Fair to Midland - The Wife, the Kids, and the White Picket Fence (with Lyrics)

[123unknownsoldier126]

meh, honestly this is the only song that I do not like by them. BEsides this song, they are the best band ever.

[hbk236]

I love this FtM their so calming and yet one of the best bands to rock out to they need more air time

[GuinnessMmmm]

Nothing stands out in this song to you!? How about 2:29? Man! His pipes blow me away! So awesome!!

[Themaskedadventurer]

The bridge...I don't why, but it almost moves me to tears

[Tool78Maynard]

@Themaskedadventurer I get goosebumps everytime I hear it.

[futurecomic75]

the number of views for this video is probably being shown in billions.

[XsinisterbowX]

"For the tug of war, and who you'll pull for."

That part gives me chills. He sings it incredibly.

[Skwigelf100]

Dat Bridge

[garyck91]

How can you sing like that and have no publicity.. I saw them live and the singing was flawless.

[Deviancy0712]

@garyck91 I know right?? Just saw them in Mesa AZ few weeks ago.. One of the best live bands I have ever seen. and the melody and chords Darroh can hit with his voice is flawless!

[Kerfuffleinahussle]

Love it :)

[justinburnsred]

LOL weezy 4 lyfe~~

what a fag.

this song, as well as all the others on this CD, and EVERY other song FTM has made is brilliant

[abbashabbalabba]

This song is pure poetry. The lyrics tell a subtle story behind what some may say are quite random lyrics, and the music flows in such a way that allows the mind to wander into the sea of meaning that these guys so passionately put into their music.

[DntL0okAtm3]

no dislikes hmm jes looks good dats they way it shud stay

[BlackEmerita]

FTM Rocks! Bottom-line! *Roll Credits* LLS

[Goran1408986]

His vocals are giving me eargasms and orgasms and every kind of gasms out there!!

[Nhoward2807]

I can't fucking wait to see them tonight in Pittsburgh

[VelaStorm7]

I came across these guys just yesterday, having never heard them before. I was shocked at how good this album was! It's amazing, it's perfect, every single song is epic. The vocalist is just... WOW! I'm looking forward to their next release!

[agm2004]

I like their sound, but i wish it was easier to hear what they're singing

[BeyondTheHolyGates]

Fair to Midland are fantastic and this album is outstanding. I really hope they play this song when I see them in April.

[UmekoChan11]

i remember finding these guys when i was a jr in highschool i loved them and still do

[orphaeus99]

@mmilrany Nobody ever said you had to like it. I for one think the lyrics are brilliant, as do most of the others who have commented on this video. It's not my job to please you, so if you don't like it stay away from the video.

[kikin12v1]

@orphaeus99 dude its a troll chill

[abbashabbalabba]

@mmilrany damn kid learn to be able to identify talented musicians, or at least respect them. lil wayne may sound good, but take away all the vocal enhancements and fake shit and all you have is a crappy rapper talking about getting high. it's a shame when the world strays away from real music to synthetic shit

[KingKrimson89]

@mmilrany Idiocy, similar to Mastercard, except it's everywhere you don't want it to be.

[bhindblueyes1011]

@mmilrany Obvious troll is Obvious

Besides Fair to Midland is and always will be amazing

[DanielFortesquieu]

@mmilrany Just another wanna be harcore nigga throwin up weezy's gay ass fuck u foo.

[markers123]

@mmilrany weezy is an untalented nigger dude. are you a complete dumbass? all he does is sing in to a box that modifies his voice. Fair to midland actually has talent.

[DarkJojobobba]

@mmilrany lol troll

[dan52484]

I love FTM! There isn't any good music out there, anyone have any suggestions? If you could be so kind as to point me in the right direction i'd be happy to return the favor. Thanks.

[sippe555]

@dan52484 Karnivool, Rishloo and Pain of Salvation. Check them out :)

[iph3arno1]

This song is awesome. I like how they can make kick-ass songs like A Loophole in Limbo, and also make songs like this. This band is so talented.

[KJPDude]

I love this album. The singer's voice is just amazing.

[NyxieReptarRawr]

Why do more people not know this band? Its sad. Their amazing.

[NodRodge]

"(Bridge)" = AMAZING GOOSEBUMPS MOMENT! <3

[g0n20magg0t]

I was never a HUGE fan of this song until I heard the lyrics.

Also, 0 dislikes. Goddamn right.

[iphoneslone]

After hearing this song here I immediately downloaded the whole album from iTunes. Thank You FTM, you've shared a gift with us all. See yall round Sulfur Springs

[dakacaza]

It's "Suffice it to say"...just saying.

[PlanetaryXVagabond]

THE BEST FTM SONG EVAR.

[guildwars69x]

Heard about these guys somewhere a LOONG time ago and I'm just now checking these guys out. I'm blown away ..nothing more to say.

[kerolush]

omg  2:29 - 2:48 it´s unbelievable!!

[danielspital]

@kerolush incredible innit. Sends shivers down my spine!

[abbashabbalabba]

This is their best song hands down in my opinion. Literally every time I listen to it, it gets better. These guys need to be a little more popular, but not to the point where they lose touch with their indie underground feel.

[simeon58]

is there more than one vocalist? It kind of sounds like there's a low voice doing back up when he hits the high notes. unless it's just layered.

[orphaeus99]

@simeon58 Nope, that's one singer (Darroh Suddeth) doing everything. Think Mike Patton from Faith No More if you want a close comparison.

[Jwall7007]

@orphaeus99 Mike Patton really? Go look up Dead Letter Circus, check out their songs Here We Divide, One Step, and Big, you will see a good singer Kim Benzie, he doesnt do any growls but he can sing falsetto with the best of them.

[orphaeus99]

@Jwall7007 I have herd of Dead Letter Circus. Awesome, very unknown, and their singer does have a hell of a lot of talent. Maybe a combination of the two would be more appropriate.

[Jwall7007]

@orphaeus99 Im sure you have heard of The Butterfly Effect, Clint Boge has a good voice. The Aussies are coming up with some good bands these days, I cant get into Birds Of Tokyo though.

[EvilElmo135]

@orphaeus99 Actually the keyboard does some back ups

[kyliphillips]

@orphaeus99 omg that band is elijfgaosijbgadsg

[XxRipStitchxX]

@simeon58 actually the keyboardist does backup but not alot.. Darroh has all the range... hes just well amazing

[pocketspeaking]

@dead letter circus' singer is horrid live though

[swallowthedark]

@simeon58 it might be a different singer hard to say but there are definitely multi-part harmonies going on on both ends of the scale

[arronmetallica]

@swallowthedark It's all Darroh. One singer. He is amazing...

[forerunner06]

best song on the album

[abbashabbalabba]

@forerunner06 best song by them. possibly the best song to ever graze this earth in my terms

[jpeter38]

should upload in a diff formate so we can get better sound quality. at least 480p

[Agravesituation]

Beautiful, simply, beautiful in the most complex way

[LovelyLucidity]

This is one of the coolest songs I've ever heard in my life.

[MrJtr75]

I don't think Fair to Midland has been given a fair chance for radio play.

[arachnidkid13]

@MrJtr75

me neither, man. once in a great while they'll play dance of the manatee on Banana 101.5, but usually it's when someone requests it... :'(, or when they recently did a show in the machine shop in flint.

[JackBlair2]

@MrJtr75 Sure they have - they sound like a million other bands.

[XxAFIRINSDExX]

@MrJtr75 Who cares though man, that just means we who know them can appreciate their talent

[headcircus]

@MrJtr75 Its too brilliant for the masses. Most people can't digest and comprehend the brilliance, and thus... would you sell a candy bar at the convenience store that most people wouldn't even bother sniffing? People want a Snickers, and then leave... And they want their music digested and fed to them.

[boogeyratt]

@headcircus - Fucking fantastic analogy. You sir, win. That's all.

[FrikkenChicken]

@MrJtr75 i actually heard Musical Chairs on Sirius XM lol. I was very glad id heard it cause ive never even heard of this band before.

[HiImChristianBussard]

@MrJtr75 They have, Sirus Radio played them when this came out, its how i found them out.

[larry52333]

Had the ways and means to breach the borders of easy street. You didn't finish that line in the video.

[orphaeus99]

@larry52333 Really. I didn't know I'd missed that. Thank you for telling me.

[larry52333]

I have to get this album! It's fucking amazing!

[VonDutch04]

just get the whole album! its awesome!

[iloveskillet123]

evryone i ask says that the bridge were he holds a note for 16 seconds isnt impressive

[orphaeus99]

@iloveskillet123 Is this a sarcastic comment?

I only put that note there because I needed a space-filler, if that's what you're wondering/criticizing.

[iloveskillet123]

@orphaeus99 no its not sarcastic. so u mean he doesnt hold the note for 16 seconds?

[orphaeus99]

@iloveskillet123 Hmmm, I'm not sure.

[DisgruntledCanadian]

@orphaeus99 I think he means that when he shows the bridge part to people they usually dont think its impressive. But i think thats bull shit because that bridge is amazing.

[iloveskillet123]

@DisgruntledCanadian thank you

[rb12321]

@iloveskillet123 No he doesn't hold it. He takes a breath, but it's still very impressive to me. His voice is amazing.

[JTHM87]

@orphaeus99 I'm not sure if I'm missing something or what....but I definitely didn't hear him sing continuously for anywhere near 16 seconds.

[klap00]

@iloveskillet123 wtf are you talking about these 16 seconds ?? the singer ain't holding any notes more than 6-7 seconds there :D

[iloveskillet123]

@klap00 no he changes the pitch of it its the same note

[klap00]

@iloveskillet123 he pauses twice. fuck off, please :D what's wrong with your ears :D:D

[iloveskillet123]

@klap00 a. i wont f*** off.

b. yeah he pauses but doesnt breathe in otherwise u would hear him

[711dothedew]

all the downloads that i have found of this song have been gainy =(

[Tool78Maynard]

@711dothedew

Heres a solution: BUY THE ALBUM! What a concept!!

[AnewKINDofFEELIN]

Great song, but the audio is gainy as hell.

[orphaeus99]

@AnewKINDofFEELIN I don't know why that is. Maybe it was intentionally made like that, but this is the iTunes version of the song, and to me, it sounds no different than any other version I've heard.

[martintuvounperro]

grat song ;)
