I have very vivid memories of the release of this song and the album in general. Alesana might not like this album but it holds a special place in my heart. Alongside The Emptiness and On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax, this album means an era for me. It was part of my development and I will always cherish the sounds and story behind this album. This meant my high school years and all the shit that went down, all the friends and feelings that I instantly remember just because it is connected to this era. I am so proud of these guys and the legacy they left for us.
I remember counting down the hours for the release of this song, I anticipated a continuation of The Emptiness so much. I was fascinated by Annabel and The Artist, it was impossible for me not to want a second part. When I first heard this song, I remember I screamed, I was so excited and because it was so late and I had to go to school the day after, I went to sleep but my body was so anxious for daylight so I could blast the song on my headphones that I couldn't sleep. I wanted to listen to it over and over again.
There was something sonically sad and melancholic about this tune that I remember I even looked it up without vocals to figure out why it was so mesmerizing to my ears. It turns out it was the whole production of it, the whole composition, the backtracking melodies, the lyrics, Denis, the violins, the instrumental, and of course Shawn's melodic voice. It was simply everything because everything was where it was supposed to be.
It had something that reminded me of "A Lunatic's Lament" Absolutely fantastic song. It was everything I wanted. I was absolutely thrilled about this album. You can guess I ran to my local CD store and begged my dad to purchase the album. I was the happiest when he said yes.
I had to spell the band's name out to the cashier so he could check in his computer's system if he had the album in his store.
It is a pity that many people bash their own fanatism when they were younger and don't appreciate the melancholy that listening to these melodies actually give you.
This was true hardcore Millenial emo music and I absolutely love to have been a part of this odd but amazing era of our time.
I still listen to Alesana from time to time and I have realized I wasn't wrong when I loved them so much!
Almost 2020 and bitch I love this.
Wait, they didn't like this album?
@@xXHireneXx I've never heard anyone in the band say that and considering they still perform songs from this album live I'd say they like it
Thank you for this. Feel the same
Alesana and Shawn specifically love this album, it was a large portion of the fan base who rejected it upon release
This album holds the biggest place in my heart ❤ amazing story!
2020 still playing this song :")
Mantap kak
Playing? Instrumen apa? Gitar?
Mantul 👍
I play Alesana's full discography in its entirety probably 3 times a month with many songs on Playlist for work. They are my all time favorite band, and personally helped me through a very dark time in my life with kind advice and amazing music.
Me too. Enjoy 🙌
As the water drips from the sky, I start to wonder.
If I'm still alive then I have to find the answer.
Could it be that it was a dream, and I'm still beside her?
Right before my eyes such a big surprise, the water stops.
Wickedness will rain, and drown us in her.
Sorrow (in her thoughts)
If I hope to survive, I must think faster.
I'm losing ground.
Should I pull back her veil.
You had the best of me (now taste the worst).
All that glimmers is not gold.
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness.
You had me convinced that together we would fly
Until I started scratching at the surface.
And your body is your masquerade.
Your body is an illness.
Temples crashing down all around me.
Panic clears the streets
The golden city falls.
And with it our lives go up in flames.
Should I pull back her veil.
You had the best of me (now taste the worst).
All that glimmers is not gold.
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness.
You had me convinced that together we would fly
Until I started scratching at the surface.
And your body is your masquerade.
Your body is an illness.
My blood runs cold.
(There's no need to fear our love.)
I feel alone from you
(Choose me or you will be left, abandoned)
(Will somebody shout? Is there anybody right?)
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Yeah!
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
I pull back her veil.
You had the best of me (now taste the worst).
All that glimmers is not gold.
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness.
You had me convinced that together we would fly
Until I started scratching at the surface.
And your body is your masquerade.
Your body is an illness.
?
I may never be the same again
(I may never be the same again)
I can't believe it's already been 4 years... so many memories,so much nostalgia. Alesana is still my favorite band of all time alongside Motionless
yes they are amazing, originally i am a heavy metal type but when i was first introduced to Alesana i fell in love with the music. especially the way they mix up their vocals from melodic to screamo. forever a fan.
+Max Ceballos agree
Warsha Cerulli alesana is more than just a band. They are story tellers. Through out the emptiness all the way to they said a storm was coming is all a story about Annabel and the crazy man they call the "lover", "murderer, artist and ect. This band has litteraly told a story through their music in four albums. Been together for 13-14 years. They also published a book. Not one band has ever done what these guys have. Proud to say this is definitely my favorite band in all rock /hardcore music.
6 now 7 in October. Times flies.
10 yrs
2019 im still playing this song :v
2022 ma’h booy 😎
2023 broo
2024🎉
I love this song but its hard to listen to, too many memories come back to me.
This is my favorite album from them.
Same bro
nostalgic
eli joe even more nostalgic
Por Dios que esta cancion es maravillosa
Sin duda le mejor de todo a place where the sun is silent
Simplemente, grandiosa
No tanto como el círculo 7 o lullaby of the crusified
2020 y todavía siento la misma sensación de la primera vez que la escuché y me enamore de esta bella canción!!
Asi es viejo, así es viejo, te conmueve y te encanta.... Te mantiene envuelto en ella...
2021 and still listening to this song. Been listening to alesana since 2008,. Ive became immune to my mother's screams because of their songs. Lol
2022 still comes here and will forever come back to listen
I think alesana always have a beautiful intro in most of their songs 👍
Very underrated album and band
i hadn't listen to Alesana in a while. their look really changed but the music is still the same. i'm happy to see that. i guess i'll be checking in more often.
Este album es genial !! La portada del álbum siempre me ha parecido fantastica , es como mágica hasta soñe que estaba en ese lugar y descubría las cosas que estaban detras del portal eonde estan los castillos los globos y eso !! Es maravilloso:3
Que cosas habían detrás?
2022 and STILL my favorite band. Alesana!
Still my favorite band. The new album is amazing
2022 still enjoying this fucking masterpiece of an album.
2022 still playing this song ❤️
I can't believe how Alesana just keeps making better music. When The Emptiness came out I was blown away at how great that album was. Listened nothing else for months. Now I'm blown away about how awesome this song is. I'm sure when the new album comes out I will be blown away about how awesome the entire record is. Where will this end?

Its not a crime to be 14 years of age and love some of the most amazing music known to man. In fact I started listening to alesana when I was twelve, I am now 17 and I still rave over every single morsel alesana puts on the table. The emptiness by far was my favorite, not at first but it had this weird effect on me, every time I listened to it I loved it MORE AND MORE until it was my favorite album they had created. People of all ages should be able to enjoy they melodic symphony that is alesana
it's so weird, because there is something so soothing about Dennis' screams...just reminds me of the good old days.
Anyone 2018? I guess no lol :(
