[@andrewbaillargeon1459]

I was not expecting that Surf Rock breakdown in the middle. These guys have really stepped up there game.

+Fangbanger yeah,but it's quite nice.JB can really throw in that good variety.

[@matiasmorales4229]

this has to be by far my most favorite solo and breakdown ive heard so far

[@drazenstan]

Don't know why that intro to solo and solo itself sounds familiar, but it does.. Is that like beach boys vibe or something? Very cool anyway

[@KrisMIW91]

5 years later. Abr. The type of metal core band that will make a grown man cry

[@StonedCrackerofHell]

Who directed this? A Day To Remember?

[@Highwoltag3]

StonedCrackerofHell probably

[@ZaksthaChannel]

StonedCrackerofHell Its Dan Mumford's artwork style. Pretty rad stuff but I see where you are coming from.

[@camdaman122]

Just what i was thinking 😂😂

[@StonedCrackerofHell]

Zaks Arts Never heard of the guy. Just googled him. Damn. Pretty talented guy.

[@manuelzechner6376]

StonedCrackerofHell The director did almost every ADTR video...so, yeah, there you got your answer ;)

[@barbossa9000]

Fun fact: this is actually leaked footage from the new aquaman movie.

[@bigguy4389]

But it hasn't been batmanised :3

[@xthe_nojx5820]

[@andrewmcclure2905]

2019 Can confirm

[@jaggedvisions]

Andrew McClure the funny thing is the movie just came out in 2018 lol

[@chrisr9942]

Honestly can't describe how much this song means to me... You guys are simply amazing idk how else to put it

[@Metalheadaches]

Grammy Nominated!!! Congratulations guys!!!

[@Snake-filledChimp]

When the surf breakdown starts... huge grin on my face. It's incredibly cool and I just about can't believe they made it kick ass like that.

[@Dmonsterparedes0625]

it must have been super hard for Dustin to do that merman scene cause we all know how much he hates taking off his shirt

[@fearlessrecords]

Raul Paredes HAH!

[@TheGKMinecraft]

Jason LovesPWD He should be

[@GetScaredGaming]

haha this music video was so fucking weird but the song itself is sooo good. Might be my favorite song of 2015 so far, either this or Omega by Periphery

[@AnthonyGhazel]

Raul Paredes lmao

[@yzermanrides2541]

+Praetorian Foil ever listened to tesseract ?!?

[@KevinCorkran]

I see Matt is rocking the new Shell Series from Zildjian... awesome video!!

[@abrahamnaula]

[@justingoforth1102]

Can't forget his oil drums

[@tinaho2347]

I want to see this without the animation. Just a bunch of dudes flailing around a greenscreen

[@delriodheryck687]

The part where they are sirens especially

[@lightningstruck6973]

AHA that i want to see

[@painpaixliberte]

This most be one of the best ABR songs till know, speaks to me so much

[@gera9576]

you get it right

[@AF-ud5nn]

fun video and ties well with the lyrics. The lies were buried so deep that he was drowning in them. He tries his best to fight his way to the surface, but he realizes freedom only comes when you start believing the truth about who you really are and not the lies. You are not a loser, or a failure. You are a child of God and He loves you no matter what you do, and in His eyes you are perfect.

[@joemiller252]

fuck off

[@purplewizard6276]

Thanks for that. Im healed.

[@anunamiss5309]

Did you just say that we're perfect in God's eyes? No. We're totally depraved, and the only way we can gain any sort of righteousness is through Christ, which involves repenting and turning from your sin. (Such as homosexuality, murder, etc.)

[@ccrr96]

AF2888 Even though I'm not religious, I like the way you interpreted it and related it to religion :)

[@GEES44DC]

Which is why I hate this song because nowhere in this song does it talk about repenting from sexual sin.

[@Kalebmyg]

Matt,is the most chilled drummer,makes it look so easy. Unreal, easily top 5 best drummers of today.

[@MunibAhmad1996]

As someone who's never really been into ABR, this might be the song which get me into them...

[@Non99im]

there are better songs of them. actually, i don't really like this song but is not bad

[@aaronleahy2868]

Agreed

[@ronnietraywick6390]

Go back and listen to Thrill Seeker and you will be in love with ABR

[@Victor-rn1zn]

Ronnie Traywick Jason LovesPWD I would have to disagree with both of you, for me the best album was this and leveler!

[@ronnietraywick6390]

+Jason LovesPWD same here. Only band I love more is Thrice.

[@jared54098]

I feel like this album they souly wrote and made just to be fun and pleasant to hear every single song is met with such rich clean tones fallowed by crushing riffs

[@ohiobassangler8781]

my favorite band of all time. I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for these guys. their music has given me hope and strength to move on.

[@josephmorris6225]

Awesome drum fill at the beginning (and all throughout the song) love Matt Greiner!

[@floweredinfebruary]

I've just recently gotten into ABR. I saw them at Warped and I was blown away, so I've been listening to all their albums. After seeing this music video and seeing the guys as mermaids (mermen?) I realize I have made a wise choice.

[@fabdav333]

you did make a great choice in fact.

[@KSchawacker]

Cassie Famoso Wow you're like like 5 years late to this band's prime. Go listen to Constellations or anything before that. They're not bad now, but the albums with the most artistic energy (in my opinion) were there older works.

[@KafkameetsPlath]

Good choice, I've been listening to them for years and they never disappoint 😊

[@byknutz]

+Cassie Famoso ooooooh yeah, Saw them with Mikes Chair and Silverstien at the Hawthorne Theater in Portland a few yrs ago. Getting ready for For Today`s tour!

[@darianagarza8633]

+Cassie Famoso They're perfect right?

[@madridda]

This video is awesome. I really like the art and when the barrels were falling you can see Matt laughing while playing the drums. 😊

[@sukasage7409]

these guys are starting to become a favorite of mine. it started with a copy I was given of Rescue and Restore and I immediately became a fan of their music. Keep being awesome.

[@davidmarsh4437]

Hell yeah, Rescue and Restore is easily their best album, imo, and was such a huge step up from their previous stuff.

[@AlonDrums]

"Stop living in the nile"

[@fearlessrecords]

+Shplupen | Metalcore Guitar Covers we hear that too!

[@tystorm23]

+Shplupen | Metalcore Guitar Covers Pretty solid advice if you think about it.

[@mrnickname4279]

MAN! these guys are so underrated, It's crappy metal thats been worshiped right now

[@aaronaltkid]

+Mr Nickname true

[@paul_landero8166]

+Mr Nickname crappy metal like Ghost

[@TheMightyDingus]

+ShikariBaller "crappy metal like ghost" classic 'only into modern metal' mindset. Just because it's faster and louder does NOT mean it's better

[@Odie50000]

+ShikariBaller I like ghost...

[@Trippze]

how the fuck are they underrated?

[@someguyguitar8601]

ABR is truly the best. A huge influence for me when writing music.

[@kushalamhr4516]

I'm more into power metal but august burns red is a really good band I really enjoy the fact that they are very melodic

[@hnjahnjah]

As I Lay Dying have become more melodic lately too... Incorporating backing vocals too which I must say are pretty good. But I fully agree with you x)

[@MrSeeduckswim]

1:51 immediately made me think of Cruisin USA. Sounds like a mix between Bluegrass Boogie, Tubular Surf, and Surfari Monster. Might be just me, but I can hear it, and I love it.

[@Highland_1992]

5 years later, and I'm still upset that this didn't win a Grammy.

[@Ghossssss]

That solo from 1:46 amazing!!!

[@emerymaylene]

The Rockabilly breakaway at 1:44 is just beautiful!

[@TheLazyPeon]

I fucking love this song and music video D:

[@EvilPuffyNips]

It's awesome how these guys can have such a light hearted video (which I found to be hilarious) and yet maintain a heavy sound.

[@kp41221]

The audio conveys the message of Identity, video conveys the message of The Wake.

[@dasayevexavier5450]

This guitar solo always put a smile into my face.

[@joser3613]

I was expecting Sponge Bob and Patrick headbanging along with half of Bikini Bottom in the video :( Jk Love that Surf-Metalcore part at 1:50

[@lewisantell9404]

I thought of spongebob at that bit lol idk why

[@brookecerulli8855]

this song is fucking great live. seen them in Saskatoon on March 30th. best real sounding band ive ever listened to. long live August Burns Red!!❤️☮

[@thiagocokedesouza1630]

Excelente! Vocês são mas das maiores influências no mundo, a levada do SurfMusic ficou ótimo! ahahahah. Ansioso por mas um show no Brasil!

[@anastasiadate]

There's some righteous shredding in this song.

[@leora2792]

WARNING! Anyone on acid will die when the solo comes in.

[@brandonrichards7050]

I die without acid. Can only imagine with.

[@cianmurray6333]

This band has outgrown what I could've imagined. I first listened to them in 2011 and thought they were ok. Now, with this track and album, they've turned into something new and amazing. JB Brubaker has turned into one of the greats of this age. ABR WILL LIVE LONG. BEST OF MODERN METAL. (alongside Gojira)

[@VincentGilmore]

Right Back At It Again: Little Mermaid Edition

[@KSchawacker]

Vincent Gilmore ...I know it was directed by the guy who primarily does the ADTR videos, but making puns about a different band's song is cheating. LEARN THE RULES!! hahaha

[@ENZO76133]

i havent listened to you guys in a while since i found myself in more of a Prog and Jazz Metal area but i always thought you were the most unique band of this genre, i really dig your stuff. thats all have a nice day guys

[@TrilogyBPM]

Still lyrically one of the best songs ever written. Acceptance is the ultimate peace.

[@FoxtrotBard420]

It's really refreshing when bands make videos that aren't so serious. Sometimes it's good to play in front of a green screen and try with all your might not to laugh while interacting with nothing.

[@NewNoviceKid]

One Of The Best Metalcore Bands Out There! (y)

[@alextownley9388]

I have some vague memory of two guys from the 90s singing with an animated jungle background and I have no clue what it’s from and this music video reminds me of that so much.

[@x8xLIONBLAZEx8x]

Is this a joke? I'm laughing. XD THE PART WHERE HE'S SWIMMING XD

[@ivankostadinov5924]

Do you know how it feels to hide with thoughts repressed deep down inside? I guess you just loved the lie Truth is, you can't decide where my heart resides You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand And cast aside from the man that I am I've never felt so free It kills me to hear you say you choose to love me I was hoping that would be a given, given our history I've never felt so free, so free You think I'm wrong, you think I'm wrong But I never felt better Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie I thought blood was thicker than water You think I'm wrong but I never felt better Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie I thought blood was thicker than water You think I'm wrong but I never felt better I know I disappointed you But I've got nothing to prove You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand But now I've realized this is who I am I've made my decision, you're either with or against me You're either with or against me You're either with or against me Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie I thought blood was thicker than water You think I'm wrong but I never felt better Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie I'm standing firm, it's who I am You can't keep me, you can't keep me down Iʼm moving on I'm living free You canʼt stop me, you canʼt stop me now I'm standing firm, it's who I am You can't keep me, you can't keep me down Iʼm moving on I'm living free You canʼt stop me, you canʼt stop me now.

As if Cirice won a Grammy instead of THIS. I mean, nothing against Ghost but THIS SONG IS SO MUCH BETTER!! If any "Ghost" had to win it should've been ABR's song...
