If Cellar Door to Ultraviolet doesn't prove Spiritbox's range and versatility to people, I don't know what will. This is a band that can either entrance you in with melody and atmosphere, or absolutely melt the front of your skull with the heavier elements.
exactly what they did to me with this song. i absolutely love the melody, mood, atmosphere, etc. never really got into them before this, but i am wanting so much more now haha
This EP came out during the week I was having a miscarriage with twins. It was an experience I could never fathom being as hard as it was. I was angry and so sad, but still had that small bit of hope it would be okay in the end. This EP, especially this specific song, will hit me in ways I never knew existed because of that experience. “If you could meet me in another life, we could burn into the velvet sky.. “ 🖤🖤
i hope you heal and find happiness in your future, this was very touching to share. my sister's going through the same thing. wishing you the absolute best- and im so glad this song has brought you comfort. we're listening with you!
Lmao ive listend to this song about 50 times since the EP dropped and never even thought about it like that. Thanks for putting those words together for me to understand this song better.
Incredible artistry here! I honestly have dabbled with this band once or twice in recent months and usually gravitate more towards the heavy hitters. BUT... I woke up this morning and watched a bad ass vocal cover (Yasmine's ) ov "Cellar Door " THEN I'm curious & scoping out more ov their actual songs and videos... Looking for the heavy hitters honestly I must admit, this video right here keeps captivating me. It's as if I discovered an ice machine to deliver refreshingly smooth& chilling ice blocks to blend and melt into my strong, brutal, heavy drum OV FIRE WATER, so to speak I know as I head out into this world to face another day, I'm going to be amped off ov my BRUTAL HEAVY Death Metal and "death core", but probably will light some sage and have this song on repeat in the shower calming my spirit beforehand ! The calm before the storm, so to speak. Do you have any other favorites you might recommend? Cool unique name, by the way, Miss!
@@D.L.Seraile717 I honestly don't really have too much to recommend because ANYTHING Spiritbox does has been getting me through life. Their album Eternal Blue is beautiful to listen to if you are looking for something on the more melodic side. Good luck on your Spiritbox music journey - Courtneys voice will never cease to amaze me. Also, thanks for the compliment - it is very appreciated.
@@ShockwaveZero You can't judge this band based on one song, since they blend different genres, but still rooted in metal. You need to be more open-minded. Besides, this isn't even the song that earned them a Grammy nomination. It's their song, "Jaded".
Spiritbox has become my number 1 band. This EP’s so emotionally beautiful. Perfection. Oh and it looks like Courtney is wearing the broken mirror. We love you Courtney. We love you Mike. We love you Zev. We love you Josh. Thank you for creating a masterpiece. 💜
Lol there are too many other good bands out there for me over spiritbox yes Courtney good mike good an the drummer good but there music always sounds the same since eternal blue they don’t change up nothing just the same o same o you need to check out motionless in white bad omens INK an others out there in the metal scene spiritbox is just a top 10 or 12 band for me seeing them live or not they just need to change up there music some I’ll put starset over them to
After hearing the repeating lyrics of “I know where I wanna go, but it’s too close and it’s too late this time…” throughout the entire EP, to hear Courtney start soaring her vocals and close out the final song by changing it to… 3:03 “You know where you wanna go Never too close Never too late There’s always time” …heals something deep in my soul that I didn’t realize was broken. I absolutely adore this band
Yeah that had me BAWLING on my first listen through. I'm already getting Secret Garden lyrics on my chest but damn I want too close, too late somewhere too
The fact that this and Cellar Door are on the same EP is so cool. I love that Spiritbox just creates what they want, and doesn't try to stick to any rules.
And I love the fact that I, as an enjoyer of the heavy-heavy first and foremost, have this song stuck on repeat. Music is music. Bands like Spiritbox, Currents, and Invent Animate are revolutionizing the genre imo, but Spiritbox takes the cake in terms of their overall range. This is beautiful.
@@OuroborosWormyeah probably not happy. I'd describe it as emotional, melancholic, almost sorrowful with the lyrics. It's just a beautiful fucking song.
@@1TotalJabroniespecially these music videos. They have that 00s metalcore feel but with amazing visuals. I loved the exploding mirror cube in the jaded video reminded me of star wars lol
I tell you all, this song will be unbelievable like the others. More seriously, this group is truly incredible, they never disappoint and every song they do is a banger or even a masterpiece.
I always say to myself, if theres a band that can make 'rock' mainstream again, its this one. No misses, led by one of the most beautiful voices ive ever heard. Im in awe every time.
I've been listening to rock for 40 years. For at least half of that it has been extremely mainstream. That, said this sounds much more like generic pop to me, and it's overproduced as hell.
@@joeylummox7330 I agree. I love Spiritbox, but this song feels completely void of the Spiritbox sound and comes across like pop music. It's like the record label made them throw it on the album to have a "radio" single.
@mavven2882 you do realize spiritbox has made whatever they wanted since they were formed right? They've always had the more melodic and ambient songs like this, especially evident on Eternal Blue
@@cynicalphoenix If you think any band who signs with a decent-sized record label is just able to "make whatever they want", I've got some lunar real estate to sell you. You are allowed to like this song. It just won't be for everybody.
@mavven2882 you clearly don't know courtney or Mike then, or musicians in general. If this was the "one" radio friendly song the label forced, why is half the ep also melodic with cleans?
She's so fucking metal man!!! My favorite female vocalist. Her range is insane but yet when she screams she looks so calm. Sings like an angel screams like a demon.
I love how she creates a whole story and theme throughout the EP. Hearing the same bridge from "Too Close / Too Late" in Ultraviolet but in a completely different tone is just so beautiful. Such a unique and amazing band.
For real man, so much pre-pro. I mean just think about the on-set music track for her to sync to... it has to all match up in the final edit of course, so it's got to be timed out to account for the ramps and hitting marks, etc. "Simple" and cheap (and smart!) idea for a music video, but the more you think about it, the more you realize how difficult it is to execute this well.
@@adamkoepke1366 Well, it's not necessarily shot at 24fps, but whatever frame rate they used, they shot the entire thing with the same frame rate. That's the trick. You have to know in advance where, when, and how much you want to ramp things in the edit because it's going to change the timing of how it matches up to the song in the edit. The unedited footage is no doubt much longer than what we see in the final video. The music track used on set for her to sync her vocals is probably the trickier bit (not sure lol, I'm still deciding). Since it's audio, it was sped up or slowed down, extended, manipulated, etc. ahead of time. In other words, she's hearing it on set already sped up and slowed down and whatever else. That allows her to adjust her lip sync in real time, and when the FOOTAGE of her singing faster or slower is adjusted in the edit, it gives the effect that she's singing "normal" speed, even though everything around her isn't. Does that answer your question?
@@daedalus_20v I think so! Thank you! I work in the video and photo production world but haven't ever had to do any speed ramping so I've always been curious about it. I always assumed they would do takes at their final export fps rate and then do full takes at their predetermined slowed down and sped up frame rates. But especially with this looking like a one take video unless they're doing a hell of a job with somehow hiding these cuts, I can't really wrap my head around how they did this.
@@adamkoepke1366 mind bending! - Im thinking they probably shot it at something like 48-60 fps and the audio track she lip synced too was ramping between half time or double time or dropping back to normal speed etc where they had the speed ramps planned for the video... incredibly well executed, getting the dancers in and out of frame and lighting que's... so good
This is the final time I'm waking up Inside a dream that doesn't break enough Of the soul I once was In the light I once loved I can see it shining through the trees A reflection of a crimson key And I hesitate to feel something In the presence of a cold Emotional vampire Invited inside, I dream I die Hidden from the light You wanna cover me in ultraviolet To a river flowing back in time Dream I die Dream I die If you can meet me in another life and We can burn into the velvet sky Dream I die Dream I die I can feel the end is haunting me Mirror image staring back into a thousand lifetimes Fearing what the light finds I can see it shining through the trees A reflection of a crimson key And I hesitate to feel something 'Cause I don't belong here You wanna cover me in ultraviolet To a river flowing back in time Dream I die Dream I die If you can meet me in another life and We can burn into the velvet sky Dream I die Dream I die You know where you want to go Never too close Never too late There's always time Dream I die
Zev's use of ghost notes is so tasteful and adds so much, especially to the melodic and more chill parts of their songs. I love drumming to SB songs because they're heavy but still have a great feeling pocket. Plus the use of doubles with the single pedal and linear fills all over the place - just a ton of fun to listen to and play to.
I understand them not having real drums on the first record, but I’m glad they spent the money recording his real drums for the last couple releases, really makes it pop.
Seeing how the lyrics evolve to tell the story throughout this ep is soooo satisfying. This is my favorite song off the whole project. I’ll dream of some spiritbox shoegaze in the coming year.
They have a good amount of songs I'd say 5-10 that have unmatched emotion and they are truly just SAD but so beautiful. This gets added to that list for sure
the light change and arrangement at @2:12 is the highlight of the song 😍 what i love most about spiritbox is their versatility and there’s always exciting surprises every new release!!
That alternate version of Too Close/Too Late chorus near the end!. I love it when bands or artists do that thing in an album or even throughout different albums in their career. It's like watching a movie sequel or reading novels.
God, I love this band so much. They've never made a bad song, never made a bad anything. Always visually perfect, always musically interesting and unique...I'm just so happy when they drop new things.
Incredible. I really feel like Spiritbox are reaching their final form -- this EP is a perfect blend of heavy and melodic and ambient and emotional and it absolutely rips
lol ok bro. they were in IWABO since 2013 so they've been creating music together for WAY longer than that. enough with the unwarranted toxicity bs @@tronlorne9328
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 Haha, that's too bad. Rotoscope reminded me of industrial bands, like Garbage. That's why I like Spiritbox - they are willing to try anything and still make it awesome.
this song is absolutely incredible. by far my favourite spiritbox song, and i've been a fan since before eternal blue. the vocal layers on the second "dream i die" during both choruses send me to space every single time. and the slight variation in the guitar line on the second chorus... man.
@@asscher10 it's way better than bunch of CGI crap. I'm not against CGI stuff but the music videos are over saturated by those nowadays. So it feels great to see something different for once. Also I'm admiring the art of the artist who made a one take music video. Knowing how much work goes behind a music video like this, it's admirable!
@@thisizzayd dude, you're just making a huge effort to appreciate a video that is crap. 😂 song is very beautiful tho. But the video is definitely a NO this time.
The best voice out there. Period. Courtney's voice has always invoked emotions I'm not aware I was capable of experiencing til those notes run thru my skin like electricity
Continues to show how diverse and talented they are. This really showcases artistic composition that crosses genre borders. Well done. Spiritbox is truly on another level. Thank you for sharing your music. Love it !!
@@TheDSasterX Would that not be a great Double Bill? Sleep Token and Spiritbox are two of the most creative bands out there at the moment. Not no cookie cutter s$#@!!
@@scottnixon9236 My guy, that's what I've been hoping for since before they even started to blow up! Could you just imagine? That would be a great day to die lol. They're really just artists in a world full of brands.
This song was INCREDIBLE! I am VERY surprised they aren’t bigger and more famous. This song was so beautiful and well written. I wish that the album had more than six tracks. ❤ THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME MUSIC! As a millennial I struggle to find new music that actually speaks to me. ❤
I love how it's not just about releasing music for the sake of music with Courtney and the guys. Spiritbox is about a cascade of sound and emotions. A storytelling experience meant to be heard, seen, and felt. 🤘🤘🤘
i can't really explain exactly why this makes me cry, but this is very special. those last couple of seconds are indescribably cruel, but absolutely real.
Courtney is such an awesome front-woman, she dances, sings, screams, and just captivates the audience, the whole band is fucking epic and Courtney wraps everything together in a gorgeous ribbon
This song is just gorgeous. It just captures you. Courtney’s vocals are second to none. Her lower register is just astounding, and she is slowly letting us hear her higher range, and her head voice. Really enjoying this new music.
I cried my first time listening to this. The confetti calling and just the chile from the breakdown. Absolute masterpiece of a song and video, cheers court and spiritbox! 🎉
Just an incredible piece of art audibly and visually. I would have love to been a fly on the wall during the recording of this video. The setting with the lighting, the costumes, the choreography is just so well put together.
Guys.... you have no idea how you are helping me in one of my challenge years of my life. Depression have knocked my door, and your music is getting me the strength to continue. Thank you for your existence.
“In my dreams all I see is a crimson key, tethered by a falling strings meant to turn in the lock for me.” “I can see it shining through the trees, a reflection of the crimson key.” LOVE the story telling ❤
Crying my eyes out over such perfection. Courtney and Spiritbox as a whole.. Has made my life significantly better. Existing at the same time as them is such an honor. And this one-take music video.. There are not enough words to express how outstanding everyone did that was involved.
Hey Courtney, Mike, zev, Josh👋 just saying hi & that your music has gotten me through some of my most darkest and challenging emotions and times. I’ve been here since your first ep & it’s been so wonderful seeing you guys evolve & flourish as a band. I am also a fellow musician/drummer & musics always been my escape & outlet. I just recently created a RUclips channel & started putting myself out there, doing drum playthroughs of some collaboration songs with a good friend of mine. And also doing covers of some of my favorite songs that really mean a lot to me. I recently posted a playthrough of one of your songs “SEW ME UP” wich resonated so deeply with me & everything id been facing during the time & still remains one of my favorites to this day along with Constance. Playing along with your music has been such a soulful heart warming experience & I’m grateful to have your influence in my lifetime & the opportunity to play my heart out & connect with your music so deeply. Your musics helped me heal, your music has gave me a safe space when I felt alone, your musics inspired me to keep going & I can’t thank you enough for everything you guys do because you put your heart and soul into SPIRITBOX & are so one of a kind. Thank you for your talent & mark on this world. -kelby
Alright, I just started listening to Spiritbox over the weekend (shame on me for being so late to the party 😭), and I’m OBSESSED omg. They’re so, so GOOD. This is probably my favorite song so far. Definitely a forever fan now! 🤘
It’s always a great change of pace to hear a metal band tone down just a step and explore with cleans all while executing an absolute ballad. That’s part of what made Killswitch so fantastic was the ability to tow the line between both. Spiritbox is killing it with this album.
this makes me feel like i’ve lived 300 past lives w a particular someone who i haven’t spoken with in years. and he broke my heart and soul. in a way courtney is at a point in her life where she no longer wants that life, the past, but she will always love them. she wants it to stop but… this is just beautiful and so bittersweet. thank you spiritbox for creating such beautiful art. and making me feel things again 🥺🫶
This is my fav track off the EP for now. It’s so ethereal. I really love how they hav both dark and light elements. This song def brings emotions up. ❤️🔥
We already got super heavy Cellar Door and all rounder Jaded, so I'm calling this one to be on the chiller side, maybe like Rotoscope or Secret Garden. Any way they go, it's gonna be awesome though!
I'm so happy to be a spiritbox fan. You don't understand how much I love this band. Courtney, Mike, Josh, and Zev are such talented and amazing people. Outstanding job on this video. HELL outstanding job on EVERY video that you guys released for this EP. I just love it. This made me cry. I love it when a song makes me cry because I can just feel the emotion. The art in the dancing and movement and everything just goes great with the song. Spiritbox you guys done it again. Thank you so much
omg Courtney...... i love her... she can sing, scream, crawl etc ..... ahhhhhh
She doesn't crawl, the whole word does under Courtney !
Courtney Cox can do it all.
@@jeromed2 🤣🤣
Where’s Krista

If Cellar Door to Ultraviolet doesn't prove Spiritbox's range and versatility to people, I don't know what will.
This is a band that can either entrance you in with melody and atmosphere, or absolutely melt the front of your skull with the heavier elements.

This is the final time I'm waking up
Inside a dream that doesn't break enough
Of the soul I once was
In the light I once loved
I can see it shining through the trees
A reflection of a crimson key
And I hesitate to feel something
In the presence of a cold
Emotional vampire
Invited inside, I dream I die
Hidden from the light
You wanna cover me in ultraviolet
To a river flowing back in time
Dream I die
Dream I die
If you can meet me in another life and
We can burn into the velvet sky
Dream I die
Dream I die
I can feel the end is haunting me
Mirror image staring back into a thousand lifetimes
Fearing what the light finds
I can see it shining through the trees
A reflection of a crimson key
And I hesitate to feel something
'Cause I don't belong here
You wanna cover me in ultraviolet
To a river flowing back in time
Dream I die
Dream I die
If you can meet me in another life and
We can burn into the velvet sky
Dream I die
Dream I die
You know where you want to go
Never too close
Never too late
There's always time
Dream I die
One of my favorite song❤🔥
You made it so metalwomanly🔥
this song had me crying at 8am
Zev's use of ghost notes is so tasteful and adds so much, especially to the melodic and more chill parts of their songs. I love drumming to SB songs because they're heavy but still have a great feeling pocket. Plus the use of doubles with the single pedal and linear fills all over the place - just a ton of fun to listen to and play to.
yeah man them ghosts are mad here
I understand them not having real drums on the first record, but I’m glad they spent the money recording his real drums for the last couple releases, really makes it pop.
@@yourname50 I'd love for them to work with Mixwave like Mike did and make a drum sample pack. I'd buy it instantly.
@@yourname50 from what I've heard, they only recorded real drums for the rotoscope Ep. These are also programmed drums.
@@josephdamico6991Mike wrote and tracked all the drums, bass and guitar. What a beast!
This just scratches every itch... amazing vocals, amazing instrumentals, amazing ambience, and breathtaking visuals. This whole album doesn't miss.
Seeing how the lyrics evolve to tell the story throughout this ep is soooo satisfying. This is my favorite song off the whole project. I’ll dream of some spiritbox shoegaze in the coming year.
This song has been on repeat for me for the past two weeks. I can’t get enough. It is absolutely beautiful
great song, great visuals
So glad I found this band, the range in Courtney's voice is incredible.
This saved me
Visually, lyrically, musically, this is absolute ART. thank you to all involved for this beautiful imagery 🖤🤘🏼
Courtney, your vocal range is awesome!
I don't even care that you're the best metal screamer ever. You could do a Mariah Carey album for fun.
Insane this band has written so many masterpieces. One after another.
Ugh the chorus melody is soooo good
i love spiribox. thank you
I felt so emotional listening to that. I loved the ambience. Makes me wanna bawl my eyes out fr
SAME
They have a good amount of songs I'd say 5-10 that have unmatched emotion and they are truly just SAD but so beautiful. This gets added to that list for sure
My favorite band since 2020,Spiritbox. Greetings from Tlalnepantla Mexico 🇲🇽😎
the light change and arrangement at @2:12 is the highlight of the song 😍 what i love most about spiritbox is their versatility and there’s always exciting surprises every new release!!
That alternate version of Too Close/Too Late chorus near the end!. I love it when bands or artists do that thing in an album or even throughout different albums in their career. It's like watching a movie sequel or reading novels.
God, I love this band so much. They've never made a bad song, never made a bad anything. Always visually perfect, always musically interesting and unique...I'm just so happy when they drop new things.
The lyrics alone tell you this band is phenomenal! So many goosebumps
Incredible. I really feel like Spiritbox are reaching their final form -- this EP is a perfect blend of heavy and melodic and ambient and emotional and it absolutely rips
They’ve been a band for 6 years . They’re literally just getting started. Enough with the dragonball z final form bs.
lol ok bro. they were in IWABO since 2013 so they've been creating music together for WAY longer than that. enough with the unwarranted toxicity bs @@tronlorne9328
This is a perfect blend of their old stuff and eternal blue. Glad they didnt keep going with that rotoscope sound, was not a fan.
@@TheAbandonedAccount7 Haha, that's too bad. Rotoscope reminded me of industrial bands, like Garbage. That's why I like Spiritbox - they are willing to try anything and still make it awesome.
Courtney's voice 1:54-2:29 has the power to instantly stop any civil unrest, stampede or any armed conflict within earshot. She's incredible!
This is one of those songs where I have to stop myself from listening to it on repeat because it's just so beautiful 🫠
The melodic greatness in this song is beautiful what a song
Holy shit, new spiritbox AND silent planet at the same time? The metal gods have blessed us today, we eatin good today boys and gals!
this song is absolutely incredible. by far my favourite spiritbox song, and i've been a fan since before eternal blue. the vocal layers on the second "dream i die" during both choruses send me to space every single time. and the slight variation in the guitar line on the second chorus... man.
You already know this video is going to be epic because Dylan and his Versa Films crew made it!!🤘
err... no.
@@asscher10 it's way better than bunch of CGI crap. I'm not against CGI stuff but the music videos are over saturated by those nowadays. So it feels great to see something different for once. Also I'm admiring the art of the artist who made a one take music video. Knowing how much work goes behind a music video like this, it's admirable!
@@asscher10 Ya, quite underwhelming, nothing new or interesting. A lyric video wouldve been better than this
@@thisizzayd ok
@@thisizzayd dude, you're just making a huge effort to appreciate a video that is crap. 😂 song is very beautiful tho. But the video is definitely a NO this time.
The best voice out there. Period. Courtney's voice has always invoked emotions I'm not aware I was capable of experiencing til those notes run thru my skin like electricity
i seriously still can't get over how good this EP is. Absolutely phenomenal!
Continues to show how diverse and talented they are. This really showcases artistic composition that crosses genre borders. Well done. Spiritbox is truly on another level. Thank you for sharing your music. Love it !!
Between Spiritbox and Sleep Token, Blessed Be the 2020's :'D
@@TheDSasterX Would that not be a great Double Bill? Sleep Token and Spiritbox are two of the most creative bands out there at the moment. Not no cookie cutter s$#@!!
@@scottnixon9236 My guy, that's what I've been hoping for since before they even started to blow up! Could you just imagine? That would be a great day to die lol. They're really just artists in a world full of brands.
This song was INCREDIBLE! I am VERY surprised they aren’t bigger and more famous. This song was so beautiful and well written. I wish that the album had more than six tracks. ❤ THANK YOU FOR THIS AWESOME MUSIC! As a millennial I struggle to find new music that actually speaks to me. ❤
Wow. Beautiful song and video.
Never too close.
Never too late.
There is always time.
Your life is your own. Embrace this power.
I love how it's not just about releasing music for the sake of music with Courtney and the guys. Spiritbox is about a cascade of sound and emotions. A storytelling experience meant to be heard, seen, and felt. 🤘🤘🤘
Yessss! I agree
This should have 8 billion views.
Spiritbox & Versa Films collaboration are always my favorite. The imagery is impactful and always fits the mood perfectly.
i love the fact that cellar door's courtney is a dark version of ultraviolet's courtney. the crawling scene give me goosebumps!!
Wow the video was shot in one take! Incredible 🖤
i can't really explain exactly why this makes me cry, but this is very special. those last couple of seconds are indescribably cruel, but absolutely real.
Her choreography is always on point in the music videos.
Courtney is such an awesome front-woman, she dances, sings, screams, and just captivates the audience, the whole band is fucking epic and Courtney wraps everything together in a gorgeous ribbon
This song is just gorgeous. It just captures you. Courtney’s vocals are second to none. Her lower register is just astounding, and she is slowly letting us hear her higher range, and her head voice. Really enjoying this new music.
Love this so much
This is the best First introduction video to Spirit Box for someone who isn't into metal or harsh vocals!
The choreography and camera work are absolutely F-ing brilliant.
Blessed be the day whenever Spiritbox releases a new song/music video.
We NEED a making of/behind the scenes for this video!
Courtney, you're a beautiful angel. Keep doing what you love and we will support you and the band always.
I cried my first time listening to this. The confetti calling and just the chile from the breakdown. Absolute masterpiece of a song and video, cheers court and spiritbox! 🎉
Just an incredible piece of art audibly and visually. I would have love to been a fly on the wall during the recording of this video. The setting with the lighting, the costumes, the choreography is just so well put together.
Have never found a band where I liked their entire catalogue until Spiritbox. Massively talented musicians.
Happy Spiritbox day🎉🎉we are so blessed to have this band in our lives
Little pieces of her scattered all over the floor…. We’ve all been there ❤ this is beautiful 🤩
Guys.... you have no idea how you are helping me in one of my challenge years of my life. Depression have knocked my door, and your music is getting me the strength to continue. Thank you for your existence.
One of the most talented rock bands I've ever heard
What a beautiful song!! Spiritbox don’t miss! Also great video, compliments the music perfectly.
I cant wait to hear this song live one day & just cry happy tears!!!!
“In my dreams all I see is a crimson key, tethered by a falling strings meant to turn in the lock for me.”
“I can see it shining through the trees, a reflection of the crimson key.”
LOVE the story telling ❤
Spiritbox makes me feel like spinning in falling glitter! 🥰
Crying my eyes out over such perfection. Courtney and Spiritbox as a whole.. Has made my life significantly better. Existing at the same time as them is such an honor. And this one-take music video.. There are not enough words to express how outstanding everyone did that was involved.
Spiritbox is braking through something different as a ELITE band
Her voice 😍😍 Courtney is absolutely STUNNING.
Hey Courtney, Mike, zev, Josh👋 just saying hi & that your music has gotten me through some of my most darkest and challenging emotions and times. I’ve been here since your first ep & it’s been so wonderful seeing you guys evolve & flourish as a band. I am also a fellow musician/drummer & musics always been my escape & outlet. I just recently created a RUclips channel & started putting myself out there, doing drum playthroughs of some collaboration songs with a good friend of mine. And also doing covers of some of my favorite songs that really mean a lot to me. I recently posted a playthrough of one of your songs “SEW ME UP” wich resonated so deeply with me & everything id been facing during the time & still remains one of my favorites to this day along with Constance. Playing along with your music has been such a soulful heart warming experience & I’m grateful to have your influence in my lifetime & the opportunity to play my heart out & connect with your music so deeply. Your musics helped me heal, your music has gave me a safe space when I felt alone, your musics inspired me to keep going & I can’t thank you enough for everything you guys do because you put your heart and soul into SPIRITBOX & are so one of a kind. Thank you for your talent & mark on this world. -kelby
I think this is about how the darkest of depths we can be trapped in can be those found deep within our own selves.
Alright, I just started listening to Spiritbox over the weekend (shame on me for being so late to the party 😭), and I’m OBSESSED omg. They’re so, so GOOD. This is probably my favorite song so far. Definitely a forever fan now! 🤘
It’s always a great change of pace to hear a metal band tone down just a step and explore with cleans all while executing an absolute ballad. That’s part of what made Killswitch so fantastic was the ability to tow the line between both.
Spiritbox is killing it with this album.
The lyrics are bloody beautiful. Elite level song writing.
This band just keeps getting better and better.
Beautiful
All their songs are good.
this makes me feel like i’ve lived 300 past lives w a particular someone who i haven’t spoken with in years. and he broke my heart and soul. in a way courtney is at a point in her life where she no longer wants that life, the past, but she will always love them. she wants it to stop but… this is just beautiful and so bittersweet. thank you spiritbox for creating such beautiful art. and making me feel things again 🥺🫶
This is my fav track off the EP for now. It’s so ethereal. I really love how they hav both dark and light elements. This song def brings emotions up. ❤️🔥
We already got super heavy Cellar Door and all rounder Jaded, so I'm calling this one to be on the chiller side, maybe like Rotoscope or Secret Garden. Any way they go, it's gonna be awesome though!
I don't think so because based on the track list, the song that came before Ultraviolet is The Void. Anyway, we will find soon enough
there is 3 super heavy tracks and 3 chill songs, this is a chill one@@RipleyE-we1hj
You got this 🤘.
What a disapointing song
@@MrFearlesskillersoft equal bad
I don't know why, but I'm crying......what a damn beautiful and emotional song! Spiritbox ftw!!
I'm so happy to be a spiritbox fan. You don't understand how much I love this band. Courtney, Mike, Josh, and Zev are such talented and amazing people. Outstanding job on this video. HELL outstanding job on EVERY video that you guys released for this EP. I just love it. This made me cry. I love it when a song makes me cry because I can just feel the emotion. The art in the dancing and movement and everything just goes great with the song. Spiritbox you guys done it again. Thank you so much
I'm on the right side of RUclips tonight. Glad I clicked on this video. This song is so good.
