As an introvert, this song so resonates with me and the need to recharge and be by my self for awhile. Somewhere peaceful, and SERENE. So beautifully put together, the song itself is like a meditation. I am glad to see it has touched so many others in a similar way, even to this day it still does.
My Mom started her journey to the spirit world. This was one her fave bands. She would jam the whole album. Love you always Mom Henri. We'll miss you every day until we meet again....fly high Angel. You're good now!! Thank you for loving me unconditionally. You were the best Mom anyone could ask for.
This song makes me close my eyes and makes me almost cry. This is full of "That something" that touches me deep inside my soul. Thank you for creating this song
God just led me to this song and I’m here to tell you that all things with supernatural beauty that you just can’t quite put to words... those are a taste of God.
The lyrics makes more and more sense the older you get too. It gets easier, even anxiety can go away with experience and sheer power of will. The path is long, treacherous and did I say long? - but it's worth it. Nothing lasts forever, not even the worst of times.
The song ages like fine wine... literally 17 years later and it is just as relevant today as it was back in 2003. Thank goodness for Sully. He is truly a musical genius.
In 2007 I was drowning In a meth addiction I found out I was pregnant and stopped cold turkey it was super ruff I heard this song and realized I needed Serenity 8 months later I had Serenity Dawn she was named for this song because she was my savior she was indeed my serenity I needed
My grandfather quit smoking after a heart attack. I was also told he didn't want me to see him smoking as I had just been born. That was almost 40 years ago. My middle name was taken from his first. We all mis him dearly.
I was visiting a friend in Roanoke, Va in 2010. While in a music store, looking for some Gr8 reggae albums, I was immediately taken in by this song, as it played throughout the store & before leaving, I HAD to know the name of this Band! It's now 5 yrs later & after my Mom passed, 7/7/14... it's just what I TRULY NEED!! #Serenity!!#TheRightPlaceAtTheRightTime!! #RIPMom!!😓💔✌💯
It really, really is. I liked Godsmack all those years ago, I moved on as I grew older. The songs are good but kinda samey. But then you’ve got this song... stuck with me throughout the years, it’s second to none. There is no song that transports me to a different place like this one does.
Amen. Serenity. Peace. Faith. Hope. Unconditional love. One soul. One heart. 1st. Cor. 13. 11:11. Beautiful positive bright new future with forgiveness for the past. Life is so amazing!!! God's got this!!! Follow your heart. Home.
All the hardships Neil Peart endured in his life in the late 90's are unimaginable. This is a perfect song written for him. R.I.P. Mr. Peart😔❤ Exit the Warrior
This is such a great band and I don't think they get enough attention. They play their instruments well and Sully has that great metal band voice. But he shows his range with songs like this.
My daughter was born 2 days ago. Godsmack is my very first inspiration in every way. We named her Serenity Lynne Ellis. After this song. I love you guys. Thank you. 💜
The lyrics are just different and not a lot of people truly understand what message is being told. This song is timeless and, in my humble opinion, perfect.
I am a guitarist who got 3rd prize in a national guitar competition in India at 2017 and this song will always have a special place in my heart because I was listening to this track on an on before my performance and it sure helped me to perform nicely. I need SERENITY. GODSMACK RULES..
I am a nurse and since the change of our world in 2020 I can listen to this song over and over and it help me stay calm and focused to get through the demand of long shift, staff shortages. Thank you for being such a timeless band that can touch so many souls.
My daughter would have been 10. Her name was Serenity, when I get sad I sit and just listen to this on replay.. I like to think that she was just too special and she was needed elsewhere.
This is WICKED and there is no band in my opinion that will ever compare to Godsmack, I feel as if I can relate to all of their songs one way or another, I love em.Godsmack is my drug now and forever
I named my oldest daughter after this song... I was in a dark place in 2007 and the faceless album helped me through so much. I would find out later, that Serenity is also an old Dorney family name. So my oldest girl is honoring the ancestors as well. Thank you, namaste and blessed be ~Nate
I have been listening to Godsmack ever since I was born in 2002. Me and my dad bonded through life listening to them. Anytime I listen to Godsmack I call my dad and crank it up.
Godsmack has an amazing tendency to produce music that blends the human voice with instrumental acoustics to create a mesmerizing, unified sound that is the equivalent of an auditory orgasm. Voodoo was the first I'd heard from them many years ago and I was hooked. Sully's lyrics are thought-provoking and his voice is perfectly controlled to compliment the musical score instead of being in competition with it like other artists. I feel this deep in the recesses of my brain. It's known that classical music can stimulate neurons and this does as well.
I remember seeing Godsmack when my daughter was in diapers and she was on Daddys shoulders screaming Godsmack over and over. She is now 25. Time flies. All your fans love all of you and your thoughts on us Thank you guys for all the great music.
@sullyerna_ I got to meet you guys 25 years ago and you guys were awesome. My daughter again wants to see you guys. We are working on Rocklahoma tickets. We will always love you guys and your music.
@sullyerna_ Not yet, but I will figure it out. Is there a way to contact you through chat? And yes, I was shocked when you replied and happy to know you are supported and loved.
I've always loved this song plus my Mom RIP use to collect anything with the Serenity Prayer. Also the song relaxes me makes me wanna light some candles and zone out
Same here. At the time, I liked them, but they only had one album and I was thinking "these arent the guys I want my first concert to be." Now, after all the stuff they put out that I absolutely LOVE, I'm proud/psyched to say it
Not much keeps the demons away these days but reflecting on this song and lyrics from years past not only keeps them at bay but puts them to sleep long enough to function. Listen to this EVERY DAY.
For those that don't know - "Serenity," vocalist Sully Erna reached to one of his idols for inspiration. Not only was Rush drummer Neil Peart a childhood role model for the singer before he traded in drums for a mic and PA, the acrobatic drummer's obsession with motorcycles is one shared by Godsmack's frontman. So, when Erna read Peart's book, "Ghost Rider" -- which is about his experiences hopping on a hog and road-tripping around the country to cope with the tragic loss of his daughter and wife -- the Godsmack singer was so blown away he wrote "Serenity" in tribute".
Beautiful song. 10 years goes by so fast. I love many of Godsmack songs. Yet Serenity and Spiral really feels like i know and love for eternity, cos they are timeless.
We all need serenity.
For real this year been shit for a lot of people
Правда 🫂
My name is Serenity
I never get sick of listening to Godsmack. Sully Erna has to be one of the top male vocalist of all time.
Without a doubt
Wierdos
Sully is one of the most talented musicians . He can play so many different instruments it's crazy .
Serenity Sequeria How do you say “wierdos” when you were probably named after this song? Lmao
Pretty sure he thinks of himself as another Robert Plant
Godsmack is one of those rare bands that get better with every album and doesn't change to fit in
Nah. Nothing after this album was as good.
Bruh their new songs are bad.
Their new album is literally them trying to be Shinedown
Sgt. J. Peace
Tool also

Totally understand that need
❤yes
It's okay. It's hard to remember others are there and worse .. when they show up! Thankfully, I have a parrot and cats! You're not alone.
Thar desert in India is a good place to start ;)
I had the knife ready my choice was made.
This song stopped me and i will be forever grateful for this.
♥️
Glad you are still here
I'm glad something stopped you. The world would be a lesser place without you in it.
No
We're glad you're still here!
I'm 61 and this song gives me goose bumps. What a voice this dude has. Awesome!!!
Bumps in the pumps ahhh serenity now everyday should be Festivus dreamer you know I'm a dreamer ...
This is sully erna
Me too... I love this song 😍
He's BadAss💋🤘😜
😎😘
Sully wrote and dedicated this song to his musical hero, the great Neil Peart. Truly special, and a class act.
Named my daughter Serenity after this song!! Was my dads favorite so glad I was raised on good music!!
One of the most unique hard rock bands.
*Infects Agent Venom.*
My state can't mind.all ah god an axe four Play can I never missed a lick cup cake then drink up was a wasted and landed it lala taste it

This song makes me close my eyes and makes me almost cry. This is full of "That something" that touches me deep inside my soul. Thank you for creating this song
Well not more than yours. Try and do better than being this honest and deep minded. Cheers and chill
God just led me to this song and I’m here to tell you that all things with supernatural beauty that you just can’t quite put to words... those are a taste of God.
Look at the lyrics and see it. God is talking.
This song helps me calm down when i have anxiety attacks. My all time favorite song!
Mine too, same reason...
Same reason pal!
Agree my friend, never get sick of listening Godsmack !
I love this song! Will have to try listening to it the next time I have an anxiety attack. Thanks for sharing.
The lyrics makes more and more sense the older you get too. It gets easier, even anxiety can go away with experience and sheer power of will. The path is long, treacherous and did I say long? - but it's worth it. Nothing lasts forever, not even the worst of times.
2:44 I love the smile in Sully's face. May we ALL be able to laugh that deep. Best wishes and stay safe everybody ✌️
❤ best wishes to you aswell 😊
Thank you Sully Erna and the whole Godsmack family.
This song is helping me now in 2020. These guys are timeless
The song ages like fine wine... literally 17 years later and it is just as relevant today as it was back in 2003. Thank goodness for Sully. He is truly a musical genius.

This is my ALL time favorite song. To me it's very relaxing and speaks to my soul.

hi patty
So true!
My favorite band in the world. The dueling drums between Sully and Shannon is extraordinary.
In 2007 I was drowning In a meth addiction I found out I was pregnant and stopped cold turkey it was super ruff I heard this song and realized I needed Serenity 8 months later I had Serenity Dawn she was named for this song because she was my savior she was indeed my serenity I needed
Without rehab is what your saying

Congratulations for beautiful name of your baby and you realizing what is more important, way to go, hope you have support ❤❤❤❤

RIP Ghost rider
You fulfilled your passage to Bangkok. RIP Neil.
Of all the musicians passing away in my 45 years on Earth Neils hit me the hardest. R.I.P Neil Peart!
This is such a great band and I don't think they get enough attention. They play their instruments well and Sully has that great metal band voice. But he shows his range with songs like this.
Seen God Smack in concert. They were kick ass. The best concert that i have seen yet. Skully played every instrument. Besides singing! They rule!!
My daughter was born 2 days ago. Godsmack is my very first inspiration in every way. We named her Serenity Lynne Ellis. After this song. I love you guys. Thank you. 💜
The lyrics are just different and not a lot of people truly understand what message is being told. This song is timeless and, in my humble opinion, perfect.
what is the message you hear? If you dont mind me asking.
It was writen for another famous musician, when he lost his wife and child in a crash.
I am a guitarist who got 3rd prize in a national guitar competition in India at 2017 and this song will always have a special place in my heart because I was listening to this track on an on before my performance and it sure helped me to perform nicely. I need SERENITY. GODSMACK RULES..
godsmack fan from india🙏
@@anishsawant horns up.
Yes this band will take your breath away.
@@joannejohnson7305 hell yea
Godsmack is better than drugs. Except weed
I am a nurse and since the change of our world in 2020 I can listen to this song over and over and it help me stay calm and focused to get through the demand of long shift, staff shortages. Thank you for being such a timeless band that can touch so many souls.
He's really channeling the spirit of Layne Staley in this one, and it's awesome.
Yeah this sounds a lot like AIC, the harmonized vocals, the riff, the calming yet sad vibe of the song, Sully even looks like Layne in this video
3:12 is oddly reminiscent of "I Can't Remember".
Can almost hear the two heavy stinger notes from the bass guitar part in it if you know both songs.
My daughter would have been 10. Her name was Serenity, when I get sad I sit and just listen to this on replay.. I like to think that she was just too special and she was needed elsewhere.
I'm sorry for your loss 😢🙏
Sorry for your loss 🙏🏾❤️
Sorry for You Lost. My dougther is evrything for Me.
How can such a slow, chilled out song get me so pumped up and electrified? It MUST be voodoo!!!
My name is serenity love it big fan
The best sound that has ever traveled through my disturbed twisted soul no one can take this moment away.....
PRAY. They did & ARE today. ONE of the truest songs EVER!!
*RAVISHES.*
You didnt kill noone did you?

This is WICKED and there is no band in my opinion that will ever compare to Godsmack, I feel as if I can relate to all of their songs one way or another, I love em.Godsmack is my drug now and forever
By far the best show I’ve ever been too and I’ve seen good bands. Staind mudvayne 3doors down tool etc
This track is the defining song of GodSmack. A band Maturing to the point of becoming Great.
The music never seems dated regardless the age of the song. Still feels current. Plus best of Godsmack, the music has a meaning, that most can relate!
im sitting here about to pick up my son and this is blaring. some dad walked by and was like YAAAASSSS!!!
Wicked drums!! Shannon and Sully make those drums tell us a story that gets in our bones and never ends!! Beautiful in this song
This is one of my all time favorite.These guys are Awesome!
My wife absolutely loves Godsmack but mainly Sully

My daughter's middle name is Serenity and I just discovered this song. This is the 12th song on the album, and she is due on the 12th
That's a sign
12 likes as of my writing this.
Two great minds think alike. My daughters middle name is Serenity.
Coincidence? I think not
Yeah I say that's definitely a sign
I have been listening to Godsmack ever since I was born in 2002. Me and my dad bonded through life listening to them. Anytime I listen to Godsmack I call my dad and crank it up.
Sully is a true musician! I have always been a fan of Godsmack but watching his Avalon Live DVD I was blown away by the man.
one of the most beautiful songs.. Depending how are your thoughts are listening to the lyrics not just hearing them.. Big Difference between the two..
It's sad my daughter is being attacked
Serenity Sequeria. what do you mean ?? their are different ways of being attacked..
Either way truly sorry ✌😔
@@serenitysequeria6672 If by something sinister, have her pray to her Creator or to her Savior =)

Just saw them last week in Arkansas
Having been through so much, this is the only song that speaks to me to recharge my mind of all the negative things
Peace and Love and Serenity. !
I love the feel... it's like bringing jim Morrison back to life in your own respect....thank you Godsmack
You were my serenity babe..I will miss you everyday until our souls meet again, somewhere.
We go through Life not knowing when our souls did meet again, because we dont recognize the new carrier. Good luck in your searches!
As for me, everywhere I look I see only you.
Best slow calm rock, aint too slow or calm
GREAT THROW BACK❣️ 🔙💯🎶🙌💥
Absolutely love his voice !!!!!! He doesn't even have to try !! Listening to his voice is like a drug !!I'm addicted

This is among my top favorite Godsmack songs.
2022.. these guys are amazing! Godsmack come to Missouri please

One of the most underrated songs I've ever heard
I love this song. This song has been forever dedicated to my God daughter Serenity
The Best Of The Best 💯
I've always loved this song plus my Mom RIP use to collect anything with the Serenity Prayer. Also the song relaxes me makes me wanna light some candles and zone out
are you sure you wanted to say candles? :p
I just love Sully's smile 😉
My first concert ever Godsmack.. These guys have been there since I started listening to music.. Always will be a part of me!

Nice song to show Godsmack can be versatile, slowing things down a bit, Love it Still, 2018....
god smack .the best
We need it more than ever
This song touches my soul in inappropriate places everytime I listen to it!
They are awesome live. Sully Erna has a very powerful voice!
Sully is pretty damn good. Guitar, drums, harmonica, bongos, piano, and sings. What did I miss? Oh yeah, plays poker too.
20yrs and still LOVE these guys!!!
Beautiful. timeless
This song helped me through the loss of my Dad. I almost lost myself along with him.
I revisit this song after a decade, and it still generates the same feeling of longing, now in the lockdown, as it did back then
Beautiful song. 10 years goes by so fast. I love many of Godsmack songs. Yet Serenity and Spiral really feels like i know and love for eternity, cos they are timeless.
