Celldweller - Against the Tide 

4 years ago today was my last night of drinking

This song is so underrated, way underrated.

This is by far one of Klaytons best and most meaningful songs he's ever made.

Lyrics: I finally get what you've been saying Now that we're knee deep side by side The storm clouds are circling above us As we struggle against the tide I feel your grip firm on my shoulder But this fear in my head won't subside They patiently circle around us As we hold out Oh father, why have they forsaken me? You warned me that they would Because it's passing down the bloodline It's spoken and misunderstood We're losing light And strength of will The darkened depths beckoning still Then we hold on against the tide "Another storm you're left to fight alone Remember son, you're reaping what you've sown Under the waves and sinking like a stone I'm sorry son, you're reaping what you've sown" "Another storm you're left to fight alone Remember son, you're reaping what you've sown Under the waves and sinking like a stone I'm sorry son, you're reaping what you've sown" You're reaping what you've sown We're slowly losing ground And hope is harder to maintain We know the prayers we prayed Feel lost like tears in the rain The water is pulling down The Moon's eclipsing the sun The ending that we knew would come Has finally begun It's finally begun You're reaping what you've sown You're reaping what you've sown This sorrow weighs down on my shoulders This fear is getting harder to hide You'll leave me alone in this darkness Left to hold out Against the tide

Thanks for existing Klayton

With or without the lyrics, this is by far one of the best pieces of music I've heard. There's so little music with this depth of emotion, with the ability to pick you up and transform what you're feeling into something that resonates through to the core. I originally found this looking for epic music (Audiomachine, TSFH, etc). In its own way, this fits the genre better than nearly everything else I've heard in it. Nothing can match it. I really wish he had more songs like this, but honestly, I think it's impossible to top.

Still a masterpiece

Crazy how I view this as calming despite the screaming parts.

Ever since I've listened to this song 2 years ago. That moment I knew the way I feel about music changed forever, whenever I listen to any other song from any other type of genre just doesn't give me remotely the same feeling I get when I hear this. It's indescribable, it is perfection in my eyes. This should be what every other artist in the world tries to match in terms of production, emotion and the feeling you get from it. It's just a shame many people in this world don't give stuff like this a go nor do they care about anything that doesn't suit themselves. This is my favorite Celldweller song of all time (at this current point in time with Just Like You/Lost In Time right behind.) At the same time, favorite song of all time, I've listened to many many different artists and this hands down is unparalleled in comparison to those I've heard. Never change Klayton, the world might not care about you but who cares about them.

This is my all-time favorite song of Celldweller, it's so perfect!

This song calmed my heart...

This song has the ability to shake me to the very core. It passes feelings to me without loss. Epic masterwork. This can not be topped, but it's just one color of the palette. I hope you, Celldweller will show me some more fascinating pieces of color which I can fit into my palette. Thank you for this gift. Honestly.

I always have a music video in my head when I hear this. The emotional buildup is out of this world. Overcoming odds, becoming something stronger in the face of something never expected... Stories in song. Love it.

Remember son you're reaping what you've sown Exelent

The most emotional piece of celldweller's music by far, the first time I heard this, it actually made me cry, breathtaking, Klayton, just breathtaking.

This sorrow weighs down on my shoulders This fear is getting harder to hide You'll leave me alone in this darkness Left to hold out Against the tide

Celldweller will always be my favorite.

Easily the greatest Celldweller song!

the lyrics in this song are beautiful, they almost make me cry because i can feel the emotion behind them, even though i may not fully understand them

No matter how many times I hear this song I always get chills. I will always support Klayton for some of the best music I've ever had the honor of listening to.

This song is so gorgeous, gets me every time, even after 8 years. I can't tell you how much this song meant to me when my wife and I were going through -- due to outside forces -- the roughest struggle of our marriage, circa 2013. Thank you for that.

i was immersing in the beauty of that last 30 seconds.... ....then the celldweller spash came on an scared the living shit out of me

So beautiful it hurts.

Easily the most thought provoking song I have heard especially if you first listen to it after something big in your life

I've never thought I would EVER say that. I want this piece to be played on my funeral, whenever and wherever would that be. Masterpiece

Even if you don't like Klayton's style of music, no one can deny that his lyrics are nothing short of awe inspiring. Great song lyrics like this is in such short supply these days, keep them coming and I'll keep listening. Celldweller FTW!

2017, never heard about celldweller before, just found it alone. I can't understand why is this artist so underrated, this is the best music i ever heard and for much more difference, only 148k subs to this channel? this is the kind of things that makes me lose hope in humanity. This song is amazing, i feel bad for discovering this so late, this song resounded in my soul. Also, i am from Argentina and i don't know how to speak english very well so forgive if i have any mistakes, keep the good work, Saludos!

A modern-day masterpiece that honestly does not get nearly the attention it deserves. WUaB is a good album, but this song is on it's own level and provides the perfect emotional end. Klayton you've put out some good stuff before and after this, but I personally would be quite surprised if you manage to outdo this one.

kalyton, you are truly one of the only musicians left in this era who can be considered an artist. the fact that you can write songs like "switchback" and also songs like this is a testament to your creativity. this song is so touching especially for anyone like me who has made mistakes and has had to endure the fallout alone. thank you for all your work, good and bad, you deserve way more recognition than you get.

This song has gotten me through so much. I've listened to it during the darkest of darks and it always feels like I'm listening to it for the first time. Thank you klayton even so many years later. You truly are an amazing artist. ❤

I heard this song from DOTA CINEMA. Celldweller live forever!!!

Seriously underrated band. It's actually criminal. Haha I literally go out of my way to have as many people hear these songs as possible. They are truly amazing.

This song is absolutely mindblowing. Got chills all over my body. First time in a loooong time ive come across something so perfect...

This song shaped me in middle school in ways I can’t explain

One of the few songs that Klayton has written that has brought me to tears. Because it hits soo close to home. Its almost shame. I have lived a life that I am soo ashamed of it. If God didn't know anything of it. I'd die with a burden unknown.

this song calms the storms that wage war on my mind

whenever i feel sad, i always find myself in here. Remember son, you are reaping what you have sown

The first time I came across Celldweller was while playing Flash Flash Revolution (keyboard version of DDR) in 2003. It had "Stay With Me (Unlikely)".

My God this hits me right in the feels :D I get chills just listening to it. Awesome song!!

I love this song so much

Found this at the tail end of 2019 and I love it more and more everyday

this is after all those years still my favorite song

This is my probably my all-time favorite song! When I found it a few years ago, I bought it and listened to it on repeat for 3 weeks straight. I'm still not tired of it (and never will be!). I love this song so much, it makes its way into almost every playlist I put together and it's a song that I would never ever skip. It just is one of the greatest pieces of music there is out there. Good job, Klayton!

There is power in music. It's different for everyone. Sometimes a song's potency will last for a day, or a week, or a month. Less common are the songs that last for years, and they often take on personal meaning for the listener. But there are songs that will last a lifetime, that resonate with the core of the individual hearing them. For me, this is one such. They are rare, and they are precious.

So powerful, so beautiful, so strong! Great great great! This masterpiece deserve more views, more likes and more attention. It breaks my heart everytime I hear this song. It makes me feel alive. THANK YOU, Klayton, for all music that you made. With love from Russian fan

I remember listening to this 8 years ago on this day. All this time later it still makes me feel the same way. Thank you for the music Klayton.

Our lives without music is just an error.

Just as I think it's about to get repetitive it changes, great

One of my favorites from Klayton

Every night before i go to bed this song set my soul at peace.

Found this song and listened a lot to it when my ex girlfriend and I broke up and I had to move across the country. Back then I hoped we would be together for longer, much longer. The lyrics really painted a perfectly matching picture in my mind.

It's 2017 and I'm still in love with this song. I really don't understand why but it just seems that this song is more emotional, a lot warmer and at the same time colder than all these days singles. It has so many emotions hidden in the instrumental part and so much more meaning in the lyrics part. I simply couldn't possibly tell everything what I feel while listening to this song. It is by far the best song to me.

Klayton always with me in the best and worst moments. Thank you so much for sharing your music 🥺

This is beautiful

Words cant express the beauty..

I just close my eyes while listening to this masterpiece and travel to a whole new world of "superbness" with multiple eargasms. Seriously, this is by far my favourite music of all time.

Просто супер)

I couldn't agree more. Klayton is the best. I very seldom find a band that I can listen to all their music and enjoy it. I tend to pick and choose but with Celldweller I love it all. Thank you.

It's been over 10 years since I first listened to this masterpiece

A timeless classic!

I love the part when they break out the violins XD

This is my all-time favourite song and will remain that way forever.

He doesn't need gold to make something this awesome.

Wow, yet again I am amazed!

As soon as the piano comes in tears come to my eyes. For no reason other than the exposure to sheer beauty.

One of his best songs. I like everything about it. An awesome instrumental song, combined with meaningful, RHYMING lyrics. I wish he would do more like this...

I feel so free while listening to the lyrics... and to the voice. It´s calming. Thank you for making this, Klay.

This song...When I have firstly heard it, I was weaping fof a half an hour...I broke up with girlfriend...And...I wasn't able to keep my tears...Celldweller...Thank you...Really thank you...

Twas what brought me hence. Those good fellows certainly pick delightful tunes. Never have I heard them before, and it pleases me to learn of them!

One of my favorites.

Jesus... Klayton, your vocals, just wow, my favorite of any artist, and the atmosphere in this track is just incredible as with all of your tracks, this is so emotional and seems to perfectly represent my dark moods, and yet it has a feel of hope in it.. brilliant, keep producing stuff like this, you deserve every compliment given in this comment section, and every bit of money you earn, I'll be sure be buying this song, and sharing on fb

The closest thing to perfection ever created. The message in this song is so powerful it shakes my soul to its core everytime to the point of tears, nothing can even come close to evoking these feelings.

Amazing song on an entirely amazing album.

This may just be the best thing i've ever listened to.

I love this song i play it over and over.

You'll never be alone in the darkness Klayton,your faithful fans will pull you out....
