Rise Against - Dancing For Rain (with lyrics)

[novatotubaboy]

this is quite possibly the greatest song of all time

[gruntage95]

I have an exam in the morning, this just seems like a better use of my time than resting.

[TheGreentomato123]

@gruntage95 How was your exam going? :D

[salmansufiwwe]

@gruntage95 gimme a HELL YEAH!!

[malikys]

i'm inlove with the guitar playing in this song ~ Amazing !

[scottelbadass]

cool street fighter sent me

[ExplosiveOcean]

Wish they would do an acoustic version of this song!

[iPayMoreExpectLess]

Does anyone know the meaning to the song. I like to think dancing for rain represents the futility of trying to complete an impossible feat, like the Indians would dance uselessly for rain. But the rest of the song doesnt fit.

[Themightychickensbff]

who the hell made the reaction cute?

[wrestlingfanman22]

Best song in the album imo.

[Mike007RA]

The verse at 2:43 is so sweet!

[blitzhannan]

The English slang usually isn't that bad, I mean anybody that is fluent in English can usually underestand most, if not all of it... However, when people start to talk in that texting slang bullshit, it becomes very diffuclt to undersand; especially in writing... I've read over examples of essay answers for standardized tests and seen multiple cases of shitty punctuation, capitalization and strange acronyms, "lol" being the most prevalent... -.-

[elsimo94]

@blitzhannan Australian slang for the win :D

Try and get around that.

[blitzhannan]

@elsimo94 ill keep that in mind haha

[gummyform]

dontcha hate it when the top comments are a reply and you spend like 10 minutes looking for the persons comment?

[nielllubieRS]

@gummyform click show all comments and then press ctrl + f ...

[electro152]

Awesomeee :D

[Fringe2055]

Actually, we speak imperfect English. Everyone speaks and imperect form of their language, often due to accent or dialect. Only machines speak perfect English cause, well, ya know, robots are kinda perfect, and humans aren't. Also why most scientists believe things like the universal translator from star trek is highly improbable. Oh, and Rise Against RULZ! :D

[sbcistheboss]

@Fringe2055 Americans speak imperfect English. Haha

[TheWayfarer987]

@Fringe2055 Robots are only as their human creators allow them to be, thus, they are not perfect.

[TheGreatLittlefoot]

@TheWayfarer987 Humans can see to an extent what is perfect, but cannot portray it in themselves- but may be able to create it in others. Also it depends on your definition of perfect doesn't it? :)

[TheWayfarer987]

@TheGreatLittlefoot I guess so, yes. But just because we can see perfection doesn't mean we can acheive it. But oh well. We're not here to debate what perfection is, we're hear to listen to some damn good music.

[pyr0inbound]

@Fringe2055 Ah, philosophy time....

Can an imperfect thing make a perfect thing? I think not my friend. Also, please define perfect, as humans did create these robots did they not, and if programed by imperfect beings, then they can never truly be perfect as they would be programmed to reflect the views of the programmers. Thank you and........ RA 4 Life :)

[ater367]

@pyr0inbound i for one embrace these overlords and the the robot arm that will strangle if I don't agree

[julie13771]

[Masterdarwin88]

"You bled me dry...

But I'm still breathing...

I swear I'm sucking dry the sky...

And you won't ever...

Find us kneeling...

Or swallowing your lies..."

@hellobobby67

[LordFarsight]

I have only one thing to say on this song : AWSOME

[RSskiller22]

[wickedzombieslayer]

6 people mis read dislike for dis-I-like

[Teag1994]

@wickedzombieslayer Thumbs-up whore fail at getting thumbs-up.

[wickedzombieslayer]

@Teag1994 Wasn't trying. U noticed so thanks you troll :)

[scrumpyJ5]

@Teag1994 we all know wickedzombieslayer was trying.

[PercussionDoneRight]

Those chickens are indeed mighty good sir. +10000 awesomeness to you.

[RSskiller22]

6 misclicks tbh

[animeplusvampire]

@Speedloder123 XD Nice. Although it's updated to six now.

[Coulation]

To thoes 5 dislikes GO FUCK URSELF this is a great song!!!!!!!!!!

[DeNBJarNe]

I can't believe youtube did the effort to put a dislike button on this video, because only haters could possibly dislike this...

[themightychickens]

@DeNBJarNe I know it's hard to understand, but be a big boy and accept that not everybody has the same taste in music as you, pleaaseeee? One day when you grow up, you might understand it (I sincerely hope you're 5 years old, if not...)

[SFNevermorre]

@themightychickens HA! I thought that was my comment when I first saw it. I ussualy told ppl that one day they'll grow up and realize how pathethic they were =D.

[ThisIsTheErmaShow]

@themightychickens A bit harsh for what was said originally...

[themightychickens]

@ThisIsTheErmaShow I'm sorry (no I'm not) but that's just the way I roll. Deal with it.

[ThisIsTheErmaShow]

@themightychickens Sounds like someone's bitter and needs to get laid... and I won't deal with it... because I don't care enough to.

[themightychickens]

@ThisIsTheErmaShow So if neither of us really give a fuck, could you tell me again why we are having this discussion? I have other things to do, you know, being bitter and not getting laid.

[ThisIsTheErmaShow]

@themightychickens Clearly you give a fuck. You're the one over reacting, afterall. And Wow, you do sound quite busy.

[themightychickens]

@ThisIsTheErmaShow Because when you react to someone messaging you, you obviously give a fuck.

Your logic = flawless. Your abilities of understanding sarcasm = Flawless. Value of the YouTube "block user" button = Priceless.

And while I'm wasting my time with you, I'd like to point out that blocking you is not a product of bitterness or overreactions (terms you seem to be throwing out quite generously), it merely means I can't be arsed. Have a nice day. Or not. Whatever suits you.

[321MusicGal]

@themightychickens YOu tell 'im. :P

[kobra678]

@themightychickens ....he was saying that this song is awesome take a joke and chill out

[lovepugsnotdrugs]

I love the bit where Tim says 'air' in the chorus. I guess I just love Tim's voice. Its really good and its very unique. Love it when he goes high

[pauloskostas2]

thumbs up if that song got stuck in ur head,,,, GREAT SONG :D

[TheChloe420]

this song is what got me hooked on to them!

[usrname468]

200 thousand views and 4 dislikes. Speaks for itself.

[sbcistheboss]

I love Rise Against because. A) their amazing messages in every song they have. B) The great music along with that message. C) Tim's voice and passion he puts in it. And I`m too lazy say anymore. Though there is nothing left to be said.

[MILTONKAPLANIDIS]

@sbcistheboss U R SO RIGHT, but wat i like most is th message they have. I like how they stand up for what they believe and not gon with the rest of the crowd. <3 you Rise Against

[themightychickens]

@MILTONKAPLANIDIS Sometimes I wish that being a grammar Nazi would actually make a difference at times, but it just seems to get worse and worse...

PLEASE: SPEAK AN EXISTING LANGUAGE!

[sbcistheboss]

@themightychickens Well, that kind of is an existing language, its name is "slang" or "street", not really my cup of tea, mind you. But, in some areas (not countries) it's somewhat of an existing language that seems to thrive throughout that place.

It isn't a real one language of course.

[themightychickens]

@sbcistheboss Actually, English slang isn't a language in itself, it is merely "incorrect" (depending on how you define incorrect) usage of the English language.

[skripz001]

i genuinely believe there is at least one person, who just goes on every video they can and dislikes it regardless if they like it or not or even if they've heard of the band before. it wouldn't bother me....BUT HOW DARE YOU DISLIKE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allagainst1000]

the name dancing for rain comes from old legends of people who lived in country's where it would not rain for days, then they dance hopefully pleasing the gods thus they make it rain.

[Misfitfan69]

who are the 4 sick fucks that disliked this song??

[JARS0221]

4 people got rapped by this song, made there ears bleed

[BrodyDawg12]

real men play violen

[ChecktH1S0UUT]

Rise agaisnt has activists and environment protectors , they use in subjective way the actual climate problems to describe life problems. like the drough was the problem and the rain was the solve of the problem , and dancing for rain was the way out to solve the problem but ofc we cant "dance for rain". really love this.

In other way more like RISE AGAISNT, agaisnt what the govrnment do. but Their DROUGH is so big that they cant change nothing. they just keep Dancing for Rain.

Hope I Helpld<3

[ChecktH1S0UUT]

This song to me have like 2 diferent meanings.

In a Way it can relate a relationship love or friend that for some reason its not working like it used to. when it says" this drough bleeds on now we're dancing for rain" . It seems to me like some1 is struggling to Put and end to the Drought even trying the impossible "dancing for rain" but then it says "we drink the air , but it's still not the same. It means that how hard he tried, nothing has changed. the Drough bleeds.

[teve24tube]

the beginning is the best part. i feel like i am falling off the edge of a cliff slowly... and then i fall...

[ChecktH1S0UUT]

Is this song About Sex or about REvolution?

[TheSeokr]

This song. Is a eargasm forced by ultimate rapage to your sound sensory organs :D

[TheSeokr]

This song. Is a eargasm forced by ultimate rapages to your sound sensory organs :D

[guitarownerlol]

eargasm.

[123xane321]

TMC is my hero <3

[jazzabehere]

@ShunLifeify I am so completly confused here, surely you arent talking about TMC's argument with BMX204?



[rocker22496]

@BMX204 Aren't many deaths caused directly by marijuana, because marijuana has very few short term effects and it could kill you years after stopping. Also marijuana is known as a gateway drug meaning it won't kill many people directly, but once you get used to the high that marijuana suppliesyou with, you move on to more dangerous drugs and if you personally never move to bigger drugs than great, but not everyone is so easily satiated and it may not hurt you, but it hurts a lot of other people.

[killer11805]

i became a fan of Rise Against just after i heard 2 songs

[hellokitty3166]

@killer11805 mee too & it was after listening to Prayer Of A Refugee. :D

[killer11805]

@hellokitty3166 mine was savior...

[hellokitty3166]

@killer11805 ohh i barely found that song :o but its one of my favorites :D aha

[Econds]

@themightychickens: you feel smarter by telling other people stupid? nice I hope it helps your self esteem

[themightychickens]

@Econds I can tell by your excellent grammar that you're rather hopeless yourself, so I find it very understanding that you defend your fellow nitwits. Too bad you're not very good at it.

[Econds]

@themightychickens so you criticize my grammar because you have no argument at all? You're more intelligent than I thought

[themightychickens]

@Econds I have nothing to prove to you. Actually, I couldn't care less about you.

[Econds]

@themightychickens right you just like to waste two responses with the people you don't care, your logic is so flawed

[jazzabehere]

@Econds Maybe he just finds it fun when people get all worked up at him over Youtube?

[themightychickens]

@jazzabehere A little bit ;)

[bajesus666]

@themightychickens really? correcting grammer on a youtube video? pathetic.

[themightychickens]

@bajesus666 Not as pathetic as your spelling.

Grammar*

[ISN1P3DI]

@themightychickens lol owned XD

[RaptorScream79]

@bajesus666 *grammar

[bajesus666]

@RaptorScream79 your cool

[RaptorScream79]

@bajesus666 *you're

[xROGUExONEx21]

@RaptorScream79 lol 

[marcos94santiago]

@RaptorScream79 awsum :D

[themightychickens]

@ShunLifeify I don't even know where to begin... Homophobia? Sexual hate crimes? Asshole face? Good fucking grief...

[prepprincess1148]

i think its beautiful :P

[themightychickens]

@BMX204 I don't know whether to laugh or cry at your stupidity...

[willroggero]

@themightychickens Cry at it. What a loser. I can't believe people willing are that ignorant not stupid. He can fix himself.

[AJEsimply]

@willroggero CORRECTION! He's like and xbox 360 with red rings: It will NEVER be fixed even if you think it could be

[themightychickens]

@MCKeticaKing Weed is related to everything it seems.

[dewybmt]

@Rickly09 weed technically isnt a drug, it was illegalized because anyone could grow it for free and the government wasnt profiting off of it seeing as it could be used for some medical purposes and since people were using it to help protest against war, thus it was illegalized to help the government basicly. of course its legalized for medical purposes, but it was basicly unfairly illegalized. so weed isnt really a bad thing since it really doesnt harm you.

[bosmansful]

RISE AGAINST!

[bosmansful]

JUST AWESOMEE!!!

[laurenzable]

just sooo good

[dutchman646]

eargasm ftw :D

[zJakeWall]

This song makes me horny

[MrRanting]

[chaosunit100]

This song reminds me of what happened in Japan. its like this song is for Japan.

[lampard10dary]

I Love this song <3

[Groningenable]

marvellous drummer :)

[Evacrimson]

it's about how the world is in a time of crisis and that the government does nothing to stop it or help. and how we need help and if we stand up for ourselves will our opinions matter... theres a lot to it. that's a short version of it

[daffyecho]

its crazy to think that i was 14 when this album came out. ugh. i wish i could remember all the music i loved so much back then. and if i couldve kept track of all my cds, shit i dont think they make a cd case big enough.

[ChibiSugar]

So you're in charge of Rise Against..

Its like you have every song o.o

Awesome dude.

[smexibeastxx]

for thee other 4 who hate this song FUCK YOU!!!

[juanlu22am]

I love this song :)

[MagiculMexican]

I miss the old Rise Against. FIRST THREE ALBUMS WERE THE BEST.

[NickTKazmierczak]

@MagiculMexican Every band changes over time and it is almost sad to see how much they can change. There will never be another band like this because of all the BS music getting thrown around now

[omester72]

BEST BAND EVER PERIOD

[gif10102]

RISE AGAINST THE BEST !

[justice5150studios]

[Iwillnotbow44]

Four people aren't dancing for rain

[Iwillnotbow44]

If I held my ground would you ask me to change?

this drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain.

We drink the air, but it's still not the same.

These worlds collide, but the distance reamains

We point the finger never accept the blame.

[Areeani]

This is torture, i have to pick one bloody song for a school project, i just cant do it, its so damn hard, I seriously cant think of a favorite song or anything like that, there ALL so amazing

[12345carle]

Mom: Where are you going?

Me: To kil..

Mom: STFU that was so 2010!!!!

[musicalsilence0813]

@12345carle LOL you have the hippest parents and they have a clever kid

[thomasneilson]

this is my favorite off this album. the acoustic intermission and the part after it is soooo good!

[Daimenn75]

the acoustic is my favorite part lol

[theamnesia211]

sick song ... love the acoustic in it =)

[567bobb]

@MrSomeone544 good one, i like how you think that comeback is two words, it almost makes you sound just stupid rather than mentally retarded. ANNOYING, ISN'T IT?

[ReachFTW666]

@567bobb grow up

[metalrocker2000]

are you guys really arguing about video games one a rise against song?

[AnnihilatorCZ]

What is this song about? 3rd world? Tell me please...

[themightychickens]

@AnnihilatorCZ It's losely about that subject, yeah, but instead of writing half an essay with my interpretation, I'll just direct you to songmeanings xdotx com and look up this song, they usually have dozens of interpretations in the comments there.

[nikorama107]

@themightychickens hey, ill take the half page essay ^^ i dont feel like opening a new page...

[nikorama107]

@themightychickens hey, ill take the half essay ^^ i dont feel like opening a new page...

[themightychickens]

@nikorama107 Lol :)

No really, you should look up the excellent interpretations on songlyrics. dot com, they explain it much better than I would.

[ad1170]

@AnnihilatorCZ wasting natral resources and not appreciation them it essentialy a song of desperation on what we do next after we fucked up we dance for rain

[AnnihilatorCZ]

@ad1170 Dude, you using Google translator or what?

[ad1170]

@AnnihilatorCZ insult im dyslexic so i will miss out a letter or spell something wrong or miss out words in sentences i usally take a second glance but for this i didnt obvously il re write what i said.

It sounds to me that this song about how we waste and over use natural resources to the point that when we start to run out we get desperate in this case we start dancing for rain

[AnnihilatorCZ]

@ad1170 Ok, sorry for that. I didn´t mean to offend you. You can try some of the devices which can spell-check text in your explorer.

[ad1170]

@AnnihilatorCZ pffft i'm not going to rely on a machine next you 'll know they begin to develope minds and over through causing a huge was in which we send someone back in time to defend someone from a robot that also got sent back in time

[themightychickens]

@ad1170 You've watched too many movies...

[ad1170]

@themightychickens true

[DeathafterDecay7]

@ad1170 a bit ironic that you use a computer then ^^

[ad1170]

@DeathafterDecay7 um no atleast over one billion people have computers and im sure many of them are dyslexic it is however ironic that i do enjoy my english langauge in school depending on the teacher

[DeathafterDecay7]

@ad1170 hehe ^^

[MCPunj4b1]

@AnnihilatorCZ

It's about indians doing a dance for rain.

[anarchy4theuk]

@AnnihilatorCZ the song to me sounds like it was written about poverty but the good thing with rise against, they will write a song about a certain topic but leave it wide open for us to translate in our own ways.

[BlueReaper69]

@anarchy4theuk damn right!! that's what i love about their lyrics!!

[ViceTreat01]

@AnnihilatorCZ Yeah third world, rice paddies, etc.

[MrCrazymonkey222]

@AnnihilatorCZ yes

[yairbot]

It wasn't easy to learn, but now I can't stop playing this song <3

[matthewsomethingteen]

4 people dont like to dance in the rain, which is understandable..

[76dancexoxo]

one of my favorites by them!! amazing

[NJNOTMJ]

lol i love this song
