The Myriad "You Waste Time Like A Grandfather Clock"

[jondurrant1000]

the writer of this band told me they are talking a little about a NEW ALBUM, no lie!!!!

[NeonCupcakez17]

I was in the crowd when they filmed this music video :)

[90FirstGenPGT]

bAD ASS!

[Raver9696]

i feel bad bout not findin this band earlier after i saw them years ago on tv

[anthony87396]

If Randy miller were alive right now they be an awesome band that sound everywhere but Rest In Peace Randy Miller you are one of my favorites drummers of all

[OffensiveDriving13]

This song popped into my head out of nowhere :) I wonder why they aren't well known.

[SilentHillNinja001]

@OffensiveDriving13 Same.



[13monster28]

Damn. I can't believe Randy Miller is dead.

Rest in peace Randy Miller

[gunggung1]

so amazing. I believe this song is about people be angry at God for being "late." Like a child angry because his parents died, ect. But it's all of God's plan. This song is deep and epic. Thanks, Myriad. You make awesome music.

PS, rest in peace Randy Miller.

[fearthebeard]

Prayers for Randy Miller's wife and kids.

Rest in peace Randy Miller.

God bless

[Thetigerlover1000]

@fearthebeard I know I feel so bad that he died because of bone cancer.

[nightmare123Tony321]

awsome video o.,o

[emperorswagg]

where were u

[finagurl904]

LOVEEEEEEEE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chadinterrupted]

i wish the song wasn't called every word in the chorus. it wouldn't be lame. the song is actually not bad. not a fan of this kind of music but i respect it.

[BlackandVVhite]

i cannot stress enough with this keyboard how much i LOVE this.

[greendaykicksbut1231]

I think the fact that they're a christian band makes them the coolest indie band out there.

[carolinaguytlocke]

i meant his singing voice...yes i know they weren the first to do that are you kidding me

tell me the meaning to you then

[KillBabiesGetMoney]

FUCK THIS im boycotting everything youtube tries to sell me

[APillToFreedom]

What happened to this band?

[greendaykicksbut1231]

@APillToFreedom I read on wikipediea that they are working on a new album for next year.

[crazydaisy3233]

@APillToFreedom The drummer has cancer so they took a break. I don't think they plan to come back.

[araith9]

@crazydaisy3233 only the drummer took a break the rest of the band is still going

[Thetigerlover1000]

@crazydaisy3233 nope they broke up the band! :(

[freak4jesuslife]

TVU is awesome for playing this group!!

[AGOGAZ]

Awesome sound!! 2 bad theyre not mainstream!!

[msbreon11477]

but, what dork is gonna count sand bags

[bboy588]

the meaning is that people are wasting ther time trying to get in line with god

[agordon1994]

@bboy588 dude sorry but i really dont think thats the meaning...

partly because the myriad is a christian band.....

[MIKEJONESCHAMP]

yeewss they should be well knowened cause there on rockband

[aliensneverdie]

i love this song :D

[carolinaguytlocke]

30 seconds to mars, the muse....a ripoff band...cliche lyrics that sound cool right?

but make no sense, how does a grandfather clock waste time its a clock it keeps time

moronic people who dont know who they are

if they are really doin this to bring people to god and not just cause its easy to get into christian music

[caseytaniel08]

@carolinaguytlocke lmao what are you talking about? songs dont have to make sense all the time. And im sure it has like a double meaning thing.

[AustinAbsinthe]

@carolinaguytlocke the song is abstract. the meaning isn't gunna be handed to you on a silver platter because then it would lose all of it's meaning. The song means something different to everyone.

As it being a rip off, you do know muse wasn't the first band to incorporate synth/noise effects into rock? Nor was 30 seconds to mars the first to be dramatic and angsty. Most bands are what you call "ripoff" bands because everyone takes influence.

[Th3pr0t0type]

@carolinaguytlocke I'm lost by your thinking.

[carolinaguytlocke]

[msbreon11477]

y does he count sand bags

what a goof

[msbreon11477]

radioU is what got me hooked on this awesome song

[bnorvell11]

They start getting ready for the big finaly at 3:11

[propertyofBigG4ever]

they were on tvu!!!^^

[TheSlamminHouse]

these guys are great!

[AustinAbsinthe]

I was in that crowd, and live 5 min away from the cascade theatre (the place where they filmed this music video in Redding, Ca) ^_^

that concert changed my life

[XxsamoilarxX]

@AustinAbsinthe Haha im from redding too. i know the singer

[AustinAbsinthe]

@XxsamoilarxX niceee. My old guitar teacher was friends with Jeremy.

I'd love to meet them.

[bnorvell11]

I know the drummer. I was on the sid of the stage the whole consert. That was the first consert I ever went to. Tons of fun.

[AltHealthGuru]

INSANE!

[SaRuZ462]

This song is so good and the video is insane. Stop, Go, Stop, Go, he's tweaking bad.

[upperworld06]

love the drummer and guitar! kinda freaky, but i love it

[RocketDomiLane]

I adore them. And this song.

<3

[gamerfreakwitha360]

LOVE RADIOU for playing and introducing me to this song!!!!

[Misty1245]

love this son on RADIOU its bout the only time my car radio goes to maxium

[Medli]

this is probably the coolest video i've seen in a long time. really makes me want to check out their stuff more. :D

[shoulderkolibri]

Trippy video. It's like diverting through space and time =p

[em0drumz]

I spent like 2 years looking for this video.

[Twigmaster11]

nail*

[skilledkid88]

awesome vid guys! hope to see you this year on your tour. i'm gonna try real hard to get to a city nearby so we can hang out. MISS YOU ALL!

[VivaLaSexPistols]

I saw these guys live last year in Redding, and this was their grand finale of the show. It was pretty epic.

[xXxHopelessSmokexXx]

suchh a well made song, truely a talented band. :]

[MurseNurse]

For one thing, Tool used it on a guitar not a bass, second who really cares this is an awesome song, thirdly Tool sucks.

[em0drumz]

I'm not a big fan of Tool, but from the song I've heard, they're good. They're experimental metal like MUSE and Coheed and Cambria

[WforWEED420]

WAY TO FUCKING STEAL THE BASS LINE TO SOBER BY TOOL YOU FUCKING PUSSY CAT ASS LICKERS!!! lollerpwnt.

[Jikel7Bob224]

Hey everybody, before you start downthumbing WforWEEK420, he's actually right. Look up the song it's actually (in my opinion) better than this and the bass line is practically identical, too. It might just be a coincidence, but i dont know...

[Zethion]

So I can't tell if you were trying to be an assface... or funny

But... I don't really give a damn.. because that was fucking funny "lollerpwnt" almost killed me and I don't know why.. thanks for that... rofl

[NaaAdjoa]

Muse and Radiohead's love child...although Radiohead is the biological father of Muse, which makes the relations even more strange, but obvious. Dang, Thom Yorke is a genius. This song is cool. It is extremely apparent what the influence is for the Myriad though.

[Jikel7Bob224]

Good song, kinda a weak chorus, but still good

[NaaAdjoa]

I agree, chorus kind've wanes, but the overall song bangs

[dgaf2003]

wanna be MUSE.haha jk...this band is pretty...good..they'll get known..watch...

[mikeydp416]

The parts that arent live, they filmed them actually playing the song in 3 different speeds to get the speed up and slow down effect to still be syncronized. It's pretty cool. Sadly, thier drummer was just diagnosed with cancer :( she some support for doing what they do and doing it well! :p

[mgutierrez7500]

wats the singer's name

[soldier7of7christ7]

They filmed this music video at a Myriad concert I went to! I was in the balcony.You can see it when they show the brief moments with the audience.

[PinkRoseAwesomemetal]

I kinda like the song,

dont get me wrong I love the Myriad.

And werd video....

[eh6wat6ever6]

sad...these guys r really good but not very well known :/

[Thetigerlover1000]

@eh6wat6ever6 ya true dat I would probably know because my uncle is in that band. He plays The guitar.

[Crasybutchek]

@eh6wat6ever6 The funny thing is, if these guys do get recognized, douchebags are gonna come out of nowhere and be like "I knew about these before they were popular. I'm sooooo awesome."

[DrewObsessed96]

my friend jack told me about this band and he said they were great well this is like their only good song so...

[rebeltrooperhalla16]

u serious? there are many other greater songs like A Thousand Winters Melting and The Accident and a few others.

[DrewObsessed96]

I don't like a lot of their music sorry it's not my fault I just don't like it

[SinOfANBU]

Yeah it's your fault. You can't blame anyone else.

But, it's just an opinion. So it doesn't really matter. Trivial things like taste in music are only so important. :)

[fallingup1986]

Great band, been listening to their latest album a lot over the past three weeks.

[Clone56]

Same, probably more then any other CD.  It makes me so relaxed. loving it

[TriniGoonerChic]

I Love this song!!!! This band has some really good music!

[mgutierrez7500]

pity they not that famous they just have so much talent

[bluejollyranchers14]

i love the myriad <3

they are a few of my heroes!

[swartsanager2]

the band kind of sounds like the band "Muse".One of Muses songs is Take a bow.

[shawnu036]

nub

[Gremlin882]

yay for crazy sales at stores going out of business with extremely limited cd collections that introduced me to this band xD

Myriad is the shit

[mabooshi14]

dude same for me i got the album for a buck at circuit city lol

[VeritasSeek]

How many guitarists do they have? Geez

[ajrapps]

guitarist/keyboardist + guitarist + lead singer/guitarist.

haha yeah like freakin relient K or something

[tampabaydevilrays]

so much better than relient k tho. sorry.

[ajrapps]

hell yeah the myriad are the shit!

[moppishmop]

He has pretty eyes.....

[CommanderKillJoy]

I AGREE! Lmao. I was waiting for someone to say that.

[indyshaped]

LOVE IT

[MandNVideo]

i got to meet them and talk to every band member while they were the opening act to a switchfoot concert i got switchfoots & the myriads autograph amazing

[ajrapps]

i saw switchfoot with ruth and relient-k, but would've traded both those bands to see a switchfoot/myriad concert. damn

[SceneKid89]

I was totally at that concert....it was filmed in my hometown!

[hellogoodbyekisskiss]

The singer totally goes to my church and is in my life group. So amazing.

[bobeshwa]

excuse me, i mean guitar not bass

[bobeshwa]

is that bobby lee playing bass?

[ChronoGXay]

Dude! These are biblical references!! :D

"Where were you when we sang, and our song shook the ground?"

(Two of the apostles started singing songs when they were in jail, and an earthquake shook the ground, and they were freed)

"Where were you a week ago, when the red sun wasn't sinking?"

(I think this had to do with an important battle, that lasted so long that God made the sun stay up much longer than it normally would. I just can't remember which battle...)

[ChronoGXay]

But yes, I think it's someone asking another person "Where were you" when all of these important things were happening? "You waste" so much of your time...

I don't get the part about Sandbags though... :\

[piggienose]

i think its like a reference to the little sand timer things. the person is wasting so much time that using the sand timer is pointless so he just goes straight to counting sandbags.

[ayindril]

The fortune cookie syndrome. If you are looking for something you are going to find it.

[hellogoodbyekisskiss]

No, this band is a Christian band. The lead singer goes to my church and it my pastor's brother.

[IPONEDI]

I WAS TOTALLY AT THAT CONCERT!!!! IT WAS AWESOME ! They said if you looked at the camera they wouldn't feature you in the video!

[thebestdrummerfla]

great band!

[Kaimicah77]

Cool band...

[dunasworld]

im a new fan of thig band and this is the song that got me hooked on them they are hard as fuck

[oxkr9302]

they like joy division the frontman moves in the same way

[Frostbite941]

This Is Great!

[oxkr9302]

VAMpire WEKeend

[bobeshwa]

dear god, i hope you're refering to the music video for a-punk and not lowering a decent band like vampire weekend down to these guy's level.....

[oxkr9302]

yeah the video

[bobeshwa]

haha actually this band isnt bad.. but need to do something more original.. music-wise, not video-wise

[zombieflayer666]

douche.

[oxkr9302]

JOY DIVISION

[ryl417]

Not bad at all!

[gothicmoon4]

great song.

[shoenjumpman]

if anyone needs help on the meaning in the song, beffychild probly has the "right" meaning, but dont get mad at other people just because they think the meaning is different.

songs can have more than one meaning

[VidaKiwiLime007]

the lead singer has got such pretty eyes!

[ddi92011]

i luuvv thiss sawngg

[Jaredhalterman]

I just saw these guys live like 5 hours ago, pretty good. The lead singer was born in my town, and my guitar teacher taught him how to play guitar. They shot this music video in the same place where I saw them at.

[cocoadeath134]

dude im from redding too whats the guitar teachers name>>

[BaconPirate829]

the guitar teachers name is Aaron Lucero. He is my teacher too.

[HumanSculpture]

that's epic

awesome!

:D

[brooklyndae28]

I like how people can tell me I'm wrong about the meaning of the song, and yet can't really say they know what it means. They just answer....You're wrong. LMAO. And how do you know? And please tell meit's because you've spoken to the lead singer and he told you so. Otherwise...shut the hell up.

[titifrvd]

this song is the best song in rock histroy what else can i say

[redhavok89]

thats kinda pushing it, its a grest song, but not the best in history

[projectneil]

I agree with redhavok, great song, but not the greatest.

[LovelyHearte]

Great video, and the effects were awsome. The song is awesome as well. :D

[llecelkcis]

freakin awesome

[allycatacs789]

X3 i have this song on demand!!! lolz, ! I LOVE THIS FUCKING VIDEO!!

[bloodyknives07]

lol 2:10 and a lil more the guitarist with thet vest looks funny. good effects btw

[marymglyn]

jesse rosten ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brooklyndae28]

I think this song is about Hurrican Katrina and Bush. I could be wrong, but the song is awesome.

[naimcint]

lol yep think you might be wrong :)

[projectneil]

I agree, you are wrong.

[xxgg55]

Haha, you're a moron

[beefychild]

hahahahhahahaha. okay, it's not. i just talked to them.

it's about how many people don't make the wisest decisions....

:)

good try thooo

[brooklyndae28]

Well thank you for giving me a REAL answer instead of responding like the previous idiots.

[beefychild]

haha. i'm not a bitch.

:)

but, i'm not even gonna lie, your answer made me laugh

[chick3nyo]

i <3 this band

[Uberdefiler]

Great band,this soong is just repeats itself a little too much.

[MandyMasscare]

I love them!

Im glad i saw them live!

= DD

[xemonessxrocksx]

awesome vid

awesome song

awesomeeeeeeeeeee drum line

but whats up with the lyrics?

[LuertoRobongo]

good song, but what the heck does it mean?

[xXxHybridxVampireXxX]

i think it means when he really needed her, she was nowhere to be found and when she did come, it was too late.

im not sure, but thats what i got from it. xD

[cloud041089]

nevermind.. it says at the start of the video, lol

[Tyza237]

this is a great song from an awesome band, both of there music vids are awesome, this is a great follow up from clean shot

[zachariah90]

i love the drums in this!!!!!

[MopTopBoy]

i saw this song on MTV and it said Undefined by Undefined

[musefanUSA]

they did that with an albert hammond jr. music video too!!

[MopTopBoy]

that dude is cool

[musefanUSA]

ya.

he's amazing with the strokes and when he's doing solo work.

[shadowls1]

great song really great but if you listen to the song carefully u will hear this annoying clicking sounds..... in the background

[bleedingoutlife]

r u talking about the drums.....

[SamuiHakai]

He's probably just hearing the ghost notes and thinking its not there intentionally *i know pretty much nothing about music technically so youll have to forgive me if the term ghost notes is not used when talking about notes that are muted*

[saxybeast93]

its so weird...its like slow fast motion..they are awesome

[mynameishank]

yeah i know its kinda wierd

[xxgingyxx]

wow! I was thinking Muse too! haha. But they are both AMAZING!

[Iamurvillian]

their awsome

like muse from risen from the dead

[PrinceZukoFanGirl]

I was also thinking that they had a little Muse in them. I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking it.

[Ayumi101]

YOU WASTE TIME LIKE A GRANDFATHER CLOCK! That's just a pimp song. his voice is AMAZINGGGG!

[NicX1]

i like how they ripped from tool. fuck this group

[MadButter]

FUCK YEAH SEAKING

[Jesseistehsex]

I like this song, I just discovered these guys this morning! I already like them!

[Westman122343]

good song but i found the video kind of weird and a little funny but nonetheless they are a great band

[AtreyuFTW864]

the question is where were you?

[n3rfherd3r]

love it

[AnArtistOfSorts]

The Myriad are an awesome band. With Arrows, With Poise is the best album I've heard in a long time.

[jetluvr32]

dude i saw them perform lve opening for eisley!!!! it was awesome!!!

[urxsweetestxdreamx]

wow.

they're like musical robots.

i love it.

[thomasRulescookies]

god they are good

they rule

the myriad all the way

:D

[DJTonyP]

I just typed all the lyrics with only one run through! I guess I type fast.

if I sent them to you would you put them in the description?

cause I could not find them anywhere on the internet and they are too big for a comment.

[stickpplrbeast]

i LOVE how this is filmed :)

[themelkman]

probably one of the worst live bands ive run into in the past few years. the record is pretty decent but the show was just a lot of noise and they all looked like tools
