People ask why we listen to metal. My answer is this video: this is the definition of raw emotion

What a bunch of just solid, solid human beings

This video really shows that this kind of music is the best for describing deep, hunting feelings like loss and emptiness/longing. I think I fell in love with post-hardcore and metalcore songs because the screamo vocals seems to hit a nerve right around the heart and in the chest (like when you're scared) at the same time, while being accompanied by heavy and rythmical guitars that floats through the air and gets the songs moving. Just love this kind of music.

The drummer looks really emotional. I didn't know why until I found out he was Tom's brother. My bad.

3:20 Sam didn’t know this would be one of his best live vocal performances

As a drummer, seeing Dan play this song you can just see the emotion pouring out as he plays. So many times when I have played live there are those songs that you just cant help play twice as loud because the emotions and drive take control

fokin hell you can see Dan just putting it all out on the drums

My dad was diagnosed with cancer in 2016. It completely changed my life he died in November, this band has helped me through some bad times.

When Sam cried at ally pally, i don’t think there was a dry eye in the house

Just watching this is hard, you can see Sam get emotional and struggle to keep it together. Thanks for the upload!

Damnnnn sam tried really hard on this song, probably knowing it was the last show of the year for them, you can tell especially in his quieter vocals, that’s they matched almost perfect to the album

I appreciate how Sam doesn’t curse during his speech. It somehow hits harder because of that

I usually cry rarely, but this video hits me every time like I knew Tom myself, but I didn't. May he rest in peace

Those cleans still give me chills. Anyone else here when 2021 is just around the corner? We wont forget❤

you ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? the tears keep flowing like a stream. this was incredibly moving. rip tom.

I discovered this band last year after my mom passed away. This song helped so much with getting through it. Architects will always hold a special place in my heart❤️

my first time seeing this video.. my dad died of cancer too and just watching this and what he is going thru.. barely keeping it together.. i felt it.. man im like crying n shit..

This band reflects my emotions in every way. I have lost one of my best friends in the earthquake in Türkiye on 06.02.2023. We even could not find his body. Every time I listen to this beautiful song, it speaks for me and I am just in tears… I hope Tamer is happy wherever he is now. Pain is temporary they say, I hope it is… From my soul to Tamer’s. May he rest in peace, he will always be remembered. I am happy about all the memories we shared. @saspent

Okay I’m crying rn

You can just see how much playing this song means to every member of the band. Powerful song, powerful band ArchitecT//S

This gave me chills I can feel his pain in his tone.

Damn this song is just about him going thru his disease that is so amazing how he could word it and write it musically as well as he did

Lost my dad last year, I come back here to think about him. Holy Hell was delivered to me during the viewing. The universe scheduled their album to help anyone who lost someone that week. Fuck sickness. Fuck pain. Live a valuable life.

Man, this was hard to watch without tearing up (I failed). How anybody can dislike that is beyond my understanding.

As soon as the music started you can see and FEEL the emotion. Every single band member is giving 150%. Truly an amazing performance and Tom would be proud.

6:45 this guy is feeling it

I keep finding myself coming back to this video

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Thanks for the music, Tom. We miss you.

I don't even felt like headbanging, I was just feeling their pain in such a powerful song.

This video was the first time to listen Architects and I became a huge fan of them immediately. I can't watch this without tears. Love from Japan🤘🤘

I watched this video countless times with you Christopher.. and now you’re gone too. I’m so thankful for you showing me your favorites, it’s all I have left of you my love. Until we meet again, rest easy baby. Love you forever 🌹🖤

People don’t understand why some of us like metal especially metal with screaming it’s cause you can feel the energy and emotion that the band is playing with that just makes you get into the music and songs even more

BEST BAND EVER. RIP TOM.

"Gone With The Wind" The weight of the world is resting on thin ice When the surface breaks will I find paradise? As I freeze to death, left to reflect What a waste of time I was, in retrospect I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve I'm always gone with the wind Crawling in and out of my mind God knows, I lost all my faith A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me Do you remember when you said to me “My friend, hope is a prison.” Hope is a prison Of all the patterns that I could create I built a labyrinth with no escape To keep my ‘self' under lock and key I am my own worst enemy I'd take a leap of faith, but I'd lose my nerve In the end, I'll get the hell that I deserve I'm always gone with the wind Crawling in and out of my mind God knows, I lost all my faith A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me A sickness with no remedy, except the ones inside of me You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me If I could silence all the doubt in me Accept that what is meant to be (Is meant to be) You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate. Annihilate me I remember when you said to me “My friend, hope is a prison”

I'm laying on the floor, crying, actually.

Coming back to this after listening to their live Orchestra version of Animals. Man, imagine if they decided to do an live orchestral version of this song. I’m sure they won’t for many reasons, and understandably so, but still, just imagine. RIP Tom Searle, a metalcore legend that will never be forgotten.

I was lucky to have met Tom and been the last person to ever interview him in Brighton, couldn’t have met a group of lads any better than these guys they’re very strong lads and probably one of the best bands out there

Damn that was hard to watch. Such a moving speech and great performance

This made me cry sm🥺🖤

I could feel the pain in his screams...RIP, their bandmade...

That last "disintegrate, annihilate" is so incredibly powerful. I love how it transitions from a tonal scream into just a raw, angry, sad scream. This song is just so sad. So many metalcore songs dealing with this sort of thing have some last little "silver lining" verse or riff at the end. This song just... Doesn't. It ends on an utterly hopeless note. I know this was written about cancer, but most days I relate to this song. My mind and heart are broken and dark. I've tried every medication under the sun, and countless therapy sessions. Truly a sickness with no remedy, and I can't fight it anymore. I wish to cease to exist.

I'm listening to this song in 2021, after I fell in love with this band just after Tom died. I was going through serious shit at the time and tried to take my own life shortly before I found this band. Listening to this track post that experience enforces my will to live and to empathise with anyone who feels that the words of this song means something to them personally. Fight through it, find your will to live - even if its vicariously through people you've never met. Life is a gift, one that can be taken away at any time. Thank you Architects, and thank you Tom 🤘🏻✊🏻

I was avoiding this video coz I don't like speech before a song, but now I totally regret my decision. RIP Tom, Gone but never forgotten.

I've been dealing with depression for about 2 years now and when I started listening to architects back in December 2018 and came across this song. I couldn't hold back my tears and let out a good cry. I'm glad I came across this band. A lot of their songs resonate with me. Royal Beggars and my drug addiction but I've been morphine free for 4 and a half months now. Take care

Whoever met Tom he was such a good person who loved what he did.

Dude, awesome. Thanks. The last song they’ll play all year. You can see they really wanted to put every ounce of energy into this one. Especially Dan.

7:31 I cannot hold it either Sam.

I can’t stress how much I love this band. Tom lives on forever now. And just from this song I have learned something. And have never met Tom that’s how great of an impact he has made on the world. Thank you Tom. Thank you architects

"If I could silence all the doubt in me, accept that what is meant to be is meant to be. You ever wonder how deep you could sink into nothing at all? Disintegrate, annihilate me." Those hit me hard.

I always watch this video to feel a crazy amount of emotion when ever I start to feel numb . Honestly when you know the lyrics it’s so much better to listen to it live, sams voice is fucking incredible , I can’t describe the strength I get from architects .

One of the greatest bands of our time, absolute brilliant gentelmen. The power and emotion in this is beautiful

La depresión se llevó a mi mejor amigo y siempre lo recuerdo con está canción, Oliver!!! Se que donde sea que estés guias mi camino hermano

anyone that skips the speech doesn't deserve to listen to the song.

In my heart this band will never die.

I lost my little cousin to cancer, this song seriously puts into perspective the feelings she must of felt on her darkest days. When she knew nothing could be done she still was a golden angel and always fought on to stay with us a little longer ❤ she loved One Direction but for me this is her song.

This was my introduction to the band, been hooked ever since.

He's wearing a WSS's tank, nice

Wow that speech got to me. I cried with em.. fuck.

Very intense moment. Really a true moment. Slightly quicker played. Top 3 most felt band live moment.

I ran into the Architects a couple of years ago. Really like most of their songs! Lots of raw power! Hearing the words about Sam and sincere appreciation for their fans and a great bandmate, I'll tell ya, they really impressed me ! Great bunch of guys!

Que gran voz la de este hombre , que autentica bestia , una de las pocas bandas que hoy en dia no se mueve por el dinero , si no por su musica , son increibles.

instant tears

This is so powerful. Iv never heard this band before i stumbled on this upload in bed on a Saturday night at 1 in the morning. Ive watched this videa 20 times so far. Like a heroin addict getting another fix. Iv never seen such power, emotion and rawness on stage like this before and im 46 years old. God bless all those lads in architects

So respectful, so down to earth

This was amazing, i cried allot

Josh absolutely kills it with these guys. Tom was nothing short of a musical genius, his songs live forever. Legend.

Really heartfelt speech Sam.

Such an amazing song and with so much meaning.

I'm sorry but to the amount of people who have disliked this music video clearly have no heart at all. I've got goosebumps all over my arms and legs after finally giving this video a proper listen to. You guys are doing so well 💗

Visiting this performance once or twice a week atleast. Totaly killer. The emotion in it. The sun shining right. Memento Mori Tom, your energy and particles will keep on going through the universe. Got Memento Mori, tatt on my back and I love it. Peace brother, may you keep the universe on going with your amazing energy.

You think Architects are good until you see them live and they just blow you the fuck away! First band i saw out of lockdown and I'm so happy it was them! ❤

Ahh the pre covid moments.. Miss this

Can’t believe I never gave this band the time they are amazing

i cried

My heart is with you guys! Tom will be never forgotten

Never lets me down listening to sam and the crew, saw them live at ally pally and this band is one of few that can say they sing live as if it were on a record ❤ phenomenal❤

I am speechless...what a performance...just wow...

The people who disliked this have obviously never lost a family member before.

One year later and i am still crying when i watch this video

dear god , i love this band so much. Give them good health always ❤️

Man, I feel you so much. I'm glad the memory of an amazing man can live on and keep spreading the love and knowledge of Tom. You guys have been and always will be, one of the best metal bands to grace the stage. Much love!

I was here, and cried so much!

Instant tears every time. I love these guys and miss you Tom

This song will never not give me chills. This music saves lives.

Does anyone notice how everyone but Sam performs the entire song with their eyes closed? Small details could mean so much.

What an absolutely amazing fuckin performance. So earth shaking. The emotion & energy is all completely real

I`m crying, this is so emotional and every concert we will remember Tom. Tom stays alive in our hearts.❤❤

humble man , first time listening to them , plus i wrote this before hearing them , humble dude

They are amazing live. Breathing new life into my heart and mind, my eternal gratitude.

Goosebumps.

I’m new to listening this band and truly they are amazing. I can relate to some of there music so I will be a fan forever.

Insanely moving and real, much respect

god damn...wish I could like this video 100,00,000 times what an amazing band R.I.P Tom

I just recently got into Architects, my favourite band is NIN, so I love music of a high calibre, learning about what pain the band went through after losing a member has endeared me to them on a human level, I can’t wait to see them live , i’m sure it will be a cathartic gig, since I have lost close friends as well.

My mom died of cancer when I was a teenager and I never really got over it. This band understands my pain and their music means so fkin much to me.

This song has always helped me just feel. Sometimes its even difficult to do that, but this song just rips the soul out of you; and I love it for that.

"this song is called gone with the wind" with a soft voice 3 seconds later .... RHRHRAHAHSFHASHR ASRARHARHARHA RHA PS: is not a offense, is about how Sam can change his voice all of sudden, such a great vocalist

You guys are the fucking best. You make all of us UK rock and metal bands proud and you've come out of this the right way. Keep going boys.

Ps. Sam, I can't imagine just how difficult it is to get up there and share that chunk of your heart with us. Your strength and endurance is being adored by all, but especially by him.

Tom would be so proud. Everytime I watch this it really does make me appreciate life. What a band and what a performance
