Converge - The saddest day

[kummitusefekti]

please, don't take lyrics whatsoever so seriously. This is music, and kind of hard music that is. If you have survived the 7 minutes I guess you got the clue whats this about...

[lPheenixl]

@kummitusefekti You are missing out on a fundamental part of what the band is about of you ignore their lyrics. This kind of chaos would fall flat and squish if the lyrics couldn't back up to the barrage.

[ANTHMX]

MEXICO LOVES CONVERGE !!!!!

[AbrahamIsKing]

sweet. i like converge.

[killermod0]

Motivational speech brought to you in part by Jacob Bannon.

[itsmytoast]

my only regret about liking this band, or rather my only complaint, is that i will more than likely never get to see them play this song live... however... twitter (@convergecult) says they're writing this week. thank the gods there will be another tour coming.

[INCH78]

war dabei..großartige show..was anderes gibts dazu nicht zu sagen! *punkt*



[nyeehmads]

@INCH78

haha germans.. often they comment in german, and noone understands em xD

[wasschoenes70]

@nyeehmads

HAHAHA!! i understand him!! we are all over the world!!HAHAHA

[xXJesterHeadXx]

I will not forgive them for not playing this song at that location this year too soon!! .....but well it's converge... FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

[Thismeaningtoitall]

I love his introduction to the song's meaning. Does he sound like jello biafra talking in the beginning, or is it just me??? Anyway great fucking song, one of converges best!!!

[danielkills]

@Thismeaningtoitall It's just you.

[Lodestar1977]

Hardcore is very paralell to alot of ideas and and beleifs about self empowerment and concious evelovement. With so many songs about unity bortherhood and embracing the struggle as a chance to rise up ever stronger and wiser. Music about the best of humakind. For the most part anyway. Though I have to say after all these years, it suproses me negative things like being born and dying alone are still being said. In a genre that is about moving on and growing. Time to break that beleif now. Peace.

[RJN88420]

@Lodestar1977 i dont see how those same beliefs cant still be applied to converge themes they never sing about actually giving up.. just the pain itself

[Lodestar1977]

Actually we are not born alone and we don't die alone. We are never alone. I have been a huge fan of hardcore for a good number of years now. And strangely as I have grown personally I actually start to enjoy some hardcore more than ever. Simply because hardcore for the most part draws on the very core of ersonal growth. Accepting the hand your dealt, and rising above adversity to be a better person. So many bands have a great deal of self empowering lyrics and music.

[shinkle4]

I hate the beginning but I love the DUN. DUN.  DUN. DUNA DUN DUN DUN DUNA DUN DUNDUDNASDJNASUFNASFJASUF and how it progressivly gets faster that is awesome and everything past that part is FUCKING AWESOME

[iceclimberxxx]

this song is about growing older. you see your friends and your family and your loved ones in a different light. sometimes you see them for the better, sometimes you see them for the worse. but most of all you see them growing away from you. this song is about getting older and losing all of that. you were born in this world alone and you will die alone. remember that.

[caleflag]

this band totally fucks up 5 piece bands that try and fuse hardcore and metal.

[stelderhaiderman]

I´ll see them in June at THIS LOCATION!

[Sebastian781]

sure want to see them live

[frostybob123]

WOW that is a really awesome looking venue !!

[TheWentzMachine]

Because its full of converge.

[IkaCullen]

CONVERGE IS REAL MUSIC, AGREE.

[GiantBear91]

You want to know what terrible music is? Shit that has no meaning behind it, shit that has no emotion behind it. SHIT THAT IS NOT REAL! Fuck your MTV and VH1 and FUSE! Converge IS real music!

[GiantBear91]

In other words: Bands that only play music for money, play it for chicks or play it for fame. Real music is the kind of music that you listen to and KNOW that the people playing it are angry about life, our world, our governments, our people. That, my friends, is real music.

[jerradcwilliams]

In other words, most Deathcore bands.

[0nisful]

@GiantBear91 damn right dude, well said

[NijinoHaru]

WTF

[xXJesterHeadXx]

@MatthewGunn do something that's better for us all: shut up :)

[Cryptomnesiia]

I concur

[PsychotropicAeonian]

EXACTLY

raw

delicious

converge is real, period

stop bitching

[Mordecai132]

again with explaining the song meaning........what a proud little bitch, your killing the music! your lyrics make little sense anyway

[mariAZNMSK]

@Mordecai132 converge lyrics making little sense? srsly.

[skoyin]

the best in the bizz right here

[popofish69]

i love how he is talking all serious and then he just goes to his thing of random thirds on the TB coughing. Hard shit, but nonetheless shit.. music is good but singer ruins it..

[Fishcrunch]

i'd rather suck a cow dick than listen to this dumb fuck tell us a message about people growing old.....by fucking coughing and grunting...

[bobjones864]

Why are you here if you don't like this band? I don't go down to where you work and slap the dick out of your mouth do I?

[raggedyevl2]

not the best live but alot of power behind it

[stelderhaiderman]

@raggedyevl2 i think they are awesome live.

the sound of the camera kinda ruins it.

[rh117]

shit talking is for pussies. converge rules

[Leetist]

@blahblahblahblahlahb

Then don't listen dipshit.

[Invadertoden]

yea eat a dick fucksticks i love it

[julzbb123]

Wtf is this BS... baah baah baahh!!!!! raaah raaah rahhhhhhh!!!!!!! O.o

No wonder pple pop pills there like theres no tomorrow, i think after uve popped a dozen this shit starts making sense lol

[sderoij]

@julzbb123

love the inspector gadget riff at 3:10 though (:

[blahblahblahblahlahb]

Dude check out Soilwork- Chainheart Machine, and tell me what you think. I'm pretty damn sure you'll love it :D This goes for the rest of you who read this comment, you won't be disappointed.

[Phukgod]

lol.. what the fuck is this

[rh117]

amazing

[tupallica]

Wow! Zero talent!! Bah bah bah just plain garbage! Just stupidly brutal with no melody or LYRICS!! Lol WTF is this shit.. This is not music..just energy..I am sure converge confuses the 2 together!!

[SuckMyDave]

You've just said it mate! Energy! you cant show true energy and violence through neat sounds..

[thegodfather2402]

Converge is considered metalcore actually. Either way, very talented. Just depends on what you're into.

[ghettobird502]

best band ever.

haters eat a dick

[Pku86]

Baah Baah

[Pku86]

im guessing you understand BAAAAH BAAAH BAAAAH... its probably why you like it

[xXIXxWolf]

Converge is great. If you don't like it, don't shit talk.

[azaleaXruins]

fuck all of those people who talk shit on this band, if you don't like them don't fucking watch their videos and complain go watch some gay ass band like bring me the horizon or something. this band is the band that put hardcore where it is now. underground nineties bitches, thats when hardcore was about the anger and emotion not about the hair and appearance. people talk shit on shit they don't understand obviously.

[asgRYAN]

amen brother

[joepatten71]

so true.

[angelxsid]

What a racket!

[michaelgavinet]

i tried to give this band a chance but no luck so i wont say converge sucks.....ill just say MATHCORE sucks donkey balls

[Archadeus000]

Music in any form has specific components that make it music, Melody, Rythym, Repetition, Harmony.. in one form or another.. Ive listened to hardcore for months now... very little if any of it exists in this art form im appalled to call this music at all..

[Warhead182]

So much bullshit in a single post.

[freezinggeorge]

aren't converge pretty old school themselves? i know they aren't Original hardcore but they've been going on for a long time now, a good 20 years or so.

[SomeMacedonianDude]

zombie attack much>

[liszj15]

o_o omg,... nah this is not what i like ='D

[Snakerunners]

Converge is the worst metal band to come into my life and I wish it hadn't. Or as my friend put it "Converge can burn in Hell for what they have done with music."

[Warhead182]

1st: It aint a metal band, it's mathcore

2nd: No one asked your opnion or your friend's opnion.

3rd: You can go and play anal doctor with your friend for all we care.

[buddhaisdabomb]

This isn't mathcore broski. This is just hardcore. The Number Twelve Looks Like You? Yeah, they're mathcore. But in interviews i've heard jake and nate and everone say that they're just hardcore. Otherwise i agree with the rest of your comment.

[Snakerunners]

I really don't care what you say I think its funny that your defending the shittiest band I have ever seen.

[Warhead182]

Sorry I apologize, after checking your profile I noticied you play WoW and Xbox....

Go play with your virtuals friends loser...

[Snakerunners]

Say what you need to what I said stands converge sucks.

[Warhead182]

I would agree if I could read it...

[ihatethtshirt]

haha wow. you're a fuckin fag.

[dakotapats]

Gotta believe man

[Trich1212]

converge blows

[dakotapats]

PWD i will rip you mothers fucking heart out and fuck her belly button and curb stop your face you worthless peice of shit, dont you dare come and fucking insult our lives. Stay fucking Hardcore!

[MissileDropkick]

FUCK HARDCORE. Hardcore is dead.

[GimmeThatChicken]

Since when was hardcore dead? I'm constantly surprised with the amount of bands I'm finding...

Or are you one of those people that thinks hardcore starts and ends with Madball or Hatebreed?

[zam777]

man, that opening speech is sooo true.

[sgspecial05]

i fall asleep to this song

[rawrEvan]

Yeah it's just like white noise...

[iTziNiQuiTyx]

Im listening to this in headphones. Fucking BRILLIANT.

[culas25hc]

This is their best song!!!!! I've never seen them live, but if they come to Hungary I will go to see them!!!!

[WalkingWithACadaver]

This is what God would sound like if he was real.

[xotaKux]

:D

period.

[DaniGetAllTheGirls]

The best comment ever about that song =D

[JordanBlackJackson]

Converge more like Diverge

Also this entire album rips everything to shit

[XVonGrimmX]

[selwoc21]

Best song ever. All u guys that are sayin shit bout Converge are dumbasses cus obviously you dont know music.

[PWD65]

If you think this trash band is good, Then its you that doesn't know music.

[deathmetalftw]

Fuck you, faggot. I'll slit your throat in your sleep while forcing you to listen to this on headphones.

[PWD65]

Internet tough guy alert.

[kringring]

[PWD65]

The singer sounds like he's getting murdered, it sounds like he's just yelling random noises, but what ever enjoy your shit music.

[kringring]

[PWD65]

Pass.

[atomicsparrow]

wow, you're really dedicated to letting people know how much you hate bands over the internet.

[1sleaze]

Ruffff! Reehhhhh! dawrkfJCPoeiaocdcoe Rufff! Rehhhhh!

[1sleaze]

[1sleaze]

It sounds like hes yelling: Ruff! Ruff! Utter GARBAGE.

[XVonGrimmX]

Go take your closed mindedness and ignorance elsewhere.

People like you are a burden to the advancement of the human race.

So kindly choke on your tongue tonight

[notsominidude]

thats one hell of a nice method you have there normally theres just go kill yourself or something but yeah thats good

im being serious here btw

[Chrisguy42O]

emoooooooooo

[PEEWEE9105]

[Chrisguy42O]

actualy no this is pretty sick my bad

[DaniGetAllTheGirls]

Converge arent emo, any do you really know what emo music is, dude?

[KevinJHackett]

converge is what angry sounds like. haha

[DasGehtGarNicht]

i think jacob bannon is one of the greatest artists alive

[RJN88420]

slayer fans love this song...

[darcymetal]

becuase of the solo?

[RJN88420]

si..........

[hoovooloo9]

Grow up

[barejokes2]

what the fuck

[RacistintheRain]

You are a fucking idiot. You don't have to sing to be good. You claim to like punk and hardcore, Greenday doesn't count fuckass.

[metalhardpunk182]

why does everyone assume that just cause i hate converge that i like Green Day, i HATE green day. i think there are better hardcore bands out there.lol and thanks for the fuckass comment btw, i laughed when i read it.i like the cross over post hardcore/screamo stuff. cause i can sing along to it and at the same time go fuckin apeshit nuts during a song

[randyMcrupp]

best Hardcore band ever!

[hxcxxxxxxx]

breakdown is fucking sick always love it

[grasspubes32]

pheonix in flight, last light, trophy scars. A bunch

[Henrock420]

now i can see why you've chosen such an appropriate name for yourself

[benj8706]

u know theres a bass solo in this song

[MetalGuitarGamer100]

im just kidding its awsome

[metalhardpunk182]

ok i dont lik Converge, but you say he sings in a few songs? what are the songs? im interested

[SuperMatrio]

i would say "farewell note to this city" is on of them

[edgestorm]

grim heart/black rose is the best example to hear his voice. he really is a good singer too. the fact that he creates music like this and does all the art for the band proves he is just a talented guy. and a really good person too.

[desimal222]

he did not singing in grim heart/black rose. his clear voice you can hear in lonewolves.

[RJN88420]

plus, in the recordings atleast, the vox are more of an effect over the music, lower volume than the other tracks, meaning more focus is placed on the instrumentation...

[MetalGuitarGamer100]

i believe it didnt took em long to make this song

[godis4sale]

Converge are the Led Zeppelin of Hardcore.

It blows my mind to no end to know that sounds like this can come out of human beings. I've yet to hear another band in this genre that can be so progressive and relevant after so many years making this music.

[RJN88420]

give it up for kurt ballou.. sickest muddherFUCKer evarre..

[weallwannabarockstar]

Wow at 6:04-6:09 that dude is lucky as shit.

I love Converge, and in my head, they're one of the best. Can't argue they're not.

But little funny irony, Jake's an amazing barker, and in an interview, when he was asked what makes you happy, he said dogs.

And F.Y.I, its only irony I saw, and I'm not trying to make fun of him in anyway possible

[mrCool706]

this is probably my favorite live video for this song I've seen so far.

[Starfishlandlol]

It all depends how you perceive your final moments of life, seeing as none of us have experienced that YET, he is no better than a religious preacher in this instance. I don't think we can fully write him off as such though, he does have a point, no matter how world-weary and skewed it may seem.

[mbpresent]

5:52 I love it ;)

[fruitpips]

bullshit to all u people that say converge is just another one of those bands converge started out the hardcore scene and bannon can sing and scream, no one can scream like him, he's been so successful, hes a free lance artist and owns his own record label

[utmobbad]

As a true Converge lover i got a point for u.

He's a barker, not a screamer. xD Hahahah

[sniktawleahcim]

i think... above all, the funniest thing about this band is how stupid their barker is..

"you're born in this world alone and you will die alone"

are you serious?

im pretty sure everyone's mom was there when they were born.

also you will die alone?

wtf, why would you even say that? how could you possibly have an idea?

that is deep man.. real deeeep...

[stabyourcat]

Hahaha yeah Jake gets a bit ranty between songs.

[Starfishlandlol]

Let me humbly attempt to convey the gist of what he's "blindly spewing"(I'll put it that way) from your perspective. No one is born beside you, you are considered feeble, ignorant, and relatively helpless when you are born. At that point in time you have no equal, at least in your vicinity.

You die by yourself, no one is there to greet death with you, at least most likely not under the same context. Some may consider this utter rubbish, but it makes sense in a way.

[deadpanface]

DYD

DYD

DYD

DYD!

DESTROY YOUR DEMON !!!

[blowtorchabortion]

converge; metalcore pioneers.

take your Job 4 A gAyboi, Waking Da CaDaVA, sooside silens "scenecore" elsewhere.

[sniktawleahcim]

"pioneers"?

are you fucking stupid?

converge discovered nothing new.. that are the same old bullshit band that tries to be cool by playing random notes without rhythm, and screaming because he cant sing.

although job for a cowboy does suck...

[Moonpigslaughter]

Random notes? I hear plenty of structure in their organization of notes, just because a lot of (and not all) of their stuff is chromatic doesn't make it random notes. And without rhythm? So you think everything that's not in a simple 4/4 rhythm is "without rhythm"? And Jacob actually does sing on a few songs, so that's a big hole in your theory right there. They are more well known for their chaotic songs, but that is by no means all they do.

Pheonix in Flight. A Farewell Note To This City.

[utmobbad]

+ that the lyrics are fucking awesome. Tho i've heard its mostly the Kurt(Guitar) that does the lyrics?

[BvA]

Jake writes all the lyrics.

[xRegulator89]

Yeah the saddest day is when these emo faggots created this song.

"your born in this world alone and you die alone"

Are you fucking serious?

Wow this shit is horrible.

I wonder if they can scream a little louder so i can differentiate the instruments and his cock sucking voice? They seem to blend into a giant pile of shit.

[fruitpips]

go fuck yourself, converge are punk hardcore not emo, you don't know what your talking about

[sniktawleahcim]

wow.. wtf is this shit?

how can you call this music.

there is no rhythm.

there is no singing.

all i hear is some two year old wailing away on the guitar as if it were a button masher.

and then a dog barking his ass off.

[badgernine]

I honestley dont understand how this guy can manage to speak normally. And then bust out these kind of vocals that would almost fit in with a Norwegian Death Metal band. Respect.

[CorinWright]

i can't understand how people can listen to this shit and not get some sort of terminal disease. come on guys, wake up this isn't music..this is just noise with some retard screaming different noises, i mean come on..my friends dog was making the same noises when he chocked on his own food..if you're going to listen to rock music at least respect the genre by listening to good music

[JasonNewsted88]

exactly.. you can't understand

[lindenbeamish]

I THOUGHT MUSIC WAS ABOUT EMOTION PASSION AND FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION??

Read his lyrics, watch the passion in the live show, please do not judge on just this and the no heroes video youu have to watch these guys and meet them you will understand why people love this band. They are so giving.

[aPOTg]

why respect rock when we listen to metal? sure. metal evolved from rock. but that doesnt mean we have to like it. you tell us to respect the genre. how about you respect people instead of being a self righteous fuck that thinks his music is the only good music.

[CorinWright]

i respect people, and i respect all types of music...but this isn't music

[aPOTg]

dont contradict yourself. theres 4 guys WITH MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS pouring their emotions into what they are playing. just because its loud, fast, complex, and too much for you to handle does not mean that its not music. it just means that you dislike it. if i said you werent a person because i dont like you, wouldnt you consider that disrespectful?

[hopewithinhatred]

"and i respect all types of music."

then don't bash music on youtube?

[CorinWright]

the only issue i have with this band is that the lead singer, (singer) is doing nothing but screaming. hes probably not even singing lyrics even if there are lyrics. if he sang properly i wouldn't have an issue with the band and would at least respect them

[utmobbad]

And by saying that, you just contradicted yourself.

Read his lyrics, it's worth it. Bannon is an excellent artist and it's a talented band, definatly.

If you can't see the musicality in this, then you are becoming blind and are about to go short on music.

It does have a reason why Converge is one of the biggest Hardcore bands out there.

[geoPhaze]

in your not so humble opinion.

[deathacus]

rofl shut up and go play warcraft.

[CorinWright]

warcraft?

[sniktawleahcim]

rofl shut up and slit your wrists, and hope someone thinks your cool.. ...

[deathacus]

hahahaha, okay guy.

[xStaycleanx]

chocked, eh?

thats some nice spelling

[CorinWright]

thats? That's some nice spelling.

[goldielockss45]

there's nothing wrong with my spelling

its grammar

awesome education!
