Mutemath - Valium

[ajvacanti]

Did someone change the audio here? No longer the song Valium....

[ThEcHaMpX44]

Alright i wanna know who that one dick is that just has to dislike this..

[Ladeebug59]

In a project for the Hunger Games we had to handpick a soundtrack to go with it. I used this song to describe Katniss's experience at the reaping and how surreal the whole experience felt. Needless to say, I got a 100 on it :D

[msbluesky10538]

if this is a bonus track, where can I get it?

seems to me like some of their best stuff doesn't make it onto the albums...

[whealz1]

so smooth this is great sounds

[encsgapub]

I serioiusly don't think this song is about drugs lol..

[projectfinale]

This is wonderful to listen to driving through though the mountains windows down...

[maximumride427]

@Biggestmutemathfan

maybe his wife had an eye injury ??

[astrologer201]

@Biggestmutemathfan i feel like the song is from the dog's perspective on valium

[AnimatedELIOLI]

Funny, no one mentions that Paul has issues with riding on planes(interviews), resulting in having to take Valium. Which is why I believe he takes it in those cases.

Anyway, great song!

[buddyfication]

sounds as though the song is about empathy and encouragement. good tune and ideas to sing about :)

[TheNickhendricks]

Acessable*

[TheNickhendricks]

I wish this song was more easily aces sable on iTunes

[NireTheRebel]

hum, reminds me of death at a funeral.

[annalizer1992]

This song is almost hypnotic, calms me down in a peculiar way, I love it.

[bassobeats]

@Biggestmutemathfan i dont think these guys music would be half as awesome without drugs, and if they don't use drugs they should. abusing drugs now that's different, but don't let the govt. make you think drugs are all bad. they're not harmless, but they're not "bad". and there's nothing wrong with someone using drugs unless it's having a serious negative impact, which they rarely do unless you are greedy, stupid or in some cases unlucky. Alot of the best music ever made was drug influenced.

[TheMoneyKing1991]

howd you get these songs? im a big fan of mutemath

[RadChic121]

best band ever!! I love this song <3 these guys have such amazing talent

[soulsista934]

This song is awesome! What album is this from?

[maggie2276]

I LOVE MUTEMATH, BUT HATE HOW PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE , :(

[RadChic121]

@maggie2276 I loooove that people don't know who they are. that way it's like they belong to me and me alone :)

[elavate7]

@maggie2276 thats the part that sucks!!!!

[steviebear]

this is so fresh!

[Matttttttttttt12]

Such a good song.

The slow entrance and the constant slow pace - the same way as it begins with "I take it slow now..."

The song actually helps me take my mind off things.

The chorus "I wanna fly tonight...." is the best part.

[TeeaToxicated]

these guys are geniuses :o

[starlitskyes9]

Hey, you have Fight? Can you send it to me?

[49erfm]

I love this song

i listen to it almost everyday

[mellymeliza]

@Biggestmutemathfan

Ooo, can you send me Without It?

[charliehively]

gotta wonder if this song is about using valium.... didn't think Mute Math was really into drugs.

[Biggestmutemathfan]

Nope they arent. I have an interview From Paul about the Armistice album. He made the song because he found a stray dog near a hotel, Covered in "spurs". Him and his wife bought the dog into their hotel room, And since the dog was in so much pain they gave him some Valium... It helped and they brought the puppy to the vet after.

[charliehively]

odd thing to write a song about, and I don't really see the connection between the story and the lyrics. And you gotta wonder why he had Valium in the first place to give to the dog

[golferraynes71]

@charliehively

A lot of people take it for pain. I work at a pharmacy and I have to dish it out several times a day...so it's not that uncommon for people of any age to get it.

[stalepigeon]

@charliehively why wonder? alot of people take valium to either calm them down or help them sleep. You know you dont have to be a wreck head to take or consider taking it.

[hippiebutnot]

@stalepigeon I agree. I was put on powerful painkillers when I had 3 wisdom teeth taken out years ago, I can't remember which ones they were, but it's not uncommon for people to have prescribed drugs like that. It doesn't mean you're a druggie or anything crazy like that.

[Umy1332]

@charliehively Oh gawd, let's act like none of us have ever touched any kind of drug.

[charliehively]

@Umy1332 I wasn't giving judgment, I was moreso surprised considering the band's semi-religious affiliation.

[ReasonablyChic]

@Biggestmutemathfan You wouldn't happen to have a link to the interview would you? There are lots of general interviews with Paul, but I can't seem to find any that talk about individual songs specifically. I know YT doesn't allow link-posting, but if you could message it to me I would be really, really grateful. :)

[wasabi506]

@Biggestmutemathfan um they just had valium laying around ......right

[sfuture08]

dude, i don't know how to message you.

aha I'm not so youtube savvy.

[JustSmileZMM]

mutemath is better then coldplay!!!

[mellymeliza]

@JustSmileZMM

Haha, my two favorite bands. :)

[lovesbatman]

@JustSmileZMM Just different

[whosebad94]

@JustSmileZMM i beg to differ i like both of them for different reasons

[ashtonlove09]

@JustSmileZMM : Indeed

[mellymeliza]

@JustSmileZMM

I wouldnt be able to live without either of em. :)

[elavate7]

@JustSmileZMM hell yea!!!!

[sfuture08]

yo, send me valium and the alt. without it

and do you have an audio for fight?

[inbtwntwostates]

this is one of my favorite "driving songs"! which is weird because normally my driving songs are fast and upbeat, like Muse's Knights of Cydonia. maybe because this one makes me feel like I'm floating and it's one of those songs that you can just sing your lungs out too til you're out of breathe

[Biggestmutemathfan]

I WANNA FLY TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

[mellymeliza]

Bonus track from Armistice? How?

[Biggestmutemathfan]

from the Cd not itunes. I bought it off Ebay, Same with reset

[AngiePRodriguez]

Is there any way you can send me this song. Cause I can't find it :/

[AngiePRodriguez]

nice song, I've loved Mute Math for a while.

[sepiroth1987]

Amazing how the bonus track is actually my favorite on the album. Along with "Odds". Mute Math has been my favorite band for some time now. They continue to reinvent amazing. Powerful stuff. You guys should check out My Morning Jacket.

[Biggestmutemathfan]

Ill Check them out right now.

[lilworkerb]

When I hear this, I feel like I'm off in the woods somewhere. I love songs that make you feel like your in your own little world, thats what I get with this one.

[EmoKid3711]

@lilworkerb dude yes. totally. especially with noise canceling headphones.

[Biggestmutemathfan]

I just got a pair of skullcandys Skullcrushers. And i dont think i will ever use any other headphones. EVER

[smikemagee]

@Biggestmutemathfan

AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

listen to dubstep with those headphones! OMFG it's disgusting how much you head vibrates

[PoetaBoricuaLucha]

@lilworkerb Soooo trueee! Our own world! so perfect.. untouchable!

[thinkinoftomorrow]

Love this! It's THE only reason why I would buy the 90210 soundtrack.

[mutemathrox]

this is the most chill song ever, I think its the best one off their new album, did they ever play it live on their tour?

[Biggestmutemathfan]

@mutemathrox  I Doubt it because Valium is a bonus song, but i didnt see them doing the Mutemath(2006) album tour
