      a lot of live videos have a bit of pre production done to them before being released. Its pretty likely that they did a neater live attempt (not studio quality) to overlay on the video

    @RABBITSweeTz 12 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Whether you think Amity are good live or not, you can't deny that an Amity show is one of the most passionate shows. Out of all the shows I've been to, nothing tops Amity. The atmosphere is just something else. It's the best sense of community I've ever experienced.

  • @iFindurFears
    @iFindurFears 11 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      @michaelhaman8113 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    • @thehunterstruck

    This is the first song that I heard from The Amity Affliction, way back in 2011. This is the song that began my journey with this amazing, phenomenal fucking band. Their music has gotten me through some of the hardest, most trying times of my life, because their music was all I had.

  • @jomargarbo0630
    @jomargarbo0630 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is the best live version of Open Letter. With that great performance they had. And the best crowd to sing with. 😊

  • @Jaffa13666
    @Jaffa13666 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have to agree
    My mate dragged me along to Pushover in Melbourne this past Monday and out of all the bands that played, Amity stood out the most. Not because they were headlining and played last. Just something about their set stood out to the rest.

  • @afdaguitardude
    @afdaguitardude 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    There's a reason these guys are on Roadrunner Records and not something like Rise or Facedown. Not there is something wrong with those labels. I love them.

  • @GOPACKERSJT
    @GOPACKERSJT 11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Holy crap. A band with great production quality on their album, that can actually sing and do the whole song live without sucking? I love these guys even more now!

    @rae5416 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    It was an amazing experience seeing them preform this song last week. Words cannot describe how grateful I am too see them. It sounds over used but they really did help me live that extra day, I'd love to thank them in person.

  • @nnatal666

    This is so much better than the music video for the song, not that I dislike the music video, but this has a lot more passion.

  • @religiouspenis
    @religiouspenis 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    These guys will always have the best live shows. Everything about it is just great. It gives you goosebumps to see and hear everyone screaming at the top of their lungs. You can see the passion, and it's just something you don't ever forget. Everyone their has had that same low point that you have had, that's the reason they listen to Amity. And to see everyone just screaming and singing a long with the people that saved their lives. It's priceless

  • @Shawn-oh5yq
    @Shawn-oh5yq 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    These guys are criminally underrated.

  • @GreasySalad
    @GreasySalad 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Exactly. And they sound very identical to how they do on the record. That's why I love this band so much. They don't over edit themselves on albums.

  • @cr0502subtitulosx
    @cr0502subtitulosx 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think is very disrespectful to say that TAA is better than PD. Both bands are insane and they're both in another level talking about live performances. Australia is the one who is winning here, anyway. Thank you Australia. My life is complete because of the bands that you send to my ears every single fucking day!

    • @mattjohnson5568
      @mattjohnson5568 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I saw them at rod laver arena in december, no stage presence at all. Singing about shit suicide songs and clean vocals are horrible...

    This is my open letter
    This is something to remember
    I won't be buried before my time
    I'm not searching for forever
    I've got my eyes opened wide
    I've been searching under rubble from the past
    Just looking for a reason to make your life last
    No need to look skyward for you to find hope
    No need for redemption to be saved from the rope
    Fuck no
    I'm not searching the sky for a reason to live
    'Cause I found beauty right here and found the passion to give
    So let me give you my heart, let me give you my tears
    Let me give you my life, let me give you my fears
    Just so you can hold on and sing while I do
    Sing these words out so loud
    Like I sing them for you
    This is your open letter, something to remember
    We can still keep on fighting even though life is not forever
    I'm not searching the sky for a reason to live
    'Cause I found beauty right here and found the passion to give
    So let me give you my heart, let me give you my tears
    Let me give you my life, let me give you my fears
    This is my open letter, this is something to remember
    This is my open letter, I'm not searching for forever
    I'm not searching the sky for a reason to live
    'Cause I found beauty right here and found the passion to give
    So let me give you my heart, let me give you my tears
    Let me give you my life, let me give you my fears
    One more time
    I'm not searching the sky for a reason to live
    'Cause I found beauty right here and found the passion to give
    So let me give you my heart, let me give you my tears
    Let me give you my life, let me give you my fears
