Trey Celeya, the drummer for Invent, Animate, said this in the liner notes of the album: "... 'Luna' was written in honor of my late brother Christopher Scaff. You are loved and missed. This song is for you. Rest in peace, Bubba." Beyond touching, knowing that.
I have a close friend of mine who had to go away for almost a year and half. I couldn't talk to her or see her for that length of time and it really took a toll on me. This song reminds me of what it was like for me not being able to see her or talk to her when everything came crashing down on me. She was usually the one to pull me out when it came to stuff like that but she couldn't be there for me when stuff happened to me. This reminds me of what it was like without her. One of my favorites by these guys and I just discovered them.
***** That's a good thing man. It's what makes you human. It means the world to these guys that this song has that kind of impact on you. I know these guys personally and fans like you are the ones that keep them going.
Triston Williams I always relate to any of the music that I listen to. I always find bands at times in my life where I hit a dead end and don't know where to go. I get bored with the music that I have and search for something else. And in this case, I found Invent, Animate. I like what these guys got goin here and I want to see what else they do. Give my regards to the band and tell them they have a new fan who loves their music.
@@TragicHeroRecords much love for you guys! I discovered this band a few days ago by accident on Spotify and I'm loving every single song. I practice unclean vocals and I appreciate the vocals a lot as well as the instruments. Oh, and of course, the lyrics are so good! These guys need more recognition ♥
One of the greatest songs of all time PERIOD. You can't change my mind. Emotional masterpiece. Did everything I needed when one of my best friends took his own life.
@@blackpeople7927 They don't, though. Going through lots of their vids tonight and the Northlane comments are getting annoying as hell. Some other bands are similar, as in, in the same genre. IA has a very distinct sound, though.
This song hits me in the heart because I lost my brother to leukemia. May not be the same situation but, I lost my brother too, so this song is exactly what I need to hear. It's so beautiful and so meaningful.
I don't ever comment on things like this...but I've always loved IA, and this song. I was always drawn to it in fondness of my own brother. And now, this song is entirely different for me: my brother committed suicide last week. He was my hero. These lyrics are the thoughts in my mind now. I love you Mike. To anyone feeling fear, sadness, or hopelessness: there is always one more day, always. A bad day is not a bad life. Please. Please - reach out to someone you love; they want to hear about what makes the world dark for you. It's not shameful. They would do anything to keep you here. Please.
I am so sorry for your loss I understand that is just something you can never fully heal from :( I don’t know what I would do if I lost my brother, I’ve had many nightmares about it over the years. He’s the reason I am the way I am, he provides guidance and advises me on things because of our huge 12 year age gap, I would’ve never gotten into Metalcore or any of these genres without him and music legitimately saved me from a life of depression and self hate. Keep on going man and live life to your fullest, im sure your brother would appreciate seeing you happy from wherever he is ^^
@@SuicideSeason4545 I appreciate the kind words, man. It's been a year, and things are better these days. I still obviously miss him dearly, but at least the emotional seas are calmer these days. Cherish your brother - my brother was 7 years older than I, and sounds like I had a very similar relationship to him as you do with your brother. Same with your comments on music: this and other like-genres have always been a big part of my life for the bravery the genres have in confronting some very relatable, although often, overlooked-truths of the human experience we all encounter. It's why I posted my original comment to this song: I always identified with this song, due to my close relationship with my brother...but when my brother committed suicide, knowing this song was about the loss of a brother to suicide...it instantly hit even that much more powerfully. Songs like this got me through the loss of my brother, as they reminded me that I'm not alone in the experience - that more of us than we like to admit/account for have experienced similar or, unfortunately, worse. Sometimes it's a monumental thing to remember when we've tended to forget: we're all in this together. Thank you for taking the time to reach out, stranger. You're a good human. Remember to hug your brother. Cheers, dude.
My favorite type of genre. Djent and on top of that it's emotional af. I cried my eyes out when he came out with "brother do you watch over me". That hit hard. I'd love if y'all could point out some bands with the same depressing and melodic type of guitars.
Tremendously saddening song, Trey's vocals at the end are so impactful, yearning to send a message above, sorry for your massive loss, for Trey and anyone who relates to this song. "That day the clouds hung over me Thats day, it seemed so distant".
It's amazing that the first time I heard this song, I almost knew the story behind it without actually having ever heard about it, just from the lyrics and emotion
So powerful. The last scream on this track, is the most emotional and strong scream I've ever heard, then it fades out and that concludes the album. This album was monumental. 2014 was a good year.
this band is very Northlane-ish. don't take this the wrong way but i feel like this is the direction singularity should have gone. (singularity is still one of my favourite albums though). let's hope their new vocalist doesn't change the dynamic of their sound
MaryJanes HookFromHell I couldn't agree more! They're going to go so soft. They already said that there's going to be much more cleans in the upcoming album. I personally wanted Michael Lawler to win. I thought he NAILED it. Hby?
I personally enjoyed Aeden Cooper's dream awake. About the new album, they said "Rot" is one of the heaviest Northlane songs, that's why i can't picture Marcus getting in, because he has practically no lows or heavy vocals.
I freaking cried...Rarely does a song hit this hard. Both music and lyrics express so accurately what this is about. i'm at a loss for words. unbelievable.
The Memories and Flashbacks that come with listening to this. Breaks my Heart. Appreciate the People you have in your life, you never know when they won't be given another tomorrow.
the outro of the song sums it up succinctly. I'm not bitter, only regretful of the time we didn't spend. The laughs we didn't share. The brother you could have been. I miss u so much dude its almost christmas and ill b spending it without you. i wish you woulda told me we coulda figured it out together we always did.
Man this tune really takes me back ❤. The nostalgia is so real. I remember posting this very same photo on my page saying these guys will go far. And now look at you. Amazing :)
One of the few albums I can listen to top to bottom and not have to skip a song because I don't like it. Each song is structured perfectly. Bands with this much talent are really freaking hard to come by.
I am extremely impressed with this album and think it's one of the top 3 albums of 2013, I give this album a solid 5/5 a perfect score, well done gentlemen you've outdone yourselves
Lost someone last night who wasn't blood but they were basically brother to me... this song took on a whole new meaning to me. I dunno if anyone will see this, but please try to reach out to someone if you need help. May not always seem like it, but someone cares.
In 2014, I graduated high school. That fall, I met my best friend and he showed me this band. He had such an amazing impact on me and he was such an incredible friend! Unfortunately in 2021, my best friend died by suicide. I miss him every day. RIP Rudyard 💜
Lyric I wish I knew you more, I wished that feeling away And it always comes back in my head very late When I rest my head to lay My thoughts get the best of me That day the clouds hung over me That day it seems so distant Brother, do you watch over me? Brother, why do you linger inside my mind? You have no business haunting those you loved Don't know exactly where you are In the afterlife? My brother, I cared so much Forced to grow on my own Forced to fill your shoes, and to take on the world Forced to grow on my own Forced to fill your shoes, and to take on the world To take on the world Now time has left me here to heal You disappeared, you disappeared The last thing that I want to do is feel You had a brother, you had a brother Now time has left me here to heal The last thing that I want to do is feel Brother, do you watch over me? Brother, why do you linger inside my mind? Despite what I've said, I'm not bitter Only regretful of the time we didn't spend The laughs we didn't share The brother you could have been
This song speaks out of my soul. I probably never comment videos but it’s the time i have to let the guys and especially trey know that this song means a world to me. Every word touches my heart as my father passed away when i was a young kid. I would say a lot more but anyway: this song and lyrics are so, so, so beautiful.
+David Nigg You can check out (if you don't know em that is) The contortionist, Skyharbor, Tesseract, Modern Day Babylon (instrumental), Outrun the Sunlight (instrumental)

This song does more for me than this band will ever know. thank you sincerely
Its amazing man
Aye
Alex Garibay right there with you brother
agreed sir
Same dude same ❤
Fucken right in the feels when Trey does that last part. Gets me every damn time.
Frankie Hardy the anger, sorrow, and sadness are almost edible
Can't handle it sometimes, makes me so sad, such beautiful song and album.
Fucking same bro
Lyrically speaking, quite a touching song.

@@TragicHeroRecords found Invent, Animate on spotify too just now. This song means a lot to me. It's very good.
this album changed my life
GIGEL
Same here. Isnt that wild
Lost my brother a year ago, this song really hits hard. RIP Chris, i Love and miss you very much brother.
i get tears in my eyes every single time for everyone who has lost their brother and listens to that last minute.
My little brother took his own life 2 weeks ago. We just had his funeral. This will always be my sing for him 🖤😔
I am so sorry for your loss man.
So sorry man. How are you holding up champ?
One of the greatest songs of all time PERIOD. You can't change my mind. Emotional masterpiece. Did everything I needed when one of my best friends took his own life.
❤️
your brother is the most important person you will ever have, cherish them
I agree 100% man brothers are very important and special. Wish you the best
THE FEELS ARE EVERYWHERE OMG. The drummer could legitimately front his own band.
even i think the drummer should be backup and supporting vocals in IA. he literally has potential
If you go on the wiki not only does he provide back up vocals but he always does some guitar as well.
best song of the album
Truer words have never been spoken
It's my least favorite and it's still an amazing song. Shows how much I like this band.
WHY ISN'T THIS BAND MORE POPULAR THAN THIS!?
Static Syndrome cuz it sounds the same as 10 other bands
@@blackpeople7927 They don't, though. Going through lots of their vids tonight and the Northlane comments are getting annoying as hell. Some other bands are similar, as in, in the same genre. IA has a very distinct sound, though.
@@notstarboard I agree, they are unique
Invent Animate is much better than Northlane
@@recklessnotion1899 hey now. Watch what you say
this song randomly came up on my apple music today while i was painting, never heard it before. was unexpectedly bawling my eyes out, so beautiful

The single of my band Against All Oceans - Now or Never, hope you guys like it. 🤘🌊
Late reply but Reflections, more specifically their "color clear" albumb
Currents, if I were you
This made me realize how my brother would feel if I did it.
+Trool what anime are u into btw
life gets better my friend
life is a burden we must learn to live with.
Its like you ripped the thoughts right out of my mind.
Hope you're doing okay. ❤️ I have depression so I know some of the feelings. You are loved!
Tremendously saddening song, Trey's vocals at the end are so impactful, yearning to send a message above, sorry for your massive loss, for Trey and anyone who relates to this song.
"That day the clouds hung over me
Thats day, it seemed so distant".
I'm happy that invent animate is still moving forward but I'm going to miss this
Still one of my top 5 tracks of all time...
It's amazing that the first time I heard this song, I almost knew the story behind it without actually having ever heard about it, just from the lyrics and emotion
I love the atmosphere!
1:16 what a voice and breakdown !!!
This song makes me tear up, I lost my brother a while ago. These lyrics hit deep. On a bright note, Everchanger is an amazing album! 🤘
I love how this also applies to someone who had a brother who just wasn't there for them.
8 years later, I'm older and more tired, yet this song still gives me chills. Such a powerfully emotional masterpiece!
This song is some form of beauty incarnate. Brother, do you watch over me?
So powerful. The last scream on this track, is the most emotional and strong scream I've ever heard, then it fades out and that concludes the album. This album was monumental. 2014 was a good year.
Absolute cold chill giving masterpiece.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the vocalist definitely sounds like Adrian Fitipaldes. (FORMER Northlane vocalist.)
They just have a similar vocal style. He's not quite as good at those airy/melodic mid range stuff as Adrian is though.
this band is very Northlane-ish. don't take this the wrong way but i feel like this is the direction singularity should have gone. (singularity is still one of my favourite albums though). let's hope their new vocalist doesn't change the dynamic of their sound
Riccardo Spadano It's rumored that the new vocalist is Marcus...let us pray that it's not, he would completely ruin the band for me.
MaryJanes HookFromHell I couldn't agree more! They're going to go so soft. They already said that there's going to be much more cleans in the upcoming album. I personally wanted Michael Lawler to win. I thought he NAILED it. Hby?
I personally enjoyed Aeden Cooper's dream awake. About the new album, they said "Rot" is one of the heaviest Northlane songs, that's why i can't picture Marcus getting in, because he has practically no lows or heavy vocals.
this is the lullaby for metalheads i was waiting for
forced to grow on my own
forced to fill your shoes, and to take on the world..
fuck.
This song will nvr get old !!! 🔥 ❤
I freaking cried...Rarely does a song hit this hard. Both music and lyrics express so accurately what this is about. i'm at a loss for words. unbelievable.
Makes me cry every time I hear "THE BROTHER YOU COULD HAVE BEEN!!!"
Amazing. If this doesn't make you emotional, you shouldn't be listening. I love this!
please make more music like this in 2019
Check their new album “greyview” especially the track “shapeshifter”. It has some references to this song
Vocals don’t do it for me
The Memories and Flashbacks that come with listening to this. Breaks my Heart. Appreciate the People you have in your life, you never know when they won't be given another tomorrow.
D3M0N1C SQW3RT yes
this song make feel unspekable sensations, like touch the moon,everything disappear instantly when the song is over
3:07 hits hard af
perfect for those extra fcking reps at the gym
You have no idea how many years i´ve been looking for this music, i feel fulfilled. Thank you for your music.
Damn, I'm in love with that riff at 0:22
even tho i dont have a brother myself this song is so powerful its unreal,it actualy made me tear up
This album came into my life when I needed it. Invent, animate will forever play in my ears ⚡
Oh man this song .. the nostalgia and memories 💜
So much emotion. Such a beautiful song.
The intro always gives me chills
the outro of the song sums it up succinctly.
I'm not bitter,
only regretful of the time
we didn't spend.
The laughs we didn't share.
The brother
you could have been.
I miss u so much dude its almost christmas and ill b spending it without you. i wish you woulda told me we coulda figured it out together we always did.
Can't handle these feels
"The last thing that I want to do is feel" Proceeds to cry like a baby! xD Man this song hit's home.
Open hearts... This song makes me feel the pain and smile and the same time.
Man this tune really takes me back ❤. The nostalgia is so real. I remember posting this very same photo on my page saying these guys will go far. And now look at you. Amazing :)
best music i've ever heard
the opening is so beautiful and emotionally arresting.
Song of the year for me. Absolutely love it.
Had no idea my favorite song from you guys was released on my birthday. Ultra nice. Listen to this just about every day still.

Lyric
I wish I knew you more, I wished that feeling away
And it always comes back in my head very late
When I rest my head to lay
My thoughts get the best of me
That day the clouds hung over me
That day it seems so distant
Brother, do you watch over me?
Brother, why do you linger inside my mind?
You have no business haunting those you loved
Don't know exactly where you are
In the afterlife?
My brother, I cared so much
Forced to grow on my own
Forced to fill your shoes, and to take on the world
Forced to grow on my own
Forced to fill your shoes, and to take on the world
To take on the world
Now time has left me here to heal
You disappeared, you disappeared
The last thing that I want to do is feel
You had a brother, you had a brother
Now time has left me here to heal
The last thing that I want to do is feel
Brother, do you watch over me?
Brother, why do you linger inside my mind?
Despite what I've said, I'm not bitter
Only regretful of the time we didn't spend
The laughs we didn't share
The brother you could have been
This is seriously one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life
Damn. These lyrics. Holy shit
When you get goosebumps from listening to a song, you know its good!!!
One of the most under appreciated IA tracks
Holy fuck this hit me hard as fuck.
I'm not gonna lie, yeah I cry when I hear this song
I lost my best friend to suicide I considered him as a brother and I miss him every day.
I offer my deepest condolences I’m very sorry for your loss
Seeing this live will forever be in my heart ❤️
I need an instrumental to this
This song speaks out of my soul. I probably never comment videos but it’s the time i have to let the guys and especially trey know that this song means a world to me. Every word touches my heart as my father passed away when i was a young kid. I would say a lot more but anyway: this song and lyrics are so, so, so beautiful.
The riffs give me goosebumps and the lyrics make my heart swell
this song is my saviour
Oh hey, I'm crying again.
This is one of the most amazing song that I've heard in such a long time. Thank you for it.
Man this song hit me so hard when I finally heard it live. This song will always hold a special place in my heart
This song brought me closer to my brothers. Thank you
Anyone know any bands that have this amazing mood in their songs? I love mellow/powerful choruses like this
+David Nigg You can check out (if you don't know em that is) The contortionist, Skyharbor, Tesseract, Modern Day Babylon (instrumental), Outrun the Sunlight (instrumental)
