"Hemingway never seemed to mind the banality of a normal life, so he aimed a shotgun into the blue, placed his face between the two and sighed: Here's to life!" Quite honestly one of the best quotes from their music.
Dallas Smith Did you just compare Streetlight Manifesto's horn section to that of RBF and The Caddies? Eons apart, not hating. But Streetlights Musicians are much more talented.
No one gives enough credit to how well Jim Conti plays sax, those runs are incredible and he plays them so effortlessly. Also, I dont know how they can get along without mike soprano, he also an amazing musician. 2:30.
The lyrics to this song are just beautiful... "And KDC you were much too young but I draw the line at suicide, here's to life!" Such a good wrap up. Thank you streetlight
god, finally someone gets this right xD It gets really irritating when people give false information thinking its right and I have to correct them, and it happens quite often
Sitting in the library...chem book untouched. Listening to Here's to Life by Streetlight, thinking about his references to Hemingway and Salinger and what it all means...I think it's time for me to switch my major...
Better Place Better Time, As the Footsteps Die Out Forever is about death via terminal illness. I love Streetlight man, all their songs are great no matter what the lyrics say.
This is as close as you can get to the live Streetlight experience without actually seeing them live. I've been to at least 7 or 8 of their shows, every time was totally worth it.
Never even heard of this before, a friend sent me the link to this yesterday and I'm absolutely amazed. The general style is great, the way they pull it off is even better.
All I have to say is, I hope there's more because cuz you guys won me with that AWESOME MUSIC BESTOWED BY THE HEAVENS TO CHARGE THE CREATIVITY AND HOPE FOR THIS WORLD!!!
funnest show i've ever been to: Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto at The Fillmore. SOOOOO BADASS! met Mike Brown (bari sax) at Warped Tour. fuckin chillest dude ever
![Streetlight Manifesto - Here's to Life live (encore) [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/wFFWr4sEDbk/mqdefault.jpg)
Here's to life, Matt. It won't be the same without you.
As a sax player, I have no idea how the Bari player shuffles his feet like that, and still manages to be so frigging amazing
These seven men have saved my life and are what keep me going.
same boat, different captain
Yeah this is the best fucking band ever
100
Same
Oh absolutely!
"Hemingway never seemed to mind the banality of a normal life, so he aimed a shotgun into the blue, placed his face between the two and sighed: Here's to life!"
Quite honestly one of the best quotes from their music.
BEST. HORN SECTION. EVER.
ehhh...maybe?! there is a few of them...bosstones,RBF,mad caddies :)
Dallas Smith Did you just compare Streetlight Manifesto's horn section to that of RBF and The Caddies?
Eons apart, not hating. But Streetlights Musicians are much more talented.
***** I agree dude.while they are all good I truly think streetlight is the best
+Dallas Smith Tower of Power and Chicago will always be the top horn sections, that being said the Shady Horns of Lettuce rage hard as well :)
The original trumpeter from the caddies could give most trumpeters a run for their money, check out the song "road rash".
No one gives enough credit to how well Jim Conti plays sax, those runs are incredible and he plays them so effortlessly. Also, I dont know how they can get along without mike soprano, he also an amazing musician. 2:30.
Their drummer still blows my mind, even after so many years of being a fan.
The lyrics to this song are just beautiful... "And KDC you were much too young but I draw the line at suicide, here's to life!" Such a good wrap up. Thank you streetlight
At the end of the song someone yells "Awesome!"...
Biggest understatement in all of Ska.
streetlight manifesto = the best band ever
Valid.
Perfection doesn't exist they say...
(Big love Matt. Rest In Power)
god damn that was a killer breakdown. heard the song many times, but seeing/hearing it live was very nice and gave me a little bit of the chills.
Smoked four joints with the trumpet player n my friends before the show when they came to ottawa. Chiiiill dude, unforgettable moment.
I can’t believe this video only has 400K views with half of those views being me
That bass player is a freakin beast!!! A running line through most of the song.,...just sick!!!
Streetlight's lyrics are always so thought provoking and, well, just simply awesome.
Check out more of their music, it's got real soul. They really pour out everything they have at their shows and on their records.
Here's to Life Dominic, Aliena, Max, and Aron.
I Fuckin Miss you all Bunches.
SO HERE'S TO LIFE
RIP MATT youll always be blaring in my speakers man
2:30
Am I the only person who gets chills at that high note?
3:29 I must have listened to this song hundreds of time, and I still get shivers at that part.
the bari part for this is one of the most fun things to play...ever.
This is the definition of quality music. I love how they change it up a little bit each time
seeing these guys live for the 3rd time for my 16th bday....FUCK YEAH!
That bari sax player just fuckin' jams the whole time xD
for all these years I thought he was saying hey there soldier, I didnt realize it was hey there salinger. This song just got so much more awsome
My 3 month old daughter loves this song as do I.
Better Place Better time is Not about terminal illness. it is about a Friend he is afraid is suicidal
The bass line is a hidden beast. God its so sexy
RIP Salinger
Always loved this song and this performance, but now for me it's gonna be dedicated to the late, great Salinger.
My name's Holden too...
HERE’S TO LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!!!
Right now I will be listening to this until their new album comes out.
god, finally someone gets this right xD
It gets really irritating when people give false information thinking its right and I have to correct them, and it happens quite often
that bari player makes me smile c:
Amazing! Greetings from everywhere.
THis is one of my favorite songs of theirs, musicaly as well as lyricaly.
Awesome proformance!
I'm goin to see them at Pearl Street today. I'm so pumped.
@MrChooWei
Every bass line (more or less) is phenomenal. Dude plays bass like he was born with it in his hands.
Unbelievably good
Live in Memphis tomorrow? Yes. Can't wait.
Sitting in the library...chem book untouched. Listening to Here's to Life by Streetlight, thinking about his references to Hemingway and Salinger and what it all means...I think it's time for me to switch my major...
You can tell these guys actually enjoy the hell outta performing, makes their music that much better
WOW the horn combo for out the outro is just too epic
Someone just posted 'Sam and the Womp' on my news feed. I was sick. I went to favourites, I clicked on this. Faith in humanity restored.
I like the dude playing the bari sax. I mean, daaaaaaang, look at those moves!
2:12 is just incredible, then again the whole song is...
Better Place Better Time, As the Footsteps Die Out Forever is about death via terminal illness. I love Streetlight man, all their songs are great no matter what the lyrics say.
Toh Kay is the best and this is the best band that has ever formed
