Ever since i was 14. I thought the lyrics were IM SO SICK OF BEING IN LA.

This song feels like battle music. It's like that song you'd hear during the final battle of an action show, where the main hero faces off with the final boss one last time. I love this song and I'm glad I got to play it last year

i’d play the trumpet part just to play that final melody at the end (tenor sax player here)

this son has the greatest ending ever. the festivo where it speeds up and the trumpets and horns are the main fortissimos, it just makes me remember playing this song for an honour band performance with over 100 people. greatest piece ever made.

Best song by them isn't on spotify

literally boutta play this later tonight, any fellow percussionists here???

i play fortnite

i played this my 7th grade year. covid hit my 8th grade year. we were so excited to go to our district festival for this song. makes me miss middle school band and now i’m a senior in highschool and i get so emotional when i hear this song

Gosh I had so much fun playing this in jr high <3 flute part was so fun! This and Light Calvary Overture get stuck in my head aaaaaaall the time i won't even lie

TUBA SOLO MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED

Flutes and trumpets carried

This brings back memories. As the only low woodwind. Im losing it.

PERCUSSION ON TOP

Got recommendation from Obake PAM Ch.

I like Dream Theater,but I wish people would leave Queen songs alone.They are the hardest band to cover and also there is no outdoing them

as a flute player, i died while playing this

Blood stained faces bodies torn apart Tear stained eyes and fists clenched longing for revenge Bearded men gun - toting men Chanting praises to their god Screaming "Martyrs never Die." Is it true that a picture says a thousand words? Or in our case is it a thousand lies? Our eyes, Our Ears In the Foreign world are just a source of Glowing facades More deaf and dumb then us ourselves I'd rather blame the oppressor Than blame the oppressed Darkness cloaks the Holy Land Sprinkled with asperity of sin Now tell me when will they be free? Our eyes, Our ears In the foreign world are just a source of glowing facades More deaf and dumb then us ourselves Everyday we flip through the channels expecting the truth But what do we see? The vilified become the victims And the oppressors become the oppressed How can we live our lives? How can we sleep at night? Knowing that our brothers and sisters in humanity Are being stripped of their homes I'm asking you to stand up and make a difference Cause it's pretty clear that the only solution is liberation Our eyes our ears In the foreign world are just a source of glowing facades More deaf and dumb than us ourselves "Martyrs never DIE!"

I love this song from a french hornist perspective

oh the nostalgia

ayee i played this for my spring concert on the snare drum

as the trumpet soloist for this piece in middle school, i love it.

the last time my band played this, i started sobbing and i swear a song has never made me feel that way

There a special part in this that makes me cry every time I hear it. I imagine playing this at Highschool graduation and the people crying and stuff and it makes me tear up so much. The fact that William Himes passed away not too long ago doesn't help it either. Godspeed, William Himes.

Awesome song!

I'm playing bari sax for this one, and am absolutely loving it. Anyone know if it's from anything?

God this sounds so good when people actually know the music. Currently the trumpets in my band can’t keep their shit together

How dare these pieces of shit piss over a Mona Lisa. Who the fuck do they think they are?

Percussion is a W on this song

When I was in 7th grade, one of my band mates bought the whole score and parts for this song because he wanted us to play. Obviously our band director knew we couldn't handle but the kid DID pay for it, so director let us try and it was bad lmao. Thankfully I got to play it couple years later

Low brass euphonium for life, baybee!

Man playing this om the trumpet was so good always had the chills whenever I played

Anyone else notice that Just Defy could also be Justify?

Almost passed out playing this song on first trumpet

Damn, if anyone in the foreseeable future actualy plays this, and sees this will you please reply to this message... all the other comments are 3-5 years old

So this is what it sounds like without the altos rushing.

I'm a 1st Trombone, anyone else?

They should do a full cover

This is a fun song for first trombone

god, I haven't heard this since I played it in high school. Such a great piece of music!

Has anyone seen Roldo?

I had the trumpet solo in this. My favorite solo from middle school.

I have a neat little story of why I'm here. So how did I find out about this band? Well, I first got curious about the history of Blender, the 3D modelling and animation software, after seeing on Twitter the work of a man with 20 years of experience with the application. I didn't fathom Blender to be over 20, so I went to investigate on Wikipedia. Scrolling through the page, I was curious to know the origins of the test model, Suzanne, a model of a chimpanzee head (named in-program as "monkey"). Apparently, the man who modelled her named Suzanne after the orangutan from that one Kevin Smith buddy comedy movie (I don't know the name, and I'm too lazy to look it up). So as I was curious to learn more, I wandered around the Wikipedia page for that movie, and I skimmed to the bottom, and I found a controversy section when a supposed Matthew Shepard Foundation said "naw, son, stop gay jokes" and some legal shenanigans made the movie make donations or some shit and reference such in the movie's credits. Since I, being a gay myself, am interested in the history of sexual orientation, I pressed on to know more. Going further to learn about the history of the foundation and the titular Matthew Shepard. I looked up the guy's Wikipedia page, and I scrolled on, cried at his story, yada-yada... then I looked into the deep pit of media inspired by the guy's tragic death and the black swan in LGBT rights therein. In there, I saw this band's album, A Calculated Use of Sound, and this song referenced Shepard's necrogeography, Leramie, in the title. Interested in elaborate, ostentatious titles such as this, I decided to check this album out, maybe add it to my collection of tunes to play in my room while modelling for a consecutive 4 or so hours. It's okay, I guess; maybe, if I was in the mood to find a mix of rock and screaming metal, I'd stumble upon this album, but I'd give it a pass because I'd say it added a little too much of the screaming. Not saying it's bad, just not my taste. But, oh, for sure, the story of how I got here from trying to learn about the history of a 3D software is a cool story on degrees of separation, though. Anyway, thanks for sticking around in this little corner of the internet, now go hydrate yourself, cheers.

Wow this slipped under my radar for a decade somehow!

Played this for district on trumpet.. so beautiful!

Bruh I haven’t played this since middle school and I was 1st clarinet now I’m a god damn college student . Lowkey wish I was still playing but dropped out of band junior year of high school cause I had to be a follower and quit it with my friends

this song always makes me feel like it belongs on a train scene of a movie

음?드림시어터치고 평이하다했더니 곡이 순서가 바뀌었네
