This song/video brings me to tears every time I watch this. The idea that even after your life seems to burn to the ground, the fog will clear up eventually leaving a bright future. I love hands like houses
I don't know what it is, but there's something about this song that makes it quite emotional. It has kind of a "tragic" sound to it, in addition to the burning house. To me, anyway. I like it a lot.
Easily one of my favourite HLH songs of all time, sad to see how much they've changed their sound in recent years. This record and Ground Dweller are absolute masterpieces.
@@Divine_Mode Try Dissonants, and their singles Drift and Hurricane I’d also recommend Shimmer but I have a feeling you might not like it, since it’s not very heavy
@@sendAJtospace thanks for the recommend, I’ve listened to dissonanta and was only really into one song. I’ll have to check out the others but I mostly listen to electronic music these days lol. Though I’ve been getting back into rock & metal again a bit lately.
My favorite thing about Hands Like Houses is their ability to use such grandiose language and proliferate it alongside a poetic format, while still keeping layers and layers of music cluttered inside. It's so rare these days to see lyrics that are planned out and hold altruistic meaning, I love it!
my friend who is really really into insane old death metal...loves these guys...he said yesterday"His voice is awesome, this song is awesome, all of them is awesome, they need an acoustic album. Somehow."
Find it so frustrating that merely clicking "like" doesn't show from my perspective how fucking awesome this is both visually and musically..where's the +1000 button when you need it?
This song and all of "Unimagine" is just so, so beautiful and really gets me emotional. I've been listening to Dissonants a lot, and i like it....but no song on that album tops this.
Living Infinity Well i'm glad i found someone who agrees :) I've seen so many people praising Dissonants on how its their best album yet, so i felt kinda left out.
A fire on a hill is the first song I have ever heard by HLH it will always be my number 1 of theirs, but I must say, I think Dissonants and Unimagine are equals for me
these guys are my fav band now...everything they've made is phenomenal....ive heard people say they are generic, but tbh they are in my opinion one of the best bands out there right now
watching people paint is so mesmerizing. i swear back when i painted in high school, most of the class spent half their time watching other people paint. its crazy seeing something amazing come out of nothing. also, that sun flare on the camera is so perfect.
I am a geologist and I love this band and every time I hear one of their songs I can pick out what sounds an awful lot of geology references but that's just me!
I love hearing people get excited the first time they hear this band. I'm so proud of them and with fans like us, I'm sure hands like houses will be great.
it's not easy to start something when you're at the spotlight (not only in music) and this band has made the most beautiful poem about it, it's truly an anthem.... very proud of these guys c:
+TheMonumentOfGrowth I messed up, the first day new romantics came out I thought new romantics was the album name. the album was supposed to come out December ninth but they pushed it back. sorry for being dumb. I am well aware that its being called dissonant.
Artist and musician goals all in one video. I really appreciate HLH because it's like they get me. I dunno. I have just been in love with them for a year now.
That my friend is the passion of art. To create an absolute beauty, but to always be willing to watch it disappear just as all good things do. Art is a flutter of light and color that fades to dark over time.
that's the beauty of music. the musician/s may not tell the meaning of it so you have to figure it out for yourself. the mystery of it makes the song so much better :3
I learned to play this song on drums ten years ago. Quit playing for five, didn't play this song for the next five. Just sat down to play it first thing when I sat behind my kit, and it flowed out of my body like I learned it yesterday. Hands like Houses have always been magical to me. This is the stuff that makes my musical heart beat.. Won't be the same without Trenton though... 💔
the house can reference absolutely anything built and set fire and torn down by life.....ideas, relationships, dreams.....that's the beauty of this song.....notice he keeps saying begin again.....talking about when the aftermath of the destruction of what you built is torn down....keep trying and begin again as well....in the bands case it's about writing a song
@@thepunisher7384 while yes, you did miss the point of littlemetaldevil's comment, which was to combine two of their song titles together, "The House you Built" and "A Fire on a Hill"
wait...Hands Like HOUSES. it's a painting of a house. it's on a hill, the song is called A Fire On A Hill. House on a hill and Fire on a hill, so maybe House=Fire and it's almost like Hands Like Fire. in this video, the painting of the house gets destroyed with "fire". maybe it represents the "hands" that were destroyed by fire because after all, they're like houses and maybe this represents his creativity, what he does with his hands, being destroyed. Idk, just a theory about the band name, sorry it was kinda long xD
I'm so glad I have found you guys. It's been three years since then and I still can't get enough. It's really hard to find bands like yourself that really push to inspire others and bring joy and positivity to those around. As someone who suffers from depression believe me, this really does help. On days that seemed pointless and at times when I thought I was a waste your songs showed me more value then I had come to realize. I know the band may not see this at all, especially being an older video. I just wanted to say thank you, you may not know it, but you're music inspires and helps many. Please keep up the great content and much love from Alabama!
I completely understand you man. Depression fucked me hard enough, thanks to this band and a few others, I stopped drinking, and now I'm just listening to music every moment I can, helps me get through the day everyday. Stay strong Prent :) Much love from Lithuania.
OG Hearty Thank you, and I'm glad to hear that! I can relate, except mine was in the form a combination of pills and drinking. It was definitely hard and trying at times, but in the end I came to realize what really mattered. which ultimately led me to quitting the habits like yourself and finding a lot more happiness with myself. I'm just glad there's bands like this that strive to bring hope and positivity to people, it's rare. Again though thank you so, the comment really made my day :,)
Every night i listen to this before i go to sleep. not doing it in a creepy obsessive way, but the song is just soothing to listen to. especially the instrumental interlude. can't wait to see them dec. 2nd. i payed 172 dollars for 8 tickets not a bad deal at all. and i got two shirts
Just stood there, in my chair, and cried because of the beauty of both the lyrics, music, artwork and the proses of life itself. Amazing. THIS IS SIMPLY AWESOME!
Love that you're all enjoying this song so much - it's one of our favourites. But I've noticed a lot of people commenting on the 'destruction' of the artwork... has anyone considered that the video is in fact the artwork, and the painting is just the medium?
If you like Sleeping With Sirens, Pierce The Veil, A Day To Remember, Hands Like Houses, All Time Low, or any bands like them then please look up my band Defy You Stars! We're on youtube, itunes, rhapsody, facebook, and more! Help us make our dreams of playing music for millions come true!
First time listening to this band and wow. First of all the song is great but the video. A great message was portrayed through it in the simplest way. Absolutly love it
i think there is a huge difference in just putting a couple of instruments together and playing a song VS actually ORCHESTRATING a song. i mean yeah sure, you can make 1 guitar, 1 bass, and drums sound nice too. but this... this is something else. beautiful
this may seem weird but could this song be talking about building a relationship then things start going up in flames and then somehow things get better but it's not the relationship is no longer the same
I think it's cool that rise records always puts the lyrics in the description, but why do they always make a bunch of mistakes? It's like they didn't even try to get them right. They couldn't just simply ask the band what the exact lyrics were? If ur just gunna guess what the lyrics are anyway, then what's the point of adding them!! It's disrespectful to the band in my opinion.
Sometimes they are the ORIGINAL lyrics, i know with a band I like Knuckle Puck they put the original in the description, and the video is obviously the final edited version. So you can see both. Maybe they are just lazy though and you're right haha!

I know what you mean, it makes me very emotional, very hard to put my finger on what exactly makes it like that, but it is definitely there.
Abby Morris for me it's the guitars especially in the beginning and the voice :) and the guitars picking throughout the song.
For me it’s 1:20 - 1:44 that part is most emotional for me

This band got bigger and bigger.

Pure talent in a video, from the music to the artwork.
Just heard this song for the first time...then second third and forth 😂 absolutely love it 😍

Thanks again youtube for recommending a new amazing band
SAME reaction here :)
Thank you iTunes Radio
Find it so frustrating that merely clicking "like" doesn't show from my perspective how fucking awesome this is both visually and musically..where's the +1000 button when you need it?
Eexactly, dude.
Agreed.
goosebumps every time. It's almost like a cheap trick at this point when I hear that fuckin bell
Who’s still jamming this in 2023? 🙋🏻♂️
the intro is still straight heat 10 years later
How about 2024 lol
I wasnt expecting to see this, but hello from 2024
Hello from 2024 🕺
2024 bro
This song and all of "Unimagine" is just so, so beautiful and really gets me emotional. I've been listening to Dissonants a lot, and i like it....but no song on that album tops this.
I totally agree. Dissonants is good, but I'm with you. I feel something when I listen to Unimagine.
Living Infinity Well i'm glad i found someone who agrees :) I've seen so many people praising Dissonants on how its their best album yet, so i felt kinda left out.
A fire on a hill is the first song I have ever heard by HLH it will always be my number 1 of theirs, but I must say, I think Dissonants and Unimagine are equals for me
+Babble Shmabble Totally reasonable! We can agree to dissagree :)
Justine Kennis I agree :D
That was one of the best music videos I have ever seen. So much talent.
I love this entire album
Totally agree very rare is it to find an album where the whole thing is good!

6 years later and this is undoubtedly still one of my favorite records of all time. and this song, though ❤
Its amazing how deep their songs are!
He is one of the few artists I've seen that can hit every note while singing live as on the recorded version.
Kind of gives me the idea that even something beautiful can be destroyed. But there can still be hope, even in destruction.
these guys are my fav band now...everything they've made is phenomenal....ive heard people say they are generic, but tbh they are in my opinion one of the best bands out there right now
Ash can be washed away but memories cannot
Memories cant be washed. But they can be helped by better ones
Realize that and you will love living life again
Excellent in every regard. A much-welcomed breath of fresh air in the industry!
this band makes me proud of being Australian
+Itz BLTZR AU seems to have a lot of talented people, I envy you.
+DreadKyller we also have lots of fuck wits though
I'm jealous!!!!
By far the best band to come from Australia that I've heard of over here in America :D
This makes me proud to be a human being. We are capable of beautiful things and creations :)
Beautiful
God damn it...these guys are so amazing.
Never dissapoint.
watching people paint is so mesmerizing. i swear back when i painted in high school, most of the class spent half their time watching other people paint. its crazy seeing something amazing come out of nothing. also, that sun flare on the camera is so perfect.
This is the coolest thing ever omg props to these girls 👏
They should make a shirt of this
The album this song is on is still in my top 5 all time favorites
This song is so beautiful it makes me want to cry
one of the most underrated bands...this bands deserves recognition...this band is awesm.....u have earned one more fan...
I am a geologist and I love this band and every time I hear one of their songs I can pick out what sounds an awful lot of geology references but that's just me!
This song is seriously the most poetic piece there is. It makes me happy and it captivates my attention
*hiding from a serial killer*
Me: omg I'm gonna die if he finds me
Killer: *triangle sound*

it took me a second to realize what you meant at first i didn't hear it in the song

The song and the video are amazing...

Forever one of the best music videos I’ve seen from new-ish bands. It fits the song in the most captivating way.
I don't know how to explain the way this song and video make me feel
Can't get enough of this song... Not to mention the brilliance that is the album... I could listen to it forever
They went from great to fucking great
Artist and musician goals all in one video. I really appreciate HLH because it's like they get me. I dunno. I have just been in love with them for a year now.
Still a masterpiece
They're making the painting like a story, and as through progression, the house catches fire.....Genius.
What a great idea for a video
Two forms of art combined to create a beautiful masterpiece. Brilliant.
Is someone else walking through his memories in 2019?
2020
God this song is so good! The different dynamics are so nice! His voice and the music is so impressive.
If you let your anger destroy something that was once flawless, you can fix it. But it will never be the same.

Of course. no problem

whos still listening 2016?

yup yup
Every night i listen to this before i go to sleep. not doing it in a creepy obsessive way, but the song is just soothing to listen to. especially the instrumental interlude. can't wait to see them dec. 2nd. i payed 172 dollars for 8 tickets not a bad deal at all. and i got two shirts
only found them
still here bro

I know that's probably not the intended meaning, but I can't help but think of conjuring a spell with this song.
Who gives a fuck
The meaning behind the song is about writing a song lol
Oh yeah, no, I figured I was entirely off base, but still.
I can understand that! That's actually a really awesome way of interpreting it.
No words to describe this.. It's just.. Wow.. They are the best band I discovered so far, they're really good.
BR ❤️
This song will never get old
Do they play this song live? I'm really curious
I freaking hope so! Seeing them next week! I will film it if they do :)
Saw them last Tuesday. They played this as their encore song. Wish I could experience it all over again. So good. :D
for some reason I really want that painting... I dont know what it is about the finishing product that I like so much but it just captivates me.
