I discovered this song when i was 16 and, at the moment it felt cool, but nothing more than a good song that i enjoyed with one of my then-friends. Now i'm 27, on the verge of desperation and sadness after a bunch of bad decisions and regrets on my career, but somehow, today my spotify threw this song on the mix and Im repeating to myself "No death won't be my lover, I've got so much left to give" and suddenly, i still feel sad but a little sparkle of hope grew on me. Thank you guys, you gave me a wake up call to stay safe for at least another day
@@tifitiltifitit hey there, Almost two years since this comment, I’m almost 29 too, I feel better, still struggling but not depressed anymore, therapy is a blessing and thank you for the comment 😄
Metalcore without the hivemind ego. Nicest dudes of all time. Remember, it's not about the scene, it's all about the music. Accept all and love that new people are into the same music as you.
artardFTW nah I didn't mean that man, I was just making a joke, coz 1100 decibels would create a black hole bigger than the observable universe so 1 billion would surely kill you, so maybe you were just a little too suicidal to wanna do that. I love this song btw, it takes me to a world of emotion and I'd never talk down to it.
i swear i’m getting closer to deafness every time i play this😂, all of the youngbloods and chasing ghosts album are just some of the best songs out there
Seems life forever, Like forever Since I tore myself apart And left my friends in the wake Of countless tears and fading life. When I couldn't seem to grasp the life I lead And the lives I touch Its one year on now One year on, one year on Still I struggle with the same demons I shed as I laid there lost in my head Lost in my head (Lost in this goddamn hospital bed) I'm not the same man And I don't dare try (Try to uncover all the darkness I hide) Its like my demons are my lovers But I've got friends by my side I've got hope in my eyes And dreams to aspire too And the whole wide world to watch below (And death won't be my lover I've got so much left to give And take my life with subtle steps Instead of not wanting all that is left) Instead of trying to take my own life Its one year on And I'm stronger, I want to live much longer Not grow old and bitter And not jaded And not hate what life gave me Let the fear wash away Let the demons blunt their claws On a life that's full of mistakes But always searching for much more I won't die defeated I won't die defeated I won't die defeated I won't die Cause I've got friends by my side I've got hope in my eyes And dreams to aspire too And the whole wide world to watch below (and death won't be my lover I've got so much left to give And take my life with subtle steps Instead of not wanting all that is left No death won't be my lover I've got so much left to give And take my life with subtle steps Instead of not wanting all that is left)
"Youngbloods" will forever be my favourite amity affliction album because of when I first discovered it, my life was a mess.i was living in a shithole with a drug addict father. Skipping school. Graffiti. Pills. Underage drinking. Self harm. And if it was for a mate of mine (rip) showing me Youngbloods I wouldn't be here today...🙏🏼.
Below 1 Million clicks? I wish I had known TAA before This could be Heartbreak ... this concert was the first real concert I had... TAA was so epic... best concert where Joel took a step on a box and you heard the beginning of Pittsburgh and the lights began to shine to the stage and everybody knew... it's Pittsburgh and it was so quiet, also when the bells rang because of "I bring the weather with me" to which I remember at the funeral of a good friend of mine who took her life an end and it rained so hard .... and I was at all of the concerts since then at home at munich.. these guys gave me back my will to live, especially Joel.. got his Umbrella at my arm to remember and a slogan at the back of my hand (maybe wrong english, I'm sorry for that) "Never give up" on top of a Rose with it's thorns, scening life and love with all it's beauty and cruel... I appreciate every song of you guys and i'm so sorry that you've lost so much because this f... corona crisis you deserve so more of attension.. and not only because you help so many fcked up people out there... Seems like forever, and out ❤
I saw these guys in Glasgow, saw Joel walk past. Pointed and shouted "HOLY SHIT IT'S JOEL BIRCH!". Then after the show, Ahren went past and I went "I love you!" on accident. Goood times.
I was about 17/18 when these guys played thier first shows and filmed Fruity Lexia in a dive bar that supported hxc, Brisbane Hardcore was pretty good for a few years, the gigs were small and personal, violent mosh pits, drunk as fuck, best days, these guys were pretty cool the times I met them
When the "I won't die defeated" part hit I literally felt the life rushin right straight back into me! Thanks TAA! Music from bands like you guys and so many others and my friends are literally the only 2 things keeping me from saying fuck it and quitting. So glad you/Beartooth are on warped tour! Thanks so much for what you guys do I'm sure your music has helped so many people you may not ever know the full extent. Thank you dudes so much! I'm sure your next album will kick ass!
I dived on stage when this was being filmed and i was so disappointed when the music video came out and i wasn't in it hahaha but its such a great fucking video!!
Pittsburgh was the bands Apex thats why, this songs great, but it cant compare to Pittsburgh or that album. A common pattern many bands follow is they first come around and release alotta raw heavy material and start to get big, even tho its often times a tad generic. They work their way up to a 10/10 album thats iconic to their career, tho alotta old fans prefer the original albums simply cuz theyre often "heavier" (and typically less produced) than the band will float for like 2 years, until they just keep try to be experimental aka go mainstream, then try to work their way back to their roots and never quite nail it. ALOT of bands have done this lol
The Amity Affliction fucking rocks. There music is amazing and i dint care if people dont like them cause thats their opinion but my opinion is that their fucking amazing and make good music :)
It's like my demons are my lovers.... guitar.... but I've got friends FRIENDS by my side I got hope HOPE in my eyes and DREAMS to ASPIRE to! And the whole wide world to watch below!! And death WON'T be my lover ohohhhh!!! I won't die defeated!!! Love the chant!
i know youve seen this a million times, but this song did indeed save my life. It was on repeat while i was in the hospital for an overdose. My gf had broken up with me and i was contemplating. I got a phone call that distracting me and all i can remember is looking up this song and playing it. I had someone call 911, cause i knew what was next if i didnt. Thriughout my whole hospital visit and the month in the mental, this song played on repeat in my head. Thank you, for saving me. thank you for saving many. though we may lose brothers and sisters along the way, just know your music is saving many. we just have to reach out further.
