I hope this finds you well A father lost and mother deaf The family that's kept me here Hard lesson learned, and I've learned it well How to lose everything How to push you away How to lie when I say "I never raised a hand to the ones I love." Now look at how You beg and pray For your god and his grace To keep you safe To save you from me My broken spirit and back My calloused, shaking hands The ache I carry in me My grief and skeletons The weight you carried inside A weight that held my bloodline Black out the sunlight I count these burdens as mine And still all you see is that bastard in me Been living in hell A father lost and mother deaf The family that I squandered here Hard lesson learned, and I forgot it all How to lose everything How to push you away How to lie when I say "I never raised a hand to the ones I love." But I remember how You begged and prayed For your god and his grace To keep you safe To save you from me My broken spirit and back My calloused, shaking hands The ache I carry in me My grief and skeletons The weight you carried inside A weight that held my bloodline Black out the sunlight I count these burdens as mine And still all I see is that bastard in me
Back when you could still make out the absolutely amazing vocals, in perfect harmony with the instruments. These were the golden times of Defeater and Melodic Hardcore in general. Mesmerizing ❤️❤️
Never heard of these guys till they toured with August burns red last year; along with: beartooth and blessthefall. One of the best shows I've been to.
i still dont see how they are part of the wave though. like touche, pianos and la dispute are one thing but this isnt really part of that same category from my point of view
Kacimbe Listen to their older stuff. I have personally seen all the bands you mentioned a few times and even had a band that played with defeater a couple times in northern cal. It's definitely a "wave" if you will, of music. Alot of people refer to it as post-hardcore. Many tentatively say modern "screamo" which isn't so far from the truth, although the definitions of screamo and emo have become skewed and jaded over the years.
okay so. you. you. are . not . in . on . it. this. is. post-hardcore. i understand what makes post hardcore post hardcore. "the wave"(labeled by others) is in reference to the group of bands i named because they are titled as revivalist posthardcore. touted they are bands that have a sound that reacknowledges the birth of posthardcore in the 80's they are bands that in a way pick up the instruments as if the only post hardcore they had listened to was oldschool fugazi, big black and all the other big names that are credited with having cemented what posthardcore meant during the 80's, regardless of how they build upon it. thats not true of this band. not saying its bad but at least this song doesnt have the aesthetic of that nature. also screamo is a perfectly fine label but its not really quite a label that bogs down anythign specific. if it has shouted vocals and was influenced by the big emo punk wave it's screamo.
I'll always love this band. I had a band that played with them in northern cali in like 2010. We played at this tiny coffee shop called Sue's Java. One of my favorite shows I've played/seen. Shoulder to shoulder crowd, great sound, great energy. Alot of comments on this video are negative and biased against the band. It kinda baffles me. This is definitely/hands down one of the best bands in hardcore/punk right now on multiple levels.
Seriously? 200K views? For this great genuine band? New metaphor of hardcode music, i'd like to categorized it as modern melodic hardcore, and here's the list of band who have the same kind genre : 1. Counterparts 2. Landscapes 3. Motives 4. Climates 5. More Than Life 6. Departures 7. Capsize 8. Hundredth 9. Empty Handed
Is this video based on a kids book about war? Our teacher in modern history showed it to us about these to guys in like fox holes that were at war and they snuck into each others fox holes at the same time and saw that the enemy had family and friends like they did and they caught each other and stopped fighting.
What's the song , the lyrics are, Heaven is real when hells where you've escaped from. Things are going to get BETTER ! to be BETTER ! I've searched the lyrics and can't find the song...
All of the albums tell the story of a veteran and his memories that terrorize him from war and the life he struggles to live after he comes home and the negative affects that he feels he is burdening his family with. Side effects of combat PTSD
His scream just has a unique emotion. Gives me chills
Agreed
Chills for minutes afterwards.
+TheProjectVoid Especially on "pray" before the chorus goddamn that high
If you like this, you'd LOVE counterparts. New record is fuego
Bright As Night or I, The Mapmaker
I hope this finds you well
A father lost and mother deaf
The family that's kept me here
Hard lesson learned, and I've learned it well
How to lose everything
How to push you away
How to lie when I say
"I never raised a hand to the ones I love."
Now look at how
You beg and pray
For your god and his grace
To keep you safe
To save you from me
My broken spirit and back
My calloused, shaking hands
The ache I carry in me
My grief and skeletons
The weight you carried inside
A weight that held my bloodline
Black out the sunlight
I count these burdens as mine
And still all you see is that bastard in me
Been living in hell
A father lost and mother deaf
The family that I squandered here
Hard lesson learned, and I forgot it all
How to lose everything
How to push you away
How to lie when I say
"I never raised a hand to the ones I love."
But I remember how
You begged and prayed
For your god and his grace
To keep you safe
To save you from me
My broken spirit and back
My calloused, shaking hands
The ache I carry in me
My grief and skeletons
The weight you carried inside
A weight that held my bloodline
Black out the sunlight
I count these burdens as mine
And still all I see is that bastard in me
You're the best.
I know it’s been over 4 years, but I’m pretty sure it’s father lost and mother dear, not deaf
@@AKcollision123 I got this off of Genius I think LOL.
Joshua Sandage Just looked at Genius, must have been updated since the first comment
Why did it take me so long to listen to these guys...? I'm so impressed.
Heard this once back in high school and the feeling i got hearing it 9 years later was felt the exact same 🖤
I could listen this song over and over again
they seriously need to make a movie out of the story line in the albums.
thought that since travels
This song and video stil gives me the shivers and guse bumps even after i watcht it for hundreth times
the best band in the world
who else here reliving their teens?
yup
Back when you could still make out the absolutely amazing vocals, in perfect harmony with the instruments. These were the golden times of Defeater and Melodic Hardcore in general. Mesmerizing ❤️❤️
Never heard of these guys till they toured with August burns red last year; along with: beartooth and blessthefall. One of the best shows I've been to.
Incredibly powerful song. I promise you will love IORI's "Empty Handed" if you are a big fan of this!
The channel Beheading the traitor posted up Ioris songs.... im impressed.
9 years late but what song? lmao
2021 and still all I see is that bastard in me
And still all you see is that bastard in me... i could send this too so many peers who gave up on me.
2:18 is god damn awesome so much emotions
To say this sounds AT ALL like Black veil brides is probably the most unintelligent and insulting use of the English language I have heard to date.
Haha thank you. I read that persons comment and had to take a double take at the stupidity.
i still dont see how they are part of the wave though. like touche, pianos and la dispute are one thing but this isnt really part of that same category from my point of view

Kacimbe This is melodic hardcore though
This song is legendary. Thank you.

And today im listening and i wholeheartedly agree.
Just amazing 👏 i love that this band really has mixed few styles together to make awesome songs.

God i have been waiting for so long to hear this song live, and tomorrow is finally that day
vladaqqqqq so how was it
+kirby TFTV. i just saw them two nights ago, and they were fucking great. played an amazing set as well.
I remember the good days when people listened to music because they liked it and didn't give a fuck about how they were categorized.. bvti
Sick cinematography and editing.
Defeater never fails to be amazing as well.
Why has it taken me so long to stumble upon these guys? They're beast.
I met the drummer Joe at guitar center on Sunday, cool as dude. Told you Id check you guys out man! Kicks ass \m/>,..,
I don't understand why this doesn't have more views
Funny that I'm not the only Derek Archambault out there lmao
this is amazing! defeater is one of the greatest bands of the new wave of hardcore bands
just found this band and i'm so glad I did
glad I got to see them live a couple years ago.
lucky
This album ruled. The video does this song much justice.
I can scream on the same pitch and dynamic and ill be damned if i don't use it to scream to the heavens
Perfection
New soundtrack for Band of Brothers.
This song gets me too hyped and I love it
Naahh its more like a punk-metal-soul funk, with a latin sound.. its amazing
Bro its hardcore, this is hardcore
So impressed by these guys omg
Amazing voice. Even to this day.
I felt every words. this is a love letter from me to "u".
Holy shit I love the beginning of this "and the challenger says he wants to continue..."
This song always makes me wanna headbang lol
Wow the music video alone is so fucking powerful.
Amazing guys
Jon Snow's favorite tune
Lmao

This djents so hard :D
Yes!
Seriously? 200K views? For this great genuine band?

1. Counterparts
2. Landscapes
3. Motives
4. Climates
5. More Than Life
6. Departures
7. Capsize

Amazing.
Al fin la volvi a encontrar.

This song must be about Jon Snow
That just hurt my emotions... :(
1:45 looks like Keith Buckley

lol
Really good.
and still all I see is that bastard in me
Amazing
I appreciate the use of Sandboxx letters
Good job, Nicolas! Good job.

M1 carabine Without magazine? But awesome video and song.
0:54 damn

Its more punk, punk hardcore than anything.
Ruben Gawan Post Hardcore ;D
TheDeathknight79 definitely not post hardcore but who gives a shit
More Melodic Hardcore actually. Definitely not post-hardcore.
+Ruben Gawan hardcore is a derivation of the punk rock genre. its actually short for "hardcore punk".
Viva hardcore ❤
Nice band !
You have just win my presence at Hellfest OA.
Hope it'll be a good set ;).
ReachTheDarkness They will put on a great performance, I can promise you as much as that :)
Okay thanks :).
I'm impatient now ! ;)
Okay, that was AWESOME.
ReachTheDarkness So sad I couldn't be there... But I'm glad you had a good time!
It's a young band, you will surely see them a lot of times :)
Thank you !
2022
the beginning of the song is similar to Architect's Learn To Live
Is this video based on a kids book about war? Our teacher in modern history showed it to us about these to guys in like fox holes that were at war and they snuck into each others fox holes at the same time and saw that the enemy had family and friends like they did and they caught each other and stopped fighting.
Defeater in Brazil please
oh my fucking god this video is 10/10
I didnt realize Chris Demarais acted in hardcore music videos
every one of their songs fits the war scenario
especially lost ground
What's the song , the lyrics are, Heaven is real when hells where you've escaped from. Things are going to get BETTER ! to be BETTER !
I've searched the lyrics and can't find the song...
I've been trying to figure out the story that is told in the albums
All of the albums tell the story of a veteran and his memories that terrorize him from war and the life he struggles to live after he comes home and the negative affects that he feels he is burdening his family with. Side effects of combat PTSD
epic
badass to the fucken bone
Intro reminds me of 'Learn to Live' by Architects, anyone else?
can anyone tell me what's the concept behind this album? Im new on defeater
какого года видео и песня?
из какого фильма кадры , подскажите
great song. couldnt help to notice that the actor has a fresh cut though, takes from the affect a bit
original video or a film i must watch?!
original video
Was this video offline for a while?
Fucking love it, good job guys :)
