[flyawaywithme27]

what does beyond december mean?

why did you change it to that as opposed to TBY?

<3<3

[TheMattSantos]

Beyond December is completely new

it's completely different

we are becoming something bigger and better than TBY ever was

the sound is more poweful

the lyrics more meaningful

We have become unstoppable

We have become immovable

We have become far more powerful

We have become Beyond December.

[flyawaywithme27]

@TheMattSantos

good to know! :D

[RedXXHead]

It's gonna be so weird saying it :/

[ThisIsWayTooAwkward]

there's a band in my town called After September i keep confusing the names

[VampirPrincessSquidy]

The Blaqk Year is the name that I will forever remember you guys by. But, Beyond December is a good name. -_-

[scarletlollipopz]

[LakeyVengeance]

[luv2sing245]

Guys, they're just changing a name. :/ That's all up to them. Be grateful they're still producing music, y'know? I like "Beyond December". You'll get used to it, I'm sure. I love it.

[BillyOrHeaven]

[firefly19971]

[luv2sing245]

@firefly19971 Well.. they're not the blaqk year anymore. xD; that's kind of disrespectful, don'tcha think? At least call them what they've decided to be called.

[IDidntEatYourKids]

[lydialily19]

[DarbyJones123]

GROW UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!THEY ARE STILL AN AMAZING BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM NO MATTER WHAT!!! IF YOU TRULY SUPPORT THEIR MUSIC, THEN YOU SHOULD SUPPORT THEIR NAME CHANGE, TOO!!!

[HandSshow]

To be simply honest. I like the new name better. Sounds more professional I guess; I don't know...just sounds better.

[familiarstranger95]

I don't care about the name change. I just panicked that you were breaking up, but your not, so all is good :D

[dntTrustAho]

I was so scared when I saw this in my subscription box. :[ I thought the band had broken up! I know not everyone is happy with the name change...But I think it's cool! :D Like, a brand new start to the new year. As long as it's still you guys playing music.(:

[ShaSha71993]

surprisingly i do think it was a gud name change i was a lil cut to hear they were changing it but then i went to there myspace page an i listen to the song on there an u can kinda feel that it was a good choice

love you boys xo

[punkprincess4225]

Where's Mattie?

[NoWayItsShay]

[JMK0727]

awh i thought the blaqk year was to original, beyond december is nice but its just own of those normal names. but its your guy's band so its up to you,<3

[darkdevil366]

I don't care what your band name is.

The music is amazing and truelly inspirational.

Just keep up what you guys do best.

[kikiLUFFSyou]

[megababe3000]

[GreenxBat]

[emokrustygirl]

Heyy guys i Love the namee i think its very meaning full and sounds cool ! :)

Whats the name of the song that was playing in the backround while you were talking ?? , can somebody please tell me ? :)

[NessaRox3]

As sad as this is, the new name is cool. Change isn't great all the time but in this case it is. Love you guys :)

[HoorayForVampirates]

[imnotdead2006]

Nice Legs ;D

[xxanime2emoxx]

I was so scared they were breaking up when i saw this!!!

[neonfiona]

A rose by any other name would sound as freaking good.

Get over it guys. I personally love the new name. You'll all get used to it soon enough (:

[malena135]

mmmmm idk..... i still feel like the blaqk year should be the name beyond december sounds way to.. mm idk >.<

[mmboc6]

Oh my, thank God!

I swear, when I saw the title "THE BLAQK YEAR" is no longer, I freaked. I was there thinking "NO! WHY THE FUCK DID THEY BREAK UP!??!?!?"

I think that Beyond December suits you guys more though, given your reasons. <3

[xxxbrinbxxx]

whats beyond December? a fecking long wait til my birthday. . . very bad joke (my birthday is in December btw, just so that makes sense) Still, awesome bad name :3

[AnnaxBilley]

When I saw the title of this video I was like OMG NOOOOOOOOOOO D: But now it's okay I guess. I just think that this namechange might be a little confusing, because there are songs from the blaqk year.. and I don't know what to say now if people ask me the artist xDD.

[Ingenkake]

You're still the same band who plays the same music, and thats the only thing that matters. You guys will always be TBY for me, tho.

Love from Norway :)

[04hday]

I love your new name :) <3

[CiaraWithLinzixD]

awwe :3

good luck in the future guys!

i like the new name :)

[asdfghjkellx]

omg i thought you guys were gonna break up rgktjgtj,het JESUS DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT

[rainbowmagicness]

hotties, add me

[baltoXamv]

*O* love the new name :D .... but damm you scared the shit out of me XD .. i wish you the best of luck ^_^

[pinkonpunk]

I like what ever name you guys have, no matter what the change

You guys are still just as amazing !! ♥

[gerardwaysfriend]

I thought the band was gonna break. I about fucking cried. D:

[helloilikemen]

I like the new name.

[U2SSana]

The same t-shirt

[AnneEsthetic]

I love the new name and support it 100%. I also love the meaning behind "Beyond December" and that it's not just a name. You guys continue to do great things and make amazing music and I hope you have many more years doing it <3

I love you guys soo much <3

[greendayrocker411]

You scared me! haha I love the name Beyond December, I think it's actually pretty fitting. <3

[whatchamadoo]

This feels like.. your best friend becoming a transvestite. But, you still love them and support them and all we need is time to get used to it, I guess. Yes, I know, very good comparison.

I liked The Blaqk Year but I understand the feeling of wanting change, because you yourself has changed.

What I want to know is, what about this Youtube channel? Seeing as it's called, 'theblackyear'.

But thank God, when I saw this video title, I feared the worst. ;[

[revolcisumjen]

WELL HEART ATTACK. I thought you guys broke up ;~; I was going to start crying. Your music is too awesome and fresh to just stop now. Besides, I'm still waiting for that Hurricane song.

[sonialambeck]

i dont care. i love the band and not just the name.

all the ppl who didnt like are not true fans. ¬¬

[AprilLouiseJones]

The Blaqk Year --> Beyond December...

new name sounds awesome guys!...

[disturbedeify1]

I can't believe I liked this band once upon a time, utter shit.

[PaintItBlaqk0]

It should have been Blaqk Jesus. Lmfao. And no I did not realize the initials would be BJ until like a few seconds after.

[aloneandbetrayed]

well, i do like the name the blaqk year but beyond december does fit u guys better :)

[Error4Life01]

I NEARLY HAD A FRICKIN' HEART ATTACK! I thought you broke up or something. O.o

[mblabezza]

holy crap. how hairy are your arms - never noticed before haha!

[amazingwater4]

So then how does the name Beyond December represent you as artists? That's what I want to know.

[theblackyear]

@amazingwater4 The name Beyond December, is more of an analagy. What is beyond december? A new year, a new beginning, a change. This is our new beginning, our change.

[titaniumdeathcore]

@theblackyear go BD's advisor ;)

[theblackyear]

Don't be upset guys, this is nothing major. You have to understand we grew, and evolved from the name we once had, and it didn't represent us as artists & what we want to do anymore. It'll take some getting used to not only for you guys, but for us too. We are confident that if you support us 100% as a band, you'll support us in this decision we've made. ♥

[JuliaEatsPuppies]

Aww, I love TBY, though. Well I guess if you guys aren't changing, I'm still 100% with you. Beyond December. <3

[hotpie321]

Well as long as you keep up the good music, I don't care what the name is...

[StephFerRealz]

Woah I thought you guys meant you guys wouldn't be a band anymore O.O I was scared for a second there lol

[YourEmoAngel211]

hmmm...Beyond December sounds cool...

but i don't know...

but you guys are still going to be you...So i guess that's okay?

right?

[AnnieLovesKillljoys]

you guys might change the name to Beyond December, but you will always be The Blaqk Year to me. :/

[raiinbowkunn]

:|

[SpecialGirl73]

WHAT!? 'aw dude no /:

i feel like Beyond December isnt really you

[richardgenox]

@SpecialGirl73 It's just a name change no big deal. The name doesent have to represent them it's just a name.

It's the music that represents them not the name

[Sc3n3St3ff]

@SpecialGirl73 It's not up to you to decide "what's them" now is it? It's their decision and if you're a real fan, you'll back them up in their choice to change the name.
