MY MOM TOLD ME, APPARENTLY, IN 2003 - THIS GIRL PERFORMED WITH HER BAND AT MY 6TH BIRTHDAY IN OUR BACKGARDEN IN FRONT OF THE SHED, THE SUN WAS SHINING AND THE LAWN SMELT LIKE CUT GRASS. SHE PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER A YEAR LATER AND IT CHOKES ME UP TO SAY I FORGOT ALL ABOUT HER, I'M SORRY, REST IN PEACE.
I'm confused? What girl? And what band? Glassjaw? Did glassjaw perform at your 6th birthday party? Cos that would be dope, just I don't know how many 6 year old kids would be into this kind of thing, plus in 03' they were pretty big, so that would surprise me if they were doing shows for kids birthdays unless they knew your mom personally
Love this song. Sounds very Hum inspired which's a huge plus as I love them too. Crazy how this song with Egyptian/Tewt and Midwestern Stylings were never officially released. Also bridge section is used on Mu Empire.
@@nikitamedvedev4696 Yup! Good ear. I gotta check out Hum now. And yes, it’s insane those were never officially released. Good discography all around from this band, even in studio outtakes. Real talent.
The bridge is actually from a Silent Majority song you can hear it here: th-cam.com/video/SJtY6jnY88w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=86k6m_X8gN2swC3j&t=2875 I'm not sure if it is ok to nerd out like this but it was so many years ago I think it's ok. Daryl and Thomas were in a graffiti crew called "the track team." The term "Grasper" was Tommy Corrigan's tag name. When Glassjaw was first coming up as a new band they would open up for Tommy's band called "Silent Majority." The bridge section in the song grasper is actually a meta way of Daryl honoring his friend who helped him ascend the LI scene where eventually they would get national notoriety. Still to this day less people know about Silent Majority despite the outsize influence they had on the LI punk scene.
Grasper, you've made a friend, Grasper, you'd better stay And I got it too much, I got it all OK? Grasper, you better stay, Wouldn't want to, At least not without you, Wouldn't want to do that, Wouldn't want to, just not a way to word, Wouldn't want to yet, Grasper, you've made a friend, Grasper, for better stay And I got it too much, I got it all OK? Grasper, you'd better stay, Wouldn't want to at least not without you, Wouldn't want to do that, Wouldn't want to, guess there's no way to word, And all my life I have been waiting so long for you to be there with me, and I know one day we can be as one, They used to tell me that I'd dream forever, and I'd always stay on top of it, on top of it, they used to tell me that I'd dream forever, Right Whore, are we moving too slow? Tangerine, Tangerine Are we moving too slow? Tangerine, Tangerine Grasper, you've made a friend, Grasper, for better stay, And I got it too much I got it all OK? Grasper, you'd better stay
I'm 35 now and the part from 2:28 just makes me smile. This band was such a big part of my life in my late teens and as a young adult. This song and TEWT especially just awaken the most intense nostalgia. This band is truly one of a kind.
@xfogscapex if you want shoegazy/avant-garde genre, listen to coloring book ep, their latest album material control is not shoegazy at all, but, production wise it's similar to later my bloody valentine/deftones

Super HUM sounding. Love this.
FINALLY A GOOD VERSION!!! The beginning was always messed up.
Grasper, you've made a friend,
Grasper, you'd better stay
And I got it too much, I got it all OK?
Grasper, you better stay,
Wouldn't want to,
At least not without you,
Wouldn't want to do that,
Wouldn't want to, just not a way to word,
Wouldn't want to yet,
Grasper, you've made a friend,
Grasper, for better stay
And I got it too much, I got it all OK?
Grasper, you'd better stay,
Wouldn't want to at least not without you,
Wouldn't want to do that,
Wouldn't want to, guess there's no way to word,
And all my life I have been waiting so long for you to be there with me, and I know one day we can be as one,
They used to tell me that I'd dream forever, and I'd always stay on top of it, on top of it, they used to tell me that I'd dream forever, Right
Whore, are we moving too slow?
Tangerine, Tangerine
Are we moving too slow?

Best band❤️
That part on hits my heart every time, even nearly decades later. 🖤
Almost 2025 & still blasting this banger
@@Arvizu89 hell yeah
AND I GOT IT TOO MUCH, I GOT IT ALL OKAY 🔥🔥🔥
GRASSSPERRRRR
absolute banger of a song.
Goes crazy
Before it was Mu Empire, they used that little bridge lead in this song
tangerine
Shoegazey
If you don’t already listen to them you’d enjoy Worship & Tribute. Not necessarily shoegazey but sort of the same motifs found in this song.
@@sk00by37 Ohh yeah I def love it
I think flag burning dakota has a similar melodic sound
@@xfogscapex definitely!

My dumbass thought this was a Sublime song I never heard it's 🔥 anyways
Hahaha glad you found something new🔥
