Dear Hunter, The - Shame Lyrics

Man do I love that last chorus. That gorgeous change of bass line for the first note, the intensity of the vocals and how each instrument add up to this moment. Damn.

The 11 people who disliked this were just mad that you couldn't turn it up to 11

I can't stop. The emotion in this song speaks to me. There's an underlying anger in it and it hits home in such a classy way. It's sex for my soul.

still some of the best there is, terrible that they are still so unknown, x

This shit is great.

The Dear Hunter

Shame

You had them fooled,
And I'll admit you had me too,
But you're awfully chique,
To act so clean, I...

Can sense a shake,
An oscillation
Your voice,
The closet's full,
But the door's swinging open,

Shame.

That you couldn't suffer the blame,
Cause now it's the only way
That you could find the fix, to mend.

It's the art of deceit,
With elegance you plead,
And captivate,
And never was there doubt in my eye.

With the silent sound,
I see you were standing still in a silent calm,
With curtains drawn,
Cursing at the light,

Shame.

That you couldn't suffer the blame,
Cause now it's the only way,
That you could find the fix the nightmare

Shame.

That wouldn't suffer the blame
You know it's the only way
That you could find the fix to
Mend these lies.

You now leaving anything back in this world for us
So don't go taking anything back from this world but,
Shame
That you couldn't suffer the blame
Cause now it's the only way
That you could find the fix to mend,

These lies.

Just knew this band a few weeks ago when BTBAM announced they would be touring together, they're so damn good!

Soundgarden

Man this band is kick ass.

this song is amasing good job

Reminds me of old Coldplay a bit

just saw them live yesterday it was the most amazing performance I've seen yo

Casey sings his heart out every single song. Nothing short of amazing songwriting and talent.

Sounds of sky and hell, fucking nice! Listening from Colombia.

What a hauntingly beautiful song

Fucking perfection

How can anything sound this awesome like the fucking snare....perfection!

Just saw them live at Houston!! fucking great band

That voice is AMAZING

Samwise Gamgy/Sean Astin on piano

Wow, just wow....

W fucking ow

Who is the drummer?

Nick Crescenzo, the lead singer, Casey's, brother.

Thanks.

what a brilliant musicians

Lol I was just thinking, the dear hunter should do an audiotree live sesh....

I saw them live years ago and it was honestly one of the best concerts I have ever seen. I watched in awe and became a life long fan.

Wizard of Oz

does the singer have something in his nose?

I can't stop with this video. Everything is so damn perfect. My only complaint is that we only get one shot of that beautiful Jazzmaster that's pulling out some super tasty licks, but everything else is so amazing. And man does that kit sound good. Snare drum goals for sure. So good.

Is this really live though? I want to believe it but when I see his use of the microphone, it is inconsistent. His mouth position is not relative to the dynamic in the vocal. Typically a singer will back away from the mic when the lyric calls for a more aggressive tone to help even out the level then they move back in but here in this video, it is all over the place. Do you think the video is edited and that some of the takes are put together to make one piece?

It sounds fantastic and is damn near exact to the studio cut. I'm a big fan and love these videos but it just looks a bit off to me.

+David Rowe You have our word that this video was filmed and mixed live in one continuous take. We have amazing engineers. Check out our recently released Behind the Scenes series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLunIrIqYqs7-o_0emE-xgk--7BXDVX5XC More behind the scenes videos coming soon.

+Audiotreetv way to be!

+Ham Gina compression dude

trust me, having been a guest on this wonderful show, i can tell you it is indeed live. not only is this all one continuous take, but because they stream it live, you only get one shot. i understand the skepticism because casey never really sounds "live" (he's just that good) and the people working the sound on this show are just beasts at what they do.

Yeah. Violin tuning is what gave it away for me. There's one of those guys who can't figure out the first note of the falls.

My favorite is Nicks face as he plays. I love watching drummers as they play in general, but he is just so damn talented and expressive as he plays. Very fun guy to watch.
I also really enjoy that Audiotree pays pretty equal attention to all the members, not just singling out Casey and maybe snapshot of everyone else the whole time.

this may be the best non studio version of a song I've ever heard! it even sounds better than the studio version. love the emotion of it.

omg that snare sounds gorgeous

Milton .McMilton It’s so perfect

Son of a bitch this punches you right in the feelings. BravfuckingO

Just discovered this band. Seriously, I'm shocked that they aren't more well-known.

The bassist looks _exactly_ like Shia LaBeouf. How has no one mentioned that? It's bugging me, 'cause every time he's on screen that's all I see.

But anyways, amazing track - really stoked to listen to more of this band.

<3 just amazing

I wonder why people are so uninterested in real raw talent; they would rather listen to something that has no soul, no meaning, and something that is effortless with a beat. I would rather listen to something that grabs you and pulls you in deeper into the emotions of a true artist. That's why I truly appreciate musicians that put their all into their music, and let us have a taste of their talents.

Well said...100% agree!

Peter RIvera perhaps they enjoy music as soulless as they are.

they just want some superficial pretty shit to look at they dont want real life

All this machinery
Making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted
It's really just a question
Of your honesty, yeah your honesty
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity, yeah
Invisible airwaves
Crackle with life
Bright antennae bristle
With the energy
Emotional feedback
On a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price
Almost free
For the words of the profits
Were written on the studio wall
Concert hall
And echoes with the sounds, of salesmen, of salesmen, of salesmen

Now i just need to hear them in real life.

+Amber Elise They are currently on tour.

Amber Elise Just saw them with Coheed on coheed's GAIBSIV Neverender tour. They're amazing live.

I just saw them yesterday opening for Coheed and Cambria here in Tennessee and they were absolutely amazing

:') my God , im crying, this is grandiose

BAAAHHHH!!
always knew OF these guys.. never listened to them until now. that was dumb as shit!
WOW!

Same boat here. Better late than never!

The drummer is casey's brother for those of you who did not know

I definitely assumed as much! They look SO similar. 

Oh man, this is sexy Live. 

Damn, what a gift... seriously, one of the best things I have EVER heard...

That drummer is adorable :D

I love how happy the drummer is :)

They all know exactly what notes to hit at exactly the right time. And the bass player is totally in the zone. 

Fuck me that snare. God damn.

This is beautiful music all around. Super tight instrumentation, interesting chordal structures, great lyrics, and amazingness.

The Dear Hunter is great, but I still think his sound was amazing with The Receiving End of Sirens

My jaw dropped

I am in love with this these guys. Please, please come to Scotland. 

insanely good. would love to hear casey score a film one of these days

my most favorite song off the album!

@thedailyp00per, you're one of the few people I've seen that remembers his original project. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Casey would do a sick Justin timberlake cover.

How terribly inaccurate and childish of you.

@Neils Afro Justin's new album is pretty great. Don't get a stick up your ass about someone just because he's pop and mainstream.

@derpabot I listened to a few of his new songs and they are literally what you expect from pop mainstream. I won't deny that he's a decent signer, but his songwriting is terrible.

I hear his autographs are pretty fantastic as well. See what I did there?

There's always some pretentious asshole bashing mainstream music on these kinds of videos.

Such a great band

Go back to treos!! Best band ever

they are one of my favorites

big man. Big beard.

why is Casey so sexy

Holy Frickity frackity. these guys are amazing. I'm astounded that I've never heard them before. Just, just, just holy crap.

SO GOOD
