Periphery is win. They can do anything, and Spencer is brilliant. I am a singer and he's one of my favorite singers.
"blah give us an instrumental set of albums."
Yeah guys, they're totally gonna trash all their work on an incredibly detailed story just to appease a few meatheads.
Remember when Misha popped into the comments and said "we don't write stuff to appeal to people, we write it for self expression"? Yeah. I do.
This double album is really good, there's something for everyone. If you don't like this, you'll probably like Omega better. Give them a chance! They put their hearts into this, and it shows. You'll miss out if you judge it without hearing it all.
Only thing I have a problem with that you're saying is that "meatheads" want the instrumental version. Not wanting to listen to Kelly Clarkson pop vocals when you're trying to listen to Metal doesn't make you a meathead. I'm an average chill dude. I don't like pure pop like Beyonce and the like. But even an instrumental wouldn't fix it, Spencer's vocals have infected the music too, which has also turned into pop. Too bad.
shanerion Too bad for you, indeed. No one's making you listen to it.
Psylo Productions Periphery grew and expanded. Anybody that has a problem with that is a fool, anybody that can't tell that they developed their sound through their albums is a fool. Thanks for being wise man.
OFFICIAL LYRICS:
Experience these things
My chest sinks further in and it gets hard to breathe
Don’t fight it, make this easy
Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It’s a long road
As the water beads up on the window,
turn the sad song up on the radio
(What's left with me is a memory)
(When the flesh moves on)
Such curiosity
These thoughts go on all day
It takes hold on me, but fighting isn’t easy
Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It’s a long road
As the water beads up on the window,
turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on
and the clouds block out the rays
When the feeling hangs upon a halo,
I can only try my best just to let it go
What's left with me is a memory
and the things I have to say
Resting now, their bodies hit the ground
Nightmares creep over me
I hear the sounds
(Yes they all hit the ground)
Children scream, their mothers bleed hung upside down
Scarlet ropes and sadistic minds surround me
I've spent all of my life confined in secrecy
What you see is but a shell of what I am on the inside
Clouds of blackness strike lightning
There’s nothing above
I’m falling below
(There’s nothing above)
As the water beads up on the window,
turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on
and the clouds block out the rays
When the feeling hangs upon a halo,
I can only try my best just to let it go
What's left with me is a memory
and the things I have to say
That solo is so tasteful.
screaming vocals always sounds great when contrasted to some poppy clean hooks
I feel like this song is really underrated compared to the rest of the album. This is my favorite sing-along song at the moment. That chorus is just so catchy. Sure, it's not really that heavy, but it's beautiful for what they were going for. Not every song they make is gonna be like MK Ultra or Hell Below.
not gonna lie, i always skipped this song after i heard the part "as the water beads up on the window..." because it sounded kinda off to me and way too poppy
not that there's anything wrong with pop sounding stuff but i just dont like it
and then i decided to give the song a chance and i was blown away by this song. criminally underrated song off of juggernaut.
@@severedbrand4249 my favorite is “children SCREAM! THEIR MOTHERS BLEED HUNG *UPSIDE DOOOOOWN* “ I feel a lot of emotion behind that
its so fucking good i was listening to scarlet on repeat for the catchiest periphery song and then i stumbled upon this. its just so fucking good.
The chorus IS the definition of catchy. When I read your comment it reminded me of the first time I heard this song and thought "wow this song was made to be sang along even the first time we hear it"
Periphery’s chill songs >>>>> literally anything else
God.. I’ve loved this band since about 13. I’m 21 now, periphery.. has basically never disappointed me. From icarus lives, until heavy heart. They’re such an amazing group. They manage to balance this celestial war between dark and light in their songs and it gives me goosebumps every time.
36 here and this band has got me through some real shitty times. I pretty much owe them my fucking life.
How brilliant are these blokes. Deadset amazing band. Can't wait for them to come back to Australia
Mark mentioned it's one of the places he'd like to tour this year
whipsy Man, it could be worse, it's been 5 years since they came to Spain. Thank God they are coming back this summer...
hell yeah man, these guys are amazing. I remember seeing them last year in Aus too, can't wait to have 'em back!
Tbh I like spencer's voice. He is one of my favorite singers. But I come from a mostly punk background, and it's kinda nostalgic for me. Reminds me of early thrice and stuff...
@@andromedaiscoming185 They're kind of experimental emo or hardcore. Which is derived from Punk
Spencer has his own project which is actually nu metal influenced called Endur. Reminds me heavily of Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory.
Dude's obviously got incredible vocal talent, but for some reason It's hard for "certain people" to see that because he's got a higher voice. Imagine that, right?
It's funny because when Chester passed I had a void that nothing else seemed to fill. I came across "Garden In The Bones" from a friend and now these guys are like weed to me. Spencer's voice reminds me of Chester, and the instrumentals are just incredible, and the fact that Misha helped compose a song for the remaster of my 2nd favorite game of all time is the cherry on top.
I see all these debates over new/old Periphery, and I just don't get it. From P1 to P4; there isn't a song I don't like. Maybe some I'll put on repeat a bit more, but aside from that...
I'm glad they don't give a fuck and just make music.
I really like this song, it reminds me of Periphery ii. I personally like when Spencer uses his voice to hit those high notes.
This album is the apex of music. I don't think it gets better than this...
Facts. This album will always be my favorite of all time, the contrast of vocals, the guitars, the drums, the reprises and story.
@@Dracula_sb they keep killin it but this really felt like them trying to tell the world "we are, in fact. The best"
Lol at not liking these vocals.
That would imply that they're not absolutely perfect. This is one of the best singers around right now.
+NightmareSnake haha there are plenty of people who "like to play music with their friends" who are incredible. This guy however is not one of them.
Michael Gonzalez I'm sorry your life is so sad that you have to pretend that a singer isn't better than you to make yourself not feel inadequate. :C
Their guitar composition is so simple but complex at the same time. Got one playing power chord, another playing partial chords and the third arpeggiating the full chord. I really dig Mark's note slide technique to play an arpeggiated chord. Misha said in an interview that all their really heavy songs are inspired by Messugah riffs.
Well this was beautiful. Periphery has really 1up'd themselves.
Spencer's vocal performance on these albums is incredible. Well done, my man!
This is the ONLY band that makes music which I can never get tired of, thanks guys
definatly my favorite song from the new albums
The best song of all time, Nobody is going to create another masterpiece like this ever period.
loooove this song, I keep coming back for it
One of their most artistic songs. I love the last transition into uncleans. Perfect.
Every member of this band is incredible.
Had my dog put down in may and this reminds me of him. Makes me sad and happy at the same time. What a great piece!
Lyrics: (Pretty close to 100% right I think)
Experience these things
My chest sinks further in and it gets hard to breathe
Don’t fight it
Make this easy
Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It’s a long road
It’s a long road
As the water beads upon the window
Turn the sad song up on the radio
The fault with me is a memory
When the flesh moves on
Such curiosity
These thoughts go on all day
And it takes hold of me
But fighting isn’t easy
Sometimes I wish I had wings
Fly far away from this life
It’s a long road
It’s a long road
As the water beads upon the window
Turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on
And the clouds block out the rays
When the feeling hangs upon a halo
I can only try my best just to let it go
The fault with me is a memory
And the things I have to say
Resting now, their bodies hit the ground
Nightmares creep over me I hear the sounds
(Yes they all hit the ground)
Children scream, their mothers bleed hung upside down
Scarlet ropes and sadistic minds surround me
I spent all of my life confined in secrecy
What you're seeing
Is but a shell of what I am on the inside
Clouds of blackness abounding
There’s nothing about
I’m falling, I’m falling below
(There’s nothing about)
As the water beads upon the window
Turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on
And the clouds block out the rays
When the feeling hangs upon a halo
I can only try my best just to let it go
The fault with me is a memory
And the things I have to say
Brendon stacey Dude that'd take forever haha. I'm just doing the songs I like the most.
Amazing execution of 9/8 time to sound so smooth.
Anyone else think that at 2:41 it sounds Atreyu - The Theft!? Not a bad thing.
Yeah wow definitely. Great melody line tho. Nice to hear it in another context.
That's such a great song. I didn't catch it the first time, I'm surprised as I listened the crap out of The Theft. Now I can't unhear it lol
Can't unhear that... now to listen to Atreyu! After I'm done with this masterpiece of an album that is...
YES! I even sang the lyrics when that part came on and it damn near fit!! hahahhahahaha
this song is amazing. the vocals are amazing.
Such a beautiful song. And amazing guitar songwriting
This will most definitely become my favourite 2 parter album from Periphery. Really professional, outstanding song-writing, astounding vocals.
This... This is beautiful, most definitely a masterpiece. One of the best songs I've ever heard, and as it stands, my most favorite periphery song. This is a great example of a band maturing/evolving, don't take me wrong, I love the old stuff as much as the next guy or girl, but this is just breathtaking and astounding. Well done periphery. (:
the amount of musical and lyrical motifs in this album is nuts.
Nice, vocals sounding really good, songwriting game strong af.
That very last strum is so awesome!!
I love that melodic line throughout most of the song, and that solo! Dat solo!
Clearly Spencer is a huge fan of Devin Townsend ;) His vocals in this song are a huge shout out to his vocal style. It reminds me of Devin when he did 'Sex and Religion' with Steve Vai.
This is far better than I thought it could have been! Really loving the vocal melodies, grooves, and the overall feel of this album. Very versatile and dynamic! Can't wait until it's released!
Easily my favorite song on this album next to Alpha & 22 Faces. Glad I stumbled upon these guys. Stoked for the July Release of Periphery 3.
Love the music LOVE the vocals always have. On this album Spencer kills it so hard
This is a great song!!!
I think Spencer's voice is the biggest improvement, along with the dark them to this album. It's gotten so much better, and I love it personally. Go Spencer!
This duo-album, the most recent Architects album, and the Beartooth album are all on an epic playlist for me. Periphery was the best band to start out 2015 for me.
This song has a huge Coheed and Cambria Vibe , which iS Not a Bad thing.
Their best song!
Carvin HH2 Holdsworth Signature Test Clip :)
they implemented it so well! I wish that final note from the demo would have made more of an appearance.
I'm not going to lie some of this is corny, but it's catchy. "AND THE THINGS I HAVE TO SAAAAAYYY" Love that part
I love this track so much... what a banger.
I think Periphery broke music, they wrote a pop influenced song that sounds good.
that's one reason I like their "lighter" songs a ton; they make pop structure sound AMAZING.
If they aren't confusing you with their polyrhythmic djent riffs, they're making pop sound good and tolerable with their sound.
Hope they play this live for the 1st time during the wildfire tour
Perfection
I am in love !
By far the best concept album I have heard in years.
This is my favorite song from both of the new albums. Question though; am I right to assume this is about a murderer trying to block out the memories of killing? The song starts off nice, talking about sad songs and then takes a drastic turn talking about hanging mothers upside down. I love when bands actually tell stories like this instead of making generic love songs.
Oh, man this one is good. Everything about this one is good.
I love this
Amazing...
2:13 Literally starts the most catchy part of any song I've ever listened to.
THE RIFF FROM THE CARVIN HH2 DEMO!! So happy you used that...so gooooooood
This song is so good. I love this album, Periphery and Veil of Maya are both so great!!!
I love all of periphery but this is so fucking pop punky and I love it. I've listened to this an insane amount of times since monday
Oddly enough I think this is one of my favorites so far.
Great Song!
Been dying to hear this song and holy cow!
Probably my favorite chorus on the album
best periphery album yet in my opinion.
Thank you for existing.
Yesyes
This album is so good
Looks like predator had some fun in the back round picture of this tune!
love this one, it's so different, but it's still great music
Saw these guys open up for In Flames (my favorite band) a two nights in a row a few weeks ago. I gave them a listen before the show and immediately dismissed them. I was hooked instantly when these guys started playing. The first time in a while that I've found a new band I really liked.
Mind blown
Matt fucking Halpern everybody. God damn groovy.
Matt Halpern makes all beginner djent drummers want to kill themselves (me included 😂)
Not too bad, never heard of these guys till today and was quite surprised... 2 thumbs up for me.
Spencers vocals are a part of what made me get into Periphery haha
Los armónicos están bien perros , que buena rola
Periphery❤
Never heard this song before from them, I'm glad i did
this song is so good holy shit
Such an underrated song and band
This song is beautiful... Holy shit
As the water beads upon the window
Turn the sad song up on the radio
Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on
And the clouds block out the rays
this song is timeless
every album they release out takes me just a little longer to understand and get into. each time I eventually come around. great album.
Wild time signatures..
Ok, first off i love the song a lot, its not a bad thing but the vibe is definitely depressed teenager, BUT, everyone's talking about that creepy ass part with the scarlet ropes and children scream, mothers hung upside down, its far out but i think Black Minute is about a super creepy sex ritual where 2 people do it with the cult memebers circled around them, and when you add it to this song, it sounds like they kill the mothers and hang them up right when they give birth if the baby is a male, they grow up to be a cult member, And the main character is sad and depressed that thats what he was born into. Could be totally wrong but thats what i think till the band comes out with the story
Periphery and P2 were amazing albums. The Clear EP is awesome as well, but this is a different kind of periphery. I quite like it. I like that all of their stuff doesn't sound the same. I've listened to Spencers solo work and a lot of Bulb's songs he puts up. I really like the bands style as a whole but separately they're all just as good. A really talented group of people.
I have no idea why but this is hands down my favorite song off of Alpha! I like it as much as I liked Scarlet off of P2. I am so excited to hear Omega!
This might be the song that actually gets me listening to Periphery
best song on juggernaut
This song is just so damn beautiful. Good on you Periphery. Good on you ;)
Try to remember the solo after the 1st chorus! The series of notes repeats throughout the albums!
Bwahahahaha @ 1:28. sounds like "Butt-fighting isn't easy". Anyone else picture people fighting with their butts??
Holy smoking jesus, this is out of my mind.
It seems that only the metal elitists that are the periphery "fans" can hear this band play multiple styles of music and not be pleased with anything.
3:17 Carvin HH2!
That intro riff is just so...ugh
Man they really have listen to a lot of Cohered and I like that. There are some awesome melodies on this album Oddly enough I'm picking up a Devin Townsend vibe
This song... was the first song that came on when I shuffled my music when my father died.
I had to be the rock, my only sibling, my younger brother (14 at the time), didn't know how to process. I still remember the very second when we got the news.
I was just numb.
I didnt cry or mourn till a day or two after, when I laid down in bed and put some music on. This song brought it out of me.
I still cry when I hear it.
Rest in peace dad. I love you.
8/17/1960 - 7/03/2015
I miss you terribly. I'm trying so hard dad to be there for my brother.
Im trying.
Time goes by so fast.
Stay strong man
I share this story with ya man. 6 months and it still ain't easier. Hang in there
