The other important thing to remember is the context of this video. Cody didn't want to play this live. He didn't think he could even get through it without breaking down. This was the very first time he played it live. You can hear him choking back the tears as he sings it. It was a deeply personal song.
I've always struggled to listen to this song without tears....while his perspective is with his dad mine was with my mom....this song was absolutely a catalyst to me beginning to forgive my mom and establishing a relationship with her after not having one for 20 years of my life as she left when i was very young for very similar reasons...i'm so glad you two did this song....because without it i might of went to my grave without the joy of truly knowing my mother. Shalom.
Don't know the band but based on this performance, the lead singer has very limited capabilities. I guess it was chosen due to the emotions but I hope he sounds better on the studio records. Oh, and based on this the band doesn't sound like a metal band at all but of course it's hard to judge based on a ballad - however, based on the way he sounds when he screams, I would expect it to more of a screamo band than a metal band.
Slayde Said it’s better on recordings but it also just grows on you. Also don’t know if it was mentioned but he found out before this particular show that night that his father (who he’s singing about in the song) died, so he was pretty emotional during the performance
My god, I broke down in tears watching this after not for many years. ACB does something to me that no other band could. I've never completely broken down at my job in over a decade. Contact came on one evening and I was done. So emotional and powerful.
This performance is forgivable only due to the emotion and honesty. But perhaps forgiveness isn’t needed. I don’t think this is a performance to be judged by traditional means, I think it’s more of a love letter being poured out.
I see As Cities Burn and I like immediately. Haven’t even seen this yet but if it’s the live version I love it. His performance is so raw and emotional. So captivating. Edit: Something I forgot to add before. I heard they Cody refuses to play this song anymore because of how emotional it makes him and how hard it is to play. And the night they recorded this live version he found out his dad passed away so it made him even more emotional. Yes, everyone. He’s very out of tune but try singing while holding back a wealth of tears. The only important thing that matters is was the music moving to you in any way? To me? Absolutely. Even if you don’t totally relate to the subject of this song I think everyone can see the point he’s trying to make. A lesson in Grace is very valuable.
I cried so hard watching this. Me and my dad had a rough relationship and he committed suicide. After all the shitty he did I still love him. If I saw him today I'd cry and hug him.
As cities burn was one of the pioneering Christian post hardcore bands. Sure this isn't the most polished performance, but this isn't even the lead singer. At the time it was his brother TJ.
I saw them last night and Cody closed the show out with this song. It always gets to me because my “father” abandoned my mother and I. And in all honesty, I still haven’t forgiven my father for leaving. I never saw him again. But I know Christ loves me and has forgiven me, so why can’t I forgive my father? This song hits hard. I absolutely love this band. Got to hang out with TJ after the show and he and Cody are two of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Thank God for bands like as cities burn. Such powerful, raw, and REAL music.
I never forgave my dad for the things he did to my mom, but I always still loved him, & still feel love for him even though he's deceased. I believe in love even without forgiveness. I find it difficult to forgive very painful things when I can't forget them, so I don't expect forgiveness for the painful wrongs I've done. The memories of certain painful things inhibit my ability to forgive them, but I'm content with it, therefore it doesn't burden me. I've made peace with it within myself & I don't let my inability to forgive certain painful things affect my capacity for, or level of love that I feel. Some things are simply undeserving of forgiveness.
It's a super tough, raw song and a real song that he wrote about his own life and lack there of. I think him and his brother had a depressing, hard childhood but yeah he is as stiff as a board and on the edge trying to make it through that one.
The bravest part of the song is getting in front of that many people then having your voice crack like you're going through a second puberty and just rolling with it. It takes balls to have them drop. #WebbWeek
Unsure of the veracity, but i had heard that Cody had found out that his dad had passed away earlier that day, then performed this song that night, and that is where the emotion came from for this. Could be untrue, but that may be an explanation
Hey Vin, I loved your debate against the "Hebrew Israelites", do you have more? Also, do you have any videos on the gospel you believe? ( Faith plus works? Grace through faith alone? Eternal security?) Grace and peace to you and your family bro.
How come you never reacted to architects? Nhilist, gone with the wind, doomsday, a match made in heaven, mortal after all , death is not defeat. Are Good songs by them
If you want to listen to good Christian metal, listen to August Burns Red. You don't need anyone else. Theyre technicality and aggression tops most metal bands in general.
This is the back up vocalist and brother of the lead singer. This song isn't a good example of the band AT ALL. They're a post hardcore band and pioneered the Christian metal genre, especially on Solid State records. This song is just a one-off and they literally don't have another song on the album that sounds like this.
Pretty sure he’s struggling because of how emotional the song is for him. But as stated in the other comment, he only sings backup with the exception of this song for the most part
The story i’ve heard is that he wrote this song about his father, who abandoned their family for heroin. He’d found out his dad had passed away a few hours prior to this performance.

This was the very first time he played it live. You can hear him choking back the tears as he sings it. It was a deeply personal song.
I watched him play it live 3 times after this. Even like a cool heavier version of it.

Thank you for being so vulnerable.
One of my all time favorites from one of my all time favorite bands

@@Jmack7861 Fair enough - you could definitely feel his emotions here.
My god, I broke down in tears watching this after not for many years. ACB does something to me that no other band could. I've never completely broken down at my job in over a decade. Contact came on one evening and I was done. So emotional and powerful.
I recently rediscovered ACB and Contact hits so unbelievably hard after deconstructing my beliefs 😢
This performance is forgivable only due to the emotion and honesty. But perhaps forgiveness isn’t needed. I don’t think this is a performance to be judged by traditional means, I think it’s more of a love letter being poured out.
Also he found out his dad died witch this song is about

Wow so emotional for him love the band also
His father didn't pass away when they recorded this live. Last time I heard, they both reconnected.
Tekki 7^3 Well, if that’s true than that is a far better turnout than his father just dying. Haha
@@bobbyhorne2291 heck yeah, honestly makes the song better in my opinion
Just saw them last week and he ended the set with this song. Beautiful
I cried so hard watching this. Me and my dad had a rough relationship and he committed suicide. After all the shitty he did I still love him. If I saw him today I'd cry and hug him.

This one is all Cody.
I never had anyone I knew irl to share this song with so seeing two people react to it is kind of cathartic.

Album review for the thirteenth step by a perfect circle that would be amazing

VinAnd Sori should compile a metal tier list that would be interesting to see.

Is this the vocalist’s style or does he struggle vocally? I can’t tell at this point.
