The early 2000's, my 20's. The basement of a bar in Louisville named Jillians. 20 dollar tickets. Revis, Tantric and Fuel. Damn it, i miss the old days.
One of the most underrated bands ever. This song encapsulates a mood and takes me back to a particular time in my life. A relationship from long ago... We fell hard when this song was at its peak, and every time I hear it, I get a little lost in those sweet memories. Damn why did I come here.
That's what I miss the most about most music today, real emotion and true feeling you can hear in the vocals. I love how he howls the chorus out, so cool.
I discovered this track, not on the radio or MTV, but on the demo video they played on the TV wall while working at Target in 2003. Hair down to my ass, dyed black, baggy-ass jeans and skater shoes. Working overnights, whenever this came up in the rotation I would crank the stereos up to the point where you could hear it through the entire store and I would rock the fuck out. Eventually a quiet part would come along and I'd finally hear that the electronics dept phone was ringing off the hook, the manager on the other end screaming at me to turn it the hell down. Every night with this shit until they finally got the updated dvds and Revis was no more. Good times. Miss those days...
in 10 years you could be saying the same about now. we lose your youth by the second every second. so jus find something enjoyable now amongst the rest of the chaos we we live. Then atleast its never wasted. Def not tryin to preach or sound liek some bla bla but i have had alot of time thinking about it an it really works for me even in the "darkest". For me anyway. Maybe it will help.
Josh Claitor Yeah, life is what you make of it is what I take from this. I love this song. I heard it off of the Daredevil soundtrack, and even though that was an awesome movie, Daredevil is a great character that represents the tenacity I think we should all have. Turn your weakness into a strength. Bored? Too much time? Create something new. Write a blog. Go biking. That free time can be productive. I know what you mean about life being simpler back in the day and that's true. But ask yourself if you're the type of person to give up on life when it gets hard. Or are you the guy that's going to face adversity and kick life in the ass?
When I was 16: that was 2003!!! I went to my first rock concert. It was Deftones and A Perfect Circle. For German fans this was super special that time, to see these great bands in one show! In the very beginning Revis started with their performance! Holy Cow - we were blown away by them and of cause we bought their album on our way out. This band from that day on had a very special place in my life and heart! Looking forward to pass on their songs to my daughter at one day! Thank you Revis!
Did anyone actually grab Revis’ album Places for Breathing? This whole album was so good. One of those “put in on and let it play through” types you don’t get a whole lot of like that. Man would’ve loved to see how these guys wound up 3-4 albums in. Spin, Seven, Your Wall, Living Rooms, Straight Jacket Labels, Places For Breathing….. all hot tracks.
I actually saw them live in Tilburg (The Netherlands). They were the opening act for Evanescence. I was so blown away that I immediately went to the merchandise stand to buy this album. I don't even remember what year it was but it must be like 20+ years ago. Still listen to it regularly. Such an underrated gem.
Southern Illinois will always be proud to call Revis our own. There are so many amazing musicians here who go unnoticed their entire lives. I'm glad this band wasn't one of then. We really do need a reunion!
I was living just across the wabash river from southern illinois when this album dropped in 2003. I heard it on 89.1 the bash out of mt carmel every single day that summer. good times
Cool to hear this. Mom's side is from Anna/Jonesboro area, and it holds a dear place in the heart from my childhood. Love this song and will dig deeper into the band.
@@J2daAmie wow what a coincidence! I like to reply to comments that were made years ago to random songs that pop in my head (just to hopefully make them good and give a bit of nostalgia).
Daredevil is SUCH an old (awesome) movie >< and Man without fear such an amazing song. Took me all these years to think about checking out the entire soundtrack. And this song right here is GOLD!
@@lorne510 yes it is, and if this was the movie, it was a sleeper hit at worst. The real movie basically was a showcase for Electra, Jennifer Garner. I hate that casting, it sucked very hard. Yet, this song reminds of wanting to survive 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st degree burns over half my body. Somehow, I cam out of it looking 29, when I'm almost 40. So hell yeah, luck can happen.
“Old”? Dude. It was released less than 20 years ago. By your Gen Z logic, the first “Iron Man” is also an “old” movie. Also, virtually all of the songs on the soundtrack are stellar! Lol
February 20 - 2023 - Revis is Back announced by Justin Holman in social media and page of the band "revissounds"! i can't believe in this, they really came back!
Is it real? We're always the same We're almost undone now I was caught in the rain, wastin' my time on the ground. Waiting the call of what would you say and can you come over? I was caught in the rain, wastin' my time on the ground. It was you Who could get me high with whatever you say You're tellin' me something real What we do doesn't matter now Whatever it takes for you to stay with me Trading thoughts across from the room I saw you surrounded I was caught in rain, wastin' my time on the ground. Feeling us fall, without an escape I almost let you down I was caught in the rain, wastin' my time on the ground. It was you Who could get me high with whatever you say You're tellin' me something real What we do doesn't matter now Whatever it takes for you to stay with me
I've listened to this song a thousand times!!! Still have the 💿 cd... But today was the first time I read the words... Blown away!!! Still love these guys😍❤💖
Thank you for the lyrics! I was fairly certain that the first verse didn't say "we're almost a gnome now," but I could never quite figure out the correct words.
My cousin Justin rocks! He is a great guy! This is the first time I have ever spoke of it. He left a good family and secure home to try to make it big. Told me about how he spent time living in a dumpster before he got this break. This man earned it. He came back here and treated me like a king during the height of his fame. A class act. The irony is he thought I was a cool guy. I only wish I could live up to him. Good luck in whatever life offers you Justin!
it's interesting. when i first heard this song about 3 years ago on Pandora, i was in love with this group. their first album was amazing. i listened to it all the time. i even found Justin on FB. he was a worship leader at a church, married with a beautiful family. i wrote him a short note about how much the record moved me and that even years later his music was affecting people. without a response, he blocked me. i was pretty shocked. disappointed. i still love the record.
@@yahwehschild1375 Yes I agree, that was very mean of Justin to do such a thing..But so many people are this way..just so uncaring..What goes around comes around..I know this.
@@TheNancyDee Wants to deny the existence of his former self. Probably not even him being a dick, more like he's not that guy anymore. All the same, sad. I remember this tune when it first came out (had no idea who the band was or the name of the song) but I thought for its time it was pretty. I was glad to rediscover it. Let's "pray for him." If he's the way you describe him, he's sure in need of something.
Man this album was like stumbling onto a meteor in a field, only one Ever produced and none the same ever again. Will always listen to it, even if I make it to 98. Phenomenal!!!
I'm truly pissed off that I'm JUST NOW discovering this band. I was sitting on my bathroom floor drinking vodka when I first heard this (may sound funny, I get it). I'm 24 years old, about to be 25 this month. I dropped out of college because of a destructive relationship. I've been struggling with alcohol since then. I have to wake up and drink. I'm so fucking depressed lately that I can't even clean my own apartment without debilitating fatigue. I wrote "dead" on my mirror the other day. This is the lowest point I've ever been to in my life, but I have a son to live for. When I found this band I looked up to my ceiling light, and just smiled, and thanked god, for something, just something that lifted my spirits as much as this band did. Depression kills. Humanity saves.
Here, listening this beauty, laying in my bed at 3:54 am, feeling totally amazed on how my life went so fast, and how i didn't appreciate so many things back in the day. I wish I could rewind my life.
Served in Afghanistan in 2005, at a remote outpost. Met a beautiful, impressive, exceptional Royal Dutch Medic supporting the Dutch Marines who rolled with us for a few OPS. Things went as far as they could go for her and I in a place like that then even off the map sheet. Somehow in all that, this song got thrown in the mix....that place, that time, that girl, this damn song... never did get over her, just walked it in with the limp from then to this day. Life moves on for all of us, as it should, but sometimes you meet THAT one, hear THAT song, in THAT place, during THAT time and all your left with are a few pictures a patch or two, and memories you cant pressure wash out of your damn head, This damn song has been an anthem of the high water mark in life I have never surpassed nor replicated...., in the most dangerous and worst place in the world to meet that one game changer in your life... As we go through our adult years, sadly, we burn through people. However that ONE, that ONE that bears NO FEELING like it compared to anyone else, That ONE that made you feel 2 feet taller than you were and never have been since. I think we only get the ONE, IF WE ARE LUCKY to find them. Damit I found my ONE, stayed connected, she is there with hers, I'm here with mine..... But THAT time, THAT place, THAT song, THAT GIRL, me being THAT GUY.....Well, just a damn epic story. But that ending wasnt good enough for me. See it, believe it, then action it! 14 yrs later.......I just married her today! Impossible is a weak ass word, and to be honest, I dont think very much of it....
This album is one of my favorite of all time. In my opinion, it's the perfect album. Amazing vocals and lyrics, perfect amount of distortion/clean guitar balance. Wish their second album would have come out.
OMG, saw them in SC in DEC 2003 live; and they were touring with Fuel, and WOW, they REALLY ROCKED IT! IMO, Totally stole the show.. ^^. So, I bought a copy of both bands Album CD's though; and to this day, I still love listening to BOTH Brett and Justin singing. Their voices, SO AMAZING, and SO unique, and their Bands, well, I really miss them.
I've owned this album since 2003 on cd and it gets played about 30 times a year. It just sits in the car cd player Even after all this time I still absolutely love it.
2019 and still jamming to it. Man 2000-2003 best time in music. That music is incomparable. Were we could rockout to songs in a car eating airheads. Now everyone be on their airpods ignoring each other. We need to go back!
jakethemuss3 Yes. Awesome soundtrack on that game. I wish games still had good soundtracks. The songs on MLB The Show 18 aren’t my cup of tea, and neither was 17. Music just changed. This fast rock style of music isn’t mainstream popular anymore.
I heard this song on a free cd from best buy. I pride myself at my age[62] to find good rock and roll music that doesn't get enough play for most people to hear. Great lyrics.CCCCCCC
What raw energy from such young guys, amazing songs. After all these years I still find it hard to find a match to their energy, they kick it or they send it high and far.
YES JESUS! I LOVE THIS SONG! Brings back the good old modern rock days of the 2000-2003 of my younger days in high school growing up in the burbs. I miss songs that came out back then like this. Artists that had that fresh look and sound Avril Lavigne with Complicated or New Found Glory with My Friends Over You. Memories!!!!! Anyone agree????
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song. I have never been so blown away by a band before in my life. It was like discovering music for the first time.
Tell me I'm not the only one here that HAS TO TURN UP THE VOLUME a little bit every time that hook hits and he sings "It was you, that could get me high". I just can't help myself.
Guys, if you are still there, thank you for your music. It rocked the living hell. And the intro, how the rain starts, with a rapid small drops, then the thunder, and then it pours down. I got it.
Holy nostalgia overload. This and many other great songs from the early to mid 2ks quickly faded from memory due to bad habits. Every now and then a song like this will pop up that I haven’t heads in almost 20 years and it’s almost like hearing it for the first time all over again - i get super stoked and play it on repeat.
Man... This was such an amazing group. Every time I listen to this album I get such a great feeling, it's wierd. I wonder what ever happened to them, definitely a group I would have loved to follow.
They split up during creating an album. Sucks right??? I love them. On the flip side, one of the songs from there new album did make it to You tube. Its called searching for someone. My friend Lynda told me about it we thought they had a new album but they actually had just split up. Its a really good song. I do recommend looking it up and listening. Maybe they will get back together so we can all see and hear them again.
I have SUCH nostalgia with this song and the entire album. I had just left home and moved out to Colorado as a very young 20-something, and was still very new to the wonderful and big changes happening in my life, and this album carried me through. I still get chills listening even almost 20 years later.
The song gives me serious chills every time I hear it. I'm about to turn 63. Go figure. I've told my kids many times over this is the greatest 3:30 of music you'll ever hear. So perfect & strkes that emotion in you.
My old buddy linked this song to me just now. I haven't heard it in like 20 years. It was like getting my tip licked again for the first time. I love this song.
I found a CD version of "Places For Breathing" yesterday (12/2022) and have been listening to it all day. Great album! I wish they'd get back together and tour!
Very beautiful song indeed, and singer Justin Holman has the perfect voice for the genre. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the track was hanging around on the Daredevil soundtrack back in the day, but for some reason I don't think it got much coverage in the movie. It would have been perfect for the moment where Ben Affleck "sees" Jennifer Garner's face for the first time from the sound of the raindrops falling on her skin. There's that word again - perfect. Quite right too.
At least 1.9million people have class. Welcome friends, to one of the best songs you're ever going to hear from one of the best albums. I wish this band would have realized their full potential, because this music was about 10 years too early, they would be MASSIVE today.
People still talk about these guys...I just want to go to a live show when I hear this. Head banging like crazy. This and Save Our Souls just must be played often, and loudly.
Lead Singer found Jesus and is doing Worship music now, he's actually going to be about 20 minutes away March of 2018 in Benton Illinois singing at the R.I.O.T. music event!
Reminds me of hanging out with my best friend Shane Lewis driving around cruising every time it rained just hanging out being teenagers. Amazing times. Wouldn’t change it for anything. Daredevil soundtrack!
