Sparta is literally 3/5 atdi Tony’s incredible! Easily one of my favorite drummers. Don’t forget, DRMs and bass too dude. Sparta is tight. So is Atdi. 😎 these guys are literally my hero’s
@@christopherburke2348 I found Atdi and I was in my aggressive teenage punk years, then Sparta was my favorite band, I could never stand mars Volta, it was just chaotic and sounded like people stoned and jamming.
As a punk rawk kid growing up around El Paso I can say that Jim Ward has always been a straight up guy. He fought the stuff that they tried to feed us. In a situation like that he has always spoken out loud.
I would love to go to el paso more in that times it was 90s and beggining of te 2000s right ?? im From Juarez so i blame myself because when this came to mee, its was too late, BUT I ALWAYS LOVE American alt rock from earlies 90s to 2000, but things COME BACK ;)
Wake up Can you hear me? You're so clever Did you find me? In the backroom In your closet In your suitcase There's no running I will find you Like the glacier Cuts the seabed Leaving canyons In your cheekbones Passing through you In the shadows Scenes undo you Cut your ribbon As it follows you Everything, everything How can you sleep at night As it falls apart Anything, anything How can you sleep at night Face it Can you hear it?

There are 2 mixes of this song. One is sharp and tightly produced, but there is another that is grittier and sloppier and rocks soooo hard. I'd love to compare the two. It really shows how Much a producer can change a song, or even the mix. The simple choices you make.
Will be seeing them perform this today. This video looks great...obviously shot on film as you can tell by the color and light (and date). If this had a 4k scan, it would look awesome. Seeing that this is from 2002 blows my mind.
I cannot fucking wrap my head around how this video doesn't have even half a million views after 8 years. What in the actual fuck is wrong with this world?
ATDI perfect combination of control and chaos. Sparta represent the controlled rhythm section and TMV the chaos layered atop, they both lack something without each other for me personally.
I never saw this video till now! These guys have a lot of memories for me in my heart and I get some songwriting inspiration from them. In fact, I respected them so much I never wanted to learn this song for fear it would dilute their greatness. I guess it's time to get over that :)
time fucking flies. i remember being a little ass kid seeing this on mtv or the internet. loved it. got into atdi and mv later and never knew the connections until a few years in. wild.
I've only heard so many of Sparta's songs but this one really reminded me of ATDI. anyone know of any other songs that bring them back to the ATDI days?
Really sorry to bust in, but is this the version of the song that's on the album? I remember trying to find it a long time ago and hearing some demo. I think this is the album version but it's been so long since I heard it I can't be sure. Also, I find this CZcams conversation to be very refreshing and respectful and I think it's the first time I saw a civilized debate on this site!
They are not soldiers. They wield no spear, no sword. Yet they face the evil hordes of the (sadly most people think) god king-bieber. Join Sparta! Face the invaders, defend the land of real music!
@Licardo7 i like tons of songs from 2001 lol its just that this one sounds sorta older than those. like the whole style. Its like how 'black veil brides' sounds old. Its just the style
Dude I love Quicksand so much. I got to see them in Atlanta this past summer. I've heard of Snapcase but don't think I've listened, I'll check them out!
I swear I saw Jim last year at Monarch Bar in El Paso TX with Beto O´rourke, they looked like having just a relaxing time that i didn´t bother to go and say Hi, even I wanted an autograph, then the TV news arrived and talked to the owner about the upcoming covid restrictions and how they´re planning to face the situation, like if he knew how to face that situation.. that was literally the last time I crossed to El Paso :( March 6 2020, my last beer and nachos at that beautiful Bar, fuck covid.
@xvirequiem agree. being from el paso (home town to atdi and a few members of those bands) i went through high school listening all 3 bands. but i tend to lean to sparta simply because jim ward is a much more in tune with his lyrics. plus the tmv are a bit stuck up, and buy into there own hype. but i still love all 3
Massively underrated band
Yes very
You can really tell he made a large part of ATDI's sound
Could you have weathered the sjws?
Sparta is literally 3/5 atdi
Tony’s incredible! Easily one of my favorite drummers. Don’t forget, DRMs and bass too dude. Sparta is tight. So is Atdi. 😎 these guys are literally my hero’s
@@563thecircaliveson Met Tony in Tampa 2006, still have his EP CD. I forget now where he's from, Lebanon?
He started that band
L
At The Drive In, Sparta and Mars Volta.... I love them all!
Hell yeah!
fuck yeah whos here with this man?
Hard agree. All three have their own vibe and they were all perfect for different parts of my life.
@@christopherburke2348 I found Atdi and I was in my aggressive teenage punk years, then Sparta was my favorite band, I could never stand mars Volta, it was just chaotic and sounded like people stoned and jamming.
@@nintendogamer5472 that’s exactly it though. It’s the beauty in the music theory chaos that makes me love Mars. But to each their own of course.
2022 and still jams the same. Takes me back!
I only more recently found it, but do attest. It indeed jams
Loved this record back in high school. Sparta,dredg, and glassjaw tour was quite a thrill.
I swear that tour was Snow-Core but I could be crazy. I remember that tour. Saw them all in NYC. Any Glassjaw show I could get to, I got to.
God that must've been ridiculous.
I have been trying to remember a song that I couldn't put my finger on for ten years, and you just helped me figure it out, "of the room" by dredg
Wow what a tour
I imagine that venue popped off hard
As a punk rawk kid growing up around El Paso I can say that Jim Ward has always been a straight up guy. He fought the stuff that they tried to feed us. In a situation like that he has always spoken out loud.

After 12 years of listening, I finally managed to watch the video. lol
Jacqui Penar you´re not the only one AMIGO
yeah, i didn't even know they had music videos! cheers
@Grizzly Poota I was going to make the same comment but a year after yours now 5 years after his comment on 17 years later :D lol
Same lol
This song sucks. I can't believe you liked it for 12 years.
Jim Ward owns several bars in El Paso where hes from and I love going to support his venues. Long Live Sparta
Enrique Ortiz wich ones?
this song is still so goated
This album has a huge part of my past with many memories left sitting still in my mind today
My Home towm heros of El Paso TEXAS, Love all their album there isn't A song I would ever skip when listening to A Sparta album 🤘👍
This is the first band I seen in concert. … back in 2000 with dashboard and weezer
Same!!! 2002 strokes, Weezer, Sparta, dashboard confessional. I went in Columbus Ohio...Maladroit was Weezer's latest album...
Jim Ward and his music makes me proud to be an El Pasoan.
Chale, Alberto! Lets go grab some Chicos and complain about the new cheese!
Simon que si esé,
@@wastelandstation6168 we still need to get Chicos ése.
@@albertortega7160 got social media bro?
I hope you guys grabbed lunch
This song still kicks so much ass.
what a great song.its full of energy.
my brother recommend Sparta to me when I was a little kid and now I'm searching all their music, this song is so soothing at the chorus ((: so good
Some were from a band called At the Drive In. Some came here, some went to “The Mars Volta”. Give those two a listen.
love spata, love the mars volta. absolutely love atd-i
Wake up
Can you hear me?
You're so clever
Did you find me?
In the backroom
In your closet
In your suitcase
There's no running
I will find you
Like the glacier
Cuts the seabed
Leaving canyons
In your cheekbones
Passing through you
In the shadows
Scenes undo you
Cut your ribbon
As it follows you
Everything, everything
How can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night
Face it
Can you hear it?
Violation
You'll remember
It's all harmless
Incidental
Disengaging
These thoughts break you
Conscious, vicious
It has found you
Monovision
Synapse fails you
Frequent syndrome
Stings and burns through
Monovision
Then dilutes you
Cut your ribbon
As it follows you
Everything, everything
How can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night
As it follows you
Everything, everything
How can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night
Can you escape these motives?
Can you escape these motives?
Can you escape these motives?
Cut your ribbon
As it follows you
Everything, everything
How can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
Anything, anything
How can you sleep at night
Thank you for posting lyrics. ❤️
Bows politely. At your service.
この曲好きだったのよねー！張り詰めた感じが好き
Wiretap scars and porcelain are play through no skipping, one of the few albums where I like every single track
I saw Sparta 5 times on their Wiretap Scars tour. Met Jim and Gabriel a couple times. Really nice guys.
This deserves SO many more views...
There are 2 mixes of this song. One is sharp and tightly produced, but there is another that is grittier and sloppier and rocks soooo hard. I'd love to compare the two. It really shows how Much a producer can change a song, or even the mix. The simple choices you make.
There*
idk why, but i laughed so hard
Dennis blame spellcheck. On the first one and me on the second Lol
I was just wondering like, “This sounds like a totally different track” thanks for clarifying. I’m used to the other version.
This album was ammazing.. I saw them once when this came out .. they sounded so good
One of the best bands, I've ever known.
I remember seeing Sparta open for Korn and disturbed at the Great western forum like 15 years ago lol 🤘🏼
Still listening in 2017 💜
AT THE DRIVE-IN IT´S GOING BACK 2016 :3
Always loved this song!
my favourite song of all time
damn, that sucks for you, man. I mean it sincerely, you are missing out on SOOOO much amazing music if this is your favorite song. :(
Tuan Jim He may have heard that amazing music and prefers this song. Not a problem.
2023 e saporra continua me passando a mesma energia. Que somzeira!
how cool is it that these guys are back together and making another record. there is a god
2019, still one ot my favorite songs. Wish i could see this live.
Will be seeing them perform this today. This video looks great...obviously shot on film as you can tell by the color and light (and date). If this had a 4k scan, it would look awesome. Seeing that this is from 2002 blows my mind.
i used to love this band, wiretap scars was a kickass record, saw them live once too.
Amazing credit union.
Looking forward to hearing this classic LP live in 7days along with Moneen!!
THANKS MTV 120M VIDEORAMA AND MTV ROCKS O VIDEOSOMNIA
this song reminds me of highschool freshman/sophmore year.
great to hear from sparta it's been a while since ive last heard them
I love this song
un exito que marco una generacion un tema notable grande sparta
Leandro Fernandoy tu si sabes brother... lmL
Still such a good song.
This song is still awsome bro!
I cannot fucking wrap my head around how this video doesn't have even half a million views after 8 years. What in the actual fuck is wrong with this world?
ATDI perfect combination of control and chaos. Sparta represent the controlled rhythm section and TMV the chaos layered atop, they both lack something without each other for me personally.
When At the Drive-In breaks up you get two amazing bands.
Jay sparta
Haven't heard this in years, love Jim Ward so much!
i like both sparta and the mars volta, but at the drive-in is my favorite.
:D
Why?
@@majesticfool The album "this station is non-operational" changed this music genre forever. Go listen
@@runfr0mthesun youre thinking of relationship of command chief lol
@@syukoshiomy This station is non-operational is a compilation album they made and it's the last thing they released before disbanding.
And you thought double beats and drop B riff were the only ways to be this cutthroat.
Sparta. They rule.
Isso q é som!
So underrated !!!
I never saw this video till now! These guys have a lot of memories for me in my heart and I get some songwriting inspiration from them. In fact, I respected them so much I never wanted to learn this song for fear it would dilute their greatness. I guess it's time to get over that :)
Reminds me of being in Austin, Texas years ago listening to 101 x cruising around in the early 2000s
time fucking flies. i remember being a little ass kid seeing this on mtv or the internet. loved it. got into atdi and mv later and never knew the connections until a few years in. wild.
I remember when this band opened for Pearl Jam in Pittsburgh. They played a pretty good set.
the past is awesome! (watching this takes you there)
this deserves so much more views
This song ROCKS, Mars volta couple good ones too...all different, each talented without a doubt......but can't touch ATDI..
buset
This sounds so fresh in 2021
I found this on Sumosonic 4 back in the day and fell in love.
Well, i'm an old ATDI-Fan, and discover Sparta 2 weeks ago. Shame on me...but i like it more and more. Feelings like coming home ♥
Still a banger.
Still… yup
love sparta,quicksand and revere the Mars Volta, who are the ultimate in powerfully intense perfection
takes me back to 8th grade, great song!
8th grade, Rockhampton australia, hard to listen without a tear.
Love
I used to listen to this in my iPod 1. I never saw the music video haha 😂
Agreed!
Harih bolll
I've only heard so many of Sparta's songs but this one really reminded me of ATDI. anyone know of any other songs that bring them back to the ATDI days?
I love concertina:)
I do like it n like I saId before beatifull eyesss!!!
@bjory311
since when has it been about that
See Sparta LIVE with Cartright 5/27/12 @ The Mohawk Austin, TX
@xvirequiem wats adti?
In/Casino/Out...
@bjory311 who are you typing to?
YESSIR
Me too!

YEAH!!! These guys are representing El Chuco!!!
@darkestification
why thank you
Imagine the Bronx and and ATDI or Sparta touring together.
SPARTA
That song makes me wanna rage
ill take sparta over the mars volta anyday jim is brilliant
+melissa bullard never
Nothing beats at the drive in
Dalton Cardwell
the highest of highs for me come from the volta especially their live stuff
melissa bullard But ATDI over Sparta and TMV
I love mars volta at the drive in and sparta. Each mood has a song .
@Licardo7 i like tons of songs from 2001 lol its just that this one sounds sorta older than those. like the whole style. Its like how 'black veil brides' sounds old. Its just the style
How can you sleep at night as it falls apart?
Is he saying "Can you escape these motives" when he's whispering like near the end
Yes
My new take: this is the heart of ATDI, of course I never dug either band as much as ATDI but these days I might rather listen to this than Mars Volta
Sparta reminds me so much of Rival Schools and Quicksand
Ellis Eaton Quicksand's an amazing band, ever listened to Snapcase?
Dude I love Quicksand so much. I got to see them in Atlanta this past summer. I've heard of Snapcase but don't think I've listened, I'll check them out!
*Fugazi
Progression is such a good album.
come to Brazil

How well do you play guitar? Sparta
How did I not know about these guys before?????
this song sounds really old!! like its from a whole other century like idk 1991 (aka before i was born)
