August Burns Red "Beauty In Tragedy"

[@dawnjones5266]

My son Mike Jones just passed away this week from a 6 year battle with brain cancer. He loved ABR. Thank you to Matt Greiner for the love and support he has given us. Eternally grateful.

[@jesse-johnwitkowski9726]

Metal isn't supposed to make me cry!!! God bless you, ABR.

[@steventaylorgroom]

Jesse-John Witkowski never listened to melodic doom metal then XD but seriously though if you want feels look up swallow the sun the emerald forest and the blackbird (its about a father comforting his dying son and speaking about how he has wonderous things waiting in the afterlife and to not be afraid)

[@kodyheskett7964]

This sound got me through my brothers death. Still brings tears to my eyes 12 years later.

[@benjaminjarreau8385]

Holy spirit dude.

[@schrotestthehero]

To those saying this song is about God: From an interview with Jake "Jake Luhrs: That lyric I wrote basically because I was thinking about losing someone close to you. In all reality, I was sitting in a cabin where I was for a week to get away and write, and it popped in my mind about Vigil (Jonathan) from The Ghost Inside; he recently lost his father, and I've toured with him in the past and I really like that guy, I think he really has a good heart and I love him...and when I heard that, it really did break my heart. But when I was writing about the loss of someone, I thought of him and I thought of Dustin our bassist, how he had lost his uncle and I believe he has lost his aunt too. The premise of the song is basically to take what you know about a person you love, and to carry them on in your life, and to use what they've taught you and to take their wisdom and knowledge and to share it with everyone else; carrying that person's name within you as you'd carry someone's legacy. So the one line "I'll write your name in the sand, where the waves can't wash it away" is essentially saying "I'll make an imprint for you in this world that's dedicated to you through what you taught me, and that won't ever go - that's permanent, that's forever". That's what that line meant to me."

[@elijahcastillo6]

wow. Amazing.

[@getscared_x3]

I always hear this song when i think about my grandma.. Will never forget her. It's my Song for her ❤️

[@bit_ov_mem]

how does anyone think this is about god

[@uraniumjoe]

@@bit_ov_mem probably Jesus' crucifixion, coupled with ABR's Christian background.

[@mayuri206]

yeah and god created people. with out god no people to make those themes. pretty stupid logic bro.

[@NativeLuis]

Just came back from my 7th ABR show and they played this song. I screamed at the top of my lungs these lyrics in the back of the room not worrying about what others thought of me. And at the end of the song Jake said "this one goes out to those who have lost a loved one" I then burst into tears. RIP Nana & Tata Tapia.

[@christhompson7485]

My mom was diagnosed with cancer a couple of weeks ago and I just kinda remembered about this song. I haven't really listened to ABR in a few years as my musical tastes have largely shifted away from heavy music, but coming at this song with fresh ears and a different perspective in life and this song really packs a punch now. It may be a long road to recovery but I'm still trying to come to grips with. I know Jake and the guys won't read the comment, but thanks anyway for the song and the catharsis.

[@WeAreObject]

I'm an atheist but these guys are so good and spread really positive vibes

[@samuelnewman1404]

that is one thing that angers me as an atheist people assume I dont like postive messages.. no I love them I support them I'm just not a believer

[@christopherepperson3583]

We all crave eternity, the unfortunate fact as to why that is is because of the reality of sin or death. Realtionships end with those 2 or in your case 1. So thanks for liking the song at least, you can think of it as a love song between a very effectionate couple.

[@christopherepperson3583]

+Christopher Epperson *affectionate.

[@WeAreObject]

Christopher Epperson I have a different meaning of this song, been listening sine they day they released it. ABR is one of favorite bands, but I don't crave eternity, I only crave success.

[@christopherepperson3583]

Taiga What success is there in a grave? If not for yourself how will the people be successful from your death, not meaning their against you but rather would they react negatively from your death? I would think that the news would have told you by now that people matter more than money. But I understand if you didn't get the memo, the media isn't exactly coherent.

[@shaneorriss8898]

My brother in law is days away from passing of cancer. I loved him as a brother despite our bloodlines. The words in this song, coupled with the anger, rage, sadness, and hope of the music, perfectly encapsulate the experience of losing someone. The ability of ABR to construct a masterpiece of expression, projecting a shared understanding of the experience, and vision of love and hope is truly a gift from God. I'm truly thankful for this band.

[@clekkas7]

This song recently saved my life. I know I'm not alone on this one.

[@hydratedspace262]

May be several years since you posted that comment, but I hope you are doing well and found peace of mind in your life. God bless, stay healthy and safe for as long as you may live.

[@zacharymorton5880]

This is probably the most brutally-tragically-beautifully-emotionally written song I've ever heard. Beautiful.

[@AnAimlessAvocado]

I still find myself coming back to this album repreatedly after all this time. A masterpiece.

[@gavinsahabandu552]

Lost my mother to cancer in June 2015 This song is dedicated to her Read lyrics out at the end of her service.... It's as it was written for her..... \m/

[@manuelsales1660]

I don't know what lose a mother feels like, but I think that is the worst experience in the world. I feel sorry for you, but "never surrender the dream she had for this world, to love, to forgive, to make something out of nothing"

[@gavinsahabandu552]

Thank you Manuel Josue Sales​ for those kind words They will be my guiding light from now on.....

Our courage our cancer. by while she sleeps. I feel you bro.

[@pandaboipetsandmask392]

Sorry for you lost :(

[@gregaver5144]

Thank you August Burns Red for writing this song. My girlfriend left this year to go to school in Florida, I live in Canada. Point is I showed her this song before we left because of the lines "I can't hear your voice, but thats okay cause I can feel you in my heart." I always had this thing with her that we said our hearts would be able to feel eachother even if we weren't physically around for eachother. Just know August Burns Red you guys are the reason I'll be with her forever.

[@kevincarrier7232]

There is beauty in tragedy The heart won't stop beating, For the end is a new beginning Where sorrow pulls the skyline of reality And restarts a love ever after As we grasp beyond defeat So keep us breathing a little longer a little longer For just one moment with one another with one another This night is falling on my hearts shame These feelings bring tears to my eyes Just take away my world, Leave my side Hear the angels sing, As I embrace you with a warm welcome home With a warm welcome home Hear the angels sing Hear the angels sing Tomorrow, the air will be a little colder But I'll be sure to breathe for the both of us. And the nights May be a little darker But I'll be sure to carry the torch to warm the hearts They're never gonna have to feel yours I can hear your voice, I can't hear your voice But that's okay 'Cause I can feel you in my heart

[@angelofwar9223]

Wrong.. that never got to feel yours

[@Megatronic32]

If you can't see the mastery of music in this album and meaning behind it, then that's your opinion. This music is definitely a master piece. I can feel music. I've never listened to music that has let me feel emotion like this. This band is definitely a band to remember and love.

[@sonofbeast87]

I think the last 4 tracks on this album are all stellar. Thank God, I needed that. Thanks ABR for such an inspiring and emotional record.

[@msheintoch31]

[@christophercollier4999]

Same here, I get chills when I hear this. It's so beautifully simple and speaks complete truth.

[@superhero-onstandby]

I have an abr tattoo that goes from my wrist to my shoulder. The big burning U. It’s in the name of my mother. I’m not the religious type, she is, but she was my creator and the one that taught me all that was good and how to be kind and just... so much. I always thought this song would be the one that would carry be when she passed and how “I will carry the torch-“ because she did warm a lot of hearts and care for SO many. She was so selfless and full of love. She passed just a year ago on 4/3/21 just before OUR birthday we share on 11/3. It was after a long battle of cancer and other struggles. This song has now come into full effect (then). I hate it but.. I thank you guys for carrying me through so much and now this. You’re all absolute fucken beauties.

My father loved ABR, and this was a song we listened to often. he recently passed from a car accident and once I logged into his KZbin, i noticed this was the song that was playing as everything happened. If often comes into my playlist and reminds me of him. This song is truly beautiful.

Theology aside, Jake Luhrs is maybe the best lyricists of all time. Couple that with JB's riffery... and Matt's drumming.. It does not get better.

Theology aside....? God is the Author of all the lyrics of His children.

[@tMatt5M]

What I meant was even if you disagree with the theology, his lyricism is still some of the best ever.

[@StonedCrackerofHell]

justin croft Then I wonder what does he think about his 'children' in the rap industry or death metal industry.

[@labermichnichtzu8003]

StonedCrackerofHell Wait, what's wrong with death metal?

[@austinthemarketer]

i'm an atheist, and generally don't like christian music or bands, but this song, this band, who knew such a metal song could bring such inner peace?

[@ryanfisher1394]

super good band but God is greater and can bring you peace that surpasses all understanding if you call on His Great Name

[@austinthemarketer]

i do believe in god actually, but not in the way most people would think. im about self acceptance before universal acceptance. that humans have a personal god who is the seat of the soul and the cycle of our lives. aithiest might not be the best word to describe my beliefs

[@Bojangus-]

***** Agnostic, my friend. And I believe that a belief in something more tends to bring out the best in people. believing in something other than yourself causes selflessness which breeds charity. Whatever you choose to believe, what matters most is living the right way.

[@austinthemarketer]

Tanner Harrison i am the religion of me and not who others think i should be, that is the definition of being mentally free -a quote by he.

[@pierre-lucleblanc4453]

***** You should consider Buddhism. Its general beliefs and morals compare to yours. I don't follow it to the letter, as it is a very complex religion to follow and meditation can be somewhat wearisome if you are cynical about it, but like every religion, it takes a mind open to integration.

[@BlueGrandPrix05]

when the "hear the angels" part comes in with that screaming guitar note, it puts me in tears every time. dang this is a good song.

[@Ryan-qb5wd]

It's currently midnight, I have work at 7am but I'm fully content with staying up and jamming some ABR! I'm gonna listen to Constellations and Guardians after I'm done listening to this 10/10 masterpiece of an album.

[@101fmp]

Never really liked these guys before, but I can't stop listening to them now! Rescue & Restore is the only album I legitimately love every song on. This album is the only one that can put me in a good mood and lift my spirits every time I hear it, they truly wrote a masterpiece. Favorite album, favorite band.

[@bottomfeeder2060]

It's a tragedy that 45 people👎 this awsome song, those people don't know a great song and band when they hear one, what a shame.

[@LlNEMANZ]

Thank you for actually getting the lyrics right. I get so annoyed when I go to lyrics websites and the lyrics read "but I'll be sure to carry the torch to warm the hearts, they're never gonna have to feel yours" That line has such a huge impact, and when all the lyrics sites misrepresent it I get genuinely upset. Also for some reason every lyrics site has "I''ll be sure to write your name in the sun" So again I just want to thank you for getting them right.

[@Gaelheretic4]

"I can't hear your voice, but that's okay, because I can feel you in my heart." That's one way of looking at it but we all know what some people would say, "that this is a monologue, not a dialogue. They may be right, "maybe." But where they are wrong is the fact that it isn't my voice they are hearing but God's voice. I am not dreaming, God is the dreamer and we are His dream."- CS Lewis Responsibility comes unto us friends.

[@bradydulling399]

When I bought this album Tuesday, I spent the afternoon driving around listening to it. After headbanging furiously and screaming lyrics to the songs I already heard, this one came on and I just froze. I pulled over and began to cry, especially from 1:41 on. Death of loved ones is the biggest fear in life for a majority of us, myself included. But after the shock, the heartbreak, the denial and the sorrow, we will carry on. Such a powerful song and one of my favorites on this album.

[@iquerockrjose]

This song definely touched my heart.

[@OGirst]

this is the highlight of the album for me.. absolutely astounding!!!!

[@IrishFists]

I love the contrast in this song, certainty, doubt, and then it ends in hope

[@leonardoh94]

my favorite song from ABR

[@hydratedspace262]

I'm not quite sure where people have gotten the idea the song represents, God. I don't wanna disgrace, or argue with belief and or other's opinions. The song in my understanding feels more about the tragic loss of a loved, or special one in your life. Despite the pain, and suffering it can cause, or bring along to the ones around. The moment of weakness can open your eyes to the beauty of what can come from it. I don't feel as if you should ignore a devastated moment in your life, though it's not wrong to move past it, and not let it bring you down.

[@idonebedieselboy]

For real. Pangaea could definitely be my favorite ABR song. The time signature changes throughout that song are so flawless. They take that riff about a minute in that starts in 5/4, and subtly change it to make it 3/4, even though without really analyzing it, it sounds like the same riff...completely brilliant. Amazing song all the way through. Rationalist is another pretty good one.
