defiantly still listening to this in 2020
this was the first song i'd heard of theirs probably 10yrs ago.. though I was more fixed on the video.. then halfway through i was like "music's good too". thus the TTNG journey began, thanks to the video
Fucking right I am
i don't even know(or care) what music is popular 2day. i listen 2 a tiny bit of music from almost every genre. never dedicate solely 2 1 style or artist. there's a world of great music out there if u search hard enough. if its created with passion,its worth atleast 1 listen.
Hell yeah
Same
Everyone who disliked thinks 4 is dancier than 26

This Band Needs Awards
Dude - they had no money and likely not budget. I'd say for a low budget promo this is pretty stellar - much better than just watching a band jam in a room lit really well. The idea is a beautiful one.
This is the first song I heard by TTNG
And i've been hooked ever since.
Best band ever.
CZcams brought
Me to their album "Animals" and I've been hooked since:)
The Mathrock Anthem!
;)
I love this song, but I feel like that title has to go to Never Meant
@@rainor771 I feel thats the midwest emo anthem, definitely mathy though.
@@talon6277 no cap, its this song or if i sit still
The Mathrock Anthem is Cut Self Not by Faraquet. Wouldn't call American Football mathrock.
"Like back when we were young, and nights like this would fade to one." So powerful.
the "nights like this would fade to one" is so incredibly true. such a strong feeling of anguish. i can't really explain it but it gets me
lovely bit of 26/8 at the end
Luca Vincent The time signature is the only reason I found this song
it's fate
Yeah, it's broken up into 4 bars of 5/8 and then one bar of 6/8.
[Verse 1]
I'm so sorry I'm not down tonight
But all my friends have lost their minds
And what's more…
I'm not happy here anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
We should've stayed at home tonight
All the bright lights and company
Are not what I need
[Chorus]
It's just the same as it was before
Same faces there to hit the floor
My legs have carried me far
There's still strength enough for one more
So let's carry on
And dance to all the same songs
Like back when we were young
And nights like this would fade to one
[Verse 2]
So let's get out of here
We've done all we can
This place is not dead
So when will this night end?
[Pre-Chorus]
We'll do it all again
Next Friday night
This Picture-postcard modernity
[Chorus]
It's just the same as it was before
Same faces there to hit the floor
My legs have carried me far
There's still strength enough for one more
So let's carry on
And dance to all the same songs
Like back when we were young
And nights like this would fade to one
[Outro]
15 years ago already........
Really wish this band gets more attention. They're incredibly talented!
Went from american football's "never meant" to this. Fuck yeah.
I feel like everyone who listens to math rock started off with "american football" now im not shit talking this band at all but they only have 1 e.p its 16 years old never made another album after that and has about 4 good songs on it. To me they are just average compared to the other get artists out there
"Algernon cadwallader:
"Grown ups"
Street smart cyclists"
"Snowing"
"Captain jazz"
"This town needs guns (TTNG)
You get the point. Open your heart and soul there is beautiful music at every corner in the under ground (:
Max Land
The first math-rock band i ever heard was Snowing and fucked my ears so band that now i can't stop listening to them or keep looking for more bands.
purplepalm treeman I'm not a drug.
Max Land lol "Captain Jazz"
+Max Land I see what you mean. Any band that can help open the door to all these other great bands is still doing it right in my book, though.
I haven't heard this song til after I had already listened to animals and 13 a bunch of times and now I suddenly have a new favorite from them
If you’re still listening in 2021, you’re a legend
26 is dancier than 4! makes sense now.
ahh usually im disappointed when i find out the meanings to song titles -- this one made me happy.
i used to just watch this for the song and go into other tabs and stuff but i actually just watched the vid for the first time and its amazing..
it took me like 3 hours to learn this song!!!! SO WORTH IT!!!
so many memories with this specific video. literally the very first springboard for so much of my music taste today. reminds of better times... or maybe they weren't actually better and it's just rose-tinted glasses lol. whatever the case, still incredibly important to me
Rosy retrospection!
Same same
I'm no time signature expert, but I'm hearing the song in 4 sections:
Section 1: 3 bars of 12, then 4 bars of 4
Section 2: 3 bars of 7, then 1 bar of 9, repeated 4 times
Section 3: All in 6
Repeat all 3 sections above
Section 4: 26 (or 4 bars of 5, one bar of 6, repeated)
Section 1 is all just 4 cause the last 4 is just a repeated measure
Section 2 can further be subdivided into 4 then 3 for the 7s, and 5 then 4 for the 9s
This is the most civil youtube argument I have ever seen. Thank you both for making me feel pretty good about humanity today.
I will be sure to check out both your pages.
This has to be one of the most original music videos I've seen in a long looooooooooong time. I just discovered this band and they're one of my new favorites for sure.
This is my first time finding this band I have awoken
Why do people on CZcams feel the need to define the comments section as a place for constructive criticism only? This is a video website, not a goddamn workshop.
Where my 2019 peeps at
How's it going?
this town needs guns is just plain awesome. and what a lovely video! i'd love to see them live some time.
Such a simple but nostalgic music video man. Something about this old style from back in the day just feels so warm and familiar to me even though I was too young to even remember anything from it. I miss it. Wish things still felt this way
This is beatiful!
If someone told me 4 is dancier than 26, I'd steal all the guns from their town.
Great video, I mean seriously, good idea and amusingly executed.
I've seen comments about this - the 26 is in reference to the closing riff (5, 5, 5, 5, 6 pattern).
amazing video - kept me very interested.
great band too!
and the time signature is also mind bending. Tim Collis is my hero how he does what he does is beyond me. These crazy tapping riffs with crazy time signatures, his technicality blows my mind
So lets carry on! And dance to all the same song's, like back when we we're young
This is so clever :)
this has to be one of the coolest music videos ive seen :D i love it!
2:05 best part
absolutely love this video!!! great song too
Absolutely solid track!
Thanks, make sure to subscribe if you're digging it
Whoever disliked this is a big meanie face
A really big meany face!
;)
Contrariwise37 They don't want guns
thanks! i cant remember exactly how long as it was a while ago but i think the actual animating without any editing took about 4/5 days to do.
I have no words to express how awesome this song is
This is very Kinsella -like, but ya gots to love this type of songwriting. It gets me everytime.
That's fair enough. The video doesn't fit perfectly with the song but it's still awesome. There won't be another video for the track. The album is coming out in September so there'll be a video for a brand new track nearer then
Plain and simple, amazing music
amazing video, amazing song, absolutely SICK guitar riffs.
I saw flyers four their show tonight. I'm glad I check them out cause now I have something to do tonight.
this song rocks and this video is really cool,,,so glad somebody introduced me to this band today!
beautiful . this guy can sing the hellz shit outa dat mic
THERES STILL STRENGTH ENOUGH FOR ONE MOREEEE
Amazing song and the video is so well made, really original
@Zerocyde You have to be kidding me. This song is melodic as hell without beating you over the head with the same three chords and beat. It's the epitome of great musicianship.....intricate yet digestible.
This is incredible!
great song.... amazing band... hope they come down south soon!
what a nice video for such a great song
♥ it
my two favorite things in one: this town needs guns and stop motion. mmmm yes.
This is so amazing
The song and video put together makes me smile :)
LOVELY
Revisiting this song once more, feelsgoodman.
Despite it being a total bitch to learn on guitar and drums, chris and tim are legendary
As a guitarist whi can play this I'd imagine the drums are even worse
Just recently discovered this band and all i have to say is... WOW!
This is pretty good. I constantly heard about them and have had them suggested, but I guess I just never stumbled upon them till now.
Cool.
15 years later, still the same vibe
IT got even dancier🖤
oh my good god these guys are mind blowing that guitar is crazy, i tried with the tabs its pretty insane
excellent video!!!!
Heard this song live! amazing!
I was 7yrs old when this came out
This video exudes pure late 2000s nostalgia. It was a simpler time.
Very Cool Video.
purely amazing song
brilliant
Me too, just randomly searched some bands and found them two days ago, already bought their CD on eBay.
Love the video. XD
Never heard of the band before, but it sounds good. :)
What an awesome stuff, about music and animation I mean.
This song it's soooo relax i love it
This band rocked Reading tonight :)
You guys don't know how long I searched for this song
Amazing track
hell yeah, this video is at a quarter million!!
Lovely video...
One of my favorite songs
Going to see you's in Newcastle Upon Tyne!
hey this is pretty good!
I Love This ! It's Adorable, Great Song Too =)
This is amazing, probably took you a while too, but well done!
the first vocalist made this band for me
Thanks I'll give it a listen.
Speechless...
That was sick
Wow, beautiful and artistically talented.
Double Threat xD
gotta love stop motion
This video made me smile. =)
I listen to this and feel happy when depressed
I will say that the band are good friends of mine and it wasn't a decision I made lightly. I am also working on a new project with a band of my own and will be looking forward to touring with my friends in the next couple of years.Have already been to the continent with them a couple of years ago which was great fun
what a creative video. this is what'll get you into art school, friends.
Math is the most amazing thing, dude.
Pithagoras is the man who designed the patterns for all the music you listen to.
It’s like clean TFOT lol so good
Weird coming here after listening to the acoustic version about a billion times.
Thats trawling mate.
Sorry to burst your bubble
lol I saw your comment on the MTB video! :D
Yes - the outro sums to 26/8 (5/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 6/8).
They're touring, so you should see them if you're in the UK over the next month. They've played the US a couple of times too.
there lead guitarist is sooo good his double tappin is crazy
