Check check Is it raining where you are? The only thing I can think to ask But nothing over hurt so bad As the no that you said back But ain't that the truth man Those are just facts The farther you go from where you start The harder it is to get back In order to figure things out I got to get real real confused I'm just trying to figure out what I started man I'm just doing what I need to do Love of my life Gone forever Love of my life Gone for good Love of my life Gone forever Aw get her back Good lord you know I wish I could Try to explain I try to explain to you That everything I'm doin right now Won't pay off for another year or two I never thought that it'd get so far But now I'm doin what I got to do I understand that business means business And I hope that you do to I do not blame you Your natural instinct to protect You gave me a list of things to keep this going And I only got a few more things to get This ones for the privacy I think that I deserve No you cannot join in god damn these people gots some nerve Leave me alone I'm tryna get in the zone Leave me alone I'm tryna get in the zone Love of my life Gone forever Love of my life Gone for good
thats cool and all but i dont care how he got the words there, i just like being able to read while im listening because I find it hard to focus on the lyrics if i cant see them. hes the only one i saw that posted them in the comments, so i thanked him.
tfb changed my life & the demos remember me of when i first found them like 5 years ago & all their music was like this & it gets me feeling some type of way, i feel you
Mizter Meschie West Virginia is my least favorite song because it's starts like this (really good) and the completely changes to crap (not to be rude) this demo gives me closure.
okay I love west virginia and historic cemetery but like I almost like the demos better. what I fell in love with about tfb was the fact that they're messy and under produced and back on top was far too clean and far too produced. the only reason I'd like west virginia better is that I like the electric guitar and the riffs in it and as far as historic cemtery goes, it features gdp so it kinda has to be my favorite.
These demos are golden, my gf showed me you guys and so far I'd say my favorite stuff is the I Hate My Friends EP and these Demos, you guys put a lot of work into your music and more bands should look to you guys as an example
"No you can't join in these people go some nerve." Damn... that's the first time I have ever questioned whether or not I should be singing at their shows...
yeah me too. i sang when i saw them live, along with basically everyone else there, and they never seemed like it annoyed them. but i don't know, maybe it does.
i really dont think it annoys them at all, at all f the shows i have been to people even "sang" along to the instruments in songs like Fuck Jobs and they all loved that from the looks of their faces...
When I saw them live he asked if anyone had any requests before he enthusiastically sung "I fuckin' hate the comments why do you feel you have to talk?" so I'd say they at least find it a little annoying.
honestly. who's cutting the lyrics out of front bottoms songs. i listened to going grey yesterday and every song i was like "this is pretty good but there is probably a secret version that is thirty times better." for real. who thinks front bottoms songs are better with less lyrics. ill fight them
So this is what TFB would sound like if they still had that gritty beautiful sound they started with instead of this new overproduced sound? Amazing. At least they're still gritty and amazing live!
I get both sides of the argument, "You sound too good now/ Theres nothing wrong with sounding better". But the "Theres nothing wrong with the sounding better" crowd needs to understand that there was some magic in that gritty sound we enjoyed before. And were allowed to miss that and appreciate it when we get small clips of it.
YES!! Love this version. Wish this could've made it onto the album. Love it sooooo much! Prefer this version over the album version any day. Ahhhhh so good
i love songs that make me feel angsty and entitled to basic things like privacy because I never feel entitled to anything, even the healthy things, and I am way too passive internally. I give up. That is why my depression is so bad.
A song that has so much meaning to me just got a little more closer to my heart. I love this. I love all of these releases TFB. You have grown into such a beautiful group that incorporates all of my favorite parts of music into one amazing sound. Absolutely wonderful, keep doing whatever it is you're doing my friends :-)
no, this is west Virginia, but this was before, hence the reason it has (demo). later on it was turned into west Virginia, either that or this is a demo of another version of west Virginia
Keaton Rondelli this is West Virginia but it was before they freshened it up so when they added things and took things out of this they just called it West Virginia
WTF did fbr do to you guys? This is way more your style. I know that if this comment was ever responded to the response would have to be that you guys still maintain your creative integrity, but it is obvious that this is the song that should have been released. Regardless, I will always love you guys and support you. I regret missing you last time you were in Cali, but I hope to see you live in the future.
mmmmm, sounds like exactly what I look for in the front bottoms. bless. i love it and really needed this right now. thank you. honestly can't say enough positive about this right now.
Check check Is it raining where you are? The only thing I could think to ask But nothing ever hurt so bad As the no that you said back But ain't that the truth, man?

The funny thing is, is this was one of my ex and i's favorite songs.There was no real reasoning why as it was just really catchy, we liked the lyrics etc. he passed on, and now when i listen to this song, i think of him, and how it relates so much to me now, and the memory of him. And how im just trying to keep myself going. ...rest in peace, zachariah. Love of my life, gone forever. Love of my life, gone for good. Get her back, good lord. You know i wish i could.
This is amazing. I found TFB right before Back on Top came out, and I dislike most of the stuff to come out after Ann. Ann really felt gross to me because I felt it made a lot of their best songs ever written sound horrible. It's really cool to get to hear a more raw version of a more "produced" TFB song, instead of a more "produced" version of a more raw song. Sure, this was before it became West Virginia, but it's not like this came out a decade before they re-released it as West Virginia, and totally changed the mood of the song.
Yeah, I only listen to "Today Is Not Real" off of the Ann EP (bc tbh, the og version is nearly unlistenable). Overall, I don't listen to the grandma eps at all due to the same reason as you. The og version of the songs may be rough in some parts, but at least they don't sound overproduced and flat. I wish they would give us demos of every song that comes out, so we can understand what happens when the songs get Fueled By Ramen'd
Yea, Going Grey was so disappointing and In Sickness & In Flames was nearly as bad.... They went from writing one of a kind, super catchy and surprisingly deep songs that sound like no other band, to.... well, trash with a hint here and there of what used to be. How does a band go from just about every song they ever wrote being good, to 2 albums of boring shit thats utterly forgettable?
The beginning is G-C-Em The love of my life part and the leave me alone part is C-D-G-Em The beginning I play in bar chords except Em, And the second part I play in the open versions of the chords but feel it out you’ll figure it out pretty easily
