PAIN OF SALVATION - Linoleum (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@88omair]

I love how Johan's vocal presence was more significant on the RS albums. He's got a really good voice as well.

[@Rachelwakanda]

Pain of Salvation's Road Salt is high art, reaches deep into the soul if you let it, because it is born of pain, the hero's journey of the soul; this music could not be created by people who had not lived this truth and come through the other side of it; it is truly authentic. Can reach past your emotional defenses if you let it; it is transformative and illuminating. Can't believe some people hear it and worry about what 'category it fits into!

[@adrianajimenez-willis5034]

THIS IS MY FAVORTE SONG EVER WHENEVER ITS JUST ME AND MY DAD IN THE CAR WE TURN IT UP SUPER LOUD AND LITERALLY SCREAM THE LYRICS ❤️❤️❤️

[@marleysheredder]

What a lovely comment ♥️

[@Forks22]

Pain of Salvation is, and will be, impressive, no matter what they do. They've got the goods. Heart. Soul. Prowess. Intelligence.

[@YtseJam214]

That's it I'm getting into Pain of Salvation this is great stuff. Raw as hell. I love it.

[@tritile]

This guy is a genius. I could hardly believe how he dared to compose this album. This is progressive: Daring! And gloriously so as to strike the beholder.

[@Benspowerchairballads]

Seeing Opeth on Saturday 12th November in Birmingham. Found out these guys were supporting so looked them up... so glad I did, they're awesome. Just bought their last two albums!

[@majdhassan1623]

quite genius of pain of salvation to make a video that you can smell

[@88omair]

Crossed the 1 million mark. First POS video to do that.

[@dante666jt]

I just can't specify anymore how significant PoS is. Influencing countless artists and like-minded individuals to create something beautiful and worth cherishing for. Daniel

[@ganondorfchampin]

I didn't quite realize what this song was about until a couple of weeks ago, then I broke...I was sobbing for the first time in years...

[@mateuszuliani2030]

+ganondorfchampin what is it about? hahahah

[@ganondorfchampin]

+Mateus Zuliani When you're trying so hard to stay on top of the game, pretending you don't need help from anyone, be strong, be the best and whatnot, but then you just can't keep the act up any longer and you just break down.

[@ravonne6308]

OMFG, yes! This is the only song which made me cry, ever. But it did, it describes perfectly a period in my life, thanks for sharing your side!

[@BrillCubes]

buwahahahahaah

[@tritile]

This sort of epiphanic revelations involving PoS lyrics often happen to me as well. I listen to a song for several years striving to understand what the lyrics mean then, suddenly, something happens in my life and it all turn to crystal clear. I feel as if I am crossing the very same situation Daniel was crossing when he happened to write those words. It is poetry at it's boundary: Allegories so deep you can only get them if you are in the situation. Even the meaning of the name "Pain of Salvation" came to me in the same fashion. Daniel is among my favorite writers for this reason. He is a master of deep allegories.

[@YoLpIsBest]

Pain of Salvation is now one of my favorite band. I have listened all day they songs and I gotta say that they have really different kind of music and it's all enjoyable to me!

[@MrFighead]

No matter which one of the P.O.S. albums I listen to I always hear something new and fresh. The greatest thing about them is that they obviously have many different influences but they really sound like no other band. Just keep on rocking, guys!

[@JessBedolla3]

She keeps the world at bay With walls built to stand come-what-may And with that coldness on display, they held until today She would hold her own Running all alone Ridding her road of every grain To stay in control But now. She cries. Alive Suddenly she is down on all four And the walls will support her no more Cries her eyes out like never before Onto this linoleum The bottled up and stored She's won every war And when she's out that door She will push ahead of you, frowning at the poor She would move so fast not to end up last Aiming for the finish line To smile at those she'd passed But now. She cries. Alive Suddenly she is down on all four And the walls will support her no more Cries her eyes out like never before Onto this linoleum The bottled up. And stored -- And sometimes Oh, just sometimes That's really all it takes: A hand on her shoulder Then she breaks Sometimes that's really all it takes: (Yes then) A word of kindness and she breaks (She breaks) And then the sum of damage done (Well she breaks) Spills out on stale linoleum (She breaks) Sometimes that's really all it takes: (She breaks) A gentle touch and then she breaks (She breaks) To see the sum of damage done (She breaks) Stain this linoleum (Oh, she breaks) Sometimes that's really all it takes: (Oh, she breaks) A word or touch and then we break (Oh, she breaks) And all this world's linoleum (She breaks) Can't hold the sum of damage done -- (She's becoming her last casualty) Itsy bitsy Spider Climbed the water spout (If she breaks then at last she'll be free) Down Came the Rain And washed the spider out (But she keeps it together once more) Now she stays on the ground So she'll never fall (And runs another day to fight another war) See she would rather drown Than lose control

[@mimimi230]

This is incredible music, you lose hope in this time related to music where you feel it is lived and loved, and with the tears and the frustrating in itself. So deep you feel on the ground, you feel the reality here you can feel the frustration and the Significance of this music.

[@wowamazing123]

Such a wicked song. And that bridge always manages to space me out. So beautiful, for powerful. PoS, You rock.

[@sammygamer3822]

Addicted to this song, addicted to this band, addicted to this man

[@honza_kriz_bass]

WOW! Love the way they spin the riffs around! Awesome stuff!!!

saw them yesterday in munich ... and it was absolutely awesome

[@VinnyBrando]

Best Pain Of Salvation album. Pure genius.

[@cricket8646]

Heavy Chris Cornell influence in his per4mance !!! GREAT STUFF !!

[@KenjiKussano]

Excellent song, don't matter which genre it is.

[@levanah1509]

on&on&on they go........great, powerful song....love the location.......

[@katemurphy1915]

Beautiful, in many different ways.

[@Gawillamon]

just randomly found this band and this is the first video of theirs that i watched. this is my new favorite song...

[@tooneken]

wow, I see too much coments saying "this isn't metal" or "this isn't prog" or "this isn't prog metal blah blah blah" ... Then, if music is not prog metal or whatever, is it bad? btw, Daniel Gildenlöw has said so many times that they don't play progressive metal. Odd time signatures in many songs don't mean that a band is progressive. Distorted guitars don't have to be metal. Don't care about if it is prog metal or not. Just enjoy this awesome band and their ability to reinvent themselves.

[@seasonthemoon]

dry cool sound :) nothing but real sound.... :)

[@arhegor]

This band still shaking me up from top to bottom. Can't wait to see them live again

[@SageIceDragonX]

Total music crush on this song!

[@Bougsiminator]

Yeah, they play a concert in my hometown on october, 30th! Will be f***ing awesome!

[@dlambot]

Wonderful album. I got it three days ago, can't stop listening to it !!!!

[@rockparkoure]

I'm praying for you Daniel. i hope you get better soon. BTW i was on progressive nation 2014 and saw both of P.O.S shows and they where amazing even thought it wasn't you but i would've exploded if it was you.!!!!!

[@milton1448]

Ditto on both counts- Get Well Daniel!

[@rockparkoure]

Milton Hunter Im seeing him in september so exited!!!

[@BrandenMeyers]

Who took over lead vocals while Daniel was out of commission? Was it Ragnar or did they have a guest?

[@arnauddebroissia8964]

Reply from the future, Daniel is well and giving us even more awsome music !! :)

[@HowLongsItBeen]

There's just something so extremely heavy about this song's sound that no amount of Meshuggah clones could ever hope to recreate it no matter how low they tune their 12 stringed guitars.

[@lurghoyf]

Had to check what these guys was all about. Going to Pain of Salvation/ Opeth concert today @ Sentrum scene, Oslo, Norway! \m/

[@I_am_Jordan_K]

At first I hated this cuz it didn't sound like what I wanted/was expecting: dream theater-styled prog metal. But now that i'm listening to it with an open mind i really dig it.

[@CauseMoNot]

This was my introduction to Prog metal in '06-'07? When in highschool. Then I heard their 'Be' albumn. Damn...then my older brother got me into DreamTheater and Opeth and it all made sense lol. Pain of Salvation is still #1 in my opinion

[@ΝίκοςΟικονόμου-ρ5ψ]

can't get any better than this

[@guilhermebrunetti2560]

Thank you sir! It's really good to hear someone reasonable in the internet.

[@Proghead88]

I have a feeling the same people that complain about the new sound not being as "good" as the first 4 albums are the same kind of people that get tired of their husband/wife after a few years. People change, and you have to accept that. Usually, it's for the better. Either way, it's an expression of who they are, and I think I owe it to them to find something to enjoy about it, since they obviously put a lot of time and effort, and poured their blood into this (literally).

[@IronMaidenPwnz]

the chorus of this song... so addicting

[@VincentFink]

wow, got chills at the end there...this is Pain of Salvation if there ever was, I'm going to buy this online now, I can't wait.

[@dbadgones]

I just cant stop listening to this song, it was written by God!!!

[@SagarVibhute]

Dan G you insane SOB ;) Pain of Salvation is THE musical act of the day ... time for all others to play catch-up

[@BEDiffendentia]

Pain Of Salvation are so great because they like to mix it up with genres/styles and thats why I love them so fucking much. I don't think I can ever be let down by Daniel until he release's a hip-hop or remix album. On a side-note I get such a Zeppelin feel from this song and I'm digging itt.

[@ramen_junkie]

this is the first time im listening to this song and band, and i must say, it definitely IS metal.

[@JoelLyckelid]

Really love this video. It represent the dirtyness in the song. It was what i thought it would be when i listened to the song.

[@imakhupriestly6762]

wow what a energizing song,and d video also

[@cliquemafia702]

i love this band so much

[@onlyusemespades]

saw them as support for Opeth in Oslo, Norway. now im a fan. not only do they make good music, but they play it damn well live too ^^ and lol for the guitarist that trew his pants out to the crowd xD

[@Donmegamuffin]

Listening to these because of Opeth on the 11th at Manchester! Was hoping for a support that were good. Prayers Answered.

[@Lunumbrus]

If they're to be compared, I believe it should be for the different approaches to pain that the two bands take. It's an amazing contrast, and makes them both better for it.

[@MrPedroPolicarpo]

Watched them in Portugal... AWESOME concert :D

[@nuynobi]

This song is less pretentious than some of their earlier work. I dig it, especially the twist in the intro. The chorus makes me think of solo Nuno Bettencourt.

[@iamrathercool12121]

one of the few bands that have never created a bad album! All masterpieces. Road salt 2 is genius

[@CHBeat]

Been listening to it again and again and my bet is still on a female guest-star.

[@crubutt]

novembre 1987 - The old POS is still in the records that you own. This song is a grower. the middle 8 is amazing.

[@EnochMetatron]

What I love about PoS is that every album sounds completely different from the previous one, but it's still recognizably PoS, and more importantly, it still sounds good. But what happened to Daniel's beautiful hair??

[@filmfetale8]

POS never cease to amaze me. Brilliant!

[@StickManga]

he is like the best singer ever!

[@lillhornta]

Tror det blir första gången man kommer att rösta på en melodifestivalsartist i år! PoS ska vinna!!!

[@ManosMob]

pame mwre Salvation!!!Tha ta spasoume pali stis 23 :)

[@MJconvictioncase]

I can't deny I love everything they've ever wrote.

[@j00j]

I saw in madrid, 19 nov, awesome!

[@tooneken]

Everything inside Road Salt One (included this song) is pure awesomeness.

[@TheeOutlaw]

4:10 I could play that on repeat for the rest of my life.

[@granpicci]

love it!

[@karrmi]

I love this voice! ;d

[@KallSanning]

Great song, awesome band!

[@ReoTheCreator]

I don't care the least what genre they're playing as long as it still good music. it is.

[@ThoughtyTheWrangler]

Pain of Salvation is a strong, independent Prog Band that don't need no comparison *finger snap.*

[@goodygoody23]

This is really awesome. First time I've listened to this band and it is a great addition to my musical knowledge!

[@mrfuckyourarse2269]

@shakalamon Yeah! In the HMV. just great!!

[@amarantaremedios]

Uyyy que bien se ve

[@bassgeir]

I love the sound on this EP. It sounds analog and genuine. And the song is brilliant. The music is quite different from earlier PoS, but the brilliance of Gildenlöv still shines through. I can't wait for the album.

[@bartecki8]

There are two voices in fact - Johan and Leo. You can recognize it while listening to a studio version, where one sings on the left and the second on the right.

[@cold103]

Cool stuff

[@ikofman]

Лучшая песня по линолеум, что я слышал. Молодцы!

[@ChadBillAnderson]

Yes.

[@TheTangentStrain]

Great track. Very into this latest effort from PoS.

[@IstarScion]

I have been a huge POS fan for years and this video surprised me. It is a lot different from their past stuff, but I can still hear that darkness in their music despite the mainstream sound. Hopefully this is just a phase in a journey to something even better.

[@pwnshoper]

is der a band like Pain of salvation ? i mean so soothing and lovely !! bringing out th emotions . no heavy and scream through out th song !!!

[@tusharmishra1]

yes.

[@woohoolfyama]

Gildenlow = simply genius! Come out with every other new album having a new sound, yet uniquely standing to be POS sound! \m/

[@majitogal]

Listening to the lyrics of this song you get that is not just any song, it has a deep strong meaning just like any other they have done their concepts are mindblowing and i personally beleive that Daniel is somewhat of a genius!!! Road salt is amazing!!

[@badalac]

Road Salt will be great... Good luck for the Eurovision contest!

[@rxjam21]

this sounded great live!

[@sirdje3]

i posted on an Opeth vid and the responder suggested i might dig these guys. the subject was the sublte(or not so sublte) classical influence in the better metal out these days. never cared much for comparisons myself either. apples to oranges and such. curry or vindaloo..take your pick,it's all delicious if the attention is given to the ingredients!

[@henrique88t]

Pain of Salvation is known to explore all kinds of music, from jazzy to metal, from funky to classical. And it all depending on what they are talking about. They have already talked about war, society, and policitcal, personal and philosophical issues. Now their theme seems to require this so-called "70 on steroids". But some people aren't too keen on how it sounds like. The ones who like it won't stop reminding the first ones of the fact the guys are always changing their sound. Short story.

[@SpyrosMpouf]

@Geffreyvdbos man remember remedy lane album and then tell if i hadn't took the time to listen to their cd's..and if is the same"kind" with this... thank you

[@elinay88]

Love it! :D

[@j800r]

Prog is a unique "genre" in that there are many bands that can be considered "Prog" yet each have their own unique style. Queensryche, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, PoS, Vanden Plas, Opeth, and more. The common bond that makes them Prog? Evolution, experimentation, and musicianship. They write solid songs outside of the confines of genre and have developed their own unique sound. Really, each band are their own genre. That's why neither can be compared. They ARE all prog, but they're also diff.

[@cassandrazenzo]

Eyeliner = Goody bag :D These guys are from my town where they arent so large as they are abroad ... They are GREAT

[@noluxtime]

This is the definition of something AWESOME!!!!Oh and Johan didn't switched to Gibson....it is a Flame by Mayones model!

[@potmydriasis]

They are good actors furthermore !

[@MisteriosaVampiria]

I am SO in love with Johan...............

[@LeoMargarit1]

@cybereddie84 Could you extend your brilliant analyze?

[@Fringway]

@Aniland Agreed ! I hope that Road Salt Two comes an album with a similar thema and also a similar sound to Road Salt One. I loved the 70's sound they've put in the album. It's simply amazing!

[@MCCrleone354]

I am a fan of metal music and first was interested in this band because I heard that they were a "progressive metal" band. I soon found out that they are only partially a metal band, and mostly a prog rock band. I am proud of saying that I enjoy their music regardless of their genre to this day. This vid has some strange visuals, but this song really sticks with me.

[@christineappelsinpigen]

mpravo Daniel, mpravo sti mana sou . k -

[@madnsheep]

Awesome

[@b3naan]

Wow.
