The official music video for Yellowcard's song "Awakening" off of Southern Air - out now on Hopeless Records! www.yellowcardrock.com www.hopelessrecords.com
Gonna be cheesy, but I listened to yellowcard for the last 17 years or so. Only this last year has this song actually come back into my life and helped me through some life shit. But I had a drink an tomorrow comes the rest of my life 🙂
I heard this on my way to Phase Fest in Kansas City. Never have words to an old song hit me harder. Wait, if this is old that means I'm old.....Elder EMO for life!
I love Yellowcard so much! They have inspired me since the very first day I started listening to them. I gotta say that listening to them has made me a very big fan, and I have been for atleast 5 years now. It's so cool how I found out about them from either Burnout: Revenge, or Burnout 3: Takedown. I still remember waking up and seeing that Sean Mackin tweeted me, and me and Ryan Mendez talking hockey. I will never stop loving this band with all my heart. I love you guys! LONG LIVE YC ROCK!!!;D
Hopefully you guys see this. I met you guys when you came to Lincoln, Nebraska. With One Ok rock and Finch. I met you guys at Duffy's across the street. I owe you guys a shot. Ive been listening to you guys ever since i was a kid. The music never gets old. To get the opportunity to meet you guys meant the world to me. Tried my best to not fanboy.
This song was really powerful and motivational and this video came as a shocking surprise! I hope they could make another one but still love you guys :P it was cute really xD just unexpected
I love the song. I adore the band. Listened to them my whole life. But this video... It made me cry in pain. More pain than singing their songs to girls and still getting rejection.
I love Yellowcard, have for many many years, but my first thought when I saw this was "Really? All Time Low JUST did this." Animated videos seem kind of half-assed to me. This is an amazing song by an incredible band and this video doesn't begin to do it justice.
LYRICS Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I 'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life And with this empty glass I will break the past 'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes I want this to be my awakening I give this one to you An anthem full of truth I tell you now an epic tale of what you put me through And even though you don't Deserve one of your own A melody, a song about the life that you let go I can't believe that I still care enough to write Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I 'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life And with this empty glass I will break the past 'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes I want this to be my awakening Yes I miss you still And probably always will I'm living with a busted heart that I will have until I find the strength I know It's somewhere in my bones To pull the curtain up again and get on with this show At least you know that I still care enough to write Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I 'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life And with this empty glass I will break the past 'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes And maybe I will see A different destiny Like knowing you at all Was only a bad dream I want this to be my awakening No rest for the wicked they say Forgive me if I try to change No rest for the wicked they say Forgive me if I try to change Bottoms up tonight I drink to you and I 'Cause with the morning comes the rest of my life And with this empty glass I will break the past 'Cause with the morning I can open my eyes And maybe I will see A different destiny Like maybe knowing you at all Was only a bad dream I want this to be my awakening
they're my favourite band since i heard them for the first time ten years ago... and they will surely stay my favourite band. BUT DAMN THAT VIDEO IS CRAP! Holy $h!1 - that song deserves way more than this -.-
I don't necessarily hate their approach to the video. I can see where they were going with it and all. I believe though that this track screams live action. Whatever though, "Southern Air" is still 🐐
I completely disagree. Personally, I believe Paper Walls is their strongest album, I never tire of it. But even with so many albums since then, the band has grown and what sets them apart is the fact that they sing about everything, including incredibly personal moments, which they showed on Southern Air. It's just a freakin' video, you're going to judge a band off of their sense of humor? Who cares. If you have so much hate for the band, why did you bother to watch the video at all?
You know what? I have heard of it. It was simple melodies and immature lyrics. It takes a real musician to actually understand the depth and emotion in this new YC, just because they are on a record label doesn't mean they are any worse, back then Ryan didn't know how to sing, he admitted it himself, he has matured as a songwriter and a vocalist, and their lineup is much better now than it was then. If this makes you sick, you need to take a reality check. This is talent.
The video was hella weird and at the end it looked like they were all about to kiss xD. The scene with the ticket booth guy was hilarious though. I love this song and this album and I was a bit worried Southern Air wouldn't be as good as When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes but it's just as good if not better! I really want to see my favorite band in concert! One funny thing is is usually I can't wait for a certain artists next album but in YC's case I want them to take their time with it. :)
Why is everyone complaining? Don't y'all have better things to do? Sheesh.. The video was cute and the song was amazing. @HopelessRecords Thanks for the awesome video! It was cute.
OK Folks Lets Do This! Listen to tis SoNG and grab a bottle, a shot, cider in a bar or any anywhere tonite, drink it! Tomoro upon opening ur eyes is the moment of awakening for everyone!!! Happy New Yr everybody across the world! :->
