I feel you friend. I'm sorry you have to feel that pain. I lost a dog about 6 months back, and I have one remaining, who is shaped a lot like the one in this video. This song fucks me up in a whole new way now.
My dog died yesterday...damn I miss her, she was my companion for 9 years. Always faithful, a true friend. No badness, just goodness. A true angel RIP Polly
I played this when my dog that I grew up with since 11 died. I was well past 21. It hurt. I have two dogs now and I dread the day they pass. I love them dearly. I will play this for them on those days as well.
My cat died in my arms yesterday morning. His cancer was sudden, rapid, and unexpected. We don’t have kids, he was our best friend, about as close to a dog as a cat could be. Working from home these past 3 years - I spent most of my waking hours with him. We were supposed to have more time, it was never supposed to be like this. It seems silly but I am utterly gutted - this song came to my mind. It doesn’t make me feel better but it helps me process. It very accurately depicts how I’m feeling right now. Thank you.
I’ve lost two dogs in my life. Technically three, but the first I was too young to remember. Anyway, for the first one I’ll never forget what the day was like leading up to taking her to the vet for the last time. As for the second I didn’t even get to be there for him cause I was too busy getting intoxicated on fentanyl, coke and vodka, so my family went without me. Sufficed to say I carry a lot of guilt for that. Cried that night which is something I don’t do often. But I loved that dog, more than I loved myself. Converge is one of the best bands out there today, and this is one of their best songs. Thank you, Converge, for making beautiful music. Thank you, whoever you are, for reading this. Just thought I’d share it. Miss you Hanglow and Major ❤.
So, I've been trying to get back in shape lately (had a lot of bad shit happen in my life, I got depressed then fat). I've been doing Insanity, which is pretty difficult for me right now, being as out of shape as I am. I usually put this album on during my workouts. The way it syncs up, I'm usually starting to run out of gas by the time this song starts. But, it never fails, every time those damn drums kick back in around 2:33, I get an almost overwhelming rush of energy and try to finish as strong as I can. It's been two weeks and I'm down 10 lbs. I know willpower and diet have a lot to do with it, but I'd also like to think Converge and the healing power of music have an equal share in that as well.
+Chisum Burnett What ever makes you run further, swim deeper, punch harder... thats what motivation is. Your will power is made of it as well!! Endure and you will get where you want bro.
@@orphanoforbit7588 Guys with smooth, shiny skin are often chosen over hairy guys in basically everything, from ads to movies to songs. Just nice to see some diversity in characters, nothing big.
your roar of love slayed my despair it ripped me from my path that led me to nowhere you shook me from my sleep that willed me to die a final goodbye all we love we leave behind i'm so sorry that i missed your lives while i was on the road learning to survive you deserved so much more than i could ever provide thank you for loving me and bringing light to my eyes all we love we leave behind nothing in this world could ever compare to the hole in my heart and the weight in the air when you took to the sky and i lost you to time a final goodbye all we love we leave behind i'm so sorry that i missed your lives while i was on the road learning to survive you deserved so much more than i could provide thank you for loving me and bringing light to my eyes all we love we leave behind you deserved so much more than i could provide thank you for loving me and bringing light to my eyes all we love we leave behind
@@mo-hq6zu I think I love my pets, but I never mourn when they die because I know I can just get new ones. Guess that just means all my relationships are extremely shallow
@@SaturnineXTS Turns out you can get new humans, too. I mean, I get usually get philosophical about death--"it's a part of life and what matters is how you lived", shit like that--but I'm the same way with dead humans that I am with dead animals. Memento Mori
Your roar of love Slayed my despair It ripped me from my path That led me to nowhere You shook me from my sleep That willed me to die A final goodbye All we love we leave behind I'm so sorry That I missed your lives While I was on the road Learning to survive You deserved so much more Than I could ever provide Thank you for loving me And bringing light to my eyes All we love we leave behind Nothing in this world Could ever compare To the hole in my heart And the weight in the air When you took to the sky And I lost you to time A final goodbye All we love we leave behind I'm so sorry That I missed your lives While I was on the road Learning to survive You deserved so much more Than I could provide Thank you for loving me And bringing light to my eyes All we love we leave behind You deserved so much more Than I could provide Thank you for loving me And bringing light to my eyes All we love we leave behind
Lost my dog months ago. It was...very rough to say the least. I recently got into Converge and their heavy, chaotic style has definitely helped me get through this. I listened to this album a month ago, and I just took the time to listen to the lyrics in this particular track. God, they hit me like a train. it's not often that I see songs about loss and grief that are written so beautifully like this. Really well done Jacob.
@@Naught359 are you insane? Maybe the vocals, but for everything else the mixing is perfectly. Every instrument is perfectly equal, not one overpowers the other and you can hear every single strum and drum hit so easily.
+Sinstar Ridley Totally. I personally think that AWLWLB is way better than Jane Doe. Bannon's clear vocals transmit his suffering a lot more than I expected.
The loss of a dog, a friend, a buddy that listens to you when no one else does, that helps you up when you are in the deepest grounds of hell and a brother that keeps you on your way, is fuckin terrible, i lost my dog 2 days ago and it's the badest pain I've ever felt.. 😔🖤 ..I hope your good buddy. 🖤
Godamn I know this feeling all too well. The feeling that you could have gave the thing you loved the most more time and attention. life brings us away from those things that mean most to us and we don't realize it until it's gone. Miss my dog Leroy so much. I hate that I worked all those 12 hour shift throughout your life. Getting off work was always the greatest seeing him, but I will always feel guilty for what a better life he could have had.
One of the worst things about putting down your best friend is that they sense when you are upset and that in turn frightens them. So you got to go in to the room in a facade that nothing is wrong and everything is alright. Holding in every sorrow with a fake smile for thier sake. All while you are doing this you feel like you are going to choke on everything that is happening in front of you.
It's funny how people don't like the vocals in this song; the vocals here aren't even that aggressive or hard to listen to. Now Jane Doe on the other hand, I can understand that. I can actually understand the unappealing nature given the extremely aggressive vocals. But that's why he's one of my favorite vocalists. He packs so much emotion in each scream; I actually remember when I first heard Concubine how I didn't like it. And not only that, I couldn't imagine how he still had a voice or how he could even scream like an actual scream. Not a growl. A scream. It's actually pretty depressing because I try to find bands like this one, but a lot are missing that final piece of emotion that Converge relentlessly unleashes on you minute after minute.
Yeah its interesting because so many bands I've listened to I didn't like at first, but I eventually came around to liking them. Between the Buried and Me, Converge, Lamb of God, Kill switch Engage, Horse the Band, Dir en Grey, and Scar Symmetry are some that I didn't like at first but some of these are my favorites while some use to be my favorite growing up. It sometimes takes a certain song for you to start liking the band (Hell to Pay in Converge's case) or just repeated listening.
Man this song always makes me emotional. A dog is more loyal than a human is capable of and will be by your side through literally anything. It really is like losing your best friend.
This album is so underrated, I think it's phenomenal. Granted, it's not as heavy as previous albums but its much more technical and heartbreakingly beautiful to listen to.
Mine and my parents Malamute will be put down within 2 days of my comment and I found this video looking for some metal about pet loss, the imagery is perfect, the music perfect and the vocals just say it all. Will miss you Chilli, the only comfort is that at least you wont be in pain anymore.
This song strikes me right in the heart... I have been away from my family, especially my mother, for many years while I try to find myself here.. she died five years ago and she never told me how much pain she was in while I toiled around Spain. I am still lost in Europe, wondering which words I could have said to make her aware...yeah, she knows. all we love, we leave behind.
Rip in peace Ayako my fellow 15 years old akita and rest in peace Smaug my 18 years old bastard dog from the streets!!! >I miss you both sooo much!! love you both 4ever! I lost a piece of me when you died!
alterofsacrifice123 I think he means the song title, not the video. Of course you can't take anything with you when you die, but the philosophy is that people are too greedy and try to earn way more than they need. As for the video, I couldn't say. Seems it doesn't relate too much.
Ive been listening a lot of different extreme musics during all these years... Honestly, there´s nothing like this band.. They cant see the pick of the mountain.. STILL GROWING AS A BAND AND THAT´S INCREDIBLE
What a great music video. the visuals together with the song make a powerfully melancholic impression. I simply could never choose one favourite album from Converge. I love jane doe, you fail me, no heroes, axe to fall, all we love we leave behind, and the rest as a collection of artistic expression.
Se murió mi perrita hace ya 4 meses, en mis brazos le dió un infarto, corrí llevandola al veterinario para que pudiera hacer algo pero ya era inútil. Fue mi primera compañera de vida y quien siempre me sacaba una sonrisa cuando más la necesitaba. Te extraño mucho Linyera, te quiero donde quiera que estés, gracias por todo lo que me diste a mi y a toda mi familia.
+Andrei Luca Mihai I tend to actually dislike most bands that claim to be in the same genre as converge because this band has always been and will always be is its own thing. Converge is an art band... But not weak art like the locust, they don't need costumes or masks... While most 'metal' bands seem to try to convey and display deep raw emotion, Converge actually is raw emotion. They actually fucking do it!
I would never call Converge metalcore. It just doesn't make sense. Basically none of the other bands that self-ascribe that genre label sound anything like this. Hardcore, mathcore, something like that I can see. Metalcore... no way.
Metalcore was a term used to describe bands of Converge's persuasion back in the 90's originally. Not what people typically associate the genre with these days.
AyeJ4y12 Go ask at least 5 people out on the street and see if they know who the hell they are. They might be well-known in our world of music, but they're still pretty unknown to the public in general.
I’ve been listening to this album for 10 years, and never knew it was about his dog until just now. My dog died in 2020 and I’ve avoided listening to stuff like Black Dog by AJJ, Canine Euthanasia by The Vandals, anything that reminded me of my lab, for the past few years. This was already one of my favorite songs, and knowing it’s about his dog makes it mean that much more to me, so thanks, 10 years late
Every step I take will be in honour of your messy, playful, honest and graceful take on life. I will chase the ball for you. You can rest those legs now. I am sorry I couldn't give everything you deserved. I will forever miss you, my dearest friend. RUN, MY BOY! ONE DAY! WE WILL PLAY TOGETHER AGAIN! I KNOW IT! FOR NOW, I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU TO RETURN, AS YOU ALWAYS DID FOR ME! AND WHEN WE MEET, WE WILL NEVER STOP PLAYING AGAIN! I SWEAR! KEEP ON RUNNING! PLEASE! Go on without me... Just for a little while longer... THOR! THOR! THOR! THOR! Where are you? THOR! THOR! THOR! Why won't you come to my side...
Im here bcoz of the internet here in PH huuhuhu well thnx for the music guyz rak n roll \m/! Kabayan itulak natin usad pagong ng globe smart/pldt net yeah!
