Basement - Crickets Throw Their Voice Lyrics






If it all worked out we would live in a different house.
We would live in a different town.
This is a brand new start; clear body, broken heart.
I'll come visit you when I get the chance.
Breathing's not easy when you're underwater.
I am drowning and you're keeping me under.
Close your eyes, sleep outside. it's warmer than in here.
I'll be fine, I'll run and hide. I wish I could stay here.
You're still in my head. my mind's convinced that you never left.
I'm counting down till I see you next.
I still compare everything to your silhouette.
How can I forget what is perfect?

    I learned to make a cricket sound from YouTube tutorials 4 years ago and now I'm here. Life is funny sometimes.

  9. J.... B....

  10. I.... l....

    Those 34 dislikes can suck it

  12. A.... R....

    just discovered from my best bud, and this band/genre is fucken great. Its exactly what's been satisfying my music craving. I'm sticking with these guys for a long while.

  13. S.... Y....

    S.... Y....

    S.... Y....

  16. e.... ....

  17. N.... V....

    i thought i was listening to an Emery song at first during the beginning of the song... anyone else?

  18. C.... ....

    This makes me want to eat pizza and drink bottled soda and go cry in my friend's basement

    C.... ....

    +Contrariwise37 ikr mate!!

    C.... ....

    Contrariwise37
    'basement'

  19. Q.... ....

    I stll compare everything to your siluete
    How can I forget what is perfect

  20. m.... ....

    Former states, northern, citizen, heart to heart, coldfront

  21. m.... ....

    If you like these dudes check out title fight, daylight/Superheaven, balance and composure, wester, Forrest, hindsights, Ivy League, absent youth, collision, forever losing sleep. These are my favorite bands and they all have gruffy voices and that emo sound like this. Also check out flawless, featherweight, and free throw. These bands are really hard to find so I thought I'd share with you all the really good ones I've found in the last couple years. I will say daylight takes the cake though. It doesn't get any better than daylight.

    m.... ....

    "boom boom kid" and "Fun People"

    m.... ....

    Even though it has been mentioned: HOW COULD YOU FORGET CITIZEN? Thanks for the recommendations regardless

    m.... ....

    idk how you aint throw Title Fight in there

    m.... ....

    no1lieksu he did

    m.... ....

    Do you still listen to those bands?

  22. P.... B....

    IF IT ALL WORKED OUT WE WOULD LIVE IN A DIFFERENT HOUSE, WE WOULD LIVE IN A DIFFERENT TOWN

  23. D.... K....

    J.... O....

    J.... O....

    J.... O....

    J.... O....

    That's so crazy. Time truly does fly by. Thank you for telling me!

  26. T.... O....

    "Hi, we're Basement from Ipswitch, UK" 
    This on their live from London set was so brilliant, so many bodies flopping everywhere!!!!!!

  27. J.... G....

    such a great song !!

  28. t.... ....

    If I were to describe them it would be "post-hipster-pretentious-core".

    t.... ....

    Pretentious?! :o i wonder what you meant by that

  29. S.... E....

    Sounds like you just described La Dispute

    S.... E....

    Senor Egbertino i fuckin love la dispute

  30. J.... M....

    Jease dude. Pissy much?

  31. V.... A....

    THIS IS A BRAND NEW START! CLEAR BODY, BROKEN HEART!

  32. J.... ....

    The vocalist and one of the guitar players are.

  33. P.... ....

    Well put.

  34. B.... ....

    Cool. Colourmeinkindness is like my favorite album ever except for anything by the beatles, and the straight edge thing wouldnt change that, i was just curious.

  35. B.... ....

    Just wondering, its not like it would make or break the music for me

  36. M.... ....

    I mean this song is pretty amazing.

  37. A.... C....

    I mean Basement is as popular to tumblr kids.

  38. B.... ....

    these guys straight edge?

  39. C.... W....

    I wish Basement could've stayed here..

  40. G.... ....

    Holy fuck that fucking ending rips me apartttttttttttttttttttt this stuff is better than any drug....I WISH I COULD STAY HERE. Come back guys...I need you.

  41. K.... G....

    Kids these days are trying so had

  42. J.... T....

    Why because Title Fight got bigger? Their music is still good... Stop making music a competition. Support all bands that rule and fuck the rest. I'm tired of kids like you.

  43. R.... K....

    Best album ever.

  44. J.... T....

    The lyrics of this song , beautiful !

  45. Y.... H....

    lol this shit is funny ^^

  46. B.... ....

    your statement equels "I swallow scrotum for a living"

  47. t.... ....

    post-post-post-indie-punk-core. good stuff.

  48. S.... B....

    I miss these dudes

  49. C.... G....

    Omg stop talking like you know what constitutes a certain band or song for a certain genre. Get real, this is YouTube.

  50. D.... M....

    For everyone arguing just shut the Fuck up and listen goddamn you are all little bitches basement roolz

  51. H.... ....

    haha crabby love

  52. D.... ....

    It's flagged because people get too defensive over scene bands and over all comparing a band in a underground music scene to a bigger band. XXOAPTRAGEDY is proof it's only okay to compare other underground bands. For some disappointingly sad reason.

  53. A.... E....

    Too soon...

  54. n.... ....

    ha it's funny you should say that...i just started listening to basement, and i can't help but love them and be reminded of lifetime. dude has a great voice.

  55. T.... C....

    Awesome

  56. R.... ....

    In my opinion, this is grunge-influenced emo/punk rock. Their lyrics and their tone is very sad and depressive. That's why i think they're unique

  57. L.... P....

    The music they play is not hardcore. Sure they're within the scene and all individually as people, live the hardcore lifestyle, but they do not play hardcore music.

  58. 2.... ....

    yea definitely man, has to be the realest music out there

  59. L.... P....

    It doesn't have to sound the same. They're both generally apart of the revival of screamo/emo sounding music that died after the 90's. Even if they don't sound identical, they still have a common genre.

  60. G.... R....

    Couldn't agree with this guy more. Stumbled on them a few days ago, best stuff ever. No lie.

  61. G.... M....

    First few lines hit me so hard.

  62. J.... S....

    That's there last album you fucktard, then there breaking up. Fuck you

  63. C.... ....

    10 months old but fuck it, Balance and Composure

  64. W.... ....

    @dannycast210 infact if you listen to their first demo, they sound just like title fight haha

  65. D.... C....

    People please quit referring this band to Title Fight they sound nothing alike. Please.

  66. a.... r....

    Cant believe these guys are spilting up :( their music ment so much to me and will allways do hope the reform in the furture

  67. 2.... ....

    you guys should check out Citizen and Turnover if you haven't already. like Basement they have that whole indie-punk/emo kinda deal

  68. c.... ....

    This is the best song i've ever heard in my entire life

  69. E.... ....

    So, here's the story of my life.
    My girlfriend of a year and two months is moving away to college. It sucks because I feel like I'm purposely trying to make her stay. Even though I should probably encourage her to get out of this shitty town. Either way I feel like I'm "keeping [her] under." Realizing that I'm that person, kills me.

  70. h.... ....

    These guys were fucking amazing in Australia, saw them a week ago and was not slightly devoed.

  71. v.... ....

    I love this song ♥

  72. M.... K....

    Haha, true. I was meant to reply to the other guys comment btw, haha, sorry.

  73. L.... P....

    Oh yeah, I know. I was just recommending Defeater because that was the first to come into my mind.

  74. M.... K....

    Villa Rise, Touche Amore, Perspectives, there's fucking heaps man just keep eyes out 0.0

  75. M.... ....

    Lee (Y)

  76. g.... c....

    great band.

  77. L.... W....

    i saw these last night with your demise, they were easily the best band of the night

  78. v.... ....

    can't fault this band, get to see them in 2 days

  79. C.... D....

    I think I would like this significantly more if the vox were more prominent in the mix.

  80. H.... ....

    Lifetime - Jersey's Best Dancers (1997)
    Saves The Day - Can't Slow Down (1998)
    Give these album's a listen if you like Basement.

  81. C.... S....

    Soooooooooooooo good! english title fight!

  82. C.... A....

    Man, I don't see how this band is at all similar to Defeater....I would say Balance and Composure or Title Fight

  83. J.... B....

    @MrAndroid30 tigers jaw, polar bear club.

  84. L.... P....

    @H00ZAY The Red, White, and Blues; Cowardice. A lot of their older stuff. It's not like identical, but similar to an extent.

  85. H.... ....

    @XXOAPTRAGEDY Defeater? Which songs? o.O

  86. J.... ....

    @MrAndroid30 Daylight

  87. L.... P....

    @DeadReanimation Just go home. We Are The Ocean is so shitty. I agree with the guy below you on Title Fight. Also, some of Defeater's stuff is like this.

  88. D.... ....

    @MrAndroid30 Reminds me a bit of We are the Ocean and lighter post-hardcore bands.

  89. L.... ....

    @MrAndroid30 Title Fight?

  90. D.... H....

    Great song! No any other bands like this?
