Manchester Orchestra - The Silence (Official Music Video) 

Your reactions to this song and video have blown our minds. There is no better feeling than when music connects to strangers and we can share it together. We love you all. Stay tuned - MO

My daughter became so very ill, and we discovered this song... throughout her last 8 months we listened to this often. I then played it for her one last time as she was leaving this world...there will always be a special place in my heart for this one. Thank you. ❤

This song is truly an emotional masterpiece as well as a sensory masterpiece. Those 2 characteristics are so rare and yet seem totally and effortlessly combined in this true work of art. It’s the music, instruments, rhythm, chords, words, etc… that makes tired neurons start firing again and awakens places in my mind that have been dormant for a while. Thank you ❤

I stumbles acrossnthis song today. Its hauntingly beautiful ❤

Such a beautiful song we're blessed with. Beautiful written, sang and the music is just heartily made. Only love❤

Music that hits you on a higher/deeper level on the right time...a couple a day's ago i heard this for the first time I needed it...this isnt just music...this is soulfood...thank you🙏❤💯

"The Silence" by Manchester Orchestra is a song about feelings of isolation, fear, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics narrate the struggles of the protagonist as they grapple with their own existence and the overwhelming pressure of society. The song delves into the themes of mortality, hopelessness, and the constant battle to break free from the silence and find genuine connection with others. Overall, it is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels cold and detached.

My daughter was 28 yrs old when she passed. This song (CD) was in her radio. You have no idea how much this song connects me to her. Much love 🥰

When an 8 minute song feels like it's too short, you know you did something right. Wow.

After all these years, I still feel the need to point out how wonderful this song is.

Faced with such a song, one can't help wondering whether the artists, in writing and performing it, were aware that they were creating such a masterpiece. In the end, it doesn't really matter - a work of art always eludes its author. Thank you for letting this one elude you

Why do I deserve the science To feel better about you? At a loss I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me All the while you waste away, you're asking "Did I really need another one to take me down?" Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" That was something your father had burned in me 20 hours out of Homestake eternity You can go anywhere but you are where you came from Little girl, you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here

I've lost my entire family through natural death and irreconcilable differences and felt so terribly along and it's with these kind of songs that I hang on and find connections again. Keep writing songs like this and saving lost souls like mine. Love you guys!!

I lost my 24yr old youngest son 10 weeks ago, and my passion for life died with him I'm now simply exsisting. This song found me at my worst darkest, saddest day of my life. I listen to it everyday and weep and his voice and its beat, resonates in a messed up way. Somehow It console and comforts me. It makes me wanna scream and and at the sane tme curl up in bed and sleep with the hope of being waken up by him and realising it was just a bad dream. Haven't had a decent nite of sleep since woken up to the news of this tragedy. Missing him so much, Zakk was such a humble amazing loving son. I was his legend, and he was mine. FLY HIGH BOY! THank you MO for such a masterpiece. Can't stop listening to it. xoxo

I've listened to this song a hundred times. And I still get goosebumps. Thank you for this fantastic song.

This song hits on so many levels .. musically it wraps you in a blanket and then the lyrics just hit you right in the soul. Fantastic song and forever will be part of my top 100 songs of all time ❤️ thank you for this gift. 🙏🏻

one of the greatest pieces of modern music. The emotion it brings, no mater what your point of view. Simply a master piece.

I can't thank you enough for this song ....I just found it the other day....and I have so much inside my head and my heart ....this is pain .it is misery...it is comfort ...it is understanding...it fills the gaps where I can't express how I feel... thank you.....I'll listen another thousand times..and cry while I smile and grimmes and I actually be ok with letting myself feel

Voltando aqui depois de 4 anos pra dizer que essa música continua sendo uma das minhas favoritas

We wanted to create a really special live performance for our fans, seeing as we haven’t been able to be together in quite awhile. So we returned to the place where we recorded A Black Mile To The Surface and played the album in its entirety. We are so excited to share this film, for free, to everybody. This album and your reception to it has exceeded our expectations, and we felt this the best way to thank you all for supporting our music. This feels like the perfect way to close the Black Mile chapter, and I’m excited to say that this is more than just a concert. It’s also the beginning. Manchester Orchestra CS-vid. 2/12/21. 8pm est.

After dozens and dozens of listens, I still get that emotional lump in my throat every time I hear this.

This song found me, i never asked for it, but damn I needed it. Its weird, how different silences can have the same tune. Thank you for being the voice to mine, No better words could explain them.

This song will break you all the way down and make you feel all your raw human emotions in pure form. I've listened to this song over the last year and it always made me pause and reflect on being a parent, child, human. Now as my wife enters treatment for a stage 4 cancer diagnosis it hits in a whole new way. You do everything you can to help your kids grow and become great people and yet in the end you can't protect them from everything. Thank you so much for this song.

Goosebumps every time. You are wonderful Manchester Orchestra. Just wonderful.

a song I'm getting never out of my head again. so slow but so full of energy, amazing

I watched my wife take her last breath as the life left her on January 1 of this year. It was a 21 day battle with cancer she couldn't win. I've listened to this song at least a hundred times since that moment. I've found my own meaning and comfort in it. Thank you.

Esse som me leva a outra Dimensão,Algumas Musicas conseguem transcender e essa uma delas em mina Humilde opinião...Linda Demais...

I’m crying at the amount of humanity in these comments. This is the real power of music, I can’t express how much I love this song.

Vaya pasada de canción, no la conocía. Suscrito de por vida. Me encantan estas canciones.

My son passed 2:28 away from an overdose at my house. After they removed his body for the last time, I went to put a favorite song that we shared and this song for no reason was on CS-vid when I put CS-vid on. It's become a tribute to my son. I play this song several times a day. I absolutely love it and I love and miss my son

Só por voltarem a tocar no brasil quero muito ir no show de vocês,o som de vocês é muito bom ,aquele som q arrepia q te conforta te leva a uma viagem top top nunca tinha escutado nada parecido,parabéns sucesso gurizada.

God works in mysterious ways, didn't think he did it thru CS-vid! I discovered this song a few days ago and I can't stop crying. I'm 73 and am having a hard time coping with things I have no control over. This song is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I'm learning the guitar and as a beginner it can be difficult at times. This song has taught me to continue to work thru my obstacles and never, ever quit. God bless you, your family, the band, and the wonderful music you all make together. Early in the clip you show the keyboard player with his hands on the book of chords. Most of them are clear enough to copy down. Did you do this purposely? If so, thankyou so much for doing that. If not, then I guess God was being extra mysterious on that day. Thank you from Canada and I hope that some day you will be in the Toronto area. Seeing you live is on the top of my bucket list

Beautiful. Just before 7days of the first anniversary of my breakup, I found it. 💜❤️🦋🔱

Восхитительный вокал и не только, вот какой музыки не хватает сейчас в нашем мире, даём слушать всем молодым, пускай услышат музыку, да именно настоящую музыку, это и есть та музыка, которую уже давно мы не слышим😢

Atmosphere, melody, mood, feeling, ... everything fits - just incredibly intense and beautiful!

This song, resonates with me on a level I just really can't explain. I'm grateful I came across this gem. "Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here"

Why do I deserve the silence to feel better about you? At a loss I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the silence Anatomically proved that you don't need me Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the silence Anatomically proved that you don't need me All the while you waste away, you're asking "Did I really need another one to take me down?" Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" That was something your father had burned in me Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity You can go anywhere but you are where you came from Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here

One unique song, unlike any other in my opinion, major props to the Manchester Orchestra

SO AMAZING IM MOVED INSTANTLY ,SONGS LIKE THIS MAKE YOU REMEMBER HOW SPECIAL LIFE IS

I'm 65 and this tune just blown my mind what an amazing band of young people wish I hear more of your amazing music. Thank you for sharing.

The best musical art that Ive heard in a very long time. Like "Mazzy Star" meets "Roger Waters" , "REM" and"Placebo". I'm hooked...Thank You. Rock on fellas...rock on .,...

Here I am, fighting terminal cancer. This song IS life. I do not remember how I came across it, but from moment one is became a special one for me. Not a day goes by without me listening to it, at times "on repeat". Thank you, Manchester Orchestra. You created a masterpiece....a heartbeat. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seeing these guys live was the best show I've been to. Can never get enough of MO.

This song always gives me goosebumps when i hear it and it is one of my all-time favorit songs, one of those songs you wish would never stop playing and that just touches your heart in a certain way❤

This song touches my deepest emotions. It shakes me to the core every time I listen to it! love you!

Faz pouco que conheço esta banda e já acho maravilhosa não para de escutar estas músicas maravilhosas

You guys put on an amazing concert last night at Red Rocks Amphitheater. I didn't want it to end! I was a huge fan before but now even more so. Please come back and headline so I can get more of you.

I have terminal metastatic breast cancer, I'm fighting like a demon though. This song really resonates with me. I see the 'Silence' as the cancer. But I'm not accepting my prognosis. I've already lived 3 years past what my oncologist expected, I plan to stay here a lot longer! The silence can be broken. 💗💗💗💗🤞 Thank you for the strength and complexity of this song. You guys rock!!! Love and light. Xxxxx Edit: Since writing my thanks to Manchester Orchestra for this incredible song, I've received the most beautiful messages of support from truly beautiful people. Thank you so much for taking the time to lift my spirits and making me smile on a daily basis. There are truly beautiful people in the world, thank you for helping this Phoenix rise. 🔥🙏💕 Love and light to you all. X 27/1/2022….5 1/2 years on and still fighting. 🙏🏻

Muito top essa música.. Desde melodia até a voz Tudo casou direito..

What a pure voice. Not enough space to say what this does for my 65 year OLD self so will only say thank you for sharing your talents with me.

Une chanson magnifique

I’ve seen some epic live bands (Muse, Journey, Foo Fighters, etc.) but I walked away from the last Manchester Orchestra show completely convinced it’s the best show I’ve ever seen. Their mix of powerful volume with penetrating clarity is something I’ve never experienced live before. It was kind of surreal.

Listening to this song is either an intense epiphany, a spiritual awakening or a mental breakdown, maybe all three at once. I'm so thankful that I can experience something so beautiful ❤️

The coherence of instruments after he sings that first "reflection" is so powerful that I feel a magical adrenaline rush through my body, and I experience that every time again hearing this song❤

This song is everything ❤🖤❤

I'm in a real dark place, but this song makes me excited about the future! I'm not as anxious about it now! Bless you, guys! ❤ This is pure therapy! ❤

You make great men. I can only imagine amazing fathers. I’ve loved this on many levels over time. ❤

What an amazing voice. Goosebumps all the time i hear this incredible tune.

This song digs into your soul and doesn't let up, great vocals and haunting lyrics, this is now one of my favorites.

This song gives me goosebumps love this song so much

Goosebumps ❤

This song, whether the ones playing it or listening to it, know or or not, is prayer. What is art, but ultimate prayer?

Una canción muy hermosa 😭❤

At the ripe age of 65, I'm still impressed with how these young bands have kept music worthy of a listen. Thank you for helping me reminisce about the past.

My husband is terminally ill with Alzheimer's. He hardly communicates with us anymore, and doesn't react to any stimuli. Once, I was listening to this song - and on a whim - I put the headphones on his head. Suddenly his expression changed and soon, tears were streaming down his face

All thanks to my cousin who introduced me to your band and this song specifically. WOW!! ever since i have been listening to this every day. this performance even though video gives me the goosies, i envy the live audience there who got to witness it. Kudos!

Bardzo dobra kapela ! Jak to się stało, że nie znam ??

I've had a lot if trauma in my life, most of the time I feel alone in this world, I have no one to turn to this song I play over and over maybe 5 or 6 times a day it's like a drug it just hits me differently I think

Band. Don’t take this lightly. Your making a difference in your music. Your changing life’s. We play this for a fellow soldier. Lost in combat. You don’t even know how far this stretches in our world. Thank you. 7th S. F. GROUP.

No justice in this world. Three years since i commented here. From 5:54 to 7:20 - epic - this is one of the most beautifully crafted and orchestrated tracks ever. You need to get this into a film soundtrack. Stay Blessed.

I'm Robert God made me schizophrenic. My dad died when I was 19 n I started drugs n done a lot I died three different times. I lived destruction lost everything. I finally quit at 35 and I lost my mind seeing n hearing the voice's was so much I would cry out to God. I spent 2 yrs in a mental hospital where I found God I prayed not for myself but for him I said to him I cant imagine what you go through n now the voices stopped. I had to love myself before he'd help me. This song helps it slows everything down. Thank you for this song

CS-vid obrigado por me levar a esse som ,essa banda... sem palavras pfto

Volviéndola a escuchar hoy en día,me la descubrió una persona muy especial en mi vida.

Kocham ten utwór ❤

Takes a hot minute to get started, but well worth the wait, That's some good sound you guys got going there.

This is the most beautiful song in the whole world. I’ve listened to it for the last 2 years and cannot get enough

It might sound a little strange but that song feels like it was meant to be a message to me from my lost tribe in a different dimension or something. My soul remembers what you are talking about on a deeper level than most can understand! I know it sounds weird huh?😢❤❤

simplesmente perfeito

Damn. Still hits me in the feels after all the time.

This song should be a #1 hit on the billboard charts. Sad state of music now a days. I know how you feel.

Bad ass sound !!!!!! Definitely going on my play list ! Love the vocals

One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard, and I didn't know this band existed until about nine minutes ago.

I listened to this song the other night and bawled my eyes out. It articulates so well the relationship I'm currently having with GOD and the fear I experience in having children (to be cursed by my ancestry). Can't fucking wait to see y'all live on the 28th!

Masterpiece.nothing more to say.This voice is epic

Listening to Manchester Orchestra's beautiful songs while reading these comments just makes me cry... So strong!

My son didn't make it past the first verse before he was overcome with sorrow. What a strange effect this song has on people in my life.?!

Legendary…!!!!!! This song is an emotional state of mind …. It pauses everything except your own story ….you automatically start to reflect what you go through once you play this piece of art….❤ Wrecked with this song…..thank you guys 👏👏

I cannot begin to tell you what this album (and this song in particular) means to me. I’m a grown woman with children... when I first heard this song, it reminded me of our own journey into parenthood. The tiny moments of seeing the baby on the ultrasound, the big moments of anxiety, the constant questioning, especially by my husband, like did they get the best parts of us or the worst? Are we doing everything right? I was heavy into listening to this album on repeat when one of my best friends, whom I was in a crib with when we were newborn babies 37 years ago, was losing her life to cancer this past summer. This song turned from reminding me of my emotions associated with my own children to experiencing immense empathy for her mother as she lost her only daughter, and I cried for entirely different reasons as I experienced it in a whole new way. I actually listened to it on the way to say goodbye to her while she was still lucid and knew she had only days left. I also think about my own dad, whom I lost 20 years ago, and how he must have felt leaving this world with his wife and children behind. One of the last things he said to me was, “Who is going to take care of you?” before he went to the hospital and never came home again. I’m sure none of the band members will ever read this, but if you do, I want you to know how much your music means to me. It hits so many raw nerves at the same time for different reasons and I am grateful it takes me to all those different spaces of reflection every time I listen to it. Thank you. ❤️

❤❤❤❤bella melodia!

What an amazing song and music video, thousands of people all breathing and feeling as one, sharing what we have in common which is a love for this band. Human connection is what makes life worth living, and this is the oppitamy of that. Thank you MO, love you guys

This song kills me I have gone threw so much depression since I was 14 I'm 36 now and still struggling. Have a mind I can't stop thinking in ways I cannot explain in words. This song got me to my knees physically and mentally quite alot. I've always said music can change you in ways I don't think alot of people have that feeling, if you feel what i mean deep down you know what I'm talking about. Not all battles are with scars on your body. If you've seen death you seen struggle you've seen remorse you've seen people turn into a monster then you know where I'm coming from. Sorry for the rant

Been a long time since I've heard such a powerful music ❤️

That's powerful. The beat and the cintrast to the vocal is extraordinary

The moment when you hear the first tones of a song and you exactly know you like it.

Im in tears...that was EXACTLY what i needed. Our Mother has dementia and is not exactly the best mother. But now im glad that i got here.

WOOOOW sin palabra, acabo de desdcrubrir esta banda y me he enamorado, su voz es genial, hermosa!!! esta canción la amé!!! que talento! Gracias por brindarnos musica para nuestra vida!!

Absolutely beautiful. I've listened to this over and over again. My husband will say, "don't think I've ever heard this song before." When it's been 100 times a day. 😂

This is by far the best song i have been so fortunate to experience in my life. Thank you.

Love this song, great video!
