The Amity Affliction es una banda australiana de post-hardcore/metalcore que logró cautivar a millones de seguidores alrededor del mundo con sus letras emocionales y potentes melodías. La banda se fundó en 2003 en Gympie, Queensland. Los miembros fundadores, Ahren Stringer y Troy Brady, comenzaron a tocar juntos en la escuela secundaria, y después de algunos cambios en la formación, finalmente se establecieron como una fuerza a tener en cuenta en la escena del metalcore.
En 2008, lanzaron su primer álbum de estudio, "Severed Ties". Este trabajo no solo mostró su habilidad musical, sino que también destacó por su capacidad para abordar temas personales y emocionales. Canciones como "I Heart H.C." y "Stairway to Hell" dejaron una marca en los fanáticos del género, posicionando a la banda como una promesa emergente.
El verdadero ascenso de The Amity Affliction comenzó con su segundo álbum, "Youngbloods", en 2010. Con una producción más pulida y letras profundamente personales, la banda empezó a ganar terreno internacional.

I was waiting for you man, right down there by the sea
Where we used to meet, to share in our pain and decry misery
I waited, I waited, I waited I swear
But when I got down to the ocean, man, you were not fucking there
I just wish that you spoke up and held out your hand
Because you know I was there, man, you know that I cared
I waited for you but you never came, no, you never came

I wanted to hear it, I wanted to know

But I'm angry and hurt and I hate you all the same

I waited for you but you never came, no, you never came
And now that you're gone I feel I'm to blame, yeah, I feel I'm to blame
I know now you hated life even more with each breath
I know now that you did not have any fight left
To know you were grieving with each passing day
(I know you were grieving with each passing day)
And to know most of all you did not want to stay

And you know you were grieving with each passing day
I waited for you but you never came, no, you never came
And now that you're gone I feel I'm to blame, yeah, I feel I'm to blame
Did I never listen? did I never show, did I never show?
'Cause I wanted to hear. I wanted to hear it, I wanted to know
I wanted to know
