[@austinhennrich8588]

I'll never understand why so many people take issue with Spencer's singing, his vocals are perfect for Periphery.

[@Waffles-ne4yi]

I love his vocals like 90% of the time but they sound just a little whiney at some parts. but everything else is so good I just look past it

[@x0scimy0x]

I think on this album, the only way anybody could complain about his vocals is MAYBE on Catch Fire, because Spencer really shines there and some people simply don't like when he gets all poppy sounding. I still love him lol.

[@blueskythinking4745]

The vocals on this song are perfect because it's how he sung on p2 but with the juggernaut stuff and some parts on this album the vocals don't sound right. Like sometimes he puts so much emphasis on the words his singing whereas this just feels natural

[@DeFySniping]

The people that don't like spencer are people who have no ear for singing and no musical tone themselves. Which is why they prefer screaming. Spencer is one of the best vocalists(if not the best in terms of range) in the industry today. Haters will hate.

[@TundraCH]

Completely agree, Spencer's vocal range is so dynamic and even if you hate him the instrumentals more than make up for it in spades

[@TheNormanduartetolle]

When you have a favorite band, it's not just because they are cool or have a great music. It's because when you listen to them, you feel like you finally find someone that can understand you. You feel like you have a friend. It chills you. It brings tears to your eyes everytime you listen to their songs. Thank you Misha, Jake, Matt, Spencer, Mark, Nolly.

Been listening to this song for a week. It's beautiful.

[@SpookyStorkRunningWild]

it's my favourite periphery song ever by a mile. best, i don't know, i guess they have matured since this

[@lane3574]

This and Reptile are their best in my opinion, however I do think reptile edges this out because of the amazing key changes halfway through and the sheer variety of the guitar work.

I just found out today that Spencer Sotelo of Periphery is the same Spencer Sotelo i hung out with over half a dozen years ago at a local waterpark in my city. I had no idea he was the singer of Periphery. My mind was blown as soon as i found out. I'm glad im able to call him a friend.

[@poptart1471]

You should try to contact him, that would be neat to know for sure.

[@vanjabi8827]

That's super rad lol

[@akiraadkins8799]

[@closinginonclosure]

You can hardly call him a "friend" after spending time at a waterpark. You were clearly in a group and ge was there. You didn't even know who he was. The biggest thing in his life is his music career and you didn't even know that. That's hardly a friend

[@TallerThanTitans]

Misha's spoken about disliking writing solos, but his solos are always so perfect to me because they scratch an itch I didn't know I had. Does that make sense? They're exactly what I want to hear - not what I'm expecting. And this solo is no exception. The right amount of yazz and mmmmfffffff.......

[@xXxThelegend27xXx]

“I hold one last feeling of hope our paths will meet again” 💔 I hope they do

[@phantomtoast5747]

That bass at the start is incredible!

[@jeromecaldwell7152]

For anyone who cares to read: I'm sure peripherys lyrics have a specific meaning for the ones who wrote them or one whatever, but the way they are written most the time is very open for interpretation.. and we all grasp at song meanings to fit our plot but for me these lyrics resonate with losing yourself 2:35 - 2:51 especially then followed by the "will we meet again" line.. "I'll be waiting, beyond the edge forever-frozen now time stops again" "revelation" even the solo plays into the theme. This band has changed the core of who I am over the years I remember in high-school hearing the line from jetpacks off p1 I think it was? "In a world of infinity sewn, percieve beyond the seam" that shit rocked my world and I'm ever thankful for it. This is what music was meant to evolve into, passion and raw emotion used to express thought provoking ideals vibrating their way to your core. Not memes, not malevolence but the "human spirit" transcribed into frequency

[@JoshBrown190]

That ending with the piano is just fantastic

[@dreaminginnoother]

[@LukeZuniga]

5:07 is so amazing. The switch back and forth between C minor and major creates a state of constant tension. Beautiful. I am so glad of the way this album turned out. This song is one of the best---right behind Motormouth

No fucking words for this. I literally got tears streaming down my face over that 'if only I could rescue you' part. it's SO gut wrenchingly beautiful. I feel like I got fucking smashed by a train of feels. Damn, I wish Spencer would do more of this soaring, less hooky P1 sort of melodic singing because I feel like his voice is made for it. So much better than his usual poppy singing style IMO. I'm so blown away right now.

Beautiful isn't it?

[@Oh_its_Mike]

What does that mean? Everyone keeps talking about old Misha riffs and old Misha songs. I confused.

[@mrmuffinz126]

+Longrod Von Hugendong This song was made around or before the creation of the first album by Misha as a demo.

[@Archaeologist]

Misha put out over 100 instrumental demos on Soundclick before P1 was even released. A bunch of these ended up on their first album, and each album since then has also featured extended versions of some of those old demos with new vocals added on top, such as Make Total Destroy, Have a Blast, Froggin Bullfish, MK Ultra, Motormouth, and this.

Why is this outro such an explosion of great memories, of times i was happy, of times of when i felt serenity and glory and just happy to be alive? It's like a film in my mind of all great memories and just makes me calmer. You can truly feel the sense of glory. I feel like Periphery should just make a side project of just ambient tracks, they are so good at it.

I cant help but to feel that Spencer is really aware of the gift and power that has been given to him and realizes what must be done! An energy radiates outward deep within his words i feel the heart of A man realizing im just a man.... everyone must question the view we each decided to see life from. Question ourselves even if that question is" Did i love her at all? Im not so sure cause i dontt see a difference. Was it love at all?"" Question our actions and truly ask if they make sense at all.....
