Paramore in Pomona- "Fences" **RARE Performance** (720p HD) Live on August 14, 2012

Recorded at Paramore's long-awaited return to the stage at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California on Tuesday, August 14th, 2012.
I'm sitting in a room,
Made up of only big white walls and in the hall
There are people looking through
The window in the door
they know exactly what we're here for.
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from,
Don't you know by now,
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.
If you let me I could,
I'd show you how to build your fences,
Set restrictions, separate from the world.
The constant battle that you hate to fight,
Just blame the limelight.
Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.
And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile.
Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.
And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide.
Yeah, oh oh open wide,
'Cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.

I appreciate that the camera person filmed the whole band not just Hayley.

[@masteraxe789]

Me too

[@xcv-qc6so]

I think so

[@erob9446]

yes very awesome dude

[@GabiCardial160697]

Yes, I miss the "old" Paramore, but it doesn't change how much I love the band. It doesn't matter if it's punk-rock, pop, I'll always love them and their songs. Paramore will be legends!

Gabriela C lol I bet you look back now that after laughter came out and rethink 😂

[@gabbie8284]

she's so bossy and sassy and I love her

[@nicoleclifford6737]

I swear this has got to be one of the most underrated songs ever. I just spent the past hour replaying this song over and over again. The drums isn't as good as it was before cuz Zac is gone. I miss the Farro brothers and if the ever happen to have some kind of reunion. I will travel across the damn work to see them live.

[@zozo18885]

So will I!!!

[@j0061]

Nicole Clifford He's playing the drums the same way Zac did...

[@dhoney8585]

ZAC IS BACK BUDDY

[@Laura-qe8df]

so have you seen them live since?

[@eriebear1]

I always think about the reunion and I always tear up. In our perfect paramore world, it is possible.

[@alexistheweak6841]

I wish they would make a music video for fences.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

The purple otaku trash can I’ve had an idea for it since I first heard it.

[@camila12519]

I understand how some people might miss how the "old" them but they were young and and new and had so much to say. But they will always be PARAMORE the band changed the rock world forever :')

[@josephs1414]

She looks hot. And when I say "hot" I mean drenched in sweat hot. The other meaning goes without saying...

[@JC-vv8zn]

hahaha

[@Rodrigz_Julio]

yeeah man, true !

[@arcticedge2022]

I think the place itself was hot but also, the lights on you all the time would do that. Being nervous also contributes, I think it’s a lot of factors. Edit: The whole band was sweating. I just noticed.

[@joseygerrard3554]

This song is so underrated

[@Etiima]

She's got good stage control. She knows how to work the crowd. Love her

[@ielizabethm2]

Hayley's voice is so much more mature now when she's singing this song. Oh nostalgia.

The drummer steals the show :)

[@axelcrisostomo713]

wow....THey are amazing as ever... Guys, let me tell you this.. PARAMORE never Lost the Spark!!!!

[@adib3072]

UNDERRATED PARAMORE SONG

[@byrgaby]

because everytime they wanna play it in a concert, hayley ask to turn off all the cameras... for the crowd can have kind of a privite song. That's what she said in paris ;)

[@subconscioustraveling5765]

The drummer looked like a vampire.

[@ravenmadden4009]

he freaking did lol

[@ghouismsalt]

I'M DEAD HE DID

[@junejr3558]

Damn y’all know vampire 😱🥺🥺

[@jade-chan3291]

Fences was one of my favorite songs from that album.

[@notoriousbee7442]

I love love love this song. Still listening in 2021.

[@heyysimone]

Ive always loved the bass line in this

[@brunju97]

Cause they don't perform that song very often, plus when they do they sometimes ask the crowd not to record it so it's more intimate

[@musicmaniack256]

At 4:00, Taylor is playing alongside his brother Justin! :)

[@fighting.sickness]

that was so cute

[@jordzbomfield7255]

Her stage presence is just so up lifting!

[@daniellelilley5349]

Hayley is soo perfect

[@TfrPsychoDAn]

I love Paramore, I remember Misery Business hit radio for the first time

[@itskimforkim-yi]

I understand how ppl are like I miss the old Paramore and I do myself miss this but music is changing and we're living in the era where pop is just 2015 and not 90s or early 00s nothing we can do about popularity of pop music.

[@HanniaFavela]

goosebumps. I miss Old Paramore

[@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth]

Bitch this was only 2 years ago

[@eilyk1180]

Shut up you, and go listen to shitty one direction

[@aubreyx4326]

***** well according to hayley we must move forward and evolve. Maybe u should try that thing called "move forward" too and quit bitching around and saying u miss the old paramore bc they wont.

[@aubreyx4326]

so r u saying that the self-titled album was a trash?

[@aubreyx4326]

***** oh ok that is your opinion. I respect it but for me it was actually good. The album is what paramore is right now. They just changed their genre I think? :)

[@jbriones]

you can see how the guys enjoy the drum playing of this man :D

[@mcrmerblackstar]

They sound soooooo good live. I freakin love them

[@doiehan]

one of their best songs off Riot

[@autumnwilliams8194]

I'm a fan of 5 years now, and I love old and new paramore. Hayley looks gorgeous as always.

[@lilly-annenunn3400]

love this song live its so amazing

[@nathaliabandrea]

I am so happy that they're playing older songs! I missed fences, whoa, and hallelujah :)

[@JustVibing4now]

this song made me love the word obvious

[@Sudaka_rtes]

Coincidentemente, YT me recomendó este video exactamente 10 años después desde este concierto!

just because weve all idolized hayley at one point, doesnt mean she has to stay the way you like her. she is a human too, and she can change however she wants, and she will always be amazing
