This is clearly a walmart. Look how noone is at the registers
When I was young, songs like this one would grab my attention because of the sound. After growing up and learning english, I'm amazed by how meaningful are the lyrics of hard rock and metal from 2000 and 2010's. Sometimes it hit like a truck.
Right in two by tool. The animation one makes it 100x better.
YES!!! This is it
Metal is life. And many other sub genres 😎
Props to you for learning a new language, and improving your music experience
@@cyberwarlord7363 Tool is just godly. I'll never forget the day I heard Pneuma and got into them.
They have such an ability to write such powerful songs that after all these years, they still give me goosebumps.
AltFreak25 it's mind-boggling how prescient this song in particular is. But Rise Against has seemed so forward thinking for almost my whole adult life. I'm glad people are still listening to what they were saying before what is now happening. It makes me hopeful
I love these guys. They write amazing music, but they clearly have a social conscience too. If Tim was a Brit I'd nominate him to be our next Prime Minister :)
It'ss almost like it was predictive programming or foreshadowing a future events.
But we know how it goes; the same people that run Hollywood can see into the future with unworldly source, and they can't help but too slowly force-fed you or feed you messages that will slowly condition you in the future of what will happen next.
Just like how 9/11 was predicted by so much Hollywood movies.
Same here
Me same
Don't hold me up now!
I can stand my own ground!
I don't need your help now!
You will let me down, down, down!
*****
So open your eyes child,
Let's be on our way!
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way!
Alice Sacchi Keep quiet no longer,
We'll sing through the day,
Of the lives that we've lost,
And the lives we've reclaimed...
GO!
+Rob „CaliRobbiecation“ Hazel You won't* let me down, down, down!
+svegaldde Its "will" not "won't" ^^
pXmTS nope that's the point.
This song means alot to me because me and my family are actual imigrants who had to flee our home country. We were actual refugees in the literal sense and had to flee twice because the first time was toclose to home and was torisky to stay in the second country. This song had a special place in my heart ever sinse i first heard it.
Someone shot at me and stabbed me...... I cant go to some safe haven.......
No offense. Welcome to the west welcome to hell.
@@holeindanssock156 Sorry to hear that. I was threatened at knife point at one time as a kid here at school. luckely where i live is probabably more tame than youre place, its infinitely better than Iran where my father was put in jail where they whipped and tortured him and killed his frined for years because of political reasons id rather not talk about.
@@holeindanssock156 Think of it this way tho the fact that you were shot and stabbed and yet survived that says something about the west dont you think? Nowhere is perfect realy. If you think about it if youre the wrong person from for example, wrong etnicity like say a muslim uyghur in China thats hell to. Enywhere and everywhere can be hell.
Hope you're doing well kind stranger :)
I hope things are better for you now.
“We’ve been pulling out the nails that hold up everything you’ve known” is one of the most beautiful, revolutionary threats I’ve heard in my modest life.
are some of those nails extremely important? maybe not pulled out? maybe some should be replaced with better nails for better portraits? maybe portraits need changing?
@@willywill3570 Liberal
@@liampezzano for real. MLK was so right
The band is hyper left wing. I promise we really need the nails they are threatening to pull out.
@@imperius88 that is your assessment, I think your judgement is flawed. I think a critical look at institutions is reasonable. I think overhauling most of them is necessary. I am assuming you are also USA. Our social programs are starved and our police programs are fat. If I had to make a judgement call, I’d say this band was conservative in their requests.
The meaning of this song only gets stronger over time.

i think you dont really got the meaning of ths Video bro ...
It might have a dceeper meaning, but come on, be a human, have a sense of humor. Otherwise you'd have to whine at every comment under this vid.
@@TheRealDrae the meaning on the song is about the United States using immagrants for sweatshops and using their hope for a better life in the U.S. for cheap food trading
I feel this mans anger towards banana's
The anger, the passion, the heart. One of the best bands of the century.
14 years later still an absolute banger.

that's one long Mic chord
Haha true
It really is.
I was just thinking the same ;D

It's a Bluetooth mic lol
Lol, 😂
It's scary how songs like this only ring truer than ever now. Things haven't changed and are getting worse. Just don't let that make you lose sight of hope and change. Let that fact make you fight harder.
'Things' as in?
how are things worse besides the US economy failing with inflation through the roof? we got 100 billion for ukraine but cant put a dollar into the south and central american countries that our immigrants are running from.
All things constantly change. The concepts of worse and better are not to be confused with reality. They're just incomplete abstractions of reality, observed through a subjectively colored lense. Equanimity is key. Why fight, if you can as well dance...

I cannot count how many times this chorus gave me strength when I needed it. Rise Against - one of the all time greats
Its a real punch when you switch your pedals😉
Rise against carried me trough The childhood to adulthood
In my case it gave me strength quite literally, I actually came across it during a bench, was trying a friends playlist, and now im obsessed with the band.
The part of this song that has helped me so many times "So open your eyes, child, let's be on our way, broken windows and ashes are guiding the way" so powerful!
Me to
This song is so incredible. I can't believe that it came out over 10 years ago and yet it is more relevant now than it was then. I wish music could return to being this good.
Cannon-Graham Music Same I’m 15 and I’m weird for liking this instead of post malone and other shit like that but rise against are so good and I hate hiding the fact I listen to them because everyone assumes they’re another emo “suicide is good” band
@@insertnamehere6960 Yeah man, I hear ya. Well, on the internet you are never alone. haha there are lots of us who still like this kind of music. Just listen to what you like. That's what I use to do when I was your age. Back when I was in junior high and high school (2002-2007) I mostly listened to 80's glam rock and 80's metal bands.
Cannon-Graham Music Thanks
Me to man me fucking too. Rap isnt music and it will never be

I showed my best friend in Gaza this song, she said she had never felt so heard and seen, she was blown away this was released when she was 1.
17 years later and the message still runs clear
ALL EYES ON RAFAH
Glass the juice
I'll take shit that didn't happen for 500 bob
Man stop fucking lying
Do people really go on the internet and just tell lies?
Also: you don't really give a shit, you're just pretending to care now because it's trendy. I've hated Israel since 2002.
Do you want a medal of honour for that opinion?
Also: Do you really care about the isreal/gaza conflict?
I don't hate people, just goverments. They don't care about all theyr peasants suffering in war and terror. Even if you live in acountry without all of that, do you really trust them? Corruption is everywhere. Who's to blaim? We all thrive to survive, but thats what they don't want. Tolet you think ahead. They're just spreading hate to distract from them.
35 year old me looking back at the teen that use to rock this....man time flew i wish i could talk to that kid! Id tell him you're gonna make it, all the things you have been dreaming of are gonna work out, your heart is gonna get broken but the most beautiful and amazing woman ever is gonna put everything broken back together and give you 4 of the most amaxing gifts ever.
When I was a teen I thought this was just an edgy teen song.
I was wrong.

I'm forty-six years old, and between this and "Satellite", Rise Against made a new fan today.
Better late than never right? These guys have a lot of amazing songs.
You should listen to savior
45. And been on their stuff...but yeah.
Satellite is my fav!!!!
Even guys in 30s they still would've listen to rise against including new albums too
All of this is (still) so fucking raw and current right now
this song is a over a decade old and it gets more relevant every year. You guys wrote a timeless song, with depth. This is art! and sincerely I cant handle this video, it makes me angry/sad all at once.
except for all of the american flags in the video. im not sure why the united states is to blame for the chinese communist governments slave labor camps. they have the 2nd largest economy in the world with billions flowing through every pore to US companies. why are they not the bad guy here but joe shmoe who wants to buy a TV is?
Still listening in 2020 like it just came out
Jiat found it so vibe with me
That why I'm here - some space wizard
Rise against has only become more relevant as the middle class has continued to shrink. Same with rage against the machine. Every year their music becomes more prophetic than it was when it was written.
I just find this song 🙂
damn i feel old
that mic cable must be really long..

What about the African person cable that's ridiculously long

Guitar Hero 3 bonus song list anyone?
long double
or triple notes
+WTFGeorge OMG WTFGOERGE IM SUCH A HUGE FAN!!!!
+mmadiscussions Yeah ;)
+mmadiscussions Funny story time! I bought Guitar Hero 3 in 2011 and played every song on bonus list only once. I "first heard this song", pathetically, couldn't remember I played it on Guitar Hero and still have the game, last year. Last month we moved and I decided to play every song on all my Guitar Hero games for a week straight. When I heard this song Guitar Hero I did a mega facepalm! I felt sooooo stupid for not playing one of my favorite songs!!! >_
+mmadiscussions Aye Aye. My first 100% on hard.
Rise Against was a huge turning point for me and one of the main catalysts of my political awakening and formation of my own views separate from what adults around me told me was right. I'm grateful for that. Siren Song of the Counter Culture and Sufferer and the Witness were essential albums.
what is wrong their early albums like Revolutions per Minute
Honestly, I used to listen to them when I was younger, thinking how they were so correct in their political views, but then I grew up and seen things, lived through things, got more wise. I still absolutely love the band and listen to it after all these years, I just don't find them to be correct on many things as far as politics go. Still, gonna scream every lyric and play every chord of their songs I can play - no issue, love them
Listening to this in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya…almost 20 years and nothing has changed
but can he play this song expert on guitar hero 3??
I can. Xd
Yeah, I can do it! 😊🎸🎧🎤🎼
ApocalypseBoy that’s where Ik it from lol
But can you beat Dark Souls with a Guitar Hero controller?
I can play it in a real guitar :)
The beginning of this song is so fucking solid. The rest of the song is great I just wanted to emphasize that the begining (with that guitar riff and the vocals) is perhaps the greatest I've heard on a song......like ever
The starting riff goes almost through the whole song though haha.
TheTricker96 He's referring to the emotional build up the riff creates. Even though it's repeated, the drumming intensity takes away from it (which is not bad at all, it's how music should be).
Rise Against - Savior, first 20 secs has, for me the same idea
+Alejandro Aguilar You know fuck all about musical theory lol....
+Alejandro Aguilar Dead Can't Testify, by Billy Talent. Prefer that... This is meh, not that amazing
Reading these comments makes me realize that 90% missed what this songs actually about.
Consumerism? Waste? Capitalism?
@@semekiizuio it's called "prayer of the refugee"
Even though this song is about sweatshop labor this song still reminds me of stagnant town that I am from with no room to grow or be something more than a sweatshop laborer!
Most minimum wage jobs are basically modern sweat shoes, employers refuse to hire enough workers so they can guilt trip the ones they have into doing more and more work, then they complain like no one wants to work.
(Also the song is mainly about refuges but also uses sweat shopes in the imagery)
I'm sorry, sir, but the store is closed.
**smashes every product in the store**
I love how I completely forget about this comment and come back to see it has forty likes.

Sorry if what you just said was a joke and I was too dumb to realize you were joking. xD
Nah not a joke, just a 'lil correction :D
My English teacher showed this to our class 1,5 years back. This was the song that got me into Rise Against.
I’m 11 years old and umm my teacher loves rise against and we play it in class all the time so now I listen to it at home as well while I sleep it’s kinda calming
Your teacher is amazing
I showed this to my middle-school students aswell, yet most of them didnt like it because its too "loud and aggresive" to them... And they didnt get the jist of it...Well more for me I guess 😁
You had an awesome english teacher
it's fucked teachers get paid so poorly to shout out to that teacher!
I’ve listened to this song for years and now I just understand what this means. I currently work with Vietnamese refugees and this hits my American heart in much more deeper way than it ever had before.
Well this song has new meaning this week.
It was the same meaning the whole time :c
After seeing all the comments talk about the meaning of this song, this song is gonna hit much different the next time I play Guitar Hero 3…

And here I am, very close to the end of 2022 listening to this song I used to love as an edgy teenager. Now I cant help but thinking how powerful the lyrics actually are, and how they are more relevant than ever.
There seems to be a global trend that the general population is losing most of their economic power, while the big corporations are getting the biggest profits ever in recorded history and are getting less and less regulated by the year.
If this trend does not stop, its just a matter of time until all of us become the refugees of capitalsm, and if that happens, ill gladly sing this prayer and revolt.
it's actually quite the opposite..an unprecedented number of poeple have been getting above the poverty line and moving up the socieconomic ladder one rung at a time. There is still plenty of work left to do but mankind will eventually get there. As for the wealthy expanding their scope of influence...Internet will take care of that in due time, corruption will be wiped out thanks to Internet.
No such fucking thing as refugees of capitalism, get it right dude, refugees of oligarchy and fraud/political scams/bribes. capitalism is not the issue here, bad people are.
And that global trend? theres a global trend to Be fucking lazy and play games all day. Wealth is not a static force. Its generated buy people who work.
@@jacoboribilik3253 not in America, its the opposite
One of the worst catastrophes of capitalism is climate change. People from FFF already understand that in its consequence, one has to abolish capitalism. Those in power will eventually either have to transform capitalism to its final stage of fascism, or be overthrown by international unions of people. Maybe FFF and climate mass protests around the world are the uprising we need.
As an indigenous from Canada that left the reserve. This song fucking hurts. But is empowering.
We shouldn’t be forced to live in the reserves like they try to. Life outside, they make hard for you, half-brother. But we can’t succumb to their influence in either place.
@@commanderfoxtrot I can stand my own ground. I don't need anyone. Regardless of living in urban areas. That's the point .
@@wendellharper2113 listen to Nowhere Generation by Rise Against. It’s excruciatingly empowering. Rise Against have always been allies and activists and I find a lot of comfort and empowerment in their music. I have since I was a child. My experience is different than yours, but I am a child of both American indigenous and European pagan ancestry. I’ve definitely lived life as outsider.

who here thinks that rise against should be inducted into the rock and roll hall fame as soon as their eligible
Fuck yeah
YES
They're*
They're not eligible until 2026
They really should. I've seen hundreds of bands live, even bands that I enjoy much more than Rise Against, but I've never seen a band that sounds so alike their recorded work. It's seriously identical to how they actually sound, and neither have I ever seen a band put on such a good show. I will never forget the experience I had seeing them live. It was transcendent, to say the least.
This songs has 13 years. Damn , time flys
Tell me about it.....
Yet it’s relevance has only grown

Warm yourself by the fire, son
And the morning will come soon
I’ll tell you stories of a better time
In a place that we once knew
Before we packed our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust
We had a place that we could call home
And a life no one could touch
[Chorus]
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Down!
[Verse 2]
We are the angry and the desperate
The hungry and the cold
We are the ones who kept quiet
And always did what we were told
But we’ve been sweating
While you slept so calm in the safety of your home
We’ve been pulling out the nails
That hold up everything you’ve known
[Chorus]
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
[Bridge]
So open your eyes, child
Let’s be on our way
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way
Keep quiet no longer
We’ll sing through the day
Of the lives that we’ve lost
And the lives we’ve reclaimed
Go!
[Chorus]
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Don’t hold me up now
I can stand my own ground
I don’t need your help now
You will let me down, down, down!
Down!
[Outro]
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up!
(I don’t need your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t let me down, down, down, down, down!
Shouldn't there be "You WON'T let me down"? Or did I just hear it incorrectly?

No! No! No!
Don't hold me up!
(I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)

I feel bad for Brandon, the drums leave him stationary so he cant roam the store with everyone else :(
Drums on wheels?
@@ShogunKintaro agree
then he will only get charged with making noise while the others get charged for both
I can’t believe I didn’t find this band until recently. This chorus has helped give me strength I needed in the last little while
I remember being in grade 8 when this song just came out and my teacher / basketball coach playing this in the car as he drove us to away games.. I was just a black kid from the suburbs and he was a new teacher fresh out of school, those are memories I’ll never forget. R.I.P. Mr. H
This band has earned my respect!
Jibraeel Karim can I sub to you?
Err, yeah I guess. I'll sub to you too!
Jibraeel Karim deal!
Jibraeel Karim ok that should do it, 20th subbed!
Jibraeel Karim it only took you till 2017, fuckkkkk
This is the "classics" of our era, this song has given so many people strength to keep fighting every day, I can't wait to look back on this song 50 years from now and be overwhelmed by the memories I have around this song.
I remember that there was a year when my playlist was only full of Rise Against music.
I've decided long ago; This was one of the hidden songs I have to help when I'm frustrated with the world, and need a pick me up.
Does anyone else play air guitar to this song as well, or is it just me?
While Recording the musicvideo: "Shit,the cable is to short. Guys we need a longer one"
This comment literally made my day XD
I'm sure it has to get tangled somewhere too XD
why the hell would u need to plug in the cable
And still eating flesh for 3$ per kg...awesome!
Did they have wireless mics in 2006? lol majority of music videos are lip syncing to the studio recording so I am imagining the singer running through the aisles with a mic with a detached cable slithering through the aisles lol.
Damn. As an immigrant, I'm thankful for everything my parents sacrificed to give me and my sibling a better life. Hits hard when you think that could have been you...
what about the country you live in?
Its a refugee not an immigrant. 2 very different people
@@dylandecker6270 They are used rather interchangeably a lot of the time. Nonetheless both groups of people are important and shouldn't be suppressed.
What is this song about?
@@LunaDevaKitty thats like saying cat and dog are used interchangeably to describe a Siberian husky.
This song is still better than a lot of the newer music that comes out today
This song is soo good that gives me goosebumps.
✔
When it gets going
You can feel the menssage louder and clearer than ever... This song still Rocks🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Rise Against is the fucking soundtrack to 2020.
This video is very powerful... please listen and watch several times if you want to
Sometimes I think, "why did I become and leftist" and then I remember I just listened to this on repeat as a kid.
It's crazy seeing punk/grunge/etc rock folk coming out of this era and ending up conservative. Ted Cruise's favorite band is Rage. Nonsense.
Ya idk why there's so many right wings here 😬 maybe they'll learn something?
This song has so much symbolism in it. Good job 👍
you fucking idiot
this has been a reality for the past century's
Well hope the past 5 years since you commented have treated you well 😂
The chorus of this song makes me want to trash a walmart. 10/109
damnnn... BURN!!!
;-))
yeperoo
everyone knows walmart is trash so u won't be making a difference
This is one of the best comments ive seen xD
Still by far one of the best bands I have ever seen live 🙌 so much energy their stage performance is incredible
I discovered this song through a One Piece AMV - 'This is One Piece'. Highly recommend for any OP fan, it goes hard.
Me too, one of the bests amv that we have in history
I always felt identified with this song from the point of view of my family starting to lose everything (job, house, and even the very family), and myself as a teenager having to fight harder than the rest to achieve anything I wanted. Then now I'm also feeling identified but from a political standpoint, looking at the reality of my falling country (Argentina), it's crisis, and how the governments show themselves as "holding us up", but in reality they are just burying us further down. And if the course of things keep its path, the unevitable runaway into exile. Feels like this is the very song that fits my life. But I'm no fool though, I know I'm still lucky and I'm neither the hungry or the cold. I'm just stuck held down, further down each day but still have the chance to fight against it. Sadly there are people, the people for whom the song is really about, that are held way further down than me and can only fight for survival. For those out there, my hopes for you to have the strength to hold your ground, and mainly the strength to still get yourselves a proper education while fighting starvation, cause that's the very tool that can make you really strike back out of misery. No one can fight for us, they'll just let us down. We have to be the ones to stand our own grounds.
Lyrically, The Sufferer and the Witness was their best album.
Savior? That song makes me cry
sean dye Savior was on ATR
Sean Kauder Sufferer and the Witness and Siren Song of the Counter-Culture are my two favorite Rise Against album
The sufferer and the witness is so fucking well balanced... has raw emotions, has sadness, has hope. Has some killer riffs and was damn fresh when it came out, hands down, the best work they have atm
Sufferer and the Witness is great, but Siren Song was my first full album and Endgame has to be my favorite. I have a quote from Architects as my senior quote.
that guitar hook got me hooked
means so much more in 2024 than it did back then!! what a time to be alive!!
This is so good but you must hear “Seen/Unseen” or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🎧🎸
Dear Rise Against... you guys were my favorite band in my teenage years.
Ten years later, you still are. ♥
this vid would make a good promo for the fair trade foundation.
Hmm thats a really good idea. I wonder why they put fair trade at the end. Seems like a coincidence if you ask me...
And this is the soundtrack of our lives! I will rise against!!!!!!
When I first heard this song, I misheard the "I can stand my own ground" line as "I can steal my own crown."
Honestly, I think I prefer it like that.
Oh, I LOVE when that happens!
Mis-hearing turns into a lyrics just as good, sometimes better!
This song brought literal tears to my eyes once I figured out what it was about.
It's such a beautiful song
So are you going to do something about it or just cry and feel better? Those people are still working in sweatshops, you know.
yeah Power to The People are you gonna save those people like selohcin is doing?
yeah, same here...
Ive been playing this on repeat and every single time I cried
I wanna go through Walmart and sing this song with my guitar. :'(
Just do it :D
Hahaha!!!
***** XD
HELL YEAH MUST SMASH EVERYTHING
Hay tell witch one and I'll join u with my bass or another guitar or drums lol
