"Seize the Day" is the fourth single from Avenged Sevenfold's album, City of Evil. Unlike the last three singles from this album, "Beast and the Harlot", "Bat Country", and "Burn it Down", this song is a soft power ballad. Many fans have noted that this song is similar to the Guns N' Roses song "Don't Cry" due to the epic guitar solo, vocal texture, harmonic progressions, and rhythm. The video itself also happens to be very similar to Guns N Roses' video "November Rain".
[edit] Music Video
The video is based on a couple in love and expecting a child. Matt's friends (the rest of Avenged Sevenfold) come to his house to make plans to rob a store. In the process, Matt gets caught by the police while the others drive off, leaving him behind. Matt goes to jail, while in jail Matts girlfriend comes to visit him. They get into a fight, while driving home his girlfriend is hit by a van. in the showing of the funeral scene, her body is lowered into the ground, Synyster Gates is shown playing the guitar solo on top of her casket. At the end of the video, Matt is at her grave, with their son, who had survived the crash, he is standing over her grave when the rest of the band come over to him. He picks up his son and they all walk away.
