I can definitely see how this links to someone with suicide or whatever but being in a fake relationship for 6 years and hearing this hits really fucking hard
You're definitely right, I only found them in '23, and I've yet to find an acquaintance who already listens to em & finding somebody to talk about the band is like the second thing I do when I find a band who has an existing body of consistent work that I missed, somehow
Brendan Walter is such an amazing director. I was the set medic on a 9 day panic at the disco shoot for 5 different music videos, all of which directed by Brendan. Fucking brilliant guy. And so kind and humble!
I feel you. Lost my mom 2 years ago now. I’m not going to say it gets easier, but you learn to live with the pain. All you can do is live YOUR best life to honor her. All you gotta do is do good deeds in life and do it all with her in mind.
Heard everything on the first floor Where they said you were rushed From your front door So please tell me where Ran up the stairs in a heartbeat, Where I read off your name from a time sheet So please tell me where What an awful curse to see you at your worst So come home now (I'm not fine, I'm not what I say I am) (I've lost hope, I've lost hope in everything) With your tiny frame I swore I'd block the pain So come home now Lost everything with a mistake Thinking back all the times that you had faith So please tell me where If I could stand up taller than the tallest of the trees Would you treat me like a big brother? I gave you all the time I had But you wanted more, I did my best so why bother?
I love this song it is amazing and makes me cry. I don't know wtf this video was though. It literally has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the song but...okay i guess.
It's hard to tell just by ear. If you look at the video, the lead singer//guitarist is using "standard" way in forming bar chords (index + ring and pinky) instead of just barring the entire fret with one finger (which would indicate a "drop" tuning). So it's mostly likely in some sort of "standard" tuning (although it's very likely a down-tuned tuning though). My best guess would be: D Standard, Db Standard, or possibly even C standard, I'm not 100% positive though. :P
Joel Pelham I also saw that video too! Think the commenter said it was between Drop C, or Db/C# Standard (which, you could easily play their songs depending on your tuning preferences are). I would play it Drop C myself because I play in Drop tuning much more than Standard-Downtunings. Best of luck!
I feel the song is about taking care and wanting to do the best you can for somebody who's suicidal or suffers from mental illness. It would make sense if you really read into the lyrics. As for the video I got no clue! Haha

I just fucking love the way the guitarist sings man. It's just raw as fuck.
These guys and movements are absolutely killing it at the moment!
If this is still your opinion, I simply can agree!
Still valid.
4 years ago you spoke gold my good sir
2024 and they’re both still doing work and sounding great live 🤙🏼
Thank you spotify recommendations

yupp
"Death Deserves A Name" is the best EP ever, I'm really looking forward to further releases by Can't Swim!
01UofMfan Best since Saosin's Translating the Name EP imo
gotta be one of the most unique voices in modern alternative emo
I can definitely see how this links to someone with suicide or whatever but being in a fake relationship for 6 years and hearing this hits really fucking hard
fuck this grew on me so hard
Timothy Clark ya this is the jam
i feel like i know all of their music without actually listening to them before. I love it
my favourite band actually
These guys are slept on

Can't Swim, Trophy Eyes, and Movements would be a sick tour!
Shaniece Munoz dont forgot story so far
Cant Swim and Movements are going on tour now!!!!
The depression would be tangible lol but yes solid
A GOATED TOUR!
This band is everything.
Too stoked to see them with Moose Blood
Hey its Blake
I can't stop listening to the EP right now
This song got me through my mother's death. Partially.. thank you

@Hockeyjew702 thanks, brother. It's actually been 7 years now since she passed. Appreciate your comment, brother
These guys, We Were Sharks, and Anxious, need a tour of all 3
On my ~100th watch and it doesn’t get much better, for real.
Freaking love this band so much.

Sounded great live in Mahall's in Cleveland! One of my favorite bands right now.
Such a good band!
i love this song so much
I've had a moment in which I seriously thought about getting a Can't Swim tattoo!
Heard everything on the first floor
Where they said you were rushed
From your front door
So please tell me where
Ran up the stairs in a heartbeat,
Where I read off your name from a time sheet
So please tell me where
What an awful curse to see you at your worst
So come home now
(I'm not fine, I'm not what I say I am)
(I've lost hope, I've lost hope in everything)
With your tiny frame I swore I'd block the pain
So come home now
Lost everything with a mistake
Thinking back all the times that you had faith
So please tell me where
If I could stand up taller than the tallest of the trees
Would you treat me like a big brother?
I gave you all the time I had
But you wanted more, I did my best so why bother?
Can't wait for Riot Fest. Come to the UK after that yeah?
what an awful curseeeeee to see you at your worsttttttt. this band is gold af
Good I love them
im so glad i found this band
Shouts out to the Chillor stream!
Is that the old guy from the video for Pretense by Knuckle Puck?
Fuck I love this band
I love this song it is amazing and makes me cry. I don't know wtf this video was though. It literally has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the song but...okay i guess.
What can I find guitar tabs for this somg
Oh fuck yes
👍🏻
Nice:D
WHAT AN AWFUL CURSE TO SEE YOU AT YOUR WORST
nice grain, looks so good
Wish he sang like this live
so fucking good
reminds me a little of early turnover
Lots of comments about movements fun fact I got to see them at their first ever show
Fucking love you guys!
guitar tabs or tunings?
It's hard to tell just by ear. If you look at the video, the lead singer//guitarist is using "standard" way in forming bar chords (index + ring and pinky) instead of just barring the entire fret with one finger (which would indicate a "drop" tuning). So it's mostly likely in some sort of "standard" tuning (although it's very likely a down-tuned tuning though).
My best guess would be: D Standard, Db Standard, or possibly even C standard, I'm not 100% positive though. :P
SFLOVER94 I'm definitely determined to find the tuning. there is a bass cover, and it was standard drop d.
Joel Pelham I also saw that video too! Think the commenter said it was between Drop C, or Db/C# Standard (which, you could easily play their songs depending on your tuning preferences are).
I would play it Drop C myself because I play in Drop tuning much more than Standard-Downtunings. Best of luck!
Acoustic tabs anyone?
Ok but did the old guy have a GBC tattoo?? Goth boI clique RIP LIL PEEP
:D
I get a strong Blink 182 Vibe from this.
that's never a good thing
Blink's new album is actually really good lol. But Can't Swim's vibe is coming more from the untitled album. I think so at least.
+Gary Zaharatos fuck you douche
So true dude old blink a little bit like the bands that were on drive-thru records like early November
Literally "can't swim" HAHAH
Does anyone understand the meaning of this song or the connection to the video?? I can't figure this out!!
I feel the song is about taking care and wanting to do the best you can for somebody who's suicidal or suffers from mental illness. It would make sense if you really read into the lyrics. As for the video I got no clue! Haha
need to mix the vocals louder
Nah.
yeah, they get pretty drowned out.
I came from facebook.com/greatstagemusic/
all of this because she took a few of his hydrocodones
So much promise wasted. This is where they should have stayed instead of wherever they went.
nice fake grain
