My Mistake Live at The House of Blues
Our fans sent us this video footage of our performance at The House of Blues. We’re not sure how they pulled it off, but somehow they managed to get these amazing clips. Thanks to the ninja efforts of several anonymous fans, you can see one of our newest songs entitled “My Mistake“.
Places To End lyrics
This song was written in the time just before we hit the studio to record “QED” in July 2008.
Nicky and Nate hammered this out, and when it was done we knew it was a keeper. We made it about the contrast between viewpoints regarding the violence in the middle east.
Places to End
Locking pop cans on the fencepost
just like the oil, you’re boring
Obviously lacking modesty, you’ve got a policy too foreign
Like Stormin’ Norman you’re combing the sand
Screwing, ruining the lives you hold in your hand
People begging, dying, crying
saying, “Open up your eyes!”
But you’re not seeing.
Oh Hell!
I am home still
if we don’t kill each and every last one
Brother, grab you a gun
I’m in line with the sky’s design
I’m disguised behind the ancient cloth.
The hatred makes it hot.
There’s children crying at rounds in the air.
It’s everywhere.
We scatter, scared.
Erect our necks,
“Oh, who is next?”
We’re so perplexed,
the Holy Text couldn’t ever have prepared us for this.
Oh Hell!
I am home still
if we don’t kill each and every last one
Brother, grab you a gun
And go fill
the window sill
We’ll get those devil people running.
No, they’ll never see it coming.
Desert hummers humming, coming to kill.
Children, walk around it.
Let’s not talk about it.
We won’t have to see their faces again.
Lying bleeding, beaten
In the trees of Eden.
O, of all the places to end.
O, of all the places to end.
We won’t see their faces again.
O, of all the places to end.
This is the place it will end.
Danallan @ The Key Club
This is the third multi-camera edit we’ve pieced together. Thanks to Justa and Adam Young for the awesome footage!
Danallan

thatwasthen hit the Galaxy Theater in Santa-Ana to play a show with Lukas Rossi and Juke Kartel on Friday, October 30th. As their costumed guests rocked out, our resident bad-ass videographer Adam Young made this video!
The song is called “Danallan” and is brand new for twt!
This track has special meaning to the boys in the twt. It is about a very good friend (Danallan) of a very good friend of ours named Omarr Escoffie. A few years ago, Omarr’s band Slow Car Crash suffered a tragic loss when they discovered their keyboardist, Danallan Atkins had passed. This song is for and about him.
Danallan
it rose that day
in perfect gray
the way it ended
but in the sea
tranquility
this is just…
this is just the start of it all
overdue to answer the call
the heaving sound
sinking down
welcome to the end of it all
ready, waiting, willing to fall
to something warm
like being born
how long has it been?
a rolling rest
and what comes next?
you will have answers
now safe from harm
like mother’s arms
it’s never felt so right
this is just the start of it all
overdue to answer the call
the heaving sound
sinking down
welcome to the end of it all
ready, waiting, willing to fall
to something warm
like being born
how long has it been?
I cannot forget
the silence that you kept
beside you every step
the harder that it gets
fly into the dark
sink into the deep
holding on to what you cannot name
or keep
this is just the start of it all
overdue to answer her call
like being born
Pumpkin Carving with thatwasthen
Last year, thatwasthen and a group of their closest friends decided to carve a few pumpkins to get into the Halloween spirit. Here’s a quick video and some pictures from the festivities. Note the absolutely bad-ass PAC-MAN carving that Adam Young engineered.
