Rest in piece Jordan blake. This was one of the song that first got me into the genre and the emo scene. You did amazing clean vocals and I always wanted to sing like you.
This entire album is so fucking gooooood. I could listen to it everyday and still love every song just as much. Such and awesome voice. Was gonna see them earlier this year when he came back to sing but he passed away before they came to part of the States. Drown The City. A Reason for Broken Wings. Hey Nightmare, Where'd You Get Those Teeth...are so insanely good and have stood the test of time even going on almost 20 years now....fuckkkkk.
I grew up in this scene... God i miss these bands saosin, a skylit drive, old bless the fall, hopesdielast, from autumns to ashes, eyes set to killl, old alesana
Same I think I still have the demo song somewhere - I got the demos of most of the songs from this EP. I remember talking to Jordan back in the day about the album too - This death hit me hard.
I think it's like 2 years ago or something, then I just look at the date on my PC or calendar and it's like "Shit this was almost 11 years ago now" the time it took for it to go from 2007 to 2018 feels like nothing.
Saw them at a VERY SMALL venue in Kennesaw, smoked in their van with them and stood front row and they let us sing the words. Dopest time I ever had at a concert
I saw the whole band walking through a mall in the local neighborhood they grew up close to… I was starstruck.. wish I would have asked for a photo.. but phones back then weren’t what they are today 15 years later lmao 😭😭😭
Lie to me I won't lie Tape your mouth shut Lie to me I won't lie Swallow your tongue Forget it all I have you buried in my walls Ill use your skin to cover up my scares The place you lay in a bloody hall of fame The ropes that tied your hands right by your side The place you lay in a bloody hall of fame The ropes that tied your hands right by your side So now your screaming at the top of your lungs Hoping for someone to come Hoping they’ll bring a gun To inflict all the pain I caused upon you. I won't die I will lie The only problem with the story carved on your chest Is its hard to read when your missing your ribs The place you lay in a bloody hall of fame The ropes that tied your hands right by your side The place you lay in a bloody hall of fame The ropes that tied your hands right by your side So now your screaming at the top of your lungs Hoping for someone to come Hoping they’ll bring a gun To inflict all the pain I caused upon you. I won't die I will lie The only problem with the story carved on your chest Is its hard to read when your missing your ribs So now your screaming at the top of your lungs Hoping for someone to come Hoping they’ll
This has always been one of my favorite A Skylit Drive songs. I see it as a sort of "spiritual successor" to FFTL's "Ride the Wings of Pestilence." Similar lyrical themes and I first got on board with ASD because I thought Jordan sounded like early Sonny at some points throughout the EP. Definitely not tryna start a war on who's better or any of that, just always appreciated the similarities and awesomeness of both songs!
Still listening in 2019??? We're pressing "Rise" to vinyl LP, it'll be available in August! You can get it (and Wires vinyl) here: www.merchbucket.com/collections/a-skylit-drive
Brings me back to Myspace days. It was like yesterday when I clicked on their music on my old, bulky desktop and discovered unnoticed excellence at the time. Bliss....
first ASD song i ever heard. immediately wanted to follow them. fucking talent..it's completely underrated. oh well..maybe it's better left that way. ASD \m/
