“This song, believe it or not, is just about the place where I moved back to on the Sunshine Coast. I now live by the river, and for the first time in about four or five years I felt really at home somewhere. Brisbane had been my home for just over ten years, but getting back to the ocean and the water and the slowness of life on on the Coast was like a breath of fresh air for me. I instantly felt calmer, I felt grounded, and like I said earlier, I feel like I’m finally back at home. Everything seems so peaceful when I’m by the ocean, I know that makes me sound like a bit of a hippy, but when I’m near it I honestly feel like there’s nothing in the world that could really be that bad, because of the serenity of the surrounds; sitting out there, feeling the sun on me, listening to the water move back and forth - it all connects with me on a really weird, but deep level… I’ll never be leaving it again, I don’t think city is for me, but like everything else I ever do it takes a whole lot of failure before I finally admit it.” From joel
I've been staring for weeks At the cold rusted sheets And the broken down pillars Of the years that passed by At the cold depths of rivers And the moons that have fallen And risen as halves I've been star gazing and Whispering to myself in the night And by the river at dawn I have discovered the light I've been watching the tides And I've been feeling their flow And it's a humbling experience To watch as they grow Down Where the beauty of our dreams Touches the beauty of the sky And the stars in our oceans Become the stars in our eyes Where we reach out to forever For just one last grasp at hope Where the tides ebb and flow Is all our minds really know They leave in short breaths Returning to give And to hold and to steal And it's calming and it heals And it's softening it seems To leave my past behind Join the tide And head out toward the sea Down Where the beauty of our dreams Touches the beauty of the sky And the stars in our oceans Become the stars in our eyes Where we reach out to forever For just one last grasp at hope Where the tides ebb and flow Is all our minds really know I'm lost in a moment Where the tide embraces me Where I fall into the river And set sail toward the sea I'm lost and I'm dreaming I'm lost and I'm feeling Like this has waited Forever to finally take me [x2] Down Where the beauty of our dreams Touches the beauty of the sky And the stars in our oceans Become the stars in our eyes Where we reach out to forever For just one last grasp at hope Where the tides ebb and flow Is all our minds really know
This band has literally saved me from entering darker places in my life. They sing from the heart and talk about some of the more difficult things in life. And they help you realize there is plenty of beautiful things in this world to stay for...

I'm in love with Amity. It makes me wanna cry. That's how much I'm in love with them. They know how to make music. All this R&B and Pop music is all just shit. This is real music. No one understands that anymore. I am so happy that I found Amity because I relate to all of their songs.
***** actually in my opinion music such as anaconda. Smoke weed every day, and any of Justin biebers songs aren't real music because they have no meaning
Bruh please, there's a difference between real music and meaningless trash. And just remember you're the one who started this since you decided to reply to my comment which had nothing to do with you and be a smart arse.
who the hell are the three people who disliked this like how could you its so symbolic and amazing like get off your high horse and apreciate music for what it is
Dr.Thunder in my opinion is pretty straight forward as a song when it comes to depth. The other's I like as well but I believe HMAS Lookback is the epitome of what a good song should be. I love the imagery and wording, the story that unfolds. Anyone can take a song and relate it to themselves... to me this does, hence why it's my favorite. I like every single song in all of their albums... well the first one not so much haha.
Sean Artiles It's like how my cousin's boyfriend's favourite song is Chasing Ghosts because he was planning to commit suicide and he knew my cousin would do the same and the lyrics in CG are "Please don't follow in my footsteps, cherish all you have left", he did end up committing suicide :/, R.I.P Josh Costello.
Essa música é tão foda, mas tão foda, que cara, eu nem sei como ela existe, ela me faz voltar ao passado e lembrar bons tempos que eu tive ao lado de uma garota muito especial, são tantas lembranças, daqueles momentos tão bons da minha vida ao lado dela. obrigado The Amity Affliction, por compor esta música épica e única
I honestly just got into a a about a month ago and listen to their newer stuff first. I was expecting this album to be bad because it's older but honestly it might be my favorite
I often come here when it is very very hard times in my life. For some people this kind of songs are disgusting and not listenable, but for me it helps, helps so much that I release my saddness elsewhere and keep emotions via this kind of music. I am sorry for sharing negative emotions but I have nobody to share :(
+Tristan Knittle Amity is, they announced it yesterday a new album will be coming out. the new single is "I Bring The Weather With Me" look it up, it's so good.
Because his soul is speaking more truth then any truth anyone can tell you. These guys are the fucking best band ever. Saved hella lives when the darkness was at its worst!!
