It's been a long dark road But I remember when It meant the world to me It's been a long dark day And a cold black night And it still gets hard to see Cause they don't know me And they never will It's been a long dark road I still remember why It took so much out of me It's a shallow pond We're swimming in And it makes it hard to breath Cause they don't know me And they never will No they don't know why Or how it feels to live Its been a long dark road And I remember skies That weren't so a hard to see It's been a long dark day And I remember nights that made me, me Cause they don't know me And they never will And they don't know why Or how it feels to live
Wow. And here I thought Ivan Moody was just a great metal vocalist. This is amazing! Just heard about this band for the first time tonight, and I regret that fact!
I am a 43 year old male wife and two kids and I am literally crying right now over these lyrics Ivan is the most amazing singer to come down the pike and a very long time
I could imagine as he hums to his daughter when she's ready to sleep; the soothing beautiful angelic voice he has , and how her daughter slowly falls asleep to his voice .
Ivan has surprised me in so many ways. He can go from mean, and a song filled with growls, to this-a song that just gets you thinking, and listening closer.
WOW!!! So......deep.......i'm speechless. Ivan totally kicks ass on vocals wether on FFDP or GHOSTMACHINE or his now broken band MOTOGRATER. I have to get this song. So powerful, Ivan has got to be the best vocalist out there today. You ROCK IVAN!!!
Coming into 2022 this song, i've realized that the older I get the harder this hits. I've gotten rougher around the edges 12 years later and this song feels like a hug from me now to my younger self. Hope you're all well out there.
one of the most incredible pieces of music i've heard in my life. this song almost brought tears to my eyes the first time i listened. totally great. please, if you don't like it, repsect those of us who do and refrain from being blantantly hateful towards the music.
Im honestly blown away by this, i have been listening to ivan sing in 5FDP and i have seen that he is a heavenly singer through songs like far from home but this song is gorgeous and i am at a loss for words.
One of the craziest love stories I ever lived, was with a man who played this song literally so often that I HATED IT. Five years ago today....., what started as a super fun/exciting relationship that was so fucking real and raw, ultimately ended with affairs, drugs, abuse, trauma and jail....I listen to this today and I not only understand him, I forgive him.
I remember seeing Motograter live opening for 40 Below Summer & The next year, Motograter was co headling with Kittie & 40 Below Summer opening for them. Then seeing Motograter on second stage at Ozzfest, watching Nothingface & Lamb Of God play their sets; while Nuke & Ivan was standing next to me all painted up ready to go on stage next. They kept crowd surfing & getting in the pit before their set. Back, when Ivan was still singing for the band & going under the name Ghost. He had such a powerful voice back then & then this project came out in between him leaving Moto; an moving forward with FFDP. This sound somewhat carried over to the first FFDP album, but changed completely on their second album. I was so hoping FFDP was gonna sound like this or Motograter a bit, but it was far removed from both after that debut album.
i dont do this often.. and ill probably get bashed for it... but i fell in love with this song immediately... this song is me.. and i was listening to it.. and i began to lose myself and i cried for a long time... i began to this of my past, and how much my life has changed this passing year,, how ive grown...
Yet again I find myself on this video.. The first place I heard this song two years ago. I still miss her.. It's been almost a year.. And I still long for those days.
Ivan had such incredible vocals at this time. I think I still prefer Aaron Lewis as my favorite modern rock/metal singer but Ivan is still extremely good as well.
This saves me from time to time. 2024 and i still listen.
2024 about to 2025 and this song still sings my life. Thank you Ivan Moody. I know this is your old band but your voice makes this song true
One of the best songs in the world. Sung by one of the very best singers.
2020 and 10 years on from first hearing this song for the first time. How it still only has 250k views, people need to have this song in their lives.
This is the first song I learned on guitar, it kills me this is before ffdp. Who the fuck put this band to rest? Fuck that person
im so glad he decided to stay in the music industry :)
It's been a long dark road
But I remember when
It meant the world to me
It's been a long dark day
And a cold black night
And it still gets hard to see
Cause they don't know me
And they never will
It's been a long dark road
I still remember why
It took so much out of me
It's a shallow pond
We're swimming in
And it makes it hard to breath
Cause they don't know me
And they never will
No they don't know why
Or how it feels to live
Its been a long dark road
And I remember skies
That weren't so a hard to see
It's been a long dark day
And I remember nights that made me, me
Cause they don't know me
And they never will
And they don't know why
Or how it feels to live
2023 still listening from time to time
@@x-grim-x7894 Rock on bro!
Damn same
Ivan is just fucking brilliant. Outstanding voice, vicious screams and relateable lyrics. Probably my biggest inspiration without a doubt.

Same here, man
I could imagine as he hums to his daughter when she's ready to sleep; the soothing beautiful angelic voice he has , and how her daughter slowly falls asleep to his voice .
+B2stlover2000 and he then goes into 5fdp mode just as she almost falls asleep?
Oh damn . I just imagined it xD
+B2stlover2000 eeeeeeeeRRRRYYYYOOHHH YEAH FUCKIT!!!
Ivan has surprised me in so many ways. He can go from mean, and a song filled with growls, to this-a song that just gets you thinking, and listening closer.
I love Ivan's voice..
His voice sounds like an angel. I would love to be able to sing with him one day.
I found this on Spotify but then they took it down so I will be here now and again and try to learn it.
"song unavailable" bullshit! Why would they ever take it off Spotify.. thankfully we still have this
WOW!!! So......deep.......i'm speechless. Ivan totally kicks ass on vocals wether on FFDP or GHOSTMACHINE or his now broken band MOTOGRATER. I have to get this song. So powerful, Ivan has got to be the best vocalist out there today.
You ROCK IVAN!!!
It's the passion in this song that makes me love his song with FFDP "The Bleeding", perfect!
Ivan ... so many bands and so many troubles and he never quit

I've always listened to ivan but just found this and can't stop listening to it.

I cry every time I hear this song. So honest, so hard-hitting, so straight from the heart...
Im honestly blown away by this, i have been listening to ivan sing in 5FDP and i have seen that he is a heavenly singer through songs like far from home but this song is gorgeous and i am at a loss for words.
i am in love w/this song.. its absolutely amazing.. i will never forget getting to meet the man whos voice is so beautious. :)
That is so cool you got to meet him. I have heard that he is one of the greatest people you could ever meet, despite his scary stage look.
2022 still amazing. Never will stop being so
Amazing song, makes ones mind run deep in thought and yet frees a part of you at the same time,
Anyone else still listening in 2019?
Yes
Yes
always
Donovan Brents any idea why this song can’t be found on iTunes?
Paul C. I’ve got no idea. I hate that it isn’t anymore. I really enjoyed listening to them without having ads or what have you.
2022 and still listening always wanted to hear it live

keen to hear the full story
Ivan truly is one of the most underrated vocalist in music his range and versatility are second to none
Man every time I listen to this, it brings me back
Can we just consider this one of the best songs written and sang ?
I'm still jamming out to this in 24'

Ivans voice is just so perfect
I just listened to this song for the first time today and I absolutely love it! I like Ivan's voice better here than in 5FDP.
This is such a mellow band compared to anything else Ivan's done and it makes me so happy.
I absolutely adore his voice!!!
Great song, but it has been removed from Spotify :(

ivan moody is so talented he can make screams growls and melodies and one of his specialties which is harmonies
Yes still listening...💖
So glad I bought this album. It was hard to find and the cheapest one I could find was 85 bucks! There is only made 20,000 copies of it.
Listening to this all day in 2020. So much emotion in this piece
Kept its vibe also for 2021
My all-time favorite sad song.. I listen to it everyday..
Ivan just rocks. Brother man your vocals are bad ass!
Still listening to in 2024

I can’t be the only one listening in 2021 right?
The end made my spine shiver. Ivan is awesome!
Song just started and I'm in tears
December of 2021 here!
Hell yeah
this song makes me cry every time i hear it. rest in peace my best friend lucas.
This song is truly amazing. Been listening to ffdp for a while and never knew he had a side band.
Check out Motograter if you haven't already too then. That was his band before Death Punch, only during the first album though, from 2003.
GOD DAMN I HAD AN EARGASM!
Yet again I find myself on this video.. The first place I heard this song two years ago. I still miss her.. It's been almost a year.. And I still long for those days.
This hidden gem is amazing. The best before ffdp. Its amazing that you can remember this tune with a perfect restorative memory. At least i can.
Such a great song!
I’m still listening in late 2020
Swinging back in 2023.
