I stopped using fentanyl in February 2019 and still clean today. This song is the best example of what my bottom was like. This song reminds me of the feeling of knowing it was finally done I couldn't do it anymore 😢. Thank you for putting it in a song helps ❤️
I used to listen and sing this album while I was detoxing from heroin. Been clean now for 7 years. Congrats to you keep going life only can get better! I can't imagine fentanyl withdrawal. From what I know it's much worse. Always happy to hear others recovery stories and successes.
LOVE seeing comments like this! I have been clean for just a few months now. I had lost literally everything but my life (thank goodness) my job, car, kids, house....I lived in a tent in the new England winter and I finally woke up one day and said "I don't want to do this anymore,I'm done" and I have been done since then. I start my new job Monday morning I have a roof over my head, and I see my children daily. Above all else, my kids deserve better than a junkie for a parent, or even worse a dead mother. So proud of you!
Its so weird seeing him i grew up with him when we were younger. Never in a million years id thought id be watching him in concert and whatnot. Been long time since we talked he had just hit it and called me while he was on the road with korn
Truth. I feel all the feels. His words seem to be picked from my troubled soul. He is truly one of my heroes. This man knows pain. Understands it and knows others like me feel pain too. Kindred soul. I love this man and his mind. A beautiful mind. And heart.
Every time you hear a Aaron Lewis song you just stop and listen to each word. When it’s over you wish it wasn’t. The man is a true patriot and loyal American.
Acoustic Aaron Lewis shows are the best. Covers, country, Staind, and stories from an original Rock n Roll star stripped down to just a voice and an acoustic guitar that send chills thru your body the whole show.
Mine too. I've grown up with him. Loved him since I found my love for music. He and his music, has been my ride or die so many times!!! Xxoo to Aaron Lewis!
I remember buying stainds first album on military leave in 99 because Fred Durst discovered them at that time, their songs were raw on the first album 🤘🏾
Dude, this song finally gave my son and I a proper diagnosis of ADHD for both of us and treatment instead of self medicating and if this cost a million, so be it, we owe you a million because this song changed our lives!! Seeing you at Rockville with Staind was beyond breathtaking and can't wait to see Aaron in Coconut Creek in March! Would love to have beers and other party favors with him of various types or otherwise because he epitomizes Us, and our glorious Nation that we Love so Yeah, As a retired Marine of Iraq and Afghanistan, I just feel honored that Aaron Lewis, as a public figure, stands for everything we fought for. We need more of him because he represents US!!
People always say Music is the Soundtrack to life or how a song, "saved" someone's life? Well, Aaron Lewis's/Staind's music is the the soundtrack of my life and I honestly Don't know if I'd have made it 44 years without their songs, especially ones like this. Thank you, Sir.
Once of the best concerts I've been too... Someone threw dog tags on stage and he played with them on his guitar for a couple songs... One of the best environments.. I bought a shirt from the concert and constantly get complimented on it.. he's a legend
I met Aaron in Tampa, Florida. Got my picture with him and hung out backstage with him in 2013. He is and was a simple person with a love for his music and fans. What a guy!
Aaron Lewis is the man. I've been watching him age over the years but he will never get old to me. His music has always and will always play my heart strings. Wish I could find a man kind of like him.
Ive recently discovered Aaron , a man... with his guitar and such a RAWsome voice full of emotions of highs and lows . A great story teller in his songs. 💛🙏 Caroline
This is my Brother's (who is also my best mate) favourite song.. it makes me cry listening to it, cause I know all of his pain and the shit he goes through everyday (the kinda stuff that not even the biggest mix bowl fixes).. praying for better days.. but this music helps..we are huge fans of Staind and of you Aaron. Thank you so much for the music.
I saw this guy when he still was front man for Staind at an amphitheater venue with Shinedown and Papa Roach. His vocals are still just as amazing as they were then
A huge group of us saw the same tour, by the time they got to us Papa Roach had to cancel a couple shows, it was a bummer, but Staind absolutely killed it!
I got goosebumps listening to this. Aaron Lewis is one of the most underrated solo artists out there today. I know this song is from his time in Staind, but the man has so much fucking talent riding solo.
Omg he is out on a great show tonight in Deadwood South Dakota omg it was the best Aron Lewis put on the best show to concert I have been to in a long time I love staind
Hard to believe this video never made shit! I watch it frequently. One of my favorites. His show at the Red Rock Casino in Vegas was awesome and looking forward to the upcoming show in Vegas with Godsmack and Staind!
Still sound amazing.. just as good as when he started! I love this song, the lyrics he writes are so on point. A legend. Would give anything since 7th grade in 98 to meet him back stage.. haha RUclips us as close as I can get!
Aaron, never believe that this song and video never did shit because that is and always be a lie...... It is and always will be one of my favorite songs and videos of all times 🤩
It kind of broke my heart a little when Aaron Lewis went country. He's from my home town and I've actually met him before. Where were from def ain't country. Lol. But in all honesty, Break The Cycle epitomized alot of what I was going through at the time of it's release. That album meant the world to me. Still does in many ways. To this day, Epiphany brings me to tears. I realize it's about Aaron's struggle with ADD, but I don't care. It meant more to me than that. Before I found out the meaning behind the song I had already created my own vision for it and I maintain that vision as we speak. It's gut wrenching, raw, and pure emotion. I will always love this song and that album. It dug a tiny hole inside my precious heart and that's where it will remain forever.
Wasn’t for nothing… made me a life long fan and I’m sure I’m not the only one. The song made me a fan, the video gave it the exposure for me to find the song.
As an addict I have been up n down for years this song rocks me to my core I'm clean since January 2023 from alcohol and heroin/ Fentanyl I have a great woman who has stood beside me and now people are starting shit trying to break me an even worse break her an I UP WHICH I FEEL LIKE SHE IS DONE WITH ME I PRAY TO GOD SHE ISNT I know ive done wrong an I have put her THROUGH HELL AN BACK BUT SHE'S NEVER LEFT MY SIDE SHE'S BEYOND AMAZING BUT I FEEL IM LOSING HER AN MY MIND I JUS WANNA LAY DOWN AND DIE 💔🥺 I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND I THANK GOD FOR HER EVERYDAY!!!! I HATE MYSELF AT TIMES MORE THAN USUAL AND I FEEL IM LOSING HER AND IM LOSING MY MIND I HAVE MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS!!! PLEASE THROW A SMALL PRAYER UP FOR ME /US AND FOR HER THROW A HUGE PRAYER UP SHE NEEDS IT DEALING WITH ME I LOVE U BABE PLEASE GOD WRAP YOUR ARMS AROUND US 🙏🙏🙏! 💔🙏I KNOW I DON'T DESERVE HER SHES AN ANGEL 😇 AND SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN MY CORNER!!! 😢 I DON'T WANNA LOSE HER!! THX
Prying for you both! Also, very proud of you to get clean, fantastic achievement! I wish the best for the two of you and hope you have a blessed lifetime together!
Damn, I have to say the video for this song is absolutely amazing. The fact it isn't doing more is because the people haven't seen it enough yet. I find the whole thing to be so inspiring and uplifting, but sad and lonely at the same time. It reminds of the spiritual realm and the beauty of children, destiny, overwhelming mystery. I watch it at least a few times every week bud. But yeah, for a million bucks, we could have done something right behind my rural home for about 100 and a go pro. lol For real, maybe next time hire out your video work and save that dough. Fiverr maybe. I never have understood the need for a huge production budget when all I want to see is what is real. No cgi, no fakery. Just a damn good story and the visuals that naturally come along with it. That's just me.
It did way more for me that he or anyone else will ever know. This is the first time I've listened to this song in over a decade and the lyrics take me back to a time that haunts my dreams and I'm choking back tears just to make this comment. Still can't listen to the whole thing
I went to a Three Doors Down concert way back. They had Staind open for them. As a whole, incredible. I think it was Right Here Waiting, but Aaron did an acoustic song. And I just sat and cried. I've loved him since. That voice man.
I went to a show on that tour. Such a beautiful experience! My dad & I looked at eachother soon as he began singing & both of us had goosebumps & simultaneously said something about how awesome it was to be there! 💖
I stopped using fentanyl in February 2019 and still clean today. This song is the best example of what my bottom was like. This song reminds me of the feeling of knowing it was finally done I couldn't do it anymore 😢. Thank you for putting it in a song helps ❤️
Keep it up, you got this!
Hey that’s great and I hope you’re still doing good.
I used to listen and sing this album while I was detoxing from heroin. Been clean now for 7 years. Congrats to you keep going life only can get better! I can't imagine fentanyl withdrawal. From what I know it's much worse. Always happy to hear others recovery stories and successes.

Man just something about this guys music man it’s so truthful, and real. The emotion and passion he puts into the songs makes you feel the music.
I couldn't agree more!
The voice is so GOOD!!!!!
Its so weird seeing him i grew up with him when we were younger. Never in a million years id thought id be watching him in concert and whatnot. Been long time since we talked he had just hit it and called me while he was on the road with korn

@@nickalicious76 same here have you heard “someone” ? One of his newest ones. It hits home for me.
Aaron Lewis will forever be one of my all time favorite singers.
Without a doubt, he as awesome!
What a time to be alive
Every time you hear a Aaron Lewis song you just stop and listen to each word. When it’s over you wish it wasn’t. The man is a true patriot and loyal American.
Agree 100%!
Love this guy 🇺🇲 , 1 of the ONLY Real Country Music Writers/Singers and just an amazing Patriot..the Voice of a LEGEND.
Acoustic Aaron Lewis shows are the best. Covers, country, Staind, and stories from an original Rock n Roll star stripped down to just a voice and an acoustic guitar that send chills thru your body the whole show.
I agree 100%!
One of the most underrated popular Vocalists that I’ve ever heard! 🎶
I agree 100%!
He’s absolutely brilliant. You’re so correct
It's always raining in my head!!!
Man, his voice in like a knife that cuts straight through my soul...
You can hear the passion in every song he sings
Agree, 100%!
Best way to describe it
This is one of my favorite artists of all time right here... Just a genuine dude.
Mine too. I've grown up with him. Loved him since I found my love for music. He and his music, has been my ride or die so many times!!! Xxoo to Aaron Lewis!
I remember buying stainds first album on military leave in 99 because Fred Durst discovered them at that time, their songs were raw on the first album 🤘🏾
I agree, good times!
The only good thing Fred has done for music
Are you talking about tormented or dysfunctional?
Well, dysfunctional, so their second album, lol
I feel you brother!! Same here!
Aaron Lewis is my favorite singer. I have seen him 18 times now and this is my favorite song of his.
Mine too! That's awesome, it's hard to beat an Aaron show!
Ditto Ditto and Ditto!!!! LOL He is the best!
Those vocals. No words. Aaron is so blessed he can smoke and sing like that at the same time. Impressive
His voice amazes me every time!
All these years later, this song still gets to me. I performed this at my grandfather's funeral in 2001.
Dude, this song finally gave my son and I a proper diagnosis of ADHD for both of us and treatment instead of self medicating and if this cost a million, so be it, we owe you a million because this song changed our lives!! Seeing you at Rockville with Staind was beyond breathtaking and can't wait to see Aaron in Coconut Creek in March!

That's great to hear about you and your son! I agree with you 100%! Semper FI!
Thank you for your service Sir.💯

You're very welcome! I couldn't agree more, glad you liked it!
I WILL WATCH IT OVER AND OVER, IN FACT, A MILLION OR MORE TIMES, TILL THE DAY I DIE
Aaron is so good, I can watch him all day as well!
Thank you Aaron your so good I love that you speak ur mind and the truth God bless you and you aren't the only one.
Aaron Lewis is a man I respect immensely. He seems like a seriously genuine guy. A lot of cover songs- but I find the acoustic version best.
He is so down to earth and like you said, genuine. I can't wait for his next live acoustic cd!
Aaron Lewis you are a Hero of mine keep writing keep singing and I will sing along!
Love this song
Aaron is the definition of a true artist. There aren't many of them any more.
We agree!
Once of the best concerts I've been too... Someone threw dog tags on stage and he played with them on his guitar for a couple songs... One of the best environments.. I bought a shirt from the concert and constantly get complimented on it.. he's a legend
That's very cool, truly one of the greats!

Nice experience!
We couldn't agree more!
I absolutely LOVE the video for this song ♥️😢♥️
Thanks for another classic cheers and beers 🍻 from Australia
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching and it's awesome that Aaron has fans from around the world! Cheers!
Prost from Germany Bayern
Aaron Lewis is the man. I've been watching him age over the years but he will never get old to me. His music has always and will always play my heart strings. Wish I could find a man kind of like him.
His music connects with people like very few others can.
Ditto❤️
This song was on repeat for a long time. It still saves me
I’ll comment just to say how good he is. All the music I love, I always come back to this
Ive recently discovered Aaron , a man... with his guitar and such a RAWsome voice full of emotions of highs and lows . A great story teller in his songs. 💛🙏 Caroline
I agree, very underrated in mainstream music today!
My favorite song to sing at Karaoke Night. When I sing it people are stopped cold they say I've never heard that song before. Love this song.
That's awesome! So many people just don't know!
This is my Brother's (who is also my best mate) favourite song.. it makes me cry listening to it, cause I know all of his pain and the shit he goes through everyday (the kinda stuff that not even the biggest mix bowl fixes).. praying for better days.. but this music helps..we are huge fans of Staind and of you Aaron. Thank you so much for the music.
You're very welcome! We wish you and yours the very best!
I saw this guy when he still was front man for Staind at an amphitheater venue with Shinedown and Papa Roach. His vocals are still just as amazing as they were then
I couldn't agree more, maybe even better today!
A huge group of us saw the same tour, by the time they got to us Papa Roach had to cancel a couple shows, it was a bummer, but Staind absolutely killed it!
Just curious, what amphitheater?
I got goosebumps listening to this. Aaron Lewis is one of the most underrated solo artists out there today. I know this song is from his time in Staind, but the man has so much fucking talent riding solo.
That's awesome and I couldn't agree more!

Yes, I do say it's always raining in my head as well as my heart but on that as so said way we turn and then in front see the start
Chills, still in Dec 2021!! Aaron Lewis/Staind got me through a lot. Still does....
He’s been doing it for a long time and you can go back groups and songs from number one hits and he’s been doing it . The fuck Man . Thank you
there was a time in my life this song was exactly what i was going through.
Yes ser very few now days make u feel the music Erin Lewis is most definitely one of those few
He can make you feel what he feels, amazing every time!
Hard to believe this video never made shit! I watch it frequently. One of my favorites. His show at the Red Rock Casino in Vegas was awesome and looking forward to the upcoming show in Vegas with Godsmack and Staind!
The way your voice cracks sends chills over me, the soul in your voice melts over me!
Without a doubt, Aaron can give you chills!
Still sound amazing.. just as good as when he started! I love this song, the lyrics he writes are so on point. A legend. Would give anything since 7th grade in 98 to meet him back stage.. haha RUclips us as close as I can get!

Grande Aaon Lewis , como grandes recuerdos con esa GRANDISIMA canción y la interpretación buenísima como siempre!!
I think this song captures how anyone who is dealing with being in battle feels.
Saw him at Pechanga about 15-17yrs ago..amazing..The loud people on this video would have drinks poured on their heads!
Hes so awesome! i covered 3 of there songs this month :)
This song means everything to me!!! I felt like it was treated as a joke and it changes my perspective on it
Was a great video
First concert I ever been to was staind and korn
Excellent Choice!
That was amazing! Thank you for uploading it. I will see him for the fourth time in Cherokee NC in Feb.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and have a great time at the show!
This song makes me cry
A beautiful song about attention deficit disorder ADHD and what it is truly like to live with it!!!

It really is amazing how much emotion you have when listening to a song like this! Thank you for sharing!
Power of music
Cool. I be first to say .... shit. (nice song). Thanks, buddy. ❤
You're welcome! I'm happy everyone is enjoying these Aaron videos!
So good! I do wish it was turned up a little bit..
Thank you!
Probably The Most Hauntingly Deep Song Ever Wrote
I love the video
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Still my favorite song
His voice is like a siren
I love this song many do it was not wasted
I went to a Three Doors Down concert way back. They had Staind open for them. As a whole, incredible. I think it was Right Here Waiting, but Aaron did an acoustic song. And I just sat and cried. I've loved him since. That voice man.
Yyyta
I went to a show on that tour. Such a beautiful experience! My dad & I looked at eachother soon as he began singing & both of us had goosebumps & simultaneously said something about how awesome it was to be there! 💖
I'll see you later im making dinner ill be listening to your music all night ok
