ASKING ALEXANDRIA - Alone In A Room (Acoustic)

Recently lost my wife of 30 years. This song has become a huge part of the grieving process for me. Still have not sat alone in a room and said it out loud, but I am getting there.

This song was definitely meant to be acoustic! Danny's voice is like a fine wine...only gets better with age.

We need more acoustic Asking Alexandria.
What a voice, man. What. A. Voice.

I did 14 years in a state penitentiary. This describes every day of those years.

Danny sings like an angel and screams like a demon. Ben can play the hell outta any acoustic!

If you came up to me in 2009 and showed me this video and said this was Asking Alexandria in almost 10 years, I wouldn't believe you. They've grown so much as a band and it's truly phenomenal.

Who else is still listening in 2023?? I’m a big fan of Asking Alexandria, and I enjoy every song that they’ve released. ❤

"Я готов принять любую реальность кроме той, в которой тебя нет.." 💔💔

They should release a full acoustic album. So beautiful. Between this and Into The Fire, both are amazing acoustic versions.

The way Cam and Ben play with opposite hands is satisfying

I sat alone in the room and realize I wasn't alone, Jesus was with me💛

Невероятная песня, которая в акустике звучит ещё более чувственно. Эта лирика проникает в самую суть

One of the most beautiful versions in Acoustic for me. Jesus... it's so fucking beautiful that music.

Those are some beautiful guitars

The depression and anger and emptiness is hitting hard lately. Thank you for your music for helping me pull myself back from the edge

I've listened to this version since it came out.. basically everyday . I don't think my mental illness has ever related to a song this much.. and it makes me feel safe. Thank you

This song sounds really beautiful as an acoustic song.
And that ending tho. Twas great.

As someone who has literally spent a long time being alone in a room...this song resonates with me.

curiosity thank you for this group 😔💔

I asked God for help this morning and I think that hearing this song for the first time has helped. Thank you. 👼🏻

I ruined a lot of relationships because of my depression and anger. Suicidal thoughts and a few attempts. I never sought help or did anything to change. Drank a lot of alcohol to suppress all those feelings. It came out and I burned a lot of things. Just this past year I started getting help and taking medication realizing I have to work on these problems. Sometimes it's still hard but one battle at a time and as my mom (a woman who was like one to me) always said "one day at a timel." She past away last year but I know she's happy how far I have made it.
So this song hits home for me. Really explained me and everything I was and still am going through.

I needed this.. I've struggled mentally for years, I had to lose so much shit in order to find myself. This helped so much, because every time I break down. I've got this song to remind myself to stay on track. Thank you Asking Alexandria, I needed this.. ❤️

as a recovering addict this song touches my soul. i have sat in that room trying to own my problem. here i am 10 years clean and i still fight every day i have lost hope but i fought it and am winning. never give up

For me, this song resonates with needing to take care of yourself, burying yourself in everyone else’s problems to no escape. Sometimes you need that “Alone in a room” time.

Asking Alexandria in 2011: *writing songs full of blasphemous shit*
Asking Alexandria in 2018: *performing an acoustic song in a church*
And I still love this band!!!

Depression hitting like a truck today. Had to come listen.

This song has got me through some of my darkest days. Thank you so much for the music you creat

"Я могу принять любую реальность.Любую.Кроме той,в которой тебя не будет."

Hard to believe this is the same band that gave us stand up and scream, reckless and relentless, and from death to destiny. (Not bashing them at all they’re incredibly talented.)

Voltem logo para o Brasil, estamos esperando vocês! 🇧🇷

I get chills when Ben sings with Danny "every awful thing every broken dream"

This isn't just a song
This isn't just a theme
This isn't just a masterpiece
It is an EMOTION...

Como não amar essa banda, meu Deus?
Brasil está com saudade de vocês. 🇧🇷♥️

So musically, this band has changed and grown quite a bit. I'm honestly not really disappointed in the noted lack of "heavy" in their latest album, but the album is musically just fucking solid. And Danny's voice now is damn near unmatched. That said, as much as they've grown, my favorite part of this video is Danny's face at the end after the priest is like "what are you doing in here?!" You cannot put a price on that face. Lol

Dear reader, you have special skills the world is in need of. Keep fighting for what you deserve, love and happiness. And remember, every tomorrow is a fresh start 💗

I listen to this song every time I start going into the darkest depths of my mind. It reminds me that sometimes, the last thing we want is what we need.

Assustado com o tanto de brasileiros ainda acompanhando AA. Tamo junto! 🇧🇷💙

Its crazy that songs like this fall in heavy metal and rock bands...
Just look at songs like this and Slipknot's Snuff the heaviest songs are often the softest.

This song has made me realise that today is not the day to leave my family with endless pain and torture, so I'll be here for another while,

And here I am Alone in a room. With my daughter Alexandria. ❤❤❤❤ 11/29/2023

Brasil ama vocês ❤️🇧🇷

Never felt so hopeful. This song is keeping me alive

When depression feels like it's winning i tend to fall down in tears until im able to drown it all in songs kust like this. I feel alone in a room even though im surrounded by everyone

Как же я обожаю эту песню 💔💔💔

Brazil loves you guys! ❤️❤️

I've been away, a little while
Sometimes I just can't help myself
When my mind's running wild
I seem to lose grip on reality
And I try to disregard the crazy things
The voices tell me to do but it's no use
I tried to own it, write songs about it
Believe me, I tried, in the end I needed to breathe
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
To take a second to face the shit that makes me me
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
I saw the world a couple times
Tried to cure the ache with absence
But that hole was still a hole
And my mind kept playing tricks on me
Feeling older every day
Took everything I had to not crash and burn
But I'm starting to learn
Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
I might be lonely but I ain't alone here
So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me me
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
I can be better than I was
I can be better than I am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room

I love the original version, but this version is absolutely perfect. It's so raw and you can feel the words in this song.

This song was the catalyst to started my therapy and now I am a new person who very grateful for this ❤

I like this better! This version really brings out the emotion more.

Amo essa música!!! 😍😍😍😍😍🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

Lost my mum this year and I played her this before she died. She loved it as much as I do. It's bittersweet listening to it for now, but through the tears it makes me smile. She knew what this song meant to me and now her loss is added to the things I cant say out loud, but this song helps.

Lyrics:
I've been away a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself
When my mind's runnin' wild, I seem to lose grip on reality
And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do
But it's no use
I tried to own it, write songs about it
Believe me, I've tried, in the end, I needed to breathe
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
To take a second to face what makes me me
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
I saw the world a couple of times, tried to cure the ache with absence
But that hole was still a hole and my mind kept playin' tricks on me
Feelin' older every day, took everything I had to not crash and burn
But I'm starting to learn
Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
So I keep pushin' the limits of what makes me me
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
'Cause I can be better than I was
I can be better than I am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room, alone in a room

Danny's eyes say... Many things
Love from France 🇫🇷

Thank you Asking Alexandria for being my light in the dark once more with this song. Been through so much heartbreak over the past week. Thank you much love for you guys.

Everything about this is beautiful

Ive been listening to you since 13, and every song hit me in ways like you spoke to me. Today im 22 and holding my 2 month old daughter in my arms listening to this song for the first time, and we are alone in a room as i cry. Still it speaks to me. Threw the years you have been my favourite band and artist. I cried when you left AA for a while. I listened to WAH and your music fillowed me everywhere.
Thank you for being still my favorite band, thank you for all of you growing in life to let me grow with you. My life dream is to see you preform and i missed the last time you were in Albuquerque. But one day ill meet you wearing a very old band tee. Saying how much you changed my life. And saved my life.

My addiction broke again, and I fell off the wagon - hard. Needed to hear this song again.

Parece que muitos brasileiros ainda tem bom gosto musical!!!

O Brasil ama vocês!!

Danny’s voice is really transparent and angelic in the acoustic version it touches the toughest soul, thank you AA.

I cannot express enough how much this song,.. this version.. touches the heart and soul.

Minha música preferida. Abraços do Brasil.

AA just keeps getting better and better!!!

I cry every time I listen to this.
The feels, man.

To the guy who I just listened to sing this at a high school talent show: If you see this, you did amazing and I wish it was recorded so I could listen to it again. I would definitely listen to your music if you made it. :)

#Brasil te ama💛💚

Brasil em peso ama vocês 😍❤

Ugh. This hit so hard. Love the original version of this but idk… this version just hit me a bit harder. Years later I come back to this song. Like a lot of people here, depression has been hitting hard lately so I come back to this song a lot. Great song!

Depression beating down... Seems to describe perfectly...and its beautifully done.

Meu Deus como amo essa banda, pqp ♥️

Só marcando presença 😂
Oi meus Brs lindos e outros fãs incríveis também ❤❤❤
Just marking presence😂
Hi, my beautiful Brazilians and other amazing fans too.❤❤❤

I’ve been a fan of Asking Alexandria for a long time. I love the heavy shit but this is phenomenal

I’m obsessed, this song is epic-specially the acoustic version.

Brazil espera por vocês

[Verse 1]
I've been away, a little while
Sometimes I just can't help myself
When my mind's running wild
I seem to lose grip on reality
And I try to disregard
The crazy things the voices tell me to do
But it's no use (use-use-use-)
I tried to own it, write songs about it
Believe me, I tried, but in the end, I needed to breathe
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
To take a second to face the shit that makes me, me
[Chorus]
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna' put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Verse 2]
I saw the world a couple of times
Tried to cure the ache with absence
But that hole was still a hole
And my mind kept playing tricks on me
Feeling older every day
Took everything I had to not crash and burn
But I'm starting to learn
Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me, me
[Chorus]
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna' put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
[Bridge]
(Lonely-lonely-lonely-lonely-lonely-)
I can be
Better than I was
I can be
Better than I am
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room
[Chorus]
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple of years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall, tryna' put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room

Они прекрасны💜💜💜

"All I needed was the last thing I wanted. To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud."
There are some lyrics you just feel in your soul. Such an amazing song.

Melhor Banda❤ ansioso de algum dia vocês passarem por aqui novamente no Brasil🇧🇷👏

This is arguably one of the best AA's Songs ever!

This song hits deep. So many times this song has been my beacon to get me out of the dark. To those who are coming here for the same reason, the light my be small but it gets brighter!!!!

OMG!!! i''ll keep listening it for all eternity... 💔💔💔💔 R.I.P. Alexi Laiho 😥😥😥😥

Anyone who gave this a thumbs down lacks a soul.

Canção mais linda ❤ muito bom

One of the most healing songs I’ve ever heard and AA’s best song.

My father used to listen to this song all the time. I forgot about it until I seen it on a mix today. He passed away last year in August. Now this song will just serve as a memory of him.

Coisa linda!!!!

Vem pro Rock in Rio, nunca pedi nada!!
BRASIL 🇧🇷

3:37 duuuuuude that tenor made me rewind three times, what a voice

Anyone else alone in room?

ASKING ALEXANDRIA FOREVER AND ALWAYS 🤘🏻 😍Danny canta hermoso 🎤.. SALUDOS DESDE 🇲🇽 MEXICO

I'd love to see this guy and Corey Taylor singing together

I'll have 5 years clean May 17th and this song always get me emotional

I know I'm late to the party on this one, but... wow. I'm sure the circumstances are different, but I feel like the words were taken right out of my mouth. I'd give anything to express how I felt with such beauty and artistry. Well done guys. Well done.

O Brasil todo ama vocês

Brasil tem vocês no coração S2

Как же красиво....
До глубин души, просто задевает все возможные струны

I love their acoustic versions! It really shows off how amazing Danny's voice is
