The Only Moment We Were Alone - Explosions In The Sky

[davidsk8ing]

Words cannot express how this song makes me feel. I have to keep coming back to listen.

[ThePostRockProject]

going to see them in london in january!!! i quite literally am unable to wait.

[SomethingVague07]

Wish I there.

[djkells3]

Their music really is like explosions in the sky. They remind me of fireworks, but really ambiguous with no lyrics so it's like you can put your own story in the blank.

[ITSjustAuserNAME100]

@djkells3 That's how they thought of their name! Watching fireworks

[JackgoGym]

Overrated

[LostInNumbersMusic]

@JackgoGym Go back to the gym, you're overrated.

[Soutael]

@JackgoGym "Hunts down a video just to trash talk on it"

[Prooy1]

@JackgoGym Gay.

[Gestaposaurus]

@JackgoGym fuck you, seriously

[lovin2beme1]

Love, Love, Love....this song

[iiEmerald]

If I dont die after seeing them in 20 days life will be anti-climactic.

[lovethemtodie]

I wish Explosions in the Sky could narrate my life

[meechc]

jesus christ, this is incredible. seeing these at green man festival next month! I think I might cry when they play.

[SelfRevolution37]

that is THE post rock song

[smitg10]

no words. just the way i like it.

[LifeinLettersGallery]

I am at a loss for words...

[mexiarab]

They sound so amazing live! Their coming to my town in September! im so stoked!

[pizzaexpresss]

I LOVE THEM

[halowie]

Oh finally they are coming to Belgium!

[blunder15]

this is so kool it blows my mind

[tubakorgphone]

@PSPgamer27 wtf? Really? U must be lazy then, shit load of under ground music in California, u just gotta look in the right places, for example in Riverside (where I live) theres a bunch of great ska, punk, alternative bands and btw Riverside is blowing up with good music, I wouldn't be surprised to sine big bands in the future from Riverside

[Fuzzylunpkins]

See you in oakland

[ordinarydayindayout]

Some humans have the capacity to dislike this? Wow.

[PSPgamer27]

Just another reason it sucks to live in California where we don't have good music like this and the people suck!! YAY!!!.... Please don't move to California.....

[chinomoreno89]

2 dislikes? they must explote

the best group ever

[holypaper]

@ 8:50 he's transcending. I was a this show up front and yeah, I had a near transcendental experience.

[09Peitzman]

There is a reason why ZERO people have given this a thumbs down.

[TWOhits6]

@09Peitzman im thumbing down right now... i can only take about 2 minutes of this shit..and im thumbing YOU down to.. have a nice day

[OskIsNotAsian]

i wish they would came Australia

[spiritofjosh]

love that ibanez talman

[StygerWoods]

It's rare to see a video with 0 dislikes... EITS should never receive one

[hatrer]

Their music is magic.

[BlackParis86]

Without a bass guitar won't things sound a bit... I don't know, trebly? Too much high end? Sounds cool here though.

[IanLanghow]

@BlackParis86 he uses a baritone guitar as well as a bass in some songs

[cell37]

so much emotion everywhere... from munaf head banging, michael looking like hes going to burst into tears or mark just feeling the rythm (didnt mean to leave chris out just cant see him :P) this makes me so mad i missed out on one of their performances. whenever they are close again ill do what i need to to see them

[saucyjenkins]

Every time I listen to this I can't get over how perfect the title is.

[LiftYourSkinnyFist]

rofl@"YES! YES!!!"

[BrunoSwavaholi]

i love eits, but has anyone else noticed how all their songs kinda sound similar? not that it's a bad thing, they just definitely have a sound that they stick to.

[LiftYourSkinnyFist]

@BrunoSwavaholi Eh, I like to think albums are more about telling a story so all the songs flow together and sound similar rather than something composed of single random songs thrown together to make an "album". Personally I don't find all of their work to be that similar outside of each individual album, but they all have that EITS feeling to it.

[JackJumblies]

EXCELLENT camera work. Under live conditions to boot. Worthy of a music video. Fucking killer song as well, of course. :)

[pathtoexile1]

simply. perfection.

[dbyrness]

Omg.

As if you saw them in concert.

I've never been so envious!

[MrBenGarcia]

For some reason I feel that screaming vocals go good with this. It's prolly the intensity of the song. Soo good!

[kenny1324]

@MrBenGarcia Then check out City of Caterpillar, Envy, Portraits of Past, etc. A lot of screamo, well, "real" screamo, has those post rock elements. PRetty amazing and moving stuff

[utune12345]

I just jizzed..... thats was incredible

[juices1234]

I live in Fort Worth!!!!!!!

[regretandramen]

This is either very cool, or very unfortunate, depending on your perspective of Cowtown.

[sk8tafrnk]

@regretandramen haha

[Bl4ckice117]

A W  E S O M E !!!!!!!

[ashlymikhow]

AHAHA 0:20 YES YESSSS

that guy is as stoked as i would be if i ever saw EITS ! <3

[juices1234]

@ashlymikhow heh Thought it was a sneeze.

[mraliend2ify]

very very good excellent vd beautiful ....

[SammySlik]

DUDE! Thats awesome it doesnt even sound like hardcore rock or anything but they look like a hardcore band at the end :P

So you can rock out like that while it still sounds good!!

[pakismyname]

@SammySlik they're metalheads dude, except for the one guitarist hahaha.

[ChristBurner]

yes you can sammy slick..yes you can

[stefangio]

Only band besides Mono that can give you that strange emotion when listening

[TaranosLeGaulois]

E

P

I

C

[goldensox]

This music is pretty much one of the best musics ever made by any band. This video would be extra awesome if the suond quality wasn't shitty beyond belief.

[ChristBurner]

shitty beyond belief???? get the fvck outta here studio fvck....the guy who filmed this had a CAMCORDER not a damn studio with 200 chan mixboard isolation booths and mastering workstations

[goldensox]

Calm down man.

[JackJumblies]

@ChristBurner That deserves top comment.

[MrOctobery]

0:20 秒的Yes....你出名啦XDD

[bokiebok123]

holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ending rocks

[n8bog2]

video quality does not matter it is what you can hear that makes the difference!

[outPut33]

0:20 - yes.....YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

Describes the feeling you get when listening to the song..

Purely orgasmic.

= )

[inflames2233]

So true. I LOVE THE GUY AT 0:20 XD

ahahahahahaha!

This is one of my favorite EITS songs.

[mrbeleth]

i saw them last night in ATL with The Flaming Lips - these guys put on an awesome live show!

[doyleisbrian]

I wanted to go see them in ATL but I already bought Metallica tickets for October so I couldn't pay for both. I will have to wait until next time...

[Buddyismyking]

I can back this guys story. They played amazingly. That concert was the reason i started listening to them.

[bsbllowns26]

Beautiful :)

[solofactor]

Incredibly talented, sometimes songs can say more without words.

[smitty010493]

the whole point of post rock is to do just that

[crippeto]

@solofactor

Well, not technically. While not being completely understood, it is thought that a song without words isn't actually saying anything at all.

[Iberianwildwolf]

mine as well, very intense.

[googlenator2001]

this is my personal favorite from them

[pimpsauce57]

If only life could be this epic.

[regretandramen]

Everything's more epic in Texas.

...Or wait, was it everything's bigger?

[bdempster44]

life IS this epic!

at least mine is.

and yes. everything is more epic in texas.

i think you heard wrong about bigger. Mountains suck here and aint no redwoods.

But life is more epic.

[antiemo666777]

@regretandramen

everything is actually bigger in alaska, except for buildings and population,but life is so much more epic in alaska because of the mountains..........

[jaishalattacks]

and on the seventh day, god made explosions in the sky.

[creationskatefl]

=] ^_^

[crosstolerance]

Damn...I would love to see them live. There melodies intertwine so beautifully. Master of there instruments.

[ctothahris]

yeah i have yet to see them live but i've heard its just continuous playing from song to song. so awesome. i need to see them live.

[regretandramen]

That's how it works. They use lots of ambience to blend to the next songs. But if you have a keen ear, you can quickly pick out which one is coming next.

Their performance of "Memorial" is unprecedented.

[tambaz1]

this song just makes me feel like jesus

[iliedaboutmyage]

headbangin'.

[holypaper]

Thanks so much for preserving this moment for me. I was there...and it was one of the best performances I've ever seen....and I've seen quite a bit. This means a lot. Good work.

[drmcclin]

This is their best song... Great video, thanks for taping.

[Squatolo]

come fanno a essere così bravi? insomma potrebbero fare qualcosa di brutto ogni tanto...

[camcoh]

I cant believe how insanely good this is. Though, I hate the people cheering at the small break at about 7:15

[georgearakawa]

hahah yeah, i think they just dont know the song and dont realize the best part has yet to come. i totally agree. when i see them in july in chicago i hope no one does that.

[Finkster5]

Do you guys hear that dude at 0:20? Haha, "Yes, YESS!" Sounds like he's having an orgasm...although I can't blame him.

[thefreshmaker760]

dude i have multiple orgasms whenever i listen to this song

[nelson3300]

@Finkster5

reminds me of someone calling out to jesus in a lively church ceremony lol

OH LAWD HAVE MERCY!

[Lnobilis]

@Finkster5 Eargasm! 

[arkmalfius]

I like it when the song gets all chaotic, but keeps the intensity of the softer parts. Thats what makes many post rock songs stand out.

And if you think that "blasts" your ears..lol, dude I also listen to screamo,metal,detal metal, and various other harder genres..those blast your ears.

Anyway,calm down and just listen to the song.

[mkinsella7]

such a phenomenal video. i liked how you panned up to the lights during the slow part. the emotion they play with for 8:08-9:28 is unreal. well done!

[rayanneflowers]

love this song.... i think this one will stay with me forever.....

you know there a lot of great post rock bands out there but EITS have the most heart and the most beautiful melodies.....love...love their music

[Kudell46and2]

just (L)...

really beautiful song,it hits me hard.

El único momento en que estuvimos solos.

[brittred]

This song is beautiful. 5/5.

[underscoredashperiod]

7:55 is pure bliss

[zissuntetnah]

if anyone is interested in, i've just added a great video of the only moment we were alone ;)

[zeldaoftime]

great video, suck sound

[ReadFig]

Ritual band...

[hockeytom66]

The climax of this song still gives me goosebumps. It's amazing they can cram so much feeling and emotion into one song. Excellent work.

[cynthiaramlan]

they my inspiration...!!!!

[Pawl2]

overrated band...mogwais better! good video thou hey have a lot of energy on stage, i just think their sound is rather forgetable.

[ArtCrag]

haha, sorry i must really be missing something with mogwai. ive heard all of their albums and the only track that compares to the best explosions tracks is "ithica 27 0 9". feel free to suggest any im missing.

[willy92ie]

check out mogwai fear satan by mogwai. pretty damn epic

[ughh11]

mogwai is sickkkk!!

[camcoh]

its nothing compared to eits

[estupidense]

i loves this song

[tiddelyjazz]

i saw this the day after my birthday in January and it made me weep and weep. one of the best moments of my life

[gorgeousnowheisdead]

increible...me inspiran muchisimo a la hora de hacer bmx...<3

[RLMpoo9489]

ahh i loved this!

[keastervbn]

these guys are amazing! they are machines lol! but i bet there hands get tired. i don't actually know but i bet that the drummer was in DCI,

[aletioperez]

when i seen them at live here in mexico was amazing...

[punkband93]

they just let it go at the end. it was intense

[YehMan06]

Best band in the world

breathtaking performance

[shino1232]

i was in the very front a lil to the right of munaf

[Tr3wqyou]

great

[Mukkumukku]

brilliant and monumental

[sugarsmcnutts]

yeah that is the absolute ONLY thing that bothers me about their shows is the dumb audience, unless it's one of their concerts, where they are the main band.

and to hopefully clear some confusion, yes there is bass in explosions, but not in this song. Michael (middle) is the only one that plays bass, he just doesn't on this song. in the beginning, Munaf (far right) hits one of his pickups on his guitar for the sound. he does it in a couple of songs.

when decribing them, words fail me.

[iwilldoitforadollar]

Everyone always claps at the pause and it kind of pisses me off

[jacklan75]

i agree...its like the fans dont even understand them...the audience did it twice...its annoying especially for me (Classical guitar...i take pauses sometimes and everyone claps I'm not even close to finishing it!)

[hellchaser109]

i also agree. and from their heads the fans i mean. they dont even bob their heads slightly if they cant get into this amazing song they aren't fans they suck

[Oscaracer]

people always start screaming or claping in the part where the songs seems to finsihs right before the chaos of the en

[bertibop]

there is no bass in explosions in the sky!

[kcscene0]

yes, there is.

[guglio1290]

A sogn for our fathers; one of the best basslines ever.

[timmyduboy]

he switches between them.

you can't hear greet death and say there is no bass

[assgroos]

its not even that they are good at guitar.

they know how to write music that doesn't take words to touch a persons heart.

[blackfireINSANITY]

not too shabby at guitar though. it takes skills to write something like that off the top of your head. they don't even write the stuff down until they're ready to record. in the studio they improvise, but on stage they play their songs exactly as written.

[timmyduboy]

they're amazing, musically.

You're right, assgroos is just saying that they don't need to play amazingly difficult riffs, just amazing riffs. =]

[seatucker]

i m crying :*(

[Gorrilo]

those ppl are soo good at guitar not even funny

[timmybro10]

Best song by them no doubt. Although all of their songs are completely ridiculous

[01134hello]

check out their performance in KL...its really damn good

[01134hello]

ultra 10 minutes of damn goodness

[zipmcoccup]

No one is playing Bass right?

[01134hello]

doesnt michael james play the bass?

[zipmcoccup]

I think he switches from song to song between a Bass and a Guitar, and I don't really hear a bass in this... unless its that middle dude.

[01134hello]

hmmm...i think there is...the beginning part has...

[rootbeer10122]

hes there. sitting down on the right. kinda hard to see.

[ilvazns]

That's nice!

[doodextreme]

I was there too dude!! Great job on capturing this. I wish you caught Munaf saying... "sorry, thats it."

I met him though.. and shook his hand, so it was alright.

[TheDeadTexan]

I was there, too. I was right at the front and center. I was waiting all day at the main stage, then my buddy told me they were gonna get switched cause of Midlake so I hauled it to the other one and camped out my spot again. I feel really bad for anyone who went to see them cause of the horrible set time. It was my eighth time seeing them so I can't really complain. Great video.

[regretandramen]

Thanks. Hahah, I completely ignored Midlake just to be up front. It's definitely worth seeing their full performances - you won't be disappointed.

[sturrockr]

i was there man, near the front on the right. WOW, that was my first time watching them live and they are now my favorite band. the climax of the only moment we were alone.. UNDESCRIBABLE!!!!!! sucks they only got to play 3 songs, i am definately going to see them this coming november. thanks for posting the great video!
