    It's their own song, the lyrics by Myles were inspired by a very close friend of his who passed away tragically. It's also known to have one of the best guitar solos every written, played by both Myles and Mark together. It's an astonishingly great song.

    This song always reminds me of my daughter who passed 2 days after she was born.
    "Ascend, may you find no resistance
    Know that you made such a difference
    And all you leave behind will live to the end
    The cycle of suffering goes on
    But the memories of you stay strong
    Someday I too will fly and find you again"

    People seem to sometimes forget what a good guitarist Myles is, and thats on top of his "Ridonculous" vocals lol. This is one of their best songs IMHO and this performance and the one from Wembley are both ridiculously good. Have you checked out any of their heavier stuff like "Addicted to Pain" yet? Their performance of that song from the same Royal Albert Hall concert is great if you have a chance to check it out. Also for something completely different, Mark Tremonti has an album he did for charity of Frank Sinatra songs that is really good and gives you a whole new respect for his vocal talents. Thanx for reacting to this awesome live performance, keep it up lol!

      I don’t know ur age or favorite era of rock music (if u like rock at all?). But Im in my late 50’s and previously thought great melodic hard rock died by the mid / late 90’s. I discovered AlterBridge only about 7 or so years ago by accident. I heard Myles Kennedy’s vocals with Slash’s project and decided to look up where that awesome singer came from! Found Alterbridge and haven’t looked back since! By far my favourite band now - and they simply don’t make bad music! Combination of classic rock vibes with modern metal flourishes. Enjoy the rabbit hole as I did if you decide to explore more of this great band! 👍🎸😎

    Highly recommend you check out some of Myles' earlier music in the band he was with before Alter Bridge, the Mayfield Four, to hear what his voice was like when he was younger. I'd suggest Summergirl if I had to pick one song. If you're curious about his vocal range, he's been heard either live or on recordings to go from Bb1 all the way up to D6. Not sure what the highest he can still hit with a lot of power and control is, but it's at least F#5.

    It's a shame that Myles chose to sing like that. It ruins the performance in my opinion. I mean, compared to Amsterdam, this performance is a joke at best. It's similar to Wembley where Myles was sick and that's saying a lot about this RAH performance.
    I understand the need to preserve his voice or whatever, but if I were there having paid what undoubtedly was a pretty penny to see them, I'd be very disappointed with this performance of Blackbird. It's weird because he sang other songs normally that night but chose to go nasal for their most known song.
    Alter Bridge were never a great live band, but nowadays they're much worse than in their younger days because of Myles' singing. So many performances ruined. Although they're my favorite band, I don't regret not seeing them live one bit. In my opinion, they should let Mark sing and Myles should play lead guitar. It would be a nice change of pace that both of them would probably enjoy and also a real treat for the fans.

He has lost that youthful exuberance, but he’s much older and never felt completely comfortable putting on that act in the first place, much less as a man in his 50’s. Sounds great as ever though.
