Kiks azz

[kyuochan]

I love the way they compose such heavy and meaningful lyrics with thier voices that range from such demons to angels~

[GV511]

dont call me stupid or anything but what does canvas mean

[Joe227Anime]

@GV511 A Canvas is heavy-duty woven fabric used for sails, backpacks, etc. but commonly used by artists to paint with the canvas as the painting surface.

[mrdarkmasterf]

@GV511 nobody will call you stupid or like that because nobody's perfect :)

[iwatchusleep22]

@GV511 A canvas is something you paint on.

[Rex4742]

The begging reminds me of Knives and Pens......

[punchyouinthejeans87]

@Rex4742 *Beginning 

[SmallChocolateShake]

@Rex4742 Well, you can easily differentiate Black Veil Brides from Alesana. Why? Because BVB sucks elephant cock, while Alesana doesn't.

[TheLoLCommentator]

@Rex4742

Get that black veil bride shit out of here....

[ParanoidOfThis]

@Rex4742 Knives and Pens should reminds you of this.

[HalfJewel]

[mountaindewroxmysox1]

She can paint a lovely picture. But this story has a twist. Her paintbrush is a razor. And her canvas is her wrist </3 @xoxoblueeyedgirlxoxo

[mafe7771]

@mountaindewroxmysox1 Why the canvaas is her wrist?

[animefreak683]

Amazing song~

[SolxXxWolf]

The very ending music starts lunatics lament. Never noticed that before

[frijasrocks1]

awesome song :) lovee it

[chris57899]

the intro gives me the chills...

[AweStruCT]

BVB is bad.

[TheParawhore45]

@AweStruCT

Fuck you!

keep your negative opinions to yourself! Besides, BVB isn't even a relavent topic here! jeez... some people... have problems...

[TheParawhore45]

@TheParawhore45

*relevant



[AweStruCT]

@TheParawhore45

hey it is an opinion, dont get butt hurt. i honestly dont care about image, i look with my ears when it comes to music. and IMO BVB is no good. so looks like your the one with problems riding BVB dick.

[TheParawhore45]

@AweStruCT

no need to put up your opinion on an Alesana video tho. And just because they have a cool image along with their talent doesnt mean that theyre posers or anything. Maybe you should listen a little closer. I mean, you don't need to like them, but don't post hate comments. Its stupid and childish.

[AweStruCT]

@TheParawhore45

childish? says the person whos username has the word whore in it.

[TheParawhore45]

@AweStruCT

you attack my username? wow. its a nickname for paramore fans. get a grip.

[AweStruCT]

@TheParawhore45

yet again.. immaturity.

[MegGoesRawwwrr]

I have lived this album. This album LITERALLY saved my life.

[brasilrules101]

@MegGoesRawwwrr ditto, alesana, saving lives and bringing happiness since where myth fades to legend.

[cierra3551]

17 people have sweaty hands and failed to lock the door :o

[TheWolfmaid]

@MrProTrainer There's nothing wrong with my opinion -.- Honestly, grow up.

[Beluga7whale]

You say Justin Bieber, I say Alesana

You say Miley Cyrus, I say Alesana

You say Kesha, I say Alesana

You say Eminem, I say Alesana

You say Kanye West,I say alesana

You say Jonas Brother, I say Alesana

:D

[DarkTragedyLife]

@Beluga7whale Well i say penis head gorilla nipple giraffe dick

[failedpker100]

@Beluga7whale I didn't say Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Kesha, Eminem, Jonas Brother and I most definitely didnt say kanye West =/

[Fallutomaster69]

@Beluga7whale you say alesana, i say exactly

[XBrokenkingX]

@Beluga7whale Branch our you music bro ;) trolololol

[asiapat21]

I love it I can't stop singing it

[Frodicus42]

this song is so amazing it reminds me of the oval portrait by Poe; what would have happened to the artist after his wife died. so so beautiful

[aroundparis]

I'm not really into all of the screamo music, but alesana is deff one of my favorite bands them and sleeping with sirens i'd see live[:

[xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo]

I am an artist. My wrist is my canvas and my blade is my paint brush, i never have trouble painting my tragic pictures. The only color i use is red. The only feeling i put into my paintings is sadness and anger.

[mokonaismokona]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo get help?

[ForeignGoran32]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo Artist? We call those douchey emo kids where I come from.

[xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo]

@ForeignGoran32 Artist is because of the song smart one. And yeah your one of the people that helps kill people by being a fucking duchebag and treating them like shit making them go cut themselves more! I hope your happy that people kill themselves because of everyone like you!

[ForeignGoran32]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo You sound like a fool. If you're going to make some retarded comment about cutting yourself, then of course people are bound to mock it. And by the way, one of my best friends was depressed and suicidal and i helped him through and didn't 'help him kill himself'. I just think that if you cut yourself and are planning suicide you're stupid as hell because your life is always worth living and could be so much worse

[wanwan011]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo Hey your playlist , its Alasana >:( i hate it , it should be "

Alesana"

[antdaweeze13]

@wanwan011 lool! wow she fails...

[SoothsayerXAngel]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo i dont like this comment =/ cutting is bad, i hope you dont actually do this, your a human being and in my eyes every life is worth living, im sure theres many people who care about you and love you, your a person and you deserve to be treated right and you deserve a chance at happiness so i hope whatever is causing you to do this goes away and that you can see the value in yourself and your life, God loves you, and many other people do, i hope you find happiness!

[xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo]

@SoothsayerXAngel Thankyou so much!

[punchyouinthejeans87]

@SoothsayerXAngel Lol, you said "God"

[april131997]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo artistic the words are poetic  same your not the only one

[TheParawhore45]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo

sadness. =/

[kickass785]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo TRUE THAT

[raisedbyacupofcoffee]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo What the fuck, dude?

[beastie244]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo Depression much?

[ElWoodenSpoon]

@xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo

Cool story. Go sit in the corner while the rest of us actually deal with our shit rather than whoring for sympathy on youtube.

[TheCrazyIKE]

New Album in October look for it towards the middle of the month also going on Tour same month..

[mafe7771]

[MusicalCondom]

[raven0halfbreed]

[MulticolourTears]

@raven0halfbreed if you were in the woods...there would be no signal....and no signal means no internet....so.....wtf..

[GoofyFanXD]

I don't know whats going on between Alesana and whats her face that they keep killing, but they need to go to some counsiling :)

[simplecoupIe]

This song means a lot to me

[genessis121]

alsena is acool band

[DarkTragedyLife]

My favorite song from Alesana! :D

[vanhalenfreak2000]

someone tell me what the cd is based off of? i would really love to kno!!!

[rillera25]

@vanhalenfreak2000 The album is based off of a story that Alesana wrote inspired by Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe. Look up The Emptiness on Wikipedia, the story is on there >w<

[zahrimz]

@vanhalenfreak2000 Edgar Allan Poe's Poem (Annabel Lee - The Emptyness) go Wiki "Alesana the Emptyness)

[NeKoandCp]

question is this from like a book?

i know how the songs tell a story but in what order?

[HikagePain4Ever]

@NeKoandCp Is from a poem by Edgar Allan Poe named "Annabel Lee" the story goes by finding "Annabel" is dead and then finding who did it. Go to wikipedia on Alesana The emptiness album, and there it is :)

[punkrocker666ify]

i love this song, it means alot to me

[Cudi8118]

@xxxfunnyguyxx08

:P well you see, the songs you clicked are most likely from The Emptiness album. All the songs tell a story, its not from an actual published book, its from a story written in a booklete in the case. Written by both the singers Dennis Lee and Shawn Milke. :) Buy it, totally worth it.

[xxxfunnyguyxx08]

@Cudi8118 alright i will buy it!

[KawaiiRawrz]

@Cudi8118 what is it called???



[H3RoiN777]

Who Dislikes this  PFFfft ...Fags

[mckennacullen]

[xxNTKxxabeaner]

[moelikescheese11]

You can't listen to this just one time. You gotta rape the replay button.

[sancius09]

The Artist (based on Chapter Two: Sweaty Hands Will Fail To Lock The Door) "The Artist, overwhelmed with panic and paranoia, is convinced that he is being watched and that someone somewhere knows what he's done. Just the sight of Annabel's body begins to blur the lines of fantasy and reality. He controls the urge to run and leans down to kiss her one final time, closing her eyes with the gentle touch of his blood-soaked fingertips

[xxxfunnyguyxx08]

@sancius09 wait, why everytime i go to a alesana song (only 4 so far, i just got into them but GREAT band) and based on a book and a chapter of it. what book please?

[VanityWh0re]

@xxxfunnyguyxx08 Its not a book Hun, its a poem by Edgar Allan Poe...i belive its called...Annabell Lee?

[xxxfunnyguyxx08]

@VanityWh0re I know now xD i read the poem and read the booklet that came with the album, beautiful <3

[jacobofunlivion]

@VanityWh0re Vanity whore ?

[alohaahloa25]

ALESANA ROCKS ! \m/ Yeah !!!!

[krystinab123]

[xoxoBlueEyedGirlxoxo]

[CTAGuitarPlayer]

@Thee915broo Fuck you this is real music. Alesana ftw!!

[PurpleandBlackPandas]

Im taking a line from this song and putting it in a story I'm writing. It fits.

"Skin so cold beneath my touch as I brush back her hari and close her eyes."

[VoidxAndxNull]

@thee915broo Your bad taste makes me speechless.

[thee915broo]

Lil Wayne & Drake r better ;p

[rillera25]

@thee915broo I respect your opinion. But let me respectfully say FUCK OFF.

[AVAblinksum44]

@thee915broo you and the rest of you followers are the reason why the music that gets reckognition is shit these days, thanks a lot asshole, no one likes lil wayne, look up a video of him playing the guitar

[poizunlady67]

@thee915broo do u still like alesana? i mean its okay for you to like lil wayne and drake but do u like Alesana as well?

[JhonnyG95]

@poizunlady67 yeah ofc.



[PurpleandBlackPandas]

@mariah12695 Uhh, no. Look up the story for The Emptiness. But Im guessing you've already done that. Lol

[Pikicah]

*_________* Alesana. They have been in my life for 6 years. I was 9. A child. Didn't know the world. But them, I loved more than anything. I had no idea what music can exactly to do me. It washed away my worries, and I had none. I could swear on everything that I love that I'll always love them, but then again I can't since they're only thing that means something to me. If they ever fall apart before my kids get to listen to them, I'm commiting suicide. ♥

[Screamo707]

@mariah12695 wrong, he just wakes up I'm curse of the virgin canvas to find Annabel dead next to him. After that comes this song where he thinks that he killed her so he's really sad and freaking out at the same time. He tries to hide the body in a cellar or something which them lead to a lunatic's lament.

[peace345ToTheWorld]

@mariah12695 Wait, seriously? is that true?

[VoidxAndxNull]

Simply perfection.

[chickenhuntinattheca]

@VoidxAndxNull 100% true

[1unnessecaryliedown4]

[crzboy13]

this is not a story that comes from the band, it was inspired from someone known just as "the artist" , saying how the love of his life was murdered... thats the basic point of the entire album but what this song is talking about is in the post i posted earlier xD

[crzboy13]

. He controls the urge to run and leans down to kiss her one final time, closing her eyes with the gentle touch of his blood-soaked fingertips. His tortured goodbye plagues his mind and allows the madness to come pouring back with a vengeance. The Artist accepts his fate, hides the body and sets out into the night."

[crzboy13]

The Artist

(based on Chapter Two: Sweaty Hands Will Fail To Lock The Door)

"The Artist, overwhelmed with panic and paranoia, is convinced that he is being watched and that someone somewhere knows what he's done. Just the sight of Annabel's body begins to blur the lines of fantasy and reality

[vanhalenfreak2000]

@crzboy13 what story is the cd based on?

[Ornido101]

its like listening to porn

[HardCoreChick100]

This entire album is amazing. I've loved it since I discovered it and it's still probably my favorite album from any artist... The way they tell the story through songs is beautiful and I love that it was inspired by Poe. <3

[draygen78]

The emptiness shall haunt the 16 haters.

[poizunlady67]

OH I KNOW I'VE SEEN HIS FACE BEFORE

OH I'M SURE I'VE SEEN HIS FACE BEFORE

BEST SCREAMING LINE EVER!

[MsAlesanaLover13]

15 hands failed to lock the door! >:D

[t0an11]

@MsAlesanaLover13 actually,16 hands failed to click the like button

[HardCoreChick100]

@t0an11 I'm sure that everyone is aware that people have disliked this video. People do that when you give something a dislike button. Enjoy the music, instead of enticing the same people who disliked it to make a rude comment.

[naughtyhottie95]

i saw them live and it was ab solutely amazing...and the way he swivels his hips.mmmm
