[@SubZER01993]

The most melodic chord progression (2:20) I heard in my life. I have to praise the rhythm guitarist for knowing how to execute the progression at the right time. 👏👏👏

[@assheismyheart]

YESSS

[@likTailor]

2023 still listen.... One of the best silvertein songs

[@PaulGilbertrulezzz]

You know who never gets credit? Neil Boshart. The dude has made some of the most amazing guitar riffs I've ever heard. Seriously, no one ever talks about him. Only Shane.

[@joshbadcob9089]

Foreal dude, Neil is who gave silverstein their unique sound. Amazing guitarist

[@Schoolzyschoolz]

PaulGilbertrulezzz I couldn't agree more. they haven't been the same since he left.

[@matthorgan2984]

That guys a great guitarist man

[@JuanCruzFabi]

You are so right. I miss Neil to be honest. He gave his best to Silverstein.

[@GRAG3R]

@@JuanCruzFabi I agree. Paul marc isn't bad, but he's generic posthardcore. Neil is so unique and signature... Shipwreck and Waterfront's production by Cameron Webb too.. It's perfect. Compare their redux versions. It's just not the same.. Neil was fantastic..

[@ThisSubtleDagger]

Idk about you guys, but personally, I would LOVE to see a music video for this, fully animated, telling the story told in this song. A great ship, sailing through the waters, looking for new land with more resources, and the excited crew, becoming angry over time and overthrowing their captain. And the video ends with the ship, tattered and broken, with a dead crew on the shore of a new beautiful and vibrant land. Nothing but a shipwreck in the sand.

[@Cowsablanca]

Holy crap, I've had this on repeat, in my head, for so long. And I finally found it. I absolutely LOVE this song. Thank you!

[@juss2133]

"Once upon a time, before the lakes and rivers were polluted. Before the animals were poached to extinction And before man had destroyed the earth's atmosphere, There was a great ship." Not sure why that part always gets me.

[@sus6788]

Cuz it's real

[@Revan-eb1wb]

[@user-dc5ql3jf7j]

Blames USA for industrial revolution

[@AbyssTTV]

lol the song is about a marriage that failed;the album is about a man who loves his girlfriend but on their wedding day he finds out his girl has been cheating on him with his best friend; so he burns their house down, but he can't live without her or his daughter so he goes into the house to save them, and ends up killing himself, this song on the album is the marriage "union" being broken, , (captain/crew = husband/best friend) and the ship is the marriage's bond between the husband and wife

[@metalmessy135]

Abyss and this past 2 years... I lived it... And failed 😔

[@wave4life0.04]

Well said

[@ThatOneStereo]

Holy crap... This entire time I was envisioning more like a DND perspective. The captain being the literal crew an NPC was, his crew being the ones that betrayed him. Idk I always envisioned everything about it so differently, I've been wrong all these years. 😂

[@VorrBloodoath]

I love silverstein they've got to be the best band ever the lyrics are so meaningful and incredible. By far one of their greatest songs and this album rocks.

[@marceloamaral3772]

A song about the truth behind every union. One of the most powerful songs i've ever heard

[@CJ_McK]

Im not sure why everyone thinks this song is about man destroying the planet, Ive always thought of it as a metaphor for a relationship or a marriage, where in the beginning everything's good, but as time goes by "there's no gold to be found" they have money issues and end up getting a divorce, but one of them doesn't want to, and the song is from his/her perspective. "the crew throws the captain overboard" "this union, a battle fought and lost" etc.. i dunno, maybe its both? maybe neither? thats the great thing about music, it can be whatever you want it to be

[@xShadowBrowniex]

I think its a combination of the two, Silverstein are enviromental activists, yet i feel they use their phrases as a double entendre. For example, "before the rivers and lakes were polluted..." I feel they are making a statement about current circumstances of the planet, yet they also mean "before all our insecurities and betrayals ruined a once perfect relationship"

[@daleychale01]

You are correct about the marriage metaphor as the whole album is a concept album about a failing marriage where the husband is being hunted by the law for burning down their house. Its actually a fantastic album. My favourite Silverstein album

[@sarka4727]

I dont remember the lyrics saying anything about the crew throwing the captain over board 😶😶

[@letrface_8596]

Fully agree

[@thefallensoldiers95]

what are you people talking about, this album is amazing, every album from silverstein is amazing, no one can change my mind about that.

[@HylandEntertainMint]

oh really? cause this ENTIRE album makes 1 entire story, each song is like a chapter, its amazing and has a wonderful plot, enjoy real music

[@can1beatme]

I remember this was being sold at Hot Topic. Damn time flies.

[@1812death]

This is my favorite Bed time story :3

[@davesproles2708]

I know u wrote this 8 years ago.....but I love it bro

[@sus6788]

HOLY SHIT 🤯🤯🤯 How have i never heard abt this song before I love it!

[@haidandurham8630]

I'm seeing this, and, man, it makes me so happy your discovering this. Whether you've heard Silverstein before or not, I j need you to know you commenting this made me happy, idk if you appreciate that or not, but, idk, I've listened to Silverstein since before I popped out the womb, my mom went to a concert pregnant with me, and on their 15th anniversary tour, when I was 15, I went and saw them at bogart's, the same place my mom saw them when I was still inside her, and idk, maybe it was because I grew up listening to every album as soon as it was released, or because of that, but, I love these guys so much their shit has always hit me on a different level, you appreciating this, has made me appreciate it again at 17 years old, even more, for the billionth time, and, idk, I appreciate it, thank you. I'm a drummer and aspiring song writer so this type of shit makes me happy, anything you haven't listened to yet, do it. Ik alot of old comments go unseen and this one probably will too, but anyone who gets the chance to just listen to random songs from every album the understand every album they make , is a book, it needs to be played from front to back in one sitting, needs to do it. Idk, I'm rambling, just listen, a complete stranger, the people I'm closest to, I could never say this to and hope for an understanding, just, try, and, know, that I would never put anything bad into the world, especially considering the positivity yoga brought me now, I want only the best for you, check out anything you havent heard from them, and then, go check out front to back the 18 candles album and the ep before, I wont steer you wrong. I couldnt.

[@user-dc5ql3jf7j]

Damn sailors from the old days were so brave so many great men in a crazy situation together only to end in tragedy often

[@DanceNicoleDance]

the lyrics to this song are so amazing. :D

[@suturmon]

Such a beautiful song. This fills me with such emotion, I mean I can't even begin to explain. Ah, yes, but what did I expect, this IS Silverstein after all.

[@KendallFalk]

Oh man this song speaks to me in so many ways...

[@houndoom51]

im a metalhead and i usually hate this kind of music but this song is so damn well done, i love it :)

[@matthorgan2984]

Great guitarist

[@Outmode88_music]

This song is clearly metaphorical, not about the environment.

[@acanham30]

i need this cd, its so awesome, great song too, favorite

[@gavinnewton7468]

"If you don't try you fail"!!

[@MrSanctuarys]

I remember when this album first came out...feels like last year almost goddamn.

[@aneystel01]

such a bad ass song

[@daveredfield5947]

I Love This Album, and this song is one of My Favs!

ohh yeah

[@unknownaccount8669]

"A Shipwreck In The Sand" Once upon a time Before the lakes and rivers were polluted Before the animals were poached to extinction And before man had destroyed the earth's atmosphere There was a great ship. This vessel was to venture into new waters To find new resources, to make life easier and more enjoyable. It was a simple mission for the crew Who were excited to be a part of this union They pledged their allegiance to the captain And vowed to be there no matter what In sickness, health, and possible death As time passed by, there was no new land to be found As the days grew shorter And the nights grew longer and colder The crew became more and more skeptical about the captain's vision Originally passionate and committed true and faithful They now began to revolt. You crossed the line I was honest I never promised anything Just a brotherhood to stand for something And everyone should take the lead Follow your dreams If you don't try, you fail As the mutiny started and the captain was overthrown and chained He asked them why their minds had changed There's no gold to be found, no treasure in the ground We won't die for this We won't die for you You've lost your minds I was honest I never promised anything Just a brotherhood to stand for something And even if they disagree Follow your dreams If you don't try, you fail. This dream is now A shipwreck in the sand They gave up, they made all their demands The storm consumed fifty seven souls Who died in vain, his love they stole This union, a battle fought and lost This union is not about the cause This union was never about love This union [x2] This union, a battle fought and lost This union is not about the cause The union was never about love This union [x2] This union, a battle fought and lost This union was about about the cause This union was never about a love

[@BiffDigs]

i think they keep getting better and better, this album is up-ing the talent level, if you want to call that bad then who cares what you think, silverstein is still rocking out and that's what matters, rock rock rock rock

[@origamichamp]

0:35-1:02 When you realize the metaphor and the feels hit you like a ton of bricks... T^T

[@alex2131415]

i love this song...perfect

[@skaterpanny]

im going to see silverstein in december, cant wait :D

[@sus6788]

It's been a decade for your comment. How are you now after 10 years? Still listening :) ?

[@Gurkmassa]

It's a concept album so it probably does mean something.

[@Outermainstream]

I wasn't really into this band. I liked some songs here and there but not enough to win me over. This album is my favorite by far. I may retry listening to their other work.

[@Spokenrocker]

omg this i did not think it was going t be this good omg

[@PatrickTheHattrick92]

i wish there was a video for this. would of been the best thing ever.

[@hunterstevens5413]

2022

[@harisbinshafiq]

Great song........ better than before 3 albums...

[@punker406]

If you do your reasearch this is a concept album based off a story that Shane wrote where he wanted to focus on some world issues, such as US and Canadian health care (the song Born Dead) and still stay on a good story line (I Knew I Couldn't Trust You) is about the protagonist of the story finding out his wife is cheating on him with his best friend, so this song is probably a good combination of enviornmental issue and the protagonists relationship being destroyed

[@7ySayOcean]

@Reptopia you sir have one of the greatest logic I have ever seen and thats a compliment :)

[@jerbear5212]

this is a damn beautiful cd. musically that is

[@Gurkmassa]

That is my rule for life now. It wasn't a couple of months ago since I didn't dare to try back then. But I actually thought about that quote when I didn't dare to ask a girl out 2 months ago, and I managed to ask her thanks to that. However the result wasn't what I had wished for but at least I dared to try.

[@sighswoons]

@KillerZombieCows72 Nope, the album is a concept album. The songs really about a husband and wife and she betrayed his love by cheating on him with his best friend. The songs about how his love for her "this union was never about love" he's looking back on his memories.

[@sighswoons]

@KillerZombieCows72 Nope, the song is really about a husband and wife. But the wife betrayed the husband by cheating on him with his best friend. "This union was a battle fought and lost" resembles there relationship"it was never about love" is self explanatory. THe lyrics "just a brotherhood to stand for something " describes all he wanted was to be like brothers with his best friend, but now he can't since he betrayed him by going away with his ex-wife.

[@theotherpena]

@ slayerrules86 The idea of a shipwreck in the sand is that it's completely irreversible. It kills your dreams, it crushes your plans. If your house burned down and you couldn't collect insurance, your life would literally be shipwrecked in the sand. It's a metaphor.

[@suicidalcat4604]

Very good song

[@by0b367]

@slayerrules86 Near the middle of the cd, the point of the cd changes to a family who's house burned down and couldnt afford anything. It has nothing to do with a burning house.

[@FluffskiYT]

listen to this at full volume, from 3.38, it fuckin sounds awesome!!!!!! i suggest u listen to it on ur ipod or music player n not youtube, just to get the full quality of it. Definitely silverstein at there best.

[@jezreel3883]

I like your interpretation.

[@rbrent666999]

i don't care what you people say, arrivals and departures was a good CD, and yes this one is better though

[@Skerf2]

this sounds like a mix of Story of the year and Rise against

[@1994Optical]

this song rules , =')

[@edrickz101]

The ship = relationSHIP :O It all makes sense to me now.

[@ItsTolerable]

Guy found wife with best friend. Guy decided to burn house with them in it. Guy love them both so he couldn't leave them. Instead he joined them to die with them. I'd tell more about this album but, the characters in the comments are limited >:C

[@lllllbutch182lllll]

tnx for uploading ^^

[@TheAlex409]

Every album tells a story just listen to it carefully or look up lyrics.

[@SKRTS]

how could some1 thumb down this song?ooomeeegeee

[@hoe0what]

this voice really reminds me of boysnightout album trainwreck, the voice and the same concept of a story in the album. overall amazing album, love silverstein :)

[@RichardLinks.Official]

Nice ☺

[@houndoom51]

I get to see them for free on march 8th ;) haha but its gonna suck to sit threw the other bands becuase out of the list playing that night, i only like Silverstein xD

[@Morrisseyyy]

I get it, symbolism though... makes perfect sense.

[@xBoyBrushedRedx16]

PLEASE PELASE! someone PLEASE GET DECENT TABS FOR THIS SONG PLEASE!

[@Tonnolin]

Saw them live and liked them so im looking for good songs of them. Any Advice?

[@The123Metronome]

If you saw them in the past ~5 years, the songs you'd like the most are: My Heroine Call it Karma A Great Fire The End Massachusetts These are my favorites, at least. Hope you enjoy them too.

[@kabztunes]

The entire "This is How the Wind Shifts" album.

[@KingThor128]

Silverstein is one of those bands that I can never pick a single favorite song, because there are so many that hit so close to home. Most of everything from their new album is great, make sure to check out I Will Illuminate from the Addendum too.

[@Blehblehbleh-w8b]

this entire album and "call it karma (acoustic)"

[@nothinglessthanpain5436]

[@Unklesam7]

it sort of is. hey, i love emo/screamo/hardcore and all that stuff, but i'm not the least bit emo.

[@OppeltDrums]

arrivals and departures was okay, a few songs stood out, but over all, it's better used as frisbies :)

[@jeezsan]

haha ilove the chorus....nice song for me..^_^

[@ziggymaster45]

The difference with animals, man is that they take only what is needed to survive, humans have taken from the environment so much we've almost brought our planet to the brink of destruction, the difference and sad reality man's greed has overcome his need to preserve his home

[@jayburriswayne5403]

Ziggy_Wolf00 it's a metaphor

[@Grungedude93]

good intro

[@SlyVillin]

I use to listen to this song thinking it was all about the Captain's words over his crew, and that the crew could not do it any more. I have a GF and my best friend just got a new one, and his GF and my girlfriend have been fighting this whole week. I understand what this song means now. Its not about the Captain or the crew. Its about the ship. No one asked the ship what to do. No one one cares about others when every one thinks they are right.

[@harisbinshafiq]

@Nateman400 agreed

[@BT2907]

parts of the song are the same like the end of "the end" right? ^^

[@surviveRAWR]

@HylandEntertainMint Just like Alesana's The Emptiness album its all a big story.

[@korytyler21]

@Maplepelt12 Silverstein should bring you to lights, not the other way around =p

[@Garagefool]

WOW this song is awsome, and i usually dislike stuff like this!!

[@Dabomb09funk]

why does it repeat the same words at the end of this and the end? has to mean something, dont know...

[@taylor189]

@HylandEntertainMint what about the covers...

[@TheKaurajuoma]

This song hits me deeper to this day than ever after seeing my friend (who was supposed to be a drummer in an all ex fosterkid band for current fosterkids who've got hella problems but nobody in music to get them and do music for them I was trying to start that we were gunna call C.O.D.E.N.A.M.E.: C.R.I.S.I.S.) lose himself with the rest of us to triple c's and ended up stabbing him. After that this song is the only one that brings me back to that period and it was my therapy and to this day still is

[@Nick24Abuel]
