[xCecex1]

Woah!

[Mynamewhynot]

Amazing band! Such talent and great chemistry! I love you Jacob, Eric, Payam, François, and Sameer:)

[ZoeMarie14]

How could someone dislike this? Better yet, how could 2 people dislike it? I can't even fathom disliking this. Really. I can't.

[deathlydivine]

I want to close my eyes and listen to this, but something about Sameer gives me chills. You can see the passion in his eyes. Such a real performance, a real band, real music. God Bless.

[vespaboi]

Great song!! but @ 2:45 - 2:50 ,it just looks wrong. ^^

[MrWalshmannn]

Straight goosebumps and chills. The only other band that make me feel like that is Thrice.

[UnderTheWeatherBand]

Great music! And for the people that were asking about that effect or "battery shaped thing" it's called an e-bow and it's like $100.

[Sherastina]

you're good :)

[KikiBozu]

I saw them perform this life at deck the hall ball in seattle last night. I got goosebumps. so good.

[OoOEliPeliOoO]

These guys are Coldplay wrapped in a blanket of bacon. I'm just sayin'. How the hell...NAY! Why the hell do we suffocate music like this in America?!?! Katy Perry...Lady Gaga...Pink...EVERY OTHER RADIO PLAYED BATCH OF BULLSHIT!...Sorry, these guys'll probably never be heard on the airwaves...it's an EFFING SHAME!
