Indeed! Im 22 so I was only a child when this was released. Discovered Alkaline Trio through some friends only a few years ago and has been hooked ever since. Crimson is easily one of my all time faouvrite albums!
Bloody Spotify has the wrong version of this on Crimson. Don't get me wrong, I love the version off the OMA split, but the strings in this version take it up a level!
@@DonosaurusMex I don't know but it's not on Spotify either. I was listening to the album and was like this is not what was on the original album lol had to come to youtube to find the best version!
Holy fucking shit. This song has held such a special place in my heart for so damn long.. and this is the very first time I've heard this version. I am shook. This is so, so, so good. Thank you
@@robblinnbailey583 I had the album when it first came out. I just don't remember if I had downloaded it or got it on CD at the time. I clearly just don't remember this version, is all. I don't know WTF a "Zoomer" is. I'm 40.
This is the original version that came on the album. Apple music got rid of it for some reason. The demo version on Apple Music is not nearly as crisp and full as this version
It’s so weird, because this version is slightly different. I remember having the CD when I was younger and this version always sounded better than the only one available on streaming services
To make a seriously epic melody about the Manson murders is wild. There is a reason Alkaline Trio is my fav. There is a reason they are highly underrated. It takes intelligence and taste to be a fan.
Watching a History Channel special about the Manson Family right now, made me think of this song, it makes WAY more sense now. I knew what the song was about before but after you get an image of it all, it really puts it in perspective.
@@Nick_Magliano Hope you're also doing ok buddy. I've checked out your channel. How in the world do you have so few views! Your drum covers are fucking amazing! From one trio coverer/fan to another, you rock! If you ever feel like a collab, hit me up :).
It is such a great part of this Songs at 3:15. 3 minutes and 15 seconds into the song. I finally hear and get what you mean through the Music. They have a really Good Overall Sounds. Matt Skiba Singing, I love the Guitars on the Entire Crimson Album. I used to listen to my brother's Alkaline Trio Compact Disc CD in a CD Player probably in the mid to late 90's. I love this Song So Deep. I would plug in headphones/Headset right into my CD Player and listen from the beginning Starting on Time to Waste. Crimson. It is a great CD and album some of their best Music was on CD 💿 at the Time. Sadie is a Classic Alkaline Trio Song for me. I think this song was from 2005 or a different year earlier on 2003 maybe.
I love the positive vibes posts on alkaline trio! The were a huge part of my teens and still love them into my 30s would love more.. i listen to matt and dans new stuff also but theres a nostalgic feeling to the og stuff…
Anyone else listen to this on Spotify and notice the subtle changes to that version compared to this version? I've listened to thing song and sang along to it many many times, and today I noticed that the spotify version had timing and tone differences. I wonder if the band actually changed it, or if some mandela effect type shit is going on. .
Just having this chat with a friend of mine. He had no idea what I was talking about :p Biggest difference is they changed the spoken bit, but this one also seems to have a lot more harmonies throughout the song
Jason Funke Yeah, they kinda fucked it up because they putted out the demo version of this song on Crimson. The demo version of Sadie is also included on the Remains complication.
Yeah, it's obvious the writer knows the story backwards and foward. He takes it to a philosophic, poetic, and melodic level. And the details, both direct and simple: bloody clothes, knives, Charlie's broken .22; and complex, almost apologetic and mysterious: "for all they've put you through." ???? Sharon Tate or Susan Atkins? The. third person commentary for the chorus: "Sadie Mae, she's crazy, that's what the white coats say." Let's play real life doppelganger. Manson: any real life criminal turned preacher. Atkins: John Wilkes Booth, Sid Viscious. Watson: Jason, Michael Myers
I was named after this song, so I tell people I was named after sadie g and once I explain who she is they look scared and I smile in triumph and pride
That line is deep. Once you learn the details you're still trying to get at the "truth." The song writer gets into the zeitgist of it all. Their actions are all that matters. Alkaline Trio are good and direct with the implanted Sadie philosophy. What she really had in common with Manson was a desire for the apocalypse. Turns out she grew up right down the street from me. Two generations prior.
You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here It's far too bright for you If they attack you just lay there, Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through. And seconds they seem like a lifetime. A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true. And they'll pin it all on you After all you've been put through. "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say. Now Ms. Susan A. is losing Every opportunity to put us all away. You're on your own my little nightmare. Your job is done here. You've scared them all to death. If they revive them just sit there. Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath. The sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you. And your knives and clothing too. Charlie's broken .22 "Sadie G. she's crazy, see?" That's what the white coats say. Now Ms. Susan A. You're losing, Every opportunity. Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you've bound and gaged. You've shot and stab. You tried to set them free, but they've thrown away the keys. "I think that if I found a god to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him. I'd do anything for god. Even murder, if I believed it was god, how could it not be right? Because he said it was. I have no remorse for the killer inside of me, I have no guilt in me" Whoa
03:10 "Watching her behaviour - bold and actressy in court, cute and mincing when making eyeplay with someone, I get the feeling that one day she might start screaming, and simply never stop."
I've been diagnosed with it. I just know I am not mentally there, just because a doctor tells me that, I don't know if i believe it or not. I do have anger issues, but learned to try to control them. I think it's just another reason for doctors to dope you up. I am who I am, I am not that anymore. Even if a doctor claims me to be that. I think we all have a little mental problems, but don't accept it. So believe what you want, I am not making any excuses for what i do anymore.
Neat! I always wondered why they mentioned Lake Michigan in one of their songs. I find that awesome, since I live like 45 minutes away from Laks Michigan. I think their location may also contribute to the darkness of their music, similar to The Birthday Massacre. The great lakes region is woodsy and mysterious, especially in the winter, with all the swamps and deciduous forests around. It likely provides an eerie inspiration that bands from California just don't experience.
Also the song Aurora (lol) and "could walk straight back home to chicago", "north side bars", "if assholes could fly this place would be busier than o'hare" and such. Lots of chicago references.
You're right. I try to do bass covers of some songs. I only try when I really like a song. First time I heard Smile like you mean it, I wanted to a cover. First time I heard this, I wanted to do the same.
So what you really mean is that The Killers' Smile Like You Mean It sounds like "Sadie" by Alkaline Trio? This was out before The Killer's track ... ;-D
its not what they believe in that matters. its what you believe in. i mean these guys are just making a living and having fun with the music. no reason to freak out about their opinions
@darkdevil424 (cont.) i do feel it is necessary to learn about all and accept , and if that is able to happen then we might be able to live in a more peaceful world. but it does not seem like that will ever happen anytime soon.
"The little Nightmare" held down Sharon Tate, stabbed her many times, what I don't get is how Sharon Tate and Tex Watson hung her and Jay Sebring from that rafter. Yeah they found rope burns on their wrists and neck. I think the "defendants" left out some details about what happened. Like torture..Another true fact: Some guy was driving from his girlfriend's house in the Hollywood Hills that night and saw them in their beat up green pukemobile, radio blaring, the whole murder crew laughing and yelling. Mission accomplished, right gang? The song "Sadie" in my mind captures the visceral experience of the actual act, the madness of this very pretty girl and her cohorts. Art meets reality, art feeds off this macabre event. From a safe distance of course. But this songwriter gets at the bloody heart of the situation. Frankenstein's monster (Watson) leads the black widow (Atkins) on orders from Rasputin (Manson). But Alkaline Trio hints, in my opinion, that these, uh, people didn't need Manson to do what they did. They needed someone to point the way. In the words of another song: "we were all just waiting for this moment to arrive."

Still here in 2024 wondering why this version isn't on Spotify 😢
What's Spotify?
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's been bothered by this for literally years 😂😭
Get off your ass and see them live jackass
Same, I didn’t know the little changes bothered anyone but me
They used the demo version from the deluxe edition and I've tried emailing it, but they didn't do anything about it
This album will never die
Indeed! Im 22 so I was only a child when this was released. Discovered Alkaline Trio through some friends only a few years ago and has been hooked ever since. Crimson is easily one of my all time faouvrite albums!
You're absolutely damn right
@@NilsHedstromAre you French?
@@shawnryan2197 Nah, Swedish!
Crimson has their, in my opinion, two best songs by far. Love all their music but Sadie and Burn just...
They’re special.
Sadie is a GREAT song
Bloody Spotify has the wrong version of this on Crimson. Don't get me wrong, I love the version off the OMA split, but the strings in this version take it up a level!
Rob Graddage i thought the same thing. I was like, “Did they put the demo version on here!?!” This version is much more produced and polished.
More bass guitar in this version. For me this version is the best :) cheers
Yes this version of the mixing is no longer on Spotify or Apple Music and it’s lackluster
Still an amazing song in 2022
Always
Forever
Word from 2023 ✌
And 23
Rokin it into 2024 🔥
Still a great song 2024
This has been my favorite song my entire life. I find my self singing it all the time
This has to be the best song ever!!! Love this version!
They got rid of this version on Apple Music… does anyone know why?
@@DonosaurusMex I don't know but it's not on Spotify either. I was listening to the album and was like this is not what was on the original album lol had to come to youtube to find the best version!
Derek Grant is such a solid drummer. one of my faves.
so glad to see him back in action on this tour - one benefit of this tour being put off! He looks great and as great as ever
I think he’s the best musician in the band.
But I heard Dan play a sick lick live
I really love matt’s vocal sound and ‘feel’ in this record, just awesome 👏 👏
Mecha Mokki Matt’s peak vocals

Scary how this is a history song.
This song was my entire sophomore year
Holy fucking shit.
This song has held such a special place in my heart for so damn long.. and this is the very first time I've heard this version. I am shook.
This is so, so, so good.
Thank you
It's the first time you've heard the album version?? Zoomer man, I swear

I had the opposite problem as you. I grew up with this version then could only find the other version online and was missing this one until now ❤
@@mehhh8888Where I can find the other vertion ?
This version is by far the best. I have it on CD but wish I could get it on streaming.
It’s so weird, because this version is slightly different. I remember having the CD when I was younger and this version always sounded better than the only one available on streaming services
Take me back 2010 - ride my bike with friends and talk to that one girl across the street
Absolutely one of their finest moments.
Skiba Dan and Derek. Hats off to you sirs.💜🤘🕯️
And Heather 🤘💜
Definitely one of their best songs.
This song gives me chills
To make a seriously epic melody about the Manson murders is wild. There is a reason Alkaline Trio is my fav. There is a reason they are highly underrated. It takes intelligence and taste to be a fan.

FrogsMeow holy fuck I had no idea I fell extremely stupid wow.
At 3:15 hits me so deep. This has been the worst year of my life so far. I honestly don’t know how to get thru
Right there with you man. Rock bottom here without a doubt. You’re not alone.

this shit takes me back when life was about smoking weed and philosophies
Fucking hell I loved this song as a teenager, it's still amazing
i dont know how they dont have the recognition they deserve
If you get this notification, do you have any reflections on this comment?
This is perfection IMO. Incredible song.
I love the positive vibes posts on alkaline trio! The were a huge part of my teens and still love them into my 30s would love more.. i listen to matt and dans new stuff also but theres a nostalgic feeling to the og stuff…
Dan Andriano Backing vocals is Very AMAZING
I hadn’t even realized it was him
I read "Helter Skeltzer" because of this song. Love you guys so much ❤
One if my favorite songs period. And fave Alk Trio one!

I noticed this and this video has such a better recording of this amazing song.
Thank you so much for making me feel less crazy.
cant stop listening to this
Gosh I remember waiting for this album to come out & hearing this for the first time, ow time flies 🥺
Gets me every time 😭❤
Freakin Perfection
This song is 15 years old today
20 now
THE NOSTALGIA RUSHING IN
From 3:10 on I always get shivers!
this is why I still have faith in our species
This was my introduction to Alk3. I fell in love with Crimson and went from there.
How have i never heard this my names Sadie 🤦♀️❤️
their very best.
Obrigado por fazer cover dessa música, Andy Black
Educate yourself with the Manson Family and the murders, then listen to this song - so much better and more interesting than it already is.
Yeah, it's obvious the writer knows the story backwards and foward. He takes it to a philosophic, poetic, and melodic level. And the details, both direct and simple: bloody clothes, knives, Charlie's broken .22; and complex, almost apologetic and mysterious: "for all they've put you through." ????

I was named after this song, so I tell people I was named after sadie g and once I explain who she is they look scared and I smile in triumph and pride
Wow my wife is 11 months pregnant and we're going to name our baby after this song, and because we love the name too.
Im named after this too and i say “im named after a song” and everyone assumes the Beetles song
Yeah but I get you don't look like her.
Played it live in Eugene, OR back in God knows how long ago. But perfect.
Love this song so much. Thanks Jessica.
Way better than original version.. Sound, guitar, voice, drums, everything
love this song
Different version on Spotify - Came to hear the original 😊
This is, without a doubt, Alkaline Trio's magnum opus. Well at least the version off the BYO: One Man Army split. This is good too
Definitely one of my all time favorites.
I wanna say debatable because this whole album rocked my socks off. I have no socks. I'm sockless.
This album got completely shit on by the alkaline trio "purists". It's not my favorite, but it's still fuckin awesome
0:31 Beautiful voice
Make them thankful for every breath.

Best song ever 🕵
You're on your own my little nightmare you cannot stay here
It's far too bright for you
If they attack you just lay there,
Play dead dear, it's your only hope of pulling through.
And seconds they seem like a lifetime.
A dream, recurring, a dream that can't come true.
And they'll pin it all on you
After all you've been put through.
"Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. is losing
Every opportunity to put us all away.
You're on your own my little nightmare.
Your job is done here.
You've scared them all to death.
If they revive them just sit there.
Just smile dear. Make them thankful for every breath.
The sentence may seem like a lifetime, a scream, that curdling the blood they found on you.
And your knives and clothing too.
Charlie's broken .22
"Sadie G. she's crazy, see?"
That's what the white coats say.
Now Ms. Susan A. You're losing,
Every opportunity.
Well they found you and they shipped you up the river the same way that you've bound and gaged.
You've shot and stab.
You tried to set them free, but they've thrown away the keys.
"I think that if I found a god to me that was so beautiful that I'd do anything for him.

Whoa
you scared em all to death. If they revive just sit there, make them thankful for every breath. My favorite line
I just watched once upon a time in hollywood and put two and two together lol
I just watched the movie and came to listen the song and searched for anyone who made the same.
The film let me down, I was hoping for the Manson Murders film we were all wanting
Classic Always
Scream "let's go" right around 3:40 as the pick slides. it's so fitting before that epic ending carries you away
But it didn't fit the song's lyrical atmosphere
03:10 "Watching her behaviour - bold and actressy in court, cute and mincing when making eyeplay with someone, I get the feeling that one day she might start screaming, and simply never stop."
My song 01 sadie crazy 😻
Reading “Helter Skelter” right now and just HAD to hear my favorite Alkaline Trio song of all time. It’s so amazing!
Thanks for educating me , ppl
Nick Whitehead same I’m such in shock rn after finding out the meaning of the song, I thought it was a love song 😂
Amazing song.
Still here 2025 rip Gio
One of the suggestions it gives me on the side is Ke$ha's "Your Love is My Drug." What the hell?
to the ends of our worlds to the end of our ideals, he his church was a lune and killed love
Neil Young's "Revolution Blues" is still the best song about the Manson Family
Its about Susan Atkins aka Sadie one of the members of the family
Crimson was Alkaline trio’s peak album
Uma obra prima
he represent god to me
I've been diagnosed with it. I just know I am not mentally there, just because a doctor tells me that, I don't know if i believe it or not. I do have anger issues, but learned to try to control them.

fun fact (but probably everyone knows) - Heather Gabel (Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!'s ex-wife) did the spoken word on the bridge
why isn't this version on Spotify ☹️
I thought I was the only one who noticed. They definitely re-recorded it and it doesn’t sound as good. Must have been a song rights thing. 😢
Cheers Jess
@Phsyconaut Actually the woman speaking is Heather Hannoura, who is the person that created the band's logo.
Is it a quote from Atkins?
@@brianmallen8887 it was all from her testimony.
0:00
Missed Sadie :(
Sadie is someone you know or the Sadie they are talking about?
The song, it was very special to me as a kid (sorry for the 5 years delay 😂)
Good Chicago band.
This my first time hearing them we got some good bands here in chicago
Neat! I always wondered why they mentioned Lake Michigan in one of their songs. I find that awesome, since I live like 45 minutes away from Laks Michigan. I think their location may also contribute to the darkness of their music, similar to The Birthday Massacre. The great lakes region is woodsy and mysterious, especially in the winter, with all the swamps and deciduous forests around. It likely provides an eerie inspiration that bands from California just don't experience.
Also the song Aurora (lol) and "could walk straight back home to chicago", "north side bars", "if assholes could fly this place would be busier than o'hare" and such. Lots of chicago references.
THEYRE NOT FROM CHICAGO XD XD XD XD XD XD they're from McHenry , IL
When I first read this I thought you said Good Charlotte band 😂
Maybe it's just me but, I find the chord progression quite similar to The Killer's 'smile like you mean it"...
I think the exact same thing. Every time.
You're right. I try to do bass covers of some songs. I only try when I really like a song. First time I heard Smile like you mean it, I wanted to a cover. First time I heard this, I wanted to do the same.
It's pop punk, the chord progressions in these types of songs can always be found in countless other songs as well
So what you really mean is that The Killers' Smile Like You Mean It sounds like "Sadie" by Alkaline Trio? This was out before The Killer's track ... ;-D
I see “Smile like you mean it” does leave some sort of memory
🎶💜
Fuck I’ve missed this song
its not what they believe in that matters. its what you believe in. i mean these guys are just making a living and having fun with the music. no reason to freak out about their opinions
dang im crying
I’ve always preferred the demo version of this masterpiece. This song always did well did that raw edge left in the track.
sadieeeeeee
@skateboardsking3000
Probably because the quote from Susan Atkins references him :)
Tune such a
love u thx
put it on slowly for a creepy music thing
❤
Someone linked me to this on facebook. Don't quite understand what this song exactly means. But it was good.
it's about the manson family
Great Charles Manson song
@darkdevil424 True dat. God bless!
This wasn't from the '90s? I got this album when it first came out when I was about 12 so... about 2005
@darkdevil424 (cont.) i do feel it is necessary to learn about all and accept , and if that is able to happen then we might be able to live in a more peaceful world. but it does not seem like that will ever happen anytime soon.
love this version, the one on apple sucks!
temazo perro
