Radical Face - Secrets (Cellar Door) Lyrics

One life for another

You are great sir...!!!

Wow, a friend told me about you and I adore these songs already

Masterpiece❤️

Most beautiful video ever seen on YT !

ISSO É UMA OBRA PRIMA MEU DEUS

2:03 Waouhh!!

that’s my bestie :)

I love this song and video. It is my favorite music video. It makes me cry.

Donde Estan Los de abla hispana

THIS SONG
Pierced my brain like a bullet and stayed lodged there
I wrote a short story based on it, changing the names but keeping the strangeness. I'll leave it here in the hopes that others let it pierce their brains too.

[Lyrics]




Drawn into the frost on the glass was a map pointing to my secret hiding place
It lead you to the tree with the split in its trunk on the way into your family's yard
In that tree you saw I brought the dog back to life


I watch you from the branches while you stared from the ground with a look I couldn't understand
So I said "leave me alone, if your only words are ugly ones"
And you just smiled and said "come and show me how it's done"


You dug up your old bird, and you held her to your chest as I breathed life back into her lungs
And she blinked and flapped her wings, she sang a familiar song
Before she took to the air and cut a path into the woods


And then I cried, because all my life I have known something was off
But you just shrugged and said: "it ain't just you"
Slipping on the pavement where we ran from the ghosts that you saw behind the cellar door
That's the way that you showed me that I wasn't quite alone
That you'd also touched the dead before

BEAUTIFUL

Love from Sweden

@RadicalFace existe brasileiros que curte uma boa música!

🇧🇷

My friend really likes your music, she sent me this song about a month ago. Now I also really like your music, it is beautiful and hits me in the feelings every time ;)

"Secrets (Cellar Door)"

Drawn into the frost on the glass was a map pointing to my secret hiding place
It led you to the tree with the split in its trunk on the way into your family's yard
In that tree you saw I brought the dog back to life

I watch you from the branches while you stared from the ground with a look I couldn't understand
So I said "leave me alone, if your only words are ugly ones"
And you just smiled and said "come and show me how it's done"

You dug up your old bird, and you held her to your chest as I breathed life back into her lungs
And she blinked and flapped her wings, and she sang a familiar song
Before she took to the air and cut a path into the woods

And then I cried, because all my life I have known something was off
But you just shrugged and said: "it ain't just you"

Slipping on the pavement where we ran from the ghosts that you saw behind the cellar door
That's the way that you showed me that I wasn't quite alone
That you'd also touched the dead before

damn this song is sooo deep
i love it....
the emotions are just sooo reall

Du bist das radikalische Gesicht

this is an absolute work of art

Huh. The video took a bit of a departure from the lyrics at the end there. Why haven't I seen this before? Been listening to Radical Face for years now. Come to Seattle again, Ben!

Essa música ficaria tão bem encaixada em Life is Strange 2

Fells so lucky and blessed to be able to found Ben. (Radical face) 💗💕❤️💕

My night is complete

Cellar Door..... Donnie Darko

Beatiful song, i love it

Love this song, love this band ......

Bro, you are so awesome. I listen to your songs recently and I was completely shocked by how incredible it sounds. Peru loves your music!!!!!

Is she an Angel?

Why would you think so ? I am the whole storyline of the three albums is, that those supernatural traits are passed on by blood.

I have listened this over 20 times and i still can't get enough

Beautiful

Br 2018

So happy I discovered you music. What do you know - I don't need to be stuck in the 80's if I want to listen to something meaningful and beautiful. Buying all your records. Keep on playing please!

i’m not crying, you’re crying

Radical dace is just so amazing and precious

My heart just about stopped when I saw the branch break- I was not prepared for these tears!

Thanks Radical's. From Brazil.

the rebirth of Simon and Garfukel.

超好听！

She brought him back, right? RIGHT?!?

Well this is the kid in the video and it's up to you If you want him to cine back

This music video gives me such strong reverse Bridge to Terabithia vibes.

Drawn into the frost on the glass was a map pointing to my secret hiding place
It led you to the tree with the split in its trunk on the way into your family's yard
In that tree you saw I brought the dog back to life

So I said "leave me alone, if your only words are ugly ones"
And you just smiled and said "come and show me how it's done"

You dug up your old bird, and you held her to your chest as I breathed life back into her lungs

That's the way that you showed me that I wasn't quite alone
That you'd also touched the dead before.

I pasted it for me, but I'm kind, so I'll let you use it too

Anyone else wanna decipher the entire story behind the ENTIRE family tree?

Brazil loves you!!!

How can a human being put together so much emotions in less than 5 minutes..
Ben Cooper, you deserve at least a 100 grammies in a row for the work you do.
We LOVE you

Redical Face is a gifted storyteller

I absolutely love this music this is my favorite band I love how each song tells a story which is such an admirable trait in music, considering that a lot of music now a days is meaningless. Each song has the potential to be relatable to everyone and it makes these songs so much more beautiful as someone who is going through grief and depression this song is truly heartwarming. I honestly listen to radical face everyday and it just feels like I'm listening to a story

the girl looks like a young version of late Linda McCartney

A couple years ago, when going back after having been to Poland visiting different important places of the Holocaust as part of a school project about it I listened to 'Kin' and realised how well you could use that song, and a lot of other songs, to understand different situations people you don't even know have been going through. Jewish people don't really hear the dead, but it was still eerily applicable to what families were going through in the ghettos at the time. I played it to my teacher, just said "you've gotta listen to this" and she cried. I love how all Ben's songs carry a lot of different meanings, and there is always a way you can relate to the lyrics of any song.

beautìul song and video, amazing Ben you still got the touch. My favorite artis

Poland love radical face! Amazing song :')

I want so badly to know what it all means haha

McKenna Verhaar look it up on genius or listen to the commentary that Ben made on this album

vocês tem que vim pro Brasil!

He makes his music with story and a hint of sadness. that's why its so good! hes my favourite Artist!

I love all of the work done by Ben😢😢😢😢😢

YOU ARE INDESCRIVABLE.. YOU ARE MYSELF... IN YOU I SEE MY SELF.. IN YOUR FACE, IN YOUR MUSIC , IN YOUR GUITAR , IN THESE CHILDREN , IN THESE NOTES , IN THIS DRUM , IN THESE WORDS , IN THI SONG , I'M WITH YOU , AND YOU ARE WITH ME.. I HOPE SO MUCH TO BECOME WHAT I WANNA BE.. THANK YOU SO MUCH.. YOU ARE GIVING ME THE STRENGHT.. THANK YOU BROTHER !!!!!!

May I use this song in a travel video? Really really like the song. The video is not exactly going to be a love video and therefore doesn't particularly suite to the lyrics. Would that be ok for you?Have a great day!! 😊

I didnt know your music where all connected

one thing i love about them is then the lyrics just seemed like a story made into a song

I've been obsessed with this song since last week, and only yesterday did my pet cat sadly pass away... I wish I could do what the girl could, but know I'll have to learn move forward. You might think that he was just an animal, but pets are more than that.

True and until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened. Sorry about your cat.

They sure are. :) sorry about your cat.

true words...hope you will be reunited again

Radical face rocks greetings from Colombia

David Sanchez bienvenidos! K buena música tenemos aquí!

Leave me alone, if your only words are ugly ones... <3

I love your songs and videos so so so much,that's incredible.Thank you.Would like to see you in Russia

Brazil loves you, Radical Face. :') Thanks for existing!

YEEESSSSS

Obrigada!

É um presente aos nossos ouvidos! Amar e pouco!
Thanks for existing

Obrigado, Ben : )

He should make a movie about special children and call it "The Indigo". That would be pretty cool

I haven't been this excited for quite some time about a new musical group I've stumbled upon. "Magical" comes to mind when I listen to your songs. I'll definitely be sharing!

The lyrics never seizes to bring chills to my skin

It's just amazing! So Deep. It is possible to conceive.

love the music

Ben! How come no Boston? We love you here man! Show us patriots some love!

Beautiful, beautiful, Beautiful...

I really enjoy this💓 reminds me of my childhood ♡ thanks!

Good music, good video and terrific story. Just love it!

Ben is such a beautiful person

+Ben :D

All Bens are beautiful. (Include Ben Howard)

Ben, u very cool. hi u from Russia. ee love u so mush, dear

AMAZING THE MINUTE 2:03! SPECTACULAR SONG AND VIDEO!

I love this song and the story behind it. Soooo, soooo amazing.

This was just as I pictured it! Lovely job!

I was talking to my best friend about this song the other day and she said that it would make a great book. I agree with her 100%. I'd read it constantly if you did make it a book. In fact, most of your songs from the Family Tree albums would make fantastic novels. Love your music so much!

@Alison Clingan About what happened or about the story?

@FranciscoJxL I'll take any knowledge you have, I just discovered Radical Face and need to know everything lol

@Alison Clingan Oh man, I discovered him about 2 years ago and I'm obsessed haha. Well, it starts with Family Portrait. Find the one from their official YouTube account and read the description. You'll be able to follow a lot from there :) If you get lost/stuck, you cam check their official website. It has an interactive map. I'm sure you'll enjoy this little adventure :)

@FranciscoJxL thank you so much!!!! I love how every song tells a story, like every song should. It makes me want to travel the world in a beat-up van with some friends or something. You know, just explore. This music gives you that adventurous feel, you know?? Anyways thanks for the help man, I really appreciate it

Yes! Gosh, I wish that existed... I wanted that to exist so badly that, like the thief that I am, I wrote a short story based on this song. I'm writing another one based on The Road to Nowhere, too. There's something very unique about the Family Tree project -- the songs stick in your brain like fairytales, but they seem almost older than that. Or newer, even. Like they could exist anywhere and at any time. It's so difficult to find a vein of truth like that, either as a reader or as a writer, and I hope my work can add even a little light to the overall flame that is Radical Face. Thank you, Ben Cooper! (And yes, Cate. Goodness yes.)

I'm lost for words.

I aways get so inspired after listening to your songs, and tell myself I'm gonna write a song as beautiful as this. I've written only one song in 2 months. But hey! It's a start!

+ScrubbyDubby I just checked out your channel. You are very good. I subbed. :D

+Fathum Thanks a lot <3

So what happened with the boy in the end?

+Marco Medina The boy fell off the tree and died. And since the girl can bring things back to life, she brought the boy back to life.

Or at least ya hope, lol

Niceeee

Ben, you're doing a marvelous job of story-telling through music! Listening to your music is like no other feeling, and I am so happy that you have come through and are finishing this wonderful project! Sometimes, I like to imagine small segments of my life, like where I was when I first heard your music, how I felt the day when The Branches came out, etc. I feel like I have somehow vicariously followed you on this journey, purely because I have lived through my version of reality that somehow connected to yours purely by me listening to your music. One of magical aspects of sharing creative work I suppose. Although I will never let go of the time I missed a show of yours when you were only an hour away, I wish you the best on your tour and all your upcoming projects, whatever they may be! Good luck and just keep doing you!

the choral section sounds a lot like the opening to Tall Tale No. 5 from the Patients side project. wonder if its actually related lol
