Alesana is not emocore. -_-

They're like, Screamo Punk.

And Dennis doesn't do clean vocals. Hes the screamer.

[JeffryFeffry]

@MrSilly15 I think they're "emocore". or just emo. There music is extremely emotional,and it attracts the emo scene. i think thats enough? being and "emo band" isnt bad ._.

[steffenbieber]

@JeffryFeffry its postcore. theres no band who will label themselves as emocore or shit like that.

[TheSecretAgentX]

@steffenbieber If by postcore, you meant Post-Hardcore, then you are correct.

[TooKawaiiToResist]

@steffenbieber there are, well were.. before it became a label for people (wich makes NO sense at all) it was a music genre and still is. personally, I like it

[987onilink123]

@JeffryFeffry They are not emo,they are post-hardcore

[ErwinKing95]

@987onilink123 Well, either way, Alesana is still awesome, no matter what genre they are

[CheminiYondel]

Oh wow.

I really cannot wait to see them next week.

Alesana is incredible.

[CayleyMae23]

chills..

[RiMixiChan608]

Alesana slow songs just make me cry because they mix in with my life so much

[Bornsagainstgod]

[Drewamania]

@Bornsagainstgod PatrickThompson.

[EmoGuitarSceneKidxP]

These guys taught me, i don't have to play a super fast guitar solo, if the song sounds good!

[TheBambulance]

Troy is beast mode :3

Even though I kinda watched it just for orlando bloom XP and he was a punk in the movie XP

[BlueHorse17]

I'd love to sing this with someone.

[GiannhsDeathMetal]

that's my favourite song from alesana.. it talks to my soul.. it talks to my heart.. it haunts me when i'm alone..

[rawr957610]

I love the transition of voices. I love this song. And I love Alesana.

[L4iiiiL4]

Can anyone tell me what Melissa Milke says at the end? When Shawn and another guy sings too.

[no1caresanymore]

@L4iiiiL4 She says "I must save my honor"

[Drewamania]

@L4iiiiL4 "I must save my honor"...

[Keiggy856]

Incredible and I challanged myself to play it. Incredibly hard XD. Amazong song and amazing band -3

[TheOfficialMassimo]

Flawless. The harmonies, the lyrics, the musicianship, it's all flawless. This is just a masterpiece.

[acmzabala27]

homer did the story of Illiad. Alesana made music.

[XpoisonousrainfallX]

omg there songs are very very deep

[paramore30stmbvb4eva]

im so happy, when mum asks me why im listening to music and not doing my ancient history homework i reel off these lyrics which sounds like the history of troy and she walks off with a pissed face cause she thought she'd caught me out.

me: 1 Mum: 0

[GiannhsDeathMetal]

@paramore30stmbvb4eva

:P

[em0twat]

whose the woman that sings in this??

[loloacocola]

@em0twat Melissa Milke, Shawn's sister. She does all the female voices of alesana's albums.

[Drewamania]

@em0twat Melissa Milke.

[MzEvilPixie]

This was uploaded on my b-dayy :D

[SpecialAgentCrissyT]

My awesome friend asked me to look up this song! I love it :3

I think the piano is really nice.. Think imma learn to play it. Wooo!

[LoveYouLikeRawrBaby]

I love this song!<3333

[wanwan011]

very brilliant.....very beautiful....very pleasing to the ears.... i cant just imagine that this song is created by an emocore band.... this song proves that they're the BEST EMOCORE BAND EVER!

[lemonpopsicle8]

That is the sexiest piano that I have ever heard. <3

[xxVampireButterflyxx]

The piano bit at the end is beautiful! :')

[Fundipppp]

Alesana should defiantly make more songs like this.

[LostMusicalMeanings]

Who's the second male singer?

[benedictisuncoollike]

@LostMusicalMeanings The screamer, Dennis Lee

[MyChocolateMoose]

@benedictisuncoollike are you sure? cause i think thats one of the guitarist..i dont remember his name though o.o

[benedictisuncoollike]

@MyChocolateMoose nope.. I'm sure that Dennis Lee is the lead screamer. Shawn Milke is the guitarist and lead vocals. Shane Crump is bass and back up vocals (both unclean and clean) and the rest. :))

[MyChocolateMoose]

@benedictisuncoollike oh well of course dennis is the screamer but he said singer so i assumed clean vocals lol o.o

[cokimetalLPmagoot]

@LostMusicalMeanings the second singer in this song and in this album is Adam Ferguson Guitar/Vocals

[Drewamania]

@cokimetalLPmagoot Actually, it's Patrick Thompson. I made it a point to ask them at Warped.

[Drewamania]

@LostMusicalMeanings Patrick Thompson.

[Twalice247]

...I am in love.

[tech4ever29]

why is there always a chill at the back of my neck whenever i hear this song @_@

[zebrapanda101]

:) doo doo doo..do dooo doo.. do do. I can SO play the piano like him.. (: If I am dreaming.

[blakganja420]

When I'm Stoned, This Song Damn Near Makes Me Cry. Lol xD

[KreamySTYLE]

Beautiful.. ♥

[renzOSA7]

trivia:

Paris is the brother of hector, son of king Priam, king of troy...

Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite offered Paris a promise to get the apple of discord thrown by Eris. Hera promised him political power, Athena promised him war victories, Cleverly, Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman on earth which is Helen of Sparta, wife of king Menelaus which is his third temptation. When Menelaus know of this, he asked help for his brother Agamemnon which led to Trojan war.

[mortalcare]

@renzOSA7 trivia:

have you ever seen troy? ITS AMAZING!!!

lol i knew all this from watching troy over and over and over

[MahinalaniClaire]

@mortalcare the movie troy.. is indeed a great movie.. but half the shit in that movie NEVER happend.. and frankly the existance of the entire damn war is questionable.. just saying

[chanywardi]

@renzOSA7 Priam is the King of Troy, not Paris. And Hector is the Prince of Troy, because he is the eldest of both of them.

[LovelyMyDearly]

@renzOSA7 you forgot Achilles. He was know as a Toyan war Hero. I love your explenation though XP

[supersexysailor95]

@renzOSA7 I like to see that I'm not the only nerd that recognized this story :)

[MrHeartbreakerable]

@renzOSA7 I write that on wikipedia :D

[ronmcr14]

@renzOSA7 TROJAN CONDOM!!! xD 

[ETFalltheway21]

why does this have 9 dislikes.... stupid ass pple..

[Deathandbliss]

must run in shawn mike's family to have talent :D XD

[mrladykillr]

Where is the Love button?

[XxvintheshadowsvxX]

this is my fav song ..

[xXKibaForeverMoreXx]

Ok TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW!!!! the girl singing in the background is Shawn Milke's sister (the lead singer) not his girlfriend ( because I believe Shawn is married) but his sister Melissa Milke. Who also has preformed in other songs with Alesana such as Congratulations, I Hate You and others that I can't seem to remember at the moment. That is all.

[Medusaogre]

Who is the girl that sings in the back?

[XxFunnyExtrimistxX]

@Medusaogre his sis i think

[Firnaranwen]

@Medusaogre Melissa Milke. She's the sister of the piano-guy, Shawn.

[Ultimatefanofmid]

I hate all all this auto tune shit thats not music, the things that are not auto tune now that real music, its not fake.

[omsitsjellyandtoast]

fuck, i love this.

[wanwan011]

this song is epic-i dont see any mistake from begining to end and i wish them to sing this live :)

[poizunlady67]

@wanwan011 I know right...i was suppose to july 23 in san antonio BUT when the day came my aunt said you're not going anymore nobody is coming with you to the concert....AND THAT WAS GONNA BE MY FIRST FREAKING CONCERT!!!!!!!!

[Deathandbliss]

@wanwan011 well they cany anymore adam is no longer with them =\ they wont even sick any songs outa this album anymore :(

[Drewamania]

@Deathandbliss Patrick sings in this, not Adam.

[Deathandbliss]

@Drewamania then the liar must pay whoever told me that i 4got -.-

[Drewamania]

@Deathandbliss It's all good. BTW, Wikipedia and Twitter both say it's Patrick Thompson also.

[JAZ8X]

i really like alesana(:

[XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn]

I quite enjoy the intelligence Alesana portrays..They seem to extend their knowledge in Mythology as well as literature within their lyrics and image.

I applaud them for this since it is what sets them a part from many MANY other bands of the sort, and I LOVE them for it <3

refreshing.

[XxNova9xX]

@XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn - I agree. Most people down Alesana because they are a "screamo/ Emo" band. But that has nothing to do with it. Shaun Milke is very smart and probably smarter than other musicians most other people listen to. Take Andy Sixx, he dropped out of high school his sophomore year but if you listen to him talk you'd think he went through college. Either way I like this song and I LOVE Alesana!<3

[XAutumnApocalypseX]

@XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn I completely agree.. I glad someone else looks for original music that incorporates their intelligence into their music. I love Greek Mythology, and I loved their The Emptiness album. The story they wrote to base it upon, coupled with the fact that it's inspired by one of my favorite authors/poets (Edgar Allen Poe) makes me proud to know that there's at least one good band out there. They're easily my favorite band.

[BACKinBLACK786]

@XxSLauGhTeRKiTtEn Completely agree with you though I'm too dumb to put it in your words! :)

[AshesWasHerName]

I think this song has amazing lyrics. very good indeed, and the piano and the girl make it even better. the last part isn't so good, you can't quite understand what he says, it feels cluttered, but otherwise it's really good. I don't care if you think it's emo or whatever, it's just good and you have to acknowledge that.

[XAutumnApocalypseX]

@AshesWasHerName I kind of like the way the ending sounds. Even though it's hard to understand, it still sounds good to me. ^.^

[ExotikBoiz]

I fucked my girlfriend to this song! n.n

[XxNova9xX]

I think it's cool that this song is about the Trojan War!(:

[BACKinBLACK786]

So incredible. So so so..

[XIchigo334X]

I can't explain how amazing this song is, im gonna make an amv with it now..

[Ultimatefanofmid]

@XIchigo334X send me link when your done?

[MegaFunkyMonkey95]

This song/masterpiece has for once in my life, left me speechless. I'm in love <3 Alesana FTW!

[minespy]

Beautiful song. <3 Is all i can say.

[KarenPhful]

viva mexico cabrones :D!

[Senayabiyu]

paris hilton's third temptation? LOL joke..

[LaluLove100]

@bunnysrock5692 no the part that gives me even bigger chills is from 3:20 to 3:40. it's so beautiful. alesana forever!

[bunnysrock5692]

3:00-3:20 gives me chills like no other song has ever done. Alesana <3

[ThisIsLove94]

As I'm sitting here with wide open eyes, my heart is crying.

What a beautiful song <3

[EmoPissass]

I'm not Mexican and I love this song! Fricken adore it!!! Alesana Forever

[Naturally3m0]

@EmoPissass Not everyone has to be mexican to like this song :S I like it an I'm English -.-

[EmoPissass]

@Naturally3m0 xD check the top comments. it's why i wrote that :D

[fishyyyy951]

@Naturally3m0 haha so am I lol

[bunnysrock5692]

I can listen to this song for hours and it never gets old.

[XxcloudedsightxX]

*singing similar things but starting at different times)

[XxcloudedsightxX]

@Xxgirlover413xX Here's the thing:

Main vocal for Alesana sings "sacred and profane, is our love in death" three times and is the first and last voice you hear in the end.

Second male voice sings "I cannot let them win, the blood of many spills" twice under first voice, starting after him.

The girl voice sings "I must save my honor" once really slowly over both of them and starts her bit last.

The whole ending is like a cannon with three different sets of words. (cannon = two or more parts s

[NeverShoutMarisol]

addfjajgaljd UGH I love this song so so so SOOO much

[Seetherfang13]

@naruto3343 shhhh... :) I'm only half genius and half ninja.. haha

[Xxgirlover413xX]

can anyone understand at like 3:00 I can, just. Haveing a little trouble following.

[ImThatOneEmoChick]

@Xxgirlover413xX

each person is saying something different ,

[SorryNotDeadYet]

@Xxgirlover413xX its when he let the girl go and escape while he goes back to help a lost cause.

[Xxgirlover413xX]

Thumbs up if your irritated with all the 'You say 'Mainstream band' I say 'Mainstream as well, just a different genre and a bit less popular'?

[XxvintheshadowsvxX]

@Xxgirlover413xX i love ur user name XD

[daddydonkeydong]

this is the most beautiful song i have ever listened to!

[Seetherfang13]

The harmonies between the three vocalists is just absolutely beautiful. This song puts me in a mood that just touches my soul. The composition of the piano part, spectacular. Alesana is probably one of my most favorite bands and always will be.

[Bengycat]

You say Justin Bieber, i say ok

You say Miley Cyrus, i say ok

You say Kesha, i say ok

You say Eminem, i say ok

You say Kanye West, i say ok

You say Jonas Brothers, i say ok

Who am i to judge what is music and what isn't who am i to say what sucks and what doesn't everyone has their own opinion on what good music and everyone's opinion is different

[SalSayWut]

@Bengycat I love you <3 So true.

[blackroses1029]

who is the girl in this song???

[Seetherfang13]

@blackroses1029 melissa milke, mike milke's sister.

[Amber31371]

is it just me, or is the chorus of this song pretty much the storyline of the movie Troy?

[XAutumnApocalypseX]

OKay, so WHY is there not an "I love this to DEATH" button on youtube? D:<

[LovelyMyDearly]

I AM FOREVER OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG.

P.S. I think I broke the Replay Button

[matthew6358]

@LovelyMyDearly R.I.P. replay button </3



[KittySamaraCullen]

I need the sheet music for piano for this song sooo bad :/ Searched for it for ever ._.

[blackroses1029]

this song deserves way more views.

8 People's Foolish Actions Cost Many Good Men.

[wardude08]

where the hell is the screaming....

[Bmth180]

@wardude08 The screaming? Who gives two flying fucks? Oh, shit, apparently you do. Well, considering that's not ALL they do, check out Early Mourning and As You Wish. They're pretty good songs. Just, Alesana likes variety. Screaming and hardcore isn't ALL they do.

[XAutumnApocalypseX]

@Bmth180 I accidentally hit the dislike instead of like for this comment... D: Sorry. I love Alesana. :D

[IAMCHEESEMUFFIN]

@Bmth180 Yea, also Apology Acoustic :)

They are amazing, screaming or no. I love these guys :D!

[Bmth180]

@wanwan011 Justin Bieber is .01 percent talent. The .01 being that he can straighten his hair better than any guy on earth. His singing skills are nothing. It's all computerized. I have nothing against him, but his music isn't real. You can't appreciate it.

[crazzibri]

2:59 to the end made me jizz

[MaxLovin99]

I love Alesana <3 there one of my favorite bands this is my favorite song :D

<3

[skylight056]

im emo n thts why i luv alesana their lyrics r beautiful and describe me and some times me and mi boyfriend

[TheRaelykSky]

@skylight056 Wannabe Alert /*ALERT*/ No emo will say that they are emo because they know that:1. Emo is a stereotype that we ALL hate to me called. 2. Emo is not a descriptive word for this type of context.

[derikracer10]

The other singer is Huck..

[93treasure]

who sings in the beginigh of this song? is it Pat??

[MATTfromSK]

call 911! replay button was raped!

[screamingbearman45]

[jamesmnrs]

[sk8ordiekooks]

@jamesmnrs

No it is about the Fall of Troy.

[killinglove7]

What is the song about? I am writing about this song in my piece for english. I need to know by tomorrow because tomorrow is when it's due.

[KayisADinosaur1o1]

[ilovecookiiiesxD]

[sonofathena]

for everyone who doesn't get the song it is about the Trojan war. The girl is Helen of troy who was stolen by Paris, the sails are the Greeks coming to fight for her return.

[chesterjacob305]

@sonofathena yep and then you have to learn about the Odyssey :(

[Tyler97Owns]

[TheEmoSaur]

The ending piano part is so enchanting. :'] I could just escape to this song.
