Billy Talent - Forgiveness I + II (Official Lyric Video)

[@cordellehauz2087]

Can honestly say after 14 years of listening to you boys, you have never released a shitty song or album! Love how every album progresses into new styles but still captures the "Billy Talent" sound. Ben, Ian, Jon, Aaron and Jordan, yall are some of the best/diverse & ever growing musicians I've ever listened to, keep it up! Yall make me very proud to be Canadian, long live Billy Talent!

[@thelisted3004]

One of the best songs they've ever written. Plus, Ian's stealthily taking the mick of the guitarists now. This song sounds hard enough to play, and it is HARDER STILL to nail. Just, awesome.. and that breakdown.. is now one of our favourite pieces of guitar / recordings ever. This band is our biggest influence - that will never change. Love ya BT!

[@redwing666]

[@saidoterodiseno]

I just dislike "red flag" a little because it was insanely overplayed back when it was released but Billy Talent is just AMAZING. Each album has something special and different but they always maintain their essence.

[@TBAYMenace]

@@saidoterodiseno Blame the radio haha! I agree tho

[@ThisIsntMeGaming]

Last two albums had quite a few misses for me

[@danc1513]

Love it. Still Billy Talent, but progressed, evolved.

[@chrisfish4351]

Best song they've written in my opinion. Cant wait to hear an album with this type of creativity on it

[@wildanimal9843]

That's what I like about Billy Talent. They evolve and change their style, but they still have that distinct Billy Talent sound. If any of their songs were on the radio you could be like "that's Billy Talent". Unlike too many other bands these days that started out rock/punk/alternative and have basically become pop bands. I get that bands want to evolve and try new things, but it's totally possible to do that while keeping that key sound that identifies them and that fans fell in love with in the first place. These guys are proof of that! Along with Green Day and Sum 41 also. I feel they've managed to maintain their sound and style for the most part while changing things up at times.

[@grabbin_]

[@designsbyisaac]

100 percent my favorite band. Going back to elementary, these guys haven't failed my musical tastes.

[@sexuallobster134679]

Right? I was in grade 4 or 5 when their second album came out and I've made sure to see them on every tour since. Their last album had me a bit worried because it wasn't their strongest but this blew me away. Like, 10 years ago I wouldn't believe you if you told me they'd start getting into prog rock

[@DariaGo]

For all those poor souls tired of being The Unforgiven I or II - here's Billy Talent granting us Forgiveness I + II. Thank you!

[@SoFarSoGoodSoWhat14]

This is unreal, where the hell did this come from? Might be the best song BT have ever done

[@dzaijn]

Probably the best rock song of this decade.

[@MyNealon]

Have listened to this song every night over and over for weeks now and it still takes me to another place. Well done to the boys!!

[@Malumbrus]

Dude that's what I wanna know. I dipped my toes into this album briefly and I was like "Meh, more BT." Then I decided to start it from the beginning a couple weeks ago and I heard this song and it blew my head off. I was taken off guard at how phenomenal it is. And then to hear the prog in the second part.. this song is a masterpiece. They should really do a concept/prog album like this.

[@tylerives5023]

Ian you are seriously the greatest Riff creator of all time

[@DylanThompson02]

I love that they are stepping away from the more mainstream song structure

[@grabbin_]

and that's exactly why I personally don't like it so much. You can't get the song stuck in your head. The simple but still powerful and expressive songs are also what made them succesful in the first place and for me it's sad to see them moving away from that more and more... other would call that 'evolving'. I call it 'changing'...

[@DylanThompson02]

C M yah I can see where you are coming from, and when I was a teenager I was definitely into that style of music but it’s kinda cool to have a band mature in their sound as you grow in your tastes. Personally I listen to stuff that a lot more prog now so it cool to hear them leaning in that direction and REALLY showing off their writing skills

[@Mariooo57]

Agreed and damn, about time. I loved mostly everything up until Dead Silence. Kingdom of Zod and especially Chasing The Sun, a welcome change of pace, were so promising but they followed them up with an album that was more of the same. I kind of grew tired of their formula and they had to change it up. This song is the best thing they've released in a long time and hopefully there will be more curveballs on the new release.

[@Clayaga]

I don't really think they ever followed that, BT has had one of the most unique sounds i've listened to for years. They generally were always set apart.

[@DylanThompson02]

Clayaga they were always set apart mostly because of Ben and Ian’s unique vocals, but as far as structure they have generally stuck to the same formula. Not saying that’s a bad thing in any sense. Just that they were much more...radio friendly.

Lyrics: Lost in the wind Without a direction Possessed by perfection In this land, if you're awake, you're the enemy I run away In search of redemption A path to ascension Like an elevator, rising to the sun I scream at the stars But nobody's listening Searching for the end But the journey's the reason for existence It's tearing at my heart The secrets in the distance Hard to find the truth in the dark When you're begging for forgiveness Scorched by the rays My quest is relentless My spirit is desperate To find comfort in the arms of her remedy Chasing a face That has no reflection The lights of salvation Disappear into the shadows of the sand I scream at the stars But nobody's listening Searching for the end But the journey's the reason for existence It's tearing at my heart The secrets in the distance Hard to find the truth in the dark When you're begging for forgiveness I'm begging for forgiveness! Yeah! Hey! Chase my shadow to the sun! Chase my shadow to the sun! I scream at the stars But nobody's listening Searching for the end But the journey's the reason for existence It's tearing at my heart The secrets in the distance Hard to find the truth in the dark When you're begging for forgiveness I'm begging for forgiveness! Somewhere else the earth turns round Softly in the sky so sound Wallowing away Wallowing away Comfort in the grace I've found Circling a distant star Constellation drifts apart Falling into phase Falling into phase Far beyond the shapeless heart Somewhere else the earth turns round Softly in the sky so sound Wallowing away Wallowing away Comfort in the grace I've found

[@PianoGirl091]

I don't know why, but in the final chorus of part one, where Ben says "it's tearing at my heart," it literally makes my heart feel like it's breaking a little in sadness. Maybe it's because that time he says it louder and with more emotion? I also think some of the notes are sharp (or flat? I don't have that great of an ear for music) that time around, and it just sounds different enough that it really strikes an emotional chord for me. I don't know. It's a strange emotion that I clearly felt the need to share. I love this song so freaking much, though. In my opinion, Billy Talent has never written a bad song. Now I really wish they'd release a new album. I need more of their music in my life.
