Let me go Let me go Let me seek the answer that I need to know Let me find a way Let me walk away Through the Undertow Please let me go Let me fly Let me fly Let me rise against that blood-red velvet sky Let me chase it all Break my wings and fall Probably survive So let me fly Let me fly Let me run Let me run Let me ride the crest of chance into the sun You were always there But you may lose me here Now love me if you dare And let me run I'm alive and I am true to my heart now, I am I But why must truth always make me die? Let me break! Let me bleed! Let me tear myself apart I need to breathe! Let me lose my way! Let me walk astray! Maybe to proceed... Just let me bleed! Let me drain! Let me die! Let me break the things I love I need to cry! Let me burn it all! Let me take my fall! Through the cleansing fire! Now let me die! Let me die Let me out Let me fade into that pitch-black velvet night
@@eritropoetina7845 quite possibly so. The emotion is so raw and overwhelmingly desperate here, it feels as if cutting the heart in two with sharp rusted blade. Like in ‘Hurt’ by NIN, if not even more painfully. Goddamn what an astounding piece of music that is over here, bringing streaming tears to my eyes right now. Every time
@Adam1349 The studio version exemplifies the anger in the song, while this brings out the hurt beneath it. I like both, depending on my mood either will feel more fitting.
OMG! Daniel is so perfect *-* I almost cried in the "Let me breack the things i love i need to cry" part, it'so emotional and he sing it with such a power and pain, it's just amazing.
I don't know about you guys, but this is my favorite version of this song. The studio version is a masterpiece, but hearing it sung like this is quite possibly one of the most beautiful things that has ever graced my ears. Wonderful.
I love Daniel's display of raw emotion in this song. It makes me cry almost every time. This is why music was created, to convey our feelings to one another. This is my favorite performance by PoS.
I saw them live last night at Rock For Moc, they have become top 10 best bands in the world, or that has walked on this earth. Daniel is Sweden/Scandinavian/world's best singer. They did a cover on the song Hallelujah and it sent shivers from my toes to my head. Imagine this. I was shaking and had a temporary affro. Love Henke from the band HaVeN
I simply cannot believe how incredibly, insanely good this version of this song is. Undertow was already one of my favourites, but I think this version is simply the best thing that I've ever heard in my entire life. I ADORE the way it goes from mellow to really hard and back to mellow. And Daniel puts out some of the greatest vocals ever. Miles ahead of the already awesome album version.
Damn it... I love this version too, but I'd really like a live version that goes more like the studio one, with the song staying powerful for the last two verses! Seems Undertow has always been performed like this live.
This brought me to tears now, I've never seen this live and Daniel is so fantastic in it. If they play this song in the next Brazilian concert (in June), I think I'll die! *_*
This song always makes me cry... I believe it is the BEST song that has been ever written and it has a great meaning to me. It says everything I want to say and I'm unable to. I will never forget in my life the festival "Rock 'Em All" yesterday, here in Athens, where they sang Undertow and I really really broke down... I can travel anywhere in the world to listen to it again... Pain of Salvation, thank you for offering this song to the world. You just rock!
Such a great song. This is one of the bands simplest songs, but yet one of their best, which says a lot about how powerfull it is. Great singing, from Daniel of course, but also Johan. That scream before the anti-climax was gut wrenching.
Actually, what really DOES get me tearful from PoS songs is how CLOSE their songs can relate to my life. I got well over 100gb of music, and PoS is just the right formula for me. =)
the greatest live performance u have ever seen. so raw and powerfull, daniel nearly cried. i never liked the album version, but the live version is a billion times better
este grupo es lo mejor que hay en la vida la musica que hacen es increible para mi no hay mejor musica que esta el progre es lo de hoy y no hay banda que la supere!!!!!!!!!!!!
To all of you arguing: music isn't about who can squeeze the most notes in a second or who can write the most complex songs. I recognize DT members are amazing musicians, but when it comes to portraying emotions through their songs, no one does it better than PoS (or actually, Daniel haha). Just listen to this song if you don't believe me. But seriously, just enjoy the music and stop arguing!
Capndroid has a point. This version has so much more going for it when it comes to musical direction, dynamic contrast, and expression. This version is a million times better than the studio version.
While the studio version has this anger and grief within its threshold, this feels like a funeral march through the remedy lane. It captures a sadness one will experience one day, one that is bitter, but too tired for a raging anger
when Daniel sings: "Let me die, let me brake the things I love, i need to cry"... he is so intense...that you can hear the audience's Hearts beat...i hear mine too...XD really really amazing...
