[imbored92100]

its not night its nigh. the end is drawing nigh sorry for being a troll.just putting it out there so you know.no offence intended...

[MissGoldenAngelGirl]

I feel like I'm melting during this song, but when Shawn says "Remember me forever...." I DO melt.

[DarknessFalls096]

Alesana is one of the best bands that combine normal singing with scremo

[wanwan011]

@DarknessFalls096 for me they're the best to combine screamo with something i can't just explain , poetic?emotional?you can't let go of? i dont know but for me they're the best band ive ever heard ,very original and very cool band

[BACKinBLACK786]

The 'Remember me forever' at the end just kills me, I dunno why, it just does. <3

[gabbersueQ]

this song is kick ass

[EsperTinaVI]

what does the title mean?

[xiDiViNaTiOn]

@EsperTinaVI

It's referencing "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge . A man kills an albatross while on the ocean (which means you will die .) and his ship stops . Terrifying things happen to the men on his ship, so the Captain must wear the Albatross around his neck, showing he is the one that killed this Albatross . "Heavy Hangs the Albatross", it hangs heavy on you, weighing you down for the things you have done, and you will not live to remedy those actions .

[EsperTinaVI]

@xiDiViNaTiOn Ooooh, thanks for taking the time to explain all that to me. Sounds very interesting. I will look into it another time. Thanks once again.

[wanwan011]

@xiDiViNaTiOn wow thanks for the info!

[TheUndergroundLP]

@xiDiViNaTiOn I love TRotAM :) Had to read it last year for English. Really suited my fancy

[xxvampirekingxx]

@xiDiViNaTiOn "instead of the cross, the Albatross about my necks hung." its quite a good book but i wish it were longer.

[SasoriLuva15]

this is one of the few songs that can give me the chills.

[jomsar0123]

1:54-2:15 lyrical genius

[Joaobuscarello]

*-*

I love this song

thanks......

[MrChristian778]

its nigh not night :P

[MsMaeUzumaki]

I just started listening to Alesana (sadly), and I've wondered... there are a lot of references to Annabel, and there's even a song called Annabel... well, who is she?

[MrChristian778]

@MsMaeUzumaki a fictional charachter in thier story that they based off of the poem Annabel lee by edgar allen poe

[MsMaeUzumaki]

@MrChristian778 ohhh thank you!

[twistoffate123]

@MsMaeUzumaki they made a short story in there new album and Annabel is the sketch artist girlfriend that dies so she's just a made up character the band made up

[ryanoathpradaforce]

@MsMaeUzumaki they wrote a book that comes with the emptiness cd. it's all based on a story they wrote that was inspired by edgar allen poe.

[stickmaster546]

this song is simply a masterpiece...brings tears to my eyes

[screamingbearman45]

i dont know but since iheard this song i feel like its discribing me and my feelings so sad but so beautiful so many thoughts so many memories is all my thoughts and well lets say "my feet are sleeping" and i cant hold on nay more

[heavymetalhead366]

Really??? what two assholes hate this song????

[TheEmoSaur]

:]

[killaincali]

this is actually scary lol.... did he kill annabel?? who did?? whos the thespian it all actually scares me SHE KEEPS GETTING MENTIONED IN EVERY SONG!! AND EVEN IF SHE ISNT AND HE SAIS SHE HER OR GIRL I KNOW ITS HER AND WHO IS SHE I WANNA KNOW ITS MAKING ME MAD !!!!!!!!!! D:

[ZoeeIsMe]

@killaincali

Annabel is the Artists dead lover.

They have a story thingy that goes with the album that pretty much explains everything, so you should read it.

And the thespian is someone who informs the artist that he killed Annabel, though it would appear that the Artist is responsible.

Once again, Id suggest reading the story (:

[MetalfanRockfan]

@ZoeeIsMe Id suggest the poem that the story is based on.

[guitargurl007]

@killaincali google their album, they explain the story :o or jus buy the album and read the book thingy :P

[killaincali]

this is actually scary lol.... did he kill annabel?? who did?? whos the thespian it all actually scares me

[IstalkNOOBs]

Heavy Hangs the Albatross are they referring to the poem The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner =o cause if it is, the song doesn't have much to do with the poem x3

[AllisonFails]

Lyrics are fantastic, but it just doesn't flow all that well. Some of the parts Shawn sings isn't the best, it's not his singing in general, just the way it comes out. I liked the end though :)

[ThatRussianDrunkGuy]

where the hell is the "i fucking love this" button?

[livelifelovedie1]

@ThatRussianDrunkGuy Just repetitively click the like button, it's bound to appear someday :P

[musicismylife316]

[FallenEnigma666]

CHILDREN WILL DIE AND WATCH THEIR MOTHER'S DIE <33333

[imeneelkafsi]

according to wikipedia, this is related to The Rime of The Ancient Mariner?

Think it's only because 'Albatross' is mentioned.

[themicewearsprada]

[darkgothicrocker]

For better or even for worse..Remember me forever..+

[AgowTisro]

First time hearing Alesana after hearing every scene kid in my school talk about them.. And I'm a little unimpressed. I think I would enjoy this a bit more if the screaming didn't sound like it does. However, the lyrics are great, which is rare nowadays.

[JamesRoose666]

@AgowTisro lucky

i love this band and im the only one in my damn school that actually knows about them T_T. i want your school!

[waffelstomp095]

@AgowTisro True but go check out their other songs as well.....

[k3r0r019]

[ggddrr26]

[kolemaravilla]

It's easy to be gruesome and brutal but few outside of Alesana can be gruesome and beautiful.

[chibinostrofia]
