[@michaelg5228]

Absolutely loved listening to Tarrot in its entirety, and Guardian has got to be my personal favorite from you guys. Absolutely love it, hope to hear it off at Seattle

[@goodvibes4891]

I haven't gone to live anything, but I very well may have to go to one of your guys' shows.

[@cyphern]

Gah! sold out in denver! ruined my day. But then i listened to Guardian, by Aether realm and everything was alright.

[@matthewmayhem9213]

I asked Aether Realm in the live-chat what song they'd suggest I should listen to after having to put my doggy to sleep yesterday (04/30/2020), and they named this song. I want to thank them, it's an awesome song and it is indeed helping! Much respect!

[@CrimzonChaos]

I didn't cry by years but thanks to you and aether realm i remember my doggy friend too. Great song!

[@MrEgofreak]

It's always a sad day when you lose your furry friend. Mine got put down 05.13.2018.

[@friendlyperson8016]

Hey king. I hope you're doing great.

[@matthewmayhem9213]

Here's an update. After so many deaths in my family, my depression and anxiety have reached levels I've never had before, and life is constantly kicking me down with all the physical ailments I've acquired since then. All I do is lose and I don't see any winning for me in the future. But, I'll remain strong, because that's what and who I am. I hope everyone else feels the same and continues on in these harsh times.

[@MrEgofreak]

@@matthewmayhem9213 I'd recommend switching to Cycle by Aether Realm since it describes what you're feeling now. My heart goes out to you man. People with severe depression must be having a hell of time coping during this pandemic. All I can say is reach out to the ones that are still with for support. God bless!

[@YouthRevolutiongroup]

Saw a lot of people on FB complaining about how soft this song was. Not sure why, it's amazing! Still has heavy guitar and I love the emotion. Can't wait for the new album

[@Numinon]

In all my years this is the first time where I genuinely felt like I needed to hear a song, precisely because of how affectionate it is. You can find hard and badass frgn everywhere in metal. To cut the shit and put real emotional delicacy into a song, that's so rare and so precious.

[@5Demona5]

I love this album. This song and The Sun, The Moon and The Stars always make me cry

[@Sir.SpeedWagon]

Because there are lots of metal fans who think if we dont sacrifice at least two goats to a song than its not metal. Dont get me wrong i love the hard stuff but sometimes songs like this can really cure your soul.

[@bobcraft8913]

When the road is long And the night has come I will stay with you We will see this through When your flame burns low That's a place I know Place your hand in mine We all need some help sometimes I will be your guardian from loneliness Feel my love surround you Share your burden, I will carry it A refuge all around you When sorrow overtakes you You can call on me Lay your troubles on me friend I'll be with you 'til the end I'll be your... Guardian When your burden starts Weighing on your heart You are not alone And you're stronger than you know I will be your guardian from loneliness Feel my love surround you Share your burden, I will carry it A refuge all around you When sorrow overtakes you You can call on me Lay your troubles on me friend I'll be with you 'til the end I'll be your guardian When the road is long And the night has come I will be your guardian from loneliness Feel my love surround you Share your burden, I will carry it A refuge all around you When sorrow overtakes you You can call on me Lay your troubles on me friend I'll be with you 'til the end I'll be your guardian Truly a lyrical and musical masterpiece

[@ashoggoth2419]

thank you

[@commandermcnash5137]

We all know this song IS GOING TO be played in the congregations of many religions and even a few secular movements, I haven't seen a song catch so good the ideas of providence and welfare. And yes, also pets, friends and family.

Listened to this when my cat died, she got pretty old, she was even older than me. She was with me to her end, my guardian from loneliness

[@Kleng121]

RIP to your precious friend. I am so sorry you had to go through something like this. All my love and wishes go out to you.

[@mauriciogutierrezjr.3822]

I am so sorry. I know exactly how this feels. My boy was 14 years old and died last week on Tuesday. I already knew it was coming but it didn't make it any easier and from the moment I knew he was sick and saw how he was looking, this is the song that popped into my head. I sent him off and said my goodbyes to him with this song and made a little collage video with this song as well from the 1st few baby pictures when he was 2 months old up until the very last time I saw him alive. My condolences. I'm sure you miss your baby very much as I do mine.💜🖤💜

[@MrEgofreak]

A few days ago, I accidentally remembered an old friend of mine and decided to find his page, to find out if he's alright, although we don't talk anymore. And I found this song on his page. We had a deep, meaningful friendship. I hope, there is someone to be his guardian now. Thanks for such a soulful music

[@MajorBruno]

Really enjoying the blend of harsh and clean vocals on the new tracks. Stoked to hear the rest!

[@stompic1]

I've been struggling with depression and anxiety for a while now. Yesterday, just as I thought things were finally getting better, I attempted to repair the blinds. Not only did I not find the cause of the problem, I managed to make the situation worse than it already was. So depression hit like a storm. Again. My fiancee told me to listen to this song. I'm on the tram rn. Crying. Thank you, my love. You're the absolute best!

[@dr.strangelove9815]

May you find solace in your tough times. Life is a very tough journey, many people are alone without anyone and it's pretty cool your fiancée directed you to this song, you have a great guardian it seems!

This song was born from the soul and with a lot of feeling!! 🤘

[@commandermcnash5137]

Right, also, true art is born from the soul, but the best art speaks to the soul, it requires no interpretation or context, this is one of those precious few. And yes, I am plagiarizing from Guy Haley's Devastation of Baal, how ironic the age we live in, eh? We find the best emotional support in music done by a metal band and great reflection on what art means to us in military science fantasy.

[@brooke6138]

Poignant timing. My boyfriend of three years and I decided to break up two days ago so I don't think I've needed this song more than I do right now. Thank you, bois. This is gonna be doing some emotional heavy duty in the coming weeks 💜

My love sent it to me right after one of my worst attacks. I have had depression issues for 4 years, but so far I can't even take drugs or go to psychiatry because of my family. But that's okay, I know we all have problems and this comment is not going to be an occasion for sympathy. All I want to say that we all have our guardians. Even if we didn't notice it. I didn't notice it until he saved me. I know it's prosaic and pathetic, but hey you, life is irrelevant and that's amazing. Because this path you will walk will be unique and amazing. stay alive frens ~c.

Hey guys, it's Cherry! I had left a comment on KZbin music on an account that I'm using for free yt music but can't find that on actual KZbin so I'll just comment on this account. You were amazing! It was a marvelous first show! Jake, you were just such a teddy bear and I loved getting to interact with you. You were so sweet and kind, and you just ooze positivity. You probably won't see this, but if you do, know you have a lifelong fan. Y'know, apparently my dad's friend's boyfriend is actually really good friends with you guys, or at least Jake. 7 degrees of separation I guess! Small world these days.
