Fun fact: I was Adam Carson's Uber driver yesterday, and ironically enough, I was listening to Leaving Song Part 2 & Love Like Winter on the way towards picking him up. We talked about Tesla (I drive a Tesla Model 3), CM Punk using Miseria Cantare in AEW, and he even gave me a pair of his drumsticks to take home. Stand up guy. I quit Uber right after; it would be quite the story to tell my kids and grandkids how I was an Uber driver at some point in my life and the very last passenger I ever served on Uber was Adam, one of my heroes from AFI. Love ya Adam, love ya Davey, love ya Jade, love ya Hunter!!!! Thank you for everything and molding me into the person I've become today!
Back Jan 2017 AFI had an album release at Amoebas in Los Angeles.. I went to the back to use the restroom and suddenly Jade opens the door to use the pisser next to me.. I hollered Oh Shit It's Jade! Dude is tall AF atleast next to me
Turned 37 recently, I still love this song as much as I did when it came out. What I would give to go back in time to 20 and relive that time again. I love my life now too, but miss the parties, friends and lack of responsibly.
Ha - About to turn 61 and just discovered this band. Better late than never... Update: This still sounds great to me, as I turn 64. Advice from an old man: Don't ever let that number define you. You can stay young inside if you keep your mind open. And, listen to your children's (and grandchildren's) music without saying 'it was better in my day.' They will appreciate it, and you may just discover something new that you absolutely love.
Have you ever given HIM (that's the band's name) a listen? You might enjoy them as well. I suggest Killing Loneliness. Or Wings of a Butterfly. Both good songs by HIM.
My first AFI album was All Hallow's EP and then Sing The Sorrow saved my life through high school 03 and 04. I am (allegedly) and elder millenial, so we were all young.
+idelightful Then I would highly recommend Good Charlotte's old albums. Their album "The Young and The Hopeless" really defined my taste in music. I never knew who I was until I picked up that album :)
I randomly discovered this song in college, while checking into a movie crossover fan video. After, I listened to it multiple times as I got ready for classes, especially when I was studying abroad in Austria, during winter...seemed perfect.
I was 21 and in the middle of the crappiest part of Iraq when I first heard this song and album. Helped me get through a real terrible time. When I got back to Germany after deployment, I saw them live in Wiesbaden. 😍😍 Love AFI the most.
damn i remember i found AFI around 2007/2008 and i was OBSESSED with them.I knew every word to every song, knew everything about them, had about 20 AFI tshirts, saw them in concert a couple times, had their pictures plastered all over my wall..i even named my cat Davey. as i got older my tastes changed, but i still jam to these songs every now and then and reminisce.
Michelle Wineijes You're right. I meant to say their first real hit albums came out in 02. Sing the sorrow was my favorite album. The stuff from before was too...punk? Just sounded like garage band stuff. Nothing too great.
So I’m always the last person to leave the office. Right after I close the door, I look up and down the hallway to make sure it’s totally empty and I walk to the beat of this intro all the way down the hall. Full sashay. It puts a huge smile on my face no matter what sort of loathsome corporate workday I’ve had. Thank you for all of the amazing music over the years, AFI!
I'm 30 now and I remember playing this on my ipod on repeat, while i was walking home from school on the last day before winter break at the age of 16. I miss my eyeliner and my emo boy hair. 😟😭
Austin Harvey No Straight Edge doesn't mean you don't have sex. It's a possibility but most straight edge people do have sex it's more about being free of drugs and alchohol. Davey states the only reason he's straight edge is because he hates how people act when they are drunk and high.
little ol 14 yr old me who had just figured she's bisexual rly blasted this 24/7...still love the song and how the lyrics mention both he and she in romantic way, u don't see that very often!
I used to listen to this album all the time when I was younger and now everytime I hear someone wearing heels and walking in a hallway I can help but to start singing this song
Rocking with this song into the great autumn of 2023! Haven't heard it for a while, since 2007-2009. And now wow thanks to yandex music I've rediscovered it again today ❤
Lol every generation has its great music, sure popular music is of lesser quality but people complained about music back then as well. Some times the good stuff is just a little harder to find and I think thats true of now. But yea miss being 14 and listening to AFI while complaining about my girlfriend breaking up with me haha.
8th grade going into freshman year I started listening to this song. Every time winter comes around its always the top song on my playlist. This song just brings back so many memories. I'm in college now. Holy shit time flies.
It can suck to think about how fast time goes and how short life seems sometimes... but songs like this and moments with people you love make it worth while. I'm in college as well and I woke up slightly depressed at the aforementioned. ..
I remember coming across this song back when I was in 7th/8th grade and now I'm in my 2nd year of college. God it does bring back so much memories. Hits hard with nostalgia. I still appreciate this song
I think that has a lot to do with if anything significant or meaningful was going on exactly around the time you were heavily occupied and enjoyed listening to a particular band. AFI happened to be one of my main ones :)
Warn your warmth to turn away Here, it's December every day (I like that) Press your lips to the sculptures And surely, you'll stay (love like winter) For of sugar and ice I am made, I am made [Chorus] (It's in the blood It's in the blood) I met my love before I was born (He wanted love I taste of blood) He bit my lip, and drank my war From years before, from years before [Verse 2] She exhales vanilla lace I barely dreamt her, yesterday (yesterday) Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick trace (Por siempre) She said, "It seems you're somewhere far away," to his face [Chorus] (It's in the blood It's in the blood) I met my love before I was born (She wanted love I taste of blood) She bit my lip, and drank my war From years before, from years beforeBridge] Love like winter, oh-oh, oh-oh Love like winter, winter Three, four [Chorus] (It's in the blood It's in the blood) I met my love before I was born (He wanted love I taste of blood) He bit my lip, and drank my war From years before, from years before From years before
Dude this takes me back to middle school, my grandmother dying from cancer. Friends and relationships starting to change along with my own body and hormones. It was the wildest of times, and the simplest of times aside from traumatic events. I'm 26 now, my emo years behind me. I've lived and learned a lot since the last time this cycled through my playlist, and every single time it does it's such a wild ride, being able to feel all of those memories flood back like they were yesterday. This band, this style of music, the style that comes along with the "emo" label. All of it changed my life, it opened the door for friendships I never would have found without them. God bless Davey, and everyone else who helped make something so beautiful that it can offer me glimpses of a time that's long past and often forgotten. Thank you guys.
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing! He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord! forever! psalm 23 amen
Listened to this album in 2007. I was probably only 10 years old. My family moved across Canada over the summer. I bought this album at a Walmart with my own bottle money/allowance. I had a cd walkman my brother gave me. We moved back across the country again. But it was in the middle of winter. I'll never forget listening to this album while driving through the Rocky Mountains. I turn 25 in two months. I still listen to this album. :)
Warn your warmth to turn away, Here it's December, Everyday. [small girlish echo:] I like that Press your lips to the sculptures, And surely you'll stay. [distant:] love like winter For of sugar and ice, I am made. I am made It's in the blood, It's in the blood. I met my love before I was born. He wanted love, I taste of blood. He bit my lip, and drank my warmth, From years before, from years before. She exhales vanilla lace, I barely dreamt her, yesterday. [echo:] yesterday Read the lines in the mirror through, The lipstick trace. Por siempre She said "It seems you're somewhere, far away" to his face. It's in the blood, It's in the blood. I met my love before I was born. She wanted love, I taste of blood. She bit my lip, and drank my warmth, From years before, from years before. Love Like Winter. Love Like Winter. Winter. Three, four It's in the blood, It's in the blood. I met my love before I was born. He wanted love, I taste of blood. He bit my lip, and drank my warmth, From years before, from years before. From years before.
Davy the person vs. his performance persona reminds me of Dan Levy/David Rose - in real life they're these soft-spoken, super sweet and low-key guys that you'd probably never notice if they weren't famous, while their alter egos are these emo, gender-fluid, dramatic, super cool people who just dominate every room/scene they're in - Davy's a real beast on stage, and David Rose is just magnetic. Love them both so much! 💖💖💖
Seen AFI a bunch of times over the years. One particular time seeing them at a venue in San Francisco they were awesome and afterwards people were waiting outside to see them. Davey took his time autographing everyone's stuff in the rain. I have a poster autographed by him that's smeared because it was so wet. Such a cool dude/ great band.
2:03 defined the aesthetic of a generation. I can't imagine how many 15 year olds saw this and desperately tried to emulate Davey's hairstyle and makeup.
Their best signature song ,represent the album decemberunderground well. Deep like winter, best winter song. Their catchiest song ever ,if they ever come back to their roots. The best backing vocals ive heard from any powerful song 100/10

skins me sucedió exactamente lo mismo! Desde que esta obra de arte nació la he escuchado y apreciado y hoy...tantos años después... Descubro esa frase en español en medio de la canción,increíble.. Sentí como escucharla por primera vez nuevamente.
La primera vez que la escuché, se me hizo algo raro, crei que había escuchado mal, la repeti varias veces, después busqué la letra en Internet y efectivamente, me di cuenta que eso decia, también fue una sorpresa para mi😄
I remember the day my mom took me to see AFI in 2007 or maybe earlier and they were on tour with MCR (before the long hiatus) and tiger army (I think) AFI has always been the band of my life. Always comes and goes. But the lyrics always stayed. Thank you mom 💜
Gothic Goddessjandl wow you are sadly uninformed. have you ever heard real punk rock? obviously not, because this shit is not punk. It is Top 40 pop-rock, commercial shit
I first heard this in 2006, my emo phase in high school, I was putting on my makeup, getting ready for school, and I'd always put MTV on, because they played music videos early in the morning back then, and I was hooked.
I remember when this song first came out. I was so young. I used to listen to it all the friggin time with my sister. Brings back memories. and listening to it again it's still addictive. I love this song.
Mm-hm, I also listened to this waaaaay back with my older brother, and I listened to it every single day for 8 (I think...?) years :3 This song has always been a bit of a comfort to me -like the one spot in the world that you know is right and there won't be hate :)
Rebecca Jazzy wow every day for eight years? That's dedication xD. Yes that's a good way to describe it! like it's different from other songs. it's not necessarily a happy song but it makes me happy.
evanescence408 XD I know :3 Its just something about AFI that is kind of calming and soothing, along with their fanbase-and they don't really have any other haters, you know?
Still listen to this album every day, along with Sing the Sorrow and The Art of Drowning. Guys, can we ditch the Missing Man and Caught sound and go back to this era? Thanks
At 1:25, In the background sings “ por siempre.” Meaning “ forever.” All these years listening to this song never noticed until now. Love the subliminal message that went unnoticed🖤💗
This is the first AFI`s song that I ever heard. It was like I found a whole new world. And damn, I watching this video in 2016, after 10 years! And it`s still AMAZING
