My friend just overdosed after a decade long fight against heroin. The last band he recommended to me was Toh Kay. He was such a kind soul and that was represented in the music he loved. I hope he finds the peace he had yearned for. Man, I wish you didn't relapse.
Stay strong friend. I've been there myself
Lost my brother to the same thing back in November after a decade of struggle. We use to drive around listening to streetlight, he always would freestyle rap during the break in they broke him down. When I put it on I can still remember his adlibs and its like he's still with me.
i had no idea that Tomas did an acoustic version of The Hands That Thieve album.... excuse me while i binge on this all day.
actually all his songs start as acoustic and he converts them to Ska-Punk (yes, i know im responding to a 6 year old comment)
@@casbah2075 never too late for someone that comes even later
It’s actually what started the dispute between them and victory records. Which resulted in them breaking their contract n got them sued for $5mil
After two and a half years being with my girlfriend, she left me. I got home from work and her stuff was gone, looked like I got robbed. She took the orphan kitten we raised together. That day I listened to this song for hours with beers in my hands, and oddly enough it comforted me but made me feel so sad...
Don't drink away your issues too, but sad song do help a lot , it makes sad people happier!
Just think about it this way, it was her choice and if you loved her enough you'd let her do her thing, saddly enough.
But think good and keep on!
hope you're doing better buddy
My wife of 11 years left me in the same way. gutted our home, took our 4 children and move 300 miles away. That was 18 months ago, and the spite that she holds and is attempting to brow beat me with knows no bounds.
Streetlight's Hands that Thieve was the only thing that pulled me through those initial 6 months. Solidarity, brother. You have people you don't even know that will lift your arms up.
That's hard... I'm glad you could overcome it
My best friend of nearly 8 years split with me and blamed me for his problems despite everything we've been through together, all the good times we had, all the times I've helped him through his struggles, his depression and suicide attempts. After all of that, he blamed me for it all and hates me for it. He just... threw what we had away like it was nothing.
I miss him.
Dear god, I always love the more emotional or emotionally difficult songs written by Streetlight manifesto, but damn does Toh Kay really nail all they are trying to convey with this song.
You know Toh Kay is their lead singer right?
Yup and I wonder if he writes the songs like this first and redoes them into ska.
I heard somewhere that he normally writes his songs and plays them on the acoustic first before he does them with the band
Carlos Ibarra I would believe it. Think how hard it would be to get all of the band, especially a ska band, together to write the music.
MacDaddyPuma and writes all the songs, he also wrote Kaseby Nights when he was in Catch22!
Holy frickin crap... This is a deep song. I fucking love this man's lyrics.
I was born in Jax fl, saw them first their on their first tour(streetlight), my mom is from Paris France where I still have family. Streetlight is my favorite live band and it pains me they were robbed on their first tour in both cities, which lead to the "please stop robbing us" tour...which I also saw. Love the way Toh Kay released an acoustic version of the last contract album with streetlights label available for free as a fuck you to the label. Great lyrics, amazing musicians, great attitudes, and intelligent retaliation=rolemodels for life
This is literally my favorite song
Good song to listen to when your depressed
i can recommend some more
Rip bob go on
Christopher Gabriel sick and sad again, point/counterpoint, with any sort of certainty, a better place a better time. Just explore some of their stuff, a lot of it can help.
Did I mention he was dreaming
When the Devil came to town
I was awoken by the screaming
But nobody heard a sound
And the lies we tell at breakfast
Won’t match the lies we share for lunch
And the lies we serve for dinner, they’re the tallest of the bunch, yeah
Did I mention he was cold
When he finally lost control, of the ghost
And the epilogue I dreaded
Now seems likely to console
And I’m still not understanding
The things he did before he left
But the one thing that will haunt me
Is right before his final breath, when he said...
“Oh they broke me down
Yeah they broke me down
So I can’t be your saint you see
‘Cause I won’t be hangin ‘round”
And they broke him down
Yeah they broke him down
So I stood there and I held my breath
‘Cause I knew that it wouldn’t be long till they broke me down
And no one holds a grudge dear like I do
I see it through
And you may not remember
It was nothing much at the time, but I kept it bottled inside
Oh, and we all know how that goes
I’ve given up on letting go
So here we are
With nothing left dear
And now you’ve left here
And I was last to know
Holy smokes
Some say he’d given up the ghost but he wouldn’t do that
I think he’s hiding in the background
Of his favorite photographs
And he’s living as a beggar
Or maybe a millionaire
But the one thing that I’m sure of
Is he felt some comfort there
That’s fair, because they broke him down
Oh they broke him down
So he can’t be my saint no more
He won’t be hanging around
Oh no....
And they broke him down, yeah they broke him down
He said, “I can’t be your saint no more, ‘cause I won’t be hanging around”
And they broke him down
Yeah they broke him down
So I stood there and I held my breath
‘Cause I knew that it wouldn’t be long before they broke me down
This song sounds like what losing a loved one feels like, which I'm assuming was the point, it's perfect
listening to this on new year 2019... :)
Hope you're having a good year so far,man
sooooo pretty......and then the tears kept flowing
Stevie, if you see this, I'm coming looking for you man. I don't know if I'll find you, but I'm gonna look, because no one else understood.
The best Toh Kay cover off "The Hands That Thieve", in my opinion.
Dustin Muncy Along with With Any Sort of Certainty

love it at 1.25 speed
they broke him down
This song is so pretty..

calamity jane omg

This song makes me think of my father. I don't care what anyone says. I picked the right parent to live with. I hold all my memories of him, the good and the horribly bad, deep in my heart. Miss you so, so much, dad. If I knew I was going to miss you even a fraction as badly as I do now, I'd have spent more time with you. I hope you found peace in death, and I forgive you. Goodbye.
Knowing Nirvana's influence on Tomas, I like to think this song is written for Kurt
Ow my heart. I love this. I hate this.
everyone has these deep songs and my smol ass is just like ily
So beautiful... 1984
I think this song might be about Sergio from "hey Sergio"
Switching to 1.25x speed at 1:57 hits different
New streetlight 🔥🔥🔥
😢😮
2:20

Lost a great band cause everyone kept stealing their equipment damn
The tune reminds me of "creep" by Radiohead.
