    Bad Religion was my uncs favourite band in the world, he even had a bad religion flag over his casket. This song makes me cry and smile simentaneously everytime. If you got someone battling addiction and mental illness, try spending as much time and truly appreciate them, listen to them, talk to them. Engage yourself and invest in them, sometimes the most disturbed minds are brilliant just misunderstood. Rock in Peace Erik❤️

    I do have the American Lesion album (and I love it) but... I really wish Greg would make a whole acoustic album (maybe a 2 CD set even) of classic Bad Religion songs. There would be so many perfect songs for that! "Shades of Truth", "Parallel", "Victory", "Finite", "Streets of America", "Victims of the Revolution", "The Voracious March of Godliness", "Hello Cruel World", "In So Many Ways", "Generator", "The Answer", "Struck a Nerve", ......

      The last album I bought was No Substance. I thought it was really really bad and I havent bought a Bad Religion album in the last 20 years. But no doubt I love the other ones from the 80s and 90s. All of them. Looking back I find it strange that a 14 year old me was able to realize how bad No Substance was. Even back then I could see how much they sold out.

    There isn't anything as an almost 30-year old man that brings me to tears, but this song does. This song shows how versatile Graffin is and everything about it is perfect.

  • @futilerecordings
    @futilerecordings 14 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think The Grey Race is a highly underrated album. It's the first album on which Graffin didn't have Brett's songwriting skills to complement his own. Greg basically wrote the entire album alone (though Baker is credited as co-writer on a few tracks), yet it's incredibly powerful. So glad Brett's back though...best songwriting duo since Lennon/McCartney IMO. I love the fact that this album ends w/ this song..."Everything must...". Perfect.

    • @earthcitizen3939
      @earthcitizen3939 ปีที่แล้ว

      One of their best I think, at least the best out of those that they released on Atlantic. Stranger Than Fiction was released on that label, but I think that this album is better.

I lived (and still do) in Orange County and me and my buddy most definitely did go. Want to know the best part? Tickets were normal price because they didn’t make a big deal about recording the two shows at the Paladium...

    BEST LYRICS EVER. and the Voice really brings out the HEART of the song.
    Grave memorial, hewn white stone.
    Like a comforting caress of a mother or a friend you've always known.
    It evokes such pain and significance.
    what was oncem is reduced to rememberance and the generations pass without recompense.

    I love how the crowd sings along and stays relatively quiet for the song. A true sign of respect when you can go way out of genre like this and your fans love you for it.
    Reminds me of when Mike McColgan(Street Dogs) just starts talking for 15 mins in the middle of a live show. Everyone shuts the fuck up and listens.

    [Verse 1]
    Blacktop pavement cover me
    Like a chemical reaction or a steam roller spreading randomly
    There's a distant buzz at low frequency
    It tickles my ear, it rumbles under my feet
    And it shakes the leaves off of every tree violently
    [Chorus]
    What pretension! Everlasting peace
    Everything must cease
    [Verse 2]
    Institution on the Hill
    Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor to ignite a people's will
    There's a shadowed stain on the west facade
    It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
    And the descendants find it oh, so odd
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 3]
    Grave memorial, hewn white stone
    Like the comforting caress of a mother
    Or a friend you've always known
    It evokes such pain and significance
    What was once is reduced to remembrance
    And the generations pass without recompense
