Your reactions to this song and video have blown our minds. There is no better feeling than when music connects to strangers and we can share it together. We love you all. Stay tuned - MO
So interesting/funny you posted this so recently. I have to mentally prepare myself to listen to this song. I love it deeply, but at times I literally have to avoid it. Today, for some reason, I landed on it.
I know this is lame as fuck but in 08 when I played shake it out for people I knew it was like they weren't hearing the same song I was. I connected to the music though it was a real f uped time for me. If it were possible to be more fucked up in life I dont know how let's just say. But I think what I'm trying to say is your music hits you like a sledge hammer at certain times and that's the power of it. Once it hits you that's it your a lifer. Please keep it up guys cause you help alot of people. Whether you know it or not. Its therapy for many of us. This is coming from a person that lost everything and now 10 years later still love you guys and kicken ass in life.
I'm Robert God made me schizophrenic. My dad died when I was 19 n I started drugs n done a lot I died three different times. I lived destruction lost everything. I finally quit at 35 and I lost my mind seeing n hearing the voice's was so much I would cry out to God. I spent 2 yrs in a mental hospital where I found God I prayed not for myself but for him I said to him I cant imagine what you go through n now the voices stopped. I had to love myself before he'd help me. This song helps it slows everything down. Thank you for this song
When it comes the YAH/"God", the Holy Scriptures is All we have. He came as a Hebrew. This is the first key: 🗝 Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts. Second Key: 🗝 Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteranomy. In Power & Shalom/Peace I boldly approach 20 years.
The first time I heard this song I was on a trip with friends at the beach. It was the night before we all left, everyone was in bed for the night I was taking stuff to my truck because I wanted to get an early start in the morning. This song was playing over a speaker from somewhere next door. Didn't see anyone. Didn't hear anyone. Just me, alone in the dark, with this song. I sat down and listened and it's a moment I will never forget. One of the eeriest and wonderful moments I've ever had.
That would be an awesome experience. It's such an amazing song but to hear it in that situation, alone and being there just at the right time with just the music. Lucky bugger.
This will stay with you forever. Moments like this are so powerful. 1991 I take a roadtrip to cali with the top off my jeep. As I break the top of the hill, first time I am listening to The Cure's Mixed Up album the opening chords of Hot Hot Hot hit. 2024 all I have to hear is the start and I go back. Now anytime in your life when you hear a couple of chords its going to take you back to that place. These moments.....you are a luck one!!!!!
I was in my college dorm room after buying Bjork’s Vespertine. I had 3 roomates so it was rarely quiet in my room. I laid on my bed and put it on for the first time. There were these bugs outside the window. I don’t know if they were some sort of mosquito or gnats, but there were so many of them. They were floating and swirling around each other very slowly and methodically like no other bug I had seen. The beginning of It’s Not Up To You came on and they truly seemed to be dancing to the music, like they were in a trance. I was sleepy and fading into a nap just watching these beautiful bugs fly around to that delicate music box sound and I knew right then I would never forget that moment. It still sticks with me to this day.
We wanted to create a really special live performance for our fans, seeing as we haven’t been able to be together in quite awhile. So we returned to the place where we recorded A Black Mile To The Surface and played the album in its entirety. We are so excited to share this film, for free, to everybody. This album and your reception to it has exceeded our expectations, and we felt this the best way to thank you all for supporting our music. This feels like the perfect way to close the Black Mile chapter, and I’m excited to say that this is more than just a concert. It’s also the beginning. Manchester Orchestra TH-cam. 2/12/21. 8pm est.
I just discovered you guys a few months ago and I must say you absolutely rock! Keep it up, the world needs awesome music, especially during these times! Thank you Manchester Orchestra
I'm so often coming back to this song that I can say it is now a classic for me. I love the energy and the feel you make into your music. I hope to see you one day in France guys. Keep up your amazing work. And it goes perfectly with the snow that it is coming down today. Take care of you guys
I swear when I say this... it is the BEST song ever heard in my opinion. It opens a fucking gateway to my soul, and can easily send a man off the rails into.a beautiful depression (if there is such a thing). It resurfaces dormant memories for me and I had to have a week off work as I went fucking bonkers and couldnt put the bottle down and had this on repeat. This is a magical song that can break a man down but build him up into a stronger person. I just have to say this from my experiences, ex military, PTSD from war... this song is the BEST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD! end of story!
I have terminal metastatic breast cancer, I'm fighting like a demon though. This song really resonates with me. I see the 'Silence' as the cancer. But I'm not accepting my prognosis. I've already lived 3 years past what my oncologist expected, I plan to stay here a lot longer! The silence can be broken. 💗💗💗💗🤞 Thank you for the strength and complexity of this song. You guys rock!!! Love and light. Xxxxx Edit: Since writing my thanks to Manchester Orchestra for this incredible song, I've received the most beautiful messages of support from truly beautiful people. Thank you so much for taking the time to lift my spirits and making me smile on a daily basis. There are truly beautiful people in the world, thank you for helping this Phoenix rise. 🔥🙏💕 Love and light to you all. X 27/1/2022….5 1/2 years on and still fighting. 🙏🏻 16/8/2024….8 years, I’m so blessed. 🫶🏻✨
Thank you everyone. 💗 Your messages are deeply appreciated. X My heart and soul goes out to others that are fighting too. Stay positive, beat the silence. 🙏💫💫💫 For some reason I'm not able to reply to the messages on here anymore but its now August 2020 and I've just passed the 4 years since my diagnosis. 🥰👍 Thank you to everyone for the recent messages, you all rock! Still my favourite song and always will be. 🌈❤
@Marcus Stromberger. Thank you. You're doing so well, I'm sending you so much positivity and healing vibes. Sometimes we just beat the odds! I truly believe it's positivity and faith in ourselves that helps us. Thinking of you my friend. 😊💗
Well, more like 7 minutes from the "Are we good to go?" (1:07) to "Goodnight yall" (8:22). But still, the effects linger on. I've played this, and then found myself humming or whistling the tune many hours later!
I never realized how long this song was until I read your comment!! I love Tool but their 8 minute + songs seem to last forever. Maybe because this song is from the heart and has a deeper meaning than angst.
To the person reading this, even though we don't know each other and may never meet, I want to wish you all the best in life. Remember to love yourself and never stop doing so. You're a beautiful human being, and the world wouldn't be the samne without you. You mean so much to so many people, Enjoy your journey and keep your head up!
When a song carries such immense emotional tension that it brings you close to tears and feels like there's a stone in your chest… Then that song is a masterpiece. It's absolutely incredible.
Dedicate to my son Cody. 31, just diagnosed with an astrocytoma, brain cancer. Had his demassing surgery 60% removed. Now on chemo and radiation. Your prayers, well wishes, are so desired my global folk.
My prayers are with your son to stay fighting and keep loving the way you love. Stay strong Momabear also take care of urself your in my prayers😢❤🥹🙏🏼😊🙌🏻
Sending you & your son love & strength. How is he recovering ? Is he in a country he can access medical cannabis to help him through the chemo & radiation side effects?
@@MsRedbelly I sent him a care package with several strains. But the biggest hurdel is getting rid of that 40% they couldn't remove surgically. So damned young for such BS.
I watched my wife take her last breath as the life left her on January 1 of this year. It was a 21 day battle with cancer she couldn't win. I've listened to this song at least a hundred times since that moment. I've found my own meaning and comfort in it. Thank you.
I’m in recovery from a 15 year long battle with drugs and alcohol this song helped me get sober. Now I’m building a better relationship with god and getting healthy. 15 years of my life I waisted In and out of jail totaled two cars ruined every relationship I’ve ever been in I finally woke up and wanted better for myself before I ended up dead. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, good luck Yung, despite everything on this planet that seems to be working against us, this minute spec of time that we have in this almost unfathomable history, size, time, evolution etc of our universe (still can't imagine how far away Mars is?) Our time here now is a gift only a few have, we have a duty to try and make some sense of our tiny fingerprint we have been blessed with, so that we might leave a legacy that hopefully those that come after us will draw inspiration from to live their best lives?
My mom just passed on the July 21st. She was my best friend!!! She loved this song and all their music!!!......I love you mom. I will look for you for the rest of my life. On a crowded street, when I catch my reflection in a window, when I sit alone in the quiet I will listen for you.....I miss you!!
I lost my 24yr old youngest son 10 weeks ago, and my passion for life died with him I'm now simply exsisting. This song found me at my worst darkest, saddest day of my life. I listen to it everyday and weep and his voice and its beat, resonates in a messed up way. Somehow It console and comforts me. It makes me wanna scream and and at the sane tme curl up in bed and sleep with the hope of being waken up by him and realising it was just a bad dream. Haven't had a decent nite of sleep since woken up to the news of this tragedy. Missing him so much, Zakk was such a humble amazing loving son. I was his legend, and he was mine. FLY HIGH BOY! THank you MO for such a masterpiece. Can't stop listening to it. xoxo
My heart aches for you!!! 💔😭 My worse nightmare came true 6 years 3 mos ago ! When my only son Thomas passed away. I believe I was in the bathtub 🛀 when I first Heard this song 🎵 and I Bawled my eyes out!!!! This guy is amazing! I have never been moved like that by a song. I am so very sorry for your son's passing I truly feel your pain 💔 Thomas died 4 days after his 31st birthday. I found this song this year. God bless you ❣ 🙏 ❤ 💙✌
I call this my "tester" song....for so long, I couldn't listen to it without sobbing uncontrollably....it was part of my healing therapy...so every now and again, I come back and relisten....to check, to see....I'm still on that journey, but I no longer sob...my eyes fill with tears, but I smile...perhaps, one day, I'll come back and simply smile...thank you, Manchester Orchestra, for this beautiful gift of a song!...For you, my Angel, "Let me watch you as close as a memory" ♥
My husband is terminally ill with Alzheimer's. He hardly communicates with us anymore, and doesn't react to any stimuli. Once, I was listening to this song - and on a whim - I put the headphones on his head. Suddenly his expression changed and soon, tears were streaming down his face
Omg tears are streaming down my face for him for you and all those lost in like ghosts in a body no longer working, I hear you I see you, I feel you and I am so sorry for the despair that you’re experiencing 🙌❤️🙏
Does listening to a 40 Hz tone clean up the brain in Alzheimer's patients? They found that exposure to one hour of 40-hertz tones per day, for seven days, dramatically reduced the amount of beta amyloid in the auditory cortex (which processes sound) as well as the hippocampus, a key memory site that is located near the auditory cortex.
The craziest thing about voices like his is that his heartbreak brings so much healing to other's. Your voice is healing, even when it sings of pain. True Gift.
I’m 36, married with a 8 year old daughter and a 6 year old daughter. Have been diagnosed with ptsd from the military, major depressive disorder, anxiety. Several times I was going to take my life. Once my 8 year old was born, I’ve still struggled but have mustered the strength to be there and the best version of myself for those angels. If you’re going through something, please don’t give up.
🖤Hoje perdemos alguém muito especial e importante para mim. Meu amigo de 30 anos, meu irmão! Descansa em paz e obrigado por tua presença em minha vida todos estes anos cheios de ótimas memórias. Amo-te 🙏
My father. He's suffering from Alzheimers. I haven't spoken to him in 3 years, nor seen him for 12 as I live abroad now. I miss him every day and even though he's still here in body, he's no longer here in mind. A horrible disease where the only ones who really suffer are those left behind.
I lost my husband over a week ago - he died suddenly and unexpectedly. Tomorrow is the funeral... I am able to get up every morning since January 12 thanks to this song. It helps me to evacuate the overwhelming grief. Thank you.
I am so sorry to hear that! I wish I could give you some magical fix for your grief, but in truth there is nothing to do but feel the pain and remember the good times you had to sooth it a bit. I wish you all the best and I hope you have people around you that are there for you right now!
To anyone reading this, whether if you are struggling yourself, whether if you are grieving, whether if you have lost someone or whether if you are fighting something, you are not alone. You matter in this world, you are seen, you are heard and everything you feel or go through is valid. I hope you heal and beat every/any fight you go through. Keep fighting soldier, I hope you find peace and happiness.
@@newalawMy heart aches for you I lost my brother a year ago August 13... he died by suicide. It felt unreal for quite a while. I read your words &. began crying. I'm so very sorry for your loss. It helps to find people you can talk about it with. I'm sending warm hugs.I embrace you my heart. Love 🫶🏼,& Spirit Hugs 🕊️🫂 `Be gentle,,& kind to yourself.🫶🏼🪴
Here I am, fighting terminal cancer. This song IS life. I do not remember how I came across it, but from moment one is became a special one for me. Not a day goes by without me listening to it, at times "on repeat". Thank you, Manchester Orchestra. You created a masterpiece....a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@animistde I am here to appreciate the sincere, raw and emotional masterpiece that Manchester Orchestra created. A timeless song that brings us together and takes us through hard times. To me your entry about the Medical Medium is out of context and yes, a 100% scam. If I were you, I would have delete it.
Lyrics Why do I deserve the science To feel better about you? At a loss I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me All the while you waste away, you're asking "Did I really need another one to take me down?" Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" That was something your father had burned in me Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity You can go anywhere but you are where you came from Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
I've contemplated suicide a lot throughout my life. I heard this song and started to think about the pain I'll transfer to my loved ones if I go. I'm still here facing my fears a day at a time. "Suicide doesn't take the pain away, it transfers it to someone else".
One day at a time my friend. You don't have to get through the rest of the decade, nor this year, not this month, not even the rest of the week, just today! Well done for making it through another day 🙂
"The Silence" by Manchester Orchestra is a song about feelings of isolation, fear, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics narrate the struggles of the protagonist as they grapple with their own existence and the overwhelming pressure of society. The song delves into the themes of mortality, hopelessness, and the constant battle to break free from the silence and find genuine connection with others. Overall, it is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels cold and detached.
I hear the dichotomy between the protagonist as you say and the antagonist.....an identity crises that teeters on the precipice of insanity....times tide is mothering and smothering.
I don’t really know the authors official meaning of the song but I interpret it like a conversation between a mourning father and god. He is trying to grasp the pain and void he feels after loosing his daughter. I would love to read more interpretations of this beautiful and amazing song.
Sevdiğim adam , o kadar çok çaba verdin ki bizim için . Beni ne kadar özlediğini anlamadım , verdiğin değeri anlamadım. Sen yanlışım ile hatalarım ile hep yanımda oldun asla pes etmedin hep bir yol göstermek için çabaladın yanımda olduğunu hep hissettirmek istedin ben çok geç kaldım sana çok geç hissetim değerini bu şarkıyı dinlemem için attığın da saatlerce başa sarıp sarıp dinlendim sözleri o kadar anlamlı ki seni gördüm bu şarkıda 🥺 benim her zaman sana ihtiyacım olacak gözlerini hiç kapatma derin derin bakayım ben gözlerine izin ver elini tutayım , izin ver yüreğin evim olsun , izin ver biz olalım… affet ben sana çok geç kaldım …. Bu şarkı çok derin bir iz oldu 😞
At the ripe age of 65, I'm still impressed with how these young bands have kept music worthy of a listen. Thank you for helping me reminisce about the past.
I'm a 40-year-old recovering alcoholic. Tomorrow will be my 11th anniversary without a drink. My daughter was born during my first year of recovery. This song brought back so many emotions in dealing with the terror of fucking up my daughter's life or passing along my learned life behavior to her. My 60-year-old mother introduced me to this and it immediately brought me to tears.
Love from a brother. I just had a daughter and it terrifies me thinking that how I may unknowingly do the same mistakes my father did with me. I ended up hating him and he has passed and there is nothing I can do with how I feel about him.
Just lost my mother from covid19..i keep listening to this masterpiece all day and all night..it's so painfull, my heart aches, feels like i can't breath.. i love you mama..you'll always be with me..please forgive me for not being next to you these last days of your life..we'll meet again someday..rest in peace..
Everyone has different reactions to songs. For me, this song drives home the loss of my son. Life is proper cruel, this we have to accept. Loss or loved ones we have to mourn and remember. They say time heals, which is crap, love heals. We need love from people to help us heal. I find that love in music.
Both love wasn't enough to heal all the loss I have had and it took a lot of time a lot of time and honestly I think as people trickled out if my life is when the pain stopped but that could have been a coincidence with time. Everyone is different but the only thing that kept hope in my heart was what I thought was a bs sentiment "time heals"
Beautifully said. I’ve lived through so many losses, including my entire immediate family to tragic and untimely deaths and to me it’s that it takes making new happy memories to offset the grief and horror of the horrible ones and joy to offset the pain, but love is intrinsic to that. Ironically, it can be harder to come by when you need it most and despite where death and loss may seem to bring people together it frequently does the opposite, tears people apart and is very isolating. I felt utterly in what you said, though and that’s one reason I frequently feel survivors are the best people to know, and best people of all.
I'm in my late 40's sitting here with tears in my eyes... This song is nothing but a masterpiece... The music, the voice, the lyric, every second of this song is pure perfection.
My mother passed away a little over a year ago. I could say that it is inevitable to feel the bitter taste, however, with the passage of time, her absence has given me the courage to find her everywhere. Mirian I will look for you for the rest of my life in a street full of people or in people calling me by my name, in the love that you left and in the most beautiful corners that you filled with brightness, I love you I hope to see you again. Thank you for loving me these 22 years, you are too much.
My 32 year old son Travis passed away February 10, 2024 😭😭💔💔My only child 💔😭 He was a good soul with many struggles and tried so hard to find himself and fit into this world. I love him and miss him so much 😭😭😭💔💔💔
Listening to this song is either an intense epiphany, a spiritual awakening or a mental breakdown, maybe all three at once. I'm so thankful that I can experience something so beautiful ❤️
This is what music is about. I've on and off dealt with depression for over a decade since my teens and it's music like this that has always got me through it. Thank you so much guys.
@@indylar there is something about music. It just has this calming effect. I just hope more people can come across this masterpiece and feel like fighting a little more.
As a man who has only in the last year finally healed from an agonising childhood. One of my greatest struggles is the fight to keep my children free of the trauma and agony. This song feels like an acknowledgment of the pain a parent feels in their efforts to protect their children from the darkness we can bring into their world. It brings me to tears every time.
As a parent of two and uncle to two, i just came across this song and idk why it felt so bitter sweet that it made me tear up, all I can say is, this song makes me realized whatever childhood and adolescent trauma I have, I want my kids and nephews to never be affected or see my pain, I want to shelter them from the dark side of life..I believe things happen for this very reason
As another of childhood trauma I'm so utterly touched by the comments here. The dear sweet acknowledgement of the suffering we endured. I realy feel humbled to be amongst you x
40+ million views: loads of us are going thru some shit right now and we dont under-rate it. Think maybe this is a niche that not everyone needs all the time.
@@sergiogonzalez6239 it's not, but thanks for the link, that's also a good number. I like these ambient sounds, do you know this album th-cam.com/video/xL3MBMim36E/w-d-xo.html .
So sorry to hear of the "pure hell" of your childhood sweetie! As with all things, good or bad, we learn, and hopefully take something away, and use it in a positive way, later in life! Hope all is well for you now!!!!
@@ballardfrogman um bc she wanted to. This song obviously hit a soft spot and reminds her of what she went thru. Have you ever listened to a song that just meant something? If not i feel sorry for you
It's 2 am. All alone listening to this masterpiece. My brother died in a freak road accident in November of 2011 just 3 days before I was supposed to get married. All his memories are in my head and I will keep cherishing them as long as I am alive. "There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection" So close yet so far. Stay safe everyone!
That line stays with me. My 31 year old son and only child died May 21 2022. I will survive, but I'll never be the same. I'm 61 trying to live a life he would be proud of, but if God took me tomorrow I'd be OK with that. It's not just losing him, it's losing all the plans we had to do things together, all the future I hoped for gone with the end of my family name, all the calls and texts I can no longer make to share something funny. ...I don't just listen to this song, I FEEL it. I miss you Hunter and can't wait to see you again😔
Ya know sugars... I can agree. However, it REALLY sucks when we can be right next to someone and be completely and utterly ALONE. IM 46, and the shit NEVER gets any easier.
Thanks. I get nervous sometimes when music like this gets overlooked and songs like Anaconda have a billion plus views. It's literally frightening. lol
All the hugs brother. You've got this! Remission since late '18 myself. The fight gets really hard...really hard, especially near the end... but the joy when you finish that last treatment is worth it.
Hey, Mike, be strong. You can fight it and win over cancer. But only if you believe you can and have the will to beat it. Only in the west, the word C is not to be spoken. In Asia you Co exist as they rarely do surgery and chemo is not advisable. Let me k ow if I can help, I'm not for big pharma prescribed drugs. I believe in Holistic approach. Love you bro ❤
I'm jealous of the people who are hearing this for the first time !!! Edit : Sorry for the delayed responses guys, glad we all share the same energy :)
the video was playing for some seconds, while i was scrolling through comments an read yours. thank you, you made me stop anything i was doing, and just listen. this is a masterpiece of music!
2018 was the hardest year of my life - Our daughter Candice passed away due to complications in removing a tumour on her kidney. She was 35 and has two little one's, Rachie (4) and Abigail (20 months). She was an amazing mother, wife, freedom fighter, daughter and most importantly, friend. I can't express how much we miss her. Andy and team , this song is legend, I listen to it all the time. All i can can say is this. Let's appreciate our kids for the gift they are; they are not ours, they are entrusted to us by God. We have a huge responsibility> Thank you
My girlfriend is 35 and has cervical cancer and now she has leukemia and a failing liver from all the chemo. Very hard to watch someone you love go through something like this and you feel powerless to stop it. We have a 10 yr old daughter who idolizes her mother and it breaks my heart to see her watch her mother getting closer and closer to death. Im sorry for your loss Paul.....i truly understand what you are going through.
@@sleuth2077 Hey Sleuth, I went cold reading your message. I am so sorry you have to walk this road. It's hard, very hard and few truly understand what you are going through. One feels so helpless. I don't know you but know this, I genuinely feel your pain. Music has always been my refuge, more so the last four months. Stay strong Sleuth for your partner and that little girl.
I'm a father of two girls 9 and 5 years old, I have been their provider and protector since birth and I will remain that until death. I can not know your pain, only you know the weight of that crown. May your pain be healed and peace let in your heart.
Paul, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your daughter. We aren't supposed to lose our children before us and it leaves an empty space filled with nothing but the hopes that in time the Lord will fill that with His love and peace. I lost my twins and I struggle to make it through each day. I have my daughter and she is the only reason I can even stay here. Trying to be a good parent when you are sick has taken all my strength but His strength and grace keep my head just above water. I understand your pain and I hold you and your wife and grandchildren in my prayers. Christ Jesus bless and be with you and your family.
Again, the voice of the unborn....the voice that will never say "I Love you Mom"...The voice that will tell you that your child will take good care of you, when you are old....please, fathers, step up....they belong to you.....
My son passed 2:28 away from an overdose at my house. After they removed his body for the last time, I went to put a favorite song that we shared and this song for no reason was on TH-cam when I put TH-cam on. It's become a tribute to my son. I play this song several times a day. I absolutely love it and I love and miss my son
This was my little brother's anthem. We listened to it daily for the last few months. We spent so much time together and had been through so much with only each other for support. He took his own life 3 days ago and all I can hear is him promising me he wouldn't leave me here. I just realized I'm not ready to hear this song yet.
I‘m so sorry for you loss William! Wish you all the Love and healing your Soul and Heart needs Right now. Take your Time to grief! You and your Brother Are Never apart, his Soul will actually Never Leave you, he hears and sees everything you Go through - maybe This Song Can & will always remind you of that you actually are never alone .. Much Love from Germany
My heart breaks with you. It's ok to cry!! You have to continue on and feel it all. I want you to know you are not alone in this world. We could never make sense of life, it's meaning, the good, beauty, hurt, grief, pain, joy, love, sorrow. The definitions are endless and at the end of the day we have no other choice but to continue. I have a hard time even writing these words bc I don't know that I even believe them. But we are going through life wether it feels real or not. I just want you to know you are not alone even though your brother is gone. He's still around you, it's not forever, it's only till next time!! I'll be sending you lots of love and strength to help you during such a hard time. ❤
But if it kept him alive then...it does now. Now live out what you aspire yourself to be like he was ...how he smiled, made ppl laugh, was kindred...etc...and then your living ,he's living, and the song is living...energy never dies . It can only transfer,transfer,or best of all transform darling beloved live it all out.dont fall victim...become warrior in this moment on. Live your life ❤️
I don't now if I can express how I feel about this song, it has every moved me so much. 23 years in a horrible abusive marriage, in all ways and extremely emotional. I listen to this now ironically in a brand new cruiser at the end of my street, sunset point and tears pour. But now they're cleansing tears, thankful tears, tears of hope and joy. I'm in so many worlds. A paradise, a hell, hope, endurance, confusion, rage, dare I live another moment.
Live life and love yourself. Life's goes on , make your story a happy one. I recently thought I'd lost it all through bad choices but amazingly it's worked out fingers crossed. Live every moment you've got. X
Just brilliant. I’m in my mid sixties, and I’ve been music-obsessed for most of those years. And I’m genuinely obsessed with Manchester Orchestra! So well written, so tightly delivered, and Andy’s voice is one of the most compelling I’ve ever heard!
Hello person reading this, if this reaches anyone. we're from different parts of the world, we lead different lives, we are different people. but yet, this piece, this video, has brought us together. and I will never meet you, but just remember we're still connected by this piece- by simply listening to it, together. it's crazy how the internet can bring people together, huh? and I hope you're doing more than "okay," and if you aren't, remember: you will be okay, and that's a promise. please be easy on yourself- it's been a tough year, I know, but we're almost over it, and you will be happy. I don't know how much you'll remember of this, but I'm glad that our lives intertwined in this little way. have a nice day, or night, and lastly, nice life...
It has been a tough year and a half . I think we all need to know we will all be ok and what better way than with great music like this . Thank you from a stranger in Texas and happy life to you as well. 😊
This song brings me to tears. I’m a grown ass man 34 and it’s hard to compose myself hearing this. Just amazed, makes me realize I can still feel after so much and becoming numb and cold.
Yea life can feel pointless when you hit a certain level of numbness and coldness inside. Like the anchor keeping you grounded has run off and left you to fly off into the void
Robert when you prayed and you found yourself and the voices stopped im so glad for you but what i truly believe is that you spoke to the god within you and your soul and higher self and you are god cus you come from god and i wish people would thi k that for minute. You search him within you and find the creator full circle back yourself. Atleast thats what he showed me when i asked him to teach me and he said dont pray just listen you and me are one
I lost my dad 2 years ago and this song was the emotional release I needed. It was incredibly painful to listen to this most of the time, but I kept coming back, somehow it was important to feel through the pain and this song helped me connect to that pain. It still hurts to listen to this, but there's lightness mixed into the heaviness now, a lightness of joy in having known my dad and everything he meant to me. To those going through loss and grief, just know that you're not alone. You are loved, and while the pain never fully goes away, it transforms eventually into strength, love and appreciation xx
the strength it requires to allow ourselves to truly experience the pain that comes with an experience as final and shattering as the loss of someone so engrained in our very being, is in and of itself, a very respectable thing. i’ve felt a lifetimes worth of feelings in the past two years. so trust me, i empathize with you. this song did the same thing for me. it broke down the walls. his voice transmits the emotion with so much energy it’s palpable.
I lost my dad this last July 5th. Since then, I just feel like a pinball, bouncing off walls & barriers & places I don't belong. The worst part is that I never had one real convo with him about how I really felt, what I truly believed, things I wanted to do, what hurt me... I knew most of his story, but why do we get scared of showing what we're really made up of? I wish I could've shared that with him.
Why do I deserve the silence to feel better about you? At a loss I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me All the while you waste away, you're asking Did I really need another one to take me down? Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with, darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, don't look in that cabinet There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there That was something your father had burned in me Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity You can go anywhere but you are where you came from Little girl, you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
My name is Christopher Jon; I'm a musician and photographer. I lost my first born daughter August 23rd 2021; her name was Sophia Grace Smaragdas; she was 5 years old. This song helped me get past the most difficult times of my life. I owe you guys more than you know!
Anyone especially love the realizations that ultimately in relationships there really isn't anything you keep but a reflection and that part of the song hits so hard everytime
As a man with a 5 month old daughter; the last verse of this song had me literally in tears. I pray she has all of my good and none of the curses of my ancestry. Powerful beyond words.
As a single father who raised my daughter until her recent 18th birthday, I prayed for this to, all my life. Unfortunately it has caught up with her. I sent this song to her to show it's my fault, not hers. Love her tightly mate, there is nothing like the love of a daughter for their father.

My mom died on april this year, my brother told me about this song, its exactly, or at least 90% of our history, she's in peace now. 🙏🏻 god bless you all people. Mom, love you and miss you like I never imagined.
Can't believe I just discovered this band and track. This song, the singer's voice... it freakin hits like no other. Slams my soul and emotions all at once. Amazing.
This is one of the greatest bands ever, I hope you find some of their other songs and albums to be just as amazing cause they have so many other amazing tracks
Keep listening 😌 this has been my favorite band for 14 years and it has been a thrilling ride. Once you discover Andy Hull, you discover so much more than just Manchester Orchestra. He has endless side projects as well and his voice knows no bounds. His music is invaluable to me and has quite literally saved my life more than once. The thought of living without it is unimaginable to me at this point. Enjoy the ride ♡
Great song it let's us feel the new beginning that has come to make our life glorious remember this is our time to live this song brings everything to the table of life
If not for this song I would not be here today. My wife and I were in a car crash that took her life.this song helps keep her alive . I love you Katie.see you on the other side
I lost my son at a year and 3 months. This song has always carried me through my downward spirals. I hope this band knows how much they truly help people going through life in all colors.
Feel your pain sister. 20 months ago same faith knocked on my door and took my youngest. Life is tough but if we're still here and this is our journey we can't waste a day. We have to live our fullest as that's what our sons would be doing if they were still here with us. They want to see us happy as we would want to see them happy if it was the other way round. ❤️ u
I wrote a good friend's eulogy listening to this song a few years back after he took his own life. 15 years of active duty weighted to heavily upon his mind and he is still missed to this day. RIP Tani
@Snoozebutton I av stood on that chair in my flat with a noose around my neck the reason I'm still here is my son would of been the first to find me , if I'd been in the park at that time I would of jumped .every day sueside comes into my mind.
I'm near speechless..Stumbled across this track and it brought me to tears. It's been 17 years now since a drug addiction took everything I ever had leaving me broke, alone and very unwell...I rebuilt my life one step at a time and am now happily married with 2 kids and a business..Never ever quit. Thank you for this utterly amazing song...
Your comment left me in Tears... I am (kinda) in a same situation like you, still try to get out of the hole... its nice to read such a comment! You earned the luck you found and you worked so hard for... not now but ever!
Recently lost my wife. We saw MO at the Leeds festival in 2009. Loved them from the first moment I saw em. But this song has saved me, and I don't know why. It just stirs me. It's just beautiful
I'am sorry for your lost! I can't imagine how it is! Lots of love from Holland! I am greatfull for this music....and if listening to this song: know that me and my boyfriend are also listening...❤

Wow! Wow! Wow! This song gets to my soul. I am a 62 year old black grandma that is totally in love with you guys. This song is awesome! I luv it, luv it, luv it. I sure would love to see you guys in concert. Let me know when you'll be in Texas.
I have been in a relationship that was the most destructive I’ve ever experienced in my life, I could not begin to imagine one person could be so hateful, mean and full of resentment. I loved her with my whole being, my soul included. She hated me through and through. This song explains everything I experienced with this person. Her silence bruised me everyday. Now, I live everyday praising God I got out before something bad happened. She was completely toxic. I’m single still to this day, but at least I’m free! Peace😎✌️

Your reactions to this song and video have blown our minds. There is no better feeling than when music connects to strangers and we can share it together. We love you all. Stay tuned - MO
Amazing music makes feels!
So interesting/funny you posted this so recently. I have to mentally prepare myself to listen to this song. I love it deeply, but at times I literally have to avoid it. Today, for some reason, I landed on it.
I know this is lame as fuck but in 08 when I played shake it out for people I knew it was like they weren't hearing the same song I was. I connected to the music though it was a real f uped time for me. If it were possible to be more fucked up in life I dont know how let's just say. But I think what I'm trying to say is your music hits you like a sledge hammer at certain times and that's the power of it. Once it hits you that's it your a lifer. Please keep it up guys cause you help alot of people. Whether you know it or not. Its therapy for many of us. This is coming from a person that lost everything and now 10 years later still love you guys and kicken ass in life.
I listen to this song every single day. My wife died five years ago and music has been the glue that has held me together. Yours more than most.
Manchester Orchestra ♥️thank you guys
I'm Robert God made me schizophrenic. My dad died when I was 19 n I started drugs n done a lot I died three different times. I lived destruction lost everything. I finally quit at 35 and I lost my mind seeing n hearing the voice's was so much I would cry out to God. I spent 2 yrs in a mental hospital where I found God I prayed not for myself but for him I said to him I cant imagine what you go through n now the voices stopped. I had to love myself before he'd help me. This song helps it slows everything down. Thank you for this song
We are here with you man. Can't imagine what you're going through. Take care.

The first time I heard this song I was on a trip with friends at the beach. It was the night before we all left, everyone was in bed for the night I was taking stuff to my truck because I wanted to get an early start in the morning. This song was playing over a speaker from somewhere next door. Didn't see anyone. Didn't hear anyone. Just me, alone in the dark, with this song. I sat down and listened and it's a moment I will never forget. One of the eeriest and wonderful moments I've ever had.
That would be an awesome experience. It's such an amazing song but to hear it in that situation, alone and being there just at the right time with just the music. Lucky bugger.
This will stay with you forever. Moments like this are so powerful. 1991 I take a roadtrip to cali with the top off my jeep. As I break the top of the hill, first time I am listening to The Cure's Mixed Up album the opening chords of Hot Hot Hot hit. 2024 all I have to hear is the start and I go back.
Now anytime in your life when you hear a couple of chords its going to take you back to that place. These moments.....you are a luck one!!!!!
Hebt das EGO, durch das LEID !!! 😏✌️❤️😎
That’s an incredible memory, it sounds so surreal. Thanks for sharing that with us! ❤
I was in my college dorm room after buying Bjork’s Vespertine. I had 3 roomates so it was rarely quiet in my room. I laid on my bed and put it on for the first time. There were these bugs outside the window. I don’t know if they were some sort of mosquito or gnats, but there were so many of them. They were floating and swirling around each other very slowly and methodically like no other bug I had seen. The beginning of It’s Not Up To You came on and they truly seemed to be dancing to the music, like they were in a trance. I was sleepy and fading into a nap just watching these beautiful bugs fly around to that delicate music box sound and I knew right then I would never forget that moment. It still sticks with me to this day.
We wanted to create a really special live performance for our fans, seeing as we haven’t been able to be together in quite awhile. So we returned to the place where we recorded A Black Mile To The Surface and played the album in its entirety. We are so excited to share this film, for free, to everybody. This album and your reception to it has exceeded our expectations, and we felt this the best way to thank you all for supporting our music. This feels like the perfect way to close the Black Mile chapter, and I’m excited to say that this is more than just a concert. It’s also the beginning. Manchester Orchestra TH-cam. 2/12/21. 8pm est.
I just discovered you guys a few months ago and I must say you absolutely rock! Keep it up, the world needs awesome music, especially during these times!
Thank you Manchester Orchestra
Didnt know you guys before, this vid randomly come up in a playlist. Love it, defo gonna check more of your stuff 😊👍🏽☕️
THANK YOU!
I'm so often coming back to this song that I can say it is now a classic for me. I love the energy and the feel you make into your music. I hope to see you one day in France guys. Keep up your amazing work. And it goes perfectly with the snow that it is coming down today. Take care of you guys
I swear when I say this... it is the BEST song ever heard in my opinion. It opens a fucking gateway to my soul, and can easily send a man off the rails into.a beautiful depression (if there is such a thing). It resurfaces dormant memories for me and I had to have a week off work as I went fucking bonkers and couldnt put the bottle down and had this on repeat. This is a magical song that can break a man down but build him up into a stronger person. I just have to say this from my experiences, ex military, PTSD from war... this song is the BEST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD! end of story!
This is not music, this is the very finest art humans can create.. this echos through the entire universe..
Give you great power
I love the way you think
Very true
Ethereal!
So true
I have terminal metastatic breast cancer, I'm fighting like a demon though. This song really resonates with me. I see the 'Silence' as the cancer. But I'm not accepting my prognosis. I've already lived 3 years past what my oncologist expected, I plan to stay here a lot longer! The silence can be broken. 💗💗💗💗🤞
Thank you for the strength and complexity of this song. You guys rock!!! Love and light. Xxxxx
Edit: Since writing my thanks to Manchester Orchestra for this incredible song, I've received the most beautiful messages of support from truly beautiful people.

I lost my 24yr old youngest son 10 weeks ago, and my passion for life died with him I'm now simply exsisting. This song found me at my worst darkest, saddest day of my life. I listen to it everyday and weep and his voice and its beat, resonates in a messed up way. Somehow It console and comforts me. It makes me wanna scream and and at the sane tme curl up in bed and sleep with the hope of being waken up by him and realising it was just a bad dream. Haven't had a decent nite of sleep since woken up to the news of this tragedy. Missing him so much, Zakk was such a humble amazing loving son. I was his legend, and he was mine. FLY HIGH BOY! THank you MO for such a masterpiece. Can't stop listening to it. xoxo

Stay strong my friend and never give up!
Never give up girl.. We all here for you always..This music is redemption. ❤❤

I call this my "tester" song....for so long, I couldn't listen to it without sobbing uncontrollably....it was part of my healing therapy...so every now and again, I come back and relisten....to check, to see....I'm still on that journey, but I no longer sob...my eyes fill with tears, but I smile...perhaps, one day, I'll come back and simply smile...thank you, Manchester Orchestra, for this beautiful gift of a song!...For you, my Angel, "Let me watch you as close as a memory" ♥

My husband is terminally ill with Alzheimer's.
He hardly communicates with us anymore, and doesn't react to any stimuli.
Once, I was listening to this song - and on a whim - I put the headphones on his head.
Suddenly his expression changed and soon, tears were streaming down his face
Omg tears are streaming down my face for him for you and all those lost in like ghosts in a body no longer working, I hear you I see you, I feel you and I am so sorry for the despair that you’re experiencing 🙌❤️🙏

Does listening to a 40 Hz tone clean up the brain in Alzheimer's patients?
They found that exposure to one hour of 40-hertz tones per day, for seven days, dramatically reduced the amount of beta amyloid in the auditory cortex (which processes sound) as well as the hippocampus, a key memory site that is located near the auditory cortex.
It touches the inner most cords of my vulnerability. I am on cancer treatment and this song/ his voice brings me to the hear and now of my being 😊
Music is the best therapy. I bet if you played music he grew up on, you would see him smile and maybe sing along.

My father. He's suffering from Alzheimers. I haven't spoken to him in 3 years, nor seen him for 12 as I live abroad now. I miss him every day and even though he's still here in body, he's no longer here in mind. A horrible disease where the only ones who really suffer are those left behind.
I'm grieving for my grandson and daughter. he would have been 25 today if he would have lived. God needed another angel
Yes
If you're watching this in 2021, I love you and you're not alone.
🙏🙏👍👍 thanks
Thank you . I hope you are safe . We’re all in this together. ❤️🇨🇦
Love ya
Love you too... and no! We're not alone. There's always someone.
Same... So much... Keep keepin' on brothers and sisters... Keep on...
I lost my husband over a week ago - he died suddenly and unexpectedly. Tomorrow is the funeral... I am able to get up every morning since January 12 thanks to this song. It helps me to evacuate the overwhelming grief. Thank you.
I am so sorry to hear that! I wish I could give you some magical fix for your grief, but in truth there is nothing to do but feel the pain and remember the good times you had to sooth it a bit. I wish you all the best and I hope you have people around you that are there for you right now!
I lost my husband a year ago on January 12th. My deepest sympathies to you...this song is very therapeutic for me. He will always be with you. 🖤
May his soul rest in peace ❤️🩹
Stay strong
May you find peace. Stay strong
This song is a hit...I don't know how many times I hv played it.
Many years from now it will still be a classic. Who agrees with me
To anyone reading this, whether if you are struggling yourself, whether if you are grieving, whether if you have lost someone or whether if you are fighting something, you are not alone. You matter in this world, you are seen, you are heard and everything you feel or go through is valid.
I hope you heal and beat every/any fight you go through. Keep fighting soldier, I hope you find peace and happiness.
Thank you. I appreciate your words.
Sending Hugs!🫶🏼🪴~🙏🏼 Namaste

Here I am, fighting terminal cancer. This song IS life. I do not remember how I came across it, but from moment one is became a special one for me. Not a day goes by without me listening to it, at times "on repeat". Thank you, Manchester Orchestra. You created a masterpiece....a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@animistde I am here to appreciate the sincere, raw and emotional masterpiece that Manchester Orchestra created. A timeless song that brings us together and takes us through hard times. To me your entry about the Medical Medium is out of context and yes, a 100% scam. If I were you, I would have delete it.

Lyrics
Why do I deserve the science
To feel better about you?
At a loss I lost my cool
I denied that I found you
I tried to be a basket case
I did not surprise you
I'm trying to find a signal fire
Let me know when I should move
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
Why do I desire the space?
I was mourning after you
I was lost and lost my shape
There was nothing I could do
I don't want to waste away
It was all I gave to you
Take me back and take my place
I will rise right up for you
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
All the while you waste away, you're asking
"Did I really need another one to take me down?"
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
There was nothing but quiet retractions
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet
There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there"
That was something your father had burned in me
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
You can go anywhere but you are where you came from
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
There is nothing but darkness and agony
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Let me watch you as close as a memory
Let me hold you above all the misery
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
Thank you so much
Appreciate it
Thank you, English is not my first language so it is highly appreciated.
Linnnnnnnnda ♥️♥️
Wow. Makes me think of my mother who just passed away.
5 years later and still one of the greatest songs out there!
I would be lost in this crazy world if there was no music. Thank you
me 2 It's a treat for me
Same I am always dopamining for new music
❤❤
This Is music...absolutely
So true! Music is life
I've contemplated suicide a lot throughout my life. I heard this song and started to think about the pain I'll transfer to my loved ones if I go. I'm still here facing my fears a day at a time.
"Suicide doesn't take the pain away, it transfers it to someone else".
keep on fighting! I know it's hard, but keep on pushing. Something beautiful will come out of the struggle. It must. Just don't give up
Just keep on believing the best. Always try and be positive. You’ll get there. Good luck.😉
One day at a time my friend. You don't have to get through the rest of the decade, nor this year, not this month, not even the rest of the week, just today! Well done for making it through another day 🙂
I'm glad your still here with us
stay with us. Lets defy the odds and make it work. You're awesome. Find your awesome and lets celebrate your awesome xx Please dont leave. xx
"The Silence" by Manchester Orchestra is a song about feelings of isolation, fear, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics narrate the struggles of the protagonist as they grapple with their own existence and the overwhelming pressure of society. The song delves into the themes of mortality, hopelessness, and the constant battle to break free from the silence and find genuine connection with others. Overall, it is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels cold and detached.
What a glorious analysis of this song. I loved this song before I understood the lyrics, which I definitely relate to my own existence. Thank you!
I hear the dichotomy between the protagonist as you say and the antagonist.....an identity crises that teeters on the precipice of insanity....times tide is mothering and smothering.
I don’t really know the authors official meaning of the song but I interpret it like a conversation between a mourning father and god. He is trying to grasp the pain and void he feels after loosing his daughter. I would love to read more interpretations of this beautiful and amazing song.
Merci
Merci
Sevdiğim adam , o kadar çok çaba verdin ki bizim için . Beni ne kadar özlediğini anlamadım , verdiğin değeri anlamadım. Sen yanlışım ile hatalarım ile hep yanımda oldun asla pes etmedin hep bir yol göstermek için çabaladın yanımda olduğunu hep hissettirmek istedin ben çok geç kaldım sana çok geç hissetim değerini bu şarkıyı dinlemem için attığın da saatlerce başa sarıp sarıp dinlendim sözleri o kadar anlamlı ki seni gördüm bu şarkıda 🥺 benim her zaman sana ihtiyacım olacak gözlerini hiç kapatma derin derin bakayım ben gözlerine izin ver elini tutayım , izin ver yüreğin evim olsun , izin ver biz olalım… affet ben sana çok geç kaldım …. Bu şarkı çok derin bir iz oldu 😞
Amen 🙏
At the ripe age of 65, I'm still impressed with how these young bands have kept music worthy of a listen. Thank you for helping me reminisce about the past.
Well put
It's just a number.
What a wholesome comment, may you have a long, healthy and happy life!
I’m with you, Frank.
Me too I love this kind of music
I'm a 40-year-old recovering alcoholic. Tomorrow will be my 11th anniversary without a drink. My daughter was born during my first year of recovery. This song brought back so many emotions in dealing with the terror of fucking up my daughter's life or passing along my learned life behavior to her. My 60-year-old mother introduced me to this and it immediately brought me to tears.
Congratulations for your strength!Keep going ,you are strong!
♥
Love from a brother. I just had a daughter and it terrifies me thinking that how I may unknowingly do the same mistakes my father did with me. I ended up hating him and he has passed and there is nothing I can do with how I feel about him.
Well done... I was in a bad way when my princess was born too. Music and a mirror turned me into a man that day...... Keep kicking ass Drew......
The good news is, you haven’t fucked up, keep smiling.
Just lost my mother from covid19..i keep listening to this masterpiece all day and all night..it's so painfull, my heart aches, feels like i can't breath.. i love you mama..you'll always be with me..please forgive me for not being next to you these last days of your life..we'll meet again someday..rest in peace..
I am sorry....may peace be with you.
@@anneshadasgupta1594 thank you so much..
... I'm sorry - I am listening to this song with you "together" to keep your company.
Sorry for you. May peace be with you and your family
sorry for your loss. There's hope for the living
“You can go anywhere, but you are where you came from”
Hits me hard
Everyone has different reactions to songs. For me, this song drives home the loss of my son. Life is proper cruel, this we have to accept. Loss or loved ones we have to mourn and remember. They say time heals, which is crap, love heals. We need love from people to help us heal. I find that love in music.
So sorry for your loss. Cannot imagine the pain but can send the love. Man hugs to you sir. Keep on.
🫶🏼
Both love wasn't enough to heal all the loss I have had and it took a lot of time a lot of time and honestly I think as people trickled out if my life is when the pain stopped but that could have been a coincidence with time. Everyone is different but the only thing that kept hope in my heart was what I thought was a bs sentiment "time heals"
🌑♾️🪽
Beautifully said. I’ve lived through so many losses, including my entire immediate family to tragic and untimely deaths and to me it’s that it takes making new happy memories to offset the grief and horror of the horrible ones and joy to offset the pain, but love is intrinsic to that. Ironically, it can be harder to come by when you need it most and despite where death and loss may seem to bring people together it frequently does the opposite, tears people apart and is very isolating. I felt utterly in what you said, though and that’s one reason I frequently feel survivors are the best people to know, and best people of all.
"There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection" has to be some of the best lines I've ever listened to. So strong
I don't have any tattoos and I've REALLY considered that line as my induction to ink... It's a mantra for me now
Nothing goes to the grave with you but you. We all experience death alone and empty handed.
I'm in my late 40's sitting here with tears in my eyes... This song is nothing but a masterpiece... The music, the voice, the lyric, every second of this song is pure perfection.
That's true
A revolutionary
Agreed
Well said
I agree me too
My mother passed away a little over a year ago. I could say that it is inevitable to feel the bitter taste, however, with the passage of time, her absence has given me the courage to find her everywhere. Mirian I will look for you for the rest of my life in a street full of people or in people calling me by my name, in the love that you left and in the most beautiful corners that you filled with brightness, I love you I hope to see you again. Thank you for loving me these 22 years, you are too much.
My 32 year old son Travis passed away February 10, 2024 😭😭💔💔My only child 💔😭 He was a good soul with many struggles and tried so hard to find himself and fit into this world. I love him and miss him so much 😭😭😭💔💔💔
So sorry about the loss of him
@@pascalpascal3643 Thank you 😭💔
@@donnamillsify 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
So sorry for your loss.
May he rest in peace
Listening to this song is either an intense epiphany, a spiritual awakening or a mental breakdown, maybe all three at once. I'm so thankful that I can experience something so beautiful ❤️
exactly
I have the same reaction(s) every single time I listen to this song.
Yup, you can listen to this song over and over and each time you do, you feel something different every time. Powerful song.
YES!!
Oh...my...God ❤ so beautiful, straight to my heart. Love this 🙏 Thank you.
This is what music is about. I've on and off dealt with depression for over a decade since my teens and it's music like this that has always got me through it. Thank you so much guys.
I can say the same but I’m now 53. Find what sustains you and fight. For me it has always been music as well.
❤
@@indylar there is something about music. It just has this calming effect. I just hope more people can come across this masterpiece and feel like fighting a little more.
Sending you light and love.
❤❤ your a warrior❤
Found this song just right now in 2024 and I can surely say this is a pure masterpiece ♥️
So true found it in nov 1st 2024
Found it … But nothing matter
But i love this song
Me too! About a month ago.
As a man who has only in the last year finally healed from an agonising childhood. One of my greatest struggles is the fight to keep my children free of the trauma and agony. This song feels like an acknowledgment of the pain a parent feels in their efforts to protect their children from the darkness we can bring into their world. It brings me to tears every time.
As a parent of two and uncle to two, i just came across this song and idk why it felt so bitter sweet that it made me tear up, all I can say is, this song makes me realized whatever childhood and adolescent trauma I have, I want my kids and nephews to never be affected or see my pain, I want to shelter them from the dark side of life..I believe things happen for this very reason
As another of childhood trauma I'm so utterly touched by the comments here. The dear sweet acknowledgement of the suffering we endured. I realy feel humbled to be amongst you x
thank you for sharing 🫂
Same

Most underrated music ever. This is a masterpiece.
40+ million views: loads of us are going thru some shit right now and we dont under-rate it. Think maybe this is a niche that not everyone needs all the time.

totally agreed but shit like rolling stones is still more popular, music is such a fucked up industry
There is nothing you keep there is only your reflection!
I'm 75 years old, music is my all...this is the all time favorite bar none...blows me away every time...WOW !!!🎼🎶❤️👍
Same here. It is Amazing 😻 ❤️❤️❤️
Can you give us a little bit of wise or advice thank u🙏 ☺️
I’m 44 and I feel the same mate. Music is everything.
As someone who's childhood was pure hell - now a mother I struggle daily. What a beautiful reminder to keep going - and cherish those babes.
So sorry to hear of the "pure hell" of your childhood sweetie! As with all things, good or bad, we learn, and hopefully take something away, and use it in a positive way, later in life! Hope all is well for you now!!!!
I feel this to my core
Sounds to me you grow to a strong Woman, believe in yourself and make your kid(s) the world to Heaven!
Why did you say this on TH-cam
@@ballardfrogman um bc she wanted to. This song obviously hit a soft spot and reminds her of what she went thru. Have you ever listened to a song that just meant something? If not i feel sorry for you
It's 2 am. All alone listening to this masterpiece. My brother died in a freak road accident in November of 2011 just 3 days before I was supposed to get married. All his memories are in my head and I will keep cherishing them as long as I am alive. "There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection"
So close yet so far. Stay safe everyone!
❤
That line stays with me. My 31 year old son and only child died May 21 2022. I will survive, but I'll never be the same. I'm 61 trying to live a life he would be proud of, but if God took me tomorrow I'd be OK with that. It's not just losing him, it's losing all the plans we had to do things together, all the future I hoped for gone with the end of my family name, all the calls and texts I can no longer make to share something funny. ...I don't just listen to this song, I FEEL it. I miss you Hunter and can't wait to see you again😔
Magnifique
whoever reading this: u have a very good taste in music
Ya know sugars... I can agree. However, it REALLY sucks when we can be right next to someone and be completely and utterly ALONE. IM 46, and the shit NEVER gets any easier.
Thanks. I get nervous sometimes when music like this gets overlooked and songs like Anaconda have a billion plus views. It's literally frightening. lol
Right in the feel
@@jennifergregg3420 I am 33 and its not easy now...ugh no one really prepares you for this
Hey you too, you're great!!!
I’ve been fighting cancer for two months, and I been able to keep my head high, but I finally let myself break down with this song… and it felt good…
All the hugs brother. You've got this! Remission since late '18 myself. The fight gets really hard...really hard, especially near the end... but the joy when you finish that last treatment is worth it.
sometimes music is the best medicine.
Mike, Sending You Hug’s 💟&☮️ and Bestest day’s Ever, Forever!! Peace&Respect, Shelley
From one Mike to another you’ve got this brother. I just lost half my left kidney to cancer. 2 weeks ago. Now cancer free. Praying for you my friend.
Hey, Mike, be strong. You can fight it and win over cancer. But only if you believe you can and have the will to beat it. Only in the west, the word C is not to be spoken. In Asia you Co exist as they rarely do surgery and chemo is not advisable. Let me k ow if I can help, I'm not for big pharma prescribed drugs. I believe in Holistic approach. Love you bro ❤
I'm jealous of the people who are hearing this for the first time !!!
Edit : Sorry for the delayed responses guys, glad we all share the same energy :)
It's my first time to hear this band... And I feel like a bird... I want to fly crying... I want to feel me free!!
So far so good
Liking the pick up
the video was playing for some seconds, while i was scrolling through comments an read yours. thank you, you made me stop anything i was doing, and just listen. this is a masterpiece of music!
Just found this from my friend. I cried! Woo
Wow, from the heart. Don't see that too often.
2018 was the hardest year of my life - Our daughter Candice passed away due to complications in removing a tumour on her kidney. She was 35 and has two little one's, Rachie (4) and Abigail (20 months). She was an amazing mother, wife, freedom fighter, daughter and most importantly, friend. I can't express how much we miss her. Andy and team , this song is legend, I listen to it all the time. All i can can say is this. Let's appreciate our kids for the gift they are; they are not ours, they are entrusted to us by God. We have a huge responsibility> Thank you
My girlfriend is 35 and has cervical cancer and now she has leukemia and a failing liver from all the chemo. Very hard to watch someone you love go through something like this and you feel powerless to stop it. We have a 10 yr old daughter who idolizes her mother and it breaks my heart to see her watch her mother getting closer and closer to death. Im sorry for your loss Paul.....i truly understand what you are going through.
@@sleuth2077 Hey Sleuth, I went cold reading your message. I am so sorry you have to walk this road. It's hard, very hard and few truly understand what you are going through. One feels so helpless. I don't know you but know this, I genuinely feel your pain. Music has always been my refuge, more so the last four months. Stay strong Sleuth for your partner and that little girl.
I lost a child also!
I'm a father of two girls 9 and 5 years old, I have been their provider and protector since birth and I will remain that until death.
I can not know your pain, only you know the weight of that crown.
May your pain be healed and peace let in your heart.
Paul, I am so terribly sorry for the loss of your daughter. We aren't supposed to lose our children before us and it leaves an empty space filled with nothing but the hopes that in time the Lord will fill that with His love and peace. I lost my twins and I struggle to make it through each day. I have my daughter and she is the only reason I can even stay here. Trying to be a good parent when you are sick has taken all my strength but His strength and grace keep my head just above water. I understand your pain and I hold you and your wife and grandchildren in my prayers. Christ Jesus bless and be with you and your family.
Sometimes you just gotta listen to this song 50 times in a row
Yes ❤❤
50 times... I can relate to that...
Frrrrr
Exactly, over and over again
...and I do
One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard, and I didn't know this band existed until about nine minutes ago.
Xeno Zombie you’re in for a ride.
omg you’re missing out!!
@@lexiloo77 Not anymore, at least. ;)
Listen to 'I can feel a hot one'. That was their only song i listened to before this.

Again, the voice of the unborn....the voice that will never say "I Love you Mom"...The voice that will tell you that your child will take good care of you, when you are old....please, fathers, step up....they belong to you.....
My son passed 2:28 away from an overdose at my house. After they removed his body for the last time, I went to put a favorite song that we shared and this song for no reason was on TH-cam when I put TH-cam on. It's become a tribute to my son. I play this song several times a day. I absolutely love it and I love and miss my son
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope he rests in peace, and I wish you much strength.
😢
@@tiredofit4761 I am tremendously sadden by your life at this time. I will pray for you and your son

I am so so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of love❤
This was my little brother's anthem. We listened to it daily for the last few months. We spent so much time together and had been through so much with only each other for support. He took his own life 3 days ago and all I can hear is him promising me he wouldn't leave me here. I just realized I'm not ready to hear this song yet.
I‘m so sorry for you loss William! Wish you all the Love and healing your Soul and Heart needs Right now. Take your Time to grief! You and your Brother Are Never apart, his Soul will actually Never Leave you, he hears and sees everything you Go through - maybe This Song Can & will always remind you of that you actually are never alone .. Much Love from Germany
sorry to hear rhat.. love from india
My heart breaks with you. It's ok to cry!! You have to continue on and feel it all. I want you to know you are not alone in this world. We could never make sense of life, it's meaning, the good, beauty, hurt, grief, pain, joy, love, sorrow. The definitions are endless and at the end of the day we have no other choice but to continue. I have a hard time even writing these words bc I don't know that I even believe them. But we are going through life wether it feels real or not. I just want you to know you are not alone even though your brother is gone. He's still around you, it's not forever, it's only till next time!! I'll be sending you lots of love and strength to help you during such a hard time. ❤
But if it kept him alive then...it does now. Now live out what you aspire yourself to be like he was ...how he smiled, made ppl laugh, was kindred...etc...and then your living ,he's living, and the song is living...energy never dies . It can only transfer,transfer,or best of all transform darling beloved live it all out.dont fall victim...become warrior in this moment on. Live your life ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sending you hugs, positive vibes; I can’t feel your pain but I remember the pain of losing my brother.
I don't now if I can express how I feel about this song, it has every moved me so much. 23 years in a horrible abusive marriage, in all ways and extremely emotional. I listen to this now ironically in a brand new cruiser at the end of my street, sunset point and tears pour. But now they're cleansing tears, thankful tears, tears of hope and joy. I'm in so many worlds. A paradise, a hell, hope, endurance, confusion, rage, dare I live another moment.
God bless you everything is going to be ok leav it god s hands
Only one thing to do now...... LIVE.... Take your new soul for a ride it's never dreamed of.💪
Sorry sweetie! In time these emotions will fade! I only wish I could help speed the process you know!
All the best to you Michelle, take care an keep believing in yourself and in the better fate you deserve.
Live life and love yourself. Life's goes on , make your story a happy one. I recently thought I'd lost it all through bad choices but amazingly it's worked out fingers crossed. Live every moment you've got. X
Just brilliant. I’m in my mid sixties, and I’ve been music-obsessed for most of those years. And I’m genuinely obsessed with Manchester Orchestra! So well written, so tightly delivered, and Andy’s voice is one of the most compelling I’ve ever heard!
Hello person reading this, if this reaches anyone. we're from different parts of the world, we lead different lives, we are different people. but yet, this piece, this video, has brought us together. and I will never meet you, but just remember we're still connected by this piece- by simply listening to it, together. it's crazy how the internet can bring people together, huh? and I hope you're doing more than "okay," and if you aren't, remember: you will be okay, and that's a promise. please be easy on yourself- it's been a tough year, I know, but we're almost over it, and you will be happy. I don't know how much you'll remember of this, but I'm glad that our lives intertwined in this little way. have a nice day, or night, and lastly, nice life...
Thank you
Thank you
It has been a tough year and a half . I think we all need to know we will all be ok and what better way than with great music like this . Thank you from a stranger in Texas and happy life to you as well. 😊
verdade! thank you! brazil!!!!!
Thanks from Germany 🙏🏻✌🏻
This song brings me to tears. I’m a grown ass man 34 and it’s hard to compose myself hearing this. Just amazed, makes me realize I can still feel after so much and becoming numb and cold.
Yea life can feel pointless when you hit a certain level of numbness and coldness inside. Like the anchor keeping you grounded has run off and left you to fly off into the void
Feeling is living my friend
Feeling is living my friend
Took the words right out of my mouth man. 35 here. This song just hits me in my core. . . Keeps it real man. Cheers!
People here who are new to Manchester Orchestra I implore you to listen to the full album it is absolutely amazing!
That'd be my remaining heroin shots (metaphor lol)
Doing it now
Will follow this advice. These guys are really amazing.
Fabuloso
Will do, thank you.
Robert when you prayed and you found yourself and the voices stopped im so glad for you but what i truly believe is that you spoke to the god within you and your soul and higher self and you are god cus you come from god and i wish people would thi k that for minute. You search him within you and find the creator full circle back yourself. Atleast thats what he showed me when i asked him to teach me and he said dont pray just listen you and me are one
I felt this ...hard. Made me smile. Very well said.❤ Thank you.
@@conniemink672 Yes thank you. I needed to hear this tonight
I believe that too. Granted they were during periods of psychoses but it stuck with me.
I lost my dad 2 years ago and this song was the emotional release I needed. It was incredibly painful to listen to this most of the time, but I kept coming back, somehow it was important to feel through the pain and this song helped me connect to that pain. It still hurts to listen to this, but there's lightness mixed into the heaviness now, a lightness of joy in having known my dad and everything he meant to me. To those going through loss and grief, just know that you're not alone. You are loved, and while the pain never fully goes away, it transforms eventually into strength, love and appreciation xx
the strength it requires to allow ourselves to truly experience the pain that comes with an experience as final and shattering as the loss of someone so engrained in our very being, is in and of itself, a very respectable thing. i’ve felt a lifetimes worth of feelings in the past two years. so trust me, i empathize with you. this song did the same thing for me. it broke down the walls. his voice transmits the emotion with so much energy it’s palpable.
Hugs-◇♡
He rest in peace and I'm pretty sure he is so proud of you, you will continue with his love
Hugs from Brazil, buddy
I lost my dad this last July 5th. Since then, I just feel like a pinball, bouncing off walls & barriers & places I don't belong. The worst part is that I never had one real convo with him about how I really felt, what I truly believed, things I wanted to do, what hurt me... I knew most of his story, but why do we get scared of showing what we're really made up of? I wish I could've shared that with him.
Why do I deserve the silence to feel better about you?
At a loss I lost my cool
I denied that I found you
I tried to be a basket case
I did not surprise you
I'm trying to find a signal fire
Let me know when I should move
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
Why do I desire the space?
I was mourning after you
I was lost and lost my shape
There was nothing I could do
I don't want to waste away
It was all I gave to you
Take me back and take my place
I will rise right up for you
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
All the while you waste away, you're asking
Did I really need another one to take me down?
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with, darling
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
There was nothing but quiet retractions
And families pleading, don't look in that cabinet
There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there
That was something your father had burned in me
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
You can go anywhere but you are where you came from
Little girl, you are cursed by my ancestry
There is nothing but darkness and agony
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Let me watch you as close as a memory
Let me hold you above all the misery
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
The poetry, alone, is outstanding. This, plus the singer and band make for an oft-repeated experience. Thank you
Not many people know this song. Late and loving it
It's like something from a fever dream 😢❤

My name is Christopher Jon; I'm a musician and photographer. I lost my first born daughter August 23rd 2021; her name was Sophia Grace Smaragdas; she was 5 years old. This song helped me get past the most difficult times of my life. I owe you guys more than you know!
all the best for you from the other side of the world 🙂
Love and comfort to you.
We are with you brother! ❤️🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love and strength my brother
Anyone especially love the realizations that ultimately in relationships there really isn't anything you keep but a reflection and that part of the song hits so hard everytime
As a man with a 5 month old daughter; the last verse of this song had me literally in tears. I pray she has all of my good and none of the curses of my ancestry. Powerful beyond words.
As a single father who raised my daughter until her recent 18th birthday, I prayed for this to, all my life. Unfortunately it has caught up with her. I sent this song to her to show it's my fault, not hers. Love her tightly mate, there is nothing like the love of a daughter for their father.
This is one of those times when TH-cam algorithm hits the spot, thank god i found this, this is amazing.
yup lol
I agree
Inosth wow me too two days ago just freaking powerful
same here ^^
Agree. Now I'm totally lost in this wonderful Masterpiece!
Lyrics:
Why do I deserve the science
To feel better about you?
At a loss I lost my cool
I denied that I found you
I tried to be a basket case
I did not surprise you
I'm trying to find a signal fire
Let me know when I should move
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
Why do I desire the space?
I was mourning after you
I was lost and lost my shape
There was nothing I could do
I don't want to waste away
It was all I gave to you
Take me back and take my place
I will rise right up for you
But you, amplified in the silence
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Magnified in the science
Anatomically proved that you don't need me
All the while you waste away, you're asking
"Did I really need another one to take me down?"
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
There was nothing but quiet retractions
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet
There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there"
That was something your father had burned in me
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
You can go anywhere but you are where you came from
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
There is nothing but darkness and agony
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Let me watch you as close as a memory
Let me hold you above all the misery
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
Thank you

Can't believe I just discovered this band and track. This song, the singer's voice... it freakin hits like no other. Slams my soul and emotions all at once. Amazing.
This is one of the greatest bands ever, I hope you find some of their other songs and albums to be just as amazing cause they have so many other amazing tracks
Totally agree with you. I felt like I was living under a rock when stumbled on this band just now.... the song cuts deep....1000 cuts....
Keep listening 😌 this has been my favorite band for 14 years and it has been a thrilling ride. Once you discover Andy Hull, you discover so much more than just Manchester Orchestra. He has endless side projects as well and his voice knows no bounds. His music is invaluable to me and has quite literally saved my life more than once. The thought of living without it is unimaginable to me at this point.
Enjoy the ride ♡
Look up "Where Have You Been" by these guys. It's one of my favs
I just found it too.
How the hell am I just now discovering this band? I'm getting tired of hitting the replay button, never tired of this song...its an epic masterpiece.
Welcome.
Dont you love finding new music here?
Hahaha...same here, replaying the third time now before your comment.
Same
Agreed

I’m sorry for your loss, that would break me. I can’t imagine loosing my Jessica. My heart goes out to you.
I'm so sorry for your pain and true suffering. 💜💜💜
I’m so sorry for your loss. May your wife’s memory live on in your heart and in the music you shared with her. ❤

I lost my son at a year and 3 months. This song has always carried me through my downward spirals. I hope this band knows how much they truly help people going through life in all colors.
Jesus, Kaitlyn. I'm so damn sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine that kind of pain. My heart cries for you.
@@irish7460 you have no idea how appreciative that is. Thank you for your comment. 💙
@@irish7460 id love to be pen pals if your up for it!! Thanks again for your comment!
Feel your pain sister. 20 months ago same faith knocked on my door and took my youngest. Life is tough but if we're still here and this is our journey we can't waste a day. We have to live our fullest as that's what our sons would be doing if they were still here with us. They want to see us happy as we would want to see them happy if it was the other way round. ❤️ u

stunning song. rock never dies.
I wrote a good friend's eulogy listening to this song a few years back after he took his own life. 15 years of active duty weighted to heavily upon his mind and he is still missed to this day. RIP Tani
RIP Tani, thank you for your service.
Until Valhalla dear sister
Til Valhal bro
@Snoozebutton I av stood on that chair in my flat with a noose around my neck the reason I'm still here is my son would of been the first to find me , if I'd been in the park at that time I would of jumped .every day sueside comes into my mind.
I suffer from a serious illness that has robbed me of so much. I listen to this song when I need the power to carry on. Thank you.
I'm near speechless..Stumbled across this track and it brought me to tears. It's been 17 years now since a drug addiction took everything I ever had leaving me broke, alone and very unwell...I rebuilt my life one step at a time and am now happily married with 2 kids and a business..Never ever quit. Thank you for this utterly amazing song...
God bless u and your family

Wow! Wow! Wow! This song gets to my soul.
I am a 62 year old black grandma that is totally in love with you guys.
This song is awesome! I luv it, luv it, luv it.
I sure would love to see you guys in concert. Let me know when you'll be in Texas.
Hey Grandma, 78y old Grandpa here, feel the same about this music. Ain't TH-cam great!
upo Smile, your comment made my day. thank you
Just cant stop listening to this its out of this world
What a time to be alive. When music seems to be the only escape from reality.
It has always been like that.
To some of us... Music saves our lives on the daily.. Some of us have nothing but music and our demons to keep us company ❤️
Nah man, watching cnn and fox news and then rage tweeting is the real escape from reality.
@@turbotdi5190 well said mate
Depends on whats your reality.
I have been in a relationship that was the most destructive I’ve ever experienced in my life, I could not begin to imagine one person could be so hateful, mean and full of resentment. I loved her with my whole being, my soul included. She hated me through and through. This song explains everything I experienced with this person. Her silence bruised me everyday. Now, I live everyday praising God I got out before something bad happened. She was completely toxic. I’m single still to this day, but at least I’m free! Peace😎✌️
freedom has no price . sorry for what happened to you
I know exactly how you feel, that was my situation too and like you I got out. Peace and long life my friend.
It's wonderful to be free hope you find true love we all.desreve it ❣but hard to find 🥀🦋
💙✌
