I invented a drinking game. You take a shot every time the time signature changes in this song. Beware: you get shit-faced pretty fast

[Njerve1]

One of the most intense "rock" genre songs i've heard. Oceansize <3

[SaturnineXTS]

This song is the purest , most fundamental definition of eargasm.

@gingerofwar97 They do have a new project upcoming, called ´British Theatre´. I came here because I heard just that bit of news and wanted to check out Oceansize to see if it´s any good. Not entirely convinced, but I´ll have to listen more.

@gingerofwar97 I was absolutely gutted when I heard they broke up. It took a while to hit me before I realized I wouldn't hear another song by them ever again.

[TheIneffableMe]

@AmericanDiplomat funny that you say that, because i count 12 quarter-notes in each measure through the whole song. they're just distributed in a weird way :D

@Deadwing1411 ..except oceansize isnt around anymore they broke up. I wish they hadnt, i discovered them quite recently and theyre really good.

[ScrapBrainMusic]

This has to be one of the best songs ever.

HOWEVER, the whole experience will always be ever so slightly marred by that fucking autotunesque flangery shite on the second line. I don't doubt Sheldon's integrity as a producer (Effloresce especially sounds top notch), but seriously- we get Mike isn't an X Factor virtuoso pitch perfect fucking vocalist, but what could've possibly been so bad about that bit that had to be covered up with a retarded whooshing sound? I mean come on!

[Deadwing1411]

anybody has the american version of Frames? there lyrics in the artwork are almost invisibles.. that was the intention? btw, this is one of the best songs ever, period. Long live Ocensize.

(3) from them i strip the title extinguish and misuse and all our engraved memories are unsuccessful remedies i'm sick of papering the cracks and extinguishing the fire tracks though flawed by design i'm torn from the strife that did pile at the door but is feared no more though i once wedded her and her want was to play as another's arms held took her wanting away questions on top of questions don't think that it is too late for me unsung, untied , alive (lyrics verified by mike himself)

(2) How loud this blade of grass How long til eventide The dark that shroud your loving neighbour He's the one who lit the paper While the reason's unexpressed And the sources undetermined the innocent are voiceless the voiceless are innocent should i cut that middleman just dig a hole and throw me in say a prayer to my loving saviour he's the one who lit the paper say a prayer to my loving saviour he's the one who lit the paper
