thats because these musicians were big bands before the youtube era. Intsead had album sales, television views on music stations like Much Music, MTV, BET, etc and radio success. Magazines too
It is not 2023. I do not even know if Much Music is still a thing. I haven’t had cable in a decade. It’s super surreal to see comments on this video. Commenters interacting with posts from years ago. Super neat!
Same! Was playing old songs from high school on spotify and this song popped in my head but couldn't remember the name or lyrics. I remembered that this was with their new lead singer so i did a Google search of rock bands that changed lead singers, and once I saw "I Mother Earth" I knew I had found it. Such a great song but ITS NOT ON SPOTIFY 😢 I'm heartbroken...oh well, guess I'll have to enjoy it on here
I met Christian Tanna about 20 years ago at the NorthWood in Haliburton. He was playing drums there with another band. I told him I love this song like the sun. He goes "really, man, thanks I wrote it" Great moment in my life
The singer brought the band to his home town and the crowd showed their appreciation by chanting we want Edwin. They also tossed a boot at the singer of Queens of the Stone Age. The we wonder why we can’t get any good bands.
Been a fan of IME since the Edwin days:) However, as awesome as Ed was, I much prefer Brian. Awesome talent. Saw IME live many yrs ago at the Savoy Theatre in my hometown of Glace Bay, NS Canada...Brian kicked major ass...climbing all over shit and other general craziness...one of my fave shows I have ever been to in the 30 yrs I have existed:):):)
I think (only my opinion) Dig is perhaps the best album from the perspective of looking at it like a complete work. It flows, it hauls ass. Front to back. I feel like its a story in its own. However the two best songs the band has ever done I feel are this one and All Awake. Stunning songs. Simply gorgeous. I just felt like the latter two albums were more uneven tho. Like they had some amazing songs, but had their share of filler. I ended up kind of mashing them together in a way i felt flowed well and was a great album full of songs. In that its amazing.
In light of my present mess In light of my mental weather's turn In light of all the crash and burn I'll open my mind as wide as ever The lie behind the lesson, the soul in the open well It might have been fate, It might have been fortune It might have been wine and a mellow head I'm finding my way, Finding the words One body breaking Someone come and rise up Rise like the sun If I am no one, Somebody save me Someone come and rise up Pride doesn't own me now But know that at times life kinda hurts And know that I will live and learn So more than survive, I will endeavour The mind behind the message, Alone on an ocean swell It might have been grace, It might have gorgeous It might have been why I've settled in I'm finding my way, Finding the words One body breaking Someone come and rise up Rise like the sun If I am no one, Somebody save me Someone come and rise up Rise and show A helpless man, a held out hand Defining images that flow through my hope's Surrender the broken moments and pointing fingers The closing of open minds I might have been delayed, I might have been delirious I might have been otherwise Taking hammer blows Like an animal For others So heavy was my weight I'm finding my way Finding the words One body breaking Someone come and rise up Rise like the sun You'll find the world Somebody save me Someone come and rise up I'm finding my way, Finding the words One body breaking Someone come and rise up Rise like the sun If I am no one, Somebody save me Someone come and rise up Rise and show Show us Something
They both brought a different style to the table. I liked edwin and I know he was the original but I have to say that i personally liked bryan more. Not for just the fact that he lived pretty damn close to me bit i like his voice more. There is also more nostalgia behind his songs for me than edwins.
I mother Earth got better with every album despite the singer, brian byrne was luckily with them for the top two albums of their career! so good! nothing has ever had the same sound previous or present! man i miss them
So Gently We Go, No One. Anything from their first album. This song is from their last album, whci in my opinion is not mainstream at all, but others think it is!
I have quite an extensive list of bands that I love. But if I were stranded on a desert island and had a choice of five albums, they would be Lateralus by Tool, Superunknown by Soundgarden, Purple by STP, Tales from the Punchbowl by Primus and Scenery and Fish by IME. I know Edwin's a douche bag and everything, but I remember the summer of 1996 at Edgefest in Barrie, these guys blew Our Gaydy Peace off the stage. Too bad they couldn't resolve their differences. They would have been huge.
I dunno.. I'm a little old (31), but I absolutly loved the two albums with Ed. Dig and Scene both sounded very original (Dig especially). But this, and I'm not trying to start shit, this just sounds like evry other top 40 rock band out there right now. Just one man's opinion. Dig and Scenery are AWESOME albums if any newer IME fans have not heard them, do yourself a favor and give them a listen for a few weeks
This concludes my saga of trying to remember this song. I was initially half remembering a partial lyric from the intro to “Summertime in the void,” but also knew the song had the word “Sun” in it somewhere. So I used ChatGPT and the Claude AI (by Anthropic) to try to figure it out. I even tried that “Ask Akinator” app 😂 I told the two AIs that the music video had the lead singer singing directly into the camera and he had longish hair and maybe a toque. ChatGPT actually wrote, “Longish hair and possibly wearing a toque doesn't narrow it down much in the realm of 2000s rock or alternative music.” Eventually, the Claude AI spat out “I Mother Earth,” and I remembered the song title “Summertime in the void.” I thought it was case closed as it had the keyword I was looking for in the lyrics - “nexus.” But after watching the music video, it didn’t seem correct. No singer singing directly to the camera with longish hair and (maybe) a toque. So I searched for “I Mother Earth” music videos, and here we are. #coolstorybro
dad "Hears song on the radio" blasts volume up Child: Daddy? what's this song I like it Father: like the sun I mother earth i listened to this song when i was a kid Child: dad ill treasure this 4 ever
he did two solo albums as well a reunion with IME with 3 songs, one in 2012 and two in 2015 then he left IME about a year later and did work with radio then he did another band called bonds of mara which he is not with anymore (the guy from hail the villain took over from him) and now i don't know what he does now
@witness10643 I will agree that Finger Eleven started in 1989 as Rainbow Butt Monkeys and I Mother Earth started in 1990, but every time I have seen Finger Eleven live (3 time in total) they were opening for I Mother Earth. Hence the me thinking they stole the do from Jag. But either way it doesn't really matter, lots of people have the same haircuts :)
actually Edwin went solo and had some good stuff check out Alive, Hang Ten and others. Now he sings in a band called crash karma with some new good stuff out....
@witness10643 OK gotcha now. I think the style of guitar was a part of the era as well. A lot of bands were doing that at the time and a few still do for that matter. As to the band line up, the only person in IME that isn't original is the Singer. Edwin left and was replaced by Brian. Something you may not know too, Jag is the writer of the group.
This and Rain WIll Fall are my favorite IME tunes. I didn't like much of the Byrne era (He's a fellow NFLDer tho!!), but this song is IME at their best no doubt.
@@patrickgrondines7997 Dig is by far the most even and cohesive album on the whole, while I think the absolute best songs were from byrne. I found the 2 latter albums more uneven with their share of filler. But still worth getting none the less.
oh man. you and me both. i really like f11's self titled album as well but i know a lot of the older fans (and i count myself in this. i've been following them since the first album) don't like it, but i really do. after that... i just can't do it. but those first three records and beyond good
I got all of their stuff - its hard to say if one is better than others. They all got some really strong songs and some weaker ones, too. I liked both singers. I think QSMD is their most balanced, most intrique and most complex material they produced. Too bad they are not around anymore. When I am in bad shape, all I have to do is to spin their stuff and all of sudden the wolrd is a better place for me.
I have always loved IME, I was sad to see Edwin go after Scenery & Fish. You could tell his musical influence on IME as the change of sound after he left. Still great music and a great sound.. But my favorite song is probably still "The Earth, Sky & C"
@regan4000 IME just announced two shows in Toronto in March, so they are back in a sense. They haven't made any commitment to make any new music, but I think they want to play it by ear. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
@SlippyGraaz I don't know what happened there. I want to listen to this song when I'm drinking which is not to often now. I realize it is past the days I was crowd surfing at Edgefest having a blast, but I just want to live the dream.
I followed these guys from the beginning, and I love their music but it might be a good thing that they broke up before selling out or starting to suck like so many bands do. Now we can remember them as great, instead of watching them deteriorate.
you wont find any of there good older stuff on youtube but he does rip it as does the bass and drums usually..this is more generic then there old stuff its more progy too...i dont know what happened to them haha hope that helps

Criminally underrated band & in particular, this album.
this song is powerful ❤️🔥
Truth❤
It's sad how so many of these AWESOME songs on here have so very little views, compared to the millions a Justin Bieber vid gets.
fuck Justin Bieber, I Mother Earth is better then that dickhead
patrick grondines girl go fuck yourself why r u even comparing these 2
IME was SOOO important to me in my youth - pre and post Edwin, they rock!
thats because these musicians were big bands before the youtube era. Intsead had album sales, television views on music stations like Much Music, MTV, BET, etc and radio success. Magazines too
It's truly criminal
Blue Green Orange is my favorite. They did a real good job on that one.
But why did you write it for Quicksilver dream I know a reply 16 years later I was born after the comment yet I know this song pretty cool right
I miss the year 2003 when Muchmusic used to play good music like this and I'm missing the good times.
Much Music now is garbage
It is not 2023. I do not even know if Much Music is still a thing. I haven’t had cable in a decade.
It’s super surreal to see comments on this video. Commenters interacting with posts from years ago. Super neat!
You have to see them live. As great as their recordings are, them playing live is amazing. Great musicians.
Agreed 100%. They stole the show from our lady peace when they opened for them at a show just before Brian left/got kicked out.
@@jackdough8164 fucking kick ass live band!!!
@@jackdough8164I like Brian more the Edwin, you know why he was?
@@floydsemlow8253he supposedly ghosted the band when he went to audition for stp, so they called up edwin because they had dates booked
@@kyleh1127 no shit? I did not know that. And I can see why you would have so something.. I mean I dig them both.cheers from the u.s.a
I Mother Earth ROCKED this song last night at The Sound Academy. Mindblowing performance! I'm stoked that these guys are back!
I love this song been listening to it since highschool
Same! Was playing old songs from high school on spotify and this song popped in my head but couldn't remember the name or lyrics.

I had a similar experience tonight! Couldn’t remember the band name or the lyrics, but partially remembered the video.
Their best album IMO. Ya I know no Edwin. Still think it’s the best one. Great tune.
Fuck this song is something else. Such a shame that this version of IME didn’t last longer.
totally agree! Brian brings so much more to the BAND than just having to listen to Edwin 24/7.
15yrs ago. Damn.
I remember hearing this on the radio and that same day saw it on Much Music.
I seriously miss seeing music videos
much is trash now
@@patrickgrondines9520 agreed. A shame both Much and MTV went downhill
@@Struggle.Snuggles ikr
My absolute favorite album of all time is Dig!!! It's so awesome it kicks ass!!!! And is the best album with IME;) no doubts!
I met Christian Tanna about 20 years ago at the NorthWood in Haliburton. He was playing drums there with another band. I told him I love this song like the sun. He goes "really, man, thanks I wrote it"
Great moment in my life
I'm jealous. Im 40 and my brother and I are huge fans and bought a small cottage 10 min from haliburton a few years back.
just won tickets to meet and greet, sit v.i.p and after party tickets for the venue, so stoked! love these guys!
It’s 11 years since you posted this comment. How was it?
God I haven't heard this song in ages, and the first few notes gave me shivers!
Anybody still listening to this in 2021? I am.. ahaha
2023!
THIS SONG ROCKS!!!!
I hated that Edwin left.. but this is such an amazing piece of artwork
Still here after all these years
Wow!!!! Its even off much music!! Good old daya!!!
Great band!
Lovesss it. Pure genius. Rock gods. Come back.
Alone in Nature
You're in my head.
LOVE this song and vid.
The power of their live show really shines through. GAWD I miss going to see them live. :(
Thanks for sharing!
The singer brought the band to his home town and the crowd showed their appreciation by chanting we want Edwin. They also tossed a boot at the singer of Queens of the Stone Age. The we wonder why we can’t get any good bands.
2020 anyone?
Hey shitty year huh?
2023 now!
First comment in years.......this album isn't even on spotify lol great song
God I miss this band...
My uncle is one of the guitarists!
I bet no'one ELSE can sat that!
Probly not, seeing as how theres only guitarist to begin with
Do you have any siblings?
I kneel to him!
tell your uncle he rocks

Byrne has a wicked voice
In light of my present mess
In light of my mental weather's turn
In light of all the crash and burn
I'll open my mind as wide as ever
The lie behind the lesson, the soul in the open well
It might have been fate, It might have been fortune
It might have been wine and a mellow head
I'm finding my way, Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
If I am no one, Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
Pride doesn't own me now
But know that at times life kinda hurts
And know that I will live and learn
So more than survive, I will endeavour
The mind behind the message, Alone on an ocean swell
It might have been grace, It might have gorgeous
It might have been why I've settled in
I'm finding my way, Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
If I am no one, Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
Rise and show
A helpless man, a held out hand
Defining images that flow through my hope's
Surrender
the broken moments and pointing fingers
The closing of open minds
I might have been delayed, I might have been delirious
I might have been otherwise
Taking hammer blows Like an animal
For others
So heavy was my weight
I'm finding my way
Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
You'll find the world
Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
I'm finding my way, Finding the words
One body breaking
Someone come and rise up
Rise like the sun
If I am no one, Somebody save me
Someone come and rise up
Rise and show
Show us
Something
great lyrics to this track

a few good songs on this album. I saw one of there last shows, at georgian college, was awesome
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY UNDERRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jag is an incredible guitarist. Unbelievably creative. Buy the album. Or check out the tunes on the Quicksilver Meat Dream myspace page.
I had to do a double take and realize this comment is 14 years old... Ohh boy how times flew.
..they're back
i mother earth = best lyrics of all time
love this song
best they ever came out with and its epic
And it was a last minute song, record label wanted a single

just search for "Brian Byrne" on Myspace.
a lot of IME fans aren't fans of Brian's solo stuff though.
his solo stuff is very hard to find

and this song was just put together quick, for a single for the record, i believe the record QSMD was done before this song.
actually Edwin went solo and had some good stuff check out Alive, Hang Ten and others. Now he sings in a band called crash karma with some new good stuff out....
Awesome

There's a big difference between selling out/sucking and just changing musically as they get older and go through more experiences.
Good point!

Shit reminds me of early university... Well done IME
Don't make music like this anymore. IME are legends.
My dad once bit a hole in a beer can, not those wussy aluminum ones either, an old school can of genesee cream ale.....

IME is the best band that evr was, especially when the kicked out Edwin
How is this song not on Spotify yet
or itunes
Can confirm that in September of 2023, this song is not on iTunes. I just checked.
Lol
2:13 what a scream
the i mother earth taht sang one more astronaut is no more edwin left the band this guy is a new lead singer.
this song rocks

I don't know what happened there. I want to listen to this song when I'm drinking which is not to often now. I realize it is past the days I was crowd surfing at Edgefest having a blast, but I just want to live the dream.
Strangely enough this song and album are nowhere to be found on streaming services. Anyone know why?
No clue why..but it sucks. This album is stellar!
Will check it. Thx, bro.
LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG!!!!!!!!
Its a common known fact edwin was kicked out because of creative differences
It's like Creed had an alcoholic ne'er-do-well brother who never amounted to anything.
canada has the best music
