[4100mmv]

Alesana Tilting The Hourglass video created by 4100mmv

[Ried96]

so fuckin epic

[xXallthatisrandomXx]

my mom walked in the room when this song was playing...

"What is this crap you are listening to?" she asked.

I laughed, "This isn't crap mother, this is real music with real meaning and feeling."

She hasnt commented on my taste in music sense.

[br4hsk1]

@xXallthatisrandomXx that's a pity.

[west3con]

@xXallthatisrandomXx It's okay. I'm fine with my mom not being into my music. If you really want to meet some people who like Alesana just go to one of their concerts.

[azteksaiyan]

Epic

[sfplayer89898]

amazing

[cacciamani10]

I think we can all agree this is with much exclamation. :D

[sascha2495]

Watch my cover of tilting the hourglass please and give me ur opinion

Thanks :D

[saynet14]

I luv this song!!!!

[MrBLAZERADE]

0:40 - 0:50 is my favorite part

[ModernDayRape]

@MrBLAZERADE It was a very good part. I love Shawn's singing and Dennis' screams. The whole band is pure epicness.

[TheSceneIsVeryAlive]

I see all these people labeling themselves on here, and I'm like, "Whuut?" Are we all not just people, not a subdivision of emo or goth or scene or hipster or whatever? That's what this type of music is supposed to be about- uniting as the people who want to be something more than just another stereotype.

[TheSceneIsVeryAlive]

I wish they still played their older stuff live..this must be amazing to behold in person.

[Deathandbliss]

@TheSceneIsVeryAlive so they never are going to plat this song :( ?

[Deathandbliss]

did you all know Alesana new album is coming out october 18th a place where the sun is silent thumbs up please? :D

[VoidxAndxNull]

I love this song so much that it hurts. Really. :( And it wants to come out but I don't know how. :/ Does anybody know what I mean?

Btw, nobody beats DENNIS LEE in Screamo. *-*

[happystring1]

one more time 0:00!!!!!

[poizunlady67]

i love the line i see the fear growing in their lost eyes

[tonnytheponny]

3 people like justin bieber and hanna montana

[SuperJonathon1997]

Emo ( /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore"- Wikipedia

[hardcorefan92]

i didnt like 3:54.

[samuelthemovie]

@hardcorefan92 so did the replay bottum. 

[xBrutalityTV]

@totallyhotemochic theres a website, you type in your message, it comes up upside down, copy and paste :3

[crissyjackson17]

Awwww... I like it..I don't know.. But thanks Dan.. I love you

[XXXspecialkiddXXX]

3 people are gay

[CHEWIE768]

@XXXspecialkiddXXX Being gay isnt bad. why must you be so closed-minded and so deluded to resort to a comment like THAT. are you kidding me? like seriously that isnt cool.

[iheartronnieradke1]

im talking to my mom:

me: mom when i grow up i want to name my daughter alesana.

mom: why that name sweetheart?

me:because its pretty.

mom: but isnt that a name of an emo band?

me: MOM!! WTF THEY ARNT EMO!!JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT STYLE AND THEY LIKE TO WEAR DARK CLOTHS DOSNT MEAN THEIR EMO!!.

mom:...

seriosly you all need to stop trolling on any screamo vids because its not cool.in fact its really fucked up!

[CaptainBubuloids]

@iheartronnieradke1 Emo is a genre of music. Short for emotive punk. It's not short for emotional. That's bullshit.

[ModernDayRape]

@iheartronnieradke1 I fully agree with you. I also suggest making a witty comeback when any person does "troll" on you're favorite videos. I think if you can reduce a "troll's" confidence then he/she will probably stop making fun of that type of music. But if you ask all politely then that will just enable. My advice: just talk shit back.

[JustCallMeMrsAndy6]

my life would end if shawns ended!! thumbs up if u agree!!

[JustCallMeMrsAndy6]

0:39-0:53 omg orgasim

[MegaStevieful]

i hate the 3 ppl who dislike this song

[SkaterInBlack]

dude i like all ur alesana lyrics there rly fukin good, plus i like how you got the alesana at bottom lol great job

[darknesswolf199]

i love alesana! amd i have to agree 100% 2 skylight056. posers are soooooo f****** annoying

[skylight056]

alright lets listen up. everyone tht was lik "emogirl" "emo forever" or some shit as there username UR A POSER no real emo will admit to it. all emos kno ts jst a word thts a stereo type....

[pimpdaddyt96]

@skylight056 thank you! lol im a country boy born and raised in the south but i listen to pretty much everythin except rap cant stand it but thats my own choice but anyways yes i do agree on what you are sayin "emo" is a short word for "emotional" meaning that they are in a crisis in their lifestyle adn do not know what to do and they resort to being emotional

[Chazwick500]

@skylight056 Yea Ik its fucked up in my area every one thinks theyre emo! it pisses me off im the emo/goth boy here(I mixed the styles). The girls think I wear skinny jeans and make up im emo: That is the number 1 thing that pisses me off. The guys just think cause they listen to Nickelback(shit) theyre emo

[skylight056]

@Chazwick500 yea like fuck that shit if ur a real emo people will figure it out. like once i showed my friends a picture of craig mabbitt from escape the fate and their like "AHH he's wearing black he must be a emo." like fuck u dumb bitch. and nickelback is fucking trash.

[Chazwick500]

@skylight056 Haha omg! Black is more gothic than emo. They need to see a good picture of me when I go more emo than goth

[Deathandbliss]

@Chazwick500 nickelback sucks worst band ever

" On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax", but either way its great!!!! i honestly prefer their album "the emptyness" but On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax" is a great album too, they both are way up there in my books :D

[impossibleman5]

@MrChesney93 theyre old music wuz way better than the emptiness album but that album wuz still good

[cena039]

@MrChesney93 emptiness**

[kennyquick3]

@TheSuperduperdaniel On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax

[waynegarcia11]

You should post songs from The Emptiness(:

[billythekid291]

them two ppl misread the dislike button thinking it said dis i like :D

[slaughter5150]

that one person has a messed up mouse to make it to gravitate towards the dislike button

[EvilQueenXD]

Uh, the worst part about this song is that it ends! D'x

[nuffsaidguy]

good job XD

[Crapheadz]

I just lol'd at eldestluver's comment. Is that okay if I gave it a thumbs up, just because it was too funny? XD

[DarkSasuXxxX]

[ronmcr14]

[aldomucalliu1]

@KeylinTheEmoGurl cool! how did u do that???

[MissGoldenAngelGirl]

@KeylinTheEmoGurl OMG! ME TOO! But it's my favourite SONG. And of course fave from ALESANA. Alesana FTW.

[iwinyoulose101]

@XxabsentlifexX

and I say: HAI!

[iwinyoulose101]

@XxabsentlifexX

I repeat: Lol.

[iwinyoulose101]

@XxabsentlifexX

Lol.

[TheMotoboy305]

I think true love really does exist...

Alesana, will you marry me?

[iwinyoulose101]

@XxabsentlifexX

wow...Okay, 1st: don't tell people what to do, we will interpret songs if we damn well fucking please. And 2nd: Do you have any idea what it's about? Didn't think so. I'm pretty sure it's about the Greek-Trojan War/Odysseus. I could be wrong, but that's my interpretation.

Oh! And you misspelled the third "the.". Fail.

[WalkedTheFloorXx]

@XxabsentlifexX herp derp

[WalkedTheFloorXx]

@XxabsentlifexX You don't have to state things, it's just obvious. If it gets old, why keep on replying? derp

[WalkedTheFloorXx]

@XxabsentlifexX actually, you shouldn't have even made the comment you did in the first place. i have every right on the internet to reply to you whether you like it or not. if you can't handle comments, don't say anything at all.

[WalkedTheFloorXx]

@XxabsentlifexX *well, retard, if you read

You only abbreviated in the sentence of you asking me if I wanted you to stop abbreviating also (which is what i found stupid considering you didn't abbreviate anywhere else). I was referring to your "shut up" reply to me, if you wish to get technical about shit. Also, you might want to stop and think about who you're trying to play games with, Ashley.

[WalkedTheFloorXx]

@XxabsentlifexX You haven't abbreviated anything in your replies to me, so that question is stupid. It's okay, I wouldn't expect a dumbass to ask a smart question anyways.

[WalkedTheFloorXx]

@XxabsentlifexX Go stick a fork up your urethra & stop making gay ass faces using your keyboard.

[WalkedTheFloorXx]

@XxabsentlifexX The whole beauty in music is that people can interpretate it anyway they like. noone is completely wrong or right. don't tell others to shut up when they are just stating what they feel about something.

[littlehottie105]

POSERS WHO LISTEN TO THIS SONG AND SAY IT THE FAVROIT JUST CAUSE IT HAS SCREMO IN IT FU!

[littlehottie105]

@XxabsentlifexX  good job

[xsmurfx3x]

[AskingAlexandriaTbh]

Favorite song by Alesana<3

[AlexandriAxMansoN]

@AskingAlexandriaTbh Mine too! Right On! Btw, My favorite band in the entire world!!!!!!! <3 ;)

[MansonGoddess]

Amazing! This is one of my fav's by Alesana!!!

[pyscostarify]

I think this is ther best album but i alsoo really enjoy the emptiness because its the fist album ive ever heard that has a story behind it like where all the song tie together.

[Draggolinus]

doN`t wann post long text just can say it`s ab brilliant song <3 !

[BrittTheStrange]

this video has been here for about a year...O_0 hahaha i loooovvveee this song. Alesana's been my favorite band since last summer and this has to be in my top 5 fav songs :) "You take my breath away. But I'll never again taste your lips. As fate keeps me locked away, I must close my eyes to see your face."

[soloPurplelink98]

i love alesana and i like how this song has to do with dieing...i know i sound like a creep but sometimes u just kinda want to go away

[xxxvannahxxx]

a song is just like an abstract painting. we all see something different, no matter what the artist felt while creating it.

[PaRaMoRe957]

MY IRON EYES TELL THE TALE!!! Blah good song!

[zann3ify]

..LOVE IT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

..YEAHH>>>

[Xx0hmygawdxX]

Honestly, i think everyone has a different interpretation of this song. I know mine is waaay different from the real meaning... anyway, I LOVE THIS SONG. I've just fallen in love with it (:

[orphen268]

tbh i can see why eldest got confused lol this song does sound like it could be on there album the emptiness by some lyrics like "pen wears its steady course across the page resigned to its designes" as in drawing and "emptiness has darkened my eyes as i hopelessly beg for my life to end" cuz of the guilt thinking he killed annabel "i will destroy all those that appose me" the thespian other than that he's an idiot

[Xmotormouth31X]

ALESANA RULZ. I LOVE IT!

[jeydonwalelover94]

best song ever

[makasalanan06]

yeah thats right

[HellGirl6661]

I love Alesana!!!! Gracias por la letra. Me fascina su musika. Bye bye.

[RachelRocker24646]

1:39 Shawn says "will you forget" HOT!!!! P:

hahaaa amazing band!

They're my favourite band!!!

FOREVER! :D

[PSNDemonwing]

i really do like the songs but.... like dnt you think the screamer screams too much??? like if he s going to scream make it seem more powerful with emotion!!! like how sonny moore used to do in the band From First to Last..... that guy screamed hardcore in Ride the Wings of Pestilence!! thats actually screaming instead of dry screaming which is what this guy does and it kills the songs !!!if the lyrics were to be mostly sang normally it'll be a more successful band

[bertjeeuh569]

@PSNDemonwing nobody that's a fan of alesana thinks the same mate :)

their rly enthousiastic live,

the screamer litarly gives all he has,

and it's a hardcore band

if he wouldn't scream so much it would get soft and couldn't even be cathogorized as hardcore like asking alexandria / adtr

Alesana rulezz (l)

and mroe succes?

people just don't listen to alesana, cause they hate screams

and hate emo's but alesana isn't emo but w/e

[Str0ngSide]

This song is about Odysseus.

[Trevor4350]

On my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest on my chest

[gigilove961]

this song is like the best ever love it and the band they r awsome (L) ♥♥

[xXroseblooodXx]

♥♥♥♥my song -.-

[bertjeeuh569]

@632minnie uhm,

i don't really see the part where he gets its harder then he thinks xD

it even ends with "i see the fear growing in there"

[eldestluver]

@632minnie that is NOT the meaning. wat the hell r u talking about? do u even kno the story line behind the emptiness. this song is about the artist realizing that he was the one who killed annabeth. even tho the thespian tells him otherwise, the artist will not have it. ok ?

[CharredPasta]

@eldestluver this song has nothing to do with the emptiness... this is from their first album...

[ArmyStates]

@CharredPasta eldestluver Epicly Failed on that reply Lol! XD

[beastie244]

@CharredPasta im pretty sure this was their second album so..... fail!

[ZackiiYumm]

@beastie244 Its still a good song.

[632minnie]

@eldestluver u rly know NOTHING about alesana! this song is off the album "on frail wings of vanity and wax" not "the emptiness"....how stupid can you get?

[XxEmogirl913xX]

@eldestluver That is not the meaning of this song. what the hell are YOU talking about? The story you think your talking about is from the Emptiness, and even at that you still have it wrong. The artist was not the one who killed Annabel. and Who the hell is Annabeth??? It's Annabel you dumbass. Get your facts straight before you try criticizing someone

[Screamforpity]

@eldestluver Hahaha omg.. You fail a lot.

[xxblackmagnoliaxx13]

@eldestluver ok, dumbass, thats where you are wrong. HER NAME IS ANNABEL

[MrClownshoe]

@eldestluver yeah uhm budy this is from there 1st album wich was about the fall of the roman empire.. among other things..

[ostepop30]

@eldestluver You fail.

[MrStreetghost]

@eldestluver i was lolin at this

[Linzducka]

@eldestluver this song has nothing to do with anything you're talking about. you completely skipped an album. spoiler alert :

ALSO the artist did not kill Annabelle. she killed him.

[greenmcr32]

@eldestluver rofl annabeth, that made my day ^_^

[habitat1333]

@eldestluver i think you mean annabelle

[c4krazy]

@eldestluver akward lolz mad late but this shits funny

[MAG101PS3]

@eldestluver hahaha, Wow dude... You FAIL soooo hard. You did that on purpose right??

[Parigino05]

@MAG101PS3 ahahahahahahah I agree with you xD Biggest fail I have ever seen xD

[IgnoranceSociety]

@632minnie No.... xDD

[Str0ngSide]

@632minnie XD It's about Odysseus!
