Crown The Empire - Voices

iTUNES: smarturl.it/cte...
MERCH: riserecords.mer...
The voices inside my head are taking over
They're telling me that my life is in danger
I'm scared that the silence won't come back forever
I believe this is my darkest hour
I pray
Over and over again
That this won't be my end
I still have a long life to live
I'm begging you, begging you
I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive
I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive
It's just to much to handle
I feel myself turn into stone
Desperate, as the voices linger
There's nothing left for me, please save my soul
I'm running out of time
I can feel the words crawling down my spine
I'm running out of time
(I can't remember the last time)
I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive
I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive
Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today
Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today
Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today
Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today, die today
I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive
I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

[@Theren_Alister_XIII]

David Escimilla is one of the best screamers I have ever heard. This song is nothing but proof, and the fact that he sounds exactly like this live is what makes him one of the best.

[@y0Richz]

Andy's vocal from the EP + Dave's screams in this version = Perfection

[@mitchellalex79]

the girl part in this is hauntingly amazing.

[@SuperTurboTurkey]

The old version + the old girl vocals were better in my opinion... I wish Crown The Empire left their EP material alone. Can't fix what's not broken. Wish they took that saying into consideration before recreating their old work.

[@TakeOnNE1]

SuperTurboTurkey Lmao wtf? The only thing that sounds better in the old one than the new one is the chorus. The girl part easily sounds better with the re issue. But what really annoys me is the fact you are bitching they remade something. You still got the old ep to listen to, and then there is the new one. how the hell is that a problem? The reissue is great and doesnt have auto tune everywhere.

[@FriggleFraggles]

Knightmare The cleans sound monotone which makes this boring. The beginning sounds lifeless, same with the chorus.

[@brianbockus]

FriggleFraggles I know what you mean. The original also seemed a bit faster too it seems like they slowed the song down almost

[@TakeOnNE1]

SuperTurboTurkey You're a fucking idiot who had to think of a reply for months. Not only that but scene kid? The fuck I'm pretty sure I'm older than you & I don't even dress scene at all. Fuck up tool.

[@sadmire]

This version is a lot cleaner. Sounds more like he's actually into the singing and the screaming. In my opinion this is a lot better than the EP version.

[@Acridobject]

andy isnt doing most of the screaming in this one, they rerecorded it with David

[@metalcored00d49]

Plus they tuned lower

[@ISN1P3RYOU]

This version is so much.. Stronger, in a good way. Love. It.

[@SteveOForToday]

Their new screamer.... holy shit.

[@greenmilklatte]

***** He obviously means new compared to the original vocals in this song aha

[@SteveOForToday]

***** I know he's not ''new'' dumbass. But he's not the original. So he's still the new screamer.

[@Neonzdzn]

SteveOForToday they both scream and clean sing

[@SteveOForToday]

Neonzdzn Ok?

[@DaltonBennettGamingAndVlogging]

do you mean david?? damn fucking straight! he's so badass!

[@AlyssaGemma]

Dave's screams add so much to this band, it's awesome!

[@DooDooDaddyTV]

Dave is the sickest screamer in this genre at the moment. He is even better live IMO. He can hit any scream at any time and hold it for what seems like forever. Dude is a monster. Andy sounds incredible live as well. Andy does this low scream live that adds to Dave's perfect crisp screams and just makes any breakdown so brutal. I would highly recommend seeing them live if you haven't already.

[@MindfreakCoD]

Dave the sickest screamer ? Oh please .... ever heard about Sam Carter ?

[@MidStatesMobile]

s0mnum bitch please its all Mike Hranica.

[@goldendevereaux]

Steven Rozeboom Hranica is losing his screams well atleast it sounds like on the record. Sam Carter isn't too bad but I'd prefer Dave and Mike over Sam.

[@MidStatesMobile]

I love David Just mikes vocals haven't changed to much since the beginning.

[@goldendevereaux]

They've just gotten more brutual. I stopped listening to them after Zombie Ep then got back to them with 8:18

[@DeathGrip0nYesterday]

Honestly, the older version sounds more enthusiastic. This is good, but I like the older one a little bit better.

[@animabatalla8668]

Agree

[@hellOKharen]

totally agree!

[@hamcity3112]

Andy voice gives thier sound so much depth. I don't know what it is about it but dang it's awesome.

[@JustChomp]

i kinda like andrews vocals better in the original but OMFG davids vocals sound amazing!

[@alyssea5125]

i think crown the empire has gotten better the further they go into their career. like their sound has improved and all that.

[@preyxd]

I like that they didn't use the modulated start like in the original version.

[@jeffforlife1590]

So true. In the original he sounded as if he had a lisp

[@shamus248]

voithes

[@preyxd]

Jesus I said that 6 years ago and yet again, here I am.

[@ghosthost43]

This song is one of the most relatable of all of theirs to me because I'm schizophrenic and honestly, every word hits deep.

[@vicentelanderos1665]

me too its poop but we got this so its chill

[@KeYBuMp1017]

The chorus would be tight for a movie

[@Theman0592]

Both versions are equally great.

[@yologutierrez123]

True!!

[@fazeobama-andrew6435]

I think the version with just Andy is better.

[@edgardganoweil]

Potato ?

[@DingDong-ee5fp]

I personally love the reissue over the original because i like Andrews clean vocals and runs now as opposed to before when he used a lot of auto tune. Its so much more impressive to hear his voice naturally truly proving his vocal talent.

[@ryzymx]

Dave sounds like he's trying way harder on his screams in these songs. It sounds like he's putting so much more strength behind his vocals rather than just doing the screams. They sound pretty fuckin' amazing.

[@Chelliniful]

honestly I didn't expect them to pull of a re-vamp of voices you cant get that song a second time its a song you just cant change because it was too good so I don't criticize this version .Overall got the reissue like 5 minutes after it came out been rocking it whole day REPLAY REPLAY REPLAY!!!

[@zachhatten261]

Voices off of Limitless was and is one of my favorite songs of all time. All of the reissues sound like half speed and no heart was put into them. They seem like they didn't give a shit whether or not they did it, as long as they got the reissue out and got their paycheck

[@itsscookin]

The screams in this version are incredible, and I really like the different pitches they use, but really, how much harder can you sing than limitless? Give this song its own merits and you might like it too

[@stephaniemwaniki9506]

well the screams are by a different person...

[@Snowman2388]

IM BAKING A POTATO!!!!

[@Dragonsongz1]

Did it explode? My cat did.

[@johnserda8199]

Dragonsongz1 I.. Wha... Alrighty then

[@Dragonsongz1]

john serda What? Does your cat not do that?

[@johnserda8199]

Hahahahahaha. stop I'm dieing

[@Dragonsongz1]

john serda Haha. Hahahahaha... HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAa.. no

[@bryanayala43]

I love both versions of this. Can't stop hitting replay on both!

[@Sayre777]

This brings back memories. Dark ones and good ones.

[@Hernandez.jack77]

First time I listened to CTE was yesterday and now i'm a fan :D Awesome band!

[@Vyngraven]

Autotune free.. nice

[@littlebandit3451]

This is the best month ever. Re-release of this album, Erras new album, and a bunch of album teasers from structures!!! :D

[@robled13579]

saw these guys last night in houston tx and they are unbelievable. great music and positive vibes coming from each one of them you guys rock

[@AriesDoesGames]

How much they've grown. *Sniff* *Sniff*

[@darshini7398]

Love this version

[@kamaral3923]

Does anyone else think that this sounds way better then when it was sung for the music video?

[@itsbekasaur]

yes

[@zephaniah666]

No

[@Highflyer615]

It actually makes me really happy that I checked the comments too this and didn't see any hate at all! Or maybe I just didn't scroll down far enough.

[@taylor0367]

I never liked the original version of this song because something about Andys voice in it bothered me. This is an improvement.

[@jerricperrycp]

In my opinion the original is great . I like this version too but I'm sticking to the original cuz I luv it. 😌

[@kavildass1613]

David Escamilla Is The Best Screamer In This Genre ATM He Is A Fucking BEAST Live He Sounds Exactly The Same

[@mitchellalex79]

At first I decided that the original was way better. I mean, why would they ruin the perfection of the original EP? After much thought and listening to every song a lot, I think the reissue is better. The production quality is way better. and Andy is singing in the range that they do it live. They lower it for live performance anyway right? So, Im a fan. and I am jamming hard to these songs. Plus Dave sounds SO SICK!

[@TheAjnett23]

there tone changed because of the key the guitars are in now. still sounds amazing. still favorite band ever

[@jamesli62]

*.* I'm in love lol xD there is now 2 versions of one of my favorite songs by crown the empire

[@brooklynseaman299]

god, David's scream..... I don't know I just find the screaming part of songs soothing to me ♡♥

[@JEWxChasers]

This song is so perfect

[@MrWeatherAddict]

Of course I would scroll down through the comments and come across your name! XD LOL

[@Sigfee]

I honestly like this better than the original.

[@leeandyleee]

andy and david both do cleans and screams really well. it's a shame they don't take advantage of that to create a duet type of vocals cause i really miss andy's screams.

[@naedei]

I'm seeing them live at vogue theater yaaaaaaaaaay!

[@0rland050]

congratulations! by the way that was definitly an sws referance

[@WaffleKiller15]

My favorite song from them :D love it!

[@TheDarkerCharizard]

I really like this much more than the original version

[@MitchWestWeather]

If you like heavy this version is for you, if you like more cleans the other version is for you. I llike this version better in my opinion.

[@fishy000]

Yes. Andy sounds much better than the pre-pubescent, fetus version that he was when the original version of this song came out.

[@AmaryxGamesYT]

This will be cooler if someone used the ep clean vocals but still have the reissue instruments and davids screams.

[@powerplay9876]

Im going to actually do that

[@jameshuerta3284]

+powerplay9876 did you do it? Lol

[@LambOfAlestorm70]

Sounds alot better!

[@ThatGuywTheFace5571]

I like that in this version they fixed the whole lisp thing in the intro, but I HATE that they replaced the beginning cello part that played in the background of the original with some back-and-forth techno beat. It makes the song seem so much less infamous.

[@PeacePanda77]

DAVE'S SCREAMS ARE JUST EARGASMIC

[@GozzableGG]

2:15 The sound it's so much better than the first clip

[@stephen303]

I was actually worried for how the remake of this song would be, but I think they did a great job.

[@misukiy2]

This is miles better than the original. I'm never going back to the ep :D

[@kiliabgonzalez3789]

I notice alot of people are saying the reissue "sucks" compared to the original. Of course everyone is titled to their own opinion, but I think some of you guys are just saying that because this is something different, and you're too used to how the original EP sounds like. When you listen to the reissued version more and more, you'll realize the production quality, and overall skill of this band has improved greatly since they put out the EP version.

[@fanspage5190]

i like their songs Machines, voices, and memories of a broken heart.

[@TrishaJanuary]

You can really hear the beauty of Andrew's voice

[@barneyli3014]

I happy to hear cleaner voice of Andy and Dave. Through this album,I'm sure they can already sing better. great!

[@MrMrJETS]

This version sounds so much more mature, love it

[@MrMrJETS]

***** but idk which i like more

[@hinatashouyou3521]

I saw them yesterday!

[@MrForever234]

I can't remember the last time That I said goodbye, or that I even tried I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive Love this part ..

[@calebculbertson6789]

Gosh I miss this band...

[@KlyzimStyle]

For everyone saying that this is shit and Andy doesn't sound the same... Look, if he sounded exactly the same, there would be no reason for a re-issue (which if you listen to Lead Me Out of the Dark.. You know he still got it). Besides, this is great for people that haven't got lucky enough to hear CTE yet and can now buy them both the EP and full album for only $10... Also, this means they are definitely going to play the songs in Concert with Dave the Sickest screamer out there. This shit is refreshing and CTE is and will always be the best. (In My Opinion)

[@ManofFeel]

They always played their old stuff... when they played South by So What they played 3 songs from Limitless ha. And Lead Me Out of The Dark was not re recorded btw

[@KlyzimStyle]

actually it was re-recorded. They just didn't change anything about it. But he re-sang it.. His highs are a tad cleaner and the piano is deeper in this one.

[@TrishaJanuary]

Lead me out of the dark wasn't re-recorded. it sounds exactly the same

[@Kussinator]

Everything about Crown the Empire is the same since since Limitless came out with the exception of the addition of Dave. Lowering the key of the songs does not make them refreshed.

[@AlmondOfDoom]

This turned out to be really good.

[@SrPmX]

This version is so good.

[@wackers234]

First time hearing this band and I like it

[@Slowenchiladas]

Love this reissue! Cant wait for the new album next year

[@AriesDoesGames]

ohmygosh this is so much better i'm in love

[@maggieHoweb8507]

I love this song

[@koltonhavas6724]

2:13 best part of the song.

[@angelsanchez2929]

I lover everything about The new albums from the new breakdowns to the new sound keep it up (:

[@emmalenhart2173]

i love this song

[@MyAfflictions]

I really like this version. Better vocals than the original. No fake sounding vocals, and the screams hit a lot harder. Especially near the end. Good job.

[@EnvisionIt210]

so much yes

[@bubbledreams6382]

What do we say to death? "Not toDAYYYYY!" -CTE

[@person1826]

I heard this and got goose bumps, I LOVE IT.

[@jaredwright4523]

love this track for sure

[@oreo4866]

Love it !

[@adrianbautista7245]

This is such a good songs

[@abbistarkweather4664]

Years later, I know the lyrics but I still hear “I’m baking a POTATO”

[@user-mp3pw9mi3r]

Thanks alot...

[@abbistarkweather4664]

6 6 6 you’re welcome

[@AriesDoesGames]

I remember this!

[@_AJTV_]

This version rocks much more **

[@evertonbrc]

You know a music is a masterpiece when with a slightly refined mix makes even better then when it was launched.

[@ilikeyacutg854]

Are you high? Slightly refined? They re-recorded the whole song and changed the vocals entirely. Then mixed it entirely differently. I was around when they dropped the original, and I remember hearing this version and still thought the original was better. I'm only here because I wanted to compare them again.

[@LastHunter0]

I think both versions are awesome! Keep up the good work guys.

[@rosie-hh6ox]

i have a special love for the old one

[@LayneLemons]

this is so sick I like this one the most

[@jaredliriano9555]

Agreed that Mike Hranica (yes especially with his screams on 8:18. Which is not "Mike's losing his voice" it's "Mike is putting emotion into his screams") And Dave from CTE are the best screamers at the moment

[@GageOgorman]

You clench your throat slightly while screaming high pitched to sound like Mike. Its just a technique that's un-used, hes not that fucking good, I like TDWP, but he really isn't near the best.

[@ciarabucci3760]

Can't wait to see what these guys do in the future!

[@reyx133]

Love this.

[@barbaroscelik3658]

what a pure female voice!

[@reconxodst9193]

They tune her voice, lol can't you tell?

[@reconxodst9193]

***** Then its not Pure -__-

[@eliaspiccinin9194]

***** who is the female voice of music? please! NAME

[@eliaspiccinin9194]

***** Obrigado

[@jacobgerth9737]

I love this album. :3

[@chorton4790]

[@AwkwardFantasy]

*-is schizophrenic* *-randomly clicks on this for no reason* *-sits here awkwardly after relating to the lyrics*

[@chloedupras8522]

Its so different but i love it so much more

[@ethanphillips7341]

I definitely want the reissue after hearing this

[@L0RxEn]

I love it.

[@akioniw17]

I loved this song before but with Dave's vocals added it sound way more powerful. I think this is my favourite song in terms of the re-issue of Limitless.

[@Anntivist717]

I love this!

[@ManchesterUnitedFC11]

The voices are telling me to get this on release day !!!!!!!!!!
