God, I freaking love the screams in the bunker releases

[Joe-olbq]

Buck's guitar work is truly mindblowing sometimes

[frankieandtheflowers]

She’s like a modern John Lennon and the magic is in this group, just like how none of the Beatles were quite as good without the others, it’s a rare thing they have

[Saganist]

This band is worth permanent hearing damage

[Conanobrian]

this. video. is. insane. the energy is unreal, the screaming is life-giving. this band is... absolutely incredible.

[oneeyedwandererproductions]

Holy fuck I'm losing my shit over how good they are. What

[jannafranco]

i love how low adrienne's voice is in this

[magicjoeblack]

"Diamond" is the operative word, rare, precious and beautiful with a serious cutting edge.

[timbenton]

Try NOT to have a big, stupid grin while listening to this

[peterlenardon]

This is everything I like about this kind of music. I-IV-V. Two guitars, bass, drums, vocals. Transcendent.

[joshdunsbuns]

best band ever you guys are insane love your music

[andreasschuster]

Possibly the best song from "Capacity", their album from 2017. So glad that I`ve already seen them live in Cologne twice - the first time in March 2020, one week before the Corona lockdown in Germany!

[Goaterd]

This is a very good comment section. Thank you!

[malco]

not many bands going these days can touch these guys.

So much comin' in
I do not know where to begin
I just follow the lead you're pulling
And I get lost in your trail
So much more to tell
You just ask me if I'm doing well
But I do not know what the hell
I just swallow hard
In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love's revealing
So much you can see
Should I let you make a woman of me?
Should I let you take the mystery from me?
See the inside of my room at night?
Sometimes you will find
Things I do not know how to leave behind
I've been grappling with my mind
I've been stuck inside a jail
In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
In your eyes, black diamonds
I could die, black diamonds
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love's revealing
The cold of winter warms my blood, and he's hot like a bed of steel
He finds his peace of mind in the rivers and the whip-poor-wills
I could follow close behind and slowly disappear
But I can never leave him, I can never leave him
I can never leave him, I can never leave him
I can never leave him, I can never leave him
In his eyes, black diamonds
I could die
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
So much more to do
Come on, let me make a man outta you
I could gather you, and you tell the truth
You could cry inside my arms
You could cry inside my arms like a child
You could cry
You could cry

[ivankarczewski]

Fantastic, we look forward to seeing you in New Zealand :)

[SilverCreekRecordsPG]

[bharcolechumpkinpodcast]

I get chills listening to this song so beautiful thank you Liz for showing me this beautiful

[songsthatarecatchy]

Absolutely love the extended ending on this as opposed to the album.
I have the album and I love this song. This version is great.
Why does it seem they are so intense in the bunker?
