The ending to Adelleda (Self Titled) is the most beautiful 90 seconds I've ever heard in a song.

Can't believe I got to see them play this live. My favorite song by my favorite band

My favorite too! That bass guitar tone really is what I think sets it apart.

Duude i love this outro so much. The original song has piano at the end its crazy they redid it and it still came out just as amazing

Was going to say this. It's all I used to listen to and then they removed it in the remastered.

The original is the best. The piano at the end is incredible.

My favorite part of this song is wirh about :20 seconds left in this video the outro starts to slow down and they quickly pick up the tempo one last time. Little intricacies like this make AoF stand out

the emotions that are bleeding out in the original that which eventually fade into only the piano is one of the most beautiful moments ever… also it’s so, so difficult to play… thanks dallas lol >:3

I'd love if they did a live session of playing the self titled front to back for all the fans.

I’ve seen them like 15 times and have probably only heard .44 Caliber, waterwings, and pulmonary through the years. I wish I could have seen little girls pointing and laughing, Polaroids, Kennedy curse.

I didn’t even know they had a remastered version of this song, only ever heard the original with piano which is really quite beautiful.

does anyone know if he’s playing it on g# and c#, or on c# and f#? when I play it on each pair of strings, it sounds kind of right, but much more accurate on the higher strings. I’ve also heard people say that he might be layering him playing on both the low and high strings.
