Sometimes...at those moments when you need to look at yourself. Not through someones eyes to judge you or to see if you are making the right choices. No. Through your own eyes, and to see yourself. That is what this song does to me, it makes me see me. And you know what? I fucking love me, I do. I'm glad I am me. Don't hate yourself, your beautiful, absolutely brilliant! Us Humans, you know. We are always here, through times of hardship and greatness. Were here, being us...being brilliant.
Wow so many haipsters "i hope it doesnt get popular, cause I hate anything mainstream" get a life as long as the musical quality is good I dont give a fuck if its mainstream or underground. That is all.
Going through a lot right now, not sure if I'm making the right choices... I like listening to this and reflecting on things, thinking about what could have been... Love this band, they never let me down. Just heard this song for the first time today and it was at the perfect time.
@kila730 you know it's funny nowaday's it's "cool" to think bands are lame for getting big but as long as a band maintains their quality of music I think it's really cool when a good band get's insanely popular.
@sniperkneupper Agreed. Mainstream music doesn't mean the music is bad. Bands as Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Pink Floyd etc. were a huge succes in their time while they kept releasing high quality albums.
If it was for All that Remains I wouldn't of heard of this band. I just started listening to there music. I love it. It's not something I can just listen to by itself imo. I need to be skateboarding, working on homework, or just playing a game. Anyways good band.
The thing is most music with vocals can't be understood anyways. Even if you can inerpret the lyrics, it doesn't mean you can interpret the meaning. More often than not people make their own meaning, which just goes to show that vocals are just another instrument and it is not neccessary to make good music.
@IWubYooz Sorry, sir, but I must correct you. This is the exact beauty of the lyrical engine. Any one person can take a song, interpret the lyrics, and gather something enirely different from the next person who listens to it. People can learn things about themselves, about society, relationships, etcetera. If lyrics only mean one thing to everyone who listens to it, then they're shitty lyrics. If two people can listen to a song and interpret it in two completely different ways, it is beautiful.
@IWubYooz I wouldn't say vocals "necessary" to make good music, either, but our voices are the most beautiful instrument at our disposal. One just needs to know how to use it.
I can't get enough of this song... so beautiful, so deep. When I show this band to people, they always complain about the lack of vocals. I think this song would be absolutely terrible with vocals. It just wouldn't make you think like it does.
@thepissflap I let my sister listen to this song...she said it was boring and she can't listen to a song without vocals...she really doesn't have an imagination. It's true what you said, 100% percent.
@samurij21 As far as I'm concerned, I let a friend a listen to "When The Mountain Comes To Muhammad" before she felt asleep, and she told me how calm and peaceful it was. But, indeed. I always think instrumental songs are more "expressing" for your soul than vocal ones.
@blueamerican54 If I could find a way to do it perfectly, I'd remove the vocals on half the bands I listen to. Don't get me wrong, I love mostly all of them, but the instrumental work going on is most of the time, far better.
@Mordeci819 I'm sure I'd do the same. I'd probably keep both versions, though. ;)
However, there are a couple bands I would never remove the vocals from, because, while the instuental work is quite beauiful, the vocals add infinitely more substance to the music. Sigur Ros, for example. If you took Jonsi out of Sigur Ros, it would never be the same. Or Pianos Become The Teeth.
