Let go of everything (thing)(thing)(thing)

When hope can get you so far

I have something I need to say to you
I am fueled by hate
I am fueled, fueled by hate
THIS LIFE I LIVE IS FUELED BY HATE X4

This song is so good! I love Dylan's clean vocals but when he goes unclean he executes it extremely well.
People need to stop being so elitist - Some songs with Chad have clean vocals too, & it's not like Dylan never went heavy (this song for example goes hard)
If you don't like a bands changes just find a new one or actually make your own music. (which you probably can't)

I've heard this song like 5,000 times. Why am I just now seeing the video? Wanna blame the tube? I dare you to try. Nobody could blame this on an avid Youtube consumer such as myself. I put my heart, and time into listening, and enjoying EVERY video by my favorite artists. Why wasn't this put out there? Every one of their albums are great This one hit wonder busines.......I'll never get over it. One song rated. The rest dropped on it's head.
~~FTFD~~ 4 LYYF!!!!!!!! Can't wait for new stuff guys.
"WHEN WILL YOU LEARN YOUR LESSON!!!???"

the band wasn't originally happy with how the video came out from what i remember...could've sworn one of them tweeted about it or some shit i remember when Rise didn't even post the video lol

Every band finds their sound down their roads. This was one of 'em. You may hear mono-tone horse@#$%; but I hear some of the most complex recording in this genre's recent history.

Director's logic: Film inside a basement, put camera shake on for the entire video, add some filters, and this shit's good to go.

If you guys actually listened to the album, you would know that this is the only song that is this heavy, repetitive or whatever you wanna call it. The rest of it is pretty melodic and in my opinion, awesome as fuck. But ya know, people do tend to make opinions off videos/single. That is cool with me though. I still love all four albums either way. I think Wasted Youth is the best album of 2012. If you think otherwise, comment back, I'd like to check out what other people think.

This song alone destroys any song off of "Changes", their worst album to date. Their first album was titled "Changes" for a reason. To change their sound to what would now be their best albums to date "Backburner" and "Wasted Youth". FTFD win.

I've seen some of the videos Sam has directed, and produced. And they are hands down good. This one, not so much. But to be honest, this song is too slow, generic, and repetitive. I believe every director would have trouble working with this.

AmyL

😍😍😍😍

Sam was right, he did make them look how they sound..

what happened to just listening and respecting artists for there talent. o wait you people have made an album. i forgot your talents are much better. where is your music people ftfd put there options out there for u to hear. wheres your music at? where....... your the joke
