Jonny seems like the kind of guy you just wanna talk about life with. I love his bands music and he's a very smart person.
Those eyes are piercing my soul
Xander Fang he’s almost got cornells eyes
Every time I hear God went north I start tearing up. My thoughts are with him and his family.. Very rough
+Lee Bride I do too I think of my dad and my mom and all I have lost
+RusticCircle1964 I'm sorry to hear that... he really has a way with words to make you feel what he's feeling
"You're not weak. Your mind is strong." Thanks, Johnny!
Jonny Hawkins, you are amazing. you're very intelligent. your lyrics really speak and inspire me. this is coming from a fellow musician who looks at the things you've done and then turn around and look at my own creations, sometimes i say to myself that I can someday make it to the level you are at, other times i don't think i could ever match your talent. i also deal with depression and i fully agree with you that music is an escape from your problems and sorrow and i thank you for sharing your talent and story with the world.
376 likes and 0 dislikes that’s what I’m talkin about!!!
GypsyRock I came to say that! It’s 429 likes now and still no dislikes... and the video is 4 years old! Unprecedented.
I’m sorry to hear your story! I had stage 4 cancer and can understand her pain and yours. And I can honestly say when you and your family is going through so much having a strong mind is key.😢
he is such a well spoken wise dude
Thank you Jonny for the words very heart spoken! Whenever I need cheering up I watch some of your interviews you like always say something encouraging!
Damn Great speech
This is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!! I saw this guy and Nothing More live at the 98.9 The Bear Birthday bash concert in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in like last Sept!!!!!!!!
I live near Notre Dame and I would have *died* seeing them back then!
this is why Jonny Hawkins is my long lost brother. Thank you so so much in this video explaining how I feel not being able to outlet my feelings, my thoughts, my heart and soul but at least you know subconsciously how I feel as well. You my kind sir are a revolutionary inspiration to music as well as your band Nothing More for that matter and may God bless you brotha and to Nothing More.
your amazing Johnny...we all love you
I give a hug...i am now sad...now i need a hug
I think that the grief that comes with depression can transform how someone can see themselves relative to the world. I do think that there is absolution to try and move through the struggles of life with grace. However it is a reach for many people philosophically to "choose" to see the entire world as moving forward with grace. Introspection doesn't always mean extrospection. I think the lyrics that you guys have written as well as the music really challenges this dynamic and gives a really raw and honest repose to the deeper existential struggles in life. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that.
Thank you for sharing your story. I just got to see you and it was hosted by 99.7 The Blitz in Columbus Ohio. Such an amazing show
What he said really had an impact on me. Very well spoken. Much love for you my friend.
Love how many of these talk causes and less addiction but also addiction but it isn't fully based upon this and these really help
Dammit how do i stop crying
It sucks when you turn left and right to people you thought you could trust, begging them for help and they all just kind of turn away... or even get in your way from getting help.
I wish so bad I had a relationship with my mom like Jonny had with is... I wish my even gave half a shit... I'm sorry she passed... cancer took the wrong mom
So true Jonny the Wise Hawkins
i love you Jonny
Love this
Yeah, well it fucking sucks when you tell your Mom that you have those kind of thoughts and she just shrugs it off sometimes and says "Don't feel like that!" All my Mom does is come home, watch Hulu/Netflix or read books on her phone. It's a pain in the ass. Sometimes family is the reason I don't want to be around anymore. Only person/people I trust are my psych/nurse and my therapist.
For Christs sake Jonny you cant string a chick on for 5.5 years! LOL! I can appreciate you being genuine dude, sometimes that (being genuine) is the hardest! You're a good man!
