Crown the Empire - Second Thoughts

[@ZGODttv]

I don't know what it is about this band, but they're fucking rocking my eardrums.

[@annietelracs5053]

Haha right

[@stephanielynn6459]

same here.

[@isaiahwootton6086]

Dave sings the whole second verse and my god his voice is beautiful

[@catherinewinters8875]

Listening to all their songs just makes me want to cry for some reason...

[@tobiokageyama9917]

Who else thinks this song should have a video?

[@moonrose76]

me

[@maytedarkestdark1843]

+Goth Claudia ME!!!

[@joshuaramos5942]

yes

[@alliereinhardt7078]

+Goth Claudia It could start off with a static screen and then black out into someone getting an injection. Then from there follow CTE as they drop their instruments that are on fire and strive to reach a light at the end of a long journey, but then the light burns out.

[@goththique]

Me cx

[@mrnickname4279]

Thing about these guys is their lyrics just kind of connects to the heart and soul. It's amazing

[@nicolebrooke5198]

Second best album to be released after Sempiternal.... It all just.. Works. Well done, Crown the Empire. The past 4 years of following you's have paid of

[@cchristianjeremy]

So hard to choose a fave song off this album gahd man

[@charlesmcboss3628]

blunder buss its so hard to find a favorite from this whole band

[@cchristianjeremy]

Agreed but i personally think this, phoenix reborn, the one you feed and johnny ringo are my favorites haha!

[@charlesmcboss3628]

lol i dont have a favorite :p

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

1. Memories of a Broken Heart 2. Voices 3. Initiation 4. The Fallout 5. Bloodline 6. Zero 7. Rise of the Runaways 8. Makeshift Chemistry 9. Second Thoughts 10. Johnny's Revenge

[@stephanielynn6459]

it really is.

[@rexgd777]

That is the ONLY band that got better in these days... Congratulation guys, that's a great album

[@johnp4355]

I prevail

[@MarcelDarienzo]

Honestly I think this album is amazing. Why do people hate like they're not gonna keep the same sound of music their whole career. That's when people just complain they've gotten old and stop listening if you ask me but Crown The Empire definitely grew together as a band and this album puts them up top for me tbh with all their guitar solos and each chorus is amazing all the lyrics are very deep. I love Crown The Empire so I'll always be a fan & if they go under oh well I'll just listen to all their good songs still so stop hating. They're a good band hands down very damn strong one if you ask me.

[@scarecrow7012]

+Marcel Darienzo people hating because they are wasting they're potential at being even better than they were, like the fallout was the perfect album from them

[@muhammadrifki7877]

most underrated song in this album

[@coughlosercough9007]

this whole album is so f****** perfect

[@reagandent3601]

That says fucki I think you might've miscounted.

[@coughlosercough9007]

Reagan Dent it's some thing that google chrome does. it's really annoying. or I probably did miscount.

[@kathiedillon8472]

the second verse and bridge are nut worthy, i miss dave so much.

[@rosalindatheorange8522]

oh gosh Andy's voice is so breathtaking.

[@troublingArsonist]

“I’ve had my dreams slip through the grass” I can’t unhear it now

[@AniAssassin]

This album is absolutely perfect.

[@BigTendy]

this fucking album omg YES!!!

[@TobascoVelasco]

Their songs that are like this and memories of a broken heart are really good. They have a couple great harder sings but their slower ones are pretty dope.

[@xxghostxx7]

Who cares if they changed their sound, if you like it enjoy it, and shut up about if it's different or whatever.

[@isaiahwootton6086]

They didn't even change their sound they just decided to make more songs like memories of a broken heart on here their first album it was more heavy this album it's evenly split and I love it

[@scarecrow7012]

+Isaiah Wootton at least memories of a broken heart was heavy, and some people are complaining because this is the shit that rise does to bands

[@misukiylambertson2764]

You mean the Rise musicians grow up and wanna experiment with new sounds as musicians? Lmao get outta here

[@LondonAlarilla13]

Personally (As a very dedicated Crown the Empire fan/ Runaway recruit) I think the album is amazing. People think you need to know the whole story to listen to it and everything but that isn't the case. The album is in chronological order and ties in with their album "The Fallout" (So listen to the fallout before the resistance). Honestly if you don't know the story by now, I suggest you listen to both the albums to fully understand. The story isn't that complicated and it's in order. The lyrics all tie in with each other. So if you're really gonna hate on this album because "It isn't as heavy" or "It doesn't make sense" or "It's nothing like limitless" or "because you shouldn't have to listen to the previous album before the new one", that's fine, but you need to chill. No artist keeps the same sound their whole music career. (Bad example) But look at Sleeping With Sirens. Think of their album "Lets Cheers to This" and "Feel". Both we're great albums (No offense but I didn't really like feel [That's just me though]) They had completely different sounds, but it was still the same band. I don't know. Again, I think Crown the Empire is pretty freaking phenomenal. If you don't that's your opinion, just don't be douche about it.

[@zanderj9335]

God Andy is amazing vocalist.

[@BReal14]

This song got me through a real rough time i'm going through right now. Thank you. Looking for those brighter paths is fucking hard, but i know they are out there....

[@camerontrue3789]

I hear the static drawing nearer, there's no way out I breathe the eyes and let the fire die I keep on feeling in the chemicals I need to breathe, but how could something so important not belong to me I can't pretend like I'm the one who's gonna change this But all I know is that our time is running out I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much better effort to go So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness I make mistakes and that my dreams slip through the cracks I've seen such hate surround the inside of this dark abyss But all this pain just makes me certain that there's luck for me to find a brighter path And out of the dust to see the light creep in and no it won't be long But let's confide, cause at least in the dark no one else can see who you really are So bring me, raise up your guns and blame me for all of your wrongs Seems hate is all I have left Yeah it's all I have left It's the only thing that's left of me I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much better effort to go So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness I make mistakes and that my dreams slip through the cracks I've seen such hate surround the inside of this dark abyss But all this pain just makes me certain that there's luck for me to find a brighter path So when you feel like you're falling under Holding onto the things you thought you loved Will you let all of the things you run from Chew you up and spit you out (There's so much now) I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much better effort to go I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much better effort to go So how much longer must I wait to fill this emptiness I make mistakes and that my dreams slip through the cracks I've seen such hate surround the inside of this dark abyss But all this pain just makes me certain that there's luck for me to find a brighter path (Find a brighter path!) Don't be scared, we'll see the lights go out

[@in_light_in_me]

I love how not only are the lyrics already in the description, but these are wrong lol

[@-JMo-]

The fact that the cog for this song is empty says a lot about it. I just need a lot of time to let the music soak into my bloodstream so I can understand it even more than I already do.

[@CHAOSMEERKAT]

Such a great album. Love the melody of this song! one of my favs

[@daizhaeliejohnson3228]

wanna know what pisses me off when a good song don't have over 1 million views but a terrible one could have 45 million total wankers...

[@hithere1827]

+Daizha Elie Johnson IKR LIKE ANACONDA

[@daizhaeliejohnson3228]

Ugh... my sisters love tht song when all there is ...is ass on the video.. nothing educational.. nothing meaningful... whole lotta cusing... and a ton of ass... I dont understand how anyone can like that 😷

[@hithere1827]

Daizha Elie Johnson same, I think those songs are popular because the people who made it do really stupid stuff for attention.

[@imperialcrusader2647]

+Daizha Elie Johnson Meaningful stuff doesn't sell sex does that's why sadly.

[@stephanielynn6459]

[@Mucicfreak34]

The best I've heard in a long time!! I'm so grateful to have found this amazing band!

[@bluesmiles5]

I really love this song tbh. It's such an underrated song, probably my favorite from the album. The lyrics are what make this one of my favorites by them. I connect to it easily. Not giving fucks whether people like this one or not

[@HGTheHamster]

One of my favorite Crown The Empire songs tbh

[@Gonzuh]

same

[@teamflyleaf123]

I was listening to this song when I found out my dad passed. Will forever have the most meaning to me

[@Asongwrittenforyou]

I'm in love with this album. Totally amazing!

[@InkylikestodrawFreezingPaint]

I just discovered this band like 20 minutes ago and I've heard Millenia, Machines, Memories of a Broken Heart, and this I think. any song recommendations? thanks :)

[@simbaxisxhighonxdatxstuff6824]

Bloodline and initiation are good choices

[@elisha636]

+xInkyx Johnny Ringo, Johnny's Revenge, Johnny's Rebellion, Cross Our Bones, Maniacal Me and Makeshift Chemistry are the ones that come to mind

[@candy_cane_miller1561]

+xInkyx listen to fallout part 2 extended its a great song by them

[@JordanRA]

+xInkyx Prisoners of War is really good, that hasn't been suggested already

[@alliereinhardt7078]

+xInkyx Maniacal Me, MNSTR, Voices, Rise of the Runaways

[@lovebuzz3474]

New favorite album, Oh my god.

[@kittykat2501]

Daves singing in this song is sooooOOOOOOooooo great omfg

[@Asongwrittenforyou]

"I get so tired lighting fires when I know we still have so much further left we could go" Se deep. I love this song so bad.

[@carbonio1450]

i'm in love with the lyrics

[@drmcninja9263]

I was wondering about a video for this song

[@johnnykooks4096]

The cool thing about this album is that any song on it could be somebodies favorite (this is an observation made from looking at other comments). Me personally, we'll I like them all! :)

[@steven-fury]

wow this is awesome, every song is just great

[@aaliyahg8012]

I literally love each and every song on this album with a deep and sensual passion. 😆 and that intro tho👌

[@jennukem7406]

I believe I have never related to a song like this, an album like this in a while! Call me a fanatic tasteless shit, but I loved old CTE, I loved The Fallout. THIS is a major step-up from all that. May I also say that they only got better as a band. They're growing up together and you can see that in them and their music. I saw them play on the Vans Warped Tour just recently at Orlando. Their crowd was fucking hellacious, they killed it! I saw them their first year on Warped last year, when they had the Ernie Ball stage. A much smaller but packed crowd, and to think they've blown up like this in only a year. It is incredible!! I feel close to them as a band. That is how you know they're a success.

[@robertwells1408]

This has got the be my favorite song on the new album

[@sweetandsalty9232]

still get the chills

[@shaluvlygunwellus7153]

HOW DO YOU BECOME A RUNAWAY RECRUIT? THIS A QUESTION FOR ALL TO ANSWER.... ME

[@sk8rat86]

This album has a little bit of everything I love it !!

[@chrismetz8963]

Best band i have ever listened to

[@qtip9673]

I seriously forgot cte sung this for a minute because its sounds so different. But idc i love them

[@jacobmengual455]

First time listening to this song, it has became one of my favorites :D

[@MinecraftsFallout]

People don't seem to understand that dave does more than just screaming, He has amazing clean vocals. He does a lot of backing vocals

[@Ricisapsycho]

Man has really 7 years since this album came out time flies

[@ハイジ-0]

these guys deserve more recognition

[@keristoferren1401]

Dave's voice is such a beautiful sound.

[@cocobarbarian1510]

Wait did i hear a second clean singer?? Is Dave the one singing clean with Andy??

[@cocobarbarian1510]

samantha gaskarth Dave sounds great. I only heard about two songs of the Fallout album so could you please tell me a song Dave does more cleans.

[@pwabbicorncoose8773]

In Bloodline Dave does most of the singing :D

[@Sexyforanerd22]

That's not Dave. It's Benn. Dave isn't as melodic.

[@pwabbicorncoose8773]

Wait..I meant screaming! Crap. I'm not sure if you meant screaming as well, but I meant screaming, my bad

[@misukiylambertson2764]

Are you high. Dave does vocals in legit every song except millenia from the fallout on. Dave has his own band now. He hits like a C#5/D5 in Kaleidoscope. He's pretty solid man.

[@doomanimefrei]

I can't listen to this, it's so beautiful and I love this band too

[@kurtisbrownmiller4369]

My favorite song on this album 👍

[@NikhilSharma-ug1rx]

I've been a CTE fan since Limitless, and I can safely say that this is my favorite song by them.

[@kaleolopes7882]

Éssa banda é muito fóda❤, pena que no Brasil ñ tem bandas assim, só tem lixo...

[@FRIFRIDAFRI]

a pesar de lo que digan de crown the empire ellos rifan y seguiran rifando para mi son de las mejores bandas y se notan cambios lo se, pero todo va para bien, la mejor cualidad de una banda es la de poder sorprendernos y solo quien soporte esos cambios sera fan, aunque no se trata de ser fan sino de saber apresiar la musica, asi que VIVA CROWN THE EMPIRE, SON MIS HEROES :)

[@uzumakitachi17]

Sabes.

[@VersezHD]

Amazing song. Sad that I missed there tour

[@askinganne11]

Best album of all time

[@alexmurphy8576]

[@shahana95]

[@attck29]

Sucks David is apart of this band anymore. CTE was my all time favorite band ever since Attack Attack broke up and it sucks they aren’t the same

[@aomiirani753]

I recently started listening to Crown The Empire and i instantly fell in love with their music. The voice in the starting and chorus is so soothing. Could somebody please tell me the name of the person that sings those parts

[@tsundokusan]

Love CTE! This song is awesome.

[@pwabbicorncoose8773]

I kind of thought it looked like Tate from American Horror Story, like when he's explaining his dreams to Dr. Harmon. Idek if you watch it but yeah xD

[@maebae5350]

Damn you. Now I won't be able to look at it the same way again

[@adric71300]

Pwabbicorn Coose YES IT LOOKS LIKE TATE!!! FINALLY IM NOT ALONE
