My son died on March 10 2018. He left us messages all week. My daughter woke up the last time we heard from him with this song stuck in her head. She said I have heard the song I know its a song but not what its about or who sings it. All she knew was tell my mother tell my father I did the best I can. I put those words into google lyrics. And I found Shinedown. He said he was halfway there, he said this is my voice but only for today. He said this was his chance for a second chance. I have been listening to it over and over and over. I just wanted you to know my son sent me his last message using your song and it was beautiful thank you
I blasted this song on my way back home after I left the Army, months after coming home from my deployment in 2009, and I can't believe that even now I can't hear this song without crying and thinking about everything I went through to get to where I am today.
+norbert slusher Thanks for your service, I hope the government is treating you right (I have major issues with the way the government treats Vets) & don't forget there is a time of " re-assimilating" even after deployments that don't leave you with PTSD, etc. so don't hesitate to ask for help whether you need it or not...best of luck to you!
+norbert slusher Thank you Sir for being in the Army and for putting your butt on the line for mine! I tear-up when I hear this song because it is one of the first ways my 34 year old son who moved to heaven in 2010 came through to let me know he is still with me in spirit.
I lost my dad little over a week ago now from being shot and this is one things i still have left from him. He always told me to look for inspiration and this is one of the songs that did it for me, love you dad and I'll always miss you.
I am so sorry for your loss sweetie. Music is the best for inspiration, these guys seem to be able to look right into your soul and knowing every single emotion you've got hiding in there. We all have the same stages of grief, yet can grieve differently on any given day. Allow yourself and be kind to yourself. You never stop missing them no matter how old you are. Mine has been gone for nearly 30 years and I still have days that it feels like yesterday.
I've spent about 2 days rediscovering my childhood bands/songs Shinedown Three Days Grace All-American Rejects Breaking Benjamin Fall Out Boy Blink 182 Nickelback Def Leppard Alice Cooper Kings of Leon We the Kings
MiStERSoDACaN im doing this right now lol,ive already done kings of leon, blink 182, fall out boy, breaking benjamin, all-american rejects, & now shinedown. also going to do coldplay, 3 doors down, & the fray.
Lyrics: My eyes are open wide And by the way, I made it through the day I watched the world outside By the way, I'm leaving out today I just saw Halley's comet She waved Said, "Why you always running in place?" Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere [Chorus] Tell my mother, Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying... Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Please don't cry one tear for me I'm not afraid Of what I have to say This is my one and only voice So listen close, It's only for today I just saw Halley's comet She waved Said, "Why you always running in place?" Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere
[Chorus] Tell my mother, Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying... Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Here's my chance This is my chance Tell my mother, Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying... Sometimes goodbye is a second chance [2x] Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Anyone else here remembers Hailey’s Comet? I remember the night but I couldn’t see it. I remember thinking if I’m alive in my 80’s maybe I’d get a *second chance* to see it again. Half way there...
This was why I joined the Army. I was 20 with nothing good going on and my parents treating me like I was acting, like a kid. I said fuck this, quit my job at Burger King, and went to a recruiter's office. The next month I went to Basic. That was in 1997 and today I try to make my kids make their own decisions as much as I can while keeping them safe. They have to make decisions in real life when they grow up and it won't always be easy to do. I want to make them as independent as possible so that when they say goodbye, they will have the best shot at finding themselves out there and come home knowing who THEY are and what THEY want in life. That is not a decision parents can make for their kids. They must make it.
OnlineNamesAreStrange They're still trying to do their best for you. Sure, I'd like my kids to be doctors or some such thing, but will they become that? I honestly don't know. My dad wanted me to be an engineer. Math is my worst issue as far as that goes, and there was never any way I'd ever be an engineer. My dad and I fought over that for years until he gave up on it. It didn't make matters any better as he tried shoving "You will become a Sate engineer" down my throat. I want my kids to do well. Any parent who loves their kids wants this. But I want them to love what they do as well, and that requires them to find their own way.
I mean that regardless of how you FEEL about it, they love you and want you to succeed at something. Well meaning. I've nothing to say about their methods of telling you this. That's between you and them. And maybe they do need to back off. Who am I to say?
Oh, I'm not some great dad. I'm just a guy trying to do the best he can. It's not easy LOL. Believe me. Kids are difficult. They ask for something, you get it for them, then it's not good enough. They want something else. Then you're the worst man on earth when you say that little word no kids likes... "No". My daughter just turned twelve and has SO much attitude toward everyone. I understand it's hormones. I remember my sister going through the same thing, it was a nightmare back then as much as it is now LOL. Boy I can't WAIT until she's sixteen LMAO. I don't know what I'm going to do when I tell her "No you can't stay out all night" and she takes her keys and says "Fuck you dad" and goes anyway. I'll probably do what I always do, sound like that dad from the "Croods", yelling a bunch of nonsense and not even having the ability to complete an actual word LOL. "Noyoucannotgoout!!!" LOL Nobody's perfect. I don't know your parents. Maybe they are shitty? I honestly don't know, but a lot of good can come out of giving them a break.
I'll say this, too. One of these days you will likely be a parent as well. And you will understand much of what it is you're hating at the moment. And... You'll have your own viewpoint on it still. Some you will still find to be BS, but you'll have a new respect for your parents. My daughter blows up every time I turn the radio on to listen to music I like, in my own truck. I get the "Oh gawd, I can't believe you're listening to this loser noise, dad". I have to laugh because you know what? I did that exact same thing to my parents LOL. "I'm gonna puke if you don't turn that garbage off mom". Hell, I did a whole lot worse to my parents than my own kids do to my wife and I. I consider myself lucky LOL. I was terrible to my parents, but I only see that now. Back when I was a kid I only saw that I wanted to do what I wanted and my parents stood in the way of that. I didn't know that the words "No" and "You're grounded" had literally kept me out of jail, or killing myself doing something stupid. I guess there is no point to my saying more as it's looking like a lecture or something else equally lame. I'm only speaking from my perspective. I don't consider it the right perspective or the wrong one. It's just mine. Take it as you will.
Well, I wish you good luck in your endeavors. Like I said, it's just from my perspective, and it's neither wrong or right. It's just mine. My family's culture is vastly different than my neighbor even. No two alike.
I fist heard this song when I most felt alone and lost. And damn, I really needed to hear these words. I needed to be reminded how much i'm worth on my own. Second Chance made me gather immense courage to stand in front of my parents and say: "No! I don't! want to do this anymore! I want to be an animator! what's wrong with that?" and it came to them as a shock, bc they thought they knew me better than I know myself. I've been learning to be more emotionally open ever since.
This song touches everyone who has a dream. It truly expresses deep feeling for wanting to succeed. When the odds are against you. It is inspirational to say the very least. Just stops you long enough to think about trying harder.
I only discovered this band last year through this song. It means so much to me. Wish there were more bands like Shinedown with music that has great meaning. Now I’m hooked and I’ll never stop listening to them.💗
All kinds of music out there with great meaning behind the words. Just a few off the top of my head: -Porcupine Tree -Little Simz -Tool -clipping. -The Microphones (or really anything by Phil Elverum) -Adrienne Lenker -Kara Jackson -Kendrick Lamar -Black Midi
Because of this song. I overcame thr abuse my mother put me through. Because of this song. I joined the air force. Because of this song. I realized that it is my life. I choose what I wish to do. My family has no control over my world, my life. I am in control. So thank you. Thank you for teaching me, showing me. That I. Have a choice. I have a reason. I am important. I am who I am. And nothing will ever change that. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song. You allowed me to break away from a broken home and find a home where I belong. Where is have a place. This song has allowed me to see who I am. Who I will be. NY greatest wish us seeing you in person. To thank you for all you have done for me. This song kept me alive. So thank you. Really. Thank you.
Right? Man, I love Shinedown, not only because they're crazy awesome, but because their music always has a deeper meaning behind that sweet hair that the singer has.
I hear you there. last year I attempted suicide if this song hadnt started playing in my living room I don't think I would still be here. music saves the soul
Oddly enough, I heard this song for the first time when I went off to military Basic Training for the Air Force. Kinda fits... I was so ready to get away and start my life without being held down by anything. Sometimes goodbye actually is a second chance, because I'm doing alright :)
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile. Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan? Have a blessed day and stay safe..
I was abused as a child & ran away from home. I sent this to my parents 5 years later. It got me through so many dark hard times. Still 1 on my playlist.
This song helped me deal with the death of my son more than anything else did, and I will always be grateful. I can now listen to it and smile rather than break down. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Shinedown.
Its utterly amazing to see how much music can effect people. It saved peoples lives and changed it. Its one of the best things in the world in my opinion.
I lost my Mother to cancer when I was 3. She was 22. At the age of 6, I began racing with little to no funds, to direct my focus onto something positive. I have raced to raise 30k for childhood cancer fighters and their families. I pray frequently. This year I was accepted into NASCAR school. I’ve made the associated press and global news, finished 3rd in points for Chevrolet, and continue with 5 career poles, 5 wins and 10 top 10’s. Goodbye is hard. But sometimes goodbye is a second chance. Sunsets are always followed by the sunrise. I miss my Mom Samantha and continue to honor her everyday. I love you, Shinedown. You’re an inspiration.
I would If I was in a better spot when I first heard it lol when I first heard it I was like 14 and just moved out of my parents and was living like a feral kid lol
This reminds me of my brother, who is a marine who is in California, so much. Before he left I remember we jammed out to this song in the car. We had the volume really high up and we were singing every word. It was one of those moments that was so amazing to be in. I found this song a while back on accident and when I listened to it, I smiled and cried so much. I miss my brother a lot and this song is just one of those things that immediately makes me think of him. This song is amazing and I listen to it almost everyday now.
My dad and I had alot of problems growing up. He was very controlling and abusive emotionally and verbally. I just wanted him to let me be me and love me for being me. I had a huge passion for art and writing, but i was constantly put down for it even though I wrote for a local paper and I won many art competitions, even against college grad students. I use to listen to this song every day to help with my depression as a high school senior, and it was what finally gave me the courage to stand up to my dad and choose my self-worth over his twisted sense of parental love. It took me telling him I was moving out to start finding myself and then him abruptly disowning me and kicking me out in the middle of the night for me to finally be my own person. The road was long and hard and at least now I can say, I am me without holding back anymore. And while we didn't like how things started out, he has told me that he respects me for standing up for my convictions and making my own way. It took us 26 years and the loss of my step mom to cancer to get a good relationship. I wish it could've been sooner but there was a time I never believed it would even happen. Still, I wouldn't trade the last nearly 4 years for anything in the world. P.s. Shinedown was also my first concert I ever went to. It was awesome.
This song does something to me that is not easy to describe. The problem with most songs is regardless of how good or bad it is the feeling you get from it is fleeting. That isn't the case with this one. I first heard this song when I was 10 years old (8 years ago) and every time I listen to it I feel the same thing I felt those years ago. Pure, undeniable passion that can't be replicated by anything else.
I feel that same way with this song and diamond eyes and unity. It's funny that most of my favorite music is Shinedown. Thick as theives, how did you love, 45, ect. They are a great band
I remember this song playing on the radio as I leaving the town I went to highschool in and lived in with my parents. My mom was driving, my dad was sitting passenger seat, and my best friend and I sat in the back seat. My dad started crying, which is rare. He just reached back and held my hand and started to cry because I was moving out to live my life.
+James Woods yes, and I love my dad so very much. He is an incredibly understanding man. I got to see Shinedown at Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium last weekend and I almost cried when they started playing this song. I was hanging out with a guy who came to the festival with his dad and I think the song affected him too. Probably didn't help that it was Father's Day.
Tom Miller I fucking hate how people like you stereotype people like that considering our generation are some of the best entrepreneurs yet with most of us starting our own businesses and working. May be different that it used to but it's still work
I know I'm replying to something that is 2 years old now but this hit me hard. My oldest daughter is turning 21 tomorrow and she's still at home but I know it won't be long until she ventures out on her own. It's bittersweet. I want her to be happy and live her own life but at the same time I fell like I'm losing her also. I know what your dad was going through and why he cried. I did that reading your comment.
This song help me a lot, my friend she always comes to me crying saying I have a horrible life when mine is worse then hers I never bother her with mine like how she bothers me with hers... I am always criticized! I try so hard to stop it, but I can't and I just get so MAD!!! People always think just cuz I'm small I can't play a game, talk with them, play with them, I am short people think I'm a little bean! But I'm not no one care if I try going to my friend saying what happen she will say " your life is perfect" AND IT'S NOT PERFECT NO LIFE IS STINKEN PERFECT! I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND WHO ALWAYS TRY'S TO CHANGE ME AND IT WILL NOT WORK!!!!!! There's a lot more then you think going on behind a smile
Really? Pouring out your heart (allegedly) on YT makes you feel better? Just how much anonymous validation do you need in order to feel better? Apparently, you are even drunker than I am. All caps and no punctuation helps? You should make a friend somewhere, somehow.
Mark Acker Just so you know, other people have different ways of dealing with their problems. Whether it be talking to some in real life, or people online. You shouldnt put someone down because they comment something on a video, if you dont like it then close your goddamn web browser and go somewhere else. Its not your life its hers, she can do what she wants.
A little sad - but so uplifting. The parents love her but did not express it properly due to their demond and poor choices and struggles. Her choice leads to their 2nd chance with her brother, her chance at following her dreams, parents 2nd chance at dealing with their issues, with each other and their children. May anybody with personal struggles or relationship issues be healed and love themselves and each other
+RubikismMCR Thats not very true, this was a top ten hit on the billboard hot 100 in 2009, and Cut The Cord and State Of My Head have been some of the most popular songs on rock radio recently
This band has so many songs that are inspiring and this song is one of them. It the first song of theirs that I heard and I never stopped listening to this band.
If this video doesn't make you feel something, then you have no soul. It's so real, I mean everybody has to make that decision at some point in their life, do they spread their wings or chicken out? Whatever you decide, there are consequences and people you leave behind, but it's necessary and you need to grow. I felt kind of the same way when I graduated from college and moved 600 miles away from my small college town to Atlanta, GA. It was a huge cultural change, but I survived and eventually thrived. Now I'm married and facing the same thing with my own high school senior who trying to decide what she wants to do with her life. It's scary, but it's all part of the process, and I just want her to know that no matter what happens, we'll be here for her.
This is my 15 year old son's favorite band. I took him to see them 2 years ago. I would like to see them make more music and do more tours. I am a diehard Queen fan. But, I think these guys are really good. He does his parkour training to their music.
im a huge fan. this is my stepdads account but im 13 and i just love them so much. he posted a video not too long ago and their new album is coming out in summer 2015! theyll have tour dates out after that. im so excited!
This song makes me feel happy. I am bullied a lot. Every year of my school year I get bullied. But I always come and listen to this song and I feel like I'm happy.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile. Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan? Have a blessed day and stay safe..
What happen to music like this, you can feel the lyrics and just the sound up your spine, sounds weird but it's true. wish music was like this now but nah, the industry is pushing out shitty music.
This man has so many songs that I can relate to when I listen to them it seems like they're talking to me in a different open my addictions in mental health problems but every time I listen to and it gives me one more reason to keep going God bless them
This song carried me back home to Texas from a very bitter life I had made for myself in Oregon. I hated to say goodbye, but if I had stayed I would be dead. Sometimes a second chance is the only chance you 're going to be offered, you best take it.
I don't know how many times I listened to this.... I plan to leave home in less then a year. I am scared shitless. I am going to start my own life. Not some life predetermined by my family's religious beliefs.
Joey Ber I love being a christian but my family and church judge me because I'm emo. being religious dose not mean you have to go to church all the time. I'm closer to God and doing better in life than ever now and I'm not even that close to family or my church.
One of the top reasons for depression in people is parents instilling their values on their kids. They mean well but the fallout is bad. If you can break this then you will be much happier.
im a Christian and that should not be a factor for judgement, ever. your actions are what define you as a Christian, one of my fav verses is John 13:34 because it reminds me that God loves us all regardless of our backgrounds, what are interested in or we look like so we should do the same. If someone needs change to be a better person and that includes a second chance at life than I say go for it and i'll support you the whole way.
WOW! I am a 60 yr old woman who grew up on Old Country and Elvis. I heard of Shinedown from a young girl at work. I have discovered that I love this band. Some songs, I knew and loved. Now, go Shinedown, you could help heal a lot of pain that thw world gives. God bless the Angels Choir dwelling in .y head. No more MONSTERS...
This song means so much to me. My husband lost his brother in a tragic car accident. My husband always had a hard relationship with his mother especially after his brother died. He plays this song over and over again. And what's crazy is he is now an amazing stepdad to an amazing gal named Hailey (my daughter, his Hailey's comet).
Mary I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your pictures could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
Had to do this with my family. Mom was an alcoholic, dad just justified her actions and bought the alcohol. When I got the opportunity. I left. That goodbye was my second chance.
xxDespairxx 666 you do realize Shinedown still puts out music, right? Saw them live for the first time last week and MAN! I have a new found respect for them. Amazing live!
Autumn In Our Eyes band channel The sad thing is that it's being overshadowed by bad pop music, hell I used to enjoy pop music but not this new 2016 shit
4 months ago I listened to this song before the biggest move of my life. It made me cry every time. I made that move, now this song makes me smile. Sometimes goodbye IS that second chance. I'm 50 years old btw. It's never to late.
This song reminds me of all the reasons why i'm joining the air force. My parents told me it was my boyfriend's job to make the money and my job to take care of the kids that i don't have. It's 2015 i'm pretty sure women have more roles than just housewife and that we can handle the real world. I just have to prove myself. They'll never say "You can't handle it" again. I'm so happy to have found a future i actually look forward to.
Good for you (I don't mean for that to sound sarcastic or rude, I just don't know how else to phrase it), but there are better ways to prove that you are capable of doing more than having kids. You don't want to make a decision this big just to prove a point. And never forget that you can do both. My mother raised me as a housewife, but she had a PhD, and worked on cancer research before I was born. The best of luck to you!
Mandi.Mayhem158 This song goes the same for me, and why I also joined the Air Force. I got tired of my family telling me that "You will never go anywhere". Well, I did. I proved that I could do it. As the song says, 'Sometimes goodbye is a second chance', and oddly enough I heard this song the day I left for Basic Training. Goodbye was my second chance. Stay strong, my Sister in Arms! Aim High!!
i remember when i would ride in my dads truck going to a fishing spot and listening to this song... means the galaxy to me. im 14 now and my dad comes by on the weekend...
I saw this video as a kid on the channel SWRV and it stuck with me all these years. I didn't remember the song though. I finally found it after all this time. Feels good.
***** Well... it's not a drum solo, that is a drum fill coming out of the bridge into the 3rd chorus. Drum solo's are a little longer by the drummer only...about midway in a concert.
I was deep in the throes of heroin addiction, depression and suicidal ideation. Then I turned on SeaFM and heard this song. It saved my life. I've been sober ever since. Sometimes goodbye's a second chayunce.
I remember listening to this in 2009/2010 but I could never figure who sung it or the name of it ..I would hear it on the radio and I seen the video on tv and the lyrics "tell my mother tell my father" just kept replaying in my head..FINALLY Sunday, March, 20, 2016 @ 1:58pm I finally found it 😢😢 -tears of joy-
I heard this song every now & then @ Self Radio whilst playing GTA V online but thought it was 1 of the songs from the game's radios. I liked it so much & then found out it was actually from my own music list & checked/liked a lot of their (other) songs (on RUclips). Going to their concert ( @ Amsterdam ) tonight ! XD
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile. Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan? Have a blessed day and stay safe.

This video leaves me with so many questions 1. Did she do good in the audition? 2. Is the little boy her son or brother? 3. How does she not notice the lead singer everywhere she goes? 4. Why does the band look like they want to kidnap her in the bus?
One of my favorite songs along with Journeys faithfully I love singing in karaoke. I know it's only a music video with actors but man I felt so sorry for the young brother not having her sister around anymore.
Yep I accidentally typed her instead of his. But since you want to troll comments. You wrote "you REALY know english." When it's spelled REALLY not REALY. Looks like you're a dummy too. :)
34yrs old. I’m about to commit to the biggest change of my entire life. Lived at home in my parents basement. I’ve been wanting this for 15yrs. If I don’t do this now I’ll never do it.
This reminds me of my home life before I moved on my own, was treated like shit with no respect at home and was going no where. I got to the point where I was fed up and took the first opportunity I had to move away and since then I haven't looked back.
+Khadija Ajmeri i get ya my mum demands respect yet I get none and I'm not a Muslim. .. I find religion outdated and just an excuse for things..........

My son died on March 10 2018. He left us messages all week. My daughter woke up the last time we heard from him with this song stuck in her head. She said I have heard the song I know its a song but not what its about or who sings it. All she knew was tell my mother tell my father I did the best I can. I put those words into google lyrics. And I found Shinedown. He said he was halfway there, he said this is my voice but only for today. He said this was his chance for a second chance. I have been listening to it over and over and over. I just wanted you to know my son sent me his last message using your song and it was beautiful thank you
Man. I am very sorry to hear that man. You commented a while ago. But holy. I’m so sorry to hear that
I had never heard this song before now and it seemed so sad. Then I read your message and my heart broke for you. I pray you are okay.
❤️
Man I'm really sorry for u I hope you're ok 3 years later
I'm so very sorry for your loss....celebrate his life...for one day you shall meet in another life....Peace be upon your family...Love.
Wow! No words only coincidences
I blasted this song on my way back home after I left the Army, months after coming home from my deployment in 2009, and I can't believe that even now I can't hear this song without crying and thinking about everything I went through to get to where I am today.
+norbert slusher Thanks for your service, I hope the government is treating you right (I have major issues with the way the government treats Vets) & don't forget there is a time of " re-assimilating" even after deployments that don't leave you with PTSD, etc. so don't hesitate to ask for help whether you need it or not...best of luck to you!
@Norbert Slusher, THANK YOU for your service, as well as each and every man and women who's served this country!
+norbert slusher Thank you Sir for being in the Army and for putting your butt on the line for mine!
I tear-up when I hear this song because it is one of the first ways my 34 year old son who moved to heaven in 2010 came through to let me know he is still with me in spirit.
Thank you for your service sir. 🙏🏻
This song hits you right in the heart.
*ballz
This guy's got a hell of a voice.
One of the best voices ever
Brent Smith is a ROCK GOD...if you haven't seen Shinedown live, it's a must. They put on an amazing show 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Steven Ruiz but the dancer in that video is goddess...🤷🏾♂️
GOAT
You can say that again
I lost my dad little over a week ago now from being shot and this is one things i still have left from him. He always told me to look for inspiration and this is one of the songs that did it for me, love you dad and I'll always miss you.
*****
Thnks
I am so sorry for your loss sweetie. Music is the best for inspiration, these guys seem to be able to look right into your soul and knowing every single emotion you've got hiding in there. We all have the same stages of grief, yet can grieve differently on any given day. Allow yourself and be kind to yourself. You never stop missing them no matter how old you are. Mine has been gone for nearly 30 years and I still have days that it feels like yesterday.
Daniel Davis sorry about that just remember he is in peace with God and god is there watching over you
Daniel Davis Stay strong brother! I'm sure he is up there watching you and being proud of his son for finding inspiration!

Lyrics:
My eyes are open wide
And by the way,
I made it through the day
I watched the world outside
By the way,
I'm leaving out today
I just saw Halley's comet
She waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid
Of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close,
It's only for today
I just saw Halley's comet
She waved
Said, "Why you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
[Chorus]
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Here's my chance
This is my chance
Tell my mother,
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying...
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
[2x]
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Its "shooting", not "she waved"
Anyone else here remembers Hailey’s Comet? I remember the night but I couldn’t see it. I remember thinking if I’m alive in my 80’s maybe I’d get a *second chance* to see it again. Half way there...
@@kennethleathers2069 100% she waved. He even waves during the line in some live performances.
This was why I joined the Army. I was 20 with nothing good going on and my parents treating me like I was acting, like a kid. I said fuck this, quit my job at Burger King, and went to a recruiter's office. The next month I went to Basic. That was in 1997 and today I try to make my kids make their own decisions as much as I can while keeping them safe. They have to make decisions in real life when they grow up and it won't always be easy to do. I want to make them as independent as possible so that when they say goodbye, they will have the best shot at finding themselves out there and come home knowing who THEY are and what THEY want in life. That is not a decision parents can make for their kids. They must make it.
OnlineNamesAreStrange They're still trying to do their best for you. Sure, I'd like my kids to be doctors or some such thing, but will they become that? I honestly don't know. My dad wanted me to be an engineer. Math is my worst issue as far as that goes, and there was never any way I'd ever be an engineer. My dad and I fought over that for years until he gave up on it. It didn't make matters any better as he tried shoving "You will become a Sate engineer" down my throat. I want my kids to do well. Any parent who loves their kids wants this. But I want them to love what they do as well, and that requires them to find their own way.
I mean that regardless of how you FEEL about it, they love you and want you to succeed at something. Well meaning. I've nothing to say about their methods of telling you this. That's between you and them. And maybe they do need to back off. Who am I to say?
Oh, I'm not some great dad. I'm just a guy trying to do the best he can. It's not easy LOL. Believe me. Kids are difficult. They ask for something, you get it for them, then it's not good enough. They want something else. Then you're the worst man on earth when you say that little word no kids likes... "No".
My daughter just turned twelve and has SO much attitude toward everyone. I understand it's hormones. I remember my sister going through the same thing, it was a nightmare back then as much as it is now LOL. Boy I can't WAIT until she's sixteen LMAO. I don't know what I'm going to do when I tell her "No you can't stay out all night" and she takes her keys and says "Fuck you dad" and goes anyway. I'll probably do what I always do, sound like that dad from the "Croods", yelling a bunch of nonsense and not even having the ability to complete an actual word LOL. "Noyoucannotgoout!!!" LOL
Nobody's perfect. I don't know your parents. Maybe they are shitty? I honestly don't know, but a lot of good can come out of giving them a break.
I'll say this, too. One of these days you will likely be a parent as well. And you will understand much of what it is you're hating at the moment. And... You'll have your own viewpoint on it still. Some you will still find to be BS, but you'll have a new respect for your parents.
My daughter blows up every time I turn the radio on to listen to music I like, in my own truck. I get the "Oh gawd, I can't believe you're listening to this loser noise, dad". I have to laugh because you know what? I did that exact same thing to my parents LOL. "I'm gonna puke if you don't turn that garbage off mom". Hell, I did a whole lot worse to my parents than my own kids do to my wife and I. I consider myself lucky LOL.
I was terrible to my parents, but I only see that now. Back when I was a kid I only saw that I wanted to do what I wanted and my parents stood in the way of that. I didn't know that the words "No" and "You're grounded" had literally kept me out of jail, or killing myself doing something stupid.
I guess there is no point to my saying more as it's looking like a lecture or something else equally lame. I'm only speaking from my perspective. I don't consider it the right perspective or the wrong one. It's just mine. Take it as you will.
Well, I wish you good luck in your endeavors. Like I said, it's just from my perspective, and it's neither wrong or right. It's just mine. My family's culture is vastly different than my neighbor even. No two alike.
this song will never get old
So true
So wrong
The song won't get old it is epic
For the people that disliked this vid. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??????????????????????
Yeah the video must be LIKED!!!
I fist heard this song when I most felt alone and lost. And damn, I really needed to hear these words.
I needed to be reminded how much i'm worth on my own.
Second Chance made me gather immense courage to stand in front of my parents and say: "No! I don't! want to do this anymore! I want to be an animator! what's wrong with that?" and it came to them as a shock, bc they thought they knew me better than I know myself.
I've been learning to be more emotionally open ever since.
How's that career in animation coming along?
This song touches everyone who has a dream. It truly expresses deep feeling for wanting to succeed. When the odds are against you. It is inspirational to say the very least. Just stops you long enough to think about trying harder.
And leaving your parents at end lol😂 parents bout sad af
I only discovered this band last year through this song. It means so much to me. Wish there were more bands like Shinedown with music that has great meaning. Now I’m hooked and I’ll never stop listening to them.💗
All kinds of music out there with great meaning behind the words. Just a few off the top of my head:
-Porcupine Tree
-Little Simz
-Tool
-clipping.
-The Microphones (or really anything by Phil Elverum)
-Adrienne Lenker
-Kara Jackson
-Kendrick Lamar
-Black Midi
Because of this song. I overcame thr abuse my mother put me through. Because of this song. I joined the air force. Because of this song. I realized that it is my life. I choose what I wish to do. My family has no control over my world, my life. I am in control. So thank you. Thank you for teaching me, showing me. That I. Have a choice. I have a reason. I am important. I am who I am. And nothing will ever change that. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song. You allowed me to break away from a broken home and find a home where I belong. Where is have a place. This song has allowed me to see who I am. Who I will be. NY greatest wish us seeing you in person. To thank you for all you have done for me. This song kept me alive. So thank you. Really. Thank you.
I love this song because it was my moms favorite song before she passed away..................
:(
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
wow.. xD That was.. just- idek..
awwww im so sorry to hear that even though im a little late but im sorry for ur loss
I lost my mom 25 years ago. Happiness comes from within. I hope you find it.
Around here Shinedown is not underrated! Least in my book, wish they would come to Terre Haute!!
What a fuckin voice..........WOW...........blows me away....he seems to be so into every song he sings.......Love this band
You are so very right!
Shinedvown gave me the strength to heal and they have got me through the last 4yrs. I love y'all !!!!
This song saved me from suicide! These words hold a deep meaning to me in ways that I can't explain.
Right? Man, I love Shinedown, not only because they're crazy awesome, but because their music always has a deeper meaning behind that sweet hair that the singer has.
I hear you there. last year I attempted suicide if this song hadnt started playing in my living room I don't think I would still be here. music saves the soul
Courtney Madsen
it sure does.
Really glad that you are still with us...stay strong.
Trevor Dinsmore I always do. I will not my sadness win. "Will you sleep with a gun or you're gonna wake up and fight!!"
Oddly enough, I heard this song for the first time when I went off to military Basic Training for the Air Force. Kinda fits... I was so ready to get away and start my life without being held down by anything. Sometimes goodbye actually is a second chance, because I'm doing alright :)
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile.
Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan?
Have a blessed day and stay safe..
I was abused as a child & ran away from home. I sent this to my parents 5 years later. It got me through so many dark hard times. Still 1 on my playlist.
This song helped me deal with the death of my son more than anything else did, and I will always be grateful. I can now listen to it and smile rather than break down. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Shinedown.
Its utterly amazing to see how much music can effect people. It saved peoples lives and changed it. Its one of the best things in the world in my opinion.
I lost my Mother to cancer when I was 3. She was 22. At the age of 6, I began racing with little to no funds, to direct my focus onto something positive. I have raced to raise 30k for childhood cancer fighters and their families. I pray frequently. This year I was accepted into NASCAR school. I’ve made the associated press and global news, finished 3rd in points for Chevrolet, and continue with 5 career poles, 5 wins and 10 top 10’s.
Goodbye is hard. But sometimes goodbye is a second chance. Sunsets are always followed by the sunrise. I miss my Mom Samantha and continue to honor her everyday.
I love you, Shinedown. You’re an inspiration.
anyone else wish they could hear this song for the first time again?
I hold this song near and dear. Every time I hear it hits home like the first time.
I would If I was in a better spot when I first heard it lol when I first heard it I was like 14 and just moved out of my parents and was living like a feral kid lol
This reminds me of my brother, who is a marine who is in California, so much. Before he left I remember we jammed out to this song in the car. We had the volume really high up and we were singing every word. It was one of those moments that was so amazing to be in. I found this song a while back on accident and when I listened to it, I smiled and cried so much. I miss my brother a lot and this song is just one of those things that immediately makes me think of him. This song is amazing and I listen to it almost everyday now.
One of the few songs released since 2000 that are actually good.
Your opinion is wrong
scr34m1ng care to explain?
Nathaniel Levesque my explanation is that your opinion is wrong
scr34m1ng To Vague. Try Again.
Nathaniel Levesque no
Swear to god, this song always makes me cry. The Mv and the song is just so powerful.
+Emperor Kylo Ren they played this after a funeral I went to, makes me feel sad, but a great song though
No bro Alan walker faded hits the feels
True 😭
Who me?
Yes
My dad and I had alot of problems growing up. He was very controlling and abusive emotionally and verbally. I just wanted him to let me be me and love me for being me. I had a huge passion for art and writing, but i was constantly put down for it even though I wrote for a local paper and I won many art competitions, even against college grad students. I use to listen to this song every day to help with my depression as a high school senior, and it was what finally gave me the courage to stand up to my dad and choose my self-worth over his twisted sense of parental love. It took me telling him I was moving out to start finding myself and then him abruptly disowning me and kicking me out in the middle of the night for me to finally be my own person. The road was long and hard and at least now I can say, I am me without holding back anymore. And while we didn't like how things started out, he has told me that he respects me for standing up for my convictions and making my own way. It took us 26 years and the loss of my step mom to cancer to get a good relationship. I wish it could've been sooner but there was a time I never believed it would even happen. Still, I wouldn't trade the last nearly 4 years for anything in the world.
P.s. Shinedown was also my first concert I ever went to. It was awesome.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm 57 years old, and I love this band too! I'm glad you were able to connect with your dad 😊
Good for you. Live life now to the fullest
This song does something to me that is not easy to describe. The problem with most songs is regardless of how good or bad it is the feeling you get from it is fleeting. That isn't the case with this one. I first heard this song when I was 10 years old (8 years ago) and every time I listen to it I feel the same thing I felt those years ago. Pure, undeniable passion that can't be replicated by anything else.
I feel that same way with this song and diamond eyes and unity. It's funny that most of my favorite music is Shinedown. Thick as theives, how did you love, 45, ect. They are a great band
God damn, this song hits me in the feels every time
+David Holden :)
+David Holden right I just love it
Same here:)
+David Holden Allah Damn Me Too!
+David Holden Same here brah
Some songs leave memories and this song has many for me..
Amen, although I'm on my third chance....
: )
Lisa Gay Your last name is gay
Paul my maiden name.
Hahaha..☝☝
Oh, my, Brent's vocal is one of a kind. Passion & vigor I love to the 🌙 and back 🌏 Amazing emotionality, awesome spirit ♥️
I remember this song playing on the radio as I leaving the town I went to highschool in and lived in with my parents. My mom was driving, my dad was sitting passenger seat, and my best friend and I sat in the back seat. My dad started crying, which is rare. He just reached back and held my hand and started to cry because I was moving out to live my life.
Just proves he understands and loves you
+James Woods yes, and I love my dad so very much. He is an incredibly understanding man.
I got to see Shinedown at Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium last weekend and I almost cried when they started playing this song. I was hanging out with a guy who came to the festival with his dad and I think the song affected him too. Probably didn't help that it was Father's Day.
Tom Miller I fucking hate how people like you stereotype people like that considering our generation are some of the best entrepreneurs yet with most of us starting our own businesses and working. May be different that it used to but it's still work
I know I'm replying to something that is 2 years old now but this hit me hard. My oldest daughter is turning 21 tomorrow and she's still at home but I know it won't be long until she ventures out on her own. It's bittersweet. I want her to be happy and live her own life but at the same time I fell like I'm losing her also. I know what your dad was going through and why he cried. I did that reading your comment.
Covid-19 has me listening to everything I would listen to on MTV at 6am getting ready for school in the morning. Brings back memories
This song help me a lot, my friend she always comes to me crying saying I have a horrible life when mine is worse then hers I never bother her with mine like how she bothers me with hers... I am always criticized! I try so hard to stop it, but I can't and I just get so MAD!!! People always think just cuz I'm small I can't play a game, talk with them, play with them, I am short people think I'm a little bean! But I'm not no one care if I try going to my friend saying what happen she will say " your life is perfect" AND IT'S NOT PERFECT NO LIFE IS STINKEN PERFECT! I HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND WHO ALWAYS TRY'S TO CHANGE ME AND IT WILL NOT WORK!!!!!! There's a lot more then you think going on behind a smile
"even the smallest person can change the course of the world."
keep your head up!
Not to steal a Game of Throne's quote but, "Even a small man (in your case woman) can cast a big shadow"
Thanks guys
Really? Pouring out your heart (allegedly) on YT makes you feel better? Just how much anonymous validation do you need in order to feel better? Apparently, you are even drunker than I am. All caps and no punctuation helps? You should make a friend somewhere, somehow.
Mark Acker Just so you know, other people have different ways of dealing with their problems. Whether it be talking to some in real life, or people online. You shouldnt put someone down because they comment something on a video, if you dont like it then close your goddamn web browser and go somewhere else. Its not your life its hers, she can do what she wants.
A little sad - but so uplifting. The parents love her but did not express it properly due to their demond and poor choices and struggles. Her choice leads to their 2nd chance with her brother, her chance at following her dreams, parents 2nd
chance at dealing with their issues, with each other and their children. May anybody with personal struggles or relationship issues be healed and love themselves and each other
I heard this song when it was first released and I been hooked every since and I finally got to see Shinedown in concert last week
You don't understand how long it took me to realize that the song is the note she left for her mom and dad.
Planet pigs
Still think he has the greatest voice in rock history..
Mannnnnn...this song is so great. ..it is emotional as well as inspiring. This is one of the top 10 songs in my life....Thanks Shinedown.
Its sad to see that Shinedown are so underrated...
What is another good song?
45,state of my head and cut the cord, all by shinedown, those are just the ones that come to mind, but all their songs are good =p
IKR
+RubikismMCR is*
+RubikismMCR Thats not very true, this was a top ten hit on the billboard hot 100 in 2009, and Cut The Cord and State Of My Head have been some of the most popular songs on rock radio recently
This band has so many songs that are inspiring and this song is one of them. It the first song of theirs that I heard and I never stopped listening to this band.
I love this song. It helped me through a really rough time.
❤
If this video doesn't make you feel something, then you have no soul. It's so real, I mean everybody has to make that decision at some point in their life, do they spread their wings or chicken out? Whatever you decide, there are consequences and people you leave behind, but it's necessary and you need to grow. I felt kind of the same way when I graduated from college and moved 600 miles away from my small college town to Atlanta, GA. It was a huge cultural change, but I survived and eventually thrived. Now I'm married and facing the same thing with my own high school senior who trying to decide what she wants to do with her life. It's scary, but it's all part of the process, and I just want her to know that no matter what happens, we'll be here for her.
Still one of the veryyyyy best songs in rock history..We all deserve a "Second Chance" in this fucked up thing we call life..
This is my 15 year old son's favorite band. I took him to see them 2 years ago. I would like to see them make more music and do more tours. I am a diehard Queen fan. But, I think these guys are really good. He does his parkour training to their music.
im a huge fan. this is my stepdads account but im 13 and i just love them so much. he posted a video not too long ago and their new album is coming out in summer 2015! theyll have tour dates out after that. im so excited!
Joe Johnson I'll have to check out the vid. This info is great news. I may take my kid if they come through here. Thanks.
Joe Johnson Thanks for the info!! That is freaking awesome!!
I'm 15 and they're my favorite band as well! :D
It worked for me. I took that chance.
Brent Smith has an incredible voice! He pulls out emotion heart and soul! Very rare and God given. Bless you SHINEDOWN!
I love the song, the band..freaking amazing. Keep doing what you do!
Been in love with this song since I was 5 years old. Love you Shinedown my childhood and current favorite band
This song makes me feel happy. I am bullied a lot. Every year of my school year I get bullied. But I always come and listen to this song and I feel like I'm happy.
Aw don't let them get to you. You are awesome
+Lucia Qazaha thanks 😀
+Y.O.L.O Giraffe Sometimes Goodbye Is A Second Chance
+Y.O.L.O Giraffe this song is about suicide... I listen to music like this when I cut myself.. this is not happy music at all
+brocowsci well...
Good for you Good choice
I lost my dad 2006-2007🧭 thank you for sharing your music with us today and forever ❤🎛️🎧🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile.
Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan?
Have a blessed day and stay safe..
How are you?
What happen to music like this, you can feel the lyrics and just the sound up your spine, sounds weird but it's true. wish music was like this now but nah, the industry is pushing out shitty music.
You just don't know where to look
It seems like a lot music from 2000-2012 made me feel the way you described. I can't even listen to half of this new shit.
Masta_Matt OMG YES SCREW TODAYS MUSIC
***** Fuck off and leave him alone
***** Not all modern music sucks, just most of it. The popular shit that you hear on the radio.
2009 was a great year for music
2011 bro
Djdipdart That was also a great year!
And 2012
Tru
Yeah, it was..
This man has so many songs that I can relate to when I listen to them it seems like they're talking to me in a different open my addictions in mental health problems but every time I listen to and it gives me one more reason to keep going God bless them
This song carried me back home to Texas from a very bitter life I had made for myself in Oregon. I hated to say goodbye, but if I had stayed I would be dead. Sometimes a second chance is the only chance you 're going to be offered, you best take it.
That drum breakdown!!
I don't know how many times I listened to this....
I plan to leave home in less then a year. I am scared shitless. I am going to start my own life. Not some life predetermined by my family's religious beliefs.
Good job man! Sometimes goodbye is a second chance!
best of luck dude!!
Joey Ber I love being a christian but my family and church judge me because I'm emo. being religious dose not mean you have to go to church all the time. I'm closer to God and doing better in life than ever now and I'm not even that close to family or my church.
One of the top reasons for depression in people is parents instilling their values on their kids. They mean well but the fallout is bad. If you can break this then you will be much happier.
im a Christian and that should not be a factor for judgement, ever. your actions are what define you as a Christian, one of my fav verses is John 13:34 because it reminds me that God loves us all regardless of our backgrounds, what are interested in or we look like so we should do the same. If someone needs change to be a better person and that includes a second chance at life than I say go for it and i'll support you the whole way.
Still listening to this in 2016
+KARINA QUINTERO Shut up Karina
+KARINA QUINTERO i literaly just heard this song like 2 months ago
+Cheesey McCheese lol
Im always listening to this song ^^
I wish I saw this first. I saw cs188 YTP this and I can't hear anything else.
WOW! I am a 60 yr old woman who grew up on Old Country and Elvis. I heard of Shinedown from a young girl at work. I have discovered that I love this band. Some songs, I knew and loved. Now, go Shinedown, you could help heal a lot of pain that thw world gives. God bless the Angels Choir dwelling in .y head. No more MONSTERS...
This song means so much to me. My husband lost his brother in a tragic car accident. My husband always had a hard relationship with his mother especially after his brother died. He plays this song over and over again. And what's crazy is he is now an amazing stepdad to an amazing gal named Hailey (my daughter, his Hailey's comet).
Most people dont understand when their loved ones say "by the way, I made it through the day."
It's 2024 who else is hear listening to this great band.
Good song I enjoyed listening to it
I‘m listening and it‘s still great ! 2:45
Amazing vocals. Forgot how much i liked this band.❤
Mary I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your pictures could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
Had to do this with my family.
Mom was an alcoholic, dad just justified her actions and bought the alcohol.
When I got the opportunity. I left.
That goodbye was my second chance.
❤ Shinedown
I was 12 when this song was released and I'm as much in luv with it now as I was then
Shinedown is one of the most overlooked and underrated artists
JUST WENT TO THE MISSISSIPPI COAST COLLESEUM AND THE CONCERT WAS AMAZING AS FUCK
It makes me sad thinking that we'll never get music like this again, it seems like rock is dying.
xxDespairxx 666 you do realize Shinedown still puts out music, right? Saw them live for the first time last week and MAN! I have a new found respect for them. Amazing live!
Matthew Kruger we mean it's not very popular anymore it's getting less attention because of pop and rap.
xxDespairxx 666 kkkiii
xxDespairxx 666 so true
Autumn In Our Eyes band channel The sad thing is that it's being overshadowed by bad pop music, hell I used to enjoy pop music but not this new 2016 shit
This song really impacted a lot of us but for me it's actually just nice words and music and I like it. No amazing back story.
There is no better rendition than this!!! I am 64 and I love Shinedown!
4 months ago I listened to this song before the biggest move of my life. It made me cry every time. I made that move, now this song makes me smile. Sometimes goodbye IS that second chance. I'm 50 years old btw. It's never to late.
This song reminds me of all the reasons why i'm joining the air force. My parents told me it was my boyfriend's job to make the money and my job to take care of the kids that i don't have. It's 2015 i'm pretty sure women have more roles than just housewife and that we can handle the real world. I just have to prove myself. They'll never say "You can't handle it" again. I'm so happy to have found a future i actually look forward to.
Good for you (I don't mean for that to sound sarcastic or rude, I just don't know how else to phrase it), but there are better ways to prove that you are capable of doing more than having kids. You don't want to make a decision this big just to prove a point. And never forget that you can do both. My mother raised me as a housewife, but she had a PhD, and worked on cancer research before I was born. The best of luck to you!
Full respect to you there. Fight for what you believe, good on you.
Your parents are idiots. It your life, do what you want with it ;)
Mandi.Mayhem158 This song goes the same for me, and why I also joined the Air Force. I got tired of my family telling me that "You will never go anywhere". Well, I did. I proved that I could do it. As the song says, 'Sometimes goodbye is a second chance', and oddly enough I heard this song the day I left for Basic Training. Goodbye was my second chance. Stay strong, my Sister in Arms! Aim High!!
i remember when i would ride in my dads truck going to a fishing spot and listening to this song... means the galaxy to me. im 14 now and my dad comes by on the weekend...
It's been 3 years and I still hear his voice whenever the first verse of this song plays. RIP Dave
I saw this video as a kid on the channel SWRV and it stuck with me all these years. I didn't remember the song though. I finally found it after all this time. Feels good.
Frank 😅
I remember this song.....dude has a great voice!
i love this song in 2019
That drum solo at 2:51 gets me hard.
I love that drumming, I memorized it and whenever I hear it and use my fingers as drum sticks
***** Well... it's not a drum solo, that is a drum fill coming out of
the bridge into the 3rd chorus. Drum solo's are a little longer by the drummer
only...about midway in a concert.
***** me too :*(
It makes me hard.
***** God, yes. It's awesome.
I was deep in the throes of heroin addiction, depression and suicidal ideation. Then I turned on SeaFM and heard this song. It saved my life. I've been sober ever since. Sometimes goodbye's a second chayunce.
Luv this band so inspirational I will support anything they do and yes they are so miss understood they are the bomb
Re-Watching/listening to this as an adult, i now understand the true message of this song, and i love it even more now.
I remember listening to this in 2009/2010 but I could never figure who sung it or the name of it ..I would hear it on the radio and I seen the video on tv and the lyrics "tell my mother tell my father" just kept replaying in my head..FINALLY Sunday, March, 20, 2016 @ 1:58pm I finally found it 😢😢 -tears of joy-
Pretty much the same for me except I found it last year
I just can't believe it took so long thoo😧😧 😂
I found them through suggested songs and them I found out who sang this.... it was like in January of this year
I heard this song every now & then @ Self Radio whilst playing GTA V online but thought it was 1 of the songs from the game's radios. I liked it so much & then found out it was actually from my own music list & checked/liked a lot of their (other) songs (on RUclips). Going to their concert ( @ Amsterdam ) tonight ! XD
My Grandson loved this song. I listen to it and remember him.❤
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile.
Hello how are you doing.... I'm sorry for intruding into your privacy but I just want to know if you're a fan?
Have a blessed day and stay safe.
Cindy I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your pictures could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
This song is so amazing his voice captures my soul favorite song ever favorite band love all their music never stop making music Shinedown
10 years. damn.
This video leaves me with so many questions
1. Did she do good in the audition?
2. Is the little boy her son or brother?
3. How does she not notice the lead singer everywhere she goes?
4. Why does the band look like they want to kidnap her in the bus?
I don't know about 1 and 2. But as far as 3 and 4 go, with a music video like that this is a bit of an overused cliché.
I'd love to know the answer to number 2 always wondered that
TheMightyMooloo I think that's her brother, it makes more sense since you don't see her husband at all. So I'm gonna say that's her brother.
+Brandon2940 Plus most people wouldn't just leave their son with their parents like that without telling them that their leaving.
xxDespairxx 666 Exactly, so that would be her brother
This is one of the best songs in the world in the WORLD.....
im only 14 and you inspire me so much
One of my favorite songs along with Journeys faithfully I love singing in karaoke. I know it's only a music video with actors but man I felt so sorry for the young brother not having her sister around anymore.
What's going on my brother! Yeah it's the Faithfully cover from Journey :)
you realy know english. It's I felt so sorry for the young brother not having HIS sister around anymore
Yep I accidentally typed her instead of his. But since you want to troll comments. You wrote "you REALY know english." When it's spelled REALLY not REALY. Looks like you're a dummy too. :)
It looks like they're rather shit at punctuation as well.

34yrs old. I’m about to commit to the biggest change of my entire life. Lived at home in my parents basement. I’ve been wanting this for 15yrs. If I don’t do this now I’ll never do it.

Don't we all love it when awesome songs have epic stories?!
Totally, man!
Always loved them
This song helped me get out of my abusive marriage and truly find myself again.
This reminds me of my home life before I moved on my own, was treated like shit with no respect at home and was going no where. I got to the point where I was fed up and took the first opportunity I had to move away and since then I haven't looked back.
+FlufferNutters exactly what I did 2 years ago don't regret it in the least bit
I'm the same just haven't moved our yet only 16
+Khadija Ajmeri i get ya my mum demands respect yet I get none and I'm not a Muslim. .. I find religion outdated and just an excuse for things..........
+FlufferNutters Respect, man. I totally know the feeling. Hope everything's looking better for you now mate.
That is how my life is right now
First time I heard this song I fell in love with it right away. After watching this video, it now hits harder.
