NOVELISTS - Heal the Wound (OFFICIAL TRACK) 

Rest in piece old novelists. The new band and singer just can’t touch this

dear Novelists, please set up a tour with Periphery, Veil of Maya, and Erra. thanks.

That solo-ending is pure magic!

I’ve been through the best time of my life listening to these guys. I’ve also been through the worst time of my life recently and here I am listening to these guys again. Songs like this one really help me get through it

Remembering this old piece of beauty, top 10 of emotional albums.

And after all these years, I keep coming back to this song again and again. Honestly it’s such a life anthem track.

If there is a video that needs a lyric video, this is it. Last year, two men walked up on my porch, pulled a gun on me, and invaded my home, threatened to kill my wife and children (and me, of course). When something like that happens, you will never ever be the same. The panic attacks, the waking up int he middle fo the night every time you hear a noise outside your home, the constant spending on new and improved security measures for your family... It doesn't go away, but instead you simply learn to deal with it. I decided that my solution was to welcome the panic attacks and then take control of the scenario that played out during that panic attack. "I'm feeling sick of trying Of trying to bury the reason I wanted to... To learn to love this feeling that's raging in my soul I've learned to love the thunder, until the sun comes back I've learned to love this rumble that haunts my mind It's never ever easy But I hold onto these lines I've learned to love this black cloud that haunts my nights..." So now when the randomly and sometimes ill-timed feelings of over-alertness come, I play any number of scenarios out in my head where the two attackers end up shot and dying on my living room floor. It's a dark and macabre scenario, but I enjoy it now. These two assholes who are going to end up in jail for the rest of their life have no control over me any longer. That dark cloud is now my friend, and this song speaks so perfectly to that that the first time I heard it I was moved to weepiness... One more reason in the pantheon of reasons that Novelists is simply one of the greatest bands to ever put out a recording. They get it. They get what music is supposed to be both musically - with that grand, epic sound, and lyrically (though the words don't always translate perfectly) - with words that are supposed to speak to the listener. These are the small things in life that help us survive it. Thanks, Novelists for a hell of a song and a great album. (By the way, your album cover was my seven year old's birthday cake this year. He's a huge fan, too, bad words and all. If you'll PM me an email address I'll send you a picture of my perfect little child with his cake.)

Very powerful tune ... Perfect end to a perfect album the last two minutes made my hair stand on end ... You guys have never made a bad track I'd love to see the lyrics for this entire album

that chorus is so so good! the lyrics, vocals and the whole music. but that breakdown...man its been a long time since i encountered such a beautiful sequence

LYRICS Teach me to face what's lurking deep inside I'm crashing down right before you I feel broken, I feel downed With my face against the ground My heart is weighting me My icy soul is afire I'm running after bliss 'Cause I don't know what it tastes like But I'm not blaming anyone, no I'm way too much detached now Insensitive to your words And each time that I'm alone My fucking conscience tells me: "You're feeling sick of trying Of trying to bury the reason Of trying to heal the wounds in time You wanted to... To learn to love this feeling That's raging in your soul." Teach me to face what lurks within my heart I'm crashing down right before you I'm always hiding behind this smile The smile on my face So no one's gotta ask me if everythings okay Just read between the lines I'm wishing that you can see My sky ain't bluer than yours I'm way too much detached now I think I'm too far gone 'Cause each time I'm feeling lost My fucking conscience tells me: "You're feeling sick of trying Of trying to bury the reason Of trying to heal the wounds in time You wanted to... To learn to love this feeling That's raging in your soul." I'm feeling sick of trying Of trying to bury the reason I wanted to... To learn to love this feeling that's raging in my soul I've learned to love the thunder, until the sun comes back I've learned to love this rumble that haunts my mind It's never ever easy But I hold onto these lines I've learned to love this black cloud that haunts my nights

Antares Pt.2

Your songs saved me so many times. Thank you.

This one really stands out. A great mixture between old and new Novelists! Amazed.

The production is incredible. I have no words to describe how delighted I am with this album.

One of the best tunes definitely on the new album, just hoped the end solo wouldnt fade out so fast :(

I've learned to love this black cloud that haunts my nights. Absolute poet.

That ending solo makes me wish it was much longer. But it's somehow also the perfect length.

There's probably not a better song out there that resonates with me as well as this one. Love it so much!

Brazil is here!

best song for sure. good album closer

This was uploaded one year ago and it feels like it was last month. Never experienced such emotional depths in music, never felt more comprehended by a song.

i just became a father - my wife is still in hospital and i've been listening to this song for an hour. i just hope that someday i can show this song to my son and that he feels as much energy in it as i do, because this is a very emotional moment right now and there are only a few songs that embody this atmosphere as well as this one.

This album moves me beyond words

This album is flawless!

This is so good to listen too. lyrics are so meaningful! That ending..wow!

2:51 gives me crazy feels.

Epic ending to this

That was a flawless album!

thank you novelists .....great album!

So souvenirs I LOVE IT

Best song

This sounds very similar to Periphery's 'The Way The News Goes...'! 🤘

Sounds like a new different version of Antares somehow so amazing

Reminds me of Being as an Ocean and Napoleon

I've been listening to Novelists for years now, and coming back to their songs I always keep finding bangers I never heard before 😂 what an amazing band 🔥💯💯

Now this is a good one

I love your tone guys! You're awesome!!

I'm in love with this one. Epic final!

If i could buy the second "Thumb Up" i would defenetly do this.

0:37 - I'm down and off to biscuits, I don't know how it tastes right!

Antares!💯🤘

Génial cet album, vous me faites rêver 😍😍😍

Its one of those nights, alone, depressed and repeating time after time that I wont do it, that I wont cut or inflict any pain to myself. I even envisioned myself bending my knees to pray to god, to beg for guidance all while the storm keeps getting stronger. I don't know how much longer I can fight and hold hand with this darkness.

That ending !

The lyrics of this album is ON POINT! story of my life

Perfection

This song is so good but it still hasn’t healed my shoulder that’s fucked up. 😂

They nailed it on this track..

Made my day like 😍😍😍

Suuuuchh an amazing track peeps! 🤍🤍🖤🖤🤟🥀

This album is incredibly powerful, it’s so sad it brings tears to my eyes. So many hair tingling moments, my God...... a travers le miroir, heal the wound are absolute masterpieces. Novelists are geniuses, so much love for you guys.

Awsome!

NOVELISTS are so Fucking good. I love them so much.

I'm way too much detached now Insensitive to your words And each time that I'm alone My fucking conscience tells me: "You're feeling sick of trying Of trying to bury the reason Of trying to heal the wounds in time You wanted to... To learn to love this feeling That's raging in your soul."

Goosebumps from 3:11 !

I've learned to love the thunder...until the sun comes back. X

Sooo damn good

Awesome Dutch metalcore band! \m/

I'd put this song up there, waay up there... And the end might be the best ever!

LOVE NOVELISTS

7/5 !!!!!

My friends, please help me learn of more music like this song, or bands like Novelists in general. Peace and thank you!

Apparently, there was 1 person's wound that didn't heal^

That vintage Killswitch outro 💯

I hear a strong influence of Haunted shores, Mark Holcomb are you there? ;)

The perfect second half of this song to close the album... I just wish that fade out was a decent bit longer....

These guys are special for sure, but let's work on our over-reliance of VI- to IVmaj on most songs.
