the fact that this entire album is literally based on one poem is amazing. like it’s crazy. this is one of my fave ever albums i swear. it’s so nostalgic now to listen
When I was a kid in middle school, my boyfriend sang this to me, word for word, note for note. It was the most romantic experience in my life, he never sang in front of anyone. Young love was so sweet and wholesome.. this song will always bring me back to a simpler time
I'd make a joke about singing a song about killing a lover and begging forgiveness to your significant other, but I literally still sing "Ride the Wings of Pestilence" by From First to Last to my wife. So at least they beg forgiveness in this song, lmao!
I met these guys after seeing them at a show in high school and I got my shoes autographed by them. I wore only those shoes for the next two years. They're one of my most prized possessions as a former scene/emo kid.
"Look at you, you miserable fool. Get off your knees your prayers fall upon deaf ears. God's turned his back on you, heavens gates are shut and now you're knocking on the devils door" Best line ever in a song!
I was today years old when I figured out this entire fucking album was based on an Edgar Allen Poe poem "Annabel Lee." Their 10th song on this album is literally called "In her tomb by the sounding sea" which is exactly from the poem itself. I liked this album so much and now I have another reason to love it; Poe is one of my favorite poets.
Deanna Marie I feel like nostalgic music is just looking back at the certain songs that have memories tied to them. That’s what makes music so addictive to keep coming back to it years later.
Can't believe it has been 13 years since I saw it released in MTV after coming out from school... Now I have kids, wife, job-home routine and still appreciate this master piece. Sorry family, told you emo was not a phase, but my life.
13 years have passed and Alesana continues to be one of my favorite bands, I started listening to it in the last years of high school and I never stopped.
[Lyric] Baby! Why are you doing this to me? Sweetheart! Are those your eyes staring straight back at me? Angel! I see you smile everywhere! Darling! Stop! Night falls and I'm running in circles (Wohoo Wohoo) I'm being chased by my imagination (Wohoo Wohoo) Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No one deserves to live like this! Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No one deserves to live like this! I touch your lips and stare in your eyes You smile and it makes me fly You are the reason my heart beats Tonight it's just you and me Night as dark as my thoughts sets the scene for my return Lightning nips at my heels as I race home Wearily i stagger towards the song of her pale voice Demons jeer my attempt to be free Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No deserves to live like this! Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine No one deserves to live like this! I touch your lips and stare in your eyes You smile and it makes me fly You are the reason my heart beats Tonight it's just you and me Windows cast her gentle reflection Her somber silhouette dances for me Look at you, you miserable fool Get off your knees, your prayers fall upon deaf ears God's turned his back on you, Heaven's gates are shut And now you knocking on the devil's door I've been expecting you for some time, sir Allow me to introduce myself I'm the one who pulls all the strings, son You're lucky I don't kill you where you stand This can't be real Tonight I raise my glass There's nothing left For I know it's time to move on All hope has failed My patients will not last I've lost my soul Tomorrow I will be gone
I remember seeing this band on tour with Escape the Fate in 2011. Who would've thought 12 years I would find this band again. This album is very intelligently written!
Escuché Alesana por primera vez a mis 11 años, actualmente tengo 26 y vine a desbloquear mis recuerdos y mi amor por alesana, ya que vendrán a Monterrey este año, en Abril y aunque me alejé algunos años, hoy vengo a revivir esos tiempos, sin poder evitar que se me salgan las lágrimas de felicidad al saber que los tendré tan cerca por primera vez y que estoy cumpliendo el sueño de la adolescente que algún día fui 🥹🖤 Gracias por tanto
sou uma adolescente de 14 anos brasileira, a procura de algum estilo pra se aprofundar. Desde sempre gostei do rock e seus variados tipos, são tão emocionantes e extremamente bom de se ouvir, e achar "novas" bandas como essa me deixa alegre, é legal fazer parte de algo
Eu tinha sua idade tbm quando conheci essa banda.. agora vou fazer 30 anos... Aproveita muito essa fase. Escuta Asking Alexandria, Eyes Set To Kill, blessthefall , Black veil Bride, montioless in white, escape The fate, Pierce The veil, atack atack, falling in reverse.... E vc vai encontrando outras nesse caminho... Força ❤❤❤
@@JohnNasdaq Faltou silverstrein, suicide silence, Being as a ocean, nessa mesma época as músicas do Bring me the horison eram boas também, tem Pierce the Veil que é bem legal The amity Affliction e Saviours, agr sim kkkk
"I am here to tell you a story. A story that will torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night. And though I will do my best, there are no words that can be written nor brush strokes laid on canvas that can describe the stark and utter horror of the night that Annabel died. The Emptiness will haunt you."
These guys honestly hold up really well. I feel like they were on top of this style of scene metalcore/post hardcore. A lot better than bands like them at the time.
I remember one time in 7th grade Theater class, there was a sticker with the word "Thespian" on it, and, having known this song from Tap Tap Revenge 3, I told the teacher there's a nice theater song about a Thespian. Told him the title of this song, he had already initiated the speakers before I could tell him it may have been a little tough for most 7th graders at that time, and the full stage was blasted with this song's opening. Nobody who had bore witness to that event spoke to me again until after entering high school.
This whole album is one big flashback. So many memories good and bad came flowing back. Crazy what music can make you feel and remember and remember feeling.
Whenever I listen to this album I’m always amazed at how smooth the transitions are between songs. In the beginning of a song I sometimes don’t even realize that the prior song had ended.
in college Sean was in a band with my roommate. He used to hang out at my college apartment. I'm glad he's doing well in the music business. I thought he was talented when I saw their band play back then.
Lyrics: Baby! why are you doing this to me? Sweetheart! are those your eyes staring straight back at me? Angel! I see your smile everywhere! Darling! Stop! Night falls and I'm running in circles I'm being chased by my imagination Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine... No one deserves to live like this (2x) I touch your lips and stare in your eyes You smile and it makes me fly You are the reason my heart beats Tonight it's just you and me... Night as dark as my thoughts sets the scene for my return Lightning nips at my heels as I race home Wearily I stagger towards the song of her pale voice Demons jeer my attempt to be free Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine... No one deserves to live like this (2x) I touch your lips and stare in your eyes You smile and it makes me fly You are the reason my heart beats Tonight it's just you and me... Windows cast her gentle reflection Her somber silhouette dances for me Dear God, it's her Look at you, you miserable fool Get off your knees, your prayers fall upon deaf ears Gods turned his back on you, heavens gates are shut And now you're knocking on the devil's door I've been expecting you for some time, sir Allow me to introduce myself I'm the one who pulls on all the strings, son You're lucky I don't kill you where you stand This can't be real Tonight I raise my glass There's nothing left For I know it's time to move on All hope has failed My patience will not last I've lost my soul Tomorrow I will be gone
Me acuerdo que hace años escuchaba esta banda con mis amigos, a ellos le gustaba como a mi pero ahora todos no somos mas amigos y se fue todo al carajo pero cada vez que escucho alesana me hace acordar a ellos recordar esas epocas del 2014
This was my favorite album, I remember buying it and how happy I am and still am with it! Alesana will always be my favorite band. Reminds me of my emo days as well 💁🏻 also I had the biggest crush on Shawn 😭❤️
Alesana has been my favorite band since on frail wings of vanity and wax came out. I clearly remember buying that cd from hot topic the day after I saw the ambrosia music video
I love the way alesana give monolog at opening, its so cool "I am here to tell you a story, a story that well torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night.And although I well do my best,there are no words nor brush strokes laid on canvas that can describe this stark and utter horror of the night that Annabel died"
Just remembered how Alesana didn't just made me appreciate their awesome music which I do consider as their art, but also the literatures (works of Poe and other classic writers) that they used as inspirations to their albums and records. They are pure geniuses!
It's been a long time ago since I heard this song, or the band itself. I was feeling quite down and suddenly I remembered: "Tell me I'm forgiven say you'll always be mine. Say that everything is over, tell me I'm fine..." and I instantly came here and felt like home.
***** Because they know that the millions of fans they have will stick with them. They do music very differently and artistically than other bands and if someone likes that enough to listen to them, they will never leave.
J S Thats because hiphop and club mix is more popular then metal not because JB is better but beceause he is "mainstream" radio time and more taste for his style of music results in him being more popular.
I was literally sitting in the car the other day trying so hard to remember this band and holy hell I found it!!!!! My emo childhood started with my older cousin showing me this band when I was a weee little lass this song brings back so many many memories
I remember when I was married and sang this song in our marriage. Cause its so good to be real....also in the ending I changed the lyrics to "Tomorrow I won't be gone"
Was one of my favorite bands ❤ one of the most nicest bands I ever met and have seen them mutual times. Thank you for bringing light to my life when it was dark ❤ still have their autographs somewhere
Man, as a big fan of Alesana, imagine if they do a Series based of the Annabel Trilogy and the name of the episodes are the name of the songs of the 3 albuns of this trilogy: The Emptiness, A Place Where The Sun Is Silent and Confessions, the actor that represent The Artist is Shawn, The Thespian is Dennis and Annabel is Shawn´s Wife. If they read this and actualy think of doing this i will love it.
