Counterparts (Session #2) - "Stranger" Live at Little Elephant (2/3)

[@Masterlocster69]

I like this entire song I've heard it a thousand times but 1:50-2:28 is always my favorite part of the song

[@MelElPuente]

@@nauryaslam9997 sounds like a really fast maybe slap back delay along with a touch of reverb

[@drewcooney7314]

Sick! One of the best albums of 2015

[@ThePandaonslaught]

+Drew Cooney Alot of great music came out this year, and I think this is my number one!

[@eliezertorres7001]

+Constant Plight How was ABR's new album a let down?

[@MCBLAST3R]

+Constant Plight I agree, but it's still my joint favourite album with this one of last year ( I do love this album but I wish it was longer as I can listen to in multiple times in one drive ) :p

[@tylermarks15]

This is my favourite song ever in the world honestly

[@RadeCzech182]

This is total blast. TWFU is album of the year hands down.

[@tonynurrahman3467]

TWFU: album of my entire life

[@tmanbravo]

I can't believe this came out a year ago already!!! I remember when this banger session came out!! Fuck yeah counterparts for life, about to see them for the 3rd time in April!!!

[@curtm5734]

Chills every time I hear the breakdown at the end

[@rosehearts4337]

their sounds are great!

[@AllTimeZero]

Been waiting ages for this!! Again, you've done a fantastic job Little Elephant :)

[@Littleelephantlive]

+Callum Ward Thank you :)

[@arthurkorous3967]

Finally! Been waiting for this!

[@sadvibesforever3369]

Hoping they play solace. It's one of my favorites on the album. Or Resonate. Thanks so much Little Elephant ! What you do is wonderful !

[@Littleelephantlive]

+Devin Bruh Thank YOU for the support :)

[@sadvibesforever3369]

+Little Elephant anytime! keep up the good work!

[@07cosmo1]

Still trying to learn this song by ear and it's so hard to get it correct ugh

[@Deadatbirth619]

Eric Sawada learned it yet?

[@maxchuba9859]

Finally! Been waiting for this ♡

[@AanFardians]

Counterparts - Stranger Your ghost holds me close As I'm ravaged by the solitary that surrounds my former home Use me until you've spent the rest of my remains And then try to validate your actions Cursing every empty vein That used to be inhabited by your impression Paralyze me To ensure I have no chance of knowing the feeling of affection It's no secret that I've shed the common decency That appoints the world with the burden of devotion to our kin I gave you everything I had and the world has left me exhausted So make me feel something Anything that might change my mind As worthless as I am, I know that I still serve a purpose To leech off the light and absolve my insignificance Lay me to rest Lay me to rest inside of a glass casket So you can remember me with a smile on my face Adorning me in my own failures So you can count them as you stand above my bones I wish I were a better man I am a coward masked in courage And just admitting this will not save me this time So free me from my tired mind And let me learn the difference Between a single tear and the runoff of an ocean Weak and weary from my predatory nature So bless me with abandonment in my greatest time of need Let me carry on knowing that I could never truly face my reflection It's much easier to caress the broken glass (broken glass) Though if I accidentally catch a glimpse of myself in the shards I will put my faith in the shrapnel to correct my vision I am a stranger when I stare into the eyes of those I love Look away in disgust Protect yourself from the sight of my deception I am a stranger when I stare into the eyes of those I love Look away in disgust Protect yourself from the sight of my deception

[@carlosespinoza9408]

The bass tone has me FUUCKED up.

[@JSB1729]

You're absolutely right. It's not just the tone it's how he plays too. Bass players are underappreciated even though they control the entire band's sound.

[@Brendan0a]

so sick

[@ChrisMusickx]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@crabPEOPLE2000]

chug chug chug choochoo

[@carlosespinoza9408]

Someone please help me figure out what pedals the bassist uses. pls I will luv u

[@jmanitowabi]

Carlos Espinoza late reply but it’s a sansamp getting that tone.

[@raiiescobar1273]

I hope the played resonate or drown or solace. Choke is sic, but I'd like to see that played on little elephant. That would go hard

[@ChrisMusickx]

+Raii Escobar They don't play Resonate or Drown live.. It's probably gonna be Choke or Collapse

[@bbabaas]

LAY ME TO REEEEST!!

[@playernameistoolong]

fuck this was 2 years ago

[@AaronSmithDrums]

Such an incredible group of musicians man. Are these the only two they did or will there be more uploaded from this sesh?

[@georgefinnigan730]

can any one tell me what kind of telly that is ???

[@stevendahmer7680]

George Finnigan its a ltd te

[@ChrisMusickx]

3:23 = Eargasm

[@sadvibesforever3369]

+chrisMusick My eargasm lasted through the whole song ;o;

[@VendettaForTwoBand]

Holy crap. I thought that part was just a dive and didn't realize they keep it downtuned for a bit then come back up. It was nasty and I loved it.

[@wah666]

+Nicholas Andrianas i thought the same, so dope

[@johnchristophermalaluan8250]

chrisMusick up

[@Doyourememberlove]

why aren't these guys playing "tragedy"?

[@sidneycansse1860]

What cymbals is he using?

[@rizkyouth199x2]

2:58

[@scrimblomale3306]

They definitely had to slow the song down so Brendan could get that second "I am a stranger" line down at 3:16. You don't hear any breaths in between lines in the studio recording; you can hear him take like 4 breaths here.

[@EthanBackToLifeMETAL]

Are both of their guitarists new?

[@ChrisMusickx]

+EthanBackToLifeMETAL Nope, Jesse (black guitar) has been there from the start and Adrian since 2013

[@trbells7196]

yes true jesse is best guitarst for me.

[@padarg]

not a huge fan of the guitar tone in this setting... or possibly the bass. the vocals and drums are mixed really well though.

[@MidwestMillennial]

PLEASE HIGH PASS THE GUITARS NEXT TIME!

[@Littleelephantlive]

+IDeal Production Company Always do

[@MidwestMillennial]

+Little Elephant Hmm. Something just sounded a little off. Still a killer video.

[@SamS5402]

I don't know if it's just a concentration face or what, but does it seem that Brian always looks like he absolutely fucking hates what he's doing?

[@18bovende]

Why is his screaming timing so off? Imagine if the guitars would play different then on the record..

[@nomeru_0]

18bovende because he doesn't know how to control his breathing. He also has asthma which could he contributing to that
