Rise Against - The Violence (Official Lyric Video)

[@ScottSlooper]

I'm 53. I stopped listening to music in 1991 when I graduated from college and started working 60-80 hours a week. My daughter and my buddy recently talked me into getting a Spotify Family subscription, and I am in the process of rediscovering the music I listened to when I was young, and discovering all the music I missed in the last several decades. My new favorite band is RISE AGAINST! They're awesome. I haven't heard a single song from them that doesn't make me want to jump up and down and tear down the walls. LOVE IT.

[@johnlombardo7816]

check out old skool nerd on youtube,. he basically did the same thing, and now does reactions to music of all types,.. really down to earth guy, fun to listen to, and helps you discover more music you never thought you needed! enjoy your journey!

[@nandu4998]

Kudos to you mate, keep it up. One is never too old to like good music. Rock on🤘

i'm 46 and listen to Punkrock since 1986, Bad Religion, NOFX, Adolescents, Youth of Today... etc... you've lost so much good Music listen to.

[@luigiacosta6816]

Fuck yes! That is the feeling brother! Keep on rocking!

[@shonya2475]

same here but I'm not even 30 yet. heard this on a car passing by and remembered. now Im listening to music on KZbin. lol I can't believe how old some of the songs are now. made me realize some stuff.

[@powerart1]

Nice to see this band's still got it.

[@adupswillbeback3390]

better than ever before imo

[@honk9643]

Rise Against survived the music transition (I don't like much new music.)

[@jessegreene-yv9uh]

[@chrisvalle8967]

I'm 60 years old and have been listening/enjoying R&R for 50 years. I thought that I have heard almost everything. This is a remarkable song, video, and message. This band/song rocks! I listen to it a dozen times in a row and never get tired of it. I have sent it to multiple friends with the instruction...sit down, put on a seat belt, and try to stay still listening to it.

[@arogel1999]

I remember listening to this band around middle school when I was an edgy teen trying to fit in. Now I'm a senior in highschool​, about to go to college and I still love their music as much as when I started listening to them. I love the message they portray in every one of their songs and I never get sick of listening to them over and over. A truly incredible band.

[@GrampsGaming91]

I was in sixth grade playing Tony Hawk's Underground. Heard, Like the Angel and I've been on board ever since. That was 13 years ago. They were my first favorite band and still in my top 5 today. Just great lyrics and music all around.

[@d00mscyth3]

I'll go you one better. I first started getting down to Rise Against back when Revolutions Per Minute came out - I was where you are now at that point, the later years of highschool. I'm now almost thirty and still love this band more than when I first started cranking them.

[@metalpunkbeast666]

Discovered them trough guitar hero, re-education, hooked since then really love the message in their songs

[@canadiangopher4443]

i've been listening to them since 2001 when they relesed The Unravelling, I'm 35 now and still listening to them, some bands are just great like that. Another good one is Bad Religion check them out if you haven't already.

[@cocobarbarian1510]

I would like to take this time to appreciate this group for being one of the few bands from my childhood that hasn't tried to change their sound to appeal to a mainstream audience. RISE AGAINST IS THE BEST!

[@shawnaldrich7868]

Im a 58 year old rocker.Rise Against actually makes me feel like im 20,this is heart attack music,what a fooking way to go

Can we all appreciate how the lyrics are so well written? Am I the only one who wants to read a book written by Tim? The lyrics are just pure and hardcore poetry, I wish I could write like Tim.

[@Aaron-zu3xn]

you take more time to think about what you're writing when someone is trying to censor it,you pick your words more carefully,several songs and videos(re-education through labor for example the video was banned for showing them planting bombs in the city while they ride around on their bikes) had to be censored to be shown to the public

[@FaithfulFumoFan23]

When it comes to this band the songwriting has always been on point.

[@TheCivildecay]

Rise against inspired me to become a better person

[@05Matz]

I wish this album hadn't remained so relevant as the ripples spread around the world, beautiful as it is. Here in small-town Alberta, Canada, in the tail end of 2023, and even from my isolated corner, the world keeps getting scarier. I keep trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do to stop it, but it seems, locally and abroad, the people of the world have simply gone mad -- or maybe they've reverted to what they were all along. An outpouring of rage, hatred, and greedy fear and zero-sum thinking around the world, burning the future of our children. Is this just what humans are? Is it pointless to aspire to a better world? But I listen to this music to remind me that we have to try anyways. Too much rides on us to give in to despair.

[@karlazirbes4214]

Sometimes you hear words and they have no impact because you aren't ready to hear them. Today I am ready. Thank you, Rise Against.

[@johnlombardo7816]

wow, well said, the first half of my life i enjoyed music.. that was it, base level cool stuff., the last 5 years or so, I experience music, so much better now! but there is a time and place for each, as long as you dont box yourself into one sound, one genre, one... you will get an experience out of everything you listen to, watch, do in life.. let it happen!!❤

[@andrewsnyder1656]

Thank you, Rise Against, for your music. I have yet to find another band able to resonate with me like you do, or provide such meaningful lyrics calling for a change as you guys do time and time again. From the very bottom of my heart- thank you. We need more bands like you.

[@Francescodem91]

This song speaks to every piece of human nature that people ignore. Rise Against is a voice that everyone needs to listen to.

[@algypan]

I love how they have stayed true to their style of music. Even this new song makes me reminisce of their earliest stuff. Cant wait for the album.

[@deanboshoff6849]

This is why Rise Against is the best band of all time. Constant reinvention. Brilliant song.

[@Ikhsanratdith]

26 February 2022, i just realized that this song finally fits so well with the current War between Ukraine VS Russia Especially when the lyrics talks about "the bombs are getting closer everyday “that could never happen here” we used to say have these wars come to our doorstep? has this moment finally come?"

[@MegTheWarpsmith]

there is so much power is this verse we’re talking in our sleep and sleeping through our lives we dream of the places where we never die we step from the shadows and into the light

[@2stage90]

I don't listen to much rock anymore. Grew up thru the 90's grunge stuff and kind of lost the edge, but when these guys come out with a album I always enjoy them. Thanks guys, I'm too old to be trendy, just give me some good riffs and song writing and I'm happy. Nice job!

I remember being in middle school and listening to Rise Against and loving them back in 2011, I remember listening to their albums that they released during 2011. Fast forward to now I am a senior in high school and i’m still loving Rise Against this band had such a big impact on me!!

[@misteralias2850]

No, not a dream. Violence comes and subsides. People just need the perspective that drives the mindset for a peaceful resolution. "How can I/we fix this" versus "this is too big a problem." People lose sight at times, but they will come back around. As people we haven't achieved all we have by not doing so. Great video!

[@stefanpaun641]

feels good when one of your favorite bands sounds just as it sounded 10 years ago and nothing changed. thank you Rise Against

Dancing on the crumbling precipice The rocks are coming loose just at the edge Are we laughing? Are we crying? Are we drowning? Are we dead? Or was it all a dream? The bombs are getting closer everyday 'That can never happen here' we used to say Have these wars come to our doorstep? Has this moment finally come? Or was it all a dream? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? To become something greater, than the violence in our nature? Are we not good, good enough or is it all a dream? To a predetermined fate, are we condemned? Or maybe we're a book without an end? We're not stories, we're not actors We're awake and in control And this is not a dream So can we break this mold? And set in motion something new Forgetting what we know An evolution overdue Fight the current Pull the ripcord Get away! Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? To become something greater, than the violence in our nature? Are we not good, good enough? We'll travel back to what we take We need a storm, let's pray for rain now To wash these roads away Let's get off track and wander far Same roads reducing destinations Following nothing but your heart We're talking in our sleep And sleeping through our lives We dream of the places where we never die We step from our shadows And into the light Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? To become something greater, than the violence in our nature? Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough? Are we not good, good enough? Or was it all a dream?

We can’t keep living like this, under them.
