Brand New - Millstone (alternate)

[UsernameNumber9]

This version is amazing, so refreshing (after listening to this album a billion times ^_^).

[jenstar528]

I love this version.

[randomactsok]

For those who ask all the time about why Jesse always relates or has songs that sound christian or whatever, it's because he went to a catholic high school. Not saying his school is the actual reason for the songs, but you understand what I mean.

[JamwithBands]

@randomactsok no... no we don't

[randomactsok]

@JamwithBands Well that blows for you, sir.

[tsoadk]

man a lot of their demo stuff i like more than the official versions...love having multiple versions of their songs though this one is so much deeper i love it

[mattloque]

This version is amazing - it's like the original on slow drugs. Anyway, to end all the lies and confusion, it's an official version and can be purchased on Spotify. Search "Brand New Millstone" and it's the version which is 05:05 in length. Enjoy.

[DenialBecomesMe]

I'm pretty sure this is just the demo version that leaked before the album was out.

[Telecasterpunk]

Jesse's voice is a lot clearer in this version. I like it.

[coolbleachfan1]

The person who uploaded this didn't mess with Millstone. This is the true alternate version. If you took time to compare the original and this version, Lacey changed the lyrics. For example, in the original, the lyrics were "I used to know the name of every person I kissed, Now I've made this bed, and I can't fall asleep." In this one it's, "I was the captain who stay the course, When the storm rose up and showed us all its worst." Also at the beginning in this, you can hear Lacey counting.

[Shellsonimperial]

This version sucks

[dannyscow]

Luke 17:2

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. KJV

I've noticed that he used parts of Bible verses a lot.

[negroidzzz]

what the fuck is this shit, dont mess with good songs.

[tdg72788]

the name of this song is millstone? dummy

[KrazyKate28]

im pretty sure it's "my own stone" you can hear him pronounce the "n" in "own".. "mile" doesn't have an "n" at the end of it

[Rizza401]

thumbs up if you like brand news old music so much better than their new stuff. <3 deja entendu

[novawildcat89]

The sound is good but it doesn't have the drumming...

[VALObrand]

where is this from?

[jeff111291]

this is awesome, where did this come from?/ is there anywhere to download it? thanks

[musicismyfavorite777]

Saying Milestone makes no sense. I Milestone is a marking on the road to indicate distances. A Millstone is a heavy responsibility or burden. Hence the meaning of the song. He has a very big responsibility in trusting and following God. The chorus says "I'm my own stone around my neck." Is that what I wish the lyric was? No, doesn't mean it's not that. It still makes sense, the name of the song doesn't have to be in the lyrics.

[ALocalVandal]

@musicismyfavorite777

Its a play on words. Yes, a Milestone is a marking on a road that indicates distances, but its also a way of measuring worth: An achievement. He thinks its funny in a kind of sardonic way how such an "accomplishment" is weighing him down. You could say that his pride(or new attitude) is literally dragging him down. Both Milestone and Millstone. Cool huh?

[lilbabyworden]

They really shouldve stuck with this version. i can picture the opening riff in the background of all the noise you hear after Sowing Season, then just hearing that counting. itd be really great.

i also really like the alternate lyric in the second verses.

[emptyhate]

Oh wow. I have never heard this version and I swore to be such a huge fan. I feel kind of lame now. I like it.

[chaterestre]

this is my favorite version <3

[FredoSanchez]

Whoa. Incredible!

[philstonvilla]

Pretty sure the chorus lyric is "I'm my own stone around my neck".

[13entley]

@philstonvilla the song is called millstone lol your wrong

[philstonvilla]

@13entley I don't think so mate. He clearly doesn't say the word millstone. He's saying he is like a millstone around his own neck (holding himself back) "I'm my own stone around my neck". Ha... you're wrong.

[theadventurescomics]

@13entley The word millstone is pronounced "Mill-Stone" not "Milestone" He is in fact saying in the chorus "I'm my own stone around my neck". Sorry i agree with phil on this one.

[CHESTERxTHExMOLESTER]

I like this version better. Anyone know where i can download it, or even better provide me with a link?

[philstonvilla]

It's on itunes.

[CHESTERxTHExMOLESTER]

Not the alternate version.

[philstonvilla]

Just realised you are in U.S. It's on the UK itunes.

[YoSushi33]

Brand New is fucking class man!!

[joshbros30]

WOAH THIS IS F***ING EPIC. Better than the album version. Or maybe just cause I've listened to the original so many times.

[Xxsoon2bxX]

this is amazing

i love Jesse's voice raw like this

[novawildcat89]

reminds me so much of the perfect storm.

"i was the captain who would stay the course

when the storm rose up and showed us all its worse."

obviously thats metaphorical coming from brand new but...just how i look at it.

[Buzzguy701]

i like these lyrics a little better but i feel like the album version goes with the DandG better that version is much rawer and heavier

[saur112]

"They never hit their brakes..."

"There was no time to see..."

"He just ran out in the street..."

"Does anybody know his name?"

"I think I recognize him..."

"He sure as hell paid for that mistake..."

This is so good. Not just good. Sooo good.

[Ringo2k7]

i like this version its quite quirky :-D

[musicforsanity]

Reminds me exactly why I love Lacey's voice and the indescribable sound of Brand New.

[shaveslow]

great song tell people to listen to it

[unvme601]

i cant believe i havent heard this song before

[Wr3tched1]

the intro is baaaad assss

[kelzosaurus]

jesse's ending "whoa-oh"s are beautiful in this song! =)

[N1NTHW9RD]

pretty sure the backing vocals are vinnie, not jesse.

[kelzosaurus]

whoever's... they're great.

[LaeLithium]

amazing <3

[forrest42]

so which version came first?

[ConflictInTheSky]

I'd say this version came first...it sounds more like a demo as opposed to being an alternate version.

[Pheonick]

Oh my science, this is awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us! To think I assumed the song could get no better...

[paigeamiss]

lols the lyrics are i used to care i was being cared for , lols so yes that person is right. and i like the other version better honestly lols

[amandathepropaganda]

holy crap. how the heck did you even find this?!

[lightMSR22]

It came on a single.. i think.. could be wrong..

[musicforsanity]

Came with the single Jesus Christ. So you're right.

[lfe3]

love this song

though i think the lyrics are:

I used to care, I was being cared for.

[timdem123]

You are definitly right.

[6061276]
