My child Mal wrote this and after listening to it ,it actually helped me realize how much I wanted to get back closer to my own brother who took such good care of me while we were growing up in an abusive home and he helped me survive. I love you Rick... Love you Mal -you are amazing..
I get messages all the time just from my previous comment it warms my heart- Mal writes so well and meaningful that watching them grow up has been a great experience. They accept all and when I have gone to their shows it's beautiful . Their more recent song , Why can't they see me - makes me tear up every time but is so important to hear- Love U Mal...
You You are my brother and I love you like Like a brother Like I'd ride my bike home after school And fix you peanut butter sandwiches when you're sad Because believe me, I get sad sometimes I get so shaky I could lose my mind And I will wait with you in the meantime If you find you're weary If you find you're weak If you find yourself without the comfort that you've come to seek You can count on me And you You are the leader of the pack, it's true Without you we would not know what to do I dare to say we wouldn't have a clue No, we'd be clueless without you You have the nicest heart somebody can Always there to lend a helping hand Drive three hours just to see my band If you find you're weary If you find you're weak If you drive all night and still you don't like what it is you see You can count on me And we We wrote this song in someone else's house When we were on a trip way out of town I had this feeling like I might just drown Did you have it too? Had no idea that you were part of this You wrote the chorus and you placed the bridge Your music has a certain grace in it If you find you're weary If you find you're weak If you try all night and still you just can't write a melody You can count on me Yes, it's true I always have to hide my art 'Cause if I didn't hide my art Then it would lead back to my heart And if I led you to my heart Then you would find me sitting there On a pile of all the clothes That I stole from you last year And then I'd start to cry And I won't want to write my feelings It's alright, so I lie Make it funny, make it rhyme And I hope that you believe me And that's how I play it live 'Cause I think that you believe me Miss the real important lines Like how I get so sad sometimes and how I get so shaky Like you could just ignore all that if I use the word achey And pretend like it's a love song I don't care that it's not true Besides, isn't that what love's about? I'll hide myself behind you I will hide myself behind you I'll hide myself behind you I will hide myself behind you I'll hide myself behind you I will hide myself behind you I'll hide myself behind you I will hide 'Cause maybe I'm the one that's weary Maybe I'm the one that's weak And now I find myself without the words I really want to speak But you can count on me
This song hits a really strange note for me. Two years ago to the day, I attempted suicide. This song was one of the first things I heard after I woke up. I've never really forgotten that. I hope all of you are healthy and well. ❤️
I'm very happy you're still here. The first song I heard when I woke up after my attempt was Corduroy Dreams by Rex Orange County. You know...it really does get better. Sending you lots of love, my friend.
@@YukkiSohma thank you so much for the beautiful message...that really means a lot to hear. I'm glad you're here, too, and I wish you so much happiness :)
back when I thought I was going to get married, I pictured myself dancing with my little siblings to this song It's the month I would have been getting married, and it's strange, an anniversary of things that didn't happen I'm glad you're here, I'm glad you posted this video, I'm glad you said this to the youtube void thanks for hanging on, as cheesy as that is, it really is so very important
three years later, i'm still happy you're alive. it gets better even if it stays awful - you get to listen to new music, see new people on the street you think are pretty, see something interesting or see pretty things or hear pretty words. living is a surprise and sometimes the surprise is awful but we get to wait for the next, mildly better surprise. im happy ur still here
This song hits such a deep note for me, they really should be a more recognized artist. so many of their song perfectly describe feelings I could never explain. Many of the songs are bittersweet and know it, but also show both sides instead of being generally in the middle.
I absolutely love this song ❤️ I sent it to my oldest kid the other day. She just moved to California a few months ago. That’s a long way from Indiana... but I know it will be easier for her to be trans there.
Unfortunately her girlfriends parents kicked her out of their house once she came out to them. She’s back in Indiana. Girlfriend just moved here. Her parents wanted her to seek counseling for being with a trans woman.
@@kimberly8313 i'm so sorry, her girlfriends parents can't be clear in their head for doing/saying such things. Trans women are just as much women as a cis woman and it's sad that people don't understand that. I hope your daughter and her girlfriend has it better in indiana with you than what they had back in california and that they get to be happy now and forever.
I am a 57 year-old married woman with 2 adult children, and I literally can't stop listening to this song and Mal Blum in general. Their humanity is just so pure and powerful that I can't stop listening to this and 'Fine". Is anyone else here this blown away by them?
i listened to the song on the way home from dropping my brother off at college. we’ve been through a lot: it was bittersweet. i miss him so much. this song just reminds me of how much he’s helped me through, and how important he is to me and my family. i got in an argument with him today. listening to this makes me realize how stupid it is to argue with people you love. i’m in tears yet again.
in 2002 my dad was killed and unbeknownst to me, he had a pregnant girlfriend at the time... I didnt find out that I had a little brother until a few years ago. His mom gave him up so he grew up with no parents and I am so so sad I couldn't be there for him... This song reminds me that we were both struggling and its not too late to be with eachother as siblings. he looks so much like my dad.. the universe is so crazy

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
You're a good father, Larry
I only recently discovered Mal's music, and so far every song has made me tear up, all for different reasons ❤️
This made my bad morning better, thank you ♡ Supportive and loving parents are unfairly rare gems
🕺

Wow Larry. Touching. Sounds like Mal is lucky to have a dad like you. And versa vica
You
You are my brother and I love you like
Like a brother
Like I'd ride my bike home after school
And fix you peanut butter sandwiches when you're sad
Because believe me, I get sad sometimes
I get so shaky I could lose my mind
And I will wait with you in the meantime
If you find you're weary
If you find you're weak
If you find yourself without the comfort that you've come to seek
You can count on me
And you
You are the leader of the pack, it's true
Without you we would not know what to do
I dare to say we wouldn't have a clue
No, we'd be clueless without you
You have the nicest heart somebody can
Always there to lend a helping hand
Drive three hours just to see my band
If you find you're weary
If you find you're weak
If you drive all night and still you don't like what it is you see
You can count on me
And we
We wrote this song in someone else's house
When we were on a trip way out of town
I had this feeling like I might just drown
Did you have it too?
Had no idea that you were part of this
You wrote the chorus and you placed the bridge
Your music has a certain grace in it
If you find you're weary
If you find you're weak
If you try all night and still you just can't write a melody
You can count on me
Yes, it's true
I always have to hide my art
'Cause if I didn't hide my art
Then it would lead back to my heart
And if I led you to my heart
Then you would find me sitting there
On a pile of all the clothes
That I stole from you last year
And then I'd start to cry
And I won't want to write my feelings
It's alright, so I lie
Make it funny, make it rhyme
And I hope that you believe me
And that's how I play it live
'Cause I think that you believe me
Miss the real important lines
Like how I get so sad sometimes and how I get so shaky
Like you could just ignore all that if I use the word achey
And pretend like it's a love song
I don't care that it's not true
Besides, isn't that what love's about?
I'll hide myself behind you
I will hide myself behind you
I'll hide myself behind you
I will hide myself behind you
I'll hide myself behind you
I will hide myself behind you
I'll hide myself behind you
I will hide
'Cause maybe I'm the one that's weary
Maybe I'm the one that's weak
And now I find myself without the words I really want to speak
But you can count on me
Love....pure unadulterated to and for you, Mal!

You are a great mom, Kimberly! We need more moms/people like you!
