Vevo I must thank you, for you see, I used to be mildly annoyed with your commercializing of video sharing, but my view today changed everything. While I came to YouTube in search of something new, I never would have dreamed I would stumble upon such a giddy delight as I found in listening to "This Little Girl" by Cady Groves. Sure I was surfing through metal/hard rock videos, but you just knew that somewhere deep inside of me I longed to ogle at an exploited, self-venerating musical travesty.
As soon as I started listening to this I knew I've heard it before but couldn't place it, now I remember it was on the radio for like a week a few years ago
just happen upon this band and think they should be more popular than most out there. the music is great and the singing is the shit so many combos of many other bands as you listen you here sounds from the 80's 90's and now. they are like looking through the looking glass a collideascope of sounds.
I was halfway through typing "Dance of the Manwhore" and then i clicked on "Dance of the Manatee" for a joke. But... i love this song!! I've found my new favorite artist!
This song, the album this song is from, are masterpieces. Best musical experience I've had in ages. I discovered this band only a few days ago and I don't remember ever getting addicted so fast to any other artist, except perhaps when I first listened to Queen as little teenager. Such a fresh, beautiful sound. Count me in as a FTM fan already :D
@JuhhFalaschi thats funny, i just started listening to thing, i like this shit already...haahha sweet. try some Between The Buried And Me...type in " BTBAM best solos"
What would you idiots prefer? Another music video in a parking lot with a bunch of idiots getting drunk, and wearing too much jewelery, complete with some skanks shaking their asses?
I think this video and the song create an interesting dichotomy, in a peculiar way.
Glad to be one of the less than 500,000 who appreciate this band and Video. Goes to show that success or talent is not necessarily based upon popularity or views.
@sexylexiebaby The meaning of this song sounds more and more like the Christian church and its history of hanging and killing anything that threatens them or seems different like so called "witches" (or woman who tried to think), people who are gay, hang us those limbs might refer to hanging someone and the term Mary was slang for transvestite, whether a he or a she, also indicates this. But thats just me.
i fucking hate the way this video is drawn :P but dear lord i love this band. Found them like 3 days ago, and some of their songs have already become some of my favorites :P
I heard this on the pandora app. Brilliant music, just great. The video is the most distracting piece of artwork I have ever seen. It's cool, but also a bit lame. They could have just played the music with a logo on this video and let the music create the world. Old school style.
@Rocko1290 Well yeah I do notice a lot of people think it's exactly what makes them special, but for some reason I can't get used to it. It's like there is too much vibrato in his voice or something. But as I said, the music is great, would love to seem them live one day. Oh and btw, I'm not a dude ;)
I wish FTM would release a sound with an arabic/egyptian feel. I'd love to hear Darroh's voice soar over some ambient haunting rhythms....anyone else think so?

i've heard the song is about these women "marys" speaking out against an abusive man "the deeper voiced parts"
you have to hear many different versions and older versions to understand it better i guess, and the live intro to this song has people talking and somebody saying "and with brute force he will take whats his"
Part 3: He carries the few people who seek his help to safety.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I understood. Read the lyrics though. It might help.
Maybe the giant is a guy with a big heart who helps the people (the rare person of society who is the "doormat") and they walk all over him. He finally snaps because he's had enough. He did so much for them and they never cared. The three people he carries off in the end are the few who actually appreciated him. so he helps them.
Part 2: Time passes and they begin to advance. Then one goes crazy (maybe he symbolizes war and destruction?) and torches the whole village and the other ones revolt (their actions destroyed the fertile land so maybe that's why they're upset?). Meanwhile, the giant becomes weary from being stuck and lashes out. He finally frees himself but falls over, causing a huge earthquake that levels the cliff and cracks the land open, causing a huge flow of water. This water fertilizes the whole land.
PART1: The people of this little colony are trying to grow something to build houses and stuff, but they are having a drought. They pray and plants seeds, but their crops die instantly. Along comes this giant who is just doing his own thing. He comes up to the cliff and gets stuck in quicksand. These people, knowing the land beyond that cliff is fertile, use the giant as a ladder system.
I'm ok with these guys not becoming big becuase then i woud have to deal with people overplaying them. Plus doesn't fame get to bands some times? I wouldnt change a thing about ftm, their Originality makes them who they are.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
THESE GUYS FUCKING SUCK, No I am kidding these guys make me gizz myself who the fuck needs porn these days any kind of music that FTM throws at you is 10x better than porn or sex .. okay maybe not sex but still FTM IS THE BEST FUCKING BAND OUT THERE THUMBS THIS UP TO SHOW MY GAY LOVE FOR THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@thatdudeud0ntknow They're smart enough to not do that. They'd get fucked by a label man, this is common music knowledge. Originality would go straight out the door
23 people aren't from Dallas and didn't see this band play live. :( So sad for them. So really sad. This song was better (a) live at Curtain club and (b) before the remake.
Read the gospel of thomas. open your eyes to what has been hidden from you, however cleverly right in front of your eyes. the info is there. this is the time of the great revealing, and the time has been here, and it is switching gears. i love all. good, bad, everything plays a role. try to do the 'crazy voice thing' he does live on the bridge, add infinitum. it's the sacred syllable. take this shit and run with it all the way to valhalla. peace and blessed and blissed be.
"When you make the male like the female, and the female like the male, then you will enter the kingdom." Take enough psychadelics, explore your emotions and your dichotomy becomes a unity, and you shine out your eyes. you know stuff. you know yourself. it's the true path to the divine.
I only listened to Fair To Midland cos they're supporting Evanescence with The Pretty Reckless in November (and im going - eeek!) but i actually rather like them - goood!
I saw them play this song live last night in Portland; this sounds weak in comparison to what I heard. My roommate was right to say they sound better live.
My friend told me to look this song up. This has to be the most unique rock sound I've heard. It's like a cross between a bunch of different singers and guitars and epicness. PS the art is amazing
Don't judge a band by just one song. Try listening to the new album Arrows and Anchors. But maybe intelligent music just isn't your thing "Optimus Pride". Really original name coming from someone that makes sesame street references. Stick to your transformers cartoons and bullshit movies. Transformers suck!!! LOL
@OptimusHide well thats your opinion though, personally the song would not have the same effect to me. and at least its not constant cookie monster metal like Cannibal Corpse, so no, cookie monster metal is not tolerable to me. it was for a brief amount of time in this song, so it didnt ruin it for me.
I'm guessing things like cookie monster metal are tolerable to you? I find his grumbling really annoying... why couldn't he have just sang that part why did it have to be like crazy cookie monster grumbling? Seriously... why? You think that makes the song good, where as I think it took a great song and brought it down to a cheap level.
Hey hey, enough of this bias against metal. If you don't like it, then please just listen to something that doesn't have any metal. No need for anybody to argue about anything, here.
I never said anything against "metal", REAL metal is great... cookie monster metal is just ridiculous. It's just my opinion that when the singer starts going into cookie monster mode it destroys the tune... it doesn't make it badass, no quite the opposite.
@OptimusHide first of all, more than half of what you categorize as "real metal" uses guttteral or distorted vocals. Does it make it "cooler" or more badass? No, it just makes it different as how using distorted guitars makes metal different from classical guitar. If you honestly think that bands like Opeth or Obscura are dumbed down because they use gutteral vocals, you need help.
You could also change "dumbed down" with idiotic. It sounds like they are low IQ'd morons. I'm sorry but cookie monster metal does not make you bad ass, it is like poor man's metal... it is the bottom of the barrel scum. If these bands threw their "singer" to the curb and got someone else who wasn't a descendant of the cookie monster they may actually turn out something worthy! Opeth is awful.. listened to them and knew right away I never would again!
@OptimusHide I'm not going to defend this band. I personally don't really like the style. I will say, though, that people who argue online about music they don't like sound like FUCKING IDIOTS when they just bash everything. It's all a matter of taste. I like both "real" metal and most of the much heavier derivatives, and there's talent to be found everywhere. Try not to sound like a complete joke when you talk about something and maybe people will attempt to consider your opinion.
I'm sure there is talent to be found everywhere, and a lot of these bands have good musicians it's when they hire a guy who can only grumble into the microphone that makes it stupid and idiotic. I can go anywhere and find someone who can grumble as good as these guys can... there is no talent involved in this form of expression and it dumbs down the music. Why have a band with talent only to ruin it with an emo angry dufus who sounds like the cookie monster?
@OptimusHide i don't really care that you don't like it. im really the biggest fan of this band anyway. its just that you say "poor man's metal" like you think you're somehow better than people who listen to this type of music. which is absolutely ridiculous to suggest. if you wanted to think you were "stronger minded" for not listening to a genre of music go with pop since that shit is advertised by a corporate machine.
I had good things to say about THIS band if you read that at all. I put "pop" on the same level as "cookie monster metal" like Opeth... both ridiculous and annoying. You like it because when you listen to these hacks scream and grumble into the microphone that somehow makes you bad ass when in fact it's just you showcasing to the world that you enjoy weak simple minded music. Congrats... people know you listen to crap!
@OptimusHide ok first off i don't even like this band, i just don't like you. and secondly i don't listen to harsh vocals because it makes me feel "badass" i listen to harsh vocals because when they're done right they can sound really cool and enhance the music behind it.
I like you! I've never found the enhancement of the music based on cookie monster grumbling, nor has it sounded "cool"... no... instead it just comes off as a very dense, dopey and unintelligent form of expression.
@makechangekillurself this band is so freaking amazing live. you can't even comprehend what your up against. the range of vocals on this cat is absolutely nuts, the lyrics are deeply twisted, and there's a frenzy to the performance that i haven't seen since last shadows fall tour.
@xanderarena I’ve heard that too. My bf saw them right before they got signed, at a club in Tulsa and he said it’s one of the top three performances he’s ever seen, and he’s seen way over 2000 shows. He was totally blown away. I’ve missed out on chances to see them but I really want to.

I saw them play this song live last night in Portland; this sounds weak in comparison to what I heard. My roommate was right to say they sound better live.

My friend told me to look this song up. This has to be the most unique rock sound I've heard. It's like a cross between a bunch of different singers and guitars and epicness. PS the art is amazing

Thinking harsh vocals dumb down music is completely ridiculous. Also, thinking anybody can do them is as stupid as can be.
Harsh vocals have their place in heavy music, and when they're done right, they're amazing.

Don't judge a band by just one song. Try listening to the new album Arrows and Anchors. But maybe intelligent music just isn't your thing "Optimus Pride". Really original name coming from someone that makes sesame street references. Stick to your transformers cartoons and bullshit movies. Transformers suck!!! LOL

@OptimusHide well thats your opinion though, personally the song would not have the same effect to me. and at least its not constant cookie monster metal like Cannibal Corpse, so no, cookie monster metal is not tolerable to me. it was for a brief amount of time in this song, so it didnt ruin it for me.

OptimusHide without that part the song wouldnt be as good.

@peanutbuttercrunc100
I'm guessing things like cookie monster metal are tolerable to you? I find his grumbling really annoying... why couldn't he have just sang that part why did it have to be like crazy cookie monster grumbling? Seriously... why? You think that makes the song good, where as I think it took a great song and brought it down to a cheap level.

Hey hey, enough of this bias against metal. If you don't like it, then please just listen to something that doesn't have any metal. No need for anybody to argue about anything, here.

@elementual
I never said anything against "metal", REAL metal is great... cookie monster metal is just ridiculous. It's just my opinion that when the singer starts going into cookie monster mode it destroys the tune... it doesn't make it badass, no quite the opposite.
OptimusHide 7 months ago
@OptimusHide first of all, more than half of what you categorize as "real metal" uses guttteral or distorted vocals. Does it make it "cooler" or more badass? No, it just makes it different as how using distorted guitars makes metal different from classical guitar. If you honestly think that bands like Opeth or Obscura are dumbed down because they use gutteral vocals, you need help.

@igotwoodhaha
You could also change "dumbed down" with idiotic. It sounds like they are low IQ'd morons. I'm sorry but cookie monster metal does not make you bad ass, it is like poor man's metal... it is the bottom of the barrel scum. If these bands threw their "singer" to the curb and got someone else who wasn't a descendant of the cookie monster they may actually turn out something worthy! Opeth is awful.. listened to them and knew right away I never would again!

@OptimusHide I'm not going to defend this band. I personally don't really like the style. I will say, though, that people who argue online about music they don't like sound like FUCKING IDIOTS when they just bash everything. It's all a matter of taste. I like both "real" metal and most of the much heavier derivatives, and there's talent to be found everywhere. Try not to sound like a complete joke when you talk about something and maybe people will attempt to consider your opinion.
acerbicsleight 7 months ago
@acerbicsleight
I'm sure there is talent to be found everywhere, and a lot of these bands have good musicians it's when they hire a guy who can only grumble into the microphone that makes it stupid and idiotic. I can go anywhere and find someone who can grumble as good as these guys can... there is no talent involved in this form of expression and it dumbs down the music. Why have a band with talent only to ruin it with an emo angry dufus who sounds like the cookie monster?

OptimusHide 7 months ago
@OptimusHide i don't really care that you don't like it. im really the biggest fan of this band anyway. its just that you say "poor man's metal" like you think you're somehow better than people who listen to this type of music. which is absolutely ridiculous to suggest. if you wanted to think you were "stronger minded" for not listening to a genre of music go with pop since that shit is advertised by a corporate machine.
SuperCrappyVideos 7 months ago
@SuperCrappyVideos
I had good things to say about THIS band if you read that at all. I put "pop" on the same level as "cookie monster metal" like Opeth... both ridiculous and annoying. You like it because when you listen to these hacks scream and grumble into the microphone that somehow makes you bad ass when in fact it's just you showcasing to the world that you enjoy weak simple minded music. Congrats... people know you listen to crap!
OptimusHide 7 months ago
@OptimusHide ok first off i don't even like this band, i just don't like you. and secondly i don't listen to harsh vocals because it makes me feel "badass" i listen to harsh vocals because when they're done right they can sound really cool and enhance the music behind it.
SuperCrappyVideos 7 months ago
@SuperCrappyVideos
I like you! I've never found the enhancement of the music based on cookie monster grumbling, nor has it sounded "cool"... no... instead it just comes off as a very dense, dopey and unintelligent form of expression.

@makechangekillurself this band is so freaking amazing live. you can't even comprehend what your up against. the range of vocals on this cat is absolutely nuts, the lyrics are deeply twisted, and there's a frenzy to the performance that i haven't seen since last shadows fall tour.
you eat cookie monster's crumbs.

@xanderarena I’ve heard that too. My bf saw them right before they got signed, at a club in Tulsa and he said it’s one of the top three performances he’s ever seen, and he’s seen way over 2000 shows. He was totally blown away. I’ve missed out on chances to see them but I really want to.
