this is what drugs do to bands.... they make them awesome, even if its different.. the alchemy idea and elements... fucking genius... and every song sounds and feels like the element it is...
I used to listen to this song when I was partying all the time and cheating on the girl i loved. The attraction of distraction was greater than my emotion and devotion. =) you like that? credit me on that quote when you talk about cheating on your girlfriend when partying and you only party to distract yourself from responsibilities. that is completely true. can't stop thinking about that girl almost two years later. Tangent haha
Listening to this song makes me sad. But i don't mind. After all, excellence come with a price tag. T_T Damn, i can't stop listening to it... T_T At this rate, i will flood my own grave rather than digging it. T_T
I love this song and all of alchemy index. i believe when thrice made these 4 volumes they were showing that they can preform different styles of music. and they did it wonderfully.
I'm amazed that they've actually seemed to capture the elements in 4 different music styles. You really could describe these songs as being "earthy." or "Raw." and the same goes for the other 3 volumes. It's freaking wicked.
I'm quite disappointed in the last decade. Back then in the 70's through the 90's some of band including the popular bands started off weak but eventually got better and better over time writing different music and sometimes creating new genres and noteworthy stuff, nowadays, there's is only a handful that go to different territory and some bands get worse over time. What happened?
i think its funny that people say they older albums are better acting like thrice would appreciate that... but theres a reason they changed... may it be drugs or just personal style, but either way, they do well showing emotion in the music, regardless of the style, im a big fan of all of the albums, i relate to the alchemy most just cause its more my style but they are amazing regardless
When I hear this song, I can imagine myself sitting in some cafe in France. It's awesome how Thrice can handle so many different styles, and do it so well. These guys seriously are geniuses
This song makes me think of my dad.. He's an alcoholic and a smoker. He remarried a year after him and my mom divorced. He says he's happy with his new life, but I have a feeling he's really sad and trying to forget what happened between him and my mom. :/
the fact of the matter is thrice grew up and started to do what pretty much every band does and take what the fans think the band is and totally turn it around when they experiment with there music which has been the way for years its nothing new. The Alchemy Indexs will probably give thrice great recognition in the future with like music theory and maybe even the hall of fame and they did the same thing with Beggars. Over all every album they have put out is amazing in my opinion.
One of the creepiest band I've ever heard - not in bad way, I like their music. Singer voice always make feel like I'm hypnotized. Names of songs and melodies makes me to think death. Oh well!
estoy impresionado con los ultimos trabajos de Thrice, cada vez han ido explorando nuevos sonidos lo que les da un gran nivel como banda... en especial este ultimo disco. Cuando me llego escuchar este tema lo encontre simplemente hermoso, desearia escucharlo en vivo alguna vez... pero no he encontrado nada =(
Espero esta gran banda sigan por el buen camino en que va encaminada
I think it's sad that on every single Thrice Video someone says listen to identity crisis, Identy Crisis is awesome dont get me wrong and people really should listen to it, but it is so disrespectful to act like that is their only good record or that thier first three are their only good records. I hope you dont honestly believe you are getting some sort of invisible musical credibility by acting like you are a true fan of a band by only referencing their older stuff.
i agree, also identity crisis is one of taste in music, personally the alchemy index is something that should never be touched, its perfect as it is. its a new direction by thrice and therfore should not be compared to the other. brilliant album!!!
@TheChipz1 First impressions was shit. Identity crisis was the shit tho. Afterwards, they managed to keep getting better, or at least didn't make anything that was below the level of IC. I'll have the illusion of safety over any other album tho... Or Beggars, depending on the mood, I suppose.
It doesnt even matter what the song is about that Thrice has made, everyone of them is so beautiful and real that it makes me tear up. I love their music....
You cant make music this good if your in it for the money... Thrice has such a passion for music its just breathtaking.. anyone who says otherwise needs to kick back with the entire alchemy index then turn on the radio and compare
I like "Song For Milly Michaelson" a lot BUT my favorite song is definitely Daedalus (Digging My Own Grave is second favorite). I love me some Dustin ^_^
I don't follow. Are you saying that when I said "These fellows should be juggernauts making millions" I was implying that they would have money? Because I wasn't implying I was stating they should.
The best part is the more money they make, the better off someone is. They donate %10 of all sales per album to a different charity each time. Selfless and brilliant.
Yeah but, maybe Thrice is making good music and his constantly trying to improve themselves because they don't have that much money. Put someone into trouble he's gonna tread water like a madman to go to the top.
If they were trying to improve themselves for funds, they'd adhere to the market that is selling not release a four disk concept album. I guess it's a matter of opinion I don't think the money would change Thrice too much.
I love knowing how much money people make. I don't mean it in an envious, nosy or coveting kind of way. It's just such a taboo subject, and I'm curious. Especially with jobs like 'Musician' or 'Astronaut' or anything not 9-5.
My friends and I are all really open about money. We never used to be, but one day someone just started a conversation about how much we all had, what our outgoings were, etc. and everyone loosened up. It's interesting because it puts stuff in perspective.
this is what drugs do to bands.... they make them awesome, even if its different.. the alchemy idea and elements... fucking genius... and every song sounds and feels like the element it is...
