      people prefer their most commercial songs, like amsterdam. i love their most introspective ones. like this one, if i get high, excuse me, graveyard whistling... conor really channels jeff buckley and some thom yorke in all of those.

      @@deneon2209 If I get High, Graveyard Whistling just about any song they have written. They are very thoughtful young men, with strong minds, deep souls and real passion & compassion. They keep getting better and better, I just wish they could tour all of the time. They even care about the sound quality at their shows. Clean, clear sound without distortion. Connor's voice is an instrument of rare strength and delicacy. Just the quality of the sounds he produces can bring me to tears. It is absolutely amazing sometimes. Gawd!

    This was the first nothing but thieves song I ever heard. Back in 2018 when the album just came out.
    It always had a place in my playlist even though back in the day my playlist contained mostly cheesy pop and I barely had a music taste.
    One lovely summer day a year later my playlist recommendation me two songs by the name ‘Amsterdam’ and ‘Painkiller’ and it al began. I fell in love with alternative rock and this band.
    I bought an e guitar and am currently learning everything that NBT ever put out. I don’t know why but their music just clicks with my brain perfectly!! Connors voice is truly magnificent as I would be lying if I didn’t say that Dom Craik is my guitar hero and ow how much I wish to be just like him.
    If not NBT, I would have never picked up the guitar, made many friends, enjoyed rock and metal music and most importantly come out as non binary last month :)
    Don’t know why but their music just makes me feel brave and like I’m truly being myself!

    [Verse 1]
    Afterlife
    Oh, what a terrible thought
    'Cause I've lived without you once before
    We don't, we don't have to do this again
    Please don't, please don't make me start this again
    No my love
    Your beauty will consume me in the end
    [Chorus]
    It was only ever you
    It was only ever you
    My baby, it feels like a lifetime
    Oh god, I don't think I could do two
    [Verse 2]
    Afterlife
    You can tell your god he can keep his salvation
    And if you like, the angels can fly into the sun
    We don't, we don't have to do this again
    Please don't, please don't make me start this again
    [Chorus]
    It was only ever you
    It was only ever you
    My baby, it feels like a lifetime
    Oh god, I don't think I could do two
    [Bridge]
    My soul is tortured with love and lust and hate
    My cracked lips are unkissed for a million days
    My infected heart, it's bleeding in this cage
    I'm losing my dignity, not got long left to wait
    [Chorus]
    It was only ever you
    It was only ever you
    My baby, it feels like a lifetime
    Oh god, I don't think I could do two

      Some of the most beautiful songs ever were made with someone's unhappiness. I doubt he meant it in a negative way. I agree with you about this song. It begs to be listened to, over and over again. Speaking of, Amsterdam as well. Oh, and Sorry. And Particles. I Was Just A Kid. The entire Broken Machine album is so amazing.
