One of my all time favorite songs I ever recorded with AVA. Filmed and edited by Alec Dare.

Why am I only just watching this in 2024!!

Atom having that drumhead with AVA on it even if he isn't in the band makes me sad and at the same time happy for sharing his talent to the band. Mad respect!

[DylanMize]

This era of AVA will forever be special to me. You guys definitely created some
magical music

This was the first AVA song I ever showed my wife (then girlfriend) 10 years ago. She fell in love with the band, and eventually we fell in love with each other. Atom, thank you for your passion on this music - it comes through in every note on every song.

2025 🎉 and i still hope Atom will be back to AVA ❤

Could watch these all day, Atom looks filled with joy when drumming 🤘

I love that little pause beat Atom does during the verses. Who the hell thinks of that?! Such a creative and talented drummer.

Both Atom and Ilan are a remarkable drummer but I think Atom is the perfect fit for AVA.. 🤘🤘🤘

[DV-zvox]

Tom, David yourself, and Matt Wachter were prime AvA. It's a shame the band at that stage had run its course but we have memories immortalized in tracks like this!

Listening to AVA was the first time in my entire life I EVER bothered to find out who the drummer of the band was.
Atom Willard's work during his time with AVA was just consistently amazing and mesmerizing. His drumming makes good songs epic.
I hope at some point Atom reads this, I've always wanted to let him know how much I enjoyed what he helped create and how good I think he is.

This is actually the original audio of the song. Atom just removed the audio of drums that he record on this video. Watch 4:36-4:37 he plays not the actual sound of the audio. But this dude is a legend one of my influence!

[seanogorman]

This was definitely AVA's best album and line up of musicians, absolutely amazing!

My daughter was born on 11/11/16, 5th year anniversary of Love Pt 2. Named her Ava. This band will always mean so much to my friends and I - plus my daughter and I jam to AVA all the time

[i-Empire]

Holy cow I miss you so much in AVA. So much passion and feeling.

[ksteak]

AVA.... still my favorite band of all time. You guys were onto something different.... and we loved it!

[SAMHPWRTH]

I-empire AVA is absolutely spectacular, it has a special part of my life I’ll never forget

[arsip_ihsankl]

one of the drummers that makes me want to play drum!

[jerodharris]

This gives me all the feels. I was working on a music video shoot from hell, deep in the jungles of Mexico, alone and out of the country for the first time working on my dream job and this album literally got me thru the entire ordeal. This song was my rock. Everytime I hear it, it takes me back to a magical time of my life.

I remember watching you play the intro to Star of Bethlehem at the Koolhaus in Toronto years ago. Dave was playing a big drum with you on stage. It was epic and moving. Many unforgettable feelings thanks to your music and drumming. It is irreplaceable. Thank you.
