Anberlin "Bittersweet Memory/Breaking" Acoustic

[dennalilly]

Okay I have to just say one more thing.... Stephen is smoking HOT here >x3

[atomicfriendo]

@dennalilly anberlin sucks :)-~

[dennalilly]

"Hey, Christian, we did it!" "YEAH!" XD I love these guys.

[dennalilly]

I LOVE when he goes into his lower range at 3:53... DAMN.

[atomicfriendo]

anberlin sucks :)-~

[gieankyle]

wow! awesome performance.

[TekNacho]

came here looking for a bullet for my valentine song lol... but this ones pretty catchy. i like it :p

[XLBKstacker]

I got this cd back before july I didn't know I got it early

[sgtkalashnikov]

to Butafarie and Th3dealist: So just because they write a song about a girl breaking a guys heart they are all of a sudden not christian enough for you? if you really want christian lyrics then listen to Hillsong. but dont bash on Anberlin for writing a song that.s more "earthly". This song is awesome.

[NWbandgeek]

best band in the world

[TurtleAxe058]

it doesn't sound that great acoustic.

BTW why is he clapping for himself at the end??

[mikelsonhowell]

He's probably clapping for the guitarists/ to let the audience know the song's over... Stephen Christian's too awesome to clap for himself!

[TanjimSaad]

thats dudes fuckin buff

[Butafarie]

One more thing. I dont want to remember bitter sweet memories of my past. I want to be born again, in move on. Also, did you hear the part of the song where it says " coming in the air tonight" that is a bite off the phil collins song. "In the Air Tonight" is a song by Phil Collins : Wikipedia. And as i listen to their music, clearly this is not Christian By their fruit ye shall know them.

[spitfire209]

Hahah listen to as I lay dying ESP forever! And how can u judge lest u be judged urself grow up ...people have free will not everything has to have a christian tone/or lyrics it's a inward thing in someones heart oh and wow ur complaining he used one part of a song...really!! Wow lol

[Butafarie]

To Th3idealist. I was wondering the same thing. I feel that they have traveled away. You dont here Christ in their songs at all. But when yiu think about it; they never did. They are a  positive band , i guess you can say in some rights. But not a ture God fearing Christian band. WhaT A SHAME.

[Th3Idealist]

True about them not using Christ in their songs. But they do have lots of songs representing their Faith in God. Look at the Unwhinding cable car. Some others too. I just wish they would come back to more Christ like lyrics.

[Butafarie]

All Christ like lyrics. We are heading into a storm and alot of Gods children are going to fall off beacues of music and movies that didnt bring them in to a more closer connection with Christ. The enemy is slick. We should have not connected with the world in this music form. Lord help us!!!!!

[spitfire209]

Well what about the people that aren't healed and are not Christian they listen to this and open up to a Christian band like this if I was a sucular person listening to this I would not listen to hillsong ...anberlin,as I lay dying,Agustin burns red,Mae, all opens them up to Christian music so their actually reaching the multitudes of unsaved people

[flyersgirl929]

Christ is always in their music.....

[Th3Idealist]

Are they still Christian? I am simply curious because the few songs I've hear from their new CD really don't show their Christian backround etc. Along with that they are no longer with the Christian label Tooth and Nail, and have signed with I think Universal? Anyone know?

[felipee911]

Check out some of the lyrics to their new songs

Miserabile Visu &

Heavier Things Remain

..I think you'll find your answer

[Th3Idealist]

Thanks much. I'm definitely going to check that out.

[saveadrum777]

GOD i love anberlin sooo much... yeah they changed the name of the song to just Breaking. who cares, i would die to see these guys.

[flyersgirl929]

they are sooooo amazing live!!! :)

[mrretard155]

i wish they would of kept it bitter sweet memory instead of breaking but it is still a good song

[suzielovesmusic]

"the best you could hope to be is

now just a bittersweet memory"

OH YEAH!:-)

[imagine1231989]

Now months after the album has been out, I still come back to this video and he sounds so amazing and this first performance is so beautiful.

[senseiyang]

great song

[weisscorey89]

omg, this song is so f'ing good. I love all artist live, no matter how bad or good the voice is, to me i get a better feel of the raw emotion,which this song just blows me away

[ACORBIERE]

They played the Phoenix concert theatre in Toronto tonight it was amazing great job guys

[ConflictInTheSky]

Stephen's voice has come a long way in the past few years! His live vocals were always average, but now they are great!

[glooer]

Agree, some of their earlier performances were just not very good but this one blew me away. They are really good.

[sacred41]

they're the best band that i have ever seen live! his voice is SOOOOOOOO amazing!!

[Katiekinsx0x]

His voice at the last part.. seriously gave me chills..

[cydin756]

[Yunero]

he sounds good live, what are you talking about?! >:(

lol

[aj4445]

yeah when i saw them in concert his voice was amazing.

[brianvoo]

the video's that people take somehow cannot compare to what you hear when he sings live.

[DayLateFriend91]

Yeah i've seen him live twice (third time next week! WOOT! lol) and he is amazing. They know how to work the crowd, and Stephen's voice is always amazing lol

[61722]

the feel good drag in their new album is just so amazing.

[madamebri]

[Geekylovers]

[lithiumseconds]

[punkxstarxdreamin]

[BigFreaks]

They've posted a track listing for the new album on Absolutepunk, check it out.

[kevinjoenicklover96]

That sucks you missed them at Warped. They're gonna be the main reason I go too. Well, that and Relient K, but I've seen them before. Even though I'm a guy, I totally agree about his voice, it just amazes me.

[mitsumimi]

Do you know what their setlist for Warped is? Are they playing the new song at every stop?

[DayLateFriend91]

I am pretty sure they are. On his (stephen's) myspace page, he makes it sound like they will.

[musak0202]

do you mind me asking what his myspce page is?

[ToWriteLovexx]

mann.. i love them so much.

they're so amazing and talented.

his voice just takes my breath away.

i'm devastated i missed them at warped..

they're the main reason i went.. :[

anberlin is the best.<3

[mrwonderr]

FREE BIRD!

[admiralawesom]

i really hope this album sells like crazy, these guys deserve it. Theyre all really really nice too. His voice is beautiful, its so amazing. I hope they headline their next tour or just go by themselves and play 4 straight hours haha.

[candacetrain]

I could not agree more lol.

4 hours of anberlin live would make my entire life complete :D

[punkxstarxdreamin]

i so downloaded this. haha. i feel bad now.. but ive had it on my ipod for a while now.

[candacetrain]

where'd you download it from? I want it baddddd lol

[BlackFunday]

that killed me! =]

[jleeX3]

not gonna lie- have been terrified of the album and it's producer since they left tooth and nail, this song sound siiiik tho

[Dman761]

this cd is gona rock

[mquis]

I LOVE it... the new song sounds SO great!!!

[psychotick]

if this band started a cult and wanted everyone to drink poisoned kool-aid... id so fucking do it

[candacetrain]

it gives me chills everytime I hear it.

love forever :)

[xdreamingoutloud]

The album comes out on my birthday .. how awesome. This song is sounding AMAZING.

The CD will be freakin sweet.

[brianthefirefighter]

when he shouts "now just a bitter sweet memory" it steals my heart

and i'm a guy. that's quite a feat.

[benjaminp4]

I feel you bro.

[brandonrouthlove]

i cant even breathe when i listen to his voice. ahhhhhhh.

this album will dominate. easily.

[wordsofJesus]

Such a great band. I am definitely getting the new record.

[dergru]

[chrisgator101]

Best band ever.

[jcdoll07]

Oh man, this CD is gonna be EPIC!

[clareliddy]

his voice is so beautiful!

[mypianoheadcase]

damn what a voice, one of the best voices in modern rock today easily.

[godandguitars]

wow. i cannot wait for the new album. his voice is so amazing. one question, does anyone know if this will be an acoustic song on the album?

[heroinpatrick]

its not written like an acoustic its definatley not gonna be acoustic.

[himynameislindsay]

amazing

[lillafagaelbla]

anberlin-the greatest band ever! totaly amazed that they are releasing a new album. can't wait!

I wonder when they are gonna come and visit me here in the dark, cold sweden? :P

[okjernald]

I agree! The best band ever should come to sweden!

[LunatikMcmlxxxv]

Beyond awesome,I liked this song from 2 seconds into it, hearing just guitar

sooooooooooo excited for new surrender

[alikmarks]

i was in the auidence.

such a FANTASTIC concert.

these recordings don't do it justice.

Stephens vocals are amazing his recorded albums don't even do him justice.

this is all so UNJUSTIFIED.

p.s. i was the one yelling "we'll sing along"

so good.

the end.

[Pewsun]

ali lol we are all owning this friggen show. with our freebird and singalong, we'll friggen rise.

lol

THE END

[HopelessRomantic312]

Kyaaaa, I can't wait for the new album! ^^

[peterholland]

CAN'T WAIT!

[Weilder0210]

very anberlin, cant wait for the album to come out :)

[Naruto1151]

This song has so much meaning! I love it!

[166Eric]

awesome song! so can't wait for the new album.

[myall4hisglory]

Sick Song!

Can't wait for New Surrender!

[miraharith]

I'm SUPER excited for New Surrender. Please come back to Singapore, Anberlin.

[Pewsun]

i'm the one who yelled freebird!!!

yes!!!!

THE END

[evanderheyden10]

why did you yell freebird?

[Pewsun]

look it up on wikipedia.

its like a popcultural thing, yelling lynyrd skynyrd's song "freebird" at random concert.

any band will get the connection, and most older musicians understand it too.

THE END

[evanderheyden10]

tu che, even for how unreliable wikipedia is, it exists. That is pretty sweet.

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

that's weirdly random . . . . . i'm not sure stephen got it . . .lol

[Pewsun]

i think he did though, most musicians know about it.

THE END

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

well he didn't act like he got it . . . idk. lol when he said that, it was pricelessly halarious

[gordystruck]

you don't need to look it up on wikipedia! lol everybody knows Skynyrd!

[chrisgator101]

i wish i could meet them :(

[RonandSean]

I met Stephen Christian. He is an incredibly nice guy and very humble. This group is so talented, one of modern rock's most well written music, it's a shame they don't get more nods. Maybe their universal record label signing will help.

[Pewsun]

lol, its awesome!!!

[laucishland]

this song sounds amazing! cant wait for new surrender!

[mhoffmanusmc]

I was at this concert....what an amazing voice!!!!!!

[HardestPartOfThis]

i love this song. i have a feeling that New Surrender is going to be awesome.

[il0vec0ncerts]

omg i'm so glad someone recorded the whole thing!!! :-D i can't wait for new surrender!

[brandonrouthlove]

oh my. i cant even wait. i love this.

[soccerguitarist]

i love that they stayed true to their style....for this song at least with a day late guitar part kinda?

if anyone agrees with me let me know because i think that i'm just trying to sound smart lol

[evanderheyden10]

yeah i agree with you I just pressed the wrong button

[lgfaud18]

ahh....thanks for uploading this! I really needed a new Anberlin fix!

Stephen Christian is love.

[vjas89]

It's not bad:) can't wait for the record version

[StallingOut]

I like this song, it's already stuck in my head! My fave part is when everybody and stephen is like, blown backwards.

The guys are so great, can't wait to talk to them again.

and I gotta agree, I adore Christian.

also have to agree, Stephen just keeps improving on his vocals

[jtalep]

wow, thanks for uploading this, incredible. This album is gonna be incredible, looks like Christian has really settled in, him and Stephen seem to get on really well.

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

yeah they do. it's been over a yr. i'd hope he was settled in. . . . lol

[jtalep]

Yeh but I mean Strayer and Bruce never really seemed like they were part of the band, but Christian seems like he's been with with them from day 1, and this is the first time we've seem him playing an Anberlin song that he helped write. When I saw them live Christian was standing right in front of me, and he was so incredible, he lent over and put his guitar above our heads so we could touch it, such an awesome moment!

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

well thank God he's not another strayer or bruce . . . . (3rd times the charm)

[imagine1231989]

oh wow that must've been amazing :)

[twistchick]

omg it was so amazing! i recorded this song too...have been listening to it allll day!! i can't wait till new surrender is out!

[fieldseeds]

stephen has a great voice. it will be nice to hear the full version of this!

[towritelove777]

does anybody have the lyrics?

[Geekylovers]

wow. i wanted to go to this soo bad! was it as awesome as i hoped it would be?

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

when he says hey christian, you can hear that southern draw comin through. .. . lol

[uofmhockey07]

new surrender is gonna be amazing

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

heck yes!

[cardsdowngunsdrawn]

how'd u get that. it's not even online yet!
