As someone who is trans and mainly has trans friends, I’m sending this to everyone I know lmao. My wife (who is, surprise, also trans) absolutely loves this and also the collab with eve 6 (her favorite band!) thank you for making something so beautiful and meaningful!
This is why I love ska, and the scene we have. Acceptance is great and life is great and it’s great to be part of our scene that accepts folks for wanted to live their lives in their truest forms.
I just love and appreciate this so much. I've been getting back into ska heavy the last few months and also have been dealing with a lot of dysphoria and struggles related to my trans identity. When I see y'all live I'm going to cry while dancing for suuuuure
What an amazing song and music video! It's very relatable. I'm so glad you're feeling loved and supported in coming out, Reade! Much love to you, Brandon, Ricky, Jer, and Brent! 🖤
Having music like this when I was younger would have been incredible and so helpful to me. I'm so glad Ordinary Life exists, thank you for the beautiful album! I'm going to be jamming to this for a long time and certainly sending it to anyone who I know is dealing with gender!
This is the song that introduced me to WATU. I haven't watched the music video in a while, so now after a year, I actually recognize Jer instead of not knowing who anybody was, so seeing them as a zombie makes the video that much cooler (I did understand the metaphor originally with who I now know is Reade, but now I just have even more context lol)
If I was better at social media I would have found this gold sooner. But, later is better than never. Keep it up! Always loved STN, and glad to find this too!!!
Every time I listen to this song, my hear skips a beat and my eyes fill with tears as I sing the lyrics. Ordinary Life helped my egg finally crack back when it first released. Thank you so much for existing. Love, A trans women who would never have existed without this band
OmGOD I’ve been listening to this song for so long and been bopping to it in my playlists, only just now payed attention to the lyrics and realized it was queer
[Chorus] Let go these morbid obsessions Every thought feels like a confession She said, she said, she said If I get one life, I'm gonna do what I want If I get one life, I'm gonna do what I want SHE WAS A MESS She was a mess at 17 Running down a dream Stuck in this endless empty feeling GIVE IT A REST Give it a rest, chastened the girls around Her lonely heart was a ghost town They said "Son, you better settle down" And [Chorus] NOW HERE COME THE DRUGS Here come the drugs and the booze Razors, wrists, and self-abuse Trapped like a rat, got nothing left to lose SHE WANTED TO DRESS Like all the other girls Head full of curls They said, "Son, you can't always get what you want in this world" [Chorus] [Instrumental bridge] [Outro + Chorus - not sure about these] (Whoa! My heart, a blessed and heavy stone) (Whoa! A heavy stone)
I may be gender apathetic, but FUCK this song resonates with me. Which is why its so great, any person who is part of the trans (and for some, even just homosexual!) community can relate to it. Hell, if it sings to you about other topics relating to identity, you still can! Love this song and I don't know where it's been all my life, definitely making sure to follow 'We Are The Union' now!!
Old and busted: "My egg cracked"
New hotness: "I got hit by a truck and now I'm a zombie"
the true trans experience
We got isekai'd
I love the sheer transness of this song
Bringing a new meaning to "deadnaming"
damn, the first moment with JER in the bar is powerful
I was wondering where Jer was...what a reveal.
Agreed, I really loved it
The knowing nod is such a real trans mood too
it makes me cry almost everytime I watch it. I also love the use of the oversize hoodie
This is... so many things. Brilliant music, a beautiful story, and that freaking trombone solo slaps so hard (go Jer!) I love it. All of it
I only disliked what you said to not interrupt 69 likes. I absolutely agree lol
Favorite behind the scenes moment: making Brent steal a bunch of dirt for the graveyard scene
She's so goals

Also, the fried pickles made us lose our minds and made us crave them
It's not a wife but a partner
@@treska5436she’s now my ex wife but also I didn’t ask
@@treska5436 shut up, trash
Brian David Gilbert's twitter brought me here but I'm staying for the fricking great music!!! ❤
same! didnt realise it was gonna hit so close to home, but im glad im here now lol
This is why I love ska, and the scene we have. Acceptance is great and life is great and it’s great to be part of our scene that accepts folks for wanted to live their lives in their truest forms.
Yo! JER being like... “it’s cool.. I’m a zombie too...” or it’s cool to be yourself. Has me proud to be in the ska community right now
This band is saving my fucking soul right now, love you guys so much!
Skatune killing it on the trombone as usual!
this video has more emotional depth than most major films, truly top tier
The best transition in a video I’ve ever seen ❤😂
I just love and appreciate this so much. I've been getting back into ska heavy the last few months and also have been dealing with a lot of dysphoria and struggles related to my trans identity. When I see y'all live I'm going to cry while dancing for suuuuure
YOU GO!
The creativity of these music videos never fails to impress me
Thank you!
I've been watching this video nonstop since yesterday and only now i understood the real meaning of it. This is incredible
very literal transness, amazing.
What an amazing song and music video! It's very relatable. I'm so glad you're feeling loved and supported in coming out, Reade! Much love to you, Brandon, Ricky, Jer, and Brent! 🖤
Trombone has a great freaking tone! Perfect balance in the recording too!
Having music like this when I was younger would have been incredible and so helpful to me.
I'm so glad Ordinary Life exists, thank you for the beautiful album! I'm going to be jamming to this for a long time and certainly sending it to anyone who I know is dealing with gender!

Big love to WATU forever.
Love it! Heard about it from your tik tok video!
IM SO IN LOVE
JER (skatune network) being a zombie too is acc so clever cos ofc they're trans too (non=binary) that is what the 'zombies' represent right?
yep! the zombies are serving as trans allegories.
This is badass
I love this sm!

So wholesome 🤍💜💙🤍💜💙
Hell yeah! Ska is trans now!
They gotta stay relevant somehow, right???? Hahahaha
always has been
Horrible
Ska has a 41% chance of...lol
Now that is awesome
OmGOD I’ve been listening to this song for so long and been bopping to it in my playlists, only just now payed attention to the lyrics and realized it was queer
I guess you could say that her old name really is her dead name. Bad dum tss
[Chorus]
Let go these morbid obsessions
Every thought feels like a confession
She said, she said, she said
If I get one life, I'm gonna do what I want
If I get one life, I'm gonna do what I want
SHE WAS A MESS
She was a mess at 17
Running down a dream
Stuck in this endless empty feeling
GIVE IT A REST
Give it a rest, chastened the girls around
Her lonely heart was a ghost town
They said "Son, you better settle down"
And
[Chorus]
NOW HERE COME THE DRUGS
Here come the drugs and the booze
Razors, wrists, and self-abuse
Trapped like a rat, got nothing left to lose
SHE WANTED TO DRESS
Like all the other girls
Head full of curls
They said, "Son, you can't always get
what you want in this world"
[Chorus]
[Instrumental bridge]
[Outro + Chorus - not sure about these]
(Whoa! My heart, a blessed and heavy stone)
(Whoa! A heavy stone)
(please correct me if you know different!)
Woah, a heart of glass, a head of stone.
🔥🐐🔥
God this is beautiful. Love y'all so much
Well, that was brilliant.
Grammy incoming
This video slaps
Wonderful tune dudes - cheers from Brazil!
God I love this
What if ska but it make u cry?
I gotta admit this is what pushed me over the edge, and now I honestly like stuff after first-wave ska. WATU fucking slaps.
this made me cry
Hell yea!!!!!!! 💚💚💚💚💚
This video is amazing, so many different things going on and just *chefs kiss* and the emotions I felt is just ugh damn good music video 🖤🏳️🌈
