Otherness Track by Track: Sans Soleil 

This. Song. Is. Insane. I can’t believe how good it is. Alexisonfire splitting up was good because they’ve all come back as better artists.

8:05 Dallas goes FULL Canadian for a few seconds there, and I absolutely love it!!

The song is brilliant! And I kinda want to hear a demo version with Wade’s lead vocals 😍

"My mind grapes started to ferment" 😂 Never change Dal.

Such a powerful song. I definitely cried a few times. It's was the chimes that got me.

Haha 2:15 was hilarious, "When you've got Dal in the band, you let him sing the sad song."

This is one of the best songs I've ever listened to in my life. So powerful, deep and spoke to me from beginning to end. Just perfect

I needed this song. Don't think I've ever been so moved by a song.

Been listening to this band since 2001 and this was easily one the best initial reactions I've ever had to a song. Absolutely amazing.

I'd love to hear the demo with Wade.

Easily one of their best songs EVER. Absolutely perfect and creative. And the lyrics hit right on.

Hey now! I immediately got Watch Out! vibes when I heard those chimes!

I just love these guys, and the whole band, onlybandever!

I love Dallas' fermented mind grapes 🧠🍷

That Carcass shirt is the drip.

Ahh fermented mind grapes. Great sip. Can't wait to buy the bottle.

in 2016 I met a girl working for Dine alone records. The label that released their last album before the break up, and told her I can't wait for their next album, since they just got back together in 2015. She laughed, and said it was just a reunion tour. Wish I could tell her "I told you so" now.

This may be the best song they have ever released..... its so fucking insanely powerful it just completely blows you away the first time you hear it.

This is my favorite song on the album and I'm not at all ashamed that the song made me weep the first time I heard it. It resonates really strongly for me. A dear friend I lost many years ago once told me that the reason I meant so much to her was that was one of the few people in her life that always loved her as she was, even when she couldn't see past her failures and the pain she lived with. It was a time in my life where I was struggling with a lot of demons as well. I lost a lot of people over the year and a half before and had missed most of their funerals because I was in Iraq. I had finally started to unpack and process 2 years of pent up trauma and grief. We leaned on each other a lot after I came home. She also struggled with mental health and had become an addict. I asked her if she wanted help and offered to take her to rehab, because I was scared that I couldn't strong enough to be the friend she needed at the time because of what I was dealing with and how chaotic my work schedule was back then. She said she would think about it, but I never heard back from her. The next day I had to leave town for a few weeks for work and that night was the last time I ever saw her. She overdosed and passed away 3 days later. Getting that phone call from my mom and finding out she was gone was one of the worst days of my life and left a scar that took years to heal. Chelsy would have loved this song, too.

Alexisonfire was a huge part of my childhood, love their new sound.

This song (Sans Soleil) is just powering up my insomnia. And…just thanks, I appreciate that a lot.

This album is insane. It’s the milestone of Alexisonfire’s great comeback and a new chapter in becoming theonlybandever

Hearing Dallas talk about how the vocals have defined this band, and how they're moving forward (it would be awesome to hear George's take, too), answered a lot of questions I think many fans have wondered. The fanbase has definitely been split when it comes to what you like about AoF, but for me and I'm sure plenty of other folk, it's an amalgamation of it all. And that's why we're so fucking passionate. I will say; more Black Lungs please.

I can’t express enough how much I need the buying a hearse song to be a bonus track

i just LOVE all the making-of videos that you all have brought to us.

Dallas green? Such a beautiful man. Killer beard.

Song got me on my feelings and I wasn’t expecting that. Another BANGER! Having you guys back is one of the joys of being alive right now!

This song is the best one in all of the singles they put for Otherness so far. The melody just gave you that melancholy yet it let you set your burdens free. This is definitely "The Northern" of this album, and I'm all for it.

This song is a masterpiece. The lyrics resonate with my entire soul. I can't wait for the whole new record. And the friendship vibe from this video is just amazing. I love you guys

It was fear of myself that made me odd is by far my favourite aof song. Such a great band of different styles that blend so well together, the angel, the devil and the punk conflicted by both on the ground

This album is going to slap

I saw Alexis on saturday at montebello park and when they performed this song it was an absolute masterpiece. That whole event was a fantastic moment in Canadian music history. A true breath of fresh air after the past couple years of bullshit.

Just saw them back to back nights. They are amazing live. The best

They look so happy and I'm excited for the future for them. They seem so comfortable, take your time making music. no rush

I’ve been watching these guys most of my adult life and it’s so wholesome to see them all getting along and continuing to make music together ..

Need more of these! Love hearing stories on how the songs come together

Cannot wait for this album!!

This song was an instant all time favorite for me. I have listened to this on repeat all day long.

Honestly already one of my favourite songs, it’s wayyyyyyy to good. Just saw it live at born and raised and it lived up to expectation

The band of my life

The song is great, absolutely love it! Thank you guys!

One of my favourite tracks from the album completely resonates with me.

thank you guys for a fabulous song. I've listened to it at least 60 times in the last few days. You guys are the best.

This song is also helping me pull through some tough times, "these days won't last, this too shall pass.." Indeed. Thanks guys

It's safe to say I have listened to this song 100 times already. So stoked to see AOF again this summer, really hope to get to hear this one live!

The screaming eagles is such a good analogy for this band

One of the greatest AoF songs of all time. So powerful, so beautiful

Words can not describe how amazing this song is. I am listening to it on repeat. I look forward to hearing the rest of the album.

One of the best songs you guys ever made. Stay together til you die please

Boys! 🙌 Been listening since .44 caliber, circa 2002/3 Hearing the new stuff now is great man, propper authentic solid listening from legends of the scene.

Magnifique song. Wow guy’s your awesome 👏🏼 I listened around 50x…

After everything changed in my life last year (probably for the better), this song resonated so much. Really appreciate you guys. Cheers 😁

This song is so, so beautiful and relatable and catchy and don't eben get me started on the chimes. But seriously, I haven't been this captivated by a song in a long time, so thank you guys for this!

It’s really cool to hear the story behind all this, especially the collaboration. It’s really similar to the whole back story with Underoaths recent album, and that was one of their best. This track is beautiful, can’t wait for the Album.

This is the Dallas i missed.

Absolutely incredible song

I love harmony and heaviness and melodies. Like King’s X and Galactic Cowboys, there is an 80s goth vibe I love it! Makes this Gen Xer happy. It’s epic and soul moving.

Congrats on creating a truly amazing song. I can't get enough of it.

This song is an explosion of everything Alexis has amounted to since they were boys playing on Much Music. Its bitter sweet because I so look forward to the album but I also know this may very well be their final album considering their all aging and recoding and touring will be more and more difficult to coordinate. Fuck it, enjoy it today, tomorrow and for as long as you can, that's the Alexis way!

Mother Love Bone vibes in this for me! Whole album is such an awesome music experience! Love it!

love you guysss

The song definitely got me. Perfect 3rd single.

That song is mindblowing! Can't wait for the album!

Love it!!! Love Alexisonfire!!!!!

Love these conversations. Brilliant. I know they've done loads of these before but would love deep dives into every song on the discography (also, very Sunny Podcast vibes in the BEST sense possible [and vice-versa]).

Oh hell yeah!!

Unbelievably beautiful song. Wade, wonderfully crafted lyrics. Love you guys

Absolutely beautiful. I love you guys, I cannot wait to see you live again next month.

An instant favourite Gentlemen. What a song. Congrats to all of you for putting such a masterpiece together!!!

Amazing song. Amazing band. I'm so glad you guys are back killing it and going on tour. See you in Montreal !

Beautiful tune!

Cracking song, always loved the 3 of you singing. Good to see you boys back

Love this new song! 😀

Love you boys!

Great work on the entire album. This one is a standout for sure.

Sans Soleil is so amazing! Alexisonfire needs to come to Texas so I can hear this live!!

Loving each new song. Also Cheers Sam for helping with these videos. And your THIS EXISTS series. Fucking loved those vids.

I love this band!!!!!

Most positive band vibes ever!

Thanks for this sit down guys! Very insightful.

Check Dallas out with a Carcass shirt didn't know he was a Death Metal fan.

Dude I love the chimes 🤘🫶 such a great album boys!

This song is 🔥🔥🔥

Track totally caught me off guard in the best way. Absolutely loving it. Dooms Children continues to grow on me and this track is just as melancholic and wicked!

Great job.

He was Dallas Green. Now he is Dallas The Gray.

Man, I love you guys. 😅

I love; “My mind grapes started fermenting” 😂

I've been listening to this song on repeat all day at work. So fucking beautiful

Yay ALEXIS

This song sounds nothing like sunny day real estate

Dallas rocking a carcass shirt is cool
