As an 80s kid, it's amazing to see how metal has been evolving and picking up influences through all these decades. Still the most vibrant, interesting and forward-thinking music genre ever. 🤘🤘
@@jerryskid420 There is no need to jam a guitar solo into every song. If was refreshing that Disturbed broke that stupid habit. Write an interesting song - don't just follow a formula because that's the way it's been done in the past.
I am 34 years old. I don't think in my entire life have lyrics hit me so hard as this song. This is powerful stuff and makes me want to be the best version of me. To whoever is reading this you are awesome and you are loved. Keep fighting the good fight!
This hits me to my core, i went from stressing out about how i was going to live, wether or not i was going to be homeless but i ended up going to get my class A CDL and im now a truck driver, i am no longer stressed out, or as the song puts it, i can breathe again.
3 years clean off of heroin and crack! Keep going my friend it gets easier! Make sure you have a great support system, counseling and a good sponsor is underrated 🙂 good luck to you!
After almost 2 years of fighting with depression, I can safely say "I CAN FINALLY BREATHE AGAIN"! And to those still fighting it, I'll help you every step of the way, and I promise you can do it 💪❤
AMEN!! Same here. I have battled depression for years among other things and losing my job the year before. Have a new job...back on my 2 feet...a better outlook on life and a better one. I definitely can BREATHE AGAIN!!
I'm almost 60, 2 months and have autoimmune. Every cold or allergy puts me down. Many times I thought this is it. But, my perspective has changed. I haven't completed my work in this world. I'm not going anywhere until it's done. This song makes me forget my age and hinderances. Love Pop Evil since the first time I heard "Torn To Pieces". I admire versatility.
I hear you brother, my dad passed 3 years ago, not a day goes by I don’t think of him, just let this beautiful music flow through you. I find myself looking at the moon and singing this to him: peace
Next month will make 2 years without my pops. Losing him at 25.... falling into my drinking... next month also makes 4 months sober. It takes time brother but hang I there and always know you'll be able to " breathe again"
My old man passed March of last year. We had just started to reconnect and spend a lot of time together. Took him and mom on several trips and loved them all. Miss you dad.
This band is carrying the torch for modern day rock 'n roll and shining brightly. With the best drummer in rock music today. Congratulations and much love to Leigh and the gang!
I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but when I first this track it hit me on so many emotions, the words are powerful, and when I heard this it made me understand my worth after years and years of depression
Thank you Pop Evil n the writers of this song. I've been drowning in my own guilt for 15 years. After hearing this song (today is my first time) I now have some renewed hope that I can get through my sadness n learn how to let go of the pain. ♥️You guys
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music 🙏
my mom is very picky about the bands she listens to. if the singer doesn't sound manly enough, she doesn't like it, if its got too much growling, she doesn't like it (though she seems to have made an exception in the category for Ice Nine Kills), if its not rocking enough, she doesn't like it. But, when she heard this song on the radio, she loved it. She got a CD copy of Versatile a few months later. You guys are awesome.
I find myself screaming "I CAN FINALLY, BREATHEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAGAAAAIIIIINNNNN!!!!" at the top of my lungs. Don't like much of their stuff but this is badass
as an audio engineer for 20 years I can say kick and snare is replaced and drums are edited hard :) but she is a good player. can't wait to hear it live... I don't even talk about the edits on vocals...
I just want you guys to know that you truly ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard this song for the first time yesterday and it inspired me to run my heart and soul out, as FAST as I could, waking the LIONS!!!! I can't get enough of all your music, so thank you, THANK YOU for existing, for sharing and for kicking ass!!!
David, Lee, drummer, you finally broke to the other side... Omg its ANGELIC... Congratulations, every new song ive heard. You are now what todays POSITIVE FEELING music should follow. Im so proud of you David and and Lee. When i hear you now i feel what you both are tapping into. Love you Boys. Russel B.
My grandma passed away a little over a year ago, she had COPD and asthma and smoked for years, and less than 25% if her lungs working but I know she's in Heaven and can breathe again.
Never really paid attention to this band but damn this song not only goes insanely hard musically but its lyrics and message helped me through a dark time recently where I kicked a dope habit to the curb. “I found the strength in me”... damn right I did. Thanks Pop Evil. This is a real song right here.
I love this song and music video, I've seen so many different views on what the meaning is, which is what music does best! I see this as battling with the idea of conforming to what's around you, the depression and stress that arises from it, and finally breaking free of the cage you inadvertently put around yourself.
Well done Pop Evil. Getting better and better with each album. I'm a fellow michigander and have followed you guys from the beginning. The sky is the limit for u guys. Keep doing what you do and represent the great state of Michigan.
This songs been my GO TO for finishing workouts and getting through rough days, just seeing the video for the first time right now & it’s even BETTER than I ever envisioned it to be!!! 🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
I can finally breathe again Buried and burdened, my patience was gone Blinded, my vision was wrong Head underwater in waves I could see I found the strength in me The strength in me Get up, get up I can finally breathe again Standing on my own two feet again Learning that my scars won't bleed again Mistakes I couldn't undo Try to destroy you I can finally breathe again I can finally breathe again It's getting darker, numbing the pain inside Feels like forever, all the times I tried To be myself, break the chains, no one ever sees I found the strength in me I can finally breathe again Standing on my own two feet again Learning that my scars won't bleed again Mistakes I couldn't undo Try to destroy you I can finally breathe again Breathe again Letting go of the weight inside Can we give this another try? Letting go, I feel alive I can finally breathe again Standing on my own two feet again Learning that my scars won't bleed again Mistakes I couldn't undo Try to destroy you I can finally breathe again Breathe again Breathe again Breathe again
After going through shoulder impingement syndrome....then bells palsy...a mini stroke...physical therapy over and over...i have pushed myself to the limits and found unbelievable strength to know that i can fight through what i have been through the past few months and punch fear right in the face.am stronger than i have been with this song in my life....THANK YOU POP EVIL!!!!
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music 🙏
Hayley is such a talented drummer. I've always liked Pop Evil but I absolutely LOVE this song! Everything about it just gets you going and wanting more.
Someone made a beautiful wrestling tribute for a friend who passed away recently. Now, when I hear this song, I'll be reminded of the beautiful soul that left this world ❤
I was at a stop light and had my music so loud it wasn't funny, I yelled I can finallllllly breatheeeeee againnnnnnnn and the guy on the bike next to me asked if I was doing ok, turns out he's now a good friend of mine
@@hopecronister5435 Never be shy to talk to a stranger. I have been places that I've struck a conversation with people and bam we talk sometimes for a half hour just to talk about stuff and its relaxing getting to know someone new and sometimes I make a new FB friend out of it ...then after we dig into each others lives haha we either just go different ways and delete eventually or become good friends. I have a VERY good friend I met on a post he had for work to be done on his house - now we go to each others family parties and we talk often about how thankful we were to have him make that "help needed" post.
I've been sober for 1 year and 5 months lost someone who I considered a father figure growing up. Listening to music like this is all I have left in the world that brings me joy.
So they are coming to my city next week.. with fame on fire who I can't wait to see.. but anyway as I was buying tickets this song come on Pandora.. and I'm going through it so this song means a lot to me and I can't wait to see them play it.. I've been a pop evil fan since torn to pieces.. I'm excited
Just turned 36 and my 41 year old brother and I both rip on the air guitars on the job site when this song comes on! All our employees think we’re the strangest bosses on the planet!
I was going through some things internally around the time this song came out and started working out/running to try to better myself. The euphoria when this song came on at the end of a good run.
The first time I heard them was Torn to pieces right after my Dad committed suicide in 2021. I was numb and then I cried to the song. Then I heard this song to be re motivated. I remembered music can change you and help you.
Love these guys. They came to our base in NC for a free show to us Marines and the lead singer asked me and my friend if we could hold him up on the fence while he jammed out! This new song is amazing!!
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere Compliment and love towards my music 🙏

Absolutely true!
80's kid here as well. Hearing a lot of meshuggah riffs being used by bands today.
Yes and no. I keep hearing a lot of garbage, but there are gems out there like this.

This isn't metal 🤣🤣🤣
More like pop rock 🤦🏻♂️
One of few bands that successfully adds modern effects without sacrificing riffage. Thanks Pop Evil
Riffage is a very underused word.
Well put
Exactly!
Low end is fucking brutal in this song. Love it👍
Amen
Damn that riff hits hard
Didn't know you listen to these guys! Hoping for a reaction!
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 same!!! when i first heard this song i thought of nik nocturnal!
@@allisonhill3233 haha I've seen you around a few times!
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 He doesn't, Pop Evil contacted him to make a reaction video so he did

You too brother!! I'm the same, I hear this and something clicks in my head, #lfg #stayconsistent #quittomorrow
Best wishes to you and thank you!
I never much cared for Pop Evil but if this is the direction they’re going I will definitely be paying attention. This is an awesome song!
Fuckin right, this is a banger!
Waking the Lions
All their shit is fire
Well this is actually similar to stuff on their last album
You should listen to “trenches” then
This is beyond any doubt one of the best tracks this band has ever released. This is pure addiction.
This hits me to my core, i went from stressing out about how i was going to live, wether or not i was going to be homeless but i ended up going to get my class A CDL and im now a truck driver, i am no longer stressed out, or as the song puts it, i can breathe again.
LETS FUCKING GO BRO
Welcome to the trucking world my brother 💪🏼 stay safe on the roads and remember as a fellow trucker we’re in this shit show together
Hell ya man!
thats how its done! good shit brotha
That’s awesome
I've got almost 7 months clean off of drugs and I'm getting my life back. "I can finally breathe again.Letting go,I feel alive!"
3rd day off heroine...🙏
Congrats friend! Hope someone going thru the same thing sees this
Congrats my friend, I hope you and everyone else keep getting better
3 years clean off of heroin and crack! Keep going my friend it gets easier! Make sure you have a great support system, counseling and a good sponsor is underrated 🙂 good luck to you!
You got this 5 years sober still a battle to not hit the fuck it button keep going remind yourself why you got sober good luck bro!!
After almost 2 years of fighting with depression, I can safely say "I CAN FINALLY BREATHE AGAIN"! And to those still fighting it, I'll help you every step of the way, and I promise you can do it 💪❤

Been battling depression for decades. This music keeps me going
AMEN!! Same here. I have battled depression for years among other things and losing my job the year before. Have a new job...back on my 2 feet...a better outlook on life and a better one. I definitely can BREATHE AGAIN!!
I'm just crying and still fighting against it, but reading your text makes me happy right now ❤

This song hits me so much. After my father passed away 😢 last month, this song has inspired me to pick myself up and keep moving forward.

They are good but not as good as Shinedown.. just my opinion
Im quite impressed by the drums myself. Dang!

The PERFECT band! Heavy ass riffs, hard but soothing vocals, a drummer few can top. 10 on 10
Interviewing Leigh was definitely an honor and privilege. Yes we know he’s an awesome musician. But what a great guy!
You guys rock, yet again you've released a song that speaks to me and my life. Thank you! This is an amazing song!
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my music 🙏
Wow. I wonder when my mind will come back after hearing that. Do that some more please. Especially the drummer. Wheee❤
It’s crazy my life was going downhill then i found this song and now everything is coming back together. Thank You Pop Evil😊
"It's getting darker numbing the pain inside" Wheeeeeewwww ‼️🔥
Can't wait! I showed my best friend this song, and she loved it!
Damn, Cramer is one of the hardest hitters of the skins of all time. She kicks ass!
Probably one of the best songs ever made. 5 million views and its still so under-rated. Thank you for this track Pop evil. You are all amazing.

The chills through my body from this song perpetuate until the end!
Damn those drums girl
Wow!!!
i wouldnt have noticed if it wasnt for this comment
She’s fuckkng insanely good !

I came here, by accident clicking on an ad, after two seconds I loved the song.
Same lmao
Best accident of your life
Same and that’s also how I found Ovtlier
I found their song walking the lions through an ad. The first time I actually enjoyed an add on youtube
Love those mistakes!
Awesome track, can't get enough of it! 2024
Thank You God. I can finally breathe again. ✝️🎺
My grandma passed away a little over a year ago, she had COPD and asthma and smoked for years, and less than 25% if her lungs working but I know she's in Heaven and can breathe again.
This is one of those songs that sends shivers through my whole body (in a good way) Love the chorus in this song
Futuristic, timeless music!!! Right now for us to enjoy!!! Powerful, speaks to my soul!!! Thanks to this great band for this great work of ART!!!

This sounds amazing. It's mixed so damn well.
The new album is going to be sooooooo good.
A regular on my playlist. The feeling in it!
Pop evil rocks
I agree🤘
This is an absolute unit of a song! Who else gets the chills at 2:56?
This slaps me emotionally.
This songs been my GO TO for finishing workouts and getting through rough days, just seeing the video for the first time right now & it’s even BETTER than I ever envisioned it to be!!! 🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
I can finally breathe again
Buried and burdened, my patience was gone
Blinded, my vision was wrong
Head underwater in waves I could see
I found the strength in me
The strength in me
Get up, get up
I can finally breathe again
Standing on my own two feet again
Learning that my scars won't bleed again
Mistakes I couldn't undo
Try to destroy you
I can finally breathe again
I can finally breathe again
It's getting darker, numbing the pain inside
Feels like forever, all the times I tried
To be myself, break the chains, no one ever sees
I found the strength in me
I can finally breathe again
Standing on my own two feet again
Learning that my scars won't bleed again
Mistakes I couldn't undo
Try to destroy you
I can finally breathe again
Breathe again
Letting go of the weight inside
Can we give this another try?
Letting go, I feel alive
I can finally breathe again
Standing on my own two feet again
Learning that my scars won't bleed again
Mistakes I couldn't undo
Try to destroy you
I can finally breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
Breathe again
These guys are one of the best bands of past decade. Love them.

Never heard of this band in my life but damn this is great. I don’t even need the screams, it’s great as is
My favorite Pop Evil song! Looking forward to seeing the boys in Buffalo later this month!

MAGNIFICENT SONG 🤘🏻
Heard this band being played coming off ads to the Jim Rome show. Great sound. Great song.
If these riffs don't make your heart explode I don't know what will.
These riffs are weak. Godsmack has heavier riffs than these guys
I don’t know man I’m the 1:30 mark chills me more than any godsmack riff

I was going through some things internally around the time this song came out and started working out/running to try to better myself. The euphoria when this song came on at the end of a good run.

This is a freaking BANGER!
Y'all are practically a completely new band now. love this!!!!!!!!!!
Strong vocals 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
This song. Hits my soul.
This song is such positive song and this song helping other people god bless you
Man the vocals are so pure sounding in this track. Keep up the great song writing!
Awesome video Guys! its one of those videos when you finish watching, you just want more 😃
Cant wait for the new album! 😃
Rock on Pop Evil 😃
If this is Pop Evil's direction, they just might be my new favorite
This is a really sick song
Absolutely. Beyond any doubt the best track this band has put out. This and Torn to Pieces.
Leigh Kakaty Will Forever Be A Part Of My Family & Canada. Great Music Brother....
Wow, they've done it again, awesome video
Love these guys. They came to our base in NC for a free show to us Marines and the lead singer asked me and my friend if we could hold him up on the fence while he jammed out! This new song is amazing!!
They need to be the Super Bowl halftime show next year.
Waaaay better than these kids bop artists
That would be freaking amazing. If any band could do an epic sports anthem medley...
I wish!
Their poppy enough, so sure.
These guys continue to amaze me!!
That chorus is sooo damn catchy!!! hell yea!🤘🏻
Hidden gem
I can't wait to go see them live. Love them and so does my 11yr old daughter
They are kick ass live, one of the best concerts I've been to I think. They had all of us completely captivated. 🥰🤩
Just saw Pop Evil for the 1st. time at Upheaval Festival at Grand Rapids Michigan. Incredible set. Would go see again without hesitation
Thanks for the great love and support you show me as a special fan of mine, I hope you won't stop listening to music, and thanks for your sincere
