Hollow Front - Over The Cradle [Official Music Video] 

Hey everyone! Tyler, here. Just wanted to stop in and say thank you all so much for watching the “Over The Cradle” video and for streaming our new album in general. Y’all have no idea how much it means to us, to go through everything we’ve gone through, lost everything we’ve lost, and still have the incredible support we’ve experienced from this release, especially being our second album in under two years. “Over the Cradle” is probably one of the deepest songs I’ve written. While it’s still an emotional song, which is usually our bread and butter lyrically, I’ve never a written song dedicated to the struggles I had as a young teen and the fractured relationship I had with my mother, that took well over a decade for us to fully recover from. While the past can’t be changed, the future is never set. And even though my experiences aren’t the same experiences that some of you have had with your parents, I feel like this song is for all of us, who felt lost or forgotten as kids. I hope you all find peace with your pasts, whether that’s with your parents in your life, or not. Video fun fact: The 3 kids in the video are actually my sons, Preston, Logan, and Nathan. They had never stepped in front of the camera before and I think they did absolutely amazing with their acting. It’s a little wild seeing them on screen, in this manner. Definitely makes me shed a tear every time I watch it. But I’m glad I finally got to include them in one of HF’s videos. It was a great experience, that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. I’m extremely grateful that my relationship with them is as strong as it is, and that I’m able to share my career, my passions, and my dreams with them. I promised myself when they were born that I’d never make them feel the way I felt as a kid and I think I’ve more than been able to keep that promise, even if I haven’t been a perfect parent all the time.

*THE LYRICS ARE EVERYTHING*

This feels like 2010s metal core honestly I love it

this is some of the most beautiful metalcore I've ever heard holy shit

This song hits me on so many levels. Keep rockin fellas. Making Michigan proud!

sometimes when it’s hard to speak, the words harder to hear are all you need. i hate to know others share the same pain i feel, but it helps to not be alone in it. thank you hollow front, your strength and resilience in your darkest times has helped me find mine. as listeners you owe us nothing, yet you give. i could never truly explain how grateful i am that you would trust us with both your hearts and souls to hold when we need to be heard and held. thank you

I love you guys. Thank you for continuing on. This album is gonna help me through the hardest time of my life so far. I just lost my unborn daughter today.. and I can't deal with the pain. The greif, the hurt. Just know you guys are making an impact. ❤

1:48 - 2:03 is the best part of the whole album. Just perfection.

I didn't want to cry today! 😖

The exiting acoustic bit gave me goosebumps! in love with this new album. so much rawness.

Going through the toughest transition in life. In a stage of forgiveness and letting go. Absolutely lost and this masterpiece of an album was realized. Thankyou guys for this and everything. Keep going boys your helping people out here.

i love this 2024 metalcore playlist. i'm addicted.

That's some hard hitting lyrics.

tyler is killing the cleans man im so proud. the price of dreaming had to grow on me but this i instantly understood and love so much man

I felt this way about my mom for a long time. It was only until she passed that I had closure

Those clean vocals are amazing! A nice change of pace.

Nice 👌 like the acoustic on the outro . Looking forward to hearing the album.

The lyrics make me tear up every time. I don’t think theres another song that relates to my upbringing more than this one

Absolutely killer track and sick album. Those cleans 😮. Great stuff.

Damn boys, even with the shake ups and the departures (which I do understand why), you are still killing it and one day I look forward to seeing you guys again!

God damn it Lee and Tyler never fail to deliver. They are the heart and soul of hollow front I’m so glad they stayed and kept the project alive

The riff at the beginning of the song I will learn this! Keep Rocking!

It's been awhile that I didn't listen to something that good, very good one Hollow Front 👍🏻👏

Damn really hitting me hard with these lyrics.. I’ve had a similar background with family members and I shed a few tears while listening to these lyrics. Also cinematography is really dope on this video

"You gave me life But you never taught me how to live Somehow I survived In the end we'll all pay for our sins" Desomated!!!😮 I'm struggling hard with this one. This song hit me right in the feels. I feel this 💯, I am breaking this cycle.

Deep, brutal, blunt. Masterpiece

Lee Albrecht is an incredible song writer. Unmatched.

This song is so deep I love it! Not one bad song on the entire album must say 10/10

Powerful song! Love it! 🤟

this some of the best metalcore i’ve listened too man.

S/O my dawg andrew!!!! keep killing it !

Aaannnnddd I'm crying.

Holy shit this hit hard 😭 absolutely a fan now keep up the fantastic work ❤️

Amazing album lads 🎉

This song reminds me of my childhood. 🥺😟 I moved out at 14 and have lived on my own since then. Ive learned how to take care of myself. Learned how to do everything on my own. It was traumatic, but I have turned out to be extremely hard working, independent, self aware, compassionate, etc. If I didn't go through that I wouldn't be where I am today or who I am today. Thank you for this relatable song. 🤘😊

Hell yeah! You guys don't disappoint, bangers on repeat!

I'm so stoked to see yall in April with uabb, the browning, and vctms gonna be a fucking dope show!

Hollow Front, Thank you!🎉

congrats on incredible album

I absolutly love you guys, im glad i discovered ur music, love the rifs, cleans and vocals sounds great together, im having great times listening to you guys. ❤

Flames 😤🔥🔥🤘

PERFECTO

So many GREAT songs!!! glad I found this band! on this day i took the time to pull up the lyrics to this song to sing along and i found myself in tears singing because of how much this relates. Truly thank you.

I, I am speechless, I cried to this, I shook and I am speechless, the lyrics, the vocals, the entire music and video, I, I have no word

I cannot say enough about this song, there are so many great amazing bands but, rest assured this song is one of the front runners, You guys are amazing, please don't stop!

So deep and emotional ❤ through a bad period of time is the Ideal to listen to.... Thank you so much Hollow Front! New tracks are fire! Hollow front and The ghost inside are the soundtrack of my life ❤ keep up the good work HF!

So powerful brings back my child hood feels, this song is amazeballs love it

the album is sick!

Парни работают 🤙 крутой трек, как и альбом в целом

I was a child Born to be broken I had everything Except words unspoken I didn't see you for months Even though you lived so near Too distracted By your own world to even care Raised by anyone I felt neglected You were my mother Raised by anyone I felt abandoned For being different And I know you had tried your best But it was never good enough You don't know the effect That you had on me You gave me life But you were never there And I'm tired of this pain (I'm choosing to forgive) And I'm tired of this hate in me (But I'll never forget) You don't know the effect That you had on me I see now the worst parts of me came from you But I can't seem to shake this fractured view I fear I'm as selfish as you were And one day my kids will resent me too You were supposed to keep me safe Instead you were too wrapped up In your own faith And I can safely say I'm proud Of the person you are today But you used to let me down Is it too hard to hear me say? You don't know the effect That you had on me You gave me life But you were never there And I'm tired of this pain (I'm choosing to forgive) And I'm tired of this hate in me (But I'll never forget) You don't know the effect That you had on me You gave me life But you never taught me how to live Somehow I survived In the end we all pay for our sins Mom, I want you to know You are not who you were before And even though it seems I can't let it go I forgave you a long time ago You gave me life But you never taught me how to live Somehow I survived In the end we'll all pay for our sins

Crazy riffs!

Love this Song

The album ist fantastic! 🤘🖤

Masterpiece 🔥

Awesome track as usual! Sadly didn't get to see you live as gig was cancelled in the UK because of Covid. If you guys ever come over I'll be there for sure! 🤘

I forgave my mother because I couldn't hold on to the power I held over her head any longer. It just felt good knowing that. But I also had to realize that she was growing up too and that she made mistakes. It took me 15 years to forgive her.. Now, I'm ensuring I follow my path without vengeance in my heart.

this intro gives me chills everytime, love it

Awesome ❤

Damn that’s a kick in the gut… fuck

I was adopted so this hits home for me

yay! 🥳🥳

Hollow front has been my favorite band for a long time and this song makes me so emotional because i can relate to the T!! ❤❤❤❤❤ I love you guys keep doing the damn thing, this album was a long time coming I'm here for it! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💜💜💜💜💜💜

Que gran trabajo, cada lanzamiento es una bomba ❤

О мой Бог! Насколько же хорошо исполнено!

Wow nice❤

YALL RELEASED A VID FOR MY FAV TRACK OML BRB

banger

Brokenheart hymn

🎉🎉🎉

Will you be going on tour anytime soon? Would love to see you guys again and add another vinyl to my collection💙

Fucking great 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fuck this has so much meaning behind it ❤

@3:29 kill me. I think forgiveness is buried so deep under resentment, I don't think ill ever find peace.

fuck this hits hard

if someone told me this was the vocalists of MTS and TCM id believe them lmao

New drummer?

We need a stripped Version 🔥❤️

the guitar part at the end really throws me off whenever he purposely plays the note thats out of key.... but other than that, this song is great
