Oceansize - The Frame

[@demoncleaner45]

Never fails to bring me back to a certain point in my life.

[@phaustho]

Sometimes, when I go to bed, I leave my laptop turned on playing "The frame"... and I fall asleep listening to this beautiful song, It's like a lullaby to me. One of their best songs.

[@IdoSchacham]

May you rest in peace, the best band in the world that too few of us knew

[@Gard3n208]

I know sometime in the future the will be appreciated and recongnized as one of the best band to come out on this new century.

[@Gray_UK]

I went to see Smashing Pumpkins at the MEN Arena at the start of 2008, and only found out on the day that these guys were supporting. I'd never even heard of them so was kind of disappointed. Then the show started, and it was like being hit with a wall of noise (in a good way). I've never, ever enjoyed a concert so much in my life - and I was actually gutted when they left the stage and SP came on. They've been my favourite band ever since, I'm so glad I got to experience them in a big arena.

[@patrickbrokenmirror]

A good amount of time have passed and yet, I'm still sad because they split up :(

[@andromedaneoprog]

Such a sad day in the music history....this band was really one of a kind to me and their split hit me right in the soul like no other band did before.hope they reconsider their decision in a near by future,in the meanwhile we'll always have amazing oceansize songs like this one and its funny because they're not the picture anymore but they will always be the frame,one very important frame....

[@awalczak08]

A sad day for all music today. They really were one of the best bands, period. They will be missed. "I am not the picture now I am the frame"

[@BmoreIrish]

Why does this video have 6 thumbs down???? This might be one of the most perfect songs ever written. 10/10!

Chris Broughton

[@MrBujny]

Chris Broughton why does this comment have only 3 thumbs up? This might be one of the most true comments ever made. :)

[@Michael-vu4nv]

whitehotwhitelight ,I love this song ,it's great and so was the band,that said everyone is entitled to their view and we dont all need to agree.

[@jafethalpizar6150]

Why do you care how many thumbs downs? This IS one of the most perfect songs ever written.

[@Trisatya]

It's amazing how such simple chords be transfigured into something awesome. This is a nice, peaceful closure to a perfectly crafted album.

[@nastidivan9740]

oceansize is one of my favorite bands, all i can say is thank you, for the patient and time to make music that will live forever in the history, in our minds, works like these are timeless.

[@exchangedspider]

We miss you guys, Oceansize will remain one of those rarest gems!

[@CapnPuff69]

this intro is incredibly post-rock inspired. This song is unbelievable

[@LunaKissBand]

i was lucky enough to see this band live twice. But i look back and wander if i appreciated them enough. Miss them alot now. a huge influence on me and our music as a band. Please check us out, we aren't trying to fill their shoes or claiming to be worthy to lick their feet. but you may like us! Luna Kiss

[@SubStarLex]

This makes me feel nostalgia for experiences I never had

[@dtemple11]

This reminds me why they’re my favorite band of all time

[@oneeyedcreepydude]

Best band ever. It's a shame they are so underground. I think they deserve much more credit than most bands out there.

[@chebguy]

I've never really listened to Oceansize much before...But this is really beautiful

[@UtAnNik]

Роскошное произведение. Одно из лучших Oceansize.

[@Anisaakismore]

Oceansize have split up. Thanks for all your music guys!!! Greetings from Barcelona, good luck!! Isaac

[@voleh9122]

So moving... Oceansize makes music to flow through you, really inside

[@skypilotriffs1693]

Man, I miss Oceansize...

[@LeScuttle]

This song has had such a huge influence on me and my music. I'll never forget how amazing this band was. Oceansize

[@whoah1988]

But, it a very good live version. Saw them live in the Netherlands in July. They are freaking awesome. Blew me away =)

[@ColoniousMonk]

Got the record for years now, loved the track ever since, but I got to watch this video for the 1st time now. And I have to say: Wow. - What an energetic piece of montage this is - so give cheers to them editor(s)!

[@whitehotwhitelight]

Great song,it holds on to you and you want it to continue on ,...super band.

[@Seabearr]

incredible song.

[@Horomaru]

The lyrics are simply beautiful ;_;

[@lac0rde]

Dear God, it's so complex.. I wonder how they manage to keep the line during these10 minutes. FUCKING GREAT BAND !

[@BagasW]

the frame...very2 great album from oceansize! superb performance!!!!!!!!!

[@thebrotha]

Please come play in America...

[@Ritsoz]

this band really has to get bigger fast... they're so great, made 3 mindblowing albums, seen them twice, i want to see them play bigger stages!! i am a big fan of Tool, but i think in a way Oceansize is equally great and still so small :(

[@CarlHalligan]

Best band in the world.

[@0piat0]

beautiful song. My Favourite band. its original !!!! dont compare!!

[@RHCP5123]

that was awesome

[@novocrk]

@LPmusicLP apoyo la moción!!!! que vuelva oceansize!!!

[@kingkui12]

masterpiece.

[@irishgavster]

Perfect yet again

[@0piat0]

dude!! I bought the dvd ...but its out of stock! I have to be patience... Im so glad to see this video!! "I just hope no more of the DVD surfaces online."; Sorry but I dont think that way. I came to Oceansize by internet.

[@cqckid]

can't wait to see them on the weekend!

[@Orpheus063]

Osize are the definition of math-rock, let me explain: 3 2 3 2 1 - 3 2 3 2 1 - 3 2 3 3 2 1 - 3 2 3 3 2 1 - That's the opening guitar in compound timing, add them all up and you have a recuring sequence of 50 beats. That's the first guitar bit in a nutshell... Second guitar bit is... 6 4 6 1 - This kicks in at the beginning and the 3rd section of the first guitar sequence... The 3rd part is... 3 2 2 2 - 3 2 2 2 - The most interesting, since it's odd, it gives the alternating feel...

[@ellennon04]

come to mexicoooooo !!!!!!!!

[@JoeHarman886]

Band is awesome

[@seamusmckeown76]

Love this band!!!

[@karnivorx]

@rlesbirel Thanks for pointing that out. There are a good few guitars that look very similar to Gibsons. My friend has a hollow body Yamaha that looks just like one as well. I remember Mike saying how he upgraded that cheap 80 strat and made it sound amazing.

[@Ceramique]

because they're emotive proggressive post rock. From manchester. They HAVE a genre dearie.

[@karnivorx]

I just noticed that Mike is playing a Gibson during this song. I've never seen him on anything but a Fender.

[@Tr1ploid]

I think 10,000 days is a very different album than their other work, not in a negative way. It reminds me a lot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I love it. But you are right in a way, as I would like to see Oceansize live in the near future for less than €30. Although, if they would get biiger I might actually have a chance of getting my hands on their EP's here in Belgium?

[@MrBujny]

I am not a picture now... I'm a frame

[@andy1908]

thanks...

[@berenikesdare]

kills me to this day as Im just abt going to learn what this song means

[@phaustho]

Sounds really cool. I'll have to try, =)

[@Orpheus063]

@MrMuddyBleach Yeah Osize are one of my favourite crazy time-signiture using bands, everyone should check out Miocene too they are badass. =D

[@MrMuddyBleach]

@Orpheus063 That is really cool actually! I didn't notice that!

[@daviddrozd]

of course that was in relation to tr1ploid's: I think 10,000 days is a very different album than their other work, not in a negative way. It reminds me a lot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

[@vanshu7]

Приезжайте в Россию!!!

[@amm2911]

haha the tags on this video are the best

[@Ethanodd1]

I'm so fucking pissed off I never saw them live. Possibly could've been the greatest live act ever. Oh well, though. Maybe down the road, 'Size will have a reunion, but until then I'll thoroughly support each band member's projects. Thoroughly looking forward to Mike's solo work as well as British Theatre, which is Gambler and Mike. In the end, it all balances itself out.

[@rudewey]

ora ya!!!!!!!!!

[@erockerock238]

uhh disappointed that no one I know told me about this band, had to discover them through the announcement of their breakup

[@Ceramique]

\o/ I've not got a strong one unfortunately. Though oddly enough when I'm drinking I get a Leicestershire accent. :D DEARIE.

[@winchuni22]

@oneeyedcreepydude The flip side of that is they keep their music good. Getting too much exposure often kills bands. People forget Biffy Clyro were an awesome post-hardcore band back in the day. They saw the limelight and money, and the music has suffered.

[@jimmywacked]

@Oceansized ~ BEST BAND?? YOUR SMOKIN TOO MUCH DOPE-

[@nashcomp]

youll need a pack of cigarretes and mangoes juice to enjoy this

[@ericormathias]

@erockerock238 same here man. its sad:(

[@Ceramique]

Lol. Glasgea here. :) But emotive ah bugger. wikipedia proves me wrong. They're apparently space rock too. Just like amplifier! :D I totally understand the emotional definition. But then again I'd have to say there are some things I'd define as emotive over others. Say, Incubus I would not define as emotive. The Mars Volta I would say is emotive (on specific albums), The Offspring I would not say is emotive, its more like complaining. LOL.

[@jmrocker]

The beginning sounds like Explosions In the Sky.

[@craschione1]

They would become commercial, if they were famous. Music industry is killing its own children. :)

[@nikheizen]

I think Dream Rock/Art Rock/Space Rock fits them better.

[@Tr1ploid]

yes actually, there's the same type of build up, progressive structures, use of ambient... Say what you want, but the similarities are there.

[@jary1844]

nice jam, but this piece needs a perfection of studio vesion to explode in the mind.

[@TheR00ler]

Im trying to tab this song, does anyone have a clue about the time signature and chords in the chorus? Hard to hear.

[@jamesdevine6633]

Did you have any luck with tabbing this masterpiece? I would love to get it off you because I tried with no success lol

[@Oenols]

They're obviously progressive death indie.

[@LPM2]

VUELVAN A JUNTARSE

[@daviddrozd]

rofl tool being like GY!BE ahahaha haahaaha

[@whoah1988]

I'd prefer they stay the way they are =) Otherwise they'll be making Oceansize vs. Lil'Wayne songs in a short amount of time. omg?

[@Ceramique]

I suppose it is list-like but honestly its what they are. Manchester is relevant because of national pride damnit. >:l Emo != emotive. Difference there. (no really wikipedia told me so)

[@Oenols]

Why did someone vote me down? They've called themselves progressive death indie (it's a joke), it's not like I'm mocking them or anything.

[@bumbisAle]

You all write so long comments that I can't understand... So I'll just listen this video.

[@josephlachowicz2565]

I find it really stupid that the description says "go buy the DVD." If you wanted us to buy the DVD, why would you upload the video, Andy?

[@andy1908]

I didn't up the entire thing. it's just a taste of the dvd... ie. one song. stop being such a fucking idiot Joe.

[@L00n1TICK]

lol no. just no
