      I liked them in '06 AND LISTENED to them harder in '07. It's a very interesting nontraditional ROCK/PROGRESSIVE/ whatever you call it. it may have not worked out for Serj so well, but I really wish he would keep it rolling. He has more then enough talent to keep this style of rock going today!!!!

      As for the video, the giant helps people move from an unfertile land to a fertile land, where they do well, build a town, etc. Unfortunately, he also unwittingly provided a way for envious raiders (or some kind of antagonists) to get to the village and torch it. This really upsets the giant, and he falls to the ground in sadness/anger/etc. This opens up a fault line, water flows through it, etc. He gets up, finds some of the friendly folks, and he picks them up to go find a nice place somewhere, trudging through thick vines and the like.

    Are the birds of a feather that clever,
    If I knew I'd keep locks; that's a given,
    Just wait till then,
    Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers,
    Still small enough to fit up their asses,
    To put it all into perspective with definition,

    We marys had ourselves a ball,
    I must admit,
    Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue,
    Those told to hold: Project on my cue,
    Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall,
    Not needy you'll see, not needy,
    And I come with open arms over trees,
    Not needy you'll see,
    Listen to proven guarantees while you're rollin' up the sleeves,
    Beatin' on your chest,
    But we can keep it in a jar when it's comin' cats and dogs for days,
    We marys had ourselves a ball and I guarantee,
    And what they've done for you, they've done for me.

    After over two years I discovered this band I'm still so in love with it. When I listen to all their songs, even their old demos, I feel they were different. Music has never touched me so deeply before FTM. If you like them you have to listen to the demos, they're even better than the original songs, they feel a lot more authentic.

    I had this one song in my iTunes since middle school in 2007, now I'm in college and just decided to add the rest of this album and their newest one a few weeks ago.
    Holy shit this an amazing and unique band all together.
    If any of you haven't experienced their full albums you are missing out.
    I highly recommend buying all their songs

    I can remember hearing this for the first time on our local rock station many moons ago, and I was instantly hooked. The lead singers vocals are ones that stick with you..Totally unique. This band was so underrated IMO. This song will always take me back to listening to this with my ex..He has since passed but this song will always take me back to a better time and amazing memories.
