Pinback - Fortress

[jennyfurkat]

heard this song on radio years ago,finally I found it by chance so glad ,what a great song!

[glitterguts24]

i agree ~~

[fmasc]

great toking song.

[BLUNTEDme]

agreed

[ImSuperKewl]

Hahahaha, I tell my friends everytime we are toking that Pinback is the BEST band you can listen to stoned.

[loltehinternet]

2:35 is funny. They're just like standing there and then...

[CptnBendo]

I like all of pinbacks songs this video reminds me of King Arthur and the round table.

[Davidbasque15]

Tripoli, fortress, good to sea, crutch, syracuse, your sickness, loro, bloods on fire, montaigne, lyon, from nothing to nowhere, seville, penelope, boo, sender,non photo-blue . Those are some great song from pinback. PINBACK RULE

[ExplodingTeddyBear]

i love this song... everytime in a really bad mood i can just put this on and im feeling alright again

[brock331]

this is a cool song. if you like this try Good to Sea, I like it even better

[XxxxxJamesxxxX]

Good to Sea is catchy but I like their more downbeat songs better. Boo is my favorite Pinback song

[marcelomonttero]

pinback rules!

remember listening to tripoli almost a decade ago, and the effect it had over me. great band!

[thoughtouttwinkle]

omigod. i totally know what you are saying

[danktank20]

can anyone tell me one pinback song that they dont like because i sure as hell cant find one

[savedhaf4u]

i can't think of one, dantank.

[garmiesterpoo]

Underrated or what?

[skijunkie13]

This song is amazimg!

[sfdudette]

this song is pretty rad.

[steve4858]

This song is soooo relaxing, props!

[homerunv]

I love the dancing guards, haha!

[Trinnztubefun]

i love this song, and the video is very creative :)

[fashionwhorexo]

who is saying this is emo?

how the hell is this emo?

[Seedr0]

WHAT the hell is emo... might be more appropriate...

[walkalone19]

great band + emo vid = bad idea

[ShotToSunshine]

How exactly is this video emo?

[jewman36]

Why is this music video so similar to one of MEW's?

[diorvogue23]

love this song

[xoRla13]

pos follatela

[LemonNinjja]

2:40 is like the best part ever!

These guys are awesome, where has this band been all my life? Their music makes me feel like I can take on the world.

[bloop73]

Good song to drive home to after a tough day at the office.

[thefray41]

lol, great!

[vegadomis32988]

so chill and mellow but it rocks hard

[l4gm4n]

pwnage.

[1eskimo10]

this song kills

[Krane167]

pinback is amazing along with the band Annasay. I just discovered Annasay on itunes recently though, but they have quickly become a favorite too

[wyliesong]

sweet video. awesome song. greatness all around.

[checkkyerself]

I loved this song, and the video just makes it even more amazing!

[lewdafer]

r.i.p. terrin! you will be missed

[triinz]

Love this song.

[your1momma2was3here]

if anybody could tell me the chord progression during the chorus that would be awesome.

thanks very much

[MusicalCrusader]

D,A,F,G

[happybantum]

i was happy...then sad

[picklesthepig]

i love the way they did the music video.

<333

i heard this song on sirius. :))

[jonnystealth]

is this a single

[HOLYHECKITSPAUL]

im gonna see them on sunday! WOOT!

[natashaohburn]

ooh lucky you! :)

[CreativeMotion09]

the music is louder than his voice, cant hear the words...

[ImSuperKewl]

i can hear it...

[Peekabuuu]

The lyrics aren't always meant to be the most important part in music. The voice is just another instrument, in this song it's just used to harmonize with the rest.

Just listen to the music, and don't worry about the lyrics. :)

[LuisWahWah]

Yep. Voice can be used to induce a feeling rather than a concrete message like in Red hot Chili Peppers and Radiohead.

[pekur009]

how did you manage to find concrete messages in red hot chili peppers? ha

[BLUNTEDme]

thats kinda the point

[germanazul]

Hey look say what you want but these motherfuckers are thieves they stole my homeboys song. They played this song in Alvin before pinback.

[popewb]

hah, just saw em last night with zachstigall xD

[zachstigall]

love pinback, going to see them in concert tonight!

[Turrantula]

i love this song its awesome

[paulb10486]

dope.

[Promatheos]

Catchy.

[Caleb9849]

Just saw them here in Tucson :D was fun....this song is great. They didn't play Prog, though, my favorite :'c

[iliandeed]

they're coming to missouri they're coming to missouri they're coming to missouri i'm so STOKED!!!!

[awiller490]

hell yeah they are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[76cobraII09]

My favorite is how we breathe!!

[SenorAdam]

I think this is their best song, but Autumn of the Seraphs totally beats this album(Summer in Abadon).

[KG902]

no way...abadon is far superior

[bongripz541]

Love it!

[xDirtyHaroldx]

if it makes you depressed why talk about it on youtube?

[AlvinUnkind]

stop being a cock. he can vent about his gf if he wants. how about you not take it so personally...

you dumb bitch.

[MSW32281]

Wow, I always wondered what the name of this song was, and who sang it...I've been looking for this song for ages! I can't believe I finally found it...this song is awesome!

[savagepug]

Sweet, they are coming to Austin on the 20th, after watching some live footage I like what I see. They seem to put more energy in their songs. I'm definately gonna check them out then.

[STOOPKIDlovesstoop]

omg yes, they were AMAZING live

[savagepug]

Are these guys worth seeing live? I really dig them but I heard their live versions of their songs are different.

[metalmusicmike]

alot of live stuff is different dude, but it's usually in a good way :)

[UnosPizzaGuy]

i didnt even realize i knew the song, then i realized i was singing along lol. musta heard it when i was little

[Thraxxacor]

reminds me of serj tankians 'honking antelope'... the earth will exsist and nature will prosper long after humanity destroys itself.

[Thraxxacor]

what genre of music would this be... im more of a metalhead, but i actually liked it, and the video was cool.

[OptionallySavage]

Being a metalhead doesn't mean you can't like other types of music. This was an Indie Rock song, and Pinback are reasonably good.

And by the by, check out the band Baroness if you haven't already, awesome sludgey-doomy technical stuff.

[kennyxx3]

1. you cant compare to bands like saosin to pinback. come on now, stop being dicks and get over the comment.

2. check out crutch by pinback its another good song.

[xsgrantsx]

the drummer from this band is my drum teacher

[michellieees]

YOURR SO LUCKKY.

hmm do u happen to know what happened to the band?

[dimi56]

dude no way!

[overshadowing666]

dude, this video is wicked. aslo, i just recently heard about pinback, and they are already my second favorite band. anyone have some song suggestions for me?

p.s.fav band is Tool(danny carey is god)

[michellieees]

kay soo it seems we have the same tast in music. you probably know the gorillaz, any who try playradioplay!, the myriad, flyleaf, the faint (LOVE THEM, death cab for cutie, rogue wave.

p.s i hope you like :)

[wheresgeorge1025]

Creepy video. Song's great.

[hardinvibes]

dam, good song its a mint

[danktank20]

saosin better than pinback you must be one of those bitches who only support mainstream bullshit pinback is so underrated in ten years when pinback isnt around anymore and more people have heard about them they are gonna be HUGE just wait and see

[poopnscoopcoop]

eat some shrooms and this video makes a lot more sence

[theomiller]

Eat shrooms and most things more more sense

[soothingecho17]

this song is free on ilike

[BLUNTEDme]

this song is so different then any of there other songs i dont get it i think this is there best one with the most potential also

[DJMedinaz]

blunted is on shrooms because he gets it!

[xyz317]

You gotta respect Pinback's artistic integrity: instead of making a sexy, commercial video, they chose to have a creepy cartoon.

[Tvkid90]

saosin is so much better

[GenericMan]

Agreed.

[Eatsleepawesome]

They're completely different genres...You can hardly compare. Both are great and have their own completely different sound.

[WooshWhatProductions]

Awsome song and awesome video

[skipplet]

The video really compliments this song.

[socerisdagamex6]

ok i got their cd Autumn of the Serpaphs, but this song isnt on there.. what cd is this song on?

[tclark00]

summer in abaddon

[socerisdagamex6]

ohhh ok thanks :]

[photogurl333]

[cellrevolt]

greetings from holland

[bassman0013]

[sonar5656]

a simple video but its still an awseome video

[sonar5656]

A simple but awsome video i like at 0:07 u see the soilder to left of the king using the sword for a guitar

[billman2112]

Best band on planet earth.

[jadegodinez]

thanks man loe the fans :D

[NUKLEARmexico]

Pinback is art...............hi to all !!

[bloodbck]

that comment lower was for Xmenfan246

[balooga101]

Wonderful Video Beutiful concepts i could practically marry it im so in love

[leerock491]

has anyone ever tried to do the dancing part!! its bomb lol

[Xmenfan246]

Any more great indie bands like Pinback that you would reccomend??

[bloodbck]

Modest Mouse or Three Mile Pilot are great as well

[Xmenfan246]

I searched YouTube and I can't find those songs.

[accountsuck2]

and The Black Heart Procession! 3 mile, pinback, and blackheartt all share members too.

[accountsuck2]

The Black Heart Procession, another great band that shares members with Three Mile Pilot. Scarlet Symphony and Hot Like a Robot are awesome too. There all san diego bands but, hey, I'm from san diego.

[visamariie]

is this supposed to represent anything? like..i kno the flower is the piece that holds the world together and stuff..but it looked like an atom bomb at the end..and i kno that was ww2 but idk...maybe im thinking too deep. haha love this song/video!!!<333

[JigokuKitty]

This song reminds me of 'Cross Bones Style' by Cat Power.

[MeinenMusik]

the only question i have is...why does the flower picking make everything break apart?

[poopyh34d]

that wasnt a flower, it was the piece that held the world together.

[MeinenMusik]

hmm...awfully flower-shaped piece lol

so that leads to my next question, is the guy in the boat like, the sower of the earth or something? :)

[poopyh34d]

the guy in the boat is a virtual representation of jack black

[MeinenMusik]

lol thats good enough for me

[alexgtoada]

stop, it's too late

I'm feeling frustrated

I see no sign of fortress

I see no sign of fortress

woooooooo it's the best

[Korsko5]

Ok, somethings really bothering me here. I downloaded Autumn of the Seraphs, but there's one song I really like. It says Subbing for Eden, but that's not the right one because I looked it up. Can someone like give me a track listing please?

[GRIMTICK]

autumn is a two disk set the song you are looking for is on the bonus disk most likely there are two other goodones on it too the names are (I'm a pretty lady) (kylie) and (autumn of the seraphs) hope this helps in your search PINBACK RULES!!!!!

[eriggsa]

Fugazi is partly responsible for the creation of indie. only the singer was punk. MINOR THREAT!

[Nalopotato]

Also, Fugazi is PUNK not INDIE >.>

[Nalopotato]

Pinback is amazing.

Fin.

[Trogbob]

I got up at 2 am to find out what this song was. LOVE THIS SONG!

[SKUntilBreakODay]

Pinback is for the win.

[Imhotterthenyou11]

This song rocks. Its got the perfect beat for skiing powder =)

[mpbunch]

I work with abused children and used this song as "music therapy" and the kids loved it. The kids were pre-teen so they didn't think too much about the lyrics but the music made them happy and think...From a San Diego Counselor.

[Freedomfoe07]

Interesting, but strange. I like the animation but it could've been better. Though this is my most favorite song from their music!

[Riznatch]

I like him better playing samples for Creedle anyway....

[jjjfffkkkdddlllsss]

I guess closer to todays indie rock. My definition is more of Fugazi but this definetly great music

[keiser95]

this is indie rock right??

[StillbornSon]

where the hell did they get a bomb?

[GRIMTICK]

pinback is one of the sweetest bands ever this video is great !!

[merrychris14]

strange but cool.

[lesscoolthanyou]

I love this band so much...they make my life better for their music being a part of it. :) New album is great although still listening to this album more.

[navexof92]

This song isnt emo right? I thought it is Indie

[kapselkowa]

It's so beautiful... stop, it's too late, I'm feelin frustrated...

[visamariie]

UNICORN SPOTTING AT 0:38!!!

[igobyjillybean]

still lovin it <3

[Dagdal124]

Why did they break apart when he picked the flower for her? That flower would typically symbolize love, instead of fracturing into two enraged exes...

[britoca]

cause love hurts?

[Dagdal124]

Haha I hear that...my (now) ex-girlfriend and I went to this band's concert three days before we called it quits, if anyone cares. hooray for heartbreak!

[Dagdal124]

Haha I hear that...my (now) ex-girlfriend and I went to this band's concert three days before we called it quits, if anyone cares. hooray for heartbreak!

[QueensOfKyuss]

Nope, sorry no one cares.

[dwellufool]

nice, pinback is awesome, the ending is a bit strange they ended up nuking eachother, sad

[JRC808]

love marrage fights divorce end? lol just a thought

[linxcor]

because they were about to engage in some freaky-fied pre-marital sex. naw i dont know.

possibly their love wasnt meant to be/

[Gelotte00]

great song

[ripelivejam]

is this by the same guy who did the video for menomena's "evil bee"?

very similar style...

[charleskerr1]

i can drum that easily

[naatee]

wanna cookie?

[wtf01s4]

its like the easiest beat ever you big faggot

[liquidpersuasion]

i think most "indie" songs are easy to drum. hehe

[igobyjillybean]

so mad i couldn't go to their concert tuesday night!

[wyattsro]

watch?v=C9peF_EGlvg

[d33w]

love this song

[togetherless]

Not only their best song, but a classic of the genre.

[xxxstan7]

the guards are good dancers lol

[IndiePhish]

Oh god, they killed each other D:

They were lovely together...

[filmzRcool]

Beautiful song and video!

[phaching]

It's "silent fortress."

[rmunoz44]

"i see no sign of fortress", bro

[phaching]

"I see your silent fortress." It's about the silent treatment.
