People that dont like Staind are the people that dont feel amotion as we do. Aaron has some deep shit and i ALWAYS relate to whats hes saying. Aaron Lewis is a BADASS and if you agree then THUMBS UP!
My all time favorite band ever I relate to every song I feel like they was me t for me. Helped me though a lot of hard times even wanting to commit suicide if it wasn’t for Arron Lewis I’d been gone a long time ago... thanks for all the greatest music ever made Arron Lewis staind
That's the thing everyone has forgotten, we all see the same world in different ways. That's what I love about art, (all forms) we'll never see or hear it the same way. It touches all of us in different ways.
People say there's something wrong with Aaron but in reality those are the people whom he is probably intenting these lyrics for. He's just opening the door with his lyrics for people to come in and realize that they are not alone in their emotions and feelings towards this world of ours. Sick or not enjoy the song.
I think the problem is people aren’t used to men having emotions. Normally we aren’t allowed to express ourselves without being dragged in the dirt. So Aaron speaks, it resonates with us.
I dont know if there is something wrong. Hes just become a bit of a self righteous douchebag. His entire identity has now become about his political beliefs and his music is reflecting it to a repetitive and boring level. But as long as this stuff still exists i can still be a fan of this aaron lewis. But ill never spend money to see him live again.
I have always loved staind's lyrics. I'm more broken than the world knows. Here I am almost 30 still dealing with my abuse from childhood. Aaron Lewis has been a saving grace for me. I don't feel so alone.
Alisha Hatcher don’t know u but if u ever need anybody I’ll be their no matter when where and time cause iv been their so many times and I know how it feels u should never feel alone as hard as it is to admit sometimes I ust to be the worst but iv learned it helps having someone
This is real. Hands down, Aaron Lewis is the greatest singer of this era, preiod. There is no other singer that can deliver this much emotions while still having the greatest singing voice. A real hero i would call him, never got the chance to thank him on their concert thou. Never ever stop doing what you are doing, it's a source of light and inspiration to everyone that listens to you.
Don't listen to this song while going through a hard time with your partner.. The emotional aspect of this song is so deep it will make you feel things are worse than really are.. (My case and also another factor involved.) Still a beautiful song that I always come back too but also puts me in a dark space.. Honestly, I think most of his songs (mainly acoustic versions) drop me down. Lived it and there's so much emotion in his voice. Case in point, What Hurts The Most, written by Jeffery Steele, made famous by Rascial Flatts.. Rascial Flatts sounded (flat, no emotion) Jeffery's acoustic version was beautiful and powerful. Aaron dropped the tempo and added his own feel to it.. Absolutely fucking beautiful! I can't say who is first/second with that song but can definitely say who's third.. (Flatts)
Been listening 🎶 to STAIND since I was around 20ish.... now just turned 40, and he still has the ability to give me chills!! I love him, always have, and following him on his musical journey has been such a huge part of me. I can hear a song of his and bam, it's staind, and a bon fire!! Now he is older, so am I and his songs reflect that, LOVE IT!! love Lewis. .. he will always rock 🤘
I can honeslty go out on a limb and say he is one of the best male vocalists of all time. To be able to go out in front of 50,000 people at a time, and still sound great is beyond me, but he can do it. He has emotion when he sings unlike all these fake bands we see today.
Glad I grew up in the golden age of music. I was born in 1999 but I love most metal, rock, rap etc. from 1990-2012 and after that most stuff went to shit but there is still good stuff today but not like this and it's the same with games, tv, movies etc. wish I could go back to those years and the nostalgia is hitting hard for me when I listen to this. Anyone else?
"Please" Can't you see that I'm sick of this? Chances are you're oblivious to how I feel Sitting on your throne, and I'm sure that I'm not alone, Not alone, not alone. Tell me please, Who the fuck did you want me to be? Was it something that I couldn't see? Never knew this would be so political. And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin And it's starting to tear from within But it's obvious that doesn't bother you, so please I didn't think that you'd sell me out Now I know what you're all about. You might feel in control of things. But you're not holding all the strings. All the strings, all the strings. Tell me please, Who the fuck did you want me to be? Was it something that I couldn't see? Never knew this would be so political. And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin And it's starting to tear from within But it's obvious that doesn't matter to you, So please I've swallowed all your answers I've swallowed all my pride You've used up all your chances Can't keep this all inside Tell me please, Who the fuck did you want me to be? Was it something that I couldn't see? Never knew this would be so political. And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin And it's starting to tear from within But it's obvious that doesn't bother you So please don't keep telling me that it's ok I don't buy all the shit that you say And quite honestly I'm fucking sick of it so please if I cut off this nose from my face Then I wouldn't feel so out of place But it still wouldn't be quite enough for you, so please.
How can an ordinary guy like me give Arron Lewis a compliment he has not heard before? hmm well I do not know but I can give him the compliment myself believe is the mother of compliments in the music world. and it goes like this: Our Parents, had John Lennon, We have Arron Lewis
Aaron Lewis is awesome! I can always relate 2 his emotions in his songs. Its dark and full of pain but it helps u 2 not give in and 2 keep on fighting.
Being a huge fan of staind since they came out, I rushed down to k-mart 😆 and bought this album as soon as it was available. Many great songs on this album, but I really liked this one. 15 years later I still love this song. Nothing has changed, and yet everything has changed. The world has gone crazy; But how I feel this song hasn’t changed at all:
this song really gets to me arron lewis one hell off a good singer and you sing this song really good and it is an awesome song and i am glad to have grown up with your music and i still love your songs still today .
Saw him acoustic in 09 I think. Gotta be the best singer I've ever seen in person. It's like he could have been an opera singer if he wanted. Glad he didn't though.
The acoustic of this always tears me up. Absolutely beautiful. Its second to Excess Baggage from to Aaron Lewis. That one will turn me into a baby instantly.
please (specialy live acoustic version) and outside are his best songs, so much meaning so powerful so deep right from heart to the head in your brain and back to your heart and u realize "Wtf is this my world?"
Lungs . Aaron is a modern day story teller. His younger days and songs Don’t convey to what or how he feels Now. But who else y’all Know that can sing like That ?
Did you ever think about how this song was written. i honestly feel that aaron wrote it for his partner, but wrote it for her in the sense if she was to ever write a song for him these are the words she would write. this song is so much more powerful and meaningful than many people first think....... its aaron's most intimate emotions disguised in a beautiful and heartfelt song.
This and when I'm gone my 2 favorite songs.aaron lewis is the most amazing singer in the world.before him I listened to lot chris cornell .alice n chains.miss chris cornell and layne Staley.but aaron lewis my new favorite for sure
2016 i relapsed and oded listening to this song (wasn't a intentional od) cause i couldnt take being my babymomma separate me from my son nd i put my life on the line everyday for us nd i put up with alot of shit. We got back together for my son nd even tho i tried to stay sober months after the final brake up i relapses again and been caught in the cycle till now...
this song says just how much I'd like to leave this disgusting world behind forever. I'm one of the unlucky few who still cries out for help in a world full of deaf ears. To those who scream for help in hopes that someone hears, you're not alone.
My favourite part : Don't keep telling me that it's ok...I don't buy all the sh*t that u say...this song makes me shiver each and everytime I listen it :(
People that dont like Staind are the people that dont feel amotion as we do.
Aaron has some deep shit and i ALWAYS relate to whats hes saying.
Aaron Lewis is a BADASS and if you agree then THUMBS UP!
My all time favorite band ever I relate to every song I feel like they was me t for me. Helped me though a lot of hard times even wanting to commit suicide if it wasn’t for Arron Lewis I’d been gone a long time ago... thanks for all the greatest music ever made Arron Lewis staind
I fucking love his voice. Dude can sing too. Deffo in my 3 with Chester Bennington and M Shadows
Agree 👍👍👍
That's the thing everyone has forgotten, we all see the same world in different ways. That's what I love about art, (all forms) we'll never see or hear it the same way. It touches all of us in different ways.

He's just opening the door with his lyrics for people to come in and realize that they are not alone in their emotions and feelings towards this world of ours. Sick or not enjoy the song.
I love the man
I'd like to know who's talking shit on my boy Aaron cuz I'll slap em in the face. Best musician on earth
I think the problem is people aren’t used to men having emotions. Normally we aren’t allowed to express ourselves without being dragged in the dirt. So Aaron speaks, it resonates with us.
I dont know if there is something wrong. Hes just become a bit of a self righteous douchebag.

A part from the fact that he s racist asf
This hits me so deep, and I can't stop hitting replay. 2019 first time hearing it.
Right click on it, hit 'loop,' and ta da:)
Its my favorite song.hes amazing everything he does is from the heart
That was me about 5-6 years ago. I feel your pain. Still love this song.
It's the last song on the CD
this is my stuck on an island song cant get enough
just hearing this dude sing relaxes my soul.
I have always loved staind's lyrics. I'm more broken than the world knows. Here I am almost 30 still dealing with my abuse from childhood. Aaron Lewis has been a saving grace for me. I don't feel so alone.
35 yrs ols bro still dealing with my mothers death bk on 04 still have fights with her even tho she has been gone for decades
I wish you healing and conquest of the things that failed to beat you.
I felt that alisha
Alisha Hatcher don’t know u but if u ever need anybody I’ll be their no matter when where and time cause iv been their so many times and I know how it feels u should never feel alone as hard as it is to admit sometimes I ust to be the worst but iv learned it helps having someone
Fuck that, man! Work on being more mentally strong and overcome that shit. Don't let it control your life.
The word fuck never sounded so beautiful 😂
I would argue tearjerker by Red Hot Chili Peppers (to me is the greatest fuck) because it was for Kurt cobain
Just like wine, over the years this song just gets better and better. Staind was more than music back then and will live through ages
"More than music" exactly. It was therapy for me back in early 00s.
This is real. Hands down, Aaron Lewis is the greatest singer of this era, preiod. There is no other singer that can deliver this much emotions while still having the greatest singing voice. A real hero i would call him, never got the chance to thank him on their concert thou. Never ever stop doing what you are doing, it's a source of light and inspiration to everyone that listens to you.
If you can relate to this song , then you understand what life about VTL
This version is mind blowing amazing. Dont listen to it if u just broke up with ex. Then u will play it over even more times lol
Facts
😂😂😂 I played this directly to my ex before I left. This song is bad@$$
Don't listen to this song while going through a hard time with your partner.. The emotional aspect of this song is so deep it will make you feel things are worse than really are..

Now he is older, so am I and his songs reflect that, LOVE IT!! love Lewis. .. he will always rock 🤘
This song sings to me power behind the words spoken! I still get goosebumps everytime i listen to it
I just can't get enough of his songs....I'm in love with him and his songs :(
this song works sooooo much better as an acoustic song, his voice is just perfect on this..
This song so hits home. It's my life. Love you Aaron. Your music always touches my heart
This song is amazing and touches your soul! Everyone can relate to music in some sort of way! But this song right here..... Explains my life!
I can honeslty go out on a limb and say he is one of the best male vocalists of all time. To be able to go out in front of 50,000 people at a time, and still sound great is beyond me, but he can do it. He has emotion when he sings unlike all these fake bands we see today.
My wife and I were there during this. It was AWESOME!
aaron needs to make a solo CD covering old staind songs just. like. this...the emotion takes the music to another level
Would be amazing 💯
His country albums are amazing. So Glad to see the band back. The three tracks already released are heavy and tight. Good sh#t......
No other artist can make me feel like he does!
totally
Glad I grew up in the golden age of music. I was born in 1999 but I love most metal, rock, rap etc. from 1990-2012 and after that most stuff went to shit but there is still good stuff today but not like this and it's the same with games, tv, movies etc. wish I could go back to those years and the nostalgia is hitting hard for me when I listen to this. Anyone else?
brooo same!!! before all this iphone instagram vain selfie age and entitled kids
Same. Born in 99 as well
You're all babies! Lol
Born in 2003 and the only metalhead in my life
This is the song I put on repeat over and over
Couldn’t said it better myself Aarons lyrics are 100% real life for 80% of the people to listen to her and Guy love him for putting it out there
14 years ago. Still yust as powerful now as it was the first time
"Please"
Can't you see that I'm sick of this?
Chances are you're oblivious to how I feel
Sitting on your throne, and I'm sure that I'm not alone,
Not alone, not alone.
Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin
And it's starting to tear from within
But it's obvious that doesn't bother you, so please
I didn't think that you'd sell me out
Now I know what you're all about.
You might feel in control of things.
But you're not holding all the strings.
All the strings, all the strings.
Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin
And it's starting to tear from within
But it's obvious that doesn't matter to you,
So please
I've swallowed all your answers
I've swallowed all my pride
You've used up all your chances
Can't keep this all inside
Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin
And it's starting to tear from within
But it's obvious that doesn't bother you
So please don't keep telling me that it's ok
I don't buy all the shit that you say
And quite honestly I'm fucking sick of it
so please if I cut off this nose from my face
Then I wouldn't feel so out of place
But it still wouldn't be quite enough for you,
so please.
This is the definition of epic. Officially.
A song that you feel inside your soul... Narcissistic tendacies via relationship terror. Rules for thee and not me...
How can an ordinary guy like me give Arron Lewis a compliment he has not heard before? hmm well I do not know but I can give him the compliment myself believe is the mother of compliments in the music world. and it goes like this: Our Parents, had John Lennon, We have Arron Lewis
Lol perfect !!
Nice sentiment. Major reach.
love it I lived John Lennon's whole music history I was born in Qxford what a man...Enjoy Aaron he is Amazing...
I listen to this music every day
Superb. I go right to their music when i'm depressed
Aaron Lewis is awesome! I can always relate 2 his emotions in his songs. Its dark and full of pain but it helps u 2 not give in and 2 keep on fighting.
Being a huge fan of staind since they came out, I rushed down to k-mart 😆 and bought this album as soon as it was available. Many great songs on this album, but I really liked this one.
15 years later I still love this song. Nothing has changed, and yet everything has changed. The world has gone crazy; But how I feel this song hasn’t changed at all:
Loved this song years ago. 2020 first time hearing this acoustic. And pissed about it. Another great performance.
17 Aaron Lewis and/or Staind shows... This was a great one ..
I have loved this song since the album came out and this acoustic version add so much emotion. love Aaron Lewis
Heard him sing this live in Vegas... changed my life.
This version gives me goosebumps still after all these years…
His cover of “nutshell” is one of the most emotional covers of all time Iv heard from big man A.L❤️

The day I stopped saying please, and started saying fuck you was the best day of my life.
Me too brother
This is the best live performance in the world
You missed 1991 Moscow
Aaron Lewis is one of the best vocalists and song writers in history. Just listen to his words and remember these are straight from his heart.
The acoustic of this always tears me up. Absolutely beautiful. Its second to Excess Baggage from to Aaron Lewis. That one will turn me into a baby instantly.
I think this version is absolutely more meaning and powerful than original???
im up at 4 am this is my 5th time watchin it and all these lyrics and emotions im goin thru aaron is awesome!
lionofjudah373 same here. Listened to it about 6 times so far going over my recently failed relationship.

I LOVE AARON LEWIS AND STAIND! this is what you call music. expression through music.
Lungs . Aaron is a modern day story teller. His younger days and songs
Don’t convey to what or how he feels

That ?
He has one of the greatest voices that I've ever heard!!! Great song, so damn relatable...
💙 Still gives me chills after so many years.

Did you ever think about how this song was written. i honestly feel that aaron wrote it for his partner, but wrote it for her in the sense if she was to ever write a song for him these are the words she would write. this song is so much more powerful and meaningful than many people first think....... its aaron's most intimate emotions disguised in a beautiful and heartfelt song.
