- Better make sure
Better make sure you're looking closely
Before you fall into your Swoon
We are ready for the siege
We are armed up to the teeth
Be careful how you live and breathe
Release what's broken underneath
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder
We can laugh about it now
We hope everything works out
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Believe that change is coming soon
How many times do you wanna die?
How many ways do you wanna die?
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Very carefully look over your shoulder
You used to do a little, but a little won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love, but not the first time
Can I please you still?
Remain in your father's will
Or does it make you ill?
Let us bruise their knees
We went in straight for a defeat
You will be relieved
So relieved, so relieved to the flow, and desire
Bitter sparks to the friendly fire
Misery inspires
your throat has been cut several times before
Never noticed the size of the flow
it can't be ignored
Do you feel safe again? Look over your shoulder
Carefully look over your shoulder
You said you believe, but believing won't fly
Right before you hit your prime
That's when we fell in love, but not the first time
And when it's all over and you open your eyes
You see the room turned on its side
And you'll be lying by a note on the floor signed
The Royal We (x8)
Love The Royal We - เพลง
The most underrated band of all time.
Yup. They don't get it
True. Fuck the rest. Please more
Agreed
Totally agree!
The sound quality on this is amazing Who ever the sound tech was is a freaking god.
After learning this song on guitar I have a new respect for how difficult out it is even without trying to sing. Nuts good.
And not to mention all the effect pedals he’s constantly hitting to change effects! Seriously an underrated musician
I love when Brian kicks his voice into overdrive. It's soothing and then WHAM! You can't help but feel lifted by it. Makes me want to punch holes in timespace.
GreetTheSacredCow dude has some pipes for sure!
+GreetTheSacredCow lmao!!
Seriously. His ability to do so makes him my favorite vocalist.
I love him so much
When I'm 40 years old, I will look back on this album as the record that defined my college years. In the midst of a lot of label-produced bands, dance pop, and more-than-enough rock bands that are afraid to get noisy, these guys created a masterpiece of an album.
Are you 40 now, and still feel the same?
@@questnreality1763 I am 31 now, and I still feel the same.
@@Hyperchicken love it.
52 now and jamming to it with the volume maxed out - no looking back!
I'm 49 still here
I can't believe this is coming up on 10 years.. man, I'm getting old.
@@gregorydeimel1876 Yeah, Getting Old alright ;)
Me too brother. Still sounds fresh though!
See, this is where I don't understand music. This song is perfect. Perfect. Yet I never even hear it on the radio? I dunno man. Shits crazy.
Peter Ferreira agree wholeheartedly
Peter- you shouldn't depend on the radio to hear great music. Problem solved.
Peter, you say that like not hearing it on the radio is a bad thing...?
The radio is for absolute nonsense I end up hating radio songs since 5 different stations play it 500 times a day.
ha! you're listening to the wrong radio station! but yeah , they deserve better.
His voice is legendary. I love the intensity of the song, especially toward the end.
This is possibly the best live performance I've ever seen.
This band is so good live! Have seen them 7 times. They do not disappoint.
xlr8944 that’s the truth! They are, and, they don’t! I will never miss a chance to see them. Amazing musicians!
I am so insanely jealous of you
Lucky bastard
I just saw them for the first time a couple weeks ago and they were amazing. Could not believe how good they sounded live. Definitely going back every time they come back.
A gritty, gutteral, inspired and intense performance from a band well worthy of receiving its first Grammy.
Don’t know why but the song brings me to tears
i read somewhere that silversun was trying to be like smashing pumpkins, these guys blow the pumpkins away. just my opinion.
No. The pumpkins were amazing for their time. Silver sun has the same feel but different. Both are great!!
Perfectly
Crossbreed between smashing pumpkins and placebo
@@ryoichiwatanabe648perfect analogy, sugoi ne.
@@robertperkins7767 tottemo tottemo sugoiiii!!!! 🤟🤟🤟
I've heard them play this live twice now, and every time they play that first note with "we", it runs a shiver up my spine :)
This song is just absolutely fucking perfect. My mind has been blown and reconstructed for the 36th time before the half way mark even starts.
It is probably my favorite live performance of a song of all time
whole band is friggin awesome. cant believe this is live. great quality
“When it’s all over and u open your eyes to see the world turned on it’s side. You’ll be by a note on the floor signed”
One of favorite songs ever
I love the urgency this song evokes! SSPUs will always be my fav!
That's when we fell in Love but not the first time.
His intensity blows my mind....every damn time. I fucking love this band.
Greatness right. Seen em twice in concert. Best shit ever.
+REFxUxG I only seen em once! waiting until they come back to Chicago again. can't wait!
Holy shit. Just got tickets. They will be here with Foals on May 6th...Milwaukee
I cannot believe it has been 14 years since this song came out. Even today when that breakdown comes in, it gives me chills. Such a good song☺
I saw them live for the first time a few weeks ago. Have been a fan for at LEAST 15 years. It was an experience all it's own. They are all so freaking talented.
Man this is the hardest version I've heard yet... awesome!!
This song speaks for itself, and for what I think about it with the last line in the lyrics "Love the Royal We"
Oh fuck. I love Nikki's bass strap, she's such a bad-ass.
Seeing SP for the 1st time in a couple of weeks. Wishing so badly for them to play this song - easily my favorite off of this album.
damn this song is amazing wish i could go to one of their concerts!
I am with you. These guys and girl have the most unique and best sound I have ever heard. Not since the deadboys and violent femmes in the 70s have I heard anything this unique. SSPU is so much better than everybody else. SSPU are truly masters of their craft.
10 years later and this comment still holds up.
@@ethan043 Yep, couldn't agree more.
@Rick8231 have you listened to physical thrills? I thought it was great, it gives the old SSPU albums a run for their money.
@@ethan043 I will check it out. Thank you for chiming in.
Their drummer is so good but his setup is freaking me out haha :)
Gegi Diepold .....right?!
Gegi Diepold High hat destroyer
lol
I always thought Christopher and the guy from Battles should have a "Cymbal-Off"😆
Saw them in Vancouver, just 😍
I love this song, before anything I do that consists of me on a team. I think of this song, we as a team are Royal, and we are capable of overcoming ANY obstacle that comes in our way. The Royal We.
Favorite band of ALL time... I can't believe how amazing these guys and gal are! When they come to San Diego again I can't wait to hear how neck of the woods will sound in concert. I'm obsessed and they are all I listen to. They nailed it when I think what music should sound like. I love how they just go at with so much emotion and the drummer just goes crazy. Unique and amazing.
Wow. Like this more than the studio version.
Holy SHIT that jammed!!! It's a freakin' pity no one was there to cheer them after that performance! I'm giving them a standing O right now!
that guitar solo brings me to another world.
Sorry. There is no guitar solo. It's the keyboard player and yeah it's pretty sweet..
Damn amazing voice...totally unique. Great things coming from this band for sure. So many of their songs are already brilliant.
really unique band, great to see live. its nice to see bands with character and style
Seeing Pickups for first time since Paddys Day 2010.
Nxt Month..Apr 24, 2024.
All in Kansas City!
This band is so incredibly tight! There is an unusual magic in how these band members lock together when playing.
Summer of 07...all i listened to was Silversun Pickups album.
Tp5 album of 21st Century
ya, swoon is an amazing album, they're quickly becoming one of my favorite bands!
the first time i saw "smells like teen spirit," right as the video was released on mtv, in my parents' basement, 30 years ago, i said to myself "holy s--t what was that"? i had the same reaction the first time i heard this song.
one of my favorite hooks of all time
Remember watching this on my dads computer 2011, Still watching this video in 2024
Rest In Peace dad. This is for you
well....I got chills from that.
This performance is mesmerizing.
3:39....gets me everytime
Camille-Mary Sharp OH, YES! Me too!
Every single time
this song is SOO crazy good....especially towards the end, i get goosebumps...amazing
This song is a fucking epic masterpiece on a legendary album.
Music can help you breathe. This music does x
Silversun is amazing. Do you like The Shins?
For a heart attack!? I mean that as a compliment. I love music that has legit rhythm, music that moves you!
A lot of good bands got buried after midnight on MTV2
/Subterranean back in the Aughts that never got mainstream airplay. It's still happening now on YT, Bandcamp etc. Good music isn't dead it's just hard to find.
this is one of the funnest songs to play in a band.
AOL performances always sound so good. They're mixed so wonderfully, they sound like a studio session.
... They are amazing live... God, that just blew me away...
"you better make sure, you better make sure you're looking closely before you fall into your swoon,"
might be the song of the decade
omg. tears. greatness.
Baby boo is doing her thing on the bass !! And doing background! Wow
How the hell can a human mind produce that level of emotion bliss to literally bring tears to my eyes with a rock song? Tell me please.
I am glad they are not to overly "pop/mainstream " Silversun Pickups are super talented, but not so mainstream that I am sick of hearing about them. Thanks Brian, I love your music!
I have no words for how incredible the sound quality is.
One of the better songs I have heard in awhile. My favorite on the album. This is a great live recording.
I challenge any one to find a tighter band right now, and i just heard Empty Nest 2 days ago and it is amazing and beautiful and makes me cry like a baby
excellent first time i heard them and their awesome
cant wait till they come to LA i'll be in front singing every song .EXTRA HIGH CRASH CYMBALS = AWESOMENESS!!!
i love you nikki! best band of 2009 to see live. SSPU
Perfection
What a talent these guys are man. SHEEEESH
una de mis temas favoritos great please come to Lima Peru
kissing families is my favorite..little lovers so polite is awesome..its nice to know you work alone is pretty epic..ill stop now before i ramble
I really love this performance. Absolutely fantastic live band which is a sign of any really good band.
Autotune can be used live... but this band doesn't do auto correction. Sometimes the mistakes are just as beautiful as the intended.
Tears every time
I just saw them live in Hartford....10/20/09....They are simply amazing!!!!!
My favorite band, they are incredible in concert!
Good insight. I AM 40 and my college years are defined by Nevermind. Strange the similarities - Now SSP is defining my 40s :)
Bravo! Bravo!! Silversun Pickups saw u live for the first time in Bklyn!!!! Must say it will definitely not be my last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an amazing intro.
It's great, but it's actually the outro to the title track, "There's No Secrets This Year". On the album, that track leads seamlessly into this one.
What an amazing performance! SSPU never disappoints!
Chills. Just straight chills they are amazing
The lead singer, Brian, has a Lazy Eye people. It can be connected to why they wrote the song "LAZY EYE". His vocals are similar to Billy Corgan's of The Smashing Pumpkins. Excellent and Legendary Band. They are calling SSPU THE NEXT PUMPKINS. I agree. :)
Amazing band❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
God damn awesome. I'm loving these guys so much right now!
seeing them on the 31st.... 2nd time this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chris, joe, nikki, brian, keep rocking guys! you are totally amazing!
Best Band ever
His guitar tone is beautiful
JUST AN AMAZING ALBUM !!
