Big Wreck - Inhale Lyrics






Cities crumble into forests
The black tops crack and float away
Change your mind and inhale
And every now and then it's broken
We'll fix it all up in the end
Change your mind and inhale

We all want to get away
And walk that country mile
If we're all gonna fade away
Let's go out in style

Change your mind and inhale
Change your mind and inhale

Of all the manufactured meat
Consumed under most human needs
We're overdue
And all the pretty folks are plastic
And all the lines are drawn so drastic
Like airplane glue

We all want to get away
And walk that country mile
If we're all going to fade away
Lets go out in style

You see
You're mine
You'll see
You're mine

Can't you see
You're blind
Can you see
You're blind

We all want to get away
And leave it all for a while
If we're all gonna fade away
Lets go out in style

We all want to get away
And walk that country mile
And if were all going to fade away
Lets go out in style

Change your mind and inhale
Change your mind and inhale

  1. T.... ....

    Along with King's X, one of the most criminally underrated bands ever.

  2. T.... g....

    Rip Brian Doherty

  3. A.... B....

    I love playing the intro to this on guitar. About half speed with sub octave pedal. Sounds evil

  4. J.... C....

    Great tune.

  5. R.... A....

    God, he even LOOKS like Chris Cornell here ..

  6. T.... ....

    Goddamn, this takes me back to Grade 8 and Summer of '01 immediately. Although "That Song" will always be their best track, this one is just as adrenaline pumping & freeing at the same time.

  7. C.... 8....

    Damn right, inhale lol

  8. T.... S....

    Great band. They often times remind me of Soundgarden.

  9. d.... k....

    What a sad day to lose this guitarist.

  10. w.... ....

    RIP Brian Doherty

  11. D.... K....

    Not true wouldn’t have been bigger but his voice is pretty killer

  12. M.... O....

    Is it just me or is this video very similar to The People that We love by Bush?

  13. O.... ....

    This song, and the band, have never received the respect and attention they deserve.

  14. S.... ....

    Fucking beautiful.

  15. D.... L....

    Hell of an opening riff. Great song.

  16. R.... A....

    The Chris Cornell is strong with this one .. !

  17. P.... G....

    Masterpiece Music!

  18. w.... ....

    DaT ass

  19. L.... C....

    He hasn't bailed on his fans like Chris Cornell

  20. A.... H....

    Such an amazing band I for one love the video such "rock stars" :-)

  21. J.... G....

    Horrible video for such an amazing band. They deserved so much better

  22. J.... M....

    Sexiest man alive, right there baby!!! Yum 👅

    J.... M....

    Isn't he though? ❤

  23. R.... S....

    every single song ian puts out is a master piece guy is a rockstar magician , he may have not got the recognition he deserved but he seems very humble about stuff and prob doesnt care , he knows how good he is  #

    R.... S....

    Ryan Shordee - Nobody could have said it better than you did.

  24. R.... Z....

    Bigsby on an Explorer?

    R.... Z....

    Nope, thats a Flying V

  25. M.... M....

    I think the director was trying to turn him into Lenny Kravitz

    M.... M....

    Right?!?! I totally saw it just before reading your comment! HAH!

    M.... M....

    This was the first video by them I saw and I thought he looked, and sounded, like a cross between Chris Cornell and Lenny Kravitz. This is the only video that gave me the Kravitz vibe though so you're probably spot on.

  26. b.... ....

    Whoever says this is nothing like Soundgarden are in denial. Just played this and my partner, who is a massive Soundgarden fan, thought it was a new Soundgarden album......

    b.... ....

    I reckon the Soundgarden comparisons just come from how much his voice sounds like Chris Cornell. The music doesn't have much in common...

    b.... ....

    +Connor Flys

    Soundgarden are a lot more avant-garde - this is much more mainstream. And no one can touch Chris' majestic vocals and songwriting, other than Led Zeppelin.

    b.... ....

    This sounds nothing like Soundgarden. Ian Thornley and Chris Cornell have similar sounding voices but that's where the comparison ends. Big Wreck are very heavily blues inspired. Soundgarden are a bit all over the place, Punk then Metal then Alt-bordering Grunge.Don't get me wrong, I still listen to Badmotorfinger to this day but overall Ian Thornley is a much better musician. As a guitar player he is brilliant and as a singer he still has the voice all these years later.

    b.... ....

    He's a better lead guitarist - that's all. Songwriting and voice-wise, he doesn't touch Cornell. Also, Chris is 10 years older than Thornley.

    b.... ....

    your "partner" ? are you queer?

  27. E.... B....

    Do I hear a little touch of Chris Cornell?

    E.... B....

    +Edward Chatelain nope, just Ian thornley.

    E.... B....

    +Edward Chatelain Nope, you hear Ian Thornley. The MAN dude.

    E.... B....

    +ONYOURWAYTOOBLIVION After they (the bullshit recording media) said that he sounded like Chris Cornell, you can see where people get the impression.

    Fact is, us true BW fans know that BW was a bad way ahead of it's time and that the band is damn amazing live.

    Plus all of the money babies at the show is a plus too! Hooah!? Airborne!

    E.... B....

    My brother, a musician, has always thought that!

  28. R.... ....

    much music days way back...

  29. H.... D....

    "If we're all gonna fade away, let's go out in style" baby! #TXlovesBW

  30. R.... I....

    Love this tune! 

  31. R.... L....

    coolest guitar on the planet specially with the bigsby

  32. M.... L....

    Fuckin cool video. Love that V guitar with the trem

  33. C.... M....

    Love this band and the monster guitar sound!!

  34. d.... e....

    Ian's hairy nipples! Rock on Cacheton!

  35. R.... ....

    I see a number of shots the directors of U2's Beautiful Day lifted....

  36. b.... ....

    Nothing wrong with comparing him to C Cornell. However Ian Thornley is a triple threat , don't know if I can say the same about Cornell

    b.... ....

    brokeheartblues Just had this conversation with a friend and I totally agree.

    b.... ....

    Woulda _loved_ to see them play together!!!
    Just one entire album, of Chris & Ian jamming... They'd have awards & #1 hits for years. If only... 💗
    *Hugz from this Canadian gal 🤗🍁

    b.... ....

    You are 100% correct @brokenheartblues

  37. M.... M....

    Great in studio, even better live.

  38. r.... f....

    love this band!....love this song!....but gotDAMN that video is stupid.

    r.... f....

    completely agree

    r.... f....

    randall floyd - If you watch the video a few more times, it's _kinda_ cool. (<- shows _my_ age eh?! 😊)
    A fake silver car flies by Ian & lands upside down. Sexy lady uses the hood ornament as golf club, pulls ball out of her boobs, fixes her tight booty shorts (great a$$ shot if it was slower) & smashes the glass speakers. Ending the video. When this was made, CGI was in its infancy 2000. A lil factual proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pleasure_and_the_Greed
    (Simply look at the date of the albums release 2001, this was the first video to come out, they needed time to write it, shot, edit & stuff.)
    Still, they _are_ the bestest! You are right though, it's old. Can you admit it's a slightly better video then David Bowie & Mick Jagger's 'Dancing in the Streets'? HAHAHA I just wanted _you_ to smile. Hope it worked.

    (This was edited for my stupid spelling mistakes. You know the ones that auto correct misses: as instead of was)

  39. S.... C....

    If these guys had been from Seattle, they would have been bigger than all of them!

    S.... C....

    Sammy Clandestine - I seen them front row centre @ Parlee Beach, NB (Canada). Their first tour, once they dropped 'In Loving Memory'
    They even sound _better_ live! Proud they have had success. Just remember... they're _still_ rocking it! 🤞 they keep giving great hits. *Hugz from this Canadian gal 🤗🍁

    S.... C....

    I'm disagree - but only about the details. It was timing not location they had to contend with.

    By the time they debuted Grunge was over. Seattle wannabes like Creed are their contemporaries and that was a rough time for quality rock music.

  40. T.... ....

    That Marshall looks like a washing machine lol!

  41. k.... ....

    what an ugly flying V

  42. M.... P....

    i love that hes the canadian version of cornell but with his sound with a twist

    M.... P....

    He's not a VERSION of fucking anything, Canadian (with a capital C, by the way) or otherwise, thank you very much. He is what he is- Ian Fletcher Thornley. Unto his own.

  43. T.... m....

    This was a good single! Good tune.

  44. S.... H....

    I was just listening to this when I heard about Rob Ford's confession. Ha!

  45. x.... r....

    this is when Muchmusic used to be good

  46. A.... H....

    Those leathers!!!!!

  47. J.... W....

    I don't think that guy's actually 60...

  48. C.... R....

    videos haven't mattered since The Real World Season 2.

  49. A.... T....

    The ONLY thing good about this video is the chicks. I don't need to see the band to know if they're any good, and I don't like looking at men anyway, so being entertained by massively attractive and sexy chicks is, to me, the perfect accompaniment to a good rock song.

  50. D.... ....

    Great song, terrible video.

  51. t.... ....

    Jesus, the rift is so fucking heavy, just makes you wanna rock the fuck out

  52. S.... ....

    Are u fucked? This song is fucking great. Yeah, the video isnt their best. But anyone who doesnt like the song needs their hearing checked.

  53. C.... S....

    THIS VIDEO IS SUPPOSED TO BE CHEESY! If you know anything about this band you know this is all tongue-in-cheek. Listen to the lyrics too if you don't believe me.

  54. m.... m....

    jesus this is probably the worst song they've ever done, and the video is so fuckin cheezy lmao

  55. T.... ....

    its called style!

  56. m.... ....

    Tellement excitant, comme toujours!

  57. b.... ....

    That's Brian Doherty

  58. C.... R....

    I love Ian, and Big Wreck/Thornley but let's not get carried away here lol

  59. J.... F....

    I feel like the girls don't belong in the video.

    J.... F....

    Says the girl.....

    J.... F....

    Says the guy....

  60. J.... U....

    Nice, Can someone help me with the name of the guitarist playing the sunburst..He looks really familiar. Like I've seen him in another band before..Thanks

  61. S.... C....

    I want that Flying V. Oh Yeah the song kicks ass too.

  62. k.... ....

    These guys should just cant seem to break threw. But they are worthy of making it BIG. Love the zepplin influence in there writing.

  63. A.... D....

    big wreck always had the most ridiculously awesome guitar tone. still do, i guess.

  64. c.... ....

    Chris Cornell wishes he was as good as Ian.

  65. b.... ....

    Forrest Williams... a true monster on drums!

  66. Z.... M....

    who is the drummer?

  67. S.... S....

    @10 years old in 1987 I was wearing Iron Maiden & Judas Priest t-shirts to grade school & the looks I use to get were priceless from what I fondly remember lol.I'm really glad I was a metal head right from the get go & not into Madonna & Tits Turner ,Michael Jackson,thank you so much God.

  68. D.... L....

    We both appear to be music aficionados and we both like Big Wreck....so there ya go...that's cut the squabbles and insults...K?

  69. M.... ....

    In 1985 I was 10 years old and I was listening to Madonna, Tina Turner and Michael Jackson. You gotta admit, pretty good for a 10 year old.

  70. D.... L....

    Fuck you punk ...I don't own a Mama's and papas album and never have and never will...you are pretty presumptuous just cuz I failed to have the precise terminology. Let's see I was watching Red Hot Chili peppers in a dive Bar some where in LA in around 85-87. What were you doing?

  71. M.... ....

    Yeah, keep listening to your The Mamas and the Papas records. You are really up to date with what's going on in the music world. Punk!

  72. D.... L....

    OK so I choose my words wrong....nic picking...I like 'em no matter what they are.

  73. M.... ....

    Well, this is not metal and they were never a metal band, but they make beautiful music and that's all that matters. However, I am sure they would excel in jazz, metal or country because they are great musicians.

  74. J.... M....

    I FN love this song and these guys. Ian is kickass! I love the tunnings on their geetars. I've been an fan since 98'. They need to come kick it down here in Indiana. Their new record is totaly badass. So glad they put out another record. thanks Big Wreck.

  75. d.... ....

    I AGREE LADIES WERE ACOMPLISHING THE BIG O TO THAT SONG ALL ON THERE OWN ACCORD !

  76. G.... d....

    Some towns and people don't like giants....

  77. G.... d....

    Actually many people don't want to get away....and some want to but are not allowed or can't

  78. E.... S....

    I agree! Just because he has an incredible vocal range, like Chris Cornell doesn't in any way diminish his talent.

  79. p.... ....

    I always say Jimi and Ian could have been friends.. Jimi'd been impressed Im sure!

  80. T.... ....

    21000 views is an insult

  81. w.... ....

    What a frontman! He ranks up there with all the greats from Marc Bolan to ....insert famous name here.....

  82. J.... ....

    He looks like Chris Cornell on the "Black Hole Sun" video. His acting, the band members position, his look... reminds me that a lot.

  83. R.... L....

    coolest guitar ever

  84. D.... L....

    You are correct...what ever they are I listen to them a lot.

  85. L.... E....

    I don't think they would be considered metal...maybe closer to hard rock but none the less a great band

  86. K.... T....

    The rows of shiny speakers look like washing machines in a laundromat!

  87. D.... L....

    I'm 60 and don't particularly like metal music but when I first heard these guys back in around '97 or 8...wow I loved 'em and I couldn't understand why they didn't make it big either...having been around the block with music! LOL! And now they're baaack! Who cares if sounds like Chris what ever....quite nit picking.

  88. K.... T....

    Nice to see this clip at a decent resolution, vs. that tiny little thing ten years ago!

  89. j.... ....

    Ian shreds at guitar. I love his huge sound.

  90. m.... g....

    Damned this is good!

  91. I.... B....

    Reminds me a hybrid of Soundgarden & Stone Temple Pilots .

  92. r.... ....

    @Jmswlks Okay then.

  93. r.... ....

    @Jmswlks So....you're saying that nobody should target any demographic for anything, ever? Because someone else could misinterpret the material? 'Cause if that's not your point, then I don't really know what you're getting at. Yeah, you're probably right, that plenty of people got the wrong idea from this video. Does that make it wrong? Should they not have made it that way?

  94. r.... ....

    @Jmswlks For sure. But I don't think teenage boys are the intended audience. Or, not the intended recipients of the message.

  95. r.... ....

    @Jmswlks Yeah, exactly...? That's exactly what this video says to me. That Big Wreck isn't like that. It's totally ironic. The 'cliché sex and partying rock video', with the lyrics that totally oppose that whole attitude, pretty effectively tells me two things: First, that Big Wreck aren't a sex and party rock'n'roll band, and second, that they think that kind of shallow, superficial attitude is stupid.

  96. G.... ....

    It's called irony people; they are just trying to show the opposite of what they/their music represents. You should appreciate them for being so clever, not ridicule them because you didn't catch on. <3

  97. r.... ....

    @Jmswlks I'm pretty sure that's the whole point.

  98. C.... L....

    @ 0:48 nice stoned face XD

  99. v.... ....

    This is a 90's video, you can't hate that much...have you watched Creed's videos? Enjoy the spinning silver cars for their inherent humour, and keep lovin the song for its obvious radness.

  100. 1.... ....

    great fuckin song.......d-bag video
