The Wonder Years - Pyramids of Salt (Visual)

[@rasjeff1]

If someone ask you what poetry is, you show them this song. This is everything music should be: pure emotion and passion.

[@meganhanna1558]

Just show them this band in general tbh.

[@danieltallo8137]

Gotta say, these guys have come a long way since "Wouldn't it be cool if we were astronauts?" I'll admit, the first single left me a little underwhelmed, but this is something else. It's loud yet melodic, familiar yet ominous, and has Dan's A+ lyrical imagery as always. I'm so pumped for the rest of the album, and I absolutely cannot wait to hear this banger live.

[@pedrovizcarra5520]

the lyrics man the fucking LYRICS, DUDE. ahhh this is so good.

[@codymorgan8643]

Soupy poured his fucking heart out for this one!

[@HitchhikingHatbox]

They keep pushing farther and farther into new territory I love it

[@sadbreaddog8661]

i saw them live yesterday and they opened with this song and i swear everything was right in the world for 4 minutes and 42 seconds

[@lukesmith1521]

This song is beautiful, considering that this is after No Closer To Heaven it's some how more tragic, the powerful chorus, with the lyrics and music all mixed together are simply Incredible. I am so glad that I get to enjoy this music as it is coming out, and I look forward to seeing them in April when they come to Glasgow!

[@ilaias_]

Where's Glasgow? Yes I could google it but why not asking you?

[@lukesmith1521]

Elías Figun It's in Scotland!

[@ilaias_]

Thanks!

[@b.howard4526]

The Wonder Years have become my favorite band. As a gardener I love all the metaphors and allegories they make alongside vocal emotions I feel in my heart.

[@marissawebb8250]

The weirdest thing about the wonder years for me is comparing where I was in life to no because I got into them during my formative years- when I first listened to the Upsides I wanted to kill myself and thought life would never get better but now I’m listening to this while nursing my newborn son and watching my husband play with our dog. Life is weird and it strangely does get better regardless of what I thought then.

[@meganhanna1558]

That is so beautiful. I'm glad you're doing well.

[@jeremygripentrog3953]

This comment hit hard and im so glad to hear you are doing better!

[@christinawong345]

Your story hit me hard and I'm really happy that you held on and because you did you created a beautiful present for yourself. Not to mention you have a beautiful baby boy. :) Sending virtual love.

[@blackhaircurse]

:')

[@SarahTerror]

This warmed my heart. "It's not about forcing happiness, it's about not letting sadness win"

[@matixx9180]

They took such a theatrical approach on this track and I love it. The emotion in this song was portrayed in such a “show don’t tell” fashion which was super effected. I couldn’t be more exited for this album!

[@camsheet4649]

The lyrics are sooo brutal and eloquent at the same time. I am so thrilled for this album. This sound is infectious and I want so much more of it.

[@nateryan4416]

How and why do they just keep getting better and better? It almost makes me mad about how amazing they are. I’ll love this band forever.

[@dylanglogowski805]

Nate Ryan they always say they won’t release an album until it is better than the last 🤙🏻

[@madisonparis2303]

YES you took the worlds right out of my mouth boyyyy

[@hannahi-5478]

Agree agree also Nate mates og here🤙

[@gesitmutiarta]

bracelegs?

[@nateryan4416]

Gesit Mutiarta yep 😂

[@BlakeMcConnellMusic]

i love all the new sounds the wonder years are pushing with this new album between the title track, we look like lightning, and this. this album is shaping up to be a really diverse one with a ton of different angles

[@ManTheRampartsBaby]

My greatest accomplishment in life thus far has been discovering the wonder years. Also, I am hard. Thank you.

[@polanito7467]

í'm in tears. How can this be so different yet so great... The lyrics are so touching...

[@angelicarayo9858]

The Wonder Years never fail to come out with a great song. I'm loving this new direction they're taking with this album. Looking forward to getting this album in April

[@p00123456789]

The major change for a second is so good the whole thing is great I never considered this band as a pop punk band because it’s much more than power chords and leaving a town with a Pizza but these last few albums have cemented that even more what a great band

[@marin4352]

This band has quite literally transcended pop punk and have become something so much bigger than themselves.

[@maurorimoldi5981]

This song came in the perfect moment. Like if you knew all was gonna happen to me these days. Thanks for for being our moral support and bringing us real strength. I'm so stoked with the new album

[@victorrrdls]

Can't even begin to explain how happy the song along with the visuals at 3:53 makes me.

[@Roller120]

victordls yeah homie, I feel you completely

[@mikaylatherose326]

This new sound is so amazing. This newest single is some of their best work yet!

[@madeleinep.828]

I could probably watch this visual all day.

[@kt-wd5im]

those Charles Bukowski "Bluebird" vibes in the second verse... goddamn, these guys did it again

[@MrBandini27]

Same thought here.

[@THRASH3RZz]

i picked a great band to be my favorite band. 7 years of my life and i’ve yet to be disappointed. the amount of growth these dudes have made amazes me every time a song comes on. from singing about steve erwin and being a land pirate to this. wow. thank you guys!

[@enviyatar]

Literally on repeat, this tugs at my heartstrings

[@sliverfreak9]

This was one of the first songs I ever heard from the wonder years! In early 2018 on Sirius Radio's The Emo Project. Now, they've easily become one of my favorite bands! ❤

[@sarahenke4135]

I'm seeing them again in a few weeks. Every show is amazing, but I'm really excited to hear some of this album live.

[@eboethrasher]

Wow. The Cure influence poking it's way through, and I LOVE IT.

[@robertkilgore3662]

My birthday is April 6th. Album comes out April 6th. I'm stoked on it.

[@jxomxo]

Get Stocked On It!

[@brandonmcdonnell3082]

My birthday is April 5th so I believe we are both lucky. Haha 😁😁

[@aylaviktoria8910]

Sameeeee

[@typhoon37351]

Best birthday gift ever?

[@anthonyweston5588]

Mines the 10th. Best early present ever.

[@OtherGandhi]

I was doing good to not be sad but this pulls at my heart strings

[@meganhanna1558]

It's not about forcing happiness; it's about not letting sadness win.

[@Opkilla96]

Like the last song they released they keep pushing their music to new places and stay relevant it’s awesome!

[@syphertheskydragon7170]

Negative or positive, people are entitled to opinions and in mine, I think I just found my new favorite TWY song

[@Sam-jy5tf]

This had to be the next step in the history of TWY and I'm as excited as I could be. This song is completely incredible.

[@megh6538]

I love the change in the music at 2:04 😍

[@momonspanky]

So stoked to meet them again in may. I'll be getting my copy of Sister Cities and my limited edition Burst and Decay EP signed this go around.

[@Meekishone]

I'm so glad I pre-ordered this album. This song is just pure poetry

[@TomGroommm]

I played this to my two year old daughter the other night. I tactically coughed through the swear words. Not only did she dance around the room but she turned it up and said “AGAIN” when it’d finished. Cheers lads for that special 5 minutes 👍

[@kimmiityler]

This might just be the most beautiful TWY song ever

[@hof8231]

I love how much TWY matured as band all the way from the rarely-spoken-of Get Stoked On It to Sister Cities. Everything aged really well, yet the sound has changed so much. I get worried when a band I love who is driven by emotion 'grows up' but I think The Wonder Years are handling it perfectly.

[@Morrigan_The_Raven]

As a recovering addict, thank you for the music.

[@creeker2017]

Everytime I listen I get more and more excited for this album

[@thexneo]

Just drunkenly bought the pre-order album with the crewneck impulsively that is like 60 bucks - thank god for tax returns. cant wait for that pup to come in. killer chorus.

[@joesmiljkovich1350]

My friend Cate either went or goes to Cal State San Marcos. Def a pop punk queen. She showed me this song and it’s one of my all time favorites. She’s electric ⚡️

[@davidmitchell-baker1701]

Holy shit. I love The Wonder Years so goddamn much.

[@bribri5458]

Somehow just discovered the wonder years recently because of this album. All I can say is I'm very impressed. Awesome sound

[@johncarlin5473]

Lyrics: I saw you hiding in the ivy I know you're too afraid to call They're getting ready for the winter here They've gathered pyramids of salt You saw them having trouble breathing I know you think that it's your fault I saw you hiding in the ivy Keeping quiet through the fall There's a bird inside your rib cage He screams so I never forget I wanna break open your sternum I wanna rip him from his nest And sow you back up like a garden Growing flowers from your chest There's a bird inside your rib cage I keep trying to forget I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again I saw you hiding in the ivy Watched the night start to decay And you wonder in the morning who's gonna drag The sun out of the lake You move gently off the sore spots I can see that you're in pain Everything left in the light here long enough Is someday gonna fade I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again I drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again We're so vacant These bodies Collapsing So gracefully And I love you And I'm sorry And I understand if you blame me And I'm helpless And you're drowning And I'm beating at the water here so desperately So desperately I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again I drew a line in the sand with these goddamn worthless hands I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again Don't wash me away again

[@TheOneWifNoUsername]

I saw this song live. I almost cried. It was so emotional screaming along even tho I could not hear myself.

[@Al-hu1yh]

I love the lyrics, like damn. The sound I'm sure will grow on me (sister cities was really good) I'm so stoked to see you all in May (the day after my birthday)

[@stanger963]

I just had goosebumps for 4 minutes and 42 seconds

[@hunterford962]

The hype I have for this album is unreal! This band just keeps getting better 🤟🏻

[@cologne9900]

lyrics are out of this world. really dig that you guys are experimenting and expanding your sound.

[@ThereforeIAmSam]

I'm excited for this album and to see them again which I didn't think was possible. This is incredible.

[@camsheet4649]

I’m so in love with this

[@nicholaswilke2228]

Best so far for the album

[@maurorimoldi5981]

and I'm helpless and you're drowning and I'm beating at the water her, so desperately so desperately by far the best lines

[@Mrpolonog]

This is so aesthetically pleasing

[@cantalopepizza1159]

This is so grown up, and I’m living for it. Keep it up, TWY. 💕

[@murdockown]

2:03 so well done

[@StephenIC]

What a lovely song

[@purpl3spri7e]

Time to preorder the vinyl 😎

[@SkyGuysQuest]

Stephen Rodriguez this will be a fantastic album to have on vinyl there are so many elements to it

[@MidKnightBlue]

Those drums around 3:32 !

[@Monolith64]

That bridge is incredible

[@CameronSpanos]

Im so happy i pre ordered the vinyl. This is incredible

[@paradigm4686]

Im blown away, this is so good

[@jakej654]

absolutely insane

[@CUTmEimsick]

♥ dan's voice

[@DandD4884]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE TINY LIFE

[@rawrimaoctopus5715]

I'm loving the new album not lost anything

[@chadshipman7869]

It’s finally Spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sfmikica]

Wasn't expecting to be this good after Sister Cities!

[@csajklasklsfa]

I love the wonder years so much

[@maressaalencar2765]

This song is amazing.

[@countesschewi2399]

Wasn't sold on Sister Cities... but this? This has grown on me.

[@RoguePlanetSounds]

Dan has some really overlooked lyrical capabilities.

[@ALICExLYRICS]

When the second verse hit I started bawling. I currently have a metal bar in my chest to try to fix my Pectus Excavatum. They cut my ribs in half and placed the bar in so hopefully my ribs will heal into a position as normal as everyone else and won't be crushing my lungs anymore or pushing my heart too far to the left. Until they remove the bar I'm in pain most days. Of course its a lot better than the first couple months with it but there are still days I don't wanna leave my bed. Sometimes I try to forget its there and sometimes it works. The person who loves me the most is happy that this bar will maybe help me but he's also mad that he can't help me and sometimes can't even hold me tight and sometimes I just need a good hug. Idk why but the second verse just kinda hits me hard even though it was probably written about something completely different. It reminds me of conversations I've had with my lover.

[@thedriftingyogurt]

At least your not dead

[@lemxntxrt]

SO. GOOD.

[@garasunonamida]

Beautiful!!

[@dietricklamade7417]

I mean it's no keystone state dudecore but glad you guys are evolving and going your own way.

[@lovenotegestapo]

dietrick lamade as a born and raised PA native, that classification made me snarf my Yuengling. Thanks for that :)

[@dietricklamade7417]

Anna Koneski I'm from eastern PA and I grew up jamming to these dude. They've changed alot but are an amazing band with great people in it.

[@willm5032]

I'm just trying to get better abs by windmilling, cos I feel like a bitch doing pilates

[@Sogodof]

Wouaw, j'adore ce nouveau son!

[@arabellaa22]

wow. so beautiful

[@lunalove9395]

wow this is beautiful!

[@miamarsden4045]

I'm not sure if I like this more than "Cigarettes and Saints", but this is really, really good. I'd say this reminds me a lot of Alter Bridge's "Calm the Fire" in that both bands used a calmer opening and then went with an explosive chorus and somewhat explosive verses. Oh, and both songs get better the more one listens to them.

[@dirtbagjoegames5888]

Wasnt on this album hype train, but that all changed hearing soupy belt these songs live.

[@RufflestheKitten]

Great evolution. This song is making me obnoxiously emotional though.

[@blackanchors7202]

great new song guys

[@nem6952]

This and We Look Like Lightning are two of the best songs you've ever made. This album might go on to be better than No Closer To Heaven, which I didn't even think was possible. Holy fuck.

[@Swizzlethizzle]

This is great and all, but when are we gonna get the song from the teaser?!

[@andrewcavallo1877]

Swizzlethizzle The Ocean Grew Hands To Hold Me, yeeep one of my favorites

[@reyronu]

This is beauty, through and through. I've always been iffy on The Wonder Years outside of Cigarettes And Saints; nothing really sold me and got me attached to the band but holy fucking shit this song has turned that around for me.

[@UpgrayeDD7]

Is it just me or is 2:02 the best part of the song

[@voidtofillNC]

Cole Shea not just you, best part of the entire album. Best part of any song of 2018 so far. The feels never fail to overcome me every time.

[@voidtofillNC]

Correction, the bridge to the song is what i am actually talking about😂😂

[@naryanclaudy2116]

Amen!

[@stephenr465]

A very evolved and intelligent sound

[@lelanddyke8386]

I could absolutely be wrong in interpretation, but to me, "Hiding in the Ivy" means "Dissociating with an intravenous drug habit" and it hits pretty different that way

[@LPNAlexander]

Soupy, pls. My heart can't take this.

[@MatthewHedgesEntertainment]

This is amazing

[@kevinpstapleton]

Perfect.

[@Rafonsi]

holly shit I thought they were done after No Closer to Heaven but this is even fucking better.

[@bbygxr33]

this is the first song i have heard by this band and i’m actually liking this, so song suggestions by this band please!?

[@valeyarde4913]

If you like this sound, the other song released off of this album so far Sister Cities is solid. But their last album had a few you might like. Off of No Closer to Heaven I recommend Cigarettes and Saints as well as Stained Glass Ceilings. Cardinals is also solid. Their older stuff has a bit of a different sound but if you like pop-punk in general you should like it. I love Came Out Swinging, Coffee Eyes, Local Man Ruins Everything, Solo and Chewy Holdin it Dow, I Wanted So Badly to be Brave, You're not Salinger. Get Over it, Me vs. the Highway, I Just Want to Sell Out My Funeral, I Was Scared and I'm Sorry, and Washington Square Park a lot too. Also Melrose Diner is solid old pop-punky feeling and fun. I know that's a lot already so I'll leave it at that. You can pretty much pick any title there that sounds interesting to you and slowly branch out. The thing about this band is that I have never heard a song by them that I don't like, they're consistently solid across the board. They just have an evolving sound and writing style so things will be a little different but so good anyway.

[@jamesfleming1155]

Everything off of no closer to heaven

[@AndrewSmith-eo9pv]

ahhhh this so different for them but like its good

[@QuadiePoo]

Reminds me of Brand New’s Sowing Season which is a wonderful thing

[@brandonfaletti1472]

THIS is so fucking good. First listen I was like ok... Listened to it again on a drive home and my god....

[@Leo-hz6uh]

Recien hoy los escuche y esta genial
