8 years gone, this song is my current life. Stay strong fellow emos. 43 years old and Lil Lotus body bag sent me here. It's both fitting and ironic this was one of her favorite bands and I never really gave them a chance. ♥️
Ofcourse i love this version i love everything senses fail does even buddies side project stteiyvs but the original version of this song had so much feeling and angst in it it was raw it was art it was poetry n it cuts sooooo deep ill still always and forever love this band
"My head now spins, and my ears bleed gold. I tried so fucking hard, but I can't fit your mold." I wish I'd been as articulate with my words when I finally asked for a divorce.
If we're revisiting old works, could we get The Fire but mixed so that the vocals aren't inaudible? Such a great album that nobody seems to talk about.
@@thatguyjosh2322 I always thought that it was their worse mixed album but I never heard any one else say it lol....IDK what happened to it since the producer also did Still Searching and LINAWR
This was the first song I ever learned how to play on guitar. August in 2005 my brother couldn’t keep me in his apartment anymore, the second to last day I saw my brother, he taught me this song on acoustic guitar and shatterday by Vendetta Red. Have a great day
Are you also the one who commented on one of Senses Fail's old videos that you're brother taught you to play the whole EP on an acoustic guitar? Wow insane
Fucking killed it guys! Emo never dies. Haven't seen you guys since '05 with NFG but this is on point. I've had it on repeat just like I did back when.
I have so much memories about this song. It's been a long time I listened to Senses Fail. Bit a few days ago I thought: What they are actually doing? So I saw this and have different opinions to the remake. The clean singing in the old version at the beginning is much better than in this version. But holy shit this screams at the end absolutely nailed it down at makes it much better than the shouts in the old version. So both versions have their goods and bads! I didn't ever really care about if a band is Emo or not. To me it was just important that a band makes good music. And Senses Fail definately do!!!
It's so nice sitting very still, in a room where no one else can feel the pain that breaks my heart each day, I'm not ok. Sunlight shining through my window, lets me know that I'm still alive But why did I ever let you inside my heart? I'm such a fool. Paint my face in shades of blood and grey and take the seat right next to me But I should have known that you were a killer. But now I'm dead. A gaping hole, shot through my heart A lost connection from your poison dart Shot from your tongue to end my life. But if you're blowing at the fire to light your strife. You'll never know, oh yeah. You'll never know, oh no. The hardest thing about dying is, knowing you'll never see the light of day. A gaping hole... (shot through my heart) A lost connection from your poison dart. My head now spins and my ears bleed gold. I try so fucking hard, but I can't fit your mold. The hardest thing about dying is, knowing you'll never see the light of day. [x2] You ripped my heart out, you tore my eyes out, now you're gonna pay I'll stab you one time. I'll eat your heart out, so you feel my pain. Don't you know that I always see you in all of my dreams? I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane. I wanna kill you. I wanna kill you. Now I'm insane.
Why does this sound different than the CD I bought when this came out? Like I can vocally match the way that it sounded to this day and when I listen to this song it's not the same I mean it's the same but not the same you know what I mean?
Fans: I still prefer the original but I appreciate this rework, it's literally the alt-version Also fans: NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T HARMONIZE YOUR OWN SONG, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO MAKE THE MUSIC I WANT TO HEAR! NOT THE SCREAMERINOOOOO NOT MY HECKIN RAW PITCH SCREAMO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I WANNA KILL YOU NOW I'M INSANERINOOO
This version is AWESOME! What we lose in raw energy, we gain in pristine production and spot on performance. I see some people commenting on disliking the "harmonization" of the vocals, which I find pretty funny. To start off with, I'm pretty sure they mean the vocal doubling. Which is not really "harmonizing", per sé, but I guess it could be thought of as a type of harmonizing. It sounds like they double tracked a lot of the lead vocals and then let them be slightly out of tune with each other. If you have only one vocal that is slightly out of tune, that gives you a very subtle "pulsing" effect that most listeners perceive as color or character to the voice. But if you take one vocal that is dead on, and then add another vocal doing the same thing, but anywhere from 3 to 10 cents off, you get this mild disagreement between the subtly varying tones of the two vocal takes, which results in a stronger pulsing type of effect, because you have two sounds with the same character producing frequencies very close to each other, but not identical. Whereas just a single slightly out vocal take will only produce milder, less noticeable disagreement or pulsing, because the other sounds present do not have the same character (because of harmonics, the presence and relative strength of the pitches that make up a note, which are perceived as a sound's timbre), and do not interact with each other as directly as two vocal takes. Which has to do with how frequencies interact with each other to form music, which is related to the pulse rate (frequency) of different sounds overlapping in specific ways- i.e, how we are programmed to perceive music. So this pulsing effect, when achieved by vocal doubling, is actually literally achieved through having a voice in the song that is just slightly out of tune. Sounds like a bad idea, right? Well, not necessarily. Music is human and humans may not always know how to put it into words, but if you autotune everything to be dead on (without using Autotune for an effect), your performance will lose something of the humanity and/or uniqueness. The rough edges are more important in some genres than others. Pop, for instance, often favors a soaring, flawless vocal, but alternative (to use a genre specific term as a massive blanket term) usually favors an honest, realistic vocal that speaks to the singer's humanity and relates to the listener. On a side note, yes, it is possible they took the original lead, tuned it, then duplicated the take on the computer, took the tuning off, and turned the untuned duplicate down in the mix as a vocal double. This method is much less common simply because it can sound unnatural, but it is possible they did it. But whether they achieved a vocal through this method or simply recording another take is somewhat irrelevant, because results would probably be indistinguishably similar, though not always, which is why it's always better to do real double tracks when possible. But what really makes it funny is that while the doubling was not the way they achieved the effect in the past, the slight pulsing from a very slightly out of tune vocal performance has always been there. That is the Punk and early Senses Fail style. It is the emotional statement and the honesty of the performance. It is part of what makes Senses Fail and Buddy unique, and part of the reason countless people love them to death and feel they have brought their emotions to life. Yet doing it in the old way was okay, great even, perhaps even though it was out of human limitation. But doing it in a slightly different way, intentionally, on the highly produced new track is not okay...? Just kind of a silly point of contention, to me. It's almost like saying the reason why you loved them back then is the reason why you hate them today. On that note, there are many people who emotionally move beyond this music and then get into that place of hating it, and feeling like they have to because they are insecure about being immature again... I think that's unfortunate. You don't have to hate something to overcome it. Respect where you come from and the emotions and how you got through it (and thank God too). But on that note, most people who loved Senses Fail didn't love them because they loved the sound of slightly out of tune vocals in and of themselves. They loved them because of the emotional statement and rawness, the energy and angst, the honesty and relation, the expression of sadness in a raw way that they connect with. So making the effect more noticeable might be a mild production oversight- one made from the modern frame of reference where the lead vocal is always tuned to be dead on, but a double might not be. But I personally liked it. I think it was a good way to achieve the old slightly raw vocal without compromising the tuning of the lead. I will admit that using a double to achieve the effect DOES make the effect more noticeable than just having one slightly out of tune voice... In my past recordings, I usually prefer the sound of one slightly out of tune voice to the sound of doubling the vocal with a slightly out of tune take. This is because one slightly out of tune voice on it's own usually sounds more like just a normal voice, and the fact that it's out of tune isn't normally perceived as being out of tune, because it's so slight. It's normally perceived as color or the vocal standing out in the mix in a subtle way. Just to be clear, we're talking about pitch variations of around 3 to 15 cents absolute max, though exactly how out of tune a vocal performance can be before being perceived as out of tune or "bad" varies by the listener. Not to mention some people actually learn to enjoy the sound of a vocal performance that is "out of tune". But anyway, very subtle normal human traits in a vocal is what we're talking about. But once you get this thing where you have one take dead on and another a little off, the effect becomes noticeable either as pulsing or "chorusing". It highlights the difference between the two pitches, instead of leaving it up to the (probably musically untrained) listener to know what is out of tune, and what isn't. Which comes back to the fact that many people can't tell when a vocal is slightly off, but they can tell when two similar pitches are slightly out of tune. Yet they are still perceived as one note- just a note with a slight chorus effect. So Senses Fail actually probably did this vocal doubling to sort of imitate the artistic statement of the original. But in all honesty, it's a little bit funny to me to not like it this way and still like it the other- it's nearly the same thing, from my point of view. But I suppose it's fair enough for a listener to have that opinion, since I've often preferred the sound of one vocal alone, myself, when recording. But nostalgia, energy, and closeness in time to emotion source all add up to something. Regardless, from a musical, production, and performance point of view, this version is better. But what makes Senses Fail great cannot be fully encapsulated within these ideas, and is something more unexplainable and emotional. If you wanted everything spot on, you probably wouldn't be listening to Senses Fail, in the first place. There's something raw, angsty, and mournfully connective about them, especially in their early stages. It reminds us that music is not all about being the best in the world at music, it's about being the best in the world at being you. And it was made that way for a reason. And praising God. But these songs are more emotionally focused. Nostalgia is a cruel mistress that makes everything we once loved seem great, except when we find a way to disconnect the things from that feeling of nostalgia. How many times have you watched a children's show from your youth, and adored it in your twenties, yet found that another show with all the similar characteristics of the show from your youth, but made in the last 5 years, "just doesn't do it for you". It's worth noting that we should never blame a band for not recapturing our nostalgia, something they have little to no control over. We must find it in ourselves to recapture that feeling and be open to the artist as they are today. Not punish the artist for continuing to exist but having matured or changed. I love both versions of the song and always will :). I personally greatly enjoy hearing the production of these songs sound MASSIVE from today's tech. Side note, Senses Fail is massively talented and I love them to death :))

Emo’s Not Dead
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
It's so nice sitting very still,
in a room where no one else can feel
the pain that breaks my heart each day, I'm not ok.
Sunlight shining through my window,
lets me know that I'm still alive
But why did I ever let you inside my heart? I'm such a fool.
Paint my face in shades of blood and grey
and take the seat right next to me
But I should have known that you were a killer. But now I'm dead.
A gaping hole, shot through my heart
A lost connection from your poison dart
Shot from your tongue to end my life.
But if you're blowing at the fire to light your strife.
You'll never know, oh yeah. You'll never know, oh no.
The hardest thing about dying is, knowing you'll never see the light of day.
A gaping hole... (shot through my heart)
A lost connection from your poison dart.
My head now spins and my ears bleed gold.
I try so fucking hard, but I can't fit your mold.
The hardest thing about dying is, knowing you'll never see the light of day. [x2]
You ripped my heart out, you tore my eyes out, now you're gonna pay
I'll stab you one time.
I'll eat your heart out, so you feel my pain.
