Streetlight Manifesto - Somewhere in the between

[redquoter]

When the world's ending, this song should be booming somewhere.

[masterkeyguy]

@redquoter Excuse me, but world is not ending as long as there is Ska. you can just say: you're excused. that would be enough.

[peacefulanarchist92]

i love how very rarely hate is displayed on streetlight songs

[someguy503]

No matter what gets me down, this song always reminds me how wonderful it is to be alive.

[untitled703]

1:47 makes me jizz :DDDDDDDD



[Cactusman96]

@MrSongjumper it has massive sax-appeal :)

[heinyhxc]

@MrSongjumper Shit yeah

[utubeisasnake]

thumbs up if you've seen them live

[NARNAR1307]

Thomas is the Chuck Norris of the music world

[EmoWolfMaster]

@NARNAR1307 screw that! hes the Bruce lee of Ska and Music in general!

[LikeTotallyButtons]

@Surfjockey

All philosophies are recycled from the beginning of time. Every new idea is a refurbished old idea.

[Veninax]

This song is utterly beautiful. I want it to be played at everyone's funeral.

[thebloggerman123]

hey why dont you all just stfu and leave everyones countries alone and let me listen to some good music without having to read all this stupid crap please

[Suph373]

I nice ballad for Mr. Jobs, wouldn't you agree?

[aitshi]

Will anyone be so awesome as to give me the notes for the alto solos at 1:54-2:14? I've transcribed the bone parts just fine, but now I'm stuck.

[SMfan199]

@aitshi I had the Alto Tab for this song laying around somewhere but I can't find it now......I got it off horntabs.net though if you're still looking for the notes.

[unknownethnicity]

America? The continents? Be specific, people. The United States isn't about accepting people. Essentially it's just about capitalism and democracy. It's the way it always has been.

[pinkelf6669]

i plan on getting the chorus to this or the chorus of "a better place a better time" tattooed on me :D

[AmyLee248]

my cousin decided to show me one of their songs. smart girl. very, very, smart girl. i've been hooked since then. :)

[Cloudkit]

so you were born, and that was a good day, someday you'll die, & that is a shame. but somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream & nothing & no one will ever take that away

[Iceman3524]

This song is great!

[plasterofparisify]

I am not going to check out your shitty band thanks for the song.

[TheFrickinPope]

Saw Streetlight and Reel Big Fish last night. This was their final song of the set! :D

[Omni956]

@TheFrickinPope I saw them in Niagara Falls, hell of a show!

[SuperMichmon]

This would be my funeral song.

[CPickswell]

@VraiDave DUDE! i was there!

[VraiDave]

a couple nights ago i saw them live. only band to get called back onto the stage, and they played this song <3

[metangsonic]

This song killed Chuck Norris

[gloriousbass]

@metangsonic and Chuck Norris loved every second of it.

[MrJustpostin]

@metangsonic 2 Problems,

1, nothing can kill chuck norris.

2, it works the other way, it is so awesome it resurrects awesome dead people, why right now i'm talking to hendrix and einstein

[amskatermo]

The world will end when the members of the this band die.

Jesus is just kick'in back waiting so he can get these dudes to sound the horns.

And play us in to a new era of Ska based religious worship.

Can anybody say," Skanking for Jesus"? Lulz.

[HoneybunchBunny]

i was singing this while making an important test, its not a healthy song, it's too good.

[schurkigurki]

But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream

[Evqe]

fuck you guys all dying... I wanna live forever with this kind of music :D Am i right? :D

[EnrX73]

We sang: "I don't know where we go from here" This is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events And we all just idealize the past So you were born and that was a good day Someday you'll diethat is a shame But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream And nothing and no one will ever take that away Yeah, the times we had, they were not that bad And everything else, it was part of the plan

[EnrX73]

And we sang, "I don't know where we go from here"

This is the Alpha Omega beginning and the end!

And we all just idolize the dead

So you were born and that was a good day

Someday you'll die and that is a shame

But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream

And nothing and no one will ever take that away

And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end

But we can't just get in line again.

[TheWildSeraph]

The ending upgraded this song from 'pretty awesome' to 'OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!'

[erikhaney]

I'm just gonna come out and say it......... Streetlight. Best band of all time. Can't really are with that logic

[Xriloku]

@erikhaney Damnit, I can sure AM with that logic

[bendl2]

3:39 sucks...



[Hades568]

man i love this song i have the words down pat lol

[scandalist1]

Damn, nice harmonica solo.

[jakeknotthead]

I'll leave everything I own if Streetlight Plays at my funeral

[MJPTHA3RD]

Oh shit, listen to that Bari ;3.

[Thewholegrianshane]

i just saw streetlight lasnight:]

they totally killed it

especailly this one

so much energy on stage

[Armydillo0]

Goosebumps. Every time.

[vusin2]

I cant find this album anywhere...

[TheEvisgod]

@vusin2 Music stores near me don't have an "Awesome" section

[RaurTheMuffinBoy]

@vusin2 Mediafare dude

[djcomm32]

@vusin2 If you really wanted to support the album you would buy it from the RISC store, and not from victory records

[redron213]

wIts a shame no one in my high school listens to this great music except my friends and I. Wtf is wrong with the youth today?

[RaurTheMuffinBoy]

why would any1 dislike this?

[SierraxLynnxCC]

@RaurTheMuffinBoy Sorry I misread it, I thought you said why would anyone like it, didn't mean to vote down.

[kevLAXpro16]

wow people argue so much on this...i dont know where we go from here... :/

[KellerasslR]

1:45 - 2:25 best part <333

[narf0708]

@KellerasslR  no, that is not the best part. the best part is 0:00 to 3:44

[mrwiggles35]

he was italian, but he was in germany when he made the map. got a history textbook to prove it

[mrwiggles35]

yeah america was named after a german, Amerigo Vespucci. and communism looks good on paper. communism (marxism) is equality in everything, including income. but when its taken into effect, the leaders make the citizens poor, but equal and themselves rich as fk. you're basically contradicting yourself because ur against communism yet ur supporting that tomas is against borders, which is communism. i also agree that america talks the talk,but doesnt walk the walk. but thats our modern society.

[CaptainHomerunFalcon]

@mrwiggles35 Italian =/= German. Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian. Fact check before you rant, bro.

[angryguy306]

@mrwiggles35 Amerigo Vespucci was italian, dipshit.

[manu909]

@ANBUblackops666 idk how it is but i guess thats what amuses the public now

[Therkia]

I think everyone needs to stop acting like only America is racist and only America makes an issue about the border. We don't have as strict border restrictions like a lot of other countries do (including Mexico) and I know for a fact that a lot of countries are racist too. Almost everyone is racist to an extent. NOW - can we just enjoy the song? That's what the cool kids would do.

[ellsworthra]

i like the overall song but i don't like the guitar

[ClickMyName100]

OP is a fucking idiot but the song is amazing.

[peeps5611]

pirate ska. omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg­omgomgomgomg

[raeyon]

If you are born in America you are american. Whether you are proud of it or not because you were raised in the culture, the people, and the language. If you went to the country of your descent you would stick out like a sore thumb no matter how much your family preserved the culture. I know this as a franco american.  I speak french fluently since birth but as soon as I went to france to see my grandparents everyone there knew I was american and knew this or that no matter what.

[SheBeastX3]

Filled with freakin awesome trumpets, trombones, and SEXYphones.

[allmusicisme]

wtf is the sams? why do u use the same to pics?

[reedjosh13]

wooooooo

[onedude93]

Man, this song seems to be able to embody each person's life in one way or another. Beautiful song.

[friggingbomb88]

"i had the love .... when the love had you"

sadly, LOVE never had me ;(

[coolbreeze101b]

I want this band to play at my wedding, kids wedding, other kids wedding, other kid wedding, Other kids wedding, my house, my house party, in the sky when im sky diving, and my death bed, and my funeral

[LtFrightful]

SKAmunism. Thats Cool Man.

[meemeesiko57]

So you were born (So you were born!)

And that was a good day

Someday you'll die (Someday you'll die!)

And that is a shame

But Somewhere In The Between

There's a life for which we all dream

And nothing and no one

Will ever take that away.

*epic.*

Also, The Sams need to stop attaching their name to music that is not theirs. If you're music doesn't stand up by itself, then there's no point in trying guys.

[bunnybassman]

the sams?

[HellaLaughs901]

lol i've memorized all the songs of SM i don't memorize songs much but sometimes it just happens to me IF the songs are catchy so to me ALL of SM's songs are catchy.

[patamania201]

screw the 8 people that clicked the the dislike button

[sumosuk420]

Like fuck!!!! I see that Streetlight is on the Warped Tour roster... But aren't coming anywhere hear where I live..

[muler321]

@sumosuk420 I know, it sucks that they nor Reel Big Fish are coming to my date either. I saw them last year at warped, the were AMAZING!

[ThePoLyAmOrOuS1]

I could send it to you but I do not speak English very icq then you can take me yes 585-593-248

[uLookLikeABogmonster]

anyone have a ringtone to this song (:

or know where to get this for free??

[luv2sponge]

so u were born, and that was a good day

[345jackass345]

go fuck yourself

[iKiLLEDreaganTWICE]

you make me sad

[Constance0Lirit]

some people died, and that was a sha-a-ame ;P

[sirstanlee]

@Constance0Lirit ummm, it's "Someday you'll die, and that's a sha-a-me." Just sayin'

[Constance0Lirit]

@sirstanlee i know, i wasn't talking about the lyrics =P

[ElSonambulo6]

best streetlight song ever... man tom outdid himself in this one

[onestepcloser17]

I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOO MUCH .

and screw the funeral i want them to play this at my deathbed so i can actually hear it ;)

[SHRED470]

I DONT KNOW WHERE WE GO FROM HERE

[JediAutobotX]

Awesome song... :)

[anglaismoyen]

I want Streetlight to play this at my funeral.

[RobloxWarriorsUnited]

SWEEEET

[kebinhook8]

Never have i listened to a streetlight song and not been pumped up from it

[HaxorTora]

Alpha, Omega, Beginning and the End. you know, all lot of the lyrics i hear in this band suggest that whoever writes their songs is religious. i guess it's not very likely, but wouldn't it be creepy if these guys were trying to subliminally influence us?

[kniffenkniffen]

I don't know what part of that line indicates religion, alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the greek alphabet. No religious connotation whatsoever.

[DDRninja42]

theres a Christian song with those lyrics

[Limabean231]

The line "Alpha, Omega, beginning and the end" comes from the bible.

[whitehman]

@Limabean231

Revelation 21:6. Thanks, Fallout 3!

[RedStarRiot]

Haha oh yeah! I remember listening to this and actually thinking hmm im sure I have heard this in Fallout 3.......

[tito720]

alpha and omega are other names for god.

[diceh2]

If you read through the lyrics for most of the songs on the album, it's actually questioning the existence of God.

[rocketgem79]

There's nothing wrong with questioning, questions lead to discovery and discovery leads to advances. In this instance, advances in music.

[theunfetteredrose]

I wonder if it's about the humanistic desire to see those around those around us as worthy to cling to.

I wonder if the song is about finding that person, male, female, in-between, that makes us happy. That person that allows us to embrace a delimited life because their presence means our life is different because of their presence.

That one person or more we will always remember even as our life functions halt.

I question God, but I embrace love.

[CityUndead]

I love this song soooo much <3333

[Allianceboy20]

streetlight is up there with bad religion and nofx to see live they're funny as hell

[bandrascal89]

ok i don't know which song commenters talked about the Sams being communist, but if it were any kind of political control, it'd be SKAmunism!

[xpredox]

the sams is my band and we're not communist bro, we pray cultural revolution but not a change of systems to communism, and if you're talking about streetlight manifesto, they're also not communist but yes, they want to change things

[quadrophenik]

communism isn't changing things!!!!!!

Down with the USSR!!!

[enmac500]

they dissolved over ten years ago genius

[quadrophenik]

officially yes, but they are keeping frozen heads of all their leaders. then they will implant them in American pop star heads

[yourpalshawn]

dude, just shut the fuck up.

[rocketgem79]

too late

The USSR already is down ;)

[metalfaust19]

@xpredox "they're also not communist but yes, they want to change things "

I define that as simply being a good American.

[xpredox]

@metalfaust19 yeah, even with Tomas being czech, and me being brazilian.

[tand]

@xpredox I'm brazillian too!!! not relevant... but you know.. fun! ^_^ plus this band is amazing!

[metalfaust19]

@xpredox Czech, Brazlian, English, German, French....that is America :3 People forget so easily what America is about, it isn't about specific people, it's a philosophy. Shit, you could be BORN in Antarctica, but you can have the ideals of an American. It's about accepting everyone and respecting all walks of life, that's it. You can just have the ideals, that's all that matters.

[xpredox]

@metalfaust19 Well, that's your opinion, in MY opinion calling someone or any philosophy "american" is just stupid. America is called america because of a stupid spanish dude that killed indians, all the borders are artificial, and I'm pretty sure that mr. tomas is against the stupid borders that put people apart.

And when americans accept everyone and respect their walks of life? What about that fucking mexican border? What about the income-analysis before getting an american visa?

[metalfaust19]

@xpredox Honestly? You're right in terms of modern day America (USA). It has become a corrupt nation of elitists, it has been for a long while now! My family came from Dusseldorf about 120 years ago, America was a beacon to people like us...I still DO believe being an American is a philosophy of freedom and integrity, but that can exist anywhere...it's about accepting your neighbors, people around you and even people you THINK you hate. Original American ideals...rock, neo American ideals...suck

[luekdethwish]

@xpredox you make it seem like everyone in america is stupid and racist, separating people by the border. Thats the small persent that gets media attention. America has stereotypes of being ignorant stupid nutcases. Germany has stereotypes about being hateful evil nazis. Neither are true for everyone. America is a country, and countries have people with all sorts of views, so basing an entire nation (the size of Europe nonetheless) on one groups views is ridiculous.

[ANBUblackops666]

@luekdethwish true but the ones in power seem to be the predominant nutcase-assholes. and everyone in existance is ignorant so you both were kinda wrong. btw *percent

[ANBUblackops666]

@xpredox I live in america and i sure as hell don't consider myself and american. i don't choose to give up my freedoms and rights for "security" and i sure as hell know that people should be allowed to be together regardless of birthplace. your right the borders are artificial and temporary. the have no use other than to start controversy that distracts us from how badly we are getting fucked by the upper 1% but i digress. i feel as if i went a bit off topic lol

[SkaGetsMeHigh]

@xpredox The Rio Grande, Niagara Falls, the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific and the Atlantic are all quite natural. (:

[ZillerDudVids]

@xpredox

When i think of America, i think of kicking ass and eating cheesburgers.

'Merica!!!

[NoahDaPwner]

@xpredox Actually, America was named after Amerrigo Vespucci, and he didn't kill native americans, he was the one who traced the first amp of the entire new world.

[lulu89PB]

@xpredox Just FYI: Columbus was Italian

[dizzyonacid]

@GeneralArrow noob.

[mreid3778]

@metalfaust19 I'm going to assume your sheltered, or easily brainwashed. The last thing americans do is accept people from all walks of life. take a look at racism, its still rampant there.

[KingDeadly626]

@mreid3778 Just enjoy the music dude. No one wants to read your crap comments while listening to such good music.

[mreid3778]

@KingDeadly626 I was responding to someone elses crap comment. well aware its good music. why are you commenting? maybe you should try just enjoying the music ... hypocrite

[Surfjockey]

@metalfaust19 But the united states of america's only say 200 years old and nothing it has contributed in the form of philosophy isn't really orginal seeing as it was all born from other cultures.

[sudikai]

@metalfaust19 shit theres a such thing?

[RaymondoPerson]

@bandrascal89 this is the lamest pun ever, I hate whoever upvoted this

[bandrascal89]

@RaymondoPerson yeah, just a play on words kind of thing. But don't get me wrong, I love these guys. I just over read a debate on one of their video's comment. And I guess, sorry to bring it back up, that people would say that because of their sound. I can definitely hear the easter european sounds on some of their songs. Not this one though, just great third wave ska here.

[sonicisawesome159]

I actually memorized the lyrics to this.... I have no life.

[CupoPuddn]

nah, all the streetlight songs are pretty catchy and you end up wanting to memorize them

[Mortheal13]

I've memorized the lyrics to everyone of their songs lol. Don't sweat it.;P

[baconrox22]

@Mortheal13 haha same here

evn their botar and a few gimp songs

[sirstanlee]

dude...a lot of us have this song memorized.

Not a damn thing wrong with that.

[slightlystoopid91]

these guys put on the best concert ever

[streetlasser]

YES SO AWESOME!!! streetlight is my favorite band to see live

[boredomesucks232]

streetlight be boss!!

[Skakid247]

Why do all of these streetlight songs have this califorinia hxc stuff on them? The Sams?

[rockfan2121]

It's the person's band. He didn't have a pic and used this. That, or he is advertising.

[r3dfanatic]

this band fuses all different typs of music into der songs

[thelemon72]

Not really. I mean I can see punk influences but this band is the epitome of ska.

[sirstanlee]

yes, really...if you listen to all their songs, you hear classical, latin, ska, punk, and many in between

[firemist23]

this is the most unique band I've ever heard..wow. I love it !!

[VisionsOfClarity]

i love the chord at 2:25 gives me chills haha

[neurocytohemotoxic]

Fucking sick!!!!!!!!!!

[manu909]

i wanna get up and take a dump but the songs to good

[bboypandemic]

lol what the hell, well im hungry but i cant eat cuz the music is 2 sexy

[Shualuck]

dude, that's hilarious. I'm in the same boat!

[Inyerbed]

@manu909 I can relate to this.

[ANBUblackops666]

@manu909 really this is the highest rated comment... wow

[SexyAfroKid]

Tomas Kalnoky is one of the greatest humans alive.

[joed988]

Sign with sideone already!!

[SManifestosSkatastic]

omegadot you are freaking lucky. only seen em once, it blew me away i cant wait to see em again, they are the best.

And this will be played at my funeral. For sure. I will make sure haha.

[tk356]

[verygoodtobi]

[CKtheStorm]

[TheFunnelWebb]

Best streetlight song. Fuckin' epic.

[SharpieTwoToner]

Love This Song, All I Can Say Is FUCK Guitar Solo's. I Know Some Of Their Songs Have Guitar Solo's But You Can't Beat The Brass Man

[NWBZ3R0]

No Offense, But Why Are All Your Words Capitalized? Like I said no offense :)

[SharpieTwoToner]

Old Computer Would Freeze Cause I Typed Too Fast, The Shift Key Slowed Me Down. Now It's Just A Habit.

[Nicoleacolabottle]

LEEDS FEST! Can't wait to see these guys : )

[muler321]

Saw 'em at warped tour; F'ing AMAZING!!!

[dudee624]

Lucky bastard... I could have seen them  but my grandparents 50th anniversary fell on the same day...
