      You can feel the notes. When he sings in this one it touches your soul like a cry out from being so hurt. Then the music brings that side of emotion that is hate/anger to just bring it alive

    I saw their first ever show after Kyle passed away. Dave definitely hit the high notes and I did not expect him to. He can perform a fantastic live show.
    Now this song caught me off guard. It hits heavy emotionally and musically. It's just a solid track and Dave surprises me once again a year later with his vocals. Kyle would be proud of them.

I knew it was coming too because, come on, they're not gonna name a song that, and *not* have a callback to that line. It just broke me when it happened.

    Damn! Didn't knew Conor McGregor could sing!
    Seriously though, great song! I love that scene bands get over their soft phase and come back to metalcore. Well, those that do at least... *cough* AA/bmth *cough*...

      I mean, AA still had a few heavy hitters on the self titled, and still go hard with the classics live so
