the last verse gives me the chills every time ! i love it. All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, No, not the kind with halos, The kind that bring you home, When home becomes a strange place. I'll follow your voice, All you have to do is shout it out.
"All because of you, I believe in angels" Had this tattooed because as cheesy as it is, this band did save my life. they will probably never know but I will be forever grateful for the faith and hope they gave me to help me survive
Rise Against is like best friend, no matter how long I don't listen you - when I have a problem I play your songs and I immediately feel better :) Thank you guys
I've commented on this video too many times buy I recently fell in love with the last part. "All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, No, not the kind with halos, The kind that bring you home, When home becomes a strange place. I'll follow your voice, All you have to do is shout it out."
Hmm I really hate that part myself. I think Rise against have a nasty habit of making a really catchy chorus only to change it up at the end which ruins it for me. I often find myself listening to the beginning of the song a few times but never the end.
In fields where nothing grew but weeds, I found a flower at my feet, Bending there in my direction, I wrapped a hand around its stem, I pulled until the roots gave in, Finding there what I'd been missing, But I know... So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong. There's a point we pass from which we can't return. I felt the cold rain of the coming storm. All because of you, I haven't slept in so long. When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean, Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down, I'll follow your voice, All you have to do is shout it out. Inside my hands these petals browned, Dried up, fallen to the ground But it was already too late now. I pushed my fingers through the earth, Returned this flower to the dirt, So it could live. I walked away now. But I know... Not a day goes by that I don't feel this burn. There's a point we pass from which we can't return. I felt the cold rain of the coming storm. All because of you, I haven't slept in so long, When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean, Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down, I'll follow your voice, All you have to do is shout it out. All because of you... All because of you... All because of you, I haven't slept in so long. When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean, Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down, Inside these arms of yours. All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, No, not the kind with halos, The kind that bring you home, When home becomes a strange place. I'll follow your voice, All you have to do is shout it out.
I'm surprised Tim Mcilrath isn't ranked up with some of the best songwriters. The lyrics in this song are so emotionally gripping that I feel tears every single time I hear the ending lines.

AT 35 THE REVOLUTION SQUAD CAN SAY THAT AYO HOMIE GETTIN OLD! FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS WORLD I DID!!! I BELIEVE IN YOU AND THAT'S ALL YOU NEED! REVOLUTION SQUAD STAY UP...STAY BLESSED...OUT
Hardly "the rest of their work" ! Try going back the early days, when they were pure raw unrefined punk talent. With a sound that they have honed and polished, and an Ideology unfettered by corporate despotism, they have stayed true to their roots, they have carved a path through punk rock with a passion befitting their Iconic Band Name. They have set themselves among the greats of punk rock and rock alike.
Youareall Sheep When I said "the rest of their work", I meant it. I already know about all of their past work from The Unraveling all the way to Endgame, and I'm still supporting them.
Lol, I thought I made clear that I understand that by asking ''where are you from?'' but I guess it was only obvious for people with an at least an average intelligence.
Same tho. I'd forgotten all about rise against, I listened to this album on repeat all through high school. Now I'm in my 30s and it's just hitting so much harder.
I pray that I become as good as tim at lyric writing. I don't sing at all and I'm not in a band or anything, I just use it as a way to get my thoughts across. Mostly to myself if I'm honest.
In my case, my story isnt tragic or sad, but quite the opposite, it's a happy story. I was adopted at birth and that's why every time I hear the last chorus: I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, No, not the kind with halos, The kind that bring you home, When home becomes a strange place. I can't stop thinking about my adoptive parents who gave everything for me and how they became my angels. (I want to thank so many likes and comments you have left me! Unfortunately my dad has passed away, but he has left me all the love and teachings he could and for that and more I will love him forever. We must be hopeful, we must try to be optimistic, no matter how dark the world seems. Take care everyone and take care of those you love!)
It’s extremely saddening that this doesn’t turn out to be the story of most orphans and kids in the foster home system. However, with that being said, I can’t help but smile and be filled with joy when I hear of some one having anything relatively similar to your story happen to them and potentially preventing them from having a pessimistic outlook on families and life. Stay up dude.
More than 14 years later these guys are still changing my life. When they came to Bakersfield in 2010 was th best concert of my life. Always going to be a fan of the angels who guide you home when home becomes a strange place.
All because of you I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, no, not the kind with halos; the kind that bring you home when home becomes a strange place Genius
"All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, No, not the kind with halos, The kind that bring you home, When home becomes a strange place. I'll follow your voice, All you have to do is shout it out." So damn strong.

+asdfghjkl zxcvbnm Yeah its funny cause I heard this song 2 years ago once and I was humming a beat to him tell one.of us remembered a lyric to Google and bamboo we are here today (:
This is my favorite song of all time, from my favorite band. Lyrics are absolutely poetic, with multiple interpretations. One that I find satisfying is that the "you" he is referring to isn't a girl: it's the earth. This planet that we take so much from, without giving anything back in return... He does what he can to make it a better place, through being a vegetarian, PETA, recycling, conserving resources, and advocating his stands on environmental and political issues through his band, but it isn't enough. WE need to be the ones to change it. To make it a better place. He sees a light at the end of this video, and in this light he believes will perhaps come a brighter future for the planet, caused by the good actions of people. So, people. Be a little more environmentally aware and concerned. Leave this earth a better place than when you came. No matter how little you do, it's the mindset that counts.
Sometimes you don't realize how much you love a song until you put it on and realize you're singing every word from memory. That just happened to me with this song.
Yeah, it happened to me too. Recently, I stumbled across a song I was obsessed with when I was 14 (like 2 years ago) and I was surprised. I could sing the song word to word!! (If you're wondering, the song is "King for a day" by pierce the veil)
Totally. This song has been in my iPod, phone, youtube albums for over 10 years with other Rise Against songs. Today it just hit different, complete chills.
"All because of you, I haven't slept in so long. When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean, Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down" I love these lines so much
My story isn't as tragic as other's but I got dumped by someone I terribly loved and it really destroyed me for a while. It wasn't even too long ago. I remember playing this song over and over at night crying in the darkness.... This song describes LITERALLY how I felt. I still feel like this every once in a while, because if you don't understand what that feels like I will explain: it's like getting stabbed in the lung. You try to breath but its very difficult. You never die from it but the hole is still there, taunting your every breath. Thats why my favorite line in this song is,"All beacuse of you, i havent slept in so long. when i do i dream of drowning in the ocean..." Like I said I know my story isn't as tragic but it hurt me a whole helluva lot and made me stronger. Thank you for reading.
I know how you feel, man, the same happened to me, when I lidten to this song I think of that girls who left me. I still feel bad when I think about her.
I dated the prettiest/most popular girl in my grade all 4 years of high school I knew her since 6th grade she now dates a kid who was the most popular in his grade 2 grades ahead of our grade .. Bro I am fucking dead inside my soul is fucking black I don't know how I'm even breathing at this point she's all I think about 24/7 I'm even getting drunk rightnow because I thought of her to much today but I'm also drinking because I ran out of weed earlier .... Fuck man
Blankphotograph5799 I'm pretty sure this song is about the people destroying the earth. I guess that with the part about the flower and I have the feeling that the "you" is the earth and more precisely the flower which is dying.
loss of love is a tragedy and don't have to down play it for you it felt tragic try to find new love and remember how you felt learn compassion and never make anyone else in your future feel like this if you fall out of love why you feel bad is because you have a good heart the person. that broke up should be the one that feels bad and guilt love loss doesn't have to be total loss there should be friendship still
Man.... I haven't heard this song in years, it used to be my favorite until I fell into depression and started slipping into addiction, I couldn't even listen to music like this anymore (I think I was afraid of emotions) but man....... This song just makes me miss my old life, I miss not being high all the time, I miss bright colors, I miss thinking clearly, I miss feeling healthy. Gahhh I miss feeling these emotions. I need to change. I'm glad I stopped here today...
Don't listen to these idiots. Every song has it's own meaning for an individual, most strike a memory of their past that relates to the theme and the lyrics. It's what you take from it that matters. Push it into a positive direction. For me, this song reminds me of a girl who I thought was the love of my life but eventually had an incredibly negative impact on my life.
Please bow your head and say this prayer 🙏 "CREATOR, LORD GOD, Please help me against evil and all who favor it. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen." Please do this now 🙂🙏🙏🙏
This is the best band and they have not once sold out in any way. Hopefully they continue making their amazing music, as I impatiently wait...this music video was also very inventive.
Yea cause the popular kids listen to that shitty rap music with horrible lyrics that is usually sung by white guys that tryna act black lol (example lil peep)
5 years. I don't think about that flower everyday, but i still do, even 5 years later. I'm glad i left her in the field though... I look at her from time to time and the field in which she grows is plentiful of lively vegetation that surround her as she blooms. Thaat is what she deserves too; the prettiest of flowers devoid of thorns. It hurt me when i left her there, and I wish i never did, but a part of me knows that was the good thing to do. I'll keep on checking on, every now and then, when solitude burdens me or my heart aches. I wish you the best. May you keep on growing, little flower.
I'm getting my baby sister, who will be gone for 10 years on September 14th, 2015 tattooed on me, with the words "All because of you, I believe in angels"
Crlongboarder I lost my life partner on the 3rd May this year, we had been together for 8 years and that quote hit me too. Sorry for your loss man, may our Angels live on in our memories.
Rise against will always have a special place in my top ten bands. The nostalgia is real. I moved on to Metallica and others but, I always love this feeling of coming back to what started it all for me.
+TVNando Same bro the nostalgia is real with this band. And i started out with rise against too cuz my cousin introduced me to them and i fell in love. But yea rise against will always have its special spot in my list smh....
One of the best lyrical masterpieces. Ever. That is all. I’m 35 years old and have been through all the music through the late 80s, 90s and 2000+. This is it, right here....
First Rise Against song I've heard, about 9 years ago. And I'd never become the person I am today if it wasn't for this band. These guys had such a big influence on me and I'm sure I'm not the only one. God knows what path I'd chosen if this Band wouldn't open my eyes, when I was a lousy teenager not caring about anything in the world. Keep on rocking, can't wait to see you live for the fourth time in summer. Your music still gives me hope, even in the darkest times.
All because of you, I haven't slept in so long. When I do I dream, of drowning in the ocean, longing for a shore, where I can lay my head down, I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out. This has to be my favorite part.
The song is an allegory for our relationship with the planet. The fact that you can interpret this song to fit many situations is why i love it so much, however.
This has been my favorite Rise Against song for quite some time, but it just means so much more to me now that I relate to it. I don’t know how to describe it except that it soothes a pain deep in my soul and makes me want to cry at the same time. I love this band so much.
Highly opinionated statement metal is more intricate same with Jazz both of which are more accepted genres punks my favorite to but the best is deffinently an opinion
I got to see them with Taking Back Sunday, and Awolnation, at How the Edge Stole Christmas one year and I was literally moved to tears. Not crazy, sad ugly crying but definitely nothing I have ever experienced before. What happened to music that had meaning? I have never loved a band more than Rise Against, and I don't believe it's possible that I ever will.
I both Love and Loathe this song.... I lived this song... once upon a time... I had found that flower in my field of weeds... and so bewildered by it's perfection I could not help but be drawn to it. Little did I know my touch was all it took to render the butterfly flightless... "Waiting for the nevermore, Haunted by the thoughts and feelings, Saddened by the hear felt dealings, That I caused my lost Lenore. For a perfect girl of love and trust, Came into my hazy view, Though I could not keep her there for long, As my own love was a bit askew. The fires raging in my heart, Have no place left to vent, As the final letter to my love, I recently have sent. Now everyday that passes And each moment that brings, Tolls the bell of a saddened heart, That wounds me as it rings." ----- Me
@@raveNnite136 Thanks. My apologies for not replying sooner, but didn't get the notification... just stumbled upon your... and subsequently my, comment from 5 years ago while revisiting this song.. for no apparent reason.... lol...
That moment when you put on a rise against song and you see in the bar right so much other songs from them that you're like: "Oh damm, I don't have the time to listen to all this epic music right now, I need to sleep. But well this song is is just to good to not listen to, this song will be the last one before I will go to sleep." And then after some time, it's 3:00 am.
I used to listen to rap music, you know, the stuff by Post Malone, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, etc. Now that I come back to my old favorite band, I don't want to leave. Fuck this rap, I enjoy this much more. Rise Against never gets old. Loved and, and still loving it today.
Whenever I hear "all because of you" I can't help to blame myself and when Tim M says "I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out" I think of something like God
the last verse gives me the chills every time ! i love it.
All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.
So true
Amen. This band rule. Stellar stuff.
streatcarp Well said*
Same here chills every time
Billy lockwood What's it's title? Never heard it
"All because of you, I believe in angels"
Had this tattooed because as cheesy as it is, this band did save my life. they will probably never know but I will be forever grateful for the faith and hope they gave me to help me survive
thats a dope tattoo fuck the haters
So to recap if you could tell the band anything it would probably be “ all because of you, I believe in angels “ ?
Rise Against is like best friend, no matter how long I don't listen you - when I have a problem I play your songs and I immediately feel better :) Thank you guys
+1
yep. yep. yep.
+insanexjane Ok ducky. lol
Truth
ella I’m sort of the opposite way w/emo music. I play it when I’m sad to make myself feel better.
I've commented on this video too many times buy I recently fell in love with the last part.

I love that part too :) when he sings "i belive in angels" ...
I agree. Might very well be the best part of this song :)
Hmm I really hate that part myself. I think Rise against have a nasty habit of making a really catchy chorus only to change it up at the end which ruins it for me. I often find myself listening to the beginning of the song a few times but never the end.
No one said they were bad. I freaking love rise against.
In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
I found a flower at my feet,
Bending there in my direction,
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
I pulled until the roots gave in,
Finding there what I'd been missing,
But I know...
So I tell myself, I tell myself it's wrong.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.
All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
I'll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.
Inside my hands these petals browned,
Dried up, fallen to the ground
But it was already too late now.
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
Returned this flower to the dirt,
So it could live. I walked away now.
But I know...
Not a day goes by that I don't feel this burn.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.
All because of you,

All because of you...
All because of you...
All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
Inside these arms of yours.
All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.

This is the best vidoe on the entire internet.

I'm surprised Tim Mcilrath isn't ranked up with some of the best songwriters. The lyrics in this song are so emotionally gripping that I feel tears every single time I hear the ending lines.
He's so very underrated.
Rise Against needs to get into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame, there's not a bad song by them.

This was the first Rise Against song I heard. Then came Satellite and Savior, and ultimately the rest of their work. Freaking love this band.
Hardly "the rest of their work" ! Try going back the early days, when they were pure raw unrefined punk talent. With a sound that they have honed and polished, and an Ideology unfettered by corporate despotism, they have stayed true to their roots, they have carved a path through punk rock with a passion befitting their Iconic Band Name.

Youareall Sheep When I said "the rest of their work", I meant it. I already know about all of their past work from The Unraveling all the way to Endgame, and I'm still supporting them.
My first was "Help Is On The Way"
Mine was "Prayer for the refugee"
Mine was this, then Ready to Fall, Prayer of the Refugee and Re-education (through labor), it snowballed hard, my favourite band ever
Anyone else going through Rise Against's top track list right now?
yup
yeah
the best way is to play every album ;)
Absolutely
Chad Kirby nope, I'm going through them for a English project
Rise Against gets to me every time. Love this band with a passion.

Bob Bobson he was just curious to know where hes from. He never made an assumption of America being the only place in the world
I haven’t listened to these songs in ages. I forgot how powerful yet beautiful they are! This is pure poetry

I know Rise Against came out with songs that got more popular than this one but this will always be my favorite song by them. Anybody else?
Agreed
+pcon36 make it stop/ Septembers children so relatable
+James Yeates for me especially
audience of one is my favorite. but this one is good
Great song, one of my favorites but i prefer black masks and gasoline
ALL BECAUSE OF YOU

NO, NOT THE KIND WITH HALOS

What the fuck? How can a bands songs be so flawless.
Yes . beyond perfect
One of my favourite albums ever! Peak Rise Against
Somebody once said:"I believe that this is possibly one of the most beautifully tragic songs ever written." I couldn't agree more!
All because of you
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
no, not the kind with halos;
the kind that bring you home
when home becomes a strange place
Genius
The kind that bring you home, when home becomes a strange place. I follow your voice; all you have to do is shout it out!
Rise against for some reason always makes me feel better after going through something terrible.
12 years and still a banger
The final verse is so fuckin good
Actually 16 years, this is from 06
vidoe is 14 years old they still havent fixed it
Songs don't have age, IMO. This one is and will remain banger forever
Indeed
"I follow your voice all you have to do is shout it out" that part makes me tear up
because nobody ever shouted out...
Rise Against it's a perfect band !!!! LOve it
You're not wrong.
"All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice,

So damn strong.
In fields where nothing grew but weeds
I found a flower at my feet
Bending there in my direction
I wrapped a hand around its stem
And pulled until the roots gave in
Finding there what I've been missing
And I know
So I tell myself, tell myself, it's wrong
There's a point we pass
From which we can't return
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm
All because of you, I haven't slept in so long
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean
Longing for the shore, where I can lay my head down
I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out
Inside my hands these petals browned
Dried up fallen to the ground
But it was already too late now
I pushed my fingers through the earth
Returned this flower to the dirt
So it could live, I walked away now
But I know
Not a day goes by when I don't feel this burn
There's a point we pass
From which we can't return
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm
All because of you I haven't slept in so long
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down
I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out
All because of you
All because of you
All because of you I haven't slept in so long
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down
Inside these arms of yours
All because of you I believe in angels
Not the kind with wings no, not the kind with halos
The kind that bring you home
When home becomes a strange place
I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out
When he sang “I push my fingers...” then I immediately started to think “...Into my eyes”
Good to know that... I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!

Official Music Vidoe
This is my favorite song of all time, from my favorite band. Lyrics are absolutely poetic, with multiple interpretations. One that I find satisfying is that the "you" he is referring to isn't a girl: it's the earth. This planet that we take so much from, without giving anything back in return... He does what he can to make it a better place, through being a vegetarian, PETA, recycling, conserving resources, and advocating his stands on environmental and political issues through his band, but it isn't enough. WE need to be the ones to change it. To make it a better place. He sees a light at the end of this video, and in this light he believes will perhaps come a brighter future for the planet, caused by the good actions of people. So, people. Be a little more environmentally aware and concerned. Leave this earth a better place than when you came. No matter how little you do, it's the mindset that counts.
Sometimes you don't realize how much you love a song until you put it on and realize you're singing every word from memory. That just happened to me with this song.
Yeah, it happened to me too. Recently, I stumbled across a song I was obsessed with when I was 14 (like 2 years ago) and I was surprised. I could sing the song word to word!!
(If you're wondering, the song is "King for a day" by pierce the veil)
Totally. This song has been in my iPod, phone, youtube albums for over 10 years with other Rise Against songs. Today it just hit different, complete chills.
@Matthias Frank haha that's dumb tho (:
@Matthias Frank No Gods. No Masters.
@Matthias Frank Yeah and I dreamt about fucking Emma Watson when I was on shrooms - doesn't mean any of the shit our brains come up with is real.
"All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down"
I love these lines so much
so extremely good, THIS people is music!
Rise against's lyrics are so strong...
My story isn't as tragic as other's but I got dumped by someone I terribly loved and it really destroyed me for a while. It wasn't even too long ago. I remember playing this song over and over at night crying in the darkness.... This song describes LITERALLY how I felt. I still feel like this every once in a while, because if you don't understand what that feels like I will explain: it's like getting stabbed in the lung. You try to breath but its very difficult. You never die from it but the hole is still there, taunting your every breath. Thats why my favorite line in this song is,"All beacuse of you, i havent slept in so long. when i do i dream of drowning in the ocean..." Like I said I know my story isn't as tragic but it hurt me a whole helluva lot and made me stronger. Thank you for reading.
I'm really sorry for you, I never felt the same, but I understand you got hurt. Stay strong
I know how you feel, man, the same happened to me, when I lidten to this song I think of that girls who left me. I still feel bad when I think about her.
I dated the prettiest/most popular girl in my grade all 4 years of high school I knew her since 6th grade she now dates a kid who was the most popular in his grade 2 grades ahead of our grade .. Bro I am fucking dead inside my soul is fucking black I don't know how I'm even breathing at this point she's all I think about 24/7 I'm even getting drunk rightnow because I thought of her to much today but I'm also drinking because I ran out of weed earlier .... Fuck man

I'm pretty sure this song is about the people destroying the earth. I guess that with the part about the flower and I have the feeling that the "you" is the earth and more precisely the flower which is dying.
loss of love is a tragedy and don't have to down play it for you it felt tragic try to find new love and remember how you felt learn compassion and never make anyone else in your future feel like this if you fall out of love why you feel bad is because you have a good heart the person. that broke up should be the one that feels bad and guilt love loss doesn't have to be total loss there should be friendship still
Man.... I haven't heard this song in years, it used to be my favorite until I fell into depression and started slipping into addiction, I couldn't even listen to music like this anymore (I think I was afraid of emotions) but man....... This song just makes me miss my old life, I miss not being high all the time, I miss bright colors, I miss thinking clearly, I miss feeling healthy. Gahhh I miss feeling these emotions. I need to change. I'm glad I stopped here today...
hey don't worry, you will be fine, I was there too... it affected my life, but I do not regret it.

Debating on my response. Thinking either "Dick of the year award" or
"Achievement Unlocked: One-Incher"
***** who isn't?
Don't listen to these idiots. Every song has it's own meaning for an individual, most strike a memory of their past that relates to the theme and the lyrics. It's what you take from it that matters. Push it into a positive direction. For me, this song reminds me of a girl who I thought was the love of my life but eventually had an incredibly negative impact on my life.
Drama queen
13 years later and this still my favorite vidoe by them 🎉❤
Best vidoe of all time
truly a great vidoe
I spent so fucking long looking for this song. Holy fuck yes.
they had it on my work play list i got every physical album looking for it and 4 others obviously i love everything rise puts out tho
This song is so underrated. It's actually a beautiful song with a lot of meaning. I can't stop listening to it now!
My favorite song by the group! I’m a drummer and I dig it! Love the time signature switches!
Please bow your head and say this prayer 🙏
"CREATOR, LORD GOD,
Please help me against evil and all who favor it. Thank you for everything CREATOR, LORD GOD. Amen."
Please do this now 🙂🙏🙏🙏
LOVE the tempo change! Lifts the energy a bit higher each time, bet this would be a wicked band to see live
Yeah absolutely
I... Just... Ugh
Yeah, me too
This is the best band and they have not once sold out in any way. Hopefully they continue making their amazing music, as I impatiently wait...this music video was also very inventive.
there still doing really well now. Wolves was very good
When my girlfriend passed away Infront of my face my bestfriend ,this song gave me a whole new meaning. Rest easy !!!
This is my absolute favourite song. It just dwarves everything in every regard in my mind.
I sang this in choir in highschool and all the popular kids were like "wut..." But my emo and goth girlies got it 😉🖤
Our Anthem 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Yea cause the popular kids listen to that shitty rap music with horrible lyrics that is usually sung by white guys that tryna act black lol (example lil peep)
I love the final lyric about angels, it's just so beautiful.
5 years. I don't think about that flower everyday, but i still do, even 5 years later. I'm glad i left her in the field though... I look at her from time to time and the field in which she grows is plentiful of lively vegetation that surround her as she blooms. Thaat is what she deserves too; the prettiest of flowers devoid of thorns. It hurt me when i left her there, and I wish i never did, but a part of me knows that was the good thing to do. I'll keep on checking on, every now and then, when solitude burdens me or my heart aches. I wish you the best. May you keep on growing, little flower.
I'm getting my baby sister, who will be gone for 10 years on September 14th, 2015 tattooed on me, with the words "All because of you, I believe in angels"
I'm sorry for your loss, this song goes to her. Stay positive😃
It's sad to hear man. Listen to rise against, and that really is a beautiful way to remember her.
Crlongboarder I lost my life partner on the 3rd May this year, we had been together for 8 years and that quote hit me too. Sorry for your loss man, may our Angels live on in our memories.
That's one of the most beautiful things I've ever read.
He lost his sister. Show some respect, jerk.
Rise against will always have a special place in my top ten bands. The nostalgia is real. I moved on to Metallica and others but, I always love this feeling of coming back to what started it all for me.
+TVNando Same bro the nostalgia is real with this band. And i started out with rise against too cuz my cousin introduced me to them and i fell in love. But yea rise against will always have its special spot in my list smh....
+Alan Molina I remember this song from my myspace days. I love this nostalgia but I miss the good ol days ):
+TVNando Ohh forreal?! you know a band is old if you found them on MySpace lol and yea I guess the good ol days are long behind us now.....
Seen them 12 times! Obsessed you might say! Tim! One of the best vocalists today!
One of the best lyrical masterpieces. Ever. That is all. I’m 35 years old and have been through all the music through the late 80s, 90s and 2000+. This is it, right here....
Have you never heard of Tool? Don't get me wrong. I like Rise Against too. Hence my reason for being here to leave this comment.
This song brings so many emotions back to me and somehow this band still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Very rare.
One of the greatest songs of all time
This song is so hauntingly beautiful
Same here. I'm 13 and I have only been to 2. I live in Michigan near Detroit. Concerts are expensive. I would love to go to that many.
First Rise Against song I've heard, about 9 years ago.
And I'd never become the person I am today if it wasn't for this band. These guys had such a big influence on me and I'm sure I'm not the only one. God knows what path I'd chosen if this Band wouldn't open my eyes, when I was a lousy teenager not caring about anything in the world.
Keep on rocking, can't wait to see you live for the fourth time in summer. Your music still gives me hope, even in the darkest times.
Love how they change their tempo in blend it so well that it still gets u up... love it
The chorus is so well thought through! Their lyrics are always so good!
All because of you, I haven't slept in so long. When I do I dream, of drowning in the ocean, longing for a shore, where I can lay my head down, I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out.
This has to be my favorite part.
I’am new to this genre of music but I absolutely love this song!
better later than never!
Check out, "LandMvrks" a French metal core band. You might really like them. Also "Polaris - Masochist" might be up your alley.
I am playing chess puzzles on my phone I can go back one week and do the daily puzzles again. I have solved the daily puzzle 388 days in a row!
I have been in love twice in my life. Once was a nightmare and another heaven. This song somehow describes both. Absolute lyrical gold!
The song is an allegory for our relationship with the planet. The fact that you can interpret this song to fit many situations is why i love it so much, however.
All because of youuuuuuuuuuuu!
The lyrics are beautiful!! Rise against never disappoints even after listening to them over and over again!!
This has been my favorite Rise Against song for quite some time, but it just means so much more to me now that I relate to it. I don’t know how to describe it except that it soothes a pain deep in my soul and makes me want to cry at the same time. I love this band so much.
THE BEST(Official Music ***Vidoe***) EVER!
The ultimate throwback. I'm evoking memories of 8th grade, the nostalgia is immeasurable.
Am I going deaf or is this just not loud enough?
both
What?
No where near loud enough
punkrock is the best genre ever
Highly opinionated statement metal is more intricate same with Jazz both of which are more accepted genres punks my favorite to but the best is deffinently an opinion
Pretty much all rock subgenres are amazing
That chorus is really one of their best
The part where Tim sings “I believe in angels” makes me smile everytime I hear it
Imagine just chilling in a meadow, picking some flowers, and accidentally unleashing a punk rock band upon the world.
That would be the best origin story for a punk band.
man, I love the chorus of this song
Does anybody thinks those verses about angels are not probably most beautiful words in this song?
agreed
same
P. Poppy probably the album
Probably in all of music
This song honestly kept me from ending it in my teenage years, a decade later it is still my favorite and yes it still hurts
Best album would have to be The Sufferer & the Witness. Anyone else agree??
Nope. RPM and SSOTCC are better.
Aaron Pimentel Nah, RPM was their best. sufferer and Witness is a close second.
Aaron Pimentel Tie with Appeal To Reason. Sorry I love that album as much as Sufferer and the Witness.
Yes, that album is a fucking goldmine
Best Rise Against songs:
1. The Good Left Undone
2. Prayer of the Refugee
3. Savior
I like when Tim says “All you have to do is shout it out” is my fucking line and That is my jam? 🔥🤘🏾😝🤘🏾🔥
"There's a point we pass from which we can't return."
Heard this one on twitch in some guy's live stream. Came and played the full song here, became an instant fan.
DatModz, playing diablo 3.
I liked because your name and picture made me laugh:P
Zachary Farkas Thanks, I love making people laugh :]
I got to see them with Taking Back Sunday, and Awolnation, at How the Edge Stole Christmas one year and I was literally moved to tears. Not crazy, sad ugly crying but definitely nothing I have ever experienced before. What happened to music that had meaning? I have never loved a band more than Rise Against, and I don't believe it's possible that I ever will.
this song is so great...quite upset how such awesome songs like these dont receive the publicity they deserve :(
I both Love and Loathe this song.... I lived this song... once upon a time... I had found that flower in my field of weeds... and so bewildered by it's perfection I could not help but be drawn to it. Little did I know my touch was all it took to render the butterfly flightless...
"Waiting for the nevermore,
Haunted by the thoughts and feelings,
Saddened by the hear felt dealings,
That I caused my lost Lenore.
For a perfect girl of love and trust,
Came into my hazy view,
Though I could not keep her there for long,
As my own love was a bit askew.
The fires raging in my heart,
Have no place left to vent,
As the final letter to my love,
I recently have sent.
Now everyday that passes
And each moment that brings,
Tolls the bell of a saddened heart,
That wounds me as it rings." ----- Me
*****
Yes I did write that, and thank you very much. I have on occasion been known to be inspired by a muse or two.
Very nice ..
@@raveNnite136 Thanks. My apologies for not replying sooner, but didn't get the notification... just stumbled upon your... and subsequently my, comment from 5 years ago while revisiting this song.. for no apparent reason.... lol...
This will always be my favorite rise against song
I miss music like this.. With this much sentiment balanced by pure talent and musicianship. Hopefully we will return to this point again soon.
I'm into much heavier stuff but this song is great
That moment when you put on a rise against song and you see in the bar right so much other songs from them that you're like: "Oh damm, I don't have the time to listen to all this epic music right now, I need to sleep. But well this song is is just to good to not listen to, this song will be the last one before I will go to sleep."
And then after some time, it's 3:00 am.
Thijmen Schaap yea.. it's 5 AM and I still want to keep listening
I used to listen to rap music, you know, the stuff by Post Malone, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, etc. Now that I come back to my old favorite band, I don't want to leave. Fuck this rap, I enjoy this much more. Rise Against never gets old. Loved and, and still loving it today.
Whenever I hear "all because of you" I can't help to blame myself
and when Tim M says "I'll follow your voice, all you have to do is shout it out" I think of something like God
Love the chorus so much, just how the song flows and the message it shows.
It’s officially November 2022. This youtube “vidoe” is now officially a teenager!
