  • I love this song.

    ^^^^^^ Was that so hard guys?

  • Such beautiful lyrics.

  • When i tried killing myself i asked the same question...

  • This song is so strong....

  • oh my god are you all kidding me? just listen to this fucking amazing song! it is so great, the lyrics and he sings it with this deep in this voice. i feel like i was there when it hapened. i have cried the first time i've heard this and it doesn't happen very often that a song brings me to cry..

    la dispute is the best band ive ever heard!

  • people need to chill out and just listen to the fucken music and feel the amazing lyrics rush through ur blood instead of crying about other peoples opinions.

  • It's the ending and the part about the mother burying her son. I almost feel bad for the killer because you can hear remorse in his words but then if the one he meant to kill did die would he even care. It's just a great song by a band that's fucking ace.

  • The last thirty seconds of that song shakes me to my core every time.

  • I got chills all three times I've viewed it. Carry on with your (la) dispute :)

  • This song gave me the chills the first time I heard it. I love it so much. What is that sound at the end of the song though? Is that from the actual singer doing something or is it something from the gun?

  • I think I've just found a new benchmark of gayness.

  • I don't even understand how people get thumb'd up, still, by comments that were old two years ago.

  • We cannot fight in comments.. Not for this song. Not now.

  • I hate how he doesn't sing the ending of the story...

  • One word: CHILLS

  • 4:39 until the end.. <3 such a powerful song.

  • @nickkun21 u are a pathetic excuse for a human being. people like u are a huge part of why this world is such a mess, you cant let things be, u have to continue on these things to make sure that your point is heard, for what? for people like me and like half of the other people that have comented on this video to bag on you and insult you. grow up and listen to what people have to say, you have your opinion and other people have there own.... let it go,

  • @verbeek101 thank you!

  • @verbeek101 You don't sound any better calling someone pathetic. All human beings are here for a reason, and are beautiful, special and sacred. I came here for music, not animosity. Keep the peace.

  • @nickkun21 Well, there's no arguing with that logic. Have fun pursuing your pathetic self gratification. Oh and feel free to get the last word in because your not worth anymore of my time. See, I actually have a life.

  • @SatanSquarepants i completely agree with you, im not religous either but i have no problem with anothers religion and beliefs, but when they start to tell me that my beliefs are wrong and try to force theirs on me, i get irratated and start to rebel

  • Jordan is a lyrical mastermind.

  • "Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?" Thats a question even I would like to know..

  • this grabs me so hard, emotionally. its amazing how well they tell a story like that through one song

  • The one thing I don't understand is why people are bothered by someones views on the existence of God? If it doesn't physically/mentally hurt you, let them be.

  • This song gives me chills..

  • do they not play this live?

  • @nickkun21 Lol, opinions gotta love them.

  • Hey, guys, why don't we just let @ajthe2nd believe whatever the hell he wants? Why do you guys care anyway? It's not like you're ever going to meet him. It doesn't affect you if he's christian, so just leave it alone.

  • First off this song is the bees knees. Secondly ALL RELIGION IS NONSENSE, FUCK OFF AND LISTEN TO GOOD MUSIC.

  • Man people thinking this song is supposed to be religious really missed the point.  The song is SUPPOSED to be about how senseless and tragic gang related violence can be. Any religious overtones are simply being used to help tell the story.

  • @supervegeta1509 You see, I agree that I think people are definitely missing the main point, but I don't think one person can pinpoint an exact main point if that makes sense. I interpret the song as the singer being the child that got "shot" but it all just represents himself losing innocence and the care-free world of childhood. I won't dispute anyone if they say it has to do with religion or senseless violence but people shouldn't be arguing over beliefs if it doesn't even pertain to the song

  • @ShaneRoweFilms I agree with all your points. I don't claim to know exactly what the song is about. My prior comment is merely my interpretation of it. But I 100% agree with your second point. Not sure why there is so much theological debate going on when it really isn't the focus of the song, but one of many elements which come together to tell a story.

  • @ShaneRoweFilms This isn't accurate. Wildlife is a concept album. The protagonist in every song on the album is an anonymous man recounting others' stories with his own thoughts put in the mix. But you're definitely right in saying that all this theological stuff has nothing to do with any pertinent theme in the song.

  • As of today, Jan 31st. I will no longer comment back to any comments that have to do with, heaven, hell, or God. If your here, just listen to song and comment on that, nothing more. Thanks!

  • @ajthe2nd is it because i beat you and your flawed opinion of the existence of a 'God'?

  • @nickkun21 no. i don't feel beaten by you at all. i know the truth. i am simply done because the subject does not pertain to the song. i agree with @supervegeta1509.

  • @nickkun21 shut up.

  • @TraaBss no

  • @nickkun21 Wow you're a complete tool. Why get so hot and bothered over people's views? As long as they don't infringe on the rights of others then why worry about it? People should be uplifted for believing in something that gives their lives meaning. At the end of the day meaning is the only thing we can strive for as humans.

  • @nickkun21 dude i'm not religious either but that's someones beliefs and you should respect that you're not going to change his mind anymore than hes going to change yours

  • you're an asshole

  • @nickkun21 The existence of God (or lack thereof) is not what this song is about. The references are simply a realistic medium used to give many people a stronger connection to the predominant themes expressed throughout it, as is characteristic of this album. Personally, I'm agnostic, and think that it's a monumentally stupid idea to attempt to shove one's ideas down the throat of someone else - regardless of what that idea is.

  • @nickkun21 Generally, those who want to work against perceived flaws will live by example. I don't think anyone who believes in any God is going to say "Hey! That atheist was right! I should stop believing in God and start being a dick to those who do, just like him!" It just doesn't work that way.

  • the fuuck happened to the comments here? Regardless of the existence of a heaven, suicide is a mortal sin if I'm not mistaken

  • The eleven people that disliked this song are whack.

  • nah god doesnt exist..

  • 6:17.

    enough said.

  • This song is so vivid and deep

  • The answer to this man's question in the song is, no you won't get in to heaven. Because it doesn't exist. Your best bet is staying alive and sitting through jail for a few years and hope the judge shows some mercy.

  • @thePANDEMlC you are so wrong. Heaven is very real. And so is Hell.

  • @ajthe2nd you say this based on what? some old, old myth

  • @nickkun21 based on the living word of God, The Bible.

  • @ajthe2nd that was written by man...and we all know that man doesn't make some mistakes..

  • @bsballfan written by man, inspired by God.

  • @ajthe2nd Pick your battles dude, theres no point in arguing with someone who just bashes religion.

  • @ajthe2nd I'm opened to all religions and respect them so I expect religious people to do the same and put themselves in the shoes of atheists and those alike. To atheist there's a book that was written by man, "inspired by god" ... that's not solid evidence since it's so easy to worship anything whether they're there or not. It's just hard to trust people from thousands of year ago. How do we know god hasn't died?

  • @UberAwesomeDewd God, dead? He was, is and always will be.

  • @ajthe2nd Still false. There is no heaven. There is no hell. There is Dante's Inferno, AKA personal hell. God is a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, sexist bully, so even if he was real, his heaven would not be heavenly.

  • @GrungeRockabilly God loves everyone, even you.

  • @ajthe2nd What about fags, as you refer to them. What about lesbians? What about women who get raped and cannot have an abortion, because God said so? And if you read through the Bible, where the fucks the proof that God loves humanity?

  • @ajthe2nd hell is not real. you have obvs been brainwashed

  • @AMPOVERLOAD11 Hell is as real as heaven. I have not been brainwashed, I've been saved by Jesus Christ.

  • @ajthe2nd BAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA you poor poor soul.

  • @thePANDEMlC Apparently being a dick is real.

  • @thePANDEMlC who asked you?

  • @thePANDEMlC shut up you're taking away from the song

  • @thePANDEMlC You really, REALLY did not understand this song. Religion is not an important element at all

  • @thePANDEMlC Someones narrow minded.

  • Gave me goosebumps

  • The ending to this song...I don't normally like this kind of music, but God damn that was powerful!

  • It's more than sadness, it deals with a VERY hard to understand issue.... Forgiveness. Who is it for, and how can the "undeserving" get it.

    The last line... Don't wanna know how it ends.

    So true, most of me screams, he has to pay, he deserves to die. But that's more senseless death, like the death he caused.

    Yet to know that He can be forgiven, bothers some part of me.

    Makes you think, lifes choices aren't always simple.

    LaDispute is amazingly talented.

  • This is everyday life for most kids that live in our American urban cites,pain, heart ache, and a strong relationship with hopelessness. Great song, very visually moving, but if this song moves you to tears, sad to say,but you need to live a little and get out of the bubble, because pain is every where and it's winning.

  • I have chills.

  • This changed my life completly. It grinds through my bones, shaking my body to the very core, touching my soul and leaving me as someone who became someone else, wanting to recall what I experienced, like a little bird, that just made his first flight. An experience I would never give away again.

  • fuck fuck fuck i can't believe how good it is

  • Holy shit. :( kid at school showed this to my friend.. :'( holy cow.. #crying

  • I love the whole song, but those last two minutes are my favorite.......

  • This song BOTHERS every part of me. I don't even want to listen to it unless I know I can sit in silence and finish the entire thing. It ends and I am trembling in tears.

    His voice always sounds like he saw his BEST FRIEND die in front of him.

  • God damn this is fucka bad

  • well..dang!

  • Worst part of the song is at 6:58

  • @kuagasourus well stated.

  • Favorite <3

  • There is so much emotion and passion in all their songs. I love it

  • 6:20 Gave me the goosebumps but this band is perfect<3

  • Proof that Post-Hardcore is still alive and kicking. Epic song, awesome storytelling

  • @evanmcdonald06 thats the main reason i listen to them is for the stories they tell, and with so much emotion, i feel like i'm in the story.

  • La Dispute, Y U SO perfect?

  • Does anyone know what this style of vocals is called? I know its some type of screaming but not sure of the name. I am trying to learn the best way to record this kind of style and knowing its definition would help. cheer.

  • @colourshardcore It's not a named style of screaming. In fact, it isn't technically screaming. I'd call it more of a wail if you asked me, but that's just a matter of opinion.

  • Sorry I for got to write "my cuzin"

  • I heard this song today for the first time i was with my in her car n she showed me this song and I fell in love with it

  • Passion. I love it.

  • @ kellanlikewhoa ikr same here

  • The first time I hear this song I literally cried at the "Can I still get into Heaven if I kill myself?" line. And by literally I mean tears were shed and I was on a bus but it didn't MATTER.

  • This is the kind of gut wrenching shit I love, I feel bad for him because he wants to go to heaven and trying to be pure, but I fucking hate him for killing that kid. gets me every fucking time. this is a fucking flawless peice of music that blew me away on the first time I heard it like no other song ever has.

  • concert will probably be the best in 2012

    im so excited

  • 3:26-6:56 is so perfect.

  • @Lildrummerboy50 no. 0:00-6:56 is perfect

  • Whoa this song is intense..

  • this is amazing.

  • If I listened to this song 1000 times a day, I'd drown in my own tears.

  • Listen to Samuel Jackson's PSA on gun violence. Almost as strong as this song in my opinion.

  • \/Me too\/

  • I get legitimately sad and on the verge of tears near the end of this song.

  • The nine people that disliked this video have never dealt with someone dying

  • I like them. They sing stories, not songs.

  • @rose19892008 That's what I tell people when they ask why this is my favorite band, exact words. Not only do they tell stories but they mean them, you can hear it and see it.

  • great video thanks

  • This is not a song.

    This is a sad, beautiful, story.

  • Agreed with some previous comments, I'd rather read a collection of short stories from this guy than hear him recite

  • this became on of my new favorite bands. Its rare to find a GOOD band with amazing lyrics and a good sound. <3

  • This song overwhelmed me the first time I heard it. The way the guitars fall into dissonance at the end and he's screaming those lyrics over the top. My entire body sort of gets pins and needles. It's insane.

  • Album of the year and track of the year. And I hardly like any hardcore music. 

  • is this song real? because i havnt found any news articles regarding this :L

  • @AngryOvari I'm not sure, the whole album tells stories of hardships, and how it affects the narrator. Some songs like "I See Everything" sounds like it was a personal experience to the narrator, so they could all by true stories that Jordan or the rest of the band experienced. Phenomenal piece of art and concept album either way. Album of the Year no doubt.

  • Fucking goosebumps man.

    Fucking goosebumps.

  • This song turns my stomach in the best way possible.

  • This oozes emotion. And no, it's not emo..Post-hardcore and Indie, sillies!

  • Poor kid believed in heaven an hell....if he knew the truth, he would have just killed his self without thinking twice

  • @regoledenapoli Keep your ignorant clueless thoughts to yourself.

  • @musicismyfavorite777 lmao, twas a joke sir, calm down

  • EMO means emotional, not shitty music. This is totally emo in that it evokes emotion. Fantastic song though!

  • "Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?" His voice is killing me when he says that...

  • "and cruelly i recall why i have come: to find a reason. but there cannot be a reason, not for death, not like this"

    a question to you all: do you think he believes in god?

    i thought so but after these lines I'm not sure...

  • @dDemise Jordan Dreyer is a Christian, I believe. I've heard him in a few interviews and their band has also done some stuff involving some Christian labels. They're by no means a worship band. But you also have to keep in mind that just because someone is a Christian doesn't mean they don't ever feel angry or doubt. A real Christian questions everything and wants to understand. But as humans we can't. La Dispute has always had deep, emotional, philosophical lyrics. Some of the best of our time.

  • @musicismyfavorite777 okay thanks man!

  • at the end it was like a gun shot but there was no bullet.

    it was like a movie omfg.

    i love la dispute so much.

  • They're different from anything I've heard before :o...

  • @ajthe2nd just because it's good doesn't keep it from being emo

  • From 4:38 ... shit is EPIC ... whoa

  • @MyTheLad i'd have to disagree. the whole dang song is epic!

  • @ajthe2nd

    The more you listen to it, the more you like it.

  • Ajthe2nd. I try to watch this video every single day...im lazy and have not bought any of their epic cds. Though I know all the songs they have on you tube...and yes, I said epic. The people below commenting negatively about la dispute...can blow one. This dude is a lyrical genius. His favorite bands are my favorite bands...Thursday, glassjaw, refused. Im in love...glad thatsomething like this has come around. Really.

  • @rmulkeyjr thanks! i appreciate it! i dont let any losers who hate them get to me. i know the difference between real music and stupid music. and this my friend, is real.

  • Holy shnikes!

  • the end of this song is spine tingling !

  • I said " holy Fuck" at the end of this song.

  • can not stop listening to this song. its amazing !!!

  • ARGGG

    THIS SONGS SOOO HARRDDD

  • 5:10 my whole body's covered in goose bumps

  • @epicscream

    Can't tell if really dumb or troll.

    I hope it is the latter though. "EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T LISTEN TO MY MUSIC IS A HUGE FAGZOR AND AN EMO LOLOLZ RETARDS ME 1 YOU 0"

  • "Can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?" who teared up when this was yelled. Honestly, I did. No I'm not emo but that was powerful as hell

  • My new favorite song.

  • @nickotz and hopefully will be till the end of time

  • There's a point in this song where you think its over, and you realize there's over half the song left. Unreal.

  • 7 people have no souls.

  • This song gives me goosebumps. Every time.

  • Wow, how can he remember the lyrics/ the whole story when he is on stage?

  • @ohm1010 The same as every other artist remembers their lyrics? they just do, they made them.

  • This song gives me the chills....

  • the imagery you get from this song is incredible.

  • Their lyrics are like stories :33

  • @h0wwh0reable this is why i find them hard to resist.

  • @h0wwh0reable yeah no shit asshole

  • @h0wwh0reable Well all the songs on this album are actually stories they've heard from other people they had turned into songs. So you're right.

  • This CD is all about the hardships people have gone through. Anyone who jumps to the conclusion that this song is 'emo' clearly has not listened to the rest of the CD. I feel sad for those who have not... This CD gets me to and from College :D And I love it for that.. cuz they actually have things to say, unlike some bands who barely get me to school.. I still have 3 songs left when I get to school with La Dispute <3

  • This song is beautiful in every way. The end when you can hear the power, passion and emotion in his voice, then the killer line "can I still get into heaven if I kill myself?" always gives me chills. Hardcore music at it's best.

  • Fuck. The end gets me everytime. Amazing song

  • literally gave me chills... love these guys

  • No but seriously, can I still go to heaven if I kill myself?

  • @angryovari I really doubt that is the intended meaning behind the song and if your first thought was God is a bitch after listening to this sing I believe you missed the point completely

  • @TheDragonlord103 I am not sure if I have heard them before I will have to listen to them I just love Emery's lyrics about hard shit in life.

  • @TheEpicScream you could write a thesis on this song and the events it describes. The lyrics in this sing are on a completely other level from most every song I have ever heard examining an aspect of life in the most poetic manner a lot like Emery does. Fantastic sing.

  • @nashtrojan Refused did the same thing and there from the 90's

  • Refused is one of theor influences. As is glassjaw...Thursday. you can hear it in everything they do...but that's the way it is. People are influenced everyday...but most don't take it to the level these guys do. This is art.@TheDragonlord103

  • wow.
