- Instead of making you wait until the album is released, I thought I'd share my excitement for this song with you now. I decided with this piece to video document it's creation. This is literally the first time I played the song through in its entirety. His name is Sentry The Defiant. - Claudio
2021. Still crying. Still an absolute killer song. And Claudio's voice will NEVER get old ..
And still my favorite version of this one. Would love to get an acoustic/B-sides album!
It will never lol
F’real this might be my favorite of everything they’ve done.
This song is timeless
Yes
"Hangman hooded, softly swinging, don't close the coffin yet...
I'm alive."
I keep coming back to this song because those lyrics hit so hard.
Masterful.

U gotta hear this one!!! :)
HARD
@@beezybeez4207 thank you !!
@@andyflipzz thx for listening
I hai I haihaiyayahai. Im alive
2023 reminiscing and this song is still one of my favorite Claudio vids
Claudio's voice sounds so beautiful in this video this is by far THE best version of Sentry The Defiant.
I'll forever love this band. Phenomenal song. Still here from the early days.
This song literally kept me from commiting suicide for 2 solid years after my divorce. I love this version most of all. Thank you guys for being so fucking awesome!

U gotta hear this one!!! :)
thank you for staying 🥹❤
Man, what a testimony good luck brother!
I know that you wrote your comment years ago. I don't "know" you, but I am SO thankful that you are "here" and I know how powerful a song can be, too. I'm thankful for song because I can see it's resonated with so many people like yourself. ❤
It makes me unalive. lol
this will always be my favorite version of this song, so fucking good
When he sings parts of the verse that resonate from the acoustic it sends shivers. "Then one day I grew too old" every time.
I find myself continuously coming back to this acoustic version of Sentry I just love it so much
Its been 12 years and i come to this video at least 3 times a year every year. Favorite version of any song on this website
I refuse to believe this was 5 years ago. This came out last week.
that's nice. I've been listening to this demo track for 5 years.
me too dude. just saying this feels like yesterday. I remember when it came out hah
ohok bahaha
thats batshit crazy...time fly's when your busy existing
6 now, feeling old yet? :)
Claudio, srsly dude. You are a god. You are the reason I learned to sing in falsetto! This is by far my favorite version of this song. Please sell this. Or put it on an album as a bonus track! So much emotion here!
If I could only listen to one song ever for the rest of my life this might be it.
Couldn't agree more with you :)
This song just sends chills up my spine....his voice is just so amazing....
My god the angels have sung, that ending is so intense he really gets into it. This is by far the best band of all time.
In my opinion, Claudio's voice and playing are so much better live than in studio.
I like both :)
Especially in the last 3-ish years. He's really gotten his shit together, singing-wise. He can hit the same high notes he did when SSTB was new and yet doesn't run out of breath anymore or go all over the place during mid-range parts. His voice is so fucking on point these days I can't believe it.
Totally agree. There are videos of early, live C and C...he's come a long way. Proof that with passion and hard work we can succeed.
This acoustic version is like good sex: Raw and emotional. =P
My Dude u may have thrush...
Claudio, you have been my hero since I was a little kid. seriously, you and jack white are no joke the reason that I am a musician today. I am releasing my first full length album tomorrow (and i don't imitate you, haha) and though you will probably never see this, I just wanted to tell you that you changed my life dude. Coheed has and always will be one of the best bands out there, and I can honestly say no other artist or band has had anywhere near the effect on my development as an artist. I am releasing this album because when I was 12 years old I was like "holy fuck what kind of songs are these?"
Small Drawings I was feeling this until you said jack white lmfao
Trey Harmon jack white is the reason people are still interested in blues and classic rock. gtfo non cultured ass bandit
Roger Dalzell He had one hit song. Everything he's put out other than 7 nation army sounds like a 3rd grader with Down Syndrome wrote and performed it. Just because he's the only mainstream blues artist does not make him a savior by any means.

+Trey Harmon I will never understand why people are so narrow minded on music. Just because you don't enjoy the style of songs does not mean someone else might not enjoy them. Are you the end all be all judge on talent? Your ego is too large and it blinds your vision and shackles your mind. If the music is not your taste, simply say so. There is no such thing as good or bad music, there is just music. And until you can recognize that, you're going to severely limit your music taste and further narrow your mind.
Coheed and Cambria defies all rock genres and has become its own. Other rock songs may inspire and give that adrenaline kick we need throughout the day, but songs from Coheed and Cambria? A new form of humanity were born with their songs!
Well said brother.
They don't really defy any genres. They're a progressive rock band. They just write really good music and have backgrounds in a lot of different genres and scenes so they write something besides by-the-numbers prog.
I respect your opinion, but must disagree. Their originality and mixture of different genres in one truly creates something more unique than to simply be put in one genre and, in my opinion, places them in a higher creativity value than the average rock bands today. Sure, it's fun to listen to some good ol classic rock genres, or head bang with some heavy rock bands like Metallica or Slipknot, etc. Yet it is rare to find rock bands that not only experiment with genres and instruments foreign to their style, but also creates stories in their albums. This is what Coheed and Cambria does. Their stories became comics and memorable pieces from their albums. The Amory Wars is also rumored to be either a show or a feature film. The stories even have cult followings behind them. So in what I've said, you would then see why I must disagree and still say they defy the genres of rock by becoming their own genre with extreme moral aspects in their writing.
Arcanium69 I don't need the generic Coheed fan run-down. I am plenty well versed in the mythology and music of Coheed. But when you listen to enough music you realize where Coheed expands upon more than they innovate. Sure, when the most underground a person gets is MTV2, Coheed is probably #1, but there's a lot of music out there, and no one is really doing anything new anymore, just doing better or worse than others.
Like I said, I respect your opinion, and told you I disagreed and why I disagreed. This can be a long debate, but I have more interesting things to do. All I ask for is the similar respect I give out.
"Don't close the coffin yet... I'm alive."
IT STILL GIVES ME CHILLS EVERY FUCKING TIME!! One of my favorite songs right now.
Man, you really make my spirit grow !!! Thank you for creating these beautiful melodies ... health and peace for all your family !!!
I listened to this every day of my life until it was a full band song. And i still haven't stopped coming back to this. THIS is your greatest creation Claudio. Please prove me wrong in 2020-2021
dflameX man ive been repeating this song for weeks also. Its so good 👌👌
I got chills when i heard this for the first time. so damn good.
This still gives me chills man like wtf, Claudio you god
These kitchen videos of Claudio are priceless. So raw, you can taste the essence of the songs. Outstanding.
Absolutely fantastic live. Great showman, energy is always an exhilarating experience.
No disrespect to the album version, but this is the ultimate version of this song. I've said it since they dropped this before the album. His delivery, the clarity of the one guitar. Amazed even now
Best I've ever heard
The acoustics in that room he plays in are amazing!!
Love Claudio. Super talented musician.
this is such a heart felt and humbling moment for Claudio.!!!!this is better than the record version simply because of how raw it is!
music, I realized that there are ways to vent into songs, stories, and many other things. Coheed and Cambria brought me out of the darkest place I've been, got me back into my music, and quite literally saved my life. Thanks guys, you've been the biggest inspiration in the world for me, never stop making music.
That was seriously brilliant. Lyrically brilliant. I'm always held in awe of this music.
they've done "in keeping secrets of silent earth", in its entirety live. I'm waiting for the afterman ascension and descension in it's entirety live lol
Marcus Paul what about the black rainbow
Boyd Zimmerman ready for all of them tho
Marcus Paul GA1 Neverender when tho
Got my tickets to GAIBSIV
I've seen in keeping secrets live. It was incredible
Ive been listening to this song for 4 years?! Insane to believe its been that long since you made this video. Your music will always be timeless to me!
+Jordan Tyger I know... still listening to the second stage. Even Plan to take over the world. All of it is still so amazing.
your music always moves me and never ceases to inspire! bad ass!!!
Hearing this through my headphones for the first time made me smile, even though the lyrics stirred emotions that shouldn't have. Hearing Claudio's unfiltered voice and his passion and technique was something I didn't know I needed. Thank you for motivating me to get back into music. I give you guys all the best wishes.
my boyfriend introduced me to this band a couple of weeks ago, and honestly, i'm in love. this song makes me weep.
I love everything about this video.
How in the hell could anyone thumbs down this video?!? This is just pure fucking magic captured on video. I believe I've just had a religious experience.
The most talented man on the planet. Right here.
This song seriously gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. I haven't felt that way about a song in a long time.
i keep coming back to this song. my partner introduced me to coheed and cambria when we started dating over three years ago. this was the first song he showed me, and it completely changed me. i had never heard something like this before, and i just played it on repeat over and over. the vocals are just so beautiful and passionate, combined with the masterful guitar work just makes this song a complete masterpiece. i love his unique pronunciations and i just find myself drawn back to this song time and time again.
th-cam.com/video/I7UjlrhZ57Q/w-d-xo.html
U gotta hear this one!!! :)
0:01 - 4:54 is the best part of this video!!
This is gonna draw some flack, but I think the Afterman albums are my favorite. I think they showed their evolution and growth as a band. The concept is amazing and the lyrics are really only matched by Good Apollo vol. 1. The music is so polished and well crafted. Emotional and raw with a technical precision unmatched by many other bands. Children of the Fence rejoice in the coming of your lord Claudio!
No flack you're allowed to enjoy this wonderful band however you like
There needs to be a limit on the replay so I can move on with my life..
Still here?
@@forcedentry2010 They might not be, but I sure AF am...
Haha totally feel this comment lol its been like 3 years and I still return every week or two lol
Take that back
This was absolutely fantastic. I want more of this. Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this...acoustic with on guitar camera angle.
The sheer simplistic beauty of this video is that it is Claudio, and a guitar. he lets the song speak for itself and it sounds amazing. having heard both the studio version and this i must say i feel that this is my favorite because there is nothing more than whats right there. its like the humble jedi narwhal... its simplistic but fearful in its awe inspiring grace and power.
This is gold. And anyone paying attention to the lyrics? Deep stuff.
im alive
this line makes me cry every time
still rocking @ 2024
If I were to go gay for one man, it would most certainly be Claudio Sanchez.
ok.
Mike Waska it already happened to me,
This man knows the true ways
Him or Maynard. Whomever gets to me first lmao
Keanu Reeves
i cant stop coming back to this song. it just hits me right in the soul.
i still come back to this video every now and then. love the album version, but love all the nuances and "rawness" of this acoustic recording.
I don't feel like this song is this old, Coheed is amazing.
TIMExBANDIT I can come back to this version and fucking feel like it's the best song in the history of mankind.
goddamn claudio
TIMExBANDIT its not old ? it came out in 2012?
+Roger Dalzell I feel like it came out this year, but it's freaking 3 years old.
Ok, just one more time before bed… Maybe two..
2012... Fuck... It feels a lot more recent then that.... I'm old.
+Vikingland dude I am 342 years old. It is a feeling that never goes away.
Vikingland now February 24
every time I listen to this I love the depth and desperation Claudio is grabbing for
11 years ago?!?! Goddamn im old. I swear it feels like only 3 years ago since when I first saw this gem of a song/video when it was released lol I need a drink
god damn that was good Claudio.
sh..shpongle??
every time i try and sing this song i get waay too into it and end up at the top of my lungs >.
His kitchen's got some great acoustics
I wonder if the acoustics were a selling point on the house.
I think that he probably has Tile in his kitchen, and the sound bouncing off the tile will give the acoustic the twangy and sharp sound that this song really needs, where if you go to Atlas, the living room with the wide open space gives that echo and reverb that THAT song needs, honestly just really good choices of stages that really give the songs more depth then a studio can make.
bruh, both songs were in the same area...
Well if you look, in this video he is facing his Kitchen, and his Microphone is probably in his Kitchen also. In Atlas he is facing perpendicular to the Kitchen, in that big open area. That little of a change can make the sound pickup on a Microphone vary quite a bit. That's what I was getting at.
Robert Nitram true.
Voice of an angel I swear! I will catch you live one of these days
I don't understand, how somebody can be so talented, with only his voice and a guitar...
I liked the studio version too, but I think this will always be my favorite version
It's like you're riding his guitar in this video, haha
I was going to watch pornhub, but I decided to watch this instead.
+William Russick Both turn me on
+William Russick
What's the difference?
+William Russick Still came
Coheed porn!
+William Russick this was waaay more satisfying.
I just want to say thank you to the parents the band members of Coheed and Cambria. Thank you for bearing these children that create some of the most awesome music that exists today! Because of you, we have this! Thank you.
Every Coheed song makes me fall in love all over again. And this one is no different
So, do you always just rock out in your kitchen on a whim?
best acoustics i think
Andy Greville come to think of it, my kitchen is like that, too.
Twelve20two i wish i was that badass and could do the same!
ever since Claudio was a kid, he's been sitting with an acoustic screaming his lungs out
I do, sometimes just grab a bar stool and chill in the kitchen with my guitar and jam, mostly when no ones home though
A song for anyone that is tired of being under the thumb of someone who is full of shit. This song does so much for me.
One does not simply walk into Coheed and Cambria.
They go face first and screaming!
This still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. The acoustics in that kitchen combined with Claudio's voice is haunting.
I stood witness to the most amazing show last night at the 40 Watt in Athens, Ga. Thank you Coheed & Cambria
Pretty positive he's saying "Don't close the coffin yet! I'm alive!"
Just sayin'.
Still here in 2025
53 people have issues. Amazing.
Just watched this 13 times in a row on auto-replay. About an hour later, still listening. GREAT TRACK GUYS!
Thanks Claud. This was magic when I first heard it, and it still is.
Thought he said horker meat. Been playing too much skyrim!
ohhh homecoming!
I don't really know why, but after reading Sentry's story I cry like a little bitch while listening to this song
on a scale of 1-10 Claudio only knows 11.
Beautiful... I don't know what else to say, a tale to behold any writer or poet.
Why is Claudio so magical? This has aged so well still gives the chills!!
2024 checking in
You good? Hope this year was better for you than mine.
2024 check in
Can somebody tell me wich kind of strings is he using? Thank you.
sounds like D'Addarios....light guage? maybe.
Definitely D'addarios.
Do you know what kind of guitar he's using? I wanna play this, but when I tune down to B my guitar sounds like poop
Gabriel Cabral guitar strings...
You can hear Claudio breathe in the beginning. And those High Notes are so Beautiful...
this is why i love coheed always coming out with the best music so deep and awesome. cant wait to see this live.
2:40 learnin on guitar dont mind me.
Did you tab this out my man? This is where i'm at :D
70 people dislike 5 o'clock shadow. That's the only reason for the dislikes.
We need more of this. Seriously, if any message could get to them, it would be we need more of this.
Great music, great voice, is a wonderful combination ...
i clicked on the video expecting to see a music video, but i did not leave disappointed. love this.
I saw them and met them at the Irvine, CA stop of the Uproar Music festival. They where amazing! Ended up going to the San Diego stop as well lol! Front row seats didn't hurt either! great band and love this song! Very powerful lyrics!
Nothing better than raw, acoustic talent! Love it!
One of the last conversations I ever had with someone who was closer to me than my own brother was when he shared this song and we were so excited for the album release. He soon after ran off to another state to escape his shit home life and we lost touch. I don't even know what became of him. 12 years ago? I'm not crying, you're crying. Miss you kiddo. 💜
Abosolutely fantastic, the sounds that he can get out of that guitar are epic. cannot wait for the new cd.
words can not describe how much I absolutely love this with every part of my being. PERFECTION right there!!
Praise the word of our lord and savior, Claudio.
And we are not worthy senior claudio, love this song so much.
I remember when this song had just came out I was in class and could not stop hearing it was to amazing!!!
I can't stop playing this song, I love his Vocals and his style of playing just gets to me
Greetings from 2020, still one of most passionate musician perfomance I have seen.
