Joy Formidable, The - Austere Lyrics






See the medal reverse
This hope is not lost
There's mischief to turn
Your ship to send off

Barbed wits and gowns
They'll ransack this town
I'd rescue you now
But in velvet you'll drown
And dance again

Oh Austere, lay by my side
You've been left here but you'll make no sound
Hey, last word, don't let me down
You're just another unfinished story now

  61. s.... ....

    MLB 2k 12!

  62. n.... w....

    I LOVE THIS SONG . XD

  63. I.... ....

    Summerfest 2012 for me. :3

  64. I.... ....

    I think she's Welsh. At least, that's what I heard.

  65. o.... ....

    I hate to say it as I truly enjoy The Joy Formidable, but this song is not done justice unless it's performed live.....Trust me. I know from first hand experience. (aka: Corona Capital)

  66. n.... n....

    don't speak for everyone

  67. H.... b....

    Isn't. song's. which.

  68. T.... ....

    is'nt the songs name a paradox? for a word describing a life devoid of luxuries, on music, witch is an art, witch is a luxury?

  69. J.... W....

    Like if "How to Make it in America" brought you here

  70. n.... n....

    is anyone else reminded of the Subways?

  71. G.... ....

    LOLZ Marlins?!?! Biggest failure of 2012

  72. T.... ....

    This vid will go nowhere.

    There are no black or brown people in it.

  73. i.... ....

    gd song

  74. u.... ....

    The great thing about this video is that it's either the strangest video or the sexiest :)

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

    yah i saw them on that tour but when i heard them on 2k12 i started really getting into it

  76. E.... Z....

    did I mention you guys are pretentious?

  77. C.... ....

    They actually brought me here. They opened up for Cage The Elephant and it was fucking awesome!

  78. N.... ....

    "Everything we stood for" Are you kidding? Only liking underground music and getting pissed when lots of people start to like it isn't standing for anything, it's being a pompous douche, so don't speak for all who like indie music.

  79. T.... ....

    I found this song on the show How To Make It In America

  80. a.... ....

    i found them late on mtv3 at like 4 in the morning last summer, its the only time mtv plays good music

  81. D.... ....

    This was in SSX?

  82. a.... p....

    NOW YouTube's search engine sent me here.

  83. d.... ....

    its funny because it shows that MLB 2k12 was what actually took him here

  84. N.... A....

    it's a defense dude, I mean underground scenes and people have the underground community because it's something only we know and care about, it becomes apart of us, and when it's put on such a mainstream scale so rapidly, we feel like were worthless and everything we stood for is down the crapper.

  85. B.... ....

    ha fail

  86. A.... F....

    I search Austere, The Depressive Black Metal Band... But... this band is really good

  87. U.... ....

    Aaaah...thank god the 80's are over again...

  88. D.... ....

    Whichever the newest one is. Seriously, how have you not seen it? The ad's been playing before almost every Youtube video since december.

  89. A.... ....

    This song was in SSX? Looks like I'm gonna have to get that game, cuz they have some good taste in music. Which SSX is this from?

  90. S.... �....

    DAMN! That Song SO (BLEEP) SICK! FEELS LIKE I WANNA RACE <3

  91. D.... ....

    I AM NEVER BUYING SSX!

  92. i.... ....

    @icefire4114 Wtf my comment used to have like over 100 likes wtf guys?

  93. I.... M....

    I think its great that austere was used as the commercials theme song, but I can emphasize with the fans who have been paying attention to the band much longer then the ssx crowd. I've personally been listening to joy for about 2 and a half years now but I'm not going to let some commercialization get in the way of my love for this bands music. I think we should all stop the hate and just love.

  94. b.... ....

    i saw this on spin a long while ago... they also introduced me to fleet foxes so they are doing me pretty well...

  95. D.... ....

    Your interest brought you here. SSX brought you here. Friend brought you here. Or you accidentally discovered this. Who cares? Atleast you're enjoying the song, who am i or anyone else to stop you from that?

  96. N.... ....

    spelling something wrong brought me hear n i stayed for the music

  97. L.... ....

    i'm just kinda happy that i heard of these guys wayyyyyyy before people were using their songs, idk just kinda cool

  98. A.... S....

    wtf is ssx
