man I have been looking for this song FOREVER...so glad i found it!!!! TY for the lyrics it helped me zoom in on a tighter search and now I have found the song i was looking for :) Have to remember the band name now!
Lyrics are spot on! i couldn't find lyrics that matched anywhere other than here... the lyrics i found were completely different like from a different version of the song. thanks!
Yeah this song is the shit. What I really like is that their songs are deep without having to be so damned abstract. A lot of similar bands write their songs so that they dont really make sense and need to be interpreted. The Airborne Toxic Event writes songs that arent always straight forward, but they have meaning and/or tell a story. Good shit.
I'm going through some stuff with this girl I know. I didn't know what to say to her and I was listening to music... This was in my "watch later" I just sent it to her... Thank you...
Well, sort of.... It's the girl that's actually changing and beginning to question the relationship. She's becoming someone he doesn't know, he wants to stay together. She's unhappy but he'd be lying if he said he could make it better. Only she can do that. But he's willing to stick it out... That's what Love is Defying means.
Great job on the lyrics. I believe at the end it's 'through the din of your breathing', not dim. Din is "a loud continued noise; especially : a welter of discordant sounds." Other than that, everything seemed perfect. I really rely on guys like you nailing the lyrics so when I go to learn a song it's already there for me! So thank you for your effort and the great work here!
@Xandeth It might. I get 104.5 loud and clear even way down in Vineland, which is about fifty minutes southeast of Philly and is in that awkward segment of Jersey that might as well be Alabama. Granted, Lancaster is pretty damn out there. I sometimes forget how big Pennsylvania is.
Kyle Davis I'm guessing you've never felt such feelings for someone........I know how it feels, well how it felt, to want something so badly even though you already have it but you don't know if that's what you truly want..........deep feelings are so confusing
low defies EVERYTHING, INDIFFERENCE, PAIN, IGNORANCE IT SHUTS IT OUT IT MAKES THE WORLD DESERVING OF DEFIANCE IF ITS NOT BREWING IN ALL OF US, LOVE, LOVE IS IT. AGH
This song is my life........................................... just kidding but this band is up there right next to the beatles. Also thank you for making a lyric vid of this i never could find one
@kwauhop TATE is known to change up lyrics slightly from time to time. Usually the small by words that don't change the meaning, and usually when going from Acoustic to Plugged, like with Gasoline. He changes the chorus up ever so slightly in those versions, I guess because the timing with Acoustic and Plugged is different so it helps him hit his delivery. Would confuse the hell out of me, keeping up with which is which, or maybe he just does it naturally.
@EldScrollsIVfanatic Actually, while this song is great, i wouldn't say it is the kind of song you should play for a girl. Unless of course that girl is your girlfriend and you're unsure as to whether or not you want to break up with her because you are unsure if you still love her. Because that's what this song is about. It's a sad song about falling out of love, not falling in love.
@scorpion123751 He's really progressed. I've always loved TATE since I found them, but early on the 'critics' were harsh on his voice. It was rough, harsh and edgey... which made him a bit like Bob Dillon in that his voice wasn't great but unique and he had such passion with it. He's really worked to clear the voice up as far as critics are concerned, without losing his own uniqueness. I also feel that edge to his voice was perfect for songs like Innocence, the extended version.
Clearly, you don't know where their name came from. The singer enjoys literature. "Airborne Toxic Event" is from a novel called White Noise, an amazing piece of literature.The book was split into 3 parts (like giant chapters/sections) and Airborne Toxic Event is the second part.
@Krelus Umm... is there a problem with Alabama? :D I got a friend from Jersey and I'm from Alabama, so I can't wait to get on him about Vineland! :P Thanks for the laugh!
@nadia6pacheco I feel like it's about a couple who've refused to acknowledge the fact that their relationship is dead and are desperate to keep it going no matter what.
The Disney Concert Hall version of this song is different and I think that the lyrics everywhere else match that version. Just thought I'd let ya know....
@BroddoFaggins Okay, but WHY don't you like it? Lyrics, vocals, music? What makes you not like this song? Giving some reason to your dislike would be instrumental and instructional... just saying you are the 1% really doesn't do anything. I appreciate your freedom to not like it, I would just wonder as to why.
This song kind of confuses me. I like the way it sounds but do not fully understand the lyrics. Its like he wants to love her but doesnt? That is the only assumption i was able to make.
He had her, he lost her and now he sees her again and she's breaking him in-two -- When I was growing up, I was told that the first time you fall in love .........you will never forget it .......... it's just a beautiful thing to experience
Sometimes after a while in a relationship you discover that while you still care about someone and dont want to hurt them but you don't love them anymore.
He is saying that he loves this girl, but that love isn’t enough to keep people together. The last line sums up exactly what he is trying to say. He says that love is defying, meaning that love defies human nature, since humans have an innate desire to mate with more than just 1 person throughout their life. So, while he does care about this girl, he recognizes his own innate desires/ weaknesses, etc and fears the inevitable, that he will eventually break her heart. It’s a very sad, very raw and very real song.

104.5 in Philly played this today while I was driving to work... No words for the feeling that went over me. I was godsmacked.
104.5 doesn’t play this song anymore.
Saw them in Vegas last weekend. 1st concert ever and it was probably the best I'll EVER see. Seriously they're effing amazing
Just discovered this band and I'm already loving it!!
It is terrifying, how I relate to every single line in this song. Just...wow...way to relate to your audience.
This song just resonates with my soul.
this has got to be my favorite song, out of every song in the world right now!
If youre seeing that comment, your taste in music is amazing
this song is amazing!!!! would love to see them in concert one day
I saw them in 2014. They’re incredible! :)
I wish Ive been to one of their concerts. I get goosebumps just listening to this song can't even imagine a whole performance. Thanks for the Lyrics:)
+casacasaful I've been to one of their concerts, they sound even better in person :D definitely worth it if they come to your area.
casacasaful i agree there concerts are excellent

Too kind. Thank you. Glad you enjoy it, that's the whole reason I did it. This band..words can't explain. I cannot wait for their next cd.
This is the kind of song you play for a girl, not that sappy R&B crap.
This is true emotion, right here.
I listen to this song at least five times a day.
Yeah this song is the shit. What I really like is that their songs are deep without having to be so damned abstract.

Love this band, good music for reasonable people thanks for helping through hard times with this music
Thanks so much! I just came upon this and I love it, getting shivers.
I'm going through some stuff with this girl I know.
I didn't know what to say to her and I was listening to music... This was in my "watch later" I just sent it to her... Thank you...
What do you feel about her? Someone send me this which we are argue a lot, but i dont get the meaning that much...
Man this really hits home for me,it's a sad but beautiful song.
I heard this song a few months ago but I didn't know who or what it was but I really liked it. Now I found it :) Thanks!
I feel my heart pounding and I think I might scream when is the new album coming out because I can't wait forever forever forever
Well, sort of.... It's the girl that's actually changing and beginning to question the relationship. She's becoming someone he doesn't know, he wants to stay together.

i really like this song.
This song is intoxicating. I can't help, but jam out whenevver i hear it.
RUclips needs an 'endless loop' button for songs like this.
I love everything about this band
This song is so beautiful and sends shivers down my back.
How could anyone dislike it? -_-
Great job on the lyrics. I believe at the end it's 'through the din of your breathing', not dim. Din is "a loud continued noise; especially : a welter of discordant sounds." Other than that, everything seemed perfect.
I really rely on guys like you nailing the lyrics so when I go to learn a song it's already there for me! So thank you for your effort and the great work here!
@Xandeth It might. I get 104.5 loud and clear even way down in Vineland, which is about fifty minutes southeast of Philly and is in that awkward segment of Jersey that might as well be Alabama.
Granted, Lancaster is pretty damn out there. I sometimes forget how big Pennsylvania is.
This lyrics tore my heart out and slapped it :(
I don’t know if that means you love this song or hate it
Absolutely love this song.
WOW! That was spectacular!
Kyle Davis I'm guessing you've never felt such feelings for someone........I know how it feels, well how it felt, to want something so badly even though you already have it but you don't know if that's what you truly want..........deep feelings are so confusing

This is my shit right here.
This song is my life........................................... just kidding but this band is up there right next to the beatles. Also thank you for making a lyric vid of this i never could find one
I love how the music changes
This song is about our fears and wanting to be in love and happy
love this song!
this is beautiful
OMG i love this song!
WHAT THE FUCK..... ONLY 55,589 VIEWS!!!!!!! I guess the people who viewed this has the right taste in music PS best fricken song of the century
@Krelus ooohhh vineland, that's tough. haha i get 104.5 out in ocean county but its occasionally staticy.
Airborne Toxic Event is like crack to my ears.
Based on Hitchhikers Game. Fascinating story!

@TheIrishIdiot31 Glad I could help!!
At 0:35 the guitar in the background kind of sounds like the theme song from Max and Ruby.

@FastFoodLifers1 Haha! I wouldn't say there's a problem with Alabama, but all of Alabama's stereotypes can pretty accurately be applied to Vineland.
aaaaAaaaAAaaAAAAAAAAA!!!! In a good way.
@BAMF115 Your username is really appropriate for this comment.
@Kae8Tay :D
Hey guys, what does this song mean to YOU? what do you feel that it is about?
Am I the only one who heard about this band after reading the book White Noise? Or are all of you those hip cool cats that are into indie music?
I totally just heard "and I think I'm ice cream." instead of "and I think I might scream." Wow. Good job, me. Dx
OMG THIS IS PEETA'S SONG TO KATNISS :D
