What do the greatest stories ever told always have? Love Murder And Split Personalities. Poor guy's hunting down himself. That really is the greatest story ever told. And this band is legit.
It's kinda scary how many people are commenting about how this is a romantic song. This is a song about a guy who murdered his girlfriend because she left him and then invented an imaginary murderer to shift blame away from himself. This is not a romantic song, this is a horror song. A really good one.
Ok but what if the guy actually "blacked out" when he was killing the girl and has absolutely no memory about it? Like he has multiple personality disorder and got some dissociative amnesia? Like it could be that too, like he actually has no idea he did it himself and is literally hunting himself down without knowing
You spelled "the greatest song sang by them ever" wrong. Also, this song is literally the pinicle of Ice Nine Kill songs. It has love, murder, and a story in it, all the traits of an INK song.
Me too Asdjshfj! I like it when he says "And ill drain your blood and mail it to your mother, she'll discover what a mess you've become Well i think she might like that.. WELL I FUCKING DO!"
His prison is his own mind. He killed his wife and some other chick and I'm pretty sure he falls into despair and kills himself. Which, in turn, kills the murderer...
I love this band... This is the best fucking band, period! Ladies and gentlemen open your ears and your hearts for "The Greatest Story Ever Told" performed by Ice Nine Kills!
BEST song ever, I freaking love their new music but there's nothing better than their good ol tracks like these. I wonder if we'll get more original songs like this after the Silver Scream album
i just noticed something, one of the first lines is "Am i dreaming A G A I N" so this goes for the multi personality thing, when he falls asleep the other side takesover
God damn. I used to listen to them so much and hearing this for the first time since middle school just gave me a huge amount of chills and nostalgia. Great fucking song
haha same here man. nostalgia like crazy, many memories lmao. P.S to all these kids trying to grow up fast. stop wishing to grow up for fucks sake, by the time you do you'll wish you were a kid again. and if you do grow up fast it won't be for a good reason I promise you that. enjoy that time and don't waste it cause it will never be enough.
Came back to relive this nostalgia this is the first and pretty much the only screaming heavy metal song that I recall really liking think I was like 8 when I first heard it and just jammed out to it lol. I remembered all the words too 😭
"Oh please God no!", It really does give chills, I almost tear up, the contrast of dream and reality. It actually sounds a little more powerful in this version although, I prefer the originals "Last night I dreamed.....and everyone was there..." it really builds up like he's telling a story, getting excited with happy thoughts, then shock horror reality...I dunno. Song is great in both, singing is better in this one though....but I kinda like raw sounding vocals better...
+Aydan Hoang FLW are from my home state... i actually watched them live when they first started... so much energy. i love the song 'The Show Must Go On' by them
I jammed to this in 8th grade. Loved it - went to look up music from them after didn't like it was confused. Heard rainy day on the radio and was ultimately found thus song again. I am very happy xD
He probably has. He's just in awe at how the lyrics tell a story and express so much. Admit, even with really good bands, that's very difficult to do while still sounding good and not being extremely long.
You are confused then ... I relate because somebody did something to me but I'd rather not talk about it.. but I don't mind if you're scared of me.. haha I am sunshine after all so that could be funny
Ive been listening to this band since every trick in the book and i just decided to look at some of their older music and i am in love the musicality of this piece its very impressive and the story telling reminds me of classic short stories from Edgar Allan Poe like a mix of Annebelle Lee and The Tell Tale Heart. Sickeningly beautiful I love it.
He's a very cool person to hang around. I saw him again last friday in Boonton. Me and my friend got to hang out with him for quite a while before their set started. They were just chilling outside since it's a small venue. But yeah. I get to talk to him a lot :D He even posted one of my youtube videos on the band page.
Yo, this ties so well with the story going going on in their newer music videos. Wouldn't it be nuts if the "Greatest Story Ever Told" is the story they're telling with all of their newer stuff? 😂
it's about a murder in Texas where a guys split personality got his girlfriend killed and he then killed the murderer, who was himself. but yeah the horror vibes here are strong
That could actually work. The murderer in The Silver Scream albums could be Spencer's split personality, and he doesn't realize it was himself, so, like in this song, he tracks the murderer down and kills him.
Fuck man, these guys put so much work in. Interesting melodies with those little filler guitar licks, super dense and creative lyricism. This band had me hooked at a time when most emo/metalcore/whatever was boring me to tears.
Kinda like a Jekyll and Hyde thing here, isn't it? Once the Protagonist is a romantic who mourns over his killed GF, who he himself has actually killed, and then swears he'll kill the Sonofabitch. Second Verse: "am I dreaming again?" Implies he's stuck in a state he's got no control over his body, and that this happened at least once before. Verse "I'm not a violent man, but people can change" could mean that he's usually really a person who couldn't hurt a fly, but is willing to give in to the inner Psycho and kill the Murderer, oblivious to the fact that it's him. Or maybe he knows and prepares to kill himself in a one-person-two-minds kinda fight. I dunno tho, that's just a theory. This song is on of the Best of I9K either way.
Ok, well i am a person who literally loves any type of hard core of metalcore, or anything. And personally, i loved the original version of this song, i loved these guys before they got metal, and i love the fact that they went in such a different direction. These guys are hands down brilliant and should be recognized on a much higher level. People need to stop hating and just enjoy the music
I love ice nine kills! This song is honestly one of my favorites by them! If anyone wants new music to listen to that is kinda like them you should listen to mayday parade! They are a little less heavy but still I think you should give them a try! They are coming out with a new album on October 9th! Its called black lines and all ice nine kills fans should give them a try!
America Bell It's in reference to the song and how it is about a psychotic guy who killed his lover, and how ironic it is that your "protective boyfriend" recommended it to you
Fuck me. This song is so good everytime. I play it at least once a week for my husband while singing and screaming with Spencer and he hates it. My taste in music is much better than his but I love him.
I've listened to this song a few times now and I have an alternative theory about the story. There was a singer and a girl in a happy relationship. He thought and hoped they would get married someday. One day a man shows up in the girls life. Friends, coworkers, what have you. The man starts to lust after the girl. The man then pins a violent crime on the singer and the singer get put behind bars for some time. The girl and the man get together after that. The singer knows what happened and he knows the man is a psycho. The singer trys to worn the girl about the man, but she believes the singer is a violet person that she doesn't want anything to do with. One day the girl goes missing. The singer finds out and vows to take revenge on the man. The singer plans on stalking and killing the man when he gets out and calling the cops to show what he's done. This will result in a life sentence for the singer. The singer gave his life to the girl. The man took it away. The song had a lot of hints to this story line. I don't much like the idea the singer killed his girlfriend and is denying it. If I'm just rehashing the actual story or what others have said. Whoops
There needs to be a music video for this. I know I'm not alone on this one.
Once my art skills get better I'm absolutely animating it
What do the greatest stories ever told always have?
Love
Murder
And Split Personalities.
Poor guy's hunting down himself.
That really is the greatest story ever told.
And this band is legit.
It's not an Ice Nine Kills song if it isn't about love, murder, or stories.
This song is possibly the pinicle of Ice Nine Kill songs.
I think its called that because he told himself this story to protect hinself from a harsh reality
It's kinda scary how many people are commenting about how this is a romantic song. This is a song about a guy who murdered his girlfriend because she left him and then invented an imaginary murderer to shift blame away from himself. This is not a romantic song, this is a horror song. A really good one.
Oh shit son I didn't think of it like that. It's brilliant.
Ok but what if the guy actually "blacked out" when he was killing the girl and has absolutely no memory about it? Like he has multiple personality disorder and got some dissociative amnesia? Like it could be that too, like he actually has no idea he did it himself and is literally hunting himself down without knowing
Bannanasaurus Rex we are entering the matrix
***** o shit
dragemis the story line reminds me of famous last words' the the show must go on
I don't think its healthy how many times I've listened to this in the last 24 hours
Same TBH
Yuup
me, literally everyday
This is your reminder to listen to it on repeat some more
Still their best song ever.
Stanislavs Jablonskis
the greatest?
Stanislavs Jablonskis that's just your opinion
serena nicole triggered?
agreed
You spelled "the greatest song sang by them ever" wrong.
Also, this song is literally the pinicle of Ice Nine Kill songs. It has love, murder, and a story in it, all the traits of an INK song.
I AM SOOOOOO OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG!!!!
Me too!
Me too Asdjshfj! I like it when he says
"And ill drain your blood and mail it to your mother, she'll discover what a mess you've become
Well i think she might like that.. WELL I FUCKING DO!"
Saaaame ahhhhhh awesome!!!!!
Me too :3
It kind of sounds like it could be in a musical. Maybe its just me though
I think the same.
A lot of their songs are like that. especially nowadays.
Ali Trumbley they're actually classified as theatrical rock or something like that.. I dig it though lol.. I love the stories their songs tell

His prison is his own mind. He killed his wife and some other chick and I'm pretty sure he falls into despair and kills himself. Which, in turn, kills the murderer...
I love this band... This is the best fucking band, period! Ladies and gentlemen open your ears and your hearts for "The Greatest Story Ever Told" performed by Ice Nine Kills!
still remember the day i heard this on myspace and they've been one of favorite bands ever since.
BEST song ever, I freaking love their new music but there's nothing better than their good ol tracks like these. I wonder if we'll get more original songs like this after the Silver Scream album
Funeral Derangements has old-school vibes
i just noticed something, one of the first lines is "Am i dreaming A G A I N" so this goes for the multi personality thing, when he falls asleep the other side takesover
God damn. I used to listen to them so much and hearing this for the first time since middle school just gave me a huge amount of chills and nostalgia. Great fucking song
haha same here man. nostalgia like crazy, many memories lmao.

There's not a day that goes by that I don't listen to this greatest composition ever made.
this should be called the greatest song ever wrote
Yes, yes it should
That's a subjective statement.
tristin rowland eh beg to differ

Oh my god you're such a tool lol.
I hope you've grown up
The screaming in this song is nostalgic!
Been a fan of Ice for six or seven years.
Still amazing since the days of Purevolume.
Love it.
Came back to relive this nostalgia this is the first and pretty much the only screaming heavy metal song that I recall really liking think I was like 8 when I first heard it and just jammed out to it lol. I remembered all the words too 😭
I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG
Same, mine lasted a few days xD
this band is great.
Franklin Damico seeing them at warped July 2017 🤘😍💖
rachel krats are they on your states lineup? they're not on Minnesota's, and I'm a sad bean.
rachel krats Wait, they're on warped this year??? They were on last year
"Oh please God no!", It really does give chills, I almost tear up, the contrast of dream and reality.

One of the few bands where I just love like every song of every album! :D
This and Play Hide And Seek With Jealousy - Famous Last Words two of my favourite songs. :D
Aydan Hoang Famous Last Words is my favoriteee band
Aydan Hoang Check out the song Fading Memories, my favorite song by them. Awesome fuckin band though, way underrated
Kellan Ammann Fading Memories's last part with the buildup of the drums into the breakdown is awesome
+Aydan Hoang FLW are from my home state... i actually watched them live when they first started... so much energy. i love the song 'The Show Must Go On' by them
+Aydan Hoang same
This is one of the only songs that gets me through the night
They were the best out of all the bands on Saturday night. Great concert.
And this is why more people need to hear this band..
I jammed to this in 8th grade. Loved it - went to look up music from them after didn't like it was confused. Heard rainy day on the radio and was ultimately found thus song again. I am very happy xD
I think she might like this song... WELL I FUCKING DO!
Great Job, Guys!
+Yaku Shimuna nice one
Cant beleive it's been 9 years, INK is the first band I saw and loved right away
This is still my favorite song by them even now.
I can listen to this over and over again. gawd i love horror songs.
This song is really sad to think about. But it's so beautiful
Just found this band from a We Came As Romans post on facebook and i am already in love. This Band Is AMAZING!!!!
"I gave my life but you took it away."
...favorite line
Still my all time favorite song ever!
how nostalgic this song, its been a long year since i last played this...
This song thou... Wow miss the old days!!
He probably has. He's just in awe at how the lyrics tell a story and express so much. Admit, even with really good bands, that's very difficult to do while still sounding good and not being extremely long.
This band is the best there is right now it's perfect.
That is a subjective statement.
Been listening to this song for at least years now...still resonates in me. Amazing song
The guy I like loves this band and they’re are so good.
I'm amazed at how much I relate to this song... love it
If you relate to this song I'm kinda scared for you
You are confused then ... I relate because somebody did something to me but I'd rather not talk about it.. but I don't mind if you're scared of me.. haha I am sunshine after all so that could be funny
haha ok yeah my bad just a misunderstanding
lol it's all good.. no problem :)
have a good night/day :D
Safe is just a shadow is probably their best album, still.
Now it's the silver scream
xXselfishmachineXx silver scream has to be one of the worst
@@MrCrakerjack99 No.
The Silver Scream is a phenomenal CD.
Safe Is Just A Shadow is the best
the original version is how I found these guys! it was great but I'm so glad they cleaned it up! uggg just so good!!
Ive been listening to this band since every trick in the book and i just decided to look at some of their older music and i am in love the musicality of this piece its very impressive and the story telling reminds me of classic short stories from Edgar Allan Poe like a mix of Annebelle Lee and The Tell Tale Heart. Sickeningly beautiful I love it.
Also this was written when i was 4😂
(a.k.a when i became a metal head)
Thank you Raditaz for introducing me to this awesome band
He's a very cool person to hang around. I saw him again last friday in Boonton.

Their evolution really makes me so happy
Listening to ice nine kills while playing dark souls is the best!!!!!
Fuck man, these guys put so much work in. Interesting melodies with those little filler guitar licks, super dense and creative lyricism. This band had me hooked at a time when most emo/metalcore/whatever was boring me to tears.
Cause you've stolen the
love of my life
So you' ll be sleeping with

One word
AMAZING!!!!!
Lol a friend of mine was REALLY into this band like 2 years ago..I'm just here for nostalgia

3:00 - 3:17 best part of the song💯💯
his voice bro😫
Saw these guys live in 2017-18?? Probably the last concert I will ever go to cause of Covid. Rip The Champ Lemoyne, PA
How is it I used to listen to this song in 2007 but it was on one of their albums in 2010? Did they release the single before?
They have remastered the song multiple times
great song, can't stop listening to it.👍
9 years? Time flies
Im in love with this song.... *____________*
Oh 11th grade. love it
Omigosh. My boyfriend recommended this to me in his protective nature
wtf
America Bell your still alive right?
thewraith50
Yeah, I'm still alive. Who's this?
America Bell It's in reference to the song and how it is about a psychotic guy who killed his lover, and how ironic it is that your "protective boyfriend" recommended it to you
Johnny Touchet
Well, that kid wasn't exactly for me. I broke up with him. Now I'm happily engaged. So yeah.
This is absolutely amazing
SO EXCITED FOR RE RELEASE
it could be a nostalgic thing. the old version is basically the song that got me into these guys
Amazing song.
How did I just find this song now
I wanna see these guys live againnn
Anyone still listening to this is August 2018?
I get why everyone likes the older version better, but I have to say the bass work in this version is a million times better.
I saw them on Saturday and they were really good :)
Boston represent

Myspace days. Gahdamn..

That's disturbing, make sure he doesn't kill you and bury you.

I love this song! Anyone agree?
Heck yeah 👍👍👍👍👍

The singer gave his life to the girl.
The man took it away.
The song had a lot of hints to this story line. I don't much like the idea the singer killed his girlfriend and is denying it.
If I'm just rehashing the actual story or what others have said. Whoops
Fighting in these twisted tunnels of their lies brother I got you
awsome keep it up ice
Oh he'll yeah!!! CONCERT TOMORROW!!!
okay but 2:38 jnhfsin yes im commenting to save the great part of the song i keep repeating
This version is SOOO much better. The first one was good, but this one I get chills by listening to it. It's AWESOME SAUCE!!! :D
This is my favorite ice nine kills song.
this song is amazing.
I've seen these guys live 4 times (will be 5 on 4/12/19) and they have yet to play this song live.
