Listened to all of Summer Death for the first time tonight, and damn...after dealing with most painful heartbreak and being traumatized by the worst summer of my entire life it was something I needed. I found them on complete accident on some Midwest emo mixtape and I don’t regret it. In the few months of my worst mental health of my entire life, they really connected with me. They really did something I needed. I’ve been in so much pain lately and they just spoke to me the way nothing else had all summer. God bless Marietta, and even if the things I’ve been through have caused me to no longer believe there is a god anymore.

Thank you so much for this video. I've been loving this album for years now but never took a step back to understand it for myself. This video made me think about it and now I think I really know why I was so attached to the album. I wrote the following about this album. Growing up I dealt so much with the searching for purpose and meaning to my life. The fear of mortality and the thought that in the end none of this will have mattered. Never to get an answer to the question of why we exist except for in a few moments. The times where we said fuck it and lived in the moment. The times we didn't think about what would happens in the future or what happened in the past but instead lived only in the now. When consequence held no wait and baggage didn't bring precedent we felt alive. And that's what this album is about to me. Forget the stresses of living by being alive. As a close friend once told me at 2 am trying to convince me to get into a car to just drive around "you don't remember the nights you stayed in". We live this life to make memories and most of those memories lie in the finer details of our commitments to just be alive.

[@NateTheMateForever]

whoa... that's actually one of my favorite albums ever. I'm inherently biased though, bc I grew up going to the beach on linden ave that they sing about during my summer break with my family. If you ever get a chance to go to Carpinteria, California, you gotta check it out! Very small and quaint beach town.

Nate The Mate I definitely will man. I just got back from NAMM so I wasn’t able to go this time but next time I’m in Cali I’ll go. But I only heard about that album because of you and now it’s one of my favorites.

[@ElJules33]

Marietta... Discovered them thanks to MoBo (which I discovered thanks to Shark?, because GTA V) and it was so shocking. Good God, the lyrics! They are so deep, like if they said the things you don't want (or can't) to say. I also have anxiety issues and I remember wandering around the neighborhood riding my bike listening to the full album on and on and on... Sometimes, when anxiety was at the highest points, I used to go to a nearby church and pray. And I felt like "Fuck, Dantooine..." when they say "Get to the church light, I need to reaffirm with God that I'm non of his concern..." And when I attended a psychologist "leave me in therapy, maybe someday I'll be okay..." Marietta makes me remember all the things (and ways) I've felt in my life in a painful yet tender way, as if they remind me that, yeah, I'm not alone, I'm a human being and I'm allowed to feel bad and weird and that this will pass and I'll feel good again, fit for release... Marietta has been part of my life and I am so happy it was that way. Many thanks and lots of love from Lima, Peru.

I think Nate you should make all the midwest bands a video. They deserve recognition and some of them are rare. Some of them really don't care about money, but they broke up shortly after releasing an album.

[@NateTheMateForever]

incredible idea, Dean. I really like covering bands that clearly weren't in it for the money. To be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to earn a living from music, but there's just something about an individual/group doing something purely out of love/expression. I am to cover any/all types on music on here, but those artists that purely do it out of love will always be my favorite to talk about.

[@itsallenwow]

Hey man great video, just listened to this album on the way home from work and I liked it! If you’re thinking of a band for your next video you should consider Spanish Love Songs.
