    I come back to this video every couple months. There is not a single live performance that effects me more than this. This is such a pure example of putting your heart into your music. I shed a tear along with Collin every time I listen. RIP Tom

    This is why I love pop punk music, they sing with their hearts and souls, you feel it inside you when they sing. I think this song proves exactly that.

    I like how he is having trouble keeping it together but once his band and everyone is behind him he kind of snaps out of it. It’s like he realizes all those people have his back and it helps him finish the song

    I was so blessed to be a part of this. This song has helped me so much, and watching it live was almost cathartic. Especially when Col started crying. I already was, but the emotions ripped right through me even more. "Did what you had to do...its okay to lose, even angels sing the blues..." I lost my cousin, who was the closest thing I had to a brother, to suicide in March of 2017. This song brought everything back. Thank you grayscale, for everything.

    I’ll have you know that I literally brought a math textbook and studied in the crowd around the circle pits to make it to this. Simultaneously a high and low point of my semester. But so worth it 🤙🏼

    This killed me to watch. This song is insanely powerful and it makes me happy knowing that this song was performed the best possible way in the best possible city. I’m sad I wasn’t able to experience it live but no other way of playing this song could do it justice.

  • @franchidayat
    @franchidayat 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    your song made me shed tears without realizing it when I shuffled a playlist of songs on TH-cam in my office.
    I immediately thought of my brother who committed suicide at home.

    How could this possibly have 6 dislikes? Man this is an incredible performance. I think I read today that this was the first and last time they’ll ever play this live. I lost one of my best friends to an overdose while we were in college and this just hits deep man.

    I know this was so personal and so hard to sing and write but it’s such a good way to keep Tommy’s name alive. And The emotion on stage and energy of the crowd is such an incredible thing. We are always going to be here for you. I’ve been a fan myself for less than 1 year but already feel the emotional attachment and the feelings I get listening to this music is like no other

    • @LaVieBoheme517
      @LaVieBoheme517 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think this speaks to people often blaming themselves when a loved one takes their own life. He’s singing that acknowledging that Tom made the choice he thought he had to at the time.

    I’ll never ever forget that night, I’m so blessed that I was able to spend it with my best friend and to sing and feel every word of every song with her and everyone else In the room, especially at the barricade with all your friends and family there supporting you that night, such a cool thing to see. This band means so much to me and I’ll always be grateful for them and the art they create.

    I love this and can feel the emotion behind these lyrics. My band Sun Blind has a song 'Knowing the Bravest' about my best friend from college that lost his battle to his PTSD of serving our country. I had the hardest time singing the song in the studio.

    Eyes stinging red
    From tears clouding focus
    My edges broken glass
    Shattered, dull and bolus
    I sat in your living room, the same one
    That you snuck through for twenty years
    Trying to live them to their fullest
    Demons in your head
    Followed you the closest
    Spilles through every single doorway
    Grabbed you, wouldn't let you go
    And I laid in that living room
    Seven hours straight
    Didn't speak or move but I swear to God
    Swear to God I felt your soul
    And it's the small things
    That drove you insane
    Held your funeral
    On a perfect weather day
    No last goodbye, just silence made
    It's falling tears and falling rain
    Stood outside of your old bedroom
    Still this heavy air, sun dress, hollow view
    I would've been there to listen through
    Said it's okay to lose
    Even angels sing the blues
    I heard gospels
    In my head, in my head, in my head
    Close my eyes for just a glimpse
    You were gone when they opened
    Colbalt iris, dimpled cheeks
    With that smirk we'll never forget
    I swear I heard your spirit sing
    They promised me you found peace in your sleep
    I know you're fine, at least serene
    Watched your smile change in picture frames
    Through your best years
    Taking slow a life of pain
    No last goodbye, just silence made
    It's falling tears and falling rain
    Stood outside of your old bedroom
    Still this heavy air
    Sun dress, hollow view
    I would've been there to listen through
    Said it's okay to lose
    Even angels sing the blues
    I heard gospels singing in my head (Uuh)
    I heard gospels singing in my head
    I saw angels, they're holding your hand
    And I'm praying
    That it didn't hurt too badly, my friend
    I'll see you soon, it's not the end
    I heard gospels singing in my head
    I saw angels, they're holding your hand
    And I'm praying
    That it didn't hurt too badly, my friend
    I'll see you soon, it's not the end
    I heard gospels singing in my head
    I saw angels, they're holding your hand
    And I'm praying
    That it didn't hurt too badly, my friend
    I'll see you soon, this is not the end
    I thought about the brass
    Door handle you must've used
    To hang up your gloves
    Laces fall from your shoes
    No night goes by when
    I don't think of you
    We miss you so much, Tom
    Know that you miss us too
    Man I know that I'll see you soon
    Did what you had to do
    Even angels sing the blue
    Yeah, I know that I'll see you soon
    Did what you had to do
    Even angels sing the blues
