Marcin Romanowski He hasn't lost it but his voice is definitely changing. I heard him back in 2012 and heard him in 2014 and now again a week ago and it isn't the same, not in a bad way though.
I saw Rise Against live on the Hunting Party Tour in Nashville. Tim came out and sung the song acoustic just like this. Honestly, with his matured voice, I much prefer this over the original.
That was basically my dream tour and I'm sad that I never got to see them both together live, and I'm especially sad that it can never happen again after Chester's passing 5 years ago on 7/20. Cherish that memory forever, and thank you for the reply to such an old comment.
Thank you so much for sharing this Dan. I've been a fan of RA for years and I never knew this beautiful version of Swing Life Away existed. Made my day.
this is beautiful, love it, cant exactly tell if i prefer the original or this more, but for some reason i get the feeling that tim is reading this as if its a poem.
Is there anyone who has figured out the tabs of the beginning until the first chorus on the guitar? I am trying to hear it but i just cant... This is a masterpiece, i kind of gave up guitar playing two years ago but this performance is just something else...
They did it in denmark too :) I like cause, you know it, but its like something new, and they really fooled me with the setlist, they opend with ready to fall :D
Tom Jakes Agreed, same difference. Just watched another live video and Tim is actually half-step down, capo on 4th. Which could be played standard on 5th.
I'm working on the tabs. I know the song by heart, but writing it down is a pain in the butt tho. But, in the mean time, here's a video of me attempting to play it. /watch?v=y4ttpq7xmrY

Hi guys! I've had some requests to share an mp3 of this song, so I've put a download link in the description, enjoy!
Tim found a way to make Swing Life Away even more beautiful. Incredible.
Roy Harper The older the better. Like a wine. That's all Tim. For those who says Tim lost his voice - FUCK YOU ! : )

But it's completely normal :)
Beautiful song! One of my favorites
Wow this is incredibly different. Has a similar feel to People Live Here. The intro is incredible.

Was this the tour they did with Linkin Park?

Thank you for sharing Dank lord
Am crying
This song is sooooo greatt
wow 😍
I really like it, but I hope they still play the original at concerts.
oh my god his voice
It sounds a little raspy.. like he's losing his voice, I think that's why he doesn't scream anymore.
Justin Reyes I agree, however when I wrote the comment I meant it in a positive way, bc I really like raspy voices😄
that grasp
god dam!!!
Sounds awesome! I like it better than the original.

Please, tell me I'm not the one who cries with this version
Can anyone make tabs of this?
They did it in denmark too :)

TABS PLEASE.
Same as original, half step down, capo on 3rd fret. Just picking at the beginning, Em, G, C
Dominic Breton
I found when I was half a step down the capo was on 4th! No different though keeping it in standard and capoing 3rd :)
Tom Jakes
Agreed, same difference. Just watched another live video and Tim is actually half-step down, capo on 4th. Which could be played standard on 5th.

Why couldn't this be the version he put out
that version
someone got the tabs?
I feel like Tim's voice and the way he sings has changed since the first Rise against album. Personally I like the original version of swing life.
tabs....somebody..please!!!!!
