I wish my late husband could have heard this. He had a bad childhood and battled demons for most of his adult life. He did the hard work and got sober and remained sober until the end. He used to tell me, "You saved my life". I know his hard work saved his life, but it was sweet that he would say that. I wish I could have literally saved his life when he died Dec 25, 2019 from a rare and aggressive type of cancer at the age of 47. We developed a love of Shinedown together when we saw them opening for Godsmack. He was a musician and rarely paid attention to lyrics, but he did with Shinedown. He loved that the message was always positive, even if the subject matter was dark. Thank you for this song.
I wish you nothing but the best in your life, No, you don't know me, but i'm going through a similar situation, What does he still too fresh to get into. Just know you are not alone, I really hope this pain does go away of losing her.... What's no. There's no chance of coming back. Leave the most helpless, And most lost feeling ever imaginable. LIFE IS JUST NOT FAIR. ❤
@andreaparker248 I tell my wife all the time "you saved my life" Because she knows my Childhood traumas Adult traumas. I just hope 1 day. She understands. That i'm not broken
Here I am, a 30 year old man. Having a great day, just showered and ready to head out the door. But now here I stand in my kitchen with tears in my eyes, for no reason. You guys always know how to hit that spot. 🤘
I am going to see Shinedown today just outside of buffalo 🦬 they are going to kick ass.just like the bills did what a great 24hours. Let's go buffalo 🐃🦬
My sobriety date was May 2, 2021. I am so thankful for my friends and family who have supported me. I was a drug addict for 9 years. It took me losing my kids to finally wake up and realize how selfish that I had been for 9 freakin' years. I am so thankful for my family that has supported me and stood by me. I now have custody of my children again and am happier than ever. I thank God for giving me the strength to get clean. This song means everything to me.
Shinedown is one of those rare bands that makes music you feel in your soul. From all walks of life people can relate. This music makes even the toughest, coldest hearts melt and feel the tunes.
Amen amen 🙏!! Even though the inclement weather shortened their show at Rockville 2022, it was still AMAZING seeing them. Looking forward to seeing them again later this year. Special special talent indeed!! ✨️
This song sounds like what we have all experienced at least once in our lives. The words are brilliant and beautifully sung. Shinedown never disappoints.
I completely forgot about this band and randomly came across this song just now. Even though it just missed being added to my favorites list, I still enjoyed it and gave it a thumbs up.
Agreed. I love how bands never disappoint. This is why i love rock music. Rock bands never disappoint. Once a band becomes known they are always good. I can't think of a band that has disappointed me once.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 wwwwwhat?? You forgot about Shinedown? How is that possible?!!! I just saw them in concert on May 6th and they’re gonna be back again in September! Can’t wait! Refresh the ol’ playlist and put them back in rotation!😁🙋🏻♀️🎶🎵 Btw, I’ll be 65 in September, I’m rock n roll to the core!!
Almost never... I adore Shinedown, fan for over 20 years. Seen them a few times... But May 7th in SC Brent had bronchitis. And the overall vibe Many songs he was hardly able to sing well. I don't get the chance to go out often so this was it, only one I could make it to, and sad to say I was really disappointed - the effects, fire, etc was great, the acoustics were terrible and possibly to mask the difficulties Brent was having. I admire him for working so hard and showing up for fans - but almost wish they had rescheduled. Sorry... Always speak the truth and you won't carry unnecessary burdens.
67, divorced, retired military made numerous mistakes in my life! God had to make me uncomfortable ,otherwise I wouldn’t move forward. Got sober and became a different man, there’s always hope!
What an absolute masterpiece. I'm 54 years old, grew up around music my whole life as my Dad's a musician still to this day, been to literally hundreds of live concerts and shows and this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. The lyrics are so potent and powerful that they touch your soul. Brent Smith and co are incredible song writers with lyrics and song arrangements that frankly rise above every other hard rock band of the 21st century in my opinion. If you look at their whole body of work they are unmatched by any other hard rock band of this millennium in terms of accomplishments and their wide array of music. From blistering jams that rock out with the best of them to heartfelt numbers like this one, Shinedown are simply the best hard rock band of this century in my opinion.
Thank You , So Well Said... Awesome and Soul Touching. I am 62 and have also been and seen bands my whole life and Agree on Everything you wrote . Best Concert Ever and So Refreshing.😊✌🤘
I'm a 60 year old woman, that was about to leave a comment and decided to read a few comments before leaving my own. It only took me to read two comments to get to yours with the exception of I haven't seen hundreds of concerts but I agree with you 150% is, my opinion they are top shelf artist, 🎶🎵 musicians.
So, for the longest time "Get Up" was my morning therapy song. That song saved me more times than I can count. Now I get "Daylight", and I sit here in total awe. There is a reason why they are my favorite band, why they were my first tattoo, and why I will ALWAYS support them. So guys, thank you, for keeping me going in the worst of times, and in the best.
Same! Get up got me through the death of my grandmother, then starting a new job, and then starting all over again after an 18 year relationship. Shinedown really knows how to speak to our hearts. Daylight is definitely going to be in my daily rotation.
Smith and Myers.your band and your road crew are gonna get you out on the road,to spread your positive song message.Daylight blows me away.thx for putting the beautiful words in the video.I will see you Sept.11 2022 in Camden N.J.Im an old head, I first saw you in Atlantic City,N.J.House Of Blues.Dec.14th my birthday present.Hailstorm opener.love you all.kick It!
Shinedown at The Fox in Atlanta was the 1st show I got to see after the pandemic. The pandemic shutdown started 3 months after my husband, the love of my life, died from a horrible rare cancer. He had a terrible childhood and battled demons stemming from that most of his adult life. We met when he was 35 and still in that battle, but he did the hard work and life became better for him. He would always tell me that I saved his life ( although I know he did what he needed to get there ) When I hear this song, I hear him saying that to me. I only wish I could have literally saved his life. We had 12 years together of some of the best times if our lives (including both of us falling in love with Shinedown) before his beautiful soul left his cancer battered body Dec 25 2019. He was only 47. He lived and loved music. I know he would be proud that I've held myself together through listening to music. Thank you Shinedown for showing up and being real.
The song can literally save lives. It hit me deep in my soul. I have lost all my family this past year. My daddy, mom, brother, and kids. It's only me now. I have 2 people that make sure I always see the daylight. Garry and Josh, Shinedown wrote this one for yall. Thanks guys for putting out yet another life altering song♡!
I fight my demons daily. My cousin lost to his demons not long ago. We all seen it coming and reached out the best we could to save him as a family and as fellow Vets. We just could not reach far enough. We were always just finger tips away. I heard this song and it hit me like a lead brick. I was able to see Shinedown over the weekend in Tampa. Two songs I heard are now on my phone. This one and A symptom of being human are now on my play list of when I need help fighting and keeping the demons at bay. Thank you for all you do with you wonderful music. God knows my wife has saved me more than once along with my children. Without them and music bring me back…..
Shinedown has a habit of including a song like this in every album and its usually one of the best part and remember this is the song about that one person who can always bring you back up when you are sad
The 1st time I heard this song I broke down in tears because it made me think of all the people in my life who have helped me through the toughest challenges. A song that hits hard like that has a lasting impact.
@Kyle Holland-Standup I totally agree with you. This song in particular is so beautiful and heartfelt because it makes me think of my grandmother from my biological mom's side of my birth family who helped me through so many things even long after she passed away one week prior to Christmas back in 2004. I still feel her spirit with me every time I hear this song on the radio. Thank you Shinedown for releasing such a beautiful and heartfelt song for so many fans like myself that really need to know that there are people out there who really care. This song is truly a godsend and a total positive gift.
When I deployed to Iraq my wife told me she supported me 100% she kept me going even when I returned home due to my PTSD my son was born while in Iraq he’s 20 now and when I see him I think of my time there and how lucky I am
As someone that has also lost their father (6 years ago now), this song hit me like a ton of bricks. Keep your head up and always remember you are good enough. ❤
Shinedown literally saved my live a couple years back. I remember having a bottle of pills in my hand, ready to end it all, but then hearing Second Chance. I will never forget that feeling of finally beeing understood and comforted. I'm now in therapy and doing better than ever all thanks to Shinedown and this one song.
@@imnottellinudontwannaknow3188 watch the RUclips of unchained melody. Smith & myers . You see zach flip at the end . Brent was phenomenal, and completely zoned into his vocals...Mind blowing
Wow it's the first time l have heard this beautiful song, I'm a Survivor of suicide, 16yrs ago l tried to end my pain but l woke up 3 days & nights in ICU from a coma, angry at first but now greatful I did wake up, listen to this song for the very first time brought tears to my eyes but these tears are happy ones they're no longer sad, there is a great life after trying to end it you've got to believe there is greater things for you in the future and 16 years later I have been living 16 years of a wonderful life please don't give up on yourself because theres definitely is light at the end of the tunnel you might have to search and search hard but you will find it remember your life is important so live your best! ♥️
I too have survived trying to end myself. It hurts me to the core to what it would have done to my daughter, parents, best friend, grandmother, all the people at church that I mentored... even my precious cats. God definitely kept me around for some reason so, looks like I'm staying ❤
This song is how I describe Brent and the band. Y'all are my daylight to any dark days cause y'all seriously have saved me so many times thru your music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do and continue to do.
This song. I finally sobered up and stopped drinking the day my mother passed away. I ended up in the hospital for 30 days with no certainty that I would go home to my wife and daughter. This song reminds me of my mother in so many ways. Thank you guys for all of your music and how it moves everyone's soul in the right direction. 💜
This song helps me remember all the people life is worth living for. The first time I got out of the hospital for wanting everything to end, I could barely listen to this song without crying.
Beautiful and powerful song. Emphasises the isolation and harms of lockdown but with the positive of those around us helping us through. Shinedown proving again they are up there with the best.
this song was released the day I ship out for army basic training, and honestly I cannot say enough how much that means to me:) Shinedown has forever been my comfort band and has kept me pushing. I'll keep this song in my heart as I push through these next ten weeks. it reminds me of the people who have supported me since day one:) and the people I can't wait to see once I get back
Such a good song! It literally gave me chills, you guys always make songs that make life easier. I'll always see the Daylight when I listen to your music
I'm a 32 year old recovering alcoholic, and despite all my mistakes in life and all the hardships, my wife of 9 years has stayed by my side and pulled me from a dark place that felt never-ending. Without her and her support I wouldn't be here today. Love this song❤
I agree. After my dad passed away all my family turned their backs on me cause I'm not a kid anymore. It proves it's ok to hate your own flesh n blood cause in reality family is never everything just another enemy
This song has so much emotion.... I'm literally crying my eyes out right now. Amazing and so powerful!!! Shinedown, you've done it again ❤️ I can't wait to see this live
I listened to it 8x in a row and cried the whole time! It hit me so hard in the feels nearly knocked the window out of me! The guys did it again! Brents pipes on this one is angelic!!
The intense emotion that washes over me everytime I hear this band is incredible. I feel like my heart is getting a hug from the passion they work so hard to incorporate into their music.
I heard this song just yesterday, for the first time. Hearing it could not have come at a better time. The line" You saved my life not once but twice." Was perfect. Just had talked to a good friend about two events that might have did me in. Both times I was somewhere I could get help. Thank you for this song.
"A masterpiece is all I can say" the lyrics just connect with your soul and heart. It's an anthem for everyone who has struggled with their demons and vanquished them. Talk about a fight song, this is it. Thank you shinedown
This song is almost a religious hymn...the gospel of Shinedown. But truly, hearing and seeing this song live and in person at my first live show since March 2020 moved me to tears. I felt as if he was speaking straight to my soul. Much much love and gratitude for Shinedown!
This song is so relatable right now. ❤️ I've known my husband for 17 years and we are 31 years old. He always shows up, takes my hand and walks me away from the people who aren't good for me, and he's definitely for real. He's kept me from falling a LOT, we lost our daughter 2.5 years ago, and he makes sure I always see the daylight. Shinedown is just an amazing band. My favorite of all time. ❤️
I'm so sorry about your daughter. I know how hard it is to lose supper close to you and it takes years to somewhat recover from it somes. Just keep fighting and be happy because that is what she would have wanted.
when me and my wife went to their Charleston concert in April 2022, this song made her think of her father who had passed away one month prior and she started crying. Her and her father had a rough relationship in the past when she was growing up, but for the past 2 years since my wife was first pregnant, they rebuilt and he was her best friend and had nothing but love and excitement towards our daughter. Sadly, he never made it to getting to see our son that he couldn't wait to buy stuff for. He was a man who made sure to help everyone and left such a profound impact on all of our lives. He was one of the daylights in my wife's world. And she is my daylight. Her and I thank you Shinedown for bringing us together and really hitting our hearts with your music
This band was one of my father's favorites. Listening to their music is one of the few memories I have with him. He died when I was 13 (im 26 now) and it seeming fitting that this song would come out a week before the anniversary of his passing. It seems their music is always there for me when I need it the most.
That's awesome. I'm happy for you that this song gives you your dad back. As someone who has also lost their father and was devastated by it, I feel you. God bless.
Brent Smith really does have a very powerful voice. He can sing every very emotionally in songs like this, and GET UP. He can also go heavy with songs like Planet Zero, and Cut the Cord. He really is one of the best modern vocalists
This is me ! Thankyou lord Jesus , for your love, grace , and forgiveness !🙏🏻, I love this song , marriage was in trouble , my son passed away, unexpectedly , you brought , me to understand God's love for all equally! I am a new person! I love my husband so much ❤ thankyou lord Jesus for my salvation!
One of my closest friend confessed her feelings to me yesterday. As did I. This song came out at the perfect possible time. I've never had someone who I though cared about me. Now I do. Thank you Shinedown for making it just that bit better
Oh my gods, got me holding back tears at work. I see myself in every single lyric, along with my true friends who stick around. Thank you Shinedown for this absolutely beautiful song that touched my heart & changed my day.
I am a 43 year old woman. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with a deliberating disease and will succumb to it. When I listen to Shinedown it makes me feel free just as if I was never diagnosed. I hope that when I pass that I am listening to them. Love them and grateful for the music that they play most of all grateful for god for putting their voices in my ears to ease my heart and thoughts. Thank you for being who you are
As someone who struggles with treatment-resistant clinical depression, fibromyalgia, and PTSD, Shinedown and Godsmack have been my lifeline. This song is no different. Thank you, Shinedown, for putting such positive music into the world.
This song is a gift... it's a representation of how someone helped another person in their darkest hours. It's a song of hope, of humility, & understanding that we all struggle... for some it's depression, others anxiety... ya never know how encouraging a couple of words can be! I've been "saved" by friends who've cared, who went out of their way to help & offer support. They showed their true colors... "who shows up, who walks away, & who's for real." Never undersetimate the opportunity to share hope, love, & acceptance for the hurting! We all need help; we all need friendship & kindness... it's time to show fellow mankind that we all bleed red. God bless you all!
This is the best truth about a dog. I was broken all weekend. Staying up till 4-5am Ace a German shepherd husky mix. He kept me alive I deal with major depression disorder. So many times I couldn’t talk and he was always there next to me
Heard this song for the first time live at their concert in our town. I had tears rolling down my face. Hearing these words while sitting next to my husband and daughter really hit home. They are the reason I see the daylight.
this song means so much to me. my sister died 2 years ago in a car wreck and since then, shinedown has kept me alive through my hardest times. this song reminds me of everyone that has got me through hard times in life and the important people who really saved my life from suicide multiple times. thank you, shinedown. 🖤🖤
Listened to it at work and tried not to cry. It's beautiful and hits right in the gut, especially since I'm in a rough period but supported by people I love
It's like Shinedown knows how I feel. Going through a divorce has been so hard, but thankfully my daughter has been with me. When they sing "you make sure I always see the daylight" I basically lost it. She has gotten me through as only an angel can and I am eternally grateful for her. Shinedown has always been and will always be my favorite band.
Hang in there man. I was in your shoes. My son is struggling right now due to my divorce, but I could not take the mental abuse and neglect anymore. Your daughter will understand one day, I promise. Best wishes. ❤️
I am an Air Force Veteran and this hit me so hard. I wasn't even looking for this song, didn't know it even existed till now. It found me instead. I am a Mental Health patient, I have a Bipolar, PTSD, Depression, and a few others. But this song touched me so deeply. It definitely spoke to me.
@@aprilcrider2722 it makes you tear up when you hear the song I think about my fallen friends my deployments everything I never heard anything like it 💛💛
Anyone listening on fathers day 6/11/23? Shinedown is epic!!There music gets me in my feelings and sometimes i cry!Some good tears and some bad byt I love Shinedown!#shinedown
This is likely my favorite song of Shinedown. Saw them last year and this was so amazing in person! I love to not only hear but feel music! Thank you for this song - we all can relate too.
@@thunderbuns6811 The chor part isn't really something new, there were already songs with similar variants. So you could say the same about Disneys Hercules part too. So I think it could be worst.
Shinedown NEVER disappoints their fans. I could actually say they have helped save my life back in the day along with Breaking Benajmin. They are so loyal to their fans. I want to love them more but its impossible! My heart is full. 💚
This was our song at the wedding. It means so much to us from the troubles we have both faced in our past. We both cried as we danced and I sang to her… this song will forever be the best
This. Is. A. Masterpiece. And Brent’s voice just ages like wine. Cannot say enough good things about Shinedown and the way they constantly evolve in the best way. Love these guys. 👏🏼
You don’t know the meaning of masterpiece then! Lyrics are good & that’s the only thing! Singing style is nothing to brag about!! Musically, this sounds like contemporary Christian music!! That’s who should have gotten the song & sung it was contemporary christian bands!!
“Sounds like contemporary Christian music.” I wasn’t aware that was automatically a negative - the fact that it gives a message of hope in tough circumstances is exactly why it resonates with me during a difficult time in my life. For that, my original comment voicing MY OPINION that it is a masterpiece TO ME still stands.
This song brought tears to my eyes when I listened to it for the first time. Omg it gets you to a place and a time you've been before and had those feelings. Shinedown has the most heartfelt and powerful lyrics. I've been a fan for a while now and love their music so much
Just heard this song and instantly was touched. I'm so blessed on how my life's changed from a year ago. I know who my keepers are and God blessed me. Free from meth for almost a year ..
thank you Shinedown for writing this song. I've... had a really hard life, and acutely, almost half a year now. This song... really hits me hard. I just... am tired of the abuse, tired of the shame, tired of the pain, tired of always feeling like an alien, of feeling unlovable. But I fight on. One day... I can sit down... and feel I've lived a happy life. to have seen the daylight. Thank you
I don't know you, but I just wanted to stop and say hi. And tell you that I love you. I'm sure you don't hear that enough with whatever you're going through. But you're amazing. You're beautiful and valid, and so so worthy of love and happiness. You deserve good things and to be surrounded by kind people who care about you. I'm sorry that you're not right now, but hold on ok? Cuz one day, it will get better. One day you'll find your people and you'll be able to look at your awful, painful past, and it'll be a faded memory that can't hurt you anymore. I promise you'll get there eventually. And I know how hard it is when you're in the thick of it and it feels like it'll never end. So while you're stuck, just try to remember it's not your fault. You didn't ask for any of that shittiness. And you don't deserve the abuse or whatever is happening. You deserve to be treated better. The people doing the shitty things are the problem, NOT YOU. Hang in there, ok?
Oh, and if you need some more music that you can relate to, something to listen to that feels cathartic, like someone else gets what you're going through, I highly recommend a band called Citizen Soldier. Their music helps me more than words can describe. I credit them with helping me survive this pandemic (I was and still am working in a hospital. And at the height of it, I got to experience things like watching people die every day, seeing that truck from my break room window, the one that they put all the bodies in, cuz the morgue was too full to fit anymore dead. You know, super fun shit like that, that totally doesn't trash your mental health) and beyond that, I had a fairly shitty childhood. Abusive parents, cps removing me from my house, etc. Point is I relate so much to every song they put out its insane, and their music just feels like it gets me. I don't know you at all, but I wanna help in whatever little way I can. And music has always been my refuge. So I figure if Citizen Soldier has helped me that much, maybe they can help you too. It ain't much, but its what I got
My father is slowly dying. My mom asked for our help. We flew across the country to help, and we will never give up. My brother and sisters could care less. It's their loss. It truly is amazing what hard times can reveal.
Went through some deep personal stuff and this song hit home when I listened to it. Does make you realise who's there and how much they're loved but sometimes taken for granted. Much love to Nik and Tracey x
Right in the feels, Shinedown. June 1st, 2022, the 16th anniversary of my dad's tragic accident. "Spending 1 year and 3 months in the dark" from June 1st, 2022, the exact time frame since my father-in-law passed. "It's amazing what the hard times can reveal, like who shows up, who walks away and who's for real"...absolutely brilliant and so relatable to the past year and a half of my life. Saw your concert in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and now I'll fly anywhere in the world to see you again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Shinedown for somehow reading from my book and putting it into song, every-single-time!
I feel like Shinedown is quite simply the most underrated band in the history of music. They consistently put out amazing music that speaks the soundtrack of my soul time and time again.
Jesus, I can't stop listening to this song. Herd it four weeks ago and never heard about shinedown. But I've listened to almost all their music. My GF is going through a rough time and she understands this and their music. Thanks
We picked this song to play at my grandfathers funeral. Everyone loved it, was touched by it. Just as it reminds me of him. May he rest in peace. Thank you shinedown for giving us this moment where we can remember him with this very special song. He helped everyone he could help, we will miss him dearly.
Welp, not what I was expecting to hear this early, late for me, in the day. Got off work, had a meeting with my grief counselor and then heard this, and now I'm at a loss for words. This is absolutely amazing and I love everything about it. Shinedown just can't miss I swear.
You guys played this in concert for Peoria, Illinois. I cried than and I am sobbing now. Shinedown is my absolute favorite artist and your music has helped me so much. Thank you 💜
I wish my late husband could have heard this. He had a bad childhood and battled demons for most of his adult life. He did the hard work and got sober and remained sober until the end. He used to tell me, "You saved my life". I know his hard work saved his life, but it was sweet that he would say that. I wish I could have literally saved his life when he died Dec 25, 2019 from a rare and aggressive type of cancer at the age of 47. We developed a love of Shinedown together when we saw them opening for Godsmack. He was a musician and rarely paid attention to lyrics, but he did with Shinedown. He loved that the message was always positive, even if the subject matter was dark. Thank you for this song.
This post has me choked up having gone through similiar.❤
Bless you ❤
I wish you nothing but the best in your life, No, you don't know me, but i'm going through a similar situation, What does he still too fresh to get into. Just know you are not alone, I really hope this pain does go away of losing her.... What's no. There's no chance of coming back. Leave the most helpless, And most lost feeling ever imaginable. LIFE IS JUST NOT FAIR. ❤
@andreaparker248 I tell my wife all the time "you saved my life" Because she knows my Childhood traumas Adult traumas. I just hope 1 day.
She understands. That i'm not broken
I think you did save his life. You loved him a lot. That was enough. Please take solace in that he is at peace now :)
Here I am, a 30 year old man. Having a great day, just showered and ready to head out the door. But now here I stand in my kitchen with tears in my eyes, for no reason. You guys always know how to hit that spot. 🤘
It's such a beautiful song though
Amen
Love this song...raise it up high!!
I am going to see Shinedown today just outside of buffalo 🦬 they are going to kick ass.just like the bills did what a great 24hours. Let's go buffalo 🐃🦬
Mee too.😭God is the First person that helped me the most.
This is what I love about Shinedown. They don't just make great rock songs, they makes songs with important messages that capture listeners.
Disturbed does too, they're both great bands.
@@operatorcheescakman9153 its funny you say that as Shinedown and Disturbed are my two favorite bands
It's a great song, but I'd hardly call it rock.
Yes
Facts. And it's why they will go down in history with the most #1 rock songs.
My sobriety date was May 2, 2021. I am so thankful for my friends and family who have supported me. I was a drug addict for 9 years. It took me losing my kids to finally wake up and realize how selfish that I had been for 9 freakin' years. I am so thankful for my family that has supported me and stood by me. I now have custody of my children again and am happier than ever. I thank God for giving me the strength to get clean. This song means everything to me.
Never forgive the ones that left you in the dust
Great job. Hope you're still hanging in there.
Shinedown is one of those rare bands that makes music you feel in your soul. From all walks of life people can relate. This music makes even the toughest, coldest hearts melt and feel the tunes.
Oh yes! Not too long I know about him! But he’s the best honestly❤️🔥
Welcome to the Shinedown family! 😊
Shinedown one the greatest of all time I've been listening to Shinedown since there first album came out
Just Amazing Talent they have!! Gotta see these guys someday!
The power in song, Shinedown continues to produce, is just one of the reasons they are my favorite band.
Same. And they not only do rock and metal they have stuff like this which I love
Exactly, and they share that power with us
Amen amen 🙏!! Even though the inclement weather shortened their show at Rockville 2022, it was still AMAZING seeing them. Looking forward to seeing them again later this year. Special special talent indeed!! ✨️
Definitely same
@BabeAware me too. And I couldn't wait for this song to be released after hearing it that night.
This song sounds like what we have all experienced at least once in our lives. The words are brilliant and beautifully sung. Shinedown never disappoints.
I completely forgot about this band and randomly came across this song just now. Even though it just missed being added to my favorites list, I still enjoyed it and gave it a thumbs up.
Very well stated, Nicole.
Agreed. I love how bands never disappoint. This is why i love rock music. Rock bands never disappoint. Once a band becomes known they are always good. I can't think of a band that has disappointed me once.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 wwwwwhat?? You forgot about Shinedown? How is that possible?!!! I just saw them in concert on May 6th and they’re gonna be back again in September! Can’t wait! Refresh the ol’ playlist and put them back in rotation!😁🙋🏻♀️🎶🎵
Btw, I’ll be 65 in September, I’m rock n roll to the core!!
Almost never...
I adore Shinedown, fan for over 20 years. Seen them a few times... But May 7th in SC Brent had bronchitis. And the overall vibe Many songs he was hardly able to sing well. I don't get the chance to go out often so this was it, only one I could make it to, and sad to say I was really disappointed - the effects, fire, etc was great, the acoustics were terrible and possibly to mask the difficulties Brent was having. I admire him for working so hard and showing up for fans - but almost wish they had rescheduled.
Sorry... Always speak the truth and you won't carry unnecessary burdens.
Shinedown has aged like fine wine, they just keep getting better and better
Agreed.
Yes God does that to me! But my soulmate did also! But God is the great one of all
I agree
Couldnt agree more!!
Perfectly said Kyler, the best has yet to come. Still growing getting stronger and more awesome!!!!!!
67, divorced, retired military made numerous mistakes in my life! God had to make me uncomfortable ,otherwise I wouldn’t move forward. Got sober and became a different man, there’s always hope!
Much love dude
Hell yeah
Blessings ❤
What an absolute masterpiece. I'm 54 years old, grew up around music my whole life as my Dad's a musician still to this day, been to literally hundreds of live concerts and shows and this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. The lyrics are so potent and powerful that they touch your soul. Brent Smith and co are incredible song writers with lyrics and song arrangements that frankly rise above every other hard rock band of the 21st century in my opinion. If you look at their whole body of work they are unmatched by any other hard rock band of this millennium in terms of accomplishments and their wide array of music. From blistering jams that rock out with the best of them to heartfelt numbers like this one, Shinedown are simply the best hard rock band of this century in my opinion.
Thank You , So Well Said...
Awesome and Soul Touching.
I am 62 and have also been and seen bands my whole life and Agree on Everything you wrote .
Best Concert Ever and So Refreshing.😊✌🤘
I'm a 60 year old woman, that was about to leave a comment and decided to read a few comments before leaving my own.
It only took me to read two comments to get to yours with the exception of I haven't seen hundreds of concerts but I agree with you 150% is, my opinion they are top shelf artist, 🎶🎵 musicians.
@@tammieandrews9221 Thank you for your comment as well! It's awesome to see and hear so many Shinedown fans in here feeling the same way that I do!
Have Faith That You're Not Alone.
Went to Shinedown at Lewiston Maine Colisee...Le Colisee How did you love So many great songs
So, for the longest time "Get Up" was my morning therapy song. That song saved me more times than I can count. Now I get "Daylight", and I sit here in total awe. There is a reason why they are my favorite band, why they were my first tattoo, and why I will ALWAYS support them.
So guys, thank you, for keeping me going in the worst of times, and in the best.
have get up and daylight back to back to open ur door and head out!
Same! Get up got me through the death of my grandmother, then starting a new job, and then starting all over again after an 18 year relationship. Shinedown really knows how to speak to our hearts. Daylight is definitely going to be in my daily rotation.
Me too.. its my last album.. I have 4. Lol
Smith and Myers.your band and your road crew are gonna get you out on the road,to spread your positive song message.Daylight blows me away.thx for putting the beautiful words in the video.I will see you Sept.11 2022 in Camden N.J.Im an old head, I first saw you in Atlantic City,N.J.House Of Blues.Dec.14th my birthday present.Hailstorm opener.love you all.kick It!
Shinedown at The Fox in Atlanta was the 1st show I got to see after the pandemic. The pandemic shutdown started 3 months after my husband, the love of my life, died from a horrible rare cancer. He had a terrible childhood and battled demons stemming from that most of his adult life. We met when he was 35 and still in that battle, but he did the hard work and life became better for him. He would always tell me that I saved his life ( although I know he did what he needed to get there ) When I hear this song, I hear him saying that to me. I only wish I could have literally saved his life. We had 12 years together of some of the best times if our lives (including both of us falling in love with Shinedown) before his beautiful soul left his cancer battered body Dec 25 2019. He was only 47. He lived and loved music. I know he would be proud that I've held myself together through listening to music. Thank you Shinedown for showing up and being real.
You don't just hear their music, you FEEL it deep in your soul. My favorite band hands down! I'd love to see them in concert! 😁
I’ve seen them 7 times so far, if you haven’t seen them yet you have no clue how much more you feel their music in person.
Go see them!! Life changing!
I seen them once it was the best time in my life
They are great in concert. If you get a chance to see them do it.
Gotta go been to a lot of concerts hands down the best
The song can literally save lives. It hit me deep in my soul. I have lost all my family this past year. My daddy, mom, brother, and kids. It's only me now. I have 2 people that make sure I always see the daylight. Garry and Josh, Shinedown wrote this one for yall. Thanks guys for putting out yet another life altering song♡!
🙏🙏
So sorry
Hang in there Andrea.
I feel your pain! I lost my whole family too! 🤗
Thank you guys so much. It is a daily struggle a d choice to put one foot in front of the other. God is good.
I fight my demons daily. My cousin lost to his demons not long ago. We all seen it coming and reached out the best we could to save him as a family and as fellow Vets. We just could not reach far enough. We were always just finger tips away. I heard this song and it hit me like a lead brick. I was able to see Shinedown over the weekend in Tampa. Two songs I heard are now on my phone. This one and A symptom of being human are now on my play list of when I need help fighting and keeping the demons at bay. Thank you for all you do with you wonderful music. God knows my wife has saved me more than once along with my children. Without them and music bring me back…..
This is my song to my soon to be husband. I love this man more than I give him credit for.
There's always a song on every album from Shinedown that hits you hard.
This is the one here
Have your heard the whole album?
Where can we hear every song on the album?
Thanks
@@northstarmn not available till the first of july
@@rockenrob4893 As of today all but 7 songs (out of 20 listed) can be heard if you do a search.
@@northstarmn this song is so amazing you don't even need to hear anything else from the album to know it's the one.
@@northstarmn they have released 3 singles off the new album 💿 Planet 🌎 Zero. 1. Planet 🌎 Zero 2. Don’t remember the name 3. Daylight.
Shinedown has a habit of including a song like this in every album and its usually one of the best part and remember this is the song about that one person who can always bring you back up when you are sad
The 1st time I heard this song I broke down in tears because it made me think of all the people in my life who have helped me through the toughest challenges. A song that hits hard like that has a lasting impact.
@Kyle Holland-Standup I totally agree with you. This song in particular is so beautiful and heartfelt because it makes me think of my grandmother from my biological mom's side of my birth family who helped me through so many things even long after she passed away one week prior to Christmas back in 2004. I still feel her spirit with me every time I hear this song on the radio. Thank you Shinedown for releasing such a beautiful and heartfelt song for so many fans like myself that really need to know that there are people out there who really care. This song is truly a godsend and a total positive gift.
so good ! Got this and SLT - Whispering Wolf on repeat all day 🤘🤘🤘!
Hit me hard too, I did the same and almost break down everytime I hear it!!
I know exactly what you mean. This song is me..
@@dawnperry6812 God is great
One of the most versatile bands and Brent has one of the most commanding voices. I love these guys
When I deployed to Iraq my wife told me she supported me 100% she kept me going even when I returned home due to my PTSD my son was born while in Iraq he’s 20 now and when I see him I think of my time there and how lucky I am
Thank you for your service I had family over there to glad you made it home safe to watch him grow
Thank you Shinedown,
Sounds like a song to a Higher Power, He has saved my life countless times. AMEN 🙏
I lost my dad 2 months ago. My girlfriend is the one who's there for me and makes me see the daylight. This song is so beautiful. Thank you shinedown
As someone that has also lost their father (6 years ago now), this song hit me like a ton of bricks. Keep your head up and always remember you are good enough. ❤
@@fast97z24 yes thank you❤
I lost my Father on his Birthday last year and my girlfriend has held me up since. I totally feel you. Positive vibes sent your way. 🙏
❤️❤️
Your girlfriend have a beautiful soul. Take good care about her💝
This song will literally save peoples' lives. It cant be understated the impact of your music. Amazing work and amazing song.
Great Lyrics, love Brent’s voice on this one. No special effects added, just raw and emotional!
Shinedown literally saved my live a couple years back. I remember having a bottle of pills in my hand, ready to end it all, but then hearing Second Chance. I will never forget that feeling of finally beeing understood and comforted. I'm now in therapy and doing better than ever all thanks to Shinedown and this one song.
@@stevenbeneteau5676 I can tell the autotune in some places, but he doesn't really need it. I think it gives more of a modern ballad vibe
@@imnottellinudontwannaknow3188 watch the RUclips of unchained melody. Smith & myers . You see zach flip at the end . Brent was phenomenal, and completely zoned into his vocals...Mind blowing
New favorite SHINEDOWN tune,man if this song doesn't get your emotions flowing nothing will💜
Completely agree! The latest in a long line of great Shinedown ballads.
💯FACTS! As only Shinedown can do!🔥❤️
Yeah, I laughed alot. It reminded me of church camp when I sang kumbaaiiiuhhhh. It made my nose bleed.
so good ! Got this and SLT - Whispering Wolf on repeat all day 🤘🤘🤘. ! .
I'm a grown ass man and this, this, man, it's heavy.
Humanity needed this song.
🙏🏽🫂
Shinedown is so good at giving me exactly what I need at the right time. I absolutely love this song
I totally agree with you!
Agree!
Wow it's the first time l have heard this beautiful song, I'm a Survivor of suicide, 16yrs ago l tried to end my pain but l woke up 3 days & nights in ICU from a coma, angry at first but now greatful I did wake up, listen to this song for the very first time brought tears to my eyes but these tears are happy ones they're no longer sad, there is a great life after trying to end it you've got to believe there is greater things for you in the future and 16 years later I have been living 16 years of a wonderful life please don't give up on yourself because theres definitely is light at the end of the tunnel you might have to search and search hard but you will find it remember your life is important so live your best! ♥️
I'm glad you're still here
I too have survived trying to end myself. It hurts me to the core to what it would have done to my daughter, parents, best friend, grandmother, all the people at church that I mentored... even my precious cats. God definitely kept me around for some reason so, looks like I'm staying ❤
I'm glad you are still here!!! Hope you are doing ok
This song is how I describe Brent and the band. Y'all are my daylight to any dark days cause y'all seriously have saved me so many times thru your music. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do and continue to do.
I’m here for you. Not just cause we have the same name because we are all family!!
@@rockenrob4893 I appreciate that bro, we are all family in the name of Rock N Roll 🤘
This song. I finally sobered up and stopped drinking the day my mother passed away. I ended up in the hospital for 30 days with no certainty that I would go home to my wife and daughter.
This song reminds me of my mother in so many ways. Thank you guys for all of your music and how it moves everyone's soul in the right direction. 💜
This song helps me remember all the people life is worth living for. The first time I got out of the hospital for wanting everything to end, I could barely listen to this song without crying.
Beautiful and powerful song. Emphasises the isolation and harms of lockdown but with the positive of those around us helping us through. Shinedown proving again they are up there with the best.
this song was released the day I ship out for army basic training, and honestly I cannot say enough how much that means to me:) Shinedown has forever been my comfort band and has kept me pushing. I'll keep this song in my heart as I push through these next ten weeks. it reminds me of the people who have supported me since day one:) and the people I can't wait to see once I get back
Thank you for serving. Stay strong
You got this !! Thank you for serving 🇺🇸
Thank You for your service!
Thank you for your service!
Come again private?
Such a good song! It literally gave me chills, you guys always make songs that make life easier. I'll always see the Daylight when I listen to your music
Or you could open up your blinds.
This is my song and my life...God saved me twice
Oh yes! Not too long I know him! But he's the best❤️🔥
There is no God. Just good people.
Same here👍✌❤
Why would you say that? @@katherinegodan1080
I'm a 32 year old recovering alcoholic, and despite all my mistakes in life and all the hardships, my wife of 9 years has stayed by my side and pulled me from a dark place that felt never-ending. Without her and her support I wouldn't be here today. Love this song❤
Love you brother, stay clean, it's rough.
She’s a keeper
Well, now you have more support my man! Keep it going! And you will see the Daylight 😁
Same here my wife kept me going while in Iraq in 03 still together 22yrs now proud of you life is to short make the most of it
44 going to meetings twice a week. Not sure why my wife didn't leave me.
Stay strong man
"Who shows up, who walks away and who's for real" have definitely been revealed to me!
I Love how personally relevant this song is for me!
I agree. After my dad passed away all my family turned their backs on me cause I'm not a kid anymore. It proves it's ok to hate your own flesh n blood cause in reality family is never everything just another enemy
@@JRCook-fd4ml sometimes family is blood sometimes family isn't blood. I hope you can heal the rift in your life. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This song has so much emotion.... I'm literally crying my eyes out right now. Amazing and so powerful!!! Shinedown, you've done it again ❤️ I can't wait to see this live
I listened to it 8x in a row and cried the whole time! It hit me so hard in the feels nearly knocked the window out of me! The guys did it again! Brents pipes on this one is angelic!!
You should probably wear sunglasses if the sun is shining down into your eyes while listening.
The intense emotion that washes over me everytime I hear this band is incredible. I feel like my heart is getting a hug from the passion they work so hard to incorporate into their music.
Me too , my favorite band
I heard this song just yesterday, for the first time. Hearing it could not have come at a better time. The line" You saved my life not once but twice." Was perfect. Just had talked to a good friend about two events that might have did me in. Both times I was somewhere I could get help. Thank you for this song.
They are an exceptional group, and individually also.
so good ! Got this and SLT - Whispering Wolf on repeat all day 🤘🤘🤘
Well said! 💜
Reminds me to have faith no matter whats going on. I found out who would be there for me no matter what. Only a couple of people have been. Thank you
"A masterpiece is all I can say" the lyrics just connect with your soul and heart. It's an anthem for everyone who has struggled with their demons and vanquished them. Talk about a fight song, this is it. Thank you shinedown
This song is almost a religious hymn...the gospel of Shinedown. But truly, hearing and seeing this song live and in person at my first live show since March 2020 moved me to tears. I felt as if he was speaking straight to my soul. Much much love and gratitude for Shinedown!
It really is beautiful
Tears streaming because their songs hit hard ! Thank you Shinedown for your music ❤️
Definitely. I feel this song deeply. Brent Smith’s voice is just something else.
Totally. I'm crying now. I love to get lost in their masterpieces....one after another. 😬😷
Everytime I hear this
I remember seeing them in 2003 at Tremont music hall in a small packed in venue greatest concert ever Shinedown and Soil

This song is so relatable right now. ❤️ I've known my husband for 17 years and we are 31 years old. He always shows up, takes my hand and walks me away from the people who aren't good for me, and he's definitely for real. He's kept me from falling a LOT, we lost our daughter 2.5 years ago, and he makes sure I always see the daylight. Shinedown is just an amazing band. My favorite of all time. ❤️
Awe, I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is the worst thing that can happen to a family
I'm so sorry about your daughter. I know how hard it is to lose supper close to you and it takes years to somewhat recover from it somes. Just keep fighting and be happy because that is what she would have wanted.
when me and my wife went to their Charleston concert in April 2022, this song made her think of her father who had passed away one month prior and she started crying. Her and her father had a rough relationship in the past when she was growing up, but for the past 2 years since my wife was first pregnant, they rebuilt and he was her best friend and had nothing but love and excitement towards our daughter. Sadly, he never made it to getting to see our son that he couldn't wait to buy stuff for. He was a man who made sure to help everyone and left such a profound impact on all of our lives. He was one of the daylights in my wife's world. And she is my daylight. Her and I thank you Shinedown for bringing us together and really hitting our hearts with your music
This band was one of my father's favorites. Listening to their music is one of the few memories I have with him. He died when I was 13 (im 26 now) and it seeming fitting that this song would come out a week before the anniversary of his passing. It seems their music is always there for me when I need it the most.
I am sorry to hear about your father, but I am glad this song helps
Sound of Madness came out around that time. I hope you two got to enjoy that amazing album together. Much love from the 306...
I am with you I lost my son 10 years ago if he was still alive he turned 21 on Sunday
That's awesome. I'm happy for you that this song gives you your dad back. As someone who has also lost their father and was devastated by it, I feel you. God bless.
Love this song lost 4 family members hope my pet.need daylight.god makes away.awesome god
Brent Smith really does have a very powerful voice. He can sing every very emotionally in songs like this, and GET UP. He can also go heavy with songs like Planet Zero, and Cut the Cord. He really is one of the best modern vocalists
I call him an “in your face” vocalist
Not even close lol
That man could sing a dictionary and it would sound awesome. He always sings with such power and emotion.
@@dawnadams7967 he ruined simple man with his nasally wailing. Has no range, sounds exactly the same in every song.

This is me ! Thankyou lord Jesus , for your love, grace , and forgiveness !🙏🏻, I love this song , marriage was in trouble , my son passed away, unexpectedly , you brought , me to understand God's love for all equally! I am a new person! I love my husband so much ❤ thankyou lord Jesus for my salvation!
One of my closest friend confessed her feelings to me yesterday. As did I. This song came out at the perfect possible time. I've never had someone who I though cared about me. Now I do. Thank you Shinedown for making it just that bit better
Happy for you my man! I wish the two of you best of luck

Oh my gods, got me holding back tears at work. I see myself in every single lyric, along with my true friends who stick around. Thank you Shinedown for this absolutely beautiful song that touched my heart & changed my day.
I am a 43 year old woman. 3 years ago I was diagnosed with a deliberating disease and will succumb to it. When I listen to Shinedown it makes me feel free just as if I was never diagnosed. I hope that when I pass that I am listening to them. Love them and grateful for the music that they play most of all grateful for god for putting their voices in my ears to ease my heart and thoughts. Thank you for being who you are
#stay positive strong
God bless you.
I cry everytime I listen. It’s been a long time since a song did that. So many aspects - love, hurt, hope, persistence… so many things. Thank you
Who started cutting onions?!? Great song.
As someone who struggles with treatment-resistant clinical depression, fibromyalgia, and PTSD, Shinedown and Godsmack have been my lifeline. This song is no different. Thank you, Shinedown, for putting such positive music into the world.
This song is a gift... it's a representation of how someone helped another person in their darkest hours. It's a song of hope, of humility, & understanding that we all struggle... for some it's depression, others anxiety... ya never know how encouraging a couple of words can be! I've been "saved" by friends who've cared, who went out of their way to help & offer support. They showed their true colors... "who shows up, who walks away, & who's for real." Never undersetimate the opportunity to share hope, love, & acceptance for the hurting! We all need help; we all need friendship & kindness... it's time to show fellow mankind that we all bleed red. God bless you all!
Or someone like me, both depression and anxiety.
This song punches me right in the heart, that’s a talent few bands possess.
This is the best truth about a dog. I was broken all weekend. Staying up till 4-5am Ace a German shepherd husky mix. He kept me alive I deal with major depression disorder. So many times I couldn’t talk and he was always there next to me
Heard this song for the first time live at their concert in our town. I had tears rolling down my face. Hearing these words while sitting next to my husband and daughter really hit home. They are the reason I see the daylight.
this song means so much to me. my sister died 2 years ago in a car wreck and since then, shinedown has kept me alive through my hardest times. this song reminds me of everyone that has got me through hard times in life and the important people who really saved my life from suicide multiple times. thank you, shinedown. 🖤🖤
Stay w us.
I've loved all three songs from Planet Zero. I can't wait for the whole album to come out.
Two hard hitting rock thrashers followed by a tear jerking power ballad? Gotta be Shinedown

Listened to it at work and tried not to cry. It's beautiful and hits right in the gut, especially since I'm in a rough period but supported by people I love

@@esellers8285 thank you ♥️
Dang, hope your 1 week this month gets easier. Can't imagine the gut pains

I love this song.
And the meaning behind it.
Can't wait for the album
It's like Shinedown knows how I feel. Going through a divorce has been so hard, but thankfully my daughter has been with me. When they sing "you make sure I always see the daylight" I basically lost it. She has gotten me through as only an angel can and I am eternally grateful for her. Shinedown has always been and will always be my favorite band.
Hang in there man. I was in your shoes. My son is struggling right now due to my divorce, but I could not take the mental abuse and neglect anymore. Your daughter will understand one day, I promise.
Best wishes. ❤️

I am an Air Force Veteran and this hit me so hard. I wasn't even looking for this song, didn't know it even existed till now. It found me instead. I am a Mental Health patient, I have a Bipolar, PTSD, Depression, and a few others. But this song touched me so deeply. It definitely spoke to me.

This is likely my favorite song of Shinedown. Saw them last year and this was so amazing in person! I love to not only hear but feel music! Thank you for this song - we all can relate too.
your favorite Shinedown song is the one that stole its entire chorus from the Disney Hercules movie???
@@thunderbuns6811
The chor part isn't really something new, there were already songs with similar variants.
So you could say the same about Disneys Hercules part too.
So I think it could be worst.
@@thunderbuns6811😬
Greatest voice in rock!!! And quiet possibly, one of the greatest lyricists. Respect, and thank you.
Shinedown NEVER disappoints their fans. I could actually say they have helped save my life back in the day along with Breaking Benajmin. They are so loyal to their fans. I want to love them more but its impossible! My heart is full. 💚
I have no words to describe how beautiful this song is. Im speechless, it’s probably one of the greatest songs Ive ever listened to.
From what I gathered, they were speechless to while writing this 30 second song stuck on repeat for 3 and a half minutes.
This was our song at the wedding. It means so much to us from the troubles we have both faced in our past. We both cried as we danced and I sang to her… this song will forever be the best
This. Is. A. Masterpiece. And Brent’s voice just ages like wine. Cannot say enough good things about Shinedown and the way they constantly evolve in the best way. Love these guys. 👏🏼
so good ! Got this and SLT - Whispering Wolf on repeat all day 🤘🤘🤘 … :)
You don’t know the meaning of masterpiece then! Lyrics are good & that’s the only thing! Singing style is nothing to brag about!! Musically, this sounds like contemporary Christian music!! That’s who should have gotten the song & sung it was contemporary christian bands!!
“Sounds like contemporary Christian music.” I wasn’t aware that was automatically a negative - the fact that it gives a message of hope in tough circumstances is exactly why it resonates with me during a difficult time in my life. For that, my original comment voicing MY OPINION that it is a masterpiece TO ME still stands.
This song brought tears to my eyes when I listened to it for the first time. Omg it gets you to a place and a time you've been before and had those feelings. Shinedown has the most heartfelt and powerful lyrics. I've been a fan for a while now and love their music so much
This band is 2nd to none..period. Incredible live...It's how you feel their music 🎶
Love crying my eyes out at 9 AM on a Wednesday
Love this band!!! I’m 63 years old!!! I really love rock and stories they tell so true to life 😢
Just heard this song and instantly was touched. I'm so blessed on how my life's changed from a year ago. I know who my keepers are and God blessed me. Free from meth for almost a year ..
This song is insanely powerful. I didn’t know that I needed this right now.. Thank you SD.
thank you Shinedown for writing this song. I've... had a really hard life, and acutely, almost half a year now. This song... really hits me hard. I just... am tired of the abuse, tired of the shame, tired of the pain, tired of always feeling like an alien, of feeling unlovable. But I fight on. One day... I can sit down... and feel I've lived a happy life. to have seen the daylight. Thank you
Sending love brother
I don't know you, but I just wanted to stop and say hi. And tell you that I love you. I'm sure you don't hear that enough with whatever you're going through. But you're amazing. You're beautiful and valid, and so so worthy of love and happiness. You deserve good things and to be surrounded by kind people who care about you.
I'm sorry that you're not right now, but hold on ok? Cuz one day, it will get better. One day you'll find your people and you'll be able to look at your awful, painful past, and it'll be a faded memory that can't hurt you anymore. I promise you'll get there eventually. And I know how hard it is when you're in the thick of it and it feels like it'll never end. So while you're stuck, just try to remember it's not your fault. You didn't ask for any of that shittiness. And you don't deserve the abuse or whatever is happening. You deserve to be treated better. The people doing the shitty things are the problem, NOT YOU.
Hang in there, ok?
Oh, and if you need some more music that you can relate to, something to listen to that feels cathartic, like someone else gets what you're going through, I highly recommend a band called Citizen Soldier. Their music helps me more than words can describe.
I credit them with helping me survive this pandemic (I was and still am working in a hospital. And at the height of it, I got to experience things like watching people die every day, seeing that truck from my break room window, the one that they put all the bodies in, cuz the morgue was too full to fit anymore dead. You know, super fun shit like that, that totally doesn't trash your mental health) and beyond that, I had a fairly shitty childhood. Abusive parents, cps removing me from my house, etc. Point is I relate so much to every song they put out its insane, and their music just feels like it gets me.
I don't know you at all, but I wanna help in whatever little way I can. And music has always been my refuge. So I figure if Citizen Soldier has helped me that much, maybe they can help you too. It ain't much, but its what I got
@@bottomofastairwell said it better than I ever could, but I just want to also say that you are loved.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who hit LIKE before even listening. Shinedown is the greatest thing in music today. 💕
GOOSEBUMPS
Ummm....excuse you?
My father is slowly dying. My mom asked for our help. We flew across the country to help, and we will never give up. My brother and sisters could care less. It's their loss. It truly is amazing what hard times can reveal.
Midnight and now I am crying my soul out, knowing my sister, who struggles with depression, sent me this
Even when Brent was in deep addiction he was writing amazing songs. Now with the band all healthy they are IMMORTAL
This song is so powerful. The message provided lyrically we can all resonate with. Love this band and all their amazing fans!
Went through some deep personal stuff and this song hit home when I listened to it. Does make you realise who's there and how much they're loved but sometimes taken for granted. Much love to Nik and Tracey x
Right in the feels, Shinedown. June 1st, 2022, the 16th anniversary of my dad's tragic accident. "Spending 1 year and 3 months in the dark" from June 1st, 2022, the exact time frame since my father-in-law passed. "It's amazing what the hard times can reveal, like who shows up, who walks away and who's for real"...absolutely brilliant and so relatable to the past year and a half of my life. Saw your concert in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and now I'll fly anywhere in the world to see you again. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Shinedown for somehow reading from my book and putting it into song, every-single-time!
Brilliant mate
This, and Symptom of Being Human are some of Shinedown's best work.
My wife and my wedding was this month and we used this song as our wedding song/first dance. It's such a beautiful memory. Thank you shinedown ❤
So beautiful... I wish you a happy long and loving, fulfilled life together!
Would you mind if I stole this idea for my wedding?
Once again, I thank you. Songs like this from Shinedown have been one of the few things that can heal me when everything else fails.
I feel like Shinedown is quite simply the most underrated band in the history of music. They consistently put out amazing music that speaks the soundtrack of my soul time and time again.
Thank you for God for letting me wake up every day!! Every day is a blessing, and being with my loved ones is a gift.
Jesus, I can't stop listening to this song. Herd it four weeks ago and never heard about shinedown. But I've listened to almost all their music. My GF is going through a rough time and she understands this and their music. Thanks
We picked this song to play at my grandfathers funeral. Everyone loved it, was touched by it. Just as it reminds me of him. May he rest in peace. Thank you shinedown for giving us this moment where we can remember him with this very special song. He helped everyone he could help, we will miss him dearly.
"IT'S AMAZING WHAT THE HARD TIMES CAN REVEAL" - Indeed amazing.🤗🕊
Welp, not what I was expecting to hear this early, late for me, in the day. Got off work, had a meeting with my grief counselor and then heard this, and now I'm at a loss for words. This is absolutely amazing and I love everything about it. Shinedown just can't miss I swear.
This one really hit me, but for another reason, I tried to carry others when I hardly could carry myself until i fell down.
This was my grandmas favorite song from you guys. It was played at her funeral so I listen to this song when I think about her
You guys played this in concert for Peoria, Illinois. I cried than and I am sobbing now. Shinedown is my absolute favorite artist and your music has helped me so much. Thank you 💜
My husband and I went to that concert and the absolute emotion everyone had in the stadium was so strong!
@@jellisgoose yesss!!!! Second time I’ve seen Shinedown in Peoria and it was even more amazing
