Absolutely. This song, and most of their new album is about spiritual enlightenment. This song is about someone who fell to the dark - ego - and realized that they should have believed wishing that they could have believed when they first saw us - enlightenment - but it was too good to be true. Then he understands the point of existence at all, to rise above, and that determination and hope is our humanity, we are all fighting for inner peace and must fight together to achieve it outwardly.
All blossoms die in the light of our new culture Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered Countless lessons lie in every fever dream A million voices asking, what does it all mean? I’ve lost all direction I’ve lost all my direction And now I wish, that I would have believed Could have believed Escape, escape Nature’s indifferent hand Retreat, retreat To the bliss of our creation We were born and raised To live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird from the north Our hearts will roam in search of warmth Two hands come together to pray for greater yields Two poles of a compass guided by a field In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance Was this place made, or was it here by chance? I’ve lost all direction I’ve lost all my direction And now I wish, that I would have believed Could have believed Escape, escape Nature’s indifferent hand Retreat, retreat To the bliss of our creation We were born and raised To live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird from the north Our hearts will roam in search of warmth Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith From birth to death, we search for what’s yet to be known We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown Born and raised to live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird from the north Our hearts will roam in search of warmth We were born and raised
george, dallas, and wade make a great trio for the vocals! i feel bad for george, but good for him for resting his voice. he doesn't need to prove us anything, we already know what talent he has!
GREAT SONG. this band keeps getting better and better. people need to give them more respect. for a scene that has a million bands that sound the same across the board its incredible they are able to sound unique. BRAVO
Man, the voices in this band are so unique, one of the best combinations. I really wanted Alexisonfire to be my favorite band, it makes me sad that the equalization and melody of some songs it's just weird, and they didn't create that many hits. I'm currently listening to "city and colour", which is the solo career of of Dallas Green, one of the singers.
Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow, I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window. Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face. Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith. Such good lyrics.
I personally think Alexisonfire should be headlining their concert's instead of playing 2nd to Billy Talent! Alexisonfire you rock and At the A.C.C I was sniffing line's of cocaine beside the drummer's mom! You rock and LIVE ON! PLEASE DO ATLEAST 2 MORE ALBUM'S
This, and Dog's Blood, are likely my favorite songs you guys do. PLEASE come out with more music...it's hard to think of a band I'm more excited to hear new stuff from. I know there was a long hiatus and things were uncertain for a while but now that you guys are back...full throttle baby!!!
holy shit they filmed this at the chinatown market place in mississauga, and the restaurant within the market area, been to that place a million times, didnt even know they filmed it there ahah, gotta love alexisonfire
i have never seen a band being so awesome live in my whole life. i'll probably take this farewell tour concert as the BEST CONCERT EVER, for the rest of my life. thank you guys. when you came to brazil, it meant the world to us.
PLEASE !! Do a Goodbye tour or something !! We need to see you on tour one last time !!! :( Like in the good old days when you guys came to the Metropolis in Montreal.
To all the people who say they need to change it up, come on. Srsly? If you LISTEN this is a lot different from their older stuff. And it's STILL kickass.
Its not about how many people hear your music but how many people are touched by it.. And these guys right here make music that is amazing and doesnt get old and boring like gaga songs.
He used a lot of his material from Alexisonfire in City and Colour because he wanted them originally to be used in a different way than they were used for Alexisonfire.
I love it how this clip captures the energy of their live performance. They are one of the best, if not the best band I have seen live. I miss them already.
Man! What a rock I've been under! I loved their cover of The Dead Heart from Midnight Oil. and heard their name as they get a bit of airplay on the radio around here in southern Ontario, but have I ever overlooked a great band over the last decade! This is an AWESOME song AlexisonfireVEVO! Prompting me to checkout more!

2024- Still Vibing to this gem!
Same. Not sure why they don’t play this live this is my favorite song by them
3 great vocals in one band.
I would agree although Dallas can't do his higher parts live anymore
@@chadcassidy1580 I really think he still can
Chad Cassidy You’re insane. His voice aged like a fine wine
One
@@maku_2002 agreed
love the combination of vocal styles, so rare for a hardcore band to be willing to let clean vocals have so much dominance in their songs
That's exactly what makes this band what it is. I personally wouldn't refer to this as hardcore. But I love it!
It's actually post hardcore
@@richcore Lol shut up.
@@ryleighs9575 He's right, don't try to insult someone for actually offering correct information
@@ryleighs9575 he's right though lol
The chorus in the song is magnificent
What isn’t in this song?
This band changed my life
The riff at the beginning is just too awesome \m/
This is likely one of my top 4 by them ever.
:D
@Ben Smith happiness by the kilowatt will always be my number one 🤘🏻♥️
whose here still to this day listening, nothing compares.
any 1 still listen to in 2020? best band hands down : )
Nope I’m with ya
Fucking beautiful song . And I mostly listen to rap .
still listening In Brockville Ontario. :~)
also they are theonlybandever
I'm planning to cover this song!
Absolutely. This song, and most of their new album is about spiritual enlightenment.

Old Crows / Young Cardinals is a perfect album from end-to-end. No weak tracks.
They finally played this at born and raised 24' for all those in the future coming back for more
All blossoms die in the light of our new culture
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking, what does it all mean?
I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Two hands come together to pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass guided by a field
In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance
Was this place made, or was it here by chance?
I’ve lost all direction
I’ve lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature’s indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith
From birth to death, we search for what’s yet to be known
We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown
Born and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
We were born and raised
Amazing lyrics wow
This song got me into Alexisonfire, and it's still among my favourite songs by them
Accidents for me. But all their songs kick ass
Two of my favourite things ever, Chinese dragons/lions and Alexisonfire!
The best thing to come out of Canada since maple syrup.
@Ben Smith Unfortunately I have not had the pleasure.
Along with Trailer Park Boys and Ed Edd and Eddy
10 years later I'm still coming back for more!! Such an amazing song 🤟💯
This is nothing short of a rock and roll masterpiece by one of the best bands to ever exist. It checks all the boxes!
Can't believe this is the City and Colour guy. this is awesome!
props to wade for the screams. i love how this band will transition from heavy screaming into dallas's beautiful vocals. gold
SO HAPPY THEY'RE BACK!! (Even if it's just to preform at festivals!!) :D
FRET NO MORE
george, dallas, and wade make a great trio for the vocals! i feel bad for george, but good for him for resting his voice. he doesn't need to prove us anything, we already know what talent he has!
Woohoo, Canada is proud!
How can a band that makes tunes like this split? Seriously? This was the perfect balance of screamo and melodic vocals.
GREAT SONG. this band keeps getting better and better. people need to give them more respect. for a scene that has a million bands that sound the same across the board its incredible they are able to sound unique. BRAVO
My husband and I are extras in this video!! 😀👍
No one cares.
damn thats awesome
Goals
Carlos Carlos shut up. That is fucking amazing.
you and your husband are hamburgers!
"Even disbelieve requires a leap of faith"..... beautiful
Man, the voices in this band are so unique, one of the best combinations. I really wanted Alexisonfire to be my favorite band, it makes me sad that the equalization and melody of some songs it's just weird, and they didn't create that many hits. I'm currently listening to "city and colour", which is the solo career of of Dallas Green, one of the singers.
This song still gives me fully encompassed chills half way through 2021, wish these guys were still together. We didn't deserve ALEXISONFIRE!!
The lyrics are ever so relevant right now!
Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow,
I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window.
Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god’s face.
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith.
Such good lyrics.
I personally think Alexisonfire should be headlining their concert's instead of playing 2nd to Billy Talent! Alexisonfire you rock and At the A.C.C I was sniffing line's of cocaine beside the drummer's mom! You rock and LIVE ON! PLEASE DO ATLEAST 2 MORE ALBUM'S
Their three voices... Such a match... Can't wait for any new stuff from them !
I miss this band.I remember buying their CD back in middle school 2006.Luv you dudes❤️
A Stand up super deluxe top shelf Canadian Treasure!!!
Fuck I wish i had have been more aware of this band first time around. Only really discovered them in the past couple of years.
My childhood is in this song. They ROCK! 🤟
Hey man enjoy it now! The music isn’t going anywhere
born & raised in St.Catharines, ON !! Standup !!!!
This was 10 years ago......
Crazy looking back, right?
As a non-native speaker I always understand 'opossum's day' in the beginning. Makes me smile every time.
The vocal lines in this one play to Dallas' strengths for sure...a great listen.
has always been one of my favorite bands, will remain to be. Canada is proud of you
this is the best music video but the best song is this could be aywhere in the world!
so proud to say i got to go to the very last show of their farewell tour :') i miss them, but it was a good ride.
D-1, really can't wait for the new song!
This song is so awesome... One band that does truly get better with age!
Their new album is amazing, just wanted to tell you that 12 years later!
This, and Dog's Blood, are likely my favorite songs you guys do. PLEASE come out with more music...it's hard to think of a band I'm more excited to hear new stuff from. I know there was a long hiatus and things were uncertain for a while but now that you guys are back...full throttle baby!!!

Never noticed till just now that Dallas used the same cadence and lyrics for "harder than stone"
i have never seen a band being so awesome live in my whole life. i'll probably take this farewell tour concert as the BEST CONCERT EVER, for the rest of my life.
thank you guys. when you came to brazil, it meant the world to us.

Return of the kings! Hopefully it's the beginning of them coming back permanently
Clean vocals on point as always. Hats off to the lads up North. 🤘
I MISS THIS BAND. ANOTHER REUNION TOUR PLEASE!

This song has the perfect blend of everything.

theonlybandever
Ahh, I can't wait until they get here (Kingston, On) in December! I'm freaking OUT.
Going to miss them
In the end of days . This is what the good guys listen too.
They're playing Toronto on December 26.
Long live Alexisonfire!
Very good band wase there at show in Montreal! verry cool!
the greatest thing that has ever, ever come out of canada!!!
He uses the same melody as this chorus on 'Ladies and Gentlemen' from C&C-Hurry and the Harm, listen to the songs back to back, eery but cool.
He used a lot of his material from Alexisonfire in City and Colour because he wanted them originally to be used in a different way than they were used for Alexisonfire.
I've grown up listening to this band, and I will never stop loving these guys
I love it how this clip captures the energy of their live performance. They are one of the best, if not the best band I have seen live. I miss them already.
whenever i listen to alexisonfire or city and colour, i always get those goosebumps.
@xScreamToRisex Dallas is the one singing the chorus, with the white collared shirt on playing guitar. His side project is City And Colour.
well you don't have to wait no more :D providing that you've got tickets of course...
man the Vancouver concert is gunna be sweet
Man! What a rock I've been under! I loved their cover of The Dead Heart from Midnight Oil. and heard their name as they get a bit of airplay on the radio around here in southern Ontario, but have I ever overlooked a great band over the last decade! This is an AWESOME song AlexisonfireVEVO! Prompting me to checkout more!
I really want the electic that dallas uses in this video!!!
My favourite band ever.
What a great band welcome back boys the new tunes are great!!!!!!Familiar drug....:):)
Cant wait to see these guys in Melbourne! SO PUMPED!
I remember hearing this song on much music when i was 10. still one of my favorite songs today. so glad i found out about them.
This song is still a gem, but I still don't understand why the video's theme is "Fun on Chinese New Years" 😂
Dragons are cool ok
Those dragons are so awesome!
this song took me into a trance!
they were honestly just the best...too bad dallas left to do his own shit
I really enjoy dallas' other project a lot. A couple of years ago I found out he was in this band!
City & Colours
I cannot believe this music video came out on my birthday in 09. Holy fuck!
Never heard this song before but I like It! Lol especially when you can't fall asleep... Ots not too loud and not too quiet! Its Awesome!!!!
