I am a RET Army combat veteran of 20 years. This song speaks to anyone that has a personal battle they are fighting. People will never know what it is like for you and unless they have gone through it, they will never understand. Shinedown is an amazing band starting from the first song I heard. Like other bands and songs have done for people, this particular song has gotten me through times that were rough, deadly rough. Even to this day. So I thank the band for the song and what it means to many of us. If they do read this by some small chance, Thank You in all sincerity and graciousness.
The guitar, drums & bass sound like this is a song from the 1980s. Brent Smith on lead vocals is probably the best singer I have heard since 1989. Even before the millennium! The drummer Berry Kerch, is excellent at his position. This song: "State of My Head" is kind of hard rock, with metal & a modern twist. With lyrics like "And our bones are shattered" and "We got that concrete street skin." also: "I'm breakin' down your door." I mentioned this was my favourite song from 1989 and that band was Skid Row. around 30-35 yrs ago.
This year at the end of 2022 was an awful year. We lost my 91 year old Nona, 4 days later my 94 year old Nono passed away. We lost my Mom's sister at the age of 61, two of my cousins passed away under the age of 55. I do understand that losing an immediate family member is even harder. Sorry for your loss.
Have a goal? Reach it. Have a dream? Dream it. Have a life? Live it. Keep going, you are far stronger than you ever could have imagined. I believe in you.
I had a stroke at 19 and have seizures from that. I'm disabled. To get my day started every morning I play this song as soon as i wake up..Kind of my Feel good battle song.I want to say thank you for making it.
Music make us survive many situation in our life ,I truely believe this .keep your headup ,push forward every day ,like there no tomorrow and today is all that matters.
Im 66 and these guys move this old man. I love the power these guys have. The ding about the truth in life. I had cancer 35 years ago being told i had 6 mouths to live. And id never see a grandkid , now i have 8 great grandkids. The way im leaving is when im dead thats the state of my head. Dam i just love this song. Thank You Shinedown
This song has so much hype in it, you can feel the energy it gives you soaring through your body. Makes you want to go out and WIN at something, actually accomplish something. Few songs can do that for me
JessiePVlogs through them they are helping so many folks suffering from illnesses, what a true blessing! I am praying for you Jessie, that your anxiety be BANISHED IN THE NAME OF JESUS! The LIVING WORD has SO SO MANY TIPS IN HOW TO SURVIVE anxiety / panic attacks. Face the Lion, God doesn’t want you to continue to suffer. Call out to him and he WILL heal you and take that anxiety away. I used to suffer from them also, I learned to realize that if I just hold on and start talking to God....and slow my breathing down but get busy (like start cleaning house or something physical) the anxiety will go away before you know it. Deep breathing buddy. Prayers for your healing!!!
I played Simple Man every day of my 1st pregnancy. I wanted a boy so bad. Losing him at 17 weeks & seeing them on his actual due date helped me deal with it all. I have 2 beautiful teenage girls now & see Shinedown whenever around. I still ball my eyes out for Simple Man, but it helps me honor my son.
If anyone has the chance to see Shinedown don't miss out because they're incredible live and give a great show. they're my favorite band and definitely my favorite live
I saw them live last night and I had never heard of them and they were SO AMAZING I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE WHEN THIS WAS SUNG LIVE. OMG BEST SHOW WITH GODSMACK TOO!
Shinedown did a concert in my town last month. My little brother past away on 2-21-16, we was going to go the the concert for our birthdays. The guys signed my concert ticket and I got hugs from all four of them, I had to apoloize to Brent cause I started crying when I saw him. He told me it was okay and gave me a second hug. My little brother was the one the got me hooked on these guys.
I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm really happy that they were so nice! I hope you can find comfort in listening to this group for both you and your brother.
I'm so sorry. I have a half brother and he and my dad got into a fight so now he lives about 5 states away and the only time my brother ever saw me was when I was first born. i practically lost him😞
LOVE! I needed this album after what i have been through in this padt year and a half. I almost lost my husbsnd unexpectedly while 30 weeks pregnant with our first baby. He was medflighted to Charlotte N.C. to have emergency open heart surgery after an ascending aortic dissection on 10/18/14. He proceeded to have multiple strokes and was on a vent in a coma for 19 days with a feeding tube and a tracheostomy. They pretty much told me to get his affairs in order. When he woke up he couldn't walk he could hardly hold his head up. he done almost 7 months of hard therapy and is walking! I gave birth to our daughter on December 20th of 2014 and we all came home together from the hospital on December 23rd. My 26th birthday. Shinedown has and always will be my favorite band. Their music has comforted me through some really hard times as well as some famtastic ones! Love Threat to survival! "The state of my head is to live! For my daughter and husband. Even when I feel like giving up sometimes."
Everyone's all bitching about how Shinedown sounds different, and "it's not the same". You're right, it's not the same, but there's some of us who don't give a shit. Shinedown is Shinedown. If you can't handle their new style, you weren't a true fan to begin with.
+Mitch Watts There's a difference between being a fan and a blind follower. A fan likes someone for something. When they stop doing that something, why would you still like them? Personally I don't like their new sound, it's too poppy. That doesn't mean I don't wish them success, that doesn't mean I don't like their old music anymore. That does however mean that I will not listen to their new music. I had the same feeling when My Chemical Romance released their last album. I didn't like it so I didn't listen to it. Edit: Also, if you liked their old stuff that doesn't mean you can't like their new stuff. Change isn't always bad. It just was this time, in my opinion.
Every artist evolves in there career as to the style of music they play. I personally along with Shinedown's true fans will want that change and we do, we have and we're rocking out to the Shinedown Sound of 2024. Thanks guys for putting my emotions into lyrics with the best music ❤
Word. I will also never understand why fans turn on their favorite bands because of a band's growth and letting their artistry and musicality lead them to create new sounds and feelings and also inspired by not wanting to give their fans the same old thing over and over again. Versatility is not a bad thing, especially if versatility is mastered and Shinedown has mastered it on several occasions!
Leave a whisper, us and them, sound of madness, and Amaryllis, you will hear their best on those 4 albums, just loaded with hits, many that made the radio and a lot more that didn't make the radio, but very well should have
I agree, I just found out about them 2 years ago when they released Get Up. Great music great band. I have now listened to most of their 6 albums. They've become my favorite band.🤟
Heard this song while riding my Harley and dealing with PTSD on a 8 hour trip. Now I play it at least once a week!! Definitely has helped me deal with the crap.
There will never be another rock band like Shinedown. This band has helped so many people I hope they know they've probably saved so many lives with their music. Brent and all the guys are fucking awesome.
Every one of their songs finds a way into my life! Just saw them in concert for the first time, absolutely awesome concert and a truly genuine dude. He even went out onto the lawn, in the rain, and sung to the people sitting out there!
@@ALICIAVANJACKSON2008 8 years? That is so awesome! Congratulations!! November is my belly button birth month. I am super proud of you too 🤟keep on rocking that shit!!!!!
Nope. RED SUN RISING is. At least their not like every other band, trying to get the best sounds and trying to copy everyone else with one different thing to prevent looking like a copycat. RSR has great emotion in their songs, as My Muse is my favorite song now. They have a good 90's style music, which sets them apart from every other band.
They are absolutely phenomenal live. They outperformed Five Finger Death Punch when I saw them a couple days ago. I will definitely be seeing them again on their next tour.
THIS is the song helping me get through my husband's passing. We were (I am even more so now) such big Shinedown fans. Went to their concert for our honeymoon on November 26, 2003 then saw them again on December 2, 2023 for our 20th anniversary date. That was 36 days before he passed.
Your songs inspire me to stay alive, because of your music! I love every word! And it makes me feel like I can get through the hard times I’m going through now! Thanks you Shinedown!
At my last school, everyone basically hated me for no reason, and every time the bruises they gave me faded, I'd just get more. They made me feel like nothing, but shinedown kept me going, kept me fighting through life, and I'm here now. Yes, memories still haunt me and hurt me, but I'm letting them go. I'm leaving it behind and I've started over at my new school, with new people. I actually have friends now, and I feel happier than I have for a long time. I've been there for about a year and a half, and the people there are like family to me. Thank you for letting me come this far
This song just gives me chills when I hear it, I just use it as motivation against all the bullies I’ve been dealing with, and I’ll never back down when I hear this.
+PillznarRy HAHAHA, I respect your thinking, BUT MAN you should listen to Adam Gontier and his songs and lyrics, he has new band called Saint Asonia ( officially best NEW rock band in 2015 ), and of course Three Days Grace ( officially best rock band in 2015 ) and best band ever for me :D
Since I rediscovered Shinedown I have been absolutely positively obsessed with them. I love their positivity and the message they send out keep up the great work guys
They were heavier than this but they weren't thrash metal mate, that's ridiculous. They were hard rock. And they're not alternative rock now, they're pop rock.
This is what makes Shinedown great. They aren't all noise like others are nowadays, they're pure straight down to the voice into the mic and stick to the drum kind of band.
+Andrew DeLorenzo 100% agreed! You know it's real talent when you see no real set. Just instruments and great vocals. They are a really nice group of guys to. care for their fans. Big fan in MA was a kid with disabilities. They found him, now every time they are near here - they call the kid and send a limo to pick him up to see the show stage side! EVERY TIME! Dont see that much anymore.
+Tam Lee You know a band really cares about their fans and their community when they do something like that! I've been a huge fan of them for so many years, back in 2008 my friend would always play the Sound of Madness album everyday we hungout and I didn't know who Shinedown was at first but I loved them after hearing the album seemingly hundreds of times. Since then I've gotten hooked on all of Shinedowns music and covers. Hopefully I'm lucky enough to meet Brent, Zach, Barry an Eric someday, that truly would be a dream come true.
I fell in love with Shinedown from the very first album!! I was fortunate enough to see them with 5FDP and one of the greatest shows I have ever seen!! Keep kicking ass Shinedown you guy's are fucking amazing!! Plus like I have commented on other Shinedown videos your music helped get me through some of the most dire and horrible times of my life from being homeless, drug and alcohol addicted, suicidal, my depression and PTSD.....this is real, honest and life changing/saving music!!! Thank you Shinedown!!
Great songwriters, great performers, serious musicians, and great lyrics: "We've been shot up, beat up by the fallin' of the arrows (arrows, arrows, arrows) Yeah, I'm full of deep cuts right down to the marrow But there's no doubt we'll get out from the bottom of the barrel." It says how so many of us out there feel.
Ptsd from self defense and childhood abuse I hate my life sometimes and others I don’t think i deserve to be loved but I take solace in the fact not much more can get worse. This song is dope it’s a fight song for sure
This song came out much after I endured the childhood I did. One of the few songs that constantly remind me of what I've conquered and overcame. And that if I could make it through those things, I can make it through anything. Love hearing that these 4 amazing men are inspiration to so many others. 💜
@Shinedown if you read this by some lucky chance for me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life on more than one occasion. Since I’ve joined the military, life’s been beating me down. But this song picks me back up. This song along with diamond eyes and what a shame.
I am a U.S. ARMY Vet, keep your head up. Life isn't easy, military life especially. Trust me, one day you will look back at your time in the service as one of the best experiences in your life. Be proud of your service and keep your head up.
If you ever need to talk I'm here for you brother. They have helped me out in the bad times as well. Those who shared my oath are my family and I'm always here for my family.
I have to say this.. I know a lot of people have their own opinions, but to say they strayed away from Shinedown music is insane. They said that they would change the music up on this album and they did. And it ROCKS. I love every song on this album. Sound of Madness will probably always be my favorite, but this is my second favorite album now. I will continue to love and support them and this album. Amazing job as always guys! Love ya'll so much! 😊 PS: loved that Jake was in the beginning of the video! He's AWESOME. 👍
As someone who has struggled with OCD and depression this song definitely hits right where it feels. The quality of the music video is amazing as well could tell they put a lot of time and effort into putting this out there for us to see. Rock on!
My boyfriend loved Shinedown, but since I took him to a Shinedown concert he has never and will never be the same. He will rock out in the middle of the kitchen when Shinedown comes on.
I’m just filled with love for you and all of my fellow listeners. Shine down has been a theme to years of my life. From workouts to working long hours, to being miserable and being high, feeling joy. Tours Gratitude SHINEDOWN
I struggle with depression and this song motivates me to get out of bed and get ready for school. But when I come home I break. And it just sucks. So thank you shinedown for motivating me.
The fucking chorus... “They don’t know where we’ve been, we got that CONCRETE-STREET SKIN!” Makes me feel like I can walk through walls. One of their best songs, no doubt.
Teodus Filus they are on tour together. them and Sixx:A. M. And As Lions. I just saw all of them at the Tacoma done in Washington and all for bands killed it
Nick Kamp yep saw all 4 of them on Halloween. personally I thought Shinedown was the main event but FFDP was technically the main event I just liked Shinedown's performance so much more. But then again I like their music more too haha
❤Thanks to shinedown for saving my life love them one hell of a band rock on boys. With you in the world there would be music that makes the world go around ❤Amazing band and voice ❤
you must be Crazy because I have yet to find even one song of theirs that isn't top knotch!They are without a doubt the tightest and most original band I have ever heard.And I've heard ALOT of bands!In my younger years I had a concert stub book that had over 300 stubs from concerts I've seen.Too bad for you,seems all your taste is in your mouth....
Im a huge Shinedown fan... but; sadly... dont you think this is a very repetitive lyric? As in, it feels like it is made to appeal to the radio masses...
+Tony Sherwin you may be right but, please, admit it, its lyrics stay in your head also because they're simply awesome... that's the state of my head 😀
SHINEDOWN!! Hey guys! I am soooo excited that you will be playing in Kearney Nebraska in June!! I just wanted to give you a heads up that State of My Head should be played and dedicated to the Huskers!! If you know anything about Nebraska is that we bleed red...Husker Red that is!! Our humble Kearney venue will erupt louder than any stadium you have ever played in if you do this!! Thanks for stopping in Kearney!! We can't wait for this concert!!!
I've been listening to this band for many many years and I have seen them in concert soo many times as well. And I have to say I STILL CANT GET ENOUGH OF THEM!!! I LOVE BRENT! HE is awesome. Just a wonderful singer and all around gentlemen. I saw them for the 1st time probably 17yrs ago when I had Back Stage passes to see my boys Godsmack (seriously know them) lol and they were the opening band. I had never heard of them before. Then they were warming up before the show and did Simple Man! That was it! I was hooked!! I fell in love with them right then and there! And now they are my favorite over Godsmack! Shhhh! Don't tell Sully I said that! lol
It's me "It's about surviving, it's about the fact that the sun's not always out every day, it's about the fact that you're gonna have days that you don't want to happen, that are out of your control. You're gonna have bad days, and it's about how to overcome those." Brent
I had suffered years of trauma and abuse the need to get back up and try again and learn to stand up for myself after all this time has been a long and bumpy road. Thank you for the strength.

I know I'm late but as a Marine Vet I completely understand where you're coming from. The battles are hard, but I'll be dammed if I just give up!!!
I played this song every day especially when on my way to chemo or radiation. This is my battle song. Thanks guys for helping me through treatment.
I'm happy you made it through
Don't give up the fight
Hope you stay strong 💪❤️
This deserves a ton of likes.
Good luck!
2022 has tried to kill me several times so far and spectacularly failed. This song, along with many of your others, have kept me going. Thank you.

Thats awesome, and I may or may not have teared up a little reading that.

I'm 62 and I listen to these guys all the time. I love his voice.
This song has so much hype in it, you can feel the energy it gives you soaring through your body. Makes you want to go out and WIN at something, actually accomplish something. Few songs can do that for me
Right on
Driving to work to this song gets me pumped
The Irish Reject this is a great song to listen to while running!!
It’s part of my workout playlist ❤️
Yes the song is encouraging
Another one of a kind band in my opinion , forever Shinedown

I'm thinking about going to one of their concerts in a few months
I love this song because it’s about coming back from a stagnant place and rocking it out! Shinedown is my go to
Andrew Hooven just saw them at download they stole the show imo, much better performance than Manson and ozzy couldn’t believe it
I saw them live last night and I had never heard of them and they were SO AMAZING I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE WHEN THIS WAS SUNG LIVE. OMG BEST SHOW WITH GODSMACK TOO!
Same. They are my favorite Band and my favorite live aswell.
Shinedown did a concert in my town last month. My little brother past away on 2-21-16, we was going to go the the concert for our birthdays.

Nope. RED SUN RISING is. At least their not like every other band, trying to get the best sounds and trying to copy everyone else with one different thing to prevent looking like a copycat. RSR has great emotion in their songs, as My Muse is my favorite song now. They have a good 90's style music, which sets them apart from every other band.
I'm obsessed with this band, they are all so talented. Brent's voice is amazing!!!!!
Me too! They have been the only band I have been listening to lately. Hands down, my favorite band ever.
I agree! :)
Same I have loved them since 45 came out. Brent is so hot!
This song is so FREAKING awesome, I really want to see them live!!
ya
Their amazing live!
THEY'RE
They are absolutely phenomenal live. They outperformed Five Finger Death Punch when I saw them a couple days ago. I will definitely be seeing them again on their next tour.
i was there five finger death punch was very unimpressive i though it was funny when they called out shinedowns pyrotechnics
I never get tired of this song! ❤️

THIS is the song helping me get through my husband's passing. We were (I am even more so now) such big Shinedown fans. Went to their concert for our honeymoon on November 26, 2003 then saw them again on December 2, 2023 for our 20th anniversary date. That was 36 days before he passed.
Your songs inspire me to stay alive, because of your music! I love every word! And it makes me feel like I can get through the hard times I’m going through now! Thanks you Shinedown!
I will listen to this song till I am daed
LIVE ON MY MAN WITH THAT CONCRETE THICK SKIN!!!
At my last school, everyone basically hated me for no reason, and every time the bruises they gave me faded, I'd just get more. They made me feel like nothing, but shinedown kept me going, kept me fighting through life, and I'm here now. Yes, memories still haunt me and hurt me, but I'm letting them go. I'm leaving it behind and I've started over at my new school, with new people. I actually have friends now, and I feel happier than I have for a long time. I've been there for about a year and a half, and the people there are like family to me. Thank you for letting me come this far
I am glad you are finding happiness. Keep pushing my friend. There are good people in the world!
@@shagshag377 aww thanks
@Brandon Logue I'm actually a girl, but thanks 😁😁♥♥I will
This song just gives me chills when I hear it, I just use it as motivation against all the bullies I’ve been dealing with, and I’ll never back down when I hear this.
I love shinedown shinedown has always been one of my favorites
No other band (present or past) can give *half* the emotion Shinedown can in just *one* song.
Dead honest, RED SUN RISING might be my new favorite band. They actually top the emotion Shinedown gave in their songs
+GoAnimateKing WAN WAME (Since 2K12) Thanks for the tip! I really like them.
Not trying to change your opinion
+PillznarRy HAHAHA, I respect your thinking, BUT MAN you should listen to Adam Gontier and his songs and lyrics, he has new band called Saint Asonia ( officially best NEW rock band in 2015 ), and of course Three Days Grace ( officially best rock band in 2015 ) and best band ever for me :D
+milan miki Thanks you guys for recommending these two bands. Never heard of them b4 but really like what I'm hearing now.
Only way I'm leaving is dead....best line ever
fr
One of the greatest bands in this decade can't get enough of their music !!!
You guys never disappoint.
Shinedown is just one of the bands of all time. The Text is written and the Songs are getting sung
I love ur music, u guys have saved my life (literally).! Thank you.! ull always be my # 1
SAME!
+Karlee Jenkins I want to meet you
Betty Buford They've done the same for me also. Big Shinedown fan but 2 songs give me reason to face the days.
Betty Buford 45 saved mine
Since I rediscovered Shinedown I have been absolutely positively obsessed with them. I love their positivity and the message they send out keep up the great work guys
They mixed into my Pandora over the Summer and I was hooked. SO good and their songs portray amazing messages.
this song is still so underrated and it makes me so incredibly mad. this song is definitely one of their best.
This song literally saved my life... its my battle song..
I miss old Shinedown....
+Clementine Tholomew you mean the thrash metal. This is what alternative rock sounds like. They also don't wanna make the same album twice.
When has shinedown ever been thrash metal...?
+Matt C After reading your comment i'm convinced the M on your pic stands for muppet.
Jez Man you're telling me that Shinedown wasn't heavy in the old days?
They were heavier than this but they weren't thrash metal mate, that's ridiculous. They were hard rock. And they're not alternative rock now, they're pop rock.
I'm 61 and I love Shinedown. I listen to them everyday. They keep me sane!!! Thank you Brent Smith and Shinedown!!!!
Awwwww 🥰 your comment so heart warming and touching. Nice reading your comment, how are you doing..
These guys are truly amazing live. I love their simple sets without flash and BS. Just great music and great talent.
This is what makes Shinedown great. They aren't all noise like others are nowadays, they're pure straight down to the voice into the mic and stick to the drum kind of band.
+Andrew DeLorenzo 100% agreed! You know it's real talent when you see no real set. Just instruments and great vocals. They are a really nice group of guys to. care for their fans. Big fan in MA was a kid with disabilities. They found him, now every time they are near here - they call the kid and send a limo to pick him up to see the show stage side! EVERY TIME! Dont see that much anymore.
+Tam Lee You know a band really cares about their fans and their community when they do something like that! I've been a huge fan of them for so many years, back in 2008 my friend would always play the Sound of Madness album everyday we hungout and I didn't know who Shinedown was at first but I loved them after hearing the album seemingly hundreds of times. Since then I've gotten hooked on all of Shinedowns music and covers. Hopefully I'm lucky enough to meet Brent, Zach, Barry an Eric someday, that truly would be a dream come true.
+Tam Lee I hope your dream comes true! Nothing like meeting an artist you love.
Saw them for my first gig in January! Halestorm, Shinedown, Black Stone Cherry. Carnival of Madness was a great tour!
My favorite band. I love Shinedown so much. I want to see them live. I need a hug from all of them
the lead singer is so so sexy lol but I've loved shinedown since I was a toddler !!!!
Amber Smith Brent Smith is So Sexy! I've seen Shinedown twice. I want to Hug all of them too.
Same man. Brents vocals are just as good live. A quality a lot of artists don't have today
They are amazing live LOVE THEM!
Amber Smith one of the best bands live. If you have the chance don't miss out because they're amazing
OH MY GOD. This takes my breath away.....BAD ASS!!! New morning adrenaline rush. Thank you 🤗🤗🤗
I fell in love with Shinedown from the very first album!! I was fortunate enough to see them with 5FDP and one of the greatest shows I have ever seen!! Keep kicking ass Shinedown you guy's are fucking amazing!! Plus like I have commented on other Shinedown videos your music helped get me through some of the most dire and horrible times of my life from being homeless, drug and alcohol addicted, suicidal, my depression and PTSD.....this is real, honest and life changing/saving music!!! Thank you Shinedown!!
I forget how much I love these guys until one of their songs comes on and I feel like they're singing about my life!! 🖤
Saw Shinedown in concert for the first time on May 29, 2019. Best Concert ever!
Great songwriters, great performers, serious musicians, and great lyrics: "We've been shot up, beat up by the fallin' of the arrows (arrows, arrows, arrows)
Yeah, I'm full of deep cuts right down to the marrow
But there's no doubt we'll get out from the bottom of the barrel."
It says how so many of us out there feel.
This band never disappoints I love every song
Thank you Shinedown.. I'm still here because of your music.
Live on!!!!❤
Ptsd from self defense and childhood abuse I hate my life sometimes and others I don’t think i deserve to be loved but I take solace in the fact not much more can get worse. This song is dope it’s a fight song for sure
This song came out much after I endured the childhood I did. One of the few songs that constantly remind me of what I've conquered and overcame. And that if I could make it through those things, I can make it through anything. Love hearing that these 4 amazing men are inspiration to so many others. 💜
Its 2020 buts still listenin to it. 😄
Yep and you get another reminder to listen again
Same
Shinedown has put out good tunes since 05. Been listening for 15 yrs. Keep rockin .
Amen bro 😎🤘
J. Klepacki I wasn’t born until 2006 but these songs keep me rocking too.
This is my battle song--and I'm sure I'm not alone. Thanks, Shinedown!
Shinedown always gets me so pumped up! Brent Smith has an awesome voice.
@Shinedown if you read this by some lucky chance for me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving my life on more than one occasion. Since I’ve joined the military, life’s been beating me down. But this song picks me back up. This song along with diamond eyes and what a shame.
I am a U.S. ARMY Vet, keep your head up. Life isn't easy, military life especially. Trust me, one day you will look back at your time in the service as one of the best experiences in your life. Be proud of your service and keep your head up.
Thank you for you service
@@ittybitty2112 couldnt have said it better myself.
Thank u for ur service
If you ever need to talk I'm here for you brother. They have helped me out in the bad times as well. Those who shared my oath are my family and I'm always here for my family.
I have to say this.. I know a lot of people have their own opinions, but to say they strayed away from Shinedown music is insane. They said that they would change the music up on this album and they did. And it ROCKS. I love every song on this album. Sound of Madness will probably always be my favorite, but this is my second favorite album now. I will continue to love and support them and this album. Amazing job as always guys! Love ya'll so much! 😊 PS: loved that Jake was in the beginning of the video! He's AWESOME. 👍
As someone who has struggled with OCD and depression this song definitely hits right where it feels.
The quality of the music video is amazing as well could tell they put a lot of time and effort into putting this out there for us to see.
Rock on!
There has never been, nor will there ever be a band that can make me feel and reach me quite like Brent Smith and the band Shinedown can❤
My boyfriend loved Shinedown, but since I took him to a Shinedown concert he has never and will never be the same. He will rock out in the middle of the kitchen when Shinedown comes on.
I grew up on this shit I love Shinedown so much
I'd love to feel you🙄😐😒 sorry misread
Brent Smith is amazing
I know I've been listening to them for years I've been through ups and downs with them I've hit the bottle so much and became sober
One of the best concerts I have seen of the hundreds I have been to over the years. I can't wait to see them again.
One of their best songs. I've heard it probably a million times already) and I'm still not bored with it. Shinedown rocks!
I have also heard him million times. I love it
How could you ever get bored?
Brent's lyrics calm my soul.. ❤
I’m seriously addicted to Shinedown.
YOU BOYS TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT LIFE. LOVE, Love, LOVE YOU GUYS.....LOVE YOUR SONS NAME...PERFECT CHOICE
There's only one way to listen to Shinedown is loud loud loud. I love it max and you
Still me band
This band and this video is a legend ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm 59 and Shinedown is my new favorite band! Next to Def Leppard of course
Damn. Better enjoy them now, before the dementia sets in next year old timer.
I'm 57 and I love them. I was lucky to get to see them last Summer and I will be seeing them again!!!
Shinedown is for people of all ages. I’m 17 and I enjoy them more than anything
Right on sister.
I'm 55 and LOVE this band!!
This band raises the soul....I was paralyzed from a rock climbing accident For 10 months.Now I'm back in the metal on the drums,Rock On brothers.
This is my favorite song. I woke up disappointed and upset and I just listened to this song while writing and it just made my day.
We didn't die cause we never were born, we weren't born cause we never got the chance to rise, from the ashes of one, comes many.
The voice in Shinedown is awesome I could listen to the all day
Just saw them Sunday night and they killed it. Brent ran through the crowd then the entire band played the last song in the crowd.
That’s the state of my head…, oh yes. Battle whatever is in our path ❤️
Yeah!
I’m just filled with love for you and all of my fellow listeners. Shine down has been a theme to years of my life. From workouts to working long hours, to being miserable and being high, feeling joy. Tours Gratitude SHINEDOWN
I struggle with depression and this song motivates me to get out of bed and get ready for school. But when I come home I break. And it just sucks. So thank you shinedown for motivating me.
Awwwww 🥰 your comment so heart warming and touching. Nice reading your comment, how are you doing..
The fucking chorus...
“They don’t know where we’ve been, we got that CONCRETE-STREET SKIN!”
Makes me feel like I can walk through walls. One of their best songs, no doubt.
This song to me means I will fight and it is go time
This song makes me feel like I could take every religious being at once.
AND WIN!
Get out there and do what you do,You don't disappoint! That's for sure,love Shinedown!!
Keep pushing. Never back down
Shinedown's songs can truly touch one's soul, best band ever!!!!!
I just got back from a shinedown and 5 finger death punch and they both had amazing performance
deadly zombie I am often seeing Shinedown and 5FDP mentioned together, are they connected somehow? I love both bands and I'm just wondering.
Teodus Filus they are on tour together. them and Sixx:A. M. And As Lions. I just saw all of them at the Tacoma done in Washington and all for bands killed it
I was at the Tacoma show as well. Shinedown always puts on a good show. This is probably in my opinion their best album yet.
you are so freaking lucky!
Nick Kamp yep saw all 4 of them on Halloween. personally I thought Shinedown was the main event but FFDP was technically the main event I just liked Shinedown's performance so much more. But then again I like their music more too haha
Just saw these amazing dudes at Sweden Rock Festival, the most amazing performance I've ever seen in my 10 years there.
Never seen them there, but in my town and they were definitely by far the best I have ever seen as well!
I cant stop listening to this whole album. I fucking love this shit! Got the CD too! Great Album.
Great fricking song. Pumps me up everytime.
❤Thanks to shinedown for saving my life love them one hell of a band rock on boys. With you in the world there would be music that makes the world go around ❤Amazing band and voice ❤
I haven't really liked a Shinedown song in years but I'm loving this one. Good job guys.
you must be Crazy because I have yet to find even one song of theirs that isn't top knotch!They are without a doubt the tightest and most original band I have ever heard.And I've heard ALOT of bands!In my younger years I had a concert stub book that had over 300 stubs from concerts I've seen.Too bad for you,seems all your taste is in your mouth....
Tami Munsee Really? You're going to talk to me like that because we have different opinions? How about if you shut the fuck up and sit down.
moonlitenmagic Preach it.
best damn band out there! love you guys!!!!!
Powerful , gets the point, it’s how I feel about my career and life
this song is amazing
Im a huge Shinedown fan... but; sadly... dont you think this is a very repetitive lyric?
As in, it feels like it is made to appeal to the radio masses...
Tony Sherwin um what? sorry i dont quite understand what you just said
+Tony Sherwin you may be right but, please, admit it, its lyrics stay in your head also because they're simply awesome... that's the state of my head 😀
I don't always listen to Shinedown, but when i do... so does the rest of the neighborhood.
Dillon Trageser HAHA
Dillon Trageser omg same
Savage

lmao lucky neighborhood 😂
SHINEDOWN!! Hey guys! I am soooo excited that you will be playing in Kearney Nebraska in June!! I just wanted to give you a heads up that State of My Head should be played and dedicated to the Huskers!! If you know anything about Nebraska is that we bleed red...Husker Red that is!! Our humble Kearney venue will erupt louder than any stadium you have ever played in if you do this!! Thanks for stopping in Kearney!! We can't wait for this concert!!!
I've been listening to this band for many many years and I have seen them in concert soo many times as well. And I have to say I STILL CANT GET ENOUGH OF THEM!!! I LOVE BRENT! HE is awesome. Just a wonderful singer and all around gentlemen. I saw them for the 1st time probably 17yrs ago when I had Back Stage passes to see my boys Godsmack (seriously know them) lol and they were the opening band. I had never heard of them before. Then they were warming up before the show and did Simple Man! That was it! I was hooked!! I fell in love with them right then and there! And now they are my favorite over Godsmack! Shhhh! Don't tell Sully I said that! lol
I agree
It's me
"It's about surviving, it's about the fact that the sun's not always out every day, it's about the fact that you're gonna have days that you don't want to happen, that are out of your control. You're gonna have bad days, and it's about how to overcome those."
Brent
love it!
It is so true !
Character building days.
I love their music!!! But even more is my love for there messages. They really care about people!💗
Idc what anyone says Shinedown has the most uplifting and inspirational songs I've ever heard and Zach myer is an amazing writer.
I swear they have a song for every mood your in. I love them
Been 8 years and I'm still rounding em up 💪
55 yrs on this earth and I agree...Shinedown ROCKS!!
I had suffered years of trauma and abuse the need to get back up and try again and learn to stand up for myself after all this time has been a long and bumpy road. Thank you for the strength.
