Flobots - "Rise"

[Bennyftw94]

RICE! RICE! RICE!

[fantab143kandy]

Fuck! I mean relly? Can someone please make some lyrics for this song?

[CrunchyTuesdayface]

Flobots and thrice are the only bands I know that care about something.

[Motherseriesownz]

I love the Flobots nobody can say they aren't good...sadly the rare music that is sweet to our ears like the kind the Flobots make is widely unknown...even though it's alot better the the trash the majority listens to today

[lifeiscrap103]

lol, random beach ball lands on stage at around 1:27 all the band members laughed a bit as MacKenzie punted it back into the crowd!

[skateboard0099]

Flobots are from denver right

[jimmaytonner]

Somedays I feel like being a complete asshole to everyone whose been pissing me off.. but then I listen to this and I just can't help but be nice..

"Everybody! Rise" :]

[FunkyBiRDFilms]

Damn, that girl with the violin is beautiful

[3lftw1ns]

best part is 0:00 - 4:45

[BLAHGUY126]

I don't think i will ever forget these lyrics.

[Girlsaportaa]

perfect song! *-*

[jorgeceon]

esta bien vergas esta cancion

[joshie676]

He sounds exactly how he does on the track. thats good

[Fear08MX]

lol, i love it when they do that at 3:45 in all of their live performances on 'rise', gives me goosebumps

[tnizzle53]

Whoa, I got goosebumps too.

[daculiest]

flobots rule, i there they're the only modern band that actually makes a point in there music and they really care about whats goinon

[puckbutt]

thats soooooooooo true!

[scargo103]

its true if your talking about rap. There are some others

[passion4drums]

you must only wat ch MTV then

[jnk4401]

Maybe only band, Lupe fiasco is similar... and there are some non rap/hip hop bands if you try looking

[bigpapa416]

totally agree on Lupe

[kylwntr]

@daculiest , there really are quite a few bands that make intelligent points and show concern, unfortunately they just aren't nearly as popular as the shit the majority listens to these days.

[Univeral1v1asters]

@daculiest They are called lyricists. The rap and flow about real shit. Shit that actually matters. xD

[itsakadoozy95]

@daculiest deeefinately not the only one......check oot some nofx

[mathal13]

@daculiest Rage Against The Machine doesn't make a point in their music?

[Jaimiejaystack]

@mathal13 they're not a modern band though...

[chumbucket206]

@daculiest Correction not a band they are lyricist's. Theirs a fine line between music and lyricists.

[Zveerinsh]

lol, some of Feobots video i cant watch, becouse

"This video is not available in your country"

O.o

[Tfmusicmaker]

The only thing I think he has in common with Eminem is that he is white and he raps.. His message is different and so is his flow. Who cares about that stuff anyways.. Good is good. And besides There isn't enough positiveness in the world. Let the people who are positive do there thang.. ya dig..

[MicoolSniper]

Did Mckenzie kick something at 1:32?:L

[lilschmidty567]

yes she does

[MicoolSniper]

Hahaha cool.

Any idea what it was?:L

Just curious:)

[Biggn001]

it was a beach ball going around in the crowd.

[earthfrenzy]

lmao

[bow2urepnoy]

plus he doesn't sing... he raps

[blunder90]

he wants to sing like Eminem or what

[witchrocks4eva]

in this vid the lead singer of the flowbots looks like Ian from smosh.....weird

[thecoolcam]

ya, your right! odd

[boxerboy3987]

I agree with mercsan117, bloodeleves is just a dumb republican, but they don't suck live its just the crapy recoding quality of the cell phone or some midget cam corder.

[thesilenceband]

haha in their intro the "rise,rise,rise" part makes me want to eat rice....subliminal??

[bmanolf]

ok the song is good but they looked really gay during the live performance wow

[xbloodelvesrulex]

im not saying it was a bad recording its just when they play combat they suck live

[chicachicayeahhhh]

they dont suck live, its probably just a bad recording

[xbloodelvesrulex]

the suck in live but there awesome

there probably democrats but like the commercial says !!!111!!!!!1!!1!!11111!DIVIDED WE FAIL!!!!111!!!!

[mercsan117]

you're a fag

[Andrew11381138]

Viva la RATM!!!

and Viva la Flobots!!!

[laughingsharpie]

good song

[leedsninja]

This is the most important song ever made.

[theoneyoucantstand]

ugh...

[forrestb16]

uhm... no

[TheTallestDwarf]

It's relevant at least. IT has meaning other then complaining, it tells people to work together to fix the issues with our country. You would have to be pretty ignorant, deaf, and blind to miss whats going on.

[mercsan117]

you're gay fag boy

[mercsan117]

im talking about forest, and the dude that has a name after a World of warcraft character, bloodelves.....homo

[DarkaneFiend]

It seems only one who plays/has played World of Warcraft would know "bloodelves" was a World of Warcraft character.

[Qermaq]

To you. No song is universally important. Some are universally impotent, but none speak to all.

Personally, while I like a lof of Flobots, this one, while lyrically compelling, is musically boring and makes me think of the machine they fight against, rather than the cornucopia of diversity they compel us to. It's an unfortunate mismatch that makes me wish this message was better told.

[Kilatypus]

@Qermaq Cornupia?

[Rikxcore]

Rise together we rise together

[robyns37]

This is my favorite song on the album. The one thing that I can't figure out is if the chorus is "we rise together" or "together we rise" It doesn't matter, but if you listen you can hear how it can be either.

[alohanikki93]

its my favorite too.

i think its "Together we RISE", but i guess it could be either.

[037kondo]

hey, good point made by robyns. This is actually my favorite song too, out of the flobots album.

[Mizfit51]

Eh, It's great. But Idk if it's their most important. They are all important to their own extent. I love every song from the CD, hell... Even the intro, love it.

[ebonbat]

Every time I hear this song I get chills. Its amazing.

[gomerA7X]

these guys are like rage against the machine kinda

[Rikxcore]

lol or not. nothing like rage.

[MadWatchStudios]

politically progressive like rage. and with a hip-hop/rock style, but with more hip-hop than rock

[Rikxcore]

yeah, but theres lots of bands politically progressive

[Inter237]

i dunno they remind me a bit of rage

[jbarrios1067]

probably they said that Rage was one of their biggest influences

[kellisatard]

thats obvious. they have enough of their own style though.

[riseagainst05050]

yeah!!! like seriously, Flobots are great... they have SERIOUS potential.. and a LOT of people are going to notice it...

and they're going to be BIUGE!!!!!!!!!!!

[riseagainst05050]

they're incredible

they're going to be BIG

they're going to be HUGE

[bigcombobreaker]

BIG and HUGE, jesus, they're going to be BIUGE

[daloamta]

ya their cool but i wouldnt say they woke america.............. been many before them not that they aint helpin i tihnk they good....................

[1337Ace]

true that mexifantic

[Kimimaru5696]

agreed.

I love them.

[yoyoxking]

this group is awesome.

guerilla terrorists of the music industry

[crazycyamaha]

hopefully not guerilla terrorists...

guerilla tactics are to strike hard and run.

i want flobots to stay for longer!
