Whether you like this version or the Catch 22 version, all i can say is wow. this song is incredible...i hear the mainstream music of late and it makes me mad. THIS is music. Why is shitty music acceptable now-a-days, and artists like Streetlight Manifesto go mostly un-noticed? i just don't understand
The way he transitions from "maybe I'll see you there" to the more definite "I'll see you there" really gets me. He probably doesnt believe in a God or a Heaven so he says maybe he'll see her there, but by the end he's so sad and alone he says it in a definite way because he needs to see her there, even if he doesnt believe. Damn this song is sad.
@Insanatey haha, chill bro, i was just joking around, im sorry if i offended you, as that was not my intent. i was just goofing off =)
But i did find it odd that you don't think that he believes in any sort of Deity at all, or any Heaven concept, as almost every single religion has at least one of those, and he has mentioned (or alluded to) some of theese topics in his songs.
As for whether he believes in a God...eh im not sure. In many songs he mocks Christianity and points out problems with it (40 days) and he says that he likes to see "in shades of grey" so yeah. Maybe he does, maybe he doesnt but im pretty sure he doesnt believe in heaven which was my point up there^^ Who knows, it's up to Tom.
First show I did with my band, I was in my gym clothes, I was sick, and we played this as our first song, then we played it again as our last song. :D

there to many haters were i live but this bad KICKS ASS me and my best friend made a band because of streetlight call hedgehog to the face love streetlight
every part of it is a distinguished cord. the lyrics mixed in with the drums stands out. even my friend used this songs lyrics for a monologue and won the contest because of these lyrics. brilliant my friends
@thejumpinjohnny I've been thinking that for years and saying nothing. I am suprised and at the same time not suprised that my thoughts were the same as others in this case
You people piss me off. It's fucking music, just listen. Stop debating over useless shit that won't matter when you wake up tomorrow. If you really need something to do, go masturbate or something, and stop filling beautiful amazing music with pointless arguments about who is better. It doesn't really matter. The music was still created for us to enjoy, was it not? So do it what it was made for, ENJOY IT. Sit back n listen, dont hunch over n type. You all must have really strong fingers.
Anybody know if this song is about someone or just a story he wrote? Either way it's very creative and paints a vivid picture. I can see the lady telling her kids she's ok and then sobbing when they go out to play, etc. A very tough subject to cover but done beautifully.
well, Tomas Kalnoky wrote the music, at least thats as far as i know.. but he was the singer/guitarist in both bands, catch 22 and streetlight manifesto... Tomas is known to re-do alot of his past creations with other bands, just like his old band Gimp.. they had a song called Super Nothing, he then joined catch 22, and re did it with them, same with streetlight manifesto, so really i just think Tomas wrote it, but it was originally recorded with catch 22, this is just a remake.
ah okay thanks. i've been wondering that for a while lol. and i didn't know catch and streetlight had the same singer/guitarist. i actually don't really like catch 22 lol.
Yea Tom Kalnoky wrote Keasbey Nights with Catch 22, then he left the band soon after and eventually started Streetlight. Then Victory Records was going to re-release the album with some extra content on it, but instead Kalnoky re-recorded it with Streetlight.
You're right. But grammar and spelling are the corner stones to how you present yourself. Especially online when this is all people have to understand you. laziness is not an excuse and ignorance is not bliss.
I found this song i've been lookin for for a year by actually looking up streetlight on iTunes. Thats kinda sad for me tho cuz i've been listening to these guys since the Catch 22 days. just never got a hold of the albums
I love this song I love this band I love ska. Fav part in the song "Don't wait for me, you got a lot to do and a lot to be and in the end maybe I will see you there!" STREETLIGHT MANIFESTO come tour Toronto PLEASE!!
I think Tomas had to re-record the album becuase it was all his lyrics, it meant something to him, not to catch. So I would re-record it, I wouldn't let my old band have the songs I wrote and meant so much to me, Especially if I wrote a song like this. Sad Song :(
ya you would get attached to them but just taking the songs from all your old band mates is so fucked up. i dont know if ur in a band but if someone in my band did that i would kill them
Straight up, Thomas wrote all the music he wrote the sax, he wrote the bass, he wrote the drums, he wrote everything, they then kicked him out of the band, and as Jonnypd1 said the lyrics meant something to him and he also didnt want it to sound like crap, which it did because thomas was the only skilled musician in Catch 22.
you know nothing of tomas kalnoky's past. stop trying please. tomas is amazing, but saying every other member of catch 22 wasnt skilled is fucking stupid. old catch was amazing, they ALL were. sure they arent as good now heck, they suck. But tomas CHOSE to leave for school. They didnt kick him out.
your fucking retarded...he doesnt even know how to play any of those intruments... exsept guitar.... you really thought he wrote (EVERYTHING) i mean hes a song writing genius, but he aint that talented. the only thing he did was write the lyrics, the guitar, and kinda humed what he wanted the main horn line to sound like. so dont go telling people what your telling people cause your wrong.
hey, before you get all ignorant about it, he could be musically inclined and composed all the parts. that's what i did with my last band. he could have made all the harmonies on guitar or piano and write them for the musicians. Were you there when he was "humming those horn parts"? I think not. "so dont go telling people what your telling people cause your wrong"
ha ha i agree, i actually get that alot... why is my spelling soo bad..... i never thought my grammer was that terrible tho... what makes you say that?
ska has never been about being sucksessful its about doin what u love for the love of it as much as i love streetlight and want everyone to know who they thats part of what makes them special
I'm not saying he needs to get a record out every six months, I'm just saying would it kill him to get a record out once every 2 years, instead of 3? I love this band to death but after having them be around and following them for what 7 years? Kinda makes me wish they had more than 22 songs. (I don't count Keasbey because he wrote it before SM.)
Plenty of bands write quality material in much shorter time. Tom himself admits that his perfectionism makes him delay way longer than necessary.
ya i wish there were more songs too than just 22..... i dont count keasbey nights either only cause i never really listen to it by sm i only listen to it by catch... exsept dear sergio and this one goes out too i like sm versions alot.... anyway waht about 99 songs that should be out soon... that will keep us busy untill the next record comes out.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Even though you are getting uber-thumbs downed for saying that, it's true. Catch 22 version of As the Footsteps Die Out Forever is soooooooooo much better...the song doesn't feel right when it switches it's guitar at 1:07...but if you listen to Catch 22's Keasbey Nights version (or better yet the EP), it sounds a lot better, and correct for this song.
Every night for three long weeks, she'd roam the hallways half asleep. And as the footsteps fade away, in my mind I could swear, I could swear I heard her say...
The whole catch versus streetlight debate can be summed up in my opinion, that Catch offered more raw and vibrant sound, whereas Streetlight offers a mature and refined sound. The band members are getting older, and so there musical ability is becoming perfected but the raw passion of their youth, like all men, is becoming tempered and organized. It is not a question of superiority, but a preference, and realistically, why not have both? Just Damn Good, all around. Damn Good stuff.
tom cant sing like he used to hes more mellow and relaxed catchs versions have alot more exitment and energy thats why i like emm better than streetlight. and this song is about a girls mom dieing so whose mom was it? message me please
id hate to add to the whole catch v streetlight argument but i do enjoy the rawness of tomas' vocals in catch but the quality of tone and musicianship in streetlight cant be matched by any of the bands out there now
:( disapointed....tomas just cant scream the same way he used to, like in gimp, or in catch. wheres the the feeling and emotion. im sorry but catch's vesion is way better. go listen to it, sure the quality is better... but i just dont feel it.
JESUS CHRIST, people just enjoy the song...he rerecored it whatever its how he wants it now and it doesnt matter which you think is better. THEY ARE BOTH REALLY GOOD VERSIONS.
I like both Streetlight and Catch 22s Keasbey Nights albums. I enjoy the gritty sounds from Catch 22's, but to me it sounds like on some songs, Tomas added and changed parts of the songs for Streetlight. Even though, like I said, I'm a fan of both versions, overall, Streetlight's just sounds more complete and well-done.
ok, tomas did rerecord it because he didnt like how it sounded, but that doesnt mean other people cant like it more. personally i like streetlights version better, but everyone has their own opinion. Tomas is a perfectionist, meaning it has to sound perfect TO HIM..... What he likes may not be what others like....
unfortunately you kids dont know shit. catch's keasbey nights is a classic ska album, it was meant to sound gritty. this isnt shit compared to the orignial
Lol, it may be a classic ablum, though you mate don't know shit. If the album was meant to sound gritty why would the creator of the songs re-record it in better quality ? ? I mean he even says at the end of "1234 1234" that he'd been wanting to re-record it for ages, as the sound quality wasn't very good before. Well he says garbage, which I disagree with as I like catch 22's rawness of the songs. It's suits the era it came from. Though that was because they were just starting out as a band :)
The Catch 22 versions were all recorded with the quality of a chimp scratching his ass and smoothing it onto a CD. Tomas specifically re-recorded the entire album because he wanted to record it the way it was MEANT to sound.
The Catch 22 version is very unpolished compared to the Streetlight version.
ACDC i know wha ur talkin about all of the catch 22 songs seen to sound better like 1234 is one of my favorite catch 22 songs but streetlights version isnt great
i completely agree i just wana hear the original catch 22 versions the streetlight ones are like all speeded up a little it seems..idk i just prefer the original catch
this is def from the original keasbey and i have a real connection with this song because my aunt pretty much went through what this song sings in the lyrics, so i get really emotional whenever i hear this song, but its still one of my favorites
@DXforeva94 it probably made them too sad, but i dont c how this song has to do with fear as a manipulation device

The whole catch versus streetlight debate can be summed up in my opinion, that Catch offered more raw and vibrant sound, whereas Streetlight offers a mature and refined sound. The band members are getting older, and so there musical ability is becoming perfected but the raw passion of their youth, like all men, is becoming tempered and organized. It is not a question of superiority, but a preference, and realistically, why not have both? Just Damn Good, all around. Damn Good stuff.

id hate to add to the whole catch v streetlight argument but i do enjoy the rawness of tomas' vocals in catch but the quality of tone and musicianship in streetlight cant be matched by any of the bands out there now

Kalnoky is an amazing lyricist, the way he writes all their songs and how open the songs are to interpretation is absolutely brilliant.
Living legend.

:( disapointed....tomas just cant scream the same way he used to, like in gimp, or in catch. wheres the the feeling and emotion. im sorry but catch's vesion is way better. go listen to it, sure the quality is better... but i just dont feel it.

I like both Streetlight and Catch 22s Keasbey Nights albums. I enjoy the gritty sounds from Catch 22's, but to me it sounds like on some songs, Tomas added and changed parts of the songs for Streetlight. Even though, like I said, I'm a fan of both versions, overall, Streetlight's just sounds more complete and well-done.
adavis231 2 years ago
ok, tomas did rerecord it because he didnt like how it sounded, but that doesnt mean other people cant like it more. personally i like streetlights version better, but everyone has their own opinion. Tomas is a perfectionist, meaning it has to sound perfect TO HIM..... What he likes may not be what others like....

Lol, it may be a classic ablum, though you mate don't know shit. If the album was meant to sound gritty why would the creator of the songs re-record it in better quality ? ? I mean he even says at the end of "1234 1234" that he'd been wanting to re-record it for ages, as the sound quality wasn't very good before. Well he says garbage, which I disagree with as I like catch 22's rawness of the songs. It's suits the era it came from. Though that was because they were just starting out as a band :)

Ya'll don't know jack.
The Catch 22 versions were all recorded with the quality of a chimp scratching his ass and smoothing it onto a CD. Tomas specifically re-recorded the entire album because he wanted to record it the way it was MEANT to sound.
The Catch 22 version is very unpolished compared to the Streetlight version.
