The Menzingers are one of those bands that instantly put me in a great mood. Their lyrics are real, the music is upbeat and it just makes me feel alive.
They have that beautiful punk energy with amazing lyrics, musicianship, and talent. Will forever be one of my top bands. I love the way their music makes me feel at 35. Especially after growing up in the NY and Boston punk/hardcore scene
Notice how, whenever the "she stranger" is in frame, the lighting gets brighter, and the colors get more vibrant, but, whenever he is in frame, the colors become more muted, and the lighting darkens and gets a colder, blue overtone.
My inner monologue is writing S.O.S on deserted islands And there's no one out there to read the signs Just distant oceans and great blue skies But my miserable memory is making me more miserable My mundane mind is waiting on some kind of miracle Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever Maybe it's for the best we pretend like we never met Forget everything that we've ever known Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever Well I built a raft out of total desperation And I got kidnapped by a pirate nation Now somewhere out there I ramble and roar You wouldn't recognize me anymore But if I come into your periphery Please just act like you don't see me Out here looking for a glimpse of shore A mirage of the life that we had before Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever Maybe it's for the best we pretend like we never met Forget everything that we've ever known Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever Strangers forever
My brother David Dillehey passed away from a O.D. And it’s was September 29th of 2020. I listen to this songs on that night because we knew so much about each other, but he was such a hard working fella that I didn’t mind. He did everything for everyone; and he had so much pain and sadness hidden along with his addition, but he never let it fully consume him. My families heart and soul were crushed because we had something beautiful not last long. But alas he touched all our lives and he lives on through the Indiana Organ Donation center. My mother actually got a letter from a man that revived one of his kidneys and we all were in joy. Because he still lives on, not just through that encounter; but everything he’s taught us. My brother David had so much darkness but he kept himself still. I don’t look only at his death; but his life 🖤
@@spicy_toilet_water RIP David, I'm sorry that you took your life, but words can not express how thankful your family and I are for saving someone else's
This is going to be the best Menzingers album yet. All three singles they’ve released are some of not only the best Menzingers songs I’ve ever heard, but just songs in general. These guys are the literal best.
Greg Barnett you have cut me to my core. The timing of this song is insane. As soon as the chorus hit I was sobbing. I can’t believe how this song completely captures my breakup, the circumstances, and the emotions.
You know that feeling you get when you hear a song and you're sure you've seen the band before, but you can't remember where, when, or with who? Here we are.
I dig this. Still Menzingers with a bit of growth or change..its written so well..I've loved every album for different reasons. Good is good even if it's a tad different!
Great Album Guys... CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU PERFORME LIVE AT TECHNIKUM MUNICH 1/31/20...😘 🌹 Love Marc from Germany... ❤️🎸... PS. And thanks for the Amazing Support Bands opening for you...
let's sing along !

You have easily become one of my favourite bands after I have stumbled upon by accident about a year ago Needed music to relate with in my late 20's and this is fitting perfectly!
“But if I come into your periphery, please just act like you don’t see me” hits Amman, cause you know doing that yourself sucks and to know that’s what they are doing as well just, goddamit
They just keep knocking them outta the park, love the old greaser vibe the songs have with keeping them super melodic, or as like to call them ..”head bobbers”
That music video was fantastic! Great work guys! Thanks for the inspiration, I always wanna write music after listening to you guys. If all the tracks on this record are half as good as the singles you've released, then this may be my favorite record of yours.
I got into you guys earlier this year, just stumbled across you by accident and I can't believe I hadn't really paid attention to you sooner. I'm in my early 40's but I still very much relate to your music. It reminds me of my past and songs like this hit home with me due to a recent life changing event. Just solid relatable lyrics all around.
This record is just seeming more and more amazing by every song they release. On a side note, I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this music video because its so well made. As an aspiring filmmaker, I just love the color palettes, cinematography, and the camera movements and pans. It's actually a video that's ok with staying on an image for more than 2 seconds without a bunch of annoying quick edits, and that is so commendable. Bravo!
All they ever do is create consistently amazing and perfect music that I can listen to on loop. Always a great reflection of progress without compromise and beautiful mood enducing themes that are relatable. Looking forward to another perfectly paced album with suprises great guitar work and passion. And that's just coming off of this single. I swear it's been a good year for rock. All of my favourite bands are lulling out gems whilst the world goes into disarray.
Every album is great for different reasons. Depends on my mood, but in every objective way I can think of they just get better and better with time. Truly amazing and underrated. They're as good as anything Jawbreaker or Social D. or even non political Clash ever penned down. I'm not talking crap about any of those just speaking to the fact that Menzingers trite songs with a similar level of songwriting.
the girl i liked and talked to for a year now says she want to meet after quarantine for a date. she wasnt even reading my texts for the past 3 days and i just been blocked for literally no reason out of the blue. this song is a fucking antidote to this shit
At 33 the Menzingers are impacting me the same as Blink-182 when I was 13.
Imagine being 33 and only finding out about menzingers. Must be a gai
proper angst por the still functional adult
Yessss 34 feel this 100%
Yeah dude
It's pretty good way of putting it. The Menzingers is Blink-182 for 30 year olds.
aging like fine wine, gentlemen. I cannot wait for this new album!
a fine wine bottles in the 00s haha
Just found em last year, now it’s my shit, they just get better and better as each album comes out
The Menzingers are way better than an overused cliche, but yeah, got you, dude.
@@Toad_Moto fuck off Toad

I mean, he's not wrong.
Plus, fuck wine. Drink vodka.
The Menzingers are one of those bands that instantly put me in a great mood. Their lyrics are real, the music is upbeat and it just makes me feel alive.
Spot on my friend . And they have consistently wrote good music , this entire time .
It’s a nostalgia and theme that most millennial Americans can relate to hard
@@devdecker7812 Very true!
I guess. I mean this song does have a fast pace up beat energy but the lyrics and the song itself is depressing as hell.
They have that beautiful punk energy with amazing lyrics, musicianship, and talent. Will forever be one of my top bands. I love the way their music makes me feel at 35. Especially after growing up in the NY and Boston punk/hardcore scene
You know you've made it when you have an underwater music video
This is more true the more I think about it.
let alone an underwater 4k video
Shut your face. Yea...just shut your face.
I've listened to this song 10 times in a row now and I've come to the conclusion it's not long enough. These guys really know how to tickle my taint.
Right on
I agree.
I listened to it one day like 20 times until "I finished the housework" , hence why it was 20 not ten hahah
For real, this song does NOT feel 3 minutes long. It's like it's over as soon as it starts.
Greg's voice at parts is like Roy Orbison gone (very) electric.
Greg Barnett is simply one of the most gifted songwriters of his generation.
Notice how, whenever the "she stranger" is in frame, the lighting gets brighter, and the colors get more vibrant, but, whenever he is in frame, the colors become more muted, and the lighting darkens and gets a colder, blue overtone.
I do now.
How do I already know I'm going to listen to this album on repeat for a solid month?
Did you do it??
actually been listening so far
U already did bro is like ur food u eating everyday
My inner monologue is writing
S.O.S on deserted islands
And there's no one out there to read the signs
Just distant oceans and great blue skies
But my miserable memory is making me more miserable
My mundane mind is waiting on some kind of miracle
Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
Maybe it's for the best we pretend like we never met
Forget everything that we've ever known
Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Well I built a raft out of total desperation
And I got kidnapped by a pirate nation
Now somewhere out there I ramble and roar
You wouldn't recognize me anymore
But if I come into your periphery
Please just act like you don't see me
Out here looking for a glimpse of shore
A mirage of the life that we had before
Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
Maybe it's for the best we pretend like we never met
Forget everything that we've ever known
Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
These lyrics hit right square in the ball sack

There's still gonna be a slew of guys saying "This band is dead. Chamberlain Waits/On the Impossible Past is still the best" lol
ch-ris127 lol fuck em, more for us
Greg Barnett you have cut me to my core. The timing of this song is insane. As soon as the chorus hit I was sobbing. I can’t believe how this song completely captures my breakup, the circumstances, and the emotions.
completely ended everything with my ex today. Quoted this song when I told her I was done.
@@andrew9868 i did the same and the couple times shes tried talking to me since i just tell her "Strangers forever". Works like a charm
This band is awesome, I love his voice. These guys always put me in a good mood.
It had to be The Menzingers to come out with the best antidote for the depression caused by After The Party video.
IKR
Favorite song 🤘🏻👽
Parts of this song give me strong The Cure vibes
THESE GUYS REALLY KNOW HOW TO PUT ON A BADASS SHOW!! SAW THEM YESTERDAY AND I'M STILL IN AWE!! LOVE LOVE THEM SOOO MUCH!!! ❤
I saw them in 2018 in Germany. It was a blast.
That's what's up
Hadn’t listened to this one in a minute and it popped up in a playlist at the perfect time. Thanks menzos.
Life gets hard sometimes and then The Menzingers come out with a new album and things make sense again
Love you guys so much! Especially the "screaming" Parts. Looking forward to your new album :-) Greets from Germany
:-) Greets from Sénégal (West Africa)
This screaming "maybe" makes me goosebumps!!! F...ing love The Menzingers! Greets from Austria
Here for the record. 🙌 Floored by this album. 💯
Loving the bouncing stereo guitar effect. Menzingers and Will Yip bring the best out of each other. Can't wait for Hello Exile!
Brilliant song.. made the mistake of listening to the From Exile version and now picking up pieces of my heart.
The lyrics are so genuine. Love you guys from Argentina 💙
This is one of the only bands that has the perfect balance of great songs and great videos.
You know that feeling you get when you hear a song and you're sure you've seen the band before, but you can't remember where, when, or with who? Here we are.
Man, the new songs sound great! I can't wait for the album.
Keep it up fellas! You bring me back to my youth in Omaha Styleeeee! Thank you😂❤❤❤
This song saved my life .
The best and most underrated rock band in the world ATM
Amen to that.
facts! this ^
I dig this. Still Menzingers with a bit of growth or change..its written so well..I've loved every album for different reasons. Good is good even if it's a tad different!
Seeing them tomorrow (11/9) in SF, can't wait to hear this song live!
Great Album Guys... CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU PERFORME LIVE AT TECHNIKUM MUNICH 1/31/20...😘 🌹 Love Marc from Germany... ❤️🎸... PS. And thanks for the Amazing Support Bands opening for you...
I am a simple man. I see a Menzingers Video, I click and like.
It’s intense how good this song is production and all!
I don't really watch music videos anymore but I will for The Menzingers.
Damn. This is a beautifully shot video. The colors. The composition.
This is the new Menzingers song I've been waiting for
let's sing along !
My inner monologue is writin'
"SOS" on deserted Islands
And there's no one out there to read the signs
Just distant oceans and great blue skies
But my miserable memory is makin' me more miserable
My mundane mind is waitin' on some kind of miracle (Oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
Maybe it's for the best we pretend like we never met
Forget everything that we've ever known
Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
[Post-Chorus]
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
Strangers forever
[Verse 2]
Well, I built a raft out of total desperation
And I got kidnapped by a pirate nation
Now somewhere out there, I ramble and roar
You wouldn't recognize me anymore
But if I come into your periphery
Please just act like you don't see me
Out here looking for a glimpse of shore
A mirage of the life that we had before
Not sure how you continually put out great music. Thanks for being awesome!
You have easily become one of my favourite bands after I have stumbled upon by accident about a year ago
Needed music to relate with in my late 20's and this is fitting perfectly!
The guitars!!! 😭😭😭
Jesus, these lyrics hit in the fuggin’ heart...
“But if I come into your periphery, please just act like you don’t see me” hits Amman, cause you know doing that yourself sucks and to know that’s what they are doing as well just, goddamit
Wow this is a JAMMMMMMMM
Miserable memory is making me more miserable...
God... dammit...
That hit deep.
They just keep knocking them outta the park, love the old greaser vibe the songs have with keeping them super melodic, or as like to call them ..”head bobbers”
First song I've ever heard of these guys, I'm in love
Check out Chamberlain Waits, great album.
@@ILVeNoFx listening to it rn, it's very good indeed. Thanks a lot 👍
Now that I've watched this video damn near 100 times, I can say that there is no better band at matching the feel of the song with a music video
Annnnnd new favorite menzingers song lol thanks guys.
You guys are hands down the best in the biz. The writing is so good.
Can't believe I found this band 5 years ago via a you'tube reccomend lol ta very much ♥️
After the party was the anthem of my ex and I, now this is the post relationship anthem... fuck I need to see you guys live.
That music video was fantastic! Great work guys! Thanks for the inspiration, I always wanna write music after listening to you guys. If all the tracks on this record are half as good as the singles you've released, then this may be my favorite record of yours.

I forgive you. Goodbye forever.
Random__itch yes!

This song is all of the feels. The lyrics hit me. 💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️
Just discovered this band, and wow what a fucking banger of a rock song this is jesus
One of my favourites
Your records just get better and better with every release. It's quite remarkable really.
Another great song!! Can’t wait to see y’all in a couple months! 😁🤘
Wow this album could easily be their best yet !!!! Album of the Year is looking very likely after this
Can't wait to see you on Boston!
This record is just seeming more and more amazing by every song they release. On a side note, I have to say that I absolutely LOVE this music video because its so well made.

Just now hearing of these guys, hooked! Great song
These guys have to be playing this live
This and freaking me out back to back could be the whole show
New album you say? More like new hitbox from Menzingers.
This song has just hit me like a ton of bricks 😪😪😪

What other rock bands have you enjoyed listening to this year?
@@greekboy021 killswitch engage, Blink 182, @ many others
Dammit Greg, what did that guitar ever do to you? I would have given it a good home 😢
Don't ever change, looking forward to the new album!
These band and their music is so spesial for me ❤️
Even more excited now for the album
After the party took a long time to grow on me but I have revisited it and I get it now.
This is even better than the first 2 singles which were both completely awesome
Holy shit. The cinematography is amazing!
The Menzingers never disappoint.
Greg can always make me happy. Secret crush for sure.
New favorite song. Chills. Ghostly chills. Hello Exile come faster!
Freaking excited for all the new music!
Always perfect. Thanks Menzingers
Amazing song.
You guys just keep getting better and better. Thank you
Like a fine wine?
The Menzingers in October exactly what the doctor ordered, сan’t wait to new album
This band is so good
Outstanding
Holly shit i was like it would be cool if they fell in the water with instruments the menzingers never fail to make good stuff!
Color suits? Who are you? The Maine? Love It. It's right a some season In my life :( can't wait for HEx
Love the color grading on this thing
it's really quiet laughable at this point just how good they are at creating songs
I wish my band was 10% as good as this band...smh Love these guys!
Joey Woodpieces you guys suck that much? 10% is pretty low
Another amazing tune
Every album is great for different reasons. Depends on my mood, but in every objective way I can think of they just get better and better with time. Truly amazing and underrated. They're as good as anything Jawbreaker or Social D. or even non political Clash ever penned down. I'm not talking crap about any of those just speaking to the fact that Menzingers trite songs with a similar level of songwriting.
Definitely my favorite track of the three
Okay but that transition at 2:13 did not have to go that hard
เจ๋งนะ เยี่ยมเลย
the girl i liked and talked to for a year now says she want to meet after quarantine for a date. she wasnt even reading my texts for the past 3 days and i just been blocked for literally no reason out of the blue. this song is a fucking antidote to this shit
This is totally my new best song!
