Sorority Noise - "A Portrait Of" (Official Audio)

[@Reggie_Jay]

My brother sent me this song during a very difficult time in my life, that was the first time I ever felt truly close with him. Even now this song never fails to bring me to tears. Thank you Bryant.

[@gurneyhalleck7678]

I had never heard this band before. I am older in truth, halfway through 41 years old at this point But then I heard Blonde Hair, Black Lungs randomly And I was blown away, more than I felt about a song in several years for sure And then I heard this song, and it started out just as great And then the ending hit, and I found myself weeping uncontrollably Also in a way I have not in years Idk what more I can say in all honesty. I am simply very grateful this band exists and that I found it

[@julioboostamante1]

Literally me right now at 43 pulled over, crying, wondering why I feel like this and why I can’t stop crying ….

[@theactualworm9316]

you are a king, keep that damn head up or youll keep dropping this 👑

[@rockingreject]

They make me cry, Like I love the fact that I've found a band that can make me do that but the lyrics are just so fucking real that it reminds me of my life and the troubles I'm going through. Thank you so much for making music that means so much to not just me but to everyone else. I love you guys so fucking much.

[@Faerienice]

Same

[@epicgamingrevolution2935]

rockingreject Its cathartic to know others struggle with the same issues you do. It's important to recognize the problems you have with yourself in order to accept yourself and learn to overcome them. Easier said than done in practice though.

[@user-ng4cy2of9b]

I can’t be open enough with this song let alone this comment.

[@matthewrobinson7780]

I love em too man, like I get so depressed and just jam out to them until I fall asleep.

[@dextergardner9100]

I've been feeling suicidal And if I need remind you It's not the coming of my heart and my brain I was thinking about how great It would be if I could make the tightness in my chest go away It's been a while since I've seen God And I'm not trying to lead him on But he's always trying to fuck me To the tune of my favorite song And they're playing the '59 Sound in heaven While the angels were drinking up whiskey and cokes It's hard to freeze your anxieties When your best friends' torching your coat Your coat Drop that phone drink a glass of water And call me when you get in your bed I've seen inside your head And I'm doing the surgery on the parts That still wish you were dead 'Cause I've lost too many friends So I'll say it again and again And again and again And again and again And again and again 'Cause I've lost too many friends So I'll say it again and again And again and again And again and again And again and again I'm not trying to say it's easy But I'm trying to say it's fine I've still got your demons And they're not gonna be leaving any time Any time soon Any time soon Any time soon Any time soon I'm not trying to say it's easy But I'm trying to say it's fine Since I was thirteen I [?] and I had a difficult time comprehending the things that I wanted to be and I lived a very happy life and I was turning eighteen and I was doing everything I could to try to make myself feel better but I felt an absence, I felt like I needed to die, I felt like nothing existed and I felt that I wasn't worthwhile breathing the same air as the ones I loved and my family, and then it came to the point where I started losing friends who had the same fucking ideas as myself but I have to be strong and I have to live my life as a continuation of theirs lost and I have to do everything in my fucking power to be the person that I can be and live my life the best way I fucking can and some days it's so hard to fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand

[@brandonphipps_PP]

I'm pretty sure it's something like "I've dealt with manic depression", I can at least hear the phrase "manic depression" for sure.

[@Faerienice]

Thank

[@dudemanguy1882]

Good people exist

[@mossharness9220]

When ur 13 yourself this song just hurts too bad

[@Jacob-df5hr]

I'm like 90% sure the line is "I've been feeling suicidal and if I need remind you it's not _becoming_ of my heart and my brain." The line then becomes a criticism of the romance of mental illness in the scene, which is very on-theme for Sorority Noise.

[@Lost1nLife]

I haven't had more suicidal provention hotlines come up trying to find a song.

[@miless.827]

I felt that so hard

[@waldenwonders]

😂😂😂

[@rachelroth2150]

The suicide prevention hotlines are a joke in this country

[@lightspeed4173]

​@@rachelroth2150💯

[@capybaraville]

​@@rachelroth2150 they are in most of the countries

[@rebekahbreun6193]

I showed this song to my friend because I knew he could appreciate every word of the song. I was right, he listened and was very moved. We can both relate to this. I love and appreciate him a lot.

[@uwukahshxishqbizia1527]

This band has helped me get through my hardest time in life 4 years ago I call them my ‘healing band’ because I listened to them whilst I was healing from my toxic thoughts and growing into the person I am today They were the only band that I felt a connection to And many people on their videos feel the exact same way There’s a deep connection between all of us Now they’re my happy band despite their lyrics and meaning, even their most suicidal songs bring joy to me because they literally are part of my history now And I just wanted to say that if you’re going though a hard time, that it won’t last. It will not last even if it takes 2 or 10 years A happy day is waiting for you

[@LoobLap61]

I'm happy to read this! :)

[@jonasbulota7789]

cheers man!

[@BlckMrket]

Don’t kno why it took me so long to find theses guys but holy hell I haven’t stopped listening since I found them. Specially no halo that one hits me

[@bobbirdsong6825]

[@evanage]

this song saved my life and continues to save my life. i can't thank this band enough for what they've done to help me and so many other people

[@stoneroses9350]

Just discovered this band thanks to Spotify and OMG that last part hit me so hard, I wasn't expecting it at all. Cheers

[@kkkatsuki]

same man. i cried to it so many times, but, it also seriously helps me feel better.

[@ethan-5n58]

[@卂尺卂-t3e]

[@goodnightmoon]

Depressed Introvert same

[@KLLERSK-uh1fv]

good night moon same

[@stupidfriendstheory808]

Are you the Jim Bogart from TFB?

[@ethan-5n58]

Maybe a Band yeah

[@cjfast11]

the background vocals during the chorus sound EXACTLY like the background vocals in jude law and the semester abroad

[@Mongeration]

This song is littered with references to other artists. The part you mentioned, the reference to The Gaslight Anthem (the 59 sound playing in heaven), and I'm almost certain that the outro is a reference to Attaboy by Say Anything.

[@cloudyrosesz6278]

They also sound EXACTLY like the voices in my head

[@ranyjayrelativo3913]

Dealing some tought times and silent battles thanks to this music as always sorority noise 🖤

[@nickanthropocene6502]

This band is seriously underrated

[@tough5125]

Truth is more to be discovered by an individual, not by a whole country.

[@tbhren]

SO TRUE AND THEYRE LEGIT SOOO GOOD 😩🥺

[@justinecunanan]

Definitely hear the Brand New influence in their sound. Maybe that's why they're growing on me

[@pavolguacamo6712]

jstncn3 exactly my thoughts!

[@FabulousKilljoy]

Yeah, same! This is my second Sorority Noise song, and all I can think is Brand New.

[@grindcorejazz1392]

Brand new and gaslight anthem love child

[@joshuagood3994]

Playing with citizen and Oso Oso was the best day of my life and the best concert I'll ever be at.

[@Plvgues]

Me and my girl of 3 years just ended shit. The outro as sad as it is helps me with the pain. The past couple mornings been real rough tryna stand. Wish these demons would just leave 😔

[@citizn-xh7rv]

Hope you're doing better 🖤

[@beechelse278]

THIS ALBUM IS EVERYTHING! I LOVE EVERY SONG.

[@ozelman1000]

Life is so hard right now, but this band makes it a little better, i hope to get this level of insite into myself one day

[@uhmsirmeows]

the last minute of this song is SO good. it literally sounds exactly like my thoughts when i’m upset.

[@00gabilima]

this song makes me cry every single time

[@gabrielleshaffer1959]

Love this song still, so much. 🖤

[@yahstino]

Good lord this song hits so incredibly hard right now

[@clockWorks10]

[@BikesAndBridges9]

Sorority Noise IS as AWESOME as I think

[@JamesDean-nx2nq]

I love this band.

[@itiswhatitis9084]

[@pvtppsmols69]

[@xianwatts4352]

Bailey J I feel that tho, hope u good homie

[@avay7165]

[@TheShezarrine]

This album is so fucking great.

[@daa5865]

it hits harder when you haven't lost them yet but you know you will.

[@krystaharris32]

Idk how I ended up here but wow I’m happy

[@sophiewennekes7548]

ultimate love for this fucking song

[@blank3214]

Holy fuck that's amazing.

[@darthInsanius]

Can anyone make out what he's saying at 2:21 on? I can make out bits and pieces, but not the whole thing. Thanks for uploading, btw!

[@meggregory5437]

Omg someone tell this person so I can also know.

[@darthInsanius]

+Meg Gregory So I have been looking online and finally found this. It is missing just one spot of the lyrics, but finally, we have most of it! Since I was thirteen I [?] and I had a difficult time comprehending the things that I wanted to be and I lived a very happy life and I was turning eighteen and I was doing everything I could to try to make myself feel better but I felt an absence, I felt like I needed to die, I felt like nothing existed and I felt that I wasn't worthwhile breathing the same air as the ones I loved and my family, and then it came to the point where I started losing friends who had the same fucking ideas as myself but I have to be strong and I have to live my life as a continuation of theirs lost and I have to do everything in my fucking power to be the person that I can be and live my life the best way I fucking can and some days it's so hard to fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand.

[@meggregory5437]

Dude thank you so much!

[@brandonphipps_PP]

I'm pretty sure it's something like "I've dealt with manic depression", I can at least hear the phrase "manic depression" for sure.

[@darthInsanius]

Brandon Phipps ah, I thought it was mad depression, haha but manic depression makes much more sense

[@Chofa.doodles]

This song reminds me of late night drives

[@willardgrey7328]

"I haven't seen God in a while, I don't wanna lead him on, But he's always trying to fuck me to the tune of my favorite song" That hit waaaay too hard

[@claauuddiaaxtc]

this song describes my life to a T, so happy i found this.

[@samsanti7449]

fuuuuuuck so good

[@livinglikedirt]

new fav

[@ryanjohnsen514]

great song I was wondering how great it would be if I could make the tightness in my chest go away.... ....my kids are still are still so young and I feel so old and tired....I can't....do it....can I.... I'm not trying to say it's hard...but I'm pretty done with it all. Peace and progress all!

[@kaleighard8668]

The end reminded me of sleep by mcr

[@FabulousKilljoy]

How tho

[@taina-pr]

new dope

[@peenusweenusyeenus]

Shoutout to my bipolar friends, you can do this

[@patrickdutton6768]

holyfuck

[@jardindefloress]

heartbreaking outro

[@mr.salesman8758]

I miss you so much. :'(

[@christianperez7846]

I never burned your property, but I've felt as much as the subject. "Since I was thirteen I’ve dealt with manic depression and I had a difficult time comprehending the things that I wanted to be and I lived a very happy life and I was turning eighteen and I was doing everything I could to try to make myself feel better but I felt an absence, I felt like I needed to die, I felt like nothing existed and I felt that I wasn't worthwhile breathing the same air as the ones I loved and my family, and then it came to the point where I started losing friends who had the same fucking ideas as myself but I have to be strong and I have to live my life as a continuation of theirs lost and I have to do everything in my fucking power to be the person that I can be and live my life the best way I fucking can and some days it's so hard to fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand and fucking stand" We find ourselves here. Who is left?! Stand for them! I know it's hard when loss plagues you. What is your morning? If you lack love, you stand on two to find it! If it's yourself, you stand brave in representation of solidarity! It's fucking hard. But hold fast and strong! Remember your breath. It was there all along. Hold fast and steady. The world will see and envelope you. From that point, forward, experience love. Live and be. I know it's hard. But give yourself to the truth, and count those with you. People love the truth. I hope your family is at your side. Your friends and your girl/guy. Because "Here we go!' In to tomorrow. Who is it, there, that gives YOU purpose?! Who is YOUR muse?! May they carry you. And those they lack, never fret. Your muse is YOUR life. Never die! Always try! People see it and wonder why.

[@r.a.d.d.a.d.7903]

[@chilly307]

Thank you

[@Sadboi_Rook]

For some reason I thought the lyrics were "It's hard to hide your anxiety when your best friend's torching your coke

[@kippysmalls7992]

Negative Creep the ones definition of anxiety lol

[@kaleighard8668]

Same

[@daddylonglegs3420]

i thought it was "its hard to freeze your anxieties when your best friends torching your coach"

[@Helen56789]

This song is saying goodbye to your friends in middle school on the last day of school.

[@travisr1720]

My girlfriend made me learn this song on guitar for our best friend that OD on fen. 3 years later she OD with her sister I'n my car. This song chews me up guys.

[@leechmiilk]
