    Omg, I've been looking for this song for years!!! I used to listen to it all the time and for years couldn't remember the song title or band name. I'm so excited to have found it

    The first time I saw this band was live. It was pretty rad seeing the main act overshadowed.

    It's some sort of weird anomaly that this band didn't blow up. I know they got on the radio, but from there they should have been HUGE. I still listen to them and it really is beyond me how they didn't have a massive following. I had like 5 bands I was obsessed with from early 2000s to early 2010s, and they were one of them, and of the 5 they were all just sort of getting out there more, but not real popular yet, anyway the other 4 got huge and these guys were the only one that didn't. 2 of them were black eye peas and maroon 5. I know, they sound super mainstream and huge, but when I started listening to them it was before all that, when they were just starting out. There's a couple more that I forget atm, but yea these guys shoulda been massive, maybe not like maroon 5 massive (less pop or w/e) but yea way bigger than they got for sure

    Im not sure what it says about modern rock music that this band never got their respect from the industry. It was our loss.

    Take a little dive into the shallow and spy; what do you see? You see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race And it fits like a glove under my sleeve; just wait till then Their heads are the heaviest in operation He's still not lost imagination You can hear him mouth the whole ending; just wait till then We Marys had ourselves a ball Oh yes, we did We Marys had ourselves a ball I must admit Hang us those limbs; hold no virtue Those told to hold: project on my cue Till we fall Whether a he or a she, put your mouth where your money is And are the birds of a feather that clever? If I knew, I'd keep flocks, that's a given; just wait till then Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers Still small enough to fit up their asses To put it all into perspective with definition We Marys had ourselves a ball Oh yes, we did We Marys had ourselves a ball I must admit Hang us those limbs; hold no virtue Those told to hold: project on my cue Oh, take a gander; the bigger they are, the harder they fall Oh, take a gander; the bigger they are, the harder they fall Not needy you'll see, not needy And I close with open arms over trees Not needy you'll see Not needy you'll see, not needy And I close with open arms over trees Not needy you'll see Not needy you'll see, not needy And I close with open arms over trees Not needy you'll see Not needy you'll see, not needy And I close with open arms over trees Listen to proven guarantees while you're rolling up the sleeves, beatin' on the chest But we can keep it in a jar when it's comin' cats and dogs for days And we Marys had ourselves a ball And I guarantee that what they've done for you they've done for me, they've done for me Hang us those limbs; hold no virtue Those told to hold: project on my cue Hang us those limbs; hold no virtue Those told to hold: project on my cue

    My dad was a weird guy. Usually had the best tunes on the radio. We have almost the same bday. So usually they get clumped together. His is the feb 4th and mine is the 9th…. Well that clump is right around the corner. For his birthday I took him to a Billy idol concert (Billy was the first concert I saw at 5 with my dad) a few days later… “I bet you’ve never heard this band, I have tickets” literally 2 of the best shows of my life. Going on 30 years….. my dad going on 64. I’m still here dad. Thank you

    Got introduced to them live years ago. They toured with Sevendust of all bands, and to see this singer climb their double stacked speakers and start singing to the next song. What else can I say that hasn't already been said by everyone in this comment section. No band since has sounded like them, and there never will. Thank you FtM

    I cant believe im just a month into finding this band to hear about them being disband. Im gonna google what happened but can someone in chat fill me in on what happened?;Was it that they simply disbanded?

    • @UndignifiedBaby

      Lack of money is what I've heard. They signed with System of a Down's Serj Tankian's record label Serjical Strike, but they never broke out enough and most of them had to get regular jobs. I know the singer was the Music Director at the School of Rock in either Austin or Dallas. Hopefully they could reform at some point.

    Love em but im pretty sure the singer has kids and he pushed his vocals but so great that was a reason to stop playing. I dont think people really appreciated how he was a perfectionist too the reverberations he would do with his fingers in his throat to then a deep vocal it takes a toll and you can tell he takes it too hard on himself. If you know you know and if you know the music industry is a** too then you know why they didnt get more fame but hey for true music sometimes takes the road less traveled and you my friends are part of that aswell. So easy to take the path more traveled and to hop on a band wagon with signing with certain to a label guarantee cause the music industry is bad and you can be outcasted so easily too. Hey still listening now so i know its good. Funny seeing first time listeners on youtube and they f* with this haha kinda feel they were just before their time

    I remember hearing them for the first time on Octane back in early 2k. I've listened to them since. There's no other band that sounds like them. They own the sound that is produced and the vocal range is incredible. Keep rocking FTM!
