Thomas - A song that has always somehow managed to stay in the minds, and questions of our most loyal supporters. Though a bit of a different flavor for us, I believe this song lends itself to being a precursor for some of our more melodic, and more structured songs that would begin to appear later on as staples of our repertoire.
Andrew - This was a big "will we/won't' we" question for us when we were deciding to do this album. It's such a departure from every other song from that era that it felt a bit out of place to include. We ultimately included it because it is essential to who we were at that time, and also because we all love the song. The lyrics are an attempt at a "Song About An Angel" (by Sunny Day Real Estate) conversational style. I struggled with wanting to update the lyrics, but I think for the purpose of the album (to show the beginning and present of a band) it was important to keep them unchanged.

I searched for "mirrors are more fun than television" hoping to find somenthing about Max Payne and ended up finding this, no regrets

[@barnshart9662]

The original song gives me chills every time. This one is great too but doesn't seem to capture that for me. I think it has a lot to do with the maturity of this one.

[@ohexplode]

My fave 30 years war demo, such raw and young voices in the old version.

[@OhTheEzekiel]

The 02:24 riff hit me right in the childhood! The only thing I miss is the, "She said!" gang vocal.

[@JosueRodriguezTonUpBoy]

One of the only TFoT things I can play lmao

[@tjnuge]

This is definitely a more groove feeling

[@YTesperado]

This was my fav track when discovering 30yrs war. Super glad I can hear this years later

[@criminon_]

Crazy to think they almost didn't add it. It's so fucking good.

[@burnsdaniel160]

Jup...still makes me cry. Well played

[@abnerdume]

Just want to thank you guys, this album, has made me jumping one more psychological step to go forward in the life process. I will like to said a lot of good things but i prefer to keep it and share it with people who hasn't still heard about your music guys...! Cheers!

[@thundrepic]

So many nights listening to this song spent alone, this has definitely influenced my own style of music. This is how I expressed myself in high school :')

[@eleanorion4860]

This song definitely gave fans a sneak peek at future melodic ideas you guys pursued. ❤️ love it. I’ve heard this song tons of times but it seems new to me now. I love you guys reimagined these pieces of the finest art around.

[@Hydrogoniise]

This is my favorite song on the Thirty Year War EP. Much respect, thank you for including this one!

[@oscaromana17]

very glad that you finally included Mirrors, this one was my favorite from Martyrs and I love this version too

[@baileywagstaff9809]

Best thing to happen in 2020 by far 😱👌

[@eleanorion4860]

Have to agree!

[@oscaromana17]

And I dont think it will be overcome

[@tomace194]

Protest the hero is great too.

[@scarlet_turtle]

This became my favorite song ever after I first heard it on KZbin in 2011. I was really anxious about the band remaking it, but they killed it 🤘

[@sleeplessgrave]

I definitely gonna buy merch and support y'all good shit

[@GrinningDemon]

Love this track and this EP yall! Crushed it.

[@noonesum]

Ufffff so many memories to this Thank you

[@Vanamonde]

I never thought this would get the proper rerecording it deserved but here it is. ^_^

[@Ziggerath]

I was always hoping you guys would revisit this song! Fuck yeah, sounds a lot fresher

[@YG-oj5wq]

Again thank you for making this 6 minutes and 9 seconds, I feel very privileged to see the signs.

[@user-sd6jz9tf8w]

so fresh!

[@purpleremix4206]

Gives me chills 💜

[@javin7134]

The OG song is older than me, but I still get nostalgic vibes when I hear this. I’m 13 btw

[@SPITSTERYEA]

Hey! I’m a 15 y/o fan, I don’t find much younger swancore fans :3 I get the same vibe too, but also sad (it’s a tragic song when understanding lyrics.)

[@javin7134]

@@SPITSTERYEA Hello there, I’m 16 now but you’re right most of the people I know don’t listen to this genre regularly haha. I got a few of my friends hooked on Hail The Sun though

[@SPITSTERYEA]

@@javin7134 Lol neat, I’m (probably) gonna get my bf into Dance Gavin Dance, but it’s difficult since he hates Tilian’s voice (aka oVer hALF the albUMS.)

[@javin7134]

@@SPITSTERYEA I like DGD too (especially when I was 12-13) but I listen to them a lot less now after the whole Tillian drama. I still try to separate the art from the artist at times but it’s hard not to think about haha. RIP Tim

[@jonathanbain2722]
