Anyone else here because you recently discovered this song/band and wanted to see someone else's heart burst like yours did the first time you heard it?

[@perseomediterraneo]

absolutely! decisamente

[@shocky3260]

Literally only reason I am here!

[@TomClancyBingBong]

I walked up to a stage in 2014 at lollapalooza thinking I was seeing "Motion city sountrack"..... then Manchester Orchestra started to play. I'd read wrong and never heard of them. Never stopped listening since.

[@TomClancyBingBong]

Update, I've heard this song countless times. Again tears.

[@imtems6369]

Haha so very yes mate

[@AnOldGreyDog]

Now do yourselves a _huge_ favour and go listen to the whole album, in order, uninterrupted. You won't regret it.

[@TheElectroman2010]

I agree 1000%

[@apizlmbg1]

my fav album so far. and find it fitting that The Silence is the last track, that after that last note you are left with exactly that, silence. this album is just an experience

[@bherrin67]

100%. A tremendously amazing record!

[@peal1179]

Facts. Some amazing songs on this one also.

[@williamfurlan9176]

I don't know of a better album front to back.

[@dustinmartin22]

I’m still in the corner that this is one of the best songs ever produced. Up there with Stairway to Heaven and others. My own opinion.

[@MikeandGinger]

Hard to argue - G

[@ehrins4222]

It's an absolute masterpiece.

[@colintook3357]

I couldn't agree more, the album is a masterpiece but this track is on another level altogether, as you say it's in the class of stairway to heaven. These guys deserve so much more exposure.

[@curtiswilson3569]

One of the best but least known Bands out there. They fill your ears, but also your soul. Every song is so different, very versatile.

[@jki8006]

I tear up every time I see this live or hear a live version. Best band on the planet.

[@BakerStreetShootout]

Manchester Orchestra is fantastic at making haunting songs. Their album “black mile to the surface” is amazing from start to finish!

[@joegvoll1945]

Yeah, I'm a few years behind on their music but I should be caught up by Sunday. :)

[@bazkeen]

What a beautiful sound. That drum in the background was haunting. His voice was amazing. Great, great choice guys. Definitely more of them please.

[@denisegrupe8588]

My grandson turned me on to Manchester Orchestra a few years ago...been a fan since then. Watching you two watch them, experiencing the same things that I do, I realize that I have the goal of attending one of their concerts and experiencing this with a roomful of people. At 65, I've not been to a concert in over 20 years but this is, at this time, the ONLY thing on my bucket list. Please review Telepath. Bring tissues. Yes, I'm repeating myself. Happens in old age! ;)

[@tammiebono9935]

My favorite independent artist group EVER!! ANDY is a BRILLIANT LYRICIST

[@mdh2os7]

This is one of the best bands on the planet. It is a shame that people are just now discovering them from this song. I have seen them in concert 5 times now, and will see them 50 more if life will allow.

[@kalevala29]

I went through a long period of not listening to music. I would have the radio on low in the kitchen most days and nights. I was in a deep depression, and I just wanted silence then to sleep. One day I was just poking around on KZbin, and I came across this video. I've been a fan ever since. 🖤

[@atomic_9182]

I’ve listened to that song many, many times and it still gives me chills and goosebumps.

[@tomasedson2111]

For me, one of the best lyrics made, with a melody that says it all with the lyrics. Congratulations and best wishes.

[@MNWildFan57]

From their first album to their latest. Amazing. Been listening to their stuff in my mom’s car since I was 3.

[@joegvoll1945]

They're an Incredible Band! "The Mistake", is 1 of the Greatest Songs of all-time! The entire album is Amazing! There's something about his voice that just echoes in your soul!

[@cuhrissuh]

You guys HAVE to do I Know How To Speak by them. Simply incredible.

[@christiantoth7959]

I absolutely felt in love with this song a few weeks ago. And now i can't stop listen to this masterpiece day by day. The full live version is also great.

[@dustinmartin22]

The “OHHH HOOO HOOO” mike gives in the beginning… is how every human hearing a CLASSIC feels. It’s the feeling I felt the first time I heard Starway to Heaven, Mozarts Lacrimosa, Johnny Cash’s Ring of fire, Eminem’s Lose Yourself, etc… when a classic is made.. the feeling never wavers… it should be preserved for all time… and this song… is a CLASSIC.

[@christiantoth7959]

If you want to hear more of this band you should try “I know how to speak”. There is also an acoustic Version, two guys from the band with their guitars, just fantastic...

[@frosty6960]

The acoustic version is some kind of .. magic

[@katp2367]

Been following my hometown boys since ‘06 and I love seeing people discover them for the first time. They just get better and better 💜

[@vickvick8556]

Same...from the L spent a lot of time in Grayson jamming. Wish I knew these guys were down the road.

[@DamnedPoetry]

The great thing about Manchester Orchestra is that they release demos and acoustic versions of many of their songs with minor differences so you really can choose your favourite version!

[@kmcelligott4]

I've listened to them since 2011 (the year that my daughter was born) and recently re-discovered them by way of this album (the year my daughter's father passed away). The "prayer" in regards to his daughter at the end of the song gives me goosebumps. I'll be a lifelong listener of them for sure.

[@pitmatix1457]

Only heard this less than a week ago. Fucking hell it hits you straight in the heart!

[@rikard-strand]

This is music at its best. The voice, the beat, everything. You two really enjoyed it and i suggest that you take a deep dive into this band, they're a treasure chest.

[@figvania4805]

My favorite band of all time them and frightened rabbit!

A glass of wine, and with yall lovely folks and Manchester orchestra- transported me to a different dimension- Thankyou !

[@jasonh37]

Been listening to these guys since 2011. Andy Hull is a genius music and songwriter. Lyrics are really deep. There's typically no chorus in any of their songs, just a beautiful story.

[@janasweitzer355]

Most badass singer ever,his words and sound is so crazy killer great.. brilliant

[@herkamer98]

WOW - best looking reaction hosts on KZbin! And I've been listening to this soul-lifting tune for about three days straight and can't get enough! The drums, his voice, the lyrics, the POWER they bring to the last live half is astounding. I have to agree with another commenter about needing to check out their "I know how to speak" tune. There's a live, acoustic version that will just break your heart. Thanks for a great reaction to a great tune! And stay sexy!! :)

[@MikeandGinger]

Thank you! Will do - G

[@jlozzano6559]

hello Mike & Ginger, i love to watch your reactions. You guys should definetely react to THE ALIEN video by Manchester Orchestra, its a very touching song and video. Ginger may probably cry i promise. :-)

[@MikeandGinger]

Lol. These guys are better than most, at making me cry 🤣 - G

[@fluffy_walrus]

Such a wonderful song, such a wonderful reaction! This band's really evolved over their albums and they honestly only get better as they go (though their early stuff is also excellent). The Silence is one of their more 'cinematic' songs, for a lack of a better word. The rest of this album is great, I like "The Gold" and "The Grocery" after this track. From the rest of their disography, you can't go wrong with "I Know How to Speak", "Cope"(from the album Hope, but the version from the Cope album is fine, too), and "Shake It Out"

[@shanelewis5970]

The craziest thing is that his music video don’t have any tech changes to his voice. He one of the best artists around

[@WordUnheard]

I'm not sure where you two live, but Manchester Orchestra is touring over the next several months. I have my tickets for The House Of Blues show in New Orleans. This band is nothing short of amazing, and every song on A Black Mile To The Surface and The Million Masks Of God is breathtakingly beautiful. Their music changed from their albums I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child, Hope, Mean Everything To Nothing, and Simple Math, after his daughter was born. Andy has incorporated his daughters voice into both ABMTTS and TMMOG. The first track on ABMTTS, The Maze, is written about Andy's daughter, Mazie. The first half of the song is from the prospective of his baby girl looking up at her dad with uncertainty, with lyrics like: I never mind about bothering you I'm trying to decide if I'll bother with you So, feed me your wisdom and breathe me your truth I'm amazing And Andy, looking down upon his daughter in her crib and comes back with: Somebody said it's unspeakable love Somebody said it's unspeakable love Well, you don't believe I can speak well at all You're a maze to me And ending in a choir backing him with: Somebody said it's unspeakable love It's amazing You lift that burden off of me You lift that burden off of me You lift that burden off of me The Maze is a perfect song that I wish were much, much longer.

[@MikeandGinger]

We’re in Costa Rica 😕

[@WordUnheard]

@@MikeandGinger They played in Costa Rica in...checks notes...2012. So there's always a chance.

This band also did the soundtrack to the moive "Swiss Army Man" . One of my fav bands! Great reaction!

[@jaredpickard2618]

Thank you for appreciating this!

[@colintook3357]

This album was the background music for the last few weeks of my dear mother's life as I travelled to and from the hospital, this song in particular just summed the situation up.

[@MikeandGinger]

I’m so sorry for your loss, Colin. ❤️ I imagine it must be hard to hear it now. - G

[@Philly_Phan]

One of the best bands around, and very underrated to me. They are a must see in concert. The singer Andy Hull is a genius with lyrics.

[@tomwilkerson3532]

It’s like a rock opera, awesome song, loved it for years!

[@BleuSkiddew]

10:15 "is it just me, or did that guy look way too burley for his voice". Yup, that's definitely a comment of someone who was just introduced to Manchester Orchestra, you've got a lot more good songs to listen to! It's so cool watching others enjoy some of my favorite music.

[@bryjammac]

Just saw them live for the first time in Toronto and I have to say that it is easily the best sound/mix that I've ever heard live. These guys are enormous live. Their studio stuff simply does not do them justice.

[@MikeandGinger]

Super jealous rn - G

[@TheF3ROX]

Love the way you draw pictures to explain this wonderfull masterpiece. For me, The Silence, everytime leaves my heart wide open at the end.

Please cover Manchester Orchestras version of Pride they dropped last week on KZbin (at Echo Mountain). Gives me chills every time!

[@scottlund4562]

My 15yr old daughter shared me a song by a band unknown to me she likes called, "The Gold" which I then realized was a cover of Manchester off this same album...Andy Hull's writting is perfect across generations even if he is not singing it. Great review btw!

Subscribed. I have been searching for reactions to Manchester Orchestra for years. Thank you. Thank you.

[@benheikes9100]

I'm not crying your crying....Awesome reaction from Ginger, I did the same thing in 2013 / 14 when I first heard Cope, then Hope! The Black Mile To The Surface is the greatest concept album of the past 2 generations. Prior to their new album, they put out a concert video of the entire album start to finish, flawless!

Mike saying only been doing channel for six months....... well that really has been worth it. Love watching you guys and has also opened me up to new groups and singers I have never heard of before. Makes you wonder whatever happened years ago because if it wasn’t played on radio you never got to hear of some of these amazing artists. Keep it coming ❤️🤘🇦🇺

[@MikeandGinger]

Indeed! We were having dinner with friends last night and were talking about how bad it’s been, trying to discover new music when all the radio plays is trash! This channel has been a godsend for us. We’re pleased that we’ve managed to pay it forward somewhat ❤️🙏🏻 - G

[@kittykixbootie]

I just recently discovered this band and this song. And knowing the lyrics really draws me. Why do I deserve the science To feel better about you? At a loss I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me All the while you waste away, you're asking "Did I really need another one to take me down?" Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" That was something your father had burned in me 20 hours out of Homestake eternity You can go anywhere but you are where you came from Little girl, you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here

Funny that you mention Michael Stipe, as both REM and MO are from Athens, Georgia

[@fredmcelwaney5026]

Manchester Orchestra are from Atlanta, not Athens like R.E.M., but yeah, I think the Georgia accent (which can vary greatly) may play a part possibly. A lot of bands and singers from here have very distinct or unusual vocal stylings.

[@MrHws5mp]

Apparently they're from Atlanta, but named after Manchester, England (my nearest city). Confusing when it popped up because Manchester has several 'real' orchestras!

[@AnOldGreyDog]

I believe Andy Hull decided on the name because he was very into several Manchester bands (Oasis, Stone Roses and so on). (A fellow near-Manchester resident...)
