  • cool

    

  • Holy Crap! I wish this song were longer.

  • @disintegratingeden Yeaaahh.. I figured that out.. like 11 months ago xD.. <3

  • Why did I not find this band years and years ago?? O_O

  • If you listen they say they we're laying scratch tracks in GB. Then finishing and re recording in Pro Tools... Simple stuff kids. Either way, the whaler is still my all time favorite song.

  • Even though the albums was released long time ago, i still love to watch this trailer.

    Somehow enchanting...

  • i can't believe this was done in garage band

  • nuh uh.. really? garage band?!?!? if that's true i am fucking amazed.

  • thats impossible. garage band doesnt have the capabilities to finalize and master tracks

  • have you heard of outboard gear, its totally possible to do an album in garage band. tho i doubt it.

  • they definitely did it in garage band, they said it themselves. geniuses.

  • how does Alchemy Index V1-2 differ to V3-4? i really like the sound of Vhessiu, but still enjoy a bit of the heavier side like Image Invisible. i love progressive and experimental, just want to hear the ease of heavy to soft first.

  • Fire is really heavy, whereas Water is really laid back, but with lots of instrumental layering. My favourite is Air, it's really got a mix of everything, and Earth is really rootsy.

  • thanks bud, listening to Digital Sea atm, love it had the album for about a month so far. but im getting The Devil You Know before i consider Alchemy Index 3-4, Black Sabbath (Heaven & Hell) are incredible.

  • This is brilliant. Simply brilliant. Thrice are doing things no other band in music are doing today.

  • you could use the video response feature to link to the next parts e.g. part 1/10 is respone to 2/10 a.s.o.

    nice vid btw

  • this song is really beautiful.

    and looking at the text comments, it's fans are so much more mature and supportive compared to a lot of other music comment pages. it's a nice break from the "this music f*cking sucks", "then why are you watching the video anyway dude" routine.

  • People, please realize that this is the best band out there!!

  • what's the name of this song?

  • Silver Wings

  • a perfect example of a band maturing musically in the most perfect way

  • mannn i like this version more than the album version... SO MUCH MORE.

    though...

    they are bothh absolutely amazing

  • I love the old Thrice and the new Thrice. I'm not sure which I like better, they're both great.

  • i guess you just like thrice then

  • I think its impossable to not like thrice! I mean they are so diverse! They have so many kinds of music, from post hardcore to cabarre... Unless ofcourse your one of those people who only listens to like rap and RnB... Then your one of those people who has the attention span and cultural analiticy of a crack adicted monkey... I love the depth of thrice, so it hits things on both good music and good meaning...

  • rofl. i like the way you think :D

  • I've never heard a band so originally capture elemental essence in sound. It's cool!

  • fucking typical

  • wings**

  • anyone knows the name of the song in the beginning

    ?

  • i believe the song is called silver wins

  • yeah thrice's old stuff was good...but you have to respect the fact that this band is one of the most versatile bands on the circuit...they have progressed incredibly since the release of Veheissu ( a fantastic album btw) The Index albums is a pure time capsule of the bands career and it shows the undeniable versatility and progression of the group as a whole.

  • The alchemy index disappointed me. I personally don't like the new music. I liked the old hardcore music. Please go back to the way you used to be.You used to be my favorite band

  • What's wrong with growing musically? It's called experimenting. You can't be stuck in a time capsule. I give them tons of respect for being so damn versatile, and to saying "Please go back to the way you used to be. You used to be my favorite band" is very closed minded. wow.

  • i love this song, i just got earth and air it's awesome!!!!

  • I love Thrice just as much as anyone else does and I love the Alchemy Index, but I find a lot of Thrice fans to be assholes. Theres not one Thrice concert I go to where I hear Thrice fans cutting down the opening bands and all that nonsense. Get a life. No one in Thrice would do that shit. PS: This song kicks ass.

  • Yeah its true but thats how all people are about music i just feel uncomfortable to even mention what i like anymore I am so open minded to all music i just shut the fuck up and dont even speak kind of sad people can't just accept that others peoples opinions are around/oh i am using my bros youtube tag so if you dont get me back with a response again sorry

  • Let me re phrase that, The greatest band ever.

  • One of the greatest in my eyes as well. Long live Thrice!

  • this song acoustic was amazing. Teppei's harmonies meshed perfectly with Dustins powerhouse vocals. Thrice=Music

  • this song and Broken Lungs are amazing...this band will be forever one of the greatest in my eyes

  • yeah, broken lungs rocks. 9/11 was an inside job.

  • wow... cant stop listenin to it.. tis amaaazin!! do wish it was longer tho so i dont hav to keep clickin play!! acoustic version is sic aswell. caaant wait 4 album 2 cum out xD

  • From tender years you took me for granted.

    But still deign to wander through your lungs.

    While you were sleeping soundly in your bed,

    Your drapes were silver wings your shutters flung.

    I drew the poison from the summer sting.

    I breathe the fire out of your fever and

    I moved in you and stirred your soul to sing.

    And if you let me I will move again.

    I danced with sunlit strands of auburn ????

    Before the final words we've known your death.

  • I've pitied you and flied your sails with air.

    A blessing when you rose upon my breath.

    And after all of this I am amazed,

    That I am cursed far more than I am praised.

    That is what I got from the full acoustic version. Some parts I couldn't quite make out but other were cleared up from the discrepancies before.

  • i eased the fire from your fevered skin.

    I danced with sunlit strands of lovers hair

    and to finish it off...

    "i pitied you and plied your souls within

    gave blessing you when you rose upon my breath

    and after all of this i am amazed

    that i am cursed far more than i am praised

  • there's an acoustic version for this song

  • i can tell air n this song will b my fav out of the elements

  • Audiogasm.

  • God this song sends shivers down my spine each time i hear it, its so achingly beautiful

  • Dusitn is just... a genious

  • Dusitn is just... a genious

  • Why does everyone think they say "peel you and part..."?

    That doesn't make any sense, sounds more like "peel you apart" don't you think?

  • I think I'm goin' gay for Dustin Kensrue

  • Thrice are simpily amazing.

    And Dustin is so talented.

    He signed my shoe and gave me a hug and i got a picture with him and i got the set list. I can honestly say that it was the best day of my life.

    Dustin can sing ANYTHING!

    everyone i have ever showed something he has done either from thrice or his solo stuff has found at least one song that they love

  • amen

  • that is one of the truest statements

  • haha man, they do that on purpose.

    the 4 sonnets all end with the same chord progression and the same vocal melody.

    It kind of ties the four discs together.

  • yeah d00d. they're not trying to hide it either. you can read interviews online with Dustin where he explains it.

  • Weak????? Wow, really. All i've got to say is Thrice is amazing and one of the only bands to actually take risks musically, and I love them for it!!!

  • haha you pretty much just posted a comment that screams "I'm a moron!"

  • dude... I flipping love this song.

  • i really dont think that there is a better band then thrice....i almost hit a kid for say they were gay like i know it his opion but its thrice so i called him a faggot and told him to eat dick

  • wow aren't you big and tough. 13 years old?

    just because someone doesn't like your favorite band, that doesn't give you the right to call them a "faggot" and tell them to "eat a dick". And it definitely doesn't make you look "cool" by bragging about it on youtube, of all places.

  • and who has done it? I'm afraid i'm going to have to disagree. I have been with Thrice since the Identity Crisis days and i can say that i have seen this band mature and improve moreso than any band. why are they not original my friend?

  • Have you seen them live? You can't call that plain. They're better than on their fricken albums, and their albums are awesome. Stage presence=INSANE. Who cares who's original. It's just the pure music in general that matters.

    But i guess we can put up with one guy's delusional opinion, so quit giving him minus points people.

  • Wow dude, you're really missing the point. The album is not about the name, but rather the concept. Sure, Trophy Scars did use the word Alchemy in their album, but tell me, in your "whole world of music" knowledge, how many bands have created a four disc record based on the four classical elements and having them relate lyrically and sonically? So think twice before accusing someone of not being "too" original. You deserve a facial fisting.

  • Dude...look at my first comment. All I said was that it's not too original, but that it's still good and they're still good. I like this song, and I like their new albums, but given the choice, I'd rather listen to something else. Facial Fisting? Sounds fun.

  • vol 3 and 4? nice! thanx for the info man.

  • this band makes feel happy and sad in the same day..is this song gonna be in the air disc?simply amazing!once again thrice shows us that is one of the most important and talented band..

  • so it's not our yet right? vol 4 n' 5 i mean.

  • awsome song... wich one is it?

    this guys are making some progressive rock now...i'm impressed.

  • Hands down, best fucking band of all time, by far, bar none.

  • evryone they have posted the lyrics for this song already like months ago.

  • Where? You mean Thrice did or just people trying to pick out the lyrics from the video?

  • just people, not thrice...at least not that I know of.

  • From tender years you took me for granted

    but still I dare to wonder through your life

    And you were sleeping soundly in your bed

    Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters fire

    will peel you and part, switch souls with you

    A blessing when you rose upon my breath

    And after all, alas, I am amazed

    that I'm cursed far more than I am praised.

    *There are lines missing since the song has been edited*

  • I am like 99% sure it is "deign to wander through your lungs" and "shutters flung."

    If you look at the little teaser thing from Vagrant, you can get the lyrics all jumbled up and you can pick these out a bit.

  • maybe you are right...I acutually hear 'For ten great years'... but I remember seeing 'From tender years...' on the site so thats why I wrote that even though thats not what I hear. ...Can hardly wait for the release...This song...damn it sounds good.

  • the last line sound like he says "that I am cursed for more than I embrace.

  • And after all of this I am amazed..

    That I am cursed for more then I am praised..

  • I think its "Ill peel you apart switch souls with you."

    ....maybe

  • Needs ten syllables. That is nine. BUt it is something close to that.

  • From tender years you took me for granted

    But still I deign to wander through your lungs

    While You were sleeping soundly in your bed

    Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters flung.

    I peel you and part, switch sould with you,

    A blessing when you rose upon my breath.

    But after all of this I am amazed,

    That I am cursed for more than I am praised.

    I think that is how it goes. I am pretty suire about the first half. But from "shutters flung" on I can't quite tell.

  • I think the last line is "That I am curse far more than I am praised." Cursed for more, doesn't really make sense. Say that in a common day sentence doesn't flow. "I am going to curse you for more than you are praised." Doesn't really make sense. I certainly could be wrong though :) Thanks for posting these. "still I deign to wander..." makes a lot of sense. Glad you cleared these up.

  • Yeah, I was having trouble distinguishing that for vs. far thing. But I mean either one could work grammatically. If you think "I am cursed for more (things) than I am praised (for)." BUt yeah, still not sure either way.

    Anyway, I thought these worked a lot better than what people have posted previously because it actually has a sonnet rhyme scheme. The only line that doesn't fit as a sonnet is "I peel...with you" because itr isn't iambic pentameter (ten syllables, every other one stressed).

  • havent listened to this in a while....i cant wait for the next two elements!

  • this song is epic.. my son of 2 months was crying..did not want to go to sleep.. no bs i played this vid and he was sound asleep by the end of it. So soothing and calm just amazing.

  • I'm telling you... A Storm in Heaven by Verve is hands down one of the most influential album of the past fifteen years.

  • They've once again made an amazing album.

    Fire & Water are both more excelent(words aren't enough to define them), and I can't wait to hear the second part(of I guess, the third and fourth parts) of The Alchemy Index.

    I'll keep listenin' Fire & Water 'till them.

  • I think Thrice did what other bands are scared to do...they produced 4 different types of music, incorporating all of their talents into 4 seperate works of art.....i noticed someone had said "Thrice isnt the band for small minds" and i 100% agree with that..yeah the music is great, but take a moment to actually listen to the words. and once you do, you will appriciate Thrice in a whole other perspective....absolutely amazing. Dustin, Teppei , Riley , Eddie....my hat is off to you guys...wow..

  • Bing! so true what you say, all their other albums always had a deeper meaning. Listening to their music has become a soothing daily ritual when i'm taking the bus to the city.

  • you idiot.

    their music

    is so much more sophisticated now.

    vheissu was the start of something fucking great, and this is the next step.

  • I got the new album in my videos. All the songs from it. Feel free to check em out. Thrice FTW!

  • This is the Air Sonnet. It'll be the last Listen to the last bit, after the pause. It's got the same chord progression and roughly the same melody as in the end of the songs "The Flame Deluge" and "Kings Upon the Main".

    I love itttt.

  • Beautiful, simply beautiful. Hard to say anything else. It gives me goosebumps. Thrice just seems to get better with every album.

  • Simply breath taking...hands down one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. Ahh, can't wait until spring!

  • This makes me very eager to get the Air disc

  • yeah to anyone whos bitchin about the new direction their heading in, if you haven't noticed they are kinda headed in four separate directions so if Air isn't your thing, you've got three other types of music by them to try out.

    personally I think this is amazing, thrice has always been a pretty deep band but now they're digging deeper and i love it and i love how sincere and caring they are.

  • seriously, if i wanted to hear the same garbage over and over i would have sold my soul to the unoriginal dumbass rap community years ago.

  • youre an idiot. end of story.

  • If you don't like the new sound then don't fucking buy the albums you bunch of nancies. Simple as that.

    WAAH, WAAH, THEY'RE NOT HARD ENOUGH AND I'M A TWELVE YEAR OLD GIRL ABOUT IT. Fact is artists change their styles, and it's impressive to see how much thrice has changed, because that's what's called being dynamic. If all the albums fucking sounded the same, there'd be no point in releasing a new one, now would there?

  • heck yah man. anybody who is gonna complain about thrice's new direction can go suck a fat one.

  • does anyone know of any bands that makes music similar to this song?

  • it's that i am cursed FOR more than i am praised.

  • anyone know what kind of microphone Dustin is singing into at the end?

  • pop?!

    pop????

  • pop?

  • Ladies and gentleman, a masterpiece is coming out.

  • This song has four more verses, idiot. A sonnet has 14 lines.

    Anyway. this album will be ohhhh. like an orgasm

    Sex+This song= Heart Attack.

    I can't wait for the air disc to come out. waaaaaaaaaaa i can'ta wait for the whole album to come out

  • For ten great years you took me for granted

    But still I dare to wander through your life

    And you were sleeping soundly in your bed

    Your drapes were silver wings, your shutters fly

    I will peel you and part; switch souls with you

    A blessing when you rose upon my breath

    ...and after all of this I am amazed

    That I am cursed far more than I am praised...

  • (For those of you too lazy to read back a few pages.)

  • I'm getting really exited about this album(s) first time i've gotten psyched about music for a while. So glad they dropped Island Records.

  • This is the Air Sonnet, right?

  • In a press release dustin said that each sonnet is from the personified view of the element speaking about mankind.

  • Fire Disc-FirebreatherThe MessengerBackdraftTheArsonistB­urn The FleetThe Flames Deluge

    Water - Digital SeaOpen WaterLost ContinentNight DivingThe WhalerKings Upon The Main

    Don't Forget each disc has a sonnet.

  • where did you find that info?

  • i really am amazed..

    could someone post the lyrics? please..?

    ^^

  • dude this is gonna kick sooo much forking ass!!!!

    i love thrice..... musicall geniu'

  • somebody put up the 2nd video!!!NOWW!!!

  • someone put up the new one.

  • I'm so positive that these guys are going to go down as one of the greatest and underappreciated bands of this generation. Vheissu was one of the best records I've heard in the last 10 years. Alchemy is so huge we're getting 2 discs this year and 2 discs next year. I CAN'T WAIT! I'm going to devour this album. It's going to be such an event in the world of rock and roll. Band's don't do this kind of thing anymore.

  • I completely agree. When will the rest of the world realize thrice's greatness!? Sometimes I do think it takes a certain level of intellect to appreciate all aspects of their music.

  • amen to that. Pretty much all bands respect thrice.

  • Yeah they do. You just have to find them.

  • This is an epic song, to be one of many on what i'm sure will be the most epic set of albums i've ever heard in my life. Thrice has grown so much, and they continue to be my favorite band. As much as i love their old music (like Illusion of Safety for example) i'd be upset if i heard another album like that, and Thrice is set to not copy old material, i love and respect them for that.

  • Hey count me in. I think this band is incredible. Second only to the HEED themselves. By they way, I loved the second video!!!!.... OH wait.... yea.... Haha. All i know is Thrice, Then Coheed, the TMV...Amazing.

  • omg!!! this is so unbleivably awesome!!! cant wait any longer!!!!!

  • this album (or what ever you want to call them) is going to be epic... I can't wait for it, I've been a fan from the get go and I think that they have come from something amasing and grown into something even bigger. I'm glad they jumped out of island too.. everyone knew that a label like that would eventually try to gip a little to hard for the collective creative mind that is thrice! sound great so far fellas! bring on video 2 of 10

  • For Ten Great Years You Took Me For Granted

    But Still I Dare To Wander Through Your Life

    And You Were Sleeping Soundly In Your Bed

    Your Drapes Were Silver Wings; Your Shutters Fly

    I Will Peel You And Part; Switch Souls With You

    A Blessing When You Rose Upon My Breath

    ...And After All Of This I Am Amazed

    That I Am Cursed Far More Than I Am Praised...

  • Pretty damn good but im almost positive the last line is actually

    That I Am cursed FOR more than i am praised. not a big deal very nice, they call this a sonnet, i dont see sonnet rhyme scheme, but thrice is really smart,especially dustin so im sure it is a sonnet of some kind.

    P.S. Oct 16th!!! cant wait love the new thrice sounds

  • i take it back FAR more is correct

  • a sonnet is ten syllables every line for ten or so lines so there are two more most likely

  • tntfs. (thats nice thanks for sharing)

  • Sounds awesome

  • I think I could write a book on everything I love about this band. But fortunately for you, I am going to put the sparknote version right here so you don't have to endure thousands of pages of me saying, "I like them because they are really good."

  • Basically this is what I have to say about the whole old Thrice/new Thrice debate. It is undeniable that The Illusion of Safety is an unbelievably, amazing album. So much raw emotion packed into those dozen or so songs. I agree wholeheartedly with those who think the album is great from a musical standpoint.

  • But on the other hand, Vheissu is no less amazing. The raw emotion we see in older Thrice is just tamed and tailored so that the noise is more than just noise, it is melodic heaven (to me at least). For those of you who require fast beats and screaming, just listen to the scream at the end of For Miles. It is so passionate and it is obvious that Dustin put his heart, mind and body into making it as epic and explosive as it is.

  • That scream alone should be enough to tell everyone that music isn't about a certain genre or style, it is about the passion for making it. Fast beat slow beat, it doesn't matter. If I hear an album that shred for 13 songs straight, then great. But if there is no want and no desire mixed in, it is not worth listening to in my opinion. I don't want empty lyrics and vocals. I don't want meaningless music.

  • Old Thrice and new Thrice were both filled equally with passion. They are fairly equal in my eyes. But I don't want another IOS. Why would I want Thrice to make the same music they have already made? I want new music. I think that Thrice's progression is great. I hope everyone can see where I am coming from. They are the same band, playing with the same passion for what they do. They have just evolved in the way they present that passion.

  • Good solid posts. You win ;)

  • Finally, someone who has the same opinion I do about brilliant band. Passion be the forerunner, nothing else.

  • omg... this is such an audiogasm. is there a name to this song?

  • it doesn't have a name, but it's on the air disc and it's described to be somekind of a sonnet... sooo i guess 'air sonnet' etc. etc. will do for now

  • They say final name will be given, but we have to wait to spring of 08' to hear it

  • thrice will win something with that new element cd !

    I promise ...those guys are clever and write beautiful

    music ...i mean sometimes hard rock and sometimes soft ...they just grew up

  • Thrice has grown up. I suggest all you people who want them to do punk/thrash/metal music might want to do the same.

  • Honestly Im tired of people saying there newer albums aren't as good as illusion and identity crisis. They need to grow up and broaden there music preference. Vheissu was nothing short of amazing. Yes there music is becoming different and I think more than half the thrice fans would agree there music is never bad and is only getting better and better.

  • a piece of art. everytime i hear something new from them it's more amazing.

  • put simply: out of this world. just beautiful, just so goddamn beautiful...

  • damn....if this is just the sonnet, then the songs are going to be spellbinding.

  • I swear thrice has either influenced my entire music selection, or I am influencing theirs.

    Cannot WAIT for this album.

  • This sounds so good i fell like crying with happiness.

  • ya i'll go with 'in your bed' - it makes more sense - and I can hear it now too. but I still hear 'fire' and 'alas' - whatever - it doesn't really matter.

  • i hear 'in your bed' for sure

  • I feel like I am in love with Thrice all over again.

  • AWESOME TO THE MAX

  • I am obsessed.

  • yes Vheissu was the greatest album ever. The newer Thrice songs are soooooooo much better - Not that I don't like the old stuff too because its awesome also, just not as good as the new stuff.

  • your fuckin crazy man, The illusion safety was far the better album, if anything Vheissu was last of them all

  • pschhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • wow. haunting. beautiful. shivers. love it. can't wait to hear more

  • don't get me wrong... i love thrice, they where in before these Emo fucktards even knew who My Chemical Romance was. I'll always love them, but i don't like the new stuff at all, its not who i once listened to and loved, but i support them... i thank them for making Junior year of HS the best =)

  • There are a few people on this thread who are just downright assholes who are convinced that everyone who thinks old thrice stuff is better is a dumb teenager masturbating to sum 41 or some BS.

    The truth is that around these parts there is a minority of thrice PC police, who feel it is their duty to get all huffy at anyone who dares to express an opinion that differs from their own. I think it is clear enough from reading down thread who these fucktards are.

  • ooohhh myyy god..shiiiivverss!!

    love it.

  • For ten great years you took me for granted

    But still I dare to wander through your life

    And you were sleeping soundly in your bed

    Your drapes were silver wings; your shutters fly????

    I'll peel you and part, switch souls with you again???? (11 syllables not 10)

    A blessing when you rose upon my breath

    And after all, alas, I am amazed

    That I cursed far more than I am praised

  • For ten great years you took me for granted

    ok thats what Im going with
