Rainer Maria - Catastrophe

[brandnewkathryn]

i would like to think the backup is still important.

[wovokanarchy]

lame.

[WickedFireWitch]

This song is amazing. I love it. Who cares what genre it is?

[PsychDept]

indie/emo period. it's amazing.

[MCWHAMMER]

You know, I've struggled to get into this band's work (and am just finding out today that they are broken up (does it matter though, if she's the voice, and they're just backup instruments?).

Were there any other songs they released as powerful and as memorable as this one? I tried to find one in their back catalog, and could not.

W/them being broken up, u guys should look up main vocalist Caithlin De Marrais on Songkick.com (affiliated w/YouTube) - you can track her future concerts near you.

[Rhonettala187]

i love this :O thanks altpress.com :D

[duirage]

this is not indie rock..its a pop song - its a good one. no need to be ashamed of that/

[cdwilson0302]

My cousin directed this :DDDD

[triskut]

This video seems a little lesbian, I like it

[nasalscarecrow]

Love.

[jovanna242]

i saw this band back in the 90's a few times...

[csholl]

@jovanna242 me too and now I feel old. :)

[alexgordonepic]

@jovanna242, me too! they are nice. the guitarist is a real cool cat

[bhigr]

Nice song! 

[ClappingForChlamydia]

i miss this band sooooo much!!! i used to listen to them in high school and college.

i have all of their albums, and every time i listen to one of them, nostalgia hits me like a ton of bricks.

[ThePaleWriter]

This is not bad. I've seen worse videos get more stars & more views...Not fair.

[fitbmxseries1]

I think they are from wisconsin... madison maybe?

[TheFylup]

Yeah, they are from the Mad town.

[punkbutler88]

right, Rainer Maria deserves u buy their music. 1 of the best bands of all time...show some damn respect man!

[paypahboy23]

@punkbutler88

Just wish I could find this song on ITunes!

[punkbutler88]

for real?? not on itunes?? Ebay or Amazon would have it. Amazon's download service is ok. i bought some albums from them

[DarickC]

@paypahboy23 you can find them on emusic.com. they sell work by a lot of independant musicians. unless you're looking for enourmous names, that's a better site to go to than iTunes, in my opinion.

[crestmere]

Love this song.

[decoreh]

rilke we love you

[valandjoejonas916]

does anyone know where i can get this song for free?? b/c they dont have it on limewire :(

[chubroc]

I just downloaded it just now from Limewire. Just type in 'Rainer Maria' Under artist but don't type the name of the song. I found it in my first try

[valandjoejonas916]

ok i got it , thanks so much =D

[chubroc]

No problem

[khomatech]

just buy your fucking music, you bum

[letsEATmushrooms]

fuck that yo, steal it all

[fitbmxseries1]

when did they break up? is she doing solo stuff now or does she have a band? btw best rainier maria song is life of leisure... well imo.

[weirdgirl1338]

no...clear and true

that song owns!

[itsMarlenekids]

really intriguing video! :D great song!

(but im sad they disbanded)

[macbethag]

im seeingh her tommorow with owen :)

[zegustavo]

beautiful girls y great song

[PurpleHughes]

beautiful

[lasttimeforthis]

i'd give a lot to see this band live, they're probably one of my all time favorite bands, very inspirational

[trouz69]

Oh they totally rock live. Their music is such a mix of up tempo and down tempo so the first time i went to see them I was a little worried. But they came out and totally knocked me out, one of the better female rock bands in the last 15 years and the songs where Kyle sings as much or more than Caithlin are really really great too!

[narutothedobe]

this band rocks

my bro showed them to me and then told me there going to name there daughter (his wief is pregnant) rainer. i think thats a cool tribute to this

[chupacabra]

thats awesome. pretty sure rainer is a guys name but whatever

[dstucki1]

Yea, they are named after the male german poet, Rainer Maria Rilke

[hrkwk]

who coincidentally changed his name to rainer because it was more masculine than his given name

[webby686]

not their best song, but i have to concur with the many comments that they are a great live band that will be missed. they have a spectacular energy in concert that doesn't come across here.

[tharbk01]

yeah dude, its funy i liked this band and actually had accidentally gone to a format show not knowing they were playing. it was a pleasant surprise seeing as how it was my first time hearing them live.

[macbethag]

i didnt realize ne body but me listened to this amazing amazing band

[aaestheticcc]

rainer maria was amazing live. this video is amazing. Indeed sad i can't see them again :[

[moonmaan]

one of the best live bands ever-seen em a few times in chicago-at the metro with denali opening was just unreally fantastic

[13junes]

Spectacular video for an excellent song...

It breaks my heart that I discovered this band after they'd already stopped playing :(

[fenderchick2010]

This is my first time hearing the song and I love it already! Too bad they are broken up though

[DominusRecti]

Shit, I just got hit by an enormous wave of nostalgia.

I love this song.

[ChaosMagician08]

That was an awsome movie!!

[Alone2006forever]

that is one beautiful song

[cambridge0]

It's indie. It's lovely.

[dxmkrew]

i miss the off beat vocals. this shit is boring. Zzzzz.

[KrashhxD]

Sucks Monkey

[TheBlackRacist]

sounds like Indie u.u

[thiaminemononitrate]

I didn't know indie had a sound.

Putz.

[thecitylightsbloom]

price check on isle 5

[marcorm81]

there was an acoustic version of "artificial light" on the MTV site. now it's no longer there. has someone of you took it while it was online?!?! it was great..

[seraphuscarmyne]

Rainer Maria is officially labeled an Alternative Rock band. Now just shut up and enjoy the music.

[thefinewino]

Oh my goodness, people, cram it. Just listen to an awesome band without this driving need to classify the music. Just appreciate.

[StevieMogo]

I like this song.

listen to the lyrics, "Were the architects of the world, catastrophe keeps us together, ill find you at the end of the world"

Not emo, it conceptual with a pop sound.

Emo music is like wanna be goth.

This is wholesome

[Superstarseven]

Dude...real Emo is not wannabe goth. Emo has nothing to do with Goth and never had anything to do with Goth. You think Hot Water Music who are emocore sound and look like a goth band?

[monroid55]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemo

[preslejen]

This is indie rock... not emo... Just because somthing isn't in the mainstream dosen't make it emo.

[rocknrollgurl333]

bastard

[coffeeoverwater]

This is not emo. This is alternative rock. Hawthorne Heights are not emo either. Emo is Rites of Spring.

[Superstarseven]

Look at anybody talking about this band back in '99 or 2000...they were called an Emo group. Listen to the early emo diaries compilation albums by Deep Elm, there were some poppy-sounding songs there also.

[StevieMogo]

I really like the lyrics, and by the way, this is not emo. Hawthorne heights is emo, get it right

[Superstarseven]

Rainer Maria are 10 times the emo band that Hawthorne Heights could ever hope to be. Rainer Maria were always considered an emo group dude.

[Superstarseven]

Thanks for the 2 thumbs down...Even though I'm right.

[wheremyfrogo]

hmmm im looking for the disco music and this emo crap aint makin my fro do da jig. seesya peeps ima blowin dis popsicle stand

[whimsicalbeefjerky]

i love this video!

[fattbasstard1]

OMFG FUCKING EMO

[notnathaniel]

OMFG FUCKING DOUCHEBAG.

[rocknrollgurl333]

shut up nobody cares what u mainstream bastards think

[Ryguy1450]

I've loved Rainer Maria for a while now. When are they coming to Chicago again? Last time I saw them was at the fireside (RIP), good times.  What happened to the dueling vocals?

[preslejen]

Hey, sorry friend, I love them too, but they broke up in november.

[StevieMogo]

How old is this band?

[preslejen]

1995- 2006

[StevieMogo]

thx

[skalorstan]

I am going to marry her. We are going to dance at our wedding like she does at the end of the video.

I am in love.

[ICEROYX]
