Enjoy each day you have because it may be your last. It is not your god given right to live, it is a blessing. Some people are not as lucky as and don't have another day and you never know if you do so don't waste it.
Excuse me. But if your born, it IS your God given right to live. that God chooses to take someone's life is their stuff. That doesn't mean the next guy doesn't have a right to live because for some reason you don't.
This song really puts things into perspective. Each day, as humans we just live without thinking or really trying. We take things for granted and don't think twice. But this song says if you were to die today, could you let go of yesterday peacefully? And for most of us the answer is no. Makes you truly think, I need to be better
I've found, this Song touches many different aspects of Life. Perhaps, more to the Choices we make? Live your own Life! Don't take the Path that Everyone else does. That reminds me that Everyone is just Faking their way through Life! Following the Leader? Whoever that might be? I know, I see many people stepping up, to have people follow them. Another point I noticed, Declaring you found Love. Scream & Shout it, not necessarily out loud? Lol But then again, why not? Basically saying to me, don't hide your Feelings! Life is too short, not to share how you feel. And we Never know? Tomorrow, might be Our last day? Last Important point, I'll go with. Processions. Giving away your last Dime. Of course there's also the picture. Don't bother looking at the Past. Look forward, Move forward! Just some of the things, I've picked up on. I felt this was a good place to Share! Peace
OK you're comment just got me now wat you're saying makes a lot of sense love you're comment that's something we have in common wish we could meet face to face you're comment is so nice I can tell you're a beautiful girl inside and out I would love to truly be with a girl like you
Unfortunately I have far too many dead family members and friends to ever take any life for granted, ever! Like I became the oldest living person in my family in 2003
This is why Nickelback is my favorite band and has been my entire life. They’re not just singing songs, they’re teaching life lessons and inspiring and helping people as well as providing music that can turn people’s day around
xXSuperXx, Not just words, true fact. Be thankful for the life you have and don't have. It took me a long time to want to live again and now I realize how precious life is. I truly wanted to die and the more I stuck that dope needle in my arm, the more I hurt, and I spiraled str8 down into a ghost. A shell of someone who use to exist. Learning to love living again is a gift we should never have to re-learn.✌️
LYRICS My best friend gave me the best advice He said each day's a gift and not a given right Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? If today was your last day Against the grain should be a way of life What's worth the prize is always worth the fight Every second counts 'cause there's no second try So live like you'll never live it twice Don't take the free ride in your own life If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce old memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day If today was your last day Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars Regardless of who you are So do whatever it takes 'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life Let nothin' stand in your way Cause the hands of time are never on your side If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past Donate every dime you have? Would you call old friends you never see? Reminisce old memories Would you forgive your enemies? Would you find that one you're dreamin' of? Swear up and down to God above That you finally fall in love If today was your last day
In October of 2011 my father died. I accepted it as he had been ill for quite a while. I went off the deep end and allowed meth to imprison me. Less than 60 days later I got slammed again. I had only heard one or two songs by Nickelback until December 11th and I played "If Today Was Your Last Day". I know listened to it least a dozen times and said aloud "Little sister, I hope you're right with God". At 2:42 my phone rang and a doctor told me that my little sister was not going to make it thru surgery. Of course I was devastated. Then I realized that the song was playing on my computer. And something told me (God) that Cheree was fine. She did live each day as if it were her last. We played the song at her funeral. Now I listen to ALL of Nickelback's songs. Truthfully, their awesome heart filled music greatly helped me thru the worst time in my life.
A shifty life is an understatement! My boyfriend if 15 years had a massive stroke last Friday morning and I held him in my arms as he died Sunday afternoon.
This song hits brutally different now that I’m diagnosed with a brainstem tumor that cannot be removed and really don’t know when it could take my life away. I really gotta live the rest of my life like today was my last day. This song will be my anthem.
I'm an almost 60 year old woman. My son is 26. I like Nickelback because my son listened to them growing up. However they also make me sad. I was going through rough times during that period. Things are better. But I do like their songs. Especially this one. All you young people need to remember any day can be your last day...holding grudges having regrets suck. Life goes by fast. And this situation we are in now is serious. Love one another
I agree. Life goes by too fast. Today could be anyone's last day. Too many of my classmates have died, some 20+ years ago. This song stands as one of my all-time go-to choices when I need to go 'deep inside' myself, and release negative thoughts. Nothing and no one is worth damaging your soul. Bee 🐝well, and thank you for sharing your story.
Why should this band be hated? This voice is indescribable. The instruments are so good, can't describe it. Well done and thank you so much, Nickelback!!!
In a time where most musicians sings about a lost love, a break up, a woman’s body parts, sex, ... there is only few who actually made time to sing about meaningful times, and inspirational messages. Nickelback is one of those. Please make another album! Thank you!
To be fair Nickelback has singed about all of the above at least once in their career (i could make a very special argument for the sex topic lol). But you are still right nonetheless.
Zakariae Kassour True. Although i will say as a Nickelback fan that the “Dark Horse” was a little over saturated with sex songs, one is alright, two is ok. Four? IDK i just feel like those could have been about something else. Don’t get the wrong idea. The songs themselves aren’t bad (hell i really enjoyed “next go round” and “Shakin’ hands”) i just believe that their spots could have been used by songs with other types of flow. Maybe another hard rock or ballad would not have hurt so much. But hey, Dark Horse did give us “Burn it to the ground” and “Just to get high” so i still liked the album for the most part Just throwing my 2 cents as a fan of them
Lmao dude you gotta be joking. Some of their songs are exactly about the things you listed. At least one of them is the reason people were hating on the band so much
This song helps me survive . I've lost two husbands ,raised three daughters ,start life over five times from the bottom , almost died many times , never turned to drugs ,out lived all my friends and I'm only 63 . I'm still going and raising my only grandchild now .
found out yesterday I have a brain tumor...I've been blasting this song all day just in tears. Idgaf if ppl dknt like their music this song gives me strength and motivation. keep living guys do let shit bring u down because u never know when life decides to turn on u...stay strong.
I'm so sorry, I understand this song gives me strength through everything, in 2008 my uncle died & I still jam out to it. & now my dad has Lyme disease so always thank god for your life, have a blessed day & I hope everything goes well for you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well for those of us in Alberta, for awhile, you really couldn't turn on the radio for awhile without hearing them, so we kinda got sick of them. I did, however, meet Daniel Adair at one point, and I thought he was a really nice guy.
This song changed my life. Since not going to college I've moved away to the mountains crossed the continent 4 times, learned and love to snowboard, bicycled across 4 countries traveld to like 14, bought and lived on a sail boat, learned to sail, worked 23 + different jobs... loading airplanes, making wine, dilivering in the mountains, world equestrian championship, driving snow cats, met so many fucking good people, lived in tents, hostels, back packs, beaches, cars, big citys, country towns, shared homes, slept on side walks and cliff edges. Lemme tell you it hasn't been easy but its been a life worth living much better then the year in the factory I worked back when I had nothing but my bicycle and a shitty appartement with my mom. This fucken song wrote the script to the life I chose. I listened to it on repeat all the time before fucking off and doing something. Taking my life in my own hands. Ignoring nay sayers and non-supportive peopl, to my benefit and demise. Rolled with the punches and if I wasn't dying had food and a good night sleep I was happy enough, even through missery there are laughs. Rant over I love this fucken song!
Nickelback got me through some of the roughest shit I've ever been through and gave me the courage to take that next step. Their lyrics are inspiring ✨️
@@Kymaad lots of radio play on some songs that were corporate like way to much radio play so it got really annoying then they acted like jack asses about some things and that just lit the fuse on the perfect storm of hate
I almost died in 2020, the clarity you get when you think that you are dying would help many people appreciate this song. Coz at death everything is so simple and straight forward.
Bro, I feel that on as an experience I also felt. At 17 I underwent a treatment for the disease I am still suffering from and I flatlined during it. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks after and for 2 months before it i was getting transfusions nearly daily. I feel you brother, best of luck man. 3 years and I still haven't forgotten the feeling.
I'm 57 and I LOVE Nickelback! My kids were teens during the years where Nickelback was new and I got to learn my kids music. Listening to Nickelback makes me remember my teenage kids on top of that, the band has so many outstanding songs. People who hate them follow a shitty trend & probably have NO idea why they "hate" them. They more than likely DO like them, and jam to them in private and "hate" them just to be a part of a trend.
I look at your display picture & i want to tell you are geourgeous ❤ beutiful from inside out⚘ .. With that beeing said 18 years ago I use to listen to them as a teen great memorys & deep meaningful song .. 100 years from now & this song ain't getting old . Have a blessed day my Queen 👑⚘
I had a teacher die yesterday due to cancer and she would play this song every morning before we started working she never got to live the life she talked about, she was only 53 this song will forever belong to her RIP Ms moeke you will be missed
As an addict in recovery (5 years 1 month 23 days sober as of today) both this song and especially Savin' Me did wonders giving me the strength to stay clean each day and continue to succeed.
My papa was in place of my dad when he passed. He passed 2 years ago and I woke up today thinking he was still alive. And i just cried and this song came on my fyp and The last time i heard this song i was like 10. Im 22 now. So much has chaged. I finally understand all the lessons he tried to teach me.
Love your words I’m 63 grandmother of two girls two years old one little boy six months just got divorced after 40 years don’t know what’s tomorrow I thought of this song and saw your words and hindsight is everything
Nickelback helped me with the life, I never had a courage to say the girl who I love what I felt to her, whoever she didn't want to have me like her boyfriend, but I'm fine.
I've lost both parents and I feel very strongly about the message he is telling. Tomorrow is not promised and we should live today as if it was our last.
I can't believe the fact that a few months after my favorite teacher showed us this in class and taught us the true meaning and why to appreciate life she passed away. The fact that she showed us this first doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. I believe she was a guide for many of us and before her time she gave us all one more lesson, be thankful. I just wanna say thank you Mrs. Dunphy for everything you have done for us all. We all love and will never forget you. Goodbye and may you rest in peace our loved and cherished teacher.
My Condolences! I've found, if people are willing to Listen, and Keep an Open Mind? Most People, can Teach me one thing or another! Some things are positive. Some things, just show me, what I don't want to do with my Life! Peace
"Each day is a gift and not a given right" Most of Nickleback's song have wisdom in their words.. There a form of experience in this world which most people can relate too!!
Man this song gets me every time I hear it. I was in a toxic relationship for years and the first time someone sent me this song, I wept when I heard the lyrics "Would you find that one you're dreaming of, swear up and down to God above that you'd finally fall in love?" I made a decision that day to find her, and now we have a wedding date set for May!
For those saying Nickelback is trash, I accomplished my dream of moving to Canada from Brazil thanks to this band. It also helped me a lot overcoming relationship struggles throughout the decades. Meaningful songs, life saving.
Fourteen years old and nickelback is my favorite rock artist. The lyrics of their songs have deeper meaning than most, the hatred that goes towards this band, they don’t deserve it. This song fits perfectly to the final chapters of a book I’m writing.
"Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars Regardless of who you are" really hits me deep inside..there's nothing compared to Nickelback.
I've forgiven everyone who has ever hurt me, and now I literally wanna donate everything I have. I don't need material things to make me happy..just love, and i wanna spread it to others:))
+Carla B My god, I cringe so hard whenever i hear somone say "i don't need material things/i don't need money to make me happy"..Tell me how are you gonna provide a home for yourself and your kids? How are you going to afford buying them something to eat, something to wear?
+Cata Sempai those are not material things per say..those are necessities. I was speaking more like going shopping for clothes i don't need or buying expensive makeup, getting my hair and nails done etc. so no need to cringe my friend;)
+Carla B Either you are very sick or black thoughts now witch one is it ? If its Sickness i feel really bad for you. If its Black thoughts find help asap.
I'm here with my husband playing this song.He is the one who introduced it to me. I love this man unconditionally the same way he loves me. He is telling me that if this was his last day since I love being in his arms he would only keep me in them until I fall asleep, waking up I find him forever gone😭💔.
I just lost my fiancé yesterday. Not being able to hold her or tell her how pretty she is, is the absolute worst. So many memories in my home and now it’s so quite without her. We had so many big plans and this year was going to be our years.
@@turnupforjesus3007 I lost mine in March 2022. Heart attack in his sleep at the age of 48. We were gona get married on Halloween and do things we couldnt do over Covid. I miss him every day. I wish i could tell you the pain gets better in time but i still feel the gaping hole that was my love but it gets easier to handle as time goes on. I hope you have some good support and i wish you only the best. From 1 widow to another, take care of yourself, make sure to eat and drink often even if you dont feel the need to, rest, reach out if it gets too much and lean on those that are willing. I am so sorry you have joined this awful club.
My dad passed away 4 months ago and I inherited his nickelback collection. Whenever I miss him, I just pop some nickelback and it eases my pain in that moment! This is not goodbye forever, just see you later! RIP DADDY! I miss you so much!
I love the song and the meaning behind it. I had lost my father in the 90's, and I wish I could have gotten the chance to tell him I loved him before he passed. My last words to him that I Still regret to this day were "I hate you". Not realizing that that would be the final time I would get to talk to him. Now I make sure to tell those I love that I love them. Like the song says, what If today was your last day? What would you say to those you love? Would you do anything differently before you're gone? Make your last days on this earth count and tell those you love, "I love you". I love the honesty in their songs. You can feel it when they sing. I will always be a NB fan.
I just HAD to go look! That's too cool!! Thanks for sharing, you looked FABULOUS! I cant tell you how many times I go to this, it's a song that truly revives my soul, and makes me realize how extremely important every single day, every single person, and how every single choice we make should be done with a drive to love, have passion, compassion, sweetness, sincere kindness, forgiveness, care, humility laughter, patience, and making this world a better place knowing that our time here passes in a blink of an eye. You are an AWESOME lady Tara! Keep living it up girl!!!
@@connordavis2491 I like that! I'm torn between that, and this. Be Present, in the Present. Yesterday is Gone. Tomorrow, Never gets here. It's Always, the Present
Never undestanded why so many ppl hate this Band? Okay some songs sounds quite the same, but they are also not bad so whats the problem. Atleast they often have a meaning!
they don't sound similar at all, just listen to How You Remind Me, and compare it to this. Nothing a like. At all. Also, I'm gonna be that annoying perfectionist that corrects your mistakes *I never understood why people hate this band. Ok, so maybe some of their songs sound the same, but at least they sound good, so it shouldn't be a problem, at least they put a message into their songs! There. Grammar. Take it.
***** No problem. alsenar2 Sorry I didn't know. Sorry for the warning I put. Sorry for at least joking beforehand. Sorry for being myself. Sorry for trying to lighten the mood. Sorry for doing it before someone else did. Happy?
TCFan7890 If that is your way to 'lighten the mood' and making a joke, let me give you a suggestion. Don't do comedy. The point of it is to be funny. You failed with that pretty hard.
I've listened to this song for years but it hit harder after losing my sister this past November. Especially the lines about calling old friends and reminiscing and the hands of time never being on your side. Cherish your loved ones. Really cherish them.
Whoever doesn't like Nickelback doesn't have a sense of good music, like really? I use to listen to song ALL the time, my dad loved Nickelback so I listened to their songs a lot. I love Nickelback, i actually haven't been listening to it until now, it's a great childhood memory for me and a memory of my dad who I lost last year (the reason I haven't listened to them for a while). Nickelback has meaning in their songs, this song "If Today Was Your Last Day" for instance, and "When We Stand Together" is another song I love. Why so much hate? Nickelback has way better songs than some popstars today, with most (by most, I mean majority) of those songs today having inappropriate meaning.. you call that "good" songs?
Time is the gift. People say "Time is money", But there's a major difference, money is a renewable resource, it comes and goes in life, time only moves in one direction. Using ones talents to bring the truth, not jive trends on the pop scene is commendable, and more original.(artistic)Thanks for the positive change Nickle-back!
+jeffrey Skelton Time is money in a way.....but when you use all of your time to get money instead of spending time with those you love or to lend a helping hand,then that's sad. People need to know the difference before it's too late.
This song is the best life advice you will ever get! Toss Baz Lurhman Suncreen on the same play list, and just keep repeating these songs until you get it. This song is directly responsible for me getting through my divorce, when I thought life was over. Thanks Nickelback!!
As a paramedic I can confirm the part "each day's a gift and not a given right".. life is too short for being sad, angry and all that negative stuff. Enjoy each day, and your life! You'll never know when your time has come and we'll meet ;-) greetings from Germany, stay safe out there
hallo wie gehts es.. former emt Firefighter. was a dream of mine to do it sadly it is in the past. but you have it absolutely correct. Live people stop giving up on yourselves. this song has been a catalyst for me. I got to renw a very meaningful friendship what made decide to was this song. she and i are enjoying our friendship much more now than ever. if hadnt followed that advice i wouldnt have her in my life today.
Love love love Nickelback! Always have and am glad I didn’t know for some time about the hatred conspiracy. Meaningful lyrics and I love their sound and singing voices.
About a month ago I lost my brother in a four wheeler crash, and we’ve been looking in his stuff for a while a decided to turn on his speaker he always had, and well this song just started playing, and I was just in awe about how of all songs this song with this meaning was the last song he ever listened to.
I wish more people would actually listen to this song. In this world of impatient people rushing through each day, they don't stop to think that they are inevitably hurrying along to the end of their lives. Not one of us is promised tomorrow. We could go to bed angry & never wake up to make amends or not kiss our loved ones before walking out the door, only to not make it back home later. My husband was in a crappy Rehab Center during Covid, he didn't have it, nor did I, but I didn't get to visit him the last 3 weeks of his life. All he wanted to do was get his rehab time done & come home, but instead he died alone. Neither of us even suspected that he wouldn't make it.
@@idlecuriosity it's sad that people agree with this. I am not a Nickelback Fan and listen to their whole discography to have my own opinion afterwards. Feed the Machine is their best Album IMO, the betrayal act 1 and 3 are very very good Songs. But I still don't like nickelback as a whole because of various reasons. This does not make me bad and self - hating Person. I love opeth, dream Theater and Insomnium for example. You are not better than dumb nickelback haters when you agree to the comment above. Just saying.....
"If today was your last day, would you make your mark by mending a broken heart." - As a stupid kid thinking about suicide back then, something about this line made me redirect my negative energy towards helping people and it literally saved my life.
This song truly stayed in my heart after my Son passed away from Cancer .. wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to do good for others like in this video . I try on a smaller scale , but if we all tried many of the things in these lyrics , I think we could all make a positive difference in the world , and for our loved ones !!! Love these guys 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
Losing a child is the most heartbreaking thing that can happen to a parent. I lost my beloved daughter almost 6 years ago. I loved her and can never "get over it". She was imperfect, as we all are, but a genuinely caring and sweet person. I pray she's somehow in a better place and I'll see her again. None of us knows. Be kind and forgiving to those in your life, Nothing is gained by resentment. Estrangement from family and friends is hateful and a huge waste of time and energy, It makes everyone miserable - and for what?
God Bless buddy. I just lost my 1st cousin that I grew up with to cancer this month and his mom a few years back to cancer. Stay strong. Our time is short on this earth, just love and live everyday with purpose. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to say a silent prayer for you and your brother tonite. Regardless of the outcome of his illness, he will eventually be free of it for good. I really believe that with all my heart my friend.
I'll never be able to stand against Nickelback, I love their music and Chad's voice is awesome sounding. They have such an instantly recognizable sound and that's what really makes them unique and special in my opinion. Plus their lyrics are very inspirational and I'm sure have helped plenty of people through tough times. God bless Nickelback forever 😇😇
@@javiermella1598 You still can ease your pain by focusing on thing which will ultimately be better for you. It won't wash them away but will certainly help you feel better.
Javier Mella There’s always something you can do about it. Shitty things happen all the time in life. Sometimes it happens to you, sometimes you cause it. If it happens to you, then it’s on you to keep yourself in a positive state of mind. If you do it, then it’s on you to learn from it and not fall into that spiral trap of history repeating itself. It’s okay to be upset, sad, or angry but you can’t just let it become who you are. Any situation that may befall you is the catalyst to how you choose to go on with your life. Will you let it bring you to the bottom of a bottle and a pit of absolute agony? Or will you let it bring you to the job interview of your dreams and a goodnight’s sleep in a warm bed?
I watched this video for so many years with a dear friend, sadly he is no longer here and when I watch this video I cry inside knowing we no longer share the memories of watching Nickelback videos and enjoying learning their new music together. RIP Tim Sutton...
R.I.P, Sounds like an amazing guy, and a perfect friend! Not many of those people left in this world, he left his mark, many respects for you and Tom. :) X
He may not be physically here with you, but never give up hope on your best friend!! Keep him in your everyday actions, thoughts, dreams and in your heart forever. Watch the nickelback videos especially during a bad day and reminisce of all the great happy times that you and him had!! Hold them close forever. So sorry to hear of your loss. I know how you feel.
Alan, that is awesome. I hope the lyrics touch people as much as they have with me. I know my family and friends are probably tired of hearing it, but there's something about this song that sticks with me.
My best friend gave me the best advice He said each day's a gift and not a given right Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind And try to take the path less traveled by That first step you take is the longest stride If today was your last day And tomorrow was too late Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

So crazy that every song they have made strikes the core so much, and means a lot in every way possible. I Just love this band so much I grew up listing to them & It's even crazier now that I'm a little older things make lots of sense now. Life is so precious It's beautiful being here for a certain amount time & this song just reminds me to be a great person in ever way possible cause life isn't always promised. This song is literally the way I live my life. Have fun, travel, meet different people, help others out, put a smile on someone's face, don't be so hard on yourself, never lie, do the right thing, spend time with loved ones, don't let money control you, REMEBER THE INTERNET IS FAKE IT'S UP TO YOU TO MAKE YOU OWN REALITY, WITH LOVE AND POSITIVTY LOVE YOUR FRIENDS AND KEEP THEM CLOSE! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
I think about this song everyday. It's not only one of my favorite songs, it's makes me realize that I need to go on living no matter what circumstances I'll face down the road and to help people in need more often. Even during these troubling times, people need to think about what if today was your last day? What would you do?
Not sure if you were asking a question? Or making a Point? Either way, my response to you. I'm currently 54 years old. Earlier in my Life, very Troubling times for me! And my mind wandered to the Film, It's a Wonderful Life. And I did, actually ask, several times that I would have Never been Born. That I Never Existed at All. And then, as I was contemplating my Death. I was shown different things that happened during my time here. The people I had helped. A thought came into my Head, Not my own! I don't know who/what? But I was in a really LOW DARK PLACE! What would have happened to those people, had I Never been Born? Just that question. No Alternate Realities. Lol! So I started to think about that. And then I realized, I've had an Important Impact on many people. Even more now! Direct Impacts on Thousands of people. From what I've been told, I have been used as an example of what people are capable of. Some of those Stories, are really weird for me to hear! I'm somewhat Stable now.I was Diagnosed with Severe Depression. When I'm unable to bounce back to Reality on my own, I sometimes require Meds to help me! Nothing long term. Although my Older Sister has said, I should consider that. Depression runs in my Family! At this very Moment, I'm trying to figure out my next Move? A Plan I had made fell through. I'm OK, kinda sorta. Not at risk right now. But I don't have a Direction to move forward. That's what I'm looking for. What Direction should I go? I've got a decent paying Job. I'm not Challenged here anymore. That's a bad thing, for me!!! My Plan, would have addressed that issue, at least for 2 years! And I would have gained valuable Training in the process. Now? I don't know? I do realize Everything happens for a Reason! For the Life of me, I can't figure out what that Reason is? So I'm stuck, spinning my wheels, going Nowhere! Sorry to unload all of this! Sometimes, it helps to get things in the open. Even if it's not, someone I know. I'm not sure why? It's not as if, I'm expecting an answer from you or anyone else. I suppose it's something of a venting process? The Answer will come to me, it Always does! Be well! Peace
Each day is a gift from the Lord… Live in peace, harmony, and gratitude for who he is, what he’s done and who he created you to be and what you’ve done or are going to do.
This song is deep. If you really listen to it you would know, this song is very true. Don't dislike it, for it is very true for life. You only live once.
Fdfd we can love me Dawson and I'll get it to you love ❤️♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️❤️♥️♥️❤️♥️ g vs me know if you need anything else from me please let me know if you think of anything else we need to do to get
The Trend of hating on Nickelback is so stupid. Their songs are beautiful and there are also some meaningful lyrics.
its hard to play maybe thats why lol
@@Willxdiana It’s easy to play
@@Willxdiana The song is four chords mate...
Badgasaurus that doesn’t matter. Wonderwall has 5.
Try singing along too. Unless you just play it.
Enjoy each day you have because it may be your last. It is not your god given right to live, it is a blessing. Some people are not as lucky as and don't have another day and you never know if you do so don't waste it.
Agreed!!!!!!!!!! Appreciate what you have because it may vanish in a moment
Amen
Excuse me. But if your born, it IS your God given right to live. that God chooses to take someone's life is their stuff. That doesn't mean the next guy doesn't have a right to live because for some reason you don't.
It is our right to live because we chose to BE!
Hope this reply reminds you of what you said and your having a great life, making each day count :)
This song really puts things into perspective. Each day, as humans we just live without thinking or really trying. We take things for granted and don't think twice. But this song says if you were to die today, could you let go of yesterday peacefully? And for most of us the answer is no. Makes you truly think, I need to be better
I've found, this Song touches many different aspects of Life. Perhaps, more to the Choices we make?
Live your own Life! Don't take the Path that Everyone else does. That reminds me that Everyone is just Faking their way through Life! Following the Leader? Whoever that might be?
I know, I see many people stepping up, to have people follow them.
Another point I noticed, Declaring you found Love. Scream & Shout it, not necessarily out loud? Lol
But then again, why not? Basically saying to me, don't hide your Feelings! Life is too short, not to share how you feel. And we Never know? Tomorrow, might be Our last day?
Last Important point, I'll go with. Processions. Giving away your last Dime. Of course there's also the picture. Don't bother looking at the Past. Look forward, Move forward!
Just some of the things, I've picked up on. I felt this was a good place to Share!
Peace
OK you're comment just got me now wat you're saying makes a lot of sense love you're comment that's something we have in common wish we could meet face to face you're comment is so nice I can tell you're a beautiful girl inside and out I would love to truly be with a girl like you
Unfortunately I have far too many dead family members and friends to ever take any life for granted, ever! Like I became the oldest living person in my family in 2003
On many levels that is very true I would agree with that
I would say yes and no.
I'm 72 and still rocking with Nickelback. Rember its never to late and I will rock with them until the last day.
You are so on it! Love 💕 your message! 😎
I'm 63. Nickelback is always in regular rotation in the car and my playlists ❤
Nickelback is partly to blame for so of my hearing loss.😂😂🤘🤘
a mere youngster at 58...but I am with you...
Just turned 66yo... still rocking Nickelback!
This is why Nickelback is my favorite band and has been my entire life. They’re not just singing songs, they’re teaching life lessons and inspiring and helping people as well as providing music that can turn people’s day around
😊
Total right. Life lessions
Same here
That's right and they are singing Christian lyrics
I can not believe its been 12 years
But still putting there sings on repeat
“my bestfriend gave me, the best advice, he said each days a gift and not a given right” hit hard 🤜🏽🤛🏽

It's from the Bible, actually...
I hear "I am best at gaming, the best in life"
"Each day's a gift and not a given right" that message still gets to me
same
Same
So true
xXSuperXx, Not just words, true fact. Be thankful for the life you have and don't have. It took me a long time to want to live again and now I realize how precious life is. I truly wanted to die and the more I stuck that dope needle in my arm, the more I hurt, and I spiraled str8 down into a ghost. A shell of someone who use to exist. Learning to love living again is a gift we should never have to re-learn.✌️
You gotta cherish them your here today but tomorrow you your friend your family could be gone never know what can happen
LYRICS
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
Thank you for text bro!
In October of 2011 my father died. I accepted it as he had been ill for quite a while. I went off the deep end and allowed meth to imprison me. Less than 60 days later I got slammed again. I had only heard one or two songs by Nickelback until December 11th and I played "If Today Was Your Last Day". I know listened to it least a dozen times and said aloud "Little sister, I hope you're right with God". At 2:42 my phone rang and a doctor told me that my little sister was not going to make it thru surgery. Of course I was devastated. Then I realized that the song was playing on my computer. And something told me (God) that Cheree was fine. She did live each day as if it were her last. We played the song at her funeral. Now I listen to ALL of Nickelback's songs. Truthfully, their awesome heart filled music greatly helped me thru the worst time in my life.
That's great that you found something to help you, enjoy it man
Justin Tyme you gotta shitty life, you got fucking guts
A shifty life is an understatement! My boyfriend if 15 years had a massive stroke last Friday morning and I held him in my arms as he died Sunday afternoon.
He was only 33 years old
Justin Tyme, this made me cry 😢
This song hits brutally different now that I’m diagnosed with a brainstem tumor that cannot be removed and really don’t know when it could take my life away. I really gotta live the rest of my life like today was my last day. This song will be my anthem.
I hope you're still here with us and are living your life knowing you are loved ❤️
I wish you the best life you can have 💗
For real. ❤
God willing you are still here blasting your anthem!!!! My prayers and love are with you!!!
Hope you're living your life to the fullest. We're all behind you.
I'm an almost 60 year old woman. My son is 26. I like Nickelback because my son listened to them growing up. However they also make me sad. I was going through rough times during that period. Things are better. But I do like their songs. Especially this one. All you young people need to remember any day can be your last day...holding grudges having regrets suck. Life goes by fast. And this situation we are in now is serious. Love one another
I remember my son playing will the real slim shaddy please stand up .
I agree. Life goes by too fast. Today could be anyone's last day. Too many of my classmates have died, some 20+ years ago. This song stands as one of my all-time go-to choices when I need to go 'deep inside' myself, and release negative thoughts. Nothing and no one is worth damaging your soul. Bee 🐝well, and thank you for sharing your story.
Why should this band be hated?
This voice is indescribable. The instruments are so good, can't describe it.
Well done and thank you so much, Nickelback!!!
In a time where most musicians sings about a lost love, a break up, a woman’s body parts, sex, ... there is only few who actually made time to sing about meaningful times, and inspirational messages.
Nickelback is one of those. Please make another album! Thank you!
To be fair Nickelback has singed about all of the above at least once in their career (i could make a very special argument for the sex topic lol).
But you are still right nonetheless.
Mauricio Reyes Muñoz Oh I know, but still, you won’t find a whole album talking only about that.
Zakariae Kassour
True. Although i will say as a Nickelback fan that the “Dark Horse” was a little over saturated with sex songs, one is alright, two is ok. Four? IDK i just feel like those could have been about something else. Don’t get the wrong idea. The songs themselves aren’t bad (hell i really enjoyed “next go round” and “Shakin’ hands”) i just believe that their spots could have been used by songs with other types of flow. Maybe another hard rock or ballad would not have hurt so much.
But hey, Dark Horse did give us “Burn it to the ground” and “Just to get high” so i still liked the album for the most part
Just throwing my 2 cents as a fan of them
So THAT’S why everyone hates them.
Lmao dude you gotta be joking. Some of their songs are exactly about the things you listed. At least one of them is the reason people were hating on the band so much
This song helps me survive . I've lost two husbands ,raised three daughters ,start life over five times from the bottom , almost died many times , never turned to drugs ,out lived all my friends and I'm only 63 . I'm still going and raising my only grandchild now .
I commend you. The universe is proud of you
You are a strong woman 💜
Restaurants honey I love you
i'm a grandchild of a suicided mom, stay strong you are worth more than you even imagine
I believe God has a purpose for all of us, raising your granddaughter is a good one. Much admiration to you.
found out yesterday I have a brain tumor...I've been blasting this song all day just in tears. Idgaf if ppl dknt like their music this song gives me strength and motivation. keep living guys do let shit bring u down because u never know when life decides to turn on u...stay strong.
I'm so sorry, I understand this song gives me strength through everything, in 2008 my uncle died & I still jam out to it. & now my dad has Lyme disease so always thank god for your life, have a blessed day & I hope everything goes well for you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow. Last year, my grandfather died from lung cancer. That experience has changed my life forever.
prayers and u do what gives you hope and keeps your faith. i love this song
+live another day I'm so sorry. I know I'm late, but I hope you get through this. stay strong through it all, I believe you can make it through this.
+live another day Hey, i know it's not just a flu, but hope you'll get better :D
Nickel back please don’t ever stop making music, you’re touching more than you will ever know
I will never understand the hate for this group. I love this group. They have some of my favorite songs.
Stg just said the same thing word for word 😂
Well for those of us in Alberta, for awhile, you really couldn't turn on the radio for awhile without hearing them, so we kinda got sick of them. I did, however, meet Daniel Adair at one point, and I thought he was a really nice guy.
It is/was trendy to hate them. I personally don't. I think they have some great songs.
I think the hate is really toward the lead singer. I love this band. Them songs gets me up when I am down somedays.
what exactly did the "lead singer" do? @@anthoyify
Don't care about the haters ! Nickelback is a part of my nostalgia !
Yeah, I'm from Australia, love this band, seen something about other countries don't them,. Why
Fuck the haters nickelback is good at its own way and i love it
Jealous people hating. Nickelback Rocks!
There's this comedian like why does everyone hate guy fiery like he was nickelback?! By the way what the hell did nickelback do?! Lol fr
So is scratching your ass.
This song literally changed my life. I broke off a 5 year relationship in order to be happy again. Havent felt this good in years.
Proud of you for doing that! Its not easy. I know cuz I did that too!! But once its done you feel so empowered!!
Good job
Not easy to do but sometimes the best thing
Thank yall so much♡
Me too friend..! Never been this much happy in my life
2023 and still listening to Nickelback. The song reminds me about giving our best in everything, each day we have as if it's our last day.
2024 & still listening! Means a lot, especially after just buried best friend
HALLO Pamela , you read from my Hard .

This song changed my life. Since not going to college I've moved away to the mountains crossed the continent 4 times, learned and love to snowboard, bicycled across 4 countries traveld to like 14, bought and lived on a sail boat, learned to sail, worked 23 + different jobs... loading airplanes, making wine, dilivering in the mountains, world equestrian championship, driving snow cats, met so many fucking good people, lived in tents, hostels, back packs, beaches, cars, big citys, country towns, shared homes, slept on side walks and cliff edges. Lemme tell you it hasn't been easy but its been a life worth living much better then the year in the factory I worked back when I had nothing but my bicycle and a shitty appartement with my mom. This fucken song wrote the script to the life I chose. I listened to it on repeat all the time before fucking off and doing something. Taking my life in my own hands. Ignoring nay sayers and non-supportive peopl, to my benefit and demise. Rolled with the punches and if I wasn't dying had food and a good night sleep I was happy enough, even through missery there are laughs. Rant over I love this fucken song!
Brilliant, good for you
Respect, really
Props to you good soul.
just wow
happy for and with you
And that my friend is a life well lived 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪
Nickelback got me through some of the roughest shit I've ever been through and gave me the courage to take that next step. Their lyrics are inspiring ✨️
Amen to that 🙏🏼
Me too ❤
Me too.😌
I'll just say it, Nickelback doesn't deserve any hate. This song has a really great message.
na they deserve some hate but for sure not as much as they got.
Thank you. Great message! 🙂
@@hardwirecars they really don't though kid you just like dickriding the trend because it makes you feel important lol
Can someone help me, I didn’t know this band before, why did they got a wave of hate ? Is there a reason ?
@@Kymaad lots of radio play on some songs that were corporate like way to much radio play so it got really annoying then they acted like jack asses about some things and that just lit the fuse on the perfect storm of hate
Each day is a gift not a given right. This is why Nickleback rocks.
I almost died in 2020, the clarity you get when you think that you are dying would help many people appreciate this song. Coz at death everything is so simple and straight forward.
glad your alive and breathing brother!
And also be ready
#metoo and a few times before it was a game I played with my brother as a kid or I probably wouldve died at 33 I'm almost 45
Bro, I feel that on as an experience I also felt. At 17 I underwent a treatment for the disease I am still suffering from and I flatlined during it. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks after and for 2 months before it i was getting transfusions nearly daily. I feel you brother, best of luck man. 3 years and I still haven't forgotten the feeling.

You're not alone friend, I do too all the time but stay strong :)
Ethan Peach me too. :(
I'm 57 and I LOVE Nickelback! My kids were teens during the years where Nickelback was new and I got to learn my kids music. Listening to Nickelback makes me remember my teenage kids on top of that, the band has so many outstanding songs. People who hate them follow a shitty trend & probably have NO idea why they "hate" them. They more than likely DO like them, and jam to them in private and "hate" them just to be a part of a trend.
I look at your display picture & i want to tell you are geourgeous ❤ beutiful from inside out⚘ ..
With that beeing said 18 years ago I use to listen to them as a teen great memorys & deep meaningful song .. 100 years from now & this song ain't getting old .
Have a blessed day my Queen 👑⚘
It's truly sad how bad today's music is in comparison! Nickelback will always be legends in my book!
Surviving from brain cancer, still love this song. Good for the soul music.
how are you doing?
Surviving from leukemia and a bone marrow transplant. I'm right there with you❤
I had a teacher die yesterday due to cancer and she would play this song every morning before we started working she never got to live the life she talked about, she was only 53
this song will forever belong to her RIP Ms moeke you will be missed
sorry for your loss, stay strong my friend.
Then keep her memories she sounds like an amazing teacher sorry for your loss
Rip 🙏
Rest in peace Teach
oh wow
As an addict in recovery (5 years 1 month 23 days sober as of today) both this song and especially Savin' Me did wonders giving me the strength to stay clean each day and continue to succeed.
@Paul that is true. Thank you for the kind words

keep it up my friend i believe in you
My papa was in place of my dad when he passed. He passed 2 years ago and I woke up today thinking he was still alive. And i just cried and this song came on my fyp and The last time i heard this song i was like 10. Im 22 now. So much has chaged. I finally understand all the lessons he tried to teach me.
I’m sorry for your loss. I always ask myself what if today was my last day?
Love your words I’m 63 grandmother of two girls two years old one little boy six months just got divorced after 40 years don’t know what’s tomorrow I thought of this song and saw your words and hindsight is everything
Nickelback is a great band and this song has meaningful lyrics . Never take life for granted . Live life to the fullest. Tomorrow is not promised
Once again, thanks Chad, every time I want to make me cry, it is enough to find a Nickelback's song I've never heard, and I cry... Thank you so much
Nickelback helped me with the life, I never had a courage to say the girl who I love what I felt to her, whoever she didn't want to have me like her boyfriend, but I'm fine.

I can't believe the fact that a few months after my favorite teacher showed us this in class and taught us the true meaning and why to appreciate life she passed away. The fact that she showed us this first doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. I believe she was a guide for many of us and before her time she gave us all one more lesson, be thankful. I just wanna say thank you Mrs. Dunphy for everything you have done for us all. We all love and will never forget you. Goodbye and may you rest in peace our loved and cherished teacher.
My Condolences!
I've found, if people are willing to Listen, and Keep an Open Mind? Most People, can Teach me one thing or another! Some things are positive. Some things, just show me, what I don't want to do with my Life!

2020 and I still listen to this daily. This isn’t just a song, this is a life lesson. Beautiful music
I couldn't agree more
Here here
Guillermo Rivas same here
So do I love it
I have to say right now we're living every moment like our laugh and this song helps us realize what sad details are
"Each day is a gift and not a given right" Most of Nickleback's song have wisdom in their words.. There a form of experience in this world which most people can relate too!!
Man this song gets me every time I hear it. I was in a toxic relationship for years and the first time someone sent me this song, I wept when I heard the lyrics "Would you find that one you're dreaming of, swear up and down to God above that you'd finally fall in love?" I made a decision that day to find her, and now we have a wedding date set for May!
thats lovely i hope ur wedding was amazing
For those saying Nickelback is trash, I accomplished my dream of moving to Canada from Brazil thanks to this band. It also helped me a lot overcoming relationship struggles throughout the decades. Meaningful songs, life saving.
12 years after this song was released and I'm still listening. One of their best!
Says alot about you!!!
What! This is over 12 years old?! Just discovered this
And still resharing it on Facebook
yep me too,masterpiece what else to say!
Such a beutifull song speak about so many things.
And you should all remember forgive you'r enemies ❤
God Bless you All
Christ be with you ❤
OMG I LOVE THIS SONG SO INSPIRING
Fourteen years old and nickelback is my favorite rock artist. The lyrics of their songs have deeper meaning than most, the hatred that goes towards this band, they don’t deserve it. This song fits perfectly to the final chapters of a book I’m writing.
"Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart? You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars Regardless of who you are" really hits me deep inside..there's nothing compared to Nickelback.
I've forgiven everyone who has ever hurt me, and now I literally wanna donate everything I have. I don't need material things to make me happy..just love, and i wanna spread it to others:))
+Carla B My god, I cringe so hard whenever i hear somone say "i don't need material things/i don't need money to make me happy"..Tell me how are you gonna provide a home for yourself and your kids? How are you going to afford buying them something to eat, something to wear?
+Cata Sempai those are not material things per say..those are necessities. I was speaking more like going shopping for clothes i don't need or buying expensive makeup, getting my hair and nails done etc. so no need to cringe my friend;)
+speedy gonzalez how about some tacos instead;))

Yep
This is by far the most inspiration song I've heard my entire life. Resonates with every aspect of being human. Thanks Nickelback, I'm forever a fan!
I'm here with my husband playing this song.He is the one who introduced it to me. I love this man unconditionally the same way he loves me. He is telling me that if this was his last day since I love being in his arms he would only keep me in them until I fall asleep, waking up I find him forever gone😭💔.
That's heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time
Just shut up
I just lost my fiancé yesterday. Not being able to hold her or tell her how pretty she is, is the absolute worst. So many memories in my home and now it’s so quite without her. We had so many big plans and this year was going to be our years.
@@turnupforjesus3007 I lost mine in March 2022. Heart attack in his sleep at the age of 48. We were gona get married on Halloween and do things we couldnt do over Covid. I miss him every day. I wish i could tell you the pain gets better in time but i still feel the gaping hole that was my love but it gets easier to handle as time goes on. I hope you have some good support and i wish you only the best. From 1 widow to another, take care of yourself, make sure to eat and drink often even if you dont feel the need to, rest, reach out if it gets too much and lean on those that are willing. I am so sorry you have joined this awful club.
wow you just brought me to tears.
My dad passed away 4 months ago and I inherited his nickelback collection. Whenever I miss him, I just pop some nickelback and it eases my pain in that moment! This is not goodbye forever, just see you later! RIP DADDY! I miss you so much!
I'm sorry you had to go through that
2024???Nov any one???
Right now, fuck yah!
Still great 2024

By far, one of the most inspirational and spiritual songs ever. This song has helped me through some sad times in my life!
Digo Android me too man, this song is powerful. Hope everythings going well for you now!
Got me through a bunch of shit I was going through.
same here man I know what its like
I love the song and the meaning behind it. I had lost my father in the 90's, and I wish I could have gotten the chance to tell him I loved him before he passed. My last words to him that I Still regret to this day were "I hate you". Not realizing that that would be the final time I would get to talk to him. Now I make sure to tell those I love that I love them.
Like the song says, what If today was your last day? What would you say to those you love? Would you do anything differently before you're gone? Make your last days on this earth count and tell those you love, "I love you". I love the honesty in their songs. You can feel it when they sing. I will always be a NB fan.
If you stop the Video at 3:02 you can see MEEEE in white hoodie. They filmed that scene in Philly... It was such a fun day.
I just HAD to go look! That's too cool!! Thanks for sharing, you looked FABULOUS! I cant tell you how many times I go to this, it's a song that truly revives my soul, and makes me realize how extremely important every single day, every single person, and how every single choice we make should be done with a drive to love, have passion, compassion, sweetness, sincere kindness, forgiveness, care, humility laughter, patience, and making this world a better place knowing that our time here passes in a blink of an eye. You are an AWESOME lady Tara! Keep living it up girl!!!
Glad you had a good time
You're beautiful! ^^
Omg wow!

I like that! I'm torn between that, and this.
Be Present, in the Present. Yesterday is Gone. Tomorrow, Never gets here. It's Always, the Present
Never undestanded why so many ppl hate this Band? Okay some songs sounds quite the same, but they are also not bad so whats the problem. Atleast they often have a meaning!
they don't sound similar at all, just listen to How You Remind Me, and compare it to this.
Nothing a like. At all. Also, I'm gonna be that annoying perfectionist that corrects your mistakes
*I never understood why people hate this band. Ok, so maybe some of their songs sound the same, but at least they sound good, so it shouldn't be a problem, at least they put a message into their songs!
There. Grammar. Take it.
TCFan7890 omg. I am sorry that english is not my main language. -.-

Don't do comedy.
The point of it is to be funny. You failed with that pretty hard.
I've listened to this song for years but it hit harder after losing my sister this past November. Especially the lines about calling old friends and reminiscing and the hands of time never being on your side. Cherish your loved ones. Really cherish them.
❤️
Sorry for your loss.
i wish you and your family the best in life
I listen to Nickelback but somehow I missed this song. Thank you Mr. James for having me listen to this. Nickelback has yet to disappoint.
Whoever doesn't like Nickelback doesn't have a sense of good music, like really? I use to listen to song ALL the time, my dad loved Nickelback so I listened to their songs a lot. I love Nickelback, i actually haven't been listening to it until now, it's a great childhood memory for me and a memory of my dad who I lost last year (the reason I haven't listened to them for a while). Nickelback has meaning in their songs, this song "If Today Was Your Last Day" for instance, and "When We Stand Together" is another song I love. Why so much hate? Nickelback has way better songs than some popstars today, with most (by most, I mean majority) of those songs today having inappropriate meaning.. you call that "good" songs?
Because of the internet, that's why all the hate. Its just a trend that started on some forum, that would my guess.
Chris Lyons it was something that Chad said that got taken out of context, it blew up on that forum that you talked about and now people hate him.
Paige King I use to only like rap now I'm in to country and of course nickel back he's amazing
Yup I agree
Paige King Exact same reason with me I lost my dad last month and I'm 16 and we listened to this album all the time going to/going home from my games
Time is the gift. People say "Time is money", But there's a major difference, money is a renewable resource, it comes and goes in life, time only moves in one direction. Using ones talents to bring the truth, not jive trends on the pop scene is commendable, and more original.(artistic)Thanks for the positive change Nickle-back!
+jeffrey Skelton Time is money in a way.....but when you use all of your time to get money instead of spending time with those you love or to lend a helping hand,then that's sad. People need to know the difference before it's too late.
+Gud Rohi ho
"Each day is a gift and not a given right"
I love that
This song is the best life advice you will ever get! Toss Baz Lurhman Suncreen on the same play list, and just keep repeating these songs until you get it. This song is directly responsible for me getting through my divorce, when I thought life was over. Thanks Nickelback!!
As a paramedic I can confirm the part "each day's a gift and not a given right".. life is too short for being sad, angry and all that negative stuff. Enjoy each day, and your life! You'll never know when your time has come and we'll meet ;-) greetings from Germany, stay safe out there
hallo wie gehts es.. former emt Firefighter. was a dream of mine to do it sadly it is in the past. but you have it absolutely correct. Live people stop giving up on yourselves. this song has been a catalyst for me. I got to renw a very meaningful friendship what made decide to was this song. she and i are enjoying our friendship much more now than ever. if hadnt followed that advice i wouldnt have her in my life today.
thanks
Mick Morel. Absolutely.
Mick Morel U SO RITE. GOD BLESS YA. N THANKS FOR UR SERVICE AS A. PARAMEDIC. THUMBS UP FOR YA 👍
you are so right
Love love love Nickelback! Always have and am glad I didn’t know for some time about the hatred conspiracy. Meaningful lyrics and I love their sound and singing voices.
I know it’s so good!
Agreed
It's not a conspiracy they are the most hated rock band and Canada answer for the band creed
Agreed
@@louiszippittelli8855 they actually are not. morons on the internet just cant help but to jump onboard of a meme
This song has one of the best messages in music. It actually helped me get my life together and I'm a happier person today because of it.
Helped me a lot to bought a motorcycle and couldn't be happier in life. It's all about doing what makes u happy
Don't understand the hatred for nickleback they are an awesome band. Love their songs
I think I cried every time I listened to this song because it is so motivational and inspirational
Same here!
Me too
It brings back so many memories!
Who else cried? Dont lie. i think this song can help suicide prevention and those who struggle...
Dragunov778 Hdcsdv hhgzmgx
Dragunov778 this song is emosional yeah and yes it could help.preventing suicide
Try listening to "Nickelback - Lullaby" from their Here and Now album. That tackles suicide prevention head-on.
I didn't cry, but this song makes me think deeply of my life whenever I listen to it. My favorite song so far. It's just beautiful and powerful.
I cry...I love this song....
I want this played at my funural...
About a month ago I lost my brother in a four wheeler crash, and we’ve been looking in his stuff for a while a decided to turn on his speaker he always had, and well this song just started playing, and I was just in awe about how of all songs this song with this meaning was the last song he ever listened to.
☹️
I'm so sorry you lost your brother, that's a deep loss. I hope you are living life twice as hard for him xx
Wow..............
Just by reading this, I am actually holding back tears...
I wish more people would actually listen to this song. In this world of impatient people rushing through each day, they don't stop to think that they are inevitably hurrying along to the end of their lives. Not one of us is promised tomorrow. We could go to bed angry & never wake up to make amends or not kiss our loved ones before walking out the door, only to not make it back home later.
My husband was in a crappy Rehab Center during Covid, he didn't have it, nor did I, but I didn't get to visit him the last 3 weeks of his life. All he wanted to do was get his rehab time done & come home, but instead he died alone. Neither of us even suspected that he wouldn't make it.
Anyone who doesn’t like Nickelback has a deep, dark lost soul that is destined on a lost path of unhappiness and misery.
Damn
Therapy? Ever heard of it?
Doctor House YES!!
@@idlecuriosity it's sad that people agree with this. I am not a Nickelback Fan and listen to their whole discography to have my own opinion afterwards. Feed the Machine is their best Album IMO, the betrayal act 1 and 3 are very very good Songs. But I still don't like nickelback as a whole because of various reasons. This does not make me bad and self - hating Person. I love opeth, dream Theater and Insomnium for example. You are not better than dumb nickelback haters when you agree to the comment above. Just saying.....
Bitch WTF are you smoking
I hope these men know that they made a masterpiece. A song with a beautiful message and truly deep, meaningful lyrics that really touch your heart.
"If today was your last day, would you make your mark by mending a broken heart." - As a stupid kid thinking about suicide back then, something about this line made me redirect my negative energy towards helping people and it literally saved my life.
This song truly stayed in my heart after my Son passed away from Cancer .. wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to do good for others like in this video . I try on a smaller scale , but if we all tried many of the things in these lyrics , I think we could all make a positive difference in the world , and for our loved ones !!! Love these guys 💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️
i wish you and your family the best god loves you so much
Losing a child is the most heartbreaking thing that can happen to a parent. I lost my beloved daughter almost 6 years ago. I loved her and can never "get over it". She was imperfect, as we all are, but a genuinely caring and sweet person. I pray she's somehow in a better place and I'll see her again. None of us knows. Be kind and forgiving to those in your life, Nothing is gained by resentment. Estrangement from family and friends is hateful and a huge waste of time and energy, It makes everyone miserable - and for what?
have a brother fighting cancer so this song means a lot
I may your brother be healthy soon.
my mom had cancer and I feel for you man. stick in there :)
My sister had cancer, wish you all the best :)
God Bless buddy. I just lost my 1st cousin that I grew up with to cancer this month and his mom a few years back to cancer. Stay strong. Our time is short on this earth, just love and live everyday with purpose. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to say a silent prayer for you and your brother tonite. Regardless of the outcome of his illness, he will eventually be free of it for good. I really believe that with all my heart my friend.
Music is a powerful thing in many different ways. It can stir up memories, raise emotions and heal. Keep playing, keep listening and keep fighting.
I'll never be able to stand against Nickelback, I love their music and Chad's voice is awesome sounding. They have such an instantly recognizable sound and that's what really makes them unique and special in my opinion. Plus their lyrics are very inspirational and I'm sure have helped plenty of people through tough times. God bless Nickelback forever 😇😇
Life's too short to bother your heart with hatred, resentment and sorrow. I always come here when I need this reminder.
Easy to say when you can't do anything about it...
@@javiermella1598 You still can ease your pain by focusing on thing which will ultimately be better for you. It won't wash them away but will certainly help you feel better.
Javier Mella There’s always something you can do about it. Shitty things happen all the time in life. Sometimes it happens to you, sometimes you cause it. If it happens to you, then it’s on you to keep yourself in a positive state of mind. If you do it, then it’s on you to learn from it and not fall into that spiral trap of history repeating itself. It’s okay to be upset, sad, or angry but you can’t just let it become who you are. Any situation that may befall you is the catalyst to how you choose to go on with your life. Will you let it bring you to the bottom of a bottle and a pit of absolute agony? Or will you let it bring you to the job interview of your dreams and a goodnight’s sleep in a warm bed?
This quote helped me so much, I’m in a tough time right now and from now on I’m gonna constantly think about this when I’m down. Thank you.
@@cons2752 In case you need someone to talk to, I'm here and available.
LOVE THESE GUYS !!! ALWAYS & FOREVER !!! TODAY IS ALWAYS THE LAST DAY!!!!
I watched this video for so many years with a dear friend, sadly he is no longer here and when I watch this video I cry inside knowing we no longer share the memories of watching Nickelback videos and enjoying learning their new music together. RIP Tim Sutton...
R.I.P, Sounds like an amazing guy, and a perfect friend! Not many of those people left in this world, he left his mark, many respects for you and Tom. :) X
Carolyn Boggs sorry to hear about your friend
Carolyn Boggs 😭 God bless you 🤧

A song that goes with your sitch is LULLABY by NICKELBACK
He may not be physically here with you, but never give up hope on your best friend!! Keep him in your everyday actions, thoughts, dreams and in your heart forever. Watch the nickelback videos especially during a bad day and reminisce of all the great happy times that you and him had!! Hold them close forever. So sorry to hear of your loss. I know how you feel.
"Don't take the free ride with your own life" this quote literaly might have saved me.
Tru you just don't know when your time is up
Alan, that is awesome. I hope the lyrics touch people as much as they have with me. I know my family and friends are probably tired of hearing it, but there's something about this song that sticks with me.
Im getting old and this song has more meaning now than ever!
My first ever concert at 12 years old 15 years ago ...man were we lucky to live this era.
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
If today was your last day
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day
❤❤❤❤😍
Congratulations you can use copy and paste
"What's worth the prize is
always worth the price"--NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!
So crazy that every song they have made strikes the core so much, and means a lot in every way possible. I Just love this band so much I grew up listing to them & It's even crazier now that I'm a little older things make lots of sense now. Life is so precious It's beautiful being here for a certain amount time & this song just reminds me to be a great person in ever way possible cause life isn't always promised. This song is literally the way I live my life.
Have fun, travel, meet different people, help others out, put a smile on someone's face, don't be so hard on yourself, never lie, do the right thing, spend time with loved ones, don't let money control you, REMEBER THE INTERNET IS FAKE IT'S UP TO YOU TO MAKE YOU OWN REALITY, WITH LOVE AND POSITIVTY LOVE YOUR FRIENDS AND KEEP THEM CLOSE!
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
I need to live the way you do!
Thank you so much for this comment. God Bless! :) ❤
Real talk, right here 🙏🏼💯
I guess everyone here are strangers✌️
Right on brother!
You know a song is good when it gives you goose bumps !
If today was my last day I would stop apologizing for my shortcomings and just thank the ones above for the amazing life I was given
I think about this song everyday. It's not only one of my favorite songs, it's makes me realize that I need to go on living no matter what circumstances I'll face down the road and to help people in need more often. Even during these troubling times, people need to think about what if today was your last day? What would you do?
Not sure if you were asking a question? Or making a Point? Either way, my response to you.
I'm currently 54 years old. Earlier in my Life, very Troubling times for me! And my mind wandered to the Film, It's a Wonderful Life. And I did, actually ask, several times that I would have Never been Born. That I Never Existed at All. And then, as I was contemplating my Death. I was shown different things that happened during my time here. The people I had helped. A thought came into my Head, Not my own! I don't know who/what? But I was in a really LOW DARK PLACE! What would have happened to those people, had I Never been Born? Just that question. No Alternate Realities. Lol!
So I started to think about that. And then I realized, I've had an Important Impact on many people. Even more now! Direct Impacts on Thousands of people. From what I've been told, I have been used as an example of what people are capable of. Some of those Stories, are really weird for me to hear!
I'm somewhat Stable now.I was Diagnosed with Severe Depression. When I'm unable to bounce back to Reality on my own, I sometimes require Meds to help me! Nothing long term. Although my Older Sister has said, I should consider that. Depression runs in my Family!
At this very Moment, I'm trying to figure out my next Move? A Plan I had made fell through. I'm OK, kinda sorta. Not at risk right now. But I don't have a Direction to move forward. That's what I'm looking for. What Direction should I go? I've got a decent paying Job. I'm not Challenged here anymore. That's a bad thing, for me!!! My Plan, would have addressed that issue, at least for 2 years! And I would have gained valuable Training in the process. Now? I don't know? I do realize Everything happens for a Reason! For the Life of me, I can't figure out what that Reason is? So I'm stuck, spinning my wheels, going Nowhere!
Sorry to unload all of this! Sometimes, it helps to get things in the open. Even if it's not, someone I know. I'm not sure why? It's not as if, I'm expecting an answer from you or anyone else. I suppose it's something of a venting process? The Answer will come to me, it Always does!
Be well!
Peace
It is certainly the right song to hear if you was about commit suicide, having bad thoughts etc 🤔🥰
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, TOO SHOOT FOR THE STARS, NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE .
🇿🇦It wasn't recommended i searched for it. Shout out to those who still rock this song till this day December 03
Yessir
Of 2020 right? Of course! These songs will never die, they're some of the best:)

@@allenreeder2021 fucking songs like these will last longer than the Virus and an LS motor combined 😂
Each day is a gift from the Lord… Live in peace, harmony, and gratitude for who he is, what he’s done and who he created you to be and what you’ve done or are going to do.
This song is deep. If you really listen to it you would know, this song is very true. Don't dislike it, for it is very true for life. You only live once.
Chris Bunn That's the reason why I love it. And I believe most of the commenters here knew the meaning of this song too.
Yea there is no second trys
yes,we only live once so try to live it as GOD commanded us to
This is my favourite Nickelback song ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
