CIRCA SURVIVE - Child Of The Desert

[@hansolzy]

Holy hell. I've known about Circa for a few years now because I used to be a huge Saosin fan. I never really fully dove into their stuff because my virgin ears were not prepared and couldn't handle the experimental / progressive vibe from this band; my tastes were not fully developed, but I just found this album today and I feel like I'm finally appreciating this band for what it is. Personally, I really haven't enjoyed music like I have with this song and "Only The Sun" for quite some time. Now I feel like it's time to go back and listen to their previous work with a more open mind. I always knew this band was talented but really couldn't grasp their vibe. Anchoring down my socially conditioned tastes to enjoy this piece of art.

[@romitsen3405]

Dude please listen to On letting go, Juturna and Blue sky noise before coming here.

[@hansolzy]

Romit Sen Been doing that lately :)

[@NH-en6et]

Blue Sky is definitely my favorite album! Anthony Green and his crew are an amazing group of guys. And his family is perfect! :D He's a gem that should be cherished.

[@EkubaN]

I don't know if you smoke pot or not... I do not anymore myself.. but Juturna is one of those albums you really have to just be in a different state of mind to 100% appreciate. Highly suggest it.

[@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM]

Chris King HIGHly.

[@xSurfRyderx]

This might be one of the best circa survive songs ever!

[@StanOfGB]

Dardan Sadiku is*

[@romitsen3405]

Might be

[@VormedGuitar]

The lyrics of this song reminds me my unborn child, my girl lost him some days ago. A hard step to overcome.

[@tadpolez]

I remember when they played this live and Anthony asked us to stay completely still and listen to the music and then start dancing like crazy when he told us to, which was at 3:47. An amazing night I wish I could relive.

[@erenyeager3095]

Literally just got the safe camp symbol as a tattoo. Been with Circa since day one and never regretted it.

[@Xxjoseph1029xX]

Fucking lieing Weeaboo piece of shit.

[@erenyeager3095]

Joseph Sena how am I a weeboo if I'm already Japanese you racist fuck

[@erenyeager3095]

***** Nah

[@erenyeager3095]

Please refer to the country of origin that Attack on Titan is from and you shall know what Eren Yeager was created

[@erenyeager3095]

believe it or not I'm Japanese and Irish

[@codyforgette8776]

I FINALLY caught these guys live last night. Anthony is one of the most energetic front men I've ever seen. Incredible show. They opened with this

[@Gercksid]

I've always loved the artwork in all of their albums.

[@cammy649]

Damn right

[@BlackroseDN]

Been waiting for this song specifically, but I love the whole album. Thank you so much, Sumerian Records for putting up the whole album! Now I can listen to it until my copy gets here!

[@brosettastone7520]

those opening drums and that tremolo on the guitar oh myyyyy

[@kwilt]

i love when they write songs in 5/4

[@Ibanezkoolman]

What does 5/4 mean? I want to know.

[@blah347]

Anthony Fonseca They are refering to the off beat time signature as the basis of the song so instead of the 4/4 time signature. Where 4/4 completes a bar, the bar consists of an extra beat making it off beat but since they hold the beat through out that song it is off beat but it also isn't! :D

[@Gamebred-Nightmare]

Anthony Fonseca You count in fives. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 and repeat it. It is different because sually music is counting 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 aka 4/4 (feels most natural to humans).

[@jam3152]

Beefslap i get the 5 beats within a measure of 4 i suppose. I totally understand the 5 beats as far as counting, but why isn't it listed as 5/5.. but actually 5/4?

[@kwilt]

John Riddler From wikipedia: Simple time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that represents one beat (the beat unit). The upper numeral indicates how many such beats there are grouped together in a bar.

[@xXtoyhippieXx]

cant get over how good this sounds the buiding up and everything

[@emess7385]

I heard this song live and my mind was blown cuz it was perfect af!

[@DanTheMan293]

For all of you that don't know what drugs feel like, 3:47 is an accurate depiction of what its like when that shit FUCKING hits you.

[@yankees21232]

More raw than the sushi I ate for lunch

[@EMlIlANO]

*_Underrated_*

[@skaterman133]

the ending makes me move no matter where i am, i love you circa survive. never failed me yet boys!

[@squeakycrow89]

Ever since they posted this Ive been coming back everyday to listen to this song until I get my cd in the mail.

[@winterfrost99]

I have no words other than... My God this is just too good.

[@joerodriguez873]

I really enjoyed watching them live yesterday.

[@MrDeftones122755]

Badass built up and badass delivery way to go circa

[@championchristmas1]

There's a little to much build up in my opinions, but good still.

[@84Tmnt]

This album is soooo worth the wait

[@WolfyBoO]

Been so long since something as amazing as this masterpiece appeared.

[@emilyhoward5109]

it was awesome seeing them in san diego!!! cant wait to put up videos from my gopro hero4..

[@patrickhunter]

Still my favorite song on this amazing album.

[@mairymbusnego1344]

Circa always making my day

[@faptart]

I saw them live last night and they played this song and its so great

[@BonIvermectin]

Three bands that are incapable of putting out sub-par work, and in fact get better with age: 1. Dance Gavin Dance 2. MewithoutYou 3. Circa Survive / Anthony Green solo

[@bandulf6085]

my favourite from their latest album so far

[@williampatrick6073]

This band is life

[@HERO_Neos]

First time ever hearing these guys Awesome band and song

[@EakinE25]

Ready for my vinyl to come in!

[@mikehammar5254]

They played this live and the ending was so sick.

[@alexgraves2]

This is such a sick song!!! Love circa Survive best album since Juturna

[@MichaelBrown-bf7zr]

nesting in the thorn bush blowing in the breeze calculate the pattern that is causing my disease child of the desert, never had a name climax on the concept of eliminating pain

[@iStarlyTV]

Digging it so far!

[@lovemayxoxo]

Circa never disappoints ! 😊

[@ZackyDaley]

Circa is great. Esao Andrews always does their cover art he is so great at oil painting.

[@GiBBERSTiX]

I could listen to 3:46 on for days.

[@varkatzas666]

I love this sooong!!

[@mcdouches1]

saw this live in SF!! shit was soooo amazing

[@brandonmorningstar137]

CIRCA WILL NEVER LET U DOWN

[@winterfrost99]

They should have featured Spencer Chamberlain of Sleepwave and formerly of Underoath to break it down in the end with his signiture growls and have Anthony screaming on top, just something unsuspected.

[@16animerocks]

Jh

[@winterfrost99]

16animerocks ???

[@winterfrost99]

David Dobarganes Because Circa Survive does not usually have screamed vocals or breakdowns.

[@BAOUZIZI]

I'm really enjoying this whole album. first time hearing this band, what other past songs are good?

[@jam3152]

Just listen to Juturna from start to finish.. in a dark setting with your eyes closed and then follow that up with OLG

[@hiltoniousa]

saosin

[@soicancommentonvideo]

everyway

[@NoSoulToFind]

I'd say anything from Juturna, Everyway, Kicking Your Crosses Down, All Your Friends are Gone, Close your Eyes to See, Get out, Frozen Creek, Fever Dreams is a good start

[@rapidd9]

All of those suggestions are good. Definitely listen to Lazarus, probably one of their best ever. Stop the F-cking Car, Holding Someone's Hair Back, Brother Song, In the Morning and Amazing.. Honestly, if you have the time, listen to all the their albums, you will not regret it.

[@UnoFuego]

Stunning

[@saturAzione]

can't help, but in the end reminds me of the mars volta. how delightful is it?..

[@yudhistirashaylendra1820]

beuatiful drum scheme

[@Sebatman]

I love this song!!!!!!

[@Sammarroquin]

Heard this song love and it was amamzingg!!!

[@chuies1314]

Favorite song

[@DarkTemplar1502]

WOOOOOW!

[@yarelynunez9669]

Oh my god!! Amazing.

[@tristananvilcaster]

So good

[@Antics424]

real music! real fucking music!

[@irusu.]

*great*

[@billthesaint3]

oh, fuck the hell yes. oh hey, Steve Choi.

[@GETaYOTA]

What about the amazing steve choi?

[@GlassHearted10]

GETaYOTA he did some guitar work on nesting dolls if i read the album booklet correct

[@jam3152]

GlassHearted10 it was actually this song

[@GlassHearted10]

John Riddler I thought it was nesting dolls also? I guess not

[@championchristmas1]

GlassHearted10 "Additional Guitars on "Never Had a Name" By Steve Choi" "Additional Keys on "Nesting Dolls" By Joe Montone"

[@poltergystt]

YES

[@Uggsworth]

Why haven't they released this entire album on spotify yet?!?!??!

[@Wolfgnarz]

ur head will xpl0de @ 3:46

[@steve4880]

Saw them Monday in Chicago, such a killer show. It was a shame to see Anthony Green get so pissed off because dumb asses could not do one simple thing for him. All he wanted was everyone to remain still until 3:46 and then go nuts...but no, people still had to crowd surf and he was literally trying to hit them and told the staff to kick them out.

[@sard1ne660]

I let crowd surfers fall to the ground, and if I get kicked by them they get jabbed in the ribs. Selfish fucks.

[@theboyinallblack]

Sounds like a douchey thing to do to. 10 years ago that's all a Circa show was was crowd surfing.

[@steve4880]

theboyinallblack There was still plenty of that, crowd surfing was going on all night along with mosh pits at times. This was the last song before the encore and it was one simple request from Anthony Green. Heck, I even crowd surfed that night just because I've never done it before and it was awesome.

[@sard1ne660]

theboyinallblack Crowd surfing and hurting other people in the process seems like a douchey thing also.

[@VoiceoftheBoa2]

Sorry to hear that man. I know what you're talking about 'cause I went to their show in Silver Spring at the start of the tour and this song was one of the big highlights of the night; the whole crowd stood still, waiting patiently, then we all went fucking nuts. I was surprised 'cause I didn't think the moshers would control themselves (as your group sadly didn't) but it was kinda surreal to see.

[@dukeandecu82]

come back to the Norva!

[@brp5121]

Yes. Oh my God Yes.

[@th4t0n3g33k]

Fucking amazing!!

[@goldeneagle241]

anyone know the time signature? i know its 5/4 most of the way up until the "breakdown". can't figure it out.

[@amilliontimesaday]

goldeneagle241 my guess is 2/4

[@henrytorm4610]

+goldeneagle241 The time signature is changing. The first two measures are in 3/4, the third measure is in 2/4 and the last 2 measures are in 3/4 as well.

[@booda7665]

The whole song is 5/4 besides the breakdown at the end which is 7/4

[@Toadrew]

is this some sort of mars volta hybrid?

[@r3trofr3sh77]

Oh the wiggles

[@christianhitt1196]

4:23 sounds thrifty

[@fernandoradillo6071]

The closer to Hell or Abbadon the more you shouldn't hear me Ahlorned. : ] LittleVash ...

[@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM]

So listening to this on its own, it must be a listen-to-the-whole-thing-at-once kind of album...

[@stivender03]

It is a very great listen as a whole.

[@championchristmas1]

It's really good driving music. Especially if you're driving through the desert.

[@samanthavigueras2556]

Sombra if you can jus post somewhere traveler like 6 times anywhere i can see it i will take the atr and nmo

[@krisrehfuss5936]

wow the whole thing is in 5/8

[@Sammarroquin]

Live*

[@marcinemaweddingphotograph9149]

imagine people trying to get this tattoo. hahah the tattoo artist are going to get pissed. hahah some won't be qualified. lol

[@BeardedDubstep]

the art looks a lot like OLG

[@Civitify]

Bearded Rizz Probably because it is the same artist (Esao Andrews). He did all their album art.
