I was 13-14 years old when I saw this MV. Fell in love with them and decked my myspace out with their album. Now I'm 28. I feel like crying cuz I miss those times and I'm kind of drunk.

I know what are you talking about. Those days 😢

I don't know you but I like you

[@WALLYDRAG502]

I remember when I was 9 or 10 hearing the one armed scissor video from at the drive-in right after one step closer by linkin park. In 2020 we have... I don't even know... music is so bad right now...

[@emaheiwa8174]

@@WALLYDRAG502 check out Thrice. Also Sparta released a new album this year

[@DrLangly]

So good, so underrated, so under the radar. If you know, you know.

[@IanBrown-qo1dv]

dontrunmusic I was a HUGE At the drive-in fan... But when they split I preferred the Sparta material.

same! seeing them at a small bar in san diego tonight :)

[@bennyperez3770]

they need to be known, this is an amazing band

[@j.d.buchanan4897]

This is simply one of the best rock songs ever written

[@yo2stix]

I saw them 2 nights ago in Santa Barbara. Incredible. Only 50 people. I felt so bad. But they are true honest artists and filled with integrity. I like them even more now. Jim is such a solid sound soul. Blessings on you all.

[@CG-el9yf]

I saw them in Chicago about 8 yrs ago. They were amazing! Such a shame that they don't get the recognition they deserve.

[@naomipisciotta1524]

They played in my area last night but my car is in the shop so I couldn't get there. So bummed.

[@aplus1080]

I don't think anything is really advertise anymore. Sparta has always been underrated though. Jim f'ing slaaaaaaaaaaaaays.

[@AlecChalmers]

Just seen then on the Wiretap Scars 20th anniversary tour and there was a decent turnout. People still appreciate them here in the UK!

[@JustinVachon]

They just did a cross Canada tour with Moneen and I saw them on Monday in Vancouver. They still fucking slay. Sparta Forever.

[@aphex_twinkie]

PORCELAIN is one of the best rock albums for the 2000's!

[@gilbag]

YUPP - While Oceana Sleeps is on my Shortlist for Greatest Song of the 2000's

[@EonPictures-jw9yr]

Agreed

[@davidtatro7457]

Absolutely agreed. This song hit the radio and l ran out to buy the album. And it turned out this was the worst song song on the album. And it's still pretty damned good all these years later!

[@kirflaska]

I don’t listen to them that often. But when I do, it’s like 20 times of each song on repeat. So so so so good. Feels sad to be born in Russia and never get to see them live.

[@benfrank8649]

Sparta and Mars Volta should make a super group together

[@bryandegenais3106]

Youre joking right lol? That would be at the drive in...

[@timt8925]

Lol

MY HOMEBOYS! SPARTA FROM EL PASO TX

[@beanzz6906]

Yeah ikr

[@SoupFormifamli]

Sparta is still some of the best alternative rock that this century has heard (namely Wiretap Scars and Porcelain).

[@delmondsnipes2102]

Yes I love this group I saw them on MTV late night. I have their album. I'm African American. 🙋‍♂️👌

[@beiseboes]

Who cares man, it's not your fault your American.

[@delmondsnipes2102]

I was just being honest 🤷

[@beiseboes]

@@delmondsnipes2102 I couldn't resist making a witty comment, good listening man

[@rogermarin1712]

We all saw them late at night on mtv

[@grishingrigory5021]

oh, men... I'm a great metal fan, especially death's. I searched for Control Denied's "Breaking the Broken" and bumped into this track. And I really love it!

[@aplus1080]

Sparta can be heavy. Used to have a job in 2003 where I'd alternate between Sparta (wiretap scars) and converge (when forever comes crashing).

[@dakotacook4407]

I'm glad this song pops in my head randomly even after all this time.

[@Mineav]

Don't know how anyone couldn't like this song. Great tune.

[@GeckoPixel]

Sparta was the best half of ATDI. Jim Ward is so underrated.

[@davidk7575]

Jesus, what does it take to break out if these guys couldn't.

[@user-se7hx3mr9x]

Jim has a great voice

[@NoJoshinJoshy]

Man.. I was a big ATDI fan and when they split. I felt Sparta was the good guys and The Mars Volta were the villains.

[@channelkerr]

Great track! Just re-listened to Wiretap Scars for the first time in YEARS... wow! I think it must've had a major influence on me. I was (hopelessly) drumming along to burnt CD-Rs, probably Mye and Assemble the Empire with a discman! I also jammed a lot to Cataract and Echodyne Harmonic on piano. Jim's voice is so unique too, it should be preserved!

[@Chick777]

Jim is a beautiful man with an amazing voice

[@josecarlosramirez8715]

Mi juventud se fue volando descubriendo el valor de la vida, de la muerte y de la necesidad de realizarte dejando y atrayendo nuevas personas, pero las canciones se quedaron y suelen volver.

[@learningteacher9386]

so much better than anything on the radio or touring around the world right now.

[@hyperbolic-time-chamber-strand]

Love this song is a hidden gem.

[@ginofanconi9]

Finally after brainstorming I found the song I was looking for. Couldn't remember the name of the band until today.

[@redfiveroe1138]

Just remember "This is Sparta!".

[@SalishCreeBeauty]

How could I almost forget about these guys?!!! Love their music!!!!

[@chrisriley8755]

Sparta is beyond words surreal

[@Astro_Thvnder]

Best song ever, it just gets you so motivated and ready for anything.

[@ZoniansSeries]

This is Spartaaaaaa!!!!

[@TheZombout]

it's crazy to know they can break up and make a good band each. they were all too talented.

[@kualer]

Recuerdo cuando vinieron a México en 2004, compartiendo escenario con Puya, Ill Niño, Ministry, Deftones y KoRn.

@@deprivedwinstinchurhill I love mars volta music. I had most of their Cds, but it was kinda hard to get into them after Amputechture cause idk...Cedric's vocals we're trash after a while lol.

On a holiday slow motion sets its pace And it makes me pray for capricorns sweet face Our lives get tangled up in progress Falling short on life's test When all that matters should be me and you And you say it's not ok Despite our life you cannot stay And you say you're not ok Romance postmarked holiday Well I can't explain how we made it this far And you should know, only you control my heart Feelings overshadow reason, blocks out everything And all that matter should be me and you And you say it's not ok Despite our life you cannot stay And you say you're not ok Romance postmarked holiday I wouldn't trade what I got Not for anything And you say it's not ok Despite our life you cannot stay And you say you're not ok Romance postmarked holiday On a holiday...
