Marianas Trench - Lightning and Thunder (Official Music Video)

[@reaganfry9415]

This band may never understand what they mean to me, but to each of you who understand what it feels like to have music understand you in a way no one ever has… never give up, there are better days along the horizon. You are loved.

[@EvermoreTheNightmare]

I couldn't have said this better myself ❤

[@dustybees6308]

I’ll be right beside you!

[@mirandapanda39]

They know. They really do. This long being a band, conjuring fans... messages, comments. There's 4 to see all. ❤️ they'll always be my comfort band when I go into a panic attack/super anxious moments.

[@5_nightfury]

What a beautiful sentiment. I feel this way too.

[@amandafonstad3697]

I could not have said it better myself. This band has gotten me through some dark points in my life, and I will never forget that. ❤

[@iluvJoshMT4ever]

This is like a love letter to all the fans that have been around for a long time, I remember when a lot of the flashbacks were happening in my life, all the feelings came up. And for the new fans, buckle up, and enjoy the ride. I love you guys ❤

[@Jilly_Neutron]

How dare you hit me with such nostalgia at this hour

[@susannetaylor9914]

OMG right? ♥️😳🥺😁

[@meredithjoy7551]

Been a fan for 15 years, and the nostalgia from the clips was unreal. I'm still blown away with every new single 🩷

[@rachelwithaface]

15 years for me also!! Cross My Heart changed my life ❤️🙌🏼

[@KalynnWise2012]

New album, new era, new hairstyle. I love that every album is a different era and none of them sound alike at all.

[@RetroKingOG]

That’s why they’ve lost 80% of their fanbase 😂

[@shann_rosea]

​​​@@RetroKingOG But it's also why they've gained new fans as well! I've been a fan throughout, since Fix Me. Some do stay, some go, but that's okay. They still have a big enough fanbase, as well as some loyal long time fans. 😊

[@justinekobes3757]

This is all the more reason why I love them. I'd be happy if they kept the same style for each album but it makes me cherish each album that much more! Every album is like a whole new story. I love hearing any new song or album, it is like stepping into a new world.

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

​@@RetroKingOGImagine going to see them live because you like a specific album. They may or maybe play one or two songs you like spaced out throughout the show

[@brettjohnson4321]

I was a fan at the beginning and then they had a pop emo phase and I was out. This is just pop emo light. I wouldn't say this sounds drastically different from their other music.

[@e.c.sherman4749]

MT helped me get through one of the most difficult times of my life. To every one of you, both the band members and the fans, y'all are incredible, and y'all are loved!

[@dustybees6308]

I’ll be right beside you!

[@angelahiggins715]

Me too (breast cancer). They will never know how much they helped ❤

[@HWTMPH]

I've been listening to MT since I was 13... I'm now 31. I think I'll always come back to their songs.

[@shanec3610]

Same 🥹😭

[@thislifeinireland]

Same timeline 🥹❤️

[@Foobymaster1]

I think I was 15, also now 31

[@hardyzangel]

Did anyone else just feel nostalgic/sentimental/healed all at once?

[@jessdashae857]

I don't think these guys will ever understand how much joy this brought to my heart. I have survived through addiction, life altering events and mental illness. The last time I felt normal was the days when I was obsessed with this band. I was the ultimate 13 year old fan girl and it is still some of the best memories I have. Being able to go back to those moments today was more than I could ever ask for from an artist. Genuinely thank you ❤

[@strikepark]

Amen .. MT are natural healers ❤

[@leslieshand4509]

What beautiful words.

[@alymonet2582]

wow. the flashbacks. i would sit in my room for hours watching every single music video and the behind the scenes of it all. what an era. ❤️ can’t wait to step into the next one.

[@ash.overthinking]

It's unbelievable how much this MV made an already meaningful song exponentially more. So heartened to be in this new era (and to go to my first show this year!) 💙💙

[@SharadaDreamer]

Omg your gonna love it!!! It's so fun!! Josh may even dance in the crowd!!! Haha!

[@patricestewart8516]

I just discovered MT & am totally enthralled 😃 Josh Ramsay: what a personality, voice, & range!! I'm 67 & MT's sound brings back my 80's dancing days: George Michael, Prince newly burst upon the scene, Madonna, The Alarm, The Fixx (yes, an acquired taste!), Dire Straits, Simple Minds, etc. Such great music & energy! Josh is very special: versatile, everchanging, funny, dramatic, & outsize talented. I knew from an early age that I didn't want kids (in this lifetime!) but have wondered what my baby might look like, his or her future, talents, & challenges. I saw this video then read Josh's quote about learning they were going to have their first child, & got absolute chills ~ his joy & excitement come over SO clearly in this song!! Most of all, he just seems so damn nice & HAPPY, infectious with it, exuberant & opening his arms wide to the WORLD & Universe!! 💖💢💢💥 This song actually makes me wonder if I should have had children, which I've always been adamant about, but oh, all his emotions, positive vibes, & sense of wonder!! Josh, I wish you & your lady all the best always. Whatever happens in your child's life, he or she will be very special too, & -- I believe -- destined for great things. HAPPINESS & JOY to you all!!! With MUCH love & connection from this new fan 💟🥰🤩🧚‍♂🦋🌏🌚🌚🌚💛💚💖💖

[@angelique_tkmk]

You made my day and I'm soooo glad you're back with a new album and a new era to follow 😭💗Seeing all these nostalgic clips made me think : please never ever forget how much your music has influenced people around the world through all these years !! We don't all have the chance to see you as often as we would like to show us our support because most of us lives in countries you rarely tour in, but your lyrics, instrumentals and the messages of hope, kindness, resilience, healing you're sharing as a band have saved more than one of us. Your songs are the background tracks of very important moments in our lives, you've had so much more impact you can imagine !! Can't wait to see how much lucky people are going to discover you with this era. Thank you for still being here after all these years, with the same amazing members, and never failing to give us exceptional tracks 💕Hope to see you back in France someday !

[@beeblegoose2606]

I found Marianas Trench about 10 years ago and have been a die hard fan ever since. Seeing all these clips together brought me to tears. Thank you for making such amazing music that has consistently been the soundtrack to so much of my life.

[@WhamBamTySam]

Oh man, the memories. MT's songs are interwoven all throughout my memories of the different eras of my life. Thank you for your art, we've enjoyed it all.

[@AmyKatherine914]

I cant believe I've been a fan for 18 years. It feels like just yesterday I heard them on the radio for the very first time. They've been with me through so much. Losing friends, losing my godfather, my friend battling and sieving her breast cancer, graduations, therapy, gaining new lifelong friends, my brother's surgery, my niece being born. My marriage. They've been my Everlasting Companion through my whole life. I can't wait for more to come ❤

[@jenniferthompson1247]

Am I the only one screaming “Don’t let this be the last album!” 😭 my son and I have been fans from day one. We need MT more the. Ever

[@BethGirma]

I first became a fan of Marianas Trench just as I was entering high school. I am now five years into my career after graduating from college. This band has been with me through every stage of my life. I felt I grew and matured along with these four men and the rest of the fan base. They have shaped my taste in music and will forever be my #1 band!

[@JasmineDragonGreenTea]

Oh man I wasn't prepared for all of this nostalgia! This video gives so much more meaning to a song that already felt so meaningful. Love it! Can't wait to see you in concert again in a few months!

[@Alexscofi]

This is one of those bands that is like a masterclass in how to age gloriously... Still look good, their message has matured and almost been fine tuned and their music is still phenomenal.

[@blueberryadept6519]

Damn, this song feels like a ode to all the years they’ve had together before the dreaded “indefinite hiatus”.

[@pinkysworn]

It really does, which makes the “this is only just beginning” lyric feel really ironic. I didn’t feel it as much with the song before the video, but after watching this, I’m like, “Damn, is this going to be our goodbye album?”

[@KenHarusame]

How can be the first time I listen to a music and it gives me nostalgia?

[@tiredtasha139]

The fact that I’ve seen all the throwback clips. Man this is a time capsule

[@legzfalloffgirl5148]

I remember finding your MySpace page in 2005ish. When I saw Mtrench was Canadian I thought "nooooooooo, they'll break up soon!"😅 I'm glad I was wrong

[@mellie4524]

Never a bad song by you guys 🥹❤️👏🏻 proud to be Canadian! Thanks for the hit of nostalgia, but in the best ways ! We love you guys!!!

[@karengieseking1437]

So I think when I retire, I want to travel around going to Marianas Trench concerts. #retirement goals

[@someoneunnamed2675]

I'm literally in tears, thank you for this lookback through the years, thank you for being a band so many love, thank you for being rhe rock so many needed at certain points in their lives.

[@JamesOKeefe-US]

Most underrated band of all time. Love you all from your NC Trenchers in the US!

[@oliviamerrart]

are you going to the NC show? I am!!

[@JamesOKeefe-US]

@@oliviamerrart Yes! The Underground in Charlotte! Saw them there and in Raleigh last time around can't frickin wait :)

[@ChaiElemental]

I wasn't a big fan of this song when it dropped, but it's really growing on me. Josh Ramsay is a brilliant songwriter.

[@misfitforever15]

Growing up in Vancouver going to their concerts were a huge part of my teenage years. Love this so much 💕

[@vibrantflame]

This was so nostalgic and somehow heartwarming...I almost shed a tear! It's been over 10 years now since I randomly found your "Beside You" video on KZbin and fell in love with your music. Can't wait to see you all on the new tour!

[@spiraljoe1273]

What a great find!!!! It sound so 80's - very "Outfield" ish. I love it.

[@Theepicninja22]

This band has saved my life more than once, I never thought I would see you guys live but I have tickets for right after my birthday. Cant wait to be crying in the pit

[@t0tally.n0t.m0thman]

This band shaped so many Canadian kids in ways they will never know. This new era is going to be amazing

[@cassandranuthall4845]

Please come back to Australia! You'll sell out here again and I'll be able to witness the greatness that MT are once more!

[@emilylarman2195]

I have zero words to describe how I feel after watching this. Just... amazing. Love you guys

[@carriepadgett2743]

I just stumbled onto this while going down the youtube rabbit hole...I LOVE IT!

[@AJ-xj4pw]

My fav band. Saw them years ago in Lancaster PA. Amazing show and VIP access. My only concert i ever went to. And I had no bad memories

[@jessicasparks7154]

The throwback videos are EVERYTHING. Absolutely makes this video.

[@karensylvestre4763]

I have loved this band since they started when I was 13 I am now turning 28 this year and they have been a big part of my life you guys are awesome ❤

[@dakotaloven1362]

I remember when most of these songs game out I saw them in Holland Park in canada during the winter Olympics in Vancouver it was magical

[@emilydale200]

This makes me cry so much. I remember being a teenager and how I felt during each era. I've come so far. My schizophrenia is managed, I'm happily married, and we've built a whole life together. I finally have reached the "it gets better" part of my journey.

[@Justcallmestyles]

MT will forever be my favorite band, I remember the first time I listened to them during their fix me era and was instantly in love. Through the goofy videos and cry my eyes out songs, they have brought myself and others songs that speak to our souls. Cannot wait to see them live ❤ so happy for this comeback

[@honeystarsmono503]

BEAUTIFUL SONG! 💜✨ Missed Josh's powerful vocals in my life. Thanks for this banger!

[@joshnicholls4668]

Brilliant singer, brilliant band, brilliant song❤

[@moistpits6188]

Having known this band for years...this song brought me to tears.

[@mxedits7023]

been a massive fan of you guys since i was 9 or 10 during the masterpiece theatre era and i can cross-reference the different eras with different stages of my life, all the way up to me now being 24. so grateful for the memories and the music that has comforted me through it all. super excited to finally see you live for the first time in november

[@JeniferHxC]

The old clips of you guys in this video is just amazing. I love this so much and I am reminded of the days when Fix Me first came out. I’m so proud of you guys! I got to watch you grow into the band you are today, and I grew with you. I love you guys so freaking much your music has gotten me through a lot and with this new album coming out I’m yet again going through something tough and I can’t wait to have the whole album on repeat for a month or so❤

[@makaelabeeber6050]

Oh my god the feels! I've been listening for soooo many years..... the fact that I've got VIP tickets this years is such a dream come true. You guys are incredible. The absolute best 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@stephk1970]

Got VIP for the show in Dec, right after my bday! I am sooo incredibly excited. :') Favourite band of all time.

[@melrks09]

Oh my how I love this. So many memories, this had me smiling the entire time. You guys never disappoint!!

[@dreijones2280]

You’ve been with me since I was introduced to you guys at 14. There was a new album for me to listen to at every stage of my life so far. I hope that continues for a long time. Hope I’ll be able to see you guys live someday!

[@alexispepper958]

My heart😭 I’m so excited to see you guys live!!

[@KatanaGSD]

I was 12 when i discovered Marianas Trench... im now 26. I remember watching the old tour video most of the beginning clips were from because i watched every video i could get my hands on by them. I bonded with them as much as their music when i found them, to this day if someone asks me my favorite band of all time, I still say Marianas Trench. ❤️

[@annaescoton3041]

I have been a fan from the beginning, these clips really hit so hard. I am so happy seeing them again 😢😢😢

[@Dethikah]

I can't stop playing this song, it makes tears stream down my face, esp. the part where he talks about his parents. It's so bittersweet, for anyone who's lost someone, but i love how the song is full of hope and the clouds part at the end, i can't wait to see this live, it will truly be a spiritual experience ❤‍🩹❤💜

[@KarlieStarrSings]

Josh how can you be both such an unserious and serious man all at the same time?!?! 😭✨💕

[@shann_rosea]

The most amazing thing is that it's always been you guys. Josh, Matt, Ian, and Mike is Marianas Trench. And a lot of us seem to be long time fans of you guys as well. Including myself. You guys are an amazing band, and I am so so excited for this next album!! So ready! Can't wait to see you guys again soon, for the tour! 🙌❤

[@gimixie125]

I've listened to this song everyday since it came out and have tears up each time. There are so few people in my life who understand how much these guys and their music have saved my life.

[@rschiel50]

I've got goosebumps again...and I thought Phantoms couldn't be topped! Another conceptual album from the incomparable Josh Ramsay and all the members of Marianas Trench...can't wait for the US leg of their upcoming tour! 💜💜💜

[@rosiered3403]

❤ from Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦🇨🇦

omg the thumbnail caught me off guard for a second, thought it might be a reupload of an old MV🥹😭🩷🩷

[@xotoast]

I have seen every tour + extras. I used to watch the Legacy with my friends over and over. it might still be some where in a box in my dad's garage. Thank you for making music, and continuing to make music. This is probably the first tour I'll miss because I live abroad now. Can't wait for the album. ♥️♥️♥️

[@carriepadgett2743]

This song makes me feel like I could leap mountains. Swear to God.

[@funnystrukis]

Being a fan for 12 years now they're my favorite band ever I just wish they'll come to my country 🥲

[@CassidyRose8806]

Watching this brings back so many great memories from so many MT concerts! Thank you for all the incredible music through the years! Can’t wait to see what’s next! Once a trencher, always a trencher! 🩵

[@taylorlacusta2075]

Ive been listening to MT since 2009 as a 7 year old growing up in Southern bc, thanks to my older sister. And no words will ever be able to describe how much their music means to me. You guys just keep getting better and better😭💜

[@zabethrenaldo]

So adorably done, in the best way! As I watched the clips from all the past albums and shows shown here, it was like taking my own personal trip down memory lane! I was brought back to those shows, and where I was when I first saw those music videos, too! The emotions evoked from this music video added a beautiful layer to the emotional connection I already felt to this song when it released! Thank you guys!! 💜

[@Toaster-yf2ie]

Hyped for the new album! Can’t wait to see you guys in concert in October for the second of my life. Been a huge fan since my sister showed me your music when I was in grade school, never stopped listening since

[@mariasensio5113]

Where is the clip scene from (clearly an interview, but which one) is at around 1:13 - all of the guys are sitting with their legs crossed and they all simultaneously shift and cross the opposite leg? Where is the video from?

[@malyndamunsters9867]

Josh!!!! Your had me on the first note but the mom and dad line!!!! Come on bro right to my heart!!!! We love you all we really do and it hurts your fans when your hurting!!! God bless your talents given to you and nurtured by both your parents and thank you for sharing with the world and thanks to all of Marianas trench band members we see you, we Hear you, we will always love you!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

I absolutely love Marianas Trench. Their music is so beautiful 😭 and just speaks to me. I waited and of course Josh's high note delivered 😭😭

[@sennataylor592]

This band has a special place in my heart. Wishing all of them the best.

[@hannahmatwaychukjohnson1268]

This song has such a strong reminiscent feeling to it, but at the same time it holds a promise of so much more to come.

[@PyromanicNytemair]

can't wait to see you guys live again in september!

[@bom33ber]

Been listening to MT since the beginning and now my kids have grown into young adults also on the music you guys have created over the years. Thank you

[@creepypasta9881]

Just heard him play last night in Chicago ❤ his whole band was amazing and this song made me so happy because I hadn't heard any of his new music and the quality never stopped! His band still stayed the wholesome, inviting, and hype band I fell in love with as a kid! ❤

[@erinelizzy5405]

“And this is only just beginning…” All these memories, I can’t wait for more. ❤

[@iPawsKatyt]

Josh and Amanda, this is amazing news to hear

[@ninjasmusic123]

I have been WAITING for this! Can't wait to watch it, already know it's gonna be a banger! Edit: Now that I've watched it, it's so emotional watching all the past in this one music video. From when they first started till now...the nostalgia makes me tear up a bit. Congratulations to Josh on this newfound journey he's about to embark as a father!

[@Forbiddendreamsx]

ive been a fan since i was in high school (for about 12 years now) and this made me incredibly emotional. the nostalgia is STRONG. cant wait to see you guys again in a few months!!

[@MeghanHavener]

This band has been my favorite band since 2010, when i was turning 13. I hadnt cared too strongly for music before then but now i love it all. Its so deeply ingrained in my soul now, and i always felt so acceoted and lvoed when i went to a concert with fellow Trenchers. This band is hoenstly my everything, my reason to go on at times, and i am so excited for their album to drop. Thank y'all for naming it after me 😘 you know, HAVENer is my last name soooo

[@its_haturday]

And the beginning of an exciting new era.

@@edenchapman8787 yes I think this is the start of a hiatus because Josh is expecting a child

[@H313NA]

​@@nemofinn_ Omg is he? What wonderful news, I am so pleased for him.

[@leslieshand4509]

As I struggle with what we lost during the pandemic, I can honestly say that I may not have found these guys ever without it. The line about his mother and father being in the room still makes me clutch. I’ve probably played it 100 times already. My 25 year old son just rolls his eyes and points out a new Marianas Trench video I haven’t binged yet. And having found them together I discovered Josh’s solo album that is fantastic and opened the door to all the other Canadian artists he recorded duets with. I could go on and, but I’ll just sit back and watch the video for the 100th time.

[@CozyNachos]

Seeing y'all in Silver Spring last month was one of the most magical memories I will ever have. I wish I could describe how much this band means to me. Y'all got me through an abusive relationship and so much more. I will never not love Marianas Trench.

[@northernbelle7020]

Goodness… all that nostalgia at 8 am… well done! That was fantastic!
