i freaked tf out when i found this band back in the day, and fell in love even more after their Unimagine album that showed even deeper lyrics. fucking love this band
This was and always will be me and my best friend's favorite song. He passed away last Friday and I've been listening to this ever since. I'll never forget you Jeffrey.
there is not a single flaw with this band, for their genre and originality of music production i give them an A+ thank you for providing my ears with never ending nectar from the sweetest plant known to mankind.
I agree, but change is hard even if it is necessary. I listen to their new album DIssonants and it will never compare to this Ground Dweller album, but they felt it was needed.
got a tattoo of this song back when it came out, the memory of HLH seeing it at their show in my city still makes me so happy ❤ they were so nice lol. they took pictures on their phones, and i remember alexander saying "im gonna send this to my mom" 😂 sweet boys, i hope you're still doing well.
They performed this yesterday as opening act at the Sleeping With Sirens concert in London. If anything, after seeing them live I must say I love them even more. You could sense how excited they were to be on the stage, and they even took a photo at the end because they wanted to keep the memory. I thought it was so sweet and I'm proud of them :)
I still love this song, ever since it came out. I loved it in 2012 and I will love it for the rest of my life; I am getting the ground dweller cover art tattooed on me in memory of this song! It'll be lit!
"This song is about growing up-being taught to stay grounded while reaching for your dreams, so that you’re stronger and able to keep pushing for them even when you’re knocked down." Hands Like Houses This song is amazing!
"I love the peter pan references " Son you'll walk with no whisper, no sound. Only the feet of the heavy hearted are held to the ground. You've no need to draw the curtains son, throw them wide. Cross the borders between the never and the night. Find the twinkle in your smile, chase it on 'til morning", Past the second star to the right. its like peter telling the kids not to be afraid to come with them and that the adults cant fly because they have heavy hearts. Just a thought
Thank god this band covered one of my favorite songs on the punk goes 90's volume 2 CD, because if they hadn't I wouldn't be listening to their perfection basically non-stop right now. I love them.
Saw these guys live, they are INSANE! The most humble, genuine guys! I met the band and they are great guys, I can't wait for them to come back to Texas!
They have inspired me so much in my life in my darkestmoments and dreadful times, they always put that rare sparkling smike on my face, they have inspired me to agree with who I really am inside and out, they have helped my to confront those bullies and those suicidal thoughts, and they have inspired me to live my life as long as I posibly can, There the reason why I stand up from my self and dont let this world bring me down, hands like houses is like the missing peace of who I am,
When this band came out it certainly had something fresh to offer unique and dream like lyrics, an awesome name, a great and rare vocalist, and one thing that is amazing is the heavy instruments and clean vocals all the time that made this very Good :) just listing some of the reasons I love this band!
Beat me to it haha. I was so relieved when they said that, one of the things I like about them is that they put so much power into their music without ever resorting to screams.
I can't say that these guys SOUND all that unique... on the surface... but the familiarity and generic-ness belies their true nature. Having listened to this album on repeat the past 2 days, I can say without a doubt that these guys are great songwriters in their own right, and most definitely have their musical moments. You don't have to be completely unique or groundbreaking to be talented, and these guys have only helped further prove that to me.
I would rather be a band like HLH than be one of those mainstream bands with a lot of followers but very few hardcore fans. Lets here it for one of most talented bands out of Australia
Banger I have listen to hands like houses a lot when I was a teenager in high school I was a freshman at that time I was about 16 years old when this song came out it was great high school memories of mine this song and band rocks loved them I did discover hands like house when I was sixteen years of age wonderful memories of my teen years love u all 🔥🤟🤘
Always been a major fan of this song because I loved the melodic vocals combined with the heavy instrumentals and finally looked up the real lyrics today and it crushed me in a good way. Really hope I get to see them in concert one day. Guess I picked everything up subconsciously before I knew how much it actually resonated with me.
It makes them unique. Not every band needs screaming. Especially one with such amazing instruments and cleans that would not fit in with screaming. This album has very upbeat lyrics and an upbeat tone, screaming would simply not fit in.
I never heard of these guys before. Then they came through my town and ate at the restaurant I work at, driving a van and towing a trailer obviously on tour. I asked if they were a band and they told me who they were. And they are freaking awesome! Crazy experience......
Don't know if you guys still read the comments, but such a heart (sorry i don't know the word because english it's not my nativa language) song. Like all the Ground dwellers album. Still gonna be my fav album after all this time. A masterpiece, all credits goes to you guys.
This album was so ahead of it's time in the genre when it came out. Absolutely blew me away
It's timeless
i freaked tf out when i found this band back in the day, and fell in love even more after their Unimagine album that showed even deeper lyrics. fucking love this band
@@robertmills3462 I kind of lost interest after Unimagine but I really liked their song Space that they released last year
what genre is this tho? I love it
Shit still banging wht u talking about
And here it is, the song that started it all....
may it never end..
here, here.
Derr Mann honestly, for me, it was Watchmaker
wait a sec, this song is the fisrt one?? holy sh... awesome...
@Donald Veen no, no one does
eat shit
This was and always will be me and my best friend's favorite song. He passed away last Friday and I've been listening to this ever since. I'll never forget you Jeffrey.
He is in a better place, you'll see him soon enough. In the meantime you can relive your memories through this song!
Be strong, friend! You have a beautiful song to remind you of your friendship. Someday you'll meet again. But not now
RIP Jeff :'(
Thanks for the support guys, it means a lot c:
Rip. I hope you find peace in this song like I do. We all are here for u ^_^
there is not a single flaw with this band, for their genre and originality of music production i give them an A+ thank you for providing my ears with never ending nectar from the sweetest plant known to mankind.
LOL that reference tho
1:33-2:06
One of the best verses in music history. Its one of those pieces you never get tired of and wish it was longer
been listening to HLH since this album came out, that verse still gives me chills every time i listen. so good. genuine masterpiece of a song
4 years ago: Amazing.
2016: Still amazing.
Mm hmm
Dissonants really wasn't that great ;-;
Ninjakiwiify Miss this sound. Especially those mystical synths and trenton's Soulful voice and those lyrics too :(
It's hard to accept, but everyone changes their music style. We'll see what HLH will do in the 2017.
I agree, but change is hard even if it is necessary. I listen to their new album DIssonants and it will never compare to this Ground Dweller album, but they felt it was needed.
1:30-2:05
I could listen to a melody like that for hours on end. It's sooo good
i always love how they told the story of peterpan with their own words
Mannnn this song gives me so much nostalgia, 7 years ago doesn't even seem that long ago 😔 Time flies so fast
I remember going on a TH-cam rabbit hole in 2012 and hearing this. Immediately I was hooked. Been my favorite band ever since that day.
2019 and this song still giving me da chills with the intro
Listen to this with ready player one when the Iron giant/Gundum fight mega Godzilla.
Its actually been 6 years. Man I love Hands like Houses
this is still one their greatest songs, it's so visionary regarding the scene they were inserted into! HLH is a hell of a band
My favorite album of theirs!
This is probably one of the most enjoyable songs to play on the drums. The energy and flow is just perfect!
got a tattoo of this song back when it came out, the memory of HLH seeing it at their show in my city still makes me so happy ❤ they were so nice lol. they took pictures on their phones, and i remember alexander saying "im gonna send this to my mom" 😂 sweet boys, i hope you're still doing well.
Pure understatement, they destroyed it when we played Sunday. After we got done performing we saw them later in the day. They're sooo solid live!
I don't believe that it took this long for me to find this awesome band!
This is peak riserecord era.. good old days.
They performed this yesterday as opening act at the Sleeping With Sirens concert in London. If anything, after seeing them live I must say I love them even more. You could sense how excited they were to be on the stage, and they even took a photo at the end because they wanted to keep the memory. I thought it was so sweet and I'm proud of them :)
I still love this song, ever since it came out. I loved it in 2012 and I will love it for the rest of my life; I am getting the ground dweller cover art tattooed on me in memory of this song! It'll be lit!
so awesome.
3:30-3:54 overandoverandoverand...
YESS
all day erryday
I know it is 2016 but is it too late to pre-order this album
Still holds up to this day. Nostalgia city USA for me as well.
"This song is about growing up-being taught to stay grounded while reaching for your dreams, so that you’re stronger and able to keep pushing for them even when you’re knocked down." Hands Like Houses
This song is amazing!
After 9 years, this song still have the special place on my heart
"I love the peter pan references " Son you'll walk with no whisper, no sound.
Only the feet of the heavy hearted are held to the ground.
You've no need to draw the curtains son, throw them wide.
Cross the borders between the never and the night.
Find the twinkle in your smile, chase it on 'til morning",
Past the second star to the right. its like peter telling the kids not to be afraid to come with them and that the adults cant fly because they have heavy hearts. Just a thought
I like how u made that reference
Absolutely brilliant. This song is so poetic and one of their greatest.
Rise definitely got a hold of one hell of a band. I haven't gone a day without coming to this video.
Thank god this band covered one of my favorite songs on the punk goes 90's volume 2 CD, because if they hadn't I wouldn't be listening to their perfection basically non-stop right now. I love them.
*shouts from rooftop*
I HAVE VERY INTENSE FEELINGS ABOUT HANDS LIKE HOUSES
still one of my favorites to hear live
3:31 when two characters are talking at the same time in a subbed anime
Saw these guys live, they are INSANE! The most humble, genuine guys! I met the band and they are great guys, I can't wait for them to come back to Texas!
幾年を重ねても色褪せない名曲。
愛してるぜ。
They have inspired me so much in my life in my darkestmoments and dreadful times, they always put that rare sparkling smike on my face, they have inspired me to agree with who I really am inside and out, they have helped my to confront those bullies and those suicidal thoughts, and they have inspired me to live my life as long as I posibly can, There the reason why I stand up from my self and dont let this world bring me down, hands like houses is like the missing peace of who I am,
Man this brings back memories. I love this band :)
That was so sad, "Time flies so fast"
Then I'm still ain't find my dreams...
When this band came out it certainly had something fresh to offer unique and dream like lyrics, an awesome name, a great and rare vocalist, and one thing that is amazing is the heavy instruments and clean vocals all the time that made this very Good :) just listing some of the reasons I love this band!
absolutely
Seriously. It made me so happy when I saw that they are going on tour together. Its going to be one of the best nights of my life. (:
almost 2017 and this is not great... this is more than amazing lml.
I love their lyrics. I wish more bands were like this, lyrically.
Love this song. I think it was the first Hands Like Houses song I heard. Decided to come back on this vid 'cause my merch came the other day. :'D
Beat me to it haha. I was so relieved when they said that, one of the things I like about them is that they put so much power into their music without ever resorting to screams.

only a couple months off the 10 year anniversary
👀
6 years ago: AMAZING
2018: Still frickin' AMAZING
I would rather be a band like HLH than be one of those mainstream bands with a lot of followers but very few hardcore fans. Lets here it for one of most talented bands out of Australia
Such a fresh new sound for Rise. These guys rule, hope to see them soon!
It's been years since I've heard this last. I think I love it more now than I did then
2019 and I'm still listening to this.
How the hell did i listened this song so late, this is freackin' awsome!
Yet another amazing band to call our own. Australia
I met them October 17th....still remember it like yesterday! They are so chill!
Crazy debut album, the best HLH release 💯🔥
Banger I have listen to hands like houses a lot when I was a teenager in high school I was a freshman at that time I was about 16 years old when this song came out it was great high school memories of mine this song and band rocks loved them I did discover hands like house when I was sixteen years of age wonderful memories of my teen years love u all 🔥🤟🤘
They sound like panic at the disco! And I love it!
They do actually! Wow.
I really feel like this could be used for a Peter Pan movie lol
Read this about 15 seconds in and exited the song
+Andrew Laurents I mean, they literally use the "Second Star on the Right" from Peter pan.
An epic Peter Pan movie.
1:18 this reminds me when his shadow wasn’t attached to him
Always been a major fan of this song because I loved the melodic vocals combined with the heavy instrumentals and finally looked up the real lyrics today and it crushed me in a good way. Really hope I get to see them in concert one day. Guess I picked everything up subconsciously before I knew how much it actually resonated with me.
OMG just saw them last night at the glass house in Pomona CA with SWS, and PTV Tour!! loved Them!!!!!!!!!
I love Hands Like Houses
It makes them unique. Not every band needs screaming. Especially one with such amazing instruments and cleans that would not fit in with screaming. This album has very upbeat lyrics and an upbeat tone, screaming would simply not fit in.
This song came out when I was 14 and now I'm going off to college in a week..
+RAWWRIMAPIRATE i graduated highschool at 17. Late birthdays.
Perfect song i love it so much! "Before you fly you'll fall, before you walk you'll crawl" best part with no doubt!
Got hugs from the guys after the PTV show in belfast a couple months back. New big fan!!would have paid to see them alone
God, they're so good with lyrics
The intro reminds a lot of Isles and Glaciers lmao
2018 anyone just revisiting this classic
I just discovered this, amazing
saw these guys last night, freaking amazing show!!!!! if you get an opportunity to see them do not hesitate!
Not exactly, but there are references... These guys are absolutely INCREDIBLE!
I don't know the reason Why but this kind of songs reminds me the another world than doesn't exist... something like Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts 😌
William Longoni if references Peter pan a couple times. I think k of Neverland
Misheard lyrics: little boys, wet dreams, and paper planes.
+Christian Mckenzie lmao
+Christian Mckenzie Yep
+Christian Mckenzie There's always one.
Christian Jordan that made me laugh a little to hard
This was so good. Kinda miss this type of sound I cannot find it anywhere. So damn catchy and good. Their new album is meh
8 years later and this song is still perfect.
Saw these last night touring with PTV and fell in love. Great band! Can't believe I haven't heard of them yet!
Not one song by Hands like Houses I don't like there all frickin good
Anyone for Issues? They are from the same record label, and Stingray Affliction is my favorite song.
Great song im guessing its about peter pan and how he never grows old
I am so happy that the Collide With the Sky concert is giving these guys some attention.
They totally deserve it, they're amazing.
this is probably the best song i have ever heard in my life. thanks for uploading it dude or dudet
Only birds were meant to fly? What about insects? Dumb lyric.
I don't believe they were looking for your approval on lyrics.
I don't believe that you grasp the nature of a comment line.
TheCorrectViews yes comment line not approval line.
That was my comment. My God, you are an idiot.
eh its more of an approval rating than a comment :p
By Far ... My Fav band ... way better than that douch bag Kellin Quinn Lmfao!!!!
Yeah dude there good... But thats just pushing the limit Kellin is a beast!
Reegan Burnell You tell him! XD
I never heard of these guys before. Then they came through my town and ate at the restaurant I work at, driving a van and towing a trailer obviously on tour. I asked if they were a band and they told me who they were. And they are freaking awesome! Crazy experience......
One of the most beautiful songs i´ve ever heared
this will never not be one of my favorites. this song is an all time fav
Trenton was sick in San Antonio and only sang like 4 songs, but he was still amazing, and i love them
Absolute killer of an album!
How can you not like this band, this is the first time I've ever heard them and they are great!!
this song is fantastic. My brother just showed me these guys, and I'm already in love with them!
I've listened to this song sooooo many times and I didn't notice the facebook notification sound at 3:45 until now lmfao.
Don't know if you guys still read the comments, but such a heart (sorry i don't know the word because english it's not my nativa language) song. Like all the Ground dwellers album. Still gonna be my fav album after all this time. A masterpiece, all credits goes to you guys.
Every time I listen to this I just never want it to end... *hits replay for hundredth time*
We are opening up for these guys in AZ on the 27th...so stoked!
a worker at Hot Topic recommended this band to me and my friend, I'm so glad he did, they sound so awesome!
I found out about them on spotify weekly discovery
These lyrics were so beyond fucking magical.
The lyrics stole my heart.
Such an inspiration.
I first heard this song the day it was released here, and i still come for more sometimes, such a good song
Saw these guys last week...Absolutely amazing live!
I just checked these guys out for the first time... I love it.
Just found these guys today.. listened to this one song.. bought the whole album.
This song is a masterpiece throughout.
