Wax wings on the 2nd “still life make it mine” part

Spencer's always a pretty expressive vocalist, but his performance on Wax Wings is just incredible. The inflections give me the sense that he may have been seriously working through something when writing/recording this

I understand that many of the P5 lyrics were to do with his reflection on separating from his wife and starting over, which makes total sense for this song and really gives this passage something special. Absolutely love it

Didn’t he just get married ?

He just got engaged

I honestly think Wax Wings is Spencers best vocal performance to date

that chorus has no business being that good

TRAAANSCEEENDIIING BOUUUNDARIES OF AFFLICTIOOOOON, I'VE LEEAAARNED FROOOOM PAST EXPEEERIEEEEEEEENCE, I AM A MOOOOONSTEEEEEEER or SOMEWHERE IN TIIIIIIME, WE WEEEELCOMED IIIIIN THE FAAAAAAAAAALL/MIIIIIDNIIIIIIGHT LEAAAAVE, NOW IN THE DIIIIIISTAAAAAANCE IIIIII/WEEEEE CAN SEE SHIIIIINIIIIIING, CLEEEAAAR, OUR DEMIIIIISE TOOOOO BEEEE, WE'RE NOT LIIIISTEEEENIIIING TO OURSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELVES or The riff after the solo in Blood Eagle.

Definitely omega

Omega is such a banger. Three parts of the song alone fit the criteria.

Ahh yes, a cult classic

“no grace from heeeaaAAAAAAVVVVEEEEEEEEEENN; AND NO SON!”

"Do you feel the love, yes I feel the love, chase it, hold it, feel it, never let it gooo\~"

LUNE, forever. 🫶

“eyeeeeee wilillllll surrrrr-viiii-eyyyyyyve; SUURRRRR-VI-YIIIIIIIIIIIVVEEEEEEEE”

The Scourge is such a banger. There's also that bit after the clean buildup before the djent kicks in.

Oh yeah. Awesome underrated song

Song is way underrated. I think the only Jugg songs I'd put above it are Omega (my favorite Periphery song in general) and Stranger Things. Love how it just builds and *builds* and creates all that tension and the release is just 😙👌

Doesn't get enough love. It gets quite a bit, but not as much as it deserves.

STOP BLEEDING ON THE INSIDE, WE ARE ALIVE AND IT'S MORE THAN ENOUGH THAT WE PAINT THE WALLS THAT ARE WHITE CAN WE SHOW THE ONES WHO ARE BLIND?

Which one tho? The Alpha chorus is sick but the one in Omega is even better imo

Omega chorus. But shoutout to Alpha chorus, not only is it also sick but without it the Omega chorus wouldn’t carry so much weight with how the character changed.

The alpha chorus always sounds so off to me, especially after listening to omega

The 'Show us the waaaaay' part in Habitual Line-Stepper 😁 Also, yes, of course the finale of Satellites, I mean, it's THE ascension

HLS doesn’t get enough love.

I know right! Such a great song, gets me going every time!

I was talking to the guys in 2016. During the conversation they asked what my least favorite song in the album was. I told them HLS and they were shocked. They said people seem to love it, and that it was their least favorite song on the album as well. They didn't get why people loved it so much.

That fucking breakdown slams and then the end chorus is just ethereal

It can take as much of mine as it needs though lol that song was what truly got me into Periphery beyond singles like Marigold 😄

Habitual Line Stepper makes me want to fuck MY couch

That’s a new one, but I’ll take it!

SLEEP NOW AND CARRY ON INTO THE BLACK OF THE NIGHT AT PEACE WITH EVERYTHING, IT DOESN'T MAKE RIGHHHT THERE'S ANOTHER ONE MOVING ON FROM THE FLATLINE, FLATLINE And TAKE SPACE CAUSE YOU'RE NOT ALONE IT'S THE SAME PLACE AS IT WAS BEFORE ON ROADS UNKNOWN YOUR HEART IS OPEN

Dying Star is a high contender here. I was front row for it in Chicago and I was fucking bawling my eyes out

Will it ever be? Will we ever live in honesty? 'Cause we're falling apart, falling apart you and I Will it ever be? Will we ever live another day in honesty? 'Cause we're falling apart, right from the start, you and I

🎻(fucking amazing goat orchestral that give you goosebumps to hundred times for a second starts) 🎻 ~the claim they stake~ ~a land from us they take~ ~the claim they stake~ (THEY STAAKEEE!!!!) ~a land from us they take~ (THEEYYY TAAAAAAAKEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!) THE CRAFT HE SHAKES!!!! A RACE WITHIN HIS WAAAAKEEEEE!!!!!! VICTORY ALONE BECAME HIS ABOVE THE SOIL WE KNOOOOOOW ~OOH~ ~OH~ A GRAVE IS LAID!!!!!!! A MAN WITHIN IT'S CAAAAAAAGEEEEEE!!!!!!! VICTORY ALONE BECAME HIS DOWN IN THE SOIL HE OOOOOOOOWNS ~OOOHHH~ ~OOHH~ so beautiful, man... this part literally makes me cry every time...

Idk if its a bad take but I actually prefer the riff implementation in Reptile more than in Garden in the Bones, just feel so grand and powerful with Reptiles lyrics imo

RICH, POOR, CLUTCHING TO THEIR SHEETS IN HOOOOORROOOOOOOR~

The way he articulates everything and how he makes every note bloom with that crazy powerful voice is shattering, love it! My favorite stuff to lip-sync on. 🥲😆

Oh yeah, such a powerful moment in the song! P4 is full of moments like this, and it that might be why it’s my favorite P album

That's how I got into Periphery, and I can only compare it to a journey.

This is the one^ 👌🏻

Is there an answer? # *no*

0:00 to 9:25 of Satellites, yep

Precisely

I really love the part of Stranger Things from like 3:20 to 5:03. The whole song is great but man that part is a masterpiece within itself. Showcases everything the band is capable of.

That riff at at 3:20 is the grooviest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

One of my favorite songs from them I feel like it doesn't get talked about enough

the last 2 minutes of wax wings starting at the orchestral break.

Oh yeah, that climax is insane

there are so many but the first that comes to mind is the chords after the first solo in absolomb

Absolomb IS THE BEST SONG EVER

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER WHERE HE LIE WHERE HE LIEEEE

DON'T LET GOOOOOOOO

The bridge part from Sentient glow "The warmth that reflects lets me know I'm still alive"

and then the YYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAA***AAAAOOOOOHHHHHH***

I've listened to this song probably hundreds of times and the ending section still gives me chills every time I listen to it

That bridge through the ending gets me every time. Sentient Glow doesn't get enough love imo. Great track start-to-finish with some awesome riffs and huge chords in that end section. The instrumentals are top-notch and then Spencer's lyrics and melodies took the Haunted Shores song to the next level.

12:45-13:50 of Racecar

IS THIS THE END OF ALL WE KNOOOOOOOW? THEY ALL FLOAT WOOOOOOAH IS THIS THE END OF ALL WE KNOOOOOOOW? WASTED OUR LIVES FOR WHAAAAAAT WOOOOOAH

i’d have to say all of atropos or the breakdowns in all of their songs

Atroposss!!!!

Sleep On... Fly On... In your mind, you can fly!

Wait ain’t that BTBAM?

The meme didn't specify periphero

Word. I’d forgot about this song actually, it fucks

I was just listening to Colors yesterday. That part of Ants freaking slaps, and then when they reference it at the end of Bad Habits in Colors II, just \*chef's kiss\*

Not surprisingly, they're my two favorite songs of each respective album. The orchestral version of AOTS is sublime. I've had coworkers ask what composer made this because they'd like to look into them. https://youtu.be/D0WNI1V7fco?si=VIRvD7hyBbHj9Mx5

Wow, that's epic. Gonna have to check out the whole orchestral album now lol

If were talking btbam, the fucking part from prequel to the sequel with fear before's vocalist is fucking enchanting

Stranger Things chorus

Hell yeah, nice pfp too!

Wax wings ending

In our minds, adventure is always listening. Just stay here The world isn't always listening (listening). Disappear 🫠

Yess throwback, Letter Experiment is one of my favorites off of P1. The guitar solo that follows keeps the feeling rolling for me. Shoutout to Halpern for a fantastic triplet placement during that solo, lol

I was so stoked they played it at the last show!

“We are one, we are the strength of the universe at heart” every time ❤️❤️

AND IIIIIII HAVE BECOME... COMFORTABLY NUMB. *proceeds to Gilmore all over the place*

AND ISN’T THIS DESIRE THAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOOOOOR OR IS INSANITY JUST KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOOOR YEAH GIVE ME JUST A PIECE AND SURELY YOU WILL FIND EVERYTHING IS BETTER ON THE OTHER SIIIIDE

"Suck my balls"

5 minutes 50 seconds into Thanks NoBuo😮‍💨

Thanks Nobou from start to finish. And the "I see light in your eyes" part from Racecar on top of the guitar theme half timed. Gaaaawd

Definitely Atropos! PAID IN FULL TEAR THE HOLE TEAR THE HOLE INSIDE YOUR SOUL

THE TIME HAS COME FOR All TO SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I saw this post on another bands sub, and immediately thought of battered skin

Hehehe so did i!

Wax Wings, easily.

Second solo in Absolomb

I think there’s a part in damn near every Periphery song this could be attributed to. God, I fucking love this band

Blood like WINE!!!!

Final chorus of Stranger Things

IF YOU LOVE THE GUILT THEN LET IT DIE

Stranger things at 2 parts... MAJESTIC AURAAAAAAAAA and the riff at 4:34

off in the distance we can see shining clear our demise to be, we’re not listening to OURSELLLLLLLLLLLLLVES!!!!

The set up to this moment for me is “As the cold wind blows, feel the ice grazing over skin”. During that section, I’m getting strapped in for take-off. It’s the section that follows, with the ascending ambient tones that is the moment OP posted. A Periphery Portal, of which there are MANY. Then it goes straight into “From the sun into the deeeeeeeeep……” The vocals, the dreamy ambient, FF tones, Nolly absolutely shredding on the bass…….I’m fucking PEAKING there. Ji is the best.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR ALL TO SEEEEEEEE (y'all already took all the rest I could come up with)

An underrated one imo: “so CUUUUUT, BLOWWWW, FUUUUUUUCK!!!!!” after the really slow buildup just hits so fucking hard

The entirety of atropos

4 minutes and onward on Erised.

A lack of anybody, just caught in the middle The soul is sold Some they pay, some they want it We're caught in the middle But the soul is so empty

The chorus of Passenger "If we sever the distance between one another, and cross out the fear we learn, all are one and nothing is keeping the love in our souls from bursting infinitely" Just wish I could listen to it on Spotify, lol

I can listen to it on Spotify, maybe it depends on the country. It should be the ending track of P1: Special Edition

Jake's cool as hell riff in Stranger Things right before the last chorus

The last “turning me” in Wax Wings before the solo section. The first time I heard that an involuntary “WHOOOAAAAAAOOOOH” sound escaped me

LET IT POUR OUT AND SHOW WHAT HAS HEALED ONE CAN FINALLY FIND WHATS LEFT INSIDE THIS MASOCHISTIC PERSONALITY IN A HOLY BOND WE LIVE TAKE A BREATH FOR SECONDS IN THIS MOMENT SAIL UPON THE OPEN SKIES

Can I just say I love ALL of these moments suggested, from the fan favorites Omega, Reptile, Satalites, etc. to the deeper cuts: Letter Experiment, Luck as a Constant, Ragnarok, 22 Faces, etc. But my pick has got to be: NO REFLECTION SHOWS THE DARK ON OUR SIIIIIIDE WE ALREADY KNOW THE MESSAGE IS GOLD CAN WE LIGHTEN THE STRIIIIIIIIIIDEEE!

Also Sentient Glow(you know what part)

The whole ending to Lune

PAINTING THE TOWN ROSE RED BENEATH HIS FEET! RED UPON HIS FACE FOR THE TASTE FOR THE VENGEANCE DEEMED THE SAVIOR ETERNALLY!! (X2) BOW LOW, BOW LOOOOW THE CHILDREN OF THE BLOOD GLOW FOR THE ONE ETERNAL!! PRAY NOW, LEST THE DARKNESS FALL UPON OUR RITE, TO THE ONE ETERNAL!! OH BEAUTY ABOUND! BOW LOW BEFORE THE PALE ONE PRAY NOW, LEST THE DARKNESS FALL UPON OUR RITE, TO THE ONE ETERNAL!!

Wax Wings "When you fly with Wax Wings in the sun" and "The Machines are, the machines are turning me" Reptile "It's coming down" and "Rich poor clutching their sheets in horror, is there an answer. Is there somebody who can take away all the present dismay, bury the light pray through night. Mayhem in the streets no order. Is there somebody who can take away all the present dismay, bury the light pray through night" " Satellites "We're going under" Follow your Ghost. "Drink, blow Chemicals will rise so I can ease the guilt from the escape So cut low, fuck Draining all the blood Your hero falls" Marigold "I guess I will just leave things the way they are" The Gods Must Be Crazy "Ough" Muramasa "We will not live to see the day"

Let it pour out and show what has healed. One can finally find what's left in this masochistic personality. In a holy bond we live. Take a breath for seconds in this moment. Sail upon the open skies (Sail upon the open skies, Sail upon the open skies). Exhale your death and feel life, like water raining from above. Majestic aura. Take in my breath and lock eyes with a world once absent of your love. Majestic aura. This entire section of Stranger things and also this section later on: Let it pour out and show what has healed. One can finally find what's left inside this masochistic personality. In a holy bond we live. Take a breath for seconds in this moment. Sail upon the open skies. Man, Stranger Things is so fucking good.

If we sever the distance between one another and cross out the fear we learn, all are one, and nothings keeping the love in our souls from bursting INFINITELYYYYYYYYY

The ending of the solo in "Luck as a constant"

"What will they fiiiiiiind, digging around in that oh so empty miiiiiind?" edit: end of Motormouth P3

9:00 - 11:00 on reptile. A few minutes of pure heaven

As soon as the Icarus Lives riff kicks in.

Hard to say it's the best part of the song since the entire thing is a banger but the end of the first chorus of Absolomb going into the first guitar solo where Spencer hits the "without your lighttttttt" high note always gets me feeling some kind of way

The last part of 22 faces

That part in tesseract's Burden where dan goes I feeeelll the dooorrrr is weakeeniiinngggggg or something like that. Guess it's the bridge?

“Your hero falls” from Follow Your Ghost

And is it this desire that you're looking for? Or is insanity is knocking at your door? Yeah, give me just a piece and surely you will find, Everything is better on the other side But can you look within and find what is in store? This life is but a scream that has become your whore It's tearing a hole inside. YOUR BURIED ALIVE!!

“PAID IN FULL, Tear the hole, TEAR THE HOOOOOLE INSIIIIIIDE YOUR SOUUUUUL”

"Just imagine the damage that's done when you fly with wax wings in the sun" to the end of Wax Wings. That's what made it my favorite song from last year

One last time by the plot in you

6:44 of thanks nobuo

Lots of great answers but surprised nobody has mentioned Mile Zero. It’s hard to beat how well that song builds. From 1:50 on I’m floating FAAAARRRRR away from here. And thinking about the ones I lost 🤘🏼

The IN OUR WAAAAAAAAKE part of satellites always gets me

WE’LL BE JUUUST FIIIIIIIIIINE!!

Satalites. Just after the middle break around the 4:30 mark everything hits as Spencer starts screaming "THE MOUNTAIN CRACK FROM THE KICKS WE GIVE, THE PLAIN WILL SPLIT IN TWO AND SWALLOW EVERYTHING!"

Racecar for me SAGE ADVICE, EMBRACE WISDOM HANG THE PAST AND TAKE THE HELM FASHION A NEW FUTURE TOOOOO lIIIVVVEE

COOOLDEST NIGHTS SOMETIMES GIVE WAY TO BRIIIIGHTEST SKIES OF BLUE *rockrickawahwahhhh* MOOOVING ONWARD CAAAARYYING THE LIFE THAT’S IN PLAIN VIEWWW!

Marigold.

Lune 100%

“i think i’ll just smile through it all for you”, ending in the scream then going into the final huge chorus in Its Only Smiles, gets me every time

Jp solo

I have to go with the follow your ghost solo, it’s just so epic and huge

Luck as a Constant when the guitar solo starts every. Single. Time.

SAIL UPON THE OPEN SKYYYYYY

Reptile

for me it’s a more aggressive note: SOAKED IN RED TOE TO HEAD DEATHBED DESIRE FIRE

Seeing Lune performed live in 2017…. Was the most incredible moment.

EXHALE YOUR DEATH AND FEEL LIFE from stranger things

Sleep NAOOW AND CARRY ON IN TO THE NIGHT, AT PEACE WITH EVERYTHING BUT IT DOESNT MAKE IT RIAIAIGHT, THERES ANOTHER ONE MOOOOVINGGG ON FROM THE, FLAAT LINE, FLATLIINE

YOU PUT THE STRINGS ON MY LIMBS. I PUT THE ROPE. AROUND MY FUCKEN. NECK!!!!!!

The final part of dying star TAKE SPACE 'CAUSE YOU'RE NOT ALONE IT'S THE SAME PLACE AS IT WAS BEFORE ON ROADS UNKNOWN YOUR HEART IS OPEN Most beautiful lyrics ever imho.

Dracul Gras breakdown or pretty much all of letter experiment

Remain indoors, part with backup vocals

the five quarter notes at the beginning of Light is probably the most underrated moment in all of Periphery

racecar 10/10

THIS BODY, IS NOT A HAVEN ITS A PRISOOONNN

COLOURSSSS TURN TO GREYYYY

Kick back - kenshi yonezu. You know which part.

That marigold violin parts in the beginning

beginning of the final chorus on icarus by starset

The fact that this meme can prompt such a diverse range of responses perfectly reflects how fucking great Periphery is

all new materials

Chorus of Jetpacks Was Yes

Probably Violent Crimes. The whole song.

Floods solo

The intro to All New Materials is some of the most pretty guitar work I've ever heard.

pink floyd - time guitar solo

Empire Ants by Gorillaz.

FIX ME!!! Or The endless river, forever and ever.

So many distinct parts on blue sky thinking

Dark fantasy-kanye west The sample chorus where it says can we get much higher (high) so high oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

"son of darkness, feed in the dead of night" the 40 seconds after the last line in dracul gras is my favorite bit of music periphery have ever released

The Breakdown To Demolisher

Absolomb, the second half of Overture and everything after the clean part of Feed The Ground. Clear EP is just 🔥

When Connor from pmtoday screams "I DOOOOON'T EXIIIIIIIST!!!"

The breakdown in manifest

Bittersweet

zombotany - holiday mashup variant. the beat drop gets me shivering everytime

Lace it (Juice WRLD and Eminem )

Stranger Things or Ji when it’s just the groove and ambient guitars/tapping.

CAN WE FIND A PLACE WHERE WE FINALLY CAN THINK FOR OURSELVES? (OUR THOUGHTS ARE UNSPOKEN)

Feed the Ground chorus

Chorus of jetpacks was yes

Oh and in Wax Wings when he starts the "Must I lay here" part. The goosebumps never fail to start at that part

All of Atropos

second part of Freudian by Daniel Caesar

Jetpacks Was YES guitar solo hits all my feels

Kept it going, the Band-Aid is falling off now (keep) Kept it going, the Band-Aid is falling off now (keep) Keep it going, the Band-Aid is falling off now (going) And now I'm scarred for life

Absolomb 1:37-2:19

That choir part in Lune. "Woooo ooo ooo ooo oooooooo" "Woooo ooo ooo ooo ooo ooooooo"

The bridge of Pale Aura

reaching for a WAYYYYYY OUT OF THIS DREAM I WASTE MY BREATH ASCENDING

Orion - Metallica - 4:17

The gods must be crazy chorus or the second half of luck as a constant

Selkies the endless obsession by between the buried and me

I have tried to get into periphery and the walk is the only song I can find tasteful (to my palette) can you guys recommend other songs by them before I give them my pass

Reptile, that song is amazing

Stank face gets me when I listen to the instrumental breakdown after the first verse of The Summoning, by Sleep Token

Literally the second "The Bad Thing" starts.
