Elize is AWESOME, this sounds like a Max Martin tune i dont think so the guitar player writes their music. But those swedish folk know how to write songs. All their songs are great.
The reason why we like Amaranthe.. is because they are more "pop" and "heavier" at the same time. If we wanted a pure metal band, don't even bother to listen to them, there are a lot of boring metal bands out there. This is Amaranthe! And they are also more creative and melodic 😎🤘
Probably not the song everyone expected as a first single, but... for me it sounds like a modern We Will Rock You. Amaranthe has never been a common band, that could be easily marked with a label (metal, modern metal or whatever it is). That Song is just a part of their evolution, a way to tell everyone of us "hey, I can do it..." And for heavens shake, they have done it!! Trust me, their new record will be awesome (there are some snippets around here). Just believe in them, just give them a chance... just listen to That Song with open mind and you'll love it. Mark my words!!
I really love how diverse and great Amaranthe really are. They can make new to how they feel with their heart's content, and still pay homage to their roots. This is really what they have been since the first album if you listen and think about it. Only now, they are less afraid to let their talent and personality shine. (As they have their history behind them.)
It was a hard time living in the city Broke my mind, I was trying hard to fit in Somehow I tried to belong They were always telling me that I was wrong I was running around, I was chasing a dream They had their eyes on the dirty limousine I had to decide, I was coming along And then it changed when you sang me that song Oh-oh, sing me that song At least there's some song bringing me home Oh-oh, same old song I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll Oh-oh, sing me that song At least there's some song bringing me home Oh-oh, same old song I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll It was a rough time, running out of money Had a guitar and my jacket on my shoulder Somehow I tried to be strong But everyone just told me that I tried for too long When you come to the room, well you have to decide I tell you not to fight it and it will be alright I've got chains deep inside now I can't live without it And yes you are right, they are playing my song Oh-oh, sing me that song At least there's some song bringing me home Oh-oh, same old song I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll Oh-oh, sing me that song At least there's some song bringing me home Oh-oh, same old song I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll Woo-oo, everybody come along We're together for one night and together we belong Woo-oo, the best is yet to come There's no reason why we can't keep singing that song Oh-oh, sing me that song At least there's some song bringing me home Oh-oh, same old song I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll Oh-oh, sing me that song At least there's some song bringing me home Oh-oh, same old song I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll
I’ve recently discovered this band. The thing that impresses me is the way they can mix genres seamlessly. Take this particular song as an example. It’s a little bit pop, a little bit urban, a little bit classic rock, and a little bit of what I’d call blue collar / working man’s blues. That’s a *lot* of very disparate elements to try to make one cohesive whole out of, but Amaranthe does it and makes it look easy.
I really like this. This is bloody amazing. Thing is, Amaranthe have never been afraid to dabble in electro/pop/etc, they're clearly not for people who think that everything lighter than Darkthrone is rubbish, this is the sort of stuff I want to hear when I listen to Amaranthe, love it!
I don't care what anyone says this song is fucking awesome. regardless of if it is metal or not, this song hits home and every one of them plays this song perfectly. Whether or not their music switches genres or not Amaranthe will always be one of my favorite bands.
You know what? I fucking love that Amaranthe is doing what they want to do and that they are not taken aback by the obvious reaction that they must have expected. Of course every ''real'' metal fan is going to complain that it sounds too much like pop, same old same old lmao.
problem with this, is not that they are makeing pop music like this. the problem is that almost every amaranthe fan, is a fan cos its metal. this is not metal, so ofc ppl are gonna complain. if you turn it around then it would be like kanye west was suddenly makeing a deathcore album, out of nowhere. his fans are pop fans, Amaranthes fans are metal fans. so they will loose many fans if they continue with makeing these pop songs :l sadly
On I believe Facebook the band already stated that, just because this song is not exactly metal, people shouldn't be worried and wait for the album to be released, because Amaranthe will always suprise you.
Yeah, every hater seem to be missing that point. When I listen to this I can hear the old rock vibe, queen and other greats. If you ever watched Amarathe's interviews they often mention those bands, so I do believe this was done out of passion like every other work they do. I personally like it.
So because of one single, people start complaining about how it "isn't the old Amaranthe"? Wow. Nice moves. Do you really expect the whole album to be only like this? *Smh*
THANK YOU! Truth be told, I wasn't too big when it first came out but over time, it grew on me. It's still the same Amaranthe, they're just doing new things and experimenting. I don't know why it's such a crime for bands to take risks, but whatever. I'm still going to get the album when it comes out.
Ginger Lim There isn't a band in history that doesn't have that group of people that whine "ohh I miss the old stuff". Literally, every band ever has these people!
Can confirm. Big Papa Roach fan of 17 years here. A huge part of the so-called fanbase wants them back to the Nu-Metal, whilst these days they're happy churning out more rock focussed songs and doing their own thing. On the other side of the coin however, The band Memphis May Fire have been doing it the same old way for years. They like their sound so much they released "Carry On" which was basically an answer to record-execs and critics who wanted them to change... Good song that one is. Seems as a band you can't have it either way.
"Oh my god, this is way too soft! It needs to be more hard! LIKE THE OLD AMARANTHE!" Eh. I'm pretty sure "the old Amaranthe" created the hit-song "Amaranthine", which is honestly pretty fucking soft. Or am I just dreaming?
I think it's interesting that a lot of people are complaining about this song not being metal enough. Whether it is or isn't, that's not the point. I've been listening to Amaranthe since their first album and seen them live twice and if there's one thing I've learned about them is to understand that they're going to do whatever they want to do, have fun doing it, and break as many rules as they can while doing it. I'm not going to say that I like every song they've done cause I don't. But I do look forward to hearing more and more music from them down the road. So do what I do : Enjoy the songs you like and ignore the ones you don't.
Wouldn't be an Amaranthe video if people in the comments are saying stuff like "What's next, a Kanye West song?" or "What's this shit? Go back to being metal." This is what Amaranthe has always done: doing whatever they want. One could also argue that there are double and even triple layers here, with it possibly being a parody of pop (which, again, Amaranthe has always sort of been, while simultaneously also being a love letter to pop) But at the heart of Amaranthe lies the message of "Do you for you, no one else.", and that is what they're doing here. They're unapologetically doing what they like. That's literally what the lyrics are about. This is Amaranthe saying "If you still can't tell we don't give one flying fuck about your labels, your genres, your styles, just go find another band to enjoy." for the final time. It's sending a message of hope and warning you at the same time. This is what Amaranthe does.
Aaron Bake It shows that while the majority of metalheads are amazing people, they are still a bit elitist when it comes to the thing that is supposed to unite us.
GRAHAM ELY Well, it's obviously crafted as a concert song anyway, it's right there in the lyrics during the middle-eight: "Everybody come along, we're together for one night and together we belong". Yeah, it'll be an amazing song to hear live. I liken it to Delain's "We Are the Others" in terms of it being solely for those who get it. Those who don't, well, tough.
***** You're missing the point by solely focusing on the instrumental side of it. I thought metalheads were all about interesting lyrics as well? Amaranthe has always been a bit of a gateway band, a heavier alternative for the pop-rock crowd and a fun alternative for the metal crowd. I honestly still don't see how this song is any different from what Amaranthe has always done. Where were the critics when Amaranthine came out? That song turned up the cheese factor thousandfold. Why is this song suddenly getting all the shit. Amaranthe has always been doing stuff for themselves. Tons of bands do that, why is it suddenly wrong to do so this time? Because it sounds mainstream? So what, Megadeth sounds mainstream and they're still well-respected. Meshuggah has been playing the same riffs for 20 years, where's the shit-talking about them? This song is about being one with your fanbase, it's about inspiration. If they can inspire just one person to pick up a guitar or a mic, their job is done. They just want to have fun and maybe inspire some people along the way to do what they feel they should be doing with their lives. That's what this song is about, and that's what Amaranthe themselves are about. Sure, they totally ripped off Queen with their 1-2-3 percussion beat. So? It still works all these decades later. The problem with metal elitists is that they, somewhere along the way, have forgotten that music ultimately is a form of entertainment. It's not illegal or dangerous to have some fucking fun for once in your life. Who cares if this is metal? Who cares if this is a standard beat and structure? Sorry not all bands are Deathspell Omega. This is a fun, cool, inspiring song that will have thousands of people bobbing their heads and dancing. You can either dance along or not show up. The choice is yours.
I only listen to Boomerang and that song, and I already ordered the album, I really like the combination of genres but the important thing is to never lose the essence of Amaranthe, I like the songs where they sing the 3, but this one caught me too. Good Luck Amaranthe Greetings from Guatemala.
I don't get why all of you are saying that this song isn't like them or that they are selling out with this style, haven't you heard their past albums? They always had at least one song in an album that was a more pop-rock style, it doesn't mean they've changed their style or have suddenly gone pop, I think it's also why they called it "That Song". I for one love this song and it's style, and I'm still looking forward to hear the rest of heavier stuff from the new album :)
Ok, i gotta say, i love Amaranthe, every song they've made is awesome and this song..... I freakin love it! it is different, it sounds different, making it stick out from the rest of their songs and also breaks the "same old song".
Catchy!. Amaranthe deserves a larger audience; because they are that good. I appreciate a band that doesn't play it safe and branches off without worrying about music genres. Maximalism will be just as good as its predecessors, but with some new elements.
at first, when i heard the teaser, i was kinda sceptic when I heard it, and didn't expect much of the full song, but it really grows on you and love it now. great beat and i am excited what the future may bring
Fattar inte varför alla hatar denna låten, helt seriöst! Förändring är inte alltid bra men jag kan inte sluta sjunga på denna låten och jag ÄLSKAR DEN och videon, videon är så jävla bra och rolig! LOVE IT
Love the middle fingers at the end because they knew we were gonna be assholes. Saw you guys live in Atlanta and you guys rocked. Keep making kickass shit man.
They have come a long way. My first song that I heard from them was The Nexus and to this day they still have made lots of great songs. This song is awesome.
What's wrong with you idiots? It's a good song with a catchy melody! You know, it's great that these guys keep experimenting with different melodies/waves/angles or call it whatever. I really like what they're doing, as long as the result is equal to a quality product. Most of you are too narrow-minded to understand it, well, lucky that I'm not, and this makes me able to realize what they are doing and just enjoy it!
this song is so fucking amazing. The whole album is. I love Amaranthe for there music and there songs. I dont give a shit of this song is metal, rock or pop, I just love it. And for all those wo are complaining that this does'nt sound like Amaranthe anymore, just stick to the rest of the Album. Songs like "Burn With Me" or "Amaranthine" were also a bit different, so were is the Problem.
"On the Rocks" should've been the first single and it would be the perfect single. This could be the third single or something. Now people are scared the album will be shit when it's actually a great Amaranthe album.
Don't be. Remember my words - you'll love "On the Rocks", "Boomerang", "Fury", "21", etc. That is if you love the regular Amaranthe pop-metal, of course :D
@Zombot. Sorry, I have to disagree. I definitely do NOT love those songs. It's a good thing the album is already floating around on the net, so I was able to listen to it before ordering. Because even though I own all their previous albums, I think I'll pass on this one. My two main points of criticism: - Way too many harsh vocals on this album (seems like they really turned up Henrik's share in these songs, while I was actually hoping they would reduce it even further.). To me it completely ruins several of the songs, most notably Boomerang and Fury, which otherwise could have been great. - Way too many poppy influences on several of the songs (not just on That Song and Limitless). Sure, there are a couple of good songs too, but all in all, I am heavily disappointed.
I dig it, Amaranthe has always been about diversity and doing their thing. This is going to be killer live and it rocks now. Put the CD or Vinyl on when it's released on a good stereo system and crank it up. it's way more powerful than many think. Great song Amaranthe cannot wait to hear the rest.
I love the fact that ppl get pissed when bands try new things. But then hate it when the band just copy pastes the same shit. Its music ppl THEY are the artists they can do as they please. If you dont like it. Hit skip. No need to write an angry letter. If you have a problem with the music start your own band.
I honestly don't get why so many people here dislike the song just because it is not metal. I think it is really great that Amaranthe can be different. I don't like bands who never change their style from song to song and fron album to album. This is boring. Amaranthe is a progressive young band with unlimited potential. I do like they are using it to create songs like this. Can't wait for the next album.
People. Chill. It is one song from their new album, It is not going to be all like this (Personally I love it, but there is not one Amaranthe song I dislike)
I love how the last second clip of another song on the album is that subtle reminder to all of the complaining fans that this is just a one-shot and not to worry.
In this comment section you can find people who forgot, through selective amnesia, that Amaranthe have always had pop influence. In fact, it's always been a large driving force behind the band's sound! Tune in next time, where people will either stop caring about their pop influences again or continue to bitch about it seemingly at random. It's a toss up, really.
en un principio dije...wtf...que es esto, pero despues me gusto la cancion y se me pego en la cabeza xD amaranthe como siempre innovando...bien chicos!!!! lml
So did Elize just discover Stadium Rock from the 1980s? I feel like in order to make That Song, they had to have been listening to nothing but Poison and Warrant for months straight.
If you are a real true amaranthe fan you will raise your hands and support them in whichever direction they go in, bands change and try different styles out its what part of being a real musician is. Some changes don't always please people but if you really love a band you will be happy for what they try to do you don't have to like everything they do but you should still support it. This song isn't my favourite for one I prefer there old style but I don't hate it I think its nice it just not one of there best in my opinion.
You know I really dislike statements like this: "If you are a real true "band name here" fan." That's bullshit. So you are telling me ever one that disliked Metallicas St Anger is not a true fan? Yeah that's bullshit.
Fadedx when i heard this song before the launch of the album, i just thought "what the fuck" but after listen to the whole album i changed my mind. The album is amazing, actually my favourite of them.

It was a hard time living in the city
Broke my mind, I was trying hard to fit in
Somehow I tried to belong
They were always telling me that I was wrong
I was running around, I was chasing a dream
They had their eyes on the dirty limousine
I had to decide, I was coming along
And then it changed when you sang me that song
Oh-oh, sing me that song
At least there's some song bringing me home
Oh-oh, same old song
I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll
Oh-oh, sing me that song
At least there's some song bringing me home
Oh-oh, same old song
I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll
It was a rough time, running out of money
Had a guitar and my jacket on my shoulder
Somehow I tried to be strong
But everyone just told me that I tried for too long
When you come to the room, well you have to decide
I tell you not to fight it and it will be alright
I've got chains deep inside now I can't live without it
And yes you are right, they are playing my song
Oh-oh, sing me that song
At least there's some song bringing me home
Oh-oh, same old song
I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll
Oh-oh, sing me that song
At least there's some song bringing me home
Oh-oh, same old song
I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll
Woo-oo, everybody come along
We're together for one night and together we belong
Woo-oo, the best is yet to come
There's no reason why we can't keep singing that song
Oh-oh, sing me that song
At least there's some song bringing me home
Oh-oh, same old song
I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll
Oh-oh, sing me that song
At least there's some song bringing me home
Oh-oh, same old song
I left my soul sold, play me rock and roll

I agree. I'm from Hungary too:-)

Or maybe it's Pour some sugar on me by Def Leppard

Yup. Right from the first seconds you hear the drums are the same as in WWRY. But less powerful :/

I love heavy rock and metal and you know what I like this too what's that someone who likes both? How could such a thing exist!!
Most tastiest solo of 2016!
last 5 seconds convinced me that they are still a metal band :D
I love this woman's voice.

Sometimes I see how many people in the world who haven't heard this song or video and I genuinely feel bad for them.

I for one love this song and it's style, and I'm still looking forward to hear the rest of heavier stuff from the new album :)
Star Shot from Helix would be the one on that album.
her voice is perfect she can do whatever genre she wants and itll still be amazing
I hope the rest of the album will be awesome. Fireball sounded sublime..
I like their idea of trying a new style. The lyrics of this song are pretty inspiring too :)
Love love love it !!!!
I don't care about what people are saying. In my opinion this song is amazing. Love the lyrics and everything else.
This band is badass and great attitude in the music can't get enough of them
*grabs popcorn and scrolls down the comments section*
Same! :D
Amaranthe managed to write a millennial whoop song that doesn't make me puke. Well done.
I'm literally eating popcorn when I read that..
Crazy..
Do you still have some ?
RIP Freddie Mercury
Rock on Amaranthe
The pop metal gods have graced us .....
Ok, i gotta say, i love Amaranthe, every song they've made is awesome and this song.....
I freakin love it! it is different, it sounds different, making it stick out from the rest of their songs and also breaks the "same old song".
It's not heavy, but you gotta admit that this song is pretty catchy. I love it ❤
Catchy!. Amaranthe deserves a larger audience; because they are that good. I appreciate a band that doesn't play it safe and branches off without worrying about music genres. Maximalism will be just as good as its predecessors, but with some new elements.
The album won't be bad. looking forward to it!
It's not heavy like we're used to, however, it doesn't make it a bad song! Great job!
at first, when i heard the teaser, i was kinda sceptic when I heard it, and didn't expect much of the full song, but it really grows on you and love it now. great beat and i am excited what the future may bring
Everyone should relax and enjoy the music.
Fattar inte varför alla hatar denna låten, helt seriöst! Förändring är inte alltid bra men jag kan inte sluta sjunga på denna låten och jag ÄLSKAR DEN och videon, videon är så jävla bra och rolig! LOVE IT
Super muza 👌 🇵🇱
Racja, proszę Pani!
Love the middle fingers at the end because they knew we were gonna be assholes. Saw you guys live in Atlanta and you guys rocked. Keep making kickass shit man.
Total shock and surprise! NEVER would have seen this coming! Wow! And they did very well with it, too!
They have come a long way. My first song that I heard from them was The Nexus and to this day they still have made lots of great songs. This song is awesome.
2:55 Olaf looks so damn happy, it's impossible to feel bad looking at such a happy face
What's wrong with you idiots? It's a good song with a catchy melody! You know, it's great that these guys keep experimenting with different melodies/waves/angles or call it whatever. I really like what they're doing, as long as the result is equal to a quality product. Most of you are too narrow-minded to understand it, well, lucky that I'm not, and this makes me able to realize what they are doing and just enjoy it!
Yep. Going to see them tomorrow!
I really like this song!
The best part of this song are the last 3 seconds. :D
Agreed. That gives me some solace that the rest of the album be just a syncopated Poison/Warrant retread.

yeah
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VortaBlack at first I thought you were trolling and then I watched it
Qué linda voz la de Jake,,☺
I love Amaranthe all they're albums and songs are awesome.
Man the camera LOVES this girl
Acho que sou a única fã brasileira....Amo demaaaiisss....😍😍😍😍
At first, listening to this on Spotify I wasn't impressed at all. But listening to it again now I understand the song better.
I love this band. and the fact that they sing and perform what ever they feel like. not letting anyone pin them to one single genre
Better than a few hundred million pop songs by music labels that fake views on youtube. I like this song.
Don't know why, but I like this shit
Kaori Diamond kiss him
Sergey Barlit this is not shit...
I love how everyone in the comments is doing exactly what caused them to write this song.
They are great, great song
How have I lived until now and not known about this group??
this song is so fucking amazing. The whole album is. I love Amaranthe for there music and there songs. I dont give a shit of this song is metal, rock or pop, I just love it.
And for all those wo are complaining that this does'nt sound like Amaranthe anymore, just stick to the rest of the Album. Songs like "Burn With Me" or "Amaranthine" were also a bit different, so were is the Problem.
"On the Rocks" should've been the first single and it would be the perfect single. This could be the third single or something. Now people are scared the album will be shit when it's actually a great Amaranthe album.
I know, personally, I'm scared shitless to buy the cd.
Don't be. Remember my words - you'll love "On the Rocks", "Boomerang", "Fury", "21", etc. That is if you love the regular Amaranthe pop-metal, of course :D
The answer is Spotify/Google Play Music/whatever
.
@Zombot. Sorry, I have to disagree. I definitely do NOT love those songs. It's a good thing the album is already floating around on the net, so I was able to listen to it before ordering. Because even though I own all their previous albums, I think I'll pass on this one.
My two main points of criticism:
- Way too many harsh vocals on this album (seems like they really turned up Henrik's share in these songs, while I was actually hoping they would reduce it even further.). To me it completely ruins several of the songs, most notably Boomerang and Fury, which otherwise could have been great.
- Way too many poppy influences on several of the songs (not just on That Song and Limitless).
Sure, there are a couple of good songs too, but all in all, I am heavily disappointed.
Awesome song!
Awesome song. I cant help but love Amaranthe. They have everything ( including Elize) 💖
I dig it, Amaranthe has always been about diversity and doing their thing. This is going to be killer live and it rocks now. Put the CD or Vinyl on when it's released on a good stereo system and crank it up. it's way more powerful than many think. Great song Amaranthe cannot wait to hear the rest.
I love the fact that ppl get pissed when bands try new things. But then hate it when the band just copy pastes the same shit. Its music ppl THEY are the artists they can do as they please. If you dont like it. Hit skip. No need to write an angry letter. If you have a problem with the music start your own band.
Wait, people still get upset about this after 3.5 years?
OMG this song is so catchy. I like it so much, because there is so much good dark music and so little music for motivation
JUST ADORE AMARANTHE
I honestly don't get why so many people here dislike the song just because it is not metal. I think it is really great that Amaranthe can be different. I don't like bands who never change their style from song to song and fron album to album. This is boring. Amaranthe is a progressive young band with unlimited potential. I do like they are using it to create songs like this. Can't wait for the next album.
People. Chill. It is one song from their new album, It is not going to be all like this (Personally I love it, but there is not one Amaranthe song I dislike)
Good!!!
Elize is a beautiful free spirit and this song gets stuck in your head for days
Amaranthe you are always doing great.. I really love this bands
I love how the last second clip of another song on the album is that subtle reminder to all of the complaining fans that this is just a one-shot and not to worry.
So am I the only one who actually loves this song?
Just one word -----> BEST!
tolles Lied, super Stimme von Eliza
love for elize rid💜
Elize Ryd* ?
In this comment section you can find people who forgot, through selective amnesia, that Amaranthe have always had pop influence. In fact, it's always been a large driving force behind the band's sound! Tune in next time, where people will either stop caring about their pop influences again or continue to bitch about it seemingly at random. It's a toss up, really.
en un principio dije...wtf...que es esto, pero despues me gusto la cancion y se me pego en la cabeza xD amaranthe como siempre innovando...bien chicos!!!! lml
ahh why soo many people want just metal and screams,this woman have the most beautiful voice in world
A mix beetween Queen (We Will Rock You) and Britney Spears with guitars.
Not Amaranthe's usual style but it works.
love this band so much
Awesome stuff guys, can’t wait to see you live!!!
1:55 so sweet moves :D
So did Elize just discover Stadium Rock from the 1980s?
I feel like in order to make That Song, they had to have been listening to nothing but Poison and Warrant for months straight.
You guys are awesome. So many different genres blended together.
love this song and the band cant wait for the new album
If you are a real true amaranthe fan you will raise your hands and support them in whichever direction they go in, bands change and try different styles out its what part of being a real musician is. Some changes don't always please people but if you really love a band you will be happy for what they try to do you don't have to like everything they do but you should still support it. This song isn't my favourite for one I prefer there old style but I don't hate it I think its nice it just not one of there best in my opinion.
You know I really dislike statements like this: "If you are a real true "band name here" fan."
That's bullshit. So you are telling me ever one that disliked Metallicas St Anger is not a true fan? Yeah that's bullshit.
Fadedx when i heard this song before the launch of the album, i just thought "what the fuck" but after listen to the whole album i changed my mind. The album is amazing, actually my favourite of them.
