[HotWater92]

[volcombiker253]

[amescassidy]

I get to play this song for an English presentation on Tuesday... Needless to say, It's definitely going to be one of the most amazing presentations ever. ;) \m/ August Burns Red, you mean so much to me <3 I LOVE THIS SONG .

[BasketballKd468]

i think the best part about this song is EVERYONE can relate to this

[magicman989]

August Burns Red knows me so well:)

[stuntman670]

This song has got to have the worlds best breakdown. Love August.

[moonwalker361]

The beginning of this song, the end of "Boys Of Fall" and the breakdown of "Poor Millionaire" = the three best parts of this album.

[Calbenmike]

@moonwalker361 This whole song is the best part of the album.

[moonwalker361]

@Calbenmike I agree, my friend.

[willtron3000]

Is that an 808 drop at 4:03 ? Or is it just me?

[cococrisp20]

@willtron3000 it is

[SeptemberBurnsBlue]

@willtron3000 You would be right.

[xJohnnyx3000x]

We are going to be the weirdest grandparents.

[fxwhitehcapelxf]

If just one person found as much inspiration from this song as I did, I'd be a happy man. That was quite possibly the greatest thing i've heard.

[SHOUTxHIxHEYxHELLO]

INSPIRATIONALCORE!

[Cheezy575]

This is such an amazing song! It has such a great meaning!

[H0lYgRaNoLaBar]

compassion is a beautiful thing so show some for yourself!!!

rock solid from the outside looking in. its hard to be surrounded by the ones that you love when they keep passing you by. <3

[TheSoverein]

im going to raise my kids around august burns red :)

[evolvedape10000]

@TheSoverein you might want to wait until they are old enough to understand, but i can't make your choices.

[ShinigamiTeamHD]

@TheSoverein epic

[Diehard804]

powerful song for sure

[PmrGuitar]

very good lyrics i like this one it has a good mening in it

[jamcow3]

Love how JB's opening riff was in a minor key.

Then after the breakdown, BREAK FREE!!! He changed it to major.

The ultimate happy ending.

This band is so amazingly talented.

[mrAmazing607]

GO FUCKING COWBELL!

[Johnnyiswhack]

@MrGorditotechdecker same here man. i wouldnt be alive if it werent for them. i feel yea

[woogiepooh1995]

the guitar at the ending around 4:00 give me the chills

[TomisC123]

First lines are soooo true, silence is a frustrating answer when all you want is a sign. that god exists and is there for me. this song is that sign for me.

[jvterror]

Riff Intro >>>>>>>>>>> ALL

[moonodude17]

4:03 Dat bass drop...

[xp3th0sr0ck]

Although i am not a religious person and believ religión is the cause of many problems in the world, i still love this band!

[TheFedoriaHD]

@xp3th0sr0ck Sameee....

[junos6]

I dont believe in god , but man , every song I listen from ABR made me think about having a better attitude everyday . fuckin awesome music .

[Zarby1234]

what i like the most about the lyrics is that they dont have to be interpreted religiously. they can be interpreted about love, life struggles, or many other things, depending on the listener. im atheist and i love these guys and As I Lay Dying for being bands that can write such versatile lyrics. not to mention they are both metalcore masters

[xBaitMyScenex]

BREAK FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[drunkencaraboo]

Jest that intro riff just kills my heart with joy :D

[ChristianN31]

@ 4:03 i never thought a breakdown would make me cry like that :')

[j062780]

ABR = the meaning of EPIC.

[rocktheflare]

very uplifting song. raised my spirits the other day. real talk.

[CaliforniaCarpenter7]

Audio Intercourse.

[ijakeii]

break free :D sooooo heavy!

[ReddTheOnly]

@Nathanis4Christ

YEAH BUDDY :D

[ReddTheOnly]

favorite band ever...so uplifting, so hardcore, and the best part, Christian :) -represent-

[Nathanis4Christ]

@ReddTheOnly

...GET CRUNK

Oh...wrong band

[Aaarrrggghhification]

Such an uplifting song :)

[aang97]

Dat bass drop at 4:03



[MrPatertot]

My niece thinks he says "BREAKFAST" @ 4:03. . . Now I can't listen to it without screaming breakfast at that part.

[SirJesseTheGreat]

Monday Night Football!

[joelepage8]

I love this song. Probably my second favorite ABR song after Leveler

[sithhunter12]

BREAK FREE!!!

[mellowmarshmel]

why the fuck does it matter what religion a band is. stop being dumb asses and argue about something that fucking matters.. pussies.

[xespguitarsx]

@mellowmarshmel It does to some people. A bands beliefs might have everything to do with changing another persons for the better. So it matters a lot. Next time you have a thought,, let it go.

[7h3tSLDR02]

@mellowmarshmel Cause this is a christain band with christain lyrics. So people have thr right to talk about religion on here.

[B1ffyClyr0]

@mellowmarshmel So they are pussies for commenting on what they believe in... On a christian band with christian lyrics...? Seriously.. Get off your ass and achieve something other than an arguement.

[MrGorditotechdecker]

this song and composure seriously saved me from suicide. ABR forever

[mike9090ish]

@MrGorditotechdecker dude i think it mite b a good idea 2 not speak of suicide here, kinda weird

[mike9090ish]

@MrGorditotechdecker dude u really mite wanna consider not talkin about that stuff on here, im not saying u didnt deal with it, but ppl who do pretty much go thru hell, so if ur joking please stop, if u need 2 speak of that stuff go see a psychiatric or etc but YouTube just aint the place and time 4 that

[xPlatinumKirby]

@mike9090ish dude you really might wanna consider not telling him what to do. Hes saying ABRs songs inspired him in a way that was good, that is giving them a compliment. And in all seriousness that was pretty much the point of this song, so ABR mission accomplished.

[joeschroeder007]

@MrGorditotechdecker stay strong!

[jamcow3]

@MrGorditotechdecker keep breathing man!! stay inspired!! I know, I myself as an ABR fan , am always here to help anyone else needing to talk. ABR has helped me, so I'll help others.

[ThePikpikcarrot]

@MrGorditotechdecker You are never alone.

[dskat92]

@MrGorditotechdecker It's weird how I was literally signing into youtube to post such a similar comment. This song saved me from so much I feel you on that.

[abrTIJForToday]

@MrGorditotechdecker Life is a gift. Remember this. Break free.

[greaking12]

@MrGorditotechdecker It pumps you up too much to do something stupid, but not that stupid :)

[TheEvilPea]

@MrGorditotechdecker This song isn't always going to save you from suicide, get help and stop showboating.

[TheCapturingspy]

@MrGorditotechdecker my tattoo I am getting is based off the this song because it has helped me break free!

[BackBurner144]

im viewer 19,000 :)

[qblecic]

...and i thought "Composure" was inspirational...

[jamcow3]

@morethanbreathing no. I know this from studying and praying while reading God's word. And if in fact you have truly read and meditated and prayed upon it, you wouldn't be having such an argument as this one. No need to be hostile man.

[jamcow3]

This song was so amazingly crafted. Same riff opening in a minor key, ending the song in a major key after "breaking free". Jake's closure which could have been suicide, yet he cried out to Christ and was renewed. Simply brilliant. I love this band so freaking much.

[jamcow3]

@morethanbreathing I don't understand what you are trying to ask.. We exist to glorify Christ and His saving act upon the cross to destroy sin for all those who grasp His mercy and love and live as best as we can as He did. The day will come when the King returns, and raises the dead, and everyone will account for their lives lived. He will say, "Well done faithful servant.", or "Depart from me, I don't know you." I can't wait to be at His table, forever. :)

[tuckin4u]

This song saved my life. I was at an all time low before I started really listening to this song. I didn't take the easy way out. I broke free.

[adrianxinx210]

4:18 makes me bob my head side to side and smile :)

[TheSlobknob]

the fact of the matter is no one can "prove" God exists. Why do you think they call it having FAITH. God gave us free will to choose whether or not to believe in Him and He put great people like this band out there to spread His word. Take what you will from it.

[Chapstiqu]

can we stop shoving religion down people's thoats?! just let them decide on thier own, the choice is simple hell or heaven personally i choose heaven but if your choice is hell so be it its not up to me. everybody just chill out and enjoy some good music together!! ok?

[kat123791]

# people suck dick for breakest, lunch, dinner and leap year.

[VriffStari]

@morethanbreathing Well i cant prove anything to you, if you only reject what i tell you. But you did say you really want to understand so ill try the best i can, and i hope you do keep you ears open =D. As you can tell i cant summon god up and tell him "APPEAR AND PROVE YOUR EXISTENCE TO THIS MAN!" So ill just give you the reasons why I think god is real. Every time i have prayed for something in his name, i have gotten what Ive prayed for.

[Gatorbait66600]

4:20-end  Happycore!

[VriffStari]

@morethanbreathing well what is you want me to prove what the point of life is or the fact that you get great gifts once you reach heaven. Plus heaven is greater than earth, the place where god himself dwells. who wouldn't want to be there. Don't forget even not very religious people want to go to heaven.

[pyro24482448]

3 peoples houses are going to be leveled

[ILikeToPlayGuitarToo]

@pyro24482448 lol

[mrsdarling69]

@pyro24482448 lmaoo

[chalkcoat]

@pyro24482448 4*

[VriffStari]

@morethanbreathing The point of being alive then is to worship God for being God and loving others. That is the point of life. And because of this love for your creator and his creations you will be granted many great gifts once you reach the kingdom of god. i really do hope this helps. or answered any questions you may have! =D

[emNemification23]

as much as i listen to this song, i never get tired of it

[iTzzStrikerNine]

4:01 nuff' nuff' jiggly puff...

[TwoIdiotGamers]

@concordiaawaits maybe ABR as full government? XD

[A7XRules4life]

Listening from my new iPhone!!!! Makes this awesome phone 10,000x better!!!!!

[emNemification23]

i LOVE august burns red. they lead others to God through the beauty of their music, even if the people listening dont know it

[Theheavymetalscott]

@emNemification23 I'm not being lead right now. :P It's all about the music for me, I couldn't care less about religion, it's unnecessary.

[BreezyFoSheezy2010]

@Theheavymetalscott ok thats cool, but its really about truth not religion.

[Ashopedies09]

I don't believe in God/Religion, but this song is so inspirational I might have to change teams.

[APUfan11]

@Ashopedies09 Best decision you will ever make. Hands down.

[MrNicoMiko]

@Ashopedies09 Good decision!

[GalaktikAraknid]

@Ashopedies09 So what you are saying is the non-religious are the enemy of the religious. Is that right?

[Theheavymetalscott]

@GalaktikAraknid Someone's going on the defensive via the shroud of the internet. ;D

[GalaktikAraknid]

@Theheavymetalscott And someone else can't seem to answer simple yes/no questions. Somebody bring me a bible, please. I ran out of toilet paper.

[Theheavymetalscott]

@GalaktikAraknid Haha, I see that. x] I hate it when people start debating religion on ABR videos, I mean they have the right and all but sometimes it's just like shut up! Never needed a god never will need a god, that's my personal view of it.

[2MetalDude]

@Ashopedies09 dude, im in college right now i HATED christianity. ive had problems with it since 9th grade. around the end of my senior year i started listening to these guys and the devil wears prada, ACTIVLEY, well needless to say time passes i get into the college im at now and i meet this guy who is with a really cool christian group. and i ask him some questions. i get my answers and they make sense. he gives me his info then i leave. couple of days pass, i run into him today. pure chance

[2MetalDude]

@2MetalDude part two to the comment earlier lol, and he asks if i want to go to the group hes with tonight. so i say ok, ill give it a chance. and im glad i did. i think ive finally found peace with god. or im getting there. this band and TDWP helped me get there. Cant thank them enough

[Griffk11]

@Ashopedies09 If you are serious about that I strongly suggest you read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. I was never an atheist but he answered so many questions for me.

[abmanc98]

@Ashopedies09 Go for it man it will be the best choice you ever make no joke!!! Life is incomplete without Jesus Christ!!!

[KennyRogers765]

@Ashopedies09 If you got questions i got answers

[MrTobin17]

@Ashopedies09 Just believe in the Truth,that's what ABR is all about!

[TylersaurRawr]

2 people didn't break free.

[A7XRules4life]

It makes sense for August Burns Red to believe in god. Because they believe they themselves exist. ABR is god. lol 

[wax743]

I am so ''Air-Drumming'' each second of this song every time I ear it!

[Drumstlcks]

3:49 is kickass!!

[PoopOnMyLip]

i used to think white walls and swim to the moon by btbam had the best breakdowns ever... that has changed since i heard this song.

[shungkhrang]

Leveler is on a different level ;) \m/

[AILDforever50]

Those song is easily the most beautiful thing in the entire existence of everything.

[jarnor24]

4:17-4:34 always gets me. Fucking amazing band, come to MINNESOTA!

[PnoYTROY]

BRAAAIN FREEEZE!!!!

[jamcow3]

Only ABR can perfect a breakdown in 7/8 time. EPIC. They've also have 5/4 (internal cannon) and I think 15/4 (boys of fall) on this record. NUTS!

<3 mad respect for ABR

[WarCraftCreep]

wow NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. o.o .... verry interesting though, i would definently tell my frinds about this band but my music/life is Ozzy Osbourne so... heh :3 (this isnt my account this is my boyfriends) muahahaha

[eatmydadschode]

BREAK FREEEEEE

[Amneziatik]

The beginning of that song is so Christian haha ! When you think about a Prayer !

[lorenplaysdrums]

If the production on the album was as gritty and mean as Messengers, this album would have been even better.

[chuckzone3000]

@lorenplaysdrums totally agree. messengers is still my favorite

[BeaverBroadcasts]

Who ever dislikes this masterpiece will end up like Jon Hershey's dog.

[notaprincebutaking]

@BeaverBroadcasts lmao august better get a gud lawyer lol

[AustinLovesDrPepper]

@notaprincebutaking Call Jose Baez. he can get you out of anything. and i mean ANYTHING

[painamusesme]

@BeaverBroadcasts what happened to his dog?

[crimsontides23]

@painamusesme His ex gf set fire to his dog, August, after he dumped her or something. Hence the name August Burns Red

[73HNiNJ4]

@crimsontides23 Nah i think the gfs name was August and the Dogs name was Redd.

[XxTIMEISUPxX]

AMAZING SONG!!

[CreativeEffects]

1:42 sounded so nice. :')

[vtneddo]

BREEAAAK FREEEEEEE!!!

[losmuertos12]

my favorite song on the new album

[brybrydrumma]

These guys know how to worship! God's so good, using their amazing talent for His glory!

[sk8ingrox1]

@concordiaawaits There can be 5 copresidents!!! We'll ammend the constitution for these guys.

[mutillidaddy]

August Burns Red invented the genre "HopeCore" back with Composure and keeps improving it!

[A7XRules4life]

"Silence is a frustrating answer when all you want is a sign."

So true.

[A7XRules4life]

Dat intro. 

[xCrizox]

best song off of leveler.

[sonofbeast87]

I think this could be one of their best breakdowns

[philpic71]

Haha 1:07 sounds so much like sweet dreams by marilyn manson

[hetmanek1995]

when I hear that song... when I hear the solo.... I'd like to do in my room Rampage!!!! O yeah!!!

[PayneKrunk]

the very end of this song reminds me of the very end of oceans of apathy

[sonofbeast87]

Seriously, its so addicting!

[xXDutchDevilXx]

No words to describe the beauty of their new album

[KEViNston7]

somebody just got shot in the face with their house on fire

[BTBAMsean]

4:17 engage sex

[skatebum188]

metalcore perfection 

[Sammyboy592]

@KlaxonExia "Their right"... happy?

[guitardude1243]

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite song on Leveler.

[burkadiddle8]

[makesyouorG]

2 WORDS. FUCK. YEAH. \m/

[Forre12]

"Compassion is a beautiful thing, so show some for yourself"

[Maccelinho]

[HD41DD]

@Sammyboy592 yooh that dumb and idiotic and very often used comment is quite under the level of jakes lyrics..

[KlaxonExia]

@Sammyboy592 spell "their" right first.

[GuggiLFC]

@Sammyboy592 it works!

[IROCK80551]

@Sammyboy592 Looks like someone doesnt like their house nor face.....

[TheFlyingCandyCanes]

@Sammyboy592 it looks like you've got victim number 1

[Sammyboy592]

@TheFlyingCandyCanes oh yes i do!

[HitsFromTheBow]

@Sammyboy592 Im Guessing that 1 Guy was Shot.

[xMangledx]

@Sammyboy592 WELL GOD WOULDN'T LIKE THAT WOULD HE?

[iKiwiMetalHead]

@Sammyboy592 Guess we're burning two houses and shooting two people then aren't we mate :)

[Sammyboy592]

@iKiwiMetalHead one is dead, and do you hate people not getting memo.
