  • this song right here is like a joint roller....it makes everything complete

  • great band who cares if there christian? they're great at what they do love thrice!

  • How could 32 dislike this song?...

  • This song goes striaght to my heart every single time.

  • Found these dudes called 'Kai' on last.fm after rinsing thrice, definitely worth checking out, they have a live track called 'Transition' on youtube, especially now thrice are on hiatus :(

  • Comment removed

  • Christian or not, who gives a crap. Just love them, and if you don't love them, why are you wasting your time coming to a thrice video. <3 DK.

  • jap guy sans beard

  • I love this band!!!!! ive grown with them for the last ten years and they just keep getting better. To me Dustin is up there with Lennon,McCartney,Bob Dylan,Daniel Johns his just briliant !!!!

  • I am by no means religious, but i love this band. Dustin is an amazing songwriter

  • i just foudn this band existed bout two mins ago, omg they are amazin...

  • Amazing song :)

  • Does anyone know of any radio stations that play Thrice? I know nothing around me does and that makes me sad. They are so good. I don't see why they aren't more popular. Shittier band have seen more success and it confuses me.

  • @tompetuers i think thrice is signed to a independent label, thats what my drum teacher tould me, but if there independent they probully will not be on the radio, but they are still big

  • every song i herd from this band fucking rocks

  • Listen, all bullshit aside - any sort of worldly distractions, anything "important" in our day and age, religion, science, anything. doesn't matter. Just because the man is Biblically literate does not make him the victim of flame wars regarding religion vs. science. Stop labeling thrice as this or that. I don't care if you're the pope or an atheist, a saint or a killer. Dustin's intentions have always been the same - make music to help people and preserve the hope of a decaying generation.

  • @StreetStruck818 i totally agree

  • @StreetStruck818 Just what I'm thinking!!

  • @StreetStruck818 well said....very well said.

  • @StreetStruck818

    This needs 23 more likes, please help make it happen.

  • @StreetStruck818 I signed in just so I could upvote this. Everyone needs to like this.

  • its just not fair

  • Religion only lasts (proven or not) as long as followers exist. However, I don't see how being christian makes any difference as to how much impact a song has on someone. People can have the same values in life not believing in any god or gods and still get the same meanings from anything.

  • @danny32391 brilliant

  • Favourite band of all time, can they even put a step wrong?

  • Comment removed

  • 32 people can't see the red sky...

  • @Gardo369963 Needs originality but good try

  • one of my favorite Thrice songs, ever...

  • @downtoawhisper they aren't labeled christian because the whole band doesnt have the same opinions or mindset of dustin. the reason they let dustin do what he wants is because he makes the words have meaning to anyone regardless of religion. though there are obvious christian references the songs he writes it for all to feel.

  • this song literally saved my life 4 years ago.

  • @lifecutshort 4 years. . . same with me

  • @lifecutshort it still saves people today.

  • gettin a tattoo of a ship and underneith it says We'll Raise an Empire from the Bottom of the Sea. up my rib cage. soo worth the pain. my favorite song everrrr!!

  • One of my favorite Thrice songs, for sure.

    2 things about this video annoy me though: I like the album version of the song better, where at the end of the song, there is not singing, because it feels more powerful.

    2nd, why the heck is the sky blue in this video?! The song is RED Sky!

  • Comment removed

  • @IfWordsCouldSpeak I don't think it would be that hard to put a color tint on a music video....and the sky is not always blue, have you ever heard of a sunset?

  • @acejesse13 Yeah i know, lol Thats why like 20 seconds after i posted that comment i removed it, lol I was really tired last night, and not thinking very straight, lol :P

  • @acejesse13 I'm pretty sure you completely missed the point. It's metaphorical... Up to interpretation. It's not like because the song is titled "Red Sky" it's going to be about a sky that is red. There's more to the damn song than that

  • @Anonymous122131 I'm pretty sure I didn't miss the point.

    Just because I thought the sky should be red in the video, doesn't mean I thought the whole song was about the color of the sky...

  • underrated for sure.

  • I know what lies beneath, I've seen the flash of teeth.

    Conspiring with the reef to sink our ship.

    The wind's a cheating wife, her tongue a thirsty knife.

    And she could take your life with one good kiss.

    Can you see the sky turn red?

    As morning's light breaks over me,

    Know tonight we'll make our bed

    at the bottom of the sea.

  • wundervoll, einfach zum lieben!<3

  • I think Dustin has a thing for shipwrecks.

  • Comment removed

  • @kamikat447 already saw it. it was be4st!!!

  • @kamikat447 black veil brides are definitely not heavy metal, and the only reason they have 10 million views on that video is because people want to see andy six. But I really like the original acoustic version of The Mortician's Daughter

  • @KamikazeKarnage umm what was my comment? O.o

  • @KamikazeKarnage oh wait foudn ti XD and i just heard that band i knwo it isnt, must have been my younger brother :D XD

  • Such an awsome song. And yes, Vhessiu is an incredably underrated album.

  • Dustin Kensrue is a God!!!!

  • thrice is the best band ever!!!

  • i sing this song live every week almost :D love it one of my top favs

  • not feeling it today,maybe tomorrow..Kundo Thrice

  • One of my favorite songs ever....GO THRICE!!!

  • material since 2005 kicks ass!

  • A lot of Thrice's songs mention the sea and boats and such.

  • I'm guessing this is not nearly how they came up with the song, but I'll throw it up there... In the Lord of the Rings, When Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli are walking, Legolas looks at the sky and says something like: A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night.

    This together with the old sailors quote pretty much means something bad happened or is about to happen...

  • mellow and calm but also melancholy

  • I had to listen to this song twice, to actually realize how awesome it was.

  • well, i never actually listened to this album, and i am touched by it, it is just..wow! great song

  • No matter if you're into hardcore/death metal music... this is a soul-piercing song... i cant deny it.. its AWESOME... it has a unique touch that no other song from any band would have...

  • Check out the live version of this song, its almost better.

  • Red sky at morning, sailor take warning. Red sky at night, sailor's delight. I believe that is the old adage. "Can you see the sky turn red, as morning light breaks over me?" Someone is in trouble.

  • does anybody know what this video is actually supposed to be about...it's so abstract, I just wanted to know what everyone's thoughts were

  • Hmm. That's a very good question. We're all in our belief of interpretation. I like how you say it's abstract. I never though of it as that. I belief it's going thru something bad but somehow at the end, you're able to overcome that obstacle. The Red Sky could mean overcome of something good.

    :) Hope you like.

  • Sailing lore says a red sky in the morning ("Can you see the sky turn red as morning's light breaks over me?") is an ominous sign.

    I connect this song to the story of Agamemnon as told by Aeschylus in the Oresteia. Upon returning from Troy, his ship is stranded, and he sacrifices his daughter to the gods to receive favorable weather. When he reaches home, his unfaithful wife ("the wind's a cheating wife") murders him with a dagger ("thirsty knife"). Out of room, but there are more parallels.

  • foi um amigo muito especial que me mostrou esta cançao magnifica, depois das coisas que ja vivemos isto sim é compreensao.

    um grande obrigada a ti simao :)

  • tooo gooood (L)

  • *sheds a tear* It's Beautiful...

  • Vhessiu is heavenly; it is easily their most underrated album.

    <33333

  • I wish I could press the thumbs up button four hundred times for this post

  • Esta cancion es genial thrice deberia volver a sacar canciones como estas(this song is great thrice should make more songs like this)

    VHEISSU

  • He kind of reminds me of Charlie from Always Sunny in this vid. :)

  • every cd of them sounds different. but i like all of them. especially vheissu. thrice is great. one of the best bands on earth.

  • HI KAREN :)

  • I love Thrice's music. I has so much meaning to me especially as a Christian. Plus their music is just dang good. +100000000 for Thrice.

  • @ChristianSoldier24 Doesn't matter if you're Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, or even Athiest, anyone can take something from their music.

  • @ChristianSoldier24 Thrice is christian?

  • @Kaimitzu1 No, their lead is but the band itself is not Christian nor does it sing Christian rock, though Digital Sea mentions Descartes and such.

  • @ErgonomicChair

    Actually, most of Thrice's songs are literally about stories or scriptures from the Bible. For example...Of Dust of Nations, The Messenger, Like Moths to Flame, Silver Wings, Come all you weary, Firebreather, Music Box, Lullaby, In Exile...the list goes on and on. If a song of theirs isn't literally right out of the Bible, it at least has Christian ideals in the lyrics. They don't want to be labeled, but they definitely sing for God.

  • @ChristianSoldier24 Thrice is not a Christian band even though Dustin is a Christian mate, just remember saying things like that can start a heck storm on youtube x3. Its good you draw your own meanings from their songs though.

  • @ErgonomicChair ppl on this site, need to calm their tits, expressing opinions shouldnt cause a "heck storm" just saying.

  • @ChristianSoldier24 its funny because dustin went out of his way to state that they are not a Christian band, but their lyrics are so blatently christian. JC rep

  • @fightingforlacy That's why they have references to norse, greek and other mythologies, totally christian bra we should get together in a circle and jam about how everything is christian ^-^

  • @fightingforlacy

    I assume that they just don't want to be labeled Christian so that are not limited to shows and airtime that they get. Just my opinion. But it is extremely clear that Dustin is inspired by God and His written word. Most all of his songs relate to it or are literally about it.

  • @ChristianSoldier24 christiansoldier takes the cake for gayest username. fuck christianity and all organized religion. and if any religion is right, which probably none of them are by now, it would be one of the oldest like hinduism.

  • @charger619c Then there are the dead religions that come and go and get dismissed as myths and legends (cough, the Greek gods). Not in my lifetime or my great great great grandchildren's lifetimes or whatever comes after that, but one day - Christianity, Islam, Friggin Scientology, bleh - WILL all recede into the depths of myth and legend.

  • @ChristianSoldier24 how do you think that? this song is about nothing to do with Jesus lol ... however it does talk about a man sailing into a storm predicting death (ie. doomsday metaphore) and I would see how it could relate to the soldier thing.

    soldiers kill, christians kill, soldiers always need to feel high and mighty as do christians ( and other religions included), and because of both of them we are all headed straight to our own dooms day

    yay

    !

  • @musicstealspain

    word. you said it brother. im more of an underground rap listener. but since thrice plays and makes great music i listen. you are right but its up to the listener to draw their own conclusions from music. his was in the form of christianity.

  • Amazing song<3

  • this, the earth will shake, dust of nations and image of the invisible are the best songs on vheissu

  • lol my first band had a song called Red Sky! Thats cool!

  • Best key change of all time at 3:10. Literally. Nobody's ever done it better. Ever. Ever.

  • Now thrice is very "nice and cool". before was really rock!

  • and both are still absolutely awesome.

  • They have changed their style quite a bit. Especially from "Illusion of Safety" and "Identity Crisis." But their last few albums display a wide variety of moods and tones...some songs are really chill, but others are still VERY intense. Their new CD "Beggars" is AMAZING...not that I expected anything less. With each new album they release they become more eclectic than before, showing their true talent. They are genius, in my opinion. Dustin also has his own albums...you should check them out :)

  • @downtoawhisper

    DUSTIN?!?! OWN ALBUMS?!?! WHAT!!??!?!

    Where can I find these? :o!

    EXPLAIN, NOW!

    (please) :D

  • i like dustins beard its great

  • @mhaneline

    .......wow, you're an idiot, take time to actually look up their lyrics "paper tiger" "cold cash and colder hearts" even "under this killing moon" have such a deep meaning, you obviously wouldnt know how relevant these guys really are unless you took the time to pull your head out of your ass and actually listen, or hell just go and look up there lyrics

    ...relevant?! i really hope you were just kidding, because you've got to be a real dumbass to say that

  • I think you totally misunderstood me.

  • well just becasue theres screaming in a song doesnt make it bad. if you listened to their old stuff, they still had many elements in their music that they have today, just with a little more emotion. plus dustins screaming is sick.

  • That's not what I mean at all.

  • I like both Emery and Thrice but I think any comparison between them is pointless... they are so much different musically, lyrically, artistically, even the genre isn't the same... My opinion is that the best thing to do is to listen to them and feel amazed:) But of course sharing our opinion about _what_ is godd or bad in their works can be adequate and this way some kind of comparison might be interesting, i suppose.

  • this song is deep

  • Stop comparing, relate!!!

  • Emery sucks, Thrice is god = WIN

  • I'll agree with you that Emery is a good band, but just because they're good doesn't take away from the talent behind another band. Thrice is one of the most emotional bands that I've heard and Dustin is, in my opinion, a lyrical genius....he doesn't "write just to write," he writes for God, which gives his words an enormous amount of meaning.

    Basically, the point is, just because one band is amazing, doesn't mean another isn't. They just have different ways of relating to their audience.

  • oh no, thrice arent christian are they?

  • Well the whole band isn't Christian....but Dustin is, and many of his songs are inspired by this. If you listen to "Music Box," "Like Moths to Flame," "Moving Mountains," "Come All You Weary," "Digging my own Grave," "Image of the Invisible," and "Of Dust and Nations" you will hear what I'm talking about. There are many more that I feel are round about the same idea, but they aren't blatant in their meaning, and many are up for interpretation. But that mystery is the beauty of music :)

  • cheers for the insight, i was kinda hoping they weren't, but at least there not the preachy type, anyway who cares they make amazing music

  • In fact, Dustin says he doesn't think, or even want, his lyrics to be taken religiously. He writes from a worldview perspective; from both sides of the line. Yes, many songs he's written show Biblical influence (i.e., Blanket of Ghost and Come All You Weary, which reference from St. Paul and Matthew, respectively) often; however, he's said he doesn't want it to be taken as "Oh, they're a Christian band!" He writes about so that his lyrics are accessible so everyone can take something from it.

  • Dustin is, Thrice isn't.

  • Their new album (beggars) is considered a christian album. And They have a record deal with tooth and nail. (a christian record label)

  • No. None of their music is declared Christian. Although some Christian connections can be found in Dustins lyrics, it doesn't make them a Christian band. It's just Dustin's writing style. I'm not just saying that... because I really don't care whether they're christian or not. Theyre music is brilliant.

  • not true, dustin says he doesnt want thrice to be concitered christian its just from a worlds view on everything, it can be from a christian label because it has christain content, doesnt mean its a christian band

  • i thought they were on vagrant

  • @JacobPaxton

    since has vagrant been a christian label?

    and beggars is derived from a philosopher, check out the thrice post mainly DK's, he put the books he read, much of which inspired beggars, most of it on philosphy

  • vagrant records

  • Thrice has a record deal with Vagrant, but Tooth & Nail would be a good fit for them. Or at least it would back when Frodus, Roadside Monument, and Pedro the Lion were with T&N.

  • @downtoawhisper it's nice to see an intelligent post every once in a while, spot on dude.

  • lol emery.....  you're a joke dude.

  • Honestly Thrice has to be the best band of our generation. They have an album for every possible music mood you can ever be in and every song has an almost cinematic feeling to it. Incredibly talented gentlemen i must say.

  • i love this song <3

  • I still love this song : D

  • makes me laugh how the sky in this video is blue.

  • I think they did that on purpose to accent the meaning of the song.

  • Well having the sky in red would be rather cliche wouldn't it? Haha.

  • rofl.

  • First time I have ver heard the song and I am already in love with it <3 Just such a good song, sweet and full of meaning... :D

  • Comment removed

  • this is probably the best song to ever close out a cd that ive ever heard... awesome

  • Very calm at the beggining, powerful at the chorus... A perfect song for a perfect band =)

  • hahahahhahahahahha what an inteligent comment!! sooooo intelligent xDD

  • yous a ho.

  • almost every song in the world has emotion behind it...

  • This could make the favorite song list of all time. Easily. The video is something to love too.

  • it makes me remember u, wherever you are

  • this song is so awesome, it makes me cry

  • i love this song :D

  • Great song.

    this is the first time i hve seen a youtube vdeo without a massive argument on it! history has been made!

  • now that i thank about it it is

  • well history has been made a lot of times then xD

    Probably cause this song is to nice to argue when listening xP

  • This song is awesome one of my favs :D

  • Pretty cool & calming :)

  • 3:11, brilliant key change :)

  • Hmm...Perrty Good..(:

  • this song could be my anthem... i love this song...

  • Wow. That is probably the most profound music video I've ever seen.

  • i've never seen music

  • He says its the most profound music VIDEO hes ever seen.

  • I love this song!!

  • he loves the ocean thats what vheissu kind of was it had an oceanic feeling to it in every single song

  • as is proved my the entire water index, incidentally, dustin also really really likes bears

  • he also likes lumber jacks, as demonstrated by his love of flannel shirts and bushy beards.

  • maybe he should start up "christian bear hugging lumberjacks by the sea foundation"

  • i could get into that. despite my inability to grow massive facial hair

  • I just heard this and now I can't stop listening to it, this song is beautiful

  • yep

  • i love thrice they are my favourite band i have listened to illusion probably about 400 times, i dont think much of this vid though too much dustin. amazing song though

  • The lyrics sound like they're inspired by Lovecraft. It makes me think of Cthulhu and R'lyeh.

  • wow, that's the biggest feeling i get from the whole album and the Water album as well! It's so eery, but alluring at the same time. Glad someone else thought this.

  • i love thrice and this is my fav song ♥

    and dustin is sexy :p

  • Teppei still the sexiest man in the band ;)

  • Does anyone know if this has anything to do with operation "Red Sky"? I know they are just talking about the sky being red right.. ha

  • operation red sky?

  • nope, dustin said in the vheissu notes that he dreamt of passing by the ocean, and it just built from there

  • the reason their songs sound better despite not linking up is the fact they pause for effect, and build up to the bits they want to focus on more, e.g. the crescendo at 3:09 they do things like this very well, bettered only by trivium in this respect

  • You can see the passion in his face when he sings... so awesome... he is so blessed.
