This makes my heart all warm and fuzzy to see another loving on that beaut of a song.
I hope they bring it back one day to their tours. <3

u/More_Bed_126 A Flair for the Dramatic 1d ago
I was really hoping to see it on this tour but alas 😩 it’s one of my favorites

u/vulturegoddess 1d ago
I thought we might have gotten it on their version of the eras tour, but *sigh* nope. I feel your pain. I will pray for us that one day it'll happen again. Or maybe one day when they retire, and Vic is like 70.... I'll see if they'd be willing to take payment for a private showing and ask for that one lol.... and once I get more money, hopefully. Lol. (Spoiler alert; it probably won't happen but a lady can dream)

“ludacris” is sending me

u/vulturegoddess 1d ago
Lmao good catch. Now I am cackling thinking of Vic trying to sing that one at the speed of Ludacris the rapper. And or doing a collab with him. Could be interesting or kinda cool. Or it could be kinda weird and I'd probably still love it lol.

As someone who doesn’t exactly love this song I get why you do!

u/vulturegoddess 1d ago
It's nice when we can all appreciate our differences, and that there is something for everyone in ptv's collection. The boy who could fly is aces btw. Adore that song! They used to play it so much but people started groping Vic when he went into the crowd for the breakdown part of it. ): Makes me sad.
But yeah I always appreciated letlive. and Jason(the second vocalist on tangled)'s work. He puts on a great show. His new band is called fever 333 and they are very fun live. I would check them out if you need new music. But yeah the grittiness in his voice, going with the lyrics focusing on the subject matter that it does. You can feel the desperation in it and I love that emotion. The fade in and out are enjoyable too, and Vic's voice is just so passionate.

u/vulturegoddess 1d ago
I didn't know it was a deep cut. But maybe I have bias from when it came out as a single and everyone was just constantly playing it. Either way, maybe I am wrong. But more importantly, IT IS A BANGER. AND I AM GLAD YOU LOVE IT TOO AND GET TO APPRECIATE IT AS WELL. <3 THEY NEED TO PLAY IT MORE!

u/DigitalBagel8899 23h ago
This was the first PtV I ever got into after King for a Day. Showed up randomly on a Spotify playlist and I loved it. I saw them live for the first time a few months ago and was surprised (and disappointed) that they didn't play it. I had just assumed it was one of their biggest hits because of how awesome it is, but apparently not.

MILLION DOLLAR HOUSES!!!!!!!! It’s such a banger and NOBODY talks about it

u/Giraffewhiskers_23 Selfish Machines 1d ago
I was thinking about mentioning it but if I had to choose a song from start to finish it would have to be the boy could fly

u/4cornersand2sides 20h ago
That’s also a fire song. I just love million dollar houses because it’s so passionate imo.

Dirty Words for the obvious answer but if we’re going DEEP,
Color Your World - Before Today has got to be one of the most beautiful acoustic instrumentals to ever bless my ears.

u/Echoinurbedroom 1d ago
This was my understanding of deep cut.
1
u/Unhappy-Bonus-2300 1d ago
Me too. The idea that something off the second half of an album is automatically considered a deep cut is wild to me. Are we really at that point in society that people lack the attention span to make it to the end of an album? At least that’s the only way I can interpret that definition.
1
u/Echoinurbedroom 22h ago
It’s how I initially interpret it. Reading the urban dictionary definition, it does define it as songs “later in the album” or a b-side. But “unreleased” feels more accurate internally

Today I Saw The Whole World is actually pretty popular despite not being a single. They played it on tour (an acoustic version) but it’s one of my absolute FAVORITE songs by them. Misadventures is so fucking peak.

ptv’s discography is so small there are basically no deep cuts

their entire discography is less than 5 hours, that’s very short

Deeper cuts don’t have a certain time frame, they are songs that is lesser known/ doesn’t get enough attention.
“An album's ability to have "deep cuts" is not determined by its length, but by the ratio of popular hits to lesser-known tracks. A "deep cut" is a track that was never released as a single and is only familiar to a band or artist's most devoted fans. The perception of a track as a deep cut can change over time. Many lesser-known tracks from older albums become deep cuts as listening habits shift and singles from the past fall out of popular rotation”

I still stand by the fact that ptv has very few deep cuts

Ugh it’s so hard to pick just one 😩 Falling Asleep On A Stranger, Fast Times, Million Dollar Houses, New National Anthem, Divine Zero, Southern Constellations, Stay Away From My Friends, Phantom Power, Gold Medal Ribbon, Balcony Scene, I’m Low On Gas, Sky Under The Sea…I could go on forever

u/whomeee7083 9h ago
So agreed! It such a beautiful prelude and gives me the best fuzzy feelings. The Boy Who Could Fly I don’t consider a deep cut but it’s one of my all time favorites by the band. Love that song so much!
