This song hits me hard. Dealing with anger issues and depression after getting out of the military, I finally found someone who was patient with me. Through all of my outbursts and meltdowns, she made sure I got the help I needed. "I'm angry and I know that's weak", it hits me hard. I know it's weak, and Im just glad I found someone to be patient with me. Thank you Alyssa.
that's why their live shows sell out so quickly, not only do they rearrange songs live but they sound more full, organic, euphoric, and technical live, there's this confidence that unlocks in them with their repeated nightly playing and the songs start to take on new life, audiotree performance is perfect example of this
Truly a unique thing to see on the internet. Some times my favorite bands sound fantastic live but a video of that same live session does not do it justice. Pinegrove, though, mind-blowing. Seeing them in DC in September!
Skylight puts me in a meditative state. One of the things I tell myself when I have overwhelming feelings or anxiety is that my thoughts are just thoughts. Nothing more. When Evan says "Whatever you're feeling is natural" it makes me feel at peace. I know that I am human and it's okay to feel feelings, I wouldn't be human if I didn't have them.
@@zacharias426 - Agreed. Fuck that pseudo therapist for exploiting confident information to bolster her own practice. I hope all the success in the world for Evan and his band mates.
I finally started to take steps to make my life better after having essentially giving up for the past 5 years, but it comes with its own problems. Like remembering why I had given up in the first place, and re living the pain that I had already been through. This song "Darkness" perfectly describes what is happening in my mind right now. I guess I have just been pretending to be happier, and the Darkness has definitely taken over. Beautiful song
Saw them last night...tucked in t-shirt and high water pants. Good thing...there was a flash flash warning in Madison. Venue was packed and great sound. Love this band...so great to hear all the lyrics.
I cannot stress enough how much I love Pinegrove's song writing. Such beauty in the flow of their lyrics and music. It invokes such emotion and transparency
Something about this video is magical. Maybe it's the fact that these are two lesser-played Pinegrove songs, maybe it's the soft lighting, maybe it's Evan's sweater... whatever it is, it makes me click on this video every time it pops up.
I had to put my dog down yesterday and this song hits so hard in the best way. I know it’s a bit out of context but it has given me a lot of comfort and acceptance with the grief I have felt the past few days. Thank you for the beautiful music.
Actually that's not true, Evan talked to me for an hour when I was an 18 year old nobody who had just moved to a new city and the person I went to the party with abandoned me
Suddenly I find I've got darkness on my mind It's a question mark that keeps me looking And it's never satisfied And it's never what I thought Saying I'm happy when I'm not No, I got darkness on my mind Leaning out the frame When it's particulate and gray I'm perpendicular to my whole being When I lean a certain way Saying I'm happy when I'm not Finding roaches in the pot Oh, I got darkness on my mind Some people spend their whole lives looking For someone who could understand While meanwhile a lilac blooming Sometimes on the driest land And I know it's been a long time coming And I'm angry and I know that's weak And I'm longing out that open window For whatever it is I seek Some people spend their whole lives looking For someone who could understand And while meanwhile a lilac blooming Sometimes on the driest land And I know it's been a long time coming I'm angry and I know that's weak So I'm trying not to be so bitter I'm just looking at it honestly Well, I know it's been a long time coming I'm angry and I know that's weak And I'm longing out that open window For whatever it is I seek Some people spend their whole lives looking For someone who could understand While meanwhile a lilac blooming Sometimes on the driest land, yeah I move through shadow I go they go wherever Don't they come in Whenever I let em I climb through the skylight Whatever you're feeling is all right Let you let go Whatever you're feeling is natural Low light at dawn I'll love that song forever It's a shadow Let me know me better I climb through the skylight Whatever you're feeling is all right Let me let go Whatever you're feeling is natural Whatever you're…
this sounds so real and so much different than the recorded songs but in the best way. i’m so glad i got to see them live, it all sounds so fucking beautiful and intricate!!!! ah
I was looking for a song called "Low light at dawn" to no avail. I actually asked Evan in person what song he was referring to. I don't believe he was referring to a song, think that was a separate thought based on his answer. I got to see him play in a tiny record shop in CT. Was such a great experience.
Dude these songs got me fucked up. An awesome girl in my life introduced me to these guys, but I had to end things with her for reasons and now I’m sitting here crying like a baby. BUT WHATEVER IM FEELING IS NATURAL 😂
Nah, that was p much the worst way the band could've handled things, splitting the fanbase, delaying their artistry, losing adan and nandi, obfuscating everything, and making it harder for that punktalks lady to get her comeuppance*. still glad they're back, but no use denying that there definitely could've been a better way to handle things
@@theactorjohnlarroquette side of history?? Idk what you mean by that. But noted: comeuppance was the wrong word, with regards to that I meant more like legal retribution, focus, and more timely publicity and consequences for a woman who presented herself as a trusted emotional and therapeutical confidante when in fact she wasn't even remotely trained to be either of those things, not to mention her outright intention to "take down" bands using confidential information without the consent of the victim/'s involved
@@theactorjohnlarroquette but going back to the original point, I love pinegrove, and peoples' opinions on the morality+intentions behind evan/pg's choice are their own, esh's said as much in his post. However, as far as observable, measurable consequences go, the band could've come out stronger for sure, even if that stuff doesn't matter/as much to them. Evan being the first to break the news did allow him to create the conversation on his own terms, but the consequence was that people felt he was taking ground away from the victim in an attempt to overtly influence the dialogue surrounding the incident. Also the post was hella ambiguous and didn't actually answer much, making it arguably as bad a PR move compared to nearly any hypothetical news that might have come out. Getting dropped from rfc may not have been avoidable (some internal stuff iirc?), and money might not be an issue for pg themselves. but all this plus the sudden break from touring+media+music meant that this incredible wave that was just beginning to crest off cardinal+p4kfest, and in anticipation from skylight, was just stopped dead in its tracks. Skylight was a notable outright omission from many publications' aoty list, you couldn't talk about them online, wear their merch @local scenes, or anywhere, and there was nothing from the band to give anyone any hope or closure. Even that p4k article got bashed for a line about skylights delayed release date. Some people supported this self imposed retribution, others saw it as validating their worst assumptions, the most extreme ran with the cancel culture stuff. Now, where Pinegrove succeed, and probably what matters most to anyone here, are the intangibles, the unmeasurables. It's what allow them to keep selling out shows and making great art, and what kept (im assuming)us fans able to reflect, forgive (in varying degrees) and persevere because of what all this means to everyone. Evan+pg's surely needed a break as well with all this going on in the background so if that's what it took to get their heads sorted and all parties in agreement it's already worth it.
hiro progatonist well put, put ngl their name is kinda smeared now. I can’t look at Evan the same which is really sad. Cause no side wants to exactly explain what happened

You're good dude, thanks may not be enough, but thank you
And thank you, Alyssa.
thanks for your service dude.
I find it incredible how each time they make a live session or whatever, the songs hits in a whole new way than on the records.
this!!

@@amenmane this little 9 minute video is helping me through a rough stretch too. Feelin lots of love for you.
Truth
“I’m angry and I know that’s weak” is truly a genius lyric
😩😭 resonated so insanely deep
Can’t help tearing up listening to darkness, such a beautiful song
“Saying I’m happy when I’m not.” I felt that.
*whatever you’re feeling is natural*
this line makes me so EMOTIONAL
"low light at dawn, I'll love that song forever" also
Fucking tears!!
Pinegrove are so precise with their sound, it's always near-pristine how each part is performed. So damn good at what they do.
Skylight puts me in a meditative state. One of the things I tell myself when I have overwhelming feelings or anxiety is that my thoughts are just thoughts. Nothing more. When Evan says "Whatever you're feeling is natural" it makes me feel at peace. I know that I am human and it's okay to feel feelings, I wouldn't be human if I didn't have them.
FUCK they're so good. Drummer needs some more love tho, the way he fills while keeping the shaker going is unreal.
his playing is swag out the ass
As a drummer myself he's a huge inspiration! Insanely creative!
Not to mention holdin down those harmonies!
Dude slays!!!
the drummer is incredibly talented he knows his place, he has great sense of feel in his playing.
Drummer holding down the fort over there. Singer, shaker, and set.
What I would give to have a drummer like him. Best song drummer of my generation, hands down.
These two songs would be meaningful at a funeral.
Darkness has always been their tastiest song. can't get enough of Pinegrove's musicianship.
Always?
aphasia or old friends
Evan was meant to play live. Not to discredit the band, they're all great. This performance is awesome. Hope they tour soon!
as i was watching this i was thinking how evan is supposed to be doing this and how sad it was almost taken away
@@zacharias426 - Agreed. Fuck that pseudo therapist for exploiting confident information to bolster her own practice. I hope all the success in the world for Evan and his band mates.
Pinegrove is best.
from Japan fan
"I was totally nervous to go to Japannn" (sorry I couldn't resist)
empty sky
😨😨😨
painogurobeu
That drummer is absolute next level. 💖
Skylight is my go to when I'm having a rough/bad trip
Helps me take a few deep breaths and let it pass.
Love these guys
Immunity by Jon Hopkins for me
@@Em-gj2sg I'll have to check it out!
@@shanehubbard649 Tell me what you think :)
I love how musicians smile when they finish a live song that they know they've smashed. And they smashed that.

Beautiful song
how has it been after 6 months? that's such a difficult thing to do, but i hope you feel proud of yourself in some way
Wow , this first song is absolutely incredible.
A real tear jerker
this is a sweet recording. whoever mixed this is very valid
sam mixed this. he mixes the records too :)
@Jeremiah L. Fernandez Fernandez sam skinner, their guitarist :)
I know this is late but Seth Engel who recorded and mastered this session is amazing. Check out his band "Options"
Amazing these songs remind me of my mom who just passed I think she would’ve liked them
Saw them last night...tucked in t-shirt and high water pants. Good thing...there was a flash flash warning in Madison. Venue was packed and great sound. Love this band...so great to hear all the lyrics.
I cannot stress enough how much I love Pinegrove's song writing. Such beauty in the flow of their lyrics and music. It invokes such emotion and transparency
The band's dynamics is really amazing. Shivers when instrumental build up.
this version of skylight is unreal
Wow. This version of Skylight is something else. It’s like I completely rediscovered the song.
*I move away from the mic to breathe in.
I love the Sublime reference from Garden Grove in Darkness
That lyric dragged me into this band. At first listen, i was like "what did they just say!?" and had to listen again. Clever. ;)
What is the reference?
Kellen saying i’m happy when i’m not - finding roaches in the pot
@@josetortos5037 I knew i had fuckin heard that somewhere before. fav sublime song
had to scroll thru comments to see who else noticed.gg
Whatever I'm feeling listening to this now... is supernatural...
This music is healing
So glad they’re back
This is probably my favorite live recording of skylight. So much energy, beauty, finesse. Absolutely divine.
Something about this video is magical. Maybe it's the fact that these are two lesser-played Pinegrove songs, maybe it's the soft lighting, maybe it's Evan's sweater... whatever it is, it makes me click on this video every time it pops up.

Pure greatness. Don't ever stop doin what you're doin. Y'all have no idea what kind of impact your music has. Love it 👏 😉
zack is sending me some extremely strong dad vibes in this one
Chloe when does he not tho haha. Always has been the sweetest one in person
Actually that's not true, Evan talked to me for an hour when I was an 18 year old nobody who had just moved to a new city and the person I went to the party with abandoned me
didnt get to go to any shows this tour, but man this makes up for a lot of that
No way! You guys like Pinegrove? I LOVE the moss!
They even have the Tyke James long sleeve under short sleeve look!
Evan's sweater game too skrong
throw a couple square frames on the side and sell that as new PG merch. I'm in for one for $100.
I have the same sweater and it’s a dope sweater
I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me where you got it.
jackson eudy I got it from Target, like 6 years ago
A great tune from a really good band from my town, Montclair!!!
Suddenly I find
I've got darkness on my mind
It's a question mark that keeps me looking
And it's never satisfied
And it's never what I thought
Saying I'm happy when I'm not
No, I got darkness on my mind
Leaning out the frame
When it's particulate and gray
I'm perpendicular to my whole being
When I lean a certain way
Saying I'm happy when I'm not
Finding roaches in the pot
Oh, I got darkness on my mind
Some people spend their whole lives looking
For someone who could understand
While meanwhile a lilac blooming
Sometimes on the driest land
And I know it's been a long time coming
And I'm angry and I know that's weak
And I'm longing out that open window
For whatever it is I seek
Some people spend their whole lives looking
For someone who could understand
And while meanwhile a lilac blooming
Sometimes on the driest land
And I know it's been a long time coming
I'm angry and I know that's weak
So I'm trying not to be so bitter
I'm just looking at it honestly
Well, I know it's been a long time coming
I'm angry and I know that's weak
And I'm longing out that open window
For whatever it is I seek
Some people spend their whole lives looking
For someone who could understand
While meanwhile a lilac blooming
Sometimes on the driest land, yeah
I move through shadow
I go they go wherever
Don't they come in
Whenever I let em
I climb through the skylight
Whatever you're feeling is all right
Let you let go
Whatever you're feeling is natural
Low light at dawn
I'll love that song forever
It's a shadow
Let me know me better
I climb through the skylight
Whatever you're feeling is all right
Let me let go
Whatever you're feeling is natural
Whatever you're…
30 seconds into this video - already buzzing and stoked to hear skylight based on the other comments. Love this band something fierce
Uhuh! 😉
I have a feeling im gonna be coning back to this for months to come
Just stumbled upon them today. Wonderful artists making beautiful music!
I already influenced 2 persons with their music, I feel so proud haha, more people need to hear the beautiful music they are making!
digging the Another Michael tee
this made my day so much better
Pinegrove is a very, very good band❤
hopefully they keep going - they are so good
Brilliant as always. Thank you for improving my life with this performance.
The part at 2:20 in Darkness always reminds me of that part (about 2 minutes in) in Company Calls by death cab
Whoa mind actually blown.
Word!
yeah buddy
Evan's lyrics are god tier
This band just hits the right spots for me every time.
Back as strong and great as ever. Thanks.
Such beautiful songs and chemistry among these musicians
These guys can write a song!
this sounds so real and so much different than the recorded songs but in the best way. i’m so glad i got to see them live, it all sounds so fucking beautiful and intricate!!!! ah
This is so beautiful. Very blessed to get the listen.
Goosebumps at 7:53
Every
Single
Time
me too
great band, great videographer, great recording space, rock over chicago
I am digging the Sublime lyrics from Garden Grove. Nice nod to Bradly
ive been looking for this video for so long
That song was yesterday on the first episode of the seventh season of "The 100" 🧡
Such a great song!!! And the live is even better. "I'm angry and I know that's weak!!!!!"
this comes up in my play list A LOT... and I always let it play!
these r my fav crying songs :’-)
That just looks like the comfiest sweater
god bless you puddle splashers your sessions always sound so god damn amazing I’m so jealous
Great natural light in this video
I can't wait to see them in Accord, perfect atmosphere for their show
Oh boy did those songs hit hard
OK, that sweater is fantastic.
this only feeds the soul.
I love this band, I hope they come to Mexico someday.
Love this songs! 🇧🇷
just wonderful!!!
Freaking beautiful
Hope to see them live, someday
That bass is solid.
Greetings from Pine Grove, PA!
"2 roaches in the pot" love the little Sublime reference he did right there lol🔥👍

1:03 Sublime!! ☀️👏🏻
beautiful
What a cool fucking band! Now I got darkness on my mind.
I feel bad for the one person who disliked
y'all are so on point
So so good
7 time NASCAR Champ Jimmie Johnson on the drums? :oP
come in, begin, between the lioonnnsss
Playing on repeat…
Dude these songs got me fucked up. An awesome girl in my life introduced me to these guys, but I had to end things with her for reasons and now I’m sitting here crying like a baby. BUT WHATEVER IM FEELING IS NATURAL 😂
Pinegrove is my fav
Wait... is that guitar player wearing an another Michael shirt?
that sublime reference 👀
🙌🏻
so friggan perfect
