Gravity's Union - Coheed and Cambria with lyrics

[@vakalkas]

The fucking emotion and power of this song. Possibly the purest track I've ever heard.

[@cobaltfalcon9458]

The story of the Amory Wars is somewhat lost on me, but this particular chapter I understand completely. The Afterman is one of the most real albums I've ever heard. I read the story behind the album, and the meanings of the songs, and honestly, was really angered that Claudio had the audacity to remind me that I had emotions and feelings.

[@amandaross9743]

Cobalt Falcon hahahahahahahha the last part of your comment is the best lol💚💚💚 Claudio giving us all the feelings💚💚💚

[@Fizzlepop72]

The Afterman albums have a more relatable story than the rest of their albums. It's a more human tale of loss and reconciliation.

[@eziosforge1048]

Cobalt Falcon k

[@computergeeq]

I think as the albums progressed, the story got more diverse and had more depth created, plus Claudio became a better writer. The early albums were so hard to follow storyline wise, you just HAVE to read the comics to get any glimpse of story. Then he wrote a book for The Black Rainbow and I think that pushed him really hard and he's totally grown since. Im really excited to see how the story develops with the new album, especially since his wife has helped him write it too.

[@Andronicus87]

You need to go ahead and ree valuate your life here buddy that's why the rest of the Amory wars is lost on you. Matters close to the heart.... that is why the whole world is getting fcked up everyone is saring at screens adn not having face to face conversations about matters close to the heart.

[@DigitalDevil94]

One of the best on both albums... The explosion at 5:02 is just golden

[@emperorbunnybun7513]

I agree 100% with this man

[@simonaguirre1441]

i see, a man of culture

[@thewritingwriterof89]

Gravity's Union is the huge, sweeping thematic piece that Coheed and Cambria has always deserved. Such a broad powerful sound. What a triumph.

[@ewegenia]

Both of these albums have so many songs that are so, so, so powerful and emotional. The composition of the songs and the emphasis on words. The lyrics. All of the Key Entity Extractions and this and Number City and Goodnight, Fair Lady. Just, so many. They're great.

[@Lesardah]

"The roar of the engine won’t cease" causes nuclear-grade goosebumps every damn time.

[@TwilightWolf285]

The way Claudio sings at 3:47 is just perfection. Total confidence and certainty there. Dr Straight *knows* that he can fix this, the power of life bestowed once more unto a human being.

[@samattckwrkx3674]

To this day it still angers me that a video for this song wasnt made. Ive always had such amazing visions of this song and translating it into a movie like music video depicting the inside of the car as it spins out of control, glass shattering , their bodies just suspended inside this metal carcass of a vehicle, all of it just entangled in the characters memories of how life was before this took place........ this song is truly a masterpiece Coheed and cambria is forever a source of inspiration and vision it is a band that I will take to my grave , forever entangled in my heart and mind. Thank you Claudio.

[@ThBstFSxy]

I envision the "shadow dancing through the roof" line perfectly and would love to see it portrayed in a video. Dr. Straight coming in to save the day, maybe one day Claudio will hear our cries... THE ROAR OF THE ENGINE WON'T CEASE!

[@kelliedixon8704]

Well said. The only thing that I would change is when they are thinking back before it ends they see their families in front of them and they fade away.

[@mattsmith1982]

This has been my favorite track since the album dropped... Still hasn't changed. It's perfect

[@morticiaadams]

Ditto ^_^

[@danutd94]

In floods of tears every time at that middle part with the doctor entering. Describing their injuries in detail and “THIS life I can save” is basically Sirius overhearing the doctor tell the nurse that he can’t do anything to save his wife’s life but he can save Sirius, who would then have to live with the guilt that the accident was his fault but he made it out alive.

[@truenorth28]

"Every man has a point Where he breaks or conjoins Among pressure that floods to complicate Matters close to the heart Will define who we are Do we love? Do we hate? We are only the meat" Love it.

[@elgusto8874]

That melody sounds like a evil chant which summons the dead. So beautiful.

[@NewWorldCT]

this is a really well designed song, not only because of the story but also because of how he sings it. super well engineered.

[@SaoGage]

"Caged....Locked in perpetual motion." Rivals "Dear Ambellina, the Prize choose you.." and "With the last breath of air as the earth comes trembling down" as Coheed's most epic moment.

[@dragonspawner8360]

the prise chooses you, not the prize. sorry I hate seeing people make that small mistake. can't help it.

[@SaoGage]

+Dragon Spawner No worries, I get it :)

[@demiholmes5659]

+Dragon Spawner Probably has to do with people associating it with Prize Fighter Inferno.

[@ChillumBeats]

You forgot: "And she screamed, Claudio! Dear Claudio! I wish, God damn it, we'll make it if you believe!"

[@rerditirerthz5568]

"Man your Jack Hammers, Man Your Batlle station"; "Tonight, Goodnight, I'am Burning star IV"; "This is no begining, This is The Final Cut"; "Raise Your hands High! Young brothers and Sisters! " and the" pray for us all"section, alongside with the ones you said, are my favorite epic lines from Coheed

[@TheWarriorBeard]

"Baby, please remember the better me." Sirius left his wife to pursue the keywork. He makes it out after almost dying. This song is about his wife, who was pregnant, dying in a car crash while riding home with him. They got into a fight and he lost control of the car. "This is my love into a ten ton truck."

[@ther3aper561]

That makes all of the lyrics make sense. Thank you

[@daysand123]

Its even more relatable and sad when you realize Claudio wrote this song based off his fear of driving a car and the horrific fate one wrong turn could cause him.

[@zeffmalchazeen3429]

also it was not his child, who could blame Meri? Sirius was gone a long time and thought was dead. Also in the 2's my favorite 1, he went back to the Keywork to find her

[@williammartin1473]

^ | This story is so amazing and sad.

[@daseinpanzerbjrn9324]

This the last track on my running playlist. Always gets me through the barriers.

[@lukeguy6726]

This just happened to me!!!!! Haha

[@ShroomRPG]

The use of Drop A on this song makes it one of the most heavy and intense sounding things they've ever put to record I was jamming it earlier and have always noticed how the low tuning makes the guitars sound almost like an engine, very fitting indeed

[@CGriffith910]

This is the most Coheed's most Coheed song. You know what I'm saying? Prog greatness, storytelling through music and creative guitar phrasing. Best song ever.

[@MaMMaLHoMiCiDe]

I don't know, man. This song hits harder than any other Coheed song I've heard. There isn't a single line that's wasted, here.

[@rubensh618]

5:20 *.* fell in love with that combination of his voice and the guitar background *.*!!

[@thecrowing7772]

SO good! Its so Powerful. A great way to climax this epic song

[@Joelwhct]

"Our lives are one colliding up, and beyond!" Claudio is a genious. This is one my fav coheed songs of all time.. Been a fan since

[@stephenabbott1129]

this is one of my favorite albums and this track shows a lot of emotion. so much power.

[@arsonne]

5:02 Goosebumps activated

[@BlueEonApocalypse]

This is the masterpiece of Descension.

[@EmoDreamgirl]

This song (and its chorus) is beautiful because of the raw power and emotion with which it is sung. It gives me goosebumps.

[@christopherbroadlayne3290]

This was kindly suggested by a helpful youtuber . Wow Im Loving this band and its only the third song ive ever heard from them. Im excited for the journey ahead!

[@ZephyrusFalcon]

It gets better with every song my dude

[@eiilos98]

5:45 "We are together we fall together" Goosebumps in my whole body!

[@michaelerickson7364]

I honestly never noticed this. Thank you!

[@Ricorevenge]

That chorus is so unbelievably powerful!! This album is so amazing thank you for the uploads League!

[@jaredbryce7964]

This track is so good...I wasn't the biggest fan of The Afterman albums, but this track hooked me good the moment I heard it. Seeing it live was incredible too, they opened with it instead of In Keeping Secrets, I almost had a fit...and then they played In Keeping Secrets directly after, haha

[@christopherwoetzel3589]

This is badass. I have been a fan of Coheed and Cambria since 02 in Saint Haliena Park. East Baltimore MD. I came home from Prison in 2014 and looked this album up on KZbin, this was my favorite song from that album. Shoutout to Coheed for drowning out the sirens and gunshots I heard growing up.

[@TheSlammurai]

Legendary already on its own and even better when you know the story being told.

[@nhsdl06]

Adding a white outline to all of your lyrics would make them easier to read.

[@halowaffles]

Damn, that last lick in the outro needs to be it's own song

[@mizuviper]

Why am I still trying to comprehend the clusterfuck of that face

[@Kenlac92]

+Aki Tsutsumi i actually try to figure it out everytime i see this artwork...

[@nog5904]

It's Sirius Amory, being deconstructed in the keywork.

[@Dunnerski]

Imagine meeting that guy on an acid trip. It was intense

[@HonorableZealot]

This is by far my favorite Coheed song. It's nice to see some of the old coheed back with Descension. Josh fits the band so much better and really drives the album. Well done Cludio you magnificent bastard.

[@IncandescentHorizon]

Coheed never fails to produce something magical

[@spenzmatik]

I love how heavy this song is. Can't get enough.

[@floschaubmaier4193]

this feels like an internal explosion to me. suddenly this vessel of flesh and bones gets filled with something i nearly forgot that it exists. i cant even describe how much i love this band

[@WhimsicalPyro]

Fucking powerful.

[@PreciousNectar]

Indeed it is!

[@lukaszcichy8883]

And I was wrong to let u go... Amazing piece of art...

[@88swordmaster]

one of my favourite from Coheed

[@last7116]

THE best Coheed and Cambria track ever!

[@Zap_Rowsdower_Needs_Beer]

Coheed just keeps taking it up another notch I swear each Album is getting better and more creative. I'm actually thinking of getting a Tattoo of the Triangles and Planets

[@akkalat85]

Anyone else think Claudio's voice sounds the best on this record? Any comparisons to Geddy Lee are gone and we are left with a more powerful voice. Just my opinion.

[@BlackbearBosin]

I actually agree completely. With time he's grown into a very powerful vocalist who relies less on falsetto, mostly due to the back up vocals being so strong.

[@jabanoba]

His voice in this song is amazing. You can really hear the amount of emotion he puts into this song.

[@semp223]

Aaron Kalat so much passion.. you can really feel it man.

[@cobaltfalcon9458]

Yeah, but being compared to Geddy Lee is quite the compliment

[@alexwales8914]

His falsetto is Geddy-like but I think he has power Geddy doesn't.

[@herportraitinblack33]

this playlist is flawless and solid. thank you so much.

[@orphaeus99]

Oh God this outro gets better and better each time I hear it. I really hope they play this live at some point.

[@dr.claw.9444]

[@falcon45ca]

[@willclark2786]

btw LeagueOEG - when he says "I am your 'prize' its spelled "Prise". But great job on the video i love it!

[@Unh0lySpectre]

While you may not have, the fact remains that many listeners have found Coheed's work to be emotionally engaging. If you disagree, that's fine. My request is that you do not dedicate your time to criticizing what you detest, and instead, surround yourself with what you enjoy. Go listen to Camel, comment there, discuss your favorite songs with others that share your interest, rather then force your opinions on those who so obviously disagree.

[@swirlypoliwhirl119]

Does anyone else hear the chanting from 5:39 to 6:11 in the background? Anyone know what it's saying?

[@pinkiepie1754]

Any song from SSTB to IKSSE:3 to both Good Apollos to YotBR and bot Aftermen is good. Also, Prize Fighter Inferno is awesome, Shabutie if your'e into harder rock.

[@GhostPants16]

So what tuning does Claudio use in this song? I read somewhere it was drop A but that's a six or seven string tuning. He uses an 8 string for the song. So either it is drop A and the 8th string is obsolete or its an 8 string tuning. Does anyone know? Thanks

[@TKilgannon]

I believe it's played on a baritone guitar, so probably whatever the standard tuning for a baritone would be my guess

[@usaflagraybans]

He uses a Stephen Carpenter 8 string for this song, but it's tuned A-E-A-D-F#-B for the record and he uses an 8 string live. In an interview he mentioned that he wrote it on an 8 string, so it may be just Standard 8 with the low B tuned down to A and the F# just being used for show. I play it on my seven string all the time.

[@94butterdbread]

Definetly the best song on the album

[@ivanyiattila3547]

I import this tracks in GTA Vice City radio and Fifa menu musiclist.

[@ChaseEversoleTV]

I wonder if the song title is a reference to Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow?

[@jesusantanamusic]

it's easy to misheard or miss details from Claudio .. in The Hard Sell I thought he said The Show's About to start when it actually said The NEXT show's about to start .. lol .. and lots and lots more of misheard lirycs by me :D .. they rock .. so I don't care .. I found it even better :) .. it's his unique singing style :)

[@whateveryasaypal5022]

I love the amory wars and the afterman albums aren't technically part of the amory wars since it takes place before and has no similar characters from the amory wars and doesn't effect the series that much (although it does I think, keep in mind I have only read bits and pieces of the year of the black rainbow and the second stage turbine blade) BUT the afterman albums are my favourite cohere albums and I love the story for them more than than the actual events of the amory wars (coheed and Cambria kilgannon and Claudio kilgannon and other side characters etc) but yeah I'm rambling but I'm sorry I love the story for the afterman albums SO fucking much

[@TheAlmightyVox]

The music does follow the story. This song, for instance, is about the main character crashing into a truck, killing his wife in the process, and going into critical condition and being saved. All that's in the lyrics.

[@Smithysmithin]

Is there any other songs like this one that anyone would recommend? From Coheed i mean. I'm not very knowledgeable of Coheed yet.

[@hachioda8602]

the entire in keeping secrets of silent earth 3 album is amazing:D

Do we hate? We are only the meat We understood the unmistakable Two romantics on holiday and How they stole our love Caged Locked in perpetual motion Carving our wounds wide open But you let the wrong one in Caged Locked in perpetual motion Carving our wounds wide open But you let the wrong one in Caged Locked in perpetual motion Carving our wounds wide open But you let the wrong one in Caged Locked in perpetual motion Carving our wounds wide open But you let the wrong one in

[@Im4themotherland]

Well, that depends on which "Good Apollo" you're talking about. Besides, Good Apollo I & II might not be the best examples. Acention and Decention are, from a technical standpoint, the best albums in both execution and mastery; Decention being the best, though my favorite would have to be Keeping Secrets.

[@escoggs]

@meatflesh Have you ever heard of the Amory Wars? It's unfair to say this has no storyline. I'm sure you didn't care enough to actually see. This actually has a storyline (maybe hard to see) about a scientist who was back for more than a year in space. He returns to find his wife with another man. He is driving his wife (Meri) home from his award ceremony when they collide with a 10 ton truck. Sirius (the main character of the song) took his thoughts off the road when Meri says she is pregnant with the other man's child.

[@kevingomez3858]

what an unfaithful bitch

[@IndignantCynic]

kevin gomez It's been 5 months, but I still feel the need to reply. He was presumed deceased after his ship exploded, and it was nearly two years until he actually turned up alive to them. The explosion could actually be seen by people on that planet. And Meri was actually a very faithful wife.

[@escoggs]

You are now my best friend.

[@kevingomez3858]

Yea but even so 2 yrs is a cery short time. She should b more like odysseus wife

[@IndignantCynic]

That would be pointless if Sirius actually was dead, which everyone thought. Life went on while Sirius was trapped in the Keywork. In the case of Odysseus, he was never declared dead. This case has nothing to do with faith at any rate. You cannot a normal person sit down and wait for, as far as anyone's concerned, a dead man. Besides, Meri underwent at least 6 months of depression. (That ain't healthy.) Give her some credit.
