Architects - "Gone With The Wind" 

honestly, this song is so sad. so many bands from this scene talk about how they want to die and how depression makes them suicidal but a man who writes a song knowing he is going to die is something that makes this an incredibly sad and emotional band. ever since Tom died a new meaning came to every song they ever wrote.

Stage 4 melanoma (a sickness with no remedy), your white blood cells are the final line of defence to defeat the cancer (except the ones inside of me). He went into this album knowing this was going to be his last. His swan song, momento mori has definitely made me more mindful of death. My goodness. Tom you were/are a fucking legend, no one in this industry could ever replace you nor top your works, status and strength as an artist. Your guitar work has inspired me since "Ruin" and having found out years before that you write most of the lyrics on the songs we now know as the classics of Architects, your words have deeply touched and changed my life (donating to sea shepherd, awareness of animal rights, being more empathetic, writing better riffs) and I will always be eternally grateful for that. Rest in peace, wish I could have sat down and had a chat with you mate

6 years and still a masterpiece

I met Tom once. Sam had just joined and they had just released 'Ruin'. Rock Sound magazine gave it 6/10 and Tom was so down, he doubted they would ever make it. Look how far you and your friends came brother, you were a big if not the biggest part of this success, RIP Tom

R.I.P. Tom Searle I feel so guilty right now after hearing about both yours and Matt from 3 Doors Down's passings

"If I could silence all the doubt in me, accept that what is meant to be, is meant to be." That quote...RIP.

I still cannot watch this without welling up

In the aftermath of Searle's passing, suddenly a lot of the themes in this song make sense... I am genuinely both unnerved and moved by this.

4 years now since the legend that is Tom Searle passed away. Had to come back here. I hope Tom is resting easy and in peace.

My father died a few days ago from covid. This song is in my head and it doesn't want to go out ...

I have an incredibly rare genetic disorder that has affected my life greatly. And with no real fix or cure besides experimental surgery it has left me void of many experiences. Im 26 now, and music like this heavily resonates with me. Finally feels like Im not alone in my seemingly hopeless fight. And even as the pain worsens I won't ever give up, not when I have motivation like this to listen to. Thank you Architects, Hyped for the new Album!

*I still can't accept how huge this song is.. A pure masterpiece of pure emotions.. After all these years still bring me so much emotions*

I honestly wish Sam would sing more. His harshes are amazing but he sings with such passion, always leaves me wanting more.

only metalcore band that has improved their sound without leaving the genre... fucking love this band!

This song has encouraged me to write again.

2:03- he sings this part in concerts now as “... Tom knows I’ve lost all my... faith....” 😭😩💔

< A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me. You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me . If I could silence all the doubt in me , accept that what is meant to be, is meant to be. You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me. > These lyrics weren't written out of nowhere. They saw it coming. It makes so much sense today. So much. Man this is too sad. Too much sadness. Gone with the wind but never will you be forgotten. Till we meet again Tom.

I didn't think it possible to top the last album this shit rules! Deff wanted some more cleans 😱😱😱😭😭😭😭👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 FUCK YOU GUYS for being awesome

4 years and this still hits like a fucking truck

Can we all admire how big of a badass Tom Is for being in this video and writing the lyrics? What a brave soul to know he was going… still following his dreams till the end. I have chills watching him playing in this video… Thank you Architects…

The notes that Sam reaches... wow

Absolutely nothing can ruin this moment. Fuck yeah, can't wait for album.

My beloved late partner showed me song years ago. I’m forever grateful for all the music he shared with me while he was here. This band was one of his favorites, his memory will forever live on in these songs. Thank you for writing such impactful music for the world to resonate with. Until we meet again my love 🌹🖤💋 Rest In Peace Christopher Alan Moss 88-22

To think that a human being could be as depressed as Tom was. He just poured it all into his music, and I can hear every bit of it. It sucks to see such a bright soul in such a dark world leave. It's people like that who give hope to the world.

Impossible to watch this without getting teary eyes. Gone but never forgotten.

Best song of the year!

7 years later and i still cant hear this song without crying.

I'm convinced that Tom made Architects who they were. RIP you amazing human being

Thank you Tom, thanks for everything.

The return of Sami's clean voice!!!!! I hope to hear more of it on this record

Heard it hundred times. Cried hundred times. This one hits right in the feels.

I think this might be the best song I've ever heard in my entire life.

The singing part is ridiculous! Holy shit, the emotions...

Songs after songs, Albums after albums, Years afters years, I still imprecionate with EVERY single thing this band do. They're massive, they've changed my life. Thank's guys... for being in this world.

I love how heavy but emotional this song is.

Still can't listen without having a breakdown. This album is so far beyond art.

This song gets better and better as it goes on.

OH THIS IS PERFECT! BEAST OF A SONG! BRING ON THE NEW ALBUM + TOUR! HOPE IS A PRISON!!!!!

This song is a masterpiece.

Goddamn I fucking cried this is powerful RIP Tom Searle

Bleaghtiful

architects are just pure gold. blegh everywhere

This hit so much heavier after I realized the familiarity of the lines of "labyrinth with no escape" and "to keep myself under lock and key" points to remaining inside the Pandora's box, because the last to come out of the Pandora's box is Hope. Pandora's box is metaphorically something that you will leave unopened so that the last remaining Hope would not escape amidst the unexpectable problems and troubles that the box contains, and in this song, that unexpectable trouble is inevitable death from sickness. You've locked yourself in the Pandora's box to hold on to that Hope, so now your "Hope is a prison." I got chills down my spine.

Recently lost one of my closest friends. Shortly before he passed I'd sent him this song to listen to and he agreed it was a banger. We spoke about the lyrics in the song etc, marvelling at how well-written the song is, he had a thing for analysing deeper meanings in stuff. It's a surreal experience to sit here and think of that time, neither of us knowing he'd abruptly be gone a short time later. His poor wife. On the verge of starting a family... gone with the wind I can't fix this

Absolutely devastated by the news of Tom's passing, can only imagine what the family and band are going through right now... R.I.P Tom

The part when the rhythm dies down and Sam sings "God knows I lost all my faith". That was heaven.

"If I could silence all the doubt in me, accept that what is meant to be" This song destroys me

Oh man, this song's so timeless. Every little second of it is beautiful.

I can't believe the perfection of lyrics, music, video clip. BLEGH

THESE guys know how to do it !

who still listen to Architects this time of years?

I lost my Grandma to cancer on February 19, 2021. This song hits me in a way I can't describe. Rest In Peace, Love you always

Love how architects so seamlessly mixes ambient electronic sounds into their songs, gives a lot of depth to the songs

Tom Searle is "Gone With The Wind" now. :'( R.I.P Tom

3 years, rip T//S still inspiring

You ever wonder how deep you can sink into our hearts, Tom?

Those lyrics hit you in the feels. Jesus Christ.

R.I.P Tom. My largest musical inspiration and for many others.

Its been quoted plenty of times in these comments but, “You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all”.. That line hits hard as fuck in the feels.

When I heard the song for the first time, I didn't know the context and I had thought he said something else instead of "hope is a prison" (my hearing is wack) but I later read about Tom's passing and I came back and read the lyrics and I saw the line "Do you remember when you said to me, my friend, hope is a prison." Instant goosebumps. My skin crawled. Absolutely beautiful writing. Completely unrivaled. Rest in peace, Tom.

On this day, we should all blast Architects at top volume, for we have lost one of the greatest men to ever exist in this music scene. His musicianship is unparalleled and through his music, he remains immortal and his memory will forever carry on. Dan, Sam, Ali, Adam, Searle family, stay strong. You have all of us supporting you in every way we can. We love you Tom. You will truly be missed. 💗 Memento Mori~Be mindful of death.

This chorus is golden.

Didn't know the band or this song. Was a youtube recommendation. Now my feeling's are in chaos...wow

this is so much more than just a song - R.I.P. Tom, we miss you so much ...

This is flawless. Heavy music at it's fucking best!

The world needs the new Architects album

Oh. Oh dear god, I see Tom in every word on this whole album, in every white space between the lines, I can hear his thoughts, his mind talking to us. It is so weird knowing that all these lyrics are words of a dying man who knew exactly what was going to happen to him. Rest in peace, my wonderful friend. I don't know where you are now, but I can tell you, on this earth, you are missed. So much.

Of all the songs I’ve ever heard in my life, this song in particular has gained my deepest emotional tie.

this song is so powerful it makes me cry.

the shot at 3:03...always gives me chills...still so devoed to hear of his passing. We love you, Tom. RIP

Seeing Tom Breaks my heart Knowing He’s gone

I dont understand how it took so long for Architects to be noticed. But I know I'm glad I discovered Architects. Easily in the top 5 bands for me

Found out about Tom's death a few hours ago and been crying since then... Architects have been my favorite band for years and it hurts to see such a talented musician, wonderful human and beautiful soul go. I regret not being able to see them live earlier. My first show is going to be without Tom and I already know that I'm probably gonna cry throughout the whole gig. I have no idea where he is now but I hope with all of my heart that he's at a good place. Cannot imagine how hard it has to be for his band mates, his family and his friends since it's already really fucking heartbreaking for me, somebody who hasn't even had the pleasure to know him personally. Rest in Peace Tom, thank you for everything.

Lyrics: The weight of the world is resting on thin ice When the surface breaks will I find paradise? As I freeze to death, left to reflect What a waste of time I was, in retrospect I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve I'm always gone with the wind Crawling in and out of my mind God knows, I lost all my faith A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me Do you remember when you said to me "My friend, hope is a prison." Hope is a prison Of all the patterns that I could create, I built a labyrinth with no escape To keep my 'self' under lock and key I am my own worst enemy I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve I'm always gone with the wind Crawling in and out of my mind God knows, I lost all my faith A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me If I could silence all the doubt in me Accept that what is meant to be (Is meant to be) You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me Do you remember when you said to me "My friend, hope is a prison."

Nearly 5 years later and this song still gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it Thank you Tom, for everything

Unreal to think that though the last 3 years; all the shows, all the appearances, all the music videos, Tom knew how ill he was, and continued to do what he loved while maintaining a smile and making himself seem as well as possible. What an unbelievably strong human. R.I.P Tom, you'll be deeply missed.

It's ridiculous how this band keep on releasing such amazingly solid material and never disappoints!! Forever BLEGH

This is definitely the most emotional song I’ve ever heard. I can’t listen to it without tearing up. T//S forever.

Just found this song today and read about Tom. I absolutely cannot stop listening. What a powerful song.

experiencing this shit twice in a row now

I don't know how the fuck they are holding the highest bar for all these years setting it higher and higher with every new record This song especially shows how talented they are 10/10 Thank you

They keep getting better and better, and deyyyyum, Sam's voice is so awesome!

Knowing that Tom is gone, and hearing the words: A sickness with no remedy ... :( RIP Tom thanks for all the music that you made for us!

"I remember when you said to me "Friend, hope is a prison"". So heart breaking. Still thinking about you two months on Tom. Rest in peace pal x

Every *SINGLE* lyric in this song is more real than reality itself.

This new album and the last have put a knife in this genre.. everyone else can go home

These dudes r just badass. And the lyrics, holy hell

Absolute banger son

Sam is such a well rounded vocalist.

AMMIH and this song were already soul-taking. No one can wait for the full album release, seems like their full potential. Aweuuusome. \m/

RIP Tom. He knew what was coming. You can hear it. It's so powerful. ):

A sickness with no remedy.. beautiful lyrics

Been following these guys since the beginning. Drove halfway across the country to get to the Follow The Water video shoot. Much love. Never disappoint. Can't wait for the album.

The choruses on the two new records are on another level!

Fucking swan song man. This is almost hard to listen to, you can literally hear this mans pain in this one. RIP

My grandma is living with me, and she’s dying of cancer. She has less than a year left and I’m watching her slowly fall apart, so this album really hits me hard :(

i've literally listened to this song probably 50 times in the last 48 hours

Ok here me out. As someone who has struggled with mental health his whole life, and been pushed to the edge by it, this song really hits home, even if that's not the original meaning of the song. "I take a leap of faith, but I lose my nerve, in the end I'll get the hell that I deserve" : Trying to break through those barriers in your head, but coming up short, and feeling even emptier "A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me" : Knowing at the end of the day, it's your own self that can beat your demons "If I could silence all the doubt in me, except that what is meant to be" : Understanding the need to not be broken by what you can't control. I just wanted to share this thought with everyone.

We miss you Tom. Your music has been my remedy. Thank you for all you've done.

This album, with the lyrical content and themes resonates so powerfully after toms passing and sam just passionately paints it all so well, R.I.P Tom
