August Burns Red - Mosley

[LaDamian99]

1:06 Black kid?

[SaiTekifiCatioN]

crap sound quality :/

[Erik007able]

damn this song is badass their newest album leveler is absolutly brilliant but i do miss the off beat breakdowns they usually do like the one at 1:01 classic ABR

[Mercenariodj]

was mosley a real person close to them?

[wobyerista]

@Mercenariodj i believe it was. from what ive read on the internet, he was a very close friend to the band, and he died at the age of 18 in a car crash.

[WakeNBake024]

Powerful meanings? Ha. Listen to Rush. This shit is nonsense XD You can't even understand what he's saying!

[OfForceAndChaos]

@WakeNBake024 It takes a certain ear to understand this type of vocal style. I for one can understand every word, because Jake (the singer) enunciates every word very well; whereas other bands that make use of a screamer sound really messy or just noisy.

But I agree with mrmrdarko. If you'd take the time to read ABR's lyrics, they're all very, VERY deep and meaningful.

I'm a fan of Rush as well, but ABR takes the cake for poetic lyrics by far.

[Effeneh121]

They are pretty generous with picks. I have one as well :p

[kennyisonfire]

i got a pick from them

[iLikeMatzohBalls]

@kennyisonfire luckky, keep that thing for the rest of your life!

[megacburch]

its fucking beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ethanross100]

I love how a guy with 666 in his name posts a Christian band. That gives me hope. :)

[NarcolepticTransfer]

the power stance at 17 seconds makes me want to divide by zero... HARD.

[mike92328]

R.I.P. Mosley, I'm not sure who you are, but I know 2 things about you: You died way too young, and you were the inspiration for one of my favorite songs of all time.

[COOLBEANS8029]

This is like the messengers version of Indonesia!!

[damilksta]

That's such a sad song...

[AugustBurnt]

To my grandfather, thank you for being proud of me, and inspiring me to become what I am today. Wish you were here.

[SpencaDrum]

Haha, matt greiner is probably one of the coolest guys i know. ABR is a really really nice band in general. jake is really really cool, jb is hilarious etc etc

[NickWaugh78]

@TheMediocreAtheist92 ive seen them 3 times and they never do any sort of preaching at their shows. im agnostic and I DONT GIVE A FUCK about what they sing about or what they believe in, they are fuckin amazing at what they do so STFU and stop trying to rag on this epic band!

[sheinkopt]

is this music?

[monkeytriangle666]

@sheinkopt No,its a book.

[rawiswar1995]

@monkeytriangle666 PWND X5. haha

[W1NT3RMU7E]

@monkeytriangle666 ...I've heard of those...

[negerN1337]

@sheinkopt Are they screaming to much ? ;'(

[Sane051]

@sheinkopt no, it's only annoying noise. as much as music as a tin can dropped into a garbage disposal.

[mrcracker321]

@Sane051 Go listen to some justin bieber you pinoy

[Sane051]

@mrcracker321 yeah, I'm more into johnny cash, led zeppelin, pink floyd... you know, real music from people with talent.

[monkeytriangle666]

@Sane051 Thats fair enough, I listen to all them too. But why would you even come near a band like this, you were hardly expecting folsom prison blues, were you?

[Sane051]

@monkeytriangle666 a friend of mine was talking about this band and I decided to check it out. but it's fucking annoying that ppl here are commenting like it would be STUPID not to like this song. well, turns out i think this song is BS and some ppl just have to deal with it. :P

[llBll]

THAT FUCKING TAPPING IS BEAST!

[GloomySunset]

Ha! jake looks funny at 1:17

[TiffySniffisSpifnazy]

This reminds me of my friend Jake.

Oddly,he was in a car reck and died at 18. His last name is also Mosley.

I also heard this was about a guy named Jake? i dont know,but that's pretty much a freak coincidence. But I love this song. C:

[LemonMerigueTie]

@TiffySniffisSpifnazy no way.. maybe it was the same guy O.O

[fallensaint09]

they said they didnt want to release this because of who the song was about? but on the Constellations album they have the song Indonesia which is about a friend of theirs that died in a plane crash. anyway, great song, i wish they wouldve realeased it

[monkeytriangle666]

Word.

Thats what i read anyway.

[Gibsno2]

2:28 sent a massive chill down my spine. Great song

[NonPointRulz101]

this sounds just like An American Dream isnt that weird its mostly from 1:02 to 2:15. Maybe they made An American Dream in place of Mosely, huh?

[xTyleRxShreDx]

they have parts embedded in AAD. Look on thier Albums on myspace

[jken7737]

why would they not release this?

[monkeytriangle666]

I think i read it somewhere that in the end they didnt wanna release it in respect to the guy the song is about.

[viola0shredder]

i think iff not this, chasing the dragon should have made it.  why wouldn't it?

[MrJeanperry]

best abr song ever !

[xXannelieseXx]

Oh wow... i feel strongly related to this song... my best friend was 18 and died in a car accident about 3 months ago...

[viola0shredder]

oh, that sux

[FuckReligionFuckYou]

August burns red fans from Holland, add ^^

[TheMediocreAtheist92]

Fuck religion? Yet you listen to august burns red...

[mozza778]

you don't need to be religious to like music dude

[TheMediocreAtheist92]

As music tastes are subjective you're right, but honestly man, the point of their music is to praise God, and this guy has fuck religion in his name?

[mozza778]

infact, only like 3 or 4 their songs acutally "praise god". most of them are about society, or other stuff. they said in an interview that they don't wanna shove their relgion down other peoples throats.

[TheMediocreAtheist92]

Have you ever seen them live?

Man they talk about jesus half the show

[monkeytriangle666]

Did you see them at cornerstone or something?

Never even mentioned anything relgious when i saw them.

[Rodskiftw]

@monkeytriangle666

I've seen them every time they've come to toronto, they don't. The closest thing they do is pray before their set. They huddle up as a group, they're pretty know for doing that. They aren't preaching, or trying to convert. Their music make be religiously influenced but they don't go around saying things like: Hey you don't believe in God and/or Jesus, and you should and go on and on. They're more about living your life and being yourself and not being a fake and living a lie

[mozza778]

yes i have. and so? that's because they are christians. only thing they said when i saw them was stuff like "i want to thank god for everyone of you tonight" and stuff like that. so what if they do?

[SicSociophobiac]

@TheMediocreAtheist92

[nagimohoraman]

lol most there song are religious based but u got to see the message in the song XD

[TheAngryPirateSays]

@TheMediocreAtheist92 Were does it say that in their name?

[monkeytriangle666]

@TheMediocreAtheist92 Is this a dig at my username? You have "Atheist" in yours. I have three numbers in mine, I dont worship satan or believe he even exists. ABR are my favourite band, go away now.

[JellayToasT]

@monkeytriangle666 believing in satan and worshiping satan are two completely different things, yes, satan is much very real, but do i worship him, fuck no!

[buttlick666]

Some of this song reminds me a lot of parkway Drive.

[mrmrdarko]

this song just had become my favorite.

with every song of august theres such powerful meanings

[jimmyrocks666]

this song is soo effing inspiring and touching

i don't know why they didn't leave it in messengers

[DeckerRidesABike]

its about jakes closest friend who died in a car accident at 18 years old.

[Flughafenretter]

That´s right! The song is in memory of a friend killed in a car accident!

[xunderground]

two handed tapping in the end is epic

[SanAntonio501]

oh yeah! that's the best part of the song for me

[Prototype1207]

I think this song was written in memory of a friend lost in a car accident or something. I can't find the article my bro found about the meaning behind this song. Anyone know where I can find it?

Great song!

[Podgy666]

it's kind of obvious it's about a friend, just read the lyirics

[Prototype1207]

well, I know that. I just want to read the article my bro found about it.

[cavenasty]

i love their lyrics

[4btroll]

9,001 views

ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cavenasty]

WHAT 9000?!

[4btroll]

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!

[whitneynicole2wloha]

ok read the lyrics to "the eleventh hour" or "redemption" there is no other person that they can talkin about than God.THEY ARE CHRISTIAN. they pray on stage everytime they play somewhere.

[GrizzlyBlue5791]

lol Having lyrics that revolve around hope and similar topics doesn't always mean you're christian. A satanic band can write the same lyrics about finding the true path and seem all holy and whatever when they're probably just talking about finding Satan lol

[BDean97]

come on man your just being ignorant...

[Prototype1207]

They've said in interviews that they don't want the fact that they're Christians to be the main focus of the band. Sure they have inspiring lyrics and all, but they said they don't want to be the kind of band that gets up on stage and preaches to the crowd. They just want to get up there and have a great time.

[hawksteal]

dumass their signed by solid state and you HAVE to be christian to be in solid state

[BigEvan96]

no, the agony scene arent cristian and they were signed to solid state before they left.

[hawksteal]

lol shut up haha. ruining my role here

[weso516]

yes they admit to being christian and their lyrics could be interpreted in a christian mindset but that doesnt make them a christian band...i think they only reference the "lord" in like two songs...get over it

i prefer to simply view their lyrics as truths about society and uplifiting hopeful lyrics...why does anything that is wholesome and about hope have to be labeled as christian? just love the music and be compelled by the lyrics

this song is purely epic by the way

[Enochcainx256]

They are a christian band, you cannot be on Solid State Records without being Christian. Same with Tooth and Nail.

I for one am atheist, and I couldn't give a shit less who they praise.

[skeletor19wrestler]

my new favourite song by abr atm, but i guess thats not really saying anything since it changes quite a bit. :P CANT WAIT FOR JULY 14TH

[HardcoreMetalHead420]

You people are fucking stupid they dont put their faith in their lyrics besides 2 fucking songs. other then that their all about metal so ofcourse their pist off. just because their christians dosnt mean their a christian band. JB said so him self. and so did brent i've literally asked them personally through their twiter

[intheendburnitall]

prejudice much? all of there songs hold at least one meaning about christianity

[JcWhatCounts20]

Seriously, read most of the lyrics from Messengers. Not Christian lyrics, or a Christian band? cmon man.

[FOOKxFOOK]

go to their site kid.

[BDean97]

i love abr but, they sound pretty angry to love God so much...

[intheendburnitall]

but y just sing quietly to god wen u can scream his name?

[BDean97]

haha i guess.... angry christians haha

[shittyshittybangy]

OMG  the guitar from 2:53!

[iMusikAddict]

Quote to 666threnil:

SAYS THE GUY WITH 666 IN HIS NAME !?

I'm sure you're addicted to some kind of Shitty Death music..

August Burns Red FTW !

[markymarkbb]

I wonder if they're gonna have Dustin scream a lot more

[InebriatedAssClown]

says the kid with the slipknot references in his name.

[666threenil]

i made this account a few years ago. i bet everyone of you was listening to slipknot some years ago. however should you know that´s a slipknot reference ;) i dont say that august burns red ist a bad band. i just think they sound like a lot of othjer metalcorebands.

[InebriatedAssClown]

well this particular song is kind of boring and sounds like alot of other stuff, but the songs that made the album are incredible

[amlaped09]

i never listened to slipknot i always knew they were shit, i'm so special, but i did used to listen to ABR so i guess that's just as bad : /

[guitarplayerchris]

its because everybody is trying to sound like august burns red, but they're pretty much the first to sound like this

[helmkayman]

Wow go listen to your gay slipknot kid. U need Jesus

[lucadepu]

jesus sux but abr's great

[intheendburnitall]

if u say abr is great then ur pretty much saying jesus is great. ive been to one of there concerts and they bring god werever they go

[lucadepu]

let's not confuse music with religion. i love abr's way of making music and pretty much all of their songs. they write great lyrics wich i just happen not to agree with since i am an atheist. i'm saying that abr's a great band, but i don't share their message.

[monkeytriangle666]

Well said.

[RazzleMcDazzle989]

atheism sux lolzolzozlzolzozlolzolololo

[lucadepu]

finally there's someone disagreeing. you're free tot hink so, i support your free thinking.

[thrasher3631]

I think ABR has it's own unique sound.

[HardcoreMetalHead420]

1:01 through 1:14; one of the best breakdowns through their history

[taproot126]

40 seconds. THAT WAS SO FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!!!

[rawkenday]

haha 1:37 makes me laugh what a beast

[iLyykMuzik]

Is that a solo I hear from JB?

[monkeytriangle666]

The new album is gonna be filled with solos from JB himself ;)

[HardcoreMetalHead420]

this song shouldive made it to messengers seriously its so good

[MsTruth101]

Personal issues. Respect for their friend and what not. They didn't think it was right.

[rawkenday]

why is that? who is to say thst constellations wont b better i love this band

[xeous00]

Dude 1:01 is the sickest breakdown i have ever heard

[HardcoreMetalHead420]

1:08 dudes wearing a whitechapel shirt. FUCK YEAH WHITECHAPEL AND AUGUST BURNS RED SHOULD GO ON TOUR TOGETHER

[guitarplayer824]

this song is so amazing, God bless these guys

[that1aznkid92]

bad ass intense guitar solo

[RockerTschens]

Haven't known this song before. Awesome!

Jake will see him again.

[HardcoreMetalHead420]

Dude dustin is sick as fuck and so is matt. jake brent and jb are awsome to but damn dustin and matt just take control when their live and even on their videos

[DeadCypher9]

I love how the final lines of the song say, "I'll see you again, my dearest friend."

[DeckerRidesABike]

jake wrote the song,

its about his friend who died in a car accident.

its so sad

[pstlpwn]

this is so sad. i feel so bad for jake.

[tmb00x]

this is great song!!!... but its kinda depressing if u look at the lyrics

[Ipukeonyourface777]

the end is actually pretty hopeful and optimistic....

[wellerisemo]

awesome song and awesome pics

[IGeneticI]

cannot fuckin wait to here what they are writing for their new album after hearing this

[CourtPlayzDrumz]

so fucking good holy shit.

[monkeytriangle666]
