First time watching this, this is that side of Norman you don't get by just watching Northern Boys. That so much talent and expression can live inside a tortured mind, there's many examples of that in the world and it boggles my mind. I'm mediocre by comparison and live a happy life, how can existence be so much pain so someone so clearly gifted. Here's to you Norman, thank you for having the guts to show us all this.
I thought he was just a humorous act, thank god(s) for the sindhu sesh. Wouldnt have checked these out otherwise. Really helps me get through the days in my failure of a life, thank you Norman so much if you reading these comments.
@John Mojo rest in peace, R.I.P, The families dead, atleast they’re free I walk this road alone and no one knows except for me. I’ve had this feeling every day, my fingers bleed. Climb those walls, I can’t go home, I buried my front door key. Somethings wrong this pain won’t leave, leave me in my cave and let me be (let me be) Will I live or will I die I just don’t know, I guess we’ll see. Turn my back on life I won’t survive unless I’m free… 18 years in the can that’s time I won’t get back, line my soul into the ground and take my heart and paint it black. Everything I own fits inside a plastic bag, all of these problems in my life are weighing on me cold and break my back Life of the twitch live living stitches, slight of the wrist and my minds in prison, Pint and a bit or I might start itching and turning again to addiction, Let me paint you a picture, (???) starry night out the window, fister, distant figures and balls and blisters i miss my parents I wish they where with us, Yes, but I left my heart on the track. Life just slipped through the cracks. Now I know just one things a fact… (One day they’re gonna wanna know who I am. She can’t keep him from me forever) Gotta keep it together, Dalai Lama. Prey every day, holy father. Killed that guy, killed his wife, you know what they say, guess that’s karma. (???) in the chiller, Beer in the fridge, white in the pocket. All cuz (????) so fuck it. Stand in the bath, shaving my head, plug in the socket. (????) , lay in the gutter, fill it with vomit. Sold my car, bloke in the boot, bomb in the bonet. Shall I compare me to a piece of shit, write you a sonnet.
Dude finally someone said it. God bless this man, I’m sorry his family is dead and I thank him for making music we can relate to. Leave me in my cage and let me be!
holy hell i seen this guy through pete and bas but he's on the same level if not even more authentic and his flow is crazy on drill. Norman if you're reading this thanks for providing so much pleasure to your audience even through the pain and dark.
In the world plagued with consumerism and excess, Norman speaks the truth. He paints a vivid portrait of the pain and misery I endure every single day, His songs feel so personal despite me never having met him. He speaks to me on a level that 99% of other artists could not dream of doing. Once again, bravo Mr Pain.
NGL, this was me just a few years back. It took a lot of effort, and a very dear friend to help me out of the hole. I feel it pulling at my ankles everyday, trying to bring me back.
@@refundreplay I hope you're doing well. It's a shitty feeling, when life keeps trying to drag you down. Try to keep your head held high and stay strong dude.
Exactly. Surely the image is exaggerated but it is clear that Norman knows what he is talking about and it's impossible to put in so much emotion into something that ain't real.
@@zeeninetynine yeah bit like Eminem. You can tell Norm's been through it, albeit probably not double homicide & selling a car with a corpse in the boot, probably like a gbh or intent/attempted M or something. True artistry
Да ладно... настоящий санта-социальной-правды даёт о себе знать.. Норман, мы тут!!! Мета-батя, твои дети не забывали о тебе ни секунды! Столько раз переслушивал твои треки, и этот буду.......
@@herommoreh кончно можно много поспорить, но я согласен - главное: чувствуется что он искренен и поёт и своим сердцем и от него, это берёт как мало что, это так.
“Everything I own fits in a plastic bag” And then it cuts to him with the plastic bag over his head. He can’t fit in that. He doesn’t own himself, something else does. I relate to that incredibly. Great stuff norm.
Norman is probably one of the best lyricist out there...his words literally paint a picture in your head...this has been one of my favorite songs as of lately...and i just saw the video now and dam dude awesome
I came here from going down the northern boys rabbit hole, and oh my god. This is awesome! Painfully raw, emotional, and then he's spelling out "why?" in frozen chips. Its hilarious and heartbreaking all at once. Seriously, this is genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I came across norman pain for myself for the first time just under a year ago. Showed my buddies and after a few days i forgot about him unfortunately. I sincerely am angry with myself and regret it so much. I saw astari post a new song of his just 5 hours ago and it reminded me of all his music and im currently finishing up my first listen through after almost a year. I'm shedding a few tears because of this beautiful, powerful, and just honest ART. If you see this norman, i hope you receive all the admiration for your artistic expression that you possibly can. Don't ever stop doing what you're doing because you are not alone and these pieces I've listened to over the past half hour are complete reservoirs of true human emotion. Truly amazing songs.
Holy shit. I love The Northern Boys, and Norman's bars are my favourites, but I didn't realise he'd done stuff on his own. This goes fucking hard, and is heartbreaking. Love you, man.
I am still dumbfounded that Norman hasn't received his due recognition for his raw and real life lyrics. Sonnet is a masterpiece. Sinduh session absolute fire🔥 main stream rappers today are fictional story tellers. Norman just battle tested OG.
Been coming back to this weekly since it dropped, still as harrowing and intense as the first listen. Unironically one of the best rap songs to come out of 2021.
Rest in peace, R.I.P The family's dead, at least they’re free I walk this road alone and no one knows except for me I fight this feeling every day, my fingers bleed Climb those walls, I can’t go home, I buried my front door key Something's wrong, this pain won’t leave Leave me in my cave and let me be (let me be) Will I live or will I die?

For the love of god, Norman, please don't stop making music. You're getting so much more of new recognition around the world after the Make it Back sesh. Much love!
wow. this is so different to what I was expecting from a Norman song. so good. 3 months since my original comment and I think iv listened to this every day since.
as ive not been to jail for 18 years like norman...i do feel your pain. as i am also a prisoner of my own mind. and yes. I know about having nothing, and making it all back. You kick ass sir. Keep making us proud
I started ironically listening to this because of Normans exposure with Pete and Baz. And It's quickly became a tune I'm listening to in the car. Regardless of age, this is better than most of the rap scene at the minute.
This one hit me hard, AS someone who has lost... a lot in his life I feel like norman here. Norman, you're an inspiration, man. Keep firing those fucking jams, this guy at least, needs them righ tnow
his most stunning and touching track of his whole catalogue. shit hits deep when you realise this was posted on December 25th 2 years ago. i find winter to be a tough time, and this song and video for most is a manifestation of that sometimes.
I fucking love you norman.....I've been there many times with a bottle of white ace feeling the loss of my family and the stress of court cases......you ain't alone brother and you have a new fan in me....love all your tracks, hope you see this message bruv 👍
I really feel for you mate it’s clear you’ve had a really hard life and I hope you can at least get clean from the booze and enjoy the rest of your life we all support you the sky is the limit for you 💯
Pain may well be the G.O.A.T. I always think it and now its high time I say it, but em and norman are on similar planes in the game. Every new drop from Norman is a blessing to the world.
Norman is unironically one of the most important artists in the UK right now
Damn right brother
Facts!
In the entire world if you don't mind the addendum
Why?
Pain
We’re all here for you norm keep pushing
Amazing beat mate
your beats truly come to life under normans care, incredible team
perfect blend of wibes in this one, the squares give me stank face but the keys are gorgeous
Beautiful beat bro is there somewhere I can grab the instrumental??
91 shots is the GOAT 🔥🔥🔥
U can tell when someone who has known real pain, desperation and emptiness expresse themselves through film,music.
It makes the art that much more real
Not going to lie, "I miss my parents I wish they were with us" made me hardcore cry. Norman, you are heavily underrated and extremely talented
as someone who lost his parents a tyoung age yup feel this hard

Norman is the most underrated artist I know out there! Get him the credit he deserves!
Fucking RIGHT. Ive never seen anything like this
He’s on his way, just watch and see.
@John Mojo rest in peace,
R.I.P,
The families dead, atleast they’re free

@John Mojo it’s not quite right, I’ll work on it soon and upload to genius
@John Mojo done, check out Genius for the lyrics ;)
“I can’t go home
I buried my front door key.”
Just…I can’t even describe how this line moved me.
This is Norman's best song IMO.
Norm can punch your gut or your heart with his music. Sometimes both. Another gem here.
👊 absolutely 💯
Dude finally someone said it. God bless this man, I’m sorry his family is dead and I thank him for making music we can relate to.
Leave me in my cage and let me be!
Or your bread
He'll also headbutt you for bus fare

Salute to all single fathers alone on Christmas day.
👊
'Shall I compare thee to a piece of shit' is something to add to my vocabulary 🔥
"Shall I compare thee to a piece of shit? Write you a sonnet?"
The whole line is a banger. Powerful line.
High end art. Nothing less.
Actually this is true, he's portraying misery through his art
NORMAN PAIN *needs* more credit in this world
In the world plagued with consumerism and excess, Norman speaks the truth. He paints a vivid portrait of the pain and misery I endure every single day, His songs feel so personal despite me never having met him. He speaks to me on a level that 99% of other artists could not dream of doing. Once again, bravo Mr Pain.
Exactly same here 🤘
I've met him in Brighton @alex, he knows 'of you'
Thank you Norman, you are amazing. As a single father who's losing his family this hits hard as fuck. This emotion is everything.
NGL, this was me just a few years back. It took a lot of effort, and a very dear friend to help me out of the hole. I feel it pulling at my ankles everyday, trying to bring me back.
stand strong. if they try pulling you down its because they're to weak to get up like you did.
@@bobert8125 thank you for that, but its just life trying to beat me down, not people. I have a pretty good bunch around me these days
@@refundreplay I hope you're doing well. It's a shitty feeling, when life keeps trying to drag you down. Try to keep your head held high and stay strong dude.
I promise you've got this.
This is pure artistic genius. I can't tell how much is real, but I guess it doesn't really matter. This is a post-postmodern hip-hop masterpiece.
Exactly. Surely the image is exaggerated but it is clear that Norman knows what he is talking about and it's impossible to put in so much emotion into something that ain't real.

This is the damn blues ✊🏿🥲
the sheer misery in this song is insane, from the song itself to the music video
absolutely amazing

This is a massive surprise! I have been replaying your songs over and over the last week.
Never heard such a heart wrenching grime beat before. Goes crazy good
Rest in peace, R.I.P

I walk this road alone and no one knows except for me

Climb those walls, I can’t go home, I buried my front door key
Something's wrong, this pain won’t leave
Leave me in my cave and let me be (let me be)
Will I live or will I die? I just don’t know, I guess we’ll see
Turn my back on life, I won’t survive unless I’m free
Eighteen years in the can, that’s timе I won’t get back
Drive my soul into the ground and takе my heart and paint it black
Everything I own fits inside a plastic bag
All of these problems in my life are weighing on my shoulders break my back
Life on the twitch live, living stitches, sleight of the wrist and the mind's in prison
Pint of the bitter, I might start itching and turning again to addiction
Let me paint you a picture
Van Gogh on a starry night out the window's vista
Distant figures and boils and blisters
I miss my parents, I wish they were with us
But I left my heart on the track
My life just slipped through the cracks
Now I know just one things a fact
(One day they’re gonna wanna know who I am
She can’t keep them from me forever)
Gotta keep it together, Dalai Lama
Pray every day, holy father
Killed that guy, killed his wife
You know what they say, guess that’s karma
Corpse in the chiller, beer in the fridge, ice in the bucket
Woke up this morning and just thought fuck it
Stand in the bath, shaving my head, plug in the socket
Can't walk straight, lie in the gutter, fill it with vomit
Sold my car, bloke in the boot, blood on the bonnet
Shall I compare thee to a piece of shit? Write you a sonnet
Damn, his lyrics are brutal, honest and raw as life itself
TYSM
Heartbreakingly powerful - you’ve done it again Norm
Most under rated artist of 2021
a devastating work of art. this needs to be remembered.
I've been raging all my life. Where was this when I was younger. Literally tapped in
Holy shit this might be the best one yet. 0:40 to 1:07 is amazing
Holy fuck this had me in tears man
No wonder... he's a genius.
Whos still listening in 2024??!
glad you're still around
Norman is single handedly keeping Frosty Jack in business.
Fantastic artistry as always Norm. We love you. Chin up and Merry Christmas
Norman laying his soul out there for us to see. This is some heavy and beautiful art this man is sharing with us. We’re lucky to experience it.
For the love of god, Norman, please don't stop making music. You're getting so much more of new recognition around the world after the Make it Back sesh. Much love!

Norman Pain is 1 of the most talented artists in the WORLD
Are you kidding me. This is incredible. Every song bleeds with emotion. Fuck.
Honestly hits better than the majority of current popular musicians today, a true artist
At least the radiator looks in good nick.
Tune pal

its how its makes you feel. its how rap should be. a lot of his stuff is actually rhythm and poetry
Love the video idea, very minimalistic but you used every aspect of it! ❤️

Literally amazing this guy better not actually be living anything like this lmao he’s so good
Absolute fire as always Norman. Killing it Norm
Instant classic.
Lyrical masterpiece.Pure and simple. The video trebles it all.
Normam should be getting way more attention! The mans a poet!
