this song is basically about ambition and choices, as well as a statement of contentment in our path and direction. Everyone lives under expectations, of themselves or of others, and we largely live in a society where those in authority over the last few generations have tried to domesticate us. I think a core theme is that there is nothing wrong with choosing a normal life. We don't have to be successful, we don't have to be adventurous, we don't even have to be admirable. As I see it, we only need to understand ourselves and our present enough to be not just content but happy and appreciative of our choices. It's about stepping out from expectations and rediscovering our “wild” heart that is free to choose what we want to do. Even if that is “normal,” what we believe, what we choose is not important; it's why we believe it, why we choose it. That is what is most important to me.
You know a band is perfect when every song leaves you thinking, "This is my favorite song on the album." There are 'No Parallels' to explain how beautiful this album is. :)
i love this band. the singer has a unique way of singing and whoever writes their lyrics, or at least for this song, is an idealist of freedom. it resonates with me entirely. the song might be kind of poppy but maybe that's the great thing about it.
Last time I heard this song I was happy it’s been years I forgot about it but found again on accident. Man I miss the good times you may have shown me true pain but also you showed me true happiness and I’m forever great full I still miss you but it is what it is and that’s ok. Such a beautiful song.
I remember when they answered my awkward question awkwardly when they first got signed to Rise. SO stoked for this record, hope they sell it at Warped :)
I don't understand the whole issue with the miss heard lyric. Like it's not something that's traumatizing, this isn't like walking in on your parents having sex or something. It's a great song and with knowing the main intention you should know to push aside the stupidness.
DON'T READ THE COMMENTS, PEOPLE ARE BEING DICKS AND MENTIONING SOMETHING THAT REALLY RUINS THE SONG. JUST TRUST ME, DON'T READ IT, GO RIGHT BACK UP AND STARE AT THE BEAUTIFUL COVER ART. you're welcome.
I'm from another continent and when i found some songs about this guys in 2011 they were amazing. And now they're more than an amazing band, keep going guys!
This is such a beautiful album, 100% worth the purchase. You guys are more than talented, thank you for the inspiring lyrics & heartfelt masterpieces you've shared with us.
Uh, I'm 5'6 and the small is a tad small, but not tiny. To be specific, it's kinda short in the torso area (as in, not very long), but the sleeves are of average length, I think. Don't know about the other sizes. It's a sweet shirt though!!

When you read the assholes comments, it can't be undone! Unless you master meditation or something just think of happy thoughts when hearing it. The love for HLH still and will always, remain!
Hey guys chill out. I didn't even know about this song until I watched a "misheard lyrics" video. I got a laugh out of it but at the same time the chorus stuck out to me so I looked up the actual song and now I'm hooked. Just be mature about it man it's all in good fun.
Love how I can be rocking out to this beautiful song then look at the comments and see people berating each other for some harmless immaturity. Seriously guys. If you want people to take things seriously just ignore the stuff you don't want to see. If it works with me and bugs it should work fine for you and weird people in the comments. Just chill and enjoy the music lets leave the rude remarks and rebuttals for another time. Thank you.
This tune got stuck in my head out of nowhere but for the life of me I couldn't remember the song. Glad I finally found it otherwise it was going to drive me nuts.
Completely agree. I hate when "performers" (see top 40 artists on the radio or something) get all the attention. They have one song go big and they grow a fan base literally based off that one song. Bands like HLH are fucking awesome and everything they create is amazing. They deserve more recognition, they just don't get it. Then again, when bands get big they do tend to change their sound to better suit the larger fan base as opposed to their true fans.
I am a proud supporter of Hands Like Houses, and clearly it isn't for everyone. But for the people who actually like the music and support the band then you know what good music is. Not every song has to have screaming/growling. It's mice to relax and listen to some good old rock. I'm looking forward to my preordered copy on July 23rd :)
It’s ironic how sad this song is to me. 🥺 To be free like what?? What’s happiness? How can you be all of that at once? Holy shit, somebody tell me how to achieve this great feeling of overwhelming contentment. I hate it here, and this song makes me realize that more and more. Such a beautiful tragedy. 🙏🏼
I am immune to the misheard lyrics. I shall rise in power over the weak when the time is right.
Tara Louise me too i can resist
lol same
My best friend that died in a car accident last Sunday showed me this song when it first came out and I loved it ever since,rip luis
so sorry mate
Dawson Burns
tragic
Damm son
I'm so sorry bro.

No it's about recognizing a penis
Matin thinking about it... i can see that.

It’s 2021 and this album is still my favorite 💕
Here again in 2022!
The guy I was so in love with sent me this song once, for a while I listened to this and cried. I can finally smile and listen to it ❤
i love this band. the singer has a unique way of singing and whoever writes their lyrics, or at least for this song, is an idealist of freedom. it resonates with me entirely. the song might be kind of poppy but maybe that's the great thing about it.
I can't believe this comment section on this piece of modern masterpiece of music
Incredible song! Just saw them live with Silverstein.
Same!
Listening in 2024 😊 such an amazing song ❤
These guys are beyond amazing & they have so much talent.
I need to see them live again.
I cry every time I hear this!! BRAZIL LOVES YOU HANDS LIKE HOUSES!
Last time I heard this song I was happy it’s been years I forgot about it but found again on accident. Man I miss the good times you may have shown me true pain but also you showed me true happiness and I’m forever great full I still miss you but it is what it is and that’s ok. Such a beautiful song.

This is the happiest song I've ever heard. Now it's my favorite.

amen
+cjfonz17 I agree. I hear the word "penis" all the time in this song and it doesn't ruin it for me at all.
DON'T READ THE COMMENTS, PEOPLE ARE BEING DICKS AND MENTIONING SOMETHING THAT REALLY RUINS THE SONG. JUST TRUST ME, DON'T READ IT, GO RIGHT BACK UP AND STARE AT THE BEAUTIFUL COVER ART. you're welcome.
+Emily Jones Thanks :)
TacDelify happy to help :)

i fucking love Hands Like Houses
This is such a beautiful album, 100% worth the purchase. You guys are more than talented, thank you for the inspiring lyrics & heartfelt masterpieces you've shared with us.
i've seen hand like houses open for pierce the veil a few months back and they were absolutely amazing, i'm so happy i was able to see them
Why was I not informed of this new album?
DO want!
This is a new album... whereas this is a penis!
Best song on the album, thought that since it leaked a few days ago, this whole album is amazing!
I have a sweatshirt of this song... It says "This Is Happiness". Needless to say it's one of my favorite shirts!!!!
OMG I saw that shirt on the MerchNOW site! Could you by any chance tell me how it fits? Like, on a person.
Uh, I'm 5'6 and the small is a tad small, but not tiny. To be specific, it's kinda short in the torso area (as in, not very long), but the sleeves are of average length, I think. Don't know about the other sizes. It's a sweet shirt though!!
Okay haha, thanks!
Can anyone please send me a link?

Been following these guys for while and I absolutely love their music!! Proud Supporter of Hands Like Houses!! Amazing Music!!

This is incredible.
This is an awesome song. Pure awesomeness. I would bottle this song up and take little sips from it when I'm feeling down.
I absolutely love this song
So much love for this band, am 100% gonna get the album
Love this song. I'm listening to the lyrics and I see horses. Wild terrain and horses galloping at full speed.
I can’t stop listening to this! It’s sooo good! 😍
When you read the assholes comments, it can't be undone! Unless you master meditation or something just think of happy thoughts when hearing it. The love for HLH still and will always, remain!
No, that's what the band wants. The label gives them the freedom to make the music THEY want.
Got these guys to sign my shirt at Warped this year! It was amazing most humble guys every!
It was amazing meeting these guys after their warped tour set in Milwaukee, most amazing guys ever!!
The song starts at 0:00
Thank me later
Its been a year, I guess its time to be thanked.
Thanks.
Preach🥰 thank you
You’re welcome👽
I have listened to Unimagine for quite a while now. And, my mustache has grown far more faster than in usual.. Is this is a coincidence?
So thankful for you guys. Your music seems be the only thing that soothes my 2 week old. 💙💜
lucky baby
Hey guys chill out. I didn't even know about this song until I watched a "misheard lyrics" video. I got a laugh out of it but at the same time the chorus stuck out to me so I looked up the actual song and now I'm hooked. Just be mature about it man it's all in good fun.
+Phillip Barnwell What video was it from? I want to listen to it for myself :)
+3timespredator Jarrod Alonge Misheard Lyrics Video #1
Josh Trott Thank you! Much obliged.
This whole album is amazing, but I have to say this is probably my favorite song HLH has ever done.
I speak for many people when I say....Why would you do this to us? I CAN NOT UNHEAR. THANK YOU.
Probably the best song from the new album (for me)...I love your music HLH!!! Keep doing this awesomeness!
this album meets up with Ground Dweller, different sounds but both flawless albums. can not fucking wait for Tuesday till i get my copy!
Omfg this is my favorite band every song is pure poetry 😍😍
So positively recharging, so energetic
OHHHHHH TO BE FREEE LIKE THISSSS
THIS IS HAPPINESSSSSS

I love this song so much!!! They are amazing live :)
Omggggg I'm so happy these guys and I are from the same hometown 😱😱😱😱

these guys are just phenomenal
In my opinion they are the best band signed to Rise. They have far exceeded the already high expectations that they had set with Ground Dweller.
So there is an acoustic version of this in the making.....just heard a teaser and it sounds so fucking good!! Should be released soon hopefully
wait for real?! where can i watch the teaser!? :)
these songs really help me in life :)
Same here! This put me in a good mood :)
He sounds just as great!
They played this song at Self Helo when I saw them.
I think I have a new found love
this song is so great
Holly shit... They have matured, this is brilliance
should be much more popular!
Favorite song
This is sooo good!
Awesome. Just awesome. Perfect vocals, lyrics, instrumentals, just wondeful.
Good music is whatever you subjectively decide it is.
Talk about a feel good song!
This song taught me not to look in the comment section. 😂
Just recently finding out about this band...I'm in love :)
It’s ironic how sad this song is to me. 🥺
To be free like what??
What’s happiness?
How can you be all of that at once?
Holy shit, somebody tell me how to achieve this great feeling of overwhelming contentment.
I hate it here, and this song makes me realize that more and more.
Such a beautiful tragedy. 🙏🏼
God, this is just beautiful. My new anthem
This song is so inspiring
I'm SO happy that I pre-ordered this album! Can't wait. 3
I have a friend leaving to hike the AT next year. Reminded me of her.

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH OMF IT'S STILL UP THERE IN MY FAVOURITES💞😊
