Lyrics: "An umber tower is quiet and looming before me And I once used nothingness to fill that void Then the sky must have thrown a gauntlet To detour me from the center I knew -And I've never been wrong The winds had changed beyond your shore Now a mattered mane that muffles the lion's roar Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue How I trembled at the knees! Underneath a mask, in the gully I hie And I sank much deeper than I had prepared for Tailing shades coalesced and converged on the walls When I turned, they were nothing! No, nothing at all! O' such beguiling was their boisterous game! My own shadow... now a faceless no one Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue How I trembled at the knees! At sudden, from inside me I felt a rapid disassemble And all around had turned to gloom Still, all around was calm And I raised my fist! But there was no confrontation Just a question had they asked And with the comfort, I gave in An umber tower was quiet and looming before me So I used its gallantry to fill that void Truly, I had embraced that delusion and glory So I guess I don't know what I knew after all Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue How I trembled at the knees!"
i prefer your original works over your cover works. They are great too but the accent makes your original songs so addictive I have listened to this song more than i will care to admit
Been following you for a solid five years or so, listened to everything you've put out, and I always find myself coming back to this song. I can't quite explain why, but Umber Tower just struck a chord with me when I heard it for the first time and I have loved it ever since. Justin, you are a phenomenal musician and I aspire to be at your level of creativity someday.
I dont think you could understand how your songs got me through one of the hardest points of my life i know if id never found you things would have gone a different way i remember when you 3 lived together and all you ate was cheez its lol
I honestly love this version as opposed to the album version. The gain and distortion is just off putting but irregardless of that it's still fantastic
Holy shit. I can't believe I am just now hearing this for the first time. Absolutely amazing. This song has one of the most catchy choruses I've heard anywhere. You are an extremely talented vocalist and musician. I can't wait to go through every song you currently have out at least several dozen times and hope you continue to release more. I can't believe I discovered this after watching your video on how to do metal screams. Also the Jared Dines contest winner song was super amazing also. Have you thought about re-recording that as an album track?
Honestly, I think of him as just his own "genre". His music is so different from most artists I've heard in the rock and metal genres, it's refreshing actually.
Just a suggestion, when i listened to all your album, there were parts that the vocals mixed up with the instruments and hard to hear, but your video like this has better quality sounds. So i guess I'll just stick to TH-cam for now
Unless it's the like kermit the frog kinda rasp thats coming from the throat but i dont think thats related to the screaming and doing that too much might hurt you too

"An umber tower is quiet and looming before me
And I once used nothingness to fill that void
Then the sky must have thrown a gauntlet
To detour me from the center I knew
-And I've never been wrong
The winds had changed beyond your shore
Now a mattered mane that muffles the lion's roar
Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue
How I trembled at the knees!
Underneath a mask, in the gully I hie
And I sank much deeper than I had prepared for
Tailing shades coalesced and converged on the walls
When I turned, they were nothing!
No, nothing at all!
O' such beguiling was their boisterous game!
My own shadow... now a faceless no one
Such a place would leave a sour, familiar taste upon my tongue
How I trembled at the knees!
At sudden, from inside me
I felt a rapid disassemble
And all around had turned to gloom
Still, all around was calm
And I raised my fist!
But there was no confrontation
Just a question had they asked
And with the comfort, I gave in
An umber tower was quiet and looming before me
So I used its gallantry to fill that void
Truly, I had embraced that delusion and glory
So I guess I don't know what I knew after all

Honestly you have the most original voice I've ever heard.
always have to return to this classic. such an epic atmosphere.

Damn man, this is honestly some of the best music I have ever heard. It blows my mind how you do all of this by yourself.

Madness Metal, that's the genre
This is so epic. I love it. You are one of the most talented musicians out there. And you do it all by yourself? You blow my mind. Absolutely amazing.
Omg I love the idea about the genre of your music. MADNESS METAL! FUCK YES!
I dont think you could understand how your songs got me through one of the hardest points of my life i know if id never found you things would have gone a different way i remember when you 3 lived together and all you ate was cheez its lol

Album version reminds me so much of Tool, but they’re both unique in their own ways!
I love how in the beginning when the piano was playing the intro, Justin started moving his lips to it.
I love all of your songs Justin.

You have an amazing voice and are painfully adorable

Best song
From this album i agree, out of all his music i'd say for me it ties as best with The Worst of Evils from HITC
Amazing job with everything you do man keep up the amazing job
All o your songs are just so amazing
god I listen to you all day everyday I'm definitly one of your biggest fans.. I'll continue to share all your videos
You have a very addictive accent when you sing. Did it just come natural to you or did you practice it?
Shannon Swiggart this is no accent, this is simply the voice of a legend. A true Legend.
it's a jamaican legend tho
Do you have a discord ? Would love to talk to you once
This is amazing! Love your voice!!!
I love your music it's so unique and incredible. Please tour Australia! :-D

Awesome dude!
Digging this.. just stumbled across this guy clicking related videos... Crazy talent man. keep it up.. you should get a band to play for you lol
Cool
😍😍😍
Hey man, you've got great ideas, i like the project. Did you played all the instruments?
I like your soul..nice
Best rock ever
Honestly, I think of him as just his own "genre". His music is so different from most artists I've heard in the rock and metal genres, it's refreshing actually.
Yeah he's 110% unique as fuck
Dystopian Prince Tbh Idk what else to call it. Maybe Hungry Lights Rock?
Mouse Cafe Hungry-Metal hahahah?
I'm going with your idea. We shall now call this Hungry Metal
That tool vibes
Just a suggestion, when i listened to all your album, there were parts that the vocals mixed up with the instruments and hard to hear, but your video like this has better quality sounds. So i guess I'll just stick to TH-cam for now
When you do the rasped singing and high screams what does it feel like for you and where does it "feel" like its coming dude?
Rasp in the throat
Any scream/growl/fry/inhale will feel like its from the chest or diaphragm.
Shadowy Horizons If it's coming from the throat shit's wrong stop youre gonna hurt yourself.
Unless it's the like kermit the frog kinda rasp thats coming from the throat but i dont think thats related to the screaming and doing that too much might hurt you too
he has done 2 tutorials on how to do screams.
check those out
I enjoy this song. I need someone new to listen to. Please add your music to joox.
