My mother was unfaithful to my father at a young age. We tried moving on, trying to keep it together, but I could see that my father didn't have love for her anymore, he faked love in front of me because he felt it would have been best for a young child to keep his parents. At said young age, he continually came up to me and put her down, making me disrespect her. Being the most important figure in my life, I listened to him. We were supposed to move on from that horrific day. For years I've tried to put my feelings into words. If you look at these lyrics, they can't describe me any better. I feel like I'm Myles Kennedy singing this TO my father. Now, as a grown man, I feel like if I could have told him to just leave her, all of our lives wouldn't have been filled with so much pain. I have developed a great relationship with my mom as I got older, because I appreciate that she tried to make up for her mistake, but my father NEVER let her live it down, thank you Alter Bridge for giving me something that I can use to finally get what I need to off my chest.
The biggest mistake your father made was not leaving her on the spot, although with the bias the government has toward women in these kinda cases I can imagine he mostly stuck with her to avoid having every cent he earns taken from him .
I love Alter Bridge. This is one of the very rare bands that have produced an amazing album every time.You can't go wrong with any of their albums. So excited for this one!!!
My son let me at his music library 2 yrs ago. Hello, AlterBridge! Now I'm an internet DJ with a weekly rock show and I can assure you I'll be playing THIS!!
This song isn't much harder than Isolation, and that was their first no. 1 single on the Mainstream Rock Charts for seven weeks. This song is absolutely amazing and full of passion. Another victory for Alter Bridge.
I can't put into words what Alter Bridge songs mean to me and I'm not just talking about how perfect Myles vocals are combined with the guitar and drums, but specially because their songs always seem to find a way to fit in so perfectly with situations in my life. So realistic, so deep, so genuine, and yet so comforting and uplifting. It is without a doubt my favorite band of all time.
I can't believe people saying the song is too heavy. IMO it`s almost a perfect balance between power and melody, the riff is "All I Was" album style, but the melodic touch is still there.
Mark Tremonti has always favored metalish guitar work. That's why when he did a solo album he went with what he liked. Same thing Alter Bridge is doing. They are working together to create music that THEY like. Respect them for it.
I had lost my hopes for a comeback from Alter Bridge. But today I'm filled with hopes of a future with Alter Bridge's music. Not only a great comeback, the music is really awesome and it is way better than their last album and all others! HEIL ALTER BRIDGE!
i can def hear the darker feel the music has. There are no "happy" guitar parts that a lot of ab songs have and im loving it! and this is the single which is usually the more accesible song from the album so i can only imagine how sick the rest will be. Another masterpiece from ab it looks like. Man I remember when ab first started and i was mad cause i wanted more creed. So happy there still going strong!
Agreed man. Addicted to pain is starting to grow on me. I remember having the ODR album, listened the songs and decided it wasn't for me. I started playing guitar and about 2 years later the ODR track played at random on my PC. I was kind of blown away, because I heard things I didn't hear before. And so the rest of the album grew on me and eventually AB became my favourite band.
0:59 Myles: "Hey Mark, am I doing it right?" 1:01 Mark: "You're learning." LMFAO LOVE these two! Their chemistry on stage is outstanding! Can't wait to see them again!!
You know that feeling when, you haven't heard new material from your favorite band in awhile. Then you hear their new songs and you get reminded of why you love their music in the first place... that's how I felt after listening to this one song. I AM SO BUYING THE NEW ALBUM!!!
They're just finally letting mark have his Thrash way :D Myles's understanding of melody and harmony + mark's understanding of thrash and shredding = one bad mother of an album.
Why I love Alter Bridge? Because every their song has someting of special.. dark or not you feel always the emotion, the effort to write the lyrics and compose the songs.. every time I listen their music is like going to the best restaurant of the city and eat the finest dish there is! you always feel satisfied and never disappointed.
AB has some hard songs on previous albums, i am personally loving this single to death, i think is refreshing that the guitar and drums are more heavy but the melodies and singing remains the same. loving it!!
Blown away by this new album. they keep getting better and this album is by far the best yet!!! never would expect something this good from anybody in Creed.
because it fills the empty space. Trust me. No matter how strong your voice is, it's always a good idea to layer the tracks. Makes them stand out more in the mix.
Totally agreed. AB's deep, dark lyrics are what make the songs and the albums. Knowing the story behind them makes them that much better. i.e.(while not heavy at all) In loving memory was written about mark's mother passing. Things like that make a band what it is.
Jesus Christ... I didn't even realize their album was so close to releasing. I click on this and get my mind blown. I loved the Tremonti(and I mean LOOOOVED) solo album, but it's good to hear those riffs with Myles singing!!
I think this song rocks! It has a lot of the "Tremonti project" sound to it, And that album rocked! So, it, combined with Myles' extra guitar support and his lyrical genius, you just cant go wrong!
I can't get over how fucking incredible this sounds. I've had it on repeat since I heard it last night and I already know the lyrics. I don't think I've ever been so excited about an album. I thought they'd peaked with AB III, apparently not. This band is by FAR the best band on the planet. Nothing else compares.
immense waves of chills, good ol' AB. everybody should BUY this album..no copying off mates or download shite. BUY IT!! and let the world know this is the kind of music people like/want.its not money..its a tiny shred of appreciation of what they deserve ABIII got to top ten in uk album chart i belive. lets make this number 1. thumbs up if you gunna buy!!
Just.. AWESOME!!! I love all of this song. The drums, the riff, the voice, the solo. They're BACK, and better than ever!!! This song will be in loop until the album came out. Thank you Alter Bridge for your music. \m/
I have a feeling this album is gonna shake up the rock world. In my mind, AB should be one of the most popular acts in rock, up there with A7X and Stone Sour. Fortress is gonna be EPIC!!! One more month baby!
I've been telling myself that " I should really start listening to Alter Bridge" but I always seemed to forget to but I'm glad that I did now. These guys are awesome!
This is real modern metal.
if you in America call it a metal...its a rock band :D
*****
No.
Isaiah Mendoza Yes
Gordana Bogic its progressive metal no they are not just a rock band they have post grunge and heavy metal and progressive metal songs bro

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Best Band living on Earth!!
Myles could sing the ABC's & still captivate an audience!
the most UNDERATED band ever in the century
That solo though!!
Just heard this song on the radio for the first time an hour ago... nearly blew out my speakers...
Describe this song in three words: Really fucking EPIC
I love Alter Bridge. This is one of the very rare bands that have produced an amazing album every time.You can't go wrong with any of their albums. So excited for this one!!!
I wouldn't mind some more newborns like this song!
THE BEST BAND OF OUR DAYS!!! THIS IS A REAL ROCK MUSIC!!!!
I totally agree with you my friend!
Thanks rocker!:)
:DD
Love Myles in Slash band, now love Myles much more again in Alter Bridge. Great to discover new good musics every day
My son let me at his music library 2 yrs ago. Hello, AlterBridge! Now I'm an internet DJ with a weekly rock show and I can assure you I'll be playing THIS!!
Have met these guys multiple times and not only are they the baddest ass rockers alive, but they are the nicest guys you'll ever meet!!!!
This song isn't much harder than Isolation, and that was their first no. 1 single on the Mainstream Rock Charts for seven weeks. This song is absolutely amazing and full of passion. Another victory for Alter Bridge.
It's Alter Bridge, the whole album will be this good.
I can't put into words what Alter Bridge songs mean to me and I'm not just talking about how perfect Myles vocals are combined with the guitar and drums, but specially because their songs always seem to find a way to fit in so perfectly with situations in my life. So realistic, so deep, so genuine, and yet so comforting and uplifting. It is without a doubt my favorite band of all time.
Holy Shit this album is going to be epic
I'm in love with this band. If I saw them and tool perform the same night, my life would be complete.
I saw em about 2 weeks apart. It was as amazing as you think it would be.
tool and alter bridge in the same night?! to much emotions! =)
I saw them with Slayer Anthrax Sabaton and Iron Maiden in 1 day
This Band is awesome.
From heavy metal to great ballads they bring everything and each album was better than the last.
Sounds powerful, consistent, heavy, melodic. Pure AB back on our brains!!!! AWESOME.
Scott Phillips is the best at what he does... This band is too damn talented
The chorus gives me goosebumps every time!!! really cool
I can't believe people saying the song is too heavy. IMO it`s almost a perfect balance between power and melody, the riff is "All I Was" album style, but the melodic touch is still there.
All I can say every time I listen to that intro is... YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Myles has said in interviews that he was the one that pushed for heavier songs. Myles writes as much as Mark.
So addicted to face
In time, you're gonna lose it all (8) ;/
I had high expectations for this. I wasn't disappointed.
Alter Bridge is genuinely one of the best musical acts in recent times.
Tremonti is a guitar god. His solo stuff was incredible.
Alter Bridge.. most underrated band ever.
This band consistently delivers.
Myles is an incredible Frontman/Guitarist!! Love this stuff!!!
Alter Bridge ROCKS!!!!!!
Mark Tremonti has always favored metalish guitar work. That's why when he did a solo album he went with what he liked. Same thing Alter Bridge is doing. They are working together to create music that THEY like. Respect them for it.
They're one of those bands where I would buy the album the day it comes out even if I hadn't heard a single second of it.
Can't help but think one thing: this album is going to be INSANE live!
I had lost my hopes for a comeback from Alter Bridge.
But today I'm filled with hopes of a future with Alter Bridge's music.
Not only a great comeback, the music is really awesome and it is way better than their last album and all others!
HEIL ALTER BRIDGE!

Another masterpiece from ab it looks like. Man I remember when ab first started and i was mad cause i wanted more creed. So happy there still going strong!
this is why theyre my favourite band, one of the only bands i know that decided to rock up rather than down, so good!
Myles sings awesome and Mark is just an Amazing guitarist !!! Love Alter Bridge !

Myles voice makes me melt. Alter Bridge ROCK each song blows my mind away. #FACT!
Alter Bridge truly are the worlds greatest band of their time, this just feels like the holy fucking grail!!!
I've listened to this song about 60 times now and each time I am still gobsmacked.
Amazing song. Absolutely amazing.
AB has some hard songs on previous albums, i am personally loving this single to death, i think is refreshing that the guitar and drums are more heavy but the melodies and singing remains the same. loving it!!
One of the greatest vocalist on earth
Alter bridge are so very lucky to have Myles on board
He make any song sound awesome heheheehe
If the rest of the record is anything like this song, I know I'm going to LOVE it!
0:37 haha that smile. This is great. I really love this song
Blown away by this new album. they keep getting better and this album is by far the best yet!!! never would expect something this good from anybody in Creed.
Am I the only one who's listening to this continuously for 8 houres?!?!
One of the BEST Alter Bridge songs for sure! \m/
because it fills the empty space. Trust me. No matter how strong your voice is, it's always a good idea to layer the tracks. Makes them stand out more in the mix.

I didn't even realize their album was so close to releasing. I click on this and get my mind blown.
I loved the Tremonti(and I mean LOOOOVED) solo album, but it's good to hear those riffs with Myles singing!!
it's called being versatile and trying different things his voice sounds great on this song as it does for the whole album
This is why alter bridge is my favorite band
I think this song rocks! It has a lot of the "Tremonti project" sound to it, And that album rocked! So, it, combined with Myles' extra guitar support and his lyrical genius, you just cant go wrong!
I've been listening to this over and over again... It's just so good!
This song is so bad ass !!!! Two things I've noticed I like...One it's heavy...Two...Best Hook in a AB song yet !!!!
what a song ! I love it when Mark goes heavyriffing
Btw, Myles keeps improving over and over ... he's becoming probably on the best rock singer nowadays.
Brilliant, ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! What a great surprise!
THANK YOU FOR EXISTING, ALTER BRIDGE!
Exactly. Wish more people could see it like you. Creed got him his money and he enjoyed it but Alter Bridge is just pure passion.
I don't think you could cry any more about such a small matter.
this is awesome. i hope, the whole album is going to sound like this
Alter Bridge is honestly my all time favorite group, I've been jamming to them since '04 and I'm finally gonna see them live in Orlando in October \m/
I can't get over how fucking incredible this sounds. I've had it on repeat since I heard it last night and I already know the lyrics. I don't think I've ever been so excited about an album. I thought they'd peaked with AB III, apparently not. This band is by FAR the best band on the planet. Nothing else compares.

The most band ever!
This is making me look forward to Fortress even more. It is just awesome.
It sounds epic! I think that this guys aren't humans! Long life to AB!
I have a feeling this album is gonna shake up the rock world. In my mind, AB should be one of the most popular acts in rock, up there with A7X and Stone Sour. Fortress is gonna be EPIC!!! One more month baby!
Just ... Awesome! Amazing Voice! Master Singer! Nice All Alter Bridge! Welcome To The Rock! This are the real rock!
yet another immense song from my favourite band of all time. cannot wait to see them live in nottingham.
Fantastic single, can't wait for their new album and to see them in London!
This song is the solution to a Monday without waking up
I've been telling myself that " I should really start listening to Alter Bridge" but I always seemed to forget to but I'm glad that I did now. These guys are awesome!
The song has a great energy, such as rock / metal. the song is not predictable. I was a little surprised, and it turns out I like
The Greatest band of all Time!!!!!!!!
Rush and Alterbridge....my two favorite bands. Thanks guys for your music...since you are in my heart, I take you with me wherever I go :)
Awesome band & top tune! Can't wait for the new album.
Myles is the SHIT!!!
One of my BIGGEST influences right now!
Best Hard rock band out there today.
Mark's voice is awesome
This band will surprise us always, powerful song!!
Exactly why I LOVE AB so much right there!
They've also always had heavy songs. Even in the Creed days. So chill. This is just one song, 11 more will follow. They will always be a melodic band.
Even more excited about the new album after hearing this track. It's killer!
This album is gonna be huge!!!, sounds amazing i liked this more than isolation
Absolutely love this song. Gets me super excited for the album!!!!
The Boys are BACK...finally! Can't wait for the release...and another LIVE SHOW!
This is the best song released this year!
It's good to hear rock actually rocking again!
Power, melodies, real, not shy, awesomeness!
Beautiful words! That's how I fell about AB too.
Give White Knuckles, Buried Alive, Slip to the Void, and some of the older songs a listen. Great music.
