I chose to have this song played at my 33 years young sisters funeral last month. She loved social d as much as I do, and it was perfect for her life. I really thought she was invincible with everything she overcame in life and beat, surviving the unthinkable time and time again. She lived for the moment. I wanted her sons to hear this song played to help them realize life can be cut too short and appreciate every moment.
Charlie Browm Yes, this was the version I had them play. More appropriate than the faster version. I love both, but acoustic gets me for this song. And thank you.
My bday is this month. I had a father, a mother, and a sister. All passed on. First bday without direct blood on this earth. It's hitting hard. I'm left reaching for the sky. Rest In Peace sweet family.
This song was my favorite to listen to back in 2015 post brain surgery for a brain tumor, I was given 3/5 years to live, this song I’m playing it now because I’m still alive today God bless ❤️🙏🙌
Still here 2025 ☝️☝️🌟🙌👊👊👊✊✅ I made the ten years post brain surgery fighting brain cancer in 2015 , I was given 3/5 years to live and I thank the lord our God everyday for carrying me through the storm in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Sure I don't I have only seen Social Distortion 3 times and own all their records but I don't know what real music is... Hey I have not been to college either for music production... Take it from aspen he knows everything.. He is so good with his ear at hearing good music several bands gt their start up from his dude when he discovered them in a bar..
I sat with Mike at Ichabods in Fullerton the night before he was going to be incarcerated. I told him he had a great future in his music and not to give up hope or drive. I hope I played a small part in his success
To all people reading this while listening to this rare piece of music. I think we can all agree something like this shouldnt be taken for granted and social distortion is a unique and amazing band. I hope, as it has for me so far, this song will be there for you in bad and good times. One of those songs that can melt and fix ones heart. Love to all of you and especially the band for doing this!!!
I had a father once who may have not been my blood but that old man took me to my first SD concert for my 22nd birthday. He showed me what good real hearted music is about. These guys are gunna lie in my heart as one of my favorite bands of all time. Thanks pops RIP
Still here 2025 😃✌️ this song helped me through many times while fighting cancer 10 years ago 😅 still fighting the good fight . With the help of the lord our God and Jesus Christ our savior
Damn… that day finally came when I had something to lose, and in the blink of an eye it could have been gone, laying in a hospital bed begging for one more day. Wherever you are, whatever your doing, don’t EVER give up. I reach for the sky every day! Every day above ground is a good day! God Bless.
This version is awesome!!! I remember reading an old interview with Mike Ness, he said he writes all his songs on acoustic first, then electrifies them. Bad Religion does the same. There's certainly something to that process because both are incredible song writers
I'd been a fan of the original version for many years. But then in summer 2020, in the thick of the pandemic, weeks away from the birth of my first child (my son), I stumbled across this version and it hit me in the heart so hard it brought me to tears. Then on the day my son was born my brother was found dead in his apartment. I wish I could thank these guys for how much this song means to me.
Today is the 5 year anniversary of my brothers death and we both love/ed Social D fiercely. I found this version many years ago and we both loved it. We would play it during special occasions. Since his Death I had been staying away from it but today of all days it popped up on my Playlist of almost 500 songs. This song means the world to me.
unreal how good this sounds..better than the original fast version..these boys were on that day in az...mike ness one of the most underrated musicians of our time.
+Brian Gorman But he sounds sick as shit. His voice has always been awsome. but I have $500 in headphones and sound card on my PC and the back vocals sound like shit.
I just want to say this, I recently went to a Social Distortion gig. There were a lot older adults, but I'm sixteen and my friend is going on sixteen. I love to see how a band can, and will, keep reaching people from generation to generation. It's amazing.

When I was young I was invincible, I find myself now thinking twice, I never thought about no future, its just the roll of the dice. But the day may come when you've got something to lose, and just when you think you're done paying dues And you say to yourself, dear God what Have I done? And hope its not too late 'cause tomorrow may never come. [Chorus:] Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come Yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery But baby right now, its just about you and me, You can run you can hide, just like Bonnie and Clyde Reach for the sky ain't never gonna die, and I thank the Lord for the love I have found and hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come. [Chorus] So if you please take this moment Try if you can make it last Don't think about no future and just forget about the past and make it last.
Great track!.. thought about, leaving this world a few hours ago,.. I've lost a lot, but gained some too.. i looked towards the sky, with this track playing over and over.. it has helped, thank you! 1❤
The world may be a big place and you may seem so small in it, but know it wouldn't be the same without your presence. Life can get tough and times but I know you can get stronger. The downs will always plateau at some point and you will always be able to pick yourself up. I hope you can always find some happiness within yourself during your dark times. Just remember, even people you don't know, appreciate you.
Someone else here said that SD is the one band that suits all phases of their life. I find that to be true for me as well. Ness just has that talent for writing about whats real and can be related to by most folks. They have helped carry me through my teens, 20s, 30s, and presently 40s. And hopefully many more years to come, though tomorrow is promised to no one.

I've been listening to Social D/Mike Ness for almost 20 years now. I've had the pleasure of seeing them play live. I remember jamming to them in my childhood bedroom when I was a young kid full of angst. I now just play them over my computer and in the truck heading to & from work. I must say, this recording was absolutely moving. 41 people have no taste or sense in good music.
Discovered this band way too late in life.(when I was 16. I'm 32 now.) Been a fan ever since. This band helped me in most of the tough parts of my life to this day and I will always be a fan.
I know this song reminds a lot of us about loved ones that are not with us anymore.. for me that’s my best friend Marc, he was my boy, my partner in crime, God Father to my son, I miss you so much my brother, words just can’t describe. 🙏🥰😢
Every time I hear this song it makes me think of me n my boy Marc running wild causing fun troubles having the time of our lives with so much ahead of us.. he’s been gone 2 years now and it’s just the worst, especially knowing he won’t see my kid grow up, I miss you my brother, always, RIP 🙏✊😥
Me and my twin thought we were Invinsable.. But we all pay our dues. And tomorrow really never comes when you need it to. She took her life, so I take this moment, but will never forget about the past.
2024 still here

Wow that's powerful, was it this version that was played?
And sorry for your loss
Charlie Browm Yes, this was the version I had them play. More appropriate than the faster version. I love both, but acoustic gets me for this song. And thank you.
+Christine Bond I'm sorry for your loss. And thank you for sharing your story. I also love this acoustic version very much.
Sorry for your loss.

😢 I don't have words, my brother. I send you a big hug, brother!
God is always with you, you will see the family on beautiful day I assure you 🙌❤️😊🙏Amen.
Stay strong!
This song was my favorite to listen to back in 2015 post brain surgery for a brain tumor, I was given 3/5 years to live, this song I’m playing it now because I’m still alive today God bless ❤️🙏🙌
Still here? Because I bow to your resilience
🙏
You surly are blessed. Praise God. May you live forever in happiness and blessed joy.

God bless you
One of the best and most original bands ever.

I cant believe people actually dis-liked this... This is a fucking masterpiece...
Those people don't know real music.
Sure I don't I have only seen Social Distortion 3 times and own all their records but I don't know what real music is... Hey I have not been to college either for music production... Take it from aspen he knows everything.. He is so good with his ear at hearing good music several bands gt their start up from his dude when he discovered them in a bar..
i prefer the original version though..
People dislike everything that exicst.
I've got a reedy voice like Ness, What a songwriter, wish I'd followed my dream. Respect geezer 😎
I sat with Mike at Ichabods in Fullerton the night before he was going to be incarcerated. I told him he had a great future in his music and not to give up hope or drive. I hope I played a small part in his success
What year was that? Thank you!

im 62 and still listen to this daily... thanks for posting this masterpiece
thanks again.. i dont know how the world made it with out this band
This album helped me through a real bad depression. Hearing the acoustic version is so powerful.
Social D in general has helped me thru MANY dark times over decades. This one, Angels Wings and Don't Take Me for Granted are all you need to live by
You said it. All of my depressions. I proudly have a dancing skeleton on my inside forearm to keep the demons away.

Saw them at the Filmore Sat night. Can you say spectacular?? They killed it-great show. Rock on Social D.!
The harmony by the bass player is incredible.
Yes indeed 😊
Beautiful
Music speaks louder than simply words. This song says everything! Beautiful.
This version gives me goosebumps...his voice is perfection :)
I wholeheartedly agree
You're perfection bby, hit me up girl.
Gives me goosebumps too. It’s just so beautiful. The pain and anguish in his voice is something special
you no!
😁✌🏻linda cancion
Goosebumps inducer.
this Band is one of the best bands to ever grace our ears . . .it is real unrefined and to the point . . Great song writer Mike Ness
Always makes me think of friends no longer with us. Sometimes with a smile, sometimes a tear.
Rip Bigfoot and Kidd. Gone but not forgotten.
The vocal harmony of Ness & Harding is marvelous !!!
Holy hell it’s good🤘
Best social d live ever....best live any band ever..this song is perfect
Found this gem today. On repeat now 😶 Amazing
You lucky bastard, I've been listening for 8 years, best cover ever!
2024 still and always a fan
Great version of this song, and that bass player's backing vocals... amazing! He's like Mike Ness's personal angel.
They have my vote for one of the greatest bands ever. All of their acoustic live stuff is over the top- cant get enough!
I've listened to this song about 20x in a row.....doesn't get old. Sets my mind at ease
Absolutely beautiful!❤

Merci, tellement!!
After all these hard years Jesus has helped me through I've been listening to Social D and feels so good to hear them involve faith in their lyrics!
Wow. That hit me way harder than I thought it would...vulnerable, pure, near perfect musically.
Mike Ness is, hands down, the coolest dude on the planet.
You have not met me sir. Lol.
I have to agree
Brandon Del Pozo agreed
✊👌🤛

Brilliant version of this track
This is an amazing version. So beautiful. I can't stop listening to it

+Brian Gorman Sounds good but he needs better backing vocals.
+Brian Gorman From a hard core Social D fan
+Brian Gorman But he sounds sick as shit. His voice has always been awsome. but I have $500 in headphones and sound card on my PC and the back vocals sound like shit.
+Joshua D. Backing vocals sound awesome to me, love the country falsetto feel
I've always liked Social Distortion and I like this song. I just found their acoustic stuff by mistake. I love this version! Powerful!!!
I just want to say this, I recently went to a Social Distortion gig. There were a lot older adults, but I'm sixteen and my friend is going on sixteen. I love to see how a band can, and will, keep reaching people from generation to generation. It's amazing.
Always give me spirit if I listening mike ness singing this song.
Absolutely old school legends
Why would somebody downvote this?!?! It's literally Social Distortion with an accordian!
By far the best rendition I have ever heard of this song. Thanks for sharing
Those harmonies are amazing. You can see how much Brent feels every single note. Marvelous.
Brilliant.
Absolutely Beautiful! After all these years, true legends.

RIP POPS we luv ya
When I was young I was invincible,
I find myself now thinking twice,
I never thought about no future,
its just the roll of the dice.
But the day may come when you've got something to lose,
and just when you think you're done paying dues
And you say to yourself, dear God what Have I done?
And hope its not too late 'cause tomorrow may never come.
[Chorus:]
Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come
Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come
Yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery
But baby right now, its just about you and me,
You can run you can hide, just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky ain't never gonna die,
and I thank the Lord for the love I have found
and hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come.
[Chorus]
So if you please take this moment
Try if you can make it last
Don't think about no future and just forget about the past
and make it last.
Hell yes! One of my all time favorite bands! Timeless music.
Love his voice
great song!
wish i could hit the like button again.. such a wonderful.. song.. thanks again for posting this
I still can't get enough of social distortion in my life mike Ness is the one that keeps it real!
Brother Mike can pen a song like nobody's business... And this version of "Reach For The Sky" kicks all kinds of ass.
I’m miss music.
Social Distortion is so underrated. They were soundtrack to the best years of my life.
Well, that is, they were a big part of it.
Beautiful version. The voices, the acoustic guitars, everything.
A band that consistantly made great music.
Great track!.. thought about, leaving this world a few hours ago,.. I've lost a lot, but gained some too.. i looked towards the sky, with this track playing over and over.. it has helped, thank you! 1❤

Words are right out of my playbook 20 years ago riding MX
When I was young I was invincible
I found myself not thinking twice
I never thought about no future
It's just a roll of the dice
But the day may come when you got something to lose
And just when you think you're done paying dues
You say to yourself "Dear, God What have I Done?"
And hope its not too late cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Yesterday is history
And tomorrow is a mystery
But baby right now,
It's just about you and me
You can run you can hide
Just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky
ain't never gonna die
And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found
And hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
So if you please take this moment
Try if you can to make it last
Don't think about no future
And just forget about the past
And make it last
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never coming down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
I looked the translation. In this part " but being here right now, or But baby right now ?" which is the correct statement

Just discovered SD. I'm hooked. Wow fabulous performance of this song!
Nádhernej song...pecka CZ thx OC HC
Damn. Listen to this while going down a long country road while drinking lemonade. No worries. No anxiety. No cares. Can't be topped.
Listen to this while walking through a dirty and ugly city that you grew up in.
Discovered this band way too late in life.(when I was 16. I'm 32 now.) Been a fan ever since. This band helped me in most of the tough parts of my life to this day and I will always be a fan.
I know this song reminds a lot of us about loved ones that are not with us anymore.. for me that’s my best friend Marc, he was my boy, my partner in crime, God Father to my son, I miss you so much my brother, words just can’t describe. 🙏🥰😢

Sorry to hear about your loss. Best of luck in the future..

Foi a primeira musica do Social que eu ouvi, lembro que ouvi ela pela primeira vez em 2009, fiquei apaixonado pelo refrão
Beatiful
