The Amity Affliction - Never Alone (Audio) 

That message over the phone: "Hello? Are you there? Listening? I'm just trying to get in touch man. I've been so fuckin'.. so fuckin' down lately.. Like.. I don't know what's happening. I'm just so tired all the time. Trying to sleep.. I just.. I just lay there, quiet. I can't speak because everyone around me is passed out. My fucking mind is raging. Uh.. Hello? I don't even know why I called.. I think that.. I think that it might be time for me to leave. Just call it quits. I'm sick of this. It's the same fucking day every day. I think I sleep.. I can't be sure though. It's all the same now. Drink.. Drink.. Drink again. I'm tired, man. I'm thinking.. You don't wanna hear this.. I'm a mess. I'm sorry, man. I just don't know who to turn to. No one really hears me, you know? I speak.. at least I think I speak.. but no one hears me. I've just had enough. Hello?.. Hello? .. I shouldn't have called.. "

the voicemail always kills me

7 years later and im still hearing that voicemail on repeat from time to time. It hits so hard.

the ending

This song definitely needs a music video

the ending broke me. havent cried in about 3 months. ive just been feeling numb i heard this and i cried like ive never let a tear out of my eye. one of the few good songs that exist anymore. so, so much respect.

Why do the bands with a lot of screaming always sound so magical whenever they stop screaming?

the voicemail wow

I never knew it said "Message Deleted" at the end..... thats so sad.........

A few years ago I had a major surgery one that left me on a machine for days and days it was my life living on a machine I hated life I wanted to die I felt so alone and abandoned a black cloud had come over my life. On top of that it was my senior year of high school I couldn't attend Prom or Senior picnic or trips I was even kicked out of my band and everything I loved was gone I wanted to die. See I always knew about that amity affliction but never checked them out but once I did it was the greatest thing I could have done for my self in all honesty they saved my life and gave hope to my life every word in every song spoke to me on a emotional spiritual level it was as if I wasn't alone as if someone else's knew my pain. I was in a bad car accident and lost movement in my legs for a verry long time I had to learn how to walk again an adjust to what was now my new legs I wanted my life back. Honestly I thank these guys so much for the power they put in the songs and courage and strength they helped me find within my self to get my life back I am now in a band For Those Who Fall with some of the most wonderful people ever and I hope to create songs that speak to people and empower them to feel great and amazing about them self and unleash the power within and let other know they aren't alone it will be alright just like how the TAA did for me

I swear, this band never fails to open my eyes. I honestly love everything about this band. The ending of this song absolutely tore me up though.

That message at the end seriously opened my eyes. If you know anyone that is going through something, something that they can't handle alone, knowing that they need someone to help get through it. Help them, be that person in their life that makes them take a step farther in life. In the end, you could be the one who saved their life.

I sought this song out because I remembered the message at the end. In the throes of depression it’s uplifting to know there are other people going through the same struggles you are. You are loved. Hang in there and keep fighting the good fight. Do not give into the war within.

I remember I stepped into hot topic one day and this song came on... I stayed inside just to listen to the song and as soon as I downloaded the song I had it on replay for two days straight until I downloaded the rest of the album.. their songs made me cry and angry but also.. restored my hope

That message hit home.. :/ The memories come flooding back when I really listen to it every time I hear the song. It almost pains me to know how widespread pain like that is and can be.. Please stay strong everyone.

"It's the same fucking day every day"... I can't explain how much I relate to that.

The end was fucking deep as shit .... But so true ....

The voicemail, pretty much how I feel about life right now.

Breakdown gave me chills, but the ending made me cry.. Goddamn this is so good

The ending literally draws me to tears. For the sake of the song or not its so powerful. when you have had mates go through depression and you yourself, it just hits the spot. Relatable in so many different ways

This whole album they made hits me hard.... I've had to stop TWO of my closest friends from committing suicide. Being on the receiving end of how they think is so hard. I fought tooth and nail for MONTHS to show them that there is still hope in this world for them, and that they're not alone. For both of them I was their last hope and it's heart breaking... For anyone who's having a hard time hanging in there, seek help! There are people out there who need you, who love you and who want you. Spread the love people, you never know who may need it, who needs to hear it....

Fucking end of this song man, the recording. It explains what's going on in my life right now, and it hits so hard when I realize it. e.e

that ending always kills me.

the whole point of the voicemail at the end is to point out that EVERYONE at some stage in life feels exactly like this guy from time to time no one is immune to the perils of life, 'message deleted' the whole reason it was deleted is the fact that he ISNT the only one that feels this way the guy is not alone but recognising and playing on this voicemail message only gives that brief feeling of comfort and his friend knows this. it's called tough love and sometimes you have to make these decisions.

I showed my late brother this album when it first came out and he loved every song. I wish I had 1 last voicemail.

The monologue at the end gives me goosebumps.

Never listened too much to this band but as a recovering alcoholic -- this is a great song. Well done, Amity.

The ending just hits you in the throat and leaves you empty. Brilliant band.

9 years later and this song still cuts just as deep, that voicemail 😢gut wrenching.

From the darkest of days I feel like this song is the only thing that I can relate to the numb feeling it’s just getting stronger

This could be, I think this could be heartbreak.

Without fail the ending always gets me, years later it still does, and at this point it makes me reflect at how far I have come mentally. We are truly never alone, this band is so good at getting people through mental hardships such an amazing band

wow the end hits you like a train

how many times can one band that nobody cares about or knows about, save so many lives? I don't know if i can say that they have saved my life but i can be real and say that they have saved so many others. I can say that they have made my life better and get my mind out of those thoughts. To me the poetry that comes from these gentlemen are the best in the industry. Lyrically other bands don't can't even come close to what these guys have accomplished. They do it for the right reasons and no BS.

I'm pretty fucking alone

I just realized I'm listening to this on April 12th...

That fricking ending got to me

I feel alone... this song hits deep, im so glad I found this band. But I do wish I found it sooner. Wow this song

all these comments and nothing about that crazy ass breakdown.... 2:47 .

the first time I heard the end of this song I was already down in a hole an it made me break down so hard

Will, this one's for you Lyrics We struggle to our feet We all yearn to be free We fight and we're weak We all come out and grieve This goddamn life is our disease But we can't always fucking win We can always turn the tide We can all stand up and sing 'never alone' We fight together, not alone No matter where our bodies roam This place is now what we call home Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark Shed our tears and fight our fears We are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark Shed our tears and fight our fears We are one, the lonely hearts Listen, always We'll be drowning in our grave And we can't stand for ourself We have to stay afloat (We struggle to breathe) With the word that we try to believe When I lost my home and find my way home We can always turn the tide And we get lost and not be blind, never alone We fight together, not alone No matter where I might go (This place is not away from home) We are never, ever alone Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark Shed our tears and fight our fears We are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark Shed our tears and fight our fears We are one, the lonely hearts We are not lost here together We are not lost anymore We'll turn the tide, we'll calm the storm We are ready for war We are ready for war We are ready for war We are not lost here together We are not lost anymore Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark Shed our tears and fight our fears We are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark Shed our tears and fight our fears We are one, the lonely hearts Hello, are you there, with me? I'm just trying to get in touch man. I've been so fucking, so fucking down lately. Like, I don't know what's happening, I'm just so tired all of time. Trying to sleep' I just, I just lay there quiet. Can't speak 'cause everyone around me is passed out. My fucking mind's raging. Oh, hello? I don't even know why I called. I think it, I think it might be time for me to leave. Call it quits, I'm sick of this. It's the same fucking day, every day. I think I breathe, I can't be sure though. It's all the same now, drink, drink, drink again. I'm sorry man, I think it, you don't want to heat this. I'm a mess, I'm sorry man, I just don't know who to turn to. No one really hears me, you know? I speak, at least I think I speak, but no one hears me. I'm stepping out. Hello, hello? I shouldn't have called. (Message deleted)) We miss you will.

That voicemail will always be my regret. Sometimes I feel selfish for being asleep. For not picking up when it rang. I didnt think much of it, 5years later it still rings in my head

(message received on july 12 4:00 AM) Hello? Are You there? listen? i'm just Trying to get in touch man. i've been so fucking, so fucking down lately. like . i dont know whats happening. i'm just so tired all the time. trying to sleep. i just, i juts lay there quiet .

I speak at least i think i speak but no one hears me i"ve said enough , hello?, hello? i Shounl dnt have called (Message deleted) .......3 years ago try to kill myself and I identify with this :)

This whole album is beautiful on a whole other level, the amount of emotion you feel on each and every track...this is what i strive to be this is the kind of emotion i want to evoke in my own music, thank you for being my inspiration amity, I love you guys

Not gunna lie: I hated this song the first time I heard it, but it's grown on me since. It gets stuck in my head all the time now.

I'm going to be honest and say I've never liked heavy metal screamy music but this band is definitely one of favorites now

This band keeps me from falling into the darkness, but its still a constant struggle, I have friends but I'm no ones favourite, if I didn't ask my friends to hangout I would never see them and be forgotten about 🙁

“I don’t know if anybody out there can relate but I have a hard time with life, sometimes” -Chester Bennington Guy at the end of this song begs to differ with you bro Rest easy buddy, I miss you 😢😢😢

That’s so sad, normally I feel like people wouldn’t delete the message after confessing all their struggles. But the guy at the end seemed so far gone that he had to delete it I’ve never had anything tear me up like that in a long time, poor guy 😢😢😢

"Message deleted" NO STOP PLAYING WITH MY HEART

The band has always held the most emotion in each song. The screamer always sounds distraught and sad. Then the clean vocals always bring you up. "Never alone"!!!!

This song was my anthem years ago. Literally have Never Alone tattooed on my right arm, largely due to this song. Spent 2 years suicidal, I knew I could never do that to my wife. She saved my life. Depression was miraculously removed from my life, I have God to thank for that. Its so amazing listening to this in my little music room/ office. Staring at my minivan in the driveway, life is awesome now. Never wanted a minivan, but we were given the incredible gift of identical twin boys. I never in a million years thought life would ever be this good. If your feeling alone, just know there is a better way.......

These guys use the perfect combination of scream and clean singing to get a point across. love it.

the phonecall message at the end of this hits me so bad..

The songs speaks. It has a purpose to be liked. The way he describes life. Is meaningful.

one of my new favorite bands!

The amity affliction saved my life no cap

This place is now what we call home

This band is pure genius and amazing. Every album they release is perfect, I can listen all the way through without skipping one song and its all good. Love that, so hard to find these days it seems.

This hits me so fucking hard, my friend killed himself the other day, he was having trouble with drinking, and he didn't have anyone to turn to, he messaged me on Facebook while he was wasted, and he told me he loved me, that's the last thing I heard from him.

The message at the end man... wtf that shit spoke to me.... why...

It's like mission impossible trying not to cry at that voicemail!

Saw these boys in Perth, stuck through the storm for them

The ending made me wanna hug Dan and thank him for helping me get through bad times.

[Verse 1: Joel Birch] We struggle to our feet We all yearn to be free We fight yet we're weak We all call out our grief This goddamn life is our disease But we can't always fucking weep We can always turn the tide We can all stand up and sing: "Never alone" [Pre-Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch] We fight together, not alone We fight together, not alone No matter where our bodies roam This place is now what we call home, never alone [Chorus: Ahren Stringer] Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts [Verse 2: Joel Birch] We sink, or we swim When we're drowning in our grief But we can't ever lose hope We have to stay afloat We struggle to breathe We can win if we stand and believe We are lost on our own But we'll find our way home We can always turn the tide And we can all stand up and fight, never alone [Pre-Chorus: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch] We fight together, not alone We fight together, not alone No matter where our bodies roam This place is now what we call home, we are never, ever alone [Chorus: Ahren Stringer] Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts [Bridge: Joel Birch] We are not lost here together We are not lost anymore We'll turn the tide, we'll calm the storm We are ready for war [Breakdown: Joel Birch] We are ready for war We are ready for war We are not lost here together We are not lost anymore [Interlude: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch] Never alone, never apart 'Cause we're the lonely hearts Three, two, one, go [Chorus: Ahren Stringer] Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts Never alone, never apart We found each other in the dark We shed our tears and fight our fears As we are one, the lonely hearts [Outro: Matt Rogers] (Message received on April 12th, at 3:16 AM) "Hello? Are you there? Listening? I'm just trying to get in touch, man I've been so fucking, so fucking down lately, like I don't know what's happening, I'm just so tired all the time I'm trying to sleep, I just, I just lay there quiet Can't speak 'cause everyone around me is passed out And my fucking mind is raging Uh, hello? I don't even know why I called I think it, I think it might be time for me to leave Just call it quits, I'm sick of this It's the same fucking day, every day I think I sleep, I can't be sure though, it's all the same now Drink, drink, drink again, I'm tired, man I think it, you don't wanna hear this, I'm a mess I'm sorry, man, I just don't know who to turn to No one really hears me, you know? I speak, at least I think I speak, but no one hears me I've said enough Hello? Hello? I shouldn't have called" (Message deleted)

that voice mail hella describes how I feel.

that Phone message at the and gets me choked up becuase I've made a call similar to that or thought about it at some point.

My absolute favorite band. Thank god for dumbass ex boyfriends who introduce you to good music.

love this band

the message at the end. felt how real it is.

the ending is just a horrible message, it hits me right in the feels, its a dark path ive been slowly seeing myself go down. trying to turn this around, for me what kills me, the last words, "message deleted" hits the worst, the fact they listen and just deleted it like nothing happened. thats what kills, the fact you think you "friend" will help you out, but in reality they dont care or dont know how to help you. the most you can do for a person like this is just as simple as talk a few minutes could be a lifetime. :'(

I am usually stuck on first albums but this song alone almost makes this entire record monumental.

That ending fucked me up. I've gone through so many of those late night conversations with my friends. I'll never give up on you, Derek. Keep fighting guys, one day you'll see the good ending of the story.

The ending to voicemail to this song hits hard being in that position in life when you just need someone to talk to but no one's really there is hard...

Girls should be fangirling over this band...

This song left me speechless, the lyrics and the voicemail got me

the end of this song fucking kills me

The end fucking tore me apart

I just started listening to this band today and omg I'm already so into it. The ending to this song stabbed me in the feels.

this song gets to me soo much, then that last message... just makes my chest sink!

"Hello? Are you there? Listening? I'm just trying to get in touch, man I've been so fucking, so fucking down lately, like I don't know what's happening, I'm just so tired all the time I'm trying to sleep, I just, I just lay there quiet Can't speak 'cause everyone around me is passed out And my fucking mind is raging Uh, hello? I don't even know why I called I think it, I think it might be time for me to leave Just call it quits, I'm sick of this It's the same fucking day, every day I think I sleep, I can't be sure though, it's all the same now Drink, drink, drink again, I'm tired, man I think it, you don't wanna hear this, I'm a mess I'm sorry, man, I just don't know who to turn to No one really hears me, you know? I speak, at least I think I speak, but no one hears me I've said enough Hello? Hello? I shouldn't have called"

*"I think it might be the time to me to leave"*

The end really hits home with me.

the voicemail at the end gets me everytime

Crying because of the end.

The ending though.. It's breaking my heart..

The song was AMAZING, but the ending left me in tears.

Saw them play this song a few days ago,I dont think i've ever cried so hard.I fucking love these guys

Peep it's 2020 and this song is still iconic. Surprising it hasn't completely blown up yet

It had been a while since i listened to a song and felt like crying.

This song brings me to tears x

The end of this song hits hard. It's describing the way I feel anymore. no one hears me anymore. I don't even know if I sleep anymore. I just think that I need to call it quits. Just stop trying if all I do is fail. I'm a terrible friend, a terrible son, a terrible student, a terrible person in general. It's the same day, every day. I've just been so fucking down, man; I don't fucking know, man.

The voicemail hits me so hard, but the guy speaking it doesn't seem like he's even remotely upset during it. I wish they could have gotten a person with more emotions or experience with depression to speak it. It's still an amazing song though!

Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. *cries for eternity* The Ending Shattered Me.

CHILE!! i love this song!! ♥♥

seeing them live in 17 days, so excited.

Ooh Ryan using his ride as a ride. Very nice.

This is probably the freshest song I've heard in a long time

The voicemail is me ! I gotta live till April 7 then after that I can leave

the feels are strong with this one when it comes to the ending, damn dude.
