Tim McIlrath is more than just a punk rock songwriter, he's a storyteller giving a voice to those among us that don't have one or struggle to have theirs heard.

Tim is legitimately one of the best punk singers in the scene today, IMO, and the fact that he has kept his voice going strong for over 20 years now is a testament to just how good he is. Fantastic band, and a pretty solid starting point. I recommend following up with either "Savior" if you want the same style of song from him, or "Hero of War" for a softer song that will hit you HARD in the feels. "The Numbers" is also a very solid song if you want to hear how the band sounds now.

I have been listening to Rise Against for almost a couple of decades now, and if you ever wish to revisit them, these are the songs I would suggest. In a loose order of recommendation: - Hero of War. One of the choices you put in the poll. It is a great acoustic song to analyze the vocals and also pretty emotional. - Savior. It is one of their most popular songs. Both original and Ghost Note Symphonies (acoustic) versions are great. - Make it Stop (September's Children). Is a song about accepting yourself. The video is pretty powerful, heavy and emotional, - Re-Education Through Labor. Has some vocal changes a few times throughout the song, althought it doesn't show much of him singing like the other three above. - People Live Here. Great song with video and lyrics being emotional and deep, but it doesn't show Tim singing.

And one thing you said a couple times which really hits the nail on the head, but Tim has such a natural sound to his voice. Some singers have their "singing voice" then you hear them talk, and it's different, but Tim has such a natural flow to his voice which helps you relate to the message the band is trying to convey.

@robaier4471 absolutely. It's one of those songs from my Playlist that when it comes on, I sing along loudly, badly, but passionately

I had chosen to analyze this song for my final oral English exam in high school. The jury was very surprised a French teenager appreciated and understood such a heavy and difficult message. I even remember them getting emotional while reading the lyrics lol. It's very nice to watch an analysis of a band that I still love so much, thank you! :)

I've only just started watching your videos and found them so interesting and entertaining, and then you upload a video with my favourite band 😍 perfect timing!!

Yes! Please do more Rise Against!!

If you want goosebumps from a note that Tim holds like that, listen to "the dirt whispered". One of their most underrated songs IMO

Appeal to Reason is my favourite album, like, of all time. And The Dirt Whispered is a fucking great song. On that album I would say my favourties are The Dirt Whispered, Dancing for Rain and Kotov Syndrome.

@@harrycundall7821 Ooft here we diverge my man, Black Market is 3rd for me. Siren song 4th. P.S. They dont have a BAD album this is just ordered by levels of masterpiece.

Hands down the best punk band, Rise Against have always been true to the sound and not afraid to speak out for those who cant.

I am so glad that this was your introduction to Rise Against! They've been my favorite for over a decade now, and when I finally (FINALLY!!!) saw them live it was a dream come true. Their musicianship and stage presence is magnificent, and it's like you can feel them pouring their souls into their music. Magnificent!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone discover rise against for the first time! If you ever decide to listen to another song I highly recommend “dancing for rain”!

Just from the preview I know this is going to be a good one. And anything from their album Siren Song of the Counter Culture would be good too!

That crystal-clear tone on those long final "up"s never fails to give me goosebumps. It sounds like sacred fire blazing into an inferno, a rallying call for the disenfranchised.

One of my favorite bands of all time! His voice is so incredible and their message is amazing. Excited to hear you analyze!

Thank you so very much for this video

Absolutley love Tim's voice 😍

"Like the Angel", is another really good song by these guys. I recently found the acoustic version. Soooooo good.

I like to think that this song isn't about refugees but rather a message to refugees. The tone of the song is inspiring, encouraging, and empathetic. It's a call to arms for the oppressed.

Rise Against has been my favorite band for the past 16 years. Awesome to see this pop up in my subs, hope you do more songs from them!

I'm soooo glad you've found Rise Against! I have to recommend the song that literally lifted me up more times than I can count. The lyrics for Tragedy + Time read like a poem by Kipling or Dylan Thomas and Tim Mcllrath delivers them with all of the sincerity that fans of Rise Against know and love. I live with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease and I desperately want this song to reach as many ears and hearts as possible. Their bigger hits will get more attention, but Tragedy + Time speaks to me and my fellow Parkies (that's our nickname for people with Parkinson's) as if it were written for us. If anyone reading this is ever looking for something to grab onto when the depression get's truly heavy, please give this song a try. Rise Against has two videos for it, one of them is an amazing lyric video that has helped change the outlook of maybe half a dozen or so Parkies who have reached out to me for help. I promise, it's NOT a sappy ballad either! One of my favorite songs of all time.

I’ve been a die hard fan since 2010 So happy to finally see this. 1000% need more of them they have so many good ones. The good left undone Make it stop (very deep kind of similar to what you said maybe rise against being against towards things in our society as the song honors children who committed suicide from bullying) Help is on the way Savior Re education

I love this! So glad to see you finding Rise Against. I really hope you do savior next! That is my favorite song of theirs.

Im only 3 minutes in and i cannottt love your reaction enough. I have favored this song since i was younger. Always thought there was somthing about his voice!

I'm so excited for this. Rise Against have been my favourite band for over 10 years, and whilst I don't enjoy their newest stuff quite as much, their music has had such an impact on my life. Whenever their songs come on, I can't help but shout-sing along

His voice let's you know exactly what emotion he is feeling. Sad, anger, longing, remorse.

All of Rise Against’s music having a message is why I fell in love with them. They sing and fight for what they believe in and it’s really inspiring. You hit the nail on the head in your analysis of their name.

Thanks for reviewing this band /song ! Please do more !

I just remembered how amazing this song is. Many days in my early 20s were spent belting this song in my car! They have a bunch of live sessions now; I would love to see those analyzed!

Rise Against songs are so related to America today . Tims vocals are top quality 💯🎶

They are almost prophetic, right? They were bringing attention to things the mainstream only saw in periphery at the time, but now are forefront issues.

Great reaction and analysis as always!... My favourite songs by them are Survive and Savior... I'll be waiting for you to hear them soon... 🙌

The nostalgia I get from this song is unbelievable.. I haven't heard it in years and honestly forgot it existed. I'm happy to be reminded of this.

My friend and I saw rise against live for my 16th birthday. its been over a decade now, and both of us still agree it was one of the best nights of our lives. Man I love this band

The album this song is on (The Sufferer and the Witness) and the album before it (Siren Song of the Counter Culture) were peak Rise Against in my opinion. So many bangers on those albums, I'd be hard pressed to recommend any one individual track. Just listen to both albums back to back, you won't regret it. If I had to choose, I'd recommend the following; - Paper Wings - Ready to Fall - Give it All - Injection - Blood to Bleed - The Good Left Undone

That is indeed THE way I listen to Rise Against!!

Glad you discovered Rise Against, and Prayer of the Refugee is the best place to start! Interesting analysis too - I wish more people appreciated what a great, complex sound they have, and cottoned on to their messages. A band really worth listening to.

The sufferer and the witness album is one of my favorite albums of all time. This song convinced me to look into the band and get the album back when I was just a teenager, and I have probably listened to the album back to front nearing a hundred times. There's so much to everything, instrumentals, voice, in the general tone that makes this album feel very easy to immerse myself in. It truly is the album that got me to actually listen to music instead of just hearing it, and I'm so glad that you're delving into this song in this band!

Paper wings. 🙏🏼 Easily one of the best rise against songs. Tim McIlrath is one powerful vocalist.

It instantly takes me back to some fantastic house parties in my mid-teens. A sing-along every time.

You're such a great appreciator of music that you help me to feel things for these songs that I haven't felt in years. Thank you for that. I love your videos. Great job & keep it up!

I am ecstatic that you have found Rise Against! My absolute favorite song of all time comes from them, "Disparity by Design". They are such an impactful and talented band.

I love his gritty voice, in these emotional songs it adds an extra layer. This song gave me goosebumps & made me cry when I heard it for the second time. The lyrics but not only, more of how it is delivered to our ears. Such an amazing song & band.

I love her energy so much, just so positive and energetic and excited to hear the various talents in vocal work. She's the best.

I hope you check out more of their stuff, their message is just amazing in all their songs.
