Brent Smith is one of the handful of singers that can sing without any help from editing or intruments. All he needs is his emotions. He pours out his soul everytime he preforms because almost all of the songs they perform he wrote. Therefore they have a deeper meaning than the one we all assume, and he feels it when those words leave his lips. Hes my favorite and he's the best :]
This video showcases tremendous vocal range and amazing song writing - unassisted by sound mixing or electronic effects - but only a has a little over 1 million views. J. Lo's. unimaginative "song" entitled "On The Floor", which is a product of computerized effects, and which requires little to no talent in writing music or vocal ability, has over 661 million views as of me writing this. There can be no greater demonstration of how much audiences lack appreciation for real talent.
Don't blame the audiences. Blame the radio. And the hyper-sexualization of our culture. The radio plays the most meaningless but catchy songs, and RUclips supports them with sexual music videos so that music like this never reached the public's ears. Quite a shame, really.
I will never feel tired of listen this song...Brent's voice is amazing and makes anyone that like rock and good music feel the heart beat...... Thanks to bands like Shinedown, Incubus, three days grace, Seether for the great music, our youth really needing songs with feeling and not shit about cars and money....
Look at your hands, feet and legs did you make them? did you form them in your mothers womb? Your very breath is on loan to you, For you cannot, No man can keep hes soul alive.. Theres no denying the reality of a higher source.
If sombody is born with an inheritence, By definition, Anything inherited is a gift. (Not of ones own making) Your limbs by definition are henceforth a gift. The hair which grows on your head is a gift. Your very fingerprint which is unique to you, Colour of eyes etc, are GIFTS . You attribute your life to your mother as the source, But SHE did not even know weather you was going to be a boy, or a girl untill there was a maturity in the conception. My point is that God is the Souurce of life(NOT we ourselves) i'm sure theres many people who woke up believing they would see another day, but did not remain alive to do so.
And they are awesome people as well. One week ago today, I won backstage passes to meet them and hang out in their dressing room for like 30 min. It was a wonderful experience and I will always remember them and love them.
thats awesome, shinedown were supporting disturbed last wednesday, when they played this song, he said it was the most personal song hed ever written, and the emotion in his voice was tear-jerking
iv seen these guys live 2 times and somehow brent smith get better and his lyrics touch everyones souls no matter who you are or where uv come from he always knows what to say
WOW! The boys voice is amazing! So pure and talented...rare now and days. And there is so much passion behind his vocals. It's not forced for the sake of performance. Gotta respect that no matter who you are or your musical taste.;D
A song sung with pure emotion. Brent makes you feel that you can relate to the song so well. Amazing is not the word. By far the best live song I've heard.
its nice to see people can actually play their songs live and still sound good and not use a prerecorded track like britany spears or ashley simpson. much respect to these guys to pull this song off and still wail
god this song is so freakin awesome! sooo easy to reflect the lyrics into a person with a dificult everyday lifestyle and problems... kinda giving the courage to face the challenges in life =) Thumbs up for Shinedown :D
omg! that would be insane! brent and myles, in my opinion, are 2 of the absolute best rock vocalists today. both of them have amazing voices that are very powerful
I would have given anything to get into this show... all the songs from this session are unbelievable! They were both on their A game... his voice is incredible!
This guy has probably the most amazing voice I can imagine that I would want. His dynamics and pitch is out of this world lol its so amazing. How can someone get so loud and stll sound good?
how can you not like this? im gonna hope to god that they were so emotionally touched by his pure talent that they couldnt see through the tears and wrongfully hit the dislike button. if not well i got a tactical acp xd series .45 with a itchy combat oriented trigger finger behind it:)
Yea I love accoustic version of rock. Zakk wyld's stuff, everlast, ect.. This band will rise to the sun and shinedown for eternity on us. Great voice man. Sing it.
Years later and I still consider this their best live performance of the song.
Not even debatable
15 years later and I still listen to this consistently. He soothes my soul.
For real, this performance was undeniable!!
Amazing performance that still gives me chills in December 2024

Hes my favorite

:]
Well said, you can feel what he’s singing, not just hear it!!
GEEZ anyone else get goosebumps???? He is such a talented singer!
Yes !
the emotion with which he sings... holy shit... losing a friend is a tough thing.
I can't believe these guys have only just had a hit in Australia. The emotion in this song is spine tingling. I need to hear more
Wow, when he kicks into the chorus...the absence of the band really lets you hear how good he actually is. Awesome vocalist.

The expression in his voice, it's amazing. This song hits you right where it matters.
they'll allway be my favourite band.
My son and I had the pleasure of being at this show in Cincinnati, this is truly when I fell in love with Brent's voice.
Every time I hear this song it just brings tears to my eyes. It's such a beautiful song and it means so much to so many people.❤❤❤🐿️
I get chills every time I hear Brent sing. I think the acoustic sessions are often better. Brent and Jasin are incredible together.
Brent's voice really bleeds with talent and emotion. Jeez that dude can sing. Simple man acoustic and 45 acoustic is what "rock" music needs more of.
I will never feel tired of listen this song...Brent's voice is amazing and makes anyone that like rock and good music feel the heart beat......
Thanks to bands like Shinedown, Incubus, three days grace, Seether for the great music, our youth really needing songs with feeling and not shit about cars and money....
I get the shivers constantly during this
I just love this song!!! This version!! It's so... so... I cant find the word for it.
One of the greatest voices of my lifetime
I can't think of what I would give to sing like that
same lmao
Well, first step is to get some lessons!
Not your soul
the singer voice is simply amazing!
That's some awesome guitar playing!!!! Oh and great voice too!
This voice, this song... Omg, just awesome
Shinedown is 100% real love! They have been fighting for ther point in life! so no back talk about them!
This gives me chills though my entire body. It almost brings me to tears.
Im doubting my Atheism when I hear Brent Smith's voice. He has to be an angel
To be honest, that's insulting to Brent Smith's skills as a singer. To say his voice is so good, it must not be his doing.
Look at your hands, feet and legs
did you make them?
did you form them in your mothers womb?
Your very breath is on loan to you, For you cannot, No man can keep hes soul alive..
Theres no denying
the reality of a higher source.
Yes my limbs are my own, and was formed by cells in my mothers womb. Your point?

Seen any science news the last few years? Evolution is now a fact.
But hey, discussing with a christian is like discussing with a wall.
And they are awesome people as well. One week ago today, I won backstage passes to meet them and hang out in their dressing room for like 30 min. It was a wonderful experience and I will always remember them and love them.
end brings tears to my eyes
Might be one of the top 10 rock vocalist ive ever heard. he belts out music effortlessly
Shinedown is definetly becoming my favorite band (:
I swear, this is by far the greatest song ever !!!
I saw him live back in 2004 & that show was completely breath-taking. He's such an inspiration to many people. We love you, Brent!
thats awesome, shinedown were supporting disturbed last wednesday, when they played this song, he said it was the most personal song hed ever written, and the emotion in his voice was tear-jerking
