Story So Far, The - Stalemate Lyrics

"My blood is always hot when it comes to you and I"

This song is too real ♥️

Such a badass fucking song. 2:26

Have you guys noticed the covers of these songs match each other’s meaning if you look at their colors

When this album was released it was a major let down to me compared to “What You Don’t See”. But it’s grown on me over the years and now I’m going through a break up of a 4 year relationship this album is coming through in the clutch. Thanks TSSF.

damn!... just... damn!☺

Pop punk in 6/8 and 5/8? Wow :B

took 2 years and a break up to final make this album grow on me, I'm really glad I gave it a listen again, beautiful stuff

still listening to this wondering when I'll be able to make the change and leave the past in the past.

2 years and this is still one of my favourites

This whole album just speaks to me *internal sigh*

Whoever this girl is, she must have REALLY fucked over Parker. So much so that he is willing to write three albums about her. Assuming its the same girl for all three albums.

Can't ignore, won't ignore, I just just don't you know anymore!

"You know how hard that I fell hazy every detail about who cared the most when it came to you and I. I never thought that you'd bail, I guess I let it go stale my blood is always hot when it comes to you and I"
This hits me too hard

me too... especially "My blood was always hot when it comes to You and I"

man I feel this way everyday but feel to weak to 🚶 away most days but with this song I feel stronger just got to execute

Parker has so much pain and anger in his voice I fucking love it. it makes me relate harder to them cause I feel those same emotions when I relate to the songs.

Whenever I hear Parker's vocals at their highest i just want to punch the wall out of anger from the emotion he's conveying

We all do buddy.

Can i get sheet music for this shit? I cant even tell what the time signature it is half of the time lel

+jordan loraas I'm pretty sure it's 5/4 for the verses and 3/4 or 6/8 for the choruses and intro riff

too fast

capostatus937 shut the fuck up

like at 1:40 ! he never does that.

So good right? That part gives me chills.

Damn that intro riff gets me every time

Am I the only one who thinks this is one of the stronger tracks rather than one of the weaker tracks like some people suggest?

Who thinks for the next album Parker and Kevin should both sing, maybe like a duo song? I think at least Kevin should do backing vocals at least like he did in Under Soil and Dirt. Look up Keven Geyer feat. Parker Cannon - Friendly Fire. That song proves that hey could do a amazing duo.

I always thought he was saying"Ganondorf! Voldemort! I just can't win this anymore."

USAD when you're angry WYDS when you miss her ST when you're sad

100% accurate

"You want him like you wanted me" damn you parker... that's too real.

This is so damn good 'yo

The intro kind of sounds like Mock

There isn't anybody but parker on this album. Go see them live and you'll knw its all parker. Lol.

'stalemate': "soulmate"

damn this whole cd just makes me think about my ex. still a bangin album tho

One of my faves off of the album, along with how you are and mock

I adore this band, all their albums are fucking amazing.

"LIGHT TEAL"

Such a solid album. They never disappoint.

I wonder what made that 1 idiot hit the dislike button...

to wish for earnestly

wait if thats not kev at 1:40 than who is it? Still Parker just softer or?

Now this is something I wouldn't mind going deaf too...

I covered "Stalemate" on the drums on my channel.  I had some copyright issues with the cover so it's "Drums Only," but you can view the full cover on my Vimeo account.  Here's a link to the video - https://vimeo.com/128218728

I wonder how many times this band can release the same song over and over before their fans realise...

AMAZING fucking album, still not as good as USAD though, but this album still rules!

I'm going through a breakup, so Stalemate is a hard one to listen to. In time it will be my favorite though!

My fave song on the album. These guys always have awesome closing tracks.

Torf stepped up his game so much. His 3/4, 4/4, and 5/4 timings are all so solid. Props my man!

Is this song 5/4 or 6/4 because i keep hearing people say both

@CameronParkOfficial Because it is both. The intro is 6/4 and when it switches the riff to interlude the vocals it switches to 5/4. If you count along you will notice it immediately. I really love this song because of the uncommon time signatures and I would have hoped that the newest album would have continued that path. Unfortunately they stuck to simple time signatures but I guess thats just how it is

iS THIS ALLO W ED

If they did a whole song in 5/4, I would shit myself.

LIGHT TEAL

The intro reminded me of Such Gold's Two Year Plan but both sounds awesome!

Weakest closing track and most awkward vocal melody on the verses

Frarlic gies literally imma rip ur ass wit my dick

A great song to end the album! :D

loving this chrous

There's someone else who is singing on this track, besides Parker, who is it?

''It’s not the same as you feel it used to be a light teal
But that shade was never real for you and I''

Love the more subtle blue reference in this song, genius lyricism.

I just can't get into this no matter how hard I try

start/end bruh shut up

They never fail me. So fucking good

TSSF  <3

Its time to let her go Parker.

Trabant you can never really let go, just get used to it

So true.

I think your comment got to him. Thats why they are now doing softer songs

hot fire

So many 3/4 songs on this record

@Blake Rosier this is 5/4

awww good ear. 

@Prithvi Jana it's both. the chorus is 3/4 and verses are 5/4

+Blake Rosier theres ome 6/4 in there too

+Adam Pain It's 6/8 not 6/4. 6/4 is very rare. I've never actually seen it while 6/8 is the second most common time signature

All of these songs sound so similar to me :(
Parker is using the same vocal melody in every song...I really want to like this, I do, but I don't know if I do yet. I love this band, though.

@ATylenol Wow, the lead singer of a band has similar styles for his songs? Who would have thought?

@asdfasdfasdfas He just has a boring cadence to me at this point, I guess. Personal opinion, kill me for having one.

Fuuuuuuuuck yes

Damn, one of my favorite songs on this album!!

I was having a hard time getting over my ex and then this album dropped. Beyond thankful, thanks TSSF

they have a part in 5/4 thats pretty sick

Whoever broke this guy's heart really lead to some heavy/good material. Solid record from start to finish. Soil and Dirt is still my fave but with time this may close the gap! Long-live TSSF

FUCK THOUGH this album shows there worth, all there albums are fucking GOLD this just proves they are here to stay. It proves everything. Most new albums suck, and this album surely fucking doesn't, you've got it all wrong if you think it's not ATLEAST good, because it maybe different but it's still about the same person

She said I've got it all wrong but I'm sure, EVERYTHING WE DID BEFORE, DOESN'T REALLY MATTER ANYMOREEE

The Story So Far ALWAYS gives me this "Fuck this, I'm better than this" feeling. Even just the musical intro. It's so happy and sad at the same time, just makes you want to throw shit, throw your bad habits and insecurities. So prevalent. No other band gives me that feeling. Makes me confident that shit will work, and that I'm doing the right thing by following my heart at all times.

+George Pyott chiillll yo

FUCKING TRUE

Zack Neves why you got to take me on a Feel Trip bro?...

This is inspirational my man.

i get that felling too, also with ADTR

I never thought that you'd bail
I guess I let it go stale
Fuck...

This album is going to be repeat for weeks when it comes out .

When tssf releases their whole ep a week before it's released 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 #thuglyfe

Just finished all the songs, still dont know which one i like the most (phantom??) but lets be real you really get in touch with an album like 2am staring at the ceiling or something. I think the lyrics are really intense with feeling like damn what'd he have to go through omg

@LightersInTheGround Love your profile pic<3
Ghost Town is life.

dude that's edgy and deep as fuck

4am for me

@LightersInTheGround Phantom Intro was like Title Fight's hazy styles goes rolling
and missing like bullets slamming into deer skin.hehe. Is Kellen Kellen it with an Upright Bass on the Phantom song?

Dude for real, balled my eyes out by the time it got to this song

This song's been on repeat since yesterday. My fav song off the entire album

in love with parker cannon and mat kerekes

Think this is my favorite off this album. Nerve is a close second, but this chorus is absolutely killer.

I've listened to all of the songs and I gotta say that this is my favorite one

I'm feeling it a bit… a couple of more listens and I'll probably like it.

awwwww yissss

The guest vocals sound like Kevin Geyer... and like, you know... he's kinda been singing background for all the albums?

It sounds nothing like Kevin, I still think it's Parker

+FabreezeFlow21 More like Costner or Smith..

It's mat kerekes

i have died

Damn! That 5/4 groove tho, they pull it off so smoothly. Stoked on this

@Jay Mazella Is it something I should know? I've played bass for 2 years and still don't know what any of it means heh

+lolfroobface Well if you survived two years without it, you may not need it right now. But if you plan to right, knowing theory certainly helps.

@Syco Larry I usually play things by ear and I can't read music or anything I've tried to learn but it's not for me, it just comes naturally.

That's cool. I wish I was like that. I need to see things written. But once I get it down, my ears are enough to keep me on track. Drumming for me is different though. Drumming I only to hear it a couple times.

+str8updroppnkids I read that as "stroked to this"...

so...USAD have 12 songs....WYDS have 11 and TSSF self titled have 10 so......................ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!

I AM FANGIRLING SO HARD RIGHT NOW FUCK

You don't see many punk bands with songs changing betwen 3/4 and 5/4 time signatures. they really know what thery're doing, just saying.

What does that mean?

@Cody Ellis well, an easy way to tell is that you count to three instead of four for every beat, if the song's in 3/4 that is. Go look time signatures up, i love experimenting with that sort of stuff when i write music!

@Tommy S Awesome! Thank you!

@Tommy S this is one of my favourite all time tunes because of those crafty signature changes. First time listening through was an epic one, going to tap along in a standard 4/4 to realise, 'oh wait!, holy shit! Yeeees boys!!' Truly talented!

This is why i tell everyone they are one of the smartest pop punk bands out there. They know theory very well. It comes across even in their tuning for some songs.

Love how they use colors of the spectrum like light teal navy blue dark blue, it'd be cool if they started using red when they made love songs or something in the future

The story so far will never make a love song

@Cindy Valencia In Parkers harcore band Snarl, he uses red as anger. The line is, "Dead in my sights, beam on the head
I feel the heat now yeah I'm seein' red"

Actually they have in the sense of navy blue partically

This band has transcended pop-punk and become something different altogether.

got new neck deep song coming out may 12th, knuckle puck album this summer, this album is here im one excited motherfucker right now

this is fire?

I'm a little dissappointed to be honest. Lyrically they're still fantastic but none of these songs are half as catchy or memorable as "Empty Space", "Quicksand" or "Stifled" for example. Maybe it's just me who has too much of a soft spot for pop-punk, but this album felt more "emo"-oriented than anything else they've done.

Oh well.

Really? This album is good as fuck. How you are is really fuckin catchy. Also and emo feel? Wtf? This is what pop punk is? Nobody has released any good pop punk except for, "the story so far" in years.

@mycrunkisfree My point is that the hooks are seriously underwhelming in comparison to their first two LP's. I've given this album many shots and very few songs stick. Just my two cents, of course.

Fuck hooks, this shit has odd time-signatures.
Now that is interesting.

+Charlie's Drum Corner It'll grow on ya.

Pat Tynan best response lmao

Yo was that Mat Kerekes?

Its all parker

it is 

yes it's mat kerekes. one, he voice is very distinctive it's obviously him. two, they don't always credit gust vocalists. three, I confronted mat at warped tour and he just smiled and laughed and said "noooo? " then I asked him to to say "same thing" and pronounced it exactly the same way in the song lol. he laughed more and said alright alright no more. never actually confirmed it but he couldn't stop laughing every time I accused him of it.

it's Corey Taylor

I think it might be a couple keys lower actually, I think he normally goes up to about high C, and this sounds like he is only going up to the B flat above middle C. He has an amazing range for sure!

Great song to end the album

MY LIFE IS COMPLETE

i'd go gay for Parker

@BasilHawkinz oh yeah no doubt and for joe taylor and ben barlow:)

@BasilHawkinz Just read my mind haha!

Bro who wouldn't

I'm pretty gay for Parker too, if gay means happy.

I am so happy with this album. Their songs are GENIUS.

@okaywhatever they get stuck in my head after one listen.. so damn catchy and so good
