Brand New - Daisy Lyrics






[Recording:]
And we sing this morning
that wonderful and grand old message.
I don't know about you but I never get tired of it
Number 99: Just As I Am.

I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a river that is all dried up
I'm an ocean nothing floats on
I'm a sky that nothing wants to fly in
I'm a sun that doesn't burn hot
I'm a moon that never shows it's face
I'm a mouth that doesn't smile
I'm a word that no one ever wants to say.

[Child Speaking:]
I don't wanna be,
He wasn't finding anybody when he was on the shelf
I saw him in my dream

I'm a mountain that has been moved
I'm a fugitive that has no legs to run
I'm a preacher with no pulpit
Spewing a sermon that goes on and on and on.

Well if we take all these things
and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds,
to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way.
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time
to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way.

Well if we take all these things
and we bury them fast
And we'll pray that they turn into seeds,
to roots and then grass
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way
Or if the sky opened up and started pouring rain
Like he knew it was time
to start things over again
It'd be all right, it's all right,
it'd be easier that way

    Very underrated album

  2. F.... ....

    Seether- Nobody praying for me

    Check out this shameless band ripping off Brand New Daisy. I just stumbled across it, sickening

  3. D.... ....

    Clay Morrow

  4. A.... F....

    Woke up crying from dreaming of Her.
    Don’t even remember the dream.
    Fuck.

  5. S.... ....

    Bought this album the day it dropped. Smoked stupid amounts of loud to it, still have the album today. Going to re-listen soon.

  6. D.... S....

    [Backing vocals]
    We’re dumb enough to retain
    While you look down with a frown
    We don’t know our right
    Increase the flood…
    Don’t say we weren’t scared
    And don’t mention all the good
    And don’t say he’s alone

    Increase the flood…

    B.... O....

    I was looking for the backing vocals, thank youuuuuuuu

    B.... O....

    This is amazing thanks so much I could never figure out what the backing vocals were saying!

  8. A.... R....

    Nonstop

  9. B.... D....

    Anyone still listening?

  10. D.... G....

    The album is beautifully chaotic.

  11. K.... G....

    here in 2019..

  12. x.... ....

    I always thought he sings: "I'm the preacher with no hope in".
    Oh damn, the realisation...

    x.... ....

    No pulpit ^

  13. M.... f....

    I remember listening to this song depressed as fuck. Listening to this song again now that I'm okay is making me a little sad, it brings back memories of hard times and old friends. It's pretty fucking great.

  14. P.... S....

    Still my second favorite by Brand New next to "Okay I Believe You, But my Tommy Gun Doesn't"

  15. P.... S....

    A dark day it will be, when this group stops making music

    P.... S....

    Science fiction is their last album. They are no more now....

  16. S.... ....

    Every album they release is 100% listenable. There are no songs to skip.
    They really help me with my manic/depressive episodes; it's a band like none other.

  17. J.... P....

    This is outright amazing. Simple

  18. E.... C....

    My big brother was 27 and he recently passed away. He wzs my best friend and we were 6 years apart but we were always together we lived in the same rooms for almost a total of 4 years. He had severe depression and he was bipolar so he didn't know how to open up but he always had a bad liver which is the case of him passing. he never had a serious relationship but he had me. Well he showed me this song last year because he was looking up daisy and daisies are my favorite and he showed me this song and I just love this song it really holds me close to our memories💔💔💔

  19. R.... S....

    This album is actually really Worthy . This track is one of the few great ones. It's basically talk to the creater; he's saying that if everything we're to die, it would be alright because everyone would be dead and without conscious to realize it. This is very powerful stuff and I hope to one day feel the music.

  20. W.... B....

    anyone else relate to the first verse as much as i do? (a lot if you needed to know to compare yours to mine)

  21. T.... C....

    I just watched an epidode of bicard from Star Trek.. Episode this. Hahaha season 5 of next gen for got what episode but trump and vlad were on the island arms open wide with the

    T.... C....

    Thanks Tyler.. it's this kinda stuff that helps keep any thought that I might enjoy Star Trek buried deep under a pile of shit that is safe from me ever accidentally thinking I might enjoy watching the series.

  22. B.... B....

    Thankyou I feel brand-new

  23. B.... F....

    0:49 lmao he's a nigga

  24. j.... j....

    whos still here?

    j.... j....

    It's hard to leave with that fox fucking with my equilibrium. Seriously, I'd get so close and then, bam... that God-damned fox jumps over and I'm back at the start.

    j.... j....

    Still? Well, as I said, I am having a real difficult time figuring out how to leave.

  25. b.... b....

    This is killing me. It's no one. Two separate words. Not noon with an e.

  26. D.... S....

  27. P.... B....

    Adventure club is the song I listen to brand new daisy

  28. J.... T....

    quakers

  29. I.... J....

    This song gives me feelings I can’t justify but I love it

  30. N.... A....

  34. e.... s....

    Seether did it better

    e.... s....

    evan scott You know that's kinda true

  35. f.... c....

    brand new is the shit 👌🏻👌🏻

  36. R.... ....

    Separate the art from the artist. This is still one of my favorite songs.

  37. �.... �....

    fox got caught masturbating

  38. J.... C....

    Daisy is an underated album

  39. D.... S....

    All the ghosts of los angeles

  40. C.... F....

    I cried when I first heard this song

  41. K.... K....

    I've seen them play live and I would definitely go see them again.

    K.... K....

    Huge fan since Your Favorite Weapon and seen them live many times. Not their strongest quality, in fact, their live performances leave a whole lot to be desired.
    It would be nice if jesse worked to perfect this area of his craft.. too late now.

  42. T.... ....

    0:15


    1:24

  43. T.... M....

    This video is dope

  44. 4.... P....

    I had a dog named daisy with my son

  45. 4.... P....

    My family dies loving the mountains

  46. 4.... P....

    My pictures on a shelf of whom passed away

  47. M.... ....

    I like it at 1.5x Speed.

  48. �.... �....

    my entire existence in one song

  49. M.... M....

    This sounds like Seether's Nobody Praying For Me

  50. D.... G....

    I Am What I Am

  51. f.... a....

    I don't know how I found Brand new but I've been listening to them for a few years now and they bring back so many memories. they're so, so good.

  52. j.... ....

    It's been 8 years Brand New, it's reaching that inevitable time...

  53. S.... L....

    my brothers named my dog after this album

  54. w.... ....

    I do believe when he says sky opened up and started pouring rain like he knew it was time to start things over again, that he's referring to the story of Noahs ark when God flooded the Earth to start over again

    w.... ....

    Brand New's songs have tonnes of biblical references all through them

  55. s.... ....

    drunkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  56. s.... t....

    how the hell is seethers nobody praying for me, exactly like this? seether didn't steal it, if you think they did well..you're and idiot

    s.... t....

    +Clay McBride, brand new is emo trash, so whats your point

    s.... t....

    cole dobler that's okay, I'm emo trash

    s.... t....

    Every artist that exists has either accidently or intentionally stolen aspects of others music, thats what music is all about, taking knowledge of your peers and turning into your own thing. The only people who care about "copying" down to the cords are laywers who want to make a quick buck.

    s.... t....

    MoarSpineInJellyfish exactly! Seether Clearly did a bad rip off of this!

    s.... t....

    seriously I can hear it so well... Its the same fucking melody

  57. D.... M....

    Oh interesting

  58. D.... S....

    larry allens jason priestly?

  59. T.... M....

    Well if we take all these things
    And we bury them fast we pray that they turn into seeds

  60. D.... S....

    Stay Together for the Kids - blink-182 (Lyrics)                     How do I make a username?

  61. f.... ....

    S.... F....

    David B: _Please!_ Nickleback doesn't even come close to Seether!

    S.... F....

    Honesty, seethe is better than this

    S.... F....

    Seether*

  68. D.... G....

    Anyone else know brand new songs with excerpts like this?

    D.... G....

    degausser

    D.... G....

    +Jake Murphy I meant kind of like the "he wasn't finding any body when he was on the shelf" or the begging part. I know their first song from this album used an except. I'm mainly just talking about the other recordings they have. Though those are great songs.

    D.... G....

    +Handsome Jack there is also Play crack the sky by brand-new which has like a shoutout to another one of their songs at the end I think the shoutout is to this song but I'm not too sure

    D.... G....

    +Sadclown4268 the shout out at the end is to a Beatles song

    D.... G....

    I will!

  69. t.... m....

    2:12 " I was dumb enough to retain, still you look down with frown. If I dont know my rights from my wrongs then release your flood. Just dont promise you'll be there as you leave and dont pretend that he meant anything(?) for you it was never enough, so release your flood your flood your flood..."

  70. I.... a....

    *insert seether reference here*

    I.... a....

    I'm a whisper lost upon wind
    I'm the ember that'll burn you down
    I'm the water that'll drown you
    I'm a star that's just a black hole now
    I'm a terrifying danger
    I'm a fruit decaying on the ground
    I'm a swallower of anger
    I'm the tree that falls that makes no sound
    I make no sound......... These are the lyrics in question

    I.... a....

    @Trentonian 0​ Holy shit it does. That can't be a coincidence.

    I.... a....

    Not complaining honestly... both are amazing songs

    I.... a....

    So @Mr. Nerve Damage , I believe I am right.

    I.... a....

    @Trentonian 0
    Cool.

  71. X.... ....

    He's the "N" word D=

    X.... ....

    elaborate... you bandwagon fuck

    X.... ....

    @losgryfog Lol butthurt

    X.... ....

    @losgryfog No reason, really. Just wanted to restart this argument

    X.... ....

    Just my two cents but, how is he racist for saying he's black and sang the "N" word? He wasn't calling anyone the "N" word. Plus him pointing out he's black isn't really racist. That's like saying "My eyes are green" except he's pointing out the color of the skin on his bones. Your accusation makes no sense... ;-;

    X.... ....

    Nigga you must ride the small bus

  72. S.... M....

    I can't stop listening to this plz help

  73. B.... ....

    "Just As I Am" is a great hymn.

  74. m.... ....

    Really like how you made this.

  75. S.... M....

    anyone else here because of smallville?

    S.... M....

    +Handsome Jack season 9 episode 5

    S.... M....

    +TheofficialNess holy crap! Me and my friends watch the first seasons of that show because we find it funny on how outdated it is. It was also all of my childhood.

    S.... M....

    +Handsome Jack The first season may be outdated now. But it was ahead of its time then.

    S.... M....

    +TheofficialNess it really was! It started the super hero show craze. And it was really fun to watch

    S.... M....

    season 8 ep 5 bring me here :v

  76. S.... J....

    That little fox looks like it got caught masturbating..

    S.... J....

    +Shane Jackson It was actually molesting the rabbit.

  77. N.... K....

    Just listen to this video at 2x speed

    N.... K....

    Nathan Karas hahahha its like the dance version! Hilarious

  78. K.... ....

    I love the monologues they put in the back of their songs. "Don't say we weren't scared. Increase the flood."

    K.... ....

    What is that from? "Don't say we weren't scared increase the flood"

    K.... ....

    +Handsome Jack it's what's said under the main lyrics

    K.... ....

    +Jake Murphy ohhhh thanks!

  79. A.... L....

    When the little girl talks what does it mean metaphorically

    A.... L....

    +Chef Larom ok but please I need some explanation as to what it means

    A.... L....

    I think it mean clinging on to youth and/or having trouble putting your thoughts into words? That's what I always got from it.

    A.... L....

    +X Ghost X I think he's referring to a figure of Jesus on a shelf (hence the hymn at the beginning) it would make sense "he wasn't finding anyone on the shelf (the figure of Jesus which people commonly put on a high shelf) and "I saw him in my dream" refers to him "seeing" Jesus in a dream. It would make sense, brand new has a lot of religious tie ins due to him growing up in a Christian family.

    A.... L....

    I explained below what I think. Hope it helps!

    A.... L....

    +Handsome Jack ah I really like that explanation and it makes alot of sense with the song! I've never had Christian views really brought into my life so I wouldn't know this but yeah! Thank you!

  80. E.... V....

    A daisy by Marc Jacobs perfume Ad before this... coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!

  81. Y.... K....

    I don't know if they are a christian band or an agnostic one... There are songs which seem to praise christianity then there are some that completely question it in its entirety.

    Y.... K....

    +MrTwhispers That's honestly one of my favorite things about this band. They keep it interesting, singing about so many different things and ideas.

    Y.... K....

    +MrTwhispers they don't specify their religion. They sing about religious seeming things sometimes, but i think they just do it because it makes for even prettier lyrics.

    Y.... K....

    +Yung Kirk Jesse grew up in a christian family and went to a christian school as a kid but he lost his faith. But he tends to tie a lot of religious references into his songs.

    Y.... K....

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure he would be agnostic. He very much so questions things (Hence the songs Jesus, Degausser, Noro). He definitely is knowledged, and seems to struggle with the idea of wanting and not wanting to love God.

    Y.... K....

    That's what the words seem to indicate time and again. I think you're right Geoffrey Hulsether.

  82. H.... ....

    WHZGUD2 bought me here

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

    I'm a huge fan of what you did with the album art here! Very powerful depiction of a great song! Thank you!

  84. M.... T....

    this painting of the wolf in the forest creeps the hack out of me seriously

    M.... T....

    like this painting with the wolf is telling me death guys seriously when you look and think about it seriously guys

    M.... T....

    That's a fox I believe.

    M.... T....

    that's a fuckin fox, don't disrespect those babies like that

  85. T.... H....

    Make this in windows movie maker, noob?

    T.... H....

    4 years later

    T.... H....

    AYY LMAO

    T.... H....

    +Tony Hernandez what a sad life you live, maybe get a hair cut and a new shirt and people in real life might actually pay attention to you.

    T.... H....

    @Xxwafflesaucex Jesus Christ (brand new pun).. Someone is butthurt... Calm down..

  86. a.... m....

    The kid that talks in the beginning sounds like chucky from the rugrats

  87. J.... W....

    Anyone else here because of "Nobody Prayin' For Me"?

  88. d.... l....

    this songs kinda bad. seriously

    d.... l....

    Bad, as in like the Michael Jackson meaning of the word?

  89. R.... S....

    A mouth that never smiles? Lol touché but there's something about this song I like. And I'm not even Christian

    R.... S....

    +Damon Heaton Well for some first time listeners, that intro sample may be misleading seeing as Just As I am is an old hymn. Plus Brand New soaks their music in Christian references.

    R.... S....

    +Damon Heaton I agree with +Karv W (ToThisDay), as the sky opening up and pouring rain, "as if he knew it was time to start things over again" could reference the raining of 40 days and nights, or it could be in referencing to a divine cleansing of the wickedness of Earth and mankind. If that were the case, then it should be "as if *H*e knew it was..."

    R.... S....

    +foxet Animatronic well, there are two european culture sources: the ancient greece and rome and christian culture. when someone is writing a poem and he mentioned for exemple: Demeter, the godess of harvest, it doesn't mean that he belives in greek pantheon. They may be christian, but they don't sing about Christian religion

    R.... S....

    But they do...they sing about Christian themes, and their struggles with the idea of Christianity

    R.... S....

    Jesse lacey went to catholic school and thus he has a lot of knowledge of the Christian faith. He uses a lot of Christian symbolism but the band is far from being Christian. I mean in Handcuffs he has a line where he sings " I would drown all these crying babies..." not very Christian lol. If anything, the Christian symbolism is used ironically and sometimes even mockingly. A good example is the song Seventy Times Seven. there is a passage in the bible ( it differs slightly with each version) where jesus says you should forgive someone seventy times seven times. But the song is about being bitter and unforgiving to those who have wronged him.

  90. m.... s....

    dis song is fucking. amazinggggggggggggggggg

  91. c.... k....

    i found out about this band through adventure club

  92. K.... H....

    Hello everyone. My name is Kevin Hackett. I am a musician from Cincinnati, Ohio. Every time someone asks me, I don't really know what to call my music. If you are interested, feel free to take a look at my music on this "Live" channel here and leave a comment on your opinion of it. I hope it isn't a waste of your time and that it speaks to you in I some way or another. Tell me what you think. Thanks for your time.

  93. A.... W....

    I can see why people would think "Nobody praying for me" sounds was ripped from "Daisy", I mean the was the singer delivers each line sounds sorta like the ones in Nobody... But that it's.

  94. A.... D....

    the adventure club remix is so dope

  95. J.... H....

    definitely a different song than the seether one. I have to admit that I like the seether one better. However, this one is trippy

  96. B.... E....

    I just watched the seether song and then this one and they are very very different. Those of you that just want to start a bunch of drama need to look at your government. There is plenty there that needs to be started. Maybe it's an IQ issue and that's why you try to start crap where it only causes problems instead of where it could actually do some good.

  97. S.... S....

    The coolest thing about Brand New is that they make music that sounds like nothing ever recorded before in history. Something that you can't even begin to describe the sound of, yet its brilliant all the same.

    S.... S....

    I actually think their biggest problem is that musically they sound too much like other bands. Lacey's lyrics are what give their records continuity and make them worth listening to imo.

    S.... S....

    lol yes the ORIGINAL real and genuine brand new did. and so did stone temple pilots

    S.... S....

    @guy ? you listen to lil peep gtfo nigga

    S.... S....

    Stephen Salay sounds like nobody praying for me by seether

    S.... S....

    Listen to Modest Mouse
