I love jesus, and this song. Hey if you believe in god and have faith in Jesus Christ try meditating and connecting with Jesus instead of reading or listening to what people say. It's a lovely connection. This music helps a lot of miserable people just enjoy.
+telletwa well telle is an amazing song and it has very deep and personal meaning to alot of your fans keep up the good work man you guys are kickin some major ass here
Thank you guys for being so amazing and patient, the hashtag #Entirety is trending on twitter right now which has never happened for TWA. I know that might not be the coolest thing in the world, but to us, it's very humbling. Thank you for supporting our band, we hope you like this song and the rest on Life Cycles
and for that reason you're easily one of my favorite vocalists if not my most favorite. I still have yet to meet you in person. The last time you guys came to my town was around February of last year and you were sick with a throat infection I believe it was. I don't blame you for getting sick of course but you guys need to come back to Poughkeepsie, NY so I can finally meet you.
This song has nothing to do with Religion its about Telle's girlfriend. www.rocksound.tv/features/read/track-by-track-the-word-alive-life-cycles "In January of 2011 I met my now girlfriend, it was funny because neither of us wanted to be in a relationship. Both of us were focusing on our own lives, as well as our careers. We met through mutual friends, and it just kept making more and more sense as we got to know each other. Everything kept progressing, and somehow we ended up together. We've talked every day since the first day we met in fact. This song was truly the first love song I've ever written. Tony [Pizzuti, guitar] sent me this song right before Christmas of 2011, I fell in love with it. I didn't want it to be cheesy however or sappy, instead the song is about how two people who don't have any intention often end up falling in love. It's hard trusting someone else, but you've gotta risk it to get the reward. I know that doesn't sound too 'metal' of me haha, but in all honesty it's the greatest feeling in the world. I think this song is one our collective favorites on the record. It's got a metal groove to it that we've never tried before and it came out great."
About time that someone from a band that I love stays connected with their fans :) That's what most bands are missing cause they get the attitude that they're better than everyone else.
I just reviewed The Word Alive's new album "Real." on my channel. Would like to hear what everyone else is thinking about it, check it out and leave a comment!
To tell you the truth Telle.. Ive listened to all of your previous songs before Life Cycles.. and i must say that Life Cycles is my favorite and very well written in each song. Great job Telle and great job to the rest of the band! :)
You believe in God? Cool. Oh, you don't? That's cool too. You believe in reincarnation? Also cool. You don't respect other people's beliefs? That's not fucking cool. Believe what ever the fuck you want but learn to respect other people's beliefs too.
amen man, judging people on their beliefs is just wrong. We need more people to believe that just because someone doesn't believe the same thing you do that makes them wrong, when in truth it doesn't. I think it just ignorant to think that way
Oh my GOD! I had my hair standing up the whole entire time! I seriously can NOT wait for this album! I am so excited, July 3rd needs to hurry up! I am so proud to be a part of The Word Alive family :)
This song is excellent. A great change of pace for The Word Alive. So much meaning that just didn't seem present in their previous albums. Its very good.
More synth, and their synth player is showing off more of his skill, more tricks are being used on the guitars, drums are almost done perfectly with the songs they've made. This is their best album yet.
I saw the guys live at my first concert last school year, it was my senior year. I had never heard of them before and all the bands before them I didn't really care for they weren't that great. Then these guys come on and without saying anything they just start playing I don't know what song but it was so badass. And I now love these guys cause they made my first concert one of the best nights of my life.
I love all your stuff but i have to agree, this is the best stuff you guys have put out. Its great to see a band that you respond to your fans and haters and stand of for yourself. Keep doing what you love guys! It's all about loving what you're doing. Being in the AZ scene i hope to be where you guys are one day! Much Respect.
To everyone arguing about religion, just because a band doesn't categorize themselves as a Christian band or promote Christianity doesn't mean that the members don't have faith. What I've seen form listening to The Word Alive; many of their songs are faith oriented but adversely, many are not. Their songs that are in fact faith oriented with a positive message are only subtly influencing the listener to make their own judgement about the meaning. So please no more arguing it doesn't matter.
Second time a song had me wondering if I wrote the lyrics or not. Oddly enough, both the first song and this one are by The Word Alive. Can't wait to hear the album. It'll surely blow me away!
I just have to say you guys are my favorite band. The first concert I ever went to was last year when you were doing the Fearless Friends tour. You guys blew me away. I do love this album, I've listened to it so much my girlfriend has started getting mad. I really like to see that you guys reach out to fans. It shows you care, and that is why you will always be one of my favorite bands. Forgive me for my comment, it sounded worse than I intended.
I love The Word Alive. You guys are amazing, and Telle, thanks for being so involved with the fans! Being down to earth makes you even better. PS your vocals are beast.
Telle's vocals have really "matured" (for lack of a better word). I not only hear but also feel what he's singing and screaming. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
Hope in humanity from these guys, saw them tonight at philly and after the concert me and my friend were getting soda, when a drunk man began harassing us, and a few bands members from The Word Alive told him to back off and then asked us if we were okay. some cool dudes there...keep rocking!
I just ordered a bundle....Your guy's band will be the first band that i own a shirt too. And the only band in which i buy ALL of your stuff (times are tough)
this song is amazing, the lyrics are inspirational and can easily relate to, can't wait to see them all summer long on the all star tour. literally just bought the pre-order bundle with the shirt that says "we're here to fight/ we're here to save your life"
I always read every comment on youtube/fb/twitter, it was always a goal of mine to stay connected with what our fans were saying, to only better serve the people who continue to support what myself and the band does.
I met these guys at Warped Tour last year, I wasn't really feeling their style until I saw them live at warped. My whole perception of them and their music changed as soon as I heard the first note. I remember when I met them they actually took the time to talk to me and my friend (unlike Asking Alexandria). Mentioned how the shirt I was getting was their favorite too and all of them signed it and talked to us for a few mins.Hoping to see you at Summerfest. Can't wait to hear your new album.
Well i got your autograph and got to talk to you at one of the Utah shows you did. It was awesome getting to meet you. You really are an awesome person!
I really need to get my pre-order for this album soon. I'm super stoked for this album. I can't wait to see them on the All Stars Tour this summer. It's been too long since I've seen them!
"I wouldn’t label us a Christian band, but we’re guys that believe in Jesus, and that’s our beliefs." That is a quote from The Color Morale's former bassist Anthony Wick. The full quote is on their Wikipedia.
These guys turned out quite impressive this time around (I haven't listened to these guys in such a long time, ever since I went to college....maybe a revisit should be arranged)
"Feelings are a Deadly thing, When you fail to give yourself to something" I love that part so much :) but the rest is really strong and outstanding. I order your guys bundle and I'm excited to get it
I've been so excited for this album since they announced that they were coming out for it. I think that The Word Alive has done something great with this album and I'm proud to be one of their fans. I'm hoping I can get the bigger pre-order bundle and that I'll get to see them on the All Stars Tour, but I'm not sure how that's going to work out. For now though I can't wait for this album so I can listen to all the other fabulous tracks on it.
Deciever was an absolute marvel of a debut album. It is difficult to accept a change in a groups formula, however, Life Cycles still showcases thoughtful and candid lyrics, merciful shredding, and more mature vocal work.
This song has grown on me so much. I've always loved TWA but I don't think I've ever had as much respect for them as I do now. Not only have they grown as a band but as everyone can see, they do their best to stay in touch with their fans. Telle is a perfect example of what every musician should be like. In no way has any of their success gotten to their heads and they are easily the best band in their genre. I personally can't wait for the All Stars Tour and Life Cycles is going to be so sick!
I love jesus, and this song. Hey if you believe in god and have faith in Jesus Christ try meditating and connecting with Jesus instead of reading or listening to what people say. It's a lovely connection. This music helps a lot of miserable people just enjoy.
Love hearing you guys sing along to a song that means so much to me!
My nigga
+telletwa Telle! :D
+telletwa well telle is an amazing song and it has very deep and personal meaning to alot of your fans keep up the good work man you guys are kickin some major ass here

the best lyrics video ever
Mother of God.... This song legitimately gave me chills within the first 4 words!
I don't think it really matters what the songs really about but what the song means to you
one of the most powerful songs I've every heard. Life Cycles is one of my favorite albums of all time.
This song has nothing to do with Religion its about Telle's girlfriend.

This is the best thing since sliced bread!!
The Word Alive is such a great band and this song is absolutely perf. I'm about eighty times more excited for All Stars now!
Telle Smith is Amazing....
You know a band is good when the beginning of a song sends chills through your body, and its your first time listening to it... THANK YOU TWA!!! :)
I just reviewed The Word Alive's new album "Real." on my channel. Would like to hear what everyone else is thinking about it, check it out and leave a comment!
To tell you the truth Telle.. Ive listened to all of your previous songs before Life Cycles.. and i must say that Life Cycles is my favorite and very well written in each song. Great job Telle and great job to the rest of the band! :)
Does anyone know which software you can use to make a lyric video like this ?
search up how to do kinetic typography and you need adobe after effects
Thanks buddy
The Word Alive does such a great job when producing their instruments with the vocals. The mixing in this song is perfect.
Good song especially when im upset
just downloaded the album, i can honestly say its going to be one of the best of 2012. you guys did not disappoint.
Yer awl Oi HHHHEEEEEEAAAAAVVVVVEEEEE
I love the way the vocals are done on this song, very genuine and innovative and the instrumental is just beautiful.
You believe in God? Cool. Oh, you don't? That's cool too. You believe in reincarnation? Also cool. You don't respect other people's beliefs? That's not fucking cool. Believe what ever the fuck you want but learn to respect other people's beliefs too.

bro, calm down...
its about Telle's girlfriend...
Oh my GOD! I had my hair standing up the whole entire time! I seriously can NOT wait for this album! I am so excited, July 3rd needs to hurry up! I am so proud to be a part of The Word Alive family :)
The Word Alive was probably one of the best bands live and that's no lie either keep up the work guys.
Telle has one of the best voices in this genre. He is able to sing with emotion and many bands can't do that
This song is excellent. A great change of pace for The Word Alive. So much meaning that just didn't seem present in their previous albums. Its very good.
More synth, and their synth player is showing off more of his skill, more tricks are being used on the guitars, drums are almost done perfectly with the songs they've made. This is their best album yet.
This will be the album of the summer!! So stoked for it. One of the best live bands i've ever seen!!
That is by far the coolest thing I have ever read. Much respect to you Telle.
The Word Alive Is such a talented band I swear! I love them so much. Hopefully I'll see them play again soon!
wow what a song... just when you think their last album couldn't get any better, they're coming back stronger than ever
I saw the guys live at my first concert last school year, it was my senior year. I had never heard of them before and all the bands before them I didn't really care for they weren't that great. Then these guys come on and without saying anything they just start playing I don't know what song but it was so badass. And I now love these guys cause they made my first concert one of the best nights of my life.
This song has really grown on me. Really looking forward to hearing the full album
Man i could already tell Life Cycles is going to be on repeat for me all summer long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really love this song. His growls and screams are incredible, and I also love it when he sings.
I just saw them live and his vocals sounded the best they ever have live.
Saw them live, we were all jumping and singing along the chorus. Love those moments
I still can't get over how good this song is.
Can't listen to this enough. Stoked for the new album. Can't come out soon enough. Keep on rocking, TWA!
I love all your stuff but i have to agree, this is the best stuff you guys have put out. Its great to see a band that you respond to your fans and haters and stand of for yourself. Keep doing what you love guys! It's all about loving what you're doing.
Being in the AZ scene i hope to be where you guys are one day! Much Respect.

Ughhh, this is the definition of beautiful.
I love The Word Alive. You guys are amazing, and Telle, thanks for being so involved with the fans! Being down to earth makes you even better. PS your vocals are beast.
I don't think this song has any religious undertone (I could be wrong). But I think of Christ when listening to this.
is it me? or can anyone else see that these guys have come far and have made better music over the years.
Telle's vocals have really "matured" (for lack of a better word). I not only hear but also feel what he's singing and screaming. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album!
I love music that gives me chills such as this.
This song is so amazing can't wait till the full album already have a pre-order just a couple more weeks!
Wow. I never found a song that fits me more than THIS song. Amazing.
Hope in humanity from these guys, saw them tonight at philly and after the concert me and my friend were getting soda, when a drunk man began harassing us, and a few bands members from The Word Alive told him to back off and then asked us if we were okay. some cool dudes there...keep rocking!
This song makes me want to cry. A lot. Not many songs can do that to me.
I just ordered a bundle....Your guy's band will be the first band that i own a shirt too. And the only band in which i buy ALL of your stuff (times are tough)
This will be the their BEST ALBUM FOR SURE!!!!!!
Who needs video clips? This is so much more awesome.
this song is amazing, the lyrics are inspirational and can easily relate to, can't wait to see them all summer long on the all star tour. literally just bought the pre-order bundle with the shirt that says "we're here to fight/ we're here to save your life"

Well i got your autograph and got to talk to you at one of the Utah shows you did. It was awesome getting to meet you. You really are an awesome person!
this song made me cry... the lyrics are very deep... but this song is amazing
i love them how they are now, and how they were back then. you just have to realize that bands age over time and thats just how it is.
I love this song so much. I cant wait to see them August 19th at the All Stars Tour.
The high scream on "have" is KILLER
I really need to get my pre-order for this album soon. I'm super stoked for this album. I can't wait to see them on the All Stars Tour this summer. It's been too long since I've seen them!
"I wouldn’t label us a Christian band, but we’re guys that believe in Jesus, and that’s our beliefs." That is a quote from The Color Morale's former bassist Anthony Wick. The full quote is on their Wikipedia.
This is a perfect song. I can't wait to BUY the album. Telle, if you see this, great work. This sounds fantastic.
It's frightening how much I can relate to this song.
One of the best songs that i still come back to all these years later
Telle's vocals never cease to amaze me. Even though this isn't my favorite, it's still incredible. keep it up guys :D
A great "metal" song that hits me hard. A lot of connection with a personal struggle I'm going through.
These guys turned out quite impressive this time around (I haven't listened to these guys in such a long time, ever since I went to college....maybe a revisit should be arranged)
"Feelings are a deadly thing."
Couldn't agree more
This band NEVER dissapoints me :)
tHE wORD aLIVE IS SO AWESOME! I NEED TO SEE THEM IN CONCERT AGAIN!
You're always on TH-cam commenting, it's so cool that you're for the fans.
The screams sounds so pleasant some reason like when he screams "Its not something you can prepare for"
every time I listen to this it just gets better and better!! omg why is this happening !
if you ever have the chance to hear them live... Use it! these guys are better live than in the studio!
"Feelings are a Deadly thing,
When you fail to give yourself to something"
I love that part so much :) but the rest is really strong and outstanding. I order your guys bundle and I'm excited to get it
No, The Word Alive is the king of the world, and its crumbling down.
I've been so excited for this album since they announced that they were coming out for it. I think that The Word Alive has done something great with this album and I'm proud to be one of their fans.

I know they are and we appreciate it even more so, thank you!

Cant wait for the All Stars Tour! So excited to get my pre order stuff in the mail :D
This song is absolutely amazing!

sucks for you, its my favorite on the entire album. i can listen to this over and over. good work TWA
A day to remember is amzing, but so is the word alive. Cant we all enjoy screamo together?
New song released on my birthday! :D Today is my day!
Stoked to see these guys on the All Stars Tour!! :D
So good
God is everything you need and ever will want . :D
Can't wait to see them at all stars!
This is awesome!! I'm new to this band but I like what I hear.
This left me breathless .
Telle is pretty much my role model.. I love how unlike most bands, telle actually tries to connect with his fans.
