[@Tinkatube]

I would kill AND die for instrumental karaoke versions of these tracks to be released. Begging y'all!

[@schmleff]

There are very few people that could pull them off. What a voice.

[@Mortal2064]

PLEASE, I *need* instrumental tracks for these songs!

[@gribobus]

I need them so badly

[@TheArtSmith23]

Every Song Breakdown Ryan: I had this idea for a song and here's what it means. Andrew: I wrote the lyrics for the song and added some of my own meaning to it. Buttonz: I played the drums 😎 Absolutely love this band!

[@pasta_bandit]

Hit like a wrecking ball after the rest of the album. Absolutely amazing from start to finish!

[@Managarm]

Usually with final songs like this I feel that they slightly overstay their welcome. However, the way vulture makes a hard cut and then drifts away with that uncertain outro is just perfect ❤

[@marcosbm8094]

This is definitely the highlight of the album for me. There's something about the sense of dread that builds up throughout the song until the explosion that is the finale. It feels completely cathartic.

[@Britestreak]

The Mario Cliche was a fav but this song hit like a brick and I dont think Ill ever stop replaying it. Amazing album and amazing band, rock on bear ghost! 🐻 👻

[@rideronthedrumbeat]

I come from a community with a lot of complicated feelings on religion, and I've been passing this song around to my friends like a chain email, hoping it reaches someone who needs the same catharsis I felt when I first heard it. Big props to you guys for creating something so impactful.

[@opera_ghost8504]

Vulture is for sure the song that hit closest to home in a personal way, definitely one for all my "recovering catholic" homies. Magnificent ending to the album, it's climactic, it's powerful, it's beautiful, love it. 10/10 will be screaming at the top of my lungs again

[@Tinkatube]

You know, I think it's fairly common to find a song that captivates your mind. Lots of songs are meant to be catchy, creative, interesting in their own ways. Singing about experiences many can relate to so they can remember good times. What isn't as common, I think, is a song that well and truly captivates the heart. One that goes for a less universal experience, and cuts deep into those who have lived it. One that isn't afraid to scream about how unfair this life is, one that begs not for mercy but for an ending to it all. One that isn't afraid to, quite literally, scream "F*ck this" and go for the throat against the perpetrator. This song is for victims. This song is for the suffering. This song is for those who have given up escape, or are on the cusp of it. This song has captivated my very SOUL. And I'll always, always, always come back to it when I feel hopeless. I yearn for the day I won't understand the lyrics of this song anymore, but that may never happen. This life is a part of who I am, but I will not let it define me. Thank you for seeing us, Bear Ghost. Thank you for such a beautiful and heartbreaking piece.

[@synthwave-arcade]

I got introduced to this band by a friend and I’ve been going through everything and Vulture (right next to Barbecue) has to be one of my fav songs because it just feels so impactful. You can feel the frustration, the rage, the DESPERATION in the song. I’m not sure how but this song managed to capture all my feelings relating to religious trauma I have and it’s so impactful. The lyrics hit like a truck and by god I’ll let that truck run over me as many times as it needs because I’ve never seen lyrics so impactful in this sense before. Amazing, amazing work

[@EchoDrawsThingss]

YESS VULTURE!!! This is absolutely my fav of the album, it’s so- HARSH- but in a good way. It displays a crap ton of emotion (and it works super well for some animation/art ideas ;)) I listened to it on repeat for a few days after I first heard it lol

[@EchoDrawsThingss]

Gotta be honest, I pretty much know the song word for word now :|

[@crowbarjones6238]

Same

[@edenharness247]

When I listened to this song for the first time, I had just gotten out of a relationship. It ended amicably at first, but somehow the tension between us built and it ended up in a nasty severing. I was determined to listen to all of your music, but when I came across this song, it stirred up those hurt feelings. It describes this person kind of how my ex was trying to portray me. I was devastated and I decided never to listen to it again. Joke's on me. I listened to it when I was over it and I love it! It's a great song. It's been on repeat for the past thirty minutes.

[@OribiaMcChan]

it’s a personal fave omg

[@WYATTWHATWHY]

god this song is so raw. i first listened to it on a long car trip and when i finally got to this one i wasn't paying too much attention, still living in the glow of the other songs but then it HIT ME. and GOD DID IT HIT HARD. never ever thought id sob violently to a bear ghost song of all things, but GEE DID I. the final screams and just.. wow. amazingly orchestrated by the whole lot of you, i've listened to it well over 45 times now in a row, and i haven't gotten sick one. Jiminy is an absolutely amazing album.

[@vagabondvalley]

This song definitely gave me super notes of Religious Trauma. It's made me make a whole playlist around that concept. Feels very vindicating, ty Bear Ghost 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@manuelsantos4586]

Do share the playlist 👀

[@sophiekuiper842]

Don't be shy, share the list🌚

[@daplague7282]

It didn't make me make a playlist (already have one) but I did immediately add it to the playlist when I heard it

[@spirit_001mobile8]

When I first listened to this song something in me just clicked. I like to think this is a song about blind following and is about someone who goes throughout life following someone else's path and ends up losing themselves and starts to ultimately question did I make the right decisions up to this point? Really reflecting on the decisions they made before they die. In a really beautiful way I think what this song is kinda trying to say is "losing yourself or losing your uniqueness is the same as dying." and the way that is being told is through the example of religion. Because what makes you, you is your uniqueness. Anyways that's at least my interpretation of the song. Loved this album and can't stop listening to it. Thank you Bear Ghost.

[@LMF1716]

Vulture has to be the song I've listened to the most on the album. You guys went for power and it delivers that and more, amazing work

[@altaweb]

Few song shake me to my core, in a good way. This is one of those songs. Fully listening to it for the first time felt like I was in another world. Absolutely impeccable.

[@thomaslong5872]

I've been listening to this song on repeat. The ending is a Profound Experience every time.

[@Hyroglitch1337]

This song is breathtaking taking in such a painful and beautiful way, it’s one of those rare songs that makes me completely forget everything in life and completely focus on the story of the song and the emotion of the vocals. And the outro is so beautifully uncertain leaving you with a feeling of wonder over what you had just listened to. Thank you for this album it’s meant so much to me since it came out, I can’t stop playing it. I’m so hyped for the future of bear ghost!! 👻🧸

[@ameknight8875]

Vulture has to be my favourite song of not just the entire album (close second to Sirens/Starkiller), but from both albums. I love the contrast of vulture from the rest of the album, and the way it just cohesively wraps things up from top down is absolutely incredible. The part that particularly gets me the most is the 'F**k your hallelujah', especially after that beautiful verse and building up from the repeating of 'watch them burn' while they're trying to proselytize the youth.... I'm not afraid to say that since the album has come out, Vulture has been the one song I'll listen to on repeat when I'm feeling that pressure to become something I'm not. Y'all did an incredible job with this album and welcomed us back into the folds of adventure. Thank you for staying truly weird on this ball we call our homes 💚🩷

[@amber7367]

please, please, please. hearing all these individual videos with each their instrumental parts made me want a whole instrumental album even more

[@UserStillLoading]

one of your best songs!

[@C_R105]

The way it ends. I have no words. Whenever my wife and I are in the car together i just gush over how good it is. It makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

[@groog]

the atmosphere of this song is soooo good

[@TheAdrestio]

This song has become one of my top favorites for multiple reasons. The message hitting close to my mind right now, the epic structure of this song, as well as it sounds so gosh darn beautiful in your delivery. I met the album cover artist and had such a great time talking about this album and song especially. I loved every bit of this album, thank you Bear Ghost.

[@thedarkness9038]

Awsome journey this has been i already cant wait for the next masterpiece made by you guys❤❤

[@Areelstarfish]

I love all the songs on this album but this one is the top for me. Even without the lyrics the instrumental stirs up so much emotion. Absolutely amazing!!

[@suitov]

It's SUCH a closer, my gods. The absolute rage, darkness, weariness. And every scorching word is well deserved by the kind of person this is about.

[@emmyjg3611]

I think you definitely achieved what you wanted with that song. It is one of my absolute favourites and tears me apart every time I hear it. It just sounds devastated and drowning. It is the perfect ending for the emotional roler coaster that this album puts you through.

[@p0g666]

I LOVE buttons drums on every single one of the songs! Would love to meet him one day!

[@bloodandcoffee7428]

I've just found out you guys have this channel and I genuinely want you to know how much of an inspiration your music has been to me. It started with necromancin dancin just being a bop but the more I listened to your songs the more they felt like they could describe heavy feelings I've felt for a long time. (Particularly this one and Sirens have touched my soul.) You guys are amazing and have helped at least me through some very tough times with a style I can only say confidently that I love. You've also been a major inspiration to pick up some instruments so thank you for that too. 👍

[@Onyrooliver]

Hearing Vulture for the first time, it grabbed me in a vice grip and held me uncomfortably against the chemistry lab table as i went insane. 10/10 band and song i want to eat your music.

[@BearGhost]

Bon Appetit!

[@BannockMeatball]

Hearing the outro on this video makes me wanna ask, are there plans to release an instrumental version of this album? It’s always interesting to hear music without vocals, at least to me. The Dotab instrumental comes to mind instantly, I do love that song with or without vocals, and I know a lot of songs on Jiminy in particular have a LOT of stuff going on, so it would definitely be interesting to hear instrumentals of those songs in full, instead of snippets of an instrumental on these breakdowns. Either way, loved this series, gives a lot of insight into the making of these songs, and I’ve loved learning about each of these songs! Thanks for doing this, love you guys

[@ZanadoRandel]

Absolutely wonderful way to end off the wild ride of an album that was Jiminy. I loved this album, with songs that I could relate too like Sirens, songs that made me laugh like Rivers and Peas and Love, and songs that hit hard like Vulture. It really is a great experience to listen too and one that I would recommend whole heartedly to anyone. Now to just sit back and wait for that next album release in 2030! for real though, keep up the good work and cant wait to see what you all come up with next

[@stormtroopergmz4097]

This entire album gave me chills all the way throughout. Amazing job! I can’t wait to listen to it again 100000 more times 😂❤️

[@buddingblossoms]

i found this album by chance on spotify tonight and the entire thing blew me away but this song was really something else. thank you for releasing such a work of art

[@zackramirez4445]

My favourite song off the album!!! The lyrics backed by the guitar, drums and bass are incredible. Usually I’m not into longer songs, but this gets me hooked from start to finish! Can’t wait to see what you guys do next!

[@gregstophetruther]

I LOVR THSI SONG YIPPEEE YIPPEE!!!!!!11!1!1!

[@latias272]

Absolutely loved this song by song breakdown series!! Love seeing how much is going into the release of this album. Keep on rockin' on!

[@pantherlilyMD]

Vulture was my favorite on the album. I've been waiting for this video. It strikes deep to the core. Thank you for making it and putting that feeling into something more tangible.

[@reggie8717]

This song was just such a standout on the playlist. I love mixing it with Nine Inch Nails because of the topics in the songs themselves. I remember when this album dropped on Spotify and I would listen to it over and over again. All of the songs on the album are so good but then Vulture- it’s a show stopping number. Every part of this song oozes with resentment, and such a subtle amount of anger. When this song comes on, I put my everything into singing along like it’s a performance. It’s a perfect track on an absolutely amazing album. If I wasn’t already watching Bearghost I would be looking out for them!

[@camsofficial]

Literally, Vulture and Sirens are my absolute favorites you guys have made. Absolutely incredible. I'm currently trying to make a better version of an animation I made to the song, Vulture

[@Thiccremoch162]

My absolute favorite song on the album, it’s honestly one of my favorite bear ghost songs out there in general!

[@SsquidfaceMusic]

My absolute favorite of the album. The key change and drop are amazing! It hits hard, and is possibly my favorite song period. Amazing work. 10/10

[@dylankauffmann6788]

this was already my favorite song on the album, but this video made me really appreciate the album cover artwork

[@rebekahmccann6429]

I've been looking forward to this breakdown!! All the songs on Jiminy were bangers but this one absolutely floored me!!

[@internetclown6816]

The whole album hit so close to home with its theming. Every song is special to me in its own way and it came out at the perfect time, while I was recovering from one of the hardest sequences of my life. I've said this to my friends, but while the whole album is great, Vulture is absolutely a masterpiece.

[@Souveraindelasauce]

It surprised me when I heard F-bombs drop twice, it really adds to the emotion. It’s one of my favorite songs

[@biscuitboi3561]

Is was really an unexpected favorite or the album, I usually like you guy best when you’re on that frantic pace most your music on but the slower rising almost anxious or watery (for a better lack of words) this one had was great especially leading after When I’m Dead’s goofier tones

[@Slade_Kelly]

Beautiful song ❤

[@sourcrossing]

we love you bear ghost

[@logancarter7595]

I've had this whole album on repeat pretty much since it came out. You guys really knocked it out of the park with this one! But these videos have made me really want an instrumental version of the album, any chance that will happen?

[@Davo_from_the_Pub]

Please release the instrumentals (and come to Australia) ❤‍🔥

[@madstergarden187]

I really felt this song as like a follow of a religion run by a evil priest see the man for who he is and the follower just lets loose in a chapel and just lets out all the frustrating things he was led to believe to be a lie as it was only to boost up only that one priest Beautiful song

[@usisys]

guys, this is amazing. I adore you♡︎

[@zendywho8178]

Can you guys go back and do a breakdown of past songs? Waiting to hear your guy's thinking behind songs was so thrilling to me, I really need more.

[@kai-from-hell]

My family is extremely religious but like... VERY VERY MUCH and that really didn't turn well on me so this song is not just relatable but also comforting and very liberating. I'm happy my mother doesn't understand a word of English lolol.

[@azaelcerino8096]

Well, finally context for this

[@bombasticmech359]

Prelude i found had too little lyrcis to really hit the mark, while it has a very similar atmospheric feeling it didnt have the story or structure to give the same feeling as vulture. But my god does Vulture do it well. When i first heard the finale of the song i felt decieved, while I myself havent grown up in a particularly religious background, the country i live in had a civil war that meant my parents would be checking for bombs, contantly scared, and move out of town. Because of this most people like myself who havent experienced it but heard about it live in fear of it, and this song had me worried all the way through, until the end. The main thing to me is the f- bomb at the end, for a mostly swear free album it made it feel just that more unique

[@opalthething]

I LOVE VULTURE!!!

[@Kamenriderdecade105]

But now I've an important question to ask. Why name the album, Jiminy?

[@BearGhost]

All the answers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_bgadtp82bnbM

[@maxdv4063]

To Andrew, hard disagree on how well Prelude ended up as it's on piece of music. It's probably the song on Blasterpiece that stuck with me the longest, especially the latter half when it's purely instrumental. It really fires up my imagination.

[@isaacdouglas7826]

I am trying to learn the Melody on the flute, mimicking the Lead singer and I don't think I've had this much trouble since learning Necromancin' Dancing on bass.

[@animaltears7069]

Is this a new song because I don’t think I’ve ever heard it before if it is cool, new song, that isn’t cool new song

[@sbs678]

there is a whole new album

[@eve3455]

Can't... Like... Video... It's at 666 likes, I sure won't be the one to ruin that.

[@eve3455]

Haha, some sucker, unliking the video so I can like it and keep it at 666. >:D Fabulous.
