Days Of The New - Where I Stand Lyrics






Some of us play life
Like a board game
It's new
Fun
And you play it
With people
There's a time
You get tired
And you put it away
Then one day
You get it out
And the pieces are broken

Self-discipline
I want to feel before you
Take it slow
Feel before you, yeah

That's where I stand
Where I stand
Where I stand
Where I stand
Some of us live life
Like we didn't know it exists
Care
Got to care
Or it fades away
Then one day
You come to life
And living is over

  26. C.... ....

    2019 and still going strong lol

  27. D.... G....

    2019 I was here.

    D.... G....

    July 2019. Checking in. Still a fan. Taught or exposed son about music from birth he's 30 now. Has told us he appreciates the different genres we exposed him to. Now onto helping show my grandson there is a LOT out there. Soak it up. He's 5 he's getting it.💜

  28. k.... ....

    Always met up with Travis Meeks at my AZ venues so many times by accident.
    Original day of shoe They ate playing a Zia's records and tapes.
    Dold out concert opening day.
    Ask if they had two tickets left, forever historic.
    Gibsons 1997 Tempe AZ
    Metallic gazillion stages and we meet up again.
    Meyer him in Flagstaff at the moody recent show.
    I'm the VR King

  29. P.... C....

    @David S. I'm with you. I'll be rocking this album forever...

  30. T.... P....

    Who's still here listening to this god in 2019?

    T.... P....

    of course

    T.... P....

    i grew up on this album. still listening...

    T.... P....

    One of the best songs of all time

  31. K.... S....

    Rock in rollin

  32. D.... S....

    Most underrated band from the grunge era, most underrated band period. I still listen to this album and it will probably stay in my top 10 forever, and I grew up in the days of the old. All that with no electric guitars, just acoustics, still amazes me.

    D.... S....

    I actually saw Days of the New in a venue about the size of a 7-11, along with AlterBridge (formally Creed) the only person missing from AlterBridge was of course Scott Stamp the lead singer of Creed.

    D.... S....

    David S. great points but are we calling it grunge? It’s Folk, Alternative Rock from the Midwest. These are Southern Indiana Dudes. It’s definitely one of My favorites Bud

    D.... S....

    I wouldn't say grunge but probably the last GREAT..ROCK band....

    D.... S....

    David S. same man! I also got into Tool around the same time

  33. D.... D....

    2018 still rings on

  34. R.... 6....

    Travis was 17 when he wrote this music! Think about that! Incredible!,,,

    R.... 6....

    Roo_ 693 he was 14-15

  35. R.... 6....

    There is no other music like this....I had the first album in 97 when I was 18. I’m 38 now and this is still the best music to me!!!!

    R.... 6....

    Roo_ 693same thinking as me bro!!!!

    R.... 6....

    @Music. I'm a female, but that's ok!! 😎

  36. S.... K....

    2018 mother fuckers

  37. S.... K....

    chur bro thanks for the soundz 25 nz born in australia sigh

  38. j.... d....

    Ugh, Great band, I heard, bad contract?....not good at this but understand that bands don't mk squat....kiss my button...oh well, learn business folks....and then the dream

  39. B.... ....

    2018 and still in the sphere of DOTN ;)

  40. P.... G....

    Still listening in 2018 💞💗💖💕 still living life like we didn't know it exists.... still need self discipline... Still taking it slow... :)

  41. P.... G....

    Meeks <3 his guitar parts are always so fucking amazing. When I first found out about days of the new they were pushed as an acoustic metal band... But they are so much more.

    P.... G....

    The depth n soul in his music n voice is fuckin fantastic. Too bad there wasn't 4 more albums like this by them

  42. A.... M....

    One of the best albums of all time best grungey album.

  43. s.... f....

    Beautiful 90s nostalgia. These guys are still on my weekly Playlist. Such a timeless sound.

  44. d.... ....

    Still here, but i never left. 2018.

    d.... ....

    dudeimbig Still here, but never left the 90s haa

  45. E.... H....

    Still jamming DOTN in 2018!

    E.... H....

    2020 bitch

  46. K.... S....

    Probably the greatest music written and produced and sung in a single album cover to cover I've ever heard ......

    K.... S....

    pretty fuckin close

  47. S.... ....

    Honestly, i've been listening to this all day, his voice gets stuck in my head can't help it :P

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

    My favorite album of all time .

  49. C.... D....

    Not a better album to listen to when youre high

    C.... D....

    Maybe. But I'm clean and just as blown away. "Die Born" and "Weapon the Wound" too. Wow.

  50. B.... Y....

    Blind melon meet candle box

  51. r.... ....

    such a waste of talent!...save travis!

  52. T.... W....

    i met travis in a bar that a couple buds and i went to for a couple drinks during the day that they were playing that nite in madison wi... smaller venue. in walks travis and a couple others from band i assume.. he had broke his sell phone and needed to get to verizon store.. i rode with to show the way to the store.. it took 3 hrs my buds left bar on me cuz it took to long ..on the way travis was bitchin bout playin small venue.. i guess he thought he should be playin the alliant center there.. i said in the car man you dont know how many bands would give there left nut to just be doin what hes doin.. tour bus and all.. well he didnt like that i guess. he said man your pissing me off so my guess is that he had too many yes ppl around him.. forgot the privlige and love of music at the time.. when we got back to bar not even a fuckin thank you for takin 3 hrs of my time and showin the way to the phone store.. just thought i d share the story.. i hope he s doin better anyway these days ..they do rock!!

    T.... W....

    Tim Warner I remember that day and had to suffer that nightmare with you.. He did have too many people blowing smoke up his ass back then. But it was never me or the rest of the band. It was mainly his 2 agents, producers, A&R reps from record company and others. But yeah, I also remember that maybe a month later, he broke that new cell phone and had to get another. This trend of breaking cell phones still carries on today. But he's totally lost the attitude and is much more humble. Sorry that you had to go through that.

  53. B.... o....

    this will never end

  54. 2.... G....

    I wish I could tell these guys how much their music spoke right to my soul..to my pain..this music literally found me and it always helps me get thru tough times..thank you guys

  55. T.... 1....

    Beautiful. Somehow makes me nostalgic

    T.... 1....

    TYPE O NEGATIVE!!!!! RIP PETER STEELE

  56. B.... S....

    This song always makes me want to change my life for the better. Beauty's essence.

    B.... S....

    Blair S. All of us can change. Just do it. Force of will into a conscious thought.

  57. R.... E....

    The Summer of 1998-1999 when the album was released, I and my best friend Tony learned this entire album on guitars within 3 months we had the songs down to play out. At this time a lot of people  have not heard of Days. Great music. This is the only band the entire album every song is incredible.

    R.... E....

    Renee Esworthy This album was released in the spring of 1997

    R.... E....

    Also- any of his (red, green & orange) albums are straight play.... his albums are like books... listen all the way through (read)... there are meanings for each person to associate with...

    R.... E....

    Renee Esworthy Thats awesome learning this album. One of my favorite song ( instrumental) was the hidden track. I still rock to all their music, daily!

  58. S.... T....

    Tuning - C#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#

  59. M.... ....

    who the fuck would dislike this? you must be retarded not to see the talent here

    M.... ....

    Frank Zappa said stupidity know's no bounds....dislike DOTN fucking dipshits and nitwits man

  60. R.... S....

    Travis ain't ridiculous ,after spending a few hours with him led into weeks the verdict is that we are misunderstood from were I stand

  61. C.... ....

    good stuff here!

  62. C.... T....

    such a complex band. Travis's voice is fuckin awesome! and the melodies on the accoustics 👌👌 DOTN all day

    C.... T....

    That profile pic though...

  63. N.... A....

    I don't thing I heard better song in my life.

  64. e.... c....

    Check out tantric and Todd whitener if u dig this

    e.... c....

    eran chance I miss the original Tantric. If the original Days of the new can get back together(even though it was only for a few months lol) then Tantric can too I hope.

  65. F.... ....

    they're like Blind Melon with lower vocals

    F.... ....

    they're more talented than blind melon

  66. J.... C....

    Still listening in 2017 🙌🏾👏🏽✨lol

    J.... C....

    O.... O....

    heathenbreathinfire

    O.... O....

    Awww, but the band has their fan base! Right! Here we are 20 years later.

    O.... O....

    Dude, this and the 2nd (green) album get regular playtime for me...such amazing albums

  69. A.... H....

    Maybe my favorite days of the new song!

  70. H.... N....

    i have to use these guys music to vope with some emotional issues, whenever im raged i gotta smoke a quick blunt listen to this album im normal again thank god for this band.

    H.... N....

    +Matthew Brown Weed and music brother ,,it works every time....I have been using music and weed for over 20 years for that same reason,,,I am 37 and listened to days since the first album broke...Take care man..

    H.... N....

    Matthew J me too, it's like this whole album spoke right directly to my pain, my issues. Which is crazy bc I just happened to be introduced to them by my ex husband. And this whole album is me going thru my divorce..almost every song addressed all my feelings to an eerie degree..it's as if they went thru the trials of my life....I have the utmost respect for this band...a band in which would've never spoke to my soul if it hadn't found me

    H.... N....

    DotN and AiC for me. :)

    H.... N....

    This album helped me get over an ex. Didnt need the weed

  71. s.... f....

    this song has so much more substance than so, so many current day songs. I miss the 90s for that reason. music these days is a bit shit tbh...

    s.... f....

    Love this shit 😍😍😍😍🎵🎶🎼

    s.... f....

    Depends where you're looking.

    s.... f....

    I agree bud but i blame garbage like rap ...that shit pushed the last of the really good ROCK bands out because these kids these days wouldn't know music PERIOD...if it came up and smacked the shitty rap out if them .....lol

    s.... f....

    a little bit?...cmon bro it is shit bahaha you might wanna get into to some of the newer stoner rock bands though bro

  72. S.... ....

    One of my favorites

  73. W.... C....

    check out tantric if y'all didn't know it is most of DOTN band!

  74. S.... d....

    Still dig this album a bunch. Wish Travis could get himself together.

    S.... d....

    I don't know if he has control of that. His mental illness seems to be getting worse.

  75. C.... S....

    4:10 the best moment... amazing song

  76. R.... C....

    Still rock this stuff on the daily. One of the best bands in history. Travis Meeks is a genius!

    R.... C....

    +Ross Crabtree your not wrong matey..

    R.... C....

    Great minds think alike- good stuff Ross- I listen to his work EVERYDAY

    R.... C....

    shame he turned into a meth head living with his mother aye...
    fame came to early for him'

  77. I.... k....

    Im kind of glad that they didnt become stars so that they can remain a hidden gem.

    I.... k....

    +Andrew D At such a cost though?

    I.... k....

    +krulkntrdction yea I agree that its a heavy cost. but on the flipside, they're a band I feel like I have to myself because most of my friends ain't never heard of 'em. they were peerless in their heyday though...

  78. j.... j....

    are there just the 3 cd's from these guys? i know of yellow, green, & red

    j.... j....

    joe jones There is a bunch of unreleased material on YouTube, from what Travis calls the "Purple" album.

  79. N.... L....

    love this track

  80. M.... F....

    love this
