MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA - |THE SILENCE | WOW!! 🔥 WHAT A MASTERPIECE 😳😳

[@henryrowan1889]

As good as this song is if you want an epic masterpiece check out Blackbird by Alter Bridge

[@MollyJ222]

Thank you for recommending Blackbird. So emotional listening to the lyrics but absolutely perfect. Someday I too will fly and find you again!

[@MidwestMotor]

I searched and listened to Alter Bridge and it doesn't compare to The Silence. Alter didn't have (as JayRuller) said the sadness just from the music in the beginning, the build up of the individual instruments, etc. Alter bridge just went into a hard-core guitar and screaming lyrics.

[@dylanbaker6589]

Andy Hull, the greatest songwriter of all time. His lyrics are untouchable.

[@bridgitmckee3041]

He moves my soul. I can't watch him without crying

[@basvandalen2093]

i'd raise you A Tuomas Holopainen

[@CoryBleichner]

Compare Telepath by Manchester to the song Take Me Back by Sarah Jarosz. She wrote her song first. It's the only time I said, come on Amdy you gotta do better than that.

[@Jikan04]

Saw him and Rob's acoustic show last year. For the first few songs I could honestly hardly move. His voice is just beautiful.​@bridgitmckee3041

[@BakerStreetShootout]

The entire album, Black Mile to the Surface, is a masterpiece from start to finish! These guys are able to pull emotions from you that you didn’t know you were feeling. Love the reaction!

[@WordUnheard]

I wish they had included I Know How To Speak on BMTTS, instead as a stand-alone single released several years afterwards. Andy has a line in The Maze that goes ♪ Give me some time, let me learn how to speak ♪ would have been set up I Know How To Speak perfectly. I agree that the album is a masterpiece.

[@thedukeparty]

100%. I genuinely think they’re the best band of the last 10 years, and black mile is one of the greatest albums of all time.

[@JMisSC08]

@@WordUnheard the standalone singles are arguably his best songs! I hate they’re not on the albums.

[@jwg0278]

i didn't know i needed Manchester until I heard Manchester ....... this band is my everyday jam

[@JayRuller_]

neither did I lol what an experience that was.

[@soundjunkiesarah]

There's no going back now that Andy Hull has worked his way into your soul!

[@WordUnheard]

I don't know where you live, but you should know they are currently touring as I type this. You should definitely see if they're coming to or near your city.

[@AnWoldy66]

After years of finding many songs to add to my ever growing favourite playlist, I think this song is probably one of the best if not THE best one I have ever heard. It’s beautifully haunting, atmospheric and the incredible music, overall mix of sound, and the way it builds is amazing and totally unforgettable.

[@TheFrugalMombot]

The whole album was pretty much about his struggles with God, family, and the fear he had of bringing a child into the world and his fears for his daughter. He talks about being kept awake at night growing up since a boy being afraid of what comes next and about the fear instilled by the church. Also, having been brought up Southern Baptist, I get all of this so much. Also the fear of family trauma and generational curses touching your precious child - that’s what gets me to tears every time I hear this. BTW, his dad and granddad were both preachers. I think he was also dealing with his dad’s illness at this time, but he didn’t die until a bit later. I can’t remember for sure on that latter bit.

[@JayRuller_]

Beautiful album all the way through

[@brentmmilner]

I'm not 100% sure about Andy's father, but Robert McDowell's father died after the release of Black Mile, and probably during the recording of Milion Masks of God. They had said that the album essentially became a type of eulogy to him.

[@dustinmartin22]

THIS IS OUR FREE BIRD... THIS IS OUR STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.... THIS IS ROCK PERFECTION!!!! YOU WANT MODERN MASTERPIECES OF MUSIC... THIS IS IT!

[@maureenwoodard9588]

I’m glad your on point precisely like I was too when I first heard this this is epic

[@bradshaw8630]

This song is a letter to his daughter.

[@skipmcilvaine]

I've been watching all of these, and this is the best one. 🥰

[@monicaash6369]

Makes me cry. Every. Time.

[@jki8006]

Appreciate the reaction. Beautiful and powerful song. The entire album is a masterpiece. I believe the song is about Andy's daughter.

[@InTheWasteland101]

Yes. It is first about his struggle with God and then his struggles with his daughter. Which I feel that.

[@shannonvetter7122]

Wow! Just WOW 😢😮

[@mayaccie2938]

I never get used to hearing this song, I'm always about to cry. Maybe one of the most beautiful song I ever heard. And your reaction is perfect, we can really feel your emotion. It is the closest I can get to hearing it for the first time again. The whole album is a masterpiece. You should really listen to it ! To me it is a stunning love declaration to his daughter, how she saved him, and how he hopes she wouldn't be hury by his tough family trauma

[@JayRuller_]

Such a beautiful song 🎧 I loved it the minute it started to play.

[@jjenn3573]

Music is the most open dialog..it translated our emotions into sound..this song really moved me..wow...the language they used was profound.

[@Jaglilpill75]

This band is fire!!! You should also hear, The alien, I know how to speak, Sunshine, Bedhead to mention a few ❤️❤️

[@TheStarbuck61]

Epic. Absolutely. One of my TOP TEN songs forever. MO is simply amazing, and they draw out so much in their music. Thanks for giving it a spin.

[@sampetry2454]

Listen to this song while looking in a mirror, reflecting on your own life’s troubles. Imagine just learning you are going to be a parent, are a new parent, or are just waking up to the fact that your parents and life affect your child (through you maybe?) it feels like they break that mirror after they say it’s only a reflection… It’s one of, if not the most powerful song I’ve ever listened to

[@ts8quintox]

Awesome reaction. Black Mile to the Surface is a GEM if an album. That word is used too much nowadays, but I highly encourage you to listen to it. It's one of my favorite albums of all time

At first It pressed against my heart, enveloped it and squeezed ever so gently. That squeeze soon turned into more of a throttle and released many tears and left me biting down on my lip to suppress my agony. But I like the squeeze so much I find myself coming back for more.

[@JayRuller_]

This one ☝️ is a powerhouse of emotional trauma and pain, but at the same time beautifully presented.

[@ZephyrPsalm]

I'm glad you felt what I felt when I first listened this band. Been hooked on them ever since! Another good song by them is called "Girl Harbor". Give it a listen!

[@Goingpostal1000]

I saw them live last night in Salt Lake City. Beyond amazing!

[@StephenRitter]

I was there! Great show

[@ghabwy9733]

It seems as though he is first addressing his sovereign consciousness and being born. "...you can go anywhere except where you already came from..." and then sounds as though he is singing to his daughter at the end. I appreciate "...let me open my eyes and be glad that I got THERE..." turns into "...let me open my eyes and be glad that I got HERE...". Seems he is addressing the suffering through his failures and his self awareness of the darkness that follows and his motivation to not have his daughter suffer the same. He seems to end it with a desire to be grateful for all of his sufferings because, maybe, it means that his daughter won't have to. I appreciate I am not the only 1 that has their emotions manipulated when listening to this song. 🤪 Appreciate your reaction. Thank you.

[@jamesarmitage615]

Lead singer, Hull, sys song was written as a prayer over newborn daughter. Awesome!

[@firsttimecallerlongtimelis836]

Amazing song/album/ band but “there is nothing you keep there is only your reflection “ is one of the best lines I’ve ever heard I knew of them for a long time but never really listened to them then last summer I was going to jimmy eat world and they were playing with them and I started listening by the time the concert came around I was more excited for them then jimmy eat world! They are in my top 10 all time favorite bands and can’t wait to see them live again in September!

Angel of death ,acoustic version also by Manchester Orchestra i put on par with The silence in respect to the lyrical performance and the weight of the words he sings, again both wrapped up neat with a clean melody. . I found these guys by accident. So under appreciated.

Do Atreyu “someone’s standing on my chest “

[@gombosmm]

First half is about god and faith, second half is about family and abuse… the song is so heartbreaking (for me), because it sounds like someone who lost hope. Someone who has fought, but has been utterly defeated, and now he has no hope left. To me that is depression in the purest form, to be without hope… on the other hand it also sounds like a person after a long emotional journey, after learning a lot. Abuse and deep wounds come to the surface when you have children, that is the second part i think…

[@paranormalsoulcircle3176]

I started listening to this song when my Baby went to heaven. My fiancee and I started to move apart from each other, and we both end up severely depressed. It was his dream to have a child of his own. He would see men teaching their toddlers to walk and spend time getting ice cream cones or coming back from the park. It really crushed him. I also would look at my belly with all of those stretch marks and extra weight gain that I can't shed and hate myself because God gave us a gift and the Devil stole it. I have a ruined body as a reminder of what I don't have to show for.. And the reminder that I forever hate holidays. This is the second time we lost a 👶 baby 😭 😔.

[@JayRuller_]

Really sorry to hear that, no one could understand that pain. You are truly amazing.

[@jimmccormack7507]

[@patricklyle4504]
