My brother commited suicide. When I was going through his computer to find music for his memorial, I recalled him telling me about this band, and how much he liked it. So I opened the Ashes Divide folder, and just randomly chose a song. This was it.
I really wish people would stop comparing Billy to Maynard. Just because Maynard and Billy were in the same band doesnt mean that he is living in MAynards shadow. He has his own unique style, very different from Maynard. Maynard is the shit, but Billy is an entirely different being.
There's something so simple to Billy's music. No complex technique, not a lot of chords, a lot of single string playing, but everything is layered very well. Very soothing, yet very intense. I am a fan of his minimalistic style, like in APC. He's a very underrated musician.
Amazing lyrics, amazing music...I once fell in love based purely on his voice and personality.. some are just that amazing..this is one that is.Ican listen to this over and over.
Im gonna have to agree. I've heard some of Billy's solo stuff now, and its amazing, but, him working with a musical genius like Maynard? APC is absolutely epic. I NEED more of it XD
@calvinwilsun that's a negative ghost rider. Maynard is a great artist, but this is Billy's band. Maynard shouldn't even be mentioned. ;) He olds his own quite well.
billy is a great composer... dont get me wrong.. but this band would do so much better if it was simply labelled APC. And billy is only holding his own with this band because he started out with Maynard in the first place. I love the billy's sense of style in his music though. @benevolentzombie
What are you talking about if it was labeled APC? maynard is not singing on this song. Billy is. And he has a nice, albeit different, singing voice to maynard.
The beat is great. Incorporated thoughout the song. This is one of the best lyrics in ages. The bridge is astounding, brings it home. Clear, to the point & articulates in a few short words what takes most of us a day and a thousand miles to try & get to. And then not. Kudos!
@JeffWilliams54 True that man! I couldn't have said it any better myself. Would have to be one of my most favourite songs, and i've only known them for about a week now. Has so much meaning, for what it is.
I was on a 4 day road trip on my motorcycle and I had my MP3 player on repeat. I kept advancing to the next song till I got to this one... I listened to it for 3-days, 6-10 hours in the saddle. I didn't get sick of it until I was within 100mi of home, and I chose the sound of the wind as it's replacement, not another song. This song followed me from sun to rain to snow, to the coast and to the mountains and back. Wow.
@johnnyKillmore I went on a trip to DC, which from where I live is a 3 day bus ride. This song was my lullaby. One of the best experiences of my life is standing in the middle of Arlington Cemetery with this song turned up all the way and just basking in the heaviness of the situation. I swear came home from that trip with a better understanding of what makes life so important.
ppl please this isn't an APC or even a tool recording but an amazing work from one creative force.stop trying to make everything out to be what it isn't...just listen!
I love this whole album. So good to zone out to... just stare into the ceiling, or into the sky with head phones loud and contemplate life's trivial details. Tool AEnima gives me the same feeling.
Gahh. Like. Every single song on the album sounds exactly the same. His vocals are much too weak. They just don't sound intricate. Like. He just threw them together in a few minutes. The music is okay, but the drums do almost the same thing in every song. Billy was definitely going for a more mainstream approach than with APC. But man, you gotta love whatever he does.
yeah ashes divide wrecks face! this song is damn good. its unfortunate they dont have the fan base that others in the music industry have. Billy has serious talent.
Just learned about this band today and I can't stop listening to them. Its like drugs i keep saying I'll listen to it one more time and I keep comming back to it
It's as if Billy opened a pandoras box that he had stashed away in his parents garage from when he was a kid and found a unicorn. Why do ppl think unlike this.
@IchibanJoyas Ashes Divide is the real deal. Saw them in 2008 in Seattle. Friend also saw them in Las Vegas same year. Band is super cool too. If you ever chance I recommend :)
i like quoting songs and putting them in my person message on MSN.. i try to do it with ASHES dIVIDE, APC, and Tool, and i can never choose which part of the song i want all the lyrics just speak so much and it would be doing more bad then good to just take a snipit of the lyrics without the rest..
i seen these guys play in album in vancouver B.C canda, i hope they make another album. Keep rockin on Ashes Divide, from what i remember they fcukin rock.
I am going to buy this album right now :P Finally got paid. EVERYONE who likes this song, who like APC and Billy Howerdel, go buy this album NOW! (or whenever you gets some moneyz)
@deemsy THIS WAS NOT FOREVER DEVOD. pLESE READ WELL, PLEASE. DEVOD SORRY i DON'T HAVE A DAUGHTER; SHE IS MY COUSIN, DESIREE JAEL. PLEASE FORGIVE ME PLEASE. SORRY FOR SHOWING MY SHORT SHORTS I SHOULD HAVE MINISTERED TO YOU. I WAS YOUR MOTHER, BELIEVE IT. READ YOUR KJV, PLEASE. GOD IS A SHEILD AND A REFUGE. ? THIS. PSALM 5:12 DON'T SLEEP TOO LONG! I KNOW I'M JESUS'S! BELIEVE ME, PLEASE. REMEMBER THE SABBATH. DEFINE TRUTH, DEVOD. PROVERBS 1:7 THE FEAR OF THE ... CONTINUED PLEASE FIND..
@deemsy THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE... PROVERBS 8:13 THE TAROT CARDS TOLD ME TO GO TO RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, don'T! TOUCH THEM. GOD WILL NOT AVENGE THE UNRIGHTEOUS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME DEVOD FOR NOT RESPECTING YOUR FATHER. i'M SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. he called me Peter for it. Satan touches you more when you do evil. Abominations cause you PAIN. I felt like a MAN for WATCHing ; it Devod. It awakened me and made me CRY. I hope you don't hate me. By the way...
@deemsy Gabriel blessed my eyes. I hope you understand angels so much that you see Holy God. Not the occult. I'm MARRIED TO JESUS!!!! BELIEVE IT PLEASE. dON'T LUST AFTER ANGELS. DON'T ? LONG THERE NOT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND. WATCH your JESUS VOICE. STAY ON YOUR KNEES. that is strength. TALK TO GOD. Stay focused on JESUS, have a PURE mind be blessed with a merciful and GREAT HEART. PEACE. FOR thou , Lord wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou Compass him as a SHIElD.
@runthemachine yes that oneChristLOVEfreak is doing crystal meth, staying up for days and trying to write something that makes sense while his mind doesn't make sense! I believe in introspectively searching within subjectively and not objectively looking for God outside pathetically, especially Jesus, who like the Buddha, was enlightened, vibrating at a much higher energetic frequency than the rest of us, had a 12-strand DNA rather than a double helix! we are 44&2 chromosomes, need to be 46&2!

BILLY HOWERDEL (APC) CON SU PROYECTO ASHES DIVIDE. MUY BUENA
Siempre se puede ...
Algo en que creer ...
Ahora bien, este es uno de esos momentos.Debió ser muy duro
De haber vivido y aprendido
Para estar contento con lo que eres
Todos queremos las mismas cosas que no hacemos
Para encontrar el que abre los canales de nuestros corazones
Un camino que nunca se encuentran en el suyo propio.
