"Paradise and Plague" lyrics
Warn only those who choose to hear a disappearing trail of death. So spare me your sentiments and accept me as I am. Salvation reaches out through familiar screams, begging me to stay. Reserve your mourning for the dead who wish they had but one day left. No need to waste your grief on me, I’m with you now. Will the ones I love forgive me for leaving too soon? Caught in the space between paradise and plague, there’s nowhere I’d rather be than with you. Warn only those who choose to hear a disappearing trail of death. Abandon the hope you had and accept me as I am. No one could save me, I was born inside my grave.
hands down this band will never release a bad song
The 3 people who disliked disagree lol
It's not possible with these guys
It’s not that they release any bad songs they just haven’t shown one ounce of progression in their sound over all these years. Wish they would level up a bit because they are clearly all very talented.
@@collinqs2541 dude they've progressed a lot. I've been listening to them since day 1 when they were playing Youth Centres in 2010 and I was only 16... Go back and listen to Current Will Carry Us and Prophets. This is such a different sound from back then. It's not that they haven't progressed, they just don't "sell out" per say.
LostDecay110 dude for real...saying they haven’t progressed is just inaccurate
You know when a band comes along every 10-12 years and you say to yourself “wow they’ve really perfected this genre” that is counterparts
Greg Pohlmeier Knocked Loose
Alexisonfire and these guys literally lead this entire genre
@@spencerhf4 Bro I love Alexisonfire and Dallas Green is one of my favorite singers of all time, but they are def not that category lol
@@Anthony-pq4vr I disagree, this genre is too over analyzed in my opinion, just because a band plays a certain riff in one song or has or doesn't have cleans, but to me, at some point, each of these bands cross over into the same kind of riffs and breakdowns and label it as "something different" sure you can argue that it's just music and shut up, and all that, truth of the matter is, I enjoy it all but, I believe that the only bands to really go out of the box ever is counterparts and Alexis, every other band, I can pretty much predict, every transition, every mosh call, every two step part, or what have you, it's just gets to be boring, but Counterparts literally named their band after an AOF song
dont get me wrong, i LOVE counterparts since day1 but.... have you ever heard of Shai Hulud? Cuz they basically invented this shit back in 1998ish and got thru different albums in 20 years, actually perfecting the genre... \_(ツ)_/¯
My fiancé passed away 7/7/21, counterparts was his favorite band. After he passed away I got in his car, plugged his phone in and said pick a song and this came on. I never listened to the lyrics until that day. I literally felt like he was screaming these lyrics to me. I listen to this song probably once a week so I can feel close to him.
Sorry for your loss
@@drumsno thank you!
Glad I came across this comment, I really apologize for your loss, and hope you are doing better now. How old was he and how did he pass? If you don’t mind me asking.
@@jacks910 Thank you, it’s been rough but I’m trying. He was 32 and it was an overdose from Fentanyl😢😢 He was clean for almost two years and had a weak moment while he was sick and I was at work and slipped up, unfortunately that was the last slip up.
@@carlalovexoxo No problem. I’m so sorry those were the circumstances, just horrible, but it’s awesome he was drug free for two years. That’s great on his part. Its sad he went so young, having a moment of vulnerability which lead to his passing. He’s still a good man in my eyes for getting sober. I bet he’s in a better place, enjoying the hell out of “Eulogy For Those Still Here”. I wish you the best, stay strong!
Counterparts has saved my life literally so many times. All the times I was broken, alone, and fighting for my life, when nobody was there for me, not even myself, their art was. I will forever owe my life to these guys. They don’t even know the impact they’ve made on so many broken souls.
definitely feel you
Hundo P band got me through so many break ups and hard times in life. Its nice to know brenny boy has a knack for making you feel understood and like you’re not alone
Since 2013 man, their music has lived with me and guided me as well. We aren’t alone.
I love counterparts dude, so much
the chorus is just living in my head rent free
It’s so good
WILL THE ONES I LOOOOOVE
DUDE LITERALLY
Every other band: great couple first albums, then downhill after that
*COUNTERPARTS* : Started out strong, steadily getting stronger, THEIR POWER LEVEL IS OVER 9000!!!
So true!
more breakdown based nowadays but still awesome
I'd say that Knocked Loose have started out strong and gotten stronger, but they only have a few eps and two full-lengths. Time will tell.
I thought Jesse leaving would break their neck, how wrong i was.
You do know it is 2019 right?
this band is just "wow"
their music is so energic and full of meaning, and their lyrics are so poetically tragic, that's why Counterparts is my fav band
I say the same bro.
counterparts is real emo lmao
@@smokehill7912 not
Album hasn’t even dropped yet and it’s already easily a top 5 release of the year
Calm down there r/metalcore
i agree
Update: album of the year
@@jxvquin i agree.
I think the key to Counteparts sound is letting each instrument breathe, you can hear everything, it’s not a wall of sound, it’s nuances of each instrument, it’s ups and downs, it’s a ride through the song.
That couldn’t be more true. I really think that Brendan’s vocals tie the whole thing together perfectly while still giving each instrument room to breathe
Also you just highlighted the exact problem with almost all modern metalcore. It’s a wall of sound.
*When you’re trying to have some peace of mind and a band shows up screaming behind u*
Thats what im talking about holyshit Counterparts with clean vocals is bringing the heat
jhencel dialino brendans heavy vocals over the cleans sounds so good😍😭
Manila vibe
heyyo, are you Pinay? If so or whatever, you have rad taste in music.
it's Brendan's cleans by the way
Wait until the final song on the album...it brings way more heat with the clean vocals
So glad to see Alex Re back in the band
One of the most consistent band
They're consistent af, but somehow I feel this album is gonna be totally different to YNYA, at least lyrically.
IDEALESS YNYA was powerful and an incredible record all around but lyrically it seemed to be lacking that “overly emotional” tone compared to earlier releases. The emotion really seems stronger with this record already.
Personally I’ve never understood how anyone could hear this and just view it as mindless noise. The musicianship is fantastic and the lyrics are more often than not incredibly powerful and inspiring. If not for this genre, I honestly probably wouldn’t still be here.
God I love Brendan's lyric writing so much.
nice music
who doesn't like Counterparts? Show yourself (so that I may slap you).
Video has 0 dislikes! 😮
lambgoat you guys are the goats
gay
Probably some people. Kind of like the way you don't like things. Physical violence is always the answer for ingraining and conditioning, though. Just like wanting to be popular and listening to radio play only. So... Yay for conformity?
hhehehe
This band saves my life. Everyday 🖤
There might be a day when Counterparts release bad music but today is not that day.
Don't make me assume you are a mean person for even taking that into account. How dare you? (Greta intensifies)
Beautiful buildups, sensational melodies and depth in their lyrics. Counterparts never disappoint.
My favorite bands are Misery Signals, Every Time I die, and Counterparts. All I need. This track is incredible.
Cheers dude we would be bros
How is it possible to only get better and better like Counterparts has done over the years? Every once in awhile I see a negative comment about them or other people metaphorically copying and pasting others' opinions that they haven't "progressed." That is idiocy of the highest caliber. Counterparts from Prophets (or even TDBHAH) to now has progressed so much and I usually HATE change in bands, as they almost always sell out and change their sound to something else for radio play and publicity... But Counterparts has changed and stayed true to their roots. I hope they never listen to the negatives. Those comments are from people completely undeserving of hearing their music in the first place.
Calm mate, everyone love counterparts.
Btw August Burns Red tho, they're always consistent n didn't go to sell out for radio friendly.
sorry for bad eng
this song solidified them as one of the best bands I have ever heard. Consistently one upping themselves. My god..
Yong tipong masaya/chill at relax yong mga nasa paligid mo. Pero mismo sa sarili mo? Sarili mo at utak mo e sobrang gulo! Maraming Salamat dito Counterparts!!!
Greetings from Philippines!
This band is just pure love
Never heard anyone say they dislike Counterparts
This band is such a gem. They can do no wrong.
the only band to not drop off throughout their career
I low key love how short their songs are. They tell such a long story in such a short time
My best friend took his own life 5 months ago and I learned about this last night. Thank you so much for your amazing music
Cool to see Alex in the band again
Is he 😲
Yea he's in the video, also check wiki where he is listed as a current member.
Jesse Doreen, Eric Bazinet, and Ryan Juntilla *coming soon*
But, Blake Kyle n Tyler is perfect tho
between paradise and plague has to be one of the best ways to describe life as we know it...
Hermano, te juro que no puedo creer lo consistentes que pueden llegar a ser estos genios. Tanta rabia y tristeza transmitidas por sonidos tan melódicos y tan disonantes que te hacen sentir exactamente lo que ellos quieren que sientan. Se nota realmente cuando hay alguien que ama lo que hace y se dedica a sí mismo en pos de hacer lo mejor. 11/10
terribles musicos, tanto talento en 5 personas, es increible
@@thecowardiceforeverfollowi845 Toda, toda, toda la razón hermano, te juro xd es increíble en todos los sentidos
no existe ningún grupo en el mundo que consiga transmitirme lo que me transmite Counterparts, cada disco suyo es como una puñalada en el pecho, pero una puñalada que te alivia recibir
@@xgonzo95 Te apoyo en eso. Personalmente lo considero como una puñalada que te ayuda a sentir algo al menos cuando ya no hay mucho más por sentir. Y, además, no es solo lo maestro de las instrumentales, sino que las letras de Brendan son, a ver, no sé cómo explicarlo xd, como que son parte de ti. Trágicamente hermoso xd
@Carlos Estrada El nivel de sentimiento que le ponen a cada álbum se super insano. Y más encima es un juego en cada uno de ellos porque se conectan con las letras y las instrumentales. Personalmente no conozco a nadie dentro de mi círculo social que los conozca:( y es una lástima, pero bueno jhaha
Spare me your sentiments and accept me as I am
they will never stop releasing banger and god i can't even wait for November 1st!
We need a tour with Converge already..
This band falls under the category of, “can do no wrong.” Every album they’ve released has been an absolute banger. Saw them in April 2018 with Emmure, one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. Bought You’re Not You Anymore on vinyl as well.
Love this band more than words can say.
These singles are shaping to be the most well rounded counterparts songs, with little musical discrepancies sprinkled in that are only known throughout their discography and it’s executed so well. I’m glad they had like every member ever writing on this record. Can’t wait to hear these songs live
So underrated. This should reach 1 million views!
they will always be my favourite band.
This might be their best song ever.
Nah, that's 100% Choke or Collapse.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 hmm Rope is also a contender. I love all their songs.
My fav songs by them are solace and compass
@@misfitmorgan Hell yes, those are my other favorites.
@@playernameistoolong Yeah, I didn't get into them until the 3rd album. Might reconsider trying out the early material again but it just sounds like Misery Signals. I just think that this is kind of a standard Counterparts song, but maybe I need to give it a few more listens. Definitely sounds a ton like something off of their last album.
The dude in this music video is exactly how i feel when listening to Counterparts and reading all their lyrics.
Counterparts have always been a great band. They were bringing 'bringing heavy back' before most of the groups that people claim are 'leading the resurgence' were even formed. Their catalog is filled is hits, and here they are, in 2019, adding more classics.
This band is fantastic. Your songs so full of meaning, it's fantastic that. Some I even identify myself, this one fell a few tears yes.
My favorite band, and this is sure to be one of the releases of the year.
Guys.
This is your best work yet.
This album is shaping up to be one of my favorite albums of all time.
the most consistently impressive band. they manage to outdo themselves with each release. i’m very excited for the record and for the private room 2.0 tour. everybody eats.
It's not often you see a video with this like/dislike ratio. So far, 15 people came looking for the show 'Counterparts' and thought the yelling was obnoxious. Speaks not only to how beloved this record is by fans of the band, but also how it makes it hard to knock being so well done.
that moment you realize this song is about suicide and being stuck in purgatory on earth between heaven and hell. Theres no where i'd rather be then with you.
God this is amazing . Just speaks to me . Literally perfect music , feels like it was made just for me
i feelin the it prevails / misery signals vibes in this
Joe Vitrano brendan said that they have been ripping off misery signals since the very beginning of the band and it shows lmao
Smokehill
I dunno man, I love MS, but I’m not seeing the comparison all that much.
@@JanoyCresvaZero this break down is literally the break down from labyrinthian. haha. not hating on it all, these guys are one of my favorite bands.
@@smokehill7912 Prophets is suuuper MS riff heavy. Love both bands nevertheless 🔥🔥👌👌
Yes Prophets is almost an exact ripoff. I remember jamming it when it first came out, and a friend got in the car and said "oh, generic metalcore" hahahaha
My best friend just passed and this song hits home so fucking hard, can’t stop listening, all the lives he touched
I can't wait for this masterpiece of Album ❤️
Commented every video from the album and feel so excited about everything i ordered
They just keep pumping out good stuff, jesus. Rarely been so excited for a record.
Counterparts is always so consistently fucking good. Never put out a bad song or a song I didn’t like, and only get better and better with every release
This band has saved my life multiple times. 💙
Holy shit , I thought wings of nightmares was fire but this... this hits different.
Fucking love the addition of more melodies in the new tracks. Brendans cleans are beauty
Banger after banger you cant tell me nothing , counterparts are on fire
Goddamn every song they release from this newest album is better than the last
This song always makes me want to hear Counterparts with more clean singing. I love their discography, but I think they could do it well.
Masters of their craft. Every track is a banger and this is no exception. Good stuff my dudes.
Can't wait for this album to drop
And it was so worth the wait!
They just get better with every relase, had concerns if they could top YNYA but this is sounding HUGE
I thought the same, but I'm definitely enjoying this even more than YNYA
No one can save me!
I was born inside my grave!!
Wow
This band is amazing
straight up counterparts with clean vocals sound fucking great, well if u an og you already know this by now
Life in your way want their sound back.
This shit hits the feels so hard - know too many folks that took their own lives
Welcome Back Alex Re
Dude..great chorus great breakdown great vocals, they never seem to disappoint
Finally consistent cleans looks like gonna be in the whole album. Always wanted that from counterparts. Now I can officially call them my favorite band.
Beautifully gut wrenching ...
Bro I don't think anyone will read my comment since I didn't get here early enough but we need a tour with them opening up for Killswitch and ABR and have Norma Jean as the other opener...
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 not a norma Jean guy ...but throw in Fit For an Autopsy n we got a deal.
@@tylerballard4170 or Phinehas
@@tylerballard4170 I really enjoy new NJ but I feel ya.
God fucking damn this SLAPS
these guys never fail to amaze me. they have such an unique energetic vibe it´s flat out awesome.
This straight slaps.
One of the best bands to ever do it. Love you forever CP
Can't wait for this new album, loved their last show in Brooklyn
Best Band on the planet.. hands down..
"Will the ones I love forgive me for leaving too soon"
Damn...
Fuck, Brendan, why do you do this to me?
I, indeed, do as you say in Tragedy. I do find myself in you
Still best metalcore band for me. Energy, uplifting so much, please visit Prague on Tour 2021 :-)
I was born inside my grave
Wieder so eine richtige Bombe... Danke an CP
i have been loving you guys since the first album! Greatest heartfelt band ever. Cheers to many more !! MTL loves you
goosebumps all over
they are unbelievable
Just ordered my sweater. (Not from the Victory Records site, like they said we shouldn't). Best album I've heard all year.
Seen them live 5 times now gonna by 6 soon woohoo!
Have you bought any shirt
@@leandroantelo7154 I have the black hoodie with the red and yellow. Says Counterparts on the front and Eulogy on the back
good music, AND good lyrics. a combo I'm finding harder and harder to find. not their biggest fan ever (don't listen to stuff w/ screaming as much anymore), but I respect these guys a lot and appreciate their music even when I'm not in a hardcore mood
Sick sick sick i love this band🖤🌹
Wow, I found a new band that's is fooking sick. I will be jamming out to these doods
Check their 3 last album too. Especially 'The different between hell & home'
@@mfadel1012 ok 🖒
ontario hardcore NEVER disappoints
I keep coming back this is definitely my favorite song this year straight up
Thanks for the birthday presant boys. I love it
I miss Saints Never Surrender
TheAlbinoskunk Yo, i suddenly had an urge to search them up a couple days ago. So damn good! They’re essentially like Counterparts’ older brother.
Brutus was a great record!
one of the best band on earth
SO STOKED FOR THIS ALBUM
905 you already know
love ittttttttttt
This is it boys. This is itttttttttt
every fucking album is so good.
Yes alex is back!
