This song was also written for Jacoby's step-great grandfather. His name was Roatch and his nickname was Papa Roach, the inspiration for the name of the band. He committed suicide in 2006 after he was diagnosed with cancer. Song is dedicated to him.
This song was written to commemorate Jacoby's Grandfather (for whom the band was name) untimely suicide... my Best Friend and band mate's Mother just passed resently and he has legitimately nothing now.. this song has honestly helped us all get through this hard time.. thank you Papa Roach...
This song was a tribute to Jacoby Shaddix's Step Grand-father, who commited suicide after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Howard William Roatch was nicknamed Papa roach by Jacoby and his brothers.
I love and hate this song at the same time :( hate because of the memorie and love because it´s most awesome song of PAPA ROACH... and... I hope they´ll come to the CZ again soon!!!!!! thanks
such a beautiful song, its lyrics match the music so well it feels like i can see the song happening sorta like a makeshift music video. !!!WOOT PAPA ROACH ROCKS!!!
El nombre del grupo proviene del abuelo de Shaddix, Howard William Roatch, que tenía el apodo de Papa Roach. Roatch se suicidó en 2006 y por ello el grupo le rinde homenaje con esta canción...
@ShaggyPker yeah. I agree. It's not mainstream POP. it's mainstream rock. It's not played after Justin Bieber because it's a totally different genre...but it's probably one of the most well known modern rock bands. Either that guy doesn't live in America, or he's one of those ppl who stops listening to bands when they become popular.
Eventhough I'm a girl and he says "I've got a wife that'll put roses on my grave" I still sing along because I know someone will put roses on my grave when I'm gone.
@a7xfanforeverz How? Last Resort is probably one of the most famous rock songs of our time. Forever, To Be Loved, Lifeline, are just 3 songs out of prolly 15 that are played on the radio. Your crazy dude.
I know nobody will react to this but i wish i died cause cant anymore live on with this pain inside i feel empty why life is eternal when you know you cant reverse time and correct your mistakes
The thing about life is it goes on no matter what. Things also always get better. Everyone is beautiful in their own way and this song reminds us of that.
Life has never been about reversing mistakes for me. It has been about embracing everybody's individuality. Whatever mistake you think is so huge that you can't overcome I would like to hear about it.
I used to believe the universe was a sadistic death circus, with a vindictive ringmaster who randomly pointed to people in his audience going ‘fuck her, fuck him, fuck you, and fuck that woman in particular’. After two decades of utter misery and laughably bad luck, I realised I was that woman. But then again, so are a lot of other people. And there’s nothing to be done about it except to pick yourself up and endure it. Try and think beyond this moment in time. Try to atone for your mistakes in small ways because running from them never works, but you can earn your self-respect back. Eventually it will pass.
true i cant say i have seen the world its true face but i felt that way anyway and now something inbetween tnx for reacting cause I whas down but now i feel up

this song always makes me think of people around me that have passed away.
Ok the whole song is amazing, and very emotional, but the peak at 2:20 is pure magic! Why does it only have 70k views? It should be at least 1mil.
Want this to play on my funeral !

God, it's so wonderful I could cry. I'm going to go on a concert on 20th july. I'm so freaking excited.
This song is way waaaaay too underrated

Beautiful song!
and i know how it feels like many others might here
i know how its to lose a close person to you and i was young when it happened
This song rocks!!!
my ex dedicated this song to me. The thought of me someday visiting him at a cemetery is really heart wrenching
Open a new tab and go to youtube type in Sounds of Rain and Thunder on the River and listen these two together. Amazing!! ^^

@emilyybender Im sorry to hear that, well done for pulling throught it

Good song
I hope some friends will still remember me when im gone and put roses on my grave
I want this to be my funeral song
i wasn't good enough for this song or this life.
@a7xfanforeverz This is very mainstream in America. Maybe you don't listen to the radio, but they are constantly played on rock stations.
i don't forget my grandfather
Appréciez cette mélodie, fermez les yeux, c'est enivrant, juste parfait :)
Epic!
Eventhough I'm a girl and he says "I've got a wife that'll put roses on my grave" I still sing along because I know someone will put roses on my grave when I'm gone.
Even if you don't, I'm a mortician with a heart and I leave roses on graves from the 1800s that no one is alive to visit. Everyone deserves that.
This reminds me of Seal but with a Papa Roach Flare to it.
f*cking great song!
p.s. i want this song to play at my funeral
Zoe E. Same here
@lovehatetragedyPR i feel the same way about my uncle i lost him and papa roach reminds me of him
