    God that second verse hits like a motherfucker.

    Got to see them play this live for the first time !

  9. R.... B....

    This is a FUCKING song

  10. S.... S....

    I just heard this omg this is amazing

  11. A.... K....

    "A group called The Thrice" lol they mentioned this song on MSNBC

    A.... K....

    "You had me at Thrice"

  12. B.... ....

    I fucking love the punk rock anti government vibe these lyrics have they mix so well with this style of rock.

  13. K.... S....

    I'm. In love.

  14. T.... ....

    Has anyone every had that feeling where you hear a song and then it has that amazing effect on you that good music truly has and you just want to scream it from the rooftops? You want to just stand somewhere high and shout the song at the world, hoping they will listen to the song, all its layers? Maybe that's just me, and I don't mean to sound like a crazy person, but good music is meant to be shared, though most of the truly amazing songs are unknown, and songs like this make me want to scream at the world in hopes they listen to how truly amazing it is. ""You told me keep it quiet, that I'd ruin everything. I'd rather start a riot, then help you pull these strings You told me to kneel, but I'll tell the real story.." Every time I hear that it's like something takes over me and I just want to take a microphone and belt out the lyrics. Thank you Thrice.

  15. I.... ....

    what a good album👍

  16. J.... J....

    Easily my favourite song of the album. It has great depth and emotion to it, sang with real feelings. Love it.

  17. R.... B....

    Probably my favourite song by thrice next to Circles

  18. R.... B....

    I don't think many fans of music actually appreciate how awesome this song is. There's something about this song that is just incredible. The feeling, the emotion, the energy of the riff progressions. I find myself always coming back to this song

    R.... B....

    I think that it's apparent now, how honest this song is.

    R.... B....

    2nd best song on the album. The long defeat is the best one.

  19. M.... ....

    You guys are giving me a reason to live right now.

  20. a.... ....

    This band should be sued for plagiarizing the main riff from Of Dust and Nations by Thrice.

  21. K.... N....

    Can't help but think of Julian Assange in this past election when I hear this song.
    Fantastically relevant album for this year.

  22. W.... M....

    It's very sad that so many people know Rae Sremmurd and so few know Thrice.

  23. y.... 0....

    Snowden

  24. F.... P....

    [Verse 1]
    You told me not to worry
    It's all for the greater good
    Who made you judge and jury?
    Who gave you the axe and hood?
    You wanted it sealed

    [Chorus]
    I'll tell the real story
    I'm the bird that sings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Wake up and take warning
    Congressmen and kings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Waiting in the wings

    [Verse 2]
    You told me keep it quiet
    That I'd ruin everything
    But I'd rather start a riot
    Than help you pull these strings
    You told me to kneel

    [Chorus]
    I'll tell the real story
    I'm the bird that sings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Wake up and take warning
    Congressmen and kings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Waiting in the wings

    Watching, waiting in the wings

    [Chorus]
    I'll tell the real story
    I'm the bird that sings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Wake up and take warning
    Congressmen and kings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Waiting in the wings

    Watching, waiting in the wings
    Watching, waiting in the wings

  25. F.... T....

    hhmmm...soul of music...its good to hear this sound again from you guys!!

  26. l.... ....

    YES!. So fantastic .

  27. M.... ....

    You know that feeling you get when you get goosebumps and a shiver, that is me every time i listen to this song. Beautiful.

  28. t.... ....

    You told me not to worry
    It's all for the greater good
    Who made you judge and jury
    Who gave you the axe and hood

    You wanted it sealed
    I'll tell the real story

    I'm the bird that sings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Wake up and take warning
    Congressmen and kings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Waiting in the wings

    You told me keep it quiet
    That I'd ruin everything
    But I'd rather start a riot
    Than help you pull these strings

    You told me to kneel
    But I'll tell the real story

    I'm the bird that sings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Wake up and take warning
    Congressmen and kings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Waiting in the wings

    Watching, waiting in the wings

    Yeah I'll tell the real story

    I'm the bird that sings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Wake up and take warning
    Congressmen and kings
    I'm the whistleblower
    Waiting in the wings

    Watching, waiting in the wings
    Watching, waiting in the wings

  29. T.... D....

    this song was influenced by edward snowden

    T.... D....

    How do you get the idea that it had to do with Mars Hill being a whistleblower? I don't remember enough about the situation.

    T.... D....

    +Jaime No, it is exclusively about Snowden.

    T.... D....

    +Lina Laughs Dustin both tweeted and said in an interview that the song isn't exclusively about Snowden.

    Also, Dustin wrote an article detailing his experience with Mars Hill and how the upper administration and management was encouraging an environment of silence. So he too felt compelled to be a whistleblower.

    T.... D....

    @Jaime where's the article? A link please I'd want to read it.

    T.... D....

    Id say it's Snowden, some of Mars Hill and a bit of his own libertarian ideology thrown into the mix, personally. I dig it.

  30. M.... M....

    The first few seconds remind of of 'Of dust and nations'

  31. N.... ....

    Sept 23 biiiiat

  32. R.... D....

    Thrice is so underrated. I don't see many live videos of them. But they're reaaaalllyy good!

  33. R.... B....

    reaalll STORY!!!

  34. A.... G....

    I love it when bands like Thrice write songs like this. Basically like a middle finger to corruption and greed in the govt, politics, etc.

  35. T.... B....

    1 person is the whistleblower

  36. S.... ....

    Edward Snowden

  37. T.... ....

    The rift at 2:00 reminds me of a another song that I can't put my finger on

    T.... ....

    Might've been some Rise Against

    T.... ....

    i get a bit of an underoath vibe from it. might not be what you're thinking about though

  38. N.... D....

    0 people accidentally hit the dislike button.

  39. C.... M....

    this album... this album is beautiful

  40. s.... ....

    Beginning sounds a little like dust of nations and in the middle hold fast hope!

  41. T.... J....

    Can't help but think of Edward Snowden when I hear this song

    T.... J....

    It’s about Edward Snowden.

  42. P.... ....

    Thrice is back, and I feel whole again.

  43. K.... B....

    Too bad they didn't actually blow a whistle during the song

    K.... B....

    Thank god they didn't, that would've been tacky

    K.... B....

    That would've been hilarious actually.

  44. D.... ....

    Ah those bends with the drums in the outro sound so heavy!

  45. H.... J....

    Was never a huge thrice fan but these new songs are damn good. I'm officially a fan now!

    H.... J....

    Better late than never.

  46. P.... ....

    Song about Dustin's experience with Mars Hill?

    P.... ....

    While it might be about Snowden it's hard to believe it wouldn't be a reflection on his Mars Hill ordeal too!

    P.... ....

    what happened with mars hill?

    P.... ....

    Dustin was one of the whistleblowers on the pastor. Google it.

    P.... ....

    I tried but none of the articles really talked about what actually occurred, what did the pastor do?

  47. s.... ....

    I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF <3

  48. H.... S....

    Outstanding as always, guys. Game changers.

  49. A.... C....

    Thrice, back at it again hitting us in the feels. #heavysideup

  50. S.... ....

    Hands down my favorite song from this album right now. So so so amazing!
    Thank you for this, Thrice!!!

  51. C.... M....

    thank you!

  52. J.... L....

    honestly, I haven't slept at all xD this album is SO FUCKING AMAZING that it took away all my sleep. I shall continue to rock on to Thrice! GLAD THESE GUYS ARE BACK! :D

  53. W.... M....

    With some of the other songs on the album, everyone's saying "This song sounds just like [insert other band here]". I think we all agree that "The Whistleblower" sounds just like Thrice.

    W.... M....

    That's cool Dustin said that. I definitely noticed some beggars and vheissu sounds on the album, which makes sense as to why it feels so eclectic. And I was also thinking Salt and Shadow feels like a holdover from the alchemy index air album. fun to hear it all in one album.

    W.... M....

    @Michael Maitlen Plenty of Vheissu (my favorite album of theirs), plenty of The Alchemy Indices, some Major/Minor.  Not quite enough of TIOS and TAITA, but I'm glad for what we got.  And Blood on the Sand represents... The Sufferer and the Witness? 

    W.... M....

    +Witness Me If we ever get more TIOS or TAITA I think a lot of us will be pleasantly surprised (and ecstatic). I'm not sure what Blood on the Sand reminds me of... You could be right, could be inspired by some rise against... I feel like I hear a little brand new influence in the screaming but either way, I dig it.

    W.... M....

    @Michael Maitlen I like Rise Against a lot, but I want something different from Thrice.  "Stay With Me" sounds like a cross between TAITA and Brand New, in the best possible way.  The album's biggest influence as a whole is The Alchemy Index: Fire.

    W.... M....

    Interesting, to me it has more a Vheissu vibe.

  54. J.... N....

    dude, what if Thrice and letlive did a tour together? Imagine complete opposites in a room who come together to understand each others perspective. I think it'd be cool

    J.... N....

    i agree 200000%

  55. D.... A....

    Hello rabid Thrice fans! Its good to see you all!

    D.... A....

    Heeeey there!

    D.... A....

    haii~~~~

    D.... A....

    Sick puppy

  56. A.... ....

    Shaping up to be one of the most solid Thrice albums ever, love it.

  57. g.... ....

    How did they write so many amazing and energetic songs over the internet?!

  58. T.... R....

    Every song is awesome as usual. Just this time, every song is a Thrice hit. Usually only two or three per album that make me say, "that is why they are the best."

  59. C.... M....

    thanks Thrice....love the newer harder tracks on this record

  60. G.... M....

    oooh...intro reminds me of of dust and nations

    G.... M....

    My thoughts exactly, the guitar is very similar.

    G.... M....

    I read your post, and was about to correct you, telling you there should be two "ofs" in your sentence. I went to another youtube tab to double-check the song title, and when I came back, the second "of" you DID have in there finally registered in my brain. haha

    G.... M....

    The guitar part around 2:42 also reminds me of Hold Fast Hope. Some people might call it lazy, but I actually love when artists reuse/rework parts from other songs :)

    G.... M....

    Greg Morgan I actually thought it was before I looked at the title 😅

  61. E.... ....

    This is amazing!

  62. D.... H....

    Ah this album is so good.
