I was remembering how I used to listen to this acoustic song years ago and all I had to run on was something about a lion and a bunch of guys in a white room. For weeks I’ve tried to find this and it finally came to me in a dream and I woke up and found it! Thank God!! I remember why I loved this song now!
Lion Skin is about the place between awake and asleep, when you have something heavy on your mind and when your imagination is the most vivid. I love the way HLH express the song meanings. Their overall talent is overwhelming.
I love that feeling you see them get at 2:16 when you can just feel the song coming together. It's kind of hard to explain, but I'm sure if you're in a band you know this feeling. It's a feeling where you just have to smile, because you know you all have come so far.
I wonder, can you daydream at night? Lying awake, I've had too much time I'm watching picture shows in the shadows Dance for the crowd tonight Imagination is such a vivid place to hide While stars watch over you Through silent homes The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling We'll hear everything except what we need to hear Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads While stars watch over you Through silent homes The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls Cast the sheep out of your mind Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses But I'm at home, a ghost that has left behind his sheets Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you And I'll walk while stars watch over you Through silent homes The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls The way I've walked before Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls The lights are out but I walk these halls Cast the sheep out of your mind Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
no, this simply IS the best band you have heard in a long time. if you havent already pick up a copy of their debut album ground dweller, its pretty lovely.
Never heard of Fort Hope. Very much love HLH, Slaves (US), DGD etc. Quick song load of Fort Hope and very much impressed, so cheers for the comment. I'm off to binge now!
awesome, I loved it!! my one criticism is that the vocals kinda sounded... forced, like he was power belting the whole song. the really powerful belting is good but should be used in moderation so to speak, you feel me? not saying he's a bad singer by any means though, one of my all time favorites, but this song wasn't necessarily his best work. but I still loved it. hands like houses will always be one of my favorite bands!! (also, check out the 2010 hair. nice)
This is certainly when he was still a bit more inexperienced/new... Listen to the Snow sessions version and you can tell a big difference in his delivery. He just keeps getting better in my opinion :)
Just saw these guys a few nights ago play their first show on the tour and it was EPIC!!!!! GO see them! I got to meet them and they are the most humble guys and their live show was just as good if not better then their cd
Why do we all have to fight about who's better, can't we all just be happy that we like the type of music that isn't mainstream and just sit back and enjoy it? :)
I have been listening to both versions of this song for almost hmmmm a good day now. I still haven't gotten sick of it. It's safe to say this is a band I will be following for a while!
Why doesn't this have more views? I hit replay like 100 times a day. I listen to this song i don't even realize that is still playing, but it is. The only down fall to that is i think my girlfriend hates hands like houses now.
yeah, i know exactly what you mean. when i found this band i was just like wow!! They all play instruments in their acoustic songs, and they are just so powerful and talented. and ground dweller wasn't what i expected it to be at all, although i really fell in love with it after maybe four days
Hello everyone! You can now hear the full band version of this song ft. Tyler Carter (woe is me) and Jonny Craig (emarosa, Dance Gavin Dance). Exclusively on our facebook now!
This song was on replay last night for about two hours. Now, it starts again... :) This is beautiful. I can't even describe how amazing this song makes me feel.
what a genuinely stunning band. I did a drum cover of No Parallels because I enjoyed its explosivity so much, but even stripped down these guys sound wonderful.
This video screams 2010 in the best of ways. Such much passion in this video. I love how everyone is just looking eachother, probably aware of the magical sound they’re making. The style. The toms. The Stheart. It was all amazing. HLH was always rather well dressed,, prolly cause they’re from Australia and the beach. I’m from San Diego and we all kinda dress like that
10 years later, still know every word to this one.. pure nostalgia. mission this shit.
Will always be my favorite ❤️
Same. Ground Dweller always be my favourite album
Word.
hope you enjoyed the song nonetheless. we recorded it ourselves, mixed it ourselves and it's actually quite old now.
this has been one of my favorite videos in life since it came out
Older now and still like it.
It's ageless.
Pure gold 👌
I'm still listening in 2022. Love you guys tons!!
14 years later, I still come back to this video and listen to it every now and then.
Same bro, same.
Damn almost 10 years.
Hope yall been great this past decade.
"I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear"
Definitely my favorite part of the song.
I was remembering how I used to listen to this acoustic song years ago and all I had to run on was something about a lion and a bunch of guys in a white room. For weeks I’ve tried to find this and it finally came to me in a dream and I woke up and found it! Thank God!! I remember why I loved this song now!
I love how everyone in this band is so lovely!
***** Then get lyrics? It's not all about the band's logo...
***** CTE has blown up really quickly and are one of the most popular bands right now...
This didn't age well...!
13 yrs later and the beauty, love, and passion just fills my soul with pure bliss. Nostalgic
It's amazing going back and seeing how much things have changed. By that I mean their hair styles! Hands Like Houses has always been so amazing!
12 years later and I still listen to this band nearly weekly.
Lion Skin is about the place between awake and asleep, when you have something heavy on your mind and when your imagination is the most vivid.
I love the way HLH express the song meanings. Their overall talent is overwhelming.
Every once and a while a band comes by and completely blows you away. Hands Like Houses was that band for me.
He's unrecognizable in this video
2:24 is one of the best feelings you can have with your band mates. Just smiling bc shits sounding so sick
beautiful...this is true talent
I love that feeling you see them get at 2:16 when you can just feel the song coming together. It's kind of hard to explain, but I'm sure if you're in a band you know this feeling. It's a feeling where you just have to smile, because you know you all have come so far.
It's so nice to know that people inspired by bands like TREOS could make it this far. A new step for prog, no doubt.
Met Cooper and Joel at the Pierce the Veil concert last night which Hands Like Houses were supporting, absolutely fantastic guys.
A part of me is happy that this hasn't reached 1 million views yet.
Kai the hipster part? XD
probably one of the most beautiful songs ever.
I wonder, can you daydream at night?
Lying awake, I've had too much time
I'm watching picture shows in the shadows
Dance for the crowd tonight
Imagination is such a vivid place to hide
While stars watch over you
Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
I promised not to wake you, so I'll walk light, just so you can hear
The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling
We'll hear everything except what we need to hear
Sleeplessness is for the restless, and I'm just fine
Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness
There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes
Let them weave their little webs to snatch the sunlight from the lens
I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight
Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads
While stars watch over you
Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
Cast the sheep out of your mind
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
I stumble in and I stumble out of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses
But I'm at home, a ghost that has left behind his sheets
Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere I know that I've never been
I'll stay 'til sleep takes over you
And I'll walk while stars watch over you
Through silent homes
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
The way I've walked before
Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls
The lights are out but I walk these halls
Cast the sheep out of your mind
Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
❤
I imagined myself sitting in the room listening... overwhelming goose bumps.
wow trenton looked really diffirent here
Right? He looked so young. He's young still, but you know what I mean. XD I love this band. They helped me get me through my hardest times in college.
Who’s trenton?
Are you cheating on me?
Wow I remember watching this when I was thirteen and falling in love with this band for the very first time.. five years later and nothing's changed 💕
Trenton's hair tho
Watching this again bring back so much memories... I've been following this guys since I first saw live videos of them at a cafe
looooooool theyre so fetus. its cute.
i've been addicted to this band since i first listened to them. best. much love.
I really love this song so fucking much.
no, this simply IS the best band you have heard in a long time.
if you havent already pick up a copy of their debut album ground dweller, its pretty lovely.
Trenton Woodley might be the best singer in music right now
Have you heard of Jonathan from fort hope? check out his voice, by far the best i've heard in this type of music
search: Jonny Craig and be amazed
Never heard of Fort Hope. Very much love HLH, Slaves (US), DGD etc. Quick song load of Fort Hope and very much impressed, so cheers for the comment. I'm off to binge now!
This has always been my favorite video. I'm happy I rediscovered it.
Wait syndicate is in hands like houses?
lol. He does look like him
This is my all time favorite song to sing to by them. It just has that amazing flow to it that makes it sound perfect.
2:55 - 3:21 sounds like alexisonfire
Saw these guys live with Silverstein in NY recently and my god they are amazing glad I got to see them and now I am a fan !
Gostei ^^

Discovered this band about 7 or 8 years ago, this is still my favorite song and version of the song, was fortunate enough to see them live too.
why is it so quiet...!
because you're a bitch.
Lol
I can't stop listening to this and their smiles are so contagious! I can't help but smile when they do
3:25 to 3:34 doe
Patrick Wilson yassss
I honestly can not stop listening to this.
awesome, I loved it!! my one criticism is that the vocals kinda sounded... forced, like he was power belting the whole song. the really powerful belting is good but should be used in moderation so to speak, you feel me? not saying he's a bad singer by any means though, one of my all time favorites, but this song wasn't necessarily his best work. but I still loved it. hands like houses will always be one of my favorite bands!! (also, check out the 2010 hair. nice)
Its his style, that's what he likes I guess :)
It's his style. He does it to show he's giving it his all. His best.
This is certainly when he was still a bit more inexperienced/new... Listen to the Snow sessions version and you can tell a big difference in his delivery. He just keeps getting better in my opinion :)
Just saw these guys a few nights ago play their first show on the tour and it was EPIC!!!!! GO see them! I got to meet them and they are the most humble guys and their live show was just as good if not better then their cd
music made in Australia > music in America
Agree
😒😒
This American agrees
I cry mainly because it speaks to me in ways I can't explain and I wish I could express the same emotion the vocalist does.
87 people can't hear
can i just marry all of you?
you haven't got a clue how much i listen to this.
it's been on replay almost for the past month.
this is just perfect.
drums sounds sooooo shaky, like it was improv
still know every word and still one of my favorite versions
I can't stop watching this, it's too beautiful
This song is infinitely better live! Everyone singing along and whatnot the atmosphere was incredible!!! it's adorable acoustic though
Will someone sign these guys already! Diamond in the rough for real. Can't wait for a full cd!
I can't go a day without listening to this.
most talented band ever these guys deserve so much more credit!!!!!!!!!!
i like how you guys all look sleep-deprived but can still manage to sound this good.
Still one of my favorite songs. They're amazing and their songs never get old.
Why do we all have to fight about who's better, can't we all just be happy that we like the type of music that isn't mainstream and just sit back and enjoy it? :)
this song is the definition of my favorite kind of music.
now this is what good music sounds likes. nobody knows what good music is nowadays.
I have been listening to both versions of this song for almost hmmmm a good day now. I still haven't gotten sick of it. It's safe to say this is a band I will be following for a while!
one of my favorite acoustic songs
Why doesn't this have more views? I hit replay like 100 times a day. I listen to this song i don't even realize that is still playing, but it is. The only down fall to that is i think my girlfriend hates hands like houses now.
I love how they look like they are enjoying themselves.
those high notes make me melt.
yeah, i know exactly what you mean.
when i found this band i was just like wow!! They all play instruments in their acoustic songs, and they are just so powerful and talented.
and ground dweller wasn't what i expected it to be at all, although i really fell in love with it after maybe four days
pretty sure this is the best thing I've ever heard. Ever.
these gauys are just too good im soooo soo excited to hear their album!
amazing, just amazing. and their album.
So glad I got the opportunity to see them live when they supported sleeping with sirens
When the whole band comes in a 3:24.....I get chills every single time.
Got no idea how I got here, but I regret nothing. Great music!
Amazing ! Such a good singer ! And band !
thanks! that's a really beautiful meaning and very interesting! no wonder it's one of my favorite songs by them.

This is possibly the best band I have heard in a very long time.
What a talented group of musicians. you guys are inspiring.
Collide with the Sky Tour
im so glad these guys finally got signed. its been a long time coming awesome job guys!! beautiful song
I love all the above, I don't reckon a band can be "better" than another. This is the way THEY express their music. No one should be compared :D
@handslikehouses just wanna say that i lov this song when ever i feel sad i listen to this song and it gets back on my feet:)
This video and this band are amazing! So much talent!
literally get chills when the gang singing comes in. honestly amazing. by far my most anticipated album at the moment. these guys will go far.
Just saw them last night and met Trenton and he was so amazingly nice! The band was perfect live c: It was the most fun I had in a long time~
love your music guys, big fan. please come out with more music
i love these guys so much. i cant wait to hear more from them... this is a great acoustic track.
Gorgeous song; finally inspiring music that has a meaning.
Yeah he's got a wonderful voice and everyone in this amazing band blends so very well. Perfection.
This song was on replay last night for about two hours. Now, it starts again... :) This is beautiful. I can't even describe how amazing this song makes me feel.
The last 2 hours of work today were very similar to your 10 years ago
what a genuinely stunning band. I did a drum cover of No Parallels because I enjoyed its explosivity so much, but even stripped down these guys sound wonderful.
i think this may be my favourite thing you guys have done so far. your acoustic stuff is amazing.
They shouldn't be this underrated! One of my favorite bands.
The whole Album's amazing, I bought it thefirst day at Hot Topic, AMAZING BAND!
I love this song so much Acoustic is great
absolutely flawless guitar playing, and they all kept the rythym very well, which would have been quite hard. well done lads
I'm going to one of those shows too, it's going to kick ass
His voice is perfection
THIS BAND IS PERFECTION!!!
This video screams 2010 in the best of ways. Such much passion in this video. I love how everyone is just looking eachother, probably aware of the magical sound they’re making.
The style. The toms. The Stheart. It was all amazing. HLH was always rather well dressed,, prolly cause they’re from Australia and the beach. I’m from San Diego and we all kinda dress like that
Can't stop listening to Ground Dweller♥ so amazing:)
