Among many things, this song and video touch upon the subject of PTSD. There are many organizations and resources that are available to vets who are struggling with civilian life, but not everyone feels comfortable reaching out for help. Some people might not even know that they need help until it's too late. Just so that the information is out there, for anyone who may need it, the Veterans Crisis Line can be reached at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or via text to 838255.

2023 and this track still cuts deep.
We need sage back, it's been to long.❤
If you know his music there's not much to say other than, I concur.
I was thinking the same fucking thing.
my little brother committed suicide while deployed in Germany. he was constantly bullied by the other soldiers and was scared he would've been bullied for going to therapy. I wrote same after his death in 2011 and was responded to. his music helped me through so much if that time. thank you for your support.
About ten years ago, Sage changed the way I listen to music. The greatest writer in any genre ever, to me.
Fact
Fact
I don't disagree but I have him and Aesop Rock neck and neck.
i started listening to sage when 'a healthy distrust' dropped, definitely changed the way i listened to music as well!
This song had made me cry over 20 times.
G.O.A.T. This video concept is so dope...
This song just makes me want to go out and give strangers hugs.
So good.
Damn dude. I needed that this morning. Thanx Zach Byrd
No problem Joshua Green
I think everyone should do this once in awhile...never know when you might be the one to change an outcome.
Daren Redman Until you get socked in the face or charged with sexual assault and serve several years in prison...takes a lot more than a hug to change the world these days, sadly...
Royce, you should change your last name to hemlock with that poisonous defeatist attitude.
Truly an intricate melodic original sound that's his. God bless.
New Sage album in June, in addition to the mixtape we just got?! YESSssssss
This shit hits home. I graduated from HS in '02, and MANY of my peers signed on the dotted line shortly after graduation. I wasn't quite old enough yet, and moved away to another state with my family before I turned 18. Had we (I) stayed, I'd have likely signed up too. Fast forward to 2016, while most of them made it home, they'll NEVER be the same again. Ever. Now that I understand Smedley Butler was right, I feel immensely lucky. Today when I see military marketing rhetoric, I can't take it. Seeing young kids enlist makes me very sad.
Keep doing your thing and I'll see you when you're in Detroit again……er, Pontiac.
Detroit represent 👍🏼
I had to listen to this song twice. The first time I was so drawn into the video I didn't even comprehend the lyrics. The second time, I once again realized how amazing Sage is. One of my favorite rappers, and easily one of the best of all time. He tells a story through poetry with rhythm. Incredible. Amazing work
you reached through dimensions and touched me in all the right parts. mastery noted. a little cpr to originality. rapping is about your throat chakra says the wisemen. that flame is blue enough
Precisely
Another amazing Sage Francis song. I keep finding them.
Two months later this joint still manages to give me the chills. The video is great too. I wish you would do a whole album with Reanimator, you two have the perfect chemistry together.
that layer in the chorus is great. dilly is crush worthy.
Amazing. Sage! Strange Famous Records has done so much for the local community and beyond. All the power to SF and crew.
Hell Yes I support local rappers.... Keep on doin it Sage.... 401 baby
That ish ain't blue enough
this song is timeless.
wow great song and sage is a surprisingly formidable actor. a lot of emotions are portrayed in this video and i think he does a great job with each of them
I'm so glad that I've grown up while sage tracks were on
Second time playing it through back to back. Sage you're a good guy. This is one of the best songs i've ever heard on how Americans deal with the troubles we have. Love you man, have a good day if you even read these.
Sage has truly grown to be amazing. He was always good but started out a bit immature and pretentious. Now his words are so powerful piercing and straightforward. A true rapper and poet.
Ooh wee chillz are multiplying
Happy 4th of July too any patriots still out there your not alone
I listened to this and sat here, contemplating it. As it processed through my mind my skin reacted with goosebumps. I've never seen war. But my father and brother did. Sage, a moniker truly earned, Thank you for helping me understand myself and others better.
Damn. Heavy. Love this. At first I thought it was about a family and drugs. But as I watched more I saw its meaning. Regardless it has been a while since I have heard sage I enjoy. I know every artist progresses differently and enjoys different things with age. But dear sage thank you yet again for a jam worth standing behind. You will always be dear to my heart sage. Thank you.
Thanks for everything! You are one of the greatest modern day poets, from makeshift patriot to make em purr and everything you do. This is what true music is in my opinion. One of my dreams is to do a song with Sage Francis (if you happen to read this, is there a price for a song available?), what a frikkin legend, folks. Since I started studying poetry I saw this music in a whole new light. There is a lot going on here poetically in everything he does. Similies, metaphors, subtext , fascism, classism, Marxism. Reshaped the way I look at rap and literature. Thanks for everything
damn its been a while since a Sage francis track played in my headphones... great song !!!
Thank you Sage Francis .
I need this so bad .
Beautiful... While showing the duality of the pain that remains in those who are misled into becoming dutiful, my time served with forced indentured servitude was in comparison mutable. Practicing unlicensed therapy to those I meet who are suffering, finding this video now posted last year is like some kind of long overdue delayed buffering... And as it gets colder and this flame continues to smolder, this once broken-winged bluejay continues to heal as according to some calendar she grows older. I refuse to age almost as much as I repel against being forced back into a cage, letting go of the rage is the only way I'm about to protect and stick out my neck for those who actually went overseas, agendas nothing close to any language they could pretend to perceive. Just as long as we continue to believe, always wearing our hearts on our sleeve, catching each possible sunset and never missing a chance to climb trees, this one human family still yields the capability to show a little humility, balance the ego and realize that by through transient unity nothing can withstand our combination collective conscious of valor, truth and somewhat staggered stability.
All love and light...
Shayna Rayboy murica fuk yea
Only listened a few times so far but this has to rank as one of my favourite Sage Francis songs. That's a strong statement when you've got a back catalog like his.
I thought nothing could top the best of times. Then this song came out
I'm so excited to share this.
this made me pick up my pen and note book for first time in 2 years! frustrated by our world especially when i see people so caught in it..Part of me envy their ignorance and part detests their blindness. non the less thank you Sage
Dope video, good song!! Can't wait for the new album and tour!!!
we are waiting for the album
Sage has obviously been touched deeply lately by the military complex our society has seem to build and ignore simultaneously. Glad to see somebody talking about it...
Legendary 👑💜👑
I accidentally had this song come on while in the car driving back from hiking last weekend. My younger brother and one of his longtime friends where in the car. My brothers friend is currently doing his basic training to join the Australian army, I've known this kid for over a decade and his only dream in life has been to join the army and eventually special forces, both his parents are ex military. I had to chuckle at the irony of this coming on as it very much matches my feelings and thoughts.
He's always been critical of the policies of the current neocolonial empire. The US.
I just watched this song like 5 times, its a song that has the different meanings, Oh xaul zan I have missed you
Wow! Released on June 3rd? thats my 18th Birthday! I cannot wait, Sage! I love this tune!
Sage you're so incredibly talented.
sage used to be my favorite rapper, then one day I was like "man sage be getting too serious on like everything" and I fell off.....until today. heard this for the first time like 3 plays ago and now I remember why sage was at the top of artist list...Sage bro, drop more music bro. can't nobody hit this shit but you, ain't no second place. it's just you
It's best to separate the art from the artist, especially if the artist didn't do anything abhorrent. I disagree with Sage on somethings, but I totally respect where he comes from. I know it comes from a good place, and ultimately he's more than just a rapper. He's a human being. Btw, I've felt just like you with Sage, but I've come around.
Too serious on what? While you’re commenting on a very serious video.
You have always been one of the realest. Hope all is well-
come on June, this is gold
Jay Brown killing it again!
I enjoy this song and recommend this to every sage fan!!!
Wow. What a sad sad beautiful thing. Thank you SF.
I don't know how to appreciate this song and video. I'm just going to keep listening
One of the best ever.
I very, very love sage francis
back to basics, eh? great stuff, looking forward to it.
Brought tears to my eyes thank you!
heard pretty much all of Sages songs, haven't seen many videos, holy fuck they sure give me the feels. I may need to take an extra Zoloft tonight.
Great song and great video, shared on my facebook
Amazing, I can't believe I never heard of you Sage before being featured on Juice News!! I shall rectify this mistake and listen to you more, beautiful song...
I got introduced years ago, heard one of his tracks was used in Cold Case.
After that i've gotten myself ALL albums. He's my favorite artist now :)
Osmosis Watching Pride and Glory was one of the best movie decisions I've made.
was going to type songs to checkout, but there are a million,
Thank you Sage Francis for giving me an explanation for apathy, procured feelings, and what it means to live in a parody.
Thought provoking as usual. Keep up the solid work sage.
this is so good.
im hungry for more SFR
Dude, you're getting a lot better. I like this!
really enjoy. great job man. your music ages like wine.
probably the best sage francis song ever
definitely not.
Tyler Davis ok bud. What's your favorite
Probably Smoke and Mirrors. Or Sun Vs. Moon. Lie Detector Test, Slow Down Ghandi, Personal Journalist. All up there for me.
He's only into SF's "early work" before he sold out to the establishment /s -_-
Atmosph3rik you say that like it's a bad thing. He was brutal.
Pure brilliance
Wow. I like this tremendously.
glad to see you puttin out quality videos. As a youngin I always wished you and E&A had more.
The great pumpkin

Where did you go SF. Miss you
two great albums on the same day! apathys comes out too i think
Such a great tune Uncle Sage! Keep your chin up because I (at the very least) will always have your back! Thanks
awesome sage
Yet another homerun.thank u g
keeping life real as usual
I am wayyyyyy too addicted to this song. This is just such a great song. Not really sure what the subject about this song is, I have a few ideas, but either way, its just a great song. Not to mention this beat. Unreal. Sage, you've outdone yourself again man.
It's about soldiers with PTSD and their problems coming back from war
Ya dude, I kinda figured that, especially near the ending. Thanks though dude!! :)
Or about bad fathers... I'm not sure now
no, its PTSD for sure, and how the military misleads the youth about how great the military is
Yeah I figured it was about PTSD and soldiers and what not, the reason I was confused was because of the first verse. It seemed to tell a bit of a different story rather than the 2nd and 3rd. That's what I confused about, but nonetheless made for a damn fine song. Told a story in itself.
MOODY!
lets GO!!!!!!!!!!
Gave me chills to watch!
Sage so damm awesome
great song
best to ever do it
great track once again. Cant wait to hear your new album!
💙
love the feel of this song
Best song Ever"!! Thanks Sage ;-)
How am I just listening to this now tho?!?!!
Love this track. Please come to Austin again! Saw you with B.Dolan last time you came through shit was killer man!
my flame isn't blue enough
Wow, this was amazing!
You are amazing too!
Ricardo Xavier That's enough of that boy-o
Is it ever enough to flatter other people?
God doesn't want us to be happy he wants us to be strong.
It says to rejoice in the bible. And that the MEEK will inherit the earth. And a lot of other stuff.
my personal opinion, look carefully at the world you live in.
Are you kidding? I am applying for a pair of blinders. I think I have looked much too close. My chest hurts:)
happiness through strength my man
Mucker72 strength through love
Awesome.
Dana has been holding out
