Alter Bridge - Watch Over You 

Who's here in 2024! Mark your attendance here, fans. ❤

I need more people in my life who love this band as much as me..

Myles... I'm going to be 56 years old and I absolutely love you and Alter Bridge! My 27 year old son, my only child, introduced me to your band in 2015. My son Sean, and I were so close. We used to sing in the car together whenever we were going somewhere when he was growing up. I was always singing. It was a big part of my life when I was young. Sean grew up with my music but somehow we always kept the same love of music even after he was all grown up. When Sean introduced me to your band, Watch Over You was one of his favorite songs. Anyway, I lost Sean in an auto accident in January 2016 and that has been so hard for me to survive! A mother should never outlive her child! A mother's heart was just not made for this kind of pain! The lyrics to this song makes me think of my amazing son that I used to go to for guidance, especially after I lost my dad and Sean was getting older. He was so wise and had such a gift of seeing the whole picture of different situations, not just the tunnel! "Who'll watch over you, when I'm gone? " goes so well with my life story now; especially with the close bond we shared and being there for each other. . He's the only one I trusted to be honest with me when I was "stuck". And oh how he believed in me and kept me strong! He said that I was his inspiration to strive and be a better person every day, but he always was. I raised him that way... To be loving, forgiving, and to help others but He was that way all along. It's his spirit! His light shined so bright! I so long to hear his voice, see his handsome face, those mesmerizing baby blues, his warm loving smile, his sense of humor... God! His sense of humor! His laugh was so contagious! He is an amazing beautiful soul, and my life, my world, my heart and my soul are so very empty and lost without him! It's like I fell into a black hole! I lost my mom 4 months after I lost Sean. It's been so hard since 2016! That very last sentence in your song hits me to the core! "You long to hear my voice But I'm long gone". It's so very true! We just never know how long we have in this life. Never mind about tomorrow not being promised, only the moment we are in is promised, the next moment might never happen, so tell all the ones you love just what they mean to you right now, and show them! Don't wait because you may never have another chance. I always told Sean what he meant to me and how much I love him. That's a chance I never missed! But it still wasn't long enough! Cherish every moment you are given with your loved ones! No matter how much time you have with them, it's never long enough! Thank you for this song! Sending much love! Elaine

This is my neighbours' favourite song, whether they like it or not

My best friend and guitarist/drummer died in a car accident. He's always bust out this song whenever he had even a spare second to start playing. He'd always tell me to learn it so we can perform it together, but I'd always say "Nahh. My voice isn't as powerful, as good as this" and he'd bug me about it, same as I'd bug him about performing a Green Day song with me. I can't believe that he is gone, and I'm going to sing this at his funeral. Just for him. REST IN PEACE \m/ My dear band-member, my close friend, my true brother.. James Simmons 1996 - 2014

Most underrated band ever.

My husband introduced me to this band and he was always worried who was going to watch over me and stuff when he passed away. He passed away in April 2021.

This is without a doubt one of the best songs I ever heard in my life. Thank you Alter Bridge for this masterpiece! ♥️

One question why in the hell hasn't this song won a grammy?

My dad told me to listen to this when he passed away, and I lost him in 2018, I listen to this song when I’m missing him the most ❤️

Hits me everytime...One of the best song over decades..still the best. One of a masterpiece by Alter Bridge🔥..still listening in 2022🖤

It's 2021 I'm still listening ✧ It hit hard 😭

Who's still listening in 2020 ✌️🇬🇧

Love this band. I think they are seriously underrated

This song is literally tearing me apart... It's a masterpiece. The lyrics, Myles voice, the melody, the way how the song is played, the guitar riff after "... when I'm gone" is just kicking in and slashing through the soul... I can't even describe it. Probably can't even describe the feelings inside me... Thanks Alter Bridge, thank you guys so much.

Coming back all these years later to listen to it and it still hits you right in the feels. Even more so as an adult. 😭😭😭

My dear sweet wife, oh how I miss you so. I wish you were here for me to watch over. Rest in piece my love.

To who ever wrote this song, it's achyingly beautiful. It's a fucking master piece!

Listening to this you start missing someone you don't even know...

This song makes me ugly cry. So many people, so many loved ones, I can't hear their voices anymore. I've nearly forgotten some of their faces. It's a pain that never really heals, you just get used to it. Time takes so much from us... They don't even need to have passed on. They could still be living, but they came into your life, made an impact, and then went their own direction. You're left wondering, "Where are you? What are you up to?" and whether they ever think of you, too. Whether a person has passed on, or simply traveled a diverging path, it's a deep hurt, one that this song captures so beautifully. The memories are bittersweet; you're thankful for the times you had together, but you know they're gone. Thank you, Alter Bridge, for this masterpiece. Though my heart is gripped with sorrow to listen to it, it will forever remain one of my favorite songs, because it helps me grieve. It helps me remember. Much Love, A Fan

"You long to hear my voice But I'm long gone" This really teaches that sometimes life gives you a second chance, but sometimes not, and you just have to accept it.

I swear if I was able to sing like Myles I would NEVER stop singing.

Anyone in 2024? Dang. What a really good music.

No one can make me feel emotions through music like these guys can. Seen them about 10 times and they’re always unreal. This, wonderful life and blackbird are 3 of the best songs I’ve ever heard

All those comments saying "who's here 2019?" Let me tell you a story *We never left*

Triste é saber q poucos brasileiros gostam de boa música... Alter Bridge é uma das melhores bandas da música Rock .

2023 and this song is still a masterpiece

I've heard this band since i was high school .. and now i'm 33 years old. I still love them and their music

it takes a special friendship and band to have a lead guitarist encourage the singer to solo and singer encourage the lead guitarist to sing and write. this band is truely magical. I can't wait to hear more from this band

Never get tired of this beautiful song, Myle's voice on this is incredible

I just adopted my granddaughter that is medically complex and she will need me forever. But I probably won't make it to her 18th. This song is too much for me and I want to thank you for creating it.

This song hits me harder as the years go by

Love this song. Myles Kennedy is an amazing vocalist

This song to me, is about leaving someone with an addiction. I think about the only man I have ever loved and how I had to walk away from him once and then again, 20 years later. You just can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. It's just a sad situation for everyone.

I cry every time I hear this... my son has been fighting heroin addiction for 16 years..in and out of jail, rehab 8x, 6 years in prison.. I'm so tired.. idk where or who he is but still love my son. But have to stop giving..enabling..long ago.. I have to LIVE... your song epitomizes all I feel. THANK YOU.

2008: 10 Years Old. 2021: 23 Years Old. N O S T A L G I A

This should be a Grammy-winning song off of one of the best albums ever made! It's perfect! I can't stop listening to it!

As a recovering addict, this song is so hauntingly beautiful. Speaks volumes in this life we live.

This songs breaks my heart... it reminds me of my mother who died not even 2 years ago, she was a 47 year old ER nurse... and I need her here to save me... to watch over me... 😭💔

rediscovering alterbridge has been like bumping into an an old friend from years gone by. so damn good.

Grew up on this band.... only 17 and I really wish people would appreciate real music like this.... hopefully I can get the chance to see them in concert.. i just cry every time I hear this song

I remember watching this music video for the first time on MTV when I was playing hooky in the 8th grade. I also had an apple pie that day.

My first time listening to this Band, Aug. 5, 2024. Such a beautiful song.

Didn't know about this song, I had to learn it for my band. It hits so hard though.. I feel every line in my heart. Dedicated to the she that decided to leave me behind, I still love you.. but I'm gone on my path now. Please take care, I know you don't have the strength to cause you hate yourself. You kept pushing me back when I was there to hold your back. And who's gonna watch over you?

as soon as this song starts we all have someone on our minds

this is the song that I sang for my friend at a concert hall in front of this guy who called me his best friend. He treated me like shit, and no matter what I did, he never treated me better. I was always there for him, but he was never there for me. :D he longs to hear my voice, but I'm long gone. :) makes me happy to hear that somebody else feels the same way.

Beautiful song explaining something many of us have experienced. Letting someone go who has an addiction. The saying "I'm long gone"..is the one who left the toxic relationship. The lyrics are perfection.

This song hits every parent in the heart, that has a child with an addiction.

just leaving a comment here, so in 20 years I'll know that I listened to epic music.

This song is for all the parents out there. It's exactly how they feel for all their kids. They it's hard to lose a child, but I'd imagine it's also very hard to leave one behind...

To the love of my life Ted Lowell. This is a memorable day in all time.The moments and memories of Love will always live...

This song should have billions of views. 🤘

"Who will give you strength when you're not strong", give me goosebumps >.

Nowadays, Myles have for sure the best voice in Rock Music. I saw him 2 times, one with Slash and other with Alter Bridge. Two performances very distinct, but both breath taking. Alter Bridge, at this is time, should be my favorite band, and it makes me sad know that these guys are so underrated, or only known because ''watch over you'' or ''metalingus''. They are the only band that I can listen to all of their 4 albums without skipping a song, so, they are doing something right in the world of music. My wish for the future is meet this guys and tell them how much they improved my life for better. Keep rockin' Myles, Mark, Brian and Scott!

this is genuinely one of my favourite songs of all time.

When I first heard this song it broke me...it helped me let go of a past I thought I would carry like a boulder for the rest of my life. When the crying stopped my heart was lighter my soul happier and more peaceful and the rest of my life began...and I'm still happy and grateful..thank you AB.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME !

I've been rocking on for 48 years now, and I have known great singers, Robert plant, Steve Perry, Elvis, Eddie Vedder, Paul Rodgers, Chris Cornell.....but this guy....He takes the cake.

I lost my grandparents within a month time in September. This song helps get through though times.

Me in my room in 2024, crying with this masterpiece by AFFTER BRIDGE, thinking that listening to this I miss you Luthy ❤ my love

one the the most amazingly beautiful songs i've ever heard

for years this song came to play whenever I thought of my 66 year old uncle who has one of the worst cases of Scitzophrenia and dementia that I have ever seen in my life. He has been under my grandmothers care since 1979 a few years after he graduated highschool he was married to then lover Vivian .Everything seemed great and seemed like they both had full lives ahead of them until she cheated on him and it massively triggered his Scitz. He was never the same again, since then he has been in the same house day in and day out just coping with his medical conditions. He is a fighter but I also want to pay homage to my grandmother for her unconditional love and care for so many years even when it wasn't easy and she would hide tears and blindly pray for better days. The reason why this song resonates so much is because shes now 87 and getting Alzheimers and can barely take care of the both of them . If something happens to her I pray someone steps up and can watch over him and make the rest of his days on this earth as easy as possible. a few years ago his condition got pretty bad over the summer and I watched this man that I loved all of my life and looked up to severely afraid of everything around him he was completely free of of medication for several days and I my entire perspective of life in general changed that summer . That summer I grew up.

Anyone in Dec, 2020 ?.... love you Myles, heart for AB

Such a deep song for anyone who has suffered a loss.

For my father and son Steve and Dominic. Two souls in one body. We will walk together someday. Blessings

who is listening this wonderful song from that great band also in 2019...??? thankyou for your music all the time & forever !

Well, after 20 years, I sent this to my best friend, the son I never had, but is going through a very bad time in life. I hope and pray this helps and thank you for the words of encouragement! encouragement

Who else is watching & Listening in 2020 and still feeling so fresh with this song. By far one of the best song of Alter Bridge.... The VOCAL IS LIT!

Remember first listening to this and I really liked it. I just feel even better listening to the song today and watching it 8 years on.

"Snow is on the ground, winter's come." Damn, that's like a great line for Game of Thrones :D

After all these years, the countless times I’ve listened to this jam, I didn’t think it could penetrate my soul any deeper! But, after just getting through the one year anniversary of my dad’s passing, it does. Thank you, Alter Bridge..

This is a song I used to absolutely love and play on the guitar. At some point, I forgot it. I forgot who sang it, and forgot the lyrics, but part of the melody stuck with me. It's been replaying in my head for years now but I never heard it played again. Today, I finally had a spark and remembered part of the lyrics. Now I am reunited with the masterpiece. It's so good!!

Honestly,i've been discovering most of their stuff just now,but damn,this song...it's just so beautiful and good.They really are underrated.

Any one listennig in 2019?

a masterpiece song. Never fails hit my emotions and my heart.. Thanks Miles.. Thanks Alter Bridge to bring this beautiful song

I came back after many many years to listen to this master piece.

This was my brothers favourite band, I always loved them since he showed them to me, although I never fully appreciated the genius behind the music until recently. I've been listening to them a lot more recently than I have done in the past. He passed away on the 1st December this year and listening to this band is a really nice way of remembering him. He also introduced me to Metallica and Rage Against the Machine, I'm forever grateful!

I played this for one of my kids. She has made some mistakes and this song is spot on about my feelings. I fear for her everyday, I pray she will find her way. I hear from her from time to time and I know how she’s feeling because she’ll send me this song. I love her so much!!!

Alter bridge one of the best bands ever. Think they were out there however when rock took a turn for the worst with people turning to rap and country and top 40 at the time. Glad I found them

One of the most powerful songs ever. Tears...every time. 💙

Two years ago my mother died from liver cirrhoses due to hepatitis C and suffered from a sepsis. Her last words to me where :"Are you afraid of me passing away?". I answered:" In all honesty, yes, I do." Then she said to me:"Then you should leave." Back then I didn't understand why she told me that and I left in confusion and distress. Two years later, I sit at my desk listening to Myles impersonating my mother with this song and now I understand that she just wanted me not to watch her suffering from this ugly disease she had. She loved me so much that she told me to leave the hospital and focus more on my life and striving for my goals than letting me getting dragged down because of her sickness. Not to mention that I try not to burst out in tears while listening to this song and typing this comment. I'm glad that beside my beloved mother there are some beautiful human beings out there in this cruel world who watch over us even though they might not do it conciously.

This song will forever have a special place in my heart. Such a powerful song. Love it

Every time I hear this song I cry. My dad dedicated it to me and I fear the day I hear this without him... and I can feel each of these words...

That empty hall where Myles is singing,the sound it will produce will be too loud and good।।। I feel the room was blessed to have Myles singing there😇

This is the one song I can always come back to, especially when I feel like I need to move on. I love it and it means a lot to me. Its the kind of song that just gets embolded onto your heart like a badge. Alter bridge has gotten me through a very strange time in my life, one that is still going. But every time this song ends Im left with nothing but the silence, and it keeps me from sleeping at night. This song actually made me realize how scared I am of myself and how scared of deciding where to put myself.

This song gives the most special memories people have and make them come alive...

Sometimes you've had a couple awful days and you just need something to soothe you, this soothed me.

I think about my husband and cry every time I hear this song. He's dealing with a serious addiction issue (to heroin AND alcohol and whatever else is around, from pills to crack to marijuana to sex). I eventually had to move out (I didn't end our marriage or stop loving and supporting him- it was physically unsafe to keep living with him), and it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. All I want to do is help him, to fix him, but he won't let me. Now he's really pushing me away, after 20 years together, and this song is exactly how I feel about the idea of totally leaving him. It's the most painful, heart-breaking thing I have ever experienced. He doesn't have any local family, and he's not close to them anyway, so who is going to look out for him if I am gone? He had become a part of my family, and they love him and want to help him as well. So yeah, who is going to be his support system? Who is going to take care of him? Who is going to love him like I do? I can't stomach the idea of ending it. I am so confused and broken right now. 20 years together for nothing but pain now?

Chills run down my spine whenever i listen to this, AB is the best thing happened to me so far....

Myles such a powerful voice, I can't stop listening to his voice and band....beautiful🖤

I only discovered this song last summer during a funny time when I had just started writing songs again. The emotion of this song, that I feel even now, is hard to put into words. It's one of those rare songs that just reaches inside of you and speaks. The only way I can thank Miles and Mark for this beautiful piece of music is for me to play it live. I really want more people to know this song. ♥️

Years passed by, yet can't go a single day without this amazing music :)

I remember seeing him on the movie Rockstar. I was like omg he is amazing. He is definitely a singer that gives me goosebumps.

s song makes me openly weep regardless of where I am and what I am doing... It reminds me of a special guy no longer in my life.

One of the best songs ever

Love this band! Such a beautiful song! 😀 💚

no matter which year you listening this Masterpiece, its a blessing for ears & years to come

One of my best soft rock music 11years ago. Will be here today, tomorrow and forever.... ❤️❤️❤️ From Nigeria..

13years and still hit me 💔

Alter Bridge are so special,so very special. So much soul and heart in their music.
