Rise Against---Dancing for Rain

The song "Dancing for Rain" by Rise Against.

[@musiclovr191]

"If I held my ground, would you ask me to change?" In my opinion, greatest quote ever. In every song, there's at least one line that is truly powerful lyrics. Rise Against have the greatest lyrics in their songs I've ever heard.

[@deadbeat-vc9kg]

Check out Backwordz. Gnarly wordplay. Reddstar is dope too, and just as good live.

You know the music's good when it gives you goosebumps...

[@ZurRuheGelegt]

soo agreed

[@MrArnyek11]

I mean... I agree but here it's just generally cold.

*sigh* he can sing anything and he'll still sound beautiful.. f'ing love rise against

[@MrFlopz]

I can't make a list of my favorite rise against songs because ever time I listen to one I always think it's my favorite... :/

[@jsellis4632]

Were losing daylight but I can't work any faster. Under the veil of dust we go on Don't close your eyes. What if it all disappears in the shadows? Now reach for the stars If I held my ground would you ask me to change This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain We drink the air but its still not the same These worlds collide but the distance remains We point the finger, never accept the blame and I know, I know The waters come but the fire still rages on here The men all shrugged their shoulders and left We sleep so sound in rooms just up the stairs Will you save us like you saved them? If I held my ground would you ask me to change This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain We drink the air but its so not the same These worlds collide but the distance remains We point the finger, never accept the blame and I know, I know You've bled me dry but I'm still breathing I swear I'm sucking dry the sky And you won't ever find us kneeling Or swallowing your lies If I held my ground would you ask me to change This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain We drink the air but its so not the same These worlds collide but the distance remains We point the finger, never accept the blame, and I know, I know This drought bleeds on, this drought bleeds on

[@bomsbravo]

Thank you! I was just about to google the lyrics. You saved me few minutes and I will make good use of it.

[@tygarrett9356]

I listened to this song everyday for 15 months in Iraq. It was the perfect way to get to work. Its a shame they arenothing like this anymore. Oh well. Appreciate what they made.

[@Flamefollower]

Thanks for your service, be it military or otherwise.

[@Seabee156]

Actually, when I saw them Live this past November, they played it as a song in their Setlist! :-)

[@Turb0v]

I don't know if you have kept up with them recently, but i have to say their newest album "Wolves" that dropped a month or so ago is actually very good and refreshing compared to the last few releases, you should check it out if you haven't already!

[@tymurray2080]

I am addicted to this song.

[@Orion_The_Merchant]

you forgot about how Rise Against is pure bad ass. One of the best bands of the modern day.

[@KillyJoe]

Man do they even make music like this anymore. No.....there’s just so much to it and it all goes together great you can’t help but really feel this album. It’s pretty cool

[@jasonrandall5210]

anyone who doesn't like rise against is certainly entitled to their opinion, but mine is they arent listening

[@500burnout]

Yea, I completely agree. It's not just the music (even though its amazing). In my opinion the lyrics are the best part of the song. Tim McIlrath is a poetic genius.

[@boostedzx2zetec]

completely agree

[@jamesonandrews2608]

What gets me is the way he melds emotion that blurs the lines between some deeper meaning and something like love. Youre never really sure and I love it

[@radicallarry4244]

jason randall agree 100%

[@dumbosanchez4595]

rise against is asweome!! love them best rock band ever

[@tmacthewinner99]

This song should have 1 million views, I mean I've listened to it on here at least 2,000 times!

[@ImranZakhaev9]

It happened to my brother :'( he never left his room for days... we finally went in to check on him... his head was gone, and Rise Against was playing on repeat... RIP Klaus

[@patrickgrondines3254]

the screaming that Tim did at the end was not bad

[@TheShockz101]

+Nicholas D'Asti this was their 3rd studio album, it was one of their earliest his voice isn't different

[@cannabiscze]

+The Shockz IT IS.. if you dont believe, you have to watch performance from 2005 and now.

[@andyitliong4333]

Alright here's the album order. Rise Against, (self titled) Rev Per Min, Siren song, Sufferer, Appeal to Reason, Endgame, and Black Market

[@andyitliong4333]

+larry itliong the unraveling I'm sorry not self titled.

[@nikkib89]

When I saw them live years ago, it was an outdoor concert and it was soooo hot outside. When they started playing this song, it started sprinkling. Best memory ever.

[@yoIsaiah259]

I really cant live without rise against, they make me want to change the world make it a better place, be a better person the lyrics always are spot on with how i feel, I really cant live without them

[@amillionstories630]

Guess I came here quite late... 2020 anyone? ↓ ↓

2006, wow......

[@fallinangelsrevenge4]

one of my favorites by these guys...freakin kick ass

[@jamer15961]

beautiful entrance and an amazing song. rise against has always and will always be awesome.

[@nicholasdasti7563]

His voice is a lot more agressive in the earlier albums. Great song though.

[@hayleyz1703]

I think they had a different singer for the first couple albums. Good, but this guy is GREAT!

[@Lanval_de_Lai]

@@hayleyz1703 If it's not a joke: it's the same guy XD

[@hayleyz1703]

@@Lanval_de_Lai Oh really??! I don't really know I never actually checked it out myself, but back in the day when I first found Rise Against and fell in love someone told me that they used to have a different singer. But maybe I'm thinking of a different band? :)

[@Lanval_de_Lai]

@@hayleyz1703 Yes haha it's Tim McIlrath :) But it's true that his voice might have changed, he started with 20 years old and now it's a father of 40 years hehe. I think that I can understand better the first albums because I have more empathy with the younger band, but we will see when I get older hehe

[@hayleyz1703]

@@Lanval_de_Lai HAHAHA I didn't even take age into account! Totally makes sense :P And I agree with you about understanding the different albums, although I do still appreciate the music itself and I always enjoy their songs

[@AkulBhatt]

if i held my ground would you ask me to change...that line makes me so sad :(

[@AnimeShinigami13]

I can imagine the crew of the Normandy hurrying back to the ruins of the crucible at top speed trying to find out if Shepard survived when I hear this song. That and his/her fever dreams if he did would make an epic music video for this song.

[@blondedane08]

everyone type in generation lost by rise against!!! sickest song ever!!!

Anyone remember how hard this song was to find on KZbin mobile?

[@Vonkriegor]

man this song is ULTRA NICE man one of their best songes EFFAAAA

There's a two minute silence at the end of the song so you can recover from all of that awesomeness that just entered your ear.

There is no best song. My favorite changes with every one of their songs I listen to.♥

The guitar solo in this song is RA's best guitar solo. The blend with drums and bass is so amazing. Starts 2:20-2:43.

Every Album they have is amazing!!! I have Sufferer and the Witness, Appeal to Reason, and Siren Song of the Counter Culture... can't wait to get the rest!

i remember when i first heard rise against, i didnt like most of their songs, but now i have every song they done from revolutons per mintue, sufferer and the witness, siren songs of the country culture, appeal to reason, and soon to be endgame

In my opinion, this song and Life Less Frightening are two of Rise Against's best yet under-popular songs.

[@Gurkmassa]

Epicness! My all time favorite by them.

This was my favorite song in second grade, 6 years later, it's still my favorite. :) thanks Rise Against for the good years \m/

[@oregonduners]

Still hits hard.

[@giggsy152]

A: They aren't the usual comercialised band. They "go against the establishment" in a different way by promoting real messages through their songs. B: Genre is defined by what it sounds like..not if a band is commercialised at all or not.

[@Jvdg3m3nt]

I love at the end theres a few minutes to think about how awesome this song is

rise against are able to make me depressed and rock out at the same time. Enough said.
