As I Lay Dying "I Never Wanted" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Before you guys say anything on Tim, look at your facts. He said himself he wasn't even Christian anymore. He lost his way like we all do. He broke the law and he will pay the price for it. But, your flames are ridiculous. I pray for Tim to find his way. Everyone loses path sometimes and it's not our place to judge.

I'm just here to listen to one of my favorite bands I grew up on. You should all do the same instead of your ridicule.

I never wanted (my wife)

I remember back in the day, I had just turned 16 and my dad moved me down to Arizona from Minnesota. It was probably one of the toughest times of my life, leaving somewhere I'd known my whole life. I wouldn't say I was depressed or anything, but upset about the situation to say the least. I remember a friend had put a shit load of music on my iPod before I moved and when I came down I started going through it all. The first band that really captured my attention was these guys. I believe at the time, the song was Within Destruction. I was hooked from that moment on. Nearly 10 years later, I haven't been able to find a band that even comes close to a glimpse of what this band means to me.

Best metalcore band ever , ever

"I Never Wanted"

I never wanted
And I never cared before
Now take it all back
This is a new day

How I long to regress
To the days before I took upon myself
The obsessions of this world
A day of innocence equating beauty
For tomorrow may fall
And today is already gone

Now take it back
This is a new day

I've grown tired of chasing
Convinced I was in need
And now the years I've spent
Only a slave to this
Tomorrow may fall
And today is already gone
I will no longer adore
These things that will never satisfy me

I have seen my world change
And then go back to where it came
In this vicious circle
We are all brought back to life
Only to die again
But without these barren obsessions
I am simply free

Every time I hear this song it gives me goosebumps I love this song

they should change the lyrics to
"I never wanted
to be in jail before."

I never wanted (to hire someone to kill my wife)

"I never wanted to be caught"

EARGASM STARTING AT 2:51....FULL BLOWN CLIMAX STARTING AT 3:19!

Damn, the outro of this song literally makes me feel adrenaline being injected into the bloodstream.

tims lucky he got caught, beacuse if it went through and she was murdered it would not be hard to figure out a motive considering the divorce(a.k.a he would get life in prison for acting on termporary rage and there would be a dead ex wife on his concense) a classic case of a dude pumped up on roids and a selfish,maniuplative ex wife trying to take half of his shit. he will be out of prison on parrole and and starting a new band before you know it( with some good deep lyrical content from his time in the slammer) tim if you read this and need a lead guitar player i got your back.

lol at the people saying free tim. he is a good vocalist. but. I mean. laws and punishments still affect him.

Lol@ I never wanted to be caught.

I feel the days when I was younger.. No matter what happened to this band, this is the best metalcore band for me.

despite of Tim's actions! This will be my favorite band right on top with ABR! I was lucky to see them once but i for sure wanted to keep seeing them more! :/ i got hooked on AILD in 2007 and still am! Their music is just amazing!!!

I swear half of these views are from me..
This album means A LOT to me. <3
Free Tim...

Best metalcore band ever

As much as I hate this style of metal, this song was really catchy when I first heard it on the Metal Blade summer sampler back in '09.

my favorite band of all time :(

you guys are my world my heart my soul i love you so much i scream and growl for you you are my beautiful wonderland.

The intro sounds a lot like Deftones - Change in the House of Flies

Sucks Tim is in jail. One hell of a vocalist

I never wanted, to go to jail. lol love these guys but the jail jokes are too funny

i wanna know why everybody is talking about "christian" metal...
   it´s just metalcore, if u want and has nothing to do with any religion..

Маечка, как для христианина, то прикольная такая)))

metal blade make it hd

Man i was bummed bought tickets to see As I Lay Dying in Syracuse at the F shed, They have always been bucket list band for me they canceled due to his arrest but darkest hour filled their slot and played awesome set will be waiting for him to get out of prison and guaranteed i will be in the crowd first time they play in NY. Fuckin rock on

Favorite song from this band. Total Badass!

Tim never wrote anything about Christianity in his lyrics. It was all philosophical on human behaviour and life as a whole. I know he has said on interviews they are a Christian band. I guess they were pressurized by their promoters as a Christian band

welcome back brothers. weve been waiting.

Love the damn breakdown!

such a great song & video

These people that call themselves fans but are easy to not forgive and are always looking for a way to put Tim down either by childish name calling or just just being mean overall about the entire situation. Yes what he did was terrible but it is forgivable but also that's the problem with people who listen to metal, they like the music or a certain band but once a member does something bad, then screw them. I never met Tim but as a christian myself, I can tell you it is a struggle to do right but most that do not have this belief may not feel this way but I do know we are to forgive everyone...which again many may not believe in but I cannot speak for them I can only speak for myself. I can tell you though plenty of those in the pop/rap industry who are consistently doing alot worst to their followers then anything Tim did but regardless I do not condone any his actions cause it's wrong, all I am saying is people should learn to forgive more and be more open minded instead of always coming on sites like this and laying comments just to get other people riled up or to make themselves sound cool, funny or even tough. He messed up by committing this crime but did also serve time for it and is trying to move on, just let him do this. It does no good for anyone who calls themselves a fan or just in general to dwell on past mistakes but that we should learn from them. Life is to short. Of course it may be harder for some to do so but all we can do is try.

He always looked as such a nice guy until steroids consumed his mind.

De longe a melhor música deles!

Rip as I lay dying I have 2 CDs by them and I only got to see them once or twice but I'm so grateful for those two CDs and the time that I had to see them because most people probably never got a chance and now that the band is for sure dead and gone it's so sad but I totally understand why Tim lambesis did what he did I will remember forever how crazy asi lay dying fans were and how insane the mosh pits got when as I lay dying came on

This will forever and always be my favorite AILD song and among my top 5 favorite songs ever. There are no words that can describe the shear greatness. That ending gives me chills EVERY SINGLE TIME, especially the live version from the This Is Who We Are DVD.

I've heard this song literally a 1000 times and it never gets old

respect and support the hell out of wovenwar... but it's just not the same...

welcome tim

What is the band going to do without tim though?

what's cool !!

my favourite from asilay

Rip. this band :'(

I cannot stop listing to As I Lay Dying <3 My favorite metal band of all time right now... Although... I got into this band about a week and I keep hearing things about Tim.. What happened to Tim and why? Please tell me...?

I love their music!!!! - - *-* they're the best

joke is on all the haters cause he's out of jail today

I never wanted.... to be thrown in jail
ha sorry i know its wrong but ran in my head

I love this band they are the best metal band ever

Nick Hipa is my spirit animal.

epic song epic band

deadly

come back please!!!!

rip tim labesses

we miss you tim

nice Christian message

The best Metal/Rock song ever made.

Stayed well lawful this music and this video clip showing the day to day of band As I Lay Dying!

I will never forget being a kid and borrowing shadows are security from the cool library lol. I put it in and started it and when I heard meaning in tragedy this became my favorite band and they will always hold a place in my heart. This is also the band that inspired me to play drums and now 9 years later I can play alot of their songs. Even Christians sin, and I'm not all about any religion, but I don't give a fuck what Tim did. Anyone that does must be perfect! I forgave Tim right after I heard of his mistake, because he has been a part of something that has given me so much inspiration and helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. I also know what drugs do to people. Influence people to do things they would never do otherwise. I fucking love you As I Lay Dying you've been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid and that isn't going to change because of a sin. I love the teaser and I hope you guys make more albums so my son can grow up with you too and so I can jam them on drums. Jordan you are a big inspiration to me you rock man!

I really miss this band, one of very few metalcore bands that where actually metal. And this comes from a guy that mostly listens to thrash and death metal.

2019 still love this awesome song

Hell I remember when this album came out. I first downloaded on my old iPhone 4 lol now I have a iPhone 7 plus and still listening to this album.

so i played this on repeat earlier. then i came back in my room where youtube was paused. i came back . 4 hours later. saying i would never listen to this again.... and whats on my screen... this song.. this song... a sign? i think so... this song is deep . and i highly suggest everyone look at the lyrics. and then think.l because you won't look the same afterwards. I promise. This song means more than you think. maybe even more than you can comprehend. What I got. ..? you're stuck in the loop. ..

Wait what? Where are the very last seconds of the song gone? These only with the clean singer repeating the last phrases and a guitar on clean arpeggios. Makes the song even deeper

I used to love this song, now I'm into stuff like Counterparts, nice coming back and listening to these though

at 2:02 it sounds like "Confess my wife's ending" lmao

I'm a drummer and would love to be in this band!!! Call me ✌

ASILD revival with Tim!!! :D chech out they're new single,"My own grave". My fav fav fav band, I'm so happy! Haha

I love this song makes me think of the 2000s life was simple then I found out about him....very sad 🙁

Mad band didn't realize they were Christian metal still like them from 10 years ago

How Mancino headbangs while playing super technical fast drumming blows me away. He is the sickest metalcore drummer. Period!

Yo nunca quise...

this song will always take me back and i hope he gets out soon and picks up where they left off?!?.

Awesome band.....despite they gotten softer through the years. Which is expected

one of the best bands, been a fan for a long time, their music helped me get through alot.

Now that Tim is out of jail I wonder if he will ever record music with Jordan and the rest of the as I lay dying crew

2:52 the verses sung were really mind-blowing!..

I love everything about this song and video. .

Tim's like I never wanted to get caught and go to jail

Listening for 9 years this masterpiece

i love as i lay dying the awesome band.

I never wanted jail time

Why is this mixed so weird?

josh gilbert!!! Sing like an angel!!!

1:18 epic breakdown, probably my favorite!

Lol dam those big ass ape hanger handle bars.. only Mr. Mancino

So Rob Stark is still alive ???

Nick Hipa is my spirit animal.

Rumor is that Tim has been released from jail...

That looked like Keith from Every Time I Die.

So hype they are back🔥🔥🔥

Minha banda Preferida!!!

melhor banda de metalcore

2:58 32 leaves anyone else?

the one band that kept it real
