Architects - "Gone With The Wind"

[@davidsol8898]

honestly, this song is so sad. so many bands from this scene talk about how they want to die and how depression makes them suicidal but a man who writes a song knowing he is going to die is something that makes this an incredibly sad and emotional band. ever since Tom died a new meaning came to every song they ever wrote.

[@davidsol8898]

and it's meaning is incredible, he's comparing his own cancer to the state of society and that to me is just something else...

[@iamrob3044]

David Solman Right, Tom was almost a philosopher with the way he explained things, and I know he was pretty fond of Alan Watts. I found him through Tom.

[@dbo4506]

Did tom write THIS? He passed not long after the album before this one was released I thought....?

[@leonsubbotsky6087]

He wrote everything from what I think. He wrote this. He also wrote doomsday which is from the new album. I can just assume he was the main writer and wrote all of the other albums

[@iamrob3044]

SUPER T yeah tom was the main song writer before his passing.

[@CJ-Litty]

Stage 4 melanoma (a sickness with no remedy), your white blood cells are the final line of defence to defeat the cancer (except the ones inside of me). He went into this album knowing this was going to be his last. His swan song, momento mori has definitely made me more mindful of death. My goodness. Tom you were/are a fucking legend, no one in this industry could ever replace you nor top your works, status and strength as an artist. Your guitar work has inspired me since "Ruin" and having found out years before that you write most of the lyrics on the songs we now know as the classics of Architects, your words have deeply touched and changed my life (donating to sea shepherd, awareness of animal rights, being more empathetic, writing better riffs) and I will always be eternally grateful for that. Rest in peace, wish I could have sat down and had a chat with you mate

[@russthompson4922]

Cameron Little It's pretty much the most deadly cancer. Gotta catch it so early on. Later on it spreads so quickly until u got tumors all over. Sadly watched my mother pass away from melanoma in 1999. So sad to hear. He was very young. Just recently got into Architects, only to see in comments that Tom passed. Fuck cancer!

[@TNuernberg]

Cameron Little seen them in Sydney with Bmth. Such a great set and playing this at the end almost had me in tears.

[@lordnacht3721]

Same man, I only recently got into Architects, this is only the third song I've heard from them. Then, reading the comments for this song, I learned that the guitarist fucking died...fuck cancer man. But then I was confused. I had thought it was the singer that died, but it was the guitarist. So who is singing the sing, Tom Searle, or Sam Carter? Did Sam write this song for Tom, or...what?

[@Jimbovian]

Tenebrarum Domini Tom (guitarist) wrote pretty much everything for the band, including the majority of the lyrics. Sam is the vocalist, I think the he writes a few lyrics here and there but most of it was down to Tom. Tom is the one who passed away.

[@hakikigulyabani]

[@simoncallister6071]

I met Tom once. Sam had just joined and they had just released 'Ruin'. Rock Sound magazine gave it 6/10 and Tom was so down, he doubted they would ever make it. Look how far you and your friends came brother, you were a big if not the biggest part of this success, RIP Tom

[@wadewilson7527]

I cant agree more. I was so amazed by that record when i first listend to it. It was incredible. But i was always wondering why it had such a melancholic taste (not in a bad way though). And as i was re-listening to the album after Tom had passed away it hit me so hard. I mean, music is my life. Im having hard times in my life with a heavy chronic desease (luckily ist treatable) and depression. And music is what keeps my head up. So im listeing to a lot of stuff every day. But i've never had a record hitting me so close to home. It feels like a diary of a dying person. It almost has every of the 5 phases of dying. Anger - Nihilist Gravity - Bargaining Gone with the Wind - Depression Memento Mori - Acceptance I believe no one who hasnt suffered from anything like that will be able to tell what he went through. But this record will give you at least a "good" taste of it. This is what music for me is all about. And cant express enough how much i love that record and how much it means to me. (Which is also the reason why im going to get a tattoo of it this year.)

+Ziad Jamal lol I've been a long time fan and honestly, I think Daybreaker was their best. Perfect balance between clean and harsh vocals, riffs and breakdowns. Don't get me wrong, I like where the band is going creatively now, but it seems like the LF//LF era of Architects is bringing way too many chugs into the band's sound (which have always been unnecessary given the artistic geniuses Architects are). This new single sounds much better than the last one, even though I have a feeling this is gonna be LF//LT vol. 2, thus being a polished chug factory-very powerful, but not Daybreaker grabyoufromthehair-good. Each to their own I guess.

He meditated up to 5 hours a day and even played Rock am RIng and Rock im Park while being incredibly fatigued due to his late stage cancer. He even joked to his nurses about them taking pictures for his tinder profile while at the hospital, when he kinda knew how bad things are. Not saying it was all fun and games but this man really had an incredible way of dealing with the circumstances. RIP Tom you fucking legend

The very last day she couldnt talk at all and we gave her water with a sponge, she couldn't hold her head up. Was so heartbreaking. But she did spend her last days talking to god and repentance. When she left I over came with happiness it was so weird but the next days I couldnt believe the woman who raised me was gone. When I found out she had cancer this song came to me and she is the first in my family to have cancer and it shocked us all. Cancer was actually real in front of me.

My friend introduced me to architects a few months ago, and when I heard this specific song I damn near lost it, I immediately related to this song looking back at when I was diagnosed with cancer. It pushed me to my limits physically and mentally. I did research into this song after listening to it and saw how it was wrote, who wrote it, and actually lost it. I saw Tom passed away August 21st, 2016, I found out I had cancer 4 days after which happened to be my birthday as well I had just turned 19. Almost a year later and a lot of chemo and my cancer was gone. But just living with something that can take you from this world so easily makes you learn to accept harsh realities, ones that carry on afterwards. I just feel like the last 6 1/2 years I’ve been alive has just been borrowed time.

[@laurencewhite6560]

Ok here me out. As someone who has struggled with mental health his whole life, and been pushed to the edge by it, this song really hits home, even if that's not the original meaning of the song. "I take a leap of faith, but I lose my nerve, in the end I'll get the hell that I deserve" : Trying to break through those barriers in your head, but coming up short, and feeling even emptier "A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me" : Knowing at the end of the day, it's your own self that can beat your demons "If I could silence all the doubt in me, except that what is meant to be" : Understanding the need to not be broken by what you can't control.

the same with me. my best friend also died in december abit before christmas and its still hard but as you said .... even this song is fucking sad but it keeps the good memories alive.

[@Pietroago666]

The notes that Sam reaches... wow

[@leora2792]

Consistent with the sound on their last album(s) yet still showing progression and growth. Maintaining heaviness whilst adding powerful, melodic parts. Architects is truly a band that continues to rise from the ashes of a burned out genre. Sam's voice is out of this world, and I don't even think we've seen the true extent of what he can do. The lyrics are nothing short of poetic. The instruments are not out-shined by his voice; rather, they complement it and add their own flavor to the overall song in a beautiful balance. And let's not forget the iconic blegh that defines them. A solid 10/10 for this one.

[@hussguy1990]

blegh has been iconic for one album.... it does not define them.

[@leora2792]

+hussguy1990 Dude I was just joking with that part lol. I don't actually think that defines them, I just wanted to add some humor to my comment.

[@hussguy1990]

+Leora Ojadi fair enough, I've just been a fan since like 2008 and only since 2014 is a people been all like blegh ohhh architects blegh, I need to hear a blegh, it's barely part of there sound, but I think most of there fans only know that album!

[@leora2792]

+hussguy1990 haha I understand. I've only known them since 2012. I think the whole blegh thing is hilarious.

[@hussguy1990]

+Leora Ojadi yeah I guess, I just don't see what it adds to the songs too make it such a topic of conversation oh well, cheers

[@vincentmack9542]

Of all the songs I’ve ever heard in my life, this song in particular has gained my deepest emotional tie.

[@lukebailey3023]

This album, with the lyrical content and themes resonates so powerfully after toms passing and sam just passionately paints it all so well, R.I.P Tom

[@dihajarrock5858]

My Favourite track by Architects : - Naysayer - All Love Is Lost - The Empty Hourglass - Death Is Not Defeat - Gone With The Wind - Gravity - The Distant Blue - Hereafter - Royal Beggars - Holly Hell - Mortal After All

[@luckygold97]

Broken cross is a great one tho

[@sarcasm4371]

damn Match Made in Heaven and Gravedigger aren't here. I'm genuinely surprised, they are both amazing to me and share a very similar song structure as well as lyrical content.

[@lukeberrie3942]

"I remember when you said to me "Friend, hope is a prison"". So heart breaking. Still thinking about you two months on Tom. Rest in peace pal x

[@JoeyDowdy]

RIP Tom. He knew what was coming. You can hear it. It's so powerful. ):

[@loser_x]

A sickness with no remedy.. beautiful lyrics

[@alexvedom]

and it all suddenly makes sense after Tom's death

[@dissonantgrooves]

7 years later and i still cant hear this song without crying.

[@alexandreborges1776]

same

[@taymneon]

This song is absolute perfection. It has me more excited than I've ever been for the future of a band.

[@AlexChov1985]

I can't believe the perfection of lyrics, music, video clip. BLEGH

[@ArdentiSidera]

This hit so much heavier after I realized the familiarity of the lines of "labyrinth with no escape" and "to keep myself under lock and key" points to remaining inside the Pandora's box, because the last to come out of the Pandora's box is Hope. Pandora's box is metaphorically something that you will leave unopened so that the last remaining Hope would not escape amidst the unexpectable problems and troubles that the box contains, and in this song, that unexpectable trouble is inevitable death from sickness. You've locked yourself in the Pandora's box to hold on to that Hope, so now your "Hope is a prison." I got chills down my spine.

[@joshyoung2758]

Just found this song today and read about Tom. I absolutely cannot stop listening. What a powerful song.

[@royalcityry]

I just discovered this band about a week ago and I'm just blown away by everything they put out. Musically and lyrically talented. I can't stop listening to them. I then find out they lost their guitar player (R.I.P Tom) which is sad as hell. He was an amazing musician. If they ever come near Toronto, I"m there.

[@askingthetruth]

Lyrics: The weight of the world is resting on thin ice When the surface breaks will I find paradise? As I freeze to death, left to reflect What a waste of time I was, in retrospect I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve I'm always gone with the wind Crawling in and out of my mind God knows, I lost all my faith A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me Do you remember when you said to me "My friend, hope is a prison." Hope is a prison Of all the patterns that I could create, I built a labyrinth with no escape To keep my 'self' under lock and key I am my own worst enemy I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve I'm always gone with the wind Crawling in and out of my mind God knows, I lost all my faith A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me If I could silence all the doubt in me Accept that what is meant to be (Is meant to be) You ever wonder how deep you can sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate Annihilate me Do you remember when you said to me "My friend, hope is a prison."

[@survivorturnover]

architects are just pure gold. blegh everywhere

[@Fitznicelyable]

This new album and the last have put a knife in this genre.. everyone else can go home

[@CoNkUsT69]

+Fitznicely except parkway :)

[@CoNkUsT69]

lol u got no clue

[@francismahon2]

IRE was fucking awful. Parkway need to reinvent themselves.

[@CoNkUsT69]

Francis A Mahon how is 'dying to believe' awful? that's 1 of the sickest songs they have ever made

[@KiloPage777]

I'm listening to it and it's pretty lame. *sigh*

[@singingblueberry]

A song that I always find myself coming back to, even years later. Incredible sound and lyrics.

[@Openyourlungs]

I don't know how the fuck they are holding the highest bar for all these years setting it higher and higher with every new record This song especially shows how talented they are 10/10 Thank you

[@TristanDunham-u4v]

This song is very heartfelt. Many would say this type of music has no meaning and is just "noise". I like to think it's the best form of expressing feeling. Whether its anger or being passionate about something.

[@hiro0216sprint]

This shows why they are still kings. It's not a song, it's the scream of the soul. Architects never fade.

[@ProMasterSage]

I lost my Grandma to cancer on February 19, 2021. This song hits me in a way I can't describe. Rest In Peace, Love you always

[@etniescsaba]

Shake your head and cry it all out when u listen this song ! You are gonna be fine ! Nyugodjon Békében (Rest in peace)!

[@snakeeyes9246]

I lost my grandmother (from my dad's side) to cancer on the same day. That sucks.

[@sollomon]

4 years and this still hits like a fucking truck

[@jbarnesiii88]

You guys cannot quit. Yes, Tom was was such an inspiration and could never be truly replaced, but that does not mean it gives you the right to give up. If you'd stop, what's really left? What's left for you? For us?

[@elliottreagan4138]

This is definitely the most emotional song I’ve ever heard. I can’t listen to it without tearing up. T//S forever.

[@rishinandan5562]

This and Memento Mori, T//S forever.

[@metalbass62]

3 years, rip T//S still inspiring

[@jaredh5298]

Might be the best song of the last 10 years. So pessimistic but somehow optimistic. Watched it live and the pit during the breakdown part was so surreal we all were singing quietly to each other shaking hands and then just went haywire. There’s a metaphor for humanity there somewhere lol. It was insanely beautiful beyond words.

[@eidolon2226]

Been following these guys since the beginning. Drove halfway across the country to get to the Follow The Water video shoot. Much love. Never disappoint. Can't wait for the album.

[@Aizen52]

Now that's dedication.

[@nickluciano2219]

Architects should be on top of this genre man, they need more recognition. This is literally one of the greatest bands in the genre, if not the best. And if you haven't had the luxury of seeing them live, I'm sorry. By far one of the best live bands I have ever seen. Cant wait for this fucking album guys!

[@simoneriksson6998]

Agree 100%

[@Mora-tp1rl]

+Nick Luciano Agree! And I haven't seen them live but I've seen too many live videos and they sound fucking exactly or even better to their albums. One of the best live bands :D

[@nickluciano2219]

Diego Mora Definetly. It was one of the best nights of my life

[@thenailgunsafety]

+Nick Luciano Totally agree. Fortunately it seems like Architects has really exploded in terms of exposure and popularity since LF/LT. I remember seeing them live only about 2 years ago (right before LF/LT was released) and they were playing a tiny club in Ottawa as an opening act for PTH. As much as I love PTH (it's a requirement for Canadian metal fans), Architects had BY FAR the best set. Really hope this album takes them to the next level and gives them exposure they truly deserve. Such a refreshing band in a genre thats become so stale.

[@dixonticonderoga5579]

I agree more is well deserved, but it has been great to see the amount they've gotten since LF/LT, and this new album will only increase that amount further.

[@isaiahach]

I've started listening to Architects back in December 2018 and when I came across this song I couldn't hold back my tears because I've been dealing with depression for a little over 2 years now and the lyrics explained how I've been feeling. Great band, great music, great lyrics

[@IcameAsRussArm]

2:03 I cried on this part...

[@ryken_]

+Icke Martirosyan same dude

[@Mora-tp1rl]

+Icke Martirosyan same here. That part is so emotional and beautiful. And the rest of the song is glorious

[@jontelunsmann6141]

got mad goosebumps holy shit

[@xnax1993]

+Icke Martirosyan Don't mind me sitting here teary-eyed staring at a music video.....

[@itsriyaa2378]

+bigdeadanimals yeahhhhh!:')
