I liked them in '06 AND LISTENED to them harder in '07. It's a very interesting nontraditional ROCK/PROGRESSIVE/ whatever you call it. it may have not worked out for Serj so well, but I really wish he would keep it rolling. He has more then enough talent to keep this style of rock going today!!!!
Ray Reilly Too much to take for the average person. Most innovative bands don't get the credit they deserved. Its called being on a different wavelength.
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song on the radio...I was blown away. One of the most unique rock songs I've heard. This whole album was amazing. Still a banger in 2022
Same, It was something so uniquely different that I was hooked right from the start.. Hell, my entire body was feeling it.. From the back of my neck and ears, to the tips of my fingers and toes, a tingling sensation completely took over and I pretty much feel in love with their sound lmao..
As for the video, the giant helps people move from an unfertile land to a fertile land, where they do well, build a town, etc. Unfortunately, he also unwittingly provided a way for envious raiders (or some kind of antagonists) to get to the village and torch it. This really upsets the giant, and he falls to the ground in sadness/anger/etc. This opens up a fault line, water flows through it, etc. He gets up, finds some of the friendly folks, and he picks them up to go find a nice place somewhere, trudging through thick vines and the like.
TOOL, System of a Down, Rush, Alice In Chains, and a dash of Helmet and you get FTM. The world wasn’t ready and the ones who were are robbed of this brilliance.
I watched them live opening for Serj Tankian and their performance completely overshadowed him - I've never been so in awe of an opening band in my whole life -- talked to them after the show and they were selling merch just to be able to eat and make it to the next stop on tour, but they were better than the act they were setting up.
Brandon Hackbarth Darroh is amazing! When I first heard them, I thought there were at least two singers. It wasn’t until I saw their music video Musical Chairs did I realize it was all Darroh. Insane talent. And such clever lyrics.
@@m.j.mbrooks1859 he was equally talented live. Saw them years ago when they toured with Flyleaf. Must have been like 2010. His range was just as impressive live. Also met Cliff (guitarist) ended up talking to him for like 30 minutes before their set and about 20 minutes after. Super chill dude.
@@avfd110403 Cliff was the nicest guy I ever met. In 2005, 2006ish me and a group of friends, while in college outside of Dallas went to get some pizza and saw him sitting there by himself eating. Went and struck up a conversation, he asked if we were going to the show that night and we said of course. We talked to him for 20-30 minutes. Sadly that was the only time I saw them live.
My uncle was in this band when they were in high school and about 2 or 3 years after. They got in a fight and he quit.... but he was the drummer. He still rocks the drums! He played very few concerts but still. He did great! In this video he IS the one playing the drums!!! His name is Jason Pintler and I love him to death!!!🥁🥁
The vocalist is exceptionally interesting. He incorporates kind of a weird vibrato in his voice that I've never really heard used before. I kind of like it
Saw them once in concert. Singer looked so scared, nervous, fragile. First note hits of the first song, and this dude comes RUNNIN SENTON straight into us like Darby Allin or Homicide. What a show.
Wondered wtf i was listening the first time I heard this song... listened to it for the 2nd and 3rd time, then listened to the rest of "Fables From a Mayfly" and realized that this is easily one of the best prog rock bands ive ever heard, not that I know too many... xD
I'm glad you found them... All their albums are amazing in their own ways. What you should really focus on are the lyrics, they are true beauty. Daroh and the band write the music so that you can interpret it your own individual way and it'll still be amazing.
I can remember hearing this for the first time on our local rock station many moons ago, and I was instantly hooked. The lead singers vocals are ones that stick with you..Totally unique. This band was so underrated IMO. This song will always take me back to listening to this with my ex..He has since passed but this song will always take me back to a better time and amazing memories. RIP Michael B...
I met Cliff on a Jobsite in Tyler Tx... hes a framer... awesome dude... i was installing cabinets and JAMMING Emery and he came over said hes a huge Emery fan... Hes starting a new heavy rock band!!!
FTM have a unique melodic sound and simultaneous synchronicity. Those things mixed together with the lyrical wordplay its an amazing combination to listen to.
The rest of this album is just as good...these guys got me through a rough patch in my life, and I will never forget them..Fair to Midland, FIRE \\\M///
Yea I got to meet the whole band in atlantic city they lead off followed by 10 years and then flyleaf but after they played which was awesome so much heavier live but they came out to thier T-shirt and CD stand and actually sold thier own merchandise and I bought this disc and they all signed it for me was a great time
I'm SO HAPPY that I got to see them in concert before they split. They have to be THE MOST UNDERRATED band of all time. Seeing them with 10 Years (seen them four times) was a bonus. c:
I remember when a guy I worked with at Starbucks in 2004-06 in Fresno was super tight with FTM, and he got some advance copies of this song and their album and I was blown away. I was sure they were gonna blow up, and I guess that’s the music business
I had this one song in my iTunes since middle school in 2007, now I'm in college and just decided to add the rest of this album and their newest one a few weeks ago. Holy shit this an amazing and unique band all together. If any of you haven't experienced their full albums you are missing out. I highly recommend buying all their songs
After over two years I discovered this band I'm still so in love with it. When I listen to all their songs, even their old demos, I feel they were different. Music has never touched me so deeply before FTM. If you like them you have to listen to the demos, they're even better than the original songs, they feel a lot more authentic.
I remember this gym my dad used to take me to in high school that's not open anymore. The music they played was from the XM Radio Rock station and they played this song all time and never said what it was called. Almost ten years later and I have found it. I miss working out at that rundown gym, lol.
Such a shame they broke up, they had such a unique sense for melody. I remember not being able to stop listening to them for about a year after I found them. I highly recommend you to check out Pregnant Whale Pain, they will definitely help fill the void FTM has left. Incredible young band with an original sound, hopefully they don't have to go down the same road as FTM and manage to have a long career.
+Andrew Schumacher Holy fuck. Thank you so much for the rec man. Just listened to a few of their songs, they're brilliant. That half second stop in When Home Is Wrong? holy shit. The singer's vocal range is fucking massive too. I'll be spreading the word about them for sure
+Oswald Norton haha no problem man. So awesome everytime I tell someone about PWP, they're not just liking them but they give me this "holy fucking shit this is amazing" reaction.
I was the same way. A friend had a bootleg he played for me with most of the songs from this album plus some others, which sounded like they recorded themselves. I actually liked that version much better than the way the song ultimately turned out on the final album. Still, an amazing and unique sounding band that always gravitate towards. I hope they come out of hiatus.
My brother and I used to listen to this song on the way to two a day football practice back in 2007. He was a sr and I was a sophomore and it was the best season we had! 🤘
Saw these guys live with Chevelle in 2008. The lead singer went completely berserk on stage. I've never seen anything like it. This song really stood out live. Very, very good.
I miss seeing FTM when they came to dallas. Their best show was at Edgefest.. Darroh climbed up the lighting and hung upside down above the stage while still nailing his insane vocals.. I really wish they were still a thing.
This is the only band I have Pre-ordered an album from. Still got my shirt that came with it :D Fair To Midland has always been one of my favorite bands. Their Music can Send me to a beautiful place
So underrated. The whole album is perfect from start to finish. I am truly grateful to have gotten to hear this gem of a band. This album has been my rotation for a very long time. It's like a friend to me, I will always love it.
They're otherworldly perfect! Just fuking awesome! I still can't believe they're done... Drowned in debts... They should be rich couse they deserve, they're so very talented and creative, one of the best bands on freaking planet earth!
I have always loved this band it's my go to music. They should have got noticed more on their special qualities. Meaningful thought out lyrics, powerful music and an awesome voice. They have/had it all!
I own all their albums. They are all good, very good, BUT this album is CLEARLY their Magnum Opus. simply perfection. Every song is excellent, with this being the crown jewel of the album.
My friend told me to look this song up. This has to be the most unique rock sound I've heard. It's like a cross between a bunch of different singers and guitars and epicness. PS the art is amazing
One of the best songs and albums, top to bottom, I've heard in the past decade - easily in my personal top 20 or 30 of all time - and yet somehow nobody I know has ever heard of it. I feel both fortunate to call it "mine" and sad that it's not known and appreciated by all.
I remember the first album Brett gave me, The Carbon Copy Silver Lining. I may still have it on my old mac book but the cd is long gone. I miss it 😢 cant find that album anywhere.
Take a little dive into the shallow or spy what do you see, I see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race, And it fits like a glove under my sleeve, Just wait till then, Their heads are the heaviest of operation, He has still not lost imagination, I can hear him mouth the whole ending, Just wait till then, We marys had ourselves a ball, Oh, yes we did, We marys had ourselves a ball, I must admit, Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue, Those told to hold: Project on my cue, Until we fall. Whether a he or a she, put your mouth where your money is, Are the birds of a feather that clever, If I knew I'd keep locks; that's a given, Just wait till then, Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers, Still small enough to fit up their asses, To put it all into perspective with definition, We marys had ourselves a ball, Oh, yes we did, We marys had ourselves a ball, I must admit, Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue, Those told to hold: Project on my cue, Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall, Not needy you'll see, not needy, And I come with open arms over trees, Not needy you'll see, Listen to proven guarantees while you're rollin' up the sleeves, Beatin' on your chest, But we can keep it in a jar when it's comin' cats and dogs for days, We marys had ourselves a ball and I guarantee, And what they've done for you, they've done for me.
Omg, I've been looking for this song for years!!! I used to listen to it all the time and for years couldn't remember the song title or band name. I'm so excited to have found it
Been listening to this band for 16 years and still can't understand how whenever I tell someone to listen to them their response is always, "who the $@#! is that?!?"...shame they had financial problems..
I could honestly say they are the most kickass band to see on stage. They put on such a great show and the lead singer climbed the poles holding the stage up all the way in about 2 seconds and he was holding on and singing and urging the crowd to move at the same time from up there. I totally wish i could go back to that. Fair to Midland Rocks!!
Saw them in a small venue, less than 100, and I was moving the whole time. Someone looked at me like I was an idiot. IDGAF, how can you not, their live shows were amazing.
Видеоклипы
We miss you. We think of you. We still cherish your art in 2024. Thank you.
We certainly, certainly do.
One of the best bands to ever grace the Earth.
@@nimhardfacts
CRIMINALLY underrated band.
I liked them in '06 AND LISTENED to them harder in '07. It's a very interesting nontraditional ROCK/PROGRESSIVE/ whatever you call it. it may have not worked out for Serj so well, but I really wish he would keep it rolling. He has more then enough talent to keep this style of rock going today!!!!
Ray Reilly Apparently the band stopped because of financial reasons.
I've heard that also. It's disappointing because they had an awesome, but unique sound that not many bands bring to light nowadays.
Ray Reilly
Too much to take for the average person. Most innovative bands don't get the credit they deserved. Its called being on a different wavelength.
Same thing with Karnivool and Rishloo, but well, maybe that makes them even more unique!!! :D
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song on the radio...I was blown away. One of the most unique rock songs I've heard. This whole album was amazing. Still a banger in 2022
Same, It was something so uniquely different that I was hooked right from the start.. Hell, my entire body was feeling it.. From the back of my neck and ears, to the tips of my fingers and toes, a tingling sensation completely took over and I pretty much feel in love with their sound lmao..
Bro, I LOVE this song and band. They opened for Chevelle in Nashville back in about 2008ish and it was amazing
isn't it incredible how something like this was even aired on mainstream radio back then? So much interesting things to discover back then...
The vocals are absolutely outstanding. The song is so well written with a melody that kills all the way through. Great tune!
@@crandgaard that's where I saw them too. When Rocketown was still underground.
The Charismatic Voice needs to analyze this dude's voice. So unique.
She could break down their whole discography. One of the best Progressive Rock/Metal bands out there before they split
His Adams Apple was constantly bruised, because he would grab it with the index finger and a thumb, and just shake the fuck out of it!
Ey, RUclips, how the fuck do I like a comment dozens of times????
Agreed
No idea what the song is about.
No idea what the video is about.
Don’t care. This song rocks my freaking soul to a million pieces.
Right!
Its about prostitution and the purist who persecuted them. Marys is an old term for prostitutes
As for the video, the giant helps people move from an unfertile land to a fertile land, where they do well, build a town, etc. Unfortunately, he also unwittingly provided a way for envious raiders (or some kind of antagonists) to get to the village and torch it. This really upsets the giant, and he falls to the ground in sadness/anger/etc. This opens up a fault line, water flows through it, etc. He gets up, finds some of the friendly folks, and he picks them up to go find a nice place somewhere, trudging through thick vines and the like.
how can this rock your soul to a million pieces if you have no idea of what its about?
This song is way too deep to explain with a few words but know that it has nothing to do with prostitution.
ladies and gentlemen, the most underrated band
I could not agree more. I am SO HAPPY that I got to see them live before they split. They have to be my #1 favorite...
People say that about a lot of bands.
Seth Makibbin Productions No there are bands that are way more underrated
underrated bands do not have a million views
I can honestly not think of a more underrated band out there
Yeah :D
croix89 grazie per avermela fatta conoscere, è una bomba sto pezzo!
Il tuo poster mi ha portato qui! Sto gruppo è fantastico
@croix89 Cazzo fai qui?!
GRAZIE, OMMIOFUCKINGDIO che stupro emotivo
Luca Pucci Era*
*Sad piano*
Cannot get over them, man. They're just unforgettable... An enigma. An incredible band... Love them to this day.
Exactly man... I discovered them in YT by chance, 2 years ago and can never get over they had to split. A true miracle of a band.
It's hard to believe Darroh does all of the vocals. He has such a versatile voice, it's insanely amazing.
he reminds me of mike patton...
@@kimmyfreak200I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks that!
This was the first song I heard from them, 1,000,000% thought it was 2 vocalists. Absurd talent.
Inhuman... absolutely beast of a singer
@@nimhard 12 years later, I stand by my first comment, and I'm glad you do, too! :)
Of all of the bands I want a comebacks from, this is the number 1 on that list.
agreed
as do i
Fair To Midland, Silverchair and Minus The Bear for me
FTM is #6 through #1 for bands I want back!
TOOL, System of a Down, Rush, Alice In Chains, and a dash of Helmet and you get FTM. The world wasn’t ready and the ones who were are robbed of this brilliance.
AGREED
They are still ahead of their time
I watched them live opening for Serj Tankian and their performance completely overshadowed him - I've never been so in awe of an opening band in my whole life -- talked to them after the show and they were selling merch just to be able to eat and make it to the next stop on tour, but they were better than the act they were setting up.
I remember hearing this song on the radio when it came out. The radio DJ described them as a combination of Mudvayne and Asia. He wasn't wrong lol.
TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact that I'm never going to see this band live in my life makes me cry. Their music changed my life. Love from India. FTM 4ever.
Yup :((
Somu, great comment & me too✌💗
Did the band make u start using toilets
Saw them support Serj Tankian after he signed them to his label, amazing gig, so much energy and so good live. Sorely missed are this band.
They were amazing the two times i went to see them.
Who's still listening to FTM in 2019?
Just recently knew them through Rishloo's AMA
Stfu
And in 2049. This shit got me hard. In both senses.
Yep
I almost forgot about this awesome album.
Love the diverse vocals. All around a very ear catching song. Need more music like this. Love it love it etc.
Brandon Hackbarth Darroh is amazing! When I first heard them, I thought there were at least two singers. It wasn’t until I saw their music video Musical Chairs did I realize it was all Darroh. Insane talent. And such clever lyrics.

@@ericnicklas1512 you know him?
Yes. Terry.
Darrow hanging upside down from the rafters singing his heart out, the synergy between him and Cliff....MISS these guys
I saw that in Cedar Rapids, IA!
The vocalist is exceptionally interesting. He incorporates kind of a weird vibrato in his voice that I've never really heard used before. I kind of like it
He does this thing where he wobbles his fingers on his addams apple to get that effect. Singer from the band nothing more does it sometimes aswell.
He uses a special technique by using his stomach and shoulders to get close to 2 notes out which can cause that weird vibrato
Hes just as epic live.
me and a friend were talking about that earlier and we couldn’t lay a finger on how he does it
The Mars Volta's singer does that as well
This song was so underrated. It's just pure perfection!
Saw them once in concert. Singer looked so scared, nervous, fragile. First note hits of the first song, and this dude comes RUNNIN SENTON straight into us like Darby Allin or Homicide. What a show.
i'm still coming back for this one
i miss them
this is UNIQUE
I just miss y'all so much. This was such a great band.
same here. im from Dallas, and its so odd that my favorite band is from here too
+Ulises Lopez I just miss them. It makes me pout like a little kid.
Darroh gave me his sweaty headband aftrr their perforamance. I was like super star struck lol
+Ulises Lopez omg. I'd cherish it forever.
+Nix A Just discovered them. Kinda dissapointed I just found them.

2023, I’m still here from Italy
Dang Attack on Titan season three looks lit
Lmao
Isayama had to start somewhere.
LOL “season 3” 😂😂😂
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG FOR 9 YEARS
Really hope they get back together one day.. a great group of guys who make incredible music.
FTM have a unique melodic sound and simultaneous synchronicity. Those things mixed together with the lyrical wordplay its an amazing combination to listen to.
2023 and still awesome
it is true, that the bigger they are, the harder they fall, but a helping hand, transcends all
The rest of this album is just as good...these guys got me through a rough patch in my life, and I will never forget them..Fair to Midland, FIRE \\\M///
Meet the lead singer several years ago. he was humble and nice guy
Kurt Lohmann he used to be my vocal teacher :)
Yea I got to meet the whole band in atlantic city they lead off followed by 10 years and then flyleaf but after they played which was awesome so much heavier live but they came out to thier T-shirt and CD stand and actually sold thier own merchandise and I bought this disc and they all signed it for me was a great time
Wish we could fund raise to bring these guys back. My all time favourite group.
Sometimes I day dream about winning the lottery and offering these guys a lot of money to get back together and play a reunion show
I'm SO HAPPY that I got to see them in concert before they split. They have to be THE MOST UNDERRATED band of all time. Seeing them with 10 Years (seen them four times) was a bonus. c:
2022 and still believe they are Underrated. Love this band. Still listening to this day. Like if you are still here listening.
Here in 2021 still jamming this song
I remember when a guy I worked with at Starbucks in 2004-06 in Fresno was super tight with FTM, and he got some advance copies of this song and their album and I was blown away. I was sure they were gonna blow up, and I guess that’s the music business

Music has never touched me so deeply before FTM. If you like them you have to listen to the demos, they're even better than the original songs, they feel a lot more authentic.
What are the demos called?
I miss this band so much, I still listen to this album once a week since 2007
By far, THE most underrated band of all time... I am so lucky to have seen them live.
Me too man. Great live
Thank you Hungry Lights!
this singer has got some pipes!!! so versatile
First time I seen them was with Evans blue at the intersection in grand rapids. That was 15 years ago. I still jam to them.
I remember this gym my dad used to take me to in high school that's not open anymore. The music they played was from the XM Radio Rock station and they played this song all time and never said what it was called. Almost ten years later and I have found it. I miss working out at that rundown gym, lol.
Cliff Campbell is a genius.
I know , he is my best friend.
2022 still a fucking great and way ahead of it's time band.
I just want them to know that years later they are still beloved & my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND!
They are my favorite as well😊
I miss these guys so much man.
Such a shame they broke up, they had such a unique sense for melody. I remember not being able to stop listening to them for about a year after I found them.

Opened up for these guys when I was in Loop 13 back in 01-04
Saw these guys live with Chevelle in 2008. The lead singer went completely berserk on stage. I've never seen anything like it. This song really stood out live. Very, very good.
2022 and this is still a banger!
Agreed criminally underrated
Guaranteed if this rereleased this year it would be way up there in the charts
Takes me back, saw them open for 10 years and flyleaf
Saw this band with 10 years and Flyleaf.. They were amazing. This is one of the first songs I heard by them and probably my favourite.
it took me seven years to find this song o.o it used to play all the time on the radio in 2007
103.1 the Buzz

You're right! they sing like it's ba da bing ba da boom!
Lol
I watched them be born in a small town in east Texas. I miss them mucho. nothing like them.
I have always loved this band it's my go to music. They should have got noticed more on their special qualities. Meaningful thought out lyrics, powerful music and an awesome voice. They have/had it all!
I can't believe it's been three years since this song!
Good god this is sad to see 10 years later.
I still freakin love these guys! 2019!!
still a gem in 2019
I own all their albums. They are all good, very good, BUT this album is CLEARLY their Magnum Opus. simply perfection. Every song is excellent, with this being the crown jewel of the album.
Jesus, i miss these guys
Just found this band. They are dope.
Welcome!
Thanks Spotify for recommending this song! I might be over a decade late finding this song, but I'm glad this one's added to my list now.
I might be a year late to this comment but check out the whole album if you havent. It's awesome!
@@hihijedi2Of only they could come back😢
Please come back. What will it take?
My friend told me to look this song up. This has to be the most unique rock sound I've heard. It's like a cross between a bunch of different singers and guitars and epicness. PS the art is amazing
The same art used in this video is used in the CD booklet.
the nostalgia is real

I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG...
One of the best songs and albums, top to bottom, I've heard in the past decade - easily in my personal top 20 or 30 of all time - and yet somehow nobody I know has ever heard of it. I feel both fortunate to call it "mine" and sad that it's not known and appreciated by all.
I remember the first album Brett gave me, The Carbon Copy Silver Lining. I may still have it on my old mac book but the cd is long gone. I miss it 😢 cant find that album anywhere.
It should be on here
im disappointed, not a single manatee in this entire video
Ti ringrazio Merrino.
+Adolfo Adolfi No :)
Out of all the broken up bands out there, I wish this one would reunite the most.
Still here in 2018. I love this band, I miss them terribly
Take a little dive into the shallow or spy what do you see,
I see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race,
And it fits like a glove under my sleeve,
Just wait till then,
Their heads are the heaviest of operation,
He has still not lost imagination,
I can hear him mouth the whole ending,
Just wait till then,
We marys had ourselves a ball,
Oh, yes we did,
We marys had ourselves a ball,
I must admit,
Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue,
Those told to hold: Project on my cue,
Until we fall.
Whether a he or a she, put your mouth where your money is,
Are the birds of a feather that clever,
If I knew I'd keep locks; that's a given,
Just wait till then,
Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers,
Still small enough to fit up their asses,
To put it all into perspective with definition,
We marys had ourselves a ball,
Oh, yes we did,
We marys had ourselves a ball,
I must admit,
Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue,
Those told to hold: Project on my cue,
Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall,
Not needy you'll see, not needy,
And I come with open arms over trees,
Not needy you'll see,
Listen to proven guarantees while you're rollin' up the sleeves,
Beatin' on your chest,
But we can keep it in a jar when it's comin' cats and dogs for days,
We marys had ourselves a ball and I guarantee,
And what they've done for you, they've done for me.
Thanos, Rohan
That is hard af to sing this vocalist is legit
Austin Miller I know, I can reach the low scream no problem thanks to Justin Bonits and some practice but those highs kill me

upside down from the rafters during that.
this band had energy.
THE BEST BAND EVER
Omg, I've been looking for this song for years!!! I used to listen to it all the time and for years couldn't remember the song title or band name. I'm so excited to have found it
Thumbs up for that Texas gold prospector scream
This comment section ain't big enough fer the both of us
just coming back before '22 is over
I miss this band so much.....they are seriously my Pandora hit number 1
this is the sort of message the masses need but won't get.
whats the message? the lyrics make no sense to me
I'm honestly shocked this video still doesn't have a million views. This song is amazing and it's part of a fantastic album!
Done!
most amazing live performances i've ever seen
Been listening to this band for 16 years and still can't understand how whenever I tell someone to listen to them their response is always, "who the $@#! is that?!?"...shame they had financial problems..
I could honestly say they are the most kickass band to see on stage. They put on such a great show and the lead singer climbed the poles holding the stage up all the way in about 2 seconds and he was holding on and singing and urging the crowd to move at the same time from up there. I totally wish i could go back to that. Fair to Midland Rocks!!
Saw them in a small venue, less than 100, and I was moving the whole time. Someone looked at me like I was an idiot. IDGAF, how can you not, their live shows were amazing.
