It's got the swagger of Motley Crue with the modern hooks and melody of Taking Back Sunday. You can hear The Used influence too. Fuckin' crazy that this aged so well haha. Thanks for uploading!
Ronnie and Max were into Blink 182, Robert was into classic rock and metal, the Money brothers were into Nu Metal. Influences were all over the place but it worked out.
@@ecikitten BRO IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD I legit have to stop myself when I listen to this EP and DIYLF they're the all time favourites on my list HOLY SHIT
Thanks for keeping this uploaded. God, I wish this lineup of ETF had more time together. In my opinion this is Ronnie’s best era of writing. The other band members justifiably kicked him out of the band, that along with his incarceration seemed to make him quite bitter and it bled all over his future material, at least for the next few years. By this time my taste in music changed and I thought Falling in Reverse was too corny for me. I was hopeful when “the drug in me is you” single came out but other than that I couldn’t vibe with anything. I’m glad eventually Ronnie and the members of ETF made amends and even toured together, but damn I just wish it all turned out differently. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard these demos and they still hold up today. I love hearing the creative changes made to the songs that were on the forthcoming EP and album, which were produced so well. Ever member of the band added their own flare that meshed so well in the studio. This particular lineup could have made some insanely good music as the years went on but I have to be grateful for the songs they did make together, and the memories with friends listening to them.
… Oh my god, I have the remedy for love I struck the glass and broke the bones inside my fist, but I'm okay I cannot change you, you'll never change I never would expect to break this in the end Something so profound, something you won't expect Take this scripture like a picture and wear it around your neck The sky it opens up Don't get swallowed by the flames What's mine is yours and yours is mine so take me away You hear the sounds, to carry out There's no sympathy for the dead It swells and I, was never the same There's no sympathy for the dead We dance like zombies do in the middle of the rain We see the stones falling from the sky (on fire) The blinding light beaming from your eyes (our desire) Life has died, yet we're still alive and down below A sea of damned crashing like a tidal wave I cannot change you, you'll never change I never would expect to break this in the end I can't breathe Wake up from this nightmare that I'm in Dive into a holy river and wash away my sins As I reach (sanctified) the surface of the water now I will breathe and burn out my eyes You hear the sounds, to carry out There's no sympathy for the dead It swells and I, was never the same There's no sympathy for the dead We dance like zombies do in the middle of the rain We see the stones falling from the sky (on fire) The blinding light beaming from your eyes (our desire) Life has died, yet we're still alive and down below A sea of damned crashing like a tidal wave … So take the medicines to quench the pain we have And walk until the end, until you've reached the sun A hundred thousand wings, soaring through the sky At intense speeds, we can't catch with our eyes You hear the sounds of a third carried out Just wait (just wait) You hesitate I have the remedy to this poisonous kiss I struck the glass, it shatters bones in my fist I have the remedy to this poisonous kiss I struck the glass, it shatters bones in my fist I have the remedy to this poisonous kiss I struck the glass, it shatters bones in my fist I have the remedy to this poisonous kiss I struck the glass, it shatters bones in my fist … You hear the sounds There's no sympathy for the dead You hear the sounds There's no sympathy for the dead You hear the sounds There's no sympathy for the dead You hear the sounds
The music really did die the day he walked away. It’s actually insane how surface level The lyrics became after Ronnie left. Just a profound lack of creativity. And it’s weird because Craig Mabbitt’s solo stuff doesn’t suffer from the same problems that the Craig led ETF does. His solo stuff is actually pretty dang good. The Money brothers also create excellent music after leaving ETF. It’s a real lighting in a bottle kinda thing.
It’s because Craig has full control of his side project, but in ETF it’s not just him making the calls. The other members have a say on what ETF should sound like, and who knows, maybe the their record label has a say on what they make
