Hi hi hello, yes it's been quite a while
Last time I saw you was when lust was in style
So what's going on?
You know, what's been new?
Oh me? Not much baby, just missing you
My baby blue
You, the only light in this room
Yours, the only blood I can taste
So let's go, I wanna climb through your window
Haven't seen you since my last show
Been restless on my pillow
Common take a walk down memory lane
Things ended pretty badly but a lot has changed
My hearts been empty, my thoughts depressed
What I'm needing baby is your
Your sweet caress
Your soft caress
You, the only light in this room
Yours, the only blood I can taste
So let's go, I wanna climb through your window
Haven't seen you since my last show
Been restless on my pillow
When you get home I'll wait on your porch steps
Really don't want to break up
Can't we just kiss... and make up
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?! your music is absolutely amazing. I can't stop listening to you guys
come have a seat next to us at the table. welcome to The Zodiac ♡
So true!🎶
If Joan Jett, Janis Joplin, and Stevie Nicks had a lovechild it would be Kimi Shelter 🖤 in love with your voice!
I'm a little late to the party but I also get Johnette Napolitano from Concrete Blonde vibes as well.🤘🤘😎
Yeah, I listened to a recent interview with Kimi where she said she never set out to be a singer and assumed that she was just filling in till Starbenders found someone else to sing. Which surprised me, as Kimi has such a great rock voice.
Saw them in El Paso open for Alice In Chains. Kind of blown away, can’t stop listening to them.
Saw them opening for Alice in Houston now I can't stop listening to them and alice in my playlist, got to greet the whole band outside the venue they are a delight, a bunch of cool kids
Saw them in Denver and sadly had to leave the show early from health conditions (first time seeing Alice I was pretty upset man) but I got to see them and my God they were inspiring
That sucks hope you're better and you can see them next time around
Renzokuken Leneyoyo thank you likewise man it was definitely a life goal cut short but if I don't see them I'll be damned if I'm not on stage with them ✊🏽

This band deserves way more recognition
love the singers voice and face. She's bad ass
I only got into this band because of Palaye Royale,but my God,I don't regret becoming a fan.Also,why are they SO underrated!?Their music is freaking amazing.
Mihaela ❤️
Fking truth, i heard one song and im so hooked. Long long time since i was this hyped for a band.
Found this on Spotify and INSTANTLY added to my playlist. It's sooo good.
xry mee too!!
Me too
Me too 😄
Swagger, melody, real rock, harmonies, musicianship - its all here! Finally!!! This band is going to be huge! So happy!!
I discovered this band thanks to Alice in Chains. I love them and this song is wonderful. Its great!
Vedder77 me too!
I just saw an ad for the song "if you need it", and I just loved this band, amazing you guys, they already have a fan in Brazil!🇧🇷🤘🏽
TL;DR if anyone actually sees this: I had quite a night, and something of an awakening listening to this song for the first time a few weeks ago, and I use far too many words expressing my gratitude at discovering this awesome band while at a crossroads in my life. If this doesn't interest you by the second paragraph, I'd skip it if I were you. No judgement, I 100% would understand.
I know this video is four years old now, and as usual I'm late to the party and nobody's gonna be looking at the comments probably. But if anyone from the band juuuuuuusst so happens to stumble across this at some point, I just want you to know that I've been severely chemically depressed so fucking long that it became my normal sometime in my early 30's, and meds have never, ever really done much about it. I feel like a black-and-white character lingering on the edge of a world full of rich, vibrant color. Or to put it in terms that perhaps better fit with me writing this below a music video, I feel like a sad, slow trombone just dragging out low notes and being drowned out by a 20's style swing band on meth. Just, flat and devoid of the peaks and valleys that make life feel like an experience, rather than a jail sentence to get through.
But about three weeks ago this song just happened to pop up in my Discover Weekly on Spotify that I don't listen to so much normally these days, and despite being the type that has to hear a song several times before I start to enjoy it, when this started playing I began feeling some shit welling up deep from my chest, almost in my guts, and before the second chorus started, I don't know if I went manic for a little while or something but I started bawling, but at the same time I was smiling and feeling so incredibly uplifted. More excited by a song in my 40's than, I dunno, probably the first time I heard Cowboys From Hell by my all-time faves Pantera twenty five years ago as a pimply, greasy haired and painfully awkward teenager who only came alive during a guitar riff with some groove to it that only Dimebag Darrell could uniquely produce. I can't play guitar for shit, but I was rocking out so hard playing air guitar that first time, and honestly several more times since then, that my poor dog got anxious and started howling and peed on the floor, since she's never seen me like that in her life. My eyes were so cloudy with tears from simultaneously crying and laughing I could barely make my way to the door to let her outside.
I still don't really understand what happened, but I guess, for a little while anyway, I had a mental breakdown. I cried on and off for hours. I found out that night you can literally run out of tears, and just dry cry. I cried for the mom who kept a two feet long piece of this thick garden hose around, for those days when she needed to take her disappointment in her lot in life out on someone. I cried for the stepdad who had this heavy black nightstick that he said he stole from a cop (which was bullshit, he bought it at the swap meet and he knew I knew it) and since he used to be a pitcher for a little while in the minor leagues could fling that nightstick so hard, even twenty or thirty feet away and in between Coors Lights and with a perpetually lit Camel Filtered in his mouth, he could decide whether he wanted to leave a red welt on your back, or a dark blue and green bone bruise on your thigh, or put your arm in a cast. Maybe on a special occasion like getting caught drinking, again, at work and getting fired, again, and made fun of by a factory full of rednecks he would just give you a couple pops in the eye and tear your cornea and make you wear an eyepatch for months, across the entire summer and fall so no baseball or football for you that year, or ever again. But like I said, during all of this turmoil stirring in me I was smiling and sometimes laughing too, like all the stuff I couldn't forgive just, I'm not sure how to describe it but it all just sort of looked different to me then. Or no, it's more like I was watching my perception of the past warp almost right before my eyes, in real time. The past didn't change, but maybe I did. It felt like what an expression I've never fully understood the meaning of, "shrugging it off", actually means. Looking at it now, I think I completely understand what that means now.
Of course, it all came back a little since that night, because obviously mental stuff like that doesn't cure itself overnight, but far less intense and easier to manage. Years can't be fixed in hours, regardless of how wondrously visceral and deep a connection music can make with a person. Oh, and back around the beginning of February I caught COVID at my job, before anyone knew what it was, and after a couple weeks in the hospital and some lingering effects from it even today, man did I need a boost. Since that night this song came on and broke me for a night, that's exactly what I got, a boost that has helped me become the living example of the expression "Fuck it." Because, fuck it. Things happen, then they get better. I forgot that for awhile, and the raw power of this song reminded me of that, somehow.
I realize how odd all of this must read, and this is only going to make that worse, but I kind of feel like I fell in love that night, not with a person, and not even just with this song, but with newly rediscovered optimism, or with a more positive and progressive state of mind, it's so hard to describe for me. I started writing again a week and a half ago, for the first time in almost two decades. I suppose that's why I sat down for a couple minutes to write this silly little comment that I felt so compelled to write and ended up spending two hours plus writing and editing (Ha, what editing?) this, whatever it is. I've literally never written anything like this before in my life, and I've definitely never written, or even attempted to write what I can only describe as a bloated, incredibly sappy and unforgivably verbose fan letter to any band ever. It just isn't me despite my lifelong love of music, or so I thought. I've now finally, mercifully reached a point of deep reluctance to actually post this, so I'm going to wrap it up at least, before I decide whether this goes to the recycle bin or not. To get to my point, thank you for writing this seemingly normal, yet inexplicably magical piece of art that for a little while became the soundtrack to the apex of my crisis and, I think and hope, my rebirth. Plus since I first stumbled upon this gem I've done a deep dive on you guys and man, it is a crime against humanity that you all aren't headlining an intercontinental stadium tour. I guess nobody is now, but you know what I mean. You've really perfected that old school cock rock sound, and I'm a fan for life now.
Also, my profuse apologies for the length of this if someone somehow managed to make it to the end. What can I say? I was inspired, and just had to let my brain run with it to get it out and clear my head a bit. Sadly, this was the result of me paring it down, and no I'm not kidding. Hemingway, I am not.
Hello, I wanted to thank you for this comment. The thing is: I've felt more and more depressed recently and I cannot figure out why. I've never had a though time in my life and everything is going great, even with all the crap 2020 has been bringing. This comment has given me hope that I may defeat that scary little parasite in my brain sometime in the close or distant future. All the best to you and your future.
Sayonara!

Might not mean much but KISS saved the life of this then 13 year old suicidal kid. Music has that power. I have always said arts only point is to illicit emotion. Positive or negative that’s it’s job. BTW Cowboys From Hell was a life changer for a lot of us.
This band is special. I bet they are awesome live.
They are
I don't know where to begin! This music video was absolutely incredible! The way the video began by showing a hallway and then panning to a dark lit room where the musicians played really set the tone! The next part was the lead singers voice. I also loved the words of the song, it made me feel the meaning of the music. Overall the production quality was outstanding! 10/10 :)
10/10 from me also!! :)
what meaning do you get from the lyrics "so lets go this song hero- cant understand the lyrics but its a great song
Même impression sur cette vidéo. J'écoute leurs titres en boucle depuis que les ai découverts à la sortie de "London" qui est aussi magnifique \m/
This band should have been / should be bigger than it is.
Epic Voices & Masterpiece Songs Forever Guyz. Appreciate It. Keep It Going. God Bless You.
This is the vibe I've been looking for, for years thank you starbenders
wow, I mean honestly, this track goes far beyond the usual routine
well done starbenders
Damn, this is a great tune... love the low-key, laid back guitar textures in the verses - like waiting for sunrise in some dive bar on the edges of a swamp - and then you guys really crank it up in that chorus, setting fire to the clouds with those stellar riffs and vocals! The stuff of beauty!
Pulled me in right from the start. Just added it to my video playlist! Dope video, I love how it was filmed and the song is amazing. Great work
Beautiful voice! I love this
this is OLD-SCHOOL baby, oooh yeah! lovin' it!
The first time I heard this, I thought it was a previously unreleased Siouxsie Sioux song! Love this band, and 99x is playing this a lot, so happy they are getting exposed!
One of the hottest tracks out there! love it!
Damn this band has it all! Including 70's era Dynamics! Makes me want to turn it up! Great bass playing too.
I love this band so much I've been listening non-stop for weeks. I wish I had discovered them sooner. Every song is so hypnotic and raw.
I really like this f n band it's crazy I've never even heard of them I am out here searching for it too

It makes me upset that this band is so underrated!! Like this is the third song I’ve heard from them and they are so talented!! I love the lead singers voice! It’s so beautiful and angelic!
It's like the 90's have been brought back in full grunge glory. Love it! Hi Aaron.
Tienen una fuerte influencia de Siouxsie and The Banshees , me encanta!
My favorite song from them, so excited to see them in June in Seattle
Thank you for brining back the feeling you get when you here a new great rock song
So proud to have gotten to open for y'all with The Shrünken Heads a couple times in Asheville NC at the Odditorium!! Kimmy and the rest of the band are really awesomely nice people, who kick a whole lot of ass! Rock on y'all and congrats on signing!
I hope you all find the greatest Joy and success in life through your fantastic and heartfelt music Kimmy, You fucking deserve to be successful, you have one the best goddamn vocals I've ever had the privilege of hearing, and your songwriting and guitar playing are superb. You guys all kick mucho ass, and I'm very glad to see a truly great band doing well. I hope it only gets better and better!
Saw them open for Alice In Chains in Tulsa and looooved Kimi Shelters stage presence. Love the sound of her voice too
Beautiful vocalist + awesome song = international fans
Definitely picking up Johnette Napolitano and Concrete Blonde vibes from this song, and that's not a bad thing.
I saw them in concert May 2019, they were an awesome show and definitely deserve to be a headliner in their own tour ❤️
