+Asma Khan That's not remotely true. look at Green Day, they still have it together. The whole world needs to hear this glory, it might be the only chance we have ro make people know how angels sound like
I love the energy of this song. AWOL is such a good band, they do a bit of everything and the do it WELL. I don't like all their stuff, but the ones I do like... they hit me where I live 😍
is it sad that i was watching Aaron sing, looked down, then realised i was wearing the exact same shirt, and that made me happier than i have been in months?
Their first album might be the best overall album of all time...literally every song is good. Though the block that starts with this song, and ends with It's not your fault is just perfection.
it doesn't matter all these guys need to do is jump on someone's shoulders and you will be12 feet deep. please AWOL keep making music. I hope this makes sense. Huge fan.
I just turned 26 and awolnation is one of my favorite bands. They have a way of illiciting emotion from me that I haven't experienced consistently with any other band. So many of their songs are pure beauty.
AWOLNATION is my new obsession group. I usually have just obsession songs, but all their songs are great so I have to say they're my new obsession group. I guess SAIL is still my favorite, but Jump on My Shoulders is very close.
I love this song so much. The energetic begining, the solemn refrain, and the "It's not supposed to be easy, that's why it feels so fucking good!" part was just the perfect ending. What a song.
Oh, great another song to fall in love with today. I am on overload as it is.. lol I love love love the la la la la la la's...I love that in a song. I am so glad I discovered you guys, don't know how I let you slip over or under my radar these past years, but..I finally found you. One magical night listening to your Panoramic View, I woke up. :)
Ladies, ladies, please calm down! If you're honestly a fan of AWOLATION you shouldn't be arguing about this. You should know that AWOL encourages his fans to interpret all of his music as they see fit. There is no wrong or right answer.
"It's not supposed to be easy. That's why it feels so fucking good." Adding this to my list of favorite quotes that I surely have tucked away somewhere.
This song is about coming together. Robbing from the rich and giving it to the poor is to create more of an even surface where everyone can be happy and everyone lives in harmony by supporting each other. Don't take this song too literally.
Requence Buddez i actually think the chorus is very sarcastic.. there's a mad man (obama) and how hes pushing welfare and such. then the chorus sarcastic.. Ill say the devil has lost control.. obama with his socialistic policies and it has got crazy..its not supposed to be easy, thats why it feels so fucking good.. meaning, no it's not easy. but if u work hard, success will come and it will feel a lot better cashing your own checks then cashing welfare checks
I am a person who usually listens to a lot of abstract hip hop, but I just got Megalithic Symphony a few hours ago and i am already loving it. I think it is an album that almost anyone can appreciate.
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, but I know now that I will never be as worthy as Aaron Bruno is to be a musician. This guy is just amazing from what I've seen.
Aaron Bruno is sooooo awesome! Without his songs, this world would be just a little bit worse than it already is. These songs totally brighten my day. (plus hes really cute)
Saw them in New Mexico at the Sunshine theater the other night. Explosive energy, amazing opening act, & just a phenomenal show overall. Best show I've ever been 2!!
I used to hate AWOLNATION bc of Sail but that was 8 years ago now look at me downloading all their songs and transferring them over to my Kyocera so I can focus on something other than Harambe or Bantu
Connor Swatzyna THAT. IS. MAJESTIC AND AMAZING... That is soooooo cool Edited: guess what... I paused this video to comment on this and when I resumed it he said "it's not supposed to be easy" 😂
Nobody I knows has ever heard of this band, and we listen to a wide variety of music. The only song my friends no is Sail and everyone knows that one. I love all their music
Okay, so I just saw this after seeing the video for Sail, and taking the lyrics of this song into context with the Sail visuals, it seems like the band is on some sort of anti-illimunati or anti-new world order crusade. And then around 2:20, he, a bit flippantly , does the hand sign thing ( that's supposed to be occultic), while singing that the devil's lost control... He also puts his hands together in a way that evokes memories of Jayz doing the roc-a-fella sign... Its like he's kinda mocking them... Or at least thats the vibe I get... But then again, I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist
On the song "hollow moon (bad wolf)" he says, "imma make a deal with the bad wolf". That could mean making a deal with the devil. Also in the song "i am" he says, "these friends of mine i've overpaid". That could mean that he sold his soul.
Yeah he does all that...cynical, sarcastic, and genuine all mixed up together. Have you seen the dripping cynicism/sarcasm in Kill Your Heroes? It's awesome. I think he embodies everything Gen X. Like we care alot about some things, and then we don't care at all about other stupid sh*t. Love it 💖
soooo i bought tickets way in advance to see ya'll but I'm in dallas for nursing school and cant come back in time for my psych clinical....SAD SAD DAY! Till then my favorite band ill be waiting for more music
I think my favorite line is at the end: "It's not supposed to be easy, that's why it feels so fuckin' good!" Perfect use of the f bomb, awesome statement, just ties the song together for me for some reason.
What I love most about this album is you can listen to the entire album and it's not just one or two good songs on the entire album.I'm looking forward to there next album that comes out in 2014.
AHHHH!!! That's Kansas City at the beginning! I was looking at it for the longest time wondering why it looked so familiar and then i was like, "Oh wait, I live there!"
Jesus, i am ridiculously impressed with how many Music Videos Awolnation has made. I mean most bands usually make one or maybe two videos of songs per album, but this is just ridiculous. It's fucking awesome to actually see a band make videos of more than just the one or two songs they dedicate singles, YOU GUYS ROCK!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Awolnation are so underrated
+Kaelah Peters Awolnation si the best band EVER
+Kaelah Peters thats GOOD. Let's let it stay that way. Overrated bands start losing it
+Asma Khan That's not remotely true. look at Green Day, they still have it together. The whole world needs to hear this glory, it might be the only chance we have ro make people know how angels sound like
+Kaelah Peters Agreed
+New Spark I'm all for spreading the good word of AWOLNATION, but the only angel on this planet (as far as I know) is Veela. Search her up.
Seriously, its not supposed to be easy...that's why it feels so fucking good! Great words to keep in mind while going through life!

3:47 the line!
AWOLNATION is my favorite band since 2011
They are incredible
This dude has an impressive voice.
We are still here... we are still fighting...
Time to blow down the doors.
i can't stop smiling listening this. he's so perfect
As I feel to now 😃
They are WICKED. Should be way more popular 'cause they totally deserve it
This song speaks to me in ways I can't explain.
God, this was so long ago. Time flies but God my love for this band has stayed the same. Always and forever AWOLNATION. #middleschool
long? what about now, friend? XD
Everyone needs to see these guys live, period. Absolutely amazing.
I’ve been sleeping on this album for the past 10 years. It’s my first time listening to it all the way through.
It's because the devil's lost control they are my absolute favorite band and I pray for them too
This song is such a banger dude.
i love awolnation
good
ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE EASY, THATS WHY IT FEELS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!
+alpacamybags SO JUST DO IT!!!!! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!
Wow, a band who doesn't sing about sex drugs and desire! no MTV shit? FANTASTIC! I love it!
I've listened to every single one of their songs and I can tell you one thing: Aaron Bruno can write a frickin song!
I love the energy of this song. AWOL is such a good band, they do a bit of everything and the do it WELL. I don't like all their stuff, but the ones I do like... they hit me where I live 😍
0:31 - Round Won
Ayyyyy
lol i am going to buy that music kit but anyway its so good
Туууууууууу у у у уууу ууууууу
I bought that music kit as a meme and I'm now a massive awolnation fan xD
lmao, lol
is it sad that i was watching Aaron sing, looked down, then realised i was wearing the exact same shirt, and that made me happier than i have been in months?
Getting some mad 2011/2012 nostalgia watching these video vs. just listening to the songs. Seen my boy five times since I first saw this video.
Awolnation came to Phoenix and I was a little disappointed that they didn't play this song. The concert was still unreal. It was phenomenal.
Their first album might be the best overall album of all time...literally every song is good. Though the block that starts with this song, and ends with It's not your fault is just perfection.
BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN......EVER!!!! It is most recommended to go AWOL as soon as you can!!!
Thank you for keeping me happy while I work!
it doesn't matter all these guys need to do is jump on someone's shoulders and you will be12 feet deep. please AWOL keep making music. I hope this makes sense. Huge fan.
Wow this song literally makes me smile, that is a huge rarity in music nowadays
I'm fourteen and I absolutely LOVE AwolNation. It's not all of us that listen to BS.
This is definitely real music!
I just turned 26 and awolnation is one of my favorite bands. They have a way of illiciting emotion from me that I haven't experienced consistently with any other band. So many of their songs are pure beauty.
Man! You’re 33 now!
@@laurencezemlick1979 yep, thats true lol
37!!
@@CJ-sw8lc yep, your math is impeccable
@@MrPants432 😊 Anything interesting happened in the last 11 years?
Genius song.. Gotta admit
im going to buy this album, this guy totally deserves my money
holy shit the whole album is just so fucking good, you guys are too good i dont think you guys are real...
This NEEDS to be their next single
"It's not supposed to be easy. That's why it feels so fucking good." This officially a part of my quote collection.
AWOLNATION is my new obsession group. I usually have just obsession songs, but all their songs are great so I have to say they're my new obsession group. I guess SAIL is still my favorite, but Jump on My Shoulders is very close.
IT'S Definitely MY New Obsession NOW too.
There isn't a single song of AWOLNATION's that isn't likable. They are fantastic... Keep on rocking AWOLNATION!!!!
Great song, great message too
I love this song so much. The energetic begining, the solemn refrain, and the "It's not supposed to be easy, that's why it feels so fucking good!" part was just the perfect ending. What a song.
this is my "jam out really hard in my car" song...fucking love it
I cannot get ENOUGHHHH of this song it’s everything I know and love about this band. Pure eargasm worthy.
love this band. only recently came across them and have to say they are superb
Dave Bond do you still listen to them now two years later?
Oh, great another song to fall in love with today. I am on overload as it is.. lol I love love love the la la la la la la's...I love that in a song. I am so glad I discovered you guys, don't know how I let you slip over or under my radar these past years, but..I finally found you. One magical night listening to your Panoramic View, I woke up. :)
I'm restraining myself from getting up and dancing...my laptop would break and then no more AWOLNATION :'(
Can't wait for this concert! !!! me and my daughter are going to SAIL!!!
Thass my city boiiii. Love KC!!
That was an amazing show. I was there at the Kansas City show and it blew my mind.
Awolnation is the next Robin Hood ^.^
Ladies, ladies, please calm down! If you're honestly a fan of AWOLATION you shouldn't be arguing about this. You should know that AWOL encourages his fans to interpret all of his music as they see fit. There is no wrong or right answer.
Ayo who else here going back to nostalgic music or just good music in general?
Dear AWOL, thanks for helping me in my sobriety.
Awesome song, reminds me of Robin Hood as well, ''Rob from the rich, dance with the poor.''
"It's not supposed to be easy. That's why it feels so fucking good."
Adding this to my list of favorite quotes that I surely have tucked away somewhere.

Its all an allegory for capitalism. Don't fall for its lies.
I am a person who usually listens to a lot of abstract hip hop, but I just got Megalithic Symphony a few hours ago and i am already loving it. I think it is an album that almost anyone can appreciate.
If I led a political party I'd want to use this as the anthem.
Same tbh and it’s getting me pumped to vote today
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, but I know now that I will never be as worthy as Aaron Bruno is to be a musician. This guy is just amazing from what I've seen.
The city was Kansas City! I live there!
Aaron Bruno is sooooo awesome! Without his songs, this world would be just a little bit worse than it already is. These songs totally brighten my day. (plus hes really cute)
"Round won" track in Cs Go by Awolnation Music Kit
Whoo! Kansas City represent! So cool that you guys filmed this at the Midland, one of my favorite venues. :D Keep on rocking, guys. :D
Kansas City!
That was 'The Midland' that I saw, wasn't it !!??!!
Holy crap! What an awesome new band! Easily the best new band over the past 12 months!!!
Why the fuck this band is so addictive!?!?!
IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM
These guys are making the best alternative music in a long time.
A mad man with a blue box, perhaps?
Oh, and don't forget that Bad Wolf.
I liek dis
why not both?
+Abomination why does the mad man want to take my soul???
The Golden Man Nate Dunning He obviously needs it to combat some thing or other, I don't quite know the details...
Hayden Of Hell yeeeeeeessssss
I don't think I've ever found a band with consistently good music on one album!
need. more. views.
views. more. need.
more. need. views.
Saw them in New Mexico at the Sunshine theater the other night. Explosive energy, amazing opening act, & just a phenomenal show overall. Best show I've ever been 2!!
I used to hate AWOLNATION bc of Sail but that was 8 years ago now look at me downloading all their songs and transferring them over to my Kyocera so I can focus on something other than Harambe or Bantu
Leigh Kumpe why you hate sail lol
Leigh Rylan Kumpe omg too funny.
Love the ambiguity of the lyrics.... Interpretation is unique to us all. The sign of genius. THANK YOU AWOL
I was doing Math Homework while listening to this and a big and difficult problem came up right as he said, "It's not supposed to be easy."
***** NOOO WAYYYYYYYY
I'm doing math homework 2 XD
Connor Swatzyna THAT. IS. MAJESTIC AND AMAZING... That is soooooo cool
Edited: guess what... I paused this video to comment on this and when I resumed it he said "it's not supposed to be easy" 😂
Yeah yeah no it didnt
And that's why, when you figure it out and its right, it feels so fucking good.
I'm young and this is one of my favorite bands. Not all of us are musically challenged.
I just bought the CS:GO music kit and came to this song just because of it!
Nobody I knows has ever heard of this band, and we listen to a wide variety of music. The only song my friends no is Sail and everyone knows that one. I love all their music
Okay, so I just saw this after seeing the video for Sail, and taking the lyrics of this song into context with the Sail visuals, it seems like the band is on some sort of anti-illimunati or anti-new world order crusade.

But then again, I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist
***** You are REALLY reading thing into the lyrics to coincide with your religion eh?
On the song "hollow moon (bad wolf)" he says, "imma make a deal with the bad wolf". That could mean making a deal with the devil. Also in the song "i am" he says, "these friends of mine i've overpaid". That could mean that he sold his soul.

How does this not have 1 billion views? Screw gangam style, this deserves the spot!
And, after all, I still think about The Doctor when I listen the word madman.
Whovians are where you least expect! Love it!
Wow! What an awesome new band! Easily the best new band over the past 12 months!!!
this song makes me feel like im winning
It actually is the music that plays when you when a round if you have the AWOLNATION music kit in the game Counterstrike Global Offensive
I know that,cus i bought the kit ;)
soooo i bought tickets way in advance to see ya'll but I'm in dallas for nursing school and cant come back in time for my psych clinical....SAD SAD DAY! Till then my favorite band ill be waiting for more music
TY GOSU :)
this was the only reason i spent thirty dollars to see them at point-fest last year, to see no one else but awol....so fuckin awesome
Someone listening on 2019? ♥
Yup
Heck yeah!
2020
I think my favorite line is at the end: "It's not supposed to be easy, that's why it feels so fuckin' good!"
Perfect use of the f bomb, awesome statement, just ties the song together for me for some reason.
Thresh op
They really are amazing. The big 'AN' in the background is so sweet....
Is this meant to be a Robin Hood
NO, its AWOLNATION
What I love most about this album is you can listen to the entire album and it's not just one or two good songs on the entire album.I'm looking forward to there next album that comes out in 2014.
gorillaz and awolnation are the best
These guys look awesome in concert. I'll have to see them one day.
gg
AHHHH!!! That's Kansas City at the beginning! I was looking at it for the longest time wondering why it looked so familiar and then i was like, "Oh wait, I live there!"
listen to this song in 1.5 speed
or in 2, its even crazier
1,25 is better
Midgetooni 1 is best
I love you.
it sounds better
Jesus, i am ridiculously impressed with how many Music Videos Awolnation has made. I mean most bands usually make one or maybe two videos of songs per album, but this is just ridiculous. It's fucking awesome to actually see a band make videos of more than just the one or two songs they dedicate singles, YOU GUYS ROCK!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
this song is a reference to robin hood
+stampylonghead Junior duhh
i've gone awol. you are my FAVORITE!
& thank you for coming to KC. we loved you :)
Trump on my shoulders
you sir are now one of the nicest people I know.
who else come here because of CS:GO music kit ?
+Bronx Hutagalung Is this song in the kit?
+Iron Triangles Yup, It plays when you win a round, minus the lyrics.
Crossby Chan!
Did you buy the kit?
Crossby Chan! I bought this, i regret nothing, the countless comments ingame on how awesome the MVP song is XD
+Iron Triangles Yup 👌
Never heard of this band before. Glad I stumbled upon this!
