Spiritbox - Too Close / Too Late (Official Music Video)

[@Rick_B52]

A HUGE thank you to Rise Records for exposing me to so many different bands. At 47 I am amazed how much awesome music is out there not getting radio air time.

[@BrentAC]

Rise Records has sooo many good bands!

[@beezybeez4207]

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘

[@deadferns5]

good music doesn't get radio air time..not to mention radio is dead.

[@driftless7134]

Radio is dead.

[@vohas2691]

Just heard this on Sirius XM Radio 😉

[@pugdomination]

Something I love so much are the recurring motifs throughout the EP. “Too close too late” appears in Jaded, Too Close/Too Late and even Ultraviolet. There are references to a “Crimson key” and “velvet sky” throughout many songs. A “conduit” is referenced in both Cellar Door and here. The lyrics “I know where I want to go” in Jaded, Angel Eyes and Too Close/Too Late get changed to “You know where you want to go” In Ultraviolet. Cellar Door, the first track, talks about “closing the loophole” while the video for UltraViolet, the last track, is literally a loop. You can also hear the same guitar work in he bridge of the Void at the end of Ultraviolet, and more. It’s super cool how much work was put into making the EP so self-referential. Another reason to love Spiritbox.

[@endofmyself]

Also something with an hourglass is recurring in the lyrics

[@EvilMammal]

That, my friend, is called story telling.

[@TheDSasterX]

They were hoping folks would catch on to this ;) They discussed it in a recent interview with Nik Nocturnal. It's a lowkey/unmarketed concept album

[@Kinshinobi]

I knew I wasn't crazy about the crimson key thing

[@primaryaccount7626]

You can also hear "too close too late" at the end of The Void, which caught me off guard after hearing it so many times without noticing that at all.

[@chokovok7231]

I’m convinced this whole EP was an excuse for Courtney to try on different outfits

[@slavicwarrior7277]

She would look awesome also if she had and trash sack around her

[@Wachankeinysuhijohacrecido]

Yeah, and her clean voice as well

[@phill8712]

This is my favorite song off the EP, for sure. love the vibe , droning bass, palm muted guitars, clean vocals, and beat fills.

[@Walaubagaimanapun]

same!

[@TheCvltMedia_]

soo stunning and such a great band

[@mvmhunterkiller]

Her voice is awesome, different pitches as she sings, compared to their angel eyes song where it was heavy but sounded very monotone in her voice.

[@JJDon5150]

This song is awesome. Feels like they took a lot of inspiration from Deftones with all their melodic, but heavy clean vocal songs.

[@beezybeez4207]

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🎶🐺🤘

[@terrycroucher3633]

Every aspect of this song is perfection. The entire EP is incredible. 53 years into this life and I continue to hear music evolve and stir every single emotion I am capable of feeling.

Respect

[@SomeBlackGuy]

I felt like nothing could top Circle With Me, but this song is absolute perfection. The melody and ensemble of the chorus is 100% satisfactory and I love the simplicity of the bridge. Nothing fancy, just jamming with beautiful chords. This is stupid good song writing.

[@sanbornolsen]

100% one of the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life, an unbelievably talented group of musicians.

[@jwhitloctombraider]

The story telling is amazing. Almost like going through a trauma and ending in a resolution. “I know where I wanna go, but it’s too close, and it’s too late this time.” Ultraviolet: “You know where you wanna go. Never too close. Never too late. There’s always time.”

[@absurdhero144]

I read this as she sang it. It's not too late this time. I still have time....

[@piiik3]

she is represeting the trauma of our souls being locked into the simulation.

[@ThisTimeTheWorld]

Very Alanis Morrisette

[@coryhattel8527]

Yes! I liked that resolution in ultraviolet too so much more after hearing this masterpiece. I heard jaded and ultraviolet first.

[@marklewis4664]

Been stuck on this song for couple days. Think It's one of their best songs..you guys fckng rock much love and respect from south Texas

[@Magdalena8008s]

Love it when a band makes a video for every song. I get it, videos are expensive and a reason exists why they don't. But I think this was a perfect EP to do so with.

[@mauricioibarra4505]

Got bored with metal 20 years ago. Came back to find this new wave of bands carrying the torch and proving something that Dio and Black Sabbath always knew: The heaviest riffs work better with melodic vocals

[@matty6146]

same af dude

[@vanadar00]

I typically don't like the whole clean vocal with heavy riffs. It often is only done by European bands like Nightwish and awful, dreadful, terrible... well they're European so they don't know any better. Bottom line is, that usually is what ruins it. This. This doesn't let us down. But it's not European. So that's probably a huge reason why. Sabbath I never cared for, always thought their recordings sounded dreadful (even remastered) and honestly.... Twist 'n Shout by The Beatles "sounded" harder than anything sabbath ever recorded. I dont know why. But I do miss Randy Rhodes sound. Dio....man, if you like it, respect to you. But I'm also going to pass. I just decided to leave the classics in the past and look at them as rock, not as metal. They rocked so metal could run. 👍

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

Backup vocals from Josh between 2:35-2:57 mark. You're welcome!

[@leonardocarvalho1614]

[@Skagb0y]

check out a band called Static Dress from the UK. They really are going to be thee biggest acts of our current generation & in many ways they have. Everything they do is DIY (singers a cinematographer), write the lyrics, the lore, makes all the merch plus is extremely hands on in the recording session. I swear theyre a post-hardcore band like Underoath when they released they're only chasing safety & define the great line, the band members are only early 20's but you'd swear they were as old as Finch & Glassjaw! You'll love it! (note: i am by no means in this band but when their career started i got talking to all of them online & they're as real as they come. Also they signed with Roadrunner Record but told them "we will not sign this deal unless full creative control. Roadrunner were hesitant cause they had just lost Slipknot & needed something that the kids are going to love & follow for a long time so he caved & gave them whatever they want. Also Olli the singer is best friends with all of Loathe & A LOOOOT of the British metal & hardcore scene so the bands connections are wild. I'll be seeing them this sunday then i get to see them again, bad omens & bring me the horizon all in the same night!!. I feel a feature of both BMTH & SD collab, it's inevitable. Olli Appleyard & Olly Sykes have an extremely amount in common, personality wise, music everything! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXyYnaWGoN2Yoqcsi=Yfjj-kh1ZD4XS1Xb please give this Static Dress song a listen, the visuals & director were done by the singer whilst unsigned.

[@The_DropBear]

im slightly obsessed by courtneys vocals, her cleans are incredible and the growls are on par with the cleans. she gives me goosebumps

[@pauldm5222]

Probably their best song in their upcoming album along with Jaded. Spiritbox was always on the top of my playlist. Love that they evolve on every album. 🔥

[@beezybeez4207]

Ive been obsessed with this song ever since the EP dropped and I just wanted to say that the instrumental during the chorus absolutely blows my mind. I wish I understood music better to explain how cool that bass guitar and drum combo is, never heard anything like it.

[@pedroluisvela1224]

Concuerdo con el extraño

[@TheOwlQueen]

This is what I've been feeling the entire time. The sound of it is somehow so solid and comfortable. It stirs some emotion in me that I cannot name.

Thankful for your music and the metaphorical storytelling that comes with it. Ever since the self-titled EP. Everything serves a purpose.

[@sfjnstvnz]

The urge to comment on something is very rare for myself, but this is simply way to good to stay silent… I was pretty bored by most of the current releases in Metal, but thanks to Spiritbox my faith is restored. There is a beautiful sadness and hopefulness about this song that caught me right away. Outstanding. Please never stop making music. You’re the best Metal outfit these days. The aesthetics, the sounds just play seamlessly together. It‘s ridiculous. I love your whole vision and how it just feels huge to witness every single output. Thank you. 🖤

[@temubarrackslawyer]

This is the best one off the EP. Some of this band's songs are stupidly criminally underrated.

They have a wide range. Hope to hear all three live in less than a week. 🎉

this should be getting the millions of views, but I'm in a way selfish thankful this band isn't as huge as it deserves to be, that gives a common folk like me more of a chance to see them live.

Mainly because they stay so true to their sound. They dont take risks, and even when they do, it doesnt sound like anything else except Spiritbox. They have such a unique sound that cant be replicated.

@@ItsSauIGoodmanthey definitely take some risks. compare self titled to rotoscope.

[@ItsSauIGoodman]

@@AlleviateWoW yeah, I was saying that even when they do, they keep that Spiritbox sound. A lot of bands step outside of the box sometimes and lose themselves. Architects is a good example, then theyll release a heavy song as a fuck you to people who dont like their new stuff lol

Just once in a lifetime a band comes along and changes everything, Spiritbox is that band...let's discuss how perfect they are.

[@rickpearson7943]

This song should be just as big, or bigger than Jaded. It's SUCH a great chorus, so catchy. It amazes me how radio stations don't play newer rock music. Or if they do, it's just music from old bands like Metallica. They'll play the latest pop music but the rock stations are always so outdated. Why is that? Not that it really matters because FM radio is mostly irrelevant these days but I digress. Everyone says SB is huge now etc but if views on KZbin are any indication, they still haven't cracked near any sort of mainstream success. They have one song with over 10 million views and that's over 2 years old. Sleep Token appears to be more successful than SB at this point. Both are great though. I really wish bands like this could reach beyond the hip scene people and tap into mainstream. Rock music is severely lacking in that dept these days.

I feel alive again Started with the fear of falling Into an hourglass Voices in the void are calling Wrap me in your arms Waterfalls, endless as they drag me down into the dark Of it all, can your heaven help me? Is this the end or is this the beginning? There are stranger things I've learned on the outside Separated by an open door I find it hard to reach the end of my timeline Salivating 'cause I wanted more Is this the end or is this the beginning? Am I allowed again To call out what I need to hear? To be a conduit Conditioned by the fear of fear? Wrap me in your arms (Waterfalls, endless as they drag me) Down into the dark (Of it all, can your heaven help me?) Is this what you want me to be? Perfect and clean Float on a temporary Empire built in a day To throw it away And now I can tell you, there are Stranger things I've learned on the outside Separated by an open door I find it hard to reach the end of my timeline Salivating 'cause I wanted more Is this the end or is this the beginning? I know where I wanna go But it's too close And it's too late this time I know where I wanna go But it's too close And it's too late this time There are stranger things I've learned on the outside Separated by an open door I find it hard to reach the end of my timeline Salivating 'cause I wanted more Is this the end or is this the beginning?
