My mother was unfaithful to my father at a young age. We tried moving on, trying to keep it together, but I could see that my father didn't have love for her anymore, he faked love in front of me because he felt it would have been best for a young child to keep his parents. At said young age, he continually came up to me and put her down, making me disrespect her. Being the most important figure in my life, I listened to him. We were supposed to move on from that horrific day. For years I've tried to put my feelings into words. If you look at these lyrics, they can't describe me any better. I feel like I'm Myles Kennedy singing this TO my father. Now, as a grown man, I feel like if I could have told him to just leave her, all of our lives wouldn't have been filled with so much pain. I have developed a great relationship with my mom as I got older, because I appreciate that she tried to make up for her mistake, but my father NEVER let her live it down, thank you Alter Bridge for giving me something that I can use to finally get what I need to off my chest.
The biggest mistake your father made was not leaving her on the spot, although with the bias the government has toward women in these kinda cases I can imagine he mostly stuck with her to avoid having every cent he earns taken from him .
They're just finally letting mark have his Thrash way :D Myles's understanding of melody and harmony + mark's understanding of thrash and shredding = one bad mother of an album.
This song isn't much harder than Isolation, and that was their first no. 1 single on the Mainstream Rock Charts for seven weeks. This song is absolutely amazing and full of passion. Another victory for Alter Bridge.
I love Alter Bridge. This is one of the very rare bands that have produced an amazing album every time.You can't go wrong with any of their albums. So excited for this one!!!
0:59 Myles: "Hey Mark, am I doing it right?" 1:01 Mark: "You're learning." LMFAO LOVE these two! Their chemistry on stage is outstanding! Can't wait to see them again!!
My son let me at his music library 2 yrs ago. Hello, AlterBridge! Now I'm an internet DJ with a weekly rock show and I can assure you I'll be playing THIS!!
I can't put into words what Alter Bridge songs mean to me and I'm not just talking about how perfect Myles vocals are combined with the guitar and drums, but specially because their songs always seem to find a way to fit in so perfectly with situations in my life. So realistic, so deep, so genuine, and yet so comforting and uplifting. It is without a doubt my favorite band of all time.
I can't believe people saying the song is too heavy. IMO it`s almost a perfect balance between power and melody, the riff is "All I Was" album style, but the melodic touch is still there.
Mark Tremonti has always favored metalish guitar work. That's why when he did a solo album he went with what he liked. Same thing Alter Bridge is doing. They are working together to create music that THEY like. Respect them for it.
Agreed man. Addicted to pain is starting to grow on me. I remember having the ODR album, listened the songs and decided it wasn't for me. I started playing guitar and about 2 years later the ODR track played at random on my PC. I was kind of blown away, because I heard things I didn't hear before. And so the rest of the album grew on me and eventually AB became my favourite band.
I had lost my hopes for a comeback from Alter Bridge. But today I'm filled with hopes of a future with Alter Bridge's music. Not only a great comeback, the music is really awesome and it is way better than their last album and all others! HEIL ALTER BRIDGE!
i can def hear the darker feel the music has. There are no "happy" guitar parts that a lot of ab songs have and im loving it! and this is the single which is usually the more accesible song from the album so i can only imagine how sick the rest will be. Another masterpiece from ab it looks like. Man I remember when ab first started and i was mad cause i wanted more creed. So happy there still going strong!
Why I love Alter Bridge? Because every their song has someting of special.. dark or not you feel always the emotion, the effort to write the lyrics and compose the songs.. every time I listen their music is like going to the best restaurant of the city and eat the finest dish there is! you always feel satisfied and never disappointed.
because it fills the empty space. Trust me. No matter how strong your voice is, it's always a good idea to layer the tracks. Makes them stand out more in the mix.
You know that feeling when, you haven't heard new material from your favorite band in awhile. Then you hear their new songs and you get reminded of why you love their music in the first place... that's how I felt after listening to this one song. I AM SO BUYING THE NEW ALBUM!!!
AB has some hard songs on previous albums, i am personally loving this single to death, i think is refreshing that the guitar and drums are more heavy but the melodies and singing remains the same. loving it!!
I think this song rocks! It has a lot of the "Tremonti project" sound to it, And that album rocked! So, it, combined with Myles' extra guitar support and his lyrical genius, you just cant go wrong!
I can't get over how fucking incredible this sounds. I've had it on repeat since I heard it last night and I already know the lyrics. I don't think I've ever been so excited about an album. I thought they'd peaked with AB III, apparently not. This band is by FAR the best band on the planet. Nothing else compares.
Jesus Christ... I didn't even realize their album was so close to releasing. I click on this and get my mind blown. I loved the Tremonti(and I mean LOOOOVED) solo album, but it's good to hear those riffs with Myles singing!!
Totally agreed. AB's deep, dark lyrics are what make the songs and the albums. Knowing the story behind them makes them that much better. i.e.(while not heavy at all) In loving memory was written about mark's mother passing. Things like that make a band what it is.
immense waves of chills, good ol' AB. everybody should BUY this album..no copying off mates or download shite. BUY IT!! and let the world know this is the kind of music people like/want.its not money..its a tiny shred of appreciation of what they deserve ABIII got to top ten in uk album chart i belive. lets make this number 1. thumbs up if you gunna buy!!
Just.. AWESOME!!! I love all of this song. The drums, the riff, the voice, the solo. They're BACK, and better than ever!!! This song will be in loop until the album came out. Thank you Alter Bridge for your music. \m/
I have a feeling this album is gonna shake up the rock world. In my mind, AB should be one of the most popular acts in rock, up there with A7X and Stone Sour. Fortress is gonna be EPIC!!! One more month baby!
And like he said, music writing really just use to be 5 guys sat in a room getting high and messing around until something came up, this guy is completely right
I've been telling myself that " I should really start listening to Alter Bridge" but I always seemed to forget to but I'm glad that I did now. These guys are awesome!
Blown away by this new album. they keep getting better and this album is by far the best yet!!! never would expect something this good from anybody in Creed.
Just when you think that you've reached the peak of your AB-addiction, thinking the next album can't possibly be better than the previous one... POW! Addicted to Pain comes around and just godslaps the shit out of you. \m/
Been with these guys since Blackbird, and I love them! September they'll hit Denmark for the third time, and I'll be right there in the front row! Another wicked song from an amazing band!
This is real modern metal.
if you in America call it a metal...its a rock band :D
*****
No.
Isaiah Mendoza Yes
Gordana Bogic its progressive metal no they are not just a rock band they have post grunge and heavy metal and progressive metal songs bro

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Best Band living on Earth!!
Describe this song in three words: Really fucking EPIC
Myles could sing the ABC's & still captivate an audience!
Myles has said in interviews that he was the one that pushed for heavier songs. Myles writes as much as Mark.
the most UNDERATED band ever in the century
They're just finally letting mark have his Thrash way :D Myles's understanding of melody and harmony + mark's understanding of thrash and shredding = one bad mother of an album.
That solo though!!
Love Myles in Slash band, now love Myles much more again in Alter Bridge. Great to discover new good musics every day
Just heard this song on the radio for the first time an hour ago... nearly blew out my speakers...
I wouldn't mind some more newborns like this song!
This song isn't much harder than Isolation, and that was their first no. 1 single on the Mainstream Rock Charts for seven weeks. This song is absolutely amazing and full of passion. Another victory for Alter Bridge.
Holy Shit this album is going to be epic
I love Alter Bridge. This is one of the very rare bands that have produced an amazing album every time.You can't go wrong with any of their albums. So excited for this one!!!

My son let me at his music library 2 yrs ago. Hello, AlterBridge! Now I'm an internet DJ with a weekly rock show and I can assure you I'll be playing THIS!!
It's Alter Bridge, the whole album will be this good.
I can't put into words what Alter Bridge songs mean to me and I'm not just talking about how perfect Myles vocals are combined with the guitar and drums, but specially because their songs always seem to find a way to fit in so perfectly with situations in my life. So realistic, so deep, so genuine, and yet so comforting and uplifting. It is without a doubt my favorite band of all time.
I can't believe people saying the song is too heavy. IMO it`s almost a perfect balance between power and melody, the riff is "All I Was" album style, but the melodic touch is still there.
I'm in love with this band. If I saw them and tool perform the same night, my life would be complete.
I saw em about 2 weeks apart. It was as amazing as you think it would be.
tool and alter bridge in the same night?! to much emotions! =)
I saw them with Slayer Anthrax Sabaton and Iron Maiden in 1 day
Have met these guys multiple times and not only are they the baddest ass rockers alive, but they are the nicest guys you'll ever meet!!!!
THE BEST BAND OF OUR DAYS!!! THIS IS A REAL ROCK MUSIC!!!!
I totally agree with you my friend!
Thanks rocker!:)
:DD
Mark Tremonti has always favored metalish guitar work. That's why when he did a solo album he went with what he liked. Same thing Alter Bridge is doing. They are working together to create music that THEY like. Respect them for it.
Sounds powerful, consistent, heavy, melodic. Pure AB back on our brains!!!! AWESOME.
Am I the only one who's listening to this continuously for 8 houres?!?!
The chorus gives me goosebumps every time!!! really cool
Agreed man. Addicted to pain is starting to grow on me. I remember having the ODR album, listened the songs and decided it wasn't for me. I started playing guitar and about 2 years later the ODR track played at random on my PC. I was kind of blown away, because I heard things I didn't hear before. And so the rest of the album grew on me and eventually AB became my favourite band.
All I can say every time I listen to that intro is... YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Tremonti is a guitar god. His solo stuff was incredible.
So addicted to face
In time, you're gonna lose it all (8) ;/
Scott Phillips is the best at what he does... This band is too damn talented
They're one of those bands where I would buy the album the day it comes out even if I hadn't heard a single second of it.
Can't help but think one thing: this album is going to be INSANE live!
I had high expectations for this. I wasn't disappointed.
Alter Bridge is genuinely one of the best musical acts in recent times.
I had lost my hopes for a comeback from Alter Bridge.
But today I'm filled with hopes of a future with Alter Bridge's music.
Not only a great comeback, the music is really awesome and it is way better than their last album and all others!
HEIL ALTER BRIDGE!

Btw, Myles keeps improving over and over ... he's becoming probably on the best rock singer nowadays.
Why I love Alter Bridge? Because every their song has someting of special.. dark or not you feel always the emotion, the effort to write the lyrics and compose the songs.. every time I listen their music is like going to the best restaurant of the city and eat the finest dish there is! you always feel satisfied and never disappointed.
Myles is an incredible Frontman/Guitarist!! Love this stuff!!!
Alter Bridge ROCKS!!!!!!
because it fills the empty space. Trust me. No matter how strong your voice is, it's always a good idea to layer the tracks. Makes them stand out more in the mix.
this is why theyre my favourite band, one of the only bands i know that decided to rock up rather than down, so good!
You know that feeling when, you haven't heard new material from your favorite band in awhile. Then you hear their new songs and you get reminded of why you love their music in the first place... that's how I felt after listening to this one song. I AM SO BUYING THE NEW ALBUM!!!
This Band is awesome.
From heavy metal to great ballads they bring everything and each album was better than the last.
Alter Bridge.. most underrated band ever.
AB has some hard songs on previous albums, i am personally loving this single to death, i think is refreshing that the guitar and drums are more heavy but the melodies and singing remains the same. loving it!!

Alter Bridge truly are the worlds greatest band of their time, this just feels like the holy fucking grail!!!
This band consistently delivers.
Exactly. Wish more people could see it like you. Creed got him his money and he enjoyed it but Alter Bridge is just pure passion.
One of the greatest vocalist on earth
Alter bridge are so very lucky to have Myles on board
He make any song sound awesome heheheehe
it's called being versatile and trying different things his voice sounds great on this song as it does for the whole album
Myles sings awesome and Mark is just an Amazing guitarist !!! Love Alter Bridge !
If the rest of the record is anything like this song, I know I'm going to LOVE it!
At least Tremonti gets to fulfill his true potential with AB.
immense waves of chills, good ol' AB. everybody should BUY this album..no copying off mates or download shite.

I've listened to this song about 60 times now and each time I am still gobsmacked.
Amazing song. Absolutely amazing.
Alter Bridge is honestly my all time favorite group, I've been jamming to them since '04 and I'm finally gonna see them live in Orlando in October \m/
And like he said, music writing really just use to be 5 guys sat in a room getting high and messing around until something came up, this guy is completely right
This is why alter bridge is my favorite band
I've been telling myself that " I should really start listening to Alter Bridge" but I always seemed to forget to but I'm glad that I did now. These guys are awesome!
This song is so bad ass !!!! Two things I've noticed I like...One it's heavy...Two...Best Hook in a AB song yet !!!!
One of the BEST Alter Bridge songs for sure! \m/
This song is the solution to a Monday without waking up
Blown away by this new album. they keep getting better and this album is by far the best yet!!! never would expect something this good from anybody in Creed.
The most band ever!
Myles is the SHIT!!!
One of my BIGGEST influences right now!
I don't think you could cry any more about such a small matter.
It sounds epic! I think that this guys aren't humans! Long life to AB!
They've also always had heavy songs. Even in the Creed days. So chill. This is just one song, 11 more will follow. They will always be a melodic band.
Who cares what genre they're playing? Music doesn't NEED labels in my opinion, this song just rocks!
Just when you think that you've reached the peak of your AB-addiction, thinking the next album can't possibly be better than the previous one... POW! Addicted to Pain comes around and just godslaps the shit out of you. \m/
this is awesome. i hope, the whole album is going to sound like this
Give White Knuckles, Buried Alive, Slip to the Void, and some of the older songs a listen. Great music.
This song rocks. I hope the whole album is as good.
0:37 haha that smile. This is great. I really love this song
The song has a great energy, such as rock / metal. the song is not predictable. I was a little surprised, and it turns out I like
Brilliant, ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! What a great surprise!
THANK YOU FOR EXISTING, ALTER BRIDGE!
Tremonti's signature all over the place! AWESOME!
Best Hard rock band out there today.
what a song ! I love it when Mark goes heavyriffing
Rush and Alterbridge....my two favorite bands. Thanks guys for your music...since you are in my heart, I take you with me wherever I go :)
Myles voice makes me melt. Alter Bridge ROCK each song blows my mind away. #FACT!
Fantastic single, can't wait for their new album and to see them in London!
yet another immense song from my favourite band of all time. cannot wait to see them live in nottingham.
The Greatest band of all Time!!!!!!!!
Mark's voice is awesome
I've been listening to this over and over again... It's just so good!
This is making me look forward to Fortress even more. It is just awesome.
Been with these guys since Blackbird, and I love them! September they'll hit Denmark for the third time, and I'll be right there in the front row! Another wicked song from an amazing band!
This is the best song released this year!
Just ... Awesome! Amazing Voice! Master Singer! Nice All Alter Bridge! Welcome To The Rock! This are the real rock!
Beautiful words! That's how I fell about AB too.
Even more excited about the new album after hearing this track. It's killer!
Awesome band & top tune! Can't wait for the new album.
