Mastodon - Toe to Toes [In-Studio Performance]

Produced and Directed by Jimmy Hubbard

Lyrics:
I Have Seen This Once Before
I Have Felt These Colors
I Have Known You For So Long
When We Ran In Circles
For Our Sake
I Will Wait For You

I Walk Alone Into The Darkness
I Came Toe To Toe And Face To Face With The Beast
He Knew Me By My Name It Was Surprising
He Knew Everything About Me That I Despised

I Have Seen This Once Before
I Have Felt These Colors
I Have Known You For So Long
When We Ran In Circles

He Had Gold And He Had Silver
He Had All The Women And Wine That You'd Ever Need
Just One Thing A Prick Of Your Finger Spell Your Name In The Sand And Do It With Your Own Blood

Bitten By Fangs Of Circumstance
Outward Light A Reflection
We Are All Equal
Underneath The Slab Of Material
Mutable Ways Of My Fortune
Bitten By My Fangs

Gave Me A Smile
Gave Me A Whisper
Lay Me Down In Linens
To Watch Me Sleep
I Played The Fool
I Played The Sinner
I Played The Part Of Me That No One Wanted To See

Mastodon looks like a band of all the best uncles in the world

Edit: 2 years later and this comment is still true

[michaelcunningham]

I am a 71 year old man and love this band.

[pillboss]

It is goddamn criminal how underrated Mastodon is outside of the metal community.

[cosmicwildfire]

Little piece of trivia for y'all: Brent originally wanted this EP to be a solo project because it deals with deep aspects of his character, life and mind, but he later decided to let the boys join in so he could share part of the burden with them. He considered that in this manner the process would have been much less painful.
True friendship at its best, I love them.

[Oh_its_Mike]

Man I love Brent's voice. It's clean with a gritty uniqueness that makes it so real and emotional.

[goatbut]

Listened a million times and never related this to my boy.
His name was Zachary Myles Lahr, and he was an Angel who graced us for a mere spec. He was my son.
His twin brother, Joshua Gage Lahr died 12 years before him, and he always knew his time was limited.
He hated the shell he was born into, with an auto-immune disease very rare to any medical advancements.
He stood toe to toe, and face to face with the demon.
he fought the fight that no one wants to see.
Bitten by the fangs of circumstance, he alone walked that path. I never put this song and his fight together.
Tears stream down my face as I realize this is HIS anthem.
Thank you for saying it in words I could not.

[SBMM]

They are Mastondoning so hard on this track. Love it.

[bluematter]

How can a band perform this well so consistently? So talented man every song they've ever released kicks ass

[cheesefries]

I don't understand how everyone in this one band can be so incredibly talented.

[EvilSSP]

Brent Hinds is like rock n' roll Willy Nelson. This is the only band I've ever listen to that successfully went from heavy to less heavy, from harsh to clean vocals, and still somehow sounds like the same band and still holds my attention.

[unicornsteaks]

This band is brilliant. And they don't even fake the clap sound. Integrity. Kerry King couldn't even find a negative comment to say about them.

[Threestar-ipwh]

This song led me through the darkest period of my life, kept me sober and busy by learning how to play it and kept me alive …thank you for this song

[Big_Uncle_Randy]

Fighting terminal non alcoholic liver cancer...and MASTODON YOU ARE ON CONSTANT ROTATION...your music means the world to me...had to sell my guitar gear to help with expenses..which bummed me pretty bad...it was also therapy...but yalls music keeps me hopeful and positive that I can fight this monster...Please keep all the magic flowing....it means alot to my Wife and I m sure millions more...we were able to see you live at Neumos in Seattle..April 2009....on my bad days I still look at pics and video of my wife and I 10 feet from the stage right in front of Brent while you guys KILLED IT!!!!...thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

[jscottvillanueva]

My pattern for every Mastodon song I've heard; *1st Listen* Ehh, it's okay. *A few days later* This song is

[williamlangeii]

Damn, must have listened to this song 100 times since it came out and I keep coming back to it. Absolutely brilliant!!

[kevincowart]

Troy Sander's doesn't get enough praise as a vocalist. His bits dig deep and hit hard, and they have a sense of wild optimism. Can't wait for more Mastodon records.

[wolfman]

That riff that leads into rhe chorus is awesome
