Thornley - Make Believe

[iiTzMrMcBaggin]

@TheChantallio

Wtf are you talking about?

[purcedure]

Kay Why Is it that this is the only copy and and every-other is broken or banned from my country!?

[TheChantallio]

Please I am not on crack, never have I touched the stuff, I am in my right mind to say that I know exactly what he is saying, for only the stars can say that they have held their worlds in thier hands, and if I were him I would thank the cast and crew as well. Thank God I know what I am talking about.

[TheChantallio]

I am so glad that Thornley wrote this song because I too have a movie inspired by my life that is even a movie trailor here on youtube called the last flight out, more and more stars are experiencing this phenomenom.

[cclbrules]

@TheChantallio i dont think your understanding the lyrics. or your just high as shit on crack

[skater35815]

they used to be heavier :(

[football3167]

Amazing Song!!

[Helldweller]

[Oobeykoala]

Barely heard about them yesterday...Love them



[redneckpwr3]

ian is one of my heros, right next to travis pastrana and al those other guys so that pretty much speaks for his music ( all of his songs never get old) (LOVE IT ALL!)

[censored297]

great song i wish the radio would play this more

[calmme1000]

Who ever wrote thing song is a freaking genuis.Thornley sings it like the geatest rock song.

[jwhitely]

I completely agree cheuno...amazing songs from these guys...I haven't heard anything that I don't like...musical genius...too bad they aren't bigger in the U.S. People are missing out on some great stuff...Glad I've made my way into the Thornley world...

[TatsFunnyStuff]

@shoopdawoop93 I don't understand your so called "warning" there buddy. Go back to your 'bieber' .

[TatsFunnyStuff]

@Landry153 lol

[accident7]

[11itisme]

10 ppl dont belive

[84salrod]

if there second album would have been better they could have been huge but they where still a good band

[WeReppiN519]

110, 777 views? seriously this should have 34823473573487 to say the least

[smitten991]

that song I jst heard...awesome

[Heckno4923]

I can't believe that their most popular video has barely 100 000 views...

[Landry153]

i had an hour argument with someone at work trying convince him that this song is "NOT" sung by Hinder! lol

[TheAnthonyNaultShow]

this version is better then the CD version, but that ones still great

[LadyMidnight03]

such an under rated band. luv thornely!!

[oliviabacks]

Im wet for this band.

[halorulesyourface]

this video made me smile. i hope i can do this with my friends some day

[1122avery1]

This is what it feels like when a hero dies, on to the next one, its funny how time flies...

[LavaMonstify]

276 people have the right taste in music(:

[Jayden0412]

OMG!!!! I love him! People Gotta Know These Guys Or They Are Just Stupid!!! People Listen!!!!! <3 Every Who Love Thornley Are AWESOME!!!!!!! :)

[AubinMagnus]

I saw him live today with Big Wreck... they were incredible. They played this song along with a bunch of other great ones and they were all so much better live, and yet the quality was just as good or better. He has an amazing voice either on album or live.

[Linklandco]

I got his autograph today! A DJ at my dad's radio station got it for me!

[skipper1231000]

Saw Ian and his band open for an mma fight in Van. B.C. this summer . Live audio!!

They sounded so good! Best part of the night!!!!

[seashellday]

I've pretty much had thornley on everyday since I looked up Daniel Adair when he completely blew me away playing Nashville a guess a year back. I had never heard of Thornley just got the CD cuz Of Daniel and just cannot stop playing it! One in a million lyrics with believe...just makes me roll down the window and crank the volume! Love 'em, simply love 'em!

[scotianovable]

this band is awesome, and Ian Thornley is a musical genius. Always impressed with his talent. he definately deserves more credit for his work.

[Beetham]

#1 most underrated band in the world...

[hammatymee]

Awesome songgg thornley is the shitt 

[dadabingtruedat]

this is my favorite song and thornley doesnt get the popularity they deserve and they work hard enough that they can get it and i just dont get why they arent as famous as nickelback or any other band.....id rather go see thornley at a concert than nickelback thats for sure

[Estradac15]

this band rocks love the song falling to pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[19cb73]

i agree, especially being a home grown wonder. Goes to show how much effect mainstream american media has on who gets airplay and who don't!

[amac2006]

I'd like to see Ian Thornley do a project with Jakob Dylan. I always found BW and WF to be quite complementary.

[survivorhfx]

best live band I've even seen!

[ckendall67]

Fantastic tune:-D

[MessengerofHopeMusic]

Ian Thornley is by fare my favorite singer.

[ab996021]

dam man why havent i herd bout this guy this song rocks so much ass

[dank6990]

terry if you listen to cj you hear this song alot personal experiance and i love this song too

[shoopdawoop93]

This reminds me of Nickelback and that's not a good thing. Music nowadays needs to stop being so generic and flooding radio and tv with mindless crap that all sounds the same. But hey, that's just my opinion. You can all listen to this and never know what true music sounds like.

[KuraMad2000]

@shoopdawoop93 sounds like nickelback? how so? there are no references to drugs, smashing things, or fellatio anywhere in the song.

[shoopdawoop93]

@KuraMad2000 I don't mean the lyrics. I mean the actual music and the feel of the song. It just seems to me like it was made to get "famous" by being the same generic style of music everyone likes. I'm not trying to flame this song, I'm just warning you about music becoming too much of the same thing. And possibly opening your minds to other styles of music, like punk, techno, metal, and anything other than this style really.

[Sirencitybass]

@shoopdawoop93 I agree, but you can't just judge Ian Thornley by this one song. This is, and I agree, a total pop song, but he's managed to add an undeniable "tastefulness" that you can hear an just about anything this guy does. So I would say I like this song more because it does follow the same structure, and predictability as other popular rock, but I don't feel dumber after listening to it. Say what you will, kick ass song.

[herreraparallel777]

I don't Know why, but this song brings some tears to my eyes......

[AGreenapp1e]

Best band in the world and i agree with you Yexle92.

[nicotinaddict]

I love this song. Ian Thornley used to be the lead singer of Big Wreck also which was another great band from the 90's.

[Kookies8z]

this band rocks! i was searching for months for this song. and couldnt find it. they deffinetly dont get a good enough popularity. but maybe thats a good thing cuz most bands that do lose alot of their talent doing stupid love songs and stuff. but u can deffinetly tell that this band is original.

[LanceCampeau]

This song is HUGE... why is Ian Thornley treated like an afterthought in the music biz? I don't get...

[igotskills13]

The whole album is awsome. I always skip this song. The rest of the album is amazing and I just saw him live. Awsome live and an incredible guitar player. Dont judge the rest of the album by this song please.

[8Andrewman8]

i agree the album is great. and i like this song just as much as the rest of the album. not judging one bit : )

[terryberry48]

@igotskills13 why do you skip this song? it's good, the beginning is a little goofy, but the chorus is good

[igotskills13]

No totally dig the song. Ive just heard it played on the radio so many times I usually pass by it. Like I said I saw him live last week and he totally blew my mind. This song as well. Always liked him but didnt realize how many great songs he had. Totally underated as an artist.

[terryberry48]

he totally is underated, they don't play his music that much on our local FM station, which is too bad because he is an amazing artist, I saw him too 3 weeks ago he was awesome, I'm always amazed when he plays The Oaf, love that song, oh that one too, lol!

[athoughtcomes]

wow...this is the wackest song i've ever heard Ian Thornley do. It's like he's so desperate to get the kind of commercial success in the U.S. that his buddies in Nickelback got that he's taken to recording their kind of crap.

[metacarpied]

@athoughtcomes I agree, I still like the song but it's a bit disappointng.

[thejon93rd]

@athoughtcomes You should listen to the CD version. Far more original and lively than this version. A lot more soul to it. Check it out.

[cjw0124844]

Canadian rock is amazing....

[terryberry48]

@cjw0124844 it is!

[slipknoises]

@cjw0124844 thornley ,, nickelback , abandon all ships!!

[slash1205]

man this song remides me of my dad he is dieing now case of cancer so i always listen to this song to remide me of him

[jrankin61]

@slash1205 real sorry to hear about your dad bro, reading this comment while listening to this song really made me feel these lyrics more.

[Linklandco]

Dude! My dad interveiwed Thornly! In Red Deer at his Radio Station Z99

[brian101193]

i live in america and i only heard of this threw a canadian friend, he's really good and your probably right about the rep thing

[DgtlDiva]

I seriously think the only reason these guys didn't see much commercial success in the US was because of bad representation/marketing -- cripes they had a major label and were on the charts in the US and Canada - he's amazing and there is no reason he shouldn't skyrocket. I'm really glad though that he's come back to Canada :)

[cheuno]

definitely think IAN THORNLEY if given the proper exposure in america would be thought of as a songwriting genius and a guitar hero.....he really does write some of the best stuff ive heard EVER....BIG WRECK is still awesome, both albums were tops

[dudefrombarrie]

@cheuno I completely agree with your comment. I love all music but Ian Thornley truly is a incredible talent. Sounds the same live as if you were listening to the CD. I'm a metal head but I could listen to these guys all day.

[abortionrock]

Has anyone else noticed that on both Ian's and Big Wrecks debut's its more really good songwriting but on BW The Pleasure And The Greed and Tiny Pictures its more guitar theory and technique thrown in (TPATG seemed to have better/more interesting results...)? Ian's a guitar hero, but no one should let theory rule their life.

[ser1988]

this is an awesome song, my favorite thou from Thornley has to be Easy Comes, Such a quality track

[hardcorr2]

sweet song! hurry and come back to vancouver need another Thornley fix 3 times this year need more!!

[Bigdicknik]

The song wasnt bad at all, the video was very cute and touching XD

[hellobrun]

another great canadian band

great song

[dixieanndalton]

I love this man... I have been a passionate BIG WRECK fan since maybe 1995... The lyrics, the guitar, Mr.Ian and his HOT self... I am happy he is still making music...Saw them in a little bitty PUB in Houston many moons ago. Forest, the drummer, loved him!!!!!!!!!!!! COME BACK TO TEXAS!!! We will even do a road trip... Just come back to the US please

[zizzlerizzle8707]

not bad song. when is the album due?

[stayback0061]

I saw him with Big wreck open for Creed in a Club at the Jersy Shore. I LOVED THEM. Now, eh not so much on his own. I like this tune, but THAT SONG still blows me away!

[brandon9271]

ya know.. Ian was always the driving force behind BW and COULD still make music that like today.. I guess because BW wasn't very commercially successful Ian has decide to try and be more mainstream where he can make a few compromises and still make a living. Problem is, he may alienate his old fans and STILL not end up any more commercially successful. (Chris Cornell's Scream album comes to mind..) I own every BW and Thornley album but didn't bother with this last one..

[hartleracing]

heard this song on the radio back when the album came out and i have been addicted to the band ever since

[beachgirl12957]

The video is definitely made to appeal to a younger audience, but the music and the lyrics appeal to everyone. Ian is great!

[Fafwea]

oedasdawer the reason why it sounds a lot like the new nickelback is because Ian Thornley played guitar for them when he was in college

They had a lot of the same beliefs and taste in music

[irina992]

awesome song :)

[m00nlightAngel]

By far their best song, such a great tone and rhythm all around, I could listen to this forever.

[oedasdawer]

sounds a lot like new nickelback...don't think dan adair had a lot of problems in recording this track :D

[SASSweetassin]

Great song! I played it over and over on my ipod while in the car and I never got tired of it! :3

[ralphspimp]

I miss Big Wreck. Thornley has been a disappiontment. That first Big Wreck album was one of the best rock albums of the last 20 years. Too bad it was largely ignored in the USA.

[3074861]

This is a great song, Ian is a phenomenal writer.

[ThePSCriticss]

Agreed with Yexle92.

[coyote7272]

i like this band

[tenspoonsofspin]

Baaaaaad video. Why have they stylized Ian so much?  Good song but it needs to move a bit quicker.

[Yexle92]

awesome song, this band doesn't get the popularity that it deserves

[coyote7272]

@Yexle92 you said it, they got some good unique stuff

[iamcondescending]

@Yexle92 it's one guy his name is ian thornley he's from a band called big wreck one of the best bands of the 90's

[hmerz]

@Yexle92 Word for word that is exactly what ran through my mind before I read your comment

[XTREMEGAMERS58]

@Yexle92 It's all 2 guys, mostly 1. Ian Thornley records all of the vocals and instruments except for drums on the Thornley albums(basicly he's a solo artist).

[censored297]

@XTREMEGAMERS58 maybe thats why its called thornley



[XTREMEGAMERS58]

@censored297 ......Yeah. lol

[gherrin]

great album, really smooth. another great song is all fall down.

[biologicalbubble]

No Suprise....good luck.......great song.

[hellobrun]

wow these guys are amazing such a great  song and band

[supertrix101]

Thornley sounds like chris cornell from soundgarden

[bluevaines]

they are actualy playing in about an hour or so in winnipeg,canada.

[jeangrey65]

It just gets better. LOVE IT!

[ReasonsWhyBand]

i just got into Thornley and their awesome

[Kanan0789]

Still delivering inspiration thornley, thank you.

[Kanan0789]

Great lyrics, great song. Great job Ian Thornley.

[pirateradioman]

***ATTENTION IAN***

Read below for your next mission...

[pirateradioman]

Dear Ian,

If you know whats good for your next career move, get back together with the boys of Big Wreckj and do a new album.

Run as far away as you can from 604 Records and that "canned" sound Chad is producing.

There is about 5 bands now that sound like one another. I hate to say you are "clumped" into that group.

What happened to the ROCK?

This is radio crap at best.

Has Thornley finally sold out to rock radio?YES.

Please don't do another 604 album.

It's like "Mutt Lange-itis" in the 90's.

[ReasonsWhyBand]

dude ur r totally wrong about these bands they are the new rock and if u cant see that then ur blind. this is the music people like because they can relate. Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman, and Thornley are great

[No2meth]

of course bands have to sell out to mainstream media; that's how they make a living.

stop being so naive

[pirateradioman]

Naive? It's not being naive.

It's telling the truth to the nay sayers that he now sounds like Nickelback.

You should look up the word "naive". Your not quite clear on its definition.

[No2meth]

na·ive or na·ïve (nī-ēv', nä-)

adj. 1. Lacking worldly experience and understanding, especially:

eg.

Naive: Believing that any initially shitty band with a shitty, small, but faithful fanbase will not change to try for mainstream culture and increase it's popularity

[1ofLouisBoys]

Ian Thornley rocks man! Great in Big Wreck & on his own.

[clm1224]

Love the lyrics !!!

[basicband]

Great song and video. Awesome stuff.

[superzee199]

hey that realy works i did it and i found $200, gave it to your mom and she kissed me.

wow your good

[richfranklin45]

can sum, one plez upload the song all comes out of the wash

[XFSXsnip3rX]

What about Nickelback? and Theory of a Deadman, they're Canadian, and they're huge.

[theelboweater]

What about bands like Our Lady Peace, The Trews, and Default who are all great Canadian bands but never get any attention in the U.S cause their not american

[ChaseEnnis]

Our Lady Peace is famous everywhere. Default, not too much, and I have never heard of The Trews and im Canadian.

This has a generic sound but i like the song

[CaseyStelken]

That's probably because they're pop-rock bands.

[clm1224]

U.S??? What ever! He's a great Canadian...But thats actually a good compliment, saying that because of all the shit thats going on there with all there Pop crap these days....... Canada music Rulz !!

[RichRoma66]

Amen

[xolovexo57]

HELL YEAH!

[theelboweater]

Thats what I'm saying, the U.S for the most part doesn't care about what Canada has to offer, if he was American he would be played everywhere

[theelboweater]

thornley is awesome, if they were from the the U.S they would be huge.

[superzee199]

best video ever

[edwestwick02]

i luv this song sooo much!!!! :)

[xXD4rkFl4meXx]

soooooooooo agreed with you . its decent and now im addicted to this band

[TaelorCrosby]

love this song!!!! :D

[ny5280]

Thank you sir, i heard the album on there website, not bad, but i think the first album is a little better, but the new album does sound good Make Believe is one of the best of the new on....

[heylisariot]

awesome video, amazing song.

[ny5280]

Hey, i got there album Come Again, back in 2004, i thought it was a very good album, was that there first album, how many albums do they have out, can someone let me know please????

[JasperJohnny]

"Tiny Pictures" is the second album under Thornley, with "Come Again" being the first.

Ian Thornley used to front the band Big Wreck if you're looking for more of the same style. Cheers.

[SmittShow]

just saw them in grand bend they put on an awesome show!

[larkspurdrive]

wow this song is awsome

[Flamingwindjutsu]

man, i friggin love this song.

[hellobrun]

such a great song i love this band

[cgames82]

Well Ian what can i say.. Great video and awesome lyrics well written. Cant thank you guys enough for making music. Has to be my fave song for sure !!!!! PS... CALGARY LOVES YOU!!!!!!

[egger000]

so far so good is my fav song by them

[CharjaminPivots]

awesome!

[stonerdemon]

Yes, he looks old, but if he looks old... that means we look old too!!! Thas the law of life my friends, but having music this good on our side as we get old... that feels great! :) I will remember Thornley when I have all my future grandsons buzzing aruond me!! ... Damn, I have to write a song about that...

[AccountingFan2008]

I like this song, but I really like his "Come Again" Song

[Octanoholic]

IN 2004 Thornley came to Little Rock, AR. They opened for breaking benjamin...I did not know who Thornley was, but apparently he is very Canadian, can play the 12 string like a son of a bitch, and did like a zoned out solo thing...I believe the song was overemphasizing???? SOmebody help me if that sounds familiar in his shows.

[jasonbobbitt]

That song is on Big Wreck's "In Loving Memory Of"... Big Wreck is a Boston Band That Thonley Fronted in the Early 2K's .. It's a solid CD through and worth the price..I also have it in MP3.. if you want a copy leave me a PM

[CalgarSkull]

AWESOME!! I like this song! Glad you are still doing music after the BW. I was a fan of that band too "Pleasure and the greed" was a kick ass album. Great hooks

[AaronCarterRocks]

We're rolling down the highway, rolling down the window. So I whip my dick out and play with it as it grows

[kristab8989]

wow hes so old now since big wreck anyway

[oneandonlykenny]

Going to see them May 8th In Ptbo Ontario

[imafishgod]

[martar49]

Wow, however is talking about genre shit, your a fag just listen to the music and leave your dumbass comments to yourself.. Homo

[moe17moe]

Now anybody  wanna overrule mine?

[rileybrigden]
