I was 22 when "the alternative" came out in 2006 and of course it affected my post teenage era hugely. Refound Chris just yesterday discovering Alive in a new light, and it blew me again, at 34! What an amazing Artist!
This is probably the most perfect description of depression/anxiety/insomnia I’ve heard in a long time. The self destructive behavior that you know is self destructive but you do it anyway to still the thoughts in your head. I just discovered this artist, and I can’t stop listening.
-Lyrics- The day is incomplete The thoughts of total defeat I don't know what is happening to me Or if I'll die, 'cause I just never sleep You walked into my night You could see the madness in my eyes I've lost control, please save me from myself I've lost control, please save me from myself My conscience begs for time 'Cause you can't fight the clock Ticking inside I'm just a bigger baby me Acting smart, oh what irony Where will I end up, tonight? Getting fucked or frying my mind I've lost control, please save me from myself I've lost control, please save me from myself Calm me down with your caress I'll get off while I watch you undress Maybe the sex will help me to forget A precious, transient schizophrenic bliss Oh, my god, you're beautiful Why do you stay with this neurotic fool? I've lost control, please save me from myself
I love the way he says caress. He does that sometimes, where he rolls his r's and it is a beautiful thing to listen to. I'm excited for what else he has in store, truly such an underrated artist, love his music.
finally found this song, it took me a few horror songs full of screaming angry emos to finally find this. apparently typing " I've lost control please save me from myself " won't get you anywhere
Most of his songs speak to me in ways I'd rather not express. This song in particular sounds exactly like everything that runs through my head every single night.
how to get away with murder is the only show that i always look up their music! at the end of every episode i search for that episodes music of that night! whoever picks their music is the best!!! ❤❤
@@BlissAnimations (S)He had a dream, in which dreamed some lyrics. Then, once awakened, (s)he typed those dreamed words in Google, and found this song.
Haven't been sleeping for days, I am on anxiety attacks and almost about to lose my cognitive skills, thinking that I am gonna die and won't resist. So, this song hits me so hard.
God bless you my friend, that right there you talking about happened to me 5 months ago , my only relieve was God, talk to him . Ask away, he has always been here for us . It's never late, it works. I can assure you from my experience, it just makes everything better and makes you feel so special like you are ! We are all special !
I cant believe i found you Chris, the words in this beautiful song are beyond amazing. i understand the feelings and emotions and i want to thank you..nobody knows how i have ever felt but you know...every song is out of this world..xx
OH YES! This song was such a stand alone track when hearing this album for the first time. It made me completely break down and sob since it is my thoughts put out into a physical form. As someone who suffers from anxiety and insomnia, it is what I needed for so long. Thank you for this song but also album, Chris
This song evokes the strongest emotions of despair, passion, joy, love, power, and every emotion in between for me. Thanks for showing this song to me years ago Ricky. ❤
Who's listening to this beautiful song forever? Even in 2017? Its been a while since I've heard this song, this song is extremely relatable. So perfect.
HOLY SMOKES! Thank God for Shazam and How To Get Away With Murder - amazingly perfect song for the sequence - that show rocks the hell out of drama and this song only intensified it...had to rewind/rewatch more than once.
This song fits the show so well I had to look up what it was. The final 2 episodes of season 2 absolutely blew me away with how amazing an actress Viola Davis is. If you didn't sob uncontrollably during either the hospital scene after her accident or the scene with her mother in the back yard then damn you're cold. Annalise is
I love HTGAWM as much the next person, but I kinda feel like in the comments it's overshadowing what was a really emotional song for Chris to write. I only started watching the show because I heard Photek put a lot of IAMX songs into it. But this album came from a really deep and personal place, it just seems kinda vapid to fixate on a show that the song featured in instead of giving props to the artist. But maybe that's just me...
Georgia X thats not only you.. this song is Chris' catharsis, this song is Chris coming back from a nightmare, is just so unfair it is only known as "the song from the show"
Look at it this way. Does it really matter how we got here? People who might not otherwise have heard this beautiful song, now know about it....in the end that's all that matters.
This is why I always feel bad for artists whose music gets used in something super popular. This meant more to him than just a plotline in a TV show, and it's too bad people don't appreciate it for that. I get that it's just a great song that people want to consume like every other form of media, but it's still a shame.
That voice. Those lyrics that pierce the soul with truth. Haunting memories of nostalgia. Thank you for helping me to navigate through the darkness with this piece.
It feels like he's telling my story ..really such an under-rated artist...the reason is people don't wanna accept they really are going through something like this ,maybe they are afraid that they might find this song relatable...damn I need sleep !
I see alot of comments about people complaining that the television show that brought them here is overshadowing the artist and what not. My thoughts.... if the person never would never have watched the show they might not have been introduced to such an amazing artist. Why cant we celebrate *two* great masterpieces????
Chris corner has been around for a long time. I've been a fan of his since sneaker pimps. HTGAWM seems to be the IAMX holing ground and it's seems to be the hipster/millennial thing to do by saying this show or this film or that thing brought you here. Sheep mentality!
HTGAWM GOT ME HERE. Loved latest episode. My fav serie.... I consider myself as metalhead, but this son is really amazing and couldn't be more appropriate for the end of this episode.
Found this song from how to get away with murder. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve fought my urge to do drugs while crying to this song and screaming into the void to take the urge away from me so I don’t end up living these lyrics.
omg me too, love that show. know that you are not alone, hang in there love ❤️ whatever you're going through you can rise above it all because you are so much stronger than you think 💕
This is one of those songs that stuns you. Usually I hate slow ballad type songs like this because a lot of times people are so flat with them but this one just delivers something special.
I have been a fan of IAMX before high school. My sophomore year we had to choose a band/artist to talk about, and I chose IAMX. I ended up getting my class into IAMX and it soon spread throughout my school. I quit listening to the music since I kind of lost interest, and I’m now getting back into it. I’m 19 now and I never quit loving IAMX

my husband died by suicide last week. he was bipolar. I have done nothing but listen to IAMX as so many songs had meaning for us. this is one of them x
I love this artist for way over a decade. I must also watch the stuff which brought most of you here. They have a good taste, it might a good watching.
This song always reminds me of my childhood bestfriend saving me from my neurotic abusive boyfriend. I liked my bestfriend forever but i repressed it cause I didn't think he felt the same way until he was fed up with how I was treated and helped me.
Came here because this song touched a deep part of my psyche when it was played in that htgawm episode. The look on Annalise's face as she found out such a horrifying truth, the only truth that has been hidden from her brilliant mind. Now this song is crawling deeper into the most profound part of my Id iceberg as I find my own description in these twisted lyrics.
I love his voice, especially when he says "Oh my god, you're beautiful." It gives me the chills..
RevolutionRobbie same 😢
Oh my God me too!! I repeated that part soo many timeless 😩♥️
and i thought i was the only one! that feeling is amazin when he sings this one!
When?
@@TestTest-dt3qs 2:41 It's amazing
I believe Iamx is really underrated. I found him not too long ago on Spotify and can’t believe How much I’ve been missing out for over a decade.
Samee :((
I found the watching a series on Netflix 🥲🤣
Lol i found it from watching how to get away with murder
Agree...
I was 22 when "the alternative" came out in 2006 and of course it affected my post teenage era hugely. Refound Chris just yesterday discovering Alive in a new light, and it blew me again, at 34!
What an amazing Artist!
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD.
I agree
Same ...
Same ❤️
"why do stay with this neurotic fool?"... it's called love. beautiful song. fits me so well
🌹❤️
This is probably the most perfect description of depression/anxiety/insomnia I’ve heard in a long time. The self destructive behavior that you know is self destructive but you do it anyway to still the thoughts in your head. I just discovered this artist, and I can’t stop listening.
His songs always manage to dive into the depths of my psyche, his words bringing out so many emotions...
-Lyrics-
The day is incomplete
The thoughts of total defeat
I don't know what is happening to me
Or if I'll die, 'cause I just never sleep
You walked into my night
You could see the madness in my eyes
I've lost control, please save me from myself
I've lost control, please save me from myself
My conscience begs for time
'Cause you can't fight the clock
Ticking inside
I'm just a bigger baby me
Acting smart, oh what irony
Where will I end up, tonight?
Getting fucked or frying my mind
I've lost control, please save me from myself
I've lost control, please save me from myself
Calm me down with your caress
I'll get off while I watch you undress
Maybe the sex will help me to forget
A precious, transient schizophrenic bliss
Oh, my god, you're beautiful
Why do you stay with this neurotic fool?
I've lost control, please save me from myself
meri-mg i thought he said ''getting fucked in front of my mom''...lol
meriiiyg *walked
@meriiiyg Thank you!
this ain't your ordinary beautiful. this is holy fucking shit fuck beautiful.
I love the way he says caress. He does that sometimes, where he rolls his r's and it is a beautiful thing to listen to.

I just use shazam lol. It really helps.
+MsGloria1D holy shit I completely forgot about Shazam lol
really? I found this by typing that exact same thing you typed
actually I wrote that exact same phrase and the first result was this song :/
somebody13324 you should start using the website "TuneFind" (:
This song is so powerful and beautiful. You can hear so much emotion in his voice. Just amazing.
I keep coming back to this song every other day :)
Most of his songs speak to me in ways I'd rather not express. This song in particular sounds exactly like everything that runs through my head every single night.
How come I never heard of this before?! This is probably one of the most beautiful song I've ever heard. And that voice omg.
“You can see the madness in my eyes”
this song it too beautiful to exist.
underrated comment
I'm just one more of those people who came looking for this song right after watching the episode. lol.
+Eiko Pumpkin Amen!
+Eiko Pumpkin Me too!!! So good!
Same here
+Eiko Pumpkin me too! lol

Some songs just make you cry from how good they sound. This is One of them

Also teen wolf does a great job picking up amazing songs
+francesca giovinazzi this is very true 👌🏽
+francesca giovinazzi Speaking the absolute truth
Totally agree
Perpetual Shazamming!
Had a dream about a song i never heard, typed in some lyrics and found this masterpiece. I love my mind.
Which lyrics?
@@BlissAnimations (S)He had a dream, in which dreamed some lyrics. Then, once awakened, (s)he typed those dreamed words in Google, and found this song.
So happy nothing brought me here and I'm just a fan of the artist.
Bitch shut your yuki sanders ass up. I seriously have no idea how my comment triggered you. Buttburned ass😒
how you got knonw about it?
What are you 12?
Apparently you are for getting a argument started by a simply comment. But hey, that's you.
Rēstłešs Cãłviñ That comment had me dying!! lol 😂😂😂
Amazing song HTGAWM knows how to pick their fricking music man
this song deserves to go viral, i'll do my part.
Absolutely agree
AGREE :)
check out Into the Sun by Bassnectar, the beat played for franks sex scene....................................................u'll thank me later
I knoww rightt
honestly!!!! all of the songs played on the show are amazing!
It had me crying when I saw it live. It was like party hard until this song began. Everyone just stopped and stood still, singing along.
Those high notes are awesome.
One of my favorite songs on this album...
A true hymn! Beautiful, deep and touching.
Music is the only thing that keeps me going. There's nothing that makes me feel something real anymore
Haven't been sleeping for days, I am on anxiety attacks and almost about to lose my cognitive skills, thinking that I am gonna die and won't resist. So, this song hits me so hard.
How you been these days? I really hope you're doing better now.
@@ruba8861 Thanks for asking. I'm staying alive. How about you?
@@boowitchcraft aga iyisin umarım saat 7 iyi sabahlar olsun
God bless you my friend, that right there you talking about happened to me 5 months ago , my only relieve was God, talk to him . Ask away, he has always been here for us . It's never late, it works. I can assure you from my experience, it just makes everything better and makes you feel so special like you are ! We are all special !
U will get healed whatever it takes...it will one day stop n be it forever
masterpiece, infinite poetry and emotional swing. The incredible sensitivity and intelligence. You are tearing my soul Chris. Thank you.
No word can describe such a beautiful song, too much sorrow inside and beauty at the same time, my eyes are brimming with tears, thank you
I found this through a rainy sleep playlist and I gotta say…. This is beautiful.
On sent la détresse du chanteur , qu’il vit ce qu il chante et ce cadeau émotionnel... , cette passion , cette douleur , c’est magnifique 😍
I cant believe i found you Chris, the words in this beautiful song are beyond amazing. i understand the feelings and emotions and i want to thank you..nobody knows how i have ever felt but you know...every song is out of this world..xx
I fucking adore IAMX's music holy shit
OH YES! This song was such a stand alone track when hearing this album for the first time. It made me completely break down and sob since it is my thoughts put out into a physical form. As someone who suffers from anxiety and insomnia, it is what I needed for so long. Thank you for this song but also album, Chris
I'm addicted to this song
This song evokes the strongest emotions of despair, passion, joy, love, power, and every emotion in between for me. Thanks for showing this song to me years ago Ricky. ❤

"oh my god , you are beautiful "was the phrase which brought me here! Is just fire!
This song fits the show so well I had to look up what it was. The final 2 episodes of season 2 absolutely blew me away with how amazing an actress Viola Davis is. If you didn't sob uncontrollably during either the hospital scene after her accident or the scene with her mother in the back yard then damn you're cold. Annalise is
Viola is a legend. And everybody's killing it on the show
Voce sublime, musica incantevole ....magica melodia❤
This song is beyond words...
If I were to ever have a religion, it would be listening to this song through headphones on full blast on repeat. Just breathtaking.
I love HTGAWM as much the next person, but I kinda feel like in the comments it's overshadowing what was a really emotional song for Chris to write.

This just makes me want to give chris a big long hug and tell him that while things may not be fine now, they can become so in time
You know Chris you literally saved my life multiple times.
Always wished I could meet you
This artist has a lot of amazing songs and an outstanding voice. Why is he so underrated??
I love him 💚
i first heard of iamx in 2012, and so many years later i still feel most of his songs are like a punch to my gut
That fuckin chris voice is so emotional!
This album appear to me in a perfect time and its my favorite ever! So cativating and carefully prepared 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
He truly is the only artist who gets me from my depression, only one who undestands
At work on break can only listen to two IAMX songs that's just not enough ❤️
Which?
Thank you HTGAWM!!!
One of the greatest songs ever written in the history of time.
That voice. Those lyrics that pierce the soul with truth. Haunting memories of nostalgia. Thank you for helping me to navigate through the darkness with this piece.
Thank you How To Get Away With Murder for bringing me here, what a stunning piece of music. That episode was incredible, Viola Davis was perfection!!!
It feels like he's telling my story ..really such an under-rated artist...the reason is people don't wanna accept they really are going through something like this ,maybe they are afraid that they might find this song relatable...damn I need sleep !
Such a beautiful song....I have been playing it over and over.
Insomnia is my favorite song of this album, just so relatable.

This song randomly appeared on my phone and im not sorry.
Love when a singer can express so much raw emotion in his voice.
A song who will never be forgotten ❤️ thank you 🙏🏽
RUclips recommendations are sometimes weird but this time I must say it's AWESOME
Chris this is amazing, loved it live. Thank you for all your beautiful sounds and words.
htgawm getting it RIGHT with their music. that ending Montage was insane
Tbh, this song brought me to htgawm. Everyone was talking about the show so finally decided to watch it. So glad that I did..
"How to Get Away with Murder" brought me here. Very nice song.

Lyrics to Insomnia:
"The day is incomplete
The thoughts of total defeat
I don't know what is happening to me
Or if I'll die, 'cause I just never sleep
You awoke into my night
You could see the madness in my eyes
I've lost control, please save me from myself
I've lost control, please save me from myself
My conscience begs for time
'Cause you can't fight the clock
Ticking inside
I'm just a bigger baby me
Acting smart, oh what irony
Where will I end up, tonight?
Getting fucked or frying my mind
I've lost control, please save me from myself
I've lost control, please save me from myself
Calm me down with your caress
I'll get off while I watch you undress
Maybe the sex will help me to forget
A precious, transient schizophrenic bliss
Oh, my god, you're beautiful
Why do you stay with this neurotic fool?
I've lost control, please save me from myself
I've lost control, please save me from myself
I've lost control, please save me from myself
I've lost control, please save me from myself"
You gotta thank amazing shows for featuring songs you might never hear otherwise! Love this!
Magic song
I sing this song like a hymn at night.
Flawless.

I’m so sorry for your loss.
I love this song so much, it sticks with you
This is where everything, ever, was leading. Everything in the world that happens after this album is frailing decline. This is what beauty is.
This song is absolutely beautiful and sad.... Chris' voice is amazing....
HTGAWM... got me all up in these type of genre of music that I wouldn't even think twice to listening to...well I'll be damned!
SN: That beat fye tho! 🔥🔥🔥
That's the beauty of our connected society now. We can discover things we never knew would touch us the way they do.

thank you "how to get away with murder" for this amazing art soundtrack,,,,,,,,
I really relate with this song, didn't think I would but I am enchanted.
incredible
I have yet to hear an IAMX song I don’t like! A fan since 2008!!
This song always reminds me of my childhood bestfriend saving me from my neurotic abusive boyfriend. I liked my bestfriend forever but i repressed it cause I didn't think he felt the same way until he was fed up with how I was treated and helped me.
Came here because this song touched a deep part of my psyche when it was played in that htgawm episode. The look on Annalise's face as she found out such a horrifying truth, the only truth that has been hidden from her brilliant mind. Now this song is crawling deeper into the most profound part of my Id iceberg as I find my own description in these twisted lyrics.
The best part of the song is "Omg Your BEAUTIFUL!.."
omg final ep next week!!!!
Just lost my best friend to suicide and have this song on repeat. I can hear him saying please save me from myself. I'm sorry I didn't save you
this song is crazy
