It’s really worth reading the lyrics on pretty much every song they write. Maybe not during the song, because then you miss the crazy instrumental stuff, but afterwards, I’d suggest reading them. Very powerful, thought-provoking stuff.
Chris Thatcer is one of the hardest working drummers out there. Keep Going it only gets better !!!!!!! RIP Mattt Stewert you definanly melted our faces off!!!!!!!
I have fallen absolutely in love with this band. The horn section is so. So. TIGHT. I can't wait for next month to see them live! Love the reaction, as always, bois! I have to recommend Point/Counterpoint, Keasbey Nights (live shows they like to start P/C and play KN in the middle, then finish out P/C; it's wild and fantastic), We Will Fall Together, Would You Be Impressed?, A Moment of Silence/A Moment of Violence, The Hands That Thieve, Somewhere in the Between, and their covers of Hell by Squirrel Nut Zippers and Punk Rock Girl by Dead Milkmen. This is such an amazing rabbit hole to tumble down!
It’s basically impossible to find a good live video of them, especially the P/C Keasby mashup. But I wholeheartedly agree that it is their best piece of music!
This outro is so damn powerful. Wonderful song that remains respectful while not promoting suicide in any way. "And it makes me sick when I think of it All my heroes could not live with this And I hope you rest in peace Because with us you never did And K.D.C. (Kurt Donald Cobain), you were much too young And you changed my life But I draw the line at suicide Here's to life!" Here's to life indeed. To all of you, creative and sensitive people, take care and hang on. Great pick!
I dig this whole album but "Here's To Life" is perhaps my favorite track on it. I was blow away immediately by the message and how fuckin groovy it is.
Like most of their songs the melody is based off of music from Eastern Europe. In this case it's a Balkan folk melody. This reprise of the BOTAR song is their best song and I began listening to them in 2003 when they began.
Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution of this song is better and hits much harder imo. Its mostly the same band, just orchestral acoustic instruments instead (violin, viola, cello etc).
"They got like a small orchestra"
They've played several shows with a full orchestra. Best show I've ever been to
are you talking about botar?
@@fausimo yes I am
BOTAR is amazing to see!

100% agree. Especially if you follow politics and religious stuff.
Couldn’t agree more

Sue… stay tuned to the Bois, I made something you’ll love
@@rineran Yay!
I saw these guys with my brother back when I was 18. Their energy was so much fun.
"Theyre like a small orchestra" you sould see what they can do with a full orchestra... Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution

The whole song is about people who changed the world for the better but ultimately ended up committing suicide.
I always wondered what the kdc was referencing. Thank you so much for explaining this!
4:11 Clarinet
I feel like every time you listen to Streetlight Manifesto, you gain a brain cell. So the Bois are on three(?) now!
One of my favs!
Honestly every song is stellar!!!

Everything Goes Numb
I’ve seen them 4 times and each time is incredible
5th time in LA in September
Met Toh Kay and he is incredibly humble
"everything went numb"
Y'all said it, now check out the song from them titled that
Like most of their songs the melody is based off of music from Eastern Europe. In this case it's a Balkan folk melody. This reprise of the BOTAR song is their best song and I began listening to them in 2003 when they began.
Oh fun fact when they made this album they were all like fresh out of high school
Streetlight whilst drinking emeffers

"You just knew that everything was going to go numb" BEAUTIFUL!
Perhaps it’s time to start pulling up the lyrics before the songs start?
