As a teenager whose school now trains us to be prepared for an eventual shooting (they put us in situations where we are timed and need to lock door, close lights, block door, etc.) I can say that I don’t want to learn how to survive a school shooting, I want the government to put their efforts in preventing them.
Why would they do that, that means less money put towards wars we start, or deaths to make us scared so we fall for their tricks and we become a socialist society.
I remember years ago while I was in elementary we'd have these drill that where we had to close the windows and lock the doors they said it was in case someone that wasn't supposed to be on the campus was on the campus and only now I realize how messed up that was
@Datmemeboi thank goodness we were not at Parkland but, unbelievably, one of our former choir kids was at Saugus High School last week. This gives us even more reason to sing grandson's song again and again. xoxThe West Los Angeles Children's Choir
Prince Havoc it hit me hard too. Reminds me of a story I heard: a shooting was happening at a school and a Kindergarten teacher told all of the kids in her class to hide in their cubbies, and they did. When the shooter came in and asked her where the kids were, she said they were in the gym (which no kids were in there in the entire school) and he left, but before he did he shot and killed the teacher. That teacher single-handedly saved over 20 children.
Yea, arm the teachers. If everyone has a gun, no one will pull a gun. Notice they always hit soft targets, or rather, the soft target receive the most casualties.
Linette Britton we’d have to practice lockdowns in elementary school. Turn of all the lights, shut the blinds, lock the doors, sit clustered in a corner and be silent. It’s only looking back that I realize how fucked up that is
Yeah, some of these comments that just trash the meaning and say “well gUnS aRe iMpOrTaNt!11,!!” And it breaks my heart because I am one of those Xs. I was thirteen, and I had four baby siblings in the same Pre-K to 12 school. The oldest sibling was eleven. It enrages me to see so may people just step on the meaning of this song without thinking.
Indeed .people never address the root of the problem so nothing gets accomplished it’s so sad .I’m so fucking sick of politicians exploiting these tragedies for their own selfish interests children are dying and all their care about is themselves
@@heythere6405 No they're serious, nearly did in my school but the teachers didn't want them because my idiot schoolboard wanted them to have them without any training and flat refused til they gave up
I remember when this song was released after the parkland shooting. Four years ago when I was a freshman in highschool.. It's now been a full year since I graduated. Nothing changed. Nothing truly got accomplished. I refuse to ever have children if I have to worry about just sending them to school.
Safety is an illusion, you were never fully protected. Objectively, homicide rate in America is fairly low and it's higher in places with more anti-gun laws.
This was the first thing I listened to after my school was the most recent victim. A month ago I commented “shivers.” I’ve never related more now. This song blasted on our car speakers as we rushed to pick up my young sisters from another school. The older one (11) ran into my arms sobbing. When I woke up that morning to hear the news (I was out sick) the first thing I asked was “how many?” We got lucky here in Noblesville. Never again should a 14 year old have to ask how many of her friends are dead.
Madison Riley's Spam/Channel gosh that’s absolutely terrible. I hope your daughter wont suffer from ptsd or anything like that. Im very sorry for your losses
"they want to arm the teachers" "no thoughts no prayers can bring back whats no longer there" this hit deep, absolutely amazing, can't wait for the music video
@@samtheman6869 normally people that use sarcasm online give some way to tell it's sarcasm. It is hard to tell someone trying to use sarcasm from someone who is just brain dead due to the fact that it is impossible to hear voice tone from text. And I'm sure you crop from the bunch of people who think they are much better to anyone else on the Internet due to how you responded to my mistake. Fact check:Your not.
there is nothing more horrifying, from an outsider point of view, than seeing multiple comments that say some variation of 'this is still relevant' and you look at the date for them and they were posted 3 years ago, 1 year ago, and 2 hours ago (besides the actual shootings). this comment section is honestly a timeline of US shootings since March of 2018 and i don't understand why your government won't do anything. (date is 25th of may (gmt) and ted cruz tweeting about keeping the families of texas in his prayers reminded me of this song.)
A lot of the people in America don’t like the way things are, but no one in power listens, and if they do there are enough people who value precious guns over little kids to keep us paralyzed. I’m moving to Canada.
@@beaniecollection5152 same, I’ve wanted to move to Canada for a long time due to the political climate in the US always being so toxic. Too bad things are bad in Ukraine, I’ve wanted to go and maybe live there since 2019. (I love your comment and pfp by the way. It sucks how some people value their weapons over the lives of children)
@@SerfOfTheYear Thank you! Seriously, Ukraine minus the war and Canada are super safe. I have a plan. I’m saving money. Bit by bit. Piece by piece. I will drive myself to Canada and enjoy my minimal gun violence.

Honestly, it would be so much better if he didn't have to make *this* kind of songs, but I suppose that students protesting and this passive aggressive genre of songs is the only way anyone fights against gun violence these days, so I'm glad for such little treasures as is this song...
@@chaotic_d1saster I'm very sorry about what happened. I hope everyone is okay and you are safe. You deserve to be safe. Seeing all the X's appear on the map makes me feel awful. Humanity is not ok
Tracer Herself thank you and don’t worry. Only one boy was shot and we are family friends with his family. He is alive and well, going into his second year of college. But it was still not a good experience, especially when I had four little siblings there from ages eleven to five. That left some marks on the mind of thirteen year old me, like causing a death-triggered anxiety disorder, but I’m surviving and it gets better since then. It’s been two and a half years now, and I’m moving on. But I will never forgive this many Xs and how many children felt what I did that day.
"You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn...How many hearts will be broken...how many lives shattered...how much blood will spill until everybody does what they're *always* going to have to do from the very beginning, SIT DOWN, AND TALK!!!!!!"-The Doctor from Doctor Who, 2015.
- An excess of talk, rather that action, is the problem here. Do you know what the title of the song is even referring to? - Saying that a real life problem that is killing real people is just like your #fandom comes off unserious at best and insulting at worst
@@isnotmimi what I'm saying is that killing never solves anything. The Doctor believes so too as (presumably) Grandson does. That's why I put this comment up.
lol Defensive? It was a joke. (When the comment was made there was high amounts of volcanic activity in Hawaii.) Then in the same comment I literally wished them and their loved ones safe....
going back here due to the recent shootings. i hope you all are safe -- im nowhere near the US but watching the news makes me so goddamn sad for the people living there.
Legit a suspected shooter at my high school earlier today in fact it had cops roaming the school all day. I kinda feel dejavu from the bomb threats last year
ploolpy doops Yeah, it’s rough seeing your own school’s little x pop up. I got PTSD from it, and loud noises send me into panic attacks. The struggle to face my PTSD isn’t going well. I hate living here. We’re all dying in our own schools and not a soul could care.
.... Since when does the amount of words matter? The greatest statements have been made with the fewest words. Let's get a few examples up here. "With great power; comes great responsibility" "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." "Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind." "Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live." "From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate." "A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants." "Life without love is meaningless, but love without life is also meaningless." "Everything that ends can never be had again, and since everything ends everything is priceless."
I really can't describe the feelings I felt when I saw Grandson play this song live in 2019 and the name of my hometown scrolled by with names of other cities with school shootings. It's a really powerful song and important message.
it’s so heartbreaking how i’ve become so desensitized to everything, just growing up in such a violent and hateful time.. from 9/11 to sandy hook to all the mass shootings and police brutality that occurs every day. i turn on the tv and it doesnt even affect me anymore. i mean, yes it breaks my heart to see all the victims and the hurt and pain that everyone is going through.. but im just, slowly accepting that no one in power cares about these people and their safety and we’re all just left to fend for ourselves..
The sad truth this song is relevant almost every week in America. This year alone their was over 420 mass shootings. Averaging about 1.19 shootings a day.
It's the beginning of 2020 and there has already been 14 shootings. Kansas City, Missouri San Antonio, Texas Grantsville, Utah Chicago, Illinois Des Moines, Iowa Aurora, Colorado Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi Atlanta, Georgia Ocala, Florida Brooklyn, New York St. Louis, Missouri Cleveland, Ohio Huntington, West Virginia Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico How many were killed: 20 Injured: 45 Involved: 79
can we all just take a minute to talk about how grandson knows what he's talking about? I'm not even talking about his opinions on the situation like whether Republicans vs Democrats is better for society. no, he actually is informed on the issues of today's culture. he's someone in our generation who, instead of using his platform to talk about sex, drugs, love, he talks about real issues. that is why he will always be one of my favorite artists. edit: let's think. maybe if America has lots of school shootings, we should take away the very guns that cause them.
@Yuri Soyboyka please take a minute to notice something. I did not insult the artist or anyone's opinion. I did not even give mine, nor did grandson. maybe I have the same view as you, maybe I dont. all I did was say that I thought that it was an amazing outlet that a person was choosing to speak out against school shootings. yes, they are tragic. but I did not give my opinion to how I think the best way to approach them would be. I simply spread a little positivity to the artist, which we dont even have enough of. I do not care for anyone's political views. I am simply here for the music 💛
Yuri Soyboyka PKAY this is an issue that isn’t going to be solved in this comment section cause our massive government can’t! What you should realize is why do we only care about gun control when the violence came to white comunities gang violence has always been in an issue. Young blacks kids getting shot who cares cries our government. Suburbs kids get shot oh no we have to do something. I don’t buy people fighting for gun rights as genuine just because of their hypocrisy. That’s my own opinion pay attention to what people aren’t talking about not what they are.
@Yuri Soyboyka legal of course; when someone bring facts into a situation an opinion is invalid, guns are causing more problems than solving currently, that is a fact, and I agree with gun ownership. Ignoring the problem doesn't solve it, grandson is not making anything up, this is the what's going on in our country, you can not deny that.
Government is playing Golf and trying to buy greenland... well at least that's what the president is doing... oh and of course producing more guns that can kill many more people
I don’t live in America, I don’t even live in a place where guns can be carried freely, but this song is so important and speaks so much truth. The whole world needs to change.
Snippy zee Captain’s minion the fact that I'll be able to carry a gun on me when I move to texas is about half the reason I'm moving there. It is what makes America great
Just a comment from a friend from Brasil: We don't have acess to guns here, they've become illegal in 2003 (not because people wanted, because the governament fucked us), but guess what.. our murder rate by guns is 5 (FIVE!!) times bigger than in the U.S., and they only increased since then. Normal citizens can't get acess to weapons, but CRIMINALS GET THEM ANYWAY, and there's nothing that will stop them. "All nations where guns are banned have less crime and murder in general." - Yeah, right. Get your fucking facts right, and don't fucking lose your right to own a gun, because here we are trying hard to regain ours. Your problem aren't guns, and if you really think it is, please, change place with me, I'd love to live in U.S, have a gun and actually be able to AT LEAST protect myself from the monstruous number of daily murders and robbers. *I'm replying this everytime I see an anti-gun comment, because.. oh boy, it looks like people don't like to think*
@@zHeroGamer Might wanna update your "facts". It has been proven that more guns = more violence www.scientificamerican.com/article/more-guns-do-not-stop-more-crimes-evidence-shows/
@@zHeroGamer well lining in South Korea, where any kind of guns are prohibited to own, but every male goes to military and is trained in gun use, I can say gun violence is so low. I have never seen police pull a gun even. Suicide rates are high here sadly, but close to none are committed by firearm and it makes me feel very safe to know that nobody around me could have a gun anywhere to hurt me with.
@@zHeroGamer This is rather because of the fact that your government is unable to actually enforce this law. Most countries with more strict weapon laws also have less gun violence. The only "school shooting" in my country I know is that 40 years ago someone built his own flame thrower and attacked an elementary school with it killing around ten kids. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate Sort the list by homicides and then look up for those countries with a low rate whether there are high or low restrictions for owning guns there. Get your facts right and stop blaming your country's incompetence on everyone else.
I don't live in the USA, but... I feel horrible about situation with schoolshootings in US. So many innocent kids died, so many lifes became broken. Despite the fact that in my country (Russia) there are few such situations (probably), this song hit me pretty hard. Grandson, thank you for raising this topic.
I love the message of this song. Note the chorus: "No thought, no prayers can bring back what's no longer there" Doing nothing is getting nothing done. Keep your thoughts and prayers because they're not helping. Stand up and fight for what's right in order to make a true difference.
I agree. Though, I interpreted it as the voices of the children that were killed. It may sound kinda dark but it sounds like they're condemning the people from the past who felt bad but didn't do anything to keep their deaths from happening.
The way that I am scared to go to school for the fear I might be shot. I’ve been in a school shooting before. I’ve seen my own friends get shot. I’ve had to hide in the back room where we hope we get found. No it wasn’t the “quiet kid”. It was a grown man. They kill who they can kill and some of then get out with no scratches while my friends bodies lay on the floor. Everytime I hear a fire work I think of hiding in my closet. This song speaks the truth. No kid should experience what I had to.
you are the only one who can defend yourself. learn to use a knife. or better yet, guns. dont let fear consume you, if you dont fight others will get hurt, and you cant hide forever.
@@20tigerpaw20 if by this you are saying that you're against guns law restrictions, know that this logic is kinda flawed. Let's make an example: Guy 1 has gone crazy, so he goes to buy a gun and starts shooting around in his school. Guy 2 has a gun too, so he shoots at guy 1 to stop him. Best possible scenario: one death, guy 1 is dead. Worst possible scenario: guy 1 and a lot of people are dead. Now, immagine if there weren't any guns available: there wouldn't be any victims, or at least less victims, because there is always the possibility to buy guns illegally, but it's way more difficult than to just buy a gun at the supermarket. No guns, less deaths.
@@ilovepancakes2545 if guy 1 wants to get a gun to shoot people, laws are NOT going to stop him. if guy 2 wants a gun to stop bad people, he will be stopped from getting one under "gun control". criminals are called such because they...guess what? DONT. OBEY. LAWS. also, people are denied the sale of a gun more often then you think, as gun store owners do watch/listen for clues that a person may be crazy/not in their right mind/a bit too angry/etc.
@@20tigerpaw20 well, I can agree that people that really want to kill someone else will always find a way to buy a gun, but it's way more difficult to buy them illegally, don't you think? You have to know the right people and stuff, it's quite easy to make a straight face and act normal at a gun shop. I am from Europe, and guns aren't available for sale, and guess what? There has never been I school shooting in my city. Neither in other cities. Which kinda proves my point, I think.
@@ilovepancakes2545 and how many schools, parks, and other public places have had chemical/bomb/stabbing/vehicle attacks over there? a gun is a tool like any other, just because it is designed to hit a nail dosent mean it cant be used to smash a rock.
We're all on here counting the number of mass shootings. This video was posted on March 23rd of 2018. Since then there have been 603 shootings. 334 of which were THIS year. Of course, some of them are less severe than others, but what does that matter? Grandson is constantly writing songs about our own country and what it is and what it's becoming. I still think this song is the most powerful, as it continues to apply to every. Single. Day.
this song literally broke me into tears my school was evacuated on tuesday because of a gunman threat. this songs brings me so much hope, there are adults out there that care and we arent alone. thank you for supporting us. ill do as much as i can to rpomote this song as much as humanly possible
Lots of people care about school shooting. They just disagree on how to stop them. You cant take peoples guns in a country like america. There are SO MANY guns and the right to bear arms is so deeply ingrained that an attempt to do so would cause more bloodshed than school shooting ever have. Anyway what we need is much more money devotes to school security. Tight gun laws or even banning private gun ownership wouldn't get rid of guns. Did banning drugs get rid of drugs? Schools just need to be safer.
I’m siick writing this..,19 elementary schoolers and 3 of they’re teachers all gone, 10 days after 10 people were just shopping and their lives were ended. I’m so so sorry to those kids we couldn’t save and to all the future victims of mass attacks, the families lose a loved one and the survivors are forever traumatized..we need this to stop..please!
This song legit makes me cry. It genuinely hurts, I can distinctly remember my 4th grade teacher cried to us on the anniversary of Columbine because she lost her son in that shooting. I distinctly remember in 3rd grade my school went into lockdown because there was an armed man. Nothing bad happened, but I went home in tears. I remember my parents picked me and my brother up after his school locked down because there was an armed student on his campus. I remember distinctly when the Arapaho shooting happened. The same school my brother graduated from was shot up. I remember this probably the most vividly because I had 3 friends there. My mom called in for me to be picked up. She picked me up crying. My two friends were shot. One was killed, the other had internal bleeding but survived. My brothers friends little brother was also shot. I remember the school my cousin went to. Was shot. She was alive. These happen way to fucking often. I remember my friend came to me crying because his friend was shot and killed on Valentine’s Day. I remember my best friend calling me crying, when my school went on lockdown because he’s in another fucking country and couldn’t stand it if I was killed.
No one should ever have to experience this. This is completely awful for literally anyone and is not in any way ok or acceptable. I’m so sorry for your loss.

@@QuinnArgo Wow do you really expect untrained armed citizens to fight back against the US government if it ever becomes tyrannical? The US government has four branches of military and let's not forget nuclear bombs. Your whole argument for being pro gun is based upon naivety or just to piss liberals off. Does your justification for being pro gun include give insane people an easy option to murder teenagers just so you can fight for your idea of freedom?
@@xmm-cf5eg I think you're forgetting the fact that back then, guns were incredibly underdeveloped compared to now. back then, you could shoot maybe five times in, what, ten minutes? five minutes? now you can kill tens of people in seconds. also, if the government wants us dead, they'll make sure we're dead. a few rifles are never going to stand against tanks and other military-grade weaponry

My school got shot up today. Even though there were numerous threats of a shooting, the head of an animal corpse in the courtyard, and words spray painted on the windows, nothing was done to prevent the tragedy. And now at least three are dead. I don’t know how to process this. I just find myself back at this song.
If ur classmates didn’t bully him, it probably would’ve never happened. At some point y’all kids are gonna have to take accountability for ur behavior. Ur not victims, ur still alive, so move on. Everybody else has moved on. The shooter was the victim and the kids he shot are the victims. The rest of rather then cryin bout surviving should instead forgive and figure out how to be happy that ur alive. And don’t tell me bout ptsd, im getting old and I guarantee I’ve lived a way worse life than u or any of ur friends. I got bad ptsd from some of the things I’ve seen and done in life. Death doesn’t bother me, cowardice does. I’m not trying to put a bandage on u like everyone else, but I’m not trying to bully u neither. I’m actually trying to help u move on and telling u some introspective tools. I’m not justifying what he did, im just helping u understand y he might have did what he did. Some people are evil, he’s gone now. So let him go. And don’t tell me it’s not easy, (cuz like I said I got bad ptsd, diagnosed legally), forgiveness is for letting go. The sooner u realize, the sooner ull be free
no thoughts and no prayers will bring back the 21 souls lost today in texas. nothing can justify the continuation of this slaughter. only action can prevent future tragedy. but the refusal of the few will spill the blood of the many. they were just babies... watch history repeat.

It's been a very long time since i've been impressed with a younger musician! My 13 year old son brought 3 new ones to my attention recently stating "Mom I know you will love them it's all things you tell me!" I liked them all but you I LOVE! I can't even explain how much, the words would not serve justice! My soul needed your music at the exact time I heard it! Listening to Stigmata on my drive as i headed from PA to NC mountains literally following the hawks the whole way was so therapeutic to me! Thank you from the depths of my soul for being you!

Why aren't powerful, relevant songs like this played on the radio instead of raps about strippers and sex? Edit: There’s a lot of “fake deep” comments and a lot of condescending things under this comment. I posted this the day after my school had its second shooting/bomb threat in ten months, so while I admit I was especially emotional about the topic, people don’t have to be so sharp and rude to each other. C’mon guys :/
Because the in the entertainment business, sex, money, and drugs is what they had decided to promote and we live in that culture they've created. Now, it's hard to transition it away from what they've promoted. Not too many parents nowadays teaching their 12-year-old children that some of their "music" isn't really okay to be listening to.
The saddest part about the video is that these are only the school shootings that happened not even in the last 30 years, it begins in 1990. It is so many, and it only gets sensationalized by the media. (Pumped up kicks?)
Em L the song tells a story. A story of a kid who gets abused bullied and harrased and it results to using drugs to "alleviate" the pain and when he finds his dads gun he takes the chance to get revenge. It's a sad story telling the tale of what has really happened before. It tries to tell the story to stop it. Not promote it.
+Eden But at the end of the day, you can't deny some - if not most - people take the song (Pumped Up Kicks) out of context or just don't understand the context of the song at all in the first place, and thus sensationalize it because all THEY are hearing are catchy beats instead of the deeper meaning behind the song. That being said, I still respect Pumped Up Kicks for what it actually is.
I think sensationalize is the correct term, it's a selling point for the NRA and its supporters to get guns into more people's hands. I Remeber the good ole days when gun commercialization was for hunting or shooting sport.. Not home protection...
No thoughts, no prayers will bring back the latest victims; May 24th, 2022, Ulvalde, TX, 19 children and 2 adults. that includes two special Ed students aged 8 and 10 who's time was only lengthened by their teacher sacrificing herself.

It was deep, it had a meaning, and it was just my type of style. Every other song never failed to reach my expectations and I have truly feel in love with grandson. I've become to realized how underrated grandson is, and he deserves much more than the small fan base he is. Now this song? Is my favorite. I live in California and today was my first day of high school and I understand this song so much more than I use to. Do I think the rules are going to change soon? No. Having a gun is in our constitution, which means it will never be banned. However, rules should be stricter and we should follow out with these rules. My middle school is right next to my high school and last year I remember hearing that my current high school might go home early due to someone on the internet saying they were going to shoot up the school. Grandson never disappoints and i'm proud to be a grandson.
Same here, found him though blood/water and have been addicted to his other stuff. I wish you luck dealing with the horrors how that America is becoming. Times like this being down in NZ feels like a blessing.
As am Indian, literally the complete opposite side of the world I'm scared. Namely because where I live there's a lot of violence already happening in schools ,(busses getting pelted with rocks while children are still inside, some violence cases where I live) recently a girl was shot in the head while exiting her college in broad daylight, nothing was done about it. I don't want to be in the next "America", I don't want a "free" nation if there's no justice.
[Intro] (No thoughts, no prayers) (Can bring back what's no longer there) (The silent are damned) (The body count is on your hands) [Verse 1] Smile for the camera Another politician bought I swear I heard another shot Cash another payment Red all on the canvas It's murder on the campus Another press conference Nothing gets accomplished The suit is an accomplice Money is the motive The war is in the street Watch history repeat [Chorus] No thoughts and no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Verse 2] They lobby for the violence It's a governmental shakedown Welcome to my breakdown Bulletproof backpacks They wanna arm the teachers I think I saw the reaper Fear's good for profit Deregulate the casket They're lyin' to the masses How much will it take 'Til you get buried in the coffin that you make? Heaven's sake [Chorus] No thoughts, and no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Bridge] Turn off all the lights, nobody make a sound Ashes to ashes, we all fall down Are we out of time? Can we turn this all around? Are we out of time? Will we all fall? (All fall down) [Outro] The body count is on your hands The body count is on your hands No thoughts (no thoughts) No prayers (no prayers) No thoughts (no thoughts) The body count is on your hands No thoughts (no thoughts) No prayers (no prayers) No thoughts (no thoughts) The body count is on your hands (on your hands)
almost ironically i stumbled again in this hella deep and good Grandson's song that i forgot just a few days ago. I'm listening to it now too, from the safety of my room in my unarmed european country, as i monitor the live news from Uvalde and the body count rises. "Watch history repeat" The body count is still on their hands, and the weapon lobbies's hands have thousands of fingers
And the next X...... How many X's need the U.S.A to change something? Amazing and incredible touching song. Our thoughts are with every victim, their family and friends... ... from Germany R.I.P
The answer isn't to take our guns away. I think parents need to start being more involved with their kids(won't answer everything of course); there will NEVER be an 'end all be all' answer. Violence happens and it will always happen.

Good to know that schools really are advocating for safer campuses. It makes me feel a bit better about the country's state of mind.

'Turn off the lights, nobody make a sound'. Chilling.
i know...
I almost missed that. I don’t think I ever will now though. Thank you! ^ ^
I got a chill down my back, shit
bruh i like that part lyrically it shows real power
I thought of it as a school shooting when i heard it
As a teenager whose school now trains us to be prepared for an eventual shooting (they put us in situations where we are timed and need to lock door, close lights, block door, etc.) I can say that I don’t want to learn how to survive a school shooting, I want the government to put their efforts in preventing them.
how sad it is :(
This is fucking fucked up
Why would they do that, that means less money put towards wars we start, or deaths to make us scared so we fall for their tricks and we become a socialist society.
I remember years ago while I was in elementary we'd have these drill that where we had to close the windows and lock the doors they said it was in case someone that wasn't supposed to be on the campus was on the campus and only now I realize how messed up that was
@@onyx965 he was obviously sarcastic
this song shouldn’t have to be true to this day. i am completely heartbroken.

@Datmemeboi I don't think so. They just helped make the song.
@Datmemeboi thank goodness we were not at Parkland but, unbelievably, one of our former choir kids was at Saugus High School last week. This gives us even more reason to sing grandson's song again and again. xoxThe West Los Angeles Children's Choir

When the little kid said “ we all fall down “ hit me
hit me harder than a 7.62
Prince Havoc it hit me hard too. Reminds me of a story I heard: a shooting was happening at a school and a Kindergarten teacher told all of the kids in her class to hide in their cubbies, and they did. When the shooter came in and asked her where the kids were, she said they were in the gym (which no kids were in there in the entire school) and he left, but before he did he shot and killed the teacher. That teacher single-handedly saved over 20 children.
I swear to God I thought they said you'll float too 😂😂😂😂
That was fuckin creepy
The min I read this I heard the child at the exact same time....😢

This was the first thing I listened to after my school was the most recent victim. A month ago I commented “shivers.” I’ve never related more now. This song blasted on our car speakers as we rushed to pick up my young sisters from another school. The older one (11) ran into my arms sobbing. When I woke up that morning to hear the news (I was out sick) the first thing I asked was “how many?” We got lucky here in Noblesville. Never again should a 14 year old have to ask how many of her friends are dead.

there is nothing more horrifying, from an outsider point of view, than seeing multiple comments that say some variation of 'this is still relevant' and you look at the date for them and they were posted 3 years ago, 1 year ago, and 2 hours ago (besides the actual shootings). this comment section is honestly a timeline of US shootings since March of 2018 and i don't understand why your government won't do anything.
(date is 25th of may (gmt) and ted cruz tweeting about keeping the families of texas in his prayers reminded me of this song.)

"Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."
"Worthless people live only to eat and drink; people of worth eat and drink only to live."
"From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate."
"A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants."

"Everything that ends can never be had again, and since everything ends everything is priceless."

Good thing ya'll argue over opinions. Now tell each other which color is the prettiest and argue over that.
I really can't describe the feelings I felt when I saw Grandson play this song live in 2019 and the name of my hometown scrolled by with names of other cities with school shootings. It's a really powerful song and important message.
it’s so heartbreaking how i’ve become so desensitized to everything, just growing up in such a violent and hateful time.. from 9/11 to sandy hook to all the mass shootings and police brutality that occurs every day. i turn on the tv and it doesnt even affect me anymore. i mean, yes it breaks my heart to see all the victims and the hurt and pain that everyone is going through.. but im just, slowly accepting that no one in power cares about these people and their safety and we’re all just left to fend for ourselves..
I feel this 100%.
I was born after 911 and it didn't feel weird to me that I didn't think thousands of deaths were a lot till I saw this comment

can we all just take a minute to talk about how grandson knows what he's talking about? I'm not even talking about his opinions on the situation like whether Republicans vs Democrats is better for society. no, he actually is informed on the issues of today's culture. he's someone in our generation who, instead of using his platform to talk about sex, drugs, love, he talks about real issues. that is why he will always be one of my favorite artists.
edit: let's think. maybe if America has lots of school shootings, we should take away the very guns that cause them.
@Yuri Soyboyka please take a minute to notice something. I did not insult the artist or anyone's opinion. I did not even give mine, nor did grandson. maybe I have the same view as you, maybe I dont. all I did was say that I thought that it was an amazing outlet that a person was choosing to speak out against school shootings. yes, they are tragic. but I did not give my opinion to how I think the best way to approach them would be. I simply spread a little positivity to the artist, which we dont even have enough of. I do not care for anyone's political views. I am simply here for the music 💛
Yuri Soyboyka PKAY this is an issue that isn’t going to be solved in this comment section cause our massive government can’t! What you should realize is why do we only care about gun control when the violence came to white comunities gang violence has always been in an issue. Young blacks kids getting shot who cares cries our government. Suburbs kids get shot oh no we have to do something. I don’t buy people fighting for gun rights as genuine just because of their hypocrisy. That’s my own opinion pay attention to what people aren’t talking about not what they are.
Yuri Soyboyka false, guns do not save lives, in a study done on gun crimes it was found that only 3% of the time guns were used to protect
Yuri Soyboyka this study was done by the FBI lol
@Yuri Soyboyka legal of course; when someone bring facts into a situation an opinion is invalid, guns are causing more problems than solving currently, that is a fact, and I agree with gun ownership. Ignoring the problem doesn't solve it, grandson is not making anything up, this is the what's going on in our country, you can not deny that.

Just a comment from a friend from Brasil: We don't have acess to guns here, they've become illegal in 2003 (not because people wanted, because the governament fucked us), but guess what.. our murder rate by guns is 5 (FIVE!!) times bigger than in the U.S., and they only increased since then. Normal citizens can't get acess to weapons, but CRIMINALS GET THEM ANYWAY, and there's nothing that will stop them.
"All nations where guns are banned have less crime and murder in general." - Yeah, right. Get your fucking facts right, and don't fucking lose your right to own a gun, because here we are trying hard to regain ours.
Your problem aren't guns, and if you really think it is, please, change place with me, I'd love to live in U.S, have a gun and actually be able to AT LEAST protect myself from the monstruous number of daily murders and robbers.

This is rather because of the fact that your government is unable to actually enforce this law. Most countries with more strict weapon laws also have less gun violence. The only "school shooting" in my country I know is that 40 years ago someone built his own flame thrower and attacked an elementary school with it killing around ten kids.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate
Sort the list by homicides and then look up for those countries with a low rate whether there are high or low restrictions for owning guns there.
Get your facts right and stop blaming your country's incompetence on everyone else.

I love the message of this song.
Note the chorus: "No thought, no prayers can bring back what's no longer there"
Doing nothing is getting nothing done. Keep your thoughts and prayers because they're not helping. Stand up and fight for what's right in order to make a true difference.
Madam Cloudy Perfectly said.
Make a difference by arming schools with guns. Not gun free signs
If i felt like i had some murdering to do the first place id go would be the gun free zone. Get the most bang for your buck, so to speak.
I agree. Though, I interpreted it as the voices of the children that were killed. It may sound kinda dark but it sounds like they're condemning the people from the past who felt bad but didn't do anything to keep their deaths from happening.
I felt like the chorus meant that the lives are no longer there and no amount of thoughts or prayers can bring them back.

The way that I am scared to go to school for the fear I might be shot. I’ve been in a school shooting before. I’ve seen my own friends get shot. I’ve had to hide in the back room where we hope we get found. No it wasn’t the “quiet kid”. It was a grown man. They kill who they can kill and some of then get out with no scratches while my friends bodies lay on the floor. Everytime I hear a fire work I think of hiding in my closet. This song speaks the truth. No kid should experience what I had to.
you are the only one who can defend yourself.
learn to use a knife. or better yet, guns.
dont let fear consume you, if you dont fight others will get hurt, and you cant hide forever.
@@20tigerpaw20 if by this you are saying that you're against guns law restrictions, know that this logic is kinda flawed. Let's make an example: Guy 1 has gone crazy, so he goes to buy a gun and starts shooting around in his school. Guy 2 has a gun too, so he shoots at guy 1 to stop him. Best possible scenario: one death, guy 1 is dead. Worst possible scenario: guy 1 and a lot of people are dead. Now, immagine if there weren't any guns available: there wouldn't be any victims, or at least less victims, because there is always the possibility to buy guns illegally, but it's way more difficult than to just buy a gun at the supermarket. No guns, less deaths.
@@ilovepancakes2545 if guy 1 wants to get a gun to shoot people, laws are NOT going to stop him. if guy 2 wants a gun to stop bad people, he will be stopped from getting one under "gun control". criminals are called such because they...guess what? DONT. OBEY. LAWS.
also, people are denied the sale of a gun more often then you think, as gun store owners do watch/listen for clues that a person may be crazy/not in their right mind/a bit too angry/etc.
@@20tigerpaw20 well, I can agree that people that really want to kill someone else will always find a way to buy a gun, but it's way more difficult to buy them illegally, don't you think? You have to know the right people and stuff, it's quite easy to make a straight face and act normal at a gun shop. I am from Europe, and guns aren't available for sale, and guess what? There has never been I school shooting in my city. Neither in other cities. Which kinda proves my point, I think.
@@ilovepancakes2545 and how many schools, parks, and other public places have had chemical/bomb/stabbing/vehicle attacks over there?
a gun is a tool like any other, just because it is designed to hit a nail dosent mean it cant be used to smash a rock.
It hurts cause if the map was updated there would be a lot more x’s and it’s only been a year
For God's sake, every song of his is amazing. I adore this dude so much, his music is really meaningful, y'know?
Banana Seok yeah, I know. That's exactly why I love his music: it's meaningful unlike most of the songs nowadays.
Same! He sounds amazing AND what he's saying is so intense and important
ahahahaha for "Gods" sake
Etch Productions Fucking hell dude, just because I said "For god's sake" It doesn't mean i believe in God.
RIGHT?!?
We're all on here counting the number of mass shootings. This video was posted on March 23rd of 2018. Since then there have been 603 shootings. 334 of which were THIS year. Of course, some of them are less severe than others, but what does that matter? Grandson is constantly writing songs about our own country and what it is and what it's becoming. I still think this song is the most powerful, as it continues to apply to every. Single. Day.
and again it repeats itself
School should teach that grandson never disappoints
this song literally broke me into tears
my school was evacuated on tuesday because of a gunman threat. this songs brings me so much hope, there are adults out there that care and we arent alone.
thank you for supporting us. ill do as much as i can to rpomote this song as much as humanly possible
Lots of people care about school shooting. They just disagree on how to stop them. You cant take peoples guns in a country like america. There are SO MANY guns and the right to bear arms is so deeply ingrained that an attempt to do so would cause more bloodshed than school shooting ever have. Anyway what we need is much more money devotes to school security. Tight gun laws or even banning private gun ownership wouldn't get rid of guns. Did banning drugs get rid of drugs? Schools just need to be safer.
jack crose Thank You 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Slave Uninformed
Well more emotion and not a lot of logic
Megan MegNuggets are you okay?
I love Grandson they always manage to bring an important issue in their music it's not meaningless. ❤

He's literally just one guy.
He does it all on his own.
All of it.
even if he was just only one person "they" can be used when referring to a single person
Melting StarBurst he makes the songs himself and hires people to play with him.

I’m siick writing this..,19 elementary schoolers and 3 of they’re teachers all gone, 10 days after 10 people were just shopping and their lives were ended. I’m so so sorry to those kids we couldn’t save and to all the future victims of mass attacks, the families lose a loved one and the survivors are forever traumatized..we need this to stop..please!
people have started giving their kids kits to help stop bleeding from bullets

"Shooters, knock it off!" -Some RUclips commentor
Here we are again.
This song legit makes me cry. It genuinely hurts, I can distinctly remember my 4th grade teacher cried to us on the anniversary of Columbine because she lost her son in that shooting. I distinctly remember in 3rd grade my school went into lockdown because there was an armed man. Nothing bad happened, but I went home in tears. I remember my parents picked me and my brother up after his school locked down because there was an armed student on his campus. I remember distinctly when the Arapaho shooting happened. The same school my brother graduated from was shot up. I remember this probably the most vividly because I had 3 friends there. My mom called in for me to be picked up. She picked me up crying. My two friends were shot. One was killed, the other had internal bleeding but survived. My brothers friends little brother was also shot. I remember the school my cousin went to. Was shot. She was alive. These happen way to fucking often. I remember my friend came to me crying because his friend was shot and killed on Valentine’s Day. I remember my best friend calling me crying, when my school went on lockdown because he’s in another fucking country and couldn’t stand it if I was killed.
No one should ever have to experience this. This is completely awful for literally anyone and is not in any way ok or acceptable. I’m so sorry for your loss.
oh my god, this is awful. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. I deeply hope you've been better more recently
Peek-a-boo
Damn, I lived in new york, fortunately never had to experience this, but reading to this made me chill up. I'm so sorry, for what little it means

(No thoughts, no prayers)
(Can bring back what's no longer there)

(The body count is on your hands)
[Verse 1]
Smile for the camera
Another politician bought
I swear I heard another shot
Cash another payment
Bled all on the canvas
There's murder on the campus
Another press conference
Nothing gets accomplished
The shooter's an accomplice
Money is the motive
The wars in the street
Watch history repeat

Bow before the violence
It's a governmental shakedown
Welcome to my breakdown
Bulletproof backpacks
They want to arm the teachers

I'm pretty sure it's "can't bring back what's no longer there", i.e. the victims
A K ♥️
GotPotatoes24 Yeah but it's like "no thoughts _can_ bring back"
Cried to this song years ago and do so now, because it is still way too painfully accurate... Especially with what went down these past few days...
Whenever it's in the news, I come back here to cry and feel betrayed by my country 😮💨
This is because Trump said "well I send my thoughts and prayers--" and one of the kids from the school that had a shooting lashed out at him and said" we don't want your prayers we want help"
Quint Explain why you are pro-gun. Debates intrigue me.
silence.• I’m not pro gun haha...it’s ok if you are but something about it scares me, like to be SO concerned about not being able to have a gun is freaky (and not the good kind) it’s ok if you want a little bb-gun for protection but Machine guns are definitely not necessary...
Quint actually those are usually the ones who are able to GET the gun in the first place..
@@QuinnArgo Wow do you really expect untrained armed citizens to fight back against the US government if it ever becomes tyrannical? The US government has four branches of military and let's not forget nuclear bombs. Your whole argument for being pro gun is based upon naivety or just to piss liberals off. Does your justification for being pro gun include give insane people an easy option to murder teenagers just so you can fight for your idea of freedom?
@@xmm-cf5eg I think you're forgetting the fact that back then, guns were incredibly underdeveloped compared to now. back then, you could shoot maybe five times in, what, ten minutes? five minutes? now you can kill tens of people in seconds. also, if the government wants us dead, they'll make sure we're dead. a few rifles are never going to stand against tanks and other military-grade weaponry
Hearing the children sing the first part is haunting, incredibly impressive song
When the little kid said: “We all fall down”
Hits me hard
Anyone who has been affected my terrorist attacks, school shooting, knife crime, anything like that,
Everyone is thinking of you ❤️
Might want to fix my => by, but yeah agreed

I wish this would've been released 2 days earlier when I had to write an essay about a song of my choice, I looked for hours to find a song with actual meaning, in the end I took some random song, BUT THIS ONE IS AWESOME AND I'M MAD NOW
Exo's personal trash can Well, you could took the "overdose"
Exo's personal trash can war pig by black Sabbath.
You could used one of his other songs because like they all have really deep messages in my opinion
Weirdly enough, almost any song by Little Big (Russian band, they're singing about the fcked up things in their country)

I thought it was "heads"
i think its heads not hands
My school got shot up today. Even though there were numerous threats of a shooting, the head of an animal corpse in the courtyard, and words spray painted on the windows, nothing was done to prevent the tragedy. And now at least three are dead. I don’t know how to process this. I just find myself back at this song.
I had no idea about previous warnings like this, only that the murderer posted about it on his social media. I'm so sorry.
If ur classmates didn’t bully him, it probably would’ve never happened. At some point y’all kids are gonna have to take accountability for ur behavior. Ur not victims, ur still alive, so move on. Everybody else has moved on. The shooter was the victim and the kids he shot are the victims. The rest of rather then cryin bout surviving should instead forgive and figure out how to be happy that ur alive. And don’t tell me bout ptsd, im getting old and I guarantee I’ve lived a way worse life than u or any of ur friends. I got bad ptsd from some of the things I’ve seen and done in life. Death doesn’t bother me, cowardice does. I’m not trying to put a bandage on u like everyone else, but I’m not trying to bully u neither. I’m actually trying to help u move on and telling u some introspective tools. I’m not justifying what he did, im just helping u understand y he might have did what he did. Some people are evil, he’s gone now. So let him go. And don’t tell me it’s not easy, (cuz like I said I got bad ptsd, diagnosed legally), forgiveness is for letting go. The sooner u realize, the sooner ull be free
@@Snow_blvck one day your child or sibling will pass by the hand of someone like him. And the. You’ll see.
no thoughts and no prayers will bring back the 21 souls lost today in texas. nothing can justify the continuation of this slaughter. only action can prevent future tragedy. but the refusal of the few will spill the blood of the many.
they were just babies... watch history repeat.
those thoughts and prayers are not working...whats going on?? i dont think people are doing it right.
I swear grandson always know how to make a political song properly. I hope this goes places because everyone needs to hear this song right now
Incredibly effective video too
except it aint,shall we make a song about school muggings/stabbings?i think we can get much more Xs
nypost.com/2018/01/30/fatal-high-school-stabbing-leaves-westchester-enclave-shaken-to-its-core/ way more brutal when you think about it,cus they call that bullying and shit.oh she was bullyied to death,over stabbed to death violently by classmates
I think it’s a tiny bit too much but it’s very good for being a politically charged song
Just another liberal song by artist that don't know what they're talking about.
A drop in an ocean, nothing special.
„Thoughts and prayers“ for the people who died in Texas. A reminder that things didn‘t change.
It's been a very long time since i've been impressed with a younger musician! My 13 year old son brought 3 new ones to my attention recently stating "Mom I know you will love them it's all things you tell me!" I liked them all but you I LOVE! I can't even explain how much, the words would not serve justice! My soul needed your music at the exact time I heard it! Listening to Stigmata on my drive as i headed from PA to NC mountains literally following the hawks the whole way was so therapeutic to me! Thank you from the depths of my soul for being you!
It hasn't even been 24 hours..and we have another one.

Why aren't powerful, relevant songs like this played on the radio instead of raps about strippers and sex?
Edit: There’s a lot of “fake deep” comments and a lot of condescending things under this comment. I posted this the day after my school had its second shooting/bomb threat in ten months, so while I admit I was especially emotional about the topic, people don’t have to be so sharp and rude to each other. C’mon guys :/
Because the in the entertainment business, sex, money, and drugs is what they had decided to promote and we live in that culture they've created. Now, it's hard to transition it away from what they've promoted. Not too many parents nowadays teaching their 12-year-old children that some of their "music" isn't really okay to be listening to.
The songs even promote shooting people.
because of people who dont want to worry about this shit, its sad that we don't just face the worlds problems and fix them
They want the public to stay asleep.
fucking true
4 years later and nothings changed 😩
may those who passed, rest in peace, and rest in power
It's just happened again, here in Oxford, MI. This song is so apt. :-( When will enough be enough?
Yesterday it happened again…
@@tiddlestheturtle6828 I know. My heart aches.
This song was recommended to me. It's unlike anything I listen to but the lyrics hit me hard and the x's on the map. Wow. Just wow.
The saddest part about the video is that these are only the school shootings that happened not even in the last 30 years, it begins in 1990. It is so many, and it only gets sensationalized by the media. (Pumped up kicks?)
Dinosaur Kin. Yeah, I love it. I do think it 'romanticizes' school shootings though. Portraying it as cool instead of the death of innocent kids.
Uh, I don't
Em L the song tells a story. A story of a kid who gets abused bullied and harrased and it results to using drugs to "alleviate" the pain and when he finds his dads gun he takes the chance to get revenge. It's a sad story telling the tale of what has really happened before. It tries to tell the story to stop it. Not promote it.
+Eden
But at the end of the day, you can't deny some - if not most - people take the song (Pumped Up Kicks) out of context or just don't understand the context of the song at all in the first place, and thus sensationalize it because all THEY are hearing are catchy beats instead of the deeper meaning behind the song.
That being said, I still respect Pumped Up Kicks for what it actually is.
I think sensationalize is the correct term, it's a selling point for the NRA and its supporters to get guns into more people's hands. I Remeber the good ole days when gun commercialization was for hunting or shooting sport.. Not home protection...
THIS NEEDS TO BE BLASTED ON LOOP IN PROTEST ON THE FRONT DOOR OF OUR TEXAS CAPITAL

From Clovis new Mexico for the library shooting thank god my sister wasn't working that day
I've never heard of grandson until a little over a week ago. The first song I've ever heard was Blood//Water and I fell in love with it. It was deep, it had a meaning, and it was just my type of style. Every other song never failed to reach my expectations and I have truly feel in love with grandson. I've become to realized how underrated grandson is, and he deserves much more than the small fan base he is. Now this song? Is my favorite. I live in California and today was my first day of high school and I understand this song so much more than I use to. Do I think the rules are going to change soon? No. Having a gun is in our constitution, which means it will never be banned. However, rules should be stricter and we should follow out with these rules. My middle school is right next to my high school and last year I remember hearing that my current high school might go home early due to someone on the internet saying they were going to shoot up the school.
Grandson never disappoints and i'm proud to be a grandson.
Same.. I found blood and water and got addicted to his songs.
Same here, found him though blood/water and have been addicted to his other stuff. I wish you luck dealing with the horrors how that America is becoming. Times like this being down in NZ feels like a blessing.
Me too and after hearing his song overdose my perception of life changed so much
I found Darkside and got addicted.
Im happy to see someone spread the word.
Beautiful song also.
Sure love the fact that this only gets more and more relevant as time goes on. My fucking god, can you imagine if prayers ended this all by now?
My school is pretty much made of glass and doesnt have good security, going to school everyday thinking "what if" petrified me sometimes...

Australian here (,:
As am Indian, literally the complete opposite side of the world I'm scared. Namely because where I live there's a lot of violence already happening in schools ,(busses getting pelted with rocks while children are still inside, some violence cases where I live) recently a girl was shot in the head while exiting her college in broad daylight, nothing was done about it. I don't want to be in the next "America", I don't want a "free" nation if there's no justice.

Bruh I don't want to start anything, but what would you change? I've thought long and hard and I can't see an effective solution.
The answer isn't to take our guns away. I think parents need to start being more involved with their kids(won't answer everything of course); there will NEVER be an 'end all be all' answer. Violence happens and it will always happen.
It's not only the guns, to say that is stupid. It's your mental health care system
Draven Ocklost lol taking away our guns wouldn’t do shit.
so taking the guns wouldn't do shit? surely school shooters could just buy some from somalia on the go, if they're not available in the US anymore.
Once again relevant, unfortunately. I’m tired of seeing school shootings.
Please revisit this. Four years later and we're still sitting in moments of silence and nothing is changing.
I am mad that I am here listening to this again and sharing it for the same reason
