Go get some Ties That Bind (studio version) if you weren't impressed...

[bilal]

isnt that the same song which was previously played by the band as "burried alive" ...or was it "come alive".....in their earlier concerts........

[rabidgopher04]

Whoa! Now this is definitely different from ODR! Finally!

[Bridge of Clay]

Yep, they played it at Pinkpop last year but Myles guitar didn`t work back then. Its working title was "Bitch Slap".

"Come To Life" is another song.

[rabidgopher04]

I gotta post again....Scott Phillips has greatly improved as well. It's almost hard to believe these guys were Creed (with the exception of Myles of course).

[Bridge of Clay]

Creed who?

[revisfoot]

Holy smokes. That was so awesome! Dang, this album is going to smoke everything and everyone!

[eusebioCBR]

This is gonna be sooooooooooo gooooooooooood!

[Unforgiven Fan]

wow now that is heavy...nice...tie that binds kicks ass (was not expecting that) and show how much talent that all four of them have...thx for the link and thanks alter bridge for posting that...on a side note...Rise Today sounds heavier in higher quality so I even more happy...does not come close to ODR...at least the are living up to what I expected....

I have to say that I really like what they have done with this song! I am impressed more by this one song than I was with that whole crappy last album.

Crappy last album!!!??? :wtf:

[Robin101]

That's more like it!! Lyrics aren't anything special. It doesn't matter when a song rocks like that!! ROCK ON OCTOBER!!

[GregS]

Oh I love this song :D
They played this when I seen them at the Download Festival last year.

[Bridge of Clay]

This is Ryan's take on the lyrics:

I tear on the leash
That keeps me contained and controlled
Let me go
I wanna break free
And find my way out of this hole

One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the faded line
Way, beyond the ties that bind
Yes I know
The risk is worth the gain
It’s worth the sacrifice
Way, beyond the ties that bind

I run but the chains
Pull me right back to the floor
You control
I rattle the cage
I won’t be your slave anymore

One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the faded line
Way, beyond the ties that bind
Yes I know
The risk is worth the gain
It’s worth the sacrifice
Way, beyond the ties that bind

You broke me into pieces
Don’t tell me what to be
Damn you all I’m gonna find my way

One last hope
To rise and break away
Above the faded line
Way, beyond the ties that bind
Yes I know
The risk is worth the gain
It’s worth the sacrifice
Way, beyond the ties that bind

I like their myspace. It's nice and simple. I can't stand it when people or bands have these crazy backgrounds which makes it harder to read anything.

Ties That Bind sounds pretty effing badass, though. Why must you tease me so, Alter Bridge? I want Blackbird now! But I still have to wait 2+ months.... :(

[Bridge of Clay]

They'll change their myspace page once Dan gets finished will all of the Blackbird art.

[titan9]

Wow, "Ties that Bind" is very different from anything they've ever done. I definitely like the song a lot and this makes me even more anxious to hear the new CD.

[revisfoot]

Yeah, Ties That Bind is awesome. I like this new direction the band is going in. They are true artists, unfettered by corporate-label BS. ROCK ON!

[The Lithium]

Hearing "Ties That Bind" is the first time I ever felt like Alter Bridge have recorded a full-blooded metal song! I fucking love it! They should've made THIS the first single!
