to everybody disrespecting this band with those "maynard is better. maynard's cover beats this. i want to gargle maynard's man juice." type comments think about this: while you're disrespecting this band, your god obviously has respect for them otherwise he wouldn't have covered one of their fucking songs. so get off his dick for 4 minutes and 27 seconds and enjoy this awesome original.
If you are a homo and love Maynard so much to were all you can say to every fucking song is, "Oh my Maynard sings this song better or My Maynard is a god", then go tell your parents you love them then walk into your room, which is probably still your parents house and blow your brains out you fags.
@Kurtney4594 Maynard isn't a singer. He's a brilliant writer that just happens to be able to sing what he writes.
With that said... Anyone who thinks APC's version is better are the people who had never heard of Failure before that cover was done. I don't think Tool/APC could cover a Failure song any better than Failure originally performed it. And I don't think Failure could cover a Tool/APC song any better than Tool/APC originally performed it. All are great original bands.
ive never heard a song that can create an image of a junkie whos lost his mind and is in treatment talking bout falling in love with a nurse giving him pills fucking magic
I have searched for years for this song. How have I lived without hearing this band before? There is now one more ray of light from music in my life due to this song.
@Negleglumenglemur Yes I agree that the APC version has what you mentioned, however Failure's original does have it own unique chaotic quality. The chaos that comes with being a drug addict is prevalent and perfectly captured.
one of my coworkers introduced me to this band last winter and ever since then, i've been dazed and amazed by their work. even in blue-collar Iowa, Failure is worshipped and revered. as a 23 year-old, i'm trying to understand what it would feel like to listen to this when i was in 2nd grade--the year this album was released. absolutely genius.
Yeah APC's cover brought the unawakened and uneducated to the brilliance of Failure and maintained the proper requirement of not being better than the original. So it fulfilled its need. Now you should go search for Ken and Maynard singing and playing this song together live and return down the rabbit hole.
i hada dream about this song n i was getting married n this was my wedding song i didnt kno the lyrics til today:) i didnt realize this was a song about a girl he wanted to marry im gona use this as my wedding song if i ever get married :)) its perfect
Failure used to tour with Tool in the early 90s, so APC covering this isn't as oddball as it seems. Plus the lyrics fit nicely with Thirteenth Step's drug-rehab theme.
This is a beautiful and unique song. I love the rise and fall of the music, the piano, crescendo, everything. Very original. I love APC's version for its uniqueness and beauty as well.
Check out a podcast review of Failure's Fantastic Planet on Dig Me Out, a weekly podcast dedicated to digging up lost College Rock, Alt Rock, Indie Rock and Hard Rock of the 1990s, one album at a time. digmeoutpodcast . com
I love this damn song, yes it was APC who showed me this gem but I always wished it to be just a bit more obtainable to actually perform this song without the extra little intricacies. this is really nice just raw awesome song
If you consider this a "dime-a-dozen 90's ballad" then you don't remember the 90's very well. The use of toms, the piano, the slow, steady build that comes to a crescendo, all these things put this several steps above a generic alternative rock song. While it has the thick "sound" of the day, it's hardly run-of-the-mill. I love the APC version as well, but I recognize the greatness and originality of the Failure version as well.
I know this song too because APC covered it. But in my opinion, this version is even better, and I'm listening to it at least 30 times a day.. just wonderful :)
Everytime I hear that song, I follow the lyrics with a bright smile :)
The climax at the end of this song is amazing because you barely hear it building up as you listen to the song. If you listen to how it's built up around 3:55 and then how it just drops back down at 4:10... wow.
Still though, I like the feel of APC's cover more, its creepy. Like a guy in an asylum who daydreams about one of the nurses, and actually believes that she is falling in love with him. So good. But then again, I am one who enjoys the creepy stuff, like H.R. Giger and Chet Zar.
@Gondohar See, i saw this version as a guy who's hooked on pills, and when he winds up in the hospital due to an overdose, gets together with one of the nurses. and because she loves him, she reluctantly feeds his addiction and he uses her.
whenever listen to this song, i have a hard time containing myself. i cant walk straight, cant stand up straight, cant hear what someone is saying when this song plays. it would be an understatement to say i love this song
apc's version seems to have this ethereal, other worldly vibe. failure's seems like a broken love song that builds up to a great climax. both brilliant songs (but my fave is the original!)
I saw APC in Austin and Corpus Christi (yes I'm a texan and I don't ride a horse to work) and they played this version at both shows. What I mean by that is that they played it heavy like this. Louder guitars, really rocked it.
Love APC and Maynard is my favorite vocalist, but this version owns it. I actually found out about Failure because I read something about Tool stating Failure was all of their favorite band and toured with them in '96 or somethin
@0raluvin I was at the show in Toronto on that tour. I had never heard of Failure and honestly didn't like them, guitars were too high pitched, plus I was eagerly waiting for Tool. A friend of mine bought Magnified, I heard that, and have been a huge fan ever since. Saw them again at The Horse Shoe(small club) in Toronto in support of Fantastic Planet(I think they opened up for Soul Coughing?), they were f'n great. I have all Ken's other albums and love them all.
awesome song... apparently Keenan was a huge fan of these guys in the mid-90s, & he liked this song so much that, well, it's obvious now ;-) Whichever version you heard 1st is irrelevant... but the fact that it got some people to discover Failure, who prolly would've never heard of em to begin with cuz they're 1 of the 90s best kept secrets, is what i think Keenan was trying to accomplish by covering this song ;-)
My name is Jack Woodward. I've spent the past few years churning out music as fast as possible. Most cats record an album a year and call it a day. They deliberate on the shit that they're going to do before hand and deface the initial inspiration into obliteration. I try to capture it at the moment of conception. I don't question what I'm being told, I just write it down. Check out my music videos to hear the songs I conceived in this fashion.
@bassgod89 Or maybe quality of music is more important than how much music you've made. Charlotte Sometimes tries tow rite a song a day, and she posts the initial recordings on her blog, but she continues to work on it, and as a result, only her best songs get to her albums and our ears.
There's this girl in my class who just dropped out today. I really liked her. She wanted to be a nurse. I think she's the most beautiful girl I've seen in my life. Unfortunatley, after 5th period today, my friends came up to me and overheard a conversation between 2 friends of the girl I liked. They were talking about how the girl I liked pretended to like me. I'm really heartbroken and don't known how to deal with that. You don't call a guy cute and don't mean it. It hurts.Still care about her.
@LetsGetHighOnMorris terrrrrible but you think thats bad wait until the girls you date are just older enough to be creatively mean, let alone "youre cute" and not mean it. thats nothin.... phahh
I totally dig both versions (APC, Failure). Both bring something different to the table. Personally, I like the Failure version better. So, with that said, don't hate on me for having an opinion.
give apc some credit. if it weren't for them i wouldn't have discovered this band, and im sure im not the only one whos grateful to apc for introducing them to this wonderful underrated band.
@JIIIAIIIIMIIIIEIIIS I'm sure you're not the only one who discovered failure that way - I discovered them through Greg Edward's current band, Autolux (which also kicks ass, just in a very different way)
As for the APC cover, it's a really good cover - I love it when talented people take a good song and make it their own. Maynard really did that. I prefer the original, of course... but just barely.
@JIIIAIIIIMIIIIEIIIS did u know that maynard took failure under his wing and help them perfect there music and that the guitarest from failure played guitar for APC on the second album?
( Continued from below) @ kraphul with a different take. There would be NO APC cover song to record without Failure's original song. If you're going to act like a douche at least have some logic to what you say instead of spouting off like a highschooler.
@ kraphul, dude nobody is forcing you to like failure's song, you're entitled to your own opinion. But you sound like a retarded moron by saying this is a cover. The original is the original. Failure wrote the song, if you like APC's COVER better that's your own opinion, but stop acting like a horse's ass. Artists only cover other artists songs in the first place because they like, appreciate, and respect their work and it means something to them so they want to put the same song out there
i STILL run into people who have never heard of ken andrews and dont know that maynard covered the song. fools, the lot of them! ken andrews is amazing and lives inside me
@Zombien20 i do. i constantly make cds for new friends titled "the complete works of ken andrews" (srsly) and it contains all the failure, yotr and on cds as well as the solo 'secrets of the lost satellite' cd, and everyone who listens to the compilation loves it. this happens with a lot of bands i introduce my friends to. multitudes have become fans of matt mahaffey, and supreme beings of leisure (guys too, which i find amusing), among other artists, after meeting me.
i like this version the best deffinatly but i think that APC brou their own flavor to it and brought a different point of view to it and while it wasnt as good as the original it was still good
Amazing lyric.. what a sad song. living in a ilusion about someone who loved you but you invented all of it .. just a question the part who is talking about apples on the ground (it's about drops of blood)
I believed the song it's about a patient he's in a mental institution who the nurse gives him the medicine and he things that the nurse had a crush for him because she takes care of him..
the reason this song was covered by apc was because failures guitarist troy van leeawan also played with apc and thought it would be a cool failure song to cover, because maynard always wanted to cover a failure song since they were one of his fav bands.
You think that girl really likes you....and then, days later you find out that you was never the only one for her.....And i think, thats what this song is about ! But everyone see´s different things in it !......And thats why i love this music so much !
@jieuxarmeni - OK - gloves off. No shit douche bag. I was referring to Maynard's horrible rendition of this song on APC's "Thirteenth Step". As far as anyone should be concerned APC IS Tool, and I stand by my previous comment. Apparently some Tool-douches think this was an original by Maynard and his cronies. It stands that such a nasty slander should be pointed out as false. Have fun crying with Maynass while you contiunally beat your puniness to that pathetic "Thirteenth Step" piece of crap.
maynard and TOOL are very talented.. i don't know why you're bitching lol. In fact the original guitarist of Failure did the cover with A perfect circle on the record. Just because you don't like a band doesn't make them shit. They are a highly influential band. Oh and i love failure too, this is an awesome song, not ripping on failure at all.
Ummm yeah - guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen was in both APC and Failure who were quite buddy-buddy with Tool whom they toured with and had lots of tie ins with.... Ken Andrews actually directed Tools' " Prison Sex "video and although I don't think Failure "asked" APC to cover the tune - it probably was an off the cuff suggestion that came to light....
the perfect circle cover didn't do this song justice. they destroyed this amazing song. i like perfect circle but they shouldn't have touched this song
that is not to say that failure doesnt have a unique sound. its certainly a unique sound with the instrument that is ridged and you run a stick across to make the sound. forgive me for not knowing the name. I am ignorant in this specific interest, but it doesnt make me wrong. or right for that matter
this is a good song. but they do sound less unique than apc. apc is more focused on the singing than the guitar. for instance there is no guitar break down or hard chords. that is possibly why people say this is more radio friendly. if you disagree then go ahead and do so.
I heard this version years before the other one existed so,, APC'Sversion seems pointless or boring It's the only song on " Thirteenth Step"that I don't really like
Ironic... In a Way though I guess both versions are cool in a way...
Great song!

give apc some credit. if it weren't for them i wouldn't have discovered this band, and im sure im not the only one whos grateful to apc for introducing them to this wonderful underrated band.

@JIIIAIIIIMIIIIEIIIS I'm sure you're not the only one who discovered failure that way - I discovered them through Greg Edward's current band, Autolux (which also kicks ass, just in a very different way)
As for the APC cover, it's a really good cover - I love it when talented people take a good song and make it their own. Maynard really did that. I prefer the original, of course... but just barely.

@JIIIAIIIIMIIIIEIIIS did u know that maynard took failure under his wing and help them perfect there music and that the guitarest from failure played guitar for APC on the second album?

@JIIIAIIIIMIIIIEIIIS I'll give them credit for an ambitious cover. I knew about this band before APC was even a band.

( Continued from below) @ kraphul with a different take. There would be NO APC cover song to record without Failure's original song. If you're going to act like a douche at least have some logic to what you say instead of spouting off like a highschooler.

@ kraphul, dude nobody is forcing you to like failure's song, you're entitled to your own opinion. But you sound like a retarded moron by saying this is a cover. The original is the original. Failure wrote the song, if you like APC's COVER better that's your own opinion, but stop acting like a horse's ass. Artists only cover other artists songs in the first place because they like, appreciate, and respect their work and it means something to them so they want to put the same song out there

@MiaStar easy killer. how about instead of shouting fools at them, you educate the masses. Let everyone know how fucking awesome Failure is.
Zombien20 1 year ago
@Zombien20 i do. i constantly make cds for new friends titled "the complete works of ken andrews" (srsly) and it contains all the failure, yotr and on cds as well as the solo 'secrets of the lost satellite' cd, and everyone who listens to the compilation loves it. this happens with a lot of bands i introduce my friends to. multitudes have become fans of matt mahaffey, and supreme beings of leisure (guys too, which i find amusing), among other artists, after meeting me.

Amazing lyric.. what a sad song. living in a ilusion about someone who loved you but you invented all of it .. just a question the part who is talking about apples on the ground (it's about drops of blood)
I believed the song it's about a patient he's in a mental institution who the nurse gives him the medicine and he things that the nurse had a crush for him because she takes care of him..

the reason this song was covered by apc was because failures guitarist troy van leeawan also played with apc and thought it would be a cool failure song to cover, because maynard always wanted to cover a failure song since they were one of his fav bands.

@jieuxarmeni - OK - gloves off. No shit douche bag. I was referring to Maynard's horrible rendition of this song on APC's "Thirteenth Step". As far as anyone should be concerned APC IS Tool, and I stand by my previous comment. Apparently some Tool-douches think this was an original by Maynard and his cronies. It stands that such a nasty slander should be pointed out as false. Have fun crying with Maynass while you contiunally beat your puniness to that pathetic "Thirteenth Step" piece of crap.

maynard and TOOL are very talented.. i don't know why you're bitching lol. In fact the original guitarist of Failure did the cover with A perfect circle on the record. Just because you don't like a band doesn't make them shit. They are a highly influential band. Oh and i love failure too, this is an awesome song, not ripping on failure at all.

I came here from the video of APC's version. Beggining sounded so dissonant to me in Failure's version, but now - I dig it:) giggity:)
ultrabagon 1 year ago
Ummm yeah - guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen was in both APC and Failure who were quite buddy-buddy with Tool whom they toured with and had lots of tie ins with.... Ken Andrews actually directed Tools' " Prison Sex "video and although I don't think Failure "asked" APC to cover the tune - it probably was an off the cuff suggestion that came to light....

the perfect circle cover didn't do this song justice. they destroyed this amazing song. i like perfect circle but they shouldn't have touched this song

Failure wrote this song; A Perfect Circle covered it.
I've heard A.P.C.'s version and, although it is good, I think it is way inferior to the original.
Failure was awesome, period.

13waystocold 1 year ago
that is not to say that failure doesnt have a unique sound. its certainly a unique sound with the instrument that is ridged and you run a stick across to make the sound. forgive me for not knowing the name. I am ignorant in this specific interest, but it doesnt make me wrong. or right for that matter
IWONDERABOUTPEOPLE 1 year ago
this is a good song. but they do sound less unique than apc. apc is more focused on the singing than the guitar. for instance there is no guitar break down or hard chords. that is possibly why people say this is more radio friendly. if you disagree then go ahead and do so.

I heard this version years before the other one existed so,, APC'Sversion seems pointless or boring It's the only song on " Thirteenth Step"that I don't really like
Ironic... In a Way though I guess both versions are cool in a way...
Failure and APC kick ass
Great POst
