I saw you when I was 15, that was 12 years ago. I still listen to all your albums to this day! We love you, man! Thank you for giving us this music, there's nobody that can sing like you!
Are you the real guy? If so: You rock like an angel of metal and purity and I hope you keep rocking! You are sehr awesome and it would be a shame if your voice went away from emotional metal songs like this.
Just like the guy falling. Fate gives you a cookie and diabetes and you decide to throw yourself down a burning building to save yourself while everyone else is just unmoved by the crazy and danger around. Not alife.
@RandolTheFox LP is not metalcore or metal bro. Also Chester had a good voice but imo LP was only good in hybrid theory and meteora. Would have been cool if he was in a metal band tho.
Try Break The Silence, the love child of My Curse & The Arms of Sorrow. Then proceed with Daylight Dies, Reject Yourself and This is Absolution, exactly in that order
The only band worth mentioning with switched singers and still annihilated these tracks . Usually a band loses its taste when the singers switch. Not here
Coming back to this song so many years later, and the first few guitar notes are making the hairs on my arms stand on end in anticipation. I loved this era.
Howard is insane! Not to many in the entire music industry can compare to power he puts behind the lyrics!! It takes so much control to be able to sing with that much force and still hold all the melodic notes so beautifully. The man is nothing short of a Jedi of his craft!
At 37, im kinda sad that i still rely on all these classics. Is it me that fell away from rock? Or is it rock that has seemed to have faded and not what it used to be? ✊😔 either way i seemed fucked.
Smile empty soul Killswitch engage Mudvayne Ill nino Adema Static X Sevendust P.O.D. Mad at Gravity My memories are fading..and i fear in time i will forget even the few bands that i can list now. And my soul will be empty and void long before my grave 6 feet deep is dug.
Howard's voice and lyrics are so powerful and moving. I stumbled upon KSE when he was the vocalist and have been a KSE fan ever since. Jesse is a darn good singer as well but Howard will always be my favorite part of KSE.
Probably the most emotional song of theirs, this song just absolutely destroyed me when I first heard it. Perfectly captured how I felt- just wrecked with depression. Things are all good these days, but still nice to re-listen to this and go through it all again in a way. Kind of releases the remnents of those feelings
people will disagree but. in my opinion. there is NO ONE else in metal who has harmonized beautiful clean vocals with heavy distorted music quite the way Howard did with Killswitch. amazing
this singer is legit one of the best in metal history. common guys, can you really argue against this? the lyrics, the vocals, the different pitches/tones.....record breaking.
This song is something else. As a band, I think they tapped into some feelings and ways of expressing emotions that are beyond mosts ability to comprehend. Amazing song. Truly masterful.
Imprisoned, inside this mind Hiding behind the empty smiles So simple (the anguish) As it mocks me Crawling back into the dark Running, always running, into the distance Stop me before I bleed, again The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Quickly descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow The demons of my own design This horror must not remain Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity There must be deliverance Deeper I'm falling Blindly descending Deeper I'm falling
Howard’s clean business casual appearance is so underrated!! I mean it’s obvious why it would be because literally everything about this video and song is on another level of amazing.
My dad showed me this band and told me to listen to this album this was the first song I played I think of it as our song now just singing and driving around to it it’s truly a great song every time I listen to it I smile it reminds me of him
I’ve been listening to this song over and over again. And I can’t get enough. I’m going through so much in my life and I’m happy that I found this song. I can relate. This song is so beautiful. It says a lot. Thank you, Killswitch Engage. Thank you.
Man I want this song to be the anthem of my life. I have Asperger’s syndrome and this hits HARD. “Imprisoned inside this mind.” “The echoes of my voice follow me down.” and “Running, always running into the distance.” Are all exactly what i feel and say to myself sometimes. I get through it though. I’m trying to use it as an asset instead of a detriment in my life. That strategy has been working so far. Thank you Killswitch Engage for making a song that talks about wanting to try and atone from your past mistakes and do better. This is amazing. Truly, thank you guys.
Damn did my miserable life drift away so quickly. I remember listening to this when I was 10 years old. I’m 24 now. Life goes on so effortlessly. I’m so thankful to have discovered good metal bands like Killswitch and Lamb of God at a young age.
When Howard first took over vocals, I remember a rather large contingent of "fans" were super toxic and hated it. Years later, people want more Howard and often say his vocals led the band at their most accessible, their best.
I don´t know Killswitch with any other vocals, so I have no frame of reference. However, I will say this: I totally agree his vocals are distinct, and a beautiful fit to the band. I probably wouldn´t listen to this style of music if the vocals were more "generic" with regards to the genre
+Cecil Williams I've listened the album when it came out a few times, you can say it sounds pretty much like KSE since that Adam and Jesse are in the band haha, Adam's parts in that album are awesome, his voice along with Jesses's and Howard's fits very well, it would be realy good to see him singin an entire song.
I remember when I was first getting into metal back when I was around 14/15 and I was randomly browsing the On Demand music videos and I kept randomly checking out each band listed and when I got to KSE, it was this video and it blew me away. I was used to hearing very harsh metal vocal stylings (a friend of mine introduced me to bands like Korn and Disturbed to get me into metal and while not "harsh" vocalists, they weren't very smooth clean vocalists) but the smoothness and richness of Howard's voice drew me in and how it seemed to have a never ending well of power. The guitars soared and had such a crisp sound to the riffs and the drums carried that resonance with a crashing force. To top it all off, Adam D's background vox is fucking amazing. The part around 1:54-2:05 where he does back-up for Howard is haunting. I hold KSE with Howard in such high regard when it comes to my introduction into this music still to this day.
I am congratulating you. I thought the reason for your comment was to brag about liking Howard more then Jesse. So I said "good for you", Because really no one gives a fuck.
@@beardownx2006 2 years and i havent listend this song.. and the reason i have wanted to listen this song but have not, because this remindes me of my ex girlfriend... and still bring good and sad memories.
This song has literally helped save my life. I always come back to it when I'm feeling lower than ever and it somehow lifts me up everytime. The lyrics are hard to not cry and sing along to
STILL LOVING IT in August 2024. I always remember when Jesse left and Howard showed up. I felt sorry because Howie's voice looked kinda another band.. But later, i fell in love with Howie's voice and missed him so much when he left. His voice got such a new breathe for KSE that we'll never forget. He's one of those voices nobody has equal. THANKS Howard and KSE for so many unforgettable anthems like this one. Still enjoying Jesse's but will always love Howard's
I don’t know what it means to you but 10 years ago I was imprisoned and hiding behind everything. The arms of sorrow held me for a long time. Now in 2020 I can hear this song with no sorrows left in my heart, and I’m feeling good and redeemed.
I love both Howard and Jesse. They each contributed something unique during their respective times with the band. And besides - KSE kicks ass whoever is doing vocals - sheesh.
I can't get enough. It makes me feel so much. I love this album and this band, as I did in High School when I first heard them. I am only now getting into them again years later. I can still remember walking down a crowded hallway blasting this song through my earbuds. This is probably my favorite album from KSE but all their others are good, too. I need to listen to the others more but I just love this one so much I give it unequal attention.
One of the best vocal frontend to date. Never off my playlist. Seen several times with Howard. Now my 9yr old loves Killswitch Engage. Defo a reunion needed
The whole video you think he's jumped to kill himself, but he's actually jumping to save himself from the fire while everyone else is clueless of what's happening around them... damn.
No the fire was on the building next to it the moral of this is to show how much goes by in the time that it can take for someone to have their life pass. But good theory
No matter how many metalcore albums and band i discover and enjoy, killswitch engage will hold the title of "best metalcore band ever" for me till the end of eternity.
Dedicated to my late wife Nicole Rae... my heartache never ends my sweet thing...mother of my beloved child...we will reunite someday...I promise...please look after me...cause I'm a mess... 4EVER
They say time heals all wounds, but truthfully it only makes it a little less easier to live without your loved ones that you lost. I hope everything goes good for you man. I know it's going to be hard for a long time, but it will get easier. I'll keep you and your children in my prayers.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was the song that got me hooked to this band. Jessie has the emotion behind the song but Howard has the voice. Cant wait for their upcoming song together
Adam's guitar work is unparalleled in memorability and beauty. I don't even have to mention Howard's skill, but I will. My heart can't handle the passion and power from his delivery. This song is immaculate.
i remember when i listened killswitch engage long tim ago with so much passion, after some years I listen this and I keep saying, this dudes have my ears and soul for the rest of my life. vocalist's voice is magical
I just recently discovered your music. I fucking love it. I'm an old metal head, just was never into the growling and stuff until now. I find your music to be completely badass,beautiful and positive. I also found that when I'm having a bad night of PTSD, it's been your music that has been looping in my head, replacing what's usually there. That has brought me peace. Thankyou so fucking much KSE. I hope that maybe someday you read this and know that you helped someone with your music.
So many years has passed and i still getting tears in my eyes for every time that i hear this song... A combinatiin of a very powerful voice and very powerful words that penetrate the stomach straight into the heart!
I will forever love this song. I can't explain how many times I've sunk and gotten back up with heartfelt songs such as this. Forever a Killswitch fan.
Imprisoned, inside this mind Hiding behind the empty smiles So simple (the anguish) As it mocks me Crawling back into the dark Running, always running, into the distance Stop me before I bleed, again The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down (Deeper I'm falling) Into the arms of sorrow (Blindly descending) Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity The echoes of my voice (the echoes of my voice) Follow me down The shadows I cast (the shadows I cast) Follow me down (Deeper I'm falling) Into the arms of sorrow (Blindly descending) Into the arms of sorrow The demons of my own design This horror must not remain (Deeper I'm falling) Into the arms of sorrow (Blindly descending) Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity There must be deliverance (Deeper I'm falling) (Blindly descending) (Deeper I'm falling)
I will mever forget this music video, almost 20 years later... i remember watching this in middle school thinking these guys are too badass. Love this era of this band.
Alive or Just Breathing, The End of Heartache and THIS ALBUM, As Daylight Dies, soo underated, people forgot about this, arms of sorrow, still gives me chills. My curse, break the silence. The whole album is clutch.
AoJB is still my favorite by these guys but As Daylight Dies is definitely my second-favorite. It's almost as if the band was aiming at making it a sequel to AoJB, because a lot of the material has similar structuring, but adds a different feel to it with Howard's vocals.
Where it all began for me. I didnt even realize he was a replacement and then I heard Jesse, then came The Signal Fire. I'm so happy to have gotten into this band.
lyric: Imprisoned, inside this mind Hiding behind the empty smiles So simple (the anguish) As it mocks me Crawling back into the dark Running, always running, into the distance Stop me before I bleed, again The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down (Deeper I'm falling) Into the arms of sorrow (Blindly descending) Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity The echoes of my voice (the echoes of my voice) Follow me down The shadows I cast (the shadows I cast) Follow me down (Deeper I'm falling) Into the arms of sorrow (Blindly descending) Into the arms of sorrow The demons of my own design This horror must not remain (Deeper I'm falling) Into the arms of sorrow (Blindly descending) Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity There must be deliverance (Deeper I'm falling) (Blindly descending) (Deeper I'm falling)
The lyrics are about depression, the man is jumping because of his sorrow, but others can interpret it as jumping to save himself from the fire. However I believe that the fire is a representation of his sorrow, and he's trying to escape it. Some of the apartment occupants may also represent his sorrow, with the girlfriend slapping her boyfriend symbolizing a broken relationship and the jump rope hitting his foot representing imperfection.
I’m glad someone analyzed the video... it also looks like the... symbolic persona jumping off the building decided it wanted to live after all, on the way down.. and ultimately climbed out of the water.

Thank you for all the support!
Love you're contribution to this world from talent given by God to bless ppl such as myself with joy of the beauty of music!🌹🌬🐸🌟😇
I saw you when I was 15, that was 12 years ago. I still listen to all your albums to this day! We love you, man! Thank you for giving us this music, there's nobody that can sing like you!
Man, I hope you realise that you have most beautiful voice in metalcore ;)
Are you the real guy?
If so: You rock like an angel of metal and purity and I hope you keep rocking! You are sehr awesome and it would be a shame if your voice went away from emotional metal songs like this.
Just came after The safety of disbelief, your voice is nothing but magnificent
The guitars are like crashing waves and his voice is just gracefully sailing through it
Wonderfully said
LOVE this metaphor... underrated comment.. howie doesnt get enough credit.
Just like the guy falling. Fate gives you a cookie and diabetes and you decide to throw yourself down a burning building to save yourself while everyone else is just unmoved by the crazy and danger around. Not alife.
Don't forget about the drummer! No doubt he broke several sets, insane!
Howard Jones, in my opinion, has one of the most powerful voices in metalcore
You spelled universe wrong
@RandolTheFox LP is not metalcore or metal bro. Also Chester had a good voice but imo LP was only good in hybrid theory and meteora. Would have been cool if he was in a metal band tho.
@Good Krypollo I just said they were never metal lol and never said he did have the range Howard does
One of the best voices in music.
I love chester and miss him, but he was a really overrated singer. They're are a lot of talented singer/screamers out there with more range than him
This song gives me chills after all these years... true metalcore perfection
True 💙
You and me both brotha.
2011 me would be happy we’re still here
Golden era of metal Core 🥲
I miss those days
Try Break The Silence, the love child of My Curse & The Arms of Sorrow. Then proceed with Daylight Dies, Reject Yourself and This is Absolution, exactly in that order
Howard's voice is haunting. Such great range. Miss him with Killswitch Engage.
The only band worth mentioning with switched singers and still annihilated these tracks . Usually a band loses its taste when the singers switch. Not here
Why did he leave anyway
@@jasondixon7548 wanted to start his own group he actually has one with Jared Dines called Sion look it up an amazing collab
@@chrismusiclover9893 his group is called light the torch.
He has diabetes
Coming back to this song so many years later, and the first few guitar notes are making the hairs on my arms stand on end in anticipation.
I loved this era.
hows crusty doing
Hell yes man. I'm with ya on that!!!
Tight! Tight! Tight! Tight!
I love you dude
Where I was I heard this and saw damn I'm better
Howard is a great singer. His voice is magical
+Levi Sisk his voice is beautiful
+Levi Sisk Man, I came here to try to stop the Howard and Jesse Shennanigans but you're right, Howard is a great vocalist.
exactly
+Levi Sisk kultakurkku = goldthroat
+ajkorras or golden cucumber XD
2024, KILLSWITCH!!!!!! We miss you Howard
Light the Torch is awesome. You checked them out? w/ Howard
Nah. We glad Jesse is back 🤘
@@deathmagneto-soynah we not. Howard is better but I like Jesse too. He writes good lyrics.
Howards' voice is one that is immediately recognizable even if you can't see who's singing. 🤟
Dude could lead people into battle with a voice like that
Into an already lost battle*
💘
Damn right mate,,,and I would have follow him☝️💯😎
If I could choose who to sound like as a metal singer, Howard's voice would definitely be in the top 3.
To HELL and beyond my Lord!!!!
Howard is insane! Not to many in the entire music industry can compare to power he puts behind the lyrics!! It takes so much control to be able to sing with that much force and still hold all the melodic notes so beautifully. The man is nothing short of a Jedi of his craft!
This was the first KsE song I ever heard and they’ve been one of my top bands since!
2020, god this song doesn't get old.
I completely agree with you! This song and this whole album is a masterpiece and it will never get old!
Nope it doesn't how can u not jam to this song
this album gets better with age!
At 37, im kinda sad that i still rely on all these classics.
Is it me that fell away from rock?
Or is it rock that has seemed to have faded and not what it used to be?
✊😔 either way i seemed fucked.
Smile empty soul
Killswitch engage
Mudvayne
Ill nino
Adema
Static X
Sevendust
P.O.D.
Mad at Gravity
My memories are fading..and i fear in time i will forget even the few bands that i can list now. And my soul will be empty and void long before my grave 6 feet deep is dug.
We are so lucky to get to experience this type of music growing up. 16 then 33 now
this song is a beautiful metaphor for depression.
Well observed. Totally agree.
Yep...
No wonder why i like the song so much
Or grief. Or regret.
Still beautiful, that solo, though!!!!
It’s one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Lyrics and melody wise.
Song is still criminally underrated. As I got older and older this hit closer and closer to home.
Howard's voice and lyrics are so powerful and moving. I stumbled upon KSE when he was the vocalist and have been a KSE fan ever since. Jesse is a darn good singer as well but Howard will always be my favorite part of KSE.
Probably the most emotional song of theirs, this song just absolutely destroyed me when I first heard it. Perfectly captured how I felt- just wrecked with depression. Things are all good these days, but still nice to re-listen to this and go through it all again in a way. Kind of releases the remnents of those feelings
Exactly how I'm listening to it right now. Hope things are still going okay for you
I relate to this comment so much
can relate
Im glad you overcame 🙏 howard has brought me solidarity, and a peace of heart and soul. Glad we can all come together in his music 🙌🤝
Same, I wish Jesse would write darker songs like this.
This song has the most beautiful Intro ever.Period.
Hearts burst in to fire by Bullet for my Valentine might come close.
i'm sorry but My curse does have the best intro ;)
+kamerik73 true
personally the most chill calming beautiful intro (to a heavy af song) belongs to Born of Osiris - Follow the Signs...
The outro in the last minute of this song is incredible too, probably my favourite ever actually.
This will forever be a masterpiece
certified classic
people will disagree but. in my opinion. there is NO ONE else in metal who has harmonized beautiful clean vocals with heavy distorted music quite the way Howard did with Killswitch. amazing
facts
This is why I love kill switch engage so much especially with Howard singing.
Nail on the head! My favorite metal singer!
I had to double check I didn't write this comment as it's exactly how I feel. Man. I love Howard so much.
Agreed. Probably the most versatile male vocalist I've heard yet next to Mike Patton
Life was simple in the days I first found Killswitch
You ain’t lying. Your comment resonated with me too. I was much younger then and didn’t have a care in the world.
Same
Same , wish we could all go back
fuck the life up! life is shit! memories are killing me...
i found it on a amv, th-cam.com/video/lo-YtaDHeIY/w-d-xo.html amv back in day.. one could find anything
this singer is legit one of the best in metal history. common guys, can you really argue against this? the lyrics, the vocals, the different pitches/tones.....record breaking.
Howard Jones is amazing, for sure.
Best in metal history for me, he’s unbelievable. Can listen to him all day without being bored
Been hearing this song since I was 7 years old. Now I am 23, and still get the same chills every time. Masterpiece of a song. ❤️
This song is something else. As a band, I think they tapped into some feelings and ways of expressing emotions that are beyond mosts ability to comprehend. Amazing song. Truly masterful.
Yeah.
Yeah this song saved my life
What else could you ask for in a song? Howard killed this. The emotion!!
Legendary song
The more I grow old the more I realize that this might be one of the best metalcore songs to have ever been written. If not THE best one.
This is probably Howard’s best performance imo! Such a beautiful song!
Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (the anguish)
As it mocks me
Crawling back into the dark
Running, always running, into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Quickly descending
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly descending
Into the arms of sorrow
The demons of my own design
This horror must not remain
Deeper I'm falling
Into the arms of sorrow
Blindly descending
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
There must be deliverance
Deeper I'm falling
Blindly descending
Deeper I'm falling

One of the coolest KSE songs, simply for the time signature. All over the place. This is one of their best written songs
I know that Jesse and Howard were always main dudes when it came to vocals,but can we just appreciate Adam's great backup vocals?
Amen to that.
Yeah he is really good
Absolutely love it yeah!
Adam produced Parkway Drives first 2 albums. Dude is a beast all across the board

Life goes on so effortlessly.
I’m so thankful to have discovered good metal bands like Killswitch and Lamb of God at a young age.
yeah man. 14 years old rn, this shit is better than any other rap song. good metal is the best.
Same. I remember this song In 2010 and it just came across my mind and I’m 25 now
24....damn kiddo you have plenty of time , at 42 I saw KSE from beginning, at 33 I went through hell , again recently. So head up and fight on
I would like but it's at 69
and As I Lay Dying... remembering my junior high school days 😅😭
The voice of Adam is just... That make me dream. Really amazing ! His voice is just perfect with Howard voice !
Couldn't agree with you more. Adam has one of the most amazing voices. Obviously Howard does too but Adam is underrated.
Quite possibly top 5 most beautiful metal song ever written. The melody and vocals mixing with everything is, simply put, amazing.
Your music is heaven
When Howard first took over vocals, I remember a rather large contingent of "fans" were super toxic and hated it.
Years later, people want more Howard and often say his vocals led the band at their most accessible, their best.

I love Killswitch with either singer and honestly wish Howard and Jesse were both in the band at the same time.
The Signal Fire is amazing!
I personally only started listening to them with Howard as the first vocalist just didn't do anything at all
Adam should sing more, his voice is realy good
Have you checked out Times of Grace? He sings a lot in their one album The Hymn of a Broken Man.
+Cecil Williams I've listened the album when it came out a few times, you can say it sounds pretty much like KSE since that Adam and Jesse are in the band haha, Adam's parts in that album are awesome, his voice along with Jesses's and Howard's fits very well, it would be realy good to see him singin an entire song.
Yeah. I thought so to. He has good cleans.
I'm most impressed with him winning The Price is Right. th-cam.com/video/lmWJu25zdI8/w-d-xo.html
I totally agree! Unfortunately, Adam thinks his voice sucks. He's said it in a few interviews, that's why he tries not to sing too much.
I remember when I was first getting into metal back when I was around 14/15 and I was randomly browsing the On Demand music videos and I kept randomly checking out each band listed and when I got to KSE, it was this video and it blew me away.

*inserts Samuel L. Jackson "My niggah" meme*
I didn't read any of that.
my favorite song is in 14/15 time
man i can't agree more! from like 1:50 until the end i just want to hear it over and over
That's actually the same way I found this song via on demand but it was more of deysroy everything by hatebree that got me
This is very real old school metalcore we ever listen back in the mid or late 2000s!
I miss Howard.. i only listen to kse songs sang by him
GOOD FOR YOU!

thats cute uugh
And normies still think metal is just a worthless noise....damn
KSE with Howard probably the most melodic metal choruses to ever exist. 🤘
I love both Howard and Jesse. They each contributed something unique during their respective times with the band. And besides - KSE kicks ass whoever is doing vocals - sheesh.
Yeah, as long as its one of them
I can't get enough. It makes me feel so much. I love this album and this band, as I did in High School when I first heard them. I am only now getting into them again years later.
I can still remember walking down a crowded hallway blasting this song through my earbuds. This is probably my favorite album from KSE but all their others are good, too. I need to listen to the others more but I just love this one so much I give it unequal attention.
I can totally relate to this song. These guys kill it. Been a fan of killswitch for a long time. never gets old
One of the best vocal frontend to date. Never off my playlist. Seen several times with Howard. Now my 9yr old loves Killswitch Engage. Defo a reunion needed
One of the best songs KsE made! So many memories to this song, they all come back as if I'm right there again. Badass!
Forever one of the best examples of excellent songwriting.
The whole video you think he's jumped to kill himself, but he's actually jumping to save himself from the fire while everyone else is clueless of what's happening around them... damn.
I always try to find comments like this in every KsE music video just to remind myself of how talented this band is
but why did he jump with a bag of oranges and apples?
@@ModPCLM because he valued his life more than the groceries he just brought home
i did not even realize this holy cow...
No the fire was on the building next to it the moral of this is to show how much goes by in the time that it can take for someone to have their life pass. But good theory
You know who I am.
You know I listen to you and your inspiration to constantly stand between both my families.
Gratitude.
No matter how many metalcore albums and band i discover and enjoy, killswitch engage will hold the title of "best metalcore band ever" for me till the end of eternity.
Dedicated to my late wife Nicole Rae... my heartache never ends my sweet thing...mother of my beloved child...we will reunite someday...I promise...please look after me...cause I'm a mess... 4EVER
I don't know your story but nevertheless stay strong man
@@xthecrazy3548 thank u for caring enough to reply...thx a lot...
@@scottyjones4428 No problem bro, i gotchu
They say time heals all wounds, but truthfully it only makes it a little less easier to live without your loved ones that you lost. I hope everything goes good for you man. I know it's going to be hard for a long time, but it will get easier. I'll keep you and your children in my prayers.
@@BriannaGeesaman thx so much Breezy Bree. It means a lot that u took the time to talk to me. GOD bless u hun. ++
Damn. This still holds up over a decade later. Timeless KSE & quintessential melodic metal
I thank God for the the incredible musicianship and lyricism of this band. It has and continues to get me through so much
Its 2021, still listening to this and still missing Howard!!!!! He truly has an amazing voice and one that KSE needs to get back!!!!!
Had to deal 20 years with depression... made it out thankfully, but always use this song to explain others how depression feels like.
Ladies and gentlemen, this was the song that got me hooked to this band. Jessie has the emotion behind the song but Howard has the voice. Cant wait for their upcoming song together
Adam's guitar work is unparalleled in memorability and beauty. I don't even have to mention Howard's skill, but I will. My heart can't handle the passion and power from his delivery. This song is immaculate.
i remember when i listened killswitch engage long tim ago with so much passion, after some years I listen this and I keep saying, this dudes have my ears and soul for the rest of my life. vocalist's voice is magical
My 2 and 3 year old daughter stop whatever they doing whenever I tune this song up and headbang while lip syncing 🤘🖤 thank u KSE
That is so awesome!
Life was simple these days. Wish I could go back to the days riding home from school on a Friday with this in my headphones.
Agree
I just recently discovered your music. I fucking love it. I'm an old metal head, just was never into the growling and stuff until now.
I find your music to be completely badass,beautiful and positive.
I also found that when I'm having a bad night of PTSD, it's been your music that has been looping in my head, replacing what's usually there. That has brought me peace.
Thankyou so fucking much KSE.
I hope that maybe someday you read this and know that you helped someone with your music.
The End of 2021 and this song still smacks.............."deeper I'm falling"
So many years has passed and i still getting tears in my eyes for every time that i hear this song... A combinatiin of a very powerful voice and very powerful words that penetrate the stomach straight into the heart!
i feel you
I will forever love this song. I can't explain how many times I've sunk and gotten back up with heartfelt songs such as this. Forever a Killswitch fan.
I like that transition from Arms of Sorrow - KSE to Hope! 🤘
Killswitch is a metal band with emotion, unique riffs & those goddamn cleans !!
Another phenomenally beautiful masterpiece from you guys.
Howard's clean singing sounds good, I love it.
One of my most favorite vocalists I had the absolute pleasure to meet and hear in concert a few times! I miss you 🫶
This guy was their best singer imo..
this song is so beautiful it makes me cry for some reason
Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles
So simple (the anguish)
As it mocks me
Crawling back into the dark
Running, always running, into the distance
Stop me before I bleed, again
The echoes of my voice
Follow me down
The shadows I cast
Follow me down
(Deeper I'm falling)
Into the arms of sorrow
(Blindly descending)
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
The echoes of my voice (the echoes of my voice)
Follow me down
The shadows I cast (the shadows I cast)
Follow me down
(Deeper I'm falling)
Into the arms of sorrow
(Blindly descending)
Into the arms of sorrow
The demons of my own design
This horror must not remain
(Deeper I'm falling)
Into the arms of sorrow
(Blindly descending)
Into the arms of sorrow
There must be serenity
There must be deliverance
(Deeper I'm falling)
(Blindly descending)
(Deeper I'm falling)
I will mever forget this music video, almost 20 years later... i remember watching this in middle school thinking these guys are too badass. Love this era of this band.
That voice!!!. LOVE, LOVE this song....as well as their new one, "Can't Be The Only One." Such a great band.
Alive or Just Breathing, The End of Heartache and THIS ALBUM, As Daylight Dies, soo underated, people forgot about this, arms of sorrow, still gives me chills. My curse, break the silence. The whole album is clutch.
hellll ya
Agreed
Amen jesse is a beast.
AoJB is still my favorite by these guys but As Daylight Dies is definitely my second-favorite. It's almost as if the band was aiming at making it a sequel to AoJB, because a lot of the material has similar structuring, but adds a different feel to it with Howard's vocals.
It is in my honest opinion that no KsE album will ever touch "As Daylight Dies."
Where it all began for me. I didnt even realize he was a replacement and then I heard Jesse, then came The Signal Fire. I'm so happy to have gotten into this band.
I don't even listen to metalcore nowadays, just old posthardcore but this band in this point in time, I love so much
Mad respect and love for Howard. His vocals are insane and really get me hyped.

My favorite band! The literal background music of my life! ☀️ 🌙 🌧️ ⛈️ ❄️ 🌊
killswitch will always be a part of my life
The Power in Howard's voice can not be replicated. He is truly one of the best Metalcore Vocalists
The nostalgia listening to this song again after awhile is real 🙌🏽 Killswitch engage is amazing loved their music for years 😌
Great voice Howard love this band and music, my parents dont but I love them :)
I introduced this to a black coworker. He was speechless. These guys are awesome. I wished they would get the recognition they deserve
I wish they would take Howard back
Introduce them to Sevendust now
" you're black right? check this out!!"
@@larry90944 Shut up "Ricky"
@@larry90944 haha
The lyrics are about depression, the man is jumping because of his sorrow, but others can interpret it as jumping to save himself from the fire. However I believe that the fire is a representation of his sorrow, and he's trying to escape it. Some of the apartment occupants may also represent his sorrow, with the girlfriend slapping her boyfriend symbolizing a broken relationship and the jump rope hitting his foot representing imperfection.
what about the old dude cutting the wood out of the window. maybe not knowing what he's doing?
The old dude is his boyfriend.
ew
I’m glad someone analyzed the video... it also looks like the... symbolic persona jumping off the building decided it wanted to live after all, on the way down.. and ultimately climbed out of the water.
This was my MySpace song.
mine too XD
It was my Bebo song haha
Good one boomer 😁
Hahaha good choice. Mine was stay captive by still remains
What the frick is a myspace
life goes on and on and this song will be stucked in my mind forever
This song ages like wine! They are awesome!
