This band was, and will always be my favorite. No one else has ever created the textures and atmospheres they have. Overlooked, underrated and basically screwed by the universe. This is TRUE art.
they never really seemed to want to be more than what they were, from what I've read about them, they didn't even really label themselves a band, and rarely even had intentions if touring. can't say that got screwed if they totally rode in their terms
@@SloshJomba698 Agree 100%! When I say screwed, I mean in terms of financial success, not real worth. In that respect they are VERY successful! I can't help but dream of a world where I turn on the radio and hear "Again at #1 this week, it's Hum!" lol....but I like to dream!
Its kinda funny, been a fan for a while now, and at first listen I was a little unsure of the new album but this kind of hits the nail on the head with it honestly
I think it was 1997 or so and I saw them play at West Side Park. I asked Brian before the show if there was any way they could play boy with stick and he wondered how I even knew of that song. Then he remembered it was a b-side on the pod EP. He also said he had no clue if they all knew how to play it... and then years later they did play it at furnace fest. It was one of the few I never heard live. Its right up there with Diffuse. Wear your earplugs, kids!
Same with Puppets and Aphids even though they have a different vibe and are from a slightly different era. Hum just knows how to create amazing music no matter if it’s mellow, heavy or BOTH! Haha
I'm just so thrilled that I'm not the only one that knows of Hum and loves them to death. Every song on You'd Prefer An Astronaut makes me basically tear up.
Rest in peace man... It literally breaks my heart ill never get to see you live... It'll be something I'll never get over...this music means so much to me
Hum is one of the best bands ever. I wish more people knew about them, but I think the fact that most people don't makes their music that much more beautiful and ethereal. Everything they have ever done is amazing.
This song, to me, is about a dog. I have four of them. I feel this song everytime I hear it. Be good to your buddies, one day they won't be there to lick your face, steal your pizza, and thump their tails on furniture. I promise not to cry
I'd never thought about it like this, but having lost my best friend in the world recently - thinking of these lyrics from that perspective absolutely crushes me... In the best way. Thank you.
So on point! You captured it. Listening right now and looking at a new member of the family getting settled in on an outdoor couch....a retired seeing eye dog who can now say.... I can relax!!........thanks for your comment 11 months ago!!
I heard them called "shoegaze" so I checked out some other shoegaze labeled bands and they sucked ass, at least compared to Hum. Swervedriver, Dig, and Slint were a few but they just sounded like generic alt-rock to me. These guys are like extremely heavy psychedelic rock
@@vinniecentz that's the one I heard. It had a very creepy atmospheric vibe to it but I couldn't get into it. I'm more into the heavy rock/alt-metal aspect of 90s music. Failure is another great band that I always heard lumped in with Hum even though in my opinion they sound nothing alike. Failure is much darker. Hum always reminded me of Smashing Pumpkins or a more melodic Deftones without the radio-friendly bigger budget major label sound. What they should have sounded like to me.
When I saw Hum play this song at Furnace Fest after years of imagining how great it would be to see/hear this played live. I started to have near panic attacks because of the rush. The only moment in my life where I can seriously say music gave me a complete feeling of euphoria and terror at the same time. And no I wasn't on drugs. After about 20 seconds into the song it was pure bliss and quite possibly the best concert going experience of my life. I saw them again in Champaign a year or so later and it was awesome. But that Furnace Fest show was the best thing ever. And this song is my favorite. Love it. So awesome. Anyway. Great band. The best. Can't wait to see them again now that they're making music again. Come to Omaha dudes. "You are my biggest fan." -Bill
So lucky to say I was able to see HUM twice, Once in '98 on the Downward tour at 1st Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota ( My home state and Favorite venue ) and once at Cobrafest in 2016 on 4th of July weekend.
I firstly listened to HUM when I was a university student when alternative music (or modern rock music) was so popular. HUM is so special, I feel like listening to sound made of metal and magnet bits inside a brain... Very special. Listening as loud as I could in a car while driving when I was young was a pure joy.
RIP BSP, this song is my creme de la creme of their recorded material. Proud to own it on 2 CD singles (Stars & The Pod Singles) as well as the green 7"
If I have to settle up now I'd really need to find you If we have to die alone Let's take a walk and watch the bugs fly I like when you sleep still I move with time I promise not to die It moves inside your mind Everything is fine And the world rings on the next blue If I have to miss a road too And I have to spot it over you Your hands will be within the sunsets Let me with your life But I come clean from tears now I really need to shine If I have to settle up now A million billion souls So always know I tried

I'm so glad that I came across these unreleased hum songs,they are so amazing, I hope hum makes more awesome heavy melodic shoegaze songs like they always have,they are amazing.
I first heard this song when I found the Stars CD single in a music shop. What an absolutely punishing gem... Still gives me goosebumps (even listening through youtube on laptop speakers). Rest in peace, Bryan.
Hum has been one of my all-time favorite bands since i heard Stars 2 years ago. Those massive and melodic guitar riffs make their music so good. I wish they would come Finland to play.
I remember hearing this song in a dream. It was so vivid it was a couple years back but everytime I hear this song I remember it so clearly. Basically I was in some Halloween store browsing for masks in the 90s and this was playing in the store, and it was on mtv and there was a music video for it and everything I looked at the video for a bit it was 1:00 in and the band was in a sunny field just walking around while the song played it had this greenish effect to it. It just felt super 90s to me which is weird since my childhood was mostly from the year 2000 ( i was born in 96) and pretty much man I just love and appreciate this song so much it managed to reach me in my dreams and I swear I feel like I time travel back to that place that never existed.
+Caleb Keegan there may be an influence from Hum that Chino Moreno acknowledged, but The Deftones took it further with deeper sounds that grip the heart and soul. "This is a heavy record, and it's where Deftones get a big part of our influence from, tone-wise. There are these huge chords going on, a huge backbeat, rolling basslines going on underneath, a lot of that has directly inspired certain songs. There's a wall of sound guitar, it's heavy and even bombastic in a way, but it's produced very well. We approached the producer about doing something for us, I think around our first or second record. I think the vocals are an acquired taste, he didn't have the best singing voice and he talk-sings, but the lyrics are very scientific, he sings about the stars and astrophysics, really odd topics, but the songs are really warm, there's a romantic vibe there as well. I knew I had to pick some records that inspired us that were older records, and this is one - I listen to this now and it's stood the test of time, and Deftones were definitely influenced by it". (Chino Moreno)
Caleb Keegan saw Korn live in New York City @ The Limelight old church in 1995. Never heard Deftones before. Steph started playing Bored and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up the spider sense tingled. Ran to the front of the stage . First time seeing Deftones Steph had a red ESP guitar with a Decal that read Pervert! Maybe that’s why I like Hum and Deftones so much and one other insane guitar sound band is My Dying Bride.
I’m so happy I went onto Apple Music and clicked on deftones influences. I had seen hum stars and listened to it and thought it was badass so I checked out there second album downward is heavenward and now I’m in love!!
without a doubt one of their best songs. I love the guitar layering and how progressive it is. You have to listen to it a couple of times, but after that it grows on you and is catchy as hell. Definitely put this on repeat.
On my You'd Prefer An Astronaut playlist, I have Boy With Stick as the opening track for the album and it works wonderfully with the flow of the album. This song is so good. 🎸
@@DouglasP_ I picked up the remastered CDs for You'd Prefer An Astronaut and Downward Is Heavenward. DIH came with Puppets, Aphids, and Boy With Stick as bonus tracks. Ripped them and slapped Boy With Stick at the start of YPAA. Now they sound nice and balanced.

Can't believe this never made it onto the album. Luckily I have the double LP reissue with this and the puppets EP on as bonus tracks, so I can pretend it did.
This is GOLD! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I also need to re-upload most of my vids...they are in widescreen instead of standard and it cuts off matt's head. :[
They need to release all their b-sides, or re-record 'em and put out a new disk! Add Song02 from Kissing Demos... this is one of my favorites by Hum... and I can't even properly buy it.
@@ab8817 I mean, I’m not saying they’re a shoegaze band, I’m just saying that have some songs that heavily lean in the direction of modern shoegaze. By modern shoegaze I mean bands like Nothing and Whirr. Afternoon with the Axolotls, If You Are To Bloom, and Little Dipper are all great examples. All three bands use a ton of Maj7/Maj7add9/Maj9 chords, heavily effects pedal guitars, and ethereal vocals, so who’s to say one is shoegaze and one’s not? I’ve been a massive fan of Hum for years before the whole zoomergaze trend started, and I’d always considered them shoegaze adjacent. I’m sure many people who aren’t Zoomers and are just fans of heavy shoegaze would agree with me
@@omnis1182 they're space rock at best. stop trying to call everything shoegaze. no one was ever calling Hum a shoegaze band (because they're not) until recently, where now people are calling anything and everything shoegaze because guitars. you don't have to call everything shoegaze. btw deftones aren't shoegaze.
@@ab8817Dude, you need to chill the fuck out, it’s really not that serious. I am not the brain dead tiktok trend hopping shoegaze zoomer you think I am. I’m a grown ass man. We are each entitled to our own interpretation of the music and where it fits sonically. I was interested in a fun debate as to why Hum can be considered to have pioneered a modern shoegaze sound, but now I see you are kind of an angry mumbling nerd. Get off of the social media and spend some time outside.
They do have a similar sound in some songs, when things get real heavy, but they’re definitely not shoegaze. I would say Cloakroom is a decent measure for how shoegaze something is.
It’s not unfortunately but they did re-release their discography on vinyl and CD recently and boy with stick is on downward is heavenward as a bonus track along with aphids/puppets.

This band was, and will always be my favorite. No one else has ever created the textures and atmospheres they have. Overlooked, underrated and basically screwed by the universe. This is TRUE art.

@@jminorthreat in a sense, I agree, but also enjoy the fact that they aren't plastered all over the place, wouldn't make it as enjoyable
You can't just like Hum, you have to dive head first into them and become morbidly addicted
these comments brought an ear to ear grin to my face!
Glad people share the same healthy obsession.
Spot on. Been obsessed since 95.
And that I am

When that distortion hits nothing has been that good ever
That riff is so huge. One of the best songs never to make an album
Same with Puppets and Aphids even though they have a different vibe and are from a slightly different era. Hum just knows how to create amazing music no matter if it’s mellow, heavy or BOTH! Haha
Rest in peace to the mighty Brian Saint Pere
One of the most underrated and skilled drummers in existence
Can’t agree with this more!
My favorite drummer to this day.
Absolute monster on the kit.
i seriously don't understand how anyone could dislike any of Hum's music. it's literally perfect.
I'm just so thrilled that I'm not the only one that knows of Hum and loves them to death. Every song on You'd Prefer An Astronaut makes me basically tear up.
Little Dipper and Hate it Too are my favorite tracks
Green to me and dream boat are amazing songs as well.
Agreed, on all levels.
Before there was The Deftones... there was a band called HUM.
there has never been a band called 'the' deftones.
@@stephenhall2980😂💯
Rest in peace man... It literally breaks my heart ill never get to see you live... It'll be something I'll never get over...this music means so much to me
No other bands style of music fits the name of their band more than Hum.
Hum is one of the best bands ever. I wish more people knew about them, but I think the fact that most people don't makes their music that much more beautiful and ethereal. Everything they have ever done is amazing.
it feels like i’m crashing through the atmosphere backdown straight to the center of the earth maybe a boy with stick will wait for me there…
This song, to me, is about a dog. I have four of them. I feel this song everytime I hear it. Be good to your buddies, one day they won't be there to lick your face, steal your pizza, and thump their tails on furniture.

RIP Sherwin 12/19/22. He was my best friend in the whole world. I miss him every day.
This band is more space rock than any officially space rock-labeled band out there.
The truest statement ever made
No ...Spacemen 3

"Somehow Hum does a 7/8 song that sludges it way to heaven"
Are a lot of their songs in 7/8?

saw them with Failure in 2015. I had a couple of those moments myself. Just phenomenal. Waited a long time to see them.
I envy you with a passion. I live on the other side of the planet and sadly I can only dream of such things. :(
I was there too. That was probably the best show I've seen. I never thought I'd see them live. They were perfect.
I was there too
Haven't seen them live since the Downward is Heavenward tour in late 90's. Really wish I could see them again.
the wonderful droning wave of sound that is ...HUM

Goddamnit, Hum. True masters of their craft.
Thank god this music was ever made at all. So sincere, earnest and just fucking rocks!
Listening to the Inlet album. I haven’t listened to it in a while. Remarkable album. Please don’t sleep on this beautiful album!
Been a fan since 1997. Still haven't found a better band since
have you listened to Failure?
And you won't.
I don't know Meat Puppets & Primus are pretty good

I like when you sleep still
I move with time
I promise not to die
It moves inside your mind
Everything is fine
And the world rings on the next blue

And I have to spot it over you
Your hands will be within the sunsets
Let me with your life
But I come clean from tears now
I really need to shine
If I have to settle up now

+EmceeHo13 couldn't agree more
+James Pummer The "Hum Chord" = Major 7add9 but barred to give it that "power chord" sound. Almost every Hum song uses it and it's awesome.
The Deftones song Minerva has the same chord progression as the Hum song Stars, just slowed down. Check it out.

Aeons ahead of their time in chords and musical form.
I think they're closer to Brahms or something?
I keep coming back to this song after all these years. Truly a great jam.
HUM. the best super!! it comforts me promise cross my head.
This and Baby Baby are labelled as album tracks when they’re both B-sides from the Stars single. Either way, enormous song. Hum still rocks!!
One of their best ones
These guys were geniuses in every aspect and should be looked at as nothing less
holy shit I've never heard this one. its awesome. This band needs to tour again.
just discovered it now. it has brought a tear to my eye.
THAT FUCKING RHYTHM GUITAR IS EPIC!

3:10am yup seems right. This track kills me every time
very good band im all into them now.
The best song of all time
Still my all time favorite

@@omnis1182 they're space rock at best. stop trying to call everything shoegaze. no one was ever calling Hum a shoegaze band (because they're not) until recently, where now people are calling anything and everything shoegaze because guitars. you don't have to call everything shoegaze. btw deftones aren't shoegaze.
@@ab8817Dude, you need to chill the fuck out, it’s really not that serious. I am not the brain dead tiktok trend hopping shoegaze zoomer you think I am. I’m a grown ass man. We are each entitled to our own interpretation of the music and where it fits sonically. I was interested in a fun debate as to why Hum can be considered to have pioneered a modern shoegaze sound, but now I see you are kind of an angry mumbling nerd. Get off of the social media and spend some time outside.
They do have a similar sound in some songs, when things get real heavy, but they’re definitely not shoegaze. I would say Cloakroom is a decent measure for how shoegaze something is.
