[danamcilrath]

I can`t wait for May 10th ! I`ll be in the same building as these guys, breathing thier air ! I can`t wait, and Tims hair is FUCKING AMAZING. The man can pull anything off !

[jfunk117]

[ImmaRanterBanter]

Ahh Tim is my idol as well as being a ridiculously beautiful man. :')

[20SecondsToJupiter]

His voice is the best

[highskolgrl13]

i love this banddd

[superhybridd9]

ARE those Harmonics i hear sqeezed in there at 0:24-0:39 sounds so beutiful compare to the other versions wish there was a tab with atleast those last 2/3 octaves in it

[JamesHackSk8s]

@superhybridd9 Every swing life away version has harmonics in it, they're just not as loud, chris' guitar is reallll loud in this, but i love it:)

[merkley28]

do people just go around and hate random videosfor no reason or do they hate things that people like

[jerichodream]

[evilwolfdemon1]

@jerichodream Now all you have to learn is grammar! :D

[jerichodream]

@evilwolfdemon1 Wow, how could i forget? This is the internet...where immaculate grammar is mandatory. Thanks for the heads up.

[evilwolfdemon1]

@jerichodream Anytime :D

[TartanTrouble]

I saw them on the 4th in Glasgow, best concert I've ever been to, and when they did this, god you should have heard it.

[Dany123z]

i started playing guitar 2 years ago becouse of this song and still havent learnt it

[chasedrewpiano]

@Dany123z You should learn it, it's fun to play

[alanihawaii123]

Pure beauty. Pure emotion. Pure genius. Words will never be able to express how much I love this song. Also, the thumbs-up at the end was absolutely ADORABLE. XD I really wish I could write lyrics like that. I envy whoever it was inspired by. =) If anyone wrote a song like this about me, I'd die.

[DEADGHOST360]

[superhybridd9]

[bradd613]

Is it wrong that I have 5 versions of them singing this song on my iPod?

[VonPetters]

Thumbs up if you don't f-ing care about his hair.

[ghoptrgdko]

@VonPetters I do. I love his hair :D !

[TheSnoop141]

@VonPetters I think his hair is aWESOME !

[petered2g]

@VonPetters what's about his hair? it's so fucking awesome! :D!

[LuvUrLips4ever]

@VonPetters you could just say it in stead of begging for thumbs like >_> we understand ur point you dont need thumbs for that

[peachrocker1]

what cd is this song from??

[lazz04]

@peachrocker1 siren song of the counter culture - one of my personal favorites

[QuickflipParkour]

@peachrocker1 siren song of the counter culture

[armand0]

we live on front porches and swing life away

[welhim16]

they used power chords that's all!

[justyn3tears]

@welhim16 thats not exactly true

[Ochoa1107]

this song make you think how you can make yourself better.

[NelsA1998]

They need a rise against Rock Band or Guitar Hero!

[Ackscar]

@NelsA1998 Hell Yes! :D

[53104]

@NelsA1998

They need to completley scrap that shit and get kids playing real instruments.

[cpharlan]

@53104 im 11 and i play guitar

[53104]

@cpharlan

Good man.

[xXxWolfmotherxXx]

@53104 I only picked up guitar because of guitar hero/rock band. And i'm pretty fucking good aswell.

[53104]

@xXxWolfmotherxXx

you evolved

[jib4jrc]

@NelsA1998 no they dont :O

[Sflame56]

@NelsA1998 well there is already. just don't play need to play them. Also is to not a.

XD

[DeathafterDecay7]

@Sflame56 there isent one, yes they are in some of the games but what he is talking about is a Guitar hero or rockband which is dedicated to a single band. Like Guitar hero: aerosmith or rockband: The beatles

[Acousticroots3]

@NelsA1998 damn i've been saying that for SOOO LONG!!! or at least a few for the new rocksmith game

[arranmc182]

@NelsA1998 There not sell outs

[smokeweedeveryday97]

@arranmc182 how would that make them sell outs?

[striker10b]

@arranmc182 they're* ...and its nothing to be insulted by, chill out.

[Misterbiggs1]

@NelsA1998 It would be too easy tho.

[JinkMcDyler]

That´s my favorite acoustic solo. There´s no better.

[DwarfOverlord]

i dont get how tim can write lyrics for EVERY song that connects with FEELINGS-its supernatural...

[colie0425]

Haha, I love Tim's thumbs up at the end.

[CallofDutyBeast63]

Apparently 3 people don't like Rise Against.

[efreadman]

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM TOMORROW!!! also they should've made a part for brandon at some point for lives

[Tz769]

@efreadman i saw them on thursday, they were amazing :)

[TheScrewed0ver]

All time favorite song hands down.

[TheSEPTER1]

JUST PERFECT!!!!!!!

[darkvirus37]

Dear Vevo, Let me start by sayin get your corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their friggin videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include song we like in our videos.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you wed go to your damn website. people who want greedy corporates gone thumbs up and copy and paste this on Vevo shit

[zacxl]

@darkvirus37 Vevo is one of the many reason why Youtube is still running. Although it does suck, its a small price to pay to have youtube at all. Dont get ahead of yourself.

[DivineDyllvan]

@darkvirus37 except for the fact that you can still be flagged for copyright infringement regardless if vevo is on here or not. if you post "our" (your) videos, then they would not actually include this (or any other) copywrited song. If you knew anything about how Youtube does its business you would understand the actual necessity of VEVO. Considering anyone who posts music/videos that they do not own the rights to can be sued for infringement, regardless if it was for personal gain, be glad.

[Rojeva14]

this is amazing

[QuickflipParkour]

tim james mcIlrath is my world november 3, 1979 is epic! :D

[The50feetdeep]

@QuickflipParkour hehe i have the same middle name as him haha :P

[QuickflipParkour]

@The50feetdeep awesome! :)

[amoshilel123]

fucking incredible is all i have to say even though i cant spell it

[artanay]

best version of this beautiful song in my opinion! awesome..

[Deepfriedshoe]

anyone have the tabs for this version? preferably with both guitar parts listed. Thanks

[iwinyoulose101]

@guitarguy1751

and his eyes

[pau871]

@guitarguy1751 his hair is always awesome and also his eyes

[guitarguy1751]

RiseAgainst VEVO!!! hell yeah!

[galmerkado]

They need to make acoustics versions to their songs more often...

[coke4ever321]

@galmerkado I'm not sure if you know this but this originally was an acoustic song

[galmerkado]

@coke4ever321 I know that i meant about the other songs that they played there (like prayer of the refugee)

[Trudy4943]

im not shure too :|

[realoik]

i love the harmonics that are in the intro

[guitarownerlol]

after i listened this 3 years ago i planned to start singing and play guitar,

i always tought i couldnt sing and now i just sing and play guitar for like 50-300 poeple some times :)

[VISHMAN14]

fucking zach killed rise against. i miss chris.

[dirtytoenail45]

@VISHMAN14 hipster tool.

[VISHMAN14]

@dirtytoenail45

Hm yeah youre wrong there asshole. If i were a hipster I would have said that I liked rise against "before they were cool." which i have never said. I love everything up to and including sufferer and the witness(which a lot of the older fanbase considers their "sell-out album.") Chris leaves, and Zach comes along with his bald ass head, and writes some of the most stale recycled riffs ever. there were a lot of good songs on appeal to reason, but also alot of bad ones.

[dirtytoenail45]

@VISHMAN14 this was a joke but you taking it so seriously proves you are.

[VISHMAN14]

@dirtytoenail45

pffft whatever man. if you wanna think that without really knowing me go ahead. dumbass

[mrciaran96]

@VISHMAN14 whats wrong with zach? at least he communicates with the crowd, chris just stood there. I admit, zach fucked up alot when he first joined but hes a better player now

[VISHMAN14]

@mrciaran96

true. the new album is a little better. but i dont think theyll top RPM, Siren Song, and Witness with Zach

[sbrcs564]

@VISHMAN14 Well, it's impossible to top those albums. You can't top infinite awesomeness. :)

[bloodyneko2]

seeing them on the 23 at sunset cove <3

[JohnKreeseCobraKai84]

3 people are heterosexuals. The rest are faggots.

[PsYcHo4MuSiC]

@JohnKreeseCobraKai84 "Faggots" is no longer a cool word to use. Get with the times.

[JohnKreeseCobraKai84]

@PsYcHo4MuSiC I don't use the word "faggot" to be cool. Faggot defines you. It's that simple. Would you prefer "queer bait"?

[PsYcHo4MuSiC]

@JohnKreeseCobraKai84 I would prefer you stfu if you have nothing nice to say. Thanks!

[ilovelemonysnicket]

@JohnKreeseCobraKai84 Yay I'm a proud faggot ;D

[TheAmerikkkanDream]

That's a sickass haircut Tim has!! XD

[GuitarWarriorSammie]

3 people crossed the street without holding someones hand.

[didthatjusthappened]

This is seriously my favriote song of all time

[stark1987]

3 ppl dont know how to swing life away

[CaptainMcMillin]

me and my girlfriend where at a dance and this song came on and everyone left the dance floor and in my head i was like WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!?!?!

[AlmostaFlipinSkater]

@CaptainMcMillin

i have a question. why the fuck is a rise against song playing on a dance floor? answer that, then you'll know why people left.

[darkace36739]

3 asses



[iizdownwitthizz]

[coliebear12]

The world would be a better place to live in if more people listened to this band.

[sk8teteamtrashmash]

[callumbagshaw]

[steelermom116]

[resdft]

[sbutala55]

[ford4373]

2:20 the shittt

[TheTsquared2010]

Love how theyre one of the few bands that sounds very similar live as they do on the album without having to lip sync

[olliedabomb999]

@TheTsquared2010 That is a very good point, however i love seeing bands go crazy on stage xD

[redbladeification]

OMG i cant palm mute like these guys this is my faverite band and i wanna learn this song i can do everything but the palm muting can someone please send me a message and help me out???

[XaurKun]

@redbladeification Their is no real specific way to do this perfect its all just practice

But i play this by anchoring my right hand palm to the top string just up from the bridgecause i find when i do that my downstrokes are muted but not my upstrokes. It adds a good sound. and just realese ur hand for chorus and stuff.

hope this helped

[flameman657]

This was the very first song i ever learned on guitar and I constantly play it every other day, because this song is perfect in every way. And it pisses me off at I turn on the tv and all i see is bullshit for music. and Tim here gets next to no recognition for being probably the best voice for our generation

[Ryoku1989]

Tim's got some intense eyes... lol

[vidsofawesomeness9]

@Ryoku1989 he also has a green eye and a blue eye

[wiiwouldntliketoplay]

@vidsofawesomeness9

Umm I think thats what he ment, lol, its actually a disease called heterochromia in case you were wondering.

[TechnicolorTypeA]

needs the backup vocals

[BenjaminCoversSongs]

Hey everyone. Sorry for posting this so much, but this song means so much to me, and it would mean a lot to me too if you could check out my cover of "Swing life away". I'm working hard to get discovered on YouTube, and you can help me do that! Watch the video, and if you like it, post it on Facebook, twitter, myspace, and tell you friends!

If I ever get famous, you can say "I was one of his first subscribers" ;)

~Benjamin Wolff von Selzam

[jakebakesthecake]

[mckg1]

[blaseyly]
