Silverstein - A Midwestern State Of Emergency (Official Music Video)

Merch: riserecords.mer...
iTunes: smarturl.it/sil...
I am a dead man, I’m crawling into a trap.
A horizontal response, I'm laying down for you once again.
You've taking what's granted.
I've said goodbye to my friends, I've thrown myself headfirst into this. Close the curtain and strand me.
Found myself lost again, with even more excuses, and even less concern.
Bound and gagged but I enjoy it, you seduce your prisoner before you take your turn.
So lay me down in the field and put me under the trees in the tall grass, where they won’t find me.
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens they come back screaming, taking me away.
I’ve given all I can give so don’t let me
go back between Woodward and Cass, cracked concrete and broken glass.
This run down block with my name in lights.
Your saving grace, my final rites. 11 Miles from where I was when I conceded my head, embraced my lost control.
Innocence in a state so pure, you hear the demons calling to take back what you stole.
So lay me down in this field and put me under the trees in the tall grass where they won’t find me.
Enjoying silence and peace until the sirens they come back screaming, taking me away.
I lost a piece of myself, and i forgot to slow down and just breathe and it’s scaring me.
I’ve given all I can give so don’t let me go.
I am a dead man and It’s the only way it can end.
I don’t know who’s side I’m on anymore and there’s no starting over.

When you see people commenting saying Silverstein is a new band... They've been around for over 10+ years!!!!

[@nomargfan661]

15 years, actually. :P

[@PhoenixDog2160]

nomargfan661 15 years is 10+. You're both right.

[@Natsumi170]

nomargfan661 15 years is over 10 years.

[@OppeltDrums]

[S]unjay NO FUCKING SHIT RANDY

[@juanlagos1212]

I feel old

[@johnuhls1085]

I really feel like Silverstein is one of the only "post hardcore" bands that have continued to put out great and very successful music since they started

[@FerdodoxW]

well successful is a very relative word but Senses Fail is still awesome

[@robmorritt4669]

Was...until Buddy came out then it became about gay rights, not the music.

[@FerdodoxW]

yeah I know.. I still love their newest record

[@horizonrises]

Yeeeah senses fail was similar i love their old songs lately!!! especially"your cute when you scream"

[@geoff3610]

john uhls dance gavin dance? It could be argued that they're not post-hardcore though...

[@Reaver1223]

no one's talking about how beautifully written this song is. Shane must really know what it's like to deal with depression and still have a craving to be successful. i wish this song had come out when i first started college.

[@trentbosnic]

***** This whole album is beautifully written, there's like 2 sub-par songs, but every other song is incredible. I don't understand how they are so consistently great.

[@buggsghostx6044]

When I went to one of their concerts he mentioned it's about Baltimore

[@trentbosnic]

Enema Of The State Great name you have there :)

[@tenshi1648]

+Enema Of The State That kinda ruined it for me because it's soooo very accurate to depression/suicide. :c

[@camillegonzales6084]

+zman 1122 I wonder how Woodward and Cass fits in to the theme of this song? Is there something bad that happened to Shane while he was there, leading to write this song? For me, I think this song describes how anxiety/depression feels like :)

[@dimagi7864]

This song has saved my life several times. I dont want to elaborate, but its gotten me through many dark times, I love you Silverstein

[@phillysfinest215]

❤❤❤❤

[@tymaster33]

I’m glad you’re still here. Always keep fighting 🤘

[@datnerd2819]

Me too bro it’s my favourite song by them

[@Togoladen]

A band that truly knows how to stay by their roots but yet sound different on each album. Been a fan since 2006, and they never disappoint!!

[@vincentalonzo9252]

Silverstein has yet to disappoint me. I don't think they ever could honestly.

[@TheMasterMindGirl]

I was fortunate enough to see these guys around 9ish years ago. My son wade loves this song. Kid headbangs in his car seat. Mama taught him well.

[@samanthariley5306]

Shane is the man. Silverstein has always stayed true to their sound and they will always be one of my favorites.

[@ThatYellowPokemon]

How to convince someone to buy an album immidiately: Release this.

[@Ranonization]

Silverstein still going good after all these years. Fuck yeah. Respect

[@youwerradoptedlol5091]

1:37 IN A SENSE, LETTUCE TASTES SO PURE!

[@GingerJon93]

This is why Silverstein is my favorite band.

[@benamaki25]

Shane Told's lyrics are pure poetry. I adore his lyrical ability

[@urmumgeh4200]

Started listening to them when I was like 8. (Thanks to my brothers). And now 10 years latter They are grown adults now. Just crazy. I remember the emo look they all had. Now they are men. Like MEN. Crazy. Love this song. And love Silverstein.

[@phill1583]

I still have memories of listening to Discovering the waterfront on the bus ride home from middle school with my 2006 emo cut. Fuckin love you guys 9-10 years later

[@TheWhighet]

Been listening to Silverstein since I was in 5th grade, and still listening to them at 17!!! GO SILVERSTEIN!!!!

[@ruthlentz7436]

Silverstein will always fill a void in my life, thank you Silverstein

[@Sully-hp4ec]

For anyone concerned, when he mentioned "Woodward and Cass" he's referring to streets in Detroit. It's known as a very poor area. There are abandoned buildings there where "tall grass" grows and they always find bodies there from homeless who go there to sleep in the winter and don't wake up. It's a pretty sad area. Anyone else from Detroit here feel free to add :)

[@AshleyDeaton1230999]

Also from the Detroit area. When he says "11 miles from where I was" I always imagine him traveling up the mile roads for some reason.

[@nathanantilla5713]

@@AshleyDeaton1230999 His 'name in lights' is referring to the board outside the Fox Theatre, which is between Woodward and Cass. I've been trying to figure out where it is that was so important that was 11 miles away from the theatre, and the best I could come up with is that there's a bunch of recording studios in Royal Oak. Maybe he's referencing recording their first album, and making concessions for the sake of fame?

[@alternative_action]

This song is insanely catchy.

[@rogergoza3180]

Easily THE BEST Silverstein song ever

[@ScotchTapeMafia]

I just find it hilarious how the drummer looks completely relaxed and reserved while playing, lmao

[@skyeskelter]

I just went back to watch him and couldn't stop laughing

[@chelsearubino6418]

hes always so chill

[@jfelias91]

The melodic line of the chorus is a thing of beauty, and the volume surge/scream at 2:30 is splendid.

[@coltonfrausell9047]

"This is so generic." Silverstein helped put post hardcore on the map in the early days of the genre. The reason this sounds so generic is because so many bands copied THEIR sound. Silverstein pretty much invented the "generic" post-hardcore sound.

[@cut-offproductions]

No they didnt

[@anthonydavis899]

So did Thursday, Senses Fail and Story of The Year

the fact that he has gotten better and better with age makes the old stuff so much more satisfying to see live, shane has made me cry repeatedly with his live performances

[@Trevorizsick]

This album was so underrated

[@DrivinHanyou]

They never ever disappoint and they are literally the only band I can say that about.

[@AzureFabre]

For those people who doesn't appreciate this song, try listening numerous times and you'll eventually found yourself listening to this song over and over again. Cheers for silverstein!

[@KelseyLemus]

Been my favorite band for years.

[@Brendan2011slayer]

Silverstein is the greatest thing that ever happened to post hardcore 🎸

[@respaar380]

You know. For me, Silverstein always has the nostalgia feeling. it honestly feels like i've listened this song in middle and high school. not saying that its not new. its so fucking good i cant believe it

[@acohen575]

I am NOT ashamed to have this on repeat

[@jonathandiamond6107]

RespaarTheWolf it's the kind of breakdowns and sing alongs that bring me back. I love it.

[@jackwasjmansk8r]

These guys never really change much but it's a really great formula that they have.

[@Dylanland234]

The best comment i've seen on their newer stuff said "Dad-Core" Seriously. I've grown up with this band since 2001

[@lemayandroid18]

[@OsrsSxvi]

This album was so underrated. By far one of my favorites.

[@Mitchsstrange]

6 YEARS WITH THIS BAND , SILVERSTEIN

[@MikeK313]

Dear KZbin, I am 21 years old. Have been listening to Silverstein since When Broken Was Easily Fixed. That album dropped in 2003. I have been listening to Silverstein for 12 years in total. I don't give a crap if new kids listen to them. That's just more fans and another generation of a badass band. Stop complaining people. Enjoy the music. If you really knew Silverstein they would see your comments and be extremely disappointed in some fans; you guys know they're like super anti bullying? Yet you have their fans at each others throats because you didn't listen to them when they were underground. Piss off people. Sincerely, A true Silverstein fan.

[@boogyymann1]

well said ^_^

[@squirmulationstation9194]

Damn true. I'm glad folks are still enjoying some Silverstein!

[@shiftshaper1]

You were 8/9 when you started listening to Silverstein? Press X To Doubt

[@joshuasalvador4706]

They still got it. Thankyou guys

[@arvenzllanto5545]

We are alive in every song they make!

[@CVBAudio]

Honestly I've never been disappointed with anything they've released.

[@Thefutra2000]

Waiting for scene kids to think they are some new pop punk band and start fan girl-ing over them.

[@MigratingPig]

I am too, whatever it takes for them to get out there, getting a bunch of teen fan girls like this band is going to revive this genre, and bands like 5SOS or 1D won't get popular.

[@prevails85]

Hahahaha lol

[@Clovislac]

Best comment.

[@pandagod7062]

[@jessechuff]

Definitely. However, I do miss the old "emo" sound, but I guess they change.

I can listen to this song all day

[@joshuabreedlove6600]

20 years of great music now

[@davem4086]

Fuckin ay. Still killin it. I listen to them almost every day

[@carlkinsey93]

I feel like if Silverstein released this song on any other record label they'd be showered with praise for it.

[@juventorrwes7509]

I love silverstein! 2019??

[@anthonyf44]

MY CHILDHOOD IS BACK! AHHHHHHHHH IM SO HAPPY

[@uraniumjoe]

I remember the first time I saw Silverstein at Warped a few years ago. At the end of the day, when we were leaving the show, we walked past Shane. He was talking on the phone, so I didn't want to interrupt him. But he looked up, and I made a heart with my hands. He nodded and smiled, and that alone made the whole day worth it.

[@TheUltimateVoid]

im glad to see these guys making music after all these years

[@TrappedInMusic]

I remember when we were all skinny teens and Silverstein were a new band. These days they have more polish, but the same, familiar style and that's why I still love them

[@robrobison5334]

Been listening to this genre of music for years .it really just brings you back when you here songs like this great job silverstein

[@treasuredcollectibles]

DAMN Silverstein still rocking it?!?!??! From first album to the newest.... finally a band with some integrity and consistency... Thank you for keep rocking throughout my lifetime! I've supported you guys since day one, actually have bought 4 tickets to two of your different shows and both times had to cancel last second because I couldn't find a ride out to you... Hope the money still found its way to you guys to support you. Really hoping I catch you at your next show somewhere out here in Southern California. Thanks so much for the great music, and never stop the singing AND screaming. I know it takes a lot of work to do, and I appreciate you Silverstein! Awesome instruments too, guys. Amazing work!

[@jmail2232]

15 years later Silverstein still putting out siick albums. One band that NEVER disappoints!

[@thomaswhite2700]

Sooo I'm 26 now graduated high school back in 2006...been obsessed with these guys since I heard "giving up" friggin God forever ago lol first real relationship I had in 2003 ended horrendously in 2006 and Discovering The Waterfront album truly saved my life cuz it was the end of the road for me n I was either gunna kill myself or someone else n didn't know what to but that album helped me cope n I ended up persevering and just got over everything and I am so thankful I had a filter and something to relate to...thank you so much silverstein I'll see you at the palladium in Massachusetts and celebrate such an amazing album that helped me get thru one of the toughest times in my life...love you guys keep on rocking you got a die hard fan over here from Rhode Island 😊

[@rriejack5684]

Exactly the same with me with the girl troubles, man silverstein make everything better haha.

wtf I graduated in 2005 and i'm almost 33 now lol I was never held back.... oh this was commented 3 years ago nvm lol rip me still I was fucking 30! thats 4 years ahead of you for one grade ahead? wtf did you skip a shit ton of school?

[@austinmaskell1333]

15 years later and still Never disappointed by these Guys

[@Lbcyoung]

Silverstein is a living proof that bands don't need to change radically their genre as they grow up. They can still modify many technical components of their music, but the basic musical framework remains the same and still sounds awesome. Silverstein almost never disappoints and although I don't think their last album was their best, I can see that the new one will be way better.

[@alternative_action]

Greatest band of all time.

[@akashbond1]

How many Shanes do you want in the video? Shane: YES

[@GamerChex]

Forever the best band!

[@Risespunk]

I will say what everyone else is saying already: I love this song and this band!

25 seconds in and im already in love with it

[@brandonsnewthing]

Nothing beats an original! Feels like 2005 and damn I feel old.

[@aaronferguson2445]

Just before you comment how this is generic, go Google Silverstein's discography, look how far they date back from when When Broken is Easily Fixed was released or even further back like Summer's Stellar Gaze, come back and then listen to the song and shut up and tell me how they're a generic band when they were probably one of the many bands that helped shape what you dudes call "post-hardcore". Rise should actually be honoured to have them on their roster compared to half the crap metalcore they release nowadays. So many great records under their belts, and hoping this one is no different.

[@markhickman606]

Been listening to these guys since 2005! Stoked!

[@holyshizzleitsconnor]

Never would've thought that after listening to them in fifth grade that I would still be listening to them in college. Awesome!!

[@ShadowSlayer978]

That sucks bro, I still do.

[@DEATHxFROMxBELOW]

I lost those to but once i saw them live I got them back

[@musicilya6674]

I don’t care what anyone says. After 20+ years of their career, Silverstein is one of the few remaining bands, which: 1) still exists without ever breaking up 2) hasn’t gone into pop sound (yes, Silverstein is not exactly the same band as it used to be, but name one band, which hasn’t changed completely over 20+ years of its course. I bet that you’ll not find any bands, which have stayed exactly the same throughout their careers) 3) has most of its original line up 4) still has amazing live performances These are the reasons why Silverstein is still my favorite (number one) band. I’m extremely tired of seeing complaints about their newest albums starting from A Beautiful Place to Drown. YOU CAN’T EXPECT THE BAND TO WRITE SONGS/ALBUMS IN THE SAME STYLE AS THEY’VE BEGUN 20+ YEARS AGO FOREVER! THEY WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW AND YOU CAN’T BLAME THEM FOR THAT! To be honest, I’m surprised that Silverstein hasn’t decided to try something new for 20 years. JUST PLEASE LET SILVERSTEIN TO BE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO WITH THEIR MUSIC! BE THANKFUL THAT WE STILL HAVE THIS AMAZING BAND!

[@EliasSmeeus]

Holy shit, these guys are still playing??!! They still have the same old sound and feel. This is amazing. Used to be one of my all time favorites.

[@joevassalo6875]

[@jordanleigh8826]

I love this song! And who cares if it doesn't sound like silverstein. What makes them good is the fact that they can be innovative and try different sounds and still have them be kick ass songs.

[@SilversteinRescue]

YESSSS!!! FUCK YA SILVERSTEIN. they never disappoint. But seriously Rise, it is SO ANNOYING how you start playing clips of other bands at the end of your videos. Ruins the moment after I just listened to this amazing song.

[@darshtronica]

It's annoying that Rise has to go and try to put a monopoly on every band of a similar genre. Like yeah, Silverstein are gods but its the same label as almost any and every fucking metalcore and post-hardcore band of the past decade.

[@danleroux92]

Emarosa are great

[@Starvingpuppies]

I don't want to say you're wrong because you can have your opinion, but everything you said is the opposite of how I feel. This Silverstein song is disappointing, Rise definitely should advertise other bands on their label, it would be a waste not to, and I've never cared for Emarosa but I think their new album is the best music they've ever made.

[@bibe6908]

Starvingpuppies that's too bad man! I know that feeling of disappointment. I personally love the new song, how bout' you give it a few more listens? Maybe it will grow into you! The exact thing happened to me when i first heard TIHWTS as a whole.

[@kimberlyr8804]

Dear Silverstein, I love you. I don't understand how people are saying this is generic. Silverstein was at the forefront of this "post-hardcore" movement for years. To me bands tend to sound like Silverstein, rather than Silverstein sounding like the others. These guys have been apart of the scene and my world for years. If your going to hate go elsewhere and leave the real fans here to enjoy the music.

[@GetScaredGaming]

Seeing these guys live was fucking incredible, I actually just discovered them because my favorite lesser known local band was opening for them haha . amazing band, they keep playing the same style without getting stale. In fact my two favorite songs by them happen to be "Smashed to pieces" off their first release, and "on brave mountains we conquer" off their latest one. This new song sounds amazing as well. Ladies and gentlemen, this is post hardcore at its finest.
