I know Tim said this song is about becoming a parent, but I feel like it also fits the context of a complicated romance quite well. Two people who seem to always be having problems, but are determined to get through it
To me this song means being in a very fragile relationship where she is not sure about anything but all I want is to make her happy and sacrifice very much to achieve this. All I want is to show her that and this song fits Perfectly IMHO
This suits this song so well. What a fantastic way to start a Friday morning. Thinks guys. Hope there are more songs from this set coming. The most consistently good band in the world. Please come back to South Africa again. We miss you.
"I can see the storms in her eyes now I'm falling overboard in the waves In over my head and she's a high tide That keeps pushing me away I thought that we would build this together But everything I touch just seems to break Am I your sail or your anchor? Am I the calm or the hurricane? I feel the ground start to shake I hear a voice shouting move But there is no fucking way I'd leave you So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, ohohohoh And like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, ohohohoh Is the soundtrack to our lives The bang of a slamming door What happens when we all start to feel like Nothing matters anymore Every day like a chambered round, a trigger pulled A hammer click, a breath we hold A world outside I can't control No matter what I do So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, ohohohoh And like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, ohohohoh How is it a thing That we just wanna hurt each other I'm waiting out the rain Feels like it's gonna rain forever Someday you will learn That all I ever did was for you And I would do it all again I would do it all again 'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, ohohohoh And like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I can't let go of you, ohohohoh Of you, ohohohoh Of you, ohohohoh Of you, ohohohoh Of you " ✊💖
Put my head phones on, vibed, and thought of my own daughter when she hits the dreaded teen years..man that sudden eruption of the rest of the band coming in at that first chorus actually made my eyes water. This is why rise against has been my favourite band for 11 years, you make me feel shit. Love you guys
2004, never looked back. Rise against always does great acoustic stuff...But still love those bangers like State of the Union, Torches, Give It all, Bricks, Megaphone, Sometimes Selling Out is Giving Up....etc.
True love is not something we choose, it just happends so even if you know deep inside that grenade will blow up at one point you still hold it tightly.
Raidra -Eclipse its more like what comes after love breaks apart and within a glimp of an eye your house is on fire walls are comming down and your world breaks apart. Believe me i know how that feels . Just as they discribe it its like a handgrenade and if you still need to interact with the person you love but she doesnt its like touching a razorblade, every move carful and the razorblade doesnt care if it hurts you but it will cut deep and you are the one bleeding .
Exactly, thats why i chose to let her go completely and loose contact cause as much as i want to know how she is doing it just hurt too much, love sucks honestly but i am glad i got to experience true love and dont get me wrong it still hurts but its easier to bear this way.
I'm currently going through a really sad breakup now and this album was my saving grace. I've always been a fan of rise against but this album became my favorite from them because of this.
I love how this song depicts a life long parent/child relationship. One which I am 8 years into and this song really hits the nail on the head. A love that is unbreakable where the parent can be hurt by the child but love them unconditionally none the less. While also acknowledging the parents own inadequacies. Summing them feelings up in just over 3 minutes is a tough task. Tim McIlrath is a true lyrical genius
I got into Rise Against many years ago, and since then, even though my music tastes have changed quite a bit, I can never stop listening to them. There is something about their music that keeps bringing me back! ❤
I can see the storms in her eyes now I'm falling overboard in the waves In over my head and she's a high tide That keeps pushing me away I thought that we would build this together But everything I touch just seems to break Am I your sail or your anchor? Am I the calm or the hurricane? I feel the ground start to shake I hear a voice shouting "Move" But there is no fucking way I'd leave you So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh But is the soundtrack to our lives The bang of a slamming door What happens when we all start to feel like Nothing matters anymore Every day like a chambered round, a trigger pulled A hammer click, a breath we hold A world outside I can't control No matter what I do So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh How is it a thing That we just wanna hurt each other I'm waiting out the rain 'Cause life is gonna rain forever Someday you will learn That all I ever did was for you And I would do it all again I would do it all again 'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh Of you (oh oh) Of you (oh oh) Of you (oh oh) Of you
I feel like Ghost Note Symphonies was made so Tim, the bands voice, could slowly heal his vocal cords, and the rest supported him, giving a deeper meaning to the entire album. Sometimes change is important. Sometimes we need time to heal. Maybe that was the point, maybe it wasn’t, I’m not sure, but it was really beautiful.
Woah this is insane!! Yesterday, I was reminiscing on old times, so I broke the replay button on ‘Give it All.’ Good to know these guys make new music!
All my friends are exited about the new five finger death punch album which was released today and I was just so fucking happy to see a new rise against video, listening to tims voice really made my day a lot better
Still remember when you came to Mexico. In that time i had some serius problems with my couple and you guy's, help me out a lot. Rise aganist is and will be the best band. Underrated, but for does who you know will always be the best band
I know Tim said this song is about becoming a parent, but I feel like it also fits the context of a complicated romance quite well. Two people who seem to always be having problems, but are determined to get through it
Laurence White having a child in early September, and tbh, this song now describes what I've been feeling but couldn't quite place O.O
That's why these guys are one of my favorite bands
i think the same too
Just saw them in concert like 3 days ago singing this exact version, he said it was a love song between two people
To me this song means being in a very fragile relationship where she is not sure about anything but all I want is to make her happy and sacrifice very much to achieve this. All I want is to show her that and this song fits Perfectly IMHO
This suits this song so well. What a fantastic way to start a Friday morning. Thinks guys. Hope there are more songs from this set coming. The most consistently good band in the world. Please come back to South Africa again. We miss you.
Dean Boshoff this band literally saved my life.... over 15 years ago.... so thankful for this band good or bad it makes no matter to me...
This band has gotten me through so many rough patches.
Well, instead of checking out a song or 2 on UA-cam, pick up Ghost Note Symphonies Part 1. It has 10 such songs on it, from a few different albums.

A must hear !!!!!!!!!!
I had this version in my head the other day again and I just love it.
"I can see the storms in her eyes now
I'm falling overboard in the waves
In over my head and she's a high tide
That keeps pushing me away
I thought that we would build this together
But everything I touch just seems to break
Am I your sail or your anchor?
Am I the calm or the hurricane?
I feel the ground start to shake
I hear a voice shouting move
But there is no fucking way
I'd leave you
So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
You touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now, ohohohoh
And like a house on fire we're up in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I won't let go of you, ohohohoh
Is the soundtrack to our lives
The bang of a slamming door
What happens when we all start to feel like
Nothing matters anymore
Every day like a chambered round, a trigger pulled
A hammer click, a breath we hold
A world outside I can't control
No matter what I do
So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade
You touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now, ohohohoh
And like a house on fire we're up in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I won't let go of you, ohohohoh
How is it a thing
That we just wanna hurt each other
I'm waiting out the rain
Feels like it's gonna rain forever
Someday you will learn
That all I ever did was for you
And I would do it all again
I would do it all again
'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade
You touch me like a razor blade
I wish there was some other way right now, ohohohoh
And like a house on fire we're up in flames
I'd burn here if that's what it takes
To let you know I can't let go of you, ohohohoh
Of you, ohohohoh
Of you, ohohohoh
Of you, ohohohoh
Of you " ✊💖

I love how the drummer (Brandon) is used to like slamming on the drums and shit and you just see him lightly tapping on it in the back 😂
Blazing_Blaziken he looks sad also
Kinda surprised he's sitting upright and not as slouched as he seems in some videos
Jay Holmes My back hurts everytime I watch him play 😂 He's still my favorite drummer of all time though (with Tre Cool)
Hes good enough to a gentle beast or a raging demon lol.
he was never the type of drummer who would totally destroy his drummset. He plays live with the same kind of calmness as he does here :D
Put my head phones on, vibed, and thought of my own daughter when she hits the dreaded teen years..man that sudden eruption of the rest of the band coming in at that first chorus actually made my eyes water. This is why rise against has been my favourite band for 11 years, you make me feel shit. Love you guys
Greg, listen.
I fkn LOVE this extraordinary album. And he wrote some of the best lyrical poetry EVER.
i love that his voice isn’t as clean as most people i hear. it’s so unique and also very good to cry to
I really love acoustic versions
ua-cam.com/video/I7UjlrhZ57Q/v-deo.html
A must hear !!!!!!!!!!
I love that song and this version is beautiful
His voice gives me chills. I cant imagine any human being not loving them. Forever my favorite.
Tim i love your songs since the unraveling in 2001
damn, 2001, we've come a long way, still headbanging to rise against
leonardo carrillo villanueva I loved the unraveling since two months ago😁
I jumped on board in 2009!!! =D
Jumped on board 2014!
2004, never looked back. Rise against always does great acoustic stuff...But still love those bangers like State of the Union, Torches, Give It all, Bricks, Megaphone, Sometimes Selling Out is Giving Up....etc.
The tone of Zach's guitar is absolutely gorgeous, when he comes in with that riff for the chorus... Oh man
It's SHINING 💖💖💖💖

Raidra -Eclipse with interact i mean still living together ... and the blade cuts every day when she doesnt care anymore while im waiting
Emotional as fuck. the blade cuts? what the fuck. Quit being weird and just find another chick instead of crying about it weirdos.
Then why are you listening to this band? go away weirdo.
Acoustic videos are my weakspot, thanks for this
Right and vocals only love them

This is so good but you must hear “The Wave Acoustic” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🎸🤘🔥
This is the version of this song I love most. You guys nailed this 100% Love your music 🎶
This is so good! I have this and Whispering Wolf by SLT on repeat all day :) !!!:) !!!!!!!!
La mejor banda 💙 Love Rise Against..
Man, I just love this songs, from how they sound, to the meaning they have, you are the best Rise Against.

Of you
I'm not crying, you're crying...
(seriously, this version is just beautiful, can't wait to hear the rest of Ghost Note Symphonies)
I was just expecting the acoustic guitar, this is pretty fucking good

Italy loves Rise Against! 🇮🇹 Can't wait for the whole album, this acoustic version sounds deep and full of emotions
Ghost note symphonies is such a great album
This acoustic version is really powerful, I love it!
Best love song ever!!!!!!!!
This is so good! I have this and Whispering Wolf by SLT on repeat all day :) !!!:)!!!

I know Rise Against is famous for their punk, screaming stuff, but I honestly think this is the best album ever.

Make a god damn acoustic album already, you are so good at it. It doesn't need to be new tracks.
This is actually what this video is about. Ghost Note Symphonies will be the new acoustic album
95DeathScythe I hoped that, it just threw me off when I clicked the link because of the naming. If that's the case I am so hyped
Yeah it should be pretty much confirmed by now, you should check out their teaser on the facebook page with the intro to Like The Angel!

Deep lyrics in a song that sounds amazing as always.
I'm seeing them live on the 31st of July and I'm losing my mind.
This band literally saved my life and saw me through my darkest moments

Listening to this at 3:23 am. Thank you.
Most underrated band ever!
Thomas Johnson but not as popular as they should be. Thusly, underrated
They're actually one of the most well known punk bands of this moment fam
de man they arent that 'punk' anymore
They're phenomenal but they aren't even remotely underrated my guy
10 years is the most under rated. Rise against is quite known
There are no words for how much I love rise against! ❤
so beautiful
Amo esta banda
Real music. 'Nuff said.
This song really helped me when I had a hard time in a relationship. Thanks guys!
I am currently obsessed with this!
Insane bassline hahaha! Love the acoustic version of the song!
So awesome! gives me the shivers
Love it! See yall in austin!
Still my favourite band, will always be my favourite band.
Perfect to finish my week ... thanks
