Hail The Sun "The Stranger in Our Pictures" (Official Music Video)

[@putridcrypt]

Hail the Sun has easily and quickly became my favorite band. I've never heard a bad song from them. Every song leaves my jaw on the floor.

[@ThePrinceHerb]

You should check out “Bad Luck” too

[@onyekachukwumukwumereije799]

@@ThePrinceHerb is it the same artist or someone different? Who is it? Is the band social distortion?

[@HollowedSunMusic]

Unbelievable song from an incredible band. I briefly spoke with Donovan in Newcastle about mental health and personal struggles. I told him about how HTS music really hits home and fills me with emotion. They're a great group of guys and incredible musicians.

[@alfiehaigh8412]

I was there too, what a gig!

[@lameosaurusrex9948]

Gosh I love hail the sun... like the band members seem like people u know and grow up with, they are so personable and relatable!

[@desacrificial_lamb934]

I was messaging Shane on Instagram and he likes my art and stuff..

[@alvindavisii9692]

As someone in the throws of an opiate addiction I relate all to well to this song. waking up already hating myself because I know the day entails of chasing safety in insanity. To abuse again just to feel normal and not sick, meanwhile judgement, scrutiny and general confusion from lack of understanding has already engulfed friends and family so alot of my time is spent hidden away from them... I know this part of me has to die sooner or later and its a tug of war but I have this band and its music to help me thru it all. if and when I come out the other side, clean and sober again, I want to see another show and thank you guys personally. For everything.

[@louisc.]

Alvin Davis same man

[@shaneshane8482]

you got this bro, i kicked that shit only as of this year. this music helped an incredible amount. wishing you well

[@patw9175]

You're better than that poison man.

[@ryancole5735]

You will make it out in your own time... I spent 5 years in the whole... in the end it was disaster that pulled me out, but I'm thankful for it because it brought me back to the real world... do yourself a favor bro.... find your way out before something forces you out.

[@DivineMind222]

Same man, been on Dilaudids for 5 yrs.

[@RaulD911]

These guys don’t stop producing good music, I swear.

[@davidgudiel7810]

Fucking hell yeah

[@croomkid04]

I love this band. They are one of my biggest inspirations as a drummer vocalist. I feel like I've reached my limits and then I'm inspired to go further with everything this band does. Big ups to the chill vibes in this one. "I wanna cut it out so I can see it." This tension is building. I feel it.

[@PeaceInPressure]

While maintaining their sporadic sound, Hail the Sun has found a way to give Donny’s narrative depth. The lyrics cut straight to the heart, and the music compliments-instead of competes with- the vocals. I love it

[@hxcmyles]

I want to cut it out so I can see it... My body went numb with chills. Amazing

[@kevinmitchel3655]

This year has been so good to me and the masterpiece of a band that is Hail The Sun has made a major contribution to that.

[@Jarmi777]

I fucking love everything this band releases. This song came at such a good time.

[@alonzor557]

Jarr Kun yes

[@kedoH56]

Catching some Circa Survive vibes with this jam.

[@tseawell90]

same

[@eddemirer4776]

I heard it for the first time today and seriously thought it was a Circa song. I was trying to google if Anthony Green had a new band lol

[@thomashendonandcompany]

It all leads back to a little band called sunny day real estate... Follow the post hardcore breadcrumb trail to the rising tide. Search for snibe, it will show u de wey

[@sams.9984]

Donovan has always singed like Anthony Green too

[@MyoticTesseract]

This video is absolutely beautiful too! God, HTS knows exactly how to tug the heartstrings.

[@ShakenFoe]

love the little wake reference in the video. lol

[@jdhuber1006]

ShakenFoe don't forget where they came from. I like this and all, but wake is hands down a masterpiece

[@jeffbell4434]

Ahh yeah I see it now. When he goes up thru the clouds and the ufo comes up with the things on the front cover in it.

[@juliarebeccah]

I'm so glad I've found your music, I wish you guys had been around a good ten years ago when this was the kind of stuff I was really into, and when I was hurting the most. Still it helps so much, and is helping to slowly heal that part of my inner child, too.

[@alonzor557]

juliarebeccah sending love and light your way, friend

[@grimeyteef446]

damn I just clicked on the wrong video but I don't regret it

[@grimoireee]

This song gives me literal chills. I love you guys so much.

[@magisterki3568]

Everything these guys sing males me freaking tear up man

[@FoiMal123]

The most underrated band ever.

[@Idekwigo]

So happy to see the continuous righteousness of this band. Been a fan for so long now, and they literally have not one bad song. Thanks guys. Mad love from Neptune

[@nathanielbalderas7667]

Hell yeah I know what you mean . Finding elephantitis on iTunes while randomly looking for dance gavin dance sound alikes. Been hooked ever since . Wake so far has been my favorite album by them but this album has got me very anxious , I'm already loving it as much as wake .

[@Idekwigo]

@@nathanielbalderas7667 I understand and respect your opinion, but nothing will ever surpass pow at least for me

[@nathanielbalderas7667]

No worries dude we still both love hail the sun at the end of the day . Yknow I haven't given pow an honest listen all the way through . "Dinosaur, god hates it when we think" was a favorite of mine though, the little guitar solo outro is great. Definitely need to give pow a spin .

[@Idekwigo]

@@nathanielbalderas7667 I really love wake though so don't get me wrong. I just have too many personal ties to pow that I will never look beneath. But definitely listen to pow. Each song sounds so under produced but that's the richness. Every song sounds refreshing and gold. Takes me back to the days when everything was okay

[@Cobalt985]

​@@nathanielbalderas7667 What do you think about New Age Filth? It is quite similar to Wake in some respects

[@erosthecrazed]

Gotta love that Wake reference in the video

[@desacrificial_lamb934]

It still hurts me when I think of my teenage years, being so distant from loving parents.. pills, alcohol, and other devices I used to try and destroy myself with, through it all, they loved me.. The words "I'm scared when you leave, that you might not walk back in that door" are like an unhealing wound ..I'm 24 now, I'm better and farther from who I was

[@StamkosHD]

Rex you killed this!! Might be my favorite HTS music video to date!

[@rosecarbonell9197]

StamkosHD hey, thanks! & same for sure

[@alliedarky]

The intro to this song is FUCKING GOOD. The whole song is good too.

[@estarossa4607]

The ending is the best om. I can sit and listen to it over and over.

[@wyioughta]

Im old, but this, makes me feel new. I thank my son for that. I now Hail the Sun.

[@ashleylamar3727]

You never fail to make me fall in love with you, all over again, every album ❤❤❤

[@damienshii]

Hail The Sun, man. They’re all doing such great things and this song honestly makes me cry when I hear it. So impactful. Can’t wait for Mental Knife. I hope to see them again soon.

[@EmoDaveAbrenica]

This album will be killer!

[@alonzor557]

Dave Abrenica :D

[@jasonguerrero5476]

This is so freaking pretty

[@xnekocakesx]

When I saw them live in St. Louis for warped tour my heart became filled. They are amazing. All of them. Every song.

[@5btn603]

FANTASTIC. EVR, please continue to promote this kind of music. The musical landscape right now is in serious need of more artists like these.

[@diocesesius88]

There’s had to be more songs that sounds like this. Absolutely amazing glad I lived long enough to listen to something like this. 🖤

[@tessasnap2923]

Always significant music...thank you

[@JayPlaidBatman]

Proud

[@WaveDZN]

I ache with every word, my soul yearns for someone I can't be near, or understand, The gap I'd have to fill too big, a true feeling of hopelessness.

[@kadesims1098]

Relax/Divide on his thumb at 2:05

[@chilacaataylor4122]

I noticed! It looks like a tattoo? I just wonder if he got it before or after that song came out?

[@kadesims1098]

chilacaa Taylor since it’s on the actors thumb I just thought it was part of the video on purpose.

[@senor-darkside5002]

This song hits so much harder looking back at it sober now. 😢

[@defaultplayz2726]

Hail the sun, literally

[@captperez2020]

Another Banger

[@rihannsuo]

What an incredible track.

[@alonzor557]

[@bubbiewubbiee]

[@lillian5634]

This is the best song ever

[@piperfournier5477]

This is gorgeous!! I’m a new fan and I think I’ve found my favorite song by these guys now

[@NuclearSodomy]

pure brilliance

[@niros9667]

Can we just pay some respect to the guys who put this video together, great work! Can't imagine what it must have been like to cut all those images out and get it flowing properly! Great video and great track.

[@sirreal2741]

This has my heart

[@therosefam28]

Keep the music coming , personally you guys are my favourite band Every song , every album , awesome ☺

[@anthonyk0420]

God damn Rex did an amazing job on this

[@ashmartin7686]

HTS never disappoints. Always 👍👌🔥

[@ramoncarrillo3851]

Oh my god!! Every single so far is so good I couldn’t be more excited to get this album. Wow! ❤️

[@brandonfairman59]

This song is so damn good, and the meaning behind it is so much deeper than some think.

[@cheyjackson909]

I love this song soo so much probably one of the best ever. Thank you

[@marcusallen2543]

Glad I stumbled upon this song! Love it.

[@TheNightdiver]

QUALITY.

[@IMBIGTBLEED12]

I can’t stop listening to this song

[@TheJakester117]

After dealing with Addiction and Mental illness this song hits hard.

[@talimlove]

OMG ANOTHER NEW ONE yall keep my heart pumping

[@ericanderson4151]

Love it too much!

[@jaketlow]

Absolutely awesome work, you guys.

[@KingXSR]

next month i cant waiiit

[@alonzor557]

What a track. Thank you, Hail the Sun. 🙌🏼

[@TheFool_0]

Man these guys rock. Love the flow of this song so much

[@thomashendonandcompany]

Ive probably listened to this 30 times in 24 hrs. Brilliant song in every way. Im an old circa survive fan and I feel the same way about hail the sun now as I did when I first heard circa in 05. This song sold me on them a few days ago and I cant stop listening. I guess bc its so relatable. Also since You guys are into this type of music, check out the albums "Crest" by Visitors and "Dead wait" by Gloe. Those bands have the same vocalist and he is up there with Anthony green and Donovan in terms of vocal genius and captivating lyrics/music. I know some of you would fall in love with those records and they can speak to you like they do to me. Both bands broke up but full albums are on YT and bandcamp. Anyway glad I found HTS, looking forward to diving into their discography. Anyone have a favorite song that I should check out?

[@mike0near]

Why I love you so much guys.. This voice is incredible and the instruments 🖤❤️😯😁🤙

[@jaredkeyes3526]

My FAVORITE BAND!

[@austonbus1452]

What an incredible video

[@asianflavor]

This is actually one of the coolest music videos I've ever seen also it makes more sense when you see this video

[@safecampdee]

Issa bop

[@alternativemusicmagazine5745]

PERFECT SONG

[@AvidDreams]

I needed this.

[@bballfreak210]

Love how they are consistently killing it❤️

[@Violet-tm8co]

Beautiful, as always.

[@DailyScratcher]

Oh my fucking god the circa survive feel is so real

[@VictoriousSponge]

Yes lads!

[@deityoftoxin]

Amazing

[@Night4Watch23]

this was beautiful. great job y'all!

[@marcosisnothere]

Saw them live last night and the opened with this song, it's just so freaking good !!

[@ivoryalvarado9943]

We love creative queens😘❤❤

[@damonbaird1173]

I definitely love the first two songs released for this album, but i didn’t feel as drawn to them with emotion and connection as i was with songs from culture scars. This song is what i was expecting, hopefully the rest of the album brings this quality throughout.

[@therosefam28]

This song is different but accurate really enjoy this song, again my favourite band for the last 5 years or more have been these guys live all there songs haven't come across such a real and authentic back the best in my opinion and more people need to be aware of how awesome they are, keep doing what ya doing means a lot to more people than you guys think, trust,🤓

[@SzekeraDaHustla]

I love you guys.

[@Antlion161]

Chills

[@simonluna466]

Fuckin Rex is a wizard with his music videos man, amazing work

[@davey2900]

BROSKI SICK MASKING

[@ditoutomo6321]

Awesome vid!

[@Thugrobb1991]

I bet a bunch of people can relate to this song!

[@dmitrikrosikio2684]

og hts fans recognize the references in the video to other hts stuff, and also recognize that michael-rex is a fucking artistic genius

[@Carlosisafool0908]

Reminds me of Anthony green, love this band !

[@Czhristofer]

holy shit, incredible music video

[@korhanalparslan8730]

Kinda glad I said pause to that Hail The Sun tattoo

[@bozeiky]

2:58 Definitely sounds most like circa. This dude was so cool when I met him at a show in portland playing with circa.

[@haydenmcwhorter8106]

Love hes voice . Thought it was the guy from circa survive at first lol

[@DailyScratcher]

The guy you mean is Anthony Green and he is the fucking god of this type of rock.

[@woofmeow4273]

Hail the 42°. Over the rainbow boys, stay green.

[@suicidalgrooves1130]

Nice!!

[@amiruladli1506]

i have never watched the music video despite jamming the album when it first came out. i always thought this song is about some stalker, cos it goes with the theme of horror and real life. However, its actually him saying that in the photographs he sees, he dont recognise himself because he was the opposite of sober in those pics. he was a diff person altogether.

[@vladislava8351]

Don’t know what the song is originally about but as someone with depression struggles for many years now, this song just feels familiar

[@edge4266]

It's about the singer's opiate addiction, he delt with it through high school, this song is about seeing pictures of himself from that time and not recognising himself

[@dawsonjosiahwilliams]

Surreal sobriety experience. Went through hell and now I'm back to myself.

[@ilham1908]

Sounds like circa survive old album

[@EduardoAlvarez-gs3uy]

Agreed, has a very Juturna vibe to it. Hail Survive lol

[@brookhaven86]

5 seconds in I thought I had clicked on a circa video. Lol

[@sirreal2741]

Is it Anthony Green singing ?

[@ditoutomo6321]

No, Donovan Melero is Donovan Melero. Not Anthony

[@joshmonty3095]

They must have been influenced by circa's sound

[@jeffbell4434]

Hail hail the sun! This new album is fantastic. I'm thinking about getting their symbol tattooed on my forehead. No lie.

[@hotlunch50]

This song could be in a circa survive cd. And that's a great thing
