Wikipedia article
"'The Days of the Phoenix'" is a song by the American rock band AFI. It was released to radio as the only single from their fifth studio album 'The Art of Drowning' in 2000.
Background
According to 'Alternative Press', AFI "used to play at a venue in Petaluma, California, called the Phoenix Theater, and the track serves as a nod to their roots and early beginnings as a band."
Music video
A music video directed by Marc Webb was shot in 14 Below, a music venue located in Santa Monica, California.
It features the band performing on stage in front of an excited audience. During the song's bridge, multiple versions of vocalist Davey Havok are seen quoting the bridge's lyrics, one by one.
