Anberlin - Dismantle.Repair (Acoustic) [Live]

[isaacdess]

Try singing the C's in this song before you pass judgement. Even the fact that the guitarist, who's a baritone, can hit those C's is impressive.

[Skyelitpro]

lol "REPAIR!"

[atomicfriendo]

anberlin sucks :)-~

[RedRidingBlue]

His voice is amazing, and I love they way he screamed it and had it under control. It looks easy, but it really isn't, lol. And he puts more emotion into his music than I've ever seen before in my life.

[thefrigidness]

stephen was off beat multiple times throughout the song, not just the beginning. he seemed phase by the moment and unfocused. fortunately, like all artists with REAL talent, they can still shine even on their off days.

[IsidrosLot9]

The background singer needs a lil lessons...overall twas nice(in my zohan voice)

[TimMcIlrathRA]

@IsidrosLot9 Christian can sing.. but because he must scream Repair, it sounds a bit.. strange :D

[Ceolmochridbe02]

You can see him reliving what he was feeling when he wrote this song when he sings. That alone makes me love this band, before you add in the amazing voice and the epic guitars..!

[thefrigidness]

ya he has sick control even when he is screaming .. the backup singer needs some lessons lol

[prettyreckless270]

they need to come to england more often, i have to see them!

[seanysicboy]

i like it

[tmanemoguy945]

ah shame :) unfortunate start, o well life happens, i woulda prob done the same thing tho, u need to catch the beat of this song the first tym or u gt lost, its just too mezmerizing

[vietsage]

REALLY WANT THE CORRECT CHORDS FOR THIS DAMN SONG!!!!

[smalltowngirl771]

seven people are jealous!! LOVE <3

[MrVca22]

haha Christian doing the 'repair!' part is hilarious haha

[pandasaurus151]

You idiots probably don't realize your making fun of the former guitarists\ for one of the best bands in the genre. I doubt any of you would even know what band without looking it up! kids these days...

[sittingonacactus]

To all of those talking about Christian's voice...I think he has a fine voice, only next to Stephen's it probably seems worse than it really is. The rasp in his voice is sort of cool, though I don't think it really fits next to Stephen's clean voice.

[Anyla20]

such an amazing song .

christian has so much soul .

repair dude sounds crazy

love this band !

[IceCreamAssJellyFace]

Aww man, anyone know the chords to this song (: ?

[MackanBengtsson]

I don't understand why people says he sings repair badly.. He doesn't - In fact he has a really cool voice. He does NOT sing badly.. Retards

[izadelirious]

@MackanBengtsson nobody said that he sing badly, he just couldn't sing that note dudex)

[aapinator]

REPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIRRRRRRRRR

[jeffypwnzu]

@aapinator LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Krussify]

well I don't think a back up singer is supposed to sound good there just "supposed" to hit the right note here it just sounds like he's struggling on it and even the lead singer must of noticed because he's trying to help him in a couple parts lol but hey what do I know it's not like I'm a lead singer or anything :P or am I?

[produccionesyobel]

HAHAHAHAHHAhaHA can't stop laugh

"REPAIiIiIiIiiIiIR"

[MarmarAkaSeiryu]

REPAIR!! ROFL! LMFAO

[imagayfox]

Christian does a fabulous job here, i dont know what everyone else is talking about. Take it from another vocalist. He does GREAT here.

[SecondsFromEternity]

@imagayfox

k from this vocalist, Christian's voice is a little strained and a little flat. It sounds to me like he has had very little vocal training, causing him to pull chest voice and "yell" the words instead of placing his resonance properly for effortless vocal production. Its not horrible, but i definitely wouldn't call it fabulous. Its cool tho, singing is stephens thing! Christian does a "fabulous job" on the guitar.

[black5913]

LMFAAAAOOO @ THE OTHER GUY......REEEEPPPPAAAIIIIRRR!! LOLOLOLOL damn i love dis band bt da other guy sounded like he had flem in his throat LMFFFAAOOO REEEEPPPAAAIIRRRR!!!

[oBullsEye]

"Reepaaairr!"

[wizzardg62]

Lmfao at REPAIR LOLOLOL

[Lizzardstomp]

Favorite song by them. Love the acoustic sooo much.

[saksjn]

for those of you that minused the bad start....why? it was a bad start. but..... he showed his skill when he caught back up to the beat and didn't throw the whole song. hes got a great voice.

[DarkArwen929]

Now I feel bad. I laughed too

[96tgh]

Hes got a really awesome voice, couldnt help to laugh every time the other guy said REPAIR tho..

[Denzelv26]

poor start...its the singers job to stay in time with the music

[izadelirious]

love his voice(L)

[ubirter]

ang lufet !!

[lovedeyes]

oh.. my.. god..

that man's voice is beautiful.

unfortunately most singers typically won't hit the high notes like on their album songs, but this guy... is amazing. he puts so much heart into what he's singing.

it's beautiful <3333333

[loco46m]

@lovedeyes This guy went OPPOSITE of what other people do and went HIGHER...incredible. Anberlin is awesome.

[PrettyMuchSmiling]

REPAIR!!!! hahah at least the guy tried his best !

[MrFashionBug]

The thing is on the cd the lead singer, Christian or whatever records his voice on top of the other singing that he does so that it flows. When they go live he doesn't really have enough time to cram all his words together so the dude playin the guitar has to do it and he can't reach as high as the lead singer.

[flyersgirl929]

also, cities was before christian joined the band.... :)

[JoanLabs]

ha thats funny your're joking right?

[TheMostAmberSunset]

You are retarded XD

[LKsizzle]

I really love this song and this acoustic live is so good. But that "repair" had laughing everytime I heard it!!

[apemanfool]

haha he came in at the wrong time and messed up the guitarist in the beginning... thats awesome to see the pros occasionally make the same old rookie mistakes and still rock.

love this song

[LilyRrroach]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[coops2403]

I'm pretty sure that it's the same guy doing the backing vox on the album.. the major issue really is just the distortion... which is happening with stephen as well.

gosh, i don't see any of you up there =p

[flyersgirl929]

wow! amazing loud! amazing acousticly!!! <3 anberlin!!!!!

[LucasCoura94]

This guy's great. I wish I could sing that high.

And as for the guitarist... that was freaking hilarious. I think it's just not in his range. Lol. That's a B. Most guys can't sing that. Doesn't help the fact that it sucks XD

[0MegaMetalHead0]

dude i admire him for trying...i guess? that was really rough like 4 times tho...

[RZibanez10]

i really love this song but who ever was yelling "repair" needs some work

[havretigern1]

hahaaha i totally agree it's so funny, repaaaaaaAAaaaair! teenager again? :)

[psmgamer]

Yeah I saw them at Warped Tour last year and I really not like whoever is singing backup vocals. Needs work.

[greggyv1984]

stephen is amazing. done and done.

[mintjujubes]

huuu, so beautiful

(i hate the guy who sings back-up though o_o made me laugh!)

[AintheUK]

FUCKING

AMAZING

[hybr1dpur3]

lmfao ok that brought tears to my eyes when the guitarist sang repair. Omyogodness funny stuff.

[MissAmanda95]

HAHA. oh my god i know!

[detorio]

this is my fave track from them

fkin good performance

ace all the way!

[Restockingtues]

I like how Stephen started singing "Repair"  by himself near the end (:

[rishik17]

did he cry?

[Zackleblanc11]

i did.

[themadbuttraperman58]

REEPAIR!

haha

great song. terrible singing by the guitarist.

[phelpsasnal]

AHAHAHAAHA. omgosh...that just made a crappy day much better. youre right man that guitarist is so off its about to make me cry laughing

[ripmysanity]

it's great when the lead starts singing that part lol

[traceyyle]

this video is definitely one of my favorites. mann watching him perform got me all teary eyed. hes sooo passionate about the song here

[chremo91]

what a performancer, he literally sings his heart out

[Xsplaya02]

Also there towards the end i swear he was about to cry. amazing.

[Xsplaya02]

He puts the real heart, soul, and experience into the music from the chorus through the end of the song. Hes amazing and i think i can speak for most of us when i say hes the passionate singer we all wish to be.

[kyuuketsuki689]

Couldn't agree more

[suzielovesmusic]

WOOO YEAH!

[Zackleblanc11]

I love it when he gets to the chorus.

[WhiteTigerSprings58]

Me too. Someone got me so into this song, I gotta download it now.

[Knatm]

ahhhhhhhhhhh i love them.

so freaking good : )

[BREAKINGALLSILENCE]

well, seems that they didnt practice this song Stephen sounds not so good in the chorus going trohugh the note but going out it lots of times and the "repair" of whoever sound even awful than Stephens. 

anyway i love anberlin and understand cause those notes atre really high i love them its just an opinion anyway love anberlin best band ever and ever

[DNDelli]

i am pretty sure this was a cd release party.

[bap1093]

Stephen started a beat early. D'OH! haha but they're still amazing

[FilipStiq]

Haha, he did!

They're human after all - you wouldn't have guessed on the better half of their other songs!

[aaleman1]

Christian needs to stop. His little "repair" yell sounds awful. Awful.

Thank God Stephen sounds good.

[imagine1231989]

I love when Christian does that.

[briladynamite]

aaaahhhhh his voice is soooo amazing!!!!!

dsafjndsvjgdkgnasfjs

=]

and the guitar sounds amazing. i wanna see them live so bad.

[GimbobSquarepants]

I love them :)

[wafflevill]

give me my ears back please?

[DNDelli]

are you tone deaf?

[whatever3x10]

omg, somebody should kill the one who yelled: reepaaair b4 stephen. seriously

[GimbobSquarepants]

HAHAHAHA

[littlexpunkxchik]

I freaking love him. His voice leaves me breathless. He gets into it. I love it

[dchristiansz]

his timing lol

[BleedingJ]

this video is so amazing!!!! Does anybody have tabs for it?

[BunnyPantaloons]

Stephen Christian puts everything he has into his live shows. That's why he's so amazing. He has emotion in his voice and you can tell that he feels what he sings. Not a lot of vocalists do that.

[pyromess]

u forgot his amazing hair:)

but yea hes amazing live

[smfong]

to be fair, i like them better on digital rather than live :), still a good song !

[fvuur]

thats a tough song to do live. but its a fave!

[Oblivinym]

I LOLed at "Repair!"

[imagine1231989]

That's my favorite part of this song when they sing it live.

[pyromess]

me 2

[rossbucklin]

i cant wait to see them next week in houston. its going to be amazing

[sambino31]

good song but the arent as good live

[GiJoe910]

cool vid

but whos sayn repair

[rossbucklin]

the guitar player to his right does repair for the first three minutes. then stephen takes over.

[imagine1231989]

His name is Christian. I've grown to love it. It sounds awesome when sung live like that.

[speakinginrhymes]

I've watched this video at least twenty times, and it never gets old. Ever. Seriously, chills. Half the popular artists these days don't even have STUDIO voices that good.

[rossbucklin]

i know ive seen this like fifty times now

[rossbucklin]

you can tell how much passion and emotion he puts into his music. Anberlin is amazing!!!

[xsh3ldonxppc]

ya and max bemis of say anything, they put it all into their music and it shows.

[inawesomewonder]

this song is so meaningful and deep it brought me to tears... the chorus is just so incredibly powerful...

[saveadrum777]

uh, lol. stephen messed up the rythym, thats why guitarist was all like "wtf mate?"

[WouterMelotte]

that's because Stephen messed up before. Watch the Alexythimia acoustic video :)

[psmgamer]

Saw them at Warped last month at Selma, Tx. Awesome band live. Can't wait for the new cd next month.

[summ3rlovin11]

i really like this one. such a good song.

[turboscud]

Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you

Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through

Dismantle me down (repair)

You dismantle me

You dismantle me

Possibly one of the best choruses ever.

[ItachiundSasuke]

i want his coat...

[tonybologna123456789]

look at the guitarist at 20-23 lol

[jrlove16]

is he crying while hes singing..i cant tell...

like towards the end of the video

[xoDancr4lifexo]

the beginning is a lil off but i still love them...... and haha REPAIR!

[rossbucklin]

saw anberlin a few weeks ago for the first time live. they're probably one of my favortie bands now.

[wegaengine1]

i bet he lost his voice after this performance. lol.

[natinspace]

What a great song!

[ourlastrequest]

its not that i keep hanging on, im never letting go...best line ever <3

[soccerguitarist]

background vocals don't sound too bad

[tsaifood]

REPAAAAAAAAIRRRRRR!!!!!!!

3:01 - Notice how Christian gives vibes to the backing vocals: I'll do the REPAIR from now on

[IamBreadfish]

this is cool.

i do prefer the original version.

but still sounds sweet acoustic.

hes got an awsome voice!

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

he put his whole heart into singing this song

[kathyy07]

he did, you can tell there's so much heart and passion in this song.

[Jonnygasms]

I actually really dig this as an acoustic song. And I don't hate the "Repair". It's got feeling. : )

[sledgus]

Why the hell didn't they release this song and change the world as singles? Any why didnt they make videos for both those songs? No wonder they had no songs in the charts and no wonder the album wasnt a success... far out!

[jtalep]

whoooa, hold up there, Cities was a massive success, they reached number 19 on the Billboard album chart, and for a band not on a major record label at the time, that was huge. They got to number 19 by reputation rather than masses of publicity from a big spending record label. The album was heavily praised by some very important people in music, including Rolling Stone magazine. So before you go saying the album wasn't a success, it might be worth you knowing anything about the band first.

[plot000000]

lmao, the guy who goes "Repair!" can't sing worth crap.

Acoustic just sounds weird for me.

[jdk1238]

i hate the sound when he strains his voice to reach the high notes.

Doesnt work as an acoustic at all

[Xsnakevenom]

MAN! Steven screws up BAD in the beginning, he starts like a million beats late!

[crayolaMARKer]

It's all good until the dude who does backup spits his line; I can't help but laugh.

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

he was prally nervous. that's christian and it was prally his first time preformin w/ anberlin

[Sola86inbass]

The registration is bad..beautiful..the singer is the best of ever

[girlofcj]

imho

they suck here... :(

[w0rstn1ghtm4r3]

:D great song

[tyraphonia]

there was a mistake at the first

lol

i like them anyway

[jayrawk11]

WOW! I love THE Guitarist wen He SINGS,lolz! Who agrees with me.! this band IS great but!

[Patriot20111]

Man...that other guitarist is not a good singer... Not really much of a guitarist either. Joey, Christian, Deon and Nate got it but that other guy...get some voice lessons

[WeeWonder]

haha agreed but ya dont gotta be so harsh lol

[WeeWonder]

haha agreed but ya dont gotta be so harsh lol

[SonBurntFF5]

stephen has so much emotion on all his songs...but the slower ones rly connect to you..you jsut feel the emotion and depth whether its the recorded cd version or live videos like this

[BlinKMe182174]

the background singer guy kinda ruined it for me

[horo123]

Lovin their music specially his vocals and lyrics.

[ljcheer0600]

I LOVE this song! Stephen & i SO had a moment during it. lol. my friend across the room even saw it! lol, im such a dork

[luckystar007]

My favorite Anberlin song of all time. Stephen, congrats, you've written a modern psalm (especially considering the meaning behind the song)

[darkzebra27]

yeah i agree.. i really wish the other guitarist could sing as well as the lead singer.. he almost ruins the song bit.. especially in songs like the unwinding cable car.. but otherwise this song is incredible

[miszamie]

gosh! soo powerfull! but i started too laugh when christian screamed that "repair" part! ROFL! but...tbh this song is lyk my number one anberlin's song! ANberlin rocks!

[silentkingdom]

Yeah, it would have sounded better with no backups at all. Stephen really put some emotion in this song after it gets going a bit. I love it

[PhoenixSniper]

i wish the lead guy could clone himself so they could sing live like it is on the cd :P

[muziklvr101]

ok, so the bg vocals were...interesting...but they still rock!! =)

[pumakuma]

i love anberlin!! it seems as though hedoesn't come in right at all.. whats up with that!? the guitarist has to stop and start again to get back on time with him

[suemaz7]

WOW. This one is so different from his other very smooth singing. Different. :D

[NateontheGuitar]

there not trying to hire a background singer guys... i like christian's voice, it sounds really rough

[purelove309]

dude, stephen is amazing, but there is a terrible back up singer...=(

[lelynnb]

Stephen sounds a lot better on this song than some. Like some live versions sound as if he's really straining himself to sing. I sing backround vocals in my band and i can probably say i sing better than thier backround singer. That must be why Stephen does backrounds on the recorded stuff.

[dpg4569]

that's true, their backing singer isn't as good

[Knatm]

gosh he is SO amazing! when i saw this song live in spokane on nov 27. when he said they were doing this- (i was in the front row and stephen was like 6 inches aways from me!) i screamed this is my favorite song and stephen laughs and points to me and says "this is her favorite song!" it was pretty funny!!

[CirceanVox]

Yeah.

Started on wrong beat.

But not that bad.

Sings better than I do lol

[kyleirl]

if you look at his interview he did one time he said he doesn't aim for that he sings from the soul and its about the feeling! he means what he sings. A true Christian.

[legendarycookys]

Amen to that. =]

[explanation44]

their not a christian band but ok

[legendarycookys]

But Stephen Christian once said that his faith influences everything he does. =]

[alexlikesmusic4700]

they may not be a "christian band" and sing "christian" music but they are all christians

[vanillacokex]

aww he's hot.

[Ashasmee]

He sings straight from his soul. Wow. That's tough to find these days.

<3 Anberlin

[tohawkisalsotonelson]

Love and devotion. Anberlin is amazing. And Stephen is so into it, I love it. Definitely my fave song.

[areyes07]

Did no one else notice that he starts on the wrong beat? the guitarist on the right shakes his head, smiles, and adjusts to stephen's off beat singing...

But who cares? Anberlin freaking rocks. I wish I could've smacked the right notes into the backup singer lol.

[rawritskenny3]

I think they're just as good live as they are on their cd.

[IJoyriderI]

There a very good band...but that sounded like shit....

[saversar]

Seriously?

[saversar]

omg i love this song!!! <3 but i hate when omeone play it in on a tape !!!! :P i wanna hear the real song!

[turbosat4n]

fuck jesus

[reploid117]

dude u gonna regret that man...he died for you ...accept him as ur only savior

[turbosat4n]

nope he died cuz he got screwed over not for me though buddy

if you need jesus fine but dont tell anyone else about it

[reploid117]

man im gonna yell it out to the whole world, but man seriously ur making a great mistake bout your life, n hell is for an eternity...

[pkcr09]

he sings the shit out of that mic =]

[johnnychay]

the guy yelling repair is actually their back up singer (christian mcalhaney) playing the out of camera guitar

[NeroYamato]

wow i love this song, btu they suck live i mean if there cd were recorded live, they would be on the street. but i love this song, 5 out of 5 thx

[azndude127]

how about this there christian :)

and there not mainstream

[candyXchaos]

i saw them on the 6t too

they were lush :)

xx
