We tied ourselves to a mast on fire Drunk on faith and in denial Intentions pure of heart and of mind I played God with your fragile heart You watched my eyes as they lost their spark Drifting rudderless and lost within the fire…… Trying to sail but burning. I get it. Deeply. Pretending there was something left to try…… numbness accompanied with indifference and heart in guts. This is gorgeous. Thank you for your art and your beautiful spark. Your vulnerability is precious. ❤️🔥
Why was I not aware of this song already. Thanks, Billy Howerdel, for shaping the good times in life. I missed your concert in Seattle for the ashes divide. I got lost finding the joint.. I saw you in a perfect circle and had a blast. God speed
Hey man just wanted to let you know you are major inspiration to me for guitar and song writing in general, I really resonate with your style and think you deserve more credit, keep making music man it’s so good
This whole album is an instant classic, a masterstroke of New Wave & dark synth, the lyrics insightful & well thought. Billy's voice is so perfect for this 80's inspired brilliance, his guitar work genius as usual & yet this album is as modern in my eyes as ever. As in the 1980s, we live in a cold, materialist age of narcissism and lack of authenticity flavoured Zeitgeist, disconnected through tech and our own Brave New World desires. Human nature doesn't change and Societies are mere glacial pace circles, slowly revolving back to their earlier points, mutated ever slightly, recursive. This and 'The Tipping Point' album by Tears for Fears definitely right up there on my songlist. Kalandra's awesome 'The Line' album is probably my third favourite new-ish album I just can't get enough of these. These three albums regularly play in the background as I work on my art. + Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson's 'The Future Bites' album a close 4th.
Dear Billy, I don’t know if you’ll read this but I wanted you to know that your music is so relatable that it hit in guts so hard. You’re an amazing human being and you can articulate what many of us struggle with. Thank you
Billy, some things you love, you fall out of love with. Not this. Nine months later this whole album is still in regular rotation for me. Thanks again for your contribution to my life’s soundtrack.
Just discovered this album a few days ago from being on a Perfect Circle kick. Fantastic! My wife loves it too - we picked up immediately on the parallels to Depeche Mode and new wave. She puts it at like 1985-86 (but with modern tech) which was when 80s pop was turning to crap, but a few good groups were still kicking ass. Billy and his pals are one of those groups, just plucked out of time and deposited here for us to enjoy.
I see a lot of DM references (yes that sound is SO there) but I am also getting a lot of The Cure vibes too. It's like Dave Gahan and Robert Smith had a child...and that would be Billy Howerdel! ♥
Every drop of this album, every single aspect, every song, each video that drops...it's all just so damn good. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
second verse always made me a goosebumps also i don't know why but i always shed a tear or two when listening to this...i think it's some kind of audio hypnosis
I think this should be a part of Ashes Divide. Ashes Divide has a album called Keep Telling Myself It's Alright, it is the only album, out of the bands that i know of that i could listen too all the way through without skipping songs. Which came out in 2008 by the way.
It’s cause honestly, Billy got it right with this album. It’s a perfect combination of that old nostalgic sound spiced up with a modern vibe. The production, the arrangements, the mix, interesting details like the sound on some drums snares and other things just makes this album one of those masterpieces that you have to digest over and over. Anyway, congrats to Billy, Danny, Josh, and everyone involved ! Good job!
One of the best albums of 2022. Between you, Ghost, Machine Head, Tears for Fears... It really shaped up to be a killer year. Thank you for this, and here's hoping more is on the way.
Just want to comment that this is an amazing song off an amazing album! Sad we didn’t get to see much of this live on tour. Can’t wait for a follow up hopefully at some point!!
You know what's really funny...Months ago when this album dropped there was little fanfare. Throw a video in and all the sudden everyone is a Billy fan. Did the message really get by? This is a masterpiece for so many reasons. Billy went back to a totally different place..time..perspective, and brought a message of today in a medium long past. 👍👊
Coming back to this song and relating to it now? Fuck, it hurts, but that's the important part - to feel this stuff and then express it. Thanks for the opportunity Billy 💜
Billy really found his voice on this album.
Fucking Legend.
Damn right
Fantastic song
My favorite line is "You watched my eyes as they lost their spark". Vividly heartbreaking and relatable
Yes!
He should be opening for Depeche Mode next year 🙏 It would be quite a match!
☝️I second this!
Would be great to see BH open for DM and Tool!
@@76NOSAJ And APC right 😅
And Puscifer
@@76NOSAJ He did. Though his new album is much better than what Puscifer recorded.
Wow. This is really fucking good.
NEW WAVE is not dead!!! 🙏
Thank you❣
I love this song! 🤘🏻👽🎶🎵
The whole album is a joy. It feels like a lost 80s classic
We tied ourselves to a mast on fire
Drunk on faith and in denial
Intentions pure of heart and of mind
I played God with your fragile heart
You watched my eyes as they lost their spark
Drifting rudderless and lost within the fire……
Trying to sail but burning. I get it. Deeply. Pretending there was something left to try…… numbness accompanied with indifference and heart in guts.
This is gorgeous. Thank you for your art and your beautiful spark. Your vulnerability is precious. ❤️🔥
I've always felt Billy as other worldy. I love this.
You’re the coolest Billy!

Excellent. Gives me vibes of Depeche Mode with an 80’s flavor and nice hard edge. My kind of song!
Thought exactly the same!
Hey man just wanted to let you know you are major inspiration to me for guitar and song writing in general, I really resonate with your style and think you deserve more credit, keep making music man it’s so good
My favourite song from Billy so far. Has the right amount of influences and original at the same time.
Just his solo stuff, or counting ashes divide?
@@jayhovah5621 Great question. Counting Ashes Divide.
This is fantastic! If you read this, Billy, huge fan of yours! Thank you so much for this album!
Cannot tell you how many times I've listened to this song this year. 🙌
Cannot tell you how many times ive listened to this song TODAY lmao
I've listened to this album at least once a day
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 you can tell this is from the heart man
Hands down best song on this new album. Whole album is amazing but this song is just too good.

This has been my favorite album I've purchased this year.
Strange but cool. Thank you Billy.
Love his voice ❤❤
Probably my favorite composition of 2022. Thank you, BH!
Me and my family, especially my mom, LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC!!!! Beautiful song my man
Woah!! Frick yeah!! my Goosebumps have BumpGooses!!!
This has got to be my most listened to song of the last year!!!
Dear Billy, I don’t know if you’ll read this but I wanted you to know that your music is so relatable that it hit in guts so hard. You’re an amazing human being and you can articulate what many of us struggle with. Thank you
First time I heard this album I thought Kristoffer Rygg was singing. Still amazes me how Billy also has a nice voice.
Love! Such an honour to be in this!
You need to update your IMDB page with this. Also nice work 👍
A very, very wonderful album. All tracks shimmer with a unique sensitive harmony.✌️✌️🤜🤛
Hauntingly Beautiful very ethereal sound. Tour soon (again). Great sound and singing,
This deserves way more recognition
I can close my eyes and just vibe. I love this!!!
WOW THATS FIRE
Billy has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. His music never disappoints 🥺🖤 the whole album is on repeat!!!!!! Thank you for existing 😘
Wow
Crushing hard on this entire album!
Great solo album! You can feel the spirit of the 80s here!
I listened to this song like thousand times. It reminds me of good memories. Thanks for creating arts.
Billy, some things you love, you fall out of love with. Not this. Nine months later this whole album is still in regular rotation for me. Thanks again for your contribution to my life’s soundtrack.
Loved this. Greetings from Brazil. ❤

Addicted! I listen to this several times a day while I work. It's on my favorites. ❤
The layers, the steady groove, the masterful melodies, just great art. I’ve never heard this before. I’ll be checking it out now. Thanks
I only wish you have enough fire for the sophomore long play. Waiting for the vinyl. Great work Billy
I see a lot of DM references (yes that sound is SO there) but I am also getting a lot of The Cure vibes too. It's like Dave Gahan and Robert Smith had a child...and that would be Billy Howerdel! ♥
And have been nonstop playing this album on repeat for weeks now!
This song is so fucking badass.

I would love to work with Billy, truly a hidden gem of talent.
Billy is Amazing! I’m adding this to my playlist 👍🏼❤️
Hermoso tema
HUGE fan of the album, Ani is my favorite track. I’ve seen you with A Perfect Circle in 2018, would love to watch a solo performance
Another Gem Billy!
Masterpiece that's incredible, I ve just discovered it right now! Congrats from France.
Love love love this song.. speaks so true to my recent break up .... Shows how universal these things are .

Oh... I didn't follow Billy's solo pieces and now I'm curious what he has created so far. Nice one!

The style is perfect for Billy's music. Something haunting and heartbroken overall.
Yeeessss
So good. Can't stop listening
Qué maravilla de canción

This is so good! Love the sound!
That was jaw-dropping. I'm going to have this on repeat for quite a while. It's just what I need. Now I need to learn the lyrics. Bravo!
As the moment passes by watching this video, I wait until the stars fall from the sky for us to be the same again...
😉
Powerful. Goddamn your voice gives me goosebumps. Loved your show here in St.Louis "Missourah"
The vocals kinda but me in a trance
