Agreed, one of the better produced rock albums I've heard in a long time, sounds great on every speaker I have. The audiophile puritans might say it's still way to brickwall limited, but that's a side of it I can manage to ignore.
It was a good decision that they decided to have Neal Avron (the producer) mix the record instead of having Tom Lord-Alge do it. They've done it since When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes until their last record.
"We were born to be the ones, To show the faithless what we've done And there's a fire inside,It burns like the surface of the sun" - I don't think I can think of better lyrics to fit our current generation... The elders judge us all the time and their lack of faith in us is a bit disheartening but we will show them what we are capable of..
"We were born to be the ones. To show the faithless what we've done". Those who told them they couldn't do it. Who said they'd fail. They were wrong. "Here in this Angel City, lights will shine. And for awhile we let ourselves go blind". Reminds me of "Rough Landing, Holly". Going to a new place and the fame and excitement getting the best of them. "But now we know who loves and loves us not. And that's worth every good thing we have lost". But they differentiated friend and foe, and learned to
Remember seeing Ocean Avenue on MTV in late 2004 and I instantly fell in love and still am! Still to this day probably the only thing worth watching I have ever seen on MTV also..
Dude same here, used to listen to them back in like 2004-2005. Then stopped for a few years, and then started listening to them again around 2008 or 2009.
This song is awesome! Yellowcard is one of the few long-lived pop punk bands that didn't gone to worse from their beginnings :) Southern Air, one of the best albums of 2012
Yeah. I listen to stuff like Memphis May Fire, The Acacia Strain, and Emmure, but Yellowcard is one of my top 5 favorite bands. It's because they play with passion and you can tell they love what they do and that they were all born for this.
When they'd played this.. I can't explain the awesomeness I felt! It felt so bad ass to feel the vibes of the guitar through my body! Yellowcard's awesome in person! :D
they always amaze me with their 1st album song Way Away Lights and Sounds (i know its the 2nd but 1st as a song not intro) The Takedown The Sound of You and Me Surface of The Sun
Que nostalgia da este tema. Y será porque describe tan bien la travesía de la banda. Permite imaginar lo que hubiera sido si este álbum llegaba luego de Ocean Avenue. Pero las cosas se dieron de otra manera. Aún asi, me alegra haberlos visto al menos una vez en la vida, ese concierto se quedará en mi memoria y en mi corazón para siempre. Gracias YC.
i used to listen to Yellowcard a lot a few years ago, but stopped, don't know why. I just came across this song, and holy shit, they've still got it, this is amazing
Everyone here writing about how they've been fans of Yellowcard since '04, or '05, or '07, that's really awesome, but you missed out on some really, really good music after Ryan initially joined back in '01.
I saw them twice last fall and I fully concur. Going from 'Awakening' into this was so amazing. I've seen them 19 times in 11 years, btw, and this was right up there with anything they've done.
Sinceramente no se que tiene esta canción, pero tiene ese no de qué, que me transmite nostalgia, me recuerda mi adolescencia (Eso que tengo 18 años) ésta canción es lo más, odio la idea de que fueron infravalorados; yellowcard se merecía mucho más.
This is a story full of restless nights Of do or do not 'cause there is no try Across a decade we flew high and we fell low And getting up when we're dragged down is all we've known We were born to be the ones To show the faithless what we've done And there's a fire inside We were born to be the ones To show the faithless what we've done And there's a fire inside It burns like the surface of the sun Here in this Angel City lights will shine (Lights will shine) And for a while we let ourselves go blind (Inaudible) But now we know who loves and loves us not And they're worth every good thing we have lost (Oooh!) We were born to be the ones To show the faithless what we've done And there's a fire inside (Born to be) We were born to be the ones To show the faithless what we've done And there's a fire inside It burns like the surface of the sun We were born to be the ones And burn like the surface of the sun (Oooh!) To show the faithless what we've done (Oooh!) And burn like the surface of the sun And all the million miles to go Not over yet, not even close We were born to be the ones To show the faithless what we've done And there's a fire inside We were born to be the ones To show the faithless what we've done And there's a fire inside It burns like the surface of the sun (Oooh!) We were born to be the ones (Oooh!) And burn like the surface of the sun (Oooh!) To show the faithless what we've done (Oooh!) And burn like the surface of the sun
Even though I din't see them (ok, let's just say... I won't play live video cause my internet is sooo slow that's why I did'nt see them) or know them, I still love their songs. (Of course, I'm referring to YC)
One of the best Yellowcard songs EVER. Been a fan since 2004.
"Do or do not... there is no try" -Yoda
Yellowcard = Brilliant!
lol
Lmao, my same thought as well.
Yeah, Ryan is a big Star Wars fan.
Props goes to the production mix of this album. I can clearly hear every instrument and the nuances.

This might just be my favorite song on the album

Neal Avron did a mindblowing job on the mix of this song! FANTASTIC mix!

Love the melodic reference to the score of "Sunshine" here 0:42 - 0:52. As well as lyricaly.
got into yellowcard in 05 have not left bought this album last weekend and I am loving it
Always coming back to this song. No matter how I feel😊
Soundtrack of a lifetime
I can't believe they quit. I learned to skate while blasting their tracks. The world is coming to an end.
Right? We're gonna miss them
They're back
Saw them today in Utrecht, they were amazing, just like "Like Torches". Thumbs up for Yellowcard and Like Torches!
This song is awesome! Yellowcard is one of the few long-lived pop punk bands that didn't gone to worse from their beginnings :) Southern Air, one of the best albums of 2012
Fan since 2004 as well and I totally agree.
Realized the Yoda reference in the beginning and remembered Ryan's Star Wars tattoo :D Love YELLOWCARD
im colombian, and fan since 2004, and i really enkoyed this song, YC is awsome
Yeah. I listen to stuff like Memphis May Fire, The Acacia Strain, and Emmure, but Yellowcard is one of my top 5 favorite bands. It's because they play with passion and you can tell they love what they do and that they were all born for this.
no comments on this track?! wtf is wrong with the world?! this music should be adored!
When they'd played this.. I can't explain the awesomeness I felt! It felt so bad ass to feel the vibes of the guitar through my body! Yellowcard's awesome in person! :D
I have seen them 14 times and i wish they would play this song! It is amazing
they always amaze me with their 1st album song
Way Away
Lights and Sounds (i know its the 2nd but 1st as a song not intro)
The Takedown
The Sound of You and Me
Surface of The Sun
Best song on the album.
Glad to see yellowcard still has it, rock on
Pretty much one of my most favourite songs. Ever.
Yellowcard was my childhood and listening to this brought back so many memories of the past

such a good song. going to see them tonight. so pumped!
Someone explain to me why this kinda music isnt the kind social media revolves around.
I've accepted that after ocean avenue, yellowcard returned to being niche music and that's where it will probably stay sadly.
Sean Benson Yellowcard's albums up to the Lift a Sail do sound good. Lift a Sail has less aggressive rock, so it more happy/joyful sounding.
+classicrockguy7 same reason for all bad/insufficient things exist, people suck
there are also factors of people's personal preferences with music, marketing, media, and stereotypes of these type of music.
which all go back to my original point, music sucks, marketing sucks, media sucks, stereotypes suck lol
Ryan key, I swear you never let me down!! God I love you!
One of my favorite Yellowcard song.. So perfect!
i used to listen to Yellowcard a lot a few years ago, but stopped, don't know why. I just came across this song, and holy shit, they've still got it, this is amazing

I love this song so much
This is best song in the album Southern air
this song actually goes kinda hard. good job yellowcard
I Love Is album
you really really did it, Yellowcard. well freakin' done!! love it!
Sinceramente no se que tiene esta canción, pero tiene ese no de qué, que me transmite nostalgia, me recuerda mi adolescencia (Eso que tengo 18 años) ésta canción es lo más, odio la idea de que fueron infravalorados; yellowcard se merecía mucho más.
same here too! Yellowcard is special!
This is a story full of restless nights
Of do or do not 'cause there is no try
Across a decade we flew high and we fell low
And getting up when we're dragged down is all we've known
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
It burns like the surface of the sun
Here in this Angel City lights will shine
(Lights will shine)
And for a while we let ourselves go blind
(Inaudible)
But now we know who loves and loves us not
And they're worth every good thing we have lost
(Oooh!)
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
(Born to be)
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
It burns like the surface of the sun
We were born to be the ones
And burn like the surface of the sun
(Oooh!)
To show the faithless what we've done
(Oooh!)
And burn like the surface of the sun
And all the million miles to go
Not over yet, not even close
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
It burns like the surface of the sun
(Oooh!)
We were born to be the ones
(Oooh!)
And burn like the surface of the sun
(Oooh!)
To show the faithless what we've done
(Oooh!)
And burn like the surface of the sun
I am 95 percent confident that the bit where you wrote "inaudible," the person sang "We all went blind."
ikr yellowcard is one of a kind :)
thats why i like them so much
I'll miss you YC
That's awesome! I really hope I can see them again soon! I loved when they played 'Ocean Avenue'. (:
OGN
I saw them yesterday in Portsmouth, I couldn't agree with you more!
I am from the Switzerland and 13 years old, and i can play all tracks from Yellowcard of my E-guitar.
I love it !!!!!
Second favorite song from this album! It's amazing!
viva yellowcard i love Surface of the Sun
This band needs to be on MTV world stage
I want a music video for this!
It's too late for that :'(
Correction, ANYTHING by Yellowcard is the best song ever.
Phenomenal
Holy shit only after listening to this song for the 500th time did I realize, "a do or do not cause there is no try" is a reference to star wars.
Sin duda una de las mejores canciones! y álbum superable al anterior! :D
The Best!
Gonna see them live in 3 months!!!! :D
Ive been a fan since Ocean Avenue came out. Which was when I was 5!!
me too they were awesome :D
Hermoso ♥

OGN !
YO SOLO QUIERO Q VENGAN A VENEZUELA...EN SU TOUR...

@Jarrod Almond i remember when mtv played music

Even though I din't see them (ok, let's just say... I won't play live video cause my internet is sooo slow that's why I did'nt see them) or know them, I still love their songs. (Of course, I'm referring to YC)
does the first song end in a similar way to the beginning of this one...like a seamless transition if you will?
This should be the lead single.
same here,but i was 19 back then ;)
hey guys, may i know what are the meanings or purposes of this song?
Had to look up this song after hearing it on NFL network....GO CARDINAL'S!!!!
I fuckin love this song Yellowcard is amazing
Yellowcard rocks!!
thumbs up if you agree ;))
SKT T1 !!

This should have been the lead single of Southern Air
Awakening was also very good
now it's the critically aclaimed sequal song tho
also heard this on OGN. why cant LCS play this kind of music instead -_-
its bullshit how yellowcard has so little views they deseve more!
OGN baby
Alex Gaskarth's favourite band, All Time Low and Yellowcard sond alike
What's so funny about that? I listen to all genres of music including Classical and such and don't make a big deal out of it.
