Now, given my 61 years, I thought I had no more surprises in terms of music but this group is fantastic ......... it resonates inside me
Same for me at 57
At 68 i am often amazed at the incredible music i stumble across as i did with this group. Poetry set to music. Absolutely wonderful.
I'm only 44, my opinion is irrelevant !
nice!
I'm 33 and now respect meaningful lyrics more than the generic beats that I bounced too when I was younger, such a beautiful song
So beautiful I'm afraid to put the CD in my car.....afraid I'll close my eyes, tears running down my face. Love, love love. I'm soon to be 78.
Denk genau so
I am 65. I found this group and was stunned. I just love their music. Age isn't a barrier for amazing music.
Same here I am 66 cool sounds
50 old...
Your Chris is perfect
Yep 65 here
Andy is a gift to us
The most under-recognized musical genius of our time.
I feel like no matter how much music this band puts out, the sheer emotion they put in matched only by their efforts is never going to get old and they always manage to captivate. I just seem to love this band more and more with each song they release
Discovered Andy when I was a depressed 12 year old. I'm a 21 year old man now and I've carried him with me all this way. Will always be my favorite artist
Dustin Alexander You get into the RAGC trilogy? it's the best work of art, period. Andy's raw emotion.
Joe Barton I second this
I want to make RAGC into a stage performance/ (musical for want of a better word)....I've been wittering about this for years. Made slide in a couple of MO songs here and there for perfection.
Literally same story, except I'm a girl (or should I say a 21 years-old woman...)
Manchester Orchestra is my savior. I'm bringing their albums with me when I die.
Same story here as well! MO has touched a lot of hearts and, I would guess, existential crises.
Seriously... I, just by absolute chance stumbled across "The Silence" this afternoon. I had never heard of you guys before, nor any of your creations. Its like your music hits a spot that is rarely touched even by music that's attached to memories from the past.
This stuff is special. As weak as that sounds, I'm sorry I wish I could explain much better but that's all I can offer, I'm speechless. Thank you
I have the same experience, with The Silence comes on recommendation, and the name of the band makes me want to listen, because I also love classical music.
You are not alone
I'm totally with you ..know how to speak was my stumble and now I'm running with you and them but running out of time . Love peace and music x
“The Silence” video on my home theatre with 100” screen and nice speakers. Speechless...
Second time I came across this message. I could not agree with you more. I asked a colleague in work to recommend some new music and he suggested TMO.
Well OMG I am overwhelmed.This is powerful and very moving for me.
I know I'm not alone feeling this.
J
I’m 56 and from Atlanta, just found these guys and don’t understand why every time this song ends I am in tears.
57 and also
Don't be sad just put it on again!
Manchester Orchestra has been my emotional support band through some of the hardest times in my life. I hope they know how much they mean to some of us. They kept me alive.
The same here. They were with me in my worst moments! 🙏🏼
this is the type of song you feel like you've known since childhood. so fucking good.
I can’t remember the last time a band has affected me so deeply. I’ve just discovered them. My soul feels like it has been healed. Thank you!
Exactly!!!!
Same with me bro
So have I - great band. The lead singer reminds me of Passengers lead singer in this song.
I get this. To the core. They bring tears and a contentment I can not describe ♥️
Check band Half moon run, u wouldn't be sorry to call them your favorite.
Damn the older i get and start to realize alot of wrong in my life that had happened ..... The more i understand Andy's words . their music always temporarily heals my wounds. Their songs are timeless
this is better than it needed to be
isaac poole he just means it's really good
Thanks Alex
I laughed pretty hard at this lmao thanks buddy
Agreed. They just blow my mind.
Love you. To say what you. Mean it’s hard to find word alison
my dad always played Manchester Orchestra when i was a little girl, and when i stumbled across you again now, i started crying. you guys... it's like finding peace of mind in my memories. Thank you.
Me to
Their songs just don’t get old. So multilayered. So sad and so beautiful.
There are so many moments on this album and on Million Masks of God that give me chills.
Felt the same when I first heard the album spilt milk made by jellyfish
Oh, man.
It wasn't until the last few frames and lyrics came up that everything hit me.
My mom isn't here anymore.
And the emotions the character is feeling in this film are exactly what I'm feeling: I wish for the old times and the good memories.
Although it is sad, I feel good about crying.
A tragedy happened to me recently and listening to this song and watching the video...made me re-run the event backwards and....I dunno... I think I accepted the emotions that I felt and somehow it helped
Nous sommes beaucoup à passer un certain âge et trouver dans vos mélodies la paix la sérénité par la sonorité et vos chansons sont magnifiques d'émotion..
Manchester Orchestra makes me want to cry, be with my loved ones & paint it all at once.
thank you.
Its an incredibly rare experience when you hear a song for the very first time and you think:"alright this is pretty good", and then a certain part of the song hits and its like a wave of pure peace mixed with sorrow crashing over you. This song gave me that feeling. Absolutely mesmerizing.
Indeed
Perfect description
Which part was it, that hit you?
Which part was it, that hit you?
I - much like others who have commented before me below - am in my sixties and I have only recently 'discovered' this amazing band in the last two weeks or so, their beautiful music, their thought provoking lyrics and their videos which take the viewer on a journey through life. This song and its lyrics and video tug and pull so very much on my emotional heart strings. This look back on the lives of the ones that we love so very much turns me into EMOTIONAL JELLO each and every time that I look at and listen to it - which is often. Thank you so very much for writing and recording this song. It is one which will I keep and treasure in my heart until I take my last breath in this life. I am truly and completely emotionally smitten! 🥰
How in the fuck can one band be this important to me?
I'm late to the party but I think I just found my new favorite band.
You beat me by a year!
I may be bias here, but A Black Mile To The Surface is the perfect album to discover Manchester Orchestra through. It was for me, anyway. I've been listening to nearly every song on it, since I first stumbled upon this band, every day, for the past six months.
@@WordUnheard i agree, i'm hoping in the last 9 months from when you commented this you've been able to branch out to their album simple math, a masterpiece but still falls just short from black mile in my opinion
@@WordUnheardbless u
Late is the new early, Boss.
This group suddenly just showed up in my recommendations. Never heard of them. Started listening. Wow.
Why does music like this have to be "alternative" and not mainstream. Incredible sound and talent!
When you REALLY listen to this song, I promise it will make you cry a little bit.
Manchester Orchestra is simply magical!
I just found you guys, it took me 40 years but I found you. Thank you.
Same. 37. :)
Me too 45 years for me gold
51 for me, they are just fantastic!
60 for me. Blown away!
44 here. But I found them at the exact time I needed them!
(Updated) LYRICS:
The lights were low enough, you guessed
You swapped your conscience with your father's medication
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
And on the way wrote out a self-made declaration
And when you got to Pleasant Hill
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
I made a pact with you and God
If you don't move, I swear to you I'm gonna make you
Do you need me?
Do you need me?
Do you need me?
Do you need me?
When the first officer arrived
It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
When you finally recognized
You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you
"Can you hear me? What's your name?"
You could not speak, just laid amazed at all the damage
As the high school's letting out
All the kids saying the same thing that they used to
It's an alien
It's an alien
It's an alien
It's an alien
The lights were low enough, you guessed
Hospital food, there's never enough medication
The doctor asked about your ears
You said your mom said you were made from a revelation
But revelation never scares
Your fear came from your drunken dad and a pair of scissors
Were you just finally letting go?
Did you mean to take out all those people with you?
Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
Didn't mean to
Oh, I didn't mean to
(Take the time to terrify the throne)
Oh, I didn't mean to
(You'll never let it go)
No, I didn't mean to
(Take the time to terrify the throne)
Oh, I didn't mean to
(They'll never let you go)
Time is here to take your last amendments
And believe them on your own
Time is here to take you by the hand
And lead you there alone
Time has come to take the last commandment
And to carve it in your stone
Time has come to take you by the hand
And leave you here alone
Brian Ayers - thank you sincerely
Wow!
Thanks with all my heart
You're welcome, with all of mine. It's a beautiful and powerful video, but the more I listen the more I feel the weight of the song in the same way. When MO gets it right, they REALLY get it right. Wow.
You're a little bit off with these. The proper lyrics are hard-subbed into the video if you turn on closed captioning:
The lights were low enough you guessed
You swapped your conscience with your father's medication
Limped from Rome to Lawrenceville
Along the way wrote out a self-made declaration
But when you got to Pleasant Hill
You forced the traffic to erase your family demons
And made a pact with you and God
If you don't move, I swear to you I'm gonna make ya
Do you need me?

It happened to be the high school bully of your brother
When you finally recognized
You felt some guilt that you had even let him touch you

And as the high school's lettin' out
All the kids are saying the same thing that they used to:
It's an alien
The lights were low enough you guessed
Hospital food, there's never enough medication
The doctor asks about your ears
He said your mom said you were made from a revelation

Didn't mean to

(they'll never let you go)
Time is here to take your last amendments and believe them on your own
Time is here to take you by the hand and lead you there alone
(but you won't ever know)
Time has come to take the last commandment and to carve it in your stone
Time has come to take you by the hand and leave you here alone
Just found this band with incredibly beautiful and painful songs. I'm not ashamed to say tears kept coming with this one.
Such a beautiful song. I came in via The Silence and began checking out all of their stuff, I have a new favourite band.
It's fucking amazing, what a surprise.
Right, I mean, I'm not religious at all but DAMN. These guys are INCREDIBLE.

The Silence started my Manchester Orchestra adventure and every day I discover and love more and more of this band's gems. Feel my love all the way from the +254❤️🚀

Me too! Didn’t think the Silence could not be topped but I’ve been proven wrong over and over!
That melody....I haven't heard something so beautiful in so long.
This literally brought me to tears. I was moved. Andy's voice stirs feelings inside of my soul in a way other music could never attempt. Thank you for your Gift.
As I sit here trying to type this, I am fighting back tears. I have just watched this. Today is 20th January, 2021. A year ago on Friday (January 22nd, 2020), I lost the love of my life. He was called James. I miss him terribly. Words cannot express the pain I am experiencing still, 1 year on. He went in the most cruellest painful of ways.
RIP my brother in arms. I will never ever forget you. 💔
Sorry for your loss brother. This song played at my buddy’s funeral a few years ago. Things will get easier, I promise
@@tomgeorge7373 Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Sorry for your loss too. Sometimes I am fine and then other times I just feel a massive void because he's gone. I'm sure you feel that with people you've lost too man. x
Im so sorry for your lost. Hope you get the life you deserve to live, you need to be happy. You will be, im sure of that.
This hole in your heart might never close cause you will always miss him. Maybe you can learn to treasure this hole and the pain. Grief is love in the end and this love between you guys is endlessly precious.
So sorry for your loss 🥺 sounds like there is much pain in your soul
bloody hell where have i been, cant believe my ears FANTASTIC
Finally. This video has reached over a million. It deserves so many more views, but it's a start.
Their cinematography adds such an amazing level to their story telling. Almost always gets a tear out of me.
This took me on a rollercoaster of emotion I thought I almost couldn't handle. Hope to see you guys live one day.
Got the chance to see them live right after Cope came out, I cant even put into words, the experience of seeing them live. It's like a religious/spiritual experience.
When it hits you know, there is something beyond words with this band, thank you to MO.
How have I only discovered your music in 2020..
You have a lot of catching up to do. All of the Manchester discography. Oh yeah. Andy sings in 2 other bands as well. Lol. "Bad books" and "Right Away Great Captain." Clear your schedule. Haha
Same story here. How amazing is this music. The Silence is a real masterpiece.
I'm in the same boat. I'm just amazed that I've only just discovered them
cos radio stations play shit..if this was 80s would have been on radio
Dang where you been?!
I'm too pregnant for this song and video. Can't listen without bawling. So good.
Congratulations he/she must be here now!
@@Droningonuk Thank you! Yes, he's 5 months old now. And thank you for the reminder to listen to this now that I'm not pregnant. 😊
@@idepartasair congrats enjoy
OMG his voice..., this song. gives me chills!!😍
Wow. Just wow. Such a vulnerable voice. I have only recently found Manchester orchestra, but somehow their music brings back memories. Just amazing. My new favourite band.
There's so many "I wish I done this instead of..." moments. Andy, I've been a fan my whole life and you always capture the souls torment. I'm amazed and very happy that your albums are getting better and better, how you top awesome is beyond me, yet you always do. Have my fan girl status inked onto my arm, now matching with my daughter. So kudos, stay real and shine ❤️
Wow, wow and wow. Had a major dramatic experience with my father last night. He threatened to kill my mother infront of me whilst he was drunk. And now TH-cam recommends me this song. Honestly brought me to tears.
My childhood was full of domestic violence, carried the weight all my life. But recently I been able to go to specific parts with my inner child guiding me, I was able to cut the chains that kept the little me stuck, little me kept showing up till one night I said let’s do this.. heartbreaking and terrifying, I was shaking. Now the wound has been released, it’s in the open and healing. Don’t forget to always use your imagination, it was given to us as a gift when we were little kids for a reason, it’s hard cuz our parents cut our wings. But dig deeper you will find it again. Sending much love to you 🥺♥️
It's obviously wrong of him to say that to your mother, and my heart goes out to her. But just think maybe, maybe he's a broken man. I've gone through this with my parents too, it is absolutely devastating to witness especially as a child and makes you feel so helpless. But now I'm older I realise he needs healing in his heart and soul. I know this might not be helpful except to think that maybe he's not a bad person, but a damaged one 😥💔
@@BuckleMyShoeKnockAtTheDoor he is a being in a body with horrible attachments
Hes just doing God's plan
Not my life, but it's yours; late advice, two years late... Get her away from him. If he's managed to change since? I never spoke. Happy life/Tragedy. We all choose, even if we are frightened of the choice. Choose well and good luck.
I've loved this band since I was like 22 ... 11 years later. Still up there in my top 5. Thanks Andy :) I still got that one pic with u and your bleedy fingers of how much you rocked that concert that night.
I have no words to describe how much I love this song.

This is probably one of the best songs I've ever heard.
I came across Manchester Orchestra by chance and can't get them out of my mind, ears an heart. Who is this man writing songs that touch the deepest part of your soul? Didn't mean to weep but I had to.
I want to cry this world is so cruel from alison 3:01
Their music is pure poetry and even so this video. I love the feeling I get when I listen to them.
Thank you Spotify for making me discovery such a gem
A song with many layers, a masterpiece I may call it.
By chance, I also found "The Silence" days ago. I had never heard of you guys before, or any of your music. I fell in love with the band and the songs. Congratulations and thanks for the songs.
Estou descobrindo esta banda hoje. E tem este vídeo há 6 anos. Como não descobri antes. Em meios as lágrimas fico aqui ouvindo todas suas músicas que tocam minha alma.
I really and sincerely believe that - in my very own humble opinion - this is perhaps one of the most emotionally touching 'look back' and nostalgic songs ever written, performed and enhanced by its accompanying video. It is like looking in on our very own early childhood years as they unfold right before our very eyes - while the memory driven tears come streaming down our cheeks. We were too young to comprehend much of what was happening in our young and naive lives back then. And to this very day, many of the unanswered and perhaps unanswerable questions still begin and end with the word 'Why?'. And sadly we may never know the answers because life and human behavior are like mysterious riddles all wrapped up and concealed in and by enigmas. 😞 😔 😟
wow thank you!!!
Bravo precisely described
Looking back is so sad I hope now kids don’t have to endure what I went through but y will it goes on all over the world love youalison❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
The human brain is mor dangerous than nuclear bombs it is capable of anything from alison 5:36
this song and I do not understand all words makes me so smiling during having tears
The orchestra is known to few and loved by many.
There's so many great bands to be discovered on youtube and this is defiantly one of them.
Two amazing stories. One is told by the lyrics, The other is told by the video clip.
PERFECTION.
This song is so addicting. I haven't been able to resist listening to it at least twice a day, since I first heard it back in July of last year. I'm new to this band, and although I've listened to and liked their previous albums, A Black Mile To The Surface is such an amazing album, with songs that beg to be played, again and again. It's such a departure from their earlier albums (I mean that in the nicest and respectful way possible), and I hope their next album sounds similar to this. This album + I Know How To Speak...easily in my top five most loved albums of all time. I'm 42, and I have listened to a LOT of music, but there is something so extraordinary about this album, Andy Hull's voice, and the entire band as a whole.
Crazy to think I've been listening to the "usual". These guys are great!
This song/album became my soundtrack to rising from the greatest depths of my life. Thank you guys so much for being my favorite band all these years.
It feels like this song was written just for Us 😭
сто раз прослушиваю ваши произведения и не устаю удивляться, как тонко вы умеете передать чувства волнующие всех.Я ещё не перевела текст этой песни но уже уловила смысл для этого не нужно перевода.Мне очень нравится ваше творчество, успехов вам! И хотя мы живём в разных уголках света мы все одинаковые и проблемы нас мучают похожие, такие же.Каждый знает,что жизнь прожить не поле перейти.Всё бывает в этой жизни и плохое, и хорошее.Но все хотят быть нужными и необходимыми и это так важно когда ты нужен.Спасибо
Idk if you'll be able to translate this, but that's incredible that you can tell the beautiful meaning of this song without understanding a word
This takes me to a place inside my soul... where it is the last map to a place otherwise forgotten.
Thank you, Manchester Orchestra. Your videos are always filled with so much wonderful aesthetics and love and feeling, and your music, oh my god. Your music is so emotional and Andy's voice is so powerful and Robert, Prince and Tim are KILLING IT, I wonder if you guys will ever do a purely instrumental album??? Your delivery with each lyric. strum of a chord or beat of a drum is so heartbreaking and amazing in this song (and many of MO's other songs) , I honestly cannot get enough of you guys. Also shout out to the director! Mike's eye for storytelling in each of his videos is so inspiring. Please keep up all the astounding work you guys are doing. Been a fan for 7+ years and i will continue support you as a fan for as long as you walk the earth. Thank you guys again.
Oh the puns....
What puns??
I thought I was replying to Morgan Clair, in reference to the track The Gold. Oops.
I heard this on the radio this weekend and I was excited when I saw it was Manchester Orchestra!!! I love this band!!! Glad they have more stuff out.
My background is punk rock - not exactly Manchester Orchestra but have found them by fate. I've also found the love of my life and recommended them to her. We now have tickets for Manchester - can't wait. J
"...a story about family and all of the ups and downs that come along with it."
"...even though the song is sad, I feel it is somewhat fitting to our parent’s struggle of letting us go...(Andy Hull)."
Yup, "The Alien" evokes that message, in a very powerful way.
Guys I stumbled upon *THE SILENCE* song, it was so spot on that I listened to it for more than a week and today I thought to explore your other song....
Here this ...oh my my beautiful song
Also I KNOW HOW TO SPEAK....😍
Thanx for such a sensitive lyrics.
!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!
I was not ready for this music video 😭
Me neither..I didn't know what to expect
So much fantastic music coming out ..... These guys are without a doubt probably the most talented group of artists in probably a goddamn generation... Between Manchester orchestra, lord Huron, and Kaleo.... And people say there isn't good music anymore... Insane
It is truly amazing. The reverse sequences just jump into my heart.
HOW AM I JUST NOW DISCOVERING THIS BAND????
It doesn't matter WHEN you discovered Manchester Orchestra. All that matters is that you found them. I just discovered them eight months ago, thanks to The Maze being in the trailer for Leave No Trace. I've been listening to their album A Black Mile To The Surface nearly every day since. Also, the song I Know How To Speak, which they released a few months ago, is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
I found this band at a moment in my life when I needed them the most.
This song, together with "The Moth" from the same album are all one needs to fall in love with this band
I discovered your band about 3 months ago and I just can't get enough. It sings to my soul. When I am out bike riding the empty streets at night or just sitting in my room reading a book, It lifts my heart, moves my spirit and encourages my mind to fly higher than before. Thank You.
My best friend just died yesterday this song came on this morning on youtube crying as i type this snot coming down my nose this is a great song so much meaning wish he could here it 😭😭😭
I'm sorry for your loss. Stay strong for him, ok?
Hope you're managing through your loss Steve...same process for me too 2 yrs💙
Took me to get to 2021 for this gift...
I didn’t had such emotions for few years already. This is something
Every once in awhile you stumble onto something and wonder how it didn't end up plastered all over the airwaves it's that good. This is one of those for me. Maybe it's just too good for radio.
I'm so happy to find this band. Jeez, they're so good.
I lost my daughter a week ago to the worst scourge that ever existed...alcoholism. There is no cure, only love, and support from AA, and the hope that they can fight the compulsion to drink. I hate this song, it reminds me of her, and I'm running out of tears to cry.
Sending my love. I am bereaved too. It's coming up a year on Friday 22nd January. xxxxx
All I can say is wow. Great song writing, spectacular vocals, mesmerizing music video. Thank you Manchester orchestra ❤
i’ve been listening to your guys’ stuff since i was little. my dad was always playing your music. It’s a core memory. Thank you.
Where are my headphones, I need to catch up with this great music. No interruptions allowed.
My childhood was broken. This song makes me cry.
burdens a child should never have to carry
Same here
My childhood was broken too lwish l could be free love all of you Alison crazy artist
As I was driving with my husband, a driver next to us was playing this song. We liked the way it sound. We had enough time to tag this song at the red light to find out who the band was. This song has stuck with us since then.
Seriously brilliant... Just Brilliant
The best male voice ever¡¡¡¡
Heard this song and this album at a pretty pivotal moment in my life last year, I'm certain it will stick with me forever as one of my favorites, if not my favorite album ever
Some people clearly need to have a hearing check, how could anybody give such a beautiful song a thumbs down!!
friends of mine had to let their little daughter go through cancer, the pain never goes away, but life goes on, the beautiful memories must not fade.
I love college radio. I heard this song on our local college radio station, and I am so in love with this group now. I've had this happen with other bands that aren't on the mainstream but so fucking talented. Listen to your college radio, you never know what gems you will find.
I love all the songs you make they just make me feel calm and in another world. Thank you guys!! ❤
Every time that I am 'brave' enough to select this song to listen to - which is quite often - the tears just come streaming down my cheeks. I am in my mid-sixties and the memories and emotions that this song and video evoke within me are just so strong and heartfelt because of the way that events spanning my entire lifetime have unfolded. The band's performance of this song and the touching manner in which the vocals are presented just wash over me like a Tidal Wave of Emotions. This song 'Alien', another one 'I know How To Speak' and 'The Silence' all represent three lovely and amazing performances that I have only relatively recently come to know in the world of music. And I came to know of this band Manchester Orchestra because someone mentioned them in the comments section of another song by someone else I had listened to. You guys are THE ABSOLUTE BEST! Thank You so very much for being out there. You are truly amazing!
Magical song.
It's not enough that a group of musicians this talented can form and hit their stride at such a young age (when the mind is still developing and creativity is ever expanding outward).
I think we'll continue to see these guys rise for many years to come.
