d
They still put out new stuff that is consistently good.
HaremofScorpions
well, i disagree...
+phil d Have you heard "Desaparecidos" new or old stuff?
you should, they are really good. (my opinion)
Outstanding track. My fave from the album. Ridiculously good drum production, I love it
this song is so empowering to women i love it so much thanks twiabp
Happy January 10th, 2024 to this beautiful song
Make evil afraid of evil's shadow

I completely forgot about this band for like a year. They're just as amazing as I remember though.
The lyrics though... Jaw Dropping in a world so blind
literally the most cringe lyrics i’ve ever seen
This is a masterpiece, I'm blown away every time I watch this
I love the style change. Harmlessness may out-do Whenever, If Ever and that is a tough one to out-do. Congrats, guys!

How did i get here? I was watching a make up tutorial vid....and I suddenly found this...I GUESS IT WAS WORTH WATCHING FOR! I love it
happy 10th annivesary of the song title!

Literally one of the best outros to any f****** song ever
The video suits the song really Well
I don't know why but this is my favorite song to listen to when I'm going through a heartbreak.
Why? Do you even know what this is about?
@blinkskateboarding Explain what it's about then

Well the beautiful thing about music is that it can have different meanings for different people.
Do I actually hear a progressive sludge riff in the middle of a midwest emo song? Fucking crazy. I love TWIABP so much.
I think they are from Connecticut
@@og_steiney midwest emo is a genre, he's not saying that they're from the midwest
@@og_steiney they absolutely are, which is obviously on the east coast.
@@og_steineynice joke
Just amazing. Most beautiful thing I've heard all year
