  • This version is awesome!^^

    The Pre chorus thing sounds sweet :)

  • The acoustic version suffers for not having the screaming before the chorus. Although it wouldn't really fit. Apart from that, this is perfect.

  • i wish i could sing like this, i got the guitar down, just no vocals

  • me too man your not the only one

  • Yeah agree his vocal is such fucking good!

    Good live, Good on videos, Good with acoustic songs. Pure awsome.

    Sorry for my english

  • well duh, the sound in any music video is refined and sounds almost flawless, and you dont get that with live performances.

    Which is one reason this is so awesome because even though it's not all refined and whatnot it still sounds awesome!

  • Rehashing what you do on the record is weak. Anyone can do it like that. And the screaming would sound like shit with this song, so...

  • The point of acoustic singing & playing is for a different approach to what the band puts out on their albums & how they play live. It's another sort of Point of View. It's mainly to showcase a band in a different light to what their fans are more accustomed to. Tim is a great singer, acoustic or live.

  • lol the song sounds so calm but when you listen to live or album version it sounds so loud and makes you wanna jump and scream hooray

  • one of the best songs ever

  • amazing song but the intor at 23 is so dry without the drums

  • This song is great! and it has just as great meaning.

  • amazing vocal skills

  • well remember since their doing acoustic the drums would be heard too much

  • not true... seether did an acoustic set and they had their drummer playing.

    And sounded amazing..

    Rise against are an amazing band.

    And tims voice is unique .

  • id be cooler if brandon was in the back with bongos. its just not the same when the everyone else is there but not brandon.

  • yep,that would be pretty awesome :] and yea..it feels like somethings missing

  • no drums?

  • It's an acoustic performance, no. Lol

  • "the planet is fine...the people are fucked"

    -George Carlin

  • The Planet is fucked, So are the people - Me

  • Haha so true

  • @mrsuavelukez12  EXACTLY.

  • I like this but. Im to used to tim exploding. Its like.. Not enough energy in this lol

  • well duh because this is not the finished song the finished one is really good

  • I know...

  • wow these guys put on one hell of an acoustic set. i love it.

  • lmao you notice how the bassist is never in the shot xD

  • Lmao, yeah!

    But bassists are never really included in anything! :P:P

  • but the bloody well should be lol :p

  • Yeah they really should be... Like imagine what it'd sound like without a bassist!

    Icky!

  • holy shit!

    tims hair looks bomb.

  • its about our planet and how where treating it.

  • the sufferer and the wittness

  • better than on the cd!

  • My favorite song!!

  • buy the album

  • I really wana get tis song, but cant get it from itunes australia. How can i get the song?

  • if you want the acoustic version.... you can search for dwnlds but it may be illegal

  • That guitar is tight

  • I personally think that this is as good or even better than the original. He sings with his heart now. The only thing that's missing is the grunge in his voice, but he even puts that in there. I don't know. It's a close race. But 2nd favorite. Audience of One or Paper Wings is tied for 1st...haha.

  • would you people PLEASE stop bitching about music

    thats supposed to be the beauty of music, no one has the same prefrence, your not an asshole cuz you like 50 cent and your not a faggot if you like blink 182

    you people are no better than the people that bitch about your music

    appreciate the beauty with an open mind and appreciate music for what it is not what it isent

  • blink 182 is gay.

  • now you look like a fag

  • i say SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH YOUR BULLCRAP!! >:|

  • what? no screaming?? i like the studio recording way more

  • Everybody's gotta slow down once in a while. These guys have immense talent to go from hardcore punk to rock-driven punk and all along have been able to unplug and deliver moving acoustic performances.

  • They are so AWESOME!!

  • NICEE!!!

  • did u know they are all vegans?

  • Yessir. I think that's pretty admirable. They're walking the walk.

  • and i also know the meanings to a lot oftheir songs, too

  • do u know this song is about...cause alot of people think its bout a boyfriends and girlfriend when it isnt

  • what is it about

  • dude if you dont like Rise Against then dont watch it simple

  • I do like Rise Against.

    But everytime I watch one of these videos someone tries to act like they're a guru or something, and it annoys the hell out of me, because most of them probably haven't heard more songs than this and prayer of the refugee.

    (Yes, that's a bad thing)

  • if ur talkin about people like me, shut ur face 'cus i have 4 of their albums, man!

  • Doesn't matter. You're still filled with a bunch of trivial horseshit that's common knowledge among anyone who has ever listened to this song.

  • dude take a fuckin chill pill

  • Alternatively - You could suck dick.

  • they inspired me to become vegetarian because of this song

  • nice

  • yeah... im actually starting think about being a vegetarian now because of them, too.

  • meh...i really like rise against, but i dont think this song sounds as good played acousticly, still good, but better when he's loud and the guitar's amplified XD

  • I love how he can be, like, screaming, but then he sounds so, pretty when he's singing acoustic.

  • i think is whats left of his original longer hair. (as seem on Give it All music video)

  • this sounds so different from the original but so awesome

  • Good cover of a good song <3

  • it's their song, not a cover...

  • The non-edited verson sounds completely different.  The voice....

  • spacko

  • yes rise against in dublin 2morrow gonna b sweet

  • He really needs a decent haircut

  • lol Tim is the only person in the world that can make that haircut work

  • lol agreed

  • my gawd they are amaazing!

    cant wait for dublin gig :):):)

  • it sounds so ...different at the begining

  • Acoustic

  • i argree

  • its called accoustic

  • I didn't mean "they like me", I mean they as well as me, don't give a shit. You gotta stop and learn grammar my friend..

  • *sigh*... OK my name is an old game made by bungie...

    It was a good game...

    Btw.. You have quite an attitude! xD

    And no im not from Philippines...

    You are very bad with grammar.. Not that I care... Just pointing it out. =D

  • they're sooo good live. i saw them about two years ago

  • I think RA should make an acoustic album. That would rule so hard.

  • you could write it on their page on myspace;)

  • Dude, anything they do would rule so hard. If they made frikkin techno they'd find a way to make it badass.

    BTW a side project of Rise Against was a screamo/metal band called The Killing Tree. Pure epic win. Look 'em up. It has a few of the same members as Rise Against, including Tim. FTW.

  • Ok this is mostly for "PSPModder94"....yes TKT is kind of a side project that never really worked but the entire band wasnt involved in it... it was Tim and Todd Mohney. so your kind of right but yea.... oh yea and check out Tim's other bands "Baxter"

    and "Arma Angelus"

  • agreed! but do u mean their songs in acoustic form or new songs? either way it would still be awesome

  • I can play this and this is a great sonng

  • there should be more views this is fuckin awesome man

  • The two recordings of the song sound different but there both AWESOME!

  • Amaaaaazinnnnng. <3

    Gotta love these guys. Meaning and it sounds like Christ touched his vocal cords and ...music-y stuff.

  • Well at least I'll have the best day of my life tomorrow, even if I die the day after.

    Get a life.

  • you a gay fag it no work

  • such a great song.

    :D

  • does anyone know what kind of guitar tim has?????

  • looks like some kind of gibson judgin by the headstock

  • im pretty sure its a taylor but im not sure what model

  • I reckon it's a Taylor too (814ce) Headstock's different than Gibsons and the bridge is a pretty distinctive shape too, check their website out dude. Great guitar great playing! 8)

  • These Acoutsic versions are sweet. Its cool to see that their songs don't have to be played on electrics to sound great!

  • fxcking hell, wow :']

  • is this tim

  • tim has a dirty shirt :)

    haha, i love this version

    it's great

    shall be seeing them in feb :)

    so excited!

  • love his voice....

    the recording isn't that bad...

  • i think this is a gr8 song !!! how can u call yourself a fan if u dont like the sufferer and the witness??? i love all there songs

  • for me sufferer ist the best record they made so far. ready to fall is the best song ever written!!

    my opinion. ;)

  • Rise Against is an amazing band. But this recording is just bad. still great band though.

  • i agree

  • i disagree.

    its really good.

  • tims voice is usually really good live. and yes, the unraveling and sufferer and the witness are two different albums, but they both have their highs and lows. but they r both amazing albums. i wouldnt say this song SUCKS. it just doesnt sound good here. still love it. NEW ALBUM OCT 7th APPEAL TO REASON. BUY IT.

  • Actually this song kinda suck

    cuz the album it's not that good.

    Ready To Fall, Prayer Of The Refugee & The Good Leftundone annoy me!!!, when i went to the warped tour in san diego, most of the people only knew the lyrics from those 3 songs!

    nothing like The Unraveling!

  • whoa... i went to that shame show.. ahaha it was sick.. some chick in a wheel chair got fucked up and they had to stop playing.

  • I like Rise Against. But this recording sucks, his voice is not like his other videos, its like he didn't warm up and he is all raspy. I don't understand how every comment for this video is like "YESS THIS RULES!" ... meh

  • i'm going to have to agree with you there

  • maybe it's just because he has to take a song that has screaming and harder vocals and make them acoustically "acceptable" it makes no sense to scream during an acoustic song. He just sings it differently than on record. It's still a great recording.

  • WOW n1

  • YEAA!!! Rise Against RULEZ!!

  • canada kubecka sorry i accidentally gave you a thumbs down.

  • I'm not gonna lie I really like this song. Acustic and origional but because of the electric guitar in the beggining I might like it better. Whatever the case he still has an awesome voice!

  • that sounds so nice... i love them...

    2008-05-21 I see them live <3³³

  • ya.... it does sound like country.... (huge sarcasm)

  • to convince you that i'm not a ghost or the stranger but closer then you think <3

  • do they have a drummer????

  • yea, this is just an acoustic recording

  • i think both versions are perfect

    its difficult to find something like rise against

  • I like the version with the electric guitars better.

  • i agree.

  • Tim Mcillrath is a really insightful person, dont know if any of you guys have listened to him speak, but he is really smart and articulate

  • if u liked the song , then comment positive comment, if u didnt liked the song dont comment just rate : bad .

    stop with the discusions

  • Awesome!<3

    Great Job
