  • "While I waited I was wasting away": Best. Lyrics. Ever.

  • Is it just me or is the audio off a little in this video?..something with the vocals and guitar

  • I get sick of hearing people say AFI has sold out or went mainstream. It's not that. It's they have grown and as a result, their sound has evolved. Take Decemberunderground. First few times I listened to it, I hated it. But it was only because I didn't think it was "true AFI" which is ridiculous. Now, I love every song on that album because I appreciate it for what it is. AFI will never give us Art of Drowing or Black Sails again. But that's OK. Just sit back and enjoy the evolution

  • @Wolverine0777 Evolution doesn't necessarily mean progress :/

  • My fav song by this band if i had to choose

  • FUCKIN RIGHT

    

  • Lol at the kids bitching about DU and CL as they listen to STS.

  • @GreyShadowUchina shit dude..go smoke some weed and chill the fuck out. As the great Arnold once said...STOP WHINING! :D

  • Love this song so much. <3

  • This song has become my hell. Everything I hope for in life ends up being a "Great Disappointment". I've been broken, lied to, and I am constantly in denial. I see faces around my crumbling which subsequently causes me to suffer. What's worse is that as this song says in the begin, there used to be beauty in life. All it seems I can do is sit silently and cling to what I think I still have left.

    "While I waited, I was wasting away"

    I'd waste forever if I knew this song would always be playing

  • Man after Sing the Sorrow AFI became a great disappointment

  • shit like this dont exist anymore........why?

  • this song has one of the most fun-to-play bass lines ever.. back in the day when afi was actually good.. now they are just shit..

  • @kingofnone this was was best album but i also like the new stuff how come u dont like it

  • @kingofnone So you're a bass player..

    

  • Sing the sorrow was the best, well, album I identified with best. miss that shit.

  • this song kicks ass

  • This song is about a crazy guy who predicted the worlds end, rapture.

    So he gathers all these people, and they all think they're going to heaven...

    They climb onto a really high hill, in wait for Christ's return.

    He never appears, and the huge amount of people he gathered were all depressed and deceived.

    "While I waited, I hope was wasted away, faith was wasted away"

  • @everywhereimnot so sick isn't it

  • @everywhereimnot actual even too

  • @everywhereimnot It's the Seventh Day Adventist Great Disappointment... its on wikipedia, called The Great Disappointment.

  • @TwizzieGirl Yeah, I couldn't remember the congregation, or really anything specific about it. I just remember reading somewhere that that's what this song is about, then reading a bit about the Great Disappointment it's self, some years back.

  • @everywhereimnot Yeah, the connect dawned on me two days ago, and I was raised Adventist and have been an AFI fan since I was 17 (That's when Sing the Sorrow came out...)

  • @everywhereimnot That's sort of what went thru my mind when I first heard it/read the lyrics.

  • This song is a contradiction. It's called The Great Disappointment, but it's obviously not.

  • requests for what?

  • The only band that can evoke the deepest of emotions within you ... I used to listen to them 3 years ago and then I stopped ... because of the memories they brought.

    and today was the first time in 3 years to listen to them again ... I realized what a fool I was xD They are absolutely amazing.

    I wish some day I would be able to evoke emotions so powerful within the soul as Davey does with his voice and hunter with his amazing basslines

    Thanks so much for uploading this

  • @91FroSt91 exact same shit happened with ME! i stopped listening to them cuz of memories there songs brought for me and then just a weeks ago i had my ipod on shuffle and one of their songs came on and i got right back into listening to them!thank god i had my ipod on shuffle that day! ahaha

  • @arianafi Hahaha Thumbs up !!!!

    When I listened to them again it was yesterday xD I had them on a mix CD just some songs that I remembered were amazing just to fill in gaps is all.

    And out of nowehere I was driving last night, and BAM "Death of seasons" followed by "The Great disappointment" I was like "O______O" and always repeating their songs XD I was stupefied haha

    I felt so dumb for not listening to them over bad memories ... They're too great for that T_T

  • @91FroSt91 hahahhaah best songs on sing the sorrow! and yeah same like i stopped listeing to them over dumb bad memories im happy as fuck i got back into them!all day yesterday i was just downloading all their music hahha

  • @arianafi HELL YAH !!! haha It might have been the same with me to some extent last night ... As I already have all their music, I was just adding their songs to favs all day and showing them to my best friend (and she liked them, despite the screaming in Death of seasons)

    And when I began listening to Love like Winter, and 37mm I was like " wow, blaqk audio" and that's the story behind how I also got back to listening to blaqk audio again xD

    "I <3 Davey Havok" for a t-shirt .. sounds great XD

  • @91FroSt91 hahaha yeah i have most of their new stuff but i started getting back into their old stuff like AOD and black sails and i got back into blaqk audio somehow hahaha i dont remember

    hahah that would sound good but imagine being davey and seeing his fans wearing em lol he probobly be saying "obsessed" hahaha

  • @arianafi Same here ... I went all the way ... That CD had everything ... starting from "The leaving song" all the way to "I wanna get a mohawk" And "A highschool football hero" XD

    I don't mind if he says I'm obsessed XD If was in a live show I'd be busy whiplashing myself to death and scream till my vocal chords bleed rather than noticing his reaction to what I'm wearing XDXDXD

  • @arianafi Same here ... I went all the way ... That CD had everything ... starting from "The leaving song" all the way to "I wanna get a mohawk" And "A highschool football hero" XD

    I don't mind if he says I'm obsessed XD If was in a live show I'd be busy whiplashing myself to death and scream till my vocal chords bleed rather than noticing his reaction to what I'm wearing XDXDXD

  • @91FroSt91 yeah these guys have changed so much since the beginning its crazy!like if you go from answer that and stay fashionable and go straight to crash love youd say WTF! hahahah

    lol eh i might i have yet to see em in concert :( lol i wanna see em so bad ive only seen metallica and avenged sevenfold and i wanna add afi to that list

  • @arianafi WOAH NIIICE No one's ever come here before :(

    We only had Scorpions come numerous times before I was born, and Vader were scheduled to come but they were canceled ... due to its "satanic nature" T_T

    I wish I can see JP (That's impossible now =() and Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Slayer... AFI, and IRON MAIDEN (I know I said it twice but that's how bad I wanna see them XD)

    You have a pretty good taste pal :D

    And I totally know what you mean ... They've grown so mature over the years

  • @91FroSt91 damn that sucks :/ where you from?

    hahaha vader ive barely ever listened to them,i wanna se iron maiden FUCK YEAH!i wish i saw them when A7X was touring with them i also wanna see dream theatre,godsmack,lamb of god,and atreyu and so on hahaha

    and yeah like most bands they stick to the same exact sound their whole careers and its good but after awhile your like get a new fucking sound hahaha like disturbed was like that their first 3 albums and i got bored of their music hahaha

  • @arianafi I'm from the beloved land of Cairo (we don't use camels for transportation)

    I never listened to Vader .. I just wanted to attend the show cuz Nervecell were opening for the show !!! BEST DM BAND EVER !!

    My dying wish is to see Steve Harris before I die tbh XD And Lamb Of God ... I might seriously kill someone there (I get too intense in metal shows XD) Randy can just drive you nuts XD I can't even begin to count the bands I wanna see live tbh hahaha XD

  • @arianafi msg cont.

    I wanna see so many yet I've seen non up till now XD

    Yah Disturbed was pretty cool back then :\ now they're just dumb ... They're "boycotting" the music scene lol

    They chose to disband as the music scene was declining steeply XD

    Where are you from ? (One band I wish I could have seen, is Death ... Too bad Chuck died :( Oh and I wanna see Testament as well XD)

  • @91FroSt91 hahaha damn!yeah disturbed got dumb lol

    im from Los angeles were shit goes down haha

    i want to see system of a down for sure too haha

  • @arianafi Woah that's awesome :D

    mhmm Idk about SOAD ... never really "felt" them lol

  • @91FroSt91 really? system is sick as fuck but thats your oppinion i guess aahah

  • @2sick4u93 Yeah but the title of the album is like those things in plays. Sing the Sorrow = The Sorrow Sings, not Sing the Sorrow ! (as in you singing out your sorrow)

  • I think I listened to this song wrong, Im not disappointed.

  • @2sick4u93 In Soviet Russia there is no water, there is only vodka.

  • Great Song!! One of the best ones on the Album for sure.

  • It's kind of funny, it seems like Sacrilege is a part two to this song. This one is sad and like the speaker doesn't want to let go of his faith but in Sacrilege, "I can only hope this is one big joke", it's like similar songs with two completely different attitudes, something to think about.

  • bust out the bag of the super sonic ultra chronic and pack a fat bowl, put this song on sit back and enjoy.

    then play the song the last glance :)

  • Love AFI <3

  • This was when they were good what the hell happened to them.

  • when they were good? a true fan will appreciate all their music because they made it. some songs or albums may be liked less but never hated...atleast by me. I abso-fucking-lutely positively have and always will love AFI. -The Hollow Kid

  • @dessius415 A true fan will blow the air in your face when you're trying to sleep...

  • @dessius415 A true fan = a sheep?

  • @scarface49666 They always will be good. The new songs are glorious, no one takes the time to appreciate them.

  • @scarface49666 They made an album that wasn't to your personal taste and you thought it was unfair. That's what happened.

  • @scarface49666 how fckn true, i cant stand the fact that over half the people i know only know/lover their horrible years.

  • lol

  • This is probly my favorit album from them.

  • This was my favorite song on the CD and when it got scratch it was the first song to go. Damn I was pissed

  • @ShunjianDaRhapsodos omg same happned to me lol and but home is nowhere/ this time imperfect i was so pissed luckil i have 3 differnt versions the normal the uk one with synethesia and the clandestine collectors edition with dvd enclosed in book.

  • Best. Band. Ever. Existing.

  • @lonelygloomyday The beatles? Where? .>>

  • @crackaddict77 This is my opinion. This band is a very talented band. I listened to all their albums and yes this is my favorite album by them. Not taking away from the level of talent and creativity they put in the older or later albums. I'm a fan as well, but I respect other fans on their opinions of their favorite AFI albums. Stop trying to find things to separate us and cause fights.

  • @crackaddict77 Considering the band lineup has changed over the years, your comment is shit. Their older albums do not "make the band", because, in effect, they are a new band. Especially considering Jade writes the music now, and he is the newest member. If Davey or Adam wrote the music, then I'd consider your comment. But they don't, so I'm dismissing you as unintelligent.

  • Hate is fun lol

  • one of the greatest albums ever created

  • how can you call yourselves AFI fans?? no one even mentions Answer That, Very Proud, OR Shut Your Mouth in their top five albums. Their later stuff is good, but their older albums make the band. You cannot call yourself a true fan if at least one of those three aren't in your list of top AFI albums.

    you remind me of the jocks that went to my high school and claimed to be "punk" because they listened to new AFI. that shit made me never want to listen to anything after The Art of Drowning.

  • @crackadict77 you don't have to like a certain album to be a true fan... the fact is, the style is so compelety different now then it was when they started, people who like the new stuff probably wont like the stuff from their first albums...

    Persoanlly, I can barely stand anything after Sing the sorrow... also, they barely have enough albums to say "my top 5 favs are" seriously X_x

    either way, my personal favs are... 1)Sign the sorrow and 2) Answet that (because its so damn funny)

  • @crackadict77 Have you ever though that maybe-just maybe-they don't like Answer That or Black Sails or any of their older albums? You don't have to like every single album from a band to be considered a fan. I honestly hate Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes and I think DU was their worst album (they could of done better). But that doesn't make me any less of a fan. People have different tastes in music and it's not their fault that AFI covers like 3 or 4 different genres.

  • @crackadict77 Music is freedom...so your choice in music is as free as the music you so choose...Meaning that I'm free too be a fan if I want to...not because you tell me if I can or can't be.

    It's people like you that ruin Music for everyone, CRACKADICT

  • @BrandoProduxions nicely put... :D

  • @RattleheadAnthony thank you :)

  • hey, uploader, you seem to know much about afi, so do you know any more songs like but home is nowhere and this time imperfect?? those less punk songs...

  • afi was and stll is a great impact on my life! i love you guys always!

  • wtf are all these stupid track listings....just enjoy.

  • 1. Sing the Sorrow

    2. Black Sails in the Sunset / The Art of Drowning (I cant decide)

    3. December Underground

    4. Shut your mouth and open your eyes

    5. Crash Love (not bad.....but I hope their next album is better)

  • @capsfanintahoe Decemberunderground is all one word :)

  • @AjaEmo that it is...let my proper english get the best of me is guess.

  • @capsfanintahoe Yeah, it happens to me, too. I have a habit of correcting stuff, so I try to refrain from reading the comments, ha ha.

  • Comment removed

  • i love every record for what it is. i also make a distinction between what i feel is "best" and what my personal favorites are. here are the best 5 AFI records:

    1. Sing the Sorrow

    2. Black Sails in the Sunset

    3. The Art of Drowning

    4. Decemberunderground

    5. Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

    thumbs up if you agree, people!

  • @iamcitizen2010 i havent really heard much of shut your mouth and open your eyes, but i luv du, bsis, sts, and the art of drowning i like their newest album but its not my favorite... its not really the same

  • Pfft, top 5 AFI albums are as follow.

    1. Art of Drowning

    2. Sing the Sorrow

    3. Black Sails in the Sunset

    4. Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

    5. Decemberunderground

    'Nuff said.

  • No, this is the real fucking top 5

    1.) Art of Drowning

    2.) Very Proud of Ya

    3.) Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes

    4.) Black Sails in the Sunset

    5.) Sing the Sorrow

    Then would be Answer That and Stay Fashionable, Decemberunderground, and Crash Love. All Hallows Ep Is a fuckin masterpiece, but it isn't a full album so it cant be on the list

  • top 5 AFI albums

    1. Art of Drowning

    2. Black Sails in the Sunset

    3. Sing the Sorrow

    4. Shut Your Mouth and Open Up Your Eyes

    5. Crash Love

    and of course All Hallows Ep was the best song for song, but not quite an album

  • top 5 AFI albums (try saying that five times fast!) :

    1. Sing the Sorrow

    2. Art of Drowning

    3. Black Sails in the Sunsets

    4. Decemberunderground

    5. Crash Love

  • I still get a tear when he says "But you promised."

  • I think AFI was joking, because this song is no disappointment.

  • @Whatpressure Well the song is about the speaker's (not sure who among them wrote it) struggle with his religious beliefs, and not wanting to let them go, but reason, and a lot of disappointment just kills it. what amazes me is how they go from this to Sacrilege, from "Always wanted to believe" to "i can only hope this is one big joke", if you think about it, Sacrilege is kind of like part 2 to this song! But no, this song is NO disappointment, beautiful fucking song.

  • @GreatKingMinos yeah, Davey wrote this I think, because he writes most of the lyrics. But yes, AFI does very artistic and great anti-religion songs, and this is coming from a Roman Catholic.

  • @Whatpressure ya know, i've never really noticed that they were 'Anti-Religion',,maybe thats why people think im a Sacreligion at my CATHOLIc school :P

  • @cheercutieromance101 Haha yeah once you find out AFI is anti religious you kind of notice it everywhere :P and I prefer this over Sacrilege <---the song itself is good but pre-Sacrilege, Davey's lyrics have been about himself not believing, and with Sacrilege they were basically about going out of his way to kill other people's beliefs. That's 1)Just plain mean 2)Not what I'd expect from him 3)Hypocritical towards the 'mindless religious enforcers' he hates so much. But oh well, lol.

  • @Whatpressure Best comment yet

  • Lol @ MCR EVER being on the musical level of A.F.I.

  • Oh man what are my favorite albums....

    hmm....

    1. Blink 182- Self titled

    2. Afi- Sing the sorrow

    3. Blink 182 Enema of the state

    4. Smashing pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the infinite Sadness

    5. Blink 182- Toypaj and dude ranch tied for 5th

    Other great albums... Silent alarm by bloc party,

    hot fuss by the killers, other afi albums... oh dear im on a rant sorry.

  • @minimullen I love blink 182 and smashing pumpkins. but AFI is the best band in the world, no matter what

  • @missmelli936 yes, yes they are. My top 5 bands is always switching and changing, but guess what number 1 ALWAYS is, a band that never disappointed me, a band whose best songs never lost their effect on me, a band that is simply the best... I speak of course of none other than AFI.

  • @minimullen maybe origin of symmetry by muse

  • @minimullen mine would be all of blinks studio albums XD

  • definitely one of my favorite songs on the PLANET....it's fucking amazing!!!

  • I love the allusion to Anne Rice's Interview With the Vampire in this song (:

  • my fav song to listen to while baked :)

  • best song ever. no argument about it.

  • GOD I HATE LONG BEGINNINGS, but its still a loveable and awesome song!

  • @Fantasylover4life I love the begining , I can feel the emotion.

  • @woahXgirl94

    i love the beginning too, i just love how its so Long, is all.

  • One of my most favorite intro's ever. The creepy guitar lead Is fucking surreal!

  • not a huge AFI fan, but i will admit that little bass intro is BITCHIN

  • @pandresa then you should listin to death of the seasons by AFI

  • love it<3

  • forget what i said before, not onely is this the best song on STS but it IS AFI's deepest song. If only it was more popular, this song deserves a lot more then 15,343 views

  • Comment removed

  • ha! i know the fall out chick and thee AFIfan that also commented her:] they are my favorite band ever since i was i think 6 or 7 years old! hah! i love thee OLD afi, way more, but i guess the new album "crash love" was a genius too<3

  • Such a gorgeous song...one of my favorites.

  • What is the meaning of the song???

  • @romga23 It's about how he lost his faith, and stopped believing in god. Well thats my interpretation anyway.

  • I lov so much this song!!

    }

  • this is my fave song of the whole album

  • i agree.

  • i love the end of the song, with the backup vocals :D

  • black sails is the best. then art of drowning

  • @angienicole093 i agree :]

  • Sing the Sorrow is my 2nd favorite album <3 its amazing.

  • This is the best album ever. No other band could make it better.

    It's perfect.

    My personal favorite album <3

  • This album got me into AFI when it first came out along with The Last Kiss off Black Sails, but i got to admit it none of their stuff compares to The Art of Drowning and Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes albums

  • this, girl's not grey, and bleed black are the best on the album, but i love everything on this album

  • fellas, fellas ive been a fan for years, im glad u guys dig this cause their new shit sucks and i hate to say that but i have to admit. AFI needs to get back to sing the sorrow album for sure!

  • Aww man....I'm a fan of their older stuff as well myshadowdeath666, and I'll agree that STS was one of their best albums. I'd even venture to say that it was their single best album. Their newer stuff doesn't suck though. It's a different sound, sure, but it's still musically sound.

    You're entitled to your opinion though, and I mostly agree with it. I certainly agree that we need another STS quality album, cause this hate is fucking real.

  • @SikoNoriko i'd have to agree the most with you. imho this is their best albem. but i'm not going to say i hate their new one, because its still afi just a different sound. like always they've changed a little. i say i like how they've done it but that's just my opinion. but sts is still the greatest of all.

  • And when this came out, everyone was hating Sing the Sorrow, praising Black Sails...People make up your minds.

  • yes i defintly wish afi could go back to Sing the sorrow as well, But davy Physically can not do it any more he had surgury on his vocal cords and cant scream like he used to. To many conserts he literly blew his voice out singing lol. Love davy best singer eva ,

  • I think I just found my new favorite AFI song.

  • @Grave187RIP13 I say that everytime i listen to one of their songs lol

    

  • @Grave187RIP13 yeah dude all their albums are amazing.

  • this plus, the celluloid dream and but home is nowhere are the best songs from this album

  • I love the opening bass. i dont see the creepiness of this album at all, especially in this song. In fact, i find this song rather sad, however i kind of know what this is like, you know, what the song is about.

  • calm down dip shit it was a joke child hahaha

    judging by your comment before your the one with mental issues cheer up your mom dosent hate you that much

  • really didn't want/need to know that. -_-

  • Why would you think anyone wants to know that?

  • i love love LOVE all the mysticism that goes along with every afi album it's creepy, horror movie esque, and gripping... the music ties along perfectly and it's so inspiring and realatable and is able to have such deep meaning and concept... wow i sound really deep right now but black sails-present best albums ever!

  • fell in love with this album

    creepy album indeed

  • i love this song

  • How I feel right now.

  • Great song, but i think AFI will never be as good as the black sails album.

  • Blak sails is great, but i dont think it compares well to this one, This one was recorded better and sounds clearer becuase of that. But yea sometimes that old Catchy hardcore sound is awsome that blacksails is, but i like sing the sorrow way betta,

  • did my heart joy to see someone else feel this way, imo, STS > all (but they're all great except i haven't really got into crash love...yet..)

  • Best album by afi .... EVER

  • Omg I love this song :D

    And I love afi :D

  • sing the sorrow is the best album ever

  • AFI is the best band ever ^^

  • true
