"I don't care if the ship sinks and we drown or if the plane crashes straight into the ground As long as I had a chance to close my eyes Had a moment to realize it was time, it was time, it was time." Fucking amazing.
His voice is just so soothing. My seizures are back with a vengeance and almost unmanageable, I've been told multiple things by multiple doctors about right frontal lobe trauma, but his voice helps me through it all. I'm broke, in debt, possibly dying, almost homeless, and trying to cope with it all, but "I really, truly, honestly, without a doubt want to believe that everything will be alright."
@@MasterSoki23 I went from a hundry fifty seizures that year to just one in the past 12 months. My meds keep it relatively low, have a not horrible union job, my neurologist, Dr. Singh, says the gliosis hasn't worsened the past eight months. My partner and I just bought a house together, and I got to see my son's eighth birthday. My medical debt is down to about 10k, now. It's been nearly three years since I almost pulled the trigger, but a mix of willpower, my dad, my best friend, the levetiracetam, phenytoin, and depakote helped turn the tides to a bit more hopeful. I'm most likely going to at least see him graduate high school, and if all goes well, I'll keep my mind some years longer. I'm happy, and I'm as okay as I could hope to be. Thank you.
"But I heard someone say they knew that someday that everything would fall into it's place and everything would be fine. I really truly honestly, without a doubt want to believe that everything will be alright. Oh my God I will hold my tongue and I'll breathe easily, if anyone can say with any sort of certainty that there is something to believe." The strongest lyrics I've ever heard and they well forever be engraved into my mind.
this song gave me strenght in a rough time in my life, lost a good job, my girlfriend and a lot of money but nobody mention that the pieces wouldnt fit.... right before we went our separate ways.... it brings tears to my eyes but tears of an overcoming feeling because I managed to fucking left everything and stand back again
I'm right there with you. I discovered this song after losing my job, my girlfriend, and debt piling high. It's given me a certain strength knowing someone could speak to me in such a way. I'll forever be thankful to Toh Kay/Streetlight for their music because of it.
@@Ashh602 The Toh Kay version of this album was never officially released thanks to the record company being dicks. It's not on Spotify (yet?) so it's only on TH-cam and file sharing sites

Thank you for redoing streetlights songs 😅. I love the lyrics they use but damn they're music is alot. Your sound is so haunting and soothing. I love it.
I’m a year late but here to tell you that this is the lead singer of Streetlight Manifesto. He likes to do calm versions of their albums bc he knows that their sound can be a lot for some folk :)
And I really truly honestly without a doubt want to believe that everything will be alright. But when some people unable to describe this clueless life, it would be a wrong place for others, and case closed. I think it's just too much..
right, so i am INCREDIBLY confused. i knew the lead of SM was also in catch 22, but. didnt know he also went as a soloist named Toh Kay. Also was shocked to see this song as a solo? I adore the SM version on spotify, but cant actually find it on YT. also no clue who victory records are- along w the fact that the hands that thieve also seem to be an album by toh kay, w the same cover as the SM version. did the band just cover all his singles and only put them on spotify or something?
He's basically said in interviews that when he writes a song for streetlight, he does it first on an acoustic guitar to get a feel for how it sounds. If he thinks the song works well as a solo acoustic song, he records the Streetlight Manifesto version with the whole band as well as a solo version under the name Toh Kay. A lot of Streetlight Manifesto songs have Toh Kay versions (obviously, this whole album has both a Toh Kay and an SM version), but not all of them. That being said, Tomas Kalnoky has a sort of fetish for redoing his own work over and over again. Reading the liner notes from the vinyl copy of 99 Songs for The Revolution, he tells a story about making his brother record like 80 takes of the violin part in Linoleum. He's kind of an obsessive perfectionist, and so being able to record two versions of some songs (or three or four versions, if you count the catch-22/BOTAR versions of a few) probably gives him a chance to improve on the songs in little ways, like how the Toh Kay version of If Only For Memories has an extra verse, etc.
Victory records are a record label that screwed Thomas of selling this album for both copyright and money problems.. to my knowledge at least. That's also why the toh Kay album isn't on Spotify, because it's technically not a released album nor will it ever be 🥺 but on the bright side, idk if you know this but he also has a band called Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution 😇
Ill represent the fact that this only has 7,845 views, very little comments, and the fact that I know, realize and enjoy that this is the singer of catch 22, streetlight, and his own "Toh Kay" project, not to mention the mastermind to the lyrics/some of the instrumental of all of the above.

I get fucking goosebumps every time I listen to this part. EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. Even after 10 years.

I've seriously thought about getting them tattooed.
I won't die before watching him and SM perform live. They're phenomenal
Mr. Kalnoky has the strange ability to activate sweat glands in my eyes.
Evan11of10 agreed. his lyrics get me every time.

Keep on keeping on, man. It's cheesy but it's all you can really do.
This tune still gives me chills, and is a blast to play to boot.
Best song on the album, easily.
Is it a delux version or something? I cannot for the life of me find this song on Spotify

This is a genre in its own.. I can't get enough. I come to these songs every night. It's just too real.. Too relevant to my mind.
This song is bitter sweet. My two year old loves it. But the lyrics remind me of his mother and it cuts deep.
What happened to his mom?
This song is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard, and I NEED this album on Vinyl immediately.
Why did i find this when i needed it most?
I don't know where the sun goes every night, every night.
Or where the moon goes, when it's light, when it's light.
I don't mind, as long as it's there in time.
Oh, as long as they're there in time,

F Victory Records, they are the hands that thieve, and why good bands disappear to be replaced by garbage.
