Honestly it's surreal hearing this. Reading comments about them retiring... Now they're back and Two Graves proves... Anberlin is stronger now than ever before yo!!!
This song is a phenomenal song to listen to while driving through the night. Anberlin never fails to disappoint... other than the whole break-up thing.
Ah the Final... I want to be 13 again when I first heard this band, influenced and saved my life, also tooth and nail truly it's been an adventure thanks for sharing these bands
I've been listening to Anberlin since 2004. They have been my favourite band since then and got me through many tough times. But the toughest time they got me through was my pregnancy with my daughter. I was considering adoption, as my husband and I were separated and he didn't want another child. I had picked a family and thought I was doing the right thing. One afternoon, I heard "You Belong Here" for the first time, and during that song was the first time I felt her kick, and I knew that regardless of my marriage, she was mine, she was my family, and she was meant to be with me. My husband and I got back together (we're separated again now), and we named her Anberlin. She just turned 3 years old two weeks ago. Keeping her with us was the best choice ever. I'm just sad that she'll never get to see her namesake live.
"Never take friendship personal" was the best album, I hope the new album has alot of songs like it did. It had the feel good drag, the runaways, paperthin hymn, A day late, and never take friendship personal.
Such a fantastic band. I could understand were they are coming from. Being in a band for long years can really destroy family, friends ect. Anberlin live your lives!! You guys will be missed. We shall remember you guys forever.
Man, I'll really miss this band. I'll always remember my friend and I performing Retrace in middle school for a talent show. Hope their lives out of the band will be fruitful and prosperous.
I'm gonna go ahead and get emo right about now. If it wasn't for Anberlin during my early 20's... I wouldn't be the strong and forward thinker I am today. They saved me from so much emotional distress that I feel like I owe them more than buying their CDs and never missing a concert. I took off work for Warped Tour just too see them one last time.
I'd like to thank Spirit Halloween's ambient playlist for introducing me to Anberlin. This song came on almost every shift I worked and never got old. Good shit.
In spring 2015 i was in San Diego listening to Anberlin all the time. There was this girl. I fell in love pretty quickly, within days actually. We spent about 3.5 weeks in california, then I travelled to canada on my own as planned long before. Only met her once since then, wasn't the same anymore. Tho these were some of the best days of my life. Listening to Anberlin now makes me remember every detail.
I took a close listen to the lyrics. They resonate with me more than any lyrics have in a long time, possibly more than any lyrics have ever. And the music drives the lyrics so well. This may have just become my favorite song.
I'm going to miss Anberlin a heck of a lot. They've been a massive inspiration to my music career. There music was one thing that amazed me but then their stage presence was something completely different. You'll forever be remembered. For that i thank you.
Locking eyes the waning glance, mistook chance Inviting meaning to the words forever Broken silence, defiance, misspoke turn Will I see you again if ever? Come on and leave me here I'm a vagabond though, wandering the night alone Right now you're over there In the social club state, pondering the wine While we elope A little bit closer to finding the real you A little bit closer to finding the truth Stranger things have happened Stronger men have answered A little bit closer to loving you Yet defying I'm lying If I didn't tell you You keep me up late at night Is it all I ever call your lover Even though we don't know each other And probably never will Would you stay with me Here in my dreams? If I promised you this heaven Would you take a chance On a make believe dance? Close my eyes and we're together A little bit closer to finding the real you A little bit closer to finding the truth Stranger things have happened Stronger men have answered A little bit closer to finding the real you A little bit closer to finding the truth Stranger things have happened Stronger men have answered A little bit closer to loving you A little bit closer to holding you A little bit closer to knowing you A little bit closer to touching you
i dont follow anberlin as much as i use to when they 1st came out but i still keep up with them and i will deff miss them its another band from my middle school/high school era ending after paramore breaks up hopefully not anytime soon all bands i grew up on will be forever gone
So much of my childhood's splitting up. Thrice, My Chemical Romance, Breaking Benjamin, Blur, Thursday, Evanescence, the White Stripes, and now Anberlin.
I love them so much...To Bad they aren't coming to San Francisco for their final tour. I got the pleasure of seeing them back to back for my birthday 2 years in a row. My favorite band ever!! Best wishes for all the great times these guys have given us.
It's sad they're breaking up. They're not on my favorite bands list and I don't listen to them much, but I do have a lot of respect for these guys and I don't think they're a bad band at all. :)
Damn they're just the best - the epic sound and feel we've grown to love. Forever underappreciated but forever my favorite. Can't wait to send them off with a bang on the final tour. Sorry this is ending, but I wish them the best in life as I cherish their music for the rest of mine.
I just realized that this song was played in their break up announcement video. Can't believe it'll be over soon, I hope to see them at warped and hopefully they come to San Antonio on their world tour. Saw them on their vital album tour and it was the best show I've been too.
Desde Blue prints sigo a Anberlin a partir desde una tarjeta virtual que un amigo te enviaba desde la pagina de Tooth and Nail...desde ese momento algo cambio en mi manera de percibir la musica voy a extrañar a esta gran banda. Lastima que no lleguen a Montevideo o Buenos Aires con su gira. Gracias muchachos por darnos tanto!!! Anberlin for ever!!!
I can't believe they're about to disband. Thank God I get to see them live Tuesday before my chance is gone forever. At least we'll always have the music..
Saw them on the Lowborn tour after loving them since I was a teenager. They they are one of the bands that comes to Adelaide, South Australia instead of just Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
I really like the song, I was hoping they'd write this album purely for their old school fans though. Was kinda wishing they'd do something Cities-Esque
Nah man. You have Cities, and two albums trying to be cities (Dark is the way and new surrender). Anberlin are best when pushing forward. Vital was so good because of that, and this is going to follow.
Michael Sweeney Definitely wouldn't call Dark Is The Way ''Cities Sounding". I thought that album they pushed for a more ''radio rock'' sound but then turned back on that and created Vital, which is in my opinion their best work. I basically meant they should have written their last album, not to try and push new ground musically but to give one final gif to their fans that have been with them for the whole journey by going back to their ''pop-rock'' sound. It's gonna rule anyway man :)
Michael Sweeney I don't think you can say that DITWLIAP was trying to be cities. New Surrender was similar though, but tended to be more poppy, less of a rock song, and lyrically it wasn't as deep as the other work they've done. Stephen partially blamed having to be under a big record label for it.
First Thrice, now Anberlin... So sad to see such great bands break up when they have so much more to offer. It's been a great run and I'll appreciate what their music has meant to me.
This reminds me of something A-ha would have done in the past 5 or years. And that's a HUGE compliment. Anberlin really grows on you--they have songs that have lasting power, great lyrics, potent messages. A seriously good band.
so bummed that anberlin is breaking up. this band has given me so many feels. They will always be my favourite band. I have always been in the metalcore genre but this band is far better than any other genre in my eyes. They are on the top of my top 3 bands and will forever be on the top. I swear im gonna force my children to like this band. #anberlinforever
Still listening to this album after 6 years...
Wtf it's been 6 years??? I still remember the day I first listered to this album 😱
Honestly it's surreal hearing this. Reading comments about them retiring... Now they're back and Two Graves proves... Anberlin is stronger now than ever before yo!!!
My taste in music may have changed over the years but Anberlin is one of the few bands I still come home to.
i know what you mean. one of my top 3 favorite bands!
I know what you mean.
This song is a phenomenal song to listen to while driving through the night. Anberlin never fails to disappoint... other than the whole break-up thing.
The singer has a unique sound...
~ peace
Ah the Final... I want to be 13 again when I first heard this band, influenced and saved my life, also tooth and nail truly it's been an adventure thanks for sharing these bands
Man I just hope they end this final tour playing fin! Such an epic song.
If they do I think I might cry.
spoiler alert.....they do
Yep that's what they did at the salt lake city show...it was amazing!!!!
Absolutely best way to end the last show I will ever see them do
Did it at Columbus ;(
I've been listening to Anberlin since 2004. They have been my favourite band since then and got me through many tough times. But the toughest time they got me through was my pregnancy with my daughter. I was considering adoption, as my husband and I were separated and he didn't want another child.

I'm just sad that she'll never get to see her namesake live.
It is a pretty name. It'll be interesting when people start telling her that they listen to Anberlin the band.
but she will hear the band and understand everything :) this band will forever live on in the hearts of their fans
In my opinion, there will never be a band that is as consistently good as Anberlin. I will miss these guys tremendously.
June 2020 in the height of corona virus pandemic, still absolutely loving this band. So glad I got to see them on a reunion tour last year in Chicago
They are one of my favorite bands!
An amazing, breath-taking song. Without a doubt, I will miss anberlin..
I second that
"Never take friendship personal" was the best album, I hope the new album has alot of songs like it did. It had the feel good drag, the runaways, paperthin hymn, A day late, and never take friendship personal.
Such a fantastic band. I could understand were they are coming from. Being in a band for long years can really destroy family, friends ect. Anberlin live your lives!! You guys will be missed. We shall remember you guys forever.
Man, I'll really miss this band. I'll always remember my friend and I performing Retrace in middle school for a talent show. Hope their lives out of the band will be fruitful and prosperous.
Anberlin, you are indeed missed dearly.
I'm gonna go ahead and get emo right about now. If it wasn't for Anberlin during my early 20's... I wouldn't be the strong and forward thinker I am today. They saved me from so much emotional distress that I feel like I owe them more than buying their CDs and never missing a concert. I took off work for Warped Tour just too see them one last time.
It's hard to say goodbye to one of the best bands out there
I'd like to thank Spirit Halloween's ambient playlist for introducing me to Anberlin. This song came on almost every shift I worked and never got old. Good shit.
Это песня, которая останется со мной навсегда. Самая нежная и красивая. Любой знает, в какой момент надо нажать на педаль газа)) Спасибо, Анберлин.
Один з самых топовых альбомов. Как вчера помню 2014 год.
their music will live on forever...
Another one of my childhood fades into the realm of nostalgia. I'll never ever forget.
In spring 2015 i was in San Diego listening to Anberlin all the time. There was this girl. I fell in love pretty quickly, within days actually. We spent about 3.5 weeks in california, then I travelled to canada on my own as planned long before. Only met her once since then, wasn't the same anymore. Tho these were some of the best days of my life. Listening to Anberlin now makes me remember every detail.
I took a close listen to the lyrics. They resonate with me more than any lyrics have in a long time, possibly more than any lyrics have ever. And the music drives the lyrics so well. This may have just become my favorite song.
I am so depressed about the end of my favorite band.
i hear ya
it will be a great final album if the rest of the album follows the quality of this song!
Excuse me, are you trying to say that Anberlin will finish their career after this album???...
Orlo Batero They will no longer be a band after this album, yes.
Me too :(
***** It has been a decade and they have done a good job. They made 7 successful albums. Sadly I have to admit that its time for them to finish.
I'm going to miss Anberlin a heck of a lot. They've been a massive inspiration to my music career. There music was one thing that amazed me but then their stage presence was something completely different. You'll forever be remembered. For that i thank you.
I'm so in love with this song!! I can't wait for the album!!!!
Dear Anberlin, I wanna hear your last first single that you'll ever have.
Thanks! Great jam!
I see what you did there....
So did I...
It's inevitable that you will :)
Locking eyes the waning glance, mistook chance
Inviting meaning to the words forever
Broken silence, defiance, misspoke turn
Will I see you again if ever?
Come on and leave me here
I'm a vagabond though, wandering the night alone
Right now you're over there
In the social club state, pondering the wine
While we elope
A little bit closer to finding the real you
A little bit closer to finding the truth
Stranger things have happened
Stronger men have answered
A little bit closer to loving you
Yet defying I'm lying
If I didn't tell you
You keep me up late at night
Is it all I ever call your lover
Even though we don't know each other
And probably never will
Would you stay with me
Here in my dreams?
If I promised you this heaven
Would you take a chance
On a make believe dance?
Close my eyes and we're together
A little bit closer to finding the real you
A little bit closer to finding the truth
Stranger things have happened
Stronger men have answered
A little bit closer to finding the real you
A little bit closer to finding the truth
Stranger things have happened
Stronger men have answered
A little bit closer to loving you
A little bit closer to holding you
A little bit closer to knowing you
A little bit closer to touching you
One of my all time fav bands. Thanks for the great tunes Anberlin!
i dont follow anberlin as much as i use to when they 1st came out but i still keep up with them and i will deff miss them its another band from my middle school/high school era ending after paramore breaks up hopefully not anytime soon all bands i grew up on will be forever gone
So much of my childhood's splitting up. Thrice, My Chemical Romance, Breaking Benjamin, Blur, Thursday, Evanescence, the White Stripes, and now Anberlin.
ProfessorRJLupin Thrice is breaking up?
OK. Thanks. ***** What year did they break up? I don't really follow them.
no offense, but paramore sucks. Hailey is a complete bitch
Kyle Bennett A good looking bitch haha
Thank you Anberlin for creating such great music over the years! Wish you all the best! We'll miss you.
I love them so much...To Bad they aren't coming to San Francisco for their final tour. I got the pleasure of seeing them back to back for my birthday 2 years in a row. My favorite band ever!! Best wishes for all the great times these guys have given us.
They are, Oct 11th: www.theregencyballroom.com/events/detail/252011 cu there
All time favorite band!!!!!!!

It's sad they're breaking up. They're not on my favorite bands list and I don't listen to them much, but I do have a lot of respect for these guys and I don't think they're a bad band at all. :)
This is a weird comment lok
I will miss these guys. Solid music. Awesome.
i like those songs that are a dream in sound. Many images are summoned to the mind.
You'll love dream pop
Damn they're just the best - the epic sound and feel we've grown to love. Forever underappreciated but forever my favorite. Can't wait to send them off with a bang on the final tour. Sorry this is ending, but I wish them the best in life as I cherish their music for the rest of mine.
Still to this day one of my favorite bands. They always will be...I'm hoping for a reunion tour someday!
Probaly never Will be another band like Anberlin! Miss you already...
I grew up on Anberlin! I'm trying not to cry!
honestly can not believe this is the end.... cant wait till there in Manchester... this band has changed my life!
I just realized that this song was played in their break up announcement video. Can't believe it'll be over soon, I hope to see them at warped and hopefully they come to San Antonio on their world tour. Saw them on their vital album tour and it was the best show I've been too.
Desde Blue prints sigo a Anberlin a partir desde una tarjeta virtual que un amigo te enviaba desde la pagina de Tooth and Nail...desde ese momento algo cambio en mi manera de percibir la musica voy a extrañar a esta gran banda. Lastima que no lleguen a Montevideo o Buenos Aires con su gira. Gracias muchachos por darnos tanto!!! Anberlin for ever!!!
I'm not really a huge Anberlin fan, but this is a sick song! Good work guys
I can't believe they're about to disband. Thank God I get to see them live Tuesday before my chance is gone forever. At least we'll always have the music..
Anmberlin one of the most underrated bands :(
Saw them on the Lowborn tour after loving them since I was a teenager. They they are one of the bands that comes to Adelaide, South Australia instead of just Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
I really like the song, I was hoping they'd write this album purely for their old school fans though. Was kinda wishing they'd do something Cities-Esque

It's gonna rule anyway man :)
Nah, they needed to do what they wanted
Michael Sweeney How is New Surrender trying to be cities? that's absurd
Michael Sweeney I don't think you can say that DITWLIAP was trying to be cities. New Surrender was similar though, but tended to be more poppy, less of a rock song, and lyrically it wasn't as deep as the other work they've done. Stephen partially blamed having to be under a big record label for it.
Damn, of course I start listening, right when they are about to disband...on the upside they are coming by NYC in November and I can go seem them.
best concert ive ever been to an ive seen queen, paul mcartney, scorpions def lepord, tom petty, iron maiden, and prince!!!!
My 4th favorite song on the album. Very beautiful song, but also very catchy once the drumbeat starts and makes for some mild head banging.
Anberlin :(. Such a great band.
Their songs are the real songs. WIth art, with feelings, with message. Gonna miss anberlin
First Thrice, now Anberlin... So sad to see such great bands break up when they have so much more to offer. It's been a great run and I'll appreciate what their music has meant to me.
Amberlin will live forever. As long as bosses like toothandnail keep uploading godly music. Its all infinite.
An end to my favorite band. Can never replace you guys. Gonna miss new music from you.
This reminds me of something A-ha would have done in the past 5 or years. And that's a HUGE compliment. Anberlin really grows on you--they have songs that have lasting power, great lyrics, potent messages. A seriously good band.
Alas! Anberlin... The Finest Melody than any one-else
A perfect song, made more than perfect by the fact that there would be no more after this album comes out.
I've bought the album last night, having NO IDEA that this is their Final Album. I will jam to this track for as long as I remember.
so bummed that anberlin is breaking up. this band has given me so many feels. They will always be my favourite band. I have always been in the metalcore genre but this band is far better than any other genre in my eyes. They are on the top of my top 3 bands and will forever be on the top. I swear im gonna force my children to like this band. #anberlinforever
Ah stop, those feels Brad, those feels. :'(
"I have always been in the metalcore genre but this band is far better than any other genre in my eyes."
You mean ears right?
NFS ReadMyPlates i meant eyes
as in i see them as the best band and trying to emphasize how good they were
Ah kk
Mein gott, I love this band. Thanks!
Ugh this song makes me sad... They have so much more to give us.. They always progress!
Now this is the Anberlin I remember. Their previous album was a miss for me. Can't wait
It's 2022 and I still absolutely love this album! Especially this song 😍
It hasn't even begun and I'm feeling like I'm about to cry :(
Still bumping this jam. A classic
Can't wait to see them in Sydney in September!! The night after I see Tonight Alive haha
there is no way to accept that my favorite band is ending after all this years! I've been following them since 2004 :/
Tear tear tear.... :'(
I'll miss these guys
As always, they capture exactly what I'm feeling. I'm going to miss this band. I've been with them since Blueprints
This is a good band different from other bands definitely highly recommended
Excited for the album. Their album comes out the day that Warped plays my city too so even better!
can't stop listening to this song
Same!
miss you anberlin :(
I regretted not listening to them while they were still together...Welp what can you do?
I still cant believe this is the last album, it cannot be :( Please dont go!
I can't till the new anberlin low born album comes out big fan of there music. It sucks it's there last album.
Everyone just needs to buy to this album and give them a Big Debut week make this album chart well
I am happy i got to see them live at warped tour 2014, going to miss you guys
First time listener. I'm entranced
Can't wait to see the, at Warped!!! August 3rd :)
This song is amazing.
I predict that when they play this on the farewell tour, I'm going to cry buckets. Same with *fin
Great song!
Man ive been a fan of anberlin since day 1
sucks that this is their last album..
Oh such a good song.
I play this on repeat for hours.
Beautiful song..
Man, I love this song. Also, fun fact: Stephen got the title for this song from a Morrissey song title generator.

Difícil ter uma música ruim do anberlin banda muito boa já tem 11 anos q acompanho essa banda tá na hora de dar um pulinho
