Between watching this at Berklee shows in 2013 and the TT tour in 2017 the material of this album has been a good friend for almost a decade. Thanks for taking the time to make this happen. ❤️

[@sharchik916]

It all feels like it yesterday man

The acoustic with that breakdown 💙💙💙 this whole composition is amazing guys! Great job!!

James is so metal

[@aviationsband]

He has to make up for the rest of us lol

[@STR82DVD]

Ok, here's my problem guys; I'm totally spoiled now for any other band because you've become my yardstick for competency at any level which naturally leads me to really only listening to Aviations. I know, nature find any monoculture abhorrent, but here I am only listening to Aviations without I'll effect apparently. Thanks again everyone of you mind blowing musicians.

[@aviationsband]

Haha thanks so much man, we'll have some more music soon though so you're not stuck with our limited backlog

[@STR82DVD]

@@aviationsband It's all good. Everytime I listen I hear something new. It's amazing lad.

[@coldstaindtones]

Man, this song is just so incredible. Outliers too. Your sound has been so consistent over your discography as well. Truly impressive. Thank you for blessing us with your music! 🙏🏻

[@aviationsband]

Appreciate you ❤️ looking forward to the new stuff now 😬

[@Panda_SMM]

what a sick song.

[@BoogieMan568]

Best drummer in the world??? what a masterpiece what a band!!!! 🙂

[@danielpowers4787]

I came here for Sam's shirt, I stayed for the gnarly slam jams and sweet sweet tunes. Great song and great video, everyone!

[@sharchik916]

only reason I did this video was to wear it tbh

[@codyhart1905]

As an airline captain. This band is airworthy. Cheers

[@sharchik916]

That’s high praise

[@lunarfifthstudios]

What an uplifting compliment.

[@CodyCleggMusic]

So rhythmically fascinating. Everyone in this group is so dang talented. Love it!

[@darklordofkickingass]

Wow guys! I love this version. Specially I think the vocal work adds a lot to the song. Throughout the years I've been listening to this song on and off and it is definitely part of my college years, but this now had a little twist so it's refreshing. Keep it up!!

[@deansternberg2265]

Every few years or so I discover a new band that quickly becomes a favorite. Over the years, Fates Warning, Nevermore, then Evergrey, then Opeth, Anathema, Devin Townsend, Tesseract, Jinjer, The Ocean and now you guys. This is phenomenal. I found you through "Outliers," listened to the entire "The Light years" album last night and found this today. Just sick. Really looking forward to new stuff!

[@deansternberg2265]

Of course I'll be purchasing.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Wow. Just wow

[@MoonTea510]

I was listening to a band who reminded me of y’all and I came back!! I’m glad to see your growth!

[@STR82DVD]

You guys leave me speechless, mute and stunned. Just unbelievable if I hadn't just seen it and more importantly, heard it. The best of the best of the best. I expected nothing less, I received nothing less.

[@90sNostalgiaRewind]

Me: Can this song get any better? Aviations: Hold my beer 🍺

It is and I’m sorry. We’re in love

[@Galedan-C1029]

this is beautiful

[@JFlemmigan]

Wow, this version is incredible. The new additions sound great, especially the vocal duet at the end. It takes me back to hearing the original for the first time almost 8 years ago(!). I would love to hear Adam give some insight into the lyrics. They’re really thought provoking and epic, but 8 years later I have no idea what they’re really about.

[@aviationsband]

Well do another live stream this coming week to announce some more new stuff so maybe we can ask him then ;)

[@andrewholderfield7319]

Guys, Thank you. This is amazing. I so ready for a New album

[@SequenceBreaker64]

I like that you guys switched it up a bit instead of a better sounding copy of the original. Now I have good reason to keep both

[@aviationsband]

We learned a lot doing this, if you're gonna cover something, especially yourself, we better make sure it brings something new to the table :)

[@SequenceBreaker64]
