00:12: HAHAHAHA. For a moment, i thought the hi-hat sounds actually came from brushing the drummer's hair on the snare. XD

I like how everyone is treating the drummer like he is not literally the person who decides how the song is played. The song is supposed to be played how it wants it to be played. I think this version is wonderfully intense. As a drummer I almost fell out of my chair. Haha!

if anyone wishes to see more live footage of their drummer connor, feel free to check out the drum cams we have done with him! amazingly talented drummer

Some of the best clean vocals I've ever heard by the guitarist. All around a 10/10 performance, in my opinion.

This is the purest reflection of how music moves through you! I'm absolutely besotted with this.

Drumming is super intense! Was fucking epic, I love the atmosphere the drummer brings. Definitely gonna listen to more of these guys!

You can tell everyone in the comments is new to the baao and melodic hardcore cause they complain too much.Perfect performance

I think the drummer took this song to a whole new level, and the energy that he gives to this performance, that's what I love about this.

Connor is a killer drummer!!

Dat bass... just excellent.

We are all homeless in one way or another Whether we've lost ourselves to lust Inflamed passions for things desired; forgotten the other Wandering aimlessly, in love with something that will only collect dust Or perhaps we've been led into the wilderness by some radiant lover, just to be left out in the cold A distant memory, and the warmth of home What are we then to do? 'Cause in the heat of bliss, we swore we would never love another There was truth and dignity in that oath Can there be any hope for their retention, in its breaking? That even while being disavowed, we recognize humanity We have all made mistakes, And G-d, I've made mistakes But my mistakes haven't made me Oh fallen acorn, lost and alone Can you still be kissed by fire, give up your seed And spring up into a towering, mighty oak? We've been led into the wilderness by some radiant lover, just to be left in the cold A distant memory, the warmth of home 'Cause in the heat of bliss, we swore we would never love another We've all made mistakes, every last one of us And just because we've told a lie, can we not still grow to be honest? Oh fallen acorn, lost and alone Can you still be kissed by fire, give up your seed And spring up into a towering, mighty oak? Thrown off kilter None of us would have thought We'd be who we are now When we were still little Eyes wide to possibility Who could have known That we'd witness such depravity

Gotta disagree with the crowd on this one.. I absolutely love everything about the drums in this video. They sound so good. Connor is a talented drummer and every time I see BAAO live i'm always blown away.

This dude is a phenomenally talented drummer, and they're his parts on his band's songs. He can play them however the hell he feels like playing them.

So glad I finally started listening to them about a month ago

The amount of passion and emotion that every member of this band puts into their music is absolute perfection. It’s what I love to see in a band. BAAO is without a doubt one of my favorite bands of all time.

The drummer is amazing ! Its live music you can't control what your body does when you just feel the music.. Better than performing like a fucking Beatle !

Ahhh shut up, the clean vocals are beautiful

I just watched this for the first time. My eyes watered, my throat got chocked up, my heart raced and my ears listened. I remembered the way it felt to be the person that I was. I miss and love im.

It seems that somebody took some lessons from Aaron Gillespie hahaha. It´s amazing how this band has improve,I seriously don´t understand the people ho are hating on them. Oh, and the ones ho are saying those drums are overplayed, its his song and with that technique he should have done that in the studio.

The drummer is insane. Seeing him perform How We Bother Wondrously Perish live left the venue in silence and gave me goosebumps all over, even with how short it is.

The drummer is insanely good!

One person mentions the drummer and the drum fills then everyone starts freaking out and saying the same exact thing. This dude is a great drummer and he's obviously got good rhythm. No need to talk bad about that, they like him so just accept it. He's still so young too and I'm sure he's not used to being in a band that big

the drummer, Conor, was taught by Aaron Gillespie of Underoath

@Bigdubbthegreat you explained it perfectly. I'm drummer myself and when I play I add a bit more fills because I love the way I feel when I do. And this drummer made those fills go perfectly with the song.

Still watch this all the time

This is a masterpiece. Thank you.

love it!!

Perfection ❤️

hope you upload more, this was awesome

After all these years I still comeback to see Connor's drumming here, He such a beasts!

This video got me into Being As An Ocean and heavier emotional music at all. Thank you for this!

I love this band with all my sadness and hapiness.

Man this banded has helped me overcome.

the sound of the bass guitar was simply AMAZING!

Love how the drummer feels the music

These guys are insanely good live

I love the drummers passion

I wish the recorded version had this drumming! Soo good!

Such an amazing drummer and vocalists and guitarists and bassist Fuck this band is great!

This band deserves more views :))))

man i miss this era of this band i shoulda seen them back when i had the chance

This band has brought me through the mud and blood. This band has inspired me through the darkest moments in my life. I’ve never seen them life because they’re always elsewhere. But you’re forever in my heart. Thank you -... .- .- - - -

Great song!! and the drummer sound great tbh

СПАСИБО!!!

This version is by far the bset, love the intro and the drum solo!

Best drummer ever

This is stupid good!

Muito bom esse batera e demais

That was amazing, especially considering it was a studio performance.

When a band is just as good live :)

LIKE THIS SO EVERYONE WILL SOP BITCHING ABOUT THE DRUMMER Look everyone says he has to many fills and that he has to much energy in a live studio performance? BUT GUESS WHAT it fucking sounds AMAZING and his skill as a drummer at that age in pretty fucking high and he does NOT have to much energy it's called caring about the music and letting the music envelop you its not energy hes showing in his drumming here its his raw emotion as a musician plain and simple say whatever you want but this guy is 40x the drummer and musician then most bands out there right now

Fuckin powerful song!!! Just stumbled upon this! I love it!!

so intense. baao is bringing you through every shit that happens in life!

I love how everyone is telling the drummer what to do as if they know how the band is meant to play more than the band itself. Leave the dude alone, he's an extremely talented drummer and has a real passion for what he's doing. Good on him!

I love Being As An Ocean so fucking much

💜💜💜💜

They were flawless when I saw them live, the fills here are a little crazy but when you're actually at a show they match the rooms energy, (not that I remember him filling to that extent.)

God dammit I love this band.

3:04 wow =O

This is better than the original version. It is simply amazing, especially considering it was performed in a studio.

Connor somehow took a transition song (How We Both Wondrously Parish) and turned it into the highlight of the video. I wish he still played in this lineup but Beartooth is good for him!

Hipster core

this video shows both why Connor is one the best drummers out there and why they decided to let him go

Fucking amazing dude.

I really like everything but the clean vocals. It's just so like everything else when it gets to the chorus.

Connor is a beast

I watched this video twice, the first i hated the drummer, the second time I watched I liked it alot, so all you peaople complainnig about it, watch it again, give Connor a second chance

Как он чувствует

The clean vocalist reminds me of Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy.

It's like a strange mashup of letlive. and mewithoutyou. Pretty good though.

Damn the drums here is much better, I like this version better than the album xD

Fuck...dude this drummer is absolutely incredible. Clearly this drummer is influenced by travis orbin...travis of course being one of the most talented percussionists of the 21st century thus far.

*Suddenly a wild bassist-related comment appeared*

fucking good

guys there is not inadvertently lead singer with the group the Elejah ??????

That drummer sure is loving this, makes me stoned for the rest of the song

Heavy undertones of underoath.... man baao music is so inspiring just like underoaths was

I love it, but the drummer is overplaying How We Both Wondrously Perish. It's supposed to be simple on the drums to lead into the next song nicely

Clean vocals sound like Fall Out Boy mixed with The Amity Affliction XD Just joking, I'm really in love with this song and whole album.

I half agree with the comments on the drummer. He's definitely a beast but there are fills that simply don't make sense and take a little away from the overall performance.

Shit this is awesome does anyone knows the genre? At first it sounded like post rock but it does not have the structure of it

Bruh the drummer is way into it. XD

You all rip the drummer apart because he's getting good vibes off the music he's playing? Get a reality check. The rest of the band is cool with it or else he wouldn't be there.

this drummer should keep it simple

Fuck why did they even get rid of Conor :(

So this is bizarro Alexisonfire then?

I wish Connor never left the band.

heard the recorded version AFTER hearing this one.... disappointed

the drummer should form his own band. 😕

As a drummer, there is such a thing as doing too much. This seems to be an unpopular opinion in the comments, but there are a lot of sections that this song suffers from too much happening on the drums.

tim the tat man anyone?

Too much drums. I understand playing the same song night after night gets boring but a drum fill every bar is too much. Playing a clean, soft building up part of a song and he's going ham lol. Dude has chops and can slay some drums but he does too much in my opinion.

man, I can't stand the drummer. Dig the band hard though

The drummer actually needs to relax. The whole song is a drum solo.

ummmm the drums MAKE this version of the song.. quit hating

Connor, we get it! You're a fantastic drummer, but a lot of those fills take away from the song...every instrument has its place, so please just chill a bit. Speaking as a multi-instrumentalist and drummer of nearly ten years before anyone asks.

This drummer is driving me crazy, this isn't a live show. He needs to learn how to blend.

Drummer is awesome...but there is something called too busy...way too busy taking away from the song in the beginning!

Am I the only one that thinks the drummer needs to chill on the fills? 90% of them don't even work with the song.
