As I teen, I tried to save my alcoholic father and lost. As an adult, I've tried to save friends and lost. Though I've never followed or been a fan of eithers music, this song speaks to all who have almost broken themselves trying to save others. You can't stop ANYONE from living how they choose. I learned the hard way that even the unconditional love from an innocent child literally hanging on a grown man's leg will not stop an addict from getting their next fix. Those who can be critical about this video should be glad they cannot relate.
My heart goes out to you. I know the heartache of that fight. Especially as a kid, it's such a terrible burden to place on a kid. Like I said in my previous comment--if you have not dealt with addiction or loved an addict--you can not possibly understand the fight and pain. d
AMEN! WISE WORDS. I always say don’t judge unless you have been through it. I wouldn’t want to put that pain on anyone and I’m sure Nick will reach others on this. Mental illness is a beast and fr what it sounded what happened with Aaron has shaped into a different person.
I just lost my only sibling and brother last year on January 10th of 2022, to an overdose. He was months shy of his 50th birthday and he struggled with drugs for 32 years of his life. What he put our family through for all those years was indescribable unless you’ve been through it personally with a loved one. I never stopped loving him but at times I had to pull away from him for my own sanity, mental well-being and physical health. He always knew I loved him because I’d tell him so, but he did so much to hurt myself, our parents, my husband, my children and all our extended family. Until you’ve been through this struggle with someone you love. You truly have no idea what you’re going to do or how you’re going to feel. We put him through so many rehab facilities during those 32 years but that got expensive. We did 51/50’s on him every chance we got. He’d go through periods where he’d be sober but he never really dealt with his mental health issues properly and instead would self medicate with drugs. He was on drugs more than he was off of them. He did Duster like Aaron. Pain pills, crack, and Xanax was one of his favorites. What ultimately killed him was a bad morphine pill. It was laced with fentanyl. He had fentanyl, Xanax, morphine, and cocaine in his system. His heart gave out on him. It slowed down his breathing and he passed in his sleep. We hadn’t spoken in months when he died, but I reached out to him on Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day to tell him I was thinking about him, missed him so much and loved him more than he knew. He didn’t respond to me but I know he saw my texts. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever been through and I’ve lost too many people to count in my life. I just wish people could understand what it’s like loving an addict. You sometimes have to learn to love them from afar. 😢 I don’t wish this on anyone. Now myself and my family are left to pick up the pieces and constantly ask ourselves “what if”.
Please don't take this the wrong way. Did he have mental health problems before or after his drug addiction, I hear those 2 words combined a lot when it when it comes to Addiction.
@@mimij5507 He had issues from the time he was very little and they went undiagnosed until he was in Elementary school. It wasn’t until he graduated that they diagnosed him with Bipolar disorder and manic depression. He was diagnosed with a learning disability as a young child and he had ADHD. He was very mentally unstable and the drugs unfortunately only exacerbated his issues. My parents were actually told some of his mental health issues were drug induced. He struggled his entire life. Every day was a challenge for him just to get out of bed. When he was in his 40’s he got diagnosed with low testosterone and was put on steroids for that issue. It was a lot. He tried committing suicide numerous times and OD’d a handful of times prior to his death a year ago on the 10th. I loved him but he did some really messed up stuff to our family. I’d have to pull away during those times. There were times I couldn’t allow him around my children and although it hurt him he did understand the reasoning. I’m glad you asked. Don’t apologize for asking a good question. A lot of people that have mental health issues actually end up doing drugs to self medicate. We went to family therapy and counseling to cope and deal with all the things he was going through and that he had done to us and put us through. I never stopped loving him and I never will. I miss his smile, joking ways and laughter every day. It’s not easy loving an addict and you do what you have to do to make sure it doesn’t affect you too terribly bad. Some people actually disown their family members that are addicts. We just never completely cut him off. He had an amazing support system, but even that wasn’t enough in the end.
I think people who have never dealt with an addict or a mentally ill friend/family member can't understand any of this, they just expect people to take the abuse for years and keep going and it doesn't work that way. And it should be obvious but none of us know the full extent of everything they have been through. I also think if he didn't do a tribute people would complain about the lack of concern so he can't win no matter what he does but I think this was just for him anyway.
I may not drink but both of parents are alcoholics so I know how it feels to come from a alcoholic household , once a person addiction to drugs or alcohol the whole family have it or lease that is alcohol, Brittanee Bryant
OMG A RESOUNDING Yes, & an AMEN!! Seeing comments that Nicks using Aaron by putting this song out is literally insane bc those same people turn around & ignore every time Aaron did things to get attn & Nicks name. So hyocritical That said, whats important to remember is you CAN love an addict from a distance. Its wrong IMHO to enable them or allow the behavior his LMG always has as well as have the audactity to expect Nick to enable him just bc they cant see the truth. I admire Nick for what hes done, esp with the platform he has & at such a young age. He could have sank into the drama & chose not to. LMG live for drama + chaos, hence why they blame, deflect & project. So much more I could say, but you said it well. My mom was an addict for the majority of my life & ODd yrs ago. Thankfully Ive never been an addict but have much experience dealing w/family who are/were❤️❤️
@@mimicoolwhip5991 I saw a clip of the London concert where right after Aaron passed and the way Nick looked puffy eyes etc you can tell he had been crying and they were not fake tears. I want to know about making amends and if Nick didn’t get a chance to talk to him before. That’s what is probably killing him The whole situation is tragic how it ended
I feel like this is his best song yet. Vulnerable, honest, raw and u can feel his emotions through his lyrics. I feel him singing this and expressing his true feelings out loud to everyone will help let go of any guilt he's had over the years. The could've, should've, wouldve we all ask ourselves after loosing someone to mental health illness. It's not for clout or etc it's to help him in his healing process. Bc he did try to help Aaron numerous times but one has to want to help themselves even if in the slightest. Aaron lost any and all hope in humanity years ago from all his trauma he is experienced growing up. I would love to know what Momma Jane thought when she watched Nick's video for the first time.
Those comments are ridiculous. We all have cut out toxic people from our lives. Sometimes it’s best to love from a distance. Aaron. Did. Not. Want. Anyones. Help. It’s not Nicks fault. Aaron didn’t want Nick around him.
My bro-in-law tried to help his brother with addiction. You can only do so much, like you said. He was an alcoholic and didn’t want the help. There comes a time when you can’t give up your own life if that person doesnt want your help. I loved the video. I think that Nick tried to help Aaron, but, like I said above, can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. Nick loved Aaron and he always will.
I felt like it was a heartfelt tribute song and he even wrote this apparently several months before Aaron passed away because he was thinking about a way to reconcile with Aaron and thats why I believe he initially wrote this song so maybe he could use music as a way to show he cared about his brother because music was a language they both understood, at least that’s what I saw fans of Nick write… Ofcourse we don’t know how Aaron would react to that and if he would get over his anger/jealousy towards Nick… And now its a tribute song to Aaron obviously… And yeah, LMG is not having it, Scotian Savage isn’t having it (ofcourse), but these people should maybe take a look in the mirror someday. Like all they did was support AC and they never did anything “wrong” in their life… Give me a break, imo Nick did try his best to help AC, but I just don’t think he was ready to accept anyones help, let alone, his own brother who he envied and bashed time and time again…
Nick did more for Aaron than any lmg or scotian did. Aaron needed treatment and rehab, music touring boxing wasn’t/wouldnt/didn’t save Aaron. he needed to get healthy then maybe those things could have been his new vice that kept him going. But until in a better state of mind, the man couldn’t anything. Scotian, as far as I could tel never pushed for rehab. He ignored so much for so long. Lmg kept telling him he was fine and attacked people who said different. They only ever believe what Aaron said. In my mind, lmg did far damage than good. And I will always remind them how they held Aaron’s hand and helped him to an early grave.
@@bridgetbui95 very well said. I'm really confused and baffled by the hate and ridicule Nick is getting from Scotian when Scotian not only also cut Aaron out of his life due to his issues, but he also just released a song as a tribute to Aaron. But when Nick does it for his own brother who he actually tried for years to get help, it's for clout? Give me a break.
My opinion of the different faces is perhaps the different emotions you go through with that person you love dearly, that continues to hurt you with their choices & actions during addiction. Everything on the spectrum of love to hate. Obviously the idea is that regardless of what we've been through with that person, we'll always still love them. We will all have personal opinions on who Aaron was & what if anything his family could have done differently, but having been on both sides of that coin (addict/ person loving an addict) you should never really judge how other people deal with addiction & grief, however we can agree that loss is loss & pain is pain no matter what happened. Please do all you can for as long as you can & you might just save a life 💜
Coming from the perspective of the former addict and the things that I put my family through, I can see now how horrible it was and why they did the things they did to try and help me. My sister and brother in law had my (then) two year old son until he was 4 when I had finally sobered up and started changing my life around. Thankfully I made the choices to change and get sober. I've had my son back since just after his 4th birthday and he'll be 11 this year. But I had to make that choice. No one else could do it for me. It's one thing when you can finally look in the mirror and see how different you are and what you need to do to fix it. It's another when everyone around you wants it, but you. Now I'm almost 6 years at the same company, just got a promotion to be a lead, and literally just stared going back to school today for my BS in Health Administration and Information Management. It's been a long road and having to try different medications and learning to keep perspective, but it's been worth every minute. It breaks my heart that Nick and his family had been through so much turmoil and heart ache. I can't imagine having this kind of pain and sadness all through childhood and to end up losing not one, but two siblings to drugs and mental illness, it's so heart breaking. I'm so proud of Nick for how far he's come on his own sober journey, and his own battle with demons. It's not easy to fight your own battles within as well as try to lift someone else at the same time. I don't blame him for eventually having to pull away for his own mental health and sobriety. This is a beautiful song, the most raw and open, honest words I've ever heard. Well done! ❤ I pray for peace and health for the entire Carter family and kids.
The video made me cry. Those who made those ugly comments about Nick are the same weirdos who said Aaron was fine, just sleepy as he’s nodding off. Pisses me off they really think Nick owes Aaron and Prince anything just because he’s famous.
These are very profound artists. This is a very personal song, and a very deep one. It could very well be that the parts where Nick is standing, and there is a side view of him at the same time that it could be on purpose, because Aaron is always a part of him that was my first thought.
I don’t find it being “Dramatic” at all. I find it not flashy but raw. Nick put into a song what he was feeling in his heart and people blamed him for being silent about his brothers death. But yet he opened up his heart and soul in the best way he knew how. Through music. He let us all in on how much it hurts to have a friend or family member struggle. See the downright spiral and not being able to force him to get better. Aaron wasn’t a child. He had choices. Ultimately this ended in tragedy as so often it does with addiction and mental health. Nick had his share of battling addiction but he made the decision to turn his life around. When it comes down to it he has 3 very small children and he had to do what he could to protect them. So anyone who has something to say about him profiting from this is an inhumane human. Until it happens to you and you live it you have no right to say anything. I loved sober Aaron but if you have watched his lives he talks about family wanting to get him help. In his exact words he was sober 5 years. You have to take responsibility for your actions. I know from experience from self medicating with alcohol and it almost destroyed my life. But I emphasize I let it happen. The addict thinks that they are only hurting themselves. But it takes down all the people in your life that love you. A beautiful tribute that Nick didn’t do for publicity but to heal ❤️🩹 Aaron was extremely talented and I loved sober Aaron. It comes down to tough love. Much respect for Nick to allow us into his heart because I believe many people can relate. I hope he can heal and others can as well who have lived with the helplessness of trying to save someone who doesn’t want saved. 💔
I agree I didn't find it dramatic at all, if anything it was very subdued and Nick shows a lot of maturity and dignity in the video. I love the song and video. They were still brothers at the end of the day. God bless Aaron and Nick 👏❤🙏💕🕊
I think this was for both of them since they grew up in the buisness and Aaron was essentially his little buddy growing up. Addiction is a nasty beast. He always said to him when he is ready to go to him and he would be there to help even with the retraining order. They were scared for him. He did a lot over the years then their own parents. There’s a point where it hurts.
I feel that this music video is a beautiful tribute to Aaron. He loved his brother so much and always will. Due to Aaron not taking care of his mental health and addictions, Nick had to distance himself. He did all he could to help and love him, but Aaron sadly refused. I recently stumbled across your channel, and I am so glad I did. Your videos are well put together and give an unbiased view of the whole Aaron situation. You were never bashing him. Your videos are like mirrors reflecting truths. Thank you for your hard work.
I was thinking the double face was cause Aaron was part of him… That was his lil bro, his other half…. And now he’s gone and that’s why in the last shot it goes to just one face… 😭 I also notice the white flowers are dead in each scene except at the end with some light shining…. I thought that could be because now Aaron is finally at peace and well. 💔
Girl- I just binged most of ur latest interviews and GATDAMB you have blossomed into such a well though, introspective, just all arnd beautiful and BASED person🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤💯so glad to have been spending the last cpl years w you. If ANYONE is gonna talk on the aaron stuff- you're the one. At least the one I'm subbed to, will share out, stan, and come back to myself. I dont normally give a fuck abt the aaron stuff either tbh but girl the stories and ways ur putting everything together.. just brilliant. Sending positive vibes
Thank you sooo much! I really appreciate you even sticking through all of this bs because i know it can be alot and im honored that you chose to stick through it with me me. ❤️
@@PostidMedia darlinnnnn you're doing such well produced and thought through explanations and your opinions and facts on the matters. It's like you're making this shit show digestible to me, but it's not even just the shitshow I'm here for- its u and how you* do what you do with it.✊ Happy to have been here since early on and it truly is something special to see someone u were rooting for finally start getting some of the attn their videos need! If anyones gonna go anywhere on this - I'm talking anywhere- big channels, small, even news outlets- you're the one beautiful. You're the one💯✔✊ Looking forward to whatever it is u keep putting out there. I dig this ride and I'm definitely not getting off anytime soon☺️🖤
Well not to say at all u didn't get views before, but after this all happened and it seems people have been searching a bit more- I do hope ur VODS are put in the algorithm properly and more people get to see the retrospective facts and truths of the matter. I respect the unbiased interviews u give also. Like, just everything ur doing is so well done I also wanna mention like, the DV videos you have done and were able to show his patterns, but also still make it abt abuse in general and the hows and whys and whats. Just. Lol alright I'll get outta here for now haha but u have a lot of talent and the humbling attitude you have with it is just so beautiful. Hope ur having a good Friday! For sure will be catching the next one, and the one after that. And so on✔✊
You literally just made my day. Sometimes its hard to keep making content when you dont feel like its getting the recognition that it should but comments like these no matter how few or many make all the hard work and research worth it. Im just glad to be considered a voice of reason in all of the white noise. I truly appreciate you taking the time to write this, and i wanna remind you my comment section, and dms are always open to new video & topic ideas. Have a kick a$$ friday 💪🏾
@@PostidMedia oh gosh yes!!! Yea yea yea! R u postid media on IG also? I'll send a follow and oh goodness! Anything u look into ur gonna break it open! I'll keep some good ones in mind on the back burner! And that warms my heart (lol) to know that meant something to you! I don't often spend too much times in comment sections nowadays but rly felt I wanted u to know I genuinely feel this way lol, and definitely see u doing u. It still blows my mind every time I go to ur channel and see and know the videos and time u have put up, they're masterpieces! Oh, and as for u feeling better receiving a heartfelt genuine comment of appreciation, that's how I feel as an audience member when u post a new video! Like, you're actually taking the time and effort to give ur audience top quality research and understanding. It goes both ways✊🙏
This is a great song and I l praise nick for putting out his raw genuine emotion in this song. Not sure how people are unable to see that nick is heartbroken over his brothers death just because he had to distance himself because aaron truly did not want help. 💔
if he had put just home vids of them with the song, it would’ve made a bigger impact because you could just see innocent kids not knowing how it would all inevitably end.. he’s just showing himself tbh and when he shows aaron he’s covering the screen with his face idk i just don’t like it 🤷🏽♀️
Unless you have dealt with addiction or loved an addict, you just won't get it. I also feel like whatever Nick did, someone would find an issue with it. If he makes a song, he's trying to capitalize off his death. If he did nothing, they would say he didn't care.
8.26 prime example. Its on purpose. Maybe he knows he is twofaced. Aaron needed to hear those words when he was alive. Aaron said it on his lives how he loved his brother. Nick didnt. He wiped him out his life and never acknowledged his existence.
Who exactly got Aaron on drugs in the first place?? Nick got him started. I understand the tough love thing. I don’t blame Nick. Very deep and heartbreaking. My daughter is a heroine addict, I know the anger is real I don’t agree with the restraining orders. I just don’t
I don’t know why everyone is holding Nick responsible for Aaron’s death. Aaron was deeply disturbed and made allegations against Nick that he contradicted on the daily. Watch some of Aaron’s lives and all those who enabled him. I don’t know why everyone has amnesia about Aaron’s bad behavior and all the enablers…Morgan, Louie, check and many more.
I know what you mean and I know they tried putting him in rehab quit a few time's but to completely cutt him off😒off tho and then that restraining order...people just have different opinions about it and it's so sad all around especially with that family how they were. Prayers to all them. That one clip of Nick tho in the tub ticked me off a bit.
That video is 2 yrs old. Nick has a whole family of his own, if he had to cut off aaron & jane for his own sanity so he can raise his kids properly, i commend him.
@@PostidMedia I didn't know it was 2years old lol ppl would put that up to piss ppl off huh. And I know he has a family if his own, I know he wanted to stay away from Aaron cuz he had drug problems too. But to completely cut him off😔it's just sad to me. He couldn't see them once in a blue moon maybe idk....
@@magicvampirelver1321 You don't know what really happened behind, we are not part of this family. Maybe Nick did try to talk to him in private. Plus, Aaron was an addict and he kept pushing away everyone that would try to help him.
@ Rico you can just come out and say it. You have always bashed AC. Everyone acts like they know every detail about what went on that wasn’t on social media. That’s a joke. AC loved Nick and Nick loved AC. Nick my dear cut off Jane a long time ago, that was not due to AC. And for you to hang onto what Sofa couch says is ridiculous.
He wrote this song before Aaron died, I wonder why he didn't reach out to Aaron before he died, especially when thing got really really bad last year and people knew it could any day that Aaron passed. I hate to say that but it's the truth. Nick is going to live his whole life with that guilt.
Keep The mean comments to your self never wish guilt on someone that lost his brother. Look that would all beat the purpose if he sang to him while he was alive. Because Cleary he waited.Bcause he knew that the song he wrote he want to dedicate to his brother when he passed. Listen to the song instead judging. The song said he always prayed for somehow peace could touch your soul.Now if it was ment to played then. The song might of said I always pray somehow that peace will touch your soul. The key word in the song I always PRAYED. See the ed. Nick tried to help Aaron. Aaron told everyone his family to leave him alone. Aaron was stubborn didn’t want no one help. Aaron thought he could have it under control his self the situation with the addiction. Face it Nick wrote that song before. Because he knew tho he had hope.
@@vangieloyaltyreynoldss4265 excuse me? What mean comment? I didn't wish guilt in anyone, I simply said he will have to live with that guilt the rest of his life.
@@imjustagirl look there no guilt it not Nick Carter fault his brother was hardheaded and didn’t think he need extra help. When Cleary he did need that help.
@@imjustagirl look there no guilt it not Nick Carter fault his brother Aaron Carter was hardheaded and didn’t thing he need extra help. When Cleary he did need that help.
@@brianneholmberg8200 thats not true.. Nick didn’t start the charity himself, it’s been around and is a REAL childrens mental health organization(On Our Sleeves look it up) many celebrities work with. Do some research before making things up.
Omg such a generic song. Without Aaron's clout that would never be number 1. Congratulation to Nick and his wife. They finally got rid of Aaron. 3 DUI and bar arrest when Nick was older than Aaron. What a great role model. Poor Lesley and Aaron who were exploited on his shitty reality show to create a narrative of Mr. perfect Nick.
@@blah_blah_blah_ Yes Aaron's clout already gained Nick over 320K new followers after his death. Nick got the best gift he could imagine. He waited to this day to come to release his shitty song. He has never been a good solo artist. Good for him exploiting his brother for clout.

Aaron lost any and all hope in humanity years ago from all his trauma he is experienced growing up. I would love to know what Momma Jane thought when she watched Nick's video for the first time.
Nice tribute nick..I agree with you.. aaron didn't want help.
Those comments are ridiculous. We all have cut out toxic people from our lives. Sometimes it’s best to love from a distance. Aaron. Did. Not. Want. Anyones. Help. It’s not Nicks fault. Aaron didn’t want Nick around him.
I'm glad you said Nick did help. Prayers for that whole family. 💔♥️💜🙏
My bro-in-law tried to help his brother with addiction. You can only do so much, like you said. He was an alcoholic and didn’t want the help. There comes a time when you can’t give up your own life if that person doesnt want your help.
I loved the video. I think that Nick tried to help Aaron, but, like I said above, can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. Nick loved Aaron and he always will.
I felt like it was a heartfelt tribute song and he even wrote this apparently several months before Aaron passed away because he was thinking about a way to reconcile with Aaron and thats why I believe he initially wrote this song so maybe he could use music as a way to show he cared about his brother because music was a language they both understood, at least that’s what I saw fans of Nick write…
Ofcourse we don’t know how Aaron would react to that and if he would get over his anger/jealousy towards Nick…
And now its a tribute song to Aaron obviously…
And yeah, LMG is not having it, Scotian Savage isn’t having it (ofcourse), but these people should maybe take a look in the mirror someday.
Like all they did was support AC and they never did anything “wrong” in their life…
Give me a break, imo Nick did try his best to help AC, but I just don’t think he was ready to accept anyones help, let alone, his own brother who he envied and bashed time and time again…
Nick did more for Aaron than any lmg or scotian did. Aaron needed treatment and rehab, music touring boxing wasn’t/wouldnt/didn’t save Aaron. he needed to get healthy then maybe those things could have been his new vice that kept him going. But until in a better state of mind, the man couldn’t anything. Scotian, as far as I could tel never pushed for rehab. He ignored so much for so long.
Lmg kept telling him he was fine and attacked people who said different. They only ever believe what Aaron said. In my mind, lmg did far damage than good. And I will always remind them how they held Aaron’s hand and helped him to an early grave.
@@bridgetbui95 facts
@@bridgetbui95 very well said. I'm really confused and baffled by the hate and ridicule Nick is getting from Scotian when Scotian not only also cut Aaron out of his life due to his issues, but he also just released a song as a tribute to Aaron. But when Nick does it for his own brother who he actually tried for years to get help, it's for clout? Give me a break.
You say LMG did this and did that. AC had legitimate fans who did care about him. LMG could say the same about the BSB gang and haters.
My opinion of the different faces is perhaps the different emotions you go through with that person you love dearly, that continues to hurt you with their choices & actions during addiction. Everything on the spectrum of love to hate.
Obviously the idea is that regardless of what we've been through with that person, we'll always still love them.
We will all have personal opinions on who Aaron was & what if anything his family could have done differently, but having been on both sides of that coin (addict/ person loving an addict) you should never really judge how other people deal with addiction & grief, however we can agree that loss is loss & pain is pain no matter what happened.
Please do all you can for as long as you can & you might just save a life 💜

Coming from the perspective of the former addict and the things that I put my family through, I can see now how horrible it was and why they did the things they did to try and help me. My sister and brother in law had my (then) two year old son until he was 4 when I had finally sobered up and started changing my life around. Thankfully I made the choices to change and get sober. I've had my son back since just after his 4th birthday and he'll be 11 this year. But I had to make that choice. No one else could do it for me. It's one thing when you can finally look in the mirror and see how different you are and what you need to do to fix it. It's another when everyone around you wants it, but you. Now I'm almost 6 years at the same company, just got a promotion to be a lead, and literally just stared going back to school today for my BS in Health Administration and Information Management. It's been a long road and having to try different medications and learning to keep perspective, but it's been worth every minute. It breaks my heart that Nick and his family had been through so much turmoil and heart ache. I can't imagine having this kind of pain and sadness all through childhood and to end up losing not one, but two siblings to drugs and mental illness, it's so heart breaking. I'm so proud of Nick for how far he's come on his own sober journey, and his own battle with demons. It's not easy to fight your own battles within as well as try to lift someone else at the same time. I don't blame him for eventually having to pull away for his own mental health and sobriety. This is a beautiful song, the most raw and open, honest words I've ever heard. Well done! ❤ I pray for peace and health for the entire Carter family and kids.
The video made me cry. Those who made those ugly comments about Nick are the same weirdos who said Aaron was fine, just sleepy as he’s nodding off. Pisses me off they really think Nick owes Aaron and Prince anything just because he’s famous.
Aaron couldn't give it up...not even for mel and his son..addiction is he'll. Most can't get out of it.
We know that if Aaron was alive, he would be crapping on this song....
@@zeuna Because it's a shitty narcissistic song.
@@Jennifer-gn7um I mean, I wouldn't raise arguments against that
These are very profound artists. This is a very personal song, and a very deep one. It could very well be that the parts where Nick is standing, and there is a side view of him at the same time that it could be on purpose, because Aaron is always a part of him that was my first thought.
Aaron didn’t want help. He lived his own private hell even though he went on live acting like he’s on top of the world. Addiction is brutal.
I don’t find it being “Dramatic” at all. I find it not flashy but raw. Nick put into a song what he was feeling in his heart and people blamed him for being silent about his brothers death. But yet he opened up his heart and soul in the best way he knew how. Through music. He let us all in on how much it hurts to have a friend or family member struggle. See the downright spiral and not being able to force him to get better.
Aaron wasn’t a child. He had choices. Ultimately this ended in tragedy as so often it does with addiction and mental health. Nick had his share of battling addiction but he made the decision to turn his life around. When it comes down to it he has 3 very small children and he had to do what he could to protect them.
So anyone who has something to say about him profiting from this is an inhumane human. Until it happens to you and you live it you have no right to say anything.
I loved sober Aaron but if you have watched his lives he talks about family wanting to get him help. In his exact words he was sober 5 years. You have to take responsibility for your actions. I know from experience from self medicating with alcohol and it almost destroyed my life. But I emphasize I let it happen. The addict thinks that they are only hurting themselves. But it takes down all the people in your life that love you.
A beautiful tribute that Nick didn’t do for publicity but to heal ❤️🩹 Aaron was extremely talented and I loved sober Aaron. It comes down to tough love.
Much respect for Nick to allow us into his heart because I believe many people can relate. I hope he can heal and others can as well who have lived with the helplessness of trying to save someone who doesn’t want saved. 💔
I agree I didn't find it dramatic at all, if anything it was very subdued and Nick shows a lot of maturity and dignity in the video. I love the song and video. They were still brothers at the end of the day. God bless Aaron and Nick 👏❤🙏💕🕊
i argee with the song and nick as i have passed away loved ones too and not only that but im his 23 year fan and i was aaron carters fan too
I love it. It's such a beautiful tribute to his little brother.
I think this was for both of them since they grew up in the buisness and Aaron was essentially his little buddy growing up. Addiction is a nasty beast. He always said to him when he is ready to go to him and he would be there to help even with the retraining order. They were scared for him. He did a lot over the years then their own parents. There’s a point where it hurts.
I feel that this music video is a beautiful tribute to Aaron. He loved his brother so much and always will. Due to Aaron not taking care of his mental health and addictions, Nick had to distance himself. He did all he could to help and love him, but Aaron sadly refused. I recently stumbled across your channel, and I am so glad I did. Your videos are well put together and give an unbiased view of the whole Aaron situation. You were never bashing him. Your videos are like mirrors reflecting truths. Thank you for your hard work.
Always look forward to your vids,thanks for keeping it 💯
I appreciate you following this rabbit hole with me
I was thinking the double face was cause Aaron was part of him… That was his lil bro, his other half…. And now he’s gone and that’s why in the last shot it goes to just one face… 😭 I also notice the white flowers are dead in each scene except at the end with some light shining…. I thought that could be because now Aaron is finally at peace and well. 💔
Girl- I just binged most of ur latest interviews and GATDAMB you have blossomed into such a well though, introspective, just all arnd beautiful and BASED person🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤💯so glad to have been spending the last cpl years w you.
If ANYONE is gonna talk on the aaron stuff- you're the one.
At least the one I'm subbed to, will share out, stan, and come back to myself.
I dont normally give a fuck abt the aaron stuff either tbh but girl the stories and ways ur putting everything together.. just brilliant.
Sending positive vibes
Thank you sooo much! I really appreciate you even sticking through all of this bs because i know it can be alot and im honored that you chose to stick through it with me me. ❤️
@@PostidMedia darlinnnnn you're doing such well produced and thought through explanations and your opinions and facts on the matters. It's like you're making this shit show digestible to me, but it's not even just the shitshow I'm here for- its u and how you* do what you do with it.✊
Happy to have been here since early on and it truly is something special to see someone u were rooting for finally start getting some of the attn their videos need! If anyones gonna go anywhere on this - I'm talking anywhere- big channels, small, even news outlets- you're the one beautiful. You're the one💯✔✊
Looking forward to whatever it is u keep putting out there. I dig this ride and I'm definitely not getting off anytime soon☺️🖤
Well not to say at all u didn't get views before, but after this all happened and it seems people have been searching a bit more- I do hope ur VODS are put in the algorithm properly and more people get to see the retrospective facts and truths of the matter.
I respect the unbiased interviews u give also. Like, just everything ur doing is so well done
I also wanna mention like, the DV videos you have done and were able to show his patterns, but also still make it abt abuse in general and the hows and whys and whats.
Just. Lol alright I'll get outta here for now haha but u have a lot of talent and the humbling attitude you have with it is just so beautiful.
Hope ur having a good Friday! For sure will be catching the next one, and the one after that. And so on✔✊
You literally just made my day. Sometimes its hard to keep making content when you dont feel like its getting the recognition that it should but comments like these no matter how few or many make all the hard work and research worth it. Im just glad to be considered a voice of reason in all of the white noise. I truly appreciate you taking the time to write this, and i wanna remind you my comment section, and dms are always open to new video & topic ideas. Have a kick a$$ friday 💪🏾
@@PostidMedia oh gosh yes!!! Yea yea yea! R u postid media on IG also? I'll send a follow and oh goodness! Anything u look into ur gonna break it open! I'll keep some good ones in mind on the back burner!
And that warms my heart (lol) to know that meant something to you! I don't often spend too much times in comment sections nowadays but rly felt I wanted u to know I genuinely feel this way lol, and definitely see u doing u. It still blows my mind every time I go to ur channel and see and know the videos and time u have put up, they're masterpieces!
Oh, and as for u feeling better receiving a heartfelt genuine comment of appreciation, that's how I feel as an audience member when u post a new video! Like, you're actually taking the time and effort to give ur audience top quality research and understanding. It goes both ways✊🙏
Always a fan of BSB. Always listened to their music and still do. I love the song
This is a great song and I l praise nick for putting out his raw genuine emotion in this song. Not sure how people are unable to see that nick is heartbroken over his brothers death just because he had to distance himself because aaron truly did not want help. 💔
I’m sure Aaron Carter will love it January 18th. Aaron gone but with Nick in sprit during this time definitely. I can Guarantee.
if he had put just home vids of them with the song, it would’ve made a bigger impact because you could just see innocent kids not knowing how it would all inevitably end.. he’s just showing himself tbh and when he shows aaron he’s covering the screen with his face idk i just don’t like it 🤷🏽♀️
♡
I think it was a heartfelt song. I think he’s misses AC, and you can feel it in this song 🥺 I know it was a long, sad road for him.
Great reaction video ❤ I'm curious for Melanie's reaction to this music video and what her thoughts are
Im glad you enjoyed it, i also wonder how mel feels about it
Unless you have dealt with addiction or loved an addict, you just won't get it. I also feel like whatever Nick did, someone would find an issue with it. If he makes a song, he's trying to capitalize off his death. If he did nothing, they would say he didn't care.
Awww thank you for the heart Rico! @postid
Of course! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment
Me gustó mucho que Nick Carter le haya hecho un tributo.a su hermano Aron Carter.
Es un buen video 🤣 para que lo siga recordando.en su memoria.
Es un buen video 🤣 para que lo siga recordando.en su memoria.
💯 Great points Rico as always
💯 good looks 💪🏾
he hasn’t put his pride aside enough to see prince tho!
He might plan on it
Yes, please stream the benefit concert
Not a fan of his voice but this song is fire! When you get a chance look up “Drowning” by murder4hire (Big Mike) that’d be a cool reaction from you
8.26 prime example. Its on purpose. Maybe he knows he is twofaced. Aaron needed to hear those words when he was alive. Aaron said it on his lives how he loved his brother. Nick didnt. He wiped him out his life and never acknowledged his existence.
Nah bob had other kids much later than that home video those other kids are probably friends
Who exactly got Aaron on drugs in the first place?? Nick got him started. I understand the tough love thing. I don’t blame Nick. Very deep and heartbreaking. My daughter is a heroine addict, I know the anger is real I don’t agree with the restraining orders. I just don’t
He said in a live that he started on coke because it kept him going, i remember him saying his mom but in the industry it could’ve been anybody
I don’t know why everyone is holding Nick responsible for Aaron’s death. Aaron was deeply disturbed and made allegations against Nick that he contradicted on the daily. Watch some of Aaron’s lives and all those who enabled him. I don’t know why everyone has amnesia about Aaron’s bad behavior and all the enablers…Morgan, Louie, check and many more.
I know what you mean and I know they tried putting him in rehab quit a few time's but to completely cutt him off😒off tho and then that restraining order...people just have different opinions about it and it's so sad all around especially with that family how they were. Prayers to all them. That one clip of Nick tho in the tub ticked me off a bit.
That video is 2 yrs old. Nick has a whole family of his own, if he had to cut off aaron & jane for his own sanity so he can raise his kids properly, i commend him.
@@PostidMedia I didn't know it was 2years old lol ppl would put that up to piss ppl off huh. And I know he has a family if his own, I know he wanted to stay away from Aaron cuz he had drug problems too. But to completely cut him off😔it's just sad to me. He couldn't see them once in a blue moon maybe idk....
@@magicvampirelver1321 You don't know what really happened behind, we are not part of this family. Maybe Nick did try to talk to him in private. Plus, Aaron was an addict and he kept pushing away everyone that would try to help him.
@@magicvampirelver1321 Aaron did threaten to kill Nick's wife and unborn child, I completely see why Nick cut him off.
@ Rico you can just come out and say it. You have always bashed AC. Everyone acts like they know every detail about what went on that wasn’t on social media. That’s a joke. AC loved Nick and Nick loved AC. Nick my dear cut off Jane a long time ago, that was not due to AC. And for you to hang onto what Sofa couch says is ridiculous.
The song is really beautiful...but the video is a bit "too much" for me.
Can't really describe it. No hate though
He wrote this song before Aaron died, I wonder why he didn't reach out to Aaron before he died, especially when thing got really really bad last year and people knew it could any day that Aaron passed. I hate to say that but it's the truth. Nick is going to live his whole life with that guilt.
I agree. The whole situation is so sad tho.
Keep The mean comments to your self never wish guilt on someone that lost his brother. Look that would all beat the purpose if he sang to him while he was alive. Because Cleary he waited.Bcause he knew that the song he wrote he want to dedicate to his brother when he passed. Listen to the song instead judging. The song said he always prayed for somehow peace could touch your soul.Now if it was ment to played then. The song might of said I always pray somehow that peace will touch your soul. The key word in the song I always PRAYED. See the ed. Nick tried to help Aaron. Aaron told everyone his family to leave him alone. Aaron was stubborn didn’t want no one help. Aaron thought he could have it under control his self the situation with the addiction. Face it Nick wrote that song before. Because he knew tho he had hope.
@@vangieloyaltyreynoldss4265 excuse me? What mean comment? I didn't wish guilt in anyone, I simply said he will have to live with that guilt the rest of his life.
@@imjustagirl look there no guilt it not Nick Carter fault his brother was hardheaded and didn’t think he need extra help. When Cleary he did need that help.

Omg such a generic song. Without Aaron's clout that would never be number 1. Congratulation to Nick and his wife. They finally got rid of Aaron. 3 DUI and bar arrest when Nick was older than Aaron. What a great role model. Poor Lesley and Aaron who were exploited on his shitty reality show to create a narrative of Mr. perfect Nick.
Aaron's clout 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@blah_blah_blah_ Yes Aaron's clout already gained Nick over 320K new followers after his death. Nick got the best gift he could imagine. He waited to this day to come to release his shitty song. He has never been a good solo artist. Good for him exploiting his brother for clout.
