This is one of my favorite billy talent songs lyrically. The lyrics are just fantastic. "Cant even sell my soul 'cause it aint worth shit to take" "I found the key to life, the lock was broken" They are gold.
I thought for the longest time the lyrics for the second verse were, "Follow the rainbow, my lucky OLD MAN. There ain't no pot of gold, jus' COUPLE tokens." hahahahaha
Tier Chen Did you just call Billy Talent underground? Do you know what underground even means? Do you even know what a "one hit wonder" is? Becausr they are neither. Thye are really succesfull and are reaaalyyy big in germany and canada. This song doesn't even have that many views in comparison to the other ones. Educate yourself before you talk shit.
big in germany and canada haha gz than its of course right this band will still rock in 20 years like metalica and iron maiden ... totally the same lvl :D how can i call them underground they are so famous and everybody knows dozen names from there tracks xD and dont forget about all the top 10 charthits :D i mean some years later and everybody is talking about billy talent .... they are just to legendary pls go and educate yourself before u tell other ppl to educate them just becuz your definition of a word without a official scale to measure it issnt the same like the definition from other ppl vs iron maiden and metallica (iam not a fan) billy fucking talent is a undergroundband ... and even the comparison of these bands is +pure bullshit thats the point ... what next? comparing tupac and drake or jacko and psy ...fanboys these days lol
I like how the first few seconds of the intro is only in the left side, then the right side can be heard to represent your angel speaking to you from your left shoulder, and then the demon on your other shoulder appearing and screaming louder.
"Devil On My Shoulder" As I get closer, my dreams get farther I climb that ladder, but you kick it over Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker I dug a hole so deep I'm gonna drown in my mistakes Can't even sell my soul 'Cause it ain't worth shit to take I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens I found the key to life, the lock was broken All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken I dug a hole so deep I'm gonna drown in my mistakes Can't even sell my soul 'Cause it ain't worth shit to take I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) My horror story is nearly over I said I'm sorry, but I was sober I beg for mercy from my infernal friend The one that drops the nails into my coffin I got the devil on my shoulder I got the devil on my shoulder I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over) And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower) They got to take me, take me over (closer and closer) I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
I'm hearing this for the first time, and bro....What a sound! This is one of the most amazing guitar grooves I've ever heard, the guitar player is phenomenal. Billy Talent is such an incredible and totally original band!❤️
loved them as a teen and finally saw them live a few weeks ago. since then, Ben's voice has burrowed into my brain and I can't get it out, nor do I want to.
Was at the show in Calgary last night and Ben would sing "I've got the devil on my shoulder" and the audience sung "Over and Over" as loud as they could. It was awesome!
you know it's the worst when you're writing a test in uni and you got his awesome song stuck in your head. Thanks Billy Talent that i probably screwed this test, but love the song!
House of Blues, Boston, MA, 2010 - had no idea who the opening act to Rise Against was, but when they came on stage, they were a force, and since then I've been enthralled in all of it. Billy Talent I to Afraid of Heights, they'll always be a favorite of mine.
billy talent,is my favorite music group,im a fan of billy.the devil on my shoulder and river to below r my preferer song of all song of billy.tks billy for ur good music.
I seen them once. In Truro Nova Scotia. I screamed encore by myself for a good 5 mins at the top of my lungs and finally more people from the crowd started to shout it with me. They came back out and played 4 more songs one of the best nights of my life
Fun fact: As far as I’m concerned Billy Talent makes a sequel from the self title album since 2006 like The Devil In a midnight mass related to The Devil On my shoulder in 2009 all the sudden.
Dead silence tour at bristol 02 arena when ben sang the lines "i got the devil on my shoulder" and got is to sing over and over, i sang that with a booming voice. My 1st ever concert started with this band and i thank them for coming to Bristol 02 arena again during the afraid of heights tour too
I woke up to this song at 4 am after puking my guts up and falling asleep to some Green Day on Spotify shuffle play. I screenshotted it cuz it sounded great, and fell asleep. Now I love all of Billy Talent’s stuff.
So good. My faves are this one, Try Honesty, Devil In A Midnight Mass, and so much more. I saw their concert at Stampede this summer and it was SO SICK.
Gotta say, though I don't like Ben's voice too much, Billy Talent has some of my favorite songs. The lyrics are actually insanely good, which is a welcomed rarity these days.
I love the lyrics cause everything comes from the heart of the most run down part of the city he's from as so am I (referring to Vancouver) shit is too good
I remember the first time when I heard this song. Now it has been 4 years and I still love this song. Billy Talent is the best band. I hope they will keep making good music
I saw them at download in 09, the best thing was that before i assumed the vocals used effects or something to make them higher and distorted, nope his voice really sounds like that! Pretty awesome show tbh
at this moment they've got exactly 110k subscribers. Congrats Billy Talent! 2022 Update: They've more than doubled their subscriber count since then, sitting now at 276k. Congrats again!
![Papercut [Official HD Music Video] - Linkin Park](/img/n.gif)
How this band didn't make it to the mainstream is beyond me at this point. Years later.
Yeah there a lot of shit bands that made it big
they made it kinda big? pretty famous in my country in europe. not the biggest but not bad too.
They didn't sell their souls for starters
They were played on the radio regularly late 2000s and early 10s
This is one of my favorite billy talent songs lyrically. The lyrics are just fantastic. "Cant even sell my soul 'cause it aint worth shit to take" "I found the key to life, the lock was broken" They are gold.
i think tears into wine is better lyrically
I thought for the longest time the lyrics for the second verse were, "Follow the rainbow, my lucky OLD MAN. There ain't no pot of gold, jus' COUPLE tokens." hahahahaha
The "couple" mistake I did too, but "old man" is just weird af LOL
one of my fav songs to play on guitar aswell, Ian makes sick riffs
What about Viking Death March?
The main riff in this is honestly one of the greatest riffs ever written. It gets me hype as fuck every single time.
true
and the solo is just perfection!
I love the stereo at the beginning
Yup
this band will still be rocking in 20 years ,like Iron maden or metallica , this type of bands will never break apart.
Hard to tell, sadly, the drummer have multiple sclerosis..
Dont see that being true, 2 years later and they dont have much going on.
typical fanboy comment who thinks his random 1 hit wonder underground band is so legendary and will rock forever xD
Tier Chen Did you just call Billy Talent underground? Do you know what underground even means? Do you even know what a "one hit wonder" is? Becausr they are neither. Thye are really succesfull and are reaaalyyy big in germany and canada. This song doesn't even have that many views in comparison to the other ones. Educate yourself before you talk shit.
big in germany and canada haha gz
than its of course right this band will still rock in 20 years like metalica and iron maiden ... totally the same lvl :D how can i call them underground they are so famous and everybody knows dozen names from there tracks xD and dont forget about all the top 10 charthits :D
i mean some years later and everybody is talking about billy talent .... they are just to legendary
pls go and educate yourself before u tell other ppl to educate them just becuz your definition of a word without a official scale to measure it issnt the same like the definition from other ppl
vs iron maiden and metallica (iam not a fan) billy fucking talent is a undergroundband ... and even the comparison of these bands is +pure bullshit thats the point ... what next? comparing tupac and drake or jacko and psy ...fanboys these days lol
After so many years I started listening to them again ... Not understanding why I Ever stopped
me too
this itself situation
Wow same here. Weird.
Same
I rediscover them every year or so. And every time I'm like shit this is such a good band.
I like how the first few seconds of the intro is only in the left side, then the right side can be heard to represent your angel speaking to you from your left shoulder, and then the demon on your other shoulder appearing and screaming louder.
Daaaaaaamn i was always asking my Self Why it is Like that
One of the best riffs of all time.
I'll never understand how Ian wrote so many legendary riffs
Beetoven style, apparently my previous employer's spouse went to school with them. Woooow! Such a small world 😮
made a deal with the devil
"Devil On My Shoulder"
As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker
I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken
I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
My horror story is nearly over
I said I'm sorry, but I was sober
I beg for mercy from my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails into my coffin
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
They got to take me, take me over (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
What 10 years ago? Damn dude, time is fast as hell, but still a great song in 2020.
I looked at the date and I couldn't believe it. It seemed like yesterday that the song was on MTV
@@FR4NKYEtheIV MTV o.O
*I haven't heard that name I'm years*
yessssssssssssss
fuck off with those comments
this is one of the most underrated bands I've ever come across, like all of their songs are so perfect
I'm hearing this for the first time, and bro....What a sound! This is one of the most amazing guitar grooves I've ever heard, the guitar player is phenomenal. Billy Talent is such an incredible and totally original band!❤️
They are a quality band they just need to get back to doing this more than trying to stay popular
One of the most underrated bands
Very true!!
underrated haha sure
Agreed ☝🏽
so true
They are underrated. This band has more jams than any other since the early 00s
loved them as a teen and finally saw them live a few weeks ago. since then, Ben's voice has burrowed into my brain and I can't get it out, nor do I want to.
Was at the show in Calgary last night and Ben would sing "I've got the devil on my shoulder" and the audience sung "Over and Over" as loud as they could. It was awesome!
very rarely do I find a band that has the 'it'. Billy Talent has it on all fronts. end discussion.
It'd be AWESOME to see this in hd... The raw energy pulsating through the video, great riffs and Ben's amazing voice are my most guilty pleasures~~
Can we agree this is absolutely genius?
I really wish they had a bigger impact here in the states.
still here lol
Same
Hell yea
Yup
Banger after banger but always circle back to this. My favourite Billy Talent song
you know it's the worst when you're writing a test in uni and you got his awesome song stuck in your head. Thanks Billy Talent that i probably screwed this test, but love the song!
what is it about billy talent? why cant i get enough of them?
They have their own unique sound.
Still cant get enough all these years later

Never saw a band put on a show with so much energy everytime
billy talent,is my favorite music group,im a fan of billy.the devil on my shoulder and river to below r my preferer song of all song of billy.tks billy for ur good music.
How the fuck does this have so few views? These guys are brilliant.
ExigentSource They aren't much advertised, they need to perform at various shows that are played on TV radio etc
Everybody was listening songs on the TV or radio...
Indeed!! :)
+ExigentSource True
yes i don't understand this. They are very popular but the youtube videos hasn't much clicks
At least you know , so many don't understand . And knowing is half the battle . It's all so beautiful . . .
Damn!! I discovered this band last week at Pukkelpop here in Belgium and they where absolutely amazing! New fan right here!
Best Canadian musician habds down
Still a dope song in 2019?
Mechanicaldude fuck yeah!!
Ians riffs are always solid !!! fuck ya dude
Of course bud
YES
Mechanicaldude - Hell yeah, dude!
I introduced my 14 yr old daughter to BT. Needless to say they have become her favorite band.
Seen them in concert 5 times and always killing it😜
I seen them once. In Truro Nova Scotia. I screamed encore by myself for a good 5 mins at the top of my lungs and finally more people from the crowd started to shout it with me. They came back out and played 4 more songs one of the best nights of my life
I saw them yesterday at the Slam Dunk festival. Amazing.
For me, it's the perfect song to write some chapters in my book.
I love this song so much
i fucking love u.
This rocks I was lerterly 2 seconds in the song and I love it
Billy Talent is the best band ever, they are awesome!
I love the fact that the contract he signs at the end is actually the text for the song.
such an underacted band, when they are so awesome.
Fun fact: As far as I’m concerned Billy Talent makes a sequel from the self title album since 2006 like The Devil In a midnight mass related to The Devil On my shoulder in 2009 all the sudden.
No please nostalgia I'd like to sleep tonight
i feel you *-*
The insomnia get closser and closser
Nice
I’m sorry I can’t like the comment
I didn't know they were old.....10 years ago lol
Dead silence tour at bristol 02 arena when ben sang the lines "i got the devil on my shoulder" and got is to sing over and over, i sang that with a booming voice. My 1st ever concert started with this band and i thank them for coming to Bristol 02 arena again during the afraid of heights tour too
The song is really awesome
+Justus E i love it when Bands/DJs play around with stereo ^^ Sounds even better when listening with 5.1 ^^
Hoaqxin You got it!^^
+Justus E Try Seether - Same damn Life
[Deckel]gulli You´re right, thats cool^^
Crikey now that's a good bit of sound 2:15
One of the most under rated bands,it's a shame they don't get more air play
They got a lot in Canada for their first 3 albums
I woke up to this song at 4 am after puking my guts up and falling asleep to some Green Day on Spotify shuffle play. I screenshotted it cuz it sounded great, and fell asleep. Now I love all of Billy Talent’s stuff.
Отличная музыка, и тексты всегда со смыслом.
So good. My faves are this one, Try Honesty, Devil In A Midnight Mass, and so much more. I saw their concert at Stampede this summer and it was SO SICK.
Love their music truly unique stuff. Keep rocking guys 🎸 🤘
I love this band! I got into it because of Trials Rising and they're awesome!
If your listening to this today.....
- you have good taste :)
DAMN RIGHT WE DO
Yas sis
Gotta say, though I don't like Ben's voice too much, Billy Talent has some of my favorite songs. The lyrics are actually insanely good, which is a welcomed rarity these days.
2:41 my feeling, when i hear that brutal bass guitar on that bridge. Haha!
A friend in S.A. introduced me(Nor-Cal) and I'm passing it on to friends in Algeria and the Philippines.
Love it.
One of my favorite guitar riffs for sure!!
3:02 best bass line out there
How was this song never used in Supernatural. Feels like ages since Billy Talent III came out.
Billy Talent the best rock band of the post 2000 Era bar none
Their music is unbelievable!! Just amazing 🔥🔥🔥
This song and Fallen Leaves 🍁 are getting closer to reaching 10 million views
Сколько же лет прошло с момента, когда я впервые услышал ее
Just found this song August 2021 from Roswell New Mexico and it's slammin'
Jesus christ where did you live this was tv and mtv song 🥲
I will never forget this song,heard it first time when i was 13
yet another extremely talented canadian band...
being canadian is awesome!
I love the lyrics cause everything comes from the heart of the most run down part of the city he's from as so am I (referring to Vancouver) shit is too good
The burnout games were sick I'd crank billy everyday as a kid my word. Everyday.
I remember the first time when I heard this song. Now it has been 4 years and I still love this song. Billy Talent is the best band. I hope they will keep making good music
Someone please tell me which song this sounds similar to. I can't think of it but I can hear in my head everytime I listen to this song
Just heard this one at Nova Rock 2016. Fucking amazing. Billy Talent is amazing live, trust me guys. \m/
he was soo amazing at Nova!
was there too, it was great!
Saw them at Download 2016, they are way better live
Saw them last Weekend. Oh boy, they are good.
I also saw them at Nova Rock 2016 - many guys had their ladies on their shoulders... I wondered if they sang along with the band :D
They played this at the concert in Hamilton Ontario, it was fantastic! I think I'm going through a Billy Talent binge again.
Im listening over and over...
This song is incredibly good
Still my favourite song after so many years!!!
The solidity of Billy talent is titanium wrapped in lonsdaleite
Such a bad ass song.

This is the best thing ever!! Love billy talent
Best rock song by far
July 2021 and still loving this song and bang. How do 924 people say they don't like still song?
Probably my favourite song to hear live
Remember seeing them in Lethbridge in 2010, damn near 10 years later and still
Loving it lol
We viewers are the 0.1% of the population.
We are the ones who know the song. 2020/Billy Talent for life
I wish they would come to the UK, id love to see them live!!!
Pretty sure they play in the UK fairly often. I have a friend there who's seen 'em tons of times.
i've met them on a ship towards london...there was no escape for 'em...
I saw them at download in 09, the best thing was that before i assumed the vocals used effects or something to make them higher and distorted, nope his voice really sounds like that! Pretty awesome show tbh
Ian's voice
awesome ^^
Teh Raven he and Ben is absolutely ideal vocal pair. They can't sing without each other!
+doubletakestudios inc. i bet they will still sound amazing separated
It's better they are not mainstream they regularly come to us for festivals they still fresh like back then
