Streetlight Manifesto- a better time, a better place

[Hersheydiditallwrong]

i dont care what the meaning is streetlight always makes me fucking happy

[Zerocoolchester]

Let's all remember that it's possible to show your enthusiasm for something on youtube without making a joke out of rape. Just a friendly reminder.

Also, this song is pretty great.

[xXpallettownrivalsXx]

The replay button almost sued me for sexual harassment,

but I yelled surprise before I raped it ;)

[VenomousWhale]

Saw them n AC on Black Friday. I went crazy when they played this song.

[KenyuuSolarisknight0]

awesome song! and unlike other songs today, this song makes sense. nicely done!

[Cesawaik]

this morning, i decided to take a tolite paper roll and tape it to my head. so, unicorn. i joined the show adventure time with fin and jake. soon i quit, kuz jake ate my unicorn horn, and from there, i became deeply depressed, i thought, what was the point, without mmy unicorn horn? soon after crying, i wasted awhole tolite paper roll. and i had the idea... a unicorn horn! so, the next morning, i decided to tape it to my head! then instead, i became the blue unicorn of charlie the unicorn.

[CheckitoutgamingFX]

streetlight manifesto brings us all together like brothers and sisters we look out for each other and stay strong i have here'd this song drove people from suicide music has a big impact every streetlight fan is alike in one or more ways no matter how young or old skinny or big we all...have good taste in music

[SimoneD1231]

This song got me through my stay at a psych ward. Thank you Streetlight.

[SGCDucky]

@SimoneD1231 Me too bro. Your not alone ;) Stay strong.

[clank25]

@ayutenshi2 when you wake up, everything is gonna be fine. i guarantee that you'll be in a better place, in a better time :)

[ayutenshi2]

This song is definitely helping me through all the junk going on in my life right now.

[peacefulanarchist92]

i love every song thy have made, my fave has to be heres to life, or somewhere in th between :)

[freakingouttoad]

this is my favorite song..all time

[ayutenshi2]

I saw them on Monday. Such a great concert... and when they sang this song, I almost started crying. I felt like they were singing to me... So now I listen to this song whenever I feel down and I get to pull strength from it. :D Thank you for posting this.

[sparklesthegoat]

and when you wake up, everything's gonna be fine. I guarantee that you'll wake in a better place, in a better time. This line practically brought me to tears

[MrProgrampro]

All of their songs are well-over four minutes long, but they always seem to end too soon!

[mkslime]

this by far my favorite band ever

the whole anti-suicide thing is weird for a band yah know......BUT THIS SONG IS SOOOOOOO GOOD!

[CheckitoutgamingFX]

Amazing....

[agentwade]

@MissVelvetDalle It'll be alright honey :)

[FelixBrahh]

'I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun but I'll hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt' One of the best lyrics I've ever heard.

[Thespectre596]

@FelixBrahh What is bathe and hunt supposed to mean? I really am dumbfounded by it o.o

[RosarioVampiress]

@Thespectre596

ill draw your bath and ill load your gun,

but i hope so bad that you'll bath and hunt.

well its a song about how 'annie' doesnt want to continue living, and a lot of suicides regarding cutting their wrists are done in a bath tub ...same with the gun, people shoot themselves so to commit suicide. he's saying that he will help her get them ready, but he hopes she doesnt kill herself and that instead that she 'bathes and hunts'

umm get it?

[Thespectre596]

@RosarioVampiress well yes I understand that. But like the hunt part. I always used to think he said harm. So bathe in harm.  Come to find out its different. Is he saying like hunt with the gun? Or something I just don't understand.

[thelastpachyderm]

@Thespectre596 it's a metaphor for the singer implying that he will give the person the freedom they are seeking to make their own choice, but he hopes that the choices are to continue on and not give up.

[psykonesis1]

@Thespectre596 bathe and hunt means he will draw the bath and load the gun but he hopes that she uses the bath to bathe and not cut herself or drown herself and the gun to hunt instead of shoot herself

[Thespectre596]

@psykonesis1 ohhh. Yeah thats what I was thinking but I thought it was a saying I didn't understand for a second. Thanks dude

[kingontopbob]

God, I hope Annie's okay =(

[WGLKM]

@kingontopbob

Annie are you okay?! Are you okay Annie!?

You've been hit by... You've been struck by...

[Brandooooooooooo]

Wow, all their lines are so clever.

Gotta love Streetlights great songwriting!

[whodatgoblue11]

my best friend is suicidal...i have to talk to her every night just to persuade to live for one more day. I think about her everytime I listen to this song

[xKILLxEMxALLx]

@whodatgoblue11

if you have to talk to her every night, is it really worth it?

you can only help for so long. It's on them to decide.

you can start the engine, but you cant take the ride for her..

[whodatgoblue11]

@xKILLxEMxALLx

i know what you are saying, i guess I'm just selfish. I just don't want to lose her, it's a tough feeling, you know?

[xKILLxEMxALLx]

@whodatgoblue11

it could be selfishness.. it could be concern..

i get that it's a tough feeling, but in the end,

it's on them to decide. all you can do is offer

support and hope that they see the error

in their suicidal tendency..

[haloking0000001]

thanks to this band im not dead

[rubenrox1]

The video link says jews :D



[MrsSmeeith]

Im suicidal and this song makes me feel alittle bit better about life. Its like a chant I say whenever Im down....

[MuzikMakesMeHappy214]

@MrsSmeeith me too, its good that there is things like this and people like Tomas Kalnoky that actually care about people and arent judgemental of people with emotional issues and that theres stuff like this to pick us up. Tomas Kalnoky is a great person. perk up, mate.

[RandomPecans]

I like how "Jews" is in the URL... :)

[LeBeastee]

Such a beautiful song...

[Heath15667]

seeing this band tonight so stoaked!

[EddyAkaRiver]

no offense but you have the name backwards itsa better place a better time...

[SKAisJOY]

I'ts "better place better time"

[SKAtarina420]

the link ends in "jews" xD ♥

[yoitsajc]

They're way better live, I know I've experienced it.

[tanyatwotone]

This song saved my life.

[MrStewietheking]

3 peple listen to justin bieber

[DIRECTVable]

@MrStewietheking Wow, thx for letting us know you're new to YouTube.

[AwdioSurfer]

@DIRECTVable Actually... 89% of the youtube community acts like him.

[DIRECTVable]

@AwdioSurfer we are doomed to failure.

[ghsrunner94]

I guess im wierd but I don't much care for Point/counterpoint as much...i guess i like the busy horn section songs more. oh well,, still a fuckin amazing band.!

[GabrielPineda123]

im pretty sure its "and she says" not "Annie says" but i could be wrong

[Rebads]

@GabrielPineda123 Nah it's Annie, I'm not sure why but at live shows on the bands set list the song is listed as "Annie"

[austindukesmusic]

"I'll draw your bath and draw your gun, but i hope so bad that you'll bathe and hunt". That, My friends, is THE MOST, epic lyric of this song, and of our time.

[MelinGrata]

*dances dances*

[MarsLstar]

This song probably saved so many people....if there was a list of all the people this song saved it must be huge.

[Bachzart]

I would like to point out that the URL clearly says Jews. That is all.

youtube.com/watch?v=7rBCAB5Jew­s <- racist youtube.

Oh and Streetlight Manifesto is and forever shall be my favorite band.

[papason4041]

@Bachzart holy fuck that says jews...

[Brmul12]

I love the "curved" barry sax notes right after 1:22. I could listen to that all day every day and be happy. :)

[Xensoca]

@Brmul12 Actually I do believe that is a trombone.



[ghsrunner94]

@Brmul12 I play trombone and that is a Glissando from a trombone. A barry sax could do it, but it would be more separated and with a more gravely "Voice". The Trombone almost Blasts it and is much more brighter and smoother than a Barry. But it is amazing. :D

[vandaminator226]

probably the best song ever

[Micspudalot]

I just stumbled onto this band and all of there songs rock =) new fav band

[driftingcool]

this is terrible.

[Peace0Love0Music1]

@driftingcool Bull. This song is amazing. You're on crack.

Don't hate. Appreciate (:

[jackisheart]

loljews

[LordLoss8]

holy shit if they tour canada i will fucking die of excitment

[naynay457]

are you sure it's annie it sounds like and she

[Jeysnful]

The bass into ( which is non existant on this video) is so fucking hard. Unless you got huge hands that reach from 12 and 5 at the same time.

Its ridiculous love the song.

Love the band. Favorite band. Hopefully they tour Canada :]

[burgerbassist]

@Jeysnful The bass intro isn't hard at all.  Tap it. One hand on the high frets, one on the low.

[Jeysnful]

Uh yah it is, Its not tapped

its picked lmfao.

[Bachzart]

@Jeysnful <(o_o< ) they have tiny hands in canada?

[sbenamy]

@Jeysnful dude not hard at all play the octaves with a string inbetween so your in a regular position.

[PVK112]

@Jeysnful: Not true. It's just the bass and the guitar harmonized.  Seriously, if you think you need ginormous hands to play that, you're doin' it wrong.

[Auron710]

@Jeysnful yeh the bass player is a beast! his parts are always so fast and hard to play tho unless u listen carefully u dont notice it often, like led zeppelins bass lines lol. I watched him a lot when i saw them in London, hes awesome, well they all are

[arnas145]

@Jeysnful bass intro hard? no way dude....

[wheresuritethumb]

@Jeysnful the 5 a 10 on the string below. or is it on the g string?

[Jables098]

@Jeysnful Instead of fretting the D string on 5, try fretting the A string on 10, it's the same thing...it will be a lot easier to play :)

[ronix32]

@Jeysnful It's probably been said before, but do you mean the octaves? You can play them pretty easily, at least by my transcription. I could send you a pdf if you'd like.

[hollichick]

i absolutly love this band i am so stoked my boo and i r gunna go c them live lol but their best song i think is point/counterpoint.......

[shanaynay1241]

@hollichick they are kkind of assholes in person and most likely wont play point/counterpoint cause they said they hate that song :/ just letting you know (:

[loveworld923]

@hollichick They acutally won't play that song. As far as I heard they didnt anywehre

[VraiDave]

@loveworld923 they didn't when i saw em D:

[KurtRip94]
