I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR 3 SOLID HOURS AND I FINALLY FOUND IT.... all i could remember was billy and the fact the song starts with them riding in a car
@@Cloudey I think it's a Green Day reference seeing as the two bands started out/were really big at around the same time period :) Might be wrong though.
Billy Talent II, III and Dead Silence are three of my favourite albums of all time. They don‘t have a single bad song in their discography I also appreciate the new album, not as *amazing* as the other stuff but that‘s also not what I set my expectation to
I know exactly where they came up with the inspiration for this song. Downtown East Vancouver, there's a park where all the homeless and addicts gather and there's imprints of leaves in the cement. It's so haunting and symbolic
I am in depression.. with no money. I am having emergency repairs i have to do at my home.. so i have to do all the work by myself. I opened the radio.. and i litterally said out loud "ok i need a song.. just one song, that will give me a boost".. i was in middle of an add.. and a few seconds after that, this song played. I rushed to my phone, used shazam, downloaded song.. and i am on the 4th hour listening this song in a loop. Life kicked me while i was down.. and these guys are helping me getting back up. Life kicked me while i was down
When the big things in life blow chunks find the little things like Talent. My eardrums have suffered because Billy Talent has lifted me when I’m down. Good news they have a lot of albums.🤠
Man this song , it did the impossible. It brought me back to the times when I actually enjoyed music. Caught myself bobbing my head to that tune and drumming my index fingers on my steering wheel) like that 16year old pot head child wearing cargo pants and listening to Good Charlotte, The Offspring, Sum 41 and Blink 182 was suddenly awakened... Good times, good memories)
*Lyrics In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground I hitched a ride, until the coast To leave behind, all of my ghosts Searching for something, I couldn't find at home Can't get no job, can you spare a dime? Just one more hit, and I'll be fine I swear to God, this'll be my one last time! In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground When it gets dark, in Pigeon Park Voice in my head, will soon be fed By the vultures, that circle round the dead! In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves... on the ground Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground I never once thought, I'd ever be caught! Staring at sidewalks, hiding my track marks! I left my best friends, or did they just leave me? In a crooked little town, they were lost and never found Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground Run away before you drown, or the streets will beat you down Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground Run away before you drown! Fallen leaves, fallen leaves, fallen leaves on the ground
hey AbsurD sucuKePs, thankyou! not heard this for toooo long; my son recommended it to me n I couldn`t make-out some (just some!) of the lyrics--lol now got my own! laptop; yaaay! but thanks for 2 weeks ago`s help! xxx
@@alfiecollard1459 Hey Alfie, Can, do you think! make an exception for me??? My son said for me to have a listen to this, so I`m sorta-playing, "Catch up" with all their stuff! lol xxx
A decade ago, a younger me sat in front of her PC, recording this song from the loudspeakers with her MP3 player, to listen to it again and again with an abhorrent quality... what a memory :)
Loved this song when I was 12 years old and I’m now 30 and it has a whole different meaning now listening to it as someone who has struggled with addiction this song is truly a masterpiece
Was on the concert yesterday (15.12.22 Berlin) and it was a blast. My first concert ever was billy talent back in 2012. Yesterday benjamin joked around and said, that they will perform a brand new song, "maybe it will work, maybe it doesnt". Everyone was confused and curious. Then they start playing fallen leaves and the crowd completly freaked out. I still love this song and i cant skip it, if it plays when i hit random in my playlist. Billy talent always will be one of my favorit bands for the rest of my life.
Once a man came up to me while I was sitting at a bus stop and explained this song to me after asking me what I was listening to on my iPod. It was a true human experience and I love this band for giving me that
It's been 12 years... so much has changed, my friends are gone, my family bonds are shattered, I'm now a husband, a father, a marine.... where did the time go, I couldn't wait to grow up and now I want to go back...
For me it will always be one of my favorite songs, which has shaped my life. I hear since I was little, just say that. Thanks to all the band, you are great!
Damn this song really captured my struggles back when I just finished high school in late 2000s. Struggled with college, broke, having to take shitty, dead-end part time job, no friends (went 3 state over so I was practically alone). Dropped from college, didn't tell my parents, then reapply for something I actually like. Thankfully the board told me I can reapply except that I have to go straight back to freshman.
This band, Alter Bridge, and Sevendust should have been the STANDARD for modern hard rock! Absolutely a tragedy the talent the mainstream audience tends to let go.
Well they were in the Mainstream with some songs (such as this one for example) and they were actually quite famous in my country in 2006~2009 (in Germany) but yeah, relatively and globally speaking they are indeed quite underrated considering they are easilly one of the best modern Rock band of the 2000's, they don't get nearly as much attention for being one of the best modern Rock band of the 2000's
I have this band to attribute to litterally my whole music taste. This was my favourite song from about three years old to somewhere in middle school. In other words, me to bro.
I remember how my parents called after me in my bedroom in 2007 because MTV showed this track, which was my favorite track at that time! Without music a lot of my memories would be just blank spaces and this track conveys beautiful pictures from that time.
I remember listening to this album many times over and never really paying any attention to their lyrics. Now that I'm older I can appreciate this song so much more now that I understand them better. I wish many of us could have understood them while in the band's prime. For those who are probably listening to them for the first time or just maybe the lyrics are a bit too challenging to make out, they are talking about a person who had his fair share of problems and decided to leave them behind but instead got lost to drugs. To the point where even his own friends left him behind, like fallen leaves on the ground.
Thanks to Google's whistling tune search feature, I listened to this song about 16-17 years ago, when I was only 12~14 years old. I don't speak English, so every time I try to find this song, I just play songs from the same period on RU-vid and hope to be recommended to this song. Almost 20 years and finally hearing it again
I wish I can meet some people of my age who listens to the type of music, I’m still a kid, so glad my parents played songs like this on the radio, now this is the only music I want to hear
I literally just heard this song for the first time maybe a couple months ago at 42 yrs old and it's absolutely unforgettable. Massively relevant even today. Maybe even more so. 10/10
This was my favourite music, but i wasn't even speaking english, because im not from the uk or america + i was like 4-5 when this song came out.. If i remember correctly 1 of my parents played it, and i really liked it.. Maybe because of the instrumental. But i still like it
Benjamin sings his heart out for sure but, the emotions are leaking through his body's all and every inch, and that's what I call commitment at singing. Steals your attention. So damn powerful. Pseudonym's never been a robbery. He('s living) embodies songs, thus, talent(ed). That's not all there is to them (not overlooking the rest of the band), their writing is excellent imo. The MV is genius here, this goes for Surrender too... Tribute to all those Fallen Leaves !
True!i used to play this with my old band back in 2011 never gave any thought to the lyrics now i'm listening listening o it again an paying attention to the lyrics im amazed
Billy Talent songs always hit really close to home for me. Every time I heard this song, it made me think of Hastings Street in downtown Vancouver. Turns out, the song *is* about the downtown eastside.
Every so often, I think it's important to look at your music taste and ask "How did we get to now?" This band answers just about everything for me. Been listening since I was three years old thanks to my mother and this was my jam for _years._ I got into the modern pop punk scene after rediscovering the concept of music the year before that with all of the 2000's stuff. Over the past few months I've gotten into post-hardcore which was no surprise but then I started getting into metalcore and stuff. Here I am now, appreciating the classics that have been queued up with my now favourite bands such as The Story So Far and ERRA. The past couple years has just been one musical epiphany after another and I have this band to thank for starting all of that.
I literally spent years looking for and thinking of this song, but never came to mind. Today I could finally find it. I'm so happy, this is a remarkable and memorable song from when I was a kid but never wrote down its name.
14 years ago, I listened to this song non stop for like 1 month until I got sick of it. Today I remembered it and played it again... It felt like I travelled in time... A time where life was so much simple. It feeled really weird.
