This is Spencers best vocal performance of his career definitely. His placement and vowels and pitches and everything sound so comfortable and powerful. His vibrato is perfect too when he uses it. He really felt this song I can tell. He hits a lot of those countertenor high notes really cleanly, he usually just does like a pure fry scream with anything beyond D5. But here you can really hear his voice shine through. Love it. Thank U for a great ending to this album PERIPHERY

How can this song be nine minutes long and still feel too short?

[aaronmarsh]

I discovered Periphery in 2016 during the darkest period of my life. Depression, attempted suicide, homelessness, despair. Three years later and Im about to start my career with my BBA, and Im the happiest Ive ever been. This song perfectly embodies those periods of emotion: loss, despair, recovery, victory. This band, this song, the emotions that they pour into it all. Indescribable.


Thank you Periphery. You've done it again.

[MarkToast]

I want to unhear this song so I can hear it for the first time over and over again. So many songs on this album made me cry, but this one just left me as a complete wreck.

The heart went in two ways and the brain‘s gone in
s t e r e o
Invent and reinvest
What do we know?

Why do we do it?
Not enough to carry on alone
Whats left of simple life and beauty all around

Left in the arms of the living, I shake
Left in the cold
A cut upon the skin
They're always sharp in the beginning
Where is the love in the bend and the break?
This is our home
A cut upon the skin
They’re always sharp in the beginning

We stick to the two lanes
Live on the road
Shy away from the natural
What do we know?

It's not enough to carry on alone
That's why we do it together
What’s left of simple life and beauty all around

Left in the hands of the living, I burn
But to return
A sheet upon the sphere
This simple heart is the exterior
Where is the love in the bend and the break?
This is our home
A cut upon the skin
They're always sharp in the beginning

Down in the blue
Damaged by the new
Beyond the tide
Far from all

But this is us
This is life
It's suicide
We're all ten feet tall rolling in that ball

This is us
This is life
Suicide...

The mountain cracks from the kicks we give
The plain will split in two
And swallow where we live
S w a l l o w w h e r e w e l i v e

We’re pushing
The mistakes and the love that we take
The plain will split in two and swallow where we live
S w a l l o w w h e r e w e l i v e

We're pushing
Down in a hole right before our eyes
The rising heat and the melting ice
Now all we care for is blood and satellites

The mountain cracks from all the kicks
The love we take and the grave mistakes
The land we rape that's within our wake
And all we strive for is blood and satellites

We're going under
We're going under
It’s not worth taking the fall
Not worth losing it all

We're going under
We’re going under
We'll drop dead at the end of the fall
It's not worth losing It all

W e ' r e g o i n g u n d e r
W e ' r e g o i n g u n d e r

Down in the blue
Damaged by the new
Beyond the tide far from all

But this is us
This is life
It’s suicide
We're all ten feet tall rolling in that ball

Battered skin under the road
Life begins as I corrode
Battered skin under the road
Life begins as I corrode

Battered skin, battered skin under the road
Life begins as I corrode
Battered skin, battered skin under the road
Life begins as I corrode

Im a complete Rap Fan..

for the first time, i enjoy a different genre of music... this has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of art ive ever witnessed

[Jethrospect]

This is Spencer with all infinity stones in his infinity vocal chords.

[ballzif]

The section starting from 5:05 to 5:36 has got to be one of the best vocal melodies I've ever heard. Usually I listen to music for the instruments but Spencer is incredible on this album.

[sevazakharenko]

You know I definitely got a red vibe from p2, and a yellow vibe from p3. This album definitely lived up to its expectation of sounding triangle. Good job guys! 3/3

[GHziikneon]

GODDAMN.

and when i though Lune was the limit of the emotional, THIS appears.

[Cinder-Soft]

What a fucking journey this album is. Listening to all the tracks makes me even more impatient for my vinyl to come in. :')

[kyle.looney]

Pretty sure Spencer’s highest notes on the record are on the words “heaven” and “satellites” and I don’t know I can handle that type of creative genius right now, holy cow. Spencer’s vocals are insane, this record is superb guys!

[crashk]

This record was absolutely amazing. Thank you Periphery. Wow. Just.... Wow.

[maxfliegner]

I listened to the last second suspecting there would be a surprise and I wasn't disappointed lol

[DangerDMA]

Thank you Spencer. I cannot understand how people do not like your vocals. You're my favorite vocalist. This is amazing.

[aaronmacdonald]

I’ve cried at 3 points during this album now. Holy fuck, that part around the five minute mark. This album dropping means more to me than Christmas.

[mistertailz]

When future generations explore further into the universe, I hope they remember us and our immense, hopeful imaginations by listening to Periphery.

[vintagejm]

i’ve said this before, and this song only proves my point...


spencer is the best vocalist. ever.

[lurtz]

9:23 You know? After this album, I might.

[HammerOfTheGods]

5:00 onward really puts Spencer's incredible voice on full display. That high note on the last "satellites" gets me every time. I've listened to Periphery since 2011 and it's amazing to hear Spencer progress more and more every single album. I don't know how he does it, but I am always blown away by his never-ending pursuit of pushing the boundaries as much as he possibly can.
