This song reminds me of by brother. He was always the crazy one. He passed in 2011 at 20. I tried leaving this town once and failed. He made it to San Francisco.. but never ended up traveling the world like he wanted. He will always be gold to me
Friendship isn't just about being there for someone when they need you, it's about being there for someone for company. They're not the person who saves you last second when you're almost in the dark, they're the person who was constantly trying to pull you away from it the whole time.
I can't thank the warrior cats community enough for introducing me to this amazing song! My grandpa and i were never close; he was just a grumpy old man I happened to be related to. But after I showed him this song, he opened up and told me stories about things he did with his friends/siblings when they were little. He actually turned out to be a really sweet, funny old man and we're super close. I recently found out he has a Carcinoid Tumor (I think that's what he has? I'm not certain). I really hope he gets better! Thanks for reading my little story about my Pop Pop
This is so sweet. I hope your grandfather gets better! Random sweet stories like these always make me feel happy. I recently lost my grandfather, so this really hits close to home. I send you my best wishes!
"All my life I've never known where you've been There were holes in you The kind that I could not mend And I heard you say Right when you left that day Does everything go away? Yeah, everything goes away. But I'm going to be here 'til forever So just call when you're around." Yes, I'm crying.
I've always thought of Primus that way(my favorite band of all time). This is a nice change of pace, I first heard of Radical Face in the shoestore I used to work in at the mall. I've been hooked since. :)
We were tight knit boys Brothers in more than name You would kill for me And knew that I'd do the same And it cut me sharp Hearing you'd gone away But everything goes away Yeah everything goes away But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground And I was there, when you grew restless Left in the dead of night And I was there, when three months later You were standing in the door all beat and tired And I stepped aside Everything goes away Yeah everything goes away But I'm gonna be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground So quiet down We were opposites at birth I was steady as a hammer No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be And they said you were the crooked kind And that you'd never have no worth But you were always gold to me And back when we were kids We swore we knew the future And our words would take us half way 'round the world But I never left this town And you never saw New York And we ain't ever cross the sea But I am fine with where I am now This home is home, and all that I need But for you, this place is shame But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame Oh I don't mind All my life I've never known where you've been There were holes in you The kind that I could not mend And I heard you say Right when you left that day Does everything go away? Yeah, everything goes away. But I'm going to be here 'til forever So just call when you're around.
this song reminds me of Thor an Loki's relationship. "steady as a hammer" "said you were the crooked kind" Thor would totally be singing this about his brother, Loki.
Coincidentally, some 10+ years ago when the MCU Thor movie came out, I found out about this song - and by extension, this beautiful band Radical Face - because someone had played it over a short clip of Thor and Loki.
I adore the drum rhythm after the lyrics "you can blame me when there's no one left to blame, oh I don't mind". It's like a drum line performance cut into a repeating rhythm and doesn't happen anywhere else in the song. It's unexpected entirely but somehow fits perfectly. I love it.
I sometimes wonder, what has our world become? But then I remember that radical face exists, all the amazing people that listen to such good music exist, and it makes me happy and regain my faith in humanity :)
I have a twin brother, this song conveys our relationship almost perfectly. We were tight knit boys, brothers in more than name. But everything indeed does go away, I was the brother who was there, the one that was "steady as a hammer" and never had anyone worried because they all knew where I could be found. Everyone else thought that my twin was the crooked kind that would never have no worth...but Tyler was always and will always be gold to me. He can blame me, I don't mind.
Exactly the same thing happened to me! I was listening to welcome home a couple of years ago and I stumbled onto the rest of their songs and I'm so glad I did!
I've had many failed friendships in my life, and they've life some gaping holes in me. I never really had that childhood friend who was always by my side and my relationship with my little sister is strained. So for me, this song just reminds me of the person who left me, who was struggling with pain and who I thought was gold. And always will, despite everything
RADICAL FACE LYRICS "Always Gold" We were tight knit boys Brothers in more then name You would kill for me And knew that I'd do the same And it cut me sharp Hearing you'd gone away But everything goes away Yeah everything goes away But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground And I was there, when you grew restless Left in the dead of night And I was there, when three months later You were standing in the door all beat and tired And I stepped aside Everything goes away Yeah everything goes away But I'm gonna be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground So quiet down We were opposites at birth I was steady as a hammer No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be And they said you were the crooked kind And that you'd never have no worth But you were always gold to me And back when we were kids We swore we knew the future And our words would take us half way 'round the world But I never left this town And you never saw New York And we ain't ever cross the sea But I am fine with where I am now This home is home, and all that I need But for you, this place is shame But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame Oh I don't mind All my life I've never known where you've been There were holes in you The kind that I could not mend And I heard you say Right when you left that day Does everything go away? Yeah, everything goes away. But I'm going to be here 'til forever So just call when you're around.
And we ain't ever cross the sea But I am fine with where I am now This home is home, and all that I need But for you, this place is shame But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame Oh I don't mind All my life I've never known where you've been There were holes in you The kind that I could not mend And I heard you say Right when you left that day Does everything go away? Yeah, everything goes away. But I'm going to be here 'til forever So just call when you're around.
this song makes me think of The Outsiders literally every fucking time I listen to it especially at the “always gold” part and god damn if I don’t start crying every time
Since everyone has a different way they got here I'll share my story: - Loved a band called The Shins - Loved Zach Braff - So naturally when a film with the 2 in came out I saw it "Wish I was here" - Heard 'The Mute - Radical Face' - Went to find other great songs by him - Found 'welcome home' and 'always gold'
Sometimes I just like to tap my foot along to this song. Sometimes it shakes me to my bones. Sometimes I cry, sometimes I laugh. Sometimes I get goosebumps. This song can elicit so many emotions from me, and I love it for that.
A song doesn't need to be famous just to prove its value. Imagine your friends going home, turning on well-known songs like We can't stop, ... while you turns on songs your peers had no idea about, and you feel like this is your secret garden, you feel like you're safe, you feel like you are special, to indulge in something that no one knows about, and you laugh when you think of those people out there and what they missed. This is what I call the beauty of the unseen. This is eternal.
I'll be honest, this guy understands musical flow VERY well. A lot of modern bands don't get how to make a song flow from one sound/melody to the next.
Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ ɪs Eʟsᴇᴡʜᴇʀᴇ Just found one of my songs that they will play on my funeral...by than I hope they won't grieve to much but be happy when I'm lying there in my coffin.
blacklist brought me here. Season 2 Episode 16 (Tom Keen) such a great delivery of the speech by James Spader. He said so much and yet so little, very powerful words, very well done scene.
"But that won't last, it's all a fraud, it's really not about her at all, its all about you and your just going through the motions to solve your own guilt, but all the money, all the time, and effort all the favors cannot equal what you took away from her, everything else is just a a good gesture" - Raymond Reddington, this scene was pure brilliance he spoke out of her pov but also his own it's exactly what he has done for Lizzie, The Blacklist is one of the freshest and most amazing shows on tv today absolutely brilliant
this song reminds me of my first two warrior cat ocs. they were opposite sisters, and loved eachother dearly. they were called nightkit/nightpaw/nightflower/nightstar and berrykit/berrypaw/berryheart. berrynose grew up to be a medicine cat. nightstar obviously became a clan leader. when they were both just warrior and medicine cat, a wildfire spread and berryheart died from the massive inhalation of smoke and several burns. this song just makes me think nightstar would be singing this about berryheart.
Here in Argentina we speak Spanish, but our class read this book in english when we where about 16 years old. Hope u all stay gold! thx about making me remmember this.
Every time I hear his music, I just can't believe it's all done by one guy... He is incredibly talented, and yeah, he really does deserve more views. Pretty sad to think that one song about the blurred lines between sex and rape can get more views than all of his songs combined.
I'm getting East of Eden vibes from the lyrics. The golden boy, loved by his father, and the "bad" brother, struggling to earn his father's approval and love. But no matter what, they're still brothers, even if they only share one parent.
i dedicate this song to my brother who has struggled with severe alcoholism for 4 years after his child died. dakota please know i love you so much. please come home
I hold this song very near and dear to my heart because it reminds me most of my brother. He’s always been in my life, despite being 12 years older than me. When I was younger, we understood each other. We annoyed each other, antagonized each other, fought over the remote, but he was always there to teach me something new or help me beat a video game level. But then he got into drugs in college and he’s never been the same since. He spent a while in the mental hospital and got clean, and he graduated college after 6 years, two major changes, and a school change. He was doing well for himself, on his way to moving out and having a stable job and income. Then COVID hit and everything went to shit. Recently he’s fallen down a deep hole. He’s in major debt, he’s relapsed and became violent, withdrawn, and psychotic. He’s hurt me, my parents, and pushed away all of his friends. He’s been in and out of the psychiatric hospital for the past year and a half, and he just doesn’t seem to learn. He’s a smart kid, and it’s not his fault that he was forced into drugs, but it frustrates me that that kid who used to be my hero and guiding light turned into that asshole, and some days it’s hard to feel empathy for him. I know he needs help and he wants to change, but it’s such a complicated problem for me to handle, as I’m going to be going to college next year and facing my own problems. When I listen to this song, I think of that kid who helped me with my homework and introduced me to Pokémon and Star Wars, and wonder if reconciliation is possible. If I can look him in the eye and forget about the scars he gave me, physically and emotionally. I know I’m only a stranger in the comment section, but I just wanted to put this somewhere. Love your siblings with every chance you get, because you never know when they might change or go away forever.
There's something about the notes he uses in the melody when he sings "and I was there when you were restless" and even more so when he sings "and I am fine with where I am now" it's just wide open and maybe it's because of how suddenly quiet the rest of the music gets but it's so open and wide and emotional and that's what makes this song so full of emotion and I love songs like that and they're so rare but oh so good
I discovered this song by accident one day but now everytime I hear it I never fail to cry. It makes me think of my brother when we were growing up as kids. And now as adults I moved away from home for work. But I miss him so much. All those good memories I have of him feel so distant and far away
Today is my older brother's bday and I relate to this song so much, I love him but we aren't much close anymore and he is dealing with really shitty things, but he will be always gold to me
As soon as Facebook introduced the Thanks video, this song got stuck in my head. Have been searching it for a while. Thanks so much for this beautiful piece!
Top...................................... Música para lembra do passado, viver o futuro, e acreditar na vida! Música pra lembrar q a viva e linda, por mais obstáculos q possa a ver! Música pra lembrar q somos únicos e podemos ser especial, onde podemos marcar nossa história com muita alegria! Sem essa de br.... Sou Brasileiro.... Sou .....BRASIL...
I just happened to find Radical Face on spotify and this was their first song i heard... I fell in love with them immediately and was crazy happy to suddenly hear them on the radio because i thought they'd be one of those great bands who'd never become famous.. i just love love LOVE them ❤
Firestar and Graystripe (Warriors) Ponyboy and Johnny (The Outsiders) Stanley and Standford (Gravity Falls) Jack and Joseph (Orbiting Jupiter) The Marauders (Harry Potter) Dante and Virgil (Dante's Inferno trilogy) Squirrelflight and Leafpool (Warriors) Sherlock and Watson (Sherlock Holmes, specifically the books) The Dragonets of Destiny (Wings of Fire)
Makes my heart squeeze a bit every time I listen to it. I'm crying, is that normal? Be careful, Lizzie. When you start down this road, there's no logical place to stop.
I stumbled here from Welcome Home, which I stumbled upon after being on a Ghost B.C. kick and seeing Welcome Home was on an album called "Ghost". Glad this was made into a Warriors MAP. I've never seen Blacklist, but I'm glad this song made it onto a show. That's pretty damn awesome. Radical Face deserves it.
You hear this song once and you suddenly feel tons of emotion that comes with it. I heard this song the other day and I've een singing it ever since, I love it :)
“You can blame me when there’s no one left to blame, no, I don’t mind” Is my favorite line, because goddamn I’d carry the wait of the universe for you, brother, and I need no thanks from you
I love this song. I was first introduced to it my freshman year of college when our color guard used it for their feature at our marching band indoor concert (I am in the band). I just remember they had one door as their set piece. Anyway, now I'm graduating from school and leaving the band and this song sums up how I feel so well.
