Silverstein - A Shipwreck In the Sand

[Outermainstream]

I wasn't really into this band. I liked some songs here and there but not enough to win me over. This album is my favorite by far. I may retry listening to their other work.

[Dabomb09funk]

why does it repeat the same words at the end of this and the end? has to mean something, dont know...

[houndoom51]

I get to see them for free on march 8th ;) haha but its gonna suck to sit threw the other bands becuase out of the list playing that night, i only like Silverstein xD

[uTrolled]

Follow your dreams, if u dont try u fail...

[ThatBigRugbyKid]

I get it, symbolism though... makes perfect sense.

[SlyVillin]

I use to listen to this song thinking it was all about the Captain's words over his crew, and that the crew could not do it any more. I have a GF and my best friend just got a new one, and his GF and my girlfriend have been fighting this whole week. I understand what this song means now. Its not about the Captain or the crew. Its about the ship. No one asked the ship what to do. No one one cares about others when every one thinks they are right.

[SirLawlcat]

@SlyVillin Fucking. Brilliant.

[Gurkmassa]

If I still was a kid, I would have wanted my parents to read this story for me before going to bed.

[ApplePie204]

It tells a story of betrayal and deceit among people who you thought were your men. But the part that really speeks to me is "There's no concrete found. No treasure in the ground. We won't die for this. We won't die for you."

Gives me the chills every damn timeXD

[andsoidie75]

@ApplePie204 I believe the lyrics say "there's no gold to be found."

But I wholeheartedly agree.

[ApplePie204]

@andsoidie75 Shit...you're right, I always get that part mixed up all the time:/

[houndoom51]

im a metalhead and i usually hate this kind of music but this song is so damn well done, i love it :)

[EDHtheauthor]

such an awesome song!

[steveantimo]

I'm utterly, speechless.

[WeChangeWeGrow]

Oh man this song speaks to me in so many ways...

[younguitarist182]

This songs so powerful just because of the intro.

[987angellove]

Best Song Ever ! <3

I Effin' Love Silverstein.

[VorrBloodoath]

I love silverstein they've got to be the best band ever the lyrics are so meaningful and incredible. By far one of their greatest songs and this album rocks.

[iiRegret]

My favorite song by Silverstein, EVER.

[TheCakemix123]

Just freaking awesome!!!!

[PatrickTheHattrick92]

i wish there was a video for this. would of been the best thing ever.

[Spokenrocker]

omg this i did not think it was going t be this good omg

[RockNRollNinj]

@KillerZombieCows72 Nope, the song is really about a husband and wife. But the wife betrayed the husband by cheating on him with his best friend. "This union was a battle fought and lost" resembles there relationship"it was never about love" is self explanatory. THe lyrics "just a brotherhood to stand for something " describes all he wanted was to be like brothers with his best friend, but now he can't since he betrayed him by going away with his ex-wife.

[RockNRollNinj]

@KillerZombieCows72 Nope, the album is a concept album. The songs really about a husband and wife and she betrayed his love by cheating on him with his best friend. The songs about how his love for her "this union was never about love" he's looking back on his memories.

[12hoyebr]

2 people's ships actually crashed into the sand...

[Xpmett]

First verse gave me a boner, chorus made me jizz.

[harisbinshafiq]

Great song........ better than before 3 albums...

[Nateman400]

@harisbinshafiq I wouldn't say better. Remember, "Oldies but the goodies." It is a pretty good match-up though.

[harisbinshafiq]

@Nateman400 agreed

[mapsxx]

gotta love the symbolism, just brilliant.

[Maplepelt12]

Thumbs up if LIGHTS brought you here <3

[korytyler21]

@Maplepelt12 Silverstein should bring you to lights, not the other way around =p

[mrcookieman100]

Every Fan Look Up "Transitions Ep" by Silverstein. It's awesome!.

[DreamingOfLonliness]

2 people are so idiots .-.

[IKilledTheSilence]

how could some1 thumb down this song?ooomeeegeee

[ToxicatedWound]

Totally amazed with it ; ]

[joakim1234567891]

Fuckin amazing song...(Y)

[12356cj]

A song worth Crying for It talks about war and peace T.T and being abandon by one person 2 another T.T

[bigpapasrobot]

This song is so badass. If it wasn't about the cause..battles lost..wasn't about the love..then what is it all for? that's the human spirit in a nuttshell..what the hell drives us to do the things we do. Rarely do I anaylize songs...fuck it imma just chill, sip some whiskey and draw something.

[lilshawty372]

Itunes has silverstein songs `-.-

[lilshawty372]

Lol me and my freind always cover this song :P

[Akki7Darkness]

Such a beautiful song.

This fills me with such emotion, I mean I can't even begin to explain. Ah, yes, but what did I expect, this IS Silverstein after all.

[twilightkissez]

This song is so afhdkjfhdskjdhfkdfhdskf dfhdsjfdsh i fucking love it man . Lmfao @XxM4RKoZxX x]

[1994Optical]

this song rules , =')

[Reptopia]

@yoyrut10000 haha =D

[Reptopia]

@yoyrut10000 sounds hawt :D so since itunes doesn't have it does he use i poons?

[Nick24Abuel]

Most comments are talking about masturbating... :P

[TheGoofySkater1]

you guys are gay, you cant get someone to give you a handy instead?

[taniegers]

@Reptopia LOL. MiyumiUchiha is right. You spelled masturbate wrong. ROFL. What are you doing? :)) You fucking responded to XxM4RKoZxX's comment then you don't know what you're saying? HAHA! LMFAO. It's masturbate not masterbait you fucking retarded human being.

[JayMann978]

@taniegers lol

[TheAlex409]

Every album tells a story just listen to it carefully or look up lyrics.

[theotherpena]

@ slayerrules86

The idea of a shipwreck in the sand is that it's completely irreversible. It kills your dreams, it crushes your plans. If your house burned down and you couldn't collect insurance, your life would literally be shipwrecked in the sand. It's a metaphor.

[dfmuk1]

listen to this at full volume, from 3.38, it fuckin sounds awesome!!!!!! i suggest u listen to it on ur ipod or music player n not youtube, just to get the full quality of it. Definitely silverstein at there best.

[xBoyBrushedRedx16]

PLEASE PELASE! someone PLEASE GET DECENT TABS FOR THIS SONG PLEASE!

[Hatredismypride]

This song is so hard to tab well at the beginning and verse was to easy for me but the ending part was so hard I can't tab it or ear it can someone help with the song

[alex2131415]

i love this song...perfect

[slayerrules86]

ha i have a question

what does a shipwreck in the sand have to do with a burning house?

[by0b367]

@slayerrules86 Near the middle of the cd, the point of the cd changes to a family who's house burned down and couldnt afford anything. It has nothing to do with a burning house.

[MrBurns86]

@slayerrules86 the album is a concept album and it talks about a broken home, etc etc

[pikda]

@slayerrules86 listen to the whole album, it tells a story... mainly the first song a great fire lol... that basically sums up the album cover

[slayerrules86]

@pikda i did that still doesnt answer my question though

[coreyhart1324]

this song is amazing silverstein is amazing they are my life in music without them i would have no need for music

[BT2907]

parts of the song are the same like the end of "the end" right? ^^

[runerat94]

correct..lol

[Reptopia]

@XxM4RKoZxX if you masterbait to music do you have porn on your ipod to listen?

[bombboy12521]

@Reptopia hahahahahahahaha

[MiyumiUchiha]

@Reptopia Nice, you spelled masturbate wrong.

[Reptopia]

@MiyumiUchiha LMAO

[DafwX]

@Reptopia Ya he does, its perfectly normal, I do it aswell :]

[Reptopia]

@DafwX LOL good to know :P

[22beepbeep22]

@Reptopia its spelled masturbate XD

[Patman968574]

@Reptopia Is it really that difficult to spell masturbate? If you are old enough to actually have the desire to mate, you should probably know how to spell such a overwhelmingly prominent word. 

[Reptopia]

@Patman968574 biky chicky biky biky wiky bow wah!

[mydadisahomo]

@Reptopia You spelled masterbate wrong.

[beckyboosaysmoo]

@mydadisahomo so did you.

[7ySayOcean]

@Reptopia you sir have one of the greatest logic I have ever seen and thats a compliment :)

[ShateielTheSilent]

@Reptopia 69 Thumbs up... :)

[rescueranger702]

Really...Nice To Know

[soadfan676]

holy shit, i thought i was the only one!

[MrSuperstar71]

@XxM4RKoZxX you are gay\

[Nick24Abuel]

@XxM4RKoZxX ow that`s a new style :D

[Nick24Abuel]

@XxM4RKoZxX woah dude.....u don`t have to say it in public xD

[tyakinsc123]

@Nick24Abuel Oh yes he does.... its proper respect XD

[Nick24Abuel]

@tyakinsc123 ahahaha ayt ayr xDD

[EmODemyx12]

@XxM4RKoZxX  UH-mazing..xD

[dAgUrLrOcK]

i love them!

[AddyCorruption]

it took me like 20 fucking mins to find the song, the others where intros and shit. ugh. favorite this bitch. :3.

[travisbauknecht]

it took me about 10 seconds to find this song haha but that must've sucked man

[Joshua4599]

I love this song like a fat kid loves a chocolate covered cake.

[magna378]

i love this song like a fatty loves mcdonalds

[SCRGproductions]

@Joshua4599 chocolate covered chocolate cake, with chocolate sprinkles, and chocolate milk

[Greenratta]

Great Song. *-*

[BiffDigs]

i think they keep getting better and better, this album is up-ing the talent level, if you want to call that bad then who cares what you think, silverstein is still rocking out and that's what matters, rock rock rock rock

[kingofdehsea]

i went to one of there shows and like 4 other bands played. out of all of the bands you could barely make out the notes besides this band

[littledrummer2009]

i saw them in dortmund.22.11.09 at the billy talent ´concert and there were very good i liked it.They've a new fan:me :)

[salvadier]

i saw them in Berlin one day later ;)

it's my favourite band =D

[Grungedude93]

good intro

[xxXxRawriFailxXxx]

I would KILL to see them :)<333

[NinjaCOOKIES34]

@xxXxRawriFailxXxx They are amazing live! I would KILL to see them again(:

[heloloko]

haha ilove the chorus....nice song for me..^_^

[368amiex3]

I'm going toooo :D I'm so excited can't wait !

[skaterpanny]

im going to see silverstein in december, cant wait :D

[thefallensoldiers95]

what are you people talking about, this album is amazing, every album from silverstein is amazing, no one can change my mind about that.

[kyler8]

I love silverstein but i must say this wasnt theyre best album.

i like it, no doubt about it but just dont like concept albums

[368amiex3]

I agree, their old albums were so much more better

[DazBraithwaite]

I like concept albums. Thought I'd check this one out... this is the first song i've listened to. Must say it's kind of disappointing - don't try to be political if you've got nothing interesting to say. And the singing's crap. I think i'm getting too old for this shit.

[XxSeraphWarriorxX]

u should try some of their songs from their older albums those songs are much better than this one

[FTGChris]

Shipwreck in the Sand is probably the worst song on the album lol

[AmazingSkillz]

aww that's horrible to say!

[FTGChris]

I'm just saying! I never said I didn't like it.. Just that the talking is different.

[postitnoteloveletter]

Best song on the album. Endofstory.<3

[Jennischn]

This song is kind of mysterious...I LOVE IT!!

[maliciousmike69]

this band is truly amazing, ive been listening to it out of order, and i still like it haha

i have something to say to the haters

go suck some dick, haters like you jus tneed to shut the fuck up and go to hell..

[pelucheninja]

OMFG i really love this band all their songs SILVERSTEIN ARE THE BEST )=D

[HylandEntertainMint]

oh really? cause this ENTIRE album makes 1 entire story, each song is like a chapter, its amazing and has a wonderful plot, enjoy real music

[dra23D]

yea i didnt noticed cuz im not english and my understanding is not that good =)

[naruto101101101]

OMG it does too :O!

[fawazie45]

@HylandEntertainMint Isn't it that he burns his girlfriends house down after she cheats on him?

[surviveRAWR]

@HylandEntertainMint Just like Alesana's The Emptiness album its all a big story.

[taylor189]

@HylandEntertainMint what about the covers...

[Kbblsnbits]

Are you kidding me.... This whole album is an absolute masterpiece. Every song on it flows and tells an amazing story. Listen to it all the way through, its awesome.

[sparksternator]

This is such an amazing song especailly the lyrics :D

[newbydeluxe]

this song shows how amazing and unique silvertein are...ba bam

[Told57]

c'est trop trop trop cool, ce groupe est une perle rare, et il est supra mignon Shane *o*

[JVfuzz]

WOW this song is awsome,

and i usually dislike stuff like this!!

[DanceNicoleDance]

the lyrics to this song are so amazing. :D

[fndfan69]

i agree

[emotionel22]

waaaaaaaaaaw I love this song,it amazing

[lllllbutch182lllll]

tnx for uploading ^^

[Dizc0unt]

This Is by far their best song ever

[DaizepBook08]

question:

Is this really emocore??

i like it even though i'm not emo!!!

[Unklesam7]

it sort of is. hey, i love emo/screamo/hardcore and all that stuff, but i'm not the least bit emo.

[mlee1994]

their old albums were emocore. the ones where they actually scream. this album's tech. term is altern/hard rock.

[xxpoisenandkissesxx]

Silverstein arnt actual emocore, theyre post-hardcore. There arnt many emocore bands left these days most were in the late 80's and 90's, the ones where they scream back in the day were just post hardcore. I remember when there was a phase around 2004/2005 where post hardcore had a huge boom in popularity with new bands coming in / being signed by victory records :D

[SecretSepp]

LOL your 15 year old

you followed the trend of emocore then you found information of it and now your acting like this typical...

[xxpoisenandkissesxx]

I havnt followed the trend of emocore wtf?

I didnt know you lived with me for 15 years of my life, im sorry. I'm just not ignorant. I just remember being in year 8 and alot of new bands coming in signed to victory. And its a known fact emo started in the late 80's. Dont try and patronise me based on my age, you do not know me and there's no reason for you to asume anything about me.

[SecretSepp]

oke

im sorry

[acdcfansince1994]

You go girl(or boy)=D

[xxpoisenandkissesxx]

screaming doesn't measure something being emocore, Sunny day real estate.

[wolle1508]

@DaizepBook08

thats post-hardcore...not emo ;)

[DaizepBook08]

oh I LOVE IT!!

I need to buy it immediately!!!

i go run to the next cd store and up into the CD player

wuah!!

It's wonderful... mjamm...

[acanham30]

i need this cd, its so awesome, great song too, favorite

[RoastDuck666]

Epic, simply a masterpeice =D

[Evelyn1494]

a shipwreck in the sand is musically impressive :) and this is my favourite song.

just beautiful <3

with everyday i love silverstein more xD <3

[Definetlykatex3]

shane's voice remind me of shia lebeouf (or however it's spelled).

i'm not sure why, it just does.

but i love this song:)

one of my favourites off of the album.

[ThisSubtleDagger]

Idk about you guys, but personally, I would LOVE to see a music video for this, fully animated, telling the story told in this song. A great ship, sailing through the waters, looking for new land with more resources, and the excited crew, becoming angry over time and overthrowing their captain. And the video ends with the ship, tattered and broken, with a dead crew on the shore of a new beautiful and vibrant land. Nothing but a shipwreck in the sand.

[Skerf2]

this sounds like a mix of Story of the year and Rise against

[GSrulz]

they copied my nickname coz my nicnames shipwreck

[jerbear5212]

this is a damn beautiful cd. musically that is

[HeyKendall]

I liked Arrivals and Departures just as much as I do this album. I don't see this epic difference that everyone is talking about. Its obvious that Shane was just being more personal with the lyrics in the last album. Whatever, Silverstein is the best.

[hoe0what]

this voice really reminds me of boysnightout album trainwreck, the voice and the same concept of a story in the album. overall amazing album, love silverstein :)

[ihatejihadists]

F**K everyone in this room. Silverstein is the best post hardcore band out there! Arrivals and Departures was awesome and so is the new album. Devenzz your an idiot!

[srryforowningu]

bodies and words was the only really good song on arrivals and depatures

[grannytorrence]

sound of the sun, if you could see into my soul (idk if it's on there), the sand will turn to glass, your sword vs. dagger is on discovering the waterfront i think but it's still dope

[pongrules12]

i love this CD ov3erall. it tells a story. thats awesome.

[rbrent666999]

i don't care what you people say, arrivals and departures was a good CD, and yes this one is better though

[devenzz]

wait

they made a good cd after that last piece of shit ?

[blaznblue]

hard to believe right?

[devenzz]

i don't see it

i think they lost my interest after they came out with that last cd

i have seen them live like 4 times they used to be great

[blaznblue]

that last cd turned me off as well, but this one is great. they've definitely advanced in their musicianship and song writing abilities. i like the balance of screaming/singing. i've seen them 3 times and they put on a great show

[mortenogjulie]

silverstein is back :$

[blaznblue]

yeah baby. arrivals and departures was shit but this new cd is amazing
