  • Can you hear the desperate cries that are calling out your name?

    Twisting your arms, holding out their hands and tugging at your sleeve,

    Do you feel this underlying sense of urgency,

    Or are you as blind as me?

  • what album is this from? please tell me its on cds! i know some of their songs aren't :/

  • @soulgazer1 revolutions per minute

  • @theDjh101 hey who else is tied for first? they must be epicly beast if you consider them tied with rise against. Personally i love other bands too, but i cant really say any band ties with RA

  • dude i totally love the intro to this piece man

  • 0:00 0:09 free replay for that AMAZING introoooo!

  • i was never into rock music before i began to listen to Rise Against, the message they get across in all their songs are just so well needed from the world, and judging from just the comments i see on all of their music videos you can see how good the Rise Against community really is due to their message.

  • @zane2662 Hey, I don't even really listen [punk] rock much anymore. What's funny, though, is that when I did I didn't really consider Rise Against to be one of my favorite bands but now I would say they're tied for first.

  • Tim actually wrote this song trying to decide if Rise Against will take the direction they took, with mildest songs to appeal to a wider public and pass their message to more people or if they would stay hardcore with their original music and be heard by less people.

  • How about we just say it all good? To me all of their music is great. I have loved them from the first song on their first album to their last song on their newest. ya maybe they have changed but it does not mean they are any less great. so what if Endgame or Appeal sound different they are still the band i fell in love with.

  • "ever since the day I came here

    I can stand without your strings

    I'm so sick of all these people

    But I'm scared to be alone

    And if this life has taught me anything

    I forgot it long ago"

    these lines are so true

  • Chickenskin :) (goosebumps)

  • Damnit Rise Against, why are you so awesome? I need sleep.

  • @SlimeHeadz Amen.

  • its bands like these that make all the other bands look terrible -some of the other bands- because i only listen to like 2 or 3 songs from 1 band i might accidently stumble upon a rise against song and i will LOVE IT ALOT and listening to there music made me realize to listen to more then 1 or 2 songs...like paper wings and like the angel and black masks and gasoline were 3 songs i randomly just decided to listen to but the good left undone was my 1st

  • I'm so sick of all these people, but I'm scared to be alone...

  • @awinski999 Damn, you too? Savior introduced me to Rise Against too. Hooray for lacrosse videos, yeah?

  • Fucking awesome

    

  • Again, and again, and again, and again, and again...

  • ATR sucked... sorry.

  • @sbcistheboss

    Sorry? No need! Appeal is just fucking depressing! It got them sooo many fucking Savior fans who now think their the biggest Rise fans b/c of that song and album. That album was not even Rise. I wish it was a failure like Anti-Flag's Bright Lights of America which is proportionally the same to ATR except they didn't get a new fan base. and wats more DEPRESSING is how i saw them, they played like 2 hrs and only ONE FAT WRECK SONG!!!!!!!!

  • @AlmostaFlipinSkater First off, yes savior is a hit song that attracted alot of people, but your acting like it's a bad thing. Yes some people should listen to other songs then savior because there are alot better songs than that. But if Rise didn't come out with savior then i would never have found this band. Second you can't say that apeal was a failure when it came out with collapse, audience of one, the strength to go on, and from heads unworthy, that album is very good. (Out of characters)

  • @AlmostaFlipinSkater Savior had alot of hits, because it was a good song. That was one of Rise Against better albums anyway. And any decent fan would call them by their full name, instead of just Rise. What's really depressing is we have dumbshits like you in America that can't even spell the word 'what'. And Savior started a lot of fans on Rise Against, and they grew to become huge fans. Take into effect the possibilities.

  • @ostrichnipz

    1.you just contradicted yourself, idiot.you said I'm not a decent fanbecause I called them Rise.lmao.yet you said Savior had alot of hits...Savior is a SONG.Appeal is the album

    2. Nothing wrong with calling them Rise

    3.Youtube keeps characters below 500 so I had to abbreviate

    4. if Appeal was one of their better albums, why is it considered their worst by PUNK sites such as punknews, absolutepunk etc. The album was better for mainstream, NOT to their previous fans

  • @AlmostaFlipinSkater Maybe it was rated badly because the album was not intended to be a punk album. And I know Savior's a song, I said it was, and when I said album, I was referring to the album it belonged to. Rise Against has grown from the punk genre since 2008.

  • As a statement to the Old vs New, I saw them live (even talked to them after the show) Older songs such as Blood Red White and Blue were all played with much more enthusiasm from the band, more fire, more passion. And while Savior was known by more of the crowd those who did know the old songs let Rise Against know that they were much appreciated. (I was front row in St. Augi and could barely talk/hear after the show)

  • @PaulxJF Yeah when I saw them live they played their old songs even better than on the albums... I'd say that generally the younger people there knew the newer songs. And also there were a few people dressed like harcore punks knew the old songs but not really the new ones... altogether I'd say it evened out. And I agree with the more passion.

  • "I can't bare the thought of losing, I dread the attention winning brings"

    Story of my life.

  • Sort of reminds me of squatting. 

  • This song its so powerful !!

  • Tim Mcllrath has to be a descendant of god he knows everything

  • i can't find a song i don't like by rise against

  • @awinski999

    i can. it's called Appeal

  • @AlmostaFlipinSkater probly cuzz you're gay.

  • @awinski999

    are you 11? i can tell you're a little savior mainstream fan

  • @AlmostaFlipinSkater 17 brochacho. you should probably get a sense of humor otherwise life is gonna suck. i do like savior. it was the song that got me into rise against because it was on a lacrosse video. im sorry i didnt know that was a crime

  • I really feel that we can write a book of every Rise Against-song

  • I can't bear the thought of losing

    I dread the attention winning brings

  • Im so sick of all this people, but im scared to be alone! .. 

  • We either choose to follow, or be left on our own.

    This Song is my life.

  • I tried 2 cover this song but my Strings couldn´t handle so much Epicness (more or less)

  • i literally cannot stop listening. i am officialy and undoubtedly captivated. :D

  • AAARRRRGGGGGG......

    I destroyed my speakers on this song........

  • These guys know exactly how to describe how I feel

  • Rise against owns again xD

  • 18 people "can't hear"

  • "Hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning, I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes."

    Sounds like my boyfriend and I. Basically we're homeless, so this song kinda describes us. That and "Swing Life Away". <3

  • @alanihawaii123 haha "Basically we're homeless" yet you are on youtube

  • where is the EPIC button ... this song is epic (my fav)

  • for everyone who likes songs like this: look up the band No use fo a Name.. their ALMOST as awsome as rise against is..

  • God rise against is one of the few that can deliver emotion and still kick ass I love them but I miss their old stuff

  • "Hit the ground and I'm still running, but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning, I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes." (1:05 - 10:14) If that doesn't make you think I don't know what would.

  • AWESOME !

  • "I can't bear the thought of losing, I dread the attention winning brings...."

    Sorry of my life =\

  • I'm going grocery shopping this weekend.

  • @MagiculMexican lol... that made my day..(part racist joke

  • wow i just realized this song is about homosexuality.... wow im just astounded of how deep you gotta read between the lines

  • @KrazziJ24 how did you get that hahaha?

  • May favourite song of them! It is just the best.. I can perfectly fit any kind of emotional state.

    And it is the best track to begin with running in the evenings..

  • I HATE THIS SONG !!! It´s to short :)

  • @Riplay191: that's the thing with a lot of RA's older stuff; the songs are AMAZING but a lot of them are waaaaaaayyyy too short.

  • P.U.N.K. = People Under New King

  • damn why are all the sick song so short!!!

  • "I'm so sick of all these people but I'm scared to be alone." I've never heard a better line in my life.

  • @qbBoys agreed dude

  • @qbBoys true that

  • @qbBoys Yeah chills when i heard it

  • @qbBoys

    Ha... Is that it? For me its that I've never heard better words in my life.

  • @qbBoys and if this life has taught me anything, I forgot it long ago

  • @qbBoys Me either! I think it explains the life of half the people on this planet.

  • @qbBoys What about: TO BE, OR NOT TO BE, THAT IS THE QUESTION.

    Ye right;

    Ey Shakespear, sit the ***k down and listen to these guys.

  • @qbBoys that is one of my faovuirte verses out of any rise agiasnt song, and its not even my favourite song.

  • really awesome song !

    i miss the old rise against....

  • Ich seh sie im Määärz.yeeeees♥

  • 1:12 - 1:40 best part :)

  • @1games11

    funny how you listen to the exact type of music that goes against the shit you just did. if you dont like him, i dont either, then just ignore him. i see these dumbass spam comments everywhere, all you are doing is giving him free publicity. jesus you stupid. unoriginal too.

  • @1games11 Who the fuck is Justin Bieber?

  • @NightXemnas look him up

  • @1games11 stfu you tool

  • PUNK !

  • I listened to this song before and thought it was just OKAY, now i listened to it again and... I THINK I CAME

  • Last night, I was listening to this album for about the 100th time. I never understood why everyone raved about this album. I enjoyed it just the same as I had their other albums.

    When I got to this song, I was surprised. How did I not notice the beautiful combination of Tim's melody and the Instrumental elements of this song before? I listened to the rest of the album and started noticing other things as well. Torches seemed so much more beautiful. I realise, now how amazing this album is.

  • I dont understand how this song has anything that has to do with voices of camera

  • @darkvirus37 its about people like behind the scenes controlling things i think...idk really

  • awesome song

  • Rise Against has become mainstream. But that doesn't stop me listening to their older stuff. Sure the "Appeal to Reason" Album wasn't their best, but it was worth the £4.99 I payed for it.

  • @Olisleven I loved Appeal to Reason, But Siren song of the counter culture is audible ecstacy.

  • @Olisleven at the same time though appeal to reason may have been mainstream but rise against even admittedlty said that they had tried mainstream for once to try and get there message out to other audiences.. i remember reading thats somewhere at least lol

  • Rise against is one of the few bands that has stayed amazing threw all the years

  • gut gemacht ;)

  • Every good song have always about 1 or 3% Down-Votes.

    Who are that guys?

  • @1stKarkan Rap enthusiats

  • @Ri1seAgainst I like rap and i like this. Music is music.

  • Comment removed

  • Really? I can't like a song because some other kid likes it to? How shallow can you get?! Rise Against is about life not Teenage angst.

  • you know what's funny? the same people that accuse some bands of being mainstream are the same people who go "hey have you listened to this awesome band? they're so underrated they like should become more famous" for other bands

  • I think Rise Against deserves their exposure. They tour alot (and i mean alot) and they put together 5 great albums. I get tired of fanboys and fangirls that only know about the hits, but they'll still be my favorite band no matter how much the sound changes.

  • How can these people be mainstream? They're great, and they deserve to be ontop of other bands/people in which I'll keep to myself because if I say them I'm gonna get spamloads of hate.

  • @cerberusiscool to me some of the hits arent very good but my favorite are like the angel and give it all

  • there's a kid in the neighbourhood who is only 14 and likes rise against, so i cannot like it anymore because it's mainstream.... come on people lol

  • "I'm so sick of all these people, but I'm scared to be alone" Best lyrics ever made in a song

  • "If life has taught me anything i forgot it long ago":D:D

  • pisses me off how stupid ass people like lil' wayne and nikki minaj can make music out crap. Rise against's music has a meaning to every song. they don't sing about sex. they sing about how life really is.

  • @kbobshultz09 life is differend then others but the rappers way of life is the worst. most people who rap live like 60% less years then others because of the gang related stuff. its sad that music does that but its the way they make it. they arnt forced to do it.

  • @kbobshultz09 to true man, to true

  • "Im So Sick of All These People, But Im Scared To Be Alone"

    best line of the song, though the whole song fucking rocks

  • this amazing song,reminds of an old friend of mine,.

    rise against forever !!!

  • I miss this rise against

  • It's kinda short, but Rise Against ROCKS!!

  • This shits going on my ipod!

  • OMG. I've heard this so many times but never realized it was RA. GAH! Thanks so much for this video, Shadow1Soldier <3

    And I like the line 'The heart is something you can't control'. Homophobes, RA got this one right as well.

  • i want this song played at my funeral, someone can have my corpse over for the night, keep my stiff body warm, and have em close my eyes

  • @olddog257 God! o_o

  • @evilkidm93b what? not morbid enough, sad but true though

  • a band can be mainstream as long as they dont get influenced by the record company and stay true to their own lyrics and not to switch anything up. Example. Rise Against

  • my favourite RA song,

  • Siren Song and The Sufferer and the Witness are my two favorite Rise Against albums.

  • every single one of their songs tell a story.

  • lovee this song <3

    

  • My whole family are huge fans but had never heard this but it brought tears to my eyes personally, I can definately say tim and rest are gentlemen and heros of the zeros for sure, thanx AGAINST

  • @olddog257 Same here, some of these songs really deep, I guess I could say. Definitely a great band.

  • Tis is the Rise Against we all know and love!! Some of their newest stuff (Appeal to Reason) has taken a different path...It's what bands do. Take the sucess of Madonna as an example. I've stayed a loyal fan and having heard some of their vinyl releases (Sight Unseen, Death Blossoms)..I'm really excited to know they are reverting to a closer version of the music that got them where they are!!

    Keep Rocking!!

  • @nicmrobichaud very well put :)

  • i'm sp sick of all thesepeople

    but m scared to be alone

    wow, my life at school in one sentence...

  • realy realy love this song O.O

    " I hit the ground but I´m still runing..."

    rise against lives forever!

  • Lol, I didn't even know this song existed, i thought it was voices of dissent, appearantly this also exists.

  • I love the first 10 seconds! Rise Against forever.

  • They need a repeat button. I keep having to tab over to play it over and over. :P

  • @OreoXGaara I totally agree with you :b

  • @OreoXGaara just make a playlist with only this song and multiple copies

  • @OreoXGaara type repeat next to youtube in the url

  • 0:00-2:18 best part of this song.. I LOVE RISE AGAINST \m/ (>_<) \m/

  • Comment removed

  • the god of music!

  • if i had the patience i would honestly post "i love Rise Against" on every single one of their videos.

  • 18 days to RA !!!

  • Lets sum up the beef old kids have with new material:

    The Unraveling: Hardcore punk

    RPM: Definition of hardcore punk

    SSotCC: punk

    TSATW: punk rock

    ATR: rock (with punk overtones)

    hardcore punk as a genre: a bunch of bands that kids who know about fucking dedicate themselves to.

    rock as a genre: radio fad bands!

  • Song speaks a lot about me. On camera, people don't hear what I say even if it's important. Off camera, I get that chance. Boy do I take it....

  • I'm going to see them with pearl jam. IM SO HAPPY

  • best intro of a song EVAR!!

  • @h82lose4

    rise against instruments rnt rly all that special (they complement the song and w/o them the songs would surely die) - well i guess they do better intros than metallicas 5 minute intros (metallica FTW)

    My favorite RA intro is definately Behind Closed Doors

  • no matter what i cant seem to find a song from rise against i dont like,they rock that hard.love you guys

  • This is my favorite song ever from them and I will always adore Rise Against's classics.

    However, they're still awesome. Appeal to Reason is as epic of an album as the rest, and I know their next work of art will hold up to their standard.

    Plus, I saw them back in 07 and then this December, and their shows are more intense than ever.

    Live on, Rise Against, you inspire.

  • What shall I say?

    This band is the best example for "a band I love & wouldn't want to live without"

    Huh... just... Rise Against.

    <3

  • cool. What program

  • one of my fav rise against songs

  • this song it`s awesome !!!! :D

  • This song resonates closely with my own feelings. Can't clearly express them, and they can feel so damned jumbled; but I'm sure it's not an uncommon thing.

  • @fenrirbr

    ...I should try that

  • this cd and obviously this song are great to hear while youre banging a chick!
