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.
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.
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....
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.
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.
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
OK, here it goes... BRENT YOUR vocals are the most amazing talent IN THE WORLD!!?! Im addicted to your singing, so truly the next and understandable thing to do isssss... . BRENT, WILL U MARRY ME( FINGERS CROSSED)OK THAT'S TOO LONG OF WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER!!!!!?! I LOVE YOU!!
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
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!!

Hes my favorite
and he's the best
:]
Well said, you can feel what he’s singing, not just hear it!!
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
The expression in his voice, it's amazing. This song hits you right where it matters.
GEEZ anyone else get goosebumps???? He is such a talented singer!
Yes !
Wow, when he kicks into the chorus...the absence of the band really lets you hear how good he actually is. Awesome vocalist.
That's some awesome guitar playing!!!! Oh and great voice too!

I just love this song!!! This version!! It's so... so... I cant find the word for it.
This voice, this song... Omg, just awesome
they'll allway be my favourite band.
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
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.
This gives me chills though my entire body. It almost brings me to tears.
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.❤❤❤🐿️
what a voice, I'm blown away everytime I listen to it.....
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....
his voice just gives me goosebumbs.
i love how you acoustic sets really bring his voice out.
I get chills every time I hear Brent sing. I think the acoustic sessions are often better. Brent and Jasin are incredible together.
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.
I get the shivers constantly during this
O-M-G.. i adore you guys...like REALLY....acoustic versions of your songs always touch my heart
the singer voice is simply amazing!
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.
this is fantastic, i could listen to this ALL day
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.
I love his voice, and this version of the song, and I love Shinedown in general
Wow, he has a very powerful voice...
I love it!
Shinedown is definetly becoming my favorite band (:
