      The lots of Ahhh (or ass) has a lot to do with Southern Drawls as in the accent one would encounter in the Southern United States. Apply that to 90 plus percent of Singers that are from the Southern United States, many you have reviewed in the past. Oliver Anthony, and Layne Staley are such examples of, though Oliver Anthony also has that Blood Hound Bay in his singing voice along with a Southern Drawl.

    This song saved my life. My bottom was nothing like I've ever thought I would go thru. Living homeless with rats no running water no electricity. When I first heard this song it was like it clicked I was creating the madness and I had to stand up and fight for myself for my life. Today with 6 years of clean time working each day on my recovery my life is beyond measure in so many ways I sometimes look back to my last day out there that I am totally amazed I'm still alive and still fighting for myself. Thank you Shinedown will be seeing them again in October with Jelly Roll.

    The video shows a little girl getting kidnapped and a man going around finding info about where she is. Then he goes in guns blazing and kills the men who are holding her captive. The hug scene is when he brings her back to her family and the father is thanking him for saving his daughter. Then the man goes back to his home and puts up her missing child flyer on his wall showing that hes saved dozens of children from the same fate. Powerful video and an even more powerful song. The song has helped me to stay strong in some of my darkest hours. I owe a debt of gratitude to Shinedown and am a huge fan of their work now.

    If you want a wide range in a single track you need to listen to "I'll Follow You". Also just need to say again that I LOVE your reactions. I've heard this song literally hundreds of times and you still brought up little things that I've never noticed before. Also a couple songs with awesome videos are Enemies and Asking For It. Asking for it shows the great relationship the band has with each other and their great sense of humor. If you do asking for it do the "official short film" version. It's so good.

    Over a decade ago I was in a car accident that caused a permanent neck injury and everlasting chronic pain. I lost my career and my life as I knew it; I grieved for years. I had just started dealing with lawyers for the insurance and I was having trouble - along with deep depression - when I first heard this song. It helped me get up off my ass and fight harder. My life is so much better because I chose to take this song to heart.

    I first got this album in 2009. Call Me was perfect for that year, relationship wise and I never really paid attention to this song until a few years ago. A alcohol dependency since that year, years before was building and as a recovering alcoholic now to me it was almost like Brent was talking to me, basically saying cut the woe is me crap. "I wrote the book on pain but somehow I still remain." Basically no one cares and no one can change yourself but you. Him clapping at the beginning was like a mocking "good job bro." "You can sleep with a gun but when are you going to wake up and fight...for yourself." It literally hurt when I actually paid attention the first time. Woke me up. One of my favorite singers along with Adam Duritz of Counting Crows.

    So glad Brent recommended this. He is one of the BEST singers in rock music when it comes to enunciation and using all the powers of the voice, as you see in this analysis. You should check out some of his music he did with just himself and Zach during covid. You'll find it under 'Smith & Myers'. They cover 'Unchained Melody' and it will knock your socks off, again, his vocal abilities and then I recommend an original they did called 'New School Shiver'. I am in awe of Brent's vocal abilities.

He stepped up onto the monitor & had his arms out to the side on that line, it wouldn't have surprised me if he HAD taken flight in that instant.

    Storytime
    Back in 2009 I went to a two-day music festival that Shinedown headlined and I had already met Brent and the guys multiple times from going to a lot of their concerts. But anyways after waiting for hours to see them, being in the front row, they came out and performed the first song then started getting the crowd more hyped. Brent then noticed me in the crowd and put me on the jumbotron and said I'm not singing until you smile! The thing was I had Bells Palsy at the time so half of my face was paralyzed and couldn't move, so I give him the two-face smile in front of thousands of people, but whatever at least it's a memory that I'll always have and a story to tell, that Brent Smith singled me out and put me on the big screens for not showing enough emotion at the time. Brent will always be my favorite singer/celebrity that I've ever met!

    Elizabeth I wanted to say thank you for the analysis of the depression and the struggle and pain that you have to fight through. I am diagnosed 25 years of bipolar 2 with depression and General anxiety disorder. I isolate and am afraid of the outside world which adds to the depression. Music is my life. I have a support group in place that consists of a case manager to help me with social anxiety and getting me to appointments and my biggest and most important person is my nephew that comes and gets me and takes me to his house to get out to watch a movie or football. I turned him into a metalhead by turning him onto Metallica and the song "One". I can cope in situations if I am with someone that I trust and understands me and sees the qeues of my possible panic attack and makes me focus on a conversation with them. I fight everyday to get better and have done better. My nephew and I went to a Metallica concert in 2019 and that was so liberating. I love Metallica and him and any Metallica fan can tell you that fans are family so I wasn't freaking out. I just focused on James and even sang along and had the best time. Anyway I love this song and now see it in a different light and love it even more. You always do a great job with your videos and I appreciate you being "there" for me. I hope that your baby and husband are doing well. Best wishes always from a friend that you don't know but knows you and appreciates all that you do for all of us! Thank you!

    This was THE song that made me really notice Shinedown. If there's ever a need in life to be motivated, just put this song on and BAM! I have a terrible celebrity crush on Brent. Not only is he one of the most gifted vocalists of all time, but he seems so down to earth. You don't see that much in rock stars. I have to agree with him. This is the song to know if you want to know Shinedown. 🤘(You should also do "Not Strong Enough", which he did with Apocalyptica. Knowing he's from TN, when he sings "You look in my eyes, I'm stripped of my pride", you can really hear his southern accent on the "I" sounds. The video is fantastic.)

    I first heard Shinedown back in highschool. The local radio station kept playing 45 and I loved it so much that I tracked down and figured out when the CD was going to be released. Then on the DAY it came out, I went to MediaPlay (remember those?) and bought Leave A Whisper and listened to it out in my car on repeat for DAYS. I've been a fan of Shinedown ever since.

She truly hates rock and metal but absolutely adores these guys more than any other band. They help her out so much and I love them for that. She’s seen them several times, I’ve had the privilege to see them once. It was incredible. This was the first album I’ve listened to fully, front to back, and really loved. It’s so nostalgic for me now. I recently found out I share the same birthday as Brent, January 10th. I’d love to meet him one day, shake his hand and thank him.
