that first “fallen from grace because i’ve been away too long” never fails to send a shiver down my spine. it just sounds so perfect. this song is so underrated.
Man that vocal line so amazing, effortless sounding. Sometimes it takes me a week to find a nice vocal melody. Well said....I still almost cry when I hear it.😬🤘🤘
This entire album helped me cope with my great grandmas passing. She was the rock of the entire family for all of those generations and it kind of fell apart after she departed. I was already listening to this album at the time when I first discovered it but she passed shortly after. The concepts on this entire album are amazing. Stuck with me ever since and very formative to my younger existence.
damn, and you did it by yourself bro, this albums just reminds you all the fights that you have won, hope you do even better in the future man! keep going
Sorry to hear your loss. That's how it was with us as well, grandmother and my Mother both passed when we were early teens. Was always so family oriented and it just slowly fell apart over the next few years, has never been the same going on 22 years later
I hear you....I'm about to go through a similar situation with my mom's mom, (the "glue" and my favorite ppl on Earth) gonna be twice as hard to climb back afterwards cause she'll be gone....raised and adores me and knows it's gonna hit me like a lightning strike....not looking forward to any of that, but I shant be alone....
Brann, the drummer, had a big impact on the Crack the Skye album since the whole idea really revolved around the suicide of his 11 year old sister. I considered this their more emotionally attuned album. Some song meanings vary but it's all about Brann's sister essentially. Very sad, very powerful. Get chills every time listening to this album
This is the first song that introduced me to Mastodon. I got hooked right away and I'll admit, this is arguably one of the best of today's metal scene. Mastodon and Gojira have helped me throughout my college years and I'll never forget when I went to see Mastodon in concert here in Hawaii, all I wanted to hear was Oblivion and Blood and thunder. Best night ever!
Holy shit man they went to Blaisdell center? That's nuts, I remember when tool went there in 2006 but I was too young to go lol. I see you have the kaneohe zip code in your RUclips name.
@@Kallogee they got better even tho it isn't on the level that it is on the records. They used to be real bad, but i think they are good enough now that they don't take me out of the song live.
Honestly, as far as choruses go this is possibly one of the most beautiful ones ever written. Right up there with rose by a perfect circle and jars by chevelle. Even better maybe.
Legit this was the first song I ever heard by them, the chorus totally had me hooked on wanting to hear more by them, I just love how they structure their songs, very atmospheric in a way
"I tried to burrow a hole into the ground. Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hands. The eyes of a child see no wrong. Ignorant bliss, impending doom" I cant stop listening to this song... Recently lost a lot of people in my life and this song sums it up pretty well.
I was so happy to come back to this song because in earlier days it made me emotional and now it didn't anymore... until I read your comment -_- Not hating, btw, only an anecdote C:
Ohmygod you're going to be in Grand Rapids?! I moved here in 2003 and was living here (still live here) when I met my husband, a beautiful, golden human being and metalhead who bore resemblance to Brann. (Aric always, also, wished to play drums. Instead he played a bit of bass.) He introduced me to so much amazing music including Mastedon. This was one of his favorite songs. Ours is a soul-based love that has endured the six years since his death, and will sustain me my life long. When I want to be closer to Aric, I can hug his pillow, wear his hoodie, or boot up one of his beloved metal tracks. Like this one. Thank you.
Metlson I wouldn't say progressively less, I would say he did some backing vocals on Remission and sings the chorus on Blood and Thunder....aaaaand that's it
yeah i should correct myself on that. I meant i like that several members of the band sing together and not just one. It adds character to the music and band.
Honestly, I could never get into these guys, it took me 16 years to realize what theyre doing. Most songs since the beginning of time are about love, politics, orother happenings; now mastodon comes along and uses music to tell stories, about random myths and legends (and sometime real stories). It's refreshing. Long live the mighty MASTODON.
I almost cried when I've found out the meaning of the lyrics and read them again. Specially the Troy Sanders verse (Lost love...). Specially the part that shows Brann's guilt feeling about her sister. This song is so sad, but it's also so special...
I don't think mastodon had any idea how awesome this song was going to be when they started writing it, it is arguably one of the greatest metal songs ever written
@@henrydevries8466 check this live version: ruclips.net/video/5UqfM_MDaEw/видео.html I won't say it's perfect, but still Brann does a decent vocal on this one...
I remember the TV being on in the background one time while I was working at home and then this came on. And then I realized I wasn't working anymore. Just staring at the TV because this song was so, so good. And that's what started my journey into discovering and loving Mastodon. They've been my go to work music for six years now. :)
7 years later just to say this is exactly how I discovered them, except just a snippet of the intro during an adult swim ad talking about them going on tour with dethklok i think it was. Legit haven’t stopped listening since
Even if you don't like this type of music, you have to recognize the talent these guys have. Mastodon is one of my favorite bands. Their live shows are quality, and they are brilliant musicians. Thank you for the great tunes!
And what even happens rhythmically at like 3:40-4:05?! I've heard the song so many times and can't really figure it out (though I haven't rewound it over and over and really tried to get it).
Sly Shippy The solo is in 6/8. The transition you're talking about is where they play in half-time and Brann stutters the beat. After, the song goes full-time again to end the solo
Just recently learned the concept for this album. Oblivion takes on an entirely new meaning for me. This song was already wildly personal for me. Sorry for your loss.
What a band! What a song! Was lucky enough to see these guys on the Crack The Skye tour, were they played the whole album right through as one piece. Mind-blowing and unforgettable.
This song used to play on loop downloaded back on my first 360 playing Dead Space. It became like an unofficial theme song for the game for me and to this day I still love it. Looking forward to playing the Dead Space remake while blasting this.
@@aslidemirkol My good friend played these guys for me sometime ago. I got on this morning and SOUGHT after these guys and their music. Best time I've ever spent air drumming in bed!
I flew beyond the sun before it was time Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell Waiting for you to pull me back in I almost had the world in my sight Lost love, bright eyes fading Faster than stars falling How can I tell you that I've failed? Tell you I failed Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion I tried to burrow a hole into the ground Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand The eyes of a child see no wrong Ignorant bliss, impending doom Lost love, bright eyes fading Faster than stars falling How can I tell you that I've failed? Tell you I failed Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long Leaving you behind with my lonesome song Now I'm lost in oblivion, in oblivion, in oblivion
To me, before I even knew what this album was about and before I saw the music video, it always made me feel like I was in space and it had a very original vibe and groove. It's hard to describe but it shows you how masterful Mastodon is at creating an environment and theme and placing you right in the center of it.
I am sorry to hear this. I don't know what my future beholds. I am stuck in mud. I don't do drugs. I don't have any addictions yet I just have these strange physical sensitivities that have kept me stuck the last 10 years almost. I know I am unique given the circumstances but there is always the fear of facing your worst fears in the subconscious. It wasn't easy for your fiance to make that choice and scarily enough she knows all our fate now...
@@Penland1234 never give up the battle of the mind we are our own wors enemy and when we realize that our subconscious is working against us only then can we fight back with confidence and a new word respective I've attempted suicide twice the second time was when I gained an understanding of death and the selfishness of taking your own life and I will never try again and I can talk to anyone considering it I will and I hope I can convince them to reconsider
It's sad I am bipolar everyday it's so hard, even when it's ok. It's like I am not identify this body like something real. This band it's so perfect, give me head when I am so sad. The world without musicians it would be less world.
I always love how the instruments combine to let me hear and feel that journey into numb anxiety, anger and finally a shutdown of emotions for a brief exhausted silence. I can feel all the nuance of this section of depression through the instruments and at the same time the lyrics articulate it beautifully. After all that time spent struggling to explain that whirlpool of emotions, hoping some day someone listens to the struggle, Mastodon bring in the entire band on the same message and that's cathartic to me.
The LORD and His phenomena the only thing worth living for. Praise God for His mercies that renew every morning.... For those who are redeemable. The lies from the enemy are beautiful in our midst but the mind guirded up in Him will arrive into life everlasting. Bless you. Your work has blessed me again and again and again and again......... And the irony of oblivion..... Is that it's exactly where He wants us... All of Him and none of me.....
One day when I was playing RPG with my friends, I put this song repeating over 1 hour until someone understand what was happening...hahaha. Now when happens something bad with one of us, we say FALL FROM GRAAAACE hahahah Hugs from Brazil!
I need to find that Rolling Stone article about Crack the Skye. I see so much that was described there here, how the drummer was so innocent because he was 12 and didn't understand what happened to his sister. God, the pain is so tangible. The end of the song is perfect, because the last sane man realizes all his friends are dead, he's the last one left. That is true oblivion, being the only one left to witness your pain.
I don't think you could ever call Mastadon stoner rock man....it's heavy as fuck and some of their songs have got that bluesy riffage going on. Metal aint it? You guys should check out Orange Goblin if you like this song...check out their latest album 'Eulogy for the Damned'..they started as a straight up stoner rock band, but now its fully fledged metal with insane heavy rifs...so maybe your right..I donnow...
+Jaden Grattan I wouldn't classify Mastodon as stoner rock (Kyuss for the win!), but this song definitely leans toward that side of metal. It just lacks the sludgy, doomy sounds of pure stoner rock.
Im An Ol School Prog Rocker.. MASTODON fits in With the Prog Rockers ... all the different time progressions and different tunings this band is second to none and I've been following them since Leviathan and I saw them on That Tour ...... LOVE MY MASTODON !!!
I met Bill Kelliher in the crowd at a festival in the UK watching Alice in chains. He was just chilling and i recognized him and he asked if he could drink some of my cider so i said "Yeah sure" and he drank well over half of my pint of cider. That shit's expensive at festivals man.
Every time I listen the Brent Hinds' solo @ 2:58, I can't help but ask, "Why isn't Space Metal a a thing?", because thats one of the best examples of it i've ever heard.
i remember first hearing this song when it dropped on adultswim. something about it just clicked with me and i fell in love with it. i don’t listen to it as much anymore, but i always find a couple times per year to go crazy to it. 😂
He came into the restaurant I was working at while he was doing his residency on the Seth Meyers Show. Easily the most down to earth and accessible rock star I’ve met.

They are the Alice in chains of this generation.
My older brother Thor introduced me to Gojira, Mastodon, And Between the Buried and me all in the same night. Forever changed my music taste.
It was Blood and Thunder for me, from NFS Underground (2?), but this one is by far my fav.
Get to see Gojira and mastodon this September. Fiddler’s greens. It seems forever away.
I love how the song is sung by 3 distinct singers. Makes Oblivion even more awesome.
_Oh-bla-vee, Oh-bla-vaa, Oh-blav-VIIIION_
_Life goes on, Brann_

I am sorry to hear this. I don't know what my future beholds. I am stuck in mud. I don't do drugs. I don't have any addictions yet I just have these strange physical sensitivities that have kept me stuck the last 10 years almost. I know I am unique given the circumstances but there is always the fear of facing your worst fears in the subconscious. It wasn't easy for your fiance to make that choice and scarily enough she knows all our fate now...
@@Penland1234 never give up the battle of the mind we are our own wors enemy and when we realize that our subconscious is working against us only then can we fight back with confidence and a new word respective I've attempted suicide twice the second time was when I gained an understanding of death and the selfishness of taking your own life and I will never try again and I can talk to anyone considering it I will and I hope I can convince them to reconsider
You’re a damned good person
Keep it up king
It's sad I am bipolar everyday it's so hard, even when it's ok. It's like I am not identify this body like something real. This band it's so perfect, give me head when I am so sad. The world without musicians it would be less world.
I always love how the instruments combine to let me hear and feel that journey into numb anxiety, anger and finally a shutdown of emotions for a brief exhausted silence. I can feel all the nuance of this section of depression through the instruments and at the same time the lyrics articulate it beautifully.
After all that time spent struggling to explain that whirlpool of emotions, hoping some day someone listens to the struggle, Mastodon bring in the entire band on the same message and that's cathartic to me.
one of the best music videos ever made by one of the best metal best ever by one of the best music video directors ever
First song I ever listen of Mastodon! The riffs and vocals from 0:30 to 0:50 simply blew my mind!!
Love the chorus on this one
One of the greatest songs of all time. 3 lead singers! complex key changes. Cmon.
My heart gets ripped out every time.
One of the best metal songs to ever exist
This song is beautiful
The LORD and His phenomena the only thing worth living for. Praise God for His mercies that renew every morning.... For those who are redeemable. The lies from the enemy are beautiful in our midst but the mind guirded up in Him will arrive into life everlasting. Bless you. Your work has blessed me again and again and again and again......... And the irony of oblivion..... Is that it's exactly where He wants us... All of Him and none of me.....
I'm so glad I've been with Mastodon since the first EP. Absolute legends, masterful musicians!
God damn masterpiece of a song. Still gives me chills.
Crack The Skye is a masterpiece. I love this song.
I used to play this all the time when driving my kids to school and my son loved this one.
This album changed me......hit me when it needed to in life, masterpiece....
the last time they play the chorus is fucking amazing
Crack the skye is possibly one of the greatest things ever recorded
One day when I was playing RPG with my friends, I put this song repeating over 1 hour until someone understand what was happening...hahaha.
Now when happens something bad with one of us, we say FALL FROM GRAAAACE hahahah
Hugs from Brazil!
Same i was listening this song while playing wow
+Lucas Loretti Muito Bom!!!!!
I need to find that Rolling Stone article about Crack the Skye. I see so much that was described there here, how the drummer was so innocent because he was 12 and didn't understand what happened to his sister. God, the pain is so tangible.
The end of the song is perfect, because the last sane man realizes all his friends are dead, he's the last one left. That is true oblivion, being the only one left to witness your pain.
2:28 DAVID GREY “Sail away with me honey” I hear it. Influence. Nice work.
These guys are insane why it took me so long to find them I've no idea but i owe it to my mate doberman!!! Absolute quality
this was the soundtrack of my spiritual voyage into the void that is reality.
Hello, Scott Kelly.
RIP to the sister this song was written about
Is it? I know Crack The Skye is about erm...Skye
@@SrDeMaFp skye is drummer’s sister name
Wait huh
What happened?
@@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385 suicide
I love the way he says oblivion
Uhbliviawwwn
Oblivieaun
I love YOU
The "fallen from grace" never fails to give me the chills.
it's so damn spacey and dreamy.
nickelback chorus
Loveeee this!!! Remember getting into Mastodon in high school....still one of my favorite bands:)
This is refreshing to read.
one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. I actually get high from playing it.
True stoner rock at its finest.
I don't think you could ever call Mastadon stoner rock man....it's heavy as fuck and some of their songs have got that bluesy riffage going on. Metal aint it? You guys should check out Orange Goblin if you like this song...check out their latest album 'Eulogy for the Damned'..they started as a straight up stoner rock band, but now its fully fledged metal with insane heavy rifs...so maybe your right..I donnow...
+Jaden Grattan I wouldn't classify Mastodon as stoner rock (Kyuss for the win!), but this song definitely leans toward that side of metal. It just lacks the sludgy, doomy sounds of pure stoner rock.
"Falling from grace cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion"
Still gives me chills.
Im An Ol School Prog Rocker.. MASTODON fits in With the Prog Rockers ... all the different time progressions and different tunings this band is second to none and I've been following them since Leviathan and I saw them on That Tour ...... LOVE MY MASTODON !!!
I wish that nice riff at 3:55 was longer.
If I ever find out that the end of the world is imminent, the first thing I will do is play this song.
Dude I feel ya haha
Time to play it.
I'm playing this every day rn
2020 lol
Time to play it, bro. I'm with you
I met Bill Kelliher in the crowd at a festival in the UK watching Alice in chains. He was just chilling and i recognized him and he asked if he could drink some of my cider so i said "Yeah sure" and he drank well over half of my pint of cider. That shit's expensive at festivals man.
That's the price you pay for hanging with Bill man.
Every time I listen the Brent Hinds' solo @ 2:58, I can't help but ask, "Why isn't Space Metal a a thing?", because thats one of the best examples of it i've ever heard.
something so great in a breath of fresh air
i remember first hearing this song when it dropped on adultswim. something about it just clicked with me and i fell in love with it. i don’t listen to it as much anymore, but i always find a couple times per year to go crazy to it. 😂
You should listen to the whole album, its nuts how good it is
I like Mastodon's more melodic stuff. Also, I met Brann once at a local club here when his wife's band (Tiger! Tiger!) was playing. Cool fucking guy.
He came into the restaurant I was working at while he was doing his residency on the Seth Meyers Show. Easily the most down to earth and accessible rock star I’ve met.
Me and my youngest got a pic with him while Primus was playing. Super cool dude!!
Yooo thas awesome
Brand new mastodon fan can you please give me a list of their melodic slower stuff . I really love the sparrow and pendulum
some years ago I thought the music was over.. then, was published crack the skye.. finally light!!
Still listening to this in 2024!:)❤
❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤
I can't stop listening...
Such a unique blend of prog, stoner, and alt metal
One of the best songs ever. The chorus lingers in your head and makes you smile
How can I tell you I failed? Tell you I failed..
That part always gets me.
They shortened the intro :(
I remember first hearing this on an Adult Swim promo for when Dethklok and Mastodon were both going on tour.
Yup! That's the first time I heard a Mastodon song
+BrotherNumber3 oh my god the went on tour with Dethklok?! That makes me very happy :3
Eryn Lindemann Yeah around late 2009
That show was soooo good! Got 'em here in utah, was freaking amazing. When Colony of Birchmen came on I literally jumped with joy.
Seen them both in concert when they where in Chicago it was awesome
