Marianas Trench - Here's To The Zeros (Lyric Video)

[@L0chPlays]

Well apparently people are missing the point of this song as well. From my POV, this is a stab at record companies. Josh is actually singing about how crap music is now, and how the fans and his record company were pressuring him to write more. Another sarcastic brilliance. Good work, MT.

[@L0chPlays]

I have a feeling this entire album will be satirical.

[@MrsHarryPotter0308]

L0chPlays I hope not, it's been a while since they've released an album, and if this one is completely satire that will be a little disappointing.

[@L0chPlays]

MrsHarryPotter0308 Welp this is what happens when you rush a band - shrug -

[@MrsHarryPotter0308]

L0chPlays is it really rushed though? Ever After was released in 2011 :P

[@L0chPlays]

If you have writers block and are rushed into writing something, it'll turn out pretty crap.

[@LyokoGirl720]

In an interview, Josh described his motivation for writing this song: “I came up with the lyrical concept right after attending the Grammys for co-writing Call Me Maybe. I felt a ton of internal and external pressure to come up with something as big. I felt like the industry was pushing for everyone to be these clean-cut pop types with no edge. I knew I would never be able to be that, so I decided to write something that went the exact opposite way. I open the song talking about getting arrested for drugs in high school and go from there, embracing all of my downfalls and in fact celebrating them. Besides, all those downfalls led me to exactly where I am today. No one can live up to the perfect clean pop image, nor should they have to.”

[@RawrzDinoGoes]

Damn Ramsay*. I laughed when "top Call Me Maybe" it was a joke, he co-wrote it! Merry Christmas!

[@HPsPinkSunglasses]

According to him he wrote the entire thing. I don't know that's what he told my mom XD

[@taylorbrewing]

Carly came to him for help on a song that she wrote, josh saw the line "hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number so call me maybe" and scrapped the rest of the song and rewrote it with that as the chorus. So she wrote the catchy line but he made the suggestion to focus on it and then wrote the sonf

[@lonely.tea.drinker]

*Ramsay

[@xfallingskies0157]

It's Ramsay* :)

[@SoloRadioFM]

HPsPinkSunglasses No he cowrote it with Carly and produced it.

[@vivaproduction1]

I agree that it doesn't have the sound i'm used to from this band, but unlike a lot of 'generic' songs I find the lyrics to be clever not just catchy. I think that's one of the things I like most about this band.

[@pumpkinflip]

I actually think this is wonderful. it's very two sided; older fans can appreciate the references to the origin of their past sound (I.e. Josh's struggles this the heavier grunge sound of fix me), and newer fans can have some upbeat music that's funny and great to dance to. I'm happy that MT is exploring new sounds, and though some will always argue that they've "sold out", at least they are doing it in a satirical fashion that gives a big middle finger to the music industry. They've infiltrated the structure, guys. Get ready \m/

[@matthewedric]

"..High-ity..."

[@50shadesofway72]

and then his cute little giggle afterwords like he knows what we're thinking

[@matthewedric]

+50 Shades of Way hahahaha yeah. I forgot I put this comment here. XD

[@seaeable]

I thought for the longest time he said Heidi lol

[@Jyro099]

On the topic for lyrics, they actually messed it up. they say down and outs in the video, but the actual lyrics are down and ups. Random to reply to this 5 years later but it's cool

[@matthewedric]

@@Jyro099 Would be crazier if I replied after 5 years too

[@snowcake911]

I can see a theme forming... Love it though!! I memorized the lyrics before it even officially came out by listening to the acoustic version I found on KZbin, lol. If his starts playing on the radio... I'm sorry for the hearing damage I may cause to anyone around me.

[@morethanclumsy]

me too! I woke up at three in the morning cuz my phone buzzed and I'm like wtf? and the I saw the video and I was HOLY SHIT SAVE ME NOW. I sleep next to my cousin... ran into my room like a mad women... she got the notification too...

[@angelemcanderson8828]

I agree. They've made 2 albums of theatre-type music. Now they're releasing two parody-type singles. But I do miss the old MT

[@billthelegodude]

ah my sister causes hearing damage to my nabers when she sings once they came to my door asking if everything was okay cus it sounded like some one was dyeing and im like "sorry my sister is singing her dumb contory music and she sounds like a dyeing cow! is it bugging u?!"

[@morethanclumsy]

I think it's going to be a more pop theme. LIke they're going to make it mainly like the pop these days and how they're all so similar..

[@FenixDragon43]

***** Well both songs are mocking the pop music industry. Typical Josh sass but with a nice melody.

[@childmiddle]

Question: What the fuck is Mike gonna do when they play this live

[@Drawcandy]

Um... dance awkwardly?

[@xfallingskies0157]

He can sit awkwardly like Ian does when they do acoustic lololol

[@Maomowable]

I heard it live when they played it for the first time ever. It sounds a bit different live. Obviously.

[@daswarlarsh6488]

Play the fucking guitar... songs are played slightly different live...

[@GRRIMAWESOME126]

Cowbell?

[@roaritsresa]

Am I the only one who thinks this reminds them of raise your glass? Don't get me wrong I love my trench but I miss their old sound

[@StrengthLegacy]

It's because of the pre-chorus, the melody is similar, though I like how MT implements so many harmonies in it

[@itspengusan]

I was thinking the same thing!! I was like this sounds like one of Pink's songs xD

[@SoloRadioFM]

YES. It sounds like Call Me Maybe also. He's tryinhg to make a ssong as good as Call Me Maybe again.

[@sugarsims4547]

I agree. Favourite band but I do miss their old tunes

[@ericaroehl]

***** Actually he only Co - wrote Call Me Maybe

[@cloverthecuddlycactus1419]

I don't know what it is about this song in particular but it just gives me the good vibes in my soul

[@wrenhowerton7575]

I love old Marianas Trench. I love new Marianas Trench. I just love Marianas Trench. When I first listened to this it actually made me cry, not because it's extremely deep and sentimental, but because it's upbeat and makes me happy. I've always been bullied, always been a loser, always been a zero. This song reminds me that people like us can still be happy and just dance around to fun music. Thank you, MT! I love you!

[@torioreo8158]

They need and deserve more fans and success. The song is 4 years old and not even 2 Mil views. UNACCEPTABLE.

[@stephaniec9619]

I haven't listen to Marianas Trench in over 2 years, holy fuck this brings back so many memories of me crushing on Josh. XD

[@jaydenfilms9352]

Steph Manson lol is mine

[@Raven5927]

Stephanie C it never goes away. I saw him on pandora YEARS ago and I was like 🤩🤩🤩🥳🤩

[@wumpy0106]

@@Raven5927 bestie i didn’t listen to them during high school but i’m fucking back (this is my original comment) and still crushing on josh!!! i’m literally still obsessing over them and cannot wait to see them in concert one of these days. you’re right it never goes away😭😭😭 my pfp is literally josh

[@dodiestan1520]

I really like that they're toying around with new music styles. It's new and refreshing. And one the many reasons they're my favorite band, I feel like they can rock any type of music genre they put their minds too. Idk, I just love Marianas Trench so much.

[@howdyteppa32]

I love the fact he talks about serious things but puts it into a catchy tune (the beginning lyrics) and also puts funny things in it. There's not a song I don't like my MT. New or old, they're amazing

[@anniewiebe7647]

Their lyrics are so clever and honest haha can't get enough of their music!! :D

[@tayloryoung6846]

Marianas Trench is my favorite band. Their songs never fail me.

[@galeru]

To those who seemed to missed the point, both Pop 101 and this song (probably the whole album too) points out to Marianas Trench breaking up. They are REQUIRED to churn out these type of music as per their contract. I actually enjoyed Pop 101, this song more direct and less subtle. Sad that they are breaking up, but looking forward for Josh's solo works in the future.

[@ShakespeareanWannabe]

Loving this song! The Call Me Maybe joke is hysterical!

[@taylorstorry8529]

this song is honestly so good. Their old albums are amazing, and I feel like this one will be too.

[@jjamieallover]

There's nothing more disappointing to a band than seeing every fan saying "I miss their old stuff" because they're just trying to grow, like the rest of us. And yeah, this song is poppy and not punk but I think the point is that if this becomes a hit then you'll have everyone singing "Where'd the good go? This is where you're dead wrong" and, in my opinion, that's a reference to music nowadays. So a catchy tune where the Top 40 listeners are asking where the good music is? Ironic genius. Anyway, don't get disappointed before you hear the whole album. The first singles rarely ever represent an entire album because the hidden gems are just that: hidden. Have faith and enjoy some good dancing music in the meantime :)

[@insomniacslive]

It destroys my brain that people don't realize their songs like this and pop 101 are satirical. It's the point. It's a stab at the way the music industry treats those who create music. It's ironic, because these are the songs that make it on the radio. It's truly genius.

[@DittoAPokemon]

It makes me really proud of the Trenchers to look in the comments and see the ones saying they aren't to fond of the song still be positive and not like "OMG THIS IS DIFFERENT AND IT SUCKS!!!!111!!! GO BACK TO THE REAL MT!!!11!!!!" I love you guys.

[@stephster575]

Wow, this song is so great. This is the only pop music I can really enjoy. Despite their changes in genre over the years, Marianas Trench have always been and still are amazing. 💕

[@melissapapin1927]

Mad respect for people who still be listening to this song in 2021

[@cosmonty]

I get that everyone's talking about the sound and I get that people don't like change (Dont deny it, everyone gets like that lol) but my favourite thing about marianas trench has been their lyrics (especially lately). Maybe just watch without audio and read the lyrics. That's the main reason I like this song and so many of their other songs

[@julesb.1840]

A song about how pop music today sucks. So true it hurts. ☺

[@queergothroshi991]

But, it's an awesome song

[@julesb.1840]

+QueerGoth Roshi Agreed, but other pop songs suck.

[@queergothroshi991]

Julia Berglund​, Adam Lambert and Marianas trench are the only "pop" bands/artists I like

[@julesb.1840]

QueerGoth Roshi I like a few other but yeah.

[@queergothroshi991]

Julia Berglund​, Yeah, I'm not really into pop

[@juliapasta4798]

YES!!!! New Marianas Trench music! I have been waiting so long and i am not disappointed.

[@ji3519]

yup, this is my fav band. after listening to only EDM since 2008 i can still come back and know Marianas Trench still making amazing music

[@tearhyno642]

THE ONLY BETTER GIFT FROM MARIANAS TRENCH AT THIS POINT WOULD BE THE CD💖💖💖

[@JosiieBanjoBrnz]

To everyone complaining about their new style - I love it, just shows how flexible they can be! They rock at their sad, slow songs, their emo/punk/rock, and their new pop songs. Keep it up MT!

[@saramecoolsuper]

He repeats ''You're dead wrong" several times meaning that now everyone is complaining about new music but not all new music is crap because when newer music comes, then the new music now will be missed. I'm just saying new is different and not always worse than the old stuff. Y'all sound like really old people who don't like different music and want to stay ''true'' at the oldies

[@abigailwollam3463]

This released on the two year anniversary of my first suicide attempt; this is a band that has helped me through so much. Kind of wicked how relevant this is. Cheers x

[@TheKaceynicolelebrun]

I am a new fan here, and I honestly have listened to their past albums for weeks. If you haven't noticed their transition, refer to Ever After. Their style of music is portraying in the album. Aside from that, I have loved them a lot more, and I also love how they're hitting society with their lyrics. :)

[@rebekahpetty9997]

I love how he writes about his life like this. I love his music!!

[@sarahvalerie4307]

Everyone seems to be complaining about their "new sound", but I'm just here to say this song is pretty catchy. I really like it. ^^

[@mckennaslater2352]

Hands down best song ever to hear from you guys ...... love you Josh Ramsay 💘

[@frannysimina2685]

I hate that people expect them to write the same type of music over and over again. I think Josh made it pretty clear that he's not gonna do that. Every album they released it's different and I enjoy all of them the same way. Go guys! You're doing an awesome job.

[@MrFunkE101]

Can already hear the links with this and the last song. Such a great writer to be able to create an album that transitions between each song on the album.

[@Amypondeliac]

Yes an official studio version after hearing it live!! So excited for the album :)

[@HeartlessAndUndead]

Ahhh! Its so fucking perfect!! I died laughing at the Call Me Maybe part.. thats so Joshs sense of humor xD ( for those who dont know he co-wrote and produced CMM)

[@maisiehession-young5537]

Every chance I get I listen to this like twice then later again the same day, I loved stutter and especially desperate measures. But I will listen to any Marianas Trench songs XD

[@cat0028777]

So I just heard of Marianas Trench this year. The first song I heard was All to Myself when me and my friend where deciding what song to sing for our talent show. Since then I've fallen in love with this music and my best friend and I's song is All to Myself. ^.^ i can't say I'm disappointed.

[@bbygiirlnana]

I love me some Marianas Trench !!! Beyond happy for this song

[@Cazzyface]

I keep listening to it over and over and hoping to hear the sparkle the guys have always had! I really can't hear it in this new song and its such a shame, such a lot of potential with this song and I don't think they have maximised the effect this song could have. so much more could have been done to create a less generic sound. I still love them very much I just hope they haven't catered to the radio so much that they lose what makes their music so special!

[@xfallingskies0157]

It's supposed to sound like that... It sounds a lot better live.

[@candystand1089]

best christmas gift ever

[@insomniacslive]

If they want to make money, they have to make this kind of music. This isn't selling out, this is surviving. It's a style of music, it baffles me that people are so offended by stylistic change. They're not a huge band, they rely on the radio to grow further. If they just keep singing shaketramp it's not going to happen. I've been to multiple of their concerts where they are touring whatever album is new at the time and the majority of the music they sing is from Ever After or before. They like their old music too. That music will always exist, it really isn't a big deal.

[@lisasawatzky9722]

i loved this way more acoustic, but can't wait for the new album to come out!! Excited for the video as well.. Hoping it will be just as good as all the other videos they do! Love MT, Josh is so inspiring LOVE HIM!!

[@thegirlwholivedonprivetdri8500]

Its so good to hear this version, all the other ones i saw were at concerts early last month and were not very great quality. I have been waiting for this one for so long!

[@Jayderritchey]

It's hard to, and I think unfair to, question or criticize the direction of the band based on only two singles. I mean, obviously the album is going to be longer; 10, 12, 14 songs maybe, and that will give them lots of room to play with their sound and hopefully wow the fans. If the next couple singles come out sounding like this then we can start collectively being like, "Uh oh, this feels like a change in a direction I'm not too sure I'm pleased with," but until then I feel like maybe being concerned or worried is sort of jumping the gun. They've always had a poppy feel to them in all their work (except maybe for Fix Me), and Ever After felt extremely poppy to me, if incredibly theatrical, and many of us enjoyed that still. And even if the sound ends up changing, Josh's lyrics in these singles are still thoughtful and cheeky, which suggests that the rest of the album will also be as such, so not all is lost. If the quality of the lyrics start to decline, then we know there'll be a real issue.

[@soccergal1117]

Marianas Trench is life to me. .. but this is so different from their old stuff. I'm not one for change but I love them enough to give it time. Maybe I'll warm up to this. I think it's just that all their other songs were so deep and personal and so very relatable and this....well this is just catchy and that's it for me.

[@graceg33]

This is all I need for Christmas!!!!

I know that everyone is saying they miss the old MT sound but honestly, this made me kind of happy. Been with the band since right after Masterpiece Theatre so like, early 2010? And even though they've crazy evolved since Fix Me I still like their sound (but my taste has changed a lot too). I think that it's fun. And my personal opinion is that if you like their old stuff, listen to their old stuff too :) I haven't really been keeping up or up to date because when not much was being released I get a little preoccupied but I've missed them!

[@OutOfControlMusix]

Does none seem to notice the theme this album is taking? It's insulting what's popular on the radio ,and that you no longer need talent to be a musician . They're implementing their same style of music with what's popular and insulting it at the same time, and I love it! Bands need to grow and change because if they don't they simply fade look at avril , maroon five, taylor swift lmao TRAIN listen to drops of jupitaer and than my angel in blue jeans. If you can't detect the same style of humour and sarcasm with this band and call yourself a fan ,well that makes me sad :p

So very true! Its so awesome that they are back!

[@Laura103193]

I love it! It's not just making fun of pop music like Pop 101 (which is also great), it's a song for 'misfits' or people that don't quite 'have it all together' as Josh sings about how he was like that (and possibly still is) and it's about how pop music is all nice and clean and auto tuned and airbrushed 'cause that's what people want (I guess, or whatever) but he's saying that it's okay to be a little messed up and not have everything together. It's not just another fun, funny, catchy pop song to dance to, it has a nice message to it as well. :)
