Top 10 Best Alesana Songs
Alesana is a band that's hard to define and even harder to ignore, blending post-hardcore, metalcore, and a touch of screamo with poetic storytelling and theatrical flair. Formed in Raleigh, North Carolina, back in 2004, Alesana quickly carved out a distinct place in the scene with their unique style, balancing heavy riffs, dual vocalists, and lyrics inspired by literature and tragedy. Their lyrics often feel like stepping into a dark fairytale or a gothic novel, full of twists, heartbreak, and passion.This list is a celebration of Alesana's legacy so far, and it's a chance for you to show some love for the songs that have left the biggest impact.
It was the first song I ever heard by Alesana, and it definitely left a positive imprint. They're now one of my favorite bands. I'd like to thank the guy who showed me them. They're amazing. I don't know where I'd be without them.
Most fun song to listen to while driving fast! Love this song, practice how to scream and growl well with this song!
Their best song so far, from their best album so far, The Emptiness. It deserves to be at the top.
Recommended by a good friend of mine. I liked this song very much. It describes my love life. I liked the acoustic version, but every time I listen to the original one, the screams... make me want to cry. I felt like it was me screaming in that song. Well then... Love this song so much, I voted it to be the top one.
The combination of Shawn Milke, Dennis Lee, and Shane Crump's voices, joined together in screaming and accompanied by sick instrumentals, produces the best song ever.
This song is how I see Alesana. It is just perfect and always will be.
This is probably my favorite song by Alesana! It was also the song that really got me hooked on the band. I love the lyrics, Shawn and Dennis's voices, the guitar - everything. This needs to be ranked higher!
Give me a reason why I shouldn't think this is a great song. Until then, this is my favorite.
My favorite because it's really relatable.
I think this song should be #1 because it was just perfect.
One of their most popular songs for a reason. It has everything needed in a song and more. This is a great song to scream to while doing chores or really anything! I'll always love this song.
Seeing it so low on this list is quite odd, considering it is statistically in their top three.
Great song! Good beat, good feel. Altogether, it all syncs well.
Love this song. The one that started it all.
"I handed you a knife and my heart, and now the dream is over... and now the dream is over..."
Definitely the best song by Alesana, hands down.
I think this song is the best because it has great rhythm and lyrics. The Thespian is also a great song, but I wouldn't vote it as number one.
Lyrically, this song is emotional, and melodically, it is by far the best song by Alesana.
This is my favorite song by them. The image the story creates in my head is displayed so clearly. I see every single detail as if it were a movie.
The mix of emotions I feel from the excitement and the delusion of the artist is just indescribable. I've never had the privilege to see Alesana live, but I always thought this song would be so fun to watch them perform.
Song of the Year! This piece of art indubitably deserves this title. The whole album is a masterpiece, whether you enjoy it or not. The guys worked very hard on this, perfecting it and trying their hardest to outdo themselves from the last album. I know how much my dear friend, Shawn, works, and they really do deserve all the love and support they receive.
It's EXTREMELY hard to come to a conclusion - each song is utterly phenomenal and breathtakingly beautiful. Since this song was awarded Song of the Year in 2011, I'll choose to vote for this work of art!
The Newcomers
Crazy to see this song at 59. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Honestly, I ranked this personally with the likes of Stairway to Heaven, Holy Wars, Jesus of Suburbia, Nothing Else Matters, Hallelujah, or Free Bird. Of course, that was just an overreaction, but you get it, right? What I'm saying is this song is damn good.
The first song I heard by Alesana, the first song I fell in love with. It'll always be my favorite Alesana song. The lyrics are so beautiful and sad, much like poetry. I love Alesana for the poetic lyrics, especially in this song. Last Three Letters is so much better than The Thespian and Apology, even though those are both great songs.
It should be higher up. Definitely one of my favorites from this band.
The first song I heard by them, and I fell in love with them afterward. Not my favorite, but definitely my second!
I actually find this whole album to be my favorite, and this song is the best from the album so far.
It has such an amazing flow. It is my #1.
The tempo changes in this song are incredible, and the breakdown is the best breakdown of all time. Savage. This list is chapped. Look, I understand this song isn't going to rank higher than The Thespian or Apology, but musically, this is definitely in their top five.
This is a really great song. It flows nicely and just takes me somewhere else. I can't believe it's not even in the top 20.
Amazing song. I just love the lyrics: "Not all knights in shining armor can make your dreams come true. He's not quite as charming as he may seem."
I think it deserved to be in the top 10.
Does anybody know this song? This is by far the best song by Alesana! All songs are perfect by Alesana, but this is just a little better than the rest. Perfect song!
This is one of the best! I love the way it sounds. It should definitely be higher.
It's simply Alesana at their best.
"The Earth will quake as I deflower you." Awesome song.
Perfect song structure! However, it's a lot simpler than some other songs, but if you're looking for a good, deep listen, I'd check it out.
The first song I heard from Alesana, and it made me fall in love with them to this day.
Best song they released to date.
