2024, listened to why in my late teens and 20s. Got kicked out of a bar in grand rapids Michigan, snuck back in and got to sing along to all my favorites with these guys! Stoid not even 3 feet from the band. God i miss the early 2000s
I had the privilege of seeing Why? at a little place called Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio in Denton, Tx at least 20 years ago and they impressed me so much that I will never forget them. Incredible band.
It's a fan made video?!? That's awesome they got it exactly and not just because they depicted it by each word because they did that and had the emotional vibe shown for each depicted line good job #StartOne
This song is amazing, as is this video. When I first read that it was fan made I was really surprised. Great job! I love that you inserted the moth into those scenes. All I have to say is positive remarks. This is one of those songs that makes me shiver... one of those songs you can really feel when you listen, and not just hear
Man I'm so in love with this song, idk how someone could hate this. I can't seem to get this tune out of my head, especially the chorus. "There was a moth caught in the soap dish laminated in lye, will you still remember me well? If I don't get two oh oh five, my dead line Gemini."
allenpalin that’s my Gemini girlfriends birthday too! Except she’s 3 years younger than you... as am I... probably why I’m 3 years late on this “nostalgia revisit” and commentary on your comment... haha...
this might be my favorite song from this album. and this video, though i will never understand how you came up with the concept, suits it perfectly! good stuff!
Its 'dream' instead of 'think'. That refers to the line 'i want a verb and you give me a noun'. Dream and tongue are verbs and nouns aswell- this is a nice lil word play Wolf implemented. Sorry for the disturbance :-)
If you can think outside the box and not be freaked out by quirkiness, rather take a few minutes to soak in something new and listen to deep, powerful lyrics, then Why? is the shit
Eskimo Snow is a great album also, deven though it ended up getting panned because critics were expecting more of the same from Yoni. Into the Shadows of My Embrace, These Hands, January Twentysomething, The Blackest Purse, Eskimo Snow...these were some of my favorite songs of last year.
It starts with you on a mattress in your parents' old room Clipping your toenails into the room like the room will fade And you will move onto other rooms And you will go to other places Then the wedding, then the woman passed out In the driver's seat at the order board at White Castle We woke her up and she went 'round to the pick-up window Like she knew exactly where she was Then I wept with my face in your nightshirt Trying hard as hell to say 'until death separates us' Loosening the skin on your breastbone I painted your nails and you sleep while I write all this down There was a moth caught in the soapdish laminated in lye Will you still remember me well If I don't get to 0-0-5? My dead line Gemini When we're on different sides of the globe I thought we'd keep our veins tangled like a pair of mic cables And if there ain't enough slack to reach That we'd solder them together, 'cross oceans they'd stretch Our faces reflected in separate windshields And all our body hair pricked up in elephant eyelash Should we be tempted by thief or by saint It seems I leave and you stay to crowd the cage and curse But don't regret the done dirt There is no life plan set You just swallow the coal and follow your breath until death Now even if the will to sleep persists I can't cause a harsh cloth, it grazes my blisters There was a moth cought in the soapdish laminated in lye Will you still remember me well If I don't get to 0-0-5? Dead line Gemini Today I fell asleep in a bath of hair Hair that once sprouted from my own white wet chalk follicles I swallow a coal and follow my breath And I did it with the grapefruit soap, thinking of you Bathed, shaved, and oiled, your legs are two skinny dolphins swimming Between the mattress and the layers of bedding Turning in your drug-dry sleep When I ask you to kiss my pulse You offer to start the shower I want a verb and you give me a noun What do you dream up while I tongue you down? There was a moth cought in the soapdish laminated in lye Will you still remember me well If I don't get to 0-0-5? Dead line Gemini Ad You know my build You know my size The degree to which my eyes are astigmatic
@Ryufire I actually have always thought that little bit was the most interesting and creative line I'd heard in any song. Why? is such a great band. =]
This album came out in 2005, so the song was probably written in 2004. Sounds like he was thinking about suicide and not sure if he'd make it to 2-0-0-5.
hey, you should upload a higher quality video of this! my friends and i really like it. you should send it to why?, too. i think they'd appreciate it, it's beautiful!
2023 and this song still hits, Why is so underrated
it has been almost a decade since I heard this song for the first time but I still can't get over it...
I have never experienced even near to this much emotion from another song in my entire life.
2024, listened to why in my late teens and 20s. Got kicked out of a bar in grand rapids Michigan, snuck back in and got to sing along to all my favorites with these guys! Stoid not even 3 feet from the band. God i miss the early 2000s
Enjoying this album as much now as I did almost a decade ago!
I had the privilege of seeing Why? at a little place called Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studio in Denton, Tx at least 20 years ago and they impressed me so much that I will never forget them. Incredible band.
I can’t believe this song is 15 years old. Will always have a special place in my heart when I heard in rehab for eating disorder in 2011
i can't describe how much this song means to me- and the heartfullness of this video.
-may 30th
This song and video still make me choke up. Best fan made music video I've seen.
+Daniel Ramirez me too. crying now
It's a fan made video?!?
That's awesome
they got it exactly and not just because they depicted it by each word
because they did that and had the emotional vibe shown for each depicted line
good job
#StartOne
Fighting through the tears in 2024.
It will be ok bro
I know how it feels,feeling out of place with somebody that you consider to be so much better than yourself.
Well done.
My favorite band, I've listened to nothing but Why? For a month now.
This song is amazing, as is this video. When I first read that it was fan made I was really surprised. Great job! I love that you inserted the moth into those scenes.

incredible song, and one of the most memorable music videos i've ever seen.
Man I'm so in love with this song, idk how someone could hate this. I can't seem to get this tune out of my head, especially the chorus.
"There was a moth caught in the soap dish laminated in lye, will you still remember me well? If I don't get two oh oh five, my dead line Gemini."
this song (and video) still hits just as hard as did 10 years ago
This band is perfect.
Born May 30th 1984, during Solar Eclipse....wow I am really, really, really Special!!!!
I knew I was weird...HA
allenpalin that’s my Gemini girlfriends birthday too! Except she’s 3 years younger than you... as am I... probably why I’m 3 years late on this “nostalgia revisit” and commentary on your comment... haha...
I really love this band, Elephant eyelash is a great album. I have to commend them on their lyrical genius...great video
You know my build, you know my size, the degree to which my eyes are astigmatic
this video is hauntingly beautiful, its so emotionally charged that i feel incomplete and regretful right now
beautiful
Best music video ever. Yoni Wolf is a brilliant lyricist, and my favorite MC.
fanmade video?... mindblowing!!!
The video is really great. I've woken up just like that, you're greeted with a flashback you really don't want to have. Brilliant video.

Great work Christopher. Don't ever stop!
Brilliant, brilliant video

4:45-5:05 is giving me goosebumps everytime i listen to this song and i think i have more than a hundred plays.

amazing.
This video is too great for words.
What a beautifully shot video

Its 'dream' instead of 'think'.
That refers to the line 'i want a verb and you give me a noun'. Dream and tongue are verbs and nouns aswell- this is a nice lil word play Wolf implemented.
Sorry for the disturbance :-)

Eskimo Snow is a great album also, deven though it ended up getting panned because critics were expecting more of the same from Yoni. Into the Shadows of My Embrace, These Hands, January Twentysomething, The Blackest Purse, Eskimo Snow...these were some of my favorite songs of last year.
Definitely an interesting video. Kept me engaged.
this is still dope
so high, so in love.
absolutely amazing. cheers, anticon.
i didnt get this at all, but it was so beautiful
It starts with you on a mattress in your parents' old room
Clipping your toenails into the room like the room will fade
And you will move onto other rooms
And you will go to other places
Then the wedding, then the woman passed out
In the driver's seat at the order board at White Castle
We woke her up and she went 'round to the pick-up window
Like she knew exactly where she was
Then I wept with my face in your nightshirt
Trying hard as hell to say 'until death separates us'
Loosening the skin on your breastbone
I painted your nails and you sleep while I write all this down
There was a moth caught in the soapdish laminated in lye
Will you still remember me well
If I don't get to 0-0-5? My dead line Gemini
When we're on different sides of the globe
I thought we'd keep our veins tangled like a pair of mic cables
And if there ain't enough slack to reach
That we'd solder them together, 'cross oceans they'd stretch
Our faces reflected in separate windshields
And all our body hair pricked up in elephant eyelash
Should we be tempted by thief or by saint
It seems I leave and you stay to crowd the cage and curse
But don't regret the done dirt
There is no life plan set
You just swallow the coal and follow your breath until death
Now even if the will to sleep persists
I can't cause a harsh cloth, it grazes my blisters
There was a moth cought in the soapdish laminated in lye
Will you still remember me well
If I don't get to 0-0-5? Dead line Gemini
Today I fell asleep in a bath of hair
Hair that once sprouted from my own white wet chalk follicles
I swallow a coal and follow my breath
And I did it with the grapefruit soap, thinking of you
Bathed, shaved, and oiled, your legs are two skinny dolphins swimming
Between the mattress and the layers of bedding
Turning in your drug-dry sleep
When I ask you to kiss my pulse
You offer to start the shower
I want a verb and you give me a noun
What do you dream up while I tongue you down?
There was a moth cought in the soapdish laminated in lye Will you still remember me well
If I don't get to 0-0-5? Dead line Gemini
Ad
You know my build
You know my size
The degree to which my eyes are astigmatic
@Ryufire I actually have always thought that little bit was the most interesting and creative line I'd heard in any song. Why? is such a great band. =]
wow, fucking beautiful.
Aw =/
I love this song
@teejscorner "is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?" edgar allen poe,1849. read the whole poem. its amazing.
This is why I search for music
Amazing!!!, I cant belived that is a fan video!
10 starts (if this is possible)
it’s been 2 decades since i heard this song for the first time! I win.
Are you a time traveler?
2004-5 is the first time I heard it I think
5*'s favoring. Amazing :)
know them for like 2 hours and i like them more than all the indi bands i know
There was a moth caught in the soapdish laminated in lye
Will... you still... remember me well
If I don't get to 0-0-5? My dead line Gemini
This album came out in 2005, so the song was probably written in 2004. Sounds like he was thinking about suicide and not sure if he'd make it to 2-0-0-5.
The guy is so funny!
God bless the little children.
WHY? = Awesome. Look it up.

This song is happy sad af.
