Rise Against - House On Fire (Official Video)

[@cozza358]

Your music has been there for me throughout the entirety of my life, shaping me as I grow, teaching me and aiding me along the way. You, Rise Against, are a part of who I am. Thank-you.

[@inaridefucc8904]

jeez same here

[@patxifernandez5071]

Same here

[@muazqamar]

Same. They're the best

[@porkbandit1107]

Which I could say the same. Cuz I just started listening to this band like a month ago

[@ilcarnifex]

I was about to say the same before i saw your comment dude

[@Edmak3]

Man. Was going through some DEEP, DEEP heavy shit when this song came out. Over my failing relationship and being confused in what is right. Anchors and the ocean were are things-mine and my ex. Are relationship was so dysfunctional and unhealthy but we fought to stay together. I really really really felt “Am I your sail or your anchor? Am I the calm or the hurricane?” We both had been doing fucked up things to each other for so long but we loved each other in our own special, fucked up way. She was the love of my life. Even though she’s married and lives 1,400 miles away I still want the best for her and I hope she’s happy, safe & content. Even if it’s not with me. We were just always hurting each other. “How is it a thing?-that we just wanna hurt each other.?” We talked for the first time in over a year and I didn’t even recognize her voice or how she was acting. Miss ya MAP. 😢 Sorry for venting

[@diegochavezisntmanam]

A song about the struggles of being a parent and not being ready for it. Beautiful. Edit: Tim says this in a video explaining the meaning of a few RA songs. Its about his relationship with his now-adolescent daughter.

[@FullmoonEffects89]

Erick Veloz I was thinking it's about the rising of a conflict that turns to shit but still love keeps them together.

[@diegochavezisntmanam]

FullmoonEffects89 Theres a video where Tim explains the meaning of a few songs. He wrote House on Fire because his daughter is now an adolescent and hes struggling with the idea that he is now an authority figure, when he has been a punk singer bashing authority for a long time.

[@MidnaMistfire]

House on Fire was already my favourite song but when I heared him said that it just got a whole new meaning. Its really awesome.

[@jerrycobalt4145]

Erick Veloz I can’t believe I didn’t know he had a daughter??

[@darrenmarta808]

Jerry Cobalt He has two, Scarlett and Blythe. They appear on two DVD's, Rise Against Generation Lost/How We Survive and The Other F Word. The other F Word follows a bunch of Punk dad's and Generation Lost is a Rise Against DVD.

[@sparkentertainment8051]

I've been listening to this song for year, and every time I do, I just start ugly crying because of how close to home this hits. Thanks for being real, y'all.

[@FALslayer]

Rise Against is like that loyal friend you wished you had. The friend who shares the same emotional struggles with you and the one who's been there since you were born. Been a fan for a decade and will never not be a fan ❤️

[@renesimon5125]

I can feel it.. the Same here

[@neilsonnentagjr9211]

I think this is the most true comment I've ever seen I was a single father of a little girl her mom my xwife wasn't in her life at all never really even met her that she remembered until she was almost 7 years old I was there for her for everything and did everything for with little help when she was young when she got a little older my parents started helping me and when she was 12 years old I had to leave and because of circumstances had to go to Chicago for work and other reasons it hurt me so bad and still does to this day. My daughter is 17 years old now a beautiful amazing young lady and doing great and going to start her senior year, half of which will be for college credits. Sometimes the hardest decision is one that you don't want to make ,it makes you the saddest you could ever be but it's still the right decision.

[@Luffyrlfriend]

you know what surprised me the most,the fans, the audience i was in Amsterdam for a live show of rise against ,and i was really surprise how many fans there where all the fists in the air and jumping,,you guys make the show, thanks all. thanks rise against

[@hbf96]

I was there too!! it was a nice evening on the 12th of november they really kicked some ass, although I didn't like Tims voice it was fucked up for real but instrumental it was very good, best band ever

[@KevinGarcia-pv3lr]

The more I listen to this song and the more I watch the music video, the more I fall in love with it. What a beautiful song from an extremely talented band that deserve more attention.

[@davishimada1555]

I love this band! helped me through a lot and there is still more to come and I hope you'll stay with me for the ride, Rock on 🤘

[@DerBeyer]

[@jimh4459]

Been a fan for over a decade. These guys have gotten me through a lot and I've grown with em. Thank you, Rise Against.

[@spoolyanddanalixdnb]

This band will never die. I love how throughout all the years their sound has gotten better but hasn't strayed from there roots.

[@Sperminski]

You could not be farther from the truth.

[@Gokes93]

Tim's outlook on life & the world is truly a gift to said world

[@PaperRaines]

Well said

[@mesho_9681]

This is the one band still capable of making videos that make me cry. I remember when i firs heard hero of war, and saw the video, i was 13 at the time, i was crying throughout the video. This one! This one struck a chord so deep in me im bawling right now.... Wow.... Beatiful.... I really felt that. It came out of nowhere and hit me with a sucker punch. Rise Against can do no wrong

[@Cryogenius333]

Your kids are gonna play with fire. Don't revile them for this. They're going to fight you. There's gonna be growing pains, and they're going to burn you. And eventually they're going to burn themselves. Don't give up on them. Love your kids, people. Be there for them when they most need it.

[@CatfishYellow]

Some kids kill their parents. Kids create poverty and seperation. Many kids use their parents for selfish gains and never give back.

[@jerryricefan20]

The amount of symbolism they use in all their songs is amazing. Truly a genius group with wording and and reflecting on real life things through symbols

[@FreeFreyja-bc3bk]

I love this song so much and it has a lot of meaning for me. The first time I heard it I was in jail because I got in a fight with my mom and burned an abandoned house down cause I was angry at her. I feel like my mom could have written this song about me. I almost cried when I heard it the first time. I realized I needed to change and do better, stop doing drugs and drinking and stop going to jail. Been free for 2 months and sober for 22 months now. Have a great relationship with my mom and dad now.

[@k5v11n]

"Hold you like a hand grenade" always chill my spine. Cheers from Taiwan.

[@freshairkaboom8171]

Oh my god, this song reminds me so much of my relationship with my dad, my only guardian and the closest person to my heart throughout my life. He did everything to make me a good, independent and strong person, and we sometimes fought, at times traumatically so. Slamming doors, punching walls, biting, kicking, shouting, screaming. All of it. But in the end I get to call him on my cell phone and tell him I love him and that I'm happy that he's my father, and that's all that matters.

[@PaperRaines]

Biting? Like literally?

[@freshairkaboom8171]

@@PaperRaines A long time ago, yeah.

[@um1782]

*Lyrics* I can see the storms in her eyes now I'm falling overboard in the waves In over my head and she's a high tide That keeps pushing me away I thought that we would build this together But everything I touch just seems to break Am I your sail or your anchor? Am I the calm or the hurricane? I feel the ground start to shake I hear a voice shouting "No" But there is no fucking way I'd leave you So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh But is the soundtrack to our lives The bang of a slamming door What happens when we all start to feel like Nothing matters anymore Every day like a chambered round, a trigger pulled A hammer click, a breath we hold A world outside I can't control No matter what I do So I'll just hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh How is it a thing That we just wanna hurt each other I'm waiting out the rain 'Cause life is gonna rain forever Someday you will learn That all I ever did was for you And I would do it all again I would do it all again 'Til then I'll hold you like a hand grenade You touch me like a razor blade I wish there was some other way right now, oh oh Like a house on fire we're up in flames I'd burn here if that's what it takes To let you know I won't let go of you, oh oh Of you (oh oh) Of you (oh oh) Of you (oh oh) Of you

Rise against is one of those band that you can tell that they are getting better and improving. They dont have the I miss nor I like the new rise against, it a wow rise against just sounds more amazing in every new song. A lot of artist aren't unique like that.

[@tobiasuhly4868]

erst liken dann anschauen ^^ Rise Against, einfach eine der besten Bands die es gibt

[@achillesV]

When my wife and I had our first and only daughter, things got really rocky for awhile between us, business wasn’t doing to well. Everything was falling apart. And there were times I wanted to give up. (I’m telling you with with tears in my eye cuz I never said this before) I would play this song over and over again when I would pick up my daughter from daycare and tell a 2 years old that “this is our song”.. “To let you know I won’t let go of you” that line kills me every time. I would never leave my daughter no matter how hard it gets. I love you baby like you have no idea. This song couldn’t have come out a better time for me. Thank you RA. Thank you so much.

[@Ashh602]

It’s been two years but your story brought tears to my eyes. Your daughter is lucky to have such a caring father and I hope you and your family are well ♥️

[@NinjaTactiks]

Love how this song was basically about Tim dealing with his daughter growing up and how they get into confrontations with each other time to time like any other parent.

[@CJ_McK]

This was an unexpected and glorious!

[@TenaciousJoe24]

New rise against and breaking benjamin! What a good year already!

[@Churchy832]

gcvpip This album came out last year.

[@TenaciousJoe24]

Churchy832 oh true. I didn't even know they had a new album. At least its a new music video. I need to listen to it!

[@Churchy832]

gcvpip It's pretty good, I didn't like it the first time I listened to it. but then on a second listen it was somehow amazing, I find Rise Against is usually like that for me

[@zacharyrizzo3952]

Shinedown and Red Sun Rising

[@montanacaleb]

And a new Muse album on the way with a new Album from Mike Shinoda

[@gwgaming7123]

This video just brought me to tears. Im a long time RA fan, and a new father. I love that girl more deeply than I can fathom and this beautifully made video just broke me down. I would do anything for her, regardless the cost. Im not the crying sort, but dammit this got me. Thanks as always Rise Against you guys are amazing!

[@Tactavious]

I could listen to these guys sing/play literally anything and enjoy it.

[@itsnotclever]

This is the one song from Rise Against, that always makes me tear up. Morseo with the video. It's a bond I always wanted with my parents.

[@AlejandroSanchez-cm5is]

One of my closest friends was at the verge of suicide due to how his family treated him. I told him that everything would be better but he couldn’t listen me due to his depression, he would only listen through music so I told him to listen make it stop and he loved it. Right now he is alright and now we share the same love for the same band!!! THANKS RISE AGAINST

[@Louishellll]

What a clip😳 and what a song... still in love with this fuckin' kickass song

[@pbateman6775]

When youj have grown up with a band its so nice to see them still making varied and interesting music. These guys do it for the love of what they do, you can tell that

[@springsoldier6317]

I remember when this was new and I heard it on the radio, jeez, three years felt like a few months I swear

[@tabithaguzman4521]

Nothing like finding someone, that accepts ur crazy, knows the beast u can be, and still stays by ur side, and helps u get thru the storms, even if the war is against yourself ....

time goes by, im getting old , but , guys, your music is the same as it was all the time, as it was when i first heard your songs, 12 years ago. and that's f***ing awesome. please, don't ever change. i just love you guys. thank you for all your music!

[@consta7079]

Die Band ist einfach unbeschreiblich geil.. 🔥

[@NS-gy9uv]

Amazing to watch the video after hearing the story behind the song and it's explanation. Proud to call myself a fan!

[@chrissiwit]

care to share the story behind the song? I've never heard it!

[@danielgimber9005]

this is what i could find: “When you hear it you might hear a kind of classic love-and-loss-like love song…but the song actually is about becoming a parent,” explained singer Tim McIlrath on the “2 Hours With Matt Pinfield” podcast. “I like to think I have the world figured out, once you throw a 13-year-old daughter your way you realize, I have nothing figured out. And this is an incredible challenge that’s at the same time worth it.”

[@williamalvarado1419]

Still rising above, you guys keep my faith alive. Thank you

[@brittanynovello5027]

Knowing this song is about being a parent gives me all the feels. The most challenging but the most awarding thing to ever be

[@YangyProductionsMain]

I love this video and how the entire thing is practically a metaphor. Rise Against are so good at doing things subtly

[@guitarislife4088]

thank you RA for everything

[@shannonsmith2722]

You are the Alpha and Omega. 'Like the Angel' was my love's first song to me almost 15 years ago and this song was the last.

Like the Angel was the anthem of my first real heartbreak. Still wounds me now.

Everything changed.. when the child that you Take as yours, calls you by your forname after 6 years going through everything

[@xed19]

It's 2022 now, and I'm 19 years old right now. Thanks to my father this song will always keep a special place in my heart. When I was a little kid his intentions were to work far from home, so that we could gain enough money to mantein our family, but since he's the most special person in my life, it was so hard for me. I remember him arguing so hard with my mother, a lot of times. But in the end we both grew up, and I was finally able to cuddle him again. I like to think of this song as our main theme :)

[@AlexBell69]

It is so beautifull music, lyric and video... I have a small daughter and it makes me cry again and again. You almost miss her and try to fix it, but it makes hurt both.

[@miserablemochi5094]

It feels like I haven't been rocking to RA for that long and in comparison to others it's true. But I can really and truly say that they have kept me positive, kept me in good spirits and definitely helped me through some struggles. And for that I'm thankful, I have no idea idea who I'd be if hadn't stumbled across them on a random station four years ago. Rock on.

[@luisferbeltran3355]

Holy smokes, this nearly went under my radar but this song is KILLING IT!

[@SteadyTokai]

To those who don't feel it like such: Take this as a lesson that sometimes your father will go through hell to keep you safe. No matter how estranged you two might be, no matter how long it's been. Love is a powerful tool. Even if nowadays it isn't something that all that common. I know not everyone can have the same story as this but it's a good allegory for what a father should be, no matter the relationship.
