saw them way way way back when at a place called common ground that use to have shows, they had just started but were awesome!! its awesome to know they come from the next town over!!!
Not sure if anyone notices this but, Washington State has been exploding with music and talent since like 2007, especially out of Seattle. I'm a Washitonian and proud!
@xLnHxBlo0dLusT Not sure if you noticed but great talent has been coming out of Washington for many years now. It didn't just begin in 2007. The 90s have brought a lot of great bands out of Washington.
@squishymadness I only know of few, sorry, I was born in Washington but I haven't lived here since 1997 lol, It's all new and it looks like the state is doing good in entertainment.
wonderful song. I love your lyrics more than any other band. your acoustic stuff can go very far. i am a past user of drugs that consist of using a needle.
@BOOMPOWbethany they just released a new video for this song on MTV. I've done sound for these guys at some shows in Anacortes, and this song has always been one of my favorites. I have shot a few live videos with the flip-cam, the audio from the cam doesn't always capture the sound well, but they live performance shows through.
@BOOMPOWbethany - this song is now on MTV. Check out some of my live videos of the band. They are opening for Death Cab for Cutie on a short tour of the Nation; Unfortunately it's all sold-out except for Minneapolis I think. But check out their tour schedule, spread the word, and get their new CD!

Amazing song. The lyrics, the music, everything. definitely deserves to be on iTunes. they have an EP up on iTunes but unfortunately this song is not on it :/
@macaronilord they have just realeased a new music video for this on MTV. Also, check out my live video of this song from a March 5th show in Anacortes. :)
best song , i dig your message dude . though you wont check this
,. FTW is right , hes gagging because of the sickness our world is under ,. we live in a fucking plague . lets just hope this new breathe is that of pure lgith.and beauty
The Lonely Forest is amazing, love seeing you guys and every performance I have seen is great. John stick together, the journey is better with friends!
I like the first verse and all but in the second verse it sounds like a poem by an emotionally disturbed child. Good song and all but it just sounds like he's a draftdodger who has no idea what he's talking about.
@Scottydoo69 I'm pretty damn sure His message and johns are one and the same...new breath, new life, love....just saying. Not like Jesus didn't hit this up a long time ago. I could be wrong.
John is a GREAT guy i actually had the chance to run monitors for him at the Skagit County Fair (not picky at ALL) The power on stage is 5 time greater than off :) it has become my favorite live experience and i'm fairly certain it will stay so! I'm SUPER excited for they're album coming out soon cause it's with Walla of DEATH CAB! they're gonna make it big and they DESERVE it and Brayden is the sickest drummer EVER!...that's all haha
