Empire! Empire! (I was a Lonely Estate) - What had taken years to put together..

[@timmiller9812]

Still here every now and again in 2024. Hope you're all doing well. It gets better.

[@Barjeng]

That's a lie most ppl have to convince themselves to think. It ain't true everything we think is a lie made up of our subconscious desires. Life is shit

Its sad to think that these songs could be forgotten and never listened to again

[@fortinotafoya140]

We can't let that happen!

[@Freetofloat]

I just found them on an old twitter and I'm sitting here crying feeling nostalgic

[@lamborgini86]

it wont , im still listening and sharing

[@Figurebutgaming]

Just wanted to come back to say that one of my friends found this comment so maybe they won't be forgotten

[@doodlerose6291]

When I'll die, I want that everybody will know that Empire! Empire! was in my life.

I haven't heard this song in YEARS. It feels like magic to hear it again

[@midwesternjames]

lol nice username

[@PeterKasen]

Easily one of the best bands I have heard in some time. Beauty lies underground.

[@plazmikpond]

first time ever Listening to this band, and This is the first song I Know By them. found this On My recommendations, Thanks youtube. 10/14/2021

[@lamborgini86]

I found em in 2016

[@austinsimagination4722]

Im super upset these guys arent gonna be a band anymore. they got me into this whole genre.. hope to see them in chicago for their last shows..

[@notyoursavior78]

I just found out about that earlier in the week. It's sad that the band is ending. They got me into a bunch of new bands. It was great.

[@vincevaldez5647]

same

[@dumpsta-divrr365]

They're also a big part in what got me into this genre, have you found anything else similar to them?

[@katsudb325]

Depending on what you like from them, you could try Sunny Day Real Estate's album called Diary, that's a classic.

[@dumpsta-divrr365]

First emo album I listened to actually, didn't even know what emo was at the time. Btw given your profile pic, you ever go on emoe threads on /mu/?

[@bel.vermillion]

The guitarworks, the lyrics, the raw vocals, the emotional drumbeats. Wish today's music is like this.

[@IMangame]

Today's music is like this, somewhere, sometimes. Would you want all music to be like this?

[@desolatesoul2304]

The moment when you feel the verge of tears well up in your throat, eyes, and nose to make one sneeze.

[@peteg22397]

God, I wish this was longer. They could've made an 8 min anthem out of this. Just throw a few more lines in at the 6 min mark, nice chill outtro. It's so good but it just feels like it's over before it really gets going all the way.

[@tintanknowsbest]

Don't forget the human voice is an instrument in and of itself; the same way that instruments can't be played soullessly and generically, as can the voice. I'd argue that the voice can carry more emotion with it than all of the instruments in a track.

[@alyssawhitaker4271]

I love this comment, and I hope you are doing okay.

[@boombabyreggiemiller2642]

death is death is death, and no amount of prayer can change that

[@grant8347]

boombaby reggiemiller reminiscent of a blood brothers line, "deaths just death no matter how you dress it up".

[@Heitere_Sternennacht]

"What Had Taken Years To Put Together Was Destroyed In One Moment" A borrowed prayer died before it filled your lips Your grandfather was the one who taught you it To speak in troubled times, to carry you to port Now mechanical, it seems so meaningless And what do I think Death is death is death And no amount of prayer will change that And anyway, time is better spent on things you can change

[@Heitere_Sternennacht]

This time I am the random guy who posts the lyrics in the commentsection B) :D :( ur welcome

Aww, thank you so much!♡

[@devinh8948]

Heitere Sternennacht nice. I’m on a spree of commenting lyrics to ‘Hot Mulligan’ lyrics, so don’t trip.

[@parkmeadow]

[@JakeBabineauMusic]

music is nothing without instrumentals they evoke the real emotion and feeling you get from any music you'll listen to. learn to appreciate them fully and you'll find music can be ten times more enjoyable and fun to.

[@davidentendu]

You have to have respect for old emo music and a patient mind for this band

[@CanwllCorfe615]

Could easily be one of my favorite bands as of right... now.

[@humanvoid260]

Those drums give me chills

[@Jambalaya1337]

If Mineral and Street Smart Cyclist had a baby, this band would be that baby. And I would father that baby until it turned 18, and teach it to ride a bicycle without training wheels. But seriously, Empire! Empire! is fucking sick.

[@calmyoshiz]

Love this band. So awesome to be from the same state. Actually makes me have some pride in this place

[@bruisedbug]

This song is about when his grandma died. RIP

EEIWALE........are a timeless band, they have so many good songs and even alot of their not so good songs have got great bits. They broken up??? It truly is a shame they put together so many great pieces of music but really got zero credit for it, they should be a household name

[@whenwemeetonacloud7828]

Got any recommendations? You know pass the torch along

[@mxxicangirl]

@@whenwemeetonacloud7828 2 years late but the whole album what it takes to move forward is a masterpiece top to bottom, hightlights imo are “keep what you have built up here” and “an idea is a greater monument than a cathedral”

[@ICOLLECTBASEBALL]

Can anyone tell me what record this song is from??

[@alexmonro83]

or drone metal

[@benjadryl_7393]

It's not on one :(

[@ryanmazzei2041]

But thats the best part! This bands more of an instrumental band. If you're looking for something fast paced, listen to pop punk. or powerviolence. Emo isn't your thing bro.

[@ididnotknowthehalfof]

At least it's OVAR 9000

[@chkh9708]

There are all emo in this song.

how/where can i buy this album?

LOL

[@mariclarebraunsdorf]

@nothingfeelstgood Actually, no because many people listen to a song over and over and over. Like me. Around 20 of those views are from me.

[@betternowbesttomorrow]

And those four who thumbs down, listen to Miley Cyrus..

[@notyoursavior78]

Yeah 9k+ strong in a little over a year's time. That's good enough, just in general. Not that mainstream stuff is bad, people should also actually try and think with their own minds and find some good music.

[@kh7955]

if you think this sucks you must be deaf

[@HauntedHarmonics]

lul

[@ididnotknowthehalfof]

Yeah, mainstream isn't all bad. One Direction actually has meaningful lyrics not about sex and drugs and partying. I don't like their music or their fans but I do respect them.

[@kantina4765]

loki lastname ye it sounds like shit

[@magicmnms101]

I'm gonna be honest.. I don't really like this band. I think they take to long to get to the lyrics. On all the songs I've listened to they take a few minutes to get to the lyrics, and I get bored after about a minute.

[@makingsirensounds]

godspeeding it’s usually classic music you hear this with. Like classic metal/rock. It isn’t for everyone. This is for people who want to soak in the music and later on the vocals. I wish people would stop hating on them. Many popular bands and songs do this. Like Pink Floyd and stuff.

[@bel.vermillion]

It's simply because the instruments also sing. It comes with the feeling as if you can't find the perfect words and phrases until such time that you actually have some words to say which comes with that feeling until you just close your eyes and let the emotions wrap your heart and mind. I personally call this real music because the emotions aren't just dependent on the lyrics but also on the instruments as well. Anyhow, you're worthy to listen to this song. It's special and unique.
