Bro they toured this year. And word from the band themselves next year is 15 anniversary of fight with tools. Tour In 2023. Go see them. I saw them 4 times in 2022. I was lucky they came so close two times.

At the end of the video when they are walking in front of them piece of graffiti on the building.... That order was painted by my husband Jamos "IKON' Douglas.... R.I.P. my love. He was so completely beside himself when he saw that piece framing the band he nearly came out of his shoes. Thank you guys for memorializing him in the best way. Whenever I miss him I put this song on and reminisce on the days of the community garden I volunteered at and the Great memories we shared all those years ago on Denver. I love you guys for the song, the video and the message it sends. Stay up!!!!

Before today, the only flobots song I knew was "no handlebars". I love that song and was reminiscing about some good old days past while listening to it. It comes as no surprise that this song happened to pop up as the next song on the playlist. Tonight wad my first time hearing it and I've replayed it about 10 times. With everything going on in our nation today, I think the message of this song is needed more than ever. God bless and watch over this us all in these times of turmoil and doubt.

I love how it's a badass song, played to the planting of trees, growth, and getting beyond the problems that our society has made for ourselves.

The ambiguity of "We rise, together" and "Together, we rise" lead to two opposite, but still compatible, interpretations. We all individually rise for a cause, but we also rise as one against injustice. In the light of recent events, I think that's important to remember.

So this is the new song of 2022... says me. The silent majority is tired of being silent in USA at this point. Thanks for you being you Flobots! You make everything suck a little less and I appreciate that 💖🤘👐
