Between the Buried and Me - Alaska

[dietcokeextra]

I never recognized how incredible the lyrics to this song were. Fuck, Btbam is so fucking talented.

[OhNeuromancer]

i listened to this song while i had sex with my black girlfriend, she is now asian.

[XxMalpassxX]

240p wtf is this noise....

good song, but just fucking UPLOAD IN BETTER QUALITY GODAMAMAHN

[saubea]

No!

[DeathUponMisanthropy]

I set my friends on fire = Noise

BTBAM = organized and technical (may be noise, to poor ears)

so get that ismfof song off the suggestion box now.

[FiestyMclovin]

1:02 My god, that transition is fucking flawless o_o

[NexusHUBSH]

I can't hear the word "Alaska" without bursting into song anymore. I hope BTBAM's proud of themselves.

[squishyfaceguy]

wow this band fucking sucks.

[TheOpensourceFTW]

@squishyfaceguy Iknow mate...

[Sonofanoob]

Title and lyrics kinda reminds me off the movie "Insomnia".

[xCasperSuicidex]

I could listen to the intro all day. The rest of the song not so much.

[ClassicRockMan31294]

This is my favorite Between the Buried and Me song.

[izzatnadzmi]

The intro is my caller ringtone now :)

[mikenumber22]

@izzatnadzmi

I seriously can't thank you enough for that idea. Tis my ringtone now as well!

[ContrxL]

[ContrxL]

YES, CREEPY!!!!

[TheNigness]

10 ppl liked it so much they had to turn they're moniters upside down to give it another thumbs up

[colbydakidd14]

Words cannot describe how fucking insanely sick this intro is...

[downfallin]

[zaingasm]

@DrumDrumDrumDrumBoy Fuck you! That can not be unheard!

[DrumDrumDrumDrumBoy]

@zaingasm That means, it's that good... or bad, in your case.

[XxxxxJamesxxxX]

@DrumDrumDrumDrumBoy I'm never going to be able to un-hear that

[DrumDrumDrumDrumBoy]

@XxxxxJamesxxxX Sorry, man. That's exactly what I said to myself. I feel your pain.

[Sidepiece2]

[DrumDrumDrumDrumBoy]

@Sidepiece2 Agreed.

[SicFuryUndead]

[bleedwell4u]

[yMuimuiy]

w311 I 7hink i7'5 r3411y 3pic ;3

best fuckin intro of all time award

[ArthurSkaterBooty]

1:05  1:35 <3

[AllyGazdacko]

[SuperJonathon1997]

one of their best songs imo

[jbtbamjjj]

[miserableoutcast]

[bodombert90]

@miserableoutcast fuck you i came like 35461321684 times bro!

[MrTomservo85]

@miserableoutcast Sorry. I came right at the opening sweep.

[SPLINTERDBONES]

i just came!



[HiPPoKryPtiC]

2:05 WHEN IS THE FUCKING SUN COMING UP!!!!!!!! i love this band so damn much it amazes me

[bbeboutuaa]

Anybody know the story behind the song and album name? I'm from Alaska =-)

[illegitnumber2]

@bbeboutuaa The song is pretty picturing a "what if" situation with what if an insomniac was stranded in Alaska during it's month long period of no daylight (Which is an insommniac's worst nightmare). I don't know how anyone could think up lyrics like this. Only BTBAM

[illegitnumber2]

@illegitnumber2 *Pretty much*

[bbeboutuaa]

@illegitnumber2 thanks for the info, just found out their coming here in October. A band called Ready Aim Timber is opening. They have very similar sounds.

[rawNASkills]

@illegitnumber2 hahaha..insomniac's nightmare...how ironic

[mauralove93]

THE INTRO IS FUCKING AMAZING.

[GuitarKM]

3:05 through the rest of the song is the best part of the song in my opinion.

Awesome finish.

[TheNomNomz]

this song is awesome!!!

[Brutalators]

@bnash2002 i dont think so but they are so dvierse in their music that a lot of people just like parts of their songs

[bnash2002]

intro is great. the rest of the song is a disgrace

[PoopOnMyLip]

@bnash2002 go away. we dont like your kind here.

[MartinYoung96]

@bnash2002 Then listen to the intro, quit the video and don't complain.

[stuff3]

why cant the rest of the song be as good as the intro

[mawacaca1]

@stuff3 cause this isnt a metalcore band. the intro sounded metalcore-ish to me. Love this song.

[rockntroopen]

they are coming to israel and i hope to be there!

[Leads2Nothing]

GRAVY.....GRAVY.....YES, GRAVY....

[MetallicOpeth]

Did I seriously just sit through a fucking ad for Mormons? holy fuck

[Rhysinator19]

BTBAM = Not like protest

[Finpenora]

if this many people really came.. wed be up to our necks in jizz

[421chris]

@Finpenora wait your not........... shit, i gotta lay off the internet porn and get out of this basement

[heyysailorr]

the lyrics are fucking great.

[jcassady]

BTBAM just cummed on all you bitches

[wanttoseeaghost]

By just reading the lyrics you can tell they weren't very inspired when they wrote them. Outstanding song though, the only problem is that the lyrics are just about two bored people who spent all the night up writing down all the incoherent thoughts that came to their mind.

[jedsdead13]

@wanttoseeaghost you have to listen to the whole album. anyway what else are you gonna do in alaska?

[xAnastasia1990x]

@wanttoseeaghost The song is about having writer's block.

[wanttoseeaghost]

@xAnastasia1990x I didn't know. Now that you say it, it makes sense. I feel kind of embarraced, I should've made some research before posting that comment :P

[xAnastasia1990x]

@wanttoseeaghost Haha it's nbd. I asked Tommy when I met him a couple years ago, that's how I knew. Though I believe he's mentioned it in a few interviews I'm not sure though. Glad I could help. :)

[Supermassivebangbang]

oh my god people need to control their genitals better.

[MatthewKnows24]

riffs, drums, bass... sweet. vox, great. lyrics... garbage.

[nanthil]

assimilated mind phase, contortionist, periphery, animals as leaders, anomalous, and btbam to top them all. Wewt!

[ibanezXph]

0:01 they're called BETWEEN the buried and me

[uwishuwerme14]

@ibanezXph It's spelled right if that's what you're getting at....

[TheReverend777]

@ibanezXph that's what it says dumbass

[StringMaster94]

this video has much better sound quality than the offical video

[erenxbjk]

just cummed on my screen.

[aboitoo]

am i the only one that hears "freedom" in the backround at 1:30 ?

[joshwithguitarinhand]

@aboitoo nnnope:]

[duhmeir]

Are the lyrics supposed to mean something. It looks like random stuff he wrote while on the road, possibly suffering from intense boredom >.>. "Not the best time for lyrics I supposed."

[fing3rz333]

@duhmeir Actually he wrote these lyrics while he was tripping on acid.

[Wheelah23]

@fing3rz333 Wrong. He wrote it while driving home in the middle of the night. No acid involved. It's about an insomniac or something. The sun is only up an hour per day sometimes in Alaska, hence the title. At least, that's what I think.

[teholdgreg]

@Wheelah23 and it's about writers block and all the crazy shit that happens :P

[teholdgreg]

@fing3rz333 yeah do some research Tommy Rogers is a nerd, and we love him for it.

[EpsilonX]

@duhmeir yea, i hate their lyrical style

[OnlineFoe]

WOW i can't hear the lyrics :D

[RedTearz92]

The thing I dont like is that many people only like BTBAM because of their solos or for example, the intro of this song seems to be the only thing people pay attention to. The song itself is awesome, there is no such thing as the intro being the only good part of the song.

[8COMBATICUS8]

227

[zacksolo62]

one of my favorite btbam intros.

[aham1994]

This is great but I am getting tired of everyone saying they just cummed.

[SmokeThatHerb9]

[Pandiemonium]

[HardSoCalstyle]

[AucklandGreenChick]

[ChadMinorProductions]

@aham1994 *came

[SentientCenobite6]

@aham1994 I'm sorry sir. I didn't catch that. I was too busy cumming everywhere.

[guitarhero2152]

@aham1994 Sorry, I only read your comment after wiping the cum off my screen

[Ninjistic]

@guitarhero2152 faggot, you only came because you were watching gay porn

[guitarhero2152]

@Ninjistic Is there a rule against a man watching a little gay porn while listening to BTBAM? I think not.

[TheShitization]

@guitarhero2152 shut man just ffuck shut up your fucked.

[globalchaos1984]

@aham1994 I find your comment very easy to masturbate to.

[SuperJonathon1997]

@aham1994 And i jizzed in my pants

[boardking123]

@aham1994 that's what she said.

[Mgirl32]

Awesome

[SuicideSilenceLIFTED]

5 people never went to Alaska

[ItIshMehXD]

@SuicideSilenceLIFTED

wtf i've never been to alaska and I like this video.

[Kurtplox]

haha, one of the related videos is of the band I Set My Friends On Fire. WHAT A JOKE!!! LOL!!

[csaw12]

@Kurtplox hey i like ismfof a little their songs are catchy

[RabidGerbilBoy]

Some people make their babies listen to Mozart...I make my baby listen to BTBAM

[sauron610]

@RabidGerbilBoy I hope you actually do, it would create a genius of unfathomable intellect..

[ScatmanJoeButt]

We will throw puppies everywhere!! 2:03

[diePolizei]

@ScatmanJoeButt oh god damn you, now i cant unhear this.

[ScatmanJoeButt]

@diePolizei HA!!!! FEAR THE POWER OF THE MANIPULATION OF THOUGHT!!!

[CarnalSuffering]

@ScatmanJoeButt HAHAHA XD

[sidor369]

this remends me alot of children of bodom

[SpongyDoom]

@sidor369 Dude, that's fucking blasphemy

[elmetalico99]

WHY IS THIS SONG NAMED ALASKA??DON'T GET IT??

[brb801]

@elmetalico99 the lyrics deal with a guy who lives in Alaska and is going insane during the period of 40 day darkness that happens there.

[Billd0]

@elmetalico99 its actually about insomnia..and how the brain works differently at night and how much dick it would suck to have insomnia with 30 days of night in alaska..not 40.

[pks2723]

@elmetalico99 Because once every year, Alaska experiences almost a month of pure darkness, and this song is telling how the brain and body feel during those 30 nights of darkness. It is much easier to see when you read the lyrics

[soc32cerstar]

i love this old rock

[LilXBlueXGuitar]

How fucking suicidal are these sweeps?! I tried learning them and all I got were bloody fingers. At least I can tell people I can play it slowly.....very..very..slowly.

[meateatingvegans]

I was about to click on another BTBAM song after this one was over, I accidentally clicked replay....best mistake ever!!!

[mainecolbs]

Way too heavy vocal wise, but for a genre, musically, math core is pretty beast

[MrMetalLife]

@mainecolbs you should look up their first tracks, vox has come a loooong way

[boondockrasta]

These guys are magical.

[painkillers6]

MY dog started to howl at the ending of this song. This is how badass this is.

[AlexxxShallPerish]

@painkillers6 haha

[painkillers6]

@AlexxxShallPerish no i swear it happend.

[blackbubblegum47]

this is...... just a little too heavy for my tastes

[87kungfu321]

I just recently got the Alaska album and I absolutely loved it to death, its all I've been able to listen to ever since I got it. I love the un-expected acoustic instrumental tracks like Breath In, Breath Out because it just makes the album even more epic! I just wanted to ask any fan of this band; are all their other albums done the same way as Alaska with the acoustic moments and epic songs? I hope to hear back from you :)

[dirtypeso55]

@fhsoccer1695 crappy breakdowns??? haha u must be confusing, imo, one of the greatest progressive band's music with some generic "core" band in one of the millions of sub genres now-a-days.

[NekGuitar]

btbam and protest the hero, i wish i was the half talented this bands are

[Acecombatgamer]

very melodic intro!!

[17deathmetal]

In my opinion it would be so much as an instrumental

[MrJoeysan]

1 thumb down is 1 thumb down to many.

[HellBlitz312]

what the hell does As I Lay Dying have to do with Between the Buried and Me their completely different?

[thegr8HarV]

they should release an instrumental album

[poisonheartthrob]

fantastic neo-classical style intro and then...amateur death metal to the end of the song. A potentially beautiful song ruined.

[RavenousFists]

Stuff I like about this band, stuff I hate. Talented? Yes. Boring? Kinda.

[Onuund]

@RavenousFists The melodic parts are good, the br00tl death metal shit is not. They should just strictly do melodic death metal.

[EmoSceneKid654]

@Onuund That's what I say, man. That's the only thing I don't like about music nowadays. Breakdowns are just a time-filler, and you all know that. Takes absolutely no talent to perform one. If Between the Buried and Me were to come out with an all melodic death metal album, they'd quickly jump to #1 in my book.

[splicerx7]

I have been looking for this song everywhere! I fucking love it! Definitely the most badass song I've ever heard!

[bloodrainz]

fuck i love this song

[rockband4life2013]

@bloodrainz fuck i love this band

[theevhdisciple]

Basically just a death metal version of Dream Theater... FUCK YES!!!

[fiestanoob]

@theevhdisciple

No comparison.

[Mattmoo36]

pause at 0:38, wait for it, wait for it. go! :O intense

[Imalllegs]

i know someone who has that tattoo on their back, its amazing

[slade1679]

@blazefire shut the fuck up you piece of shit i wanna see you get nominated for a fucking grammy you bitch and just because your probaly a fucking atheist others fucking like them,Thats seriously my fucking cousin and thats why this pisees me off.tim is so cool to hang with so yeah and no one gives a fuck what you have to say becasue no one gives a shit because your pure shit for hating on somthing/someone that youll never possibly achive bye.

[Bsabtallica017]

being nominated for a grammy doesnt mean shit

[emoklan]

@slade1679 nobody gives a shit about you or your family on youtube. Where the fuck does your cousin come into an argument about grammies

[jhush201]

i agree wit u bro.dont worry thats just a nigger thinks he knows everthing.btbm rocks bro !!!

[ihavenoname93]

@slade1679 '.' did you see that? its called a period/full stop (depending on where youre from) learn to use them

[emoklan]

Cool story bro.

[rockthecan]

@slade1679 cool story bro
