The Amity Affliction - Stairway To Hell

[@jessholahan8968]

Amity have changed in their lyrics, screams and singing so much since this album. I will forever love this band for giving me the strength to keep my head up high and keep going.

[@willthethrill2078]

The memories...

[@redsaens2823]

it funny how they always sing about the ocean and now there lastest album: let the ocean take me

[@dntinker]

Red King ever seen the kid with the veins popping out and all red in the face meme? There's one where the caption is when you're The Amity Affliction and you haven't written a song about the ocean in 5 minutes.

[@timchang-nim2245]

such an underrated song~! Starting with the intro, that itself is a piece of art, it encompasses an amazing song.

[@GuigaVS]

Ahren Stringer ♥

[@alexandermartin9472]

Was literally! amazing knowing they played this live @ Unify Gathering 2018 and also Severance :) as always Ahren sounded Grrreat!!

[@rioterism]

Damn, the end of the song is simply outstanding - this breakdown with the violins and stuff - amazing!!!

[@danielworth5624]

So much emotion is this song, TAFs vocalist is fucking real.

[@nickrules2299]

Its amazing to hear the amity affliction back then and now. Gosh they have improved such a great band i love them so much

[@stephenjessop6058]

I personally think they improved in the wrong direction, this and young bloods were pretty different to other stuff around at the time from what I found, now the last two sound the same, just like blessthefalls last few albums :(

[@mr420quickscops2]

Definitely gone downhill from this album onward. Cleans got worse, Screams got less, Rhythm got less, lead guitar slowly disappeared, drums slowed and quieted. They'll never compare to how good they *used* to be.

[@kakalutschi8]

For so many years I held my breath for you Held under what became the ocean Struggling to find footing on what became the ocean floor And now, as I reflect on what became my foundation Who am I to say the grass was ever greener Where my own feet struck the earth? And that the fields, they seem much neater On my own side of the fence And who am I to question why you took the path you took? And who the fuck am I to open this closed book? But the pages just keep turning, turning And my pen just won't run dry But my eyes they won't stop burning And yet you still have no reply I guess that in a way It had to be like this And I guess that in a way I'm glad it turned out like it did Because I couldn't stand your sight if I ran into you tonight And if you died right now I just don't think I'd have too much to say tonight And who am I to say the grass was ever greener Where my own feet struck the earth? And that the fields, they seem much neater On my own side of the fence And who am I to question why you took the path you took? And who the fuck am I to open this closed book? But the pages just keep turning, turning If you hear this just forget it If you hear this just forget it... Oh! [Sample taken from Hot Rod:] "Beating me wouldn't mean anything now, I'm all through" "All I want is to earn your respect How am I meant to do that if you won't fight me?" "Maybe you shoulv'e thought of that Before you sucked at being a man your whole life" "Oh my god, I hate you so much I just wanna smash your face in" "Too late, I'm a dead man..."

[@nickbartlett5625]

Arguably my favorite amity song

[@justinc5151]

You can just feel the raw emotion and frustration in this song, I love it.

[@LIL_VENICE]

MY FAVORITE SONG ALL TIMES!

[@sebastianraerae]

i NEED TO HEAR MORE THIS ALBUM!

[@pelgarsomeone]

this is my favorite TAA song, no matter whatt I still love this song

[@ashlee0039]

Y isnt anyone in the comments talking about the fact that the ending conversation is literally the dialogue from the movie Hot Rod between Rod and his stepdad whose supposedly dying after he's diagnosed with cancer or whatever. Lol i always loved that shit so much

[@roboshuffler555]

hot rod is where the sample is from for anyone wondering

[@shaun7057]

I've been rocking with amity since youngbloods

[@dank_the_rabbit6782]

Wish there was even a SLIGHT chance that they'd play this in Newcastle when I see them next month 😪

[@romanagr]

I was looking for a mashup of Stairway to Heaven and Highway to Hell and got here... 😅

[@graceostrowski9171]

I just heard the m&e Affliction for the first time I had to play it twice I'm out of breath on my porch on a cold December morning at 10:30 actually 10:41 p.m. bouncing on my freaking porch

[@AdamBarkleyMusic]

They'll play this for sure :)

[@xxnezrynxx]

I just recently got into these guys.... and so far I love all their songs (well the ones i have heard) Are there any other bands I should check out?

[@werewiener]

probably "bring me the horizon" "asking alexandra" "we came as romans" but thats just me

[@davidarigho4936]

In hearts wake, northlane, hand of mercy, house vs hurricane. buried in Verona All Australian aswell. All amazing!

[@warriorthawitt9971]

Volumes, ERRA, I Killed The Prom Queen, Parkway Drive, A Day To Remember, Like Moths To Flames/Beartooth

[@laughingjackel8367]

+Treble Scratch (Solar Proximity) Bury Tomorrow is another good band as well

[@franchyze922]

Underoath too!

[@ausamzar7632]

sound like 80 🔥💯

[@shhadehsaleh6363]

The first part of the outro reminds me of the intro of If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once... You Should Get Out Of The Circus

[@worldeater1513]

We still here 🥁

[@TheZ0JX]

yay

[@raemagillam4369]

Gosh. This is beautiful 😻😻😻🤤🤤🤤

[@LMAmex]

I Fan 2012 ❤

[@nooangels7768]

Beating me wouldn't do anything now.. I'm all through.

[@kekkadakeda4281]

This gonna be a Highway to Heaven somewhere

[@assaasaaase1]

better than stairway to heaven LZ

[@360thezombies]

Fucking good music!

[@Dec3ased_CF]

Anyone else heard that line from the movie hotrod at the end

[@AboutForget]

[@seanbarnett3714]

band name sounds like a "big bang theory" episode name love the riffs - is there an instrumental?

[@bshelton7883]

2020

[@samcathey33]

Hot Rod

[@djspuddzz8116]

I remember reading the lyrics and seeing that "too late, I'm a dead man" was the closing line of the song and thinking that it must be so hard hitting. If Joel really wanted a hard hitting ending, he could have said that line himself and just have the song cut off. Damn, that would be dark.

[@CodyDTD]

DJ Spuddzz That would've been sick. I still love this ending though. They could have kept this ending but had like a 5 or 6 sec pause after he said it or something. 👍🏼

[@whocares1761]

i believe its a sample most likely from a movie

[@djspuddzz8116]

​@@whocares1761 Yeah, it is. But when I read "too late, I'm a dead man" in the lyrics I imagined Joel screaming those words with the song abruptly ending, which would have been dark as fuck, but I guess it's never how they intended to finish their album.

[@ashlee0039]

It is from a movie. Its from Hot Rod lmao @@whocares1761

[@ZanFurzi]

Fr

[@the23rdage]

But the pages just keep turning, turning...

[@chefraykwon69]

Holy fuck the ending is from hot rod hahahahah

[@GLu-tb1pb]

a bit extreme for my taste

[@7star7storm7]

G. Lu you will love their new stuff man

[@666ZSATAN]

amity aren't extreme dude

[@gothboiclikk]

Wah

[@TheJakubini]

STOP SPAMMING MY FEED

[@michaelray2118]

[@Junkysnake]

Just came up with a cool name of a song. KZbind it to see if it was taken. 😞 some shitty band has taken it already.

[@slitheredboyz]
