Periphery is win. They can do anything, and Spencer is brilliant. I am a singer and he's one of my favorite singers.

This song... was the first song that came on when I shuffled my music when my father died. I had to be the rock, my only sibling, my younger brother (14 at the time), didn't know how to process. I still remember the very second when we got the news. I was just numb. I didnt cry or mourn till a day or two after, when I laid down in bed and put some music on. This song brought it out of me. I still cry when I hear it. Rest in peace dad. I love you. 8/17/1960 - 7/03/2015 I miss you terribly. I'm trying so hard dad to be there for my brother. Im trying. Time goes by so fast.

OFFICIAL LYRICS: Experience these things My chest sinks further in and it gets hard to breathe Don’t fight it, make this easy Sometimes I wish I had wings Fly far away from this life It’s a long road As the water beads up on the window, turn the sad song up on the radio (What's left with me is a memory) (When the flesh moves on) Such curiosity These thoughts go on all day It takes hold on me, but fighting isn’t easy Sometimes I wish I had wings Fly far away from this life It’s a long road As the water beads up on the window, turn the sad song up on the radio Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on and the clouds block out the rays When the feeling hangs upon a halo, I can only try my best just to let it go What's left with me is a memory and the things I have to say Resting now, their bodies hit the ground Nightmares creep over me I hear the sounds (Yes they all hit the ground) Children scream, their mothers bleed hung upside down Scarlet ropes and sadistic minds surround me I've spent all of my life confined in secrecy What you see is but a shell of what I am on the inside Clouds of blackness strike lightning There’s nothing above I’m falling below (There’s nothing above) As the water beads up on the window, turn the sad song up on the radio Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on and the clouds block out the rays When the feeling hangs upon a halo, I can only try my best just to let it go What's left with me is a memory and the things I have to say

"blah give us an instrumental set of albums." Yeah guys, they're totally gonna trash all their work on an incredibly detailed story just to appease a few meatheads. Remember when Misha popped into the comments and said "we don't write stuff to appeal to people, we write it for self expression"? Yeah. I do. This double album is really good, there's something for everyone. If you don't like this, you'll probably like Omega better. Give them a chance! They put their hearts into this, and it shows. You'll miss out if you judge it without hearing it all.

I feel like this song is really underrated compared to the rest of the album. This is my favorite sing-along song at the moment. That chorus is just so catchy. Sure, it's not really that heavy, but it's beautiful for what they were going for. Not every song they make is gonna be like MK Ultra or Hell Below.

screaming vocals always sounds great when contrasted to some poppy clean hooks

That solo is so tasteful.

Periphery’s chill songs >>>>> literally anything else

God.. I’ve loved this band since about 13. I’m 21 now, periphery.. has basically never disappointed me. From icarus lives, until heavy heart. They’re such an amazing group. They manage to balance this celestial war between dark and light in their songs and it gives me goosebumps every time.

2:49 that is the sexiest, most melodic, most satisfying melody and rhythm ever.

Lol at not liking these vocals. That would imply that they're not absolutely perfect. This is one of the best singers around right now.

How brilliant are these blokes. Deadset amazing band. Can't wait for them to come back to Australia

Tbh I like spencer's voice. He is one of my favorite singers. But I come from a mostly punk background, and it's kinda nostalgic for me. Reminds me of early thrice and stuff...

I really like this song, it reminds me of Periphery ii. I personally like when Spencer uses his voice to hit those high notes.

This album is the apex of music. I don't think it gets better than this...

Their guitar composition is so simple but complex at the same time. Got one playing power chord, another playing partial chords and the third arpeggiating the full chord. I really dig Mark's note slide technique to play an arpeggiated chord. Misha said in an interview that all their really heavy songs are inspired by Messugah riffs.

Spencer's vocal performance on these albums is incredible. Well done, my man!

This is the ONLY band that makes music which I can never get tired of, thanks guys

Well this was beautiful. Periphery has really 1up'd themselves.

The best song of all time, Nobody is going to create another masterpiece like this ever period.

Had my dog put down in may and this reminds me of him. Makes me sad and happy at the same time. What a great piece!

This will most definitely become my favourite 2 parter album from Periphery. Really professional, outstanding song-writing, astounding vocals.

This is far better than I thought it could have been! Really loving the vocal melodies, grooves, and the overall feel of this album. Very versatile and dynamic! Can't wait until it's released!

loooove this song, I keep coming back for it

This... This is beautiful, most definitely a masterpiece. One of the best songs I've ever heard, and as it stands, my most favorite periphery song. This is a great example of a band maturing/evolving, don't take me wrong, I love the old stuff as much as the next guy or girl, but this is just breathtaking and astounding. Well done periphery. (:

Lyrics: (Pretty close to 100% right I think) Experience these things My chest sinks further in and it gets hard to breathe Don’t fight it Make this easy Sometimes I wish I had wings Fly far away from this life It’s a long road It’s a long road As the water beads upon the window Turn the sad song up on the radio The fault with me is a memory When the flesh moves on Such curiosity These thoughts go on all day And it takes hold of me But fighting isn’t easy Sometimes I wish I had wings Fly far away from this life It’s a long road It’s a long road As the water beads upon the window Turn the sad song up on the radio Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on And the clouds block out the rays When the feeling hangs upon a halo I can only try my best just to let it go The fault with me is a memory And the things I have to say Resting now, their bodies hit the ground Nightmares creep over me I hear the sounds (Yes they all hit the ground) Children scream, their mothers bleed hung upside down Scarlet ropes and sadistic minds surround me I spent all of my life confined in secrecy What you're seeing Is but a shell of what I am on the inside Clouds of blackness abounding There’s nothing about I’m falling, I’m falling below (There’s nothing about) As the water beads upon the window Turn the sad song up on the radio Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on And the clouds block out the rays When the feeling hangs upon a halo I can only try my best just to let it go The fault with me is a memory And the things I have to say

One of their most artistic songs. I love the last transition into uncleans. Perfect.

definatly my favorite song from the new albums

this song is amazing. the vocals are amazing.

the amount of musical and lyrical motifs in this album is nuts.

Every member of this band is incredible.

This duo-album, the most recent Architects album, and the Beartooth album are all on an epic playlist for me. Periphery was the best band to start out 2015 for me.

I love that melodic line throughout most of the song, and that solo! Dat solo!

Nice, vocals sounding really good, songwriting game strong af.

"Butt fighting isn't easy"

I think Spencer's voice is the biggest improvement, along with the dark them to this album. It's gotten so much better, and I love it personally. Go Spencer!

Such a beautiful song. And amazing guitar songwriting

2:49-3:35 has that Final Fantasy jive to it. I love it.

Love the music LOVE the vocals always have. On this album Spencer kills it so hard

Amazing execution of 9/8 time to sound so smooth.

Easily my favorite song on this album next to Alpha & 22 Faces. Glad I stumbled upon these guys. Stoked for the July Release of Periphery 3.

By far the best concept album I have heard in years.

THE RIFF FROM THE CARVIN HH2 DEMO!! So happy you used that...so gooooooood

That very last strum is so awesome!!

Clearly Spencer is a huge fan of Devin Townsend ;) His vocals in this song are a huge shout out to his vocal style. It reminds me of Devin when he did 'Sex and Religion' with Steve Vai.

This is my favorite song from both of the new albums. Question though; am I right to assume this is about a murderer trying to block out the memories of killing? The song starts off nice, talking about sad songs and then takes a drastic turn talking about hanging mothers upside down. I love when bands actually tell stories like this instead of making generic love songs.

Oh, man this one is good. Everything about this one is good.

Anyone else think that at 2:41 it sounds Atreyu - The Theft!? Not a bad thing.

Saw these guys open up for In Flames (my favorite band) a two nights in a row a few weeks ago. I gave them a listen before the show and immediately dismissed them. I was hooked instantly when these guys started playing. The first time in a while that I've found a new band I really liked.

This is a great song!!!

I love this track so much... what a banger.

This song is so good. I love this album, Periphery and Veil of Maya are both so great!!!

Their best song!

I love all of periphery but this is so fucking pop punky and I love it. I've listened to this an insane amount of times since monday

best periphery album yet in my opinion.

Oddly enough I think this is one of my favorites so far.

Thank you for existing.

This song has a huge Coheed and Cambria Vibe , which iS Not a Bad thing.

Not too bad, never heard of these guys till today and was quite surprised... 2 thumbs up for me.

Carvin HH2 Holdsworth Signature Test Clip :)

Probably my favorite chorus on the album

I am in love !

I have no idea why but this is hands down my favorite song off of Alpha! I like it as much as I liked Scarlet off of P2. I am so excited to hear Omega!

love this one, it's so different, but it's still great music

Been dying to hear this song and holy cow!

I think Periphery broke music, they wrote a pop influenced song that sounds good.

Periphery and P2 were amazing albums. The Clear EP is awesome as well, but this is a different kind of periphery. I quite like it. I like that all of their stuff doesn't sound the same. I've listened to Spencers solo work and a lot of Bulb's songs he puts up. I really like the bands style as a whole but separately they're all just as good. A really talented group of people.

Looks like predator had some fun in the back round picture of this tune!

Spencers vocals are a part of what made me get into Periphery haha

I love this

Perfection

Great Song!

This album is so good

Amazing...

Hope they play this live for the 1st time during the wildfire tour

As the water beads upon the window Turn the sad song up on the radio Will the voices haunt when the flesh moves on And the clouds block out the rays this song is timeless

2:13 Literally starts the most catchy part of any song I've ever listened to.

Never heard this song before from them, I'm glad i did

I wanted to buy the albums on its their release date, but sadly the only store that had it was sold out, so. Now I will give in and listen to the whole album here. The store told me itd take a week to get more so. I'll be back there in a week

I'm not going to lie some of this is corny, but it's catchy. "AND THE THINGS I HAVE TO SAAAAAYYY" Love that part

This might be the song that actually gets me listening to Periphery

Such an underrated song and band

This song is just so damn beautiful. Good on you Periphery. Good on you ;)

this song is so good holy shit

Mind blown

This song is beautiful... Holy shit

Periphery❤

Man they really have listen to a lot of Cohered and I like that. There are some awesome melodies on this album Oddly enough I'm picking up a Devin Townsend vibe

love this track def my favorite really fucking reminds me of Coheed and Cambria. stuff from Good Apollo"....of the things i yearn to sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Los armónicos están bien perros , que buena rola

Try to remember the solo after the 1st chorus! The series of notes repeats throughout the albums!

best song on juggernaut

Ok, first off i love the song a lot, its not a bad thing but the vibe is definitely depressed teenager, BUT, everyone's talking about that creepy ass part with the scarlet ropes and children scream, mothers hung upside down, its far out but i think Black Minute is about a super creepy sex ritual where 2 people do it with the cult memebers circled around them, and when you add it to this song, it sounds like they kill the mothers and hang them up right when they give birth if the baby is a male, they grow up to be a cult member, And the main character is sad and depressed that thats what he was born into. Could be totally wrong but thats what i think till the band comes out with the story

2:49 definitely sounds like Atreyu's The Theft. Also, on a lot of the songs on this CD, Spencer sounds like Nate from Finch. Especially the beginning of The Scourge.

awesome sauce! my fav from alpha/omega so far \m/ \m/

Holy smoking jesus, this is out of my mind.

Yesyes

every album they release out takes me just a little longer to understand and get into. each time I eventually come around. great album.

Wild time signatures..

Matt fucking Halpern everybody. God damn groovy.
