Taking Back Sunday called Northstar the best band ever, i still have the sticker on the album. traveled all over the south watching them perform. bringbacknorthstar
Definitely agree bro. Been listening to these guys for a decade or more. Of all the crappy bands that become famous worldwide, one of the best bands ever barely ever got any recognition... such a shame almost no one will hear Northstar’a beauty
Damn! Lucky! I found out about these guys almost 18 years ago but never heard them on the radio..the girl that showed them to me was from VA, and we only chatted through aol instant messenger lmfao! Myspace wasn't even a thing yet!
Takes me back to being 17 again... 27 now and time flies so fast. Might be the most tragically underrated band to ever form. Such a shame most in this world will never hear this amazing, beautiful music from Northstar.
LYRICS to Rigged & Ready It's winter and I'm late, I lost this game Of white Russian roulette but I'm fine, I'm quite okay And she knows I'm royal, loyal to lovers I'll die here with you when my veins lose their hue Cause I never fixed my broken jaw That's why my words don't ever come out at all, So when you come out fix another for me One hand's itching, the other's missing I wish I was missing Birthmark my arms in vain out my mouth and down the drain Shooting bullets through my blood, the bullets barely missed my brain And fly for five days around my bedroom in a haze And then I'll crash straight in the ground I wish I was never ever here And I don't know what's buried here (I think) I'm buried here and barely here Raccoon eyed and skin whiter than heavens best fighter I'm thinking she needs me, well do you girl? I guess we'll see And I know she's perfect, a hostage in purple We'll tie up our arms with my cancer and your charm Cause I'll never kiss a broken jaw Fist fight the light that bounces off my walls So when you come out fix another for me One leg's limping, the other's missing I wish I was missing Dodging broken down satellites Mending my beaten up jaw line Last night I stayed on call all night And I watched her die three times tonight
@@itsjustmyopinionbut1671 That makes perfect sense! Did you deduce that alone, or are there further citations anywhere else? Would you happen to have any insights into the meaning of other Northstar songs? Two Zero Two in particular? The most logical interpretation of that song I've seen floating around the internet is that it's about a girl Nick used to know, whom he saw as a stripper.
@@itsjustmyopinionbut1671 i don't think many do. Unless you know about the singer and his addiction. Or if you have been through dope addition personally you wouldn't pick it up. That's why I really appreciate this song. It's pretty accurate about dealing with being strung out.
My late best friend and I would listen to these guys all the time. It’ll be 17 years on New Years 2022 since she’s been gone, so listening to them puts a smile on my face. Lots of fun memories were made!
Yea it's about shooting dope. A rig is a needle. Rigged and Ready is what people say when they are about to shoot up. These lyrics are sad but amazing. The phrase where he says "last night i stayed on call all night, i watched her die 3 times that night" hits hard. I've been there

They are now a band called Cassino. Do yourself a favor and check it out.. You'll thank me later
In Jesus' name, Amen
i once loved a girl who loved northstar
2023… I’m 34 and drunk..thinking of things .. and this band comes to mind! 😂❤🎉
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave Acoustic” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺🤘🎸
24 still here

Agree 100%
One word: Underrated.
Hella.
Not a day goes by that I'm not pissed that they never took off. Easily one of the greatest albums of the era.

Heroin certainly is a one way ticket to hell , paved beautifully with the sweet songs of the muses along the way..

Thanks for this.
Legitimately some of the greatest lyrics ever.
I looked through the lyrics to this song for the first time ever the other day and thought the same
This song in particular hits hard. He really paints the picture.
Man do I love this band. I had the honor of seeing them 3 times and being at the show where they recorded the dvd. I miss them too much
Timothy Friel would trade lives with you just for this lol
Best band ever. Listening to them reminds me of some of the best memories of my life at shows.
time fo a reunion show!!!
now its time for a reunion show.
@@betosanchitonow it’s time for a reunion show
My favorite band . Period. I love when I forget how good this is and then get transported back in time
The bullet did not miss my brain. It went straight through it.
Brings back the feeling of being 16 again.... What a wonderful feeling
10+ years and im still obsessed.
LYRICS to Rigged & Ready
It's winter and I'm late, I lost this game
Of white Russian roulette but I'm fine, I'm quite okay
And she knows I'm royal, loyal to lovers
I'll die here with you when my veins lose their hue
Cause I never fixed my broken jaw
That's why my words don't ever come out at all,
So when you come out fix another for me
One hand's itching, the other's missing
I wish I was missing
Birthmark my arms in vain out my mouth and down the drain
Shooting bullets through my blood, the bullets barely missed my brain
And fly for five days around my bedroom in a haze
And then I'll crash straight in the ground
I wish I was never ever here
And I don't know what's buried here
(I think) I'm buried here and barely here
Raccoon eyed and skin whiter than heavens best fighter
I'm thinking she needs me, well do you girl? I guess we'll see
And I know she's perfect, a hostage in purple
We'll tie up our arms with my cancer and your charm
Cause I'll never kiss a broken jaw
Fist fight the light that bounces off my walls
So when you come out fix another for me
One leg's limping, the other's missing
I wish I was missing
Dodging broken down satellites
Mending my beaten up jaw line
Last night I stayed on call all night
And I watched her die three times tonight
Zedujo I wonder if anyone else realizes this song is about heroin addiction

it’s actually about methamphetamines

I miss this band so badly. Also RIP to their bassist
Joshua Skyy Holy crap! What?!
His bass was groovy
@@TobermoryIscarabaidX sorry fore being late but their bassist Jake passed 5 years ago this year.
This song still slays.
they broke up the lead singer now sings for a band called Casino. Kinda sad they separated, so ahead of their time.
Still my favorite album of all time
It took me 13 years to realize what this song was really about. These fucking lyrics are amazing
It’s just my opinion but Please. Go on. lol
TobermoryIscarabaidX Lol I’m pretty sure it’s about drug use and addiction... as a 15 year old, I had no idea haha

Cassino is his other band

What happened to this band?
they split and then formed Cassino and the original bassist died
Fuck this brought me back to my more carefree days
Taught to kill
This was the only good song they had really ...12 tracks like this would have been nice
