Get my audiobook, Turn Your Pain Into Art, totally free from Audible! I read it in my voice so you can hear every word like I wrote it in my head🙂 xoxo Ariel adbl.co/2LGqVwI
Dear Ariel, I want to tell you how much you inspired me over the years and now I over think your songs and knowing how much your songs had spoke to me so I want to say thank you for all the inspiration you have have me in your beautiful songs and just also want to let you know you have s beautiful voice and always know that. I've always wanted to explain this ......but thank you ❤ From :your fan corah starr ☺
This song really speaks to me. I really hated my parents. They hurt me. And I've been trying to get them to understand that it's their fault for almost 2 decades. I've wanted them to feel my pain. My mom is finally getting how I feel, just a bit, but just that little bit was enough to make her stop eating for a month and not get out of bed for days and days. And even though it's just the barest hint of how I feel that she understood, I stopped going on the warpath because I didn't want her to hurt herself because of me. I sincerely hope you revisit this song.
Please produce a studio version of this, you said it wasn't anything amazing but you were wrong, this is so meaningful and great, I would totally buy this song.
This goes out to my mom....sadly she'll never see the positive of this song....she'd only see the negative *sigh* but this is to her....and if anyone has dealt with or is dealing with a parent that doesn't understand them, who never feels good enough in their parents eyes, keep going....keep doing your best. No matter what they say, what they do, let it make you stronger and keep pushing on. I won't lie to you and say it gets easier, but YOU will feel better. Find yourself, forget about their acceptance and accept yourself as you are, and if you're not happy with YOU, make a change. BE the change you wish to see in the world and know that you will rise above all of this. ♥
You can put it through a converter like mp3fiber.com and listen to it. I've done this with plenty of songs that never get full releases, and put them into Spotify through local files. ^^
Sounds like it could of had some potential with a little work. I think an awesome idea would be to find those songs, record them for like an EP and release a limited number, maybe as a perk on a future Kickstarter or something. I know it would sell out almost instantly lol.
love you found the band this year. You have helped me to get past the past. Even though the scars still hurt your music makes it better. They are scars that no one can see becuse they are not visble. Thank you for makeing me stronger each day
Marina! I almost didn't scroll down here! This is a fantastic song yeah? Ive been slowing down tense what key she's playing Ina and get the Chords I think it's C#M not sure. If she's angled the camera down a bit it would be easier to see. Record a cover! Or better, do it live :)
I’m over here bawling my eyes out. Honestly, I wasn’t going to watch this because I’m exhausted, but I let my curiosity get the best of me. And I’m so glad I clicked this video. It hits hard, taking me back to some hard things my family has been through. All I’m saying is, you weren’t blown away by this one, Ariel, but it means everything to me.
I would totally buy a studio version of this song. I can make a strong emotional connection to the words in the song. Honestly, listening to it brought me to tears. There's been a lot going on my life that has led me to being able to make the connection... Thank you very much for making this, even if I was late to finding it
My favorite acoustic version.:) Her lyrics are always bone chilling and convicting in the best way in that, As much as the message hurts you can't stop listening to the song because the sound is addicting.:)
I'd love to hear a studio version of this. I'm not sure if you'll even read this... But would it be okay if I did a cover of this, since it's not released? Or would that be an issue? I'd make the instrumental, record the vocals, etc. This moved me.
I freaking loved this, it may not have blown your mind, but I swear to god, it blew mine, I absolutely love this. If you did a simple acoustic version of all the rejects across the years, I promise you I'd be there to buy them all.
I play your albums while I work. I had to stop working to listen to this. This resonates so deeply with what’s happening in my life that I had to put my pen down and just listen. 10/10 would buy a studio version and make it my ringtone. Hope of Morning, Supposed To Be, and now this have been and will be in my repeats forever ❤️
Aww this video was posted on my birthday. I cant believe I missed it. But the song is amazing! I also just noticed the potted plant in the background has "a plant" written on it XD
I really love this song. When I listened to it the first time I literally cried because it perfectly describes the relationship I have with my mom.Throughout the song I couldn't stop thinking about her
IilAqua So true, I've been moved out of my mothers for almost a year now, our relationship is still crap but it's such a release knowing I don't have to go home every night to see her and that an end call button is how I can get out of conversations now. I sent this song to her on a cell she was using for calls about a week or two before I finally moved out, but I don't think she ever listened to it because she didn't know how to work the phone,
This song opened my Pandora's box. It's been one hell of a ride and it will be but with this I'm starting to learn to forgive a thing I swore I wouldn't forgive. Ever. And with that I can get better, when I'm there. But I have this to cling to and remind me that I can be the one breaking the cycle. This needs to get out there to help others like me! Make an acoustic version of this to the acoustic album! Get it out to spread your love!
I've listened to this so many times. I don't understand why this wasn't on the album. This song is just as meaningful, if not more meaningful, than the others to me at least. This song really resonates with me. You could release this just how it is right now and I would listen to it non stop every single day. Please consider releasing this!!!
I just want you to know that this is one of my favorite songs ever, Ariel. I first listened to this song and it immediately hit home for me. I swear, I listened to this song at least 100x in one night. This song may not be all that good to you, but it's one of the best, in my opinion. It ripped the band-aid off of a festering wound and soothed the pain. So, thank you.
This sounds awesome, but I get why it didn't get on the Scripted. It doesn't sound as strong as the other songs on the album, but it's still a great song tho. Keep up with the good work Ariel! (& Shawn too ofcourse)
Ariel, this isn't just "a nice song". It might not been right for "scripted" but this has so much potential and it's an awesome song. Why I love your music is that each song tells a part of my life or me and I can get better and heal through it. This is one of those songs and I know there is more people out there going through their emotions and memories now. Getting what they needed from this piece. Thank you for sharing this, because it's worth being shared.
You guys should make an album of all of the previous album rejects! I’m sure we would all love it!! At least I would haha! Been here since the first album I’m rooting for you guys!
Okay I know this is from a long time ago but I would still LOVE a studio version of this! First heard this in 2017 and I still think about it a lot. It's SUCH an amazing song and I think many IFH fans would really appreciate it.
This song struck a chord in me that has been really sensitive lately with an anniversary coming up and I'm currently shaking, I'm shaking because you pulled out exactly how I feel in this moment and laid out in a song for all to hear. This puts the words to the conflicting anger and pain and pity boiling within, for I was damaged and I can't ever heal, but it wasn't... it wasn't intentional, it couldn't have been... We need this in an album, a lot of your songs mean to much to us, and this song speaks to so many of us on the same level that the You Can't Kill Us album does.
I was mesmerized by this. Absolutely mesmerized. I went back to scripted the other day and oh man. That was great. This is so beautiful- really. I love it.
Please put together an album of all the rejected songs. See how it sells as solely a digital release and then put it out in physical format if you choose to.
I haven't cried like that in a long time. Your music is always so meaningful, so many can relate to it, and that is why so many love it. Thank you, Ariel!
Your rejects are fabulous lol I love all your music . Your voice is so amazing . So raw and beautiful . Your amazing and so talented ! Love you and your band

I was really hoping there was an audio book of this, and that it was read by you! And boom, dream come true!
Thank you for making your audiobook free , love the lyrics to this song

you should make an album of all the rejects... call it Rejected.
Yeah tho that'd be awesome!
+Candela Mari Such YES!!!
hahaha that's an awesome idea >-
yes
that would be awesome
I 100% would buy a studio version of this.
me too!!
Me too, this song is amazing!
+Vanessa Hudson its amazing
It's I4H. Everything by them is great because they understand.
+Anna sallmen they're too underrated.
Please produce a studio version of this, you said it wasn't anything amazing but you were wrong, this is so meaningful and great, I would totally buy this song.
But "you were wrong" XD
I'm sorry.
+Annathecommenter hahahahaha

I'd kill for a studio version of this to download omg
You can put it through a converter like mp3fiber.com and listen to it. I've done this with plenty of songs that never get full releases, and put them into Spotify through local files. ^^
Can't lie, I miss the scripted sound.
I don't know why people think scripted is the best icon album. their self titled album is
+icon for hire i love you guys its what got me hooked tbh, tho id have to say cynics and critics is my all time fav
+Kashif watch me is up there
+icon for hire i love you guys It has real heavy guitar, which I'm a sucker for
+icon for hire i love you guys both albums are awesome on their own. I love them so much cx
REL: This isn't top shelf Icon For Hire
Me: *Dies from awesomeness of song* 😍
Sounds like it could of had some potential with a little work. I think an awesome idea would be to find those songs, record them for like an EP and release a limited number, maybe as a perk on a future Kickstarter or something. I know it would sell out almost instantly lol.
I'd be first in line for this :) it needs to happen
i actually like this as much as the other songs honestly
love you found the band this year. You have helped me to get past the past. Even though the scars still hurt your music makes it better. They are scars that no one can see becuse they are not visble. Thank you for makeing me stronger each day
So obsessed with this song. Can't stop listening 💕💕💕
Marina! I almost didn't scroll down here! This is a fantastic song yeah? Ive been slowing down tense what key she's playing Ina and get the Chords I think it's C#M not sure. If she's angled the camera down a bit it would be easier to see. Record a cover! Or better, do it live :)
This song is to shelf. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Especially on your current album.
Top*
That moment you realize she's not wearing a mic or anything. She's just singing...
What does she mean its not top shelf, it's peak shelf even.
The lyrics just goes into the heart, especially when it relates to past experiences
I’m over here bawling my eyes out.
Honestly, I wasn’t going to watch this because I’m exhausted, but I let my curiosity get the best of me.
And I’m so glad I clicked this video. It hits hard, taking me back to some hard things my family has been through.
All I’m saying is, you weren’t blown away by this one, Ariel, but it means everything to me.
I'd love a studio version of this
I would totally buy the studio version of this!! like 100%
I would totally buy a studio version of this song. I can make a strong emotional connection to the words in the song. Honestly, listening to it brought me to tears.

My favorite acoustic version.:) Her lyrics are always bone chilling and convicting in the best way in that, As much as the message hurts you can't stop listening to the song because the sound is addicting.:)
I want that in You Can't Kill Us!
Also, what happened to Perfect Storm? Remember that song? Amazing, right? Bring it back!
Since they were still on the label, I think the song is own by Tooth & Nail
Perfect Storm was never released, so I think they can use it still
I know it wasn't, but I don't think they can, they also can't release Conversation With A Rockstar for the same reason
they have Said in a few Livestreams that toothandnail owns it :/
saaad! at least, she could play it here on the rel show... the audio would always be better than the one we have now...
This is one of my favourite Icon for Hire songs ever. So meaningful, beautiful and true; I love it so much!
It's awesome, how could someone reject this?
Wish the freestyle days were back ,I know this band could killit. Very talented.
I'd love to hear a studio version of this.
I'm not sure if you'll even read this...
But would it be okay if I did a cover of this, since it's not released?
Or would that be an issue?
I'd make the instrumental, record the vocals, etc.
This moved me.
*literally had the exact same thought...* XDD
I freaking loved this, it may not have blown your mind, but I swear to god, it blew mine, I absolutely love this. If you did a simple acoustic version of all the rejects across the years, I promise you I'd be there to buy them all.
This gave me goosebumps. I wish it had made it onto the album
me too. I hope they put it on you can't kill us
I play your albums while I work. I had to stop working to listen to this. This resonates so deeply with what’s happening in my life that I had to put my pen down and just listen. 10/10 would buy a studio version and make it my ringtone. Hope of Morning, Supposed To Be, and now this have been and will be in my repeats forever ❤️
I don't understand who could dislike this...i mean i can't even call them haters.
Aww this video was posted on my birthday. I cant believe I missed it. But the song is amazing!
I also just noticed the potted plant in the background has "a plant" written on it XD
Omg, It has! Hahaha I just died laughing. Thx xD
I really love this song. When I listened to it the first time I literally cried because it perfectly describes the relationship I have with my mom.Throughout the song I couldn't stop thinking about her

I swear, I can relate to every song Icon makes. This song, even though it isn’t on an album, hits me hard just listening to it.
I LOVE this song!!! I would buy this song a million times over!
Please, please, please make this song for your next album!!! I love it sooooooo much!!!!
This song opened my Pandora's box. It's been one hell of a ride and it will be but with this I'm starting to learn to forgive a thing I swore I wouldn't forgive. Ever. And with that I can get better, when I'm there. But I have this to cling to and remind me that I can be the one breaking the cycle.

I would love to see this song on an album! Definitely has potential to be one of my favorites, if not most favorite.
this song is beautiful and the lyrics tell a compelling story... please consider releasing this or a studio version for sale ^~^
Raw talent, a true artist. This song is so amazing, sung beautifully.
insert "shut up and take my money" meme here
XD
How beautiful. So worth 9 hours of school waiting to watch at home.
I just want you to know that this is one of my favorite songs ever, Ariel. I first listened to this song and it immediately hit home for me. I swear, I listened to this song at least 100x in one night. This song may not be all that good to you, but it's one of the best, in my opinion. It ripped the band-aid off of a festering wound and soothed the pain. So, thank you.
I need this for my 'sad' playlist... so good
This sounds awesome, but I get why it didn't get on the Scripted. It doesn't sound as strong as the other songs on the album, but it's still a great song tho. Keep up with the good work Ariel! (& Shawn too ofcourse)
I'm actually crying right now. this is just so beautiful
I just discovered this song I really enjoyed it
this is now my favorite song
Could you guys release this as a single? It swoons my heart, mind, and ears.
Ariel, this isn't just "a nice song". It might not been right for "scripted" but this has so much potential and it's an awesome song. Why I love your music is that each song tells a part of my life or me and I can get better and heal through it. This is one of those songs and I know there is more people out there going through their emotions and memories now. Getting what they needed from this piece.

You guys should make an album of all of the previous album rejects! I’m sure we would all love it!! At least I would haha! Been here since the first album I’m rooting for you guys!
It's a beautiful song to listen to. I'd adore to hear more rejected songs & have them in an album
Okay I know this is from a long time ago but I would still LOVE a studio version of this! First heard this in 2017 and I still think about it a lot. It's SUCH an amazing song and I think many IFH fans would really appreciate it.

That song was amazing!!! I really enjoyed it more than a few of the songs on Scripted
wow that song is absolutely not a reject at all just wow I've never felt so connected to a song like I do that one before thank you
Bro, that's so good! How was that a reject?! You guys should totally make an album for the rejects!
I LOVE THIS SONG SOO MUCH
This song seriously brought me to tears. This matches my life.
100% relate to this song 💙 Hope one day there's a studio version of it
this would actually be my favorite song on the new album, I freaking love it. a full band doing this would be incredible
This reminds me a lot of Sorry About Your Parents.
The chorus of this song blows my fucking mind.
I'd love to see this in an album or on it's own.
Wow, I really love the meaning behind this song. Like _really_ love
This song fits so perfectly to a story that right now is in my head! It should be in the album!!
