When does this album ever not hit it. This song although not the most technically impressive or creatively exhuberant amongst a series of legendary songs, is a sure winner...hits the spot. Perfection.
3 years...of hope..sucrifice..love...believe...and I am here...3 years later...and all our days come to an end...for all you out there...take your chances..stand up face the truth and let it go.
Alter bridge is the best band ever!!!!!! I was on a live concert in dortmund. If you've ever the chance to see them live you have to!!!!!!! It's the best (live) band i've ever heard!!!!!
@Mirrosalone sry man but this song is too amazing to be played in a series like scrubs . the series is ok but alter bridge is more then one league better ;D
hearing this song should make anyone hold those close to them even closer. i lost my father back in november to cancer. hearing this song comforts me, because not only does it mourn him, but also celebrates his life. i love you, dad.
Ah, thanks for asking Amosschorr93. He went into a hospice for three weeks. Just come home. The inevitable is going to happen soon, but we are OK. At the moment, we are enjoying the last of his Wonderful Life!
In no small way, I'm glad that MTV and pop culture kinda glances over bands like this. Let Britney, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and their like yuck it up with their empty-headed followers. This is music. This is good. Alter Bridge ROCKS.
All I can say is wow! Alter Bridge continues to inspire and emotionally touch me with their amazing lyrics and music! There is not one song by them that doesn't cause me to feel such emotion. Their music is so powerful man! Alter Bridge is the best band out right now for me. Love them so much!!!!!!!
When I heard what inspired Myles to write this song and how emotional he got, he had to stop in the middle of recording. It just made me love he more as if I could. He truly amazes me the passion in him . And Mark the rest of the band they are a gift from above to put out such inspiring music. They have given me strength I didn't know existed I thank god for them and the pure art they create. What an honor it would be just to know them. They mean the world to me <3 81jewels rock the world AB
@QingLong90 can only agree with you on that ... was my first favorite and still is :D .. i never thought they'd be able to top balckbird but i was proven very wrong ^^
yeah this song makes you think of being in a hospital and hearing that song in the background as your freind family member slowly fades away and you cant belive its finally happening.
@stingman94 yea the ending is amazing, he puts every ounce of emotion he has into his singing. this band needs to be heard more. they are one of a kind
@bigbamaboy50 actually i hope they won't be heard more. they are doing well, they have their own type of crowd and fans..and who cares man ? for me its the most talented band in music history...just enjoy it anyway
@Eyeseen they are very talented! they are extremely gifted! shouldnt a band that is so gifted musically be heard? i mean i understand where you are coming from, but they need to reach a larger audience, they are very inspiring to me, i listen to their music when i feel like i cant go on or i feel like everything is crashing down around me, it helps me get by..they need to get that gift out there and let it be heard by everyone!
@bigbamaboy50 You and I have different concepts for music..i actually thought just like you at the beginning, I was really disappointed that their audience is not huge like their music and talent...but just like you said- when you feel down and have music there for you, you don't think about how big their crowd is, you just think about how lucky you are to be among the ones who are able to appreciate the magic these guys are making.
I personally really care less about it...but I understand you
@bigbamaboy50 yes but you wouldn't want them to get too big or else they will become mainstream and lose that extra umph to their songs. most of the time with bands getting big they get more like every other band around them like how green day, linkin park and other bands lost their touch. alter bridge is great and i wish they were more famous, but i don't at the same time.
Today's music is controlled by teenagers mostly and the younger generation audience. That's who buys the music. Today's kids are interested in music having to do with sex, drugs, boyfriend/girlfriend songs. That's it. So that's Justin Bieber and Little Wayne, that's music of today. We've come a long way from the Beetles and Frank Sinatra.
@mattsimmons1 I disagree. I hope as many people get to hear the best band with the best singer in the world. They deserve that. Plus, they should benefit for all their hard work and talent. I hope they become rich and famous! I don't think they will change one bit, either.
@ColieSwt1 being rich and famous means nothing. . .changing somones life for the better and reaching out to whoever got us here is more important, but each to their own =)
I didn't think of it that way but that's a really good way to think of it. To me it makes me think of a breakup but now it makes more sense to think of it in the way you think of it
A song to die for!! :)
