Alexander Ebert, "Truth"

[TheKilik101]

You know what I find funny? I have heard of "Breaking Bad" but I don't really give a fuck. because I heard of this song from a free iTunes download for my damn ipod touch.

[MANUELASANCHEZify]

love it!!

[joeclaypoole]

Wasn't this in Breaking Bad?

[SirMrTony]

R.I.P. Gale <3

[illtakeit1]

@SirMrTony Amen. Hated to see him go, but it had to be done :(

[dunpablo]

Best song, in one of the best tv-series ever. true story...

[cuddilise]

this song is beautiful. I didn't even know breaking bad used it, I'm so glad though :)

[InvisibleDiary]

I found this song through Breaking Bad and I could really give a fuck if you have a problem with that, hipsters.

[netforce0]

@InvisibleDiary yeah hipsters need to die

[ROBOTsasquatchhSkate]

i found this because i like edward sharpe. but what i really mean is im so high right now.

[natangel0]

I knew this before Breaking Bad! :)

[tayaspurlin]

Guaranteed Some1 Samples This In A Rap/P0p Song 2012 & THEN Every1 Will Figure Out How Genius This Is...

[M3t33v33]

I have never seen Breaking Bad...i downloaded this off iTunes because i thought it was cool!

[Pent5HT]

just a good song. flat out.

[starlightforsunshine]

......wtf is this?! what happened to the "old alex"?

search Lovers in Captivity by ima Robot on youtube.

[PsychadelicElephant]

would have been cooler if he sang every little lie from this world comes from the bible

[redpotato77]

@PsychadelicElephant I always thought that was the line as well.

[PsychadelicElephant]

yeh me too but then I checked lyrics and he sings dividing or something,

[Resharvsed]

@PsychadelicElephant umad?

[PsychadelicElephant]

you have no idea

[Resharvsed]

@PsychadelicElephant fair

[jreaper5000000]

@PsychadelicElephant it doesnt...the system is where the lie is. the system divides and god multiplies. folks aint be reading the bible. there is only two things that can be found...god and destruction..you find destruction when you search for happiness,self worth,independence, and power.you find god when give away your happiness selth worth,independance and power.cause life works in reverse. why you think people are still searching for something they always had,search and it will flea from you.

[PsychadelicElephant]

just because you say something doesnt it mean its right u know, nature is my god, and I belive religion is bullshit, I belive the the sick society we live in is bullshit aswell, over n out

[jreaper5000000]

@PsychadelicElephant well in that case whats the point in anybody saying anything? there is a law to life and you were blessed you heard it from me..good luck with using it or not :) two things to find in life..god and destruction, its the code the yin yang.everyone in society goes by the gaining of power, self worth , independence,popularity ect and all they find is destruction(plastic surgery, botox,greed,and dividing)the true way to receive these is to give them away. over and out :)

[InvisibleDiary]

@PsychadelicElephant Read my mind. Thought that was it for the longest time.

[kakulaacs]

Such strong and beautiful lyrics. Truth indeed : )

[Xishin]

Who cares who babdwagons? The artist Wants more hits, he's got bills to pay, and mouth to feed. You aren't better because you randomly came across him.

[MuellerVLOGS]

Breaking Baddd

[TweenieDevil]

Alexander Ebert Truth (Song) Lyrics: Truth The truth is that I never shook my shadow Every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle Calling out "faker" only get me rattled Want to pull me back behind the fence with the [cattle] Building your [lenses] Digging your trenches Put me on the front line Leave me with a dumb mind With no defenses But your defenses If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless

[TweenieDevil]

[Since] this

I've grown up some

Different kind of fighter

And when the darkness come let it inside you

Your darkness is shining

My darkness is shining

Have faith in myself

Truth

[TweenieDevil]

I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon

Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying.

I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been underminding

Every little lie in this world come from dividing

[TweenieDevil]

Say you're my lover, say you're my homie,

Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me

All out of my secrets

All my enemies are turning into my teachers.

Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what's yours or mine when everything's shining

You darkness is shining my darkness is shining

Have faith in ourselves

Truth

[TweenieDevil]

Yes I'm only loving, only trying to only love

That's what I'm trying to do is only loving

Yes I'm only lonely loving feeling only loving

Till I'm feeling only loving

Ya say it ain't loving ain't loving my loving

But I'm only loving only loving only loving

Only loving the truth.

[hardrocker3825]

Thumbs up if this song makes you want to start watching Breaking Bad.

[SandyCohenful]

i totally knew about this song before walt made it so main stream. (scoff)

[poppamayhem]

WOW! the truth sets us free In every form it manifest,in this this case this song.

[poppamayhem]

WOW!

[DJRoadkill18seven]

great lyrics

[planetarynm]

Thank God I found new Alex Ebert material! You guys gotta check out the Ashtar Command song "Save Me" featuring Alex, so good.

[netforce0]

to be fair, they did make the whole episode around this song lol

[BabyxFoodxMashups]

Tyler Barnes is sick

[TomVeliotis]

I don't understand why people get mad when they see something like "Breaking Bad brought me here!" So what if these people (myself included) found out about this song through a television show. Now more people know about this song. That's a good thing last time I checked.

[Graphrie]

@TomVeliotis I'm not getting mad at all dude, if anything I find it interesting. But my point is simply this: This song is bigger and means more than just an appearance on a (obviously awesome) TV show. But is that where people are both starting and ending with it?

[netforce0]

@Graphrie why the false dichotomy? i mean teh people making the show mayb realized an awesome song. Plus he does literlaly slit a throat and take a bath in blood. the episode is built around song lol

[s0k3m1]

@Graphrie amen

[ThyKing25]

@Graphrie Well I never heard of this dude or this song till the show and I'm here digging his music and wanting more... Isnt that why it was on the show to begin with? Promotion. Also in the end people are hearing the lyrics and realizing its much more than a song on some show. Typical hipster- "I liked this guy before his song was on the show" Yea yea yea your'e cool... Wanna cookie, Or is that too mainstream for ya???

[Mattasaurification]

@ThyKing25 cookies are to mainstream. I eat some obscure piece of dough you probably never heard of.

[GilbyDoo]

I found this genius by watching Breaking Bad, we all find music in some way or another. Not a single person can say that they just had an idea to type "Artist: Song" into their searchbar, because that would make them a liar. Music is all about how you feel about it, i bet thousands of people heard this song, and didnt search it... Why because they didnt like the song. I came to listen to this song because i liked how it sounded. This aint about who found it first, this is about the music.

[staggy727]

@Graphrie they obviously arent ending it there if they went out of their way to listen to find it and listen to it again...

[MasterSplinterP1]

@Graphrie I agree!

[gabelogan56]

@Graphrie No man. It's where we're starting with it. A door was opened. Who cares how it was opened?

[Alien5p]

@TomVeliotis No it isn't. Plebeians don't deserve good music.

[TomVeliotis]

@Alien5p Hipster much? 

[Alien5p]

@TomVeliotis Don't be angry just because I am better than you.

[TomVeliotis]

@Alien5p Egotistical much?

[Alien5p]

@TomVeliotis If by that you mean that I am aware of my superiority, yes.

[TomVeliotis]

@TomVeliotis You come off as an egotist. That means a selfish, self-centered person. In others words, you're a douche.

[Alien5p]

@TomVeliotis Why are those things inherently 'wrong'?

[CrystalCrocodiles]

@TomVeliotis well personally, i hate when others know the music i listen too. so thats where am coming from :)

[morrisjlcohen]

@CrystalCrocodiles That's quite sad.

[CrystalCrocodiles]

@morrisjlcohen How so, I love it. :3

[Graphrie]

*Breaking News*

A TV episode's ending song may or may not have instigated the reason why you are now here listening to it again.

Fact remains you must've liked it. I would like to think that you're all scrolling through the right hand side and clicking on more of Alexander's songs. The song's not about, nor for Breaking Bad.

It is, infact, about truth.

Be truthful to yourself and keep searching still for more awesome music - his, mine - whoever's.

Cheers xx

[BB13131313]

@Graphrie People listen to this song because it's an awesome song. I'm a die hard Breaking Bad fan, and the show does an amazing job of finding under the radar songs. Listening to the lyrics obviously explain the song's meaning. But if you don't watch Breaking Bad, then you don't understand how vital the music they use is to the fans.

[Graphrie]

@BB13131313 - Yeah, that's cool too. I would suspect that Breaking Bad must be a pretty powerful show and naturally would be using music that sits with that. And also, I am all too fully aware of how vital music is to complement not only a fictional TV show, but actually the soundtrack to life itself.

I'm also appreciative of any show or movie or whatever that finds true and unique under the radar songs.

My point what is not being heard, is that most of the comments are about a TV show

[Graphrie]

@BB13131313 (....cont) and not the actual song itself. Yes. Breaking Bad is awesome. The song uplifted you at the end of the awesome show. I truly think that is awesome - music in the right spot with the right visuals is so enlightening.

Is no one able to separate for one brief moment though, the song between Breaking Bad at all? It would just concern me if no-one's looking further into it, and Alexander's other stuff. I just hope everyone is doing that. Be a damn shame if you're not.

[BB13131313]

@Graphrie Anyone who appreciates music would check out more of his music. But BrBa fans are fanatics, so expect to see comments about BrBa non-stop forever. You should watch all 4 seasons of BrBa and you will understand..

[BB13131313]

@Graphrie But I do understand how you can be annoyed. It's hard to love an artist or specific song, and then watch everyone jump on the bandwagon after a show, while you've genuinely cared for the artist for awhile.

[DaTokeprod]

Four people obviously never heard of "Breaking Bad". i feel sorry for them..

[xjuuunnn]

@DaTokeprod i never heard of breaking bad, and that's not really the point I guess. this is an amazing artist and an amazing song, that's the point. Breaking Bad really has nothing to do with the amazingness of this song or with this song at all actually. just happens to be on a season finale of some kind. And you're implying that this song is good because of breaking bad or that it exists because of breaking bad, and that, well that makes no sense at all. it's really an irrelevant comment.

[xjuuunnn]

@DaTokeprod although it sounds like a pretty awesome show. most def think i'm gonna start watching it.

[arcaio]

BB !! When does the bild 5 season came?

[crid37]

What's Breaking Bad? I came here because I know how to find good music. (;

p.s. I was serious about the Breaking Bad part...

[gertenshlager69]

@crid37 it's the best show EVER. seriously.

[migbee]

@crid37 It's a show on AMC about the dad from Malcolm in the Middle cooking up meth to pay for his lung cancer

[crid37]

@migbee whaaat! that actually sounds like a pretty good show. i'll have to check it out.

[BB13131313]

@crid37 It's the best TV show in the history of TV.. seriously.

[groar92skatrdinasour]

I hate to be in love

[layingtile]

This is such a tight song. If anyone has any other recommendations let me know

[netforce0]

nah this song pretty much made that episode of bb lol he literally slit some guys throat and took a bath in his blood lol

[Arcadiac08]

i saw him on conan awhile ago

[aalfaTM]

I came here for good music...

[HowToDs]

/watch?v=M2NVUZp9rsA&feature=r­elated

[ShyAhLaBuff]

wow, i just watched breaking bad from the beginning to present in the past month or so and i do not remember this song being in it. i need to stop smoking so much pot. thumbs up if you smoke too much or if your friend brought you here.

[an7an7hony]

Breaking Bad helps you discover some amazing music

[CFCwillyb]

@an7an7hony yeah no doubt, i have so much good music due to that show

[bovjer]

came here from breaking bad, and i agree, i does not matter where you discover your music:)

[izzie833]

i saw a longboarding video and came here,.. damn i have good taste in music

[JustinKeanuRuiz]

I'll never get tired of this song. Simply beautiful. 

[AisthesisBiz]

@JustinKeanuRuiz : your comment fits what i think :) ... its Zen-Sound :)

[JustinKeanuRuiz]

@AisthesisBiz Very true :) 

[insecte8]

What instrument is that on the 2 min. 45 sec. is it like a trumpet or something!?

[GadgetInspektor]

@insecte8 Sounds like a Clarinet to me.

[insecte8]

@GadgetInspektor ok thanks! it was really bugging me!

[NickLovesJazz]

@insecte8 It's a tenor saxaphone



[insecte8]

@NickLovesJazz

Oh thank you i was wondering, i thought it might be a trumpet :$ but i guess im WAY out!

[deathmonger420]

the version with RZA SUCKS!!!!

[Bruuutal1]

Shut the f*** up with "Thumps up if bla bla" !! The most lowlife comments there is! Dont thump this up ..

[HowToDs]

@Bruuutal1

There is no "p" in thumbs.

[WarriorPoetARMA]

Alex is a white African space Christ. Heroic.

[staekee]

I saw him on Conan, and felt I had to listen this song again. love it!

[Exterlite]

I saw him play this live on Conan. He was great

[luke26126]

ya I love alexander and i also love breaking bad! I was watching the show where they played this song and I was tripping! I couldn't believe they put him on such a big show! CONRGATS MAN!

[summeroff1969]

nobody says "truth" like he does :)

[sophigordon]

reminds me of the beatles..

[cthulukiller]

Hipsters guna hip

[alberts1985]

high

[lionhart72779]

Thought for the week: All my enemies, become my teachers. Profound statement in so many ways.

[Cmitty33]

What are the chances... watched him on Conan last night and then heard this song on Season 4 Episode 1 of Breaking Bad as I watched it this evening.

[ElijahCheWhite]

at least watching conan wasnt a complete waste of my time.

[setram13]

fucking amazing!!!

[MrSuperweedman]

wonderful song to chill out, dont worry about nothing.. just sit on the top of the hill, light a marihuana joint and enjoy the view... AND LIFE CAN BE GOOD..

[Moonmanwalker]

Great song love it !!

[evilsquirrelrawr]

<3

[Briannalive]

i just heard this on conan...but i didint hear what it was called...but thanks to my detective skills..cough google cough..i found it >.> hooray

[abovethuniverse]

@Briannalive same here,i really dug the song when i heard it on conan

[necrossandwich]

@Briannalive SAME HERE :)

[rockdiva1983]

Great song

[LearningAZVideo]

amazing peps:]

[tomas1703]

[netforce0]

@tomas1703 libertarian got what he deserved lol

[CAIsMyCrack]

Great Song. Great show. Breaking Bad is awesome!

[netforce0]

breaking bad fans....i swear the episode was based off this song hahahaha....

"Tilt my chin back, slit my troath

Take a bath in my blood, get to know me

All out of my secrets

All my enemies are turning into my teachers"

[Cartman22100]

very cool song !!

[YuriAllen]

Breaking Bad <3

[cche16]

BREAKING BAD. SEASON 4 PREMIERE. ENDING SONG.

[ZomBeaArthur]

I know what you mean, i hate when other people start listening to songs i found long ago! Which is why I only listen to songs that haven't even come out yet, that way i'm sure to remain a really unique, artist type (that actually practices no form of art) snowflake. Sometime's I like to go on Pandora just so I can suggest bands it might like that it has never heard of. But seriously, get off your pompous hipster high horse, music is meant to be shared with the world.

[buckeyerevenge]

@ZomBeaArthur Biggest hipster on YouTube?

[ZomBeaArthur]

@buckeyerevenge i don't really use youtube, i like this other video sharing website, you've probably never heard of it.

[piszczekboy]

@buckeyerevenge sarcasm

[subforsubbbb]

i found this from streampad, you know.. the programm on tumblr :)

[Pied1914]

Don't you hate it when you find a song and you love it. And than a stupid TV Show decides to use it and one of a sudden 100.000 lemmings start loving it as well ... but for the wrong reason.

[piszczekboy]

@Pied1914 come on... seriously, so music is only good if only hundreds people know about it. I don't know how you can like a song for the wrong reason. it doesnt matter how anybody hears a song. all that matters is that they like it.....silly hipster

[soundsbureaux]

@Pied1914 Do you not just think that the publicity the song got from the TV simply allowed for it to be heard by the masses, who in turn, like yourself, also just happened to think that it's a a great piece of music?

[slimreb0rn]

God this song is so fucking awesome.

[Lolololrada]

J'aime les papillons et j'aime Etienne, Anthony et le petit Benoit

[tincan77]

I feel like I'm playing Afro Samurai when I hear this....

[pimpgangstaboss]

Thumbs up if you came here because of Breaking Bad !!

[marcks18]

@pimpgangstaboss 

[Wafflewarrior7]

"Yes I'm only loving, trying to only love I swear to god I'm only trying to be loving"

[kwisi]

why this song remembers me to killbill?

[Graphrie]

I uploaded this video months ago - I've never even seen Breaking Bad. I saw a review of this album on Rolling Stone online and went checked out Alexander... Whether or not you find music in this fashion, or hear something on a TV programme, or even hear it in an elevator - if you love it, then you love it. It's come to your ears via somewhere. The way it came to your ears is irrelevent. The fact that you heard it is the important thing. Cheers xx

[pimpgangstaboss]

@Graphrie Yeah but you really should watch breaking bad ;D

[CureForPain1234]

@Graphrie I love what you wrote and agree 100 percent. Greetings from belgium and many virtual hugs and kisses for the upload!

[netforce0]

@Graphrie someone with sense on youtube??? RUN before they infect you :P

[Outlawsabinu]

@Graphrie Well, I thank both you and Breaking Bad for exposing me to this then. The song was used in a fashion that caught me emotionally on the show, and it still does with it's powerful lyrics.

[TheCheepnis]

@Graphrie Thanks a bunch for upoading. I respect your taste of music man. Keep it up. We all like it.

[jesusofdiablo]

I'm over the newly blossoming arguements about how a particular artist is discovered. I think it is more important that an individual person recognized something they liked enough to hunt for it. Does buried treasure lose its luster if you used a map to find it? I think not, but that's just me.

[TheHarryTipperr]

@jesusofdiablo wow man very nicely put, is that from somewhere or didja just use the ol' noggin?

[jesusofdiablo]

@TheHarryTipperr Haha, that was all me-- I guess higher education is finally beginning to pay off

[TheHarryTipperr]

@jesusofdiablo i would assume so

[missbree2242]

On the lyric sites it says "every lie in this world comes from dividing" but it sounds to me like "every lie in this world comes from the bible" :o

[MrAaronreina]

@missbree2242 Exactly What I was thinking....and that would make sense because he also later says, "Have faith in myself."

I was kinda wondering about that. If that is what he really said then I would have to not really like the message of the song.

[missbree2242]

@MrAaronreina Were on the same page & I never pieced it together like that. It was one of my favorite songs but if it actually says that then I'll have to find a new favorite song :(

[aceshighsays]

@missbree2242 maybe that was the original lyric and was changed for the mass media

[missbree2242]

@aceshighsays That's a very possible idea.

[dinoxmight]

I've grown up some, different kind of fighter

And when the darkness comes, let it inside ya

[sbchapin90]

Shit, I just realized I'm a goddamn hipster. If it takes a TV show to make people to listen to Ebert, we have a problem. You people who came here from BrBa, research Alexander Ebert, who he is, where he came from, and what he's doing. Claim this music for yourself rather than taking what popular culture gives you.

I came here because it's Alexander Ebert.

[Koopa3000]

@sbchapin90 So what you are saying is it's bad thing that people find beautiful music through random media like tv shows? I don't understand your logic.

[sbchapin90]

@Koopa3000 I'ts a bad thing when music this good need to be on a TV show to make it popular. It should be popular to begin with.

[TetraVaalBioSecurity]

@sbchapin90 You're an idiot, shut up. Just shut up. If people can find this guy's music at all and end up enjoying it, then it shouldn't matter how they found it.

People like you shouldn't exist. You're utterly worthless.
