I was a infanryman for 4 years I relate so much to this song. I was introduced to this band by my buddy. He died in a IED explosion. This is my way to remember him.
Life is full of ups and downs ; it's how we react that defines us. I feel your loss, my best friend, 23 died while fighting ISIS recently. It was his 2nd tour in the middle east
My father was a WWII vet. I learned about his battles after he was gone. He was a warrior, and a fearless man. He was 18 when he volunteered. He raised 10 children, and died with 102 grandchildren, great grandkids, a couple of great great grandkids. His family is still growing. Its been 19 years since he passed away. I miss him every damn day. RIP Dad. You earned it.
Reminds ne of my grandfather. He was a police officer in Mexico in the late 70s to the late 90s. Thise day's were the cocaine days. He probably saw shit. He was a man of a few words and kept to to himself. He died feom COVID 19 in 2020. Je was a tough man with a loving heart
I have lost four grandfathers-in-law in WWII. My own grandfather was a komissar and hadnt participated in battles. Yes I`m Russian and i`m proud of it, my country has won this terrible war with huge casualties -20 million souls were lost.
My father is a veteran, my grandfather was a veteran, and his father before him. Here I stand, one year into the Army. And I have witnessed so much. I know I can do whatever it takes to become the man I dreamt of. Defending those I love, honoring those that have fallen.
It's not becoming the man you want to be but to cast a shadow as those before you had done . It's not a single person who keeps the creed but a long line who pass the torch.
I met a Vietnam Vet the other day. I shook his hand and said "welcome home soldier". His grip tightened and I could tell that was good for him to hear.
Tristan Moore im sorry for your father and your family and close ones I hope everything gets better over time may god bless your souls my friend things will get better over time we are strong and weak in our own different ways
My father is a Navy veteran. He served us in Desert Storm as well. He lost custody of my brother and I and it's tough living without him. God bless you, my friend.
@@somenbwithabadhistoryteach5872 I just read those comments xD In all seriousness, @Tristan Moore full respect to your old man, a hero who didn't deserve what happened

i remember my fifth grade teacher showing us this video, he was a veteran (medically discharged but still, he fought) and i just remember how somber the whole class was. ive never felt more moved by a music video in my whole life, never had lyrics resonate more inside my very core. i have deep respect for those who have put their lives on the line for our sake. thank you mr patterson for showing me this band, thank you ffdp for being amazing, and thank you to our soldiers for everything you do
I never served, almost did but couldn't because of surgery. But honestly listening to this and thinking of what you Veterans must go through mentally daily... We don't deserve the sacrifices a lot of you made. Thank you for your service. We love you all stay strong.
My step dad went through something like you. But more brutal. I can't remember if he served or not. But I do know when he was climbing a ladder, it Had broken, and he fell. Severely damaging his back and visionary system in his brain. It's healed a good bit. If I remember correctly I think his eyes were almost punctured by glass or something metallic and sharp. His safety glasses saved his eyes that day, I'm sorry if this is jumbled. I can't really remember as I have adhd and I'm a extremely hyper teenager. But I love my dad to bits, I would never want to lose him or my mom. He is honored for atleast going through the marines. Even though he never fought.
As an Iraq war veteran that was LITERALLY (not basically or essentially but LITERALLY) homeless, I love this song and this band. Thank you. People like you that appreciate us and our problems, you are worth going to war for.
I'm sorry about what happened to you and I hope that everything is okay now. But who did the US fight in Iraq for? Iraq wasn't threatening America and wasn't going to threaten it. They weren't sent to Iraq to protect any American citizens.
@michaelehrmann-falkenau7645 1. Congress and the UN dictated that it was necessary to start inspections in Iraq for illegal weapons or weapons of mass destruction, due to Bill Clinton stopping them (for no given reason) and Saddam Hussein using mustard gas mortar rounds (illegal chemical weapons by the Geneva convention which applied to Iraq as they were part of the UN) on civilians to commit genocide on Shia Muslims. Saddam refused to allow inspectors to see certain areas. Bush sent a plane, with US Congressional and UN permission, equipped with special sensors, to fly over some of those key areas to examine it. Saddam had Anti air weapons fire on that plane. The plane returned and Bush declared war with Congressional approval. 2. In Taji and Tikrit, I personally saw, with my own freaking eyes, caches of mustard gas rounds. Those aren't weapons of mass destruction but they ARE illegal weapons to use or possess. He was guilty. 3. I also saw horrible treatment and inhumane treatment to Shia Muslims and far worse to Christians, Jewish, Assyrians and Khurds. Saddam should have been taken out the FIRST time we went there. But we didn't. Saddam was like an amateur Hitler. He should have never been allowed to stay in power. And he didn't spare women, children or elderly. That alone justified the war more than anything you can convince me of. 4. After he was out of power, we stayed to try and rebuild their government so it didn't just stay destroyed or get taken over by others. In my second deployment, I was in Mahmuhdiyah where we personally protected areas, in particular schools and hospitals open to ALL children of ALL faiths and ethnicities, peaceful meetings of Sunni and Shia sheiks in communities and allowed for the first time in Iraq history, men and women to vote for their leaders. These areas were attacked by Sunni extremists that loved Saddams reign of brutal terror and Sunni favoritism. The fight in Afghanistan was in retribution to what happened on 9/11. They literally took credit for it. The Iraq war never ended from the beginning of Desert Storm. There was just a temporary and years long cease fire. I don't care what your political point of view is to Bush or Clinton. What Saddam did was various war crimes. And we made sure he never did them again and never had the chance to do them to any other country. What did you do?
I’m constantly fighting a battle with PTSD each and everyday and this song fits perfectly. Not a vet but suffered from abuse by my father and it constantly bothers me, even to this day. This song makes me feel so many things at once. Great job, 5FDP.
This is why people don't care about the military and what they go through, attitude like this, this is the rudest thing to do. You don't have to be military to understand the song, other people go through messed up stuff too.
Rest well Papa. You’re up there in heaven, god is proud of everything you’ve done. From preaching for over 40 years. Fighting in the Korean War. Serving for our country. Giving birth to one of the best nanas I’ve ever had. Have a good time and please, tell mawmaw i said hi. (1 year later) thank you all for the support, I miss him dearly.
I really love this song but the wrong side of heaven began when the USA and NATO bombing Serbia I'm not Serbian but I like them believe in jesus and not Mohammed. imagine the USA was going to change from the cross to that crescent from inside its borders.this song is not because us did wrong in the middle east they are on the wrong side of heaven cos they bombed Serbia a country that was defeating the cross
My step dad served in iraq and Afghanistan. He was in the air Force as a intelligence officer and a navy seal in the Navy. Im glad to have him in my life .. my blood father was abusive and me and my mom we're lost for a while till he came. Bless this man❤️🇺🇲🦅

LOOOL I have never heard of someone that has considered the Bible as being a "bestseller" Your too funny XD
Maybe read my whole comment again. The bible proves" there is the problem, someone randomly just like J.K.Rowling wrote a famous story at his time and religion took it and used it to control masses.
@@alexmaroni4475 I have simple Said, that i respect the soldiers. I did'nt said that i'm approuved their orders and actions. Oh and War crime is Never just from one side in a War.
Support all our veterans. They almost died for us and our country thanks them for their service then spits them out like chewed tobacco. Our veterans sacrificed either Everything or half of what they had. Both when they left and came back. I feel bad that we don't even do anything to help them. Veterans need love not more stress
War is scary. I wish every good soul comes back safe and sound. With smiles on there face and the worst times forgotten. God i cant even image that....god bless them and there loved ones✊
war is very scary- and everyone should understand that its not a thing to laugh about like "hahahah child saying war is scary" BECAUSE IT *IS* scary. Very, Very scary.
Well if countries would stop sending soldiers to their death over profit then there would be a heck of a lot less of these veterans and probably more peace.
Thank you USA, Kissinger and war criminals Bush & Obama for making this world a living hell for 80% of the human population. I piss on the Great Satan.
My dad's in prison and he introduced me to this band.... At the time I thought it was trash... But now cuz all the shit I've been through I listen to this to cope and keep my dad in mind.
Same here mate. My dad is just not in prison but ended up living on the streets for 4 weeks after my parents god divorced. And i have been bullied since like idk mid second grade. My parents alway argued. They argued every day now in school thats all i can think about.
My father abused me all my life and when I decided to leave I never heard from or seen him ever since. We use to listen to this band together I wish he was here
I’m U.S. Army Military Police and I’ve known this band for a long while, even before I was a soldier or before I was in the corp, and I used to really like this band and now I can actually relate to it. People talk shit bout the military, and they don’t know all we do to preserve and protect our freedom, all the sacrifices so everyone can be free. Keep up the good work FFDP 🔥
After getting PTSD, this song holds a lot more meaning. When I did finally go for help I ended up undergoing the same kind of therapy as soldiers who've seen combat have. I'm called a hero for those five months but it hardly makes me feel better about it. I don't feel like the same person, stress hits so much worse and causes a lot of physical symptoms, and I can't rest anymore. To feel just a little bit of control over anything or safe I sometimes can't tell what's right or wrong. Two years isn't enough to fade it away.
This song makes me cry almost every time. My dad is a veteran and he has done so much. One of his story’s was he had to shoot 2 kids and their dad when he was combat because they had guns and where raised to go to war at a young age and around 10 years old. They had 300lbs of bombs in their car. The kids where pointing their guns at my dad and he had no choice but to shoot the kids. He also has a burn mark on his chest while he was on flames carrying a soldier on his back. Then he has a bullet wound on his leg. He retired from the military about 6 years ago and he still has issues with his body and mentality really bad. He’s trying to convince my 10 year old brother to not join the military because of how bad it messed him up. My brother already has a mental illness and the military is not going to do him any good.
shit that totally happened. the lies people will tell to make a fucking invasion by a fascist police state and the willing participation in military imperialism seem noble.
Veterans, thank you for giving us everything, when not only your tomorrow but your well being isn't promised. Please don't give up, we love you, no matter what God you pray to.
Gave six years for this country. I have regrets but I would not hesitate to go again if my country needed me to. It isn't the government that I served for it's the people and our country's ideals.
My dad and his room mate Cody listen to this song and every time they do they feel for every soldier they fought along side with that lost there lives or nearly did. This is what we listen to for the 4th of July in support of our troops. I'm personally am not religious but I understand the meaning and accept how powerful it is. It's beautiful and a well crafted song and I'm glad it exists.
You dont have to be in the military to understand this song. You just gotta go through some fucked up shit. Keep breathing. Keep going. Youll make it. God bless.

This is dedicated to my father. He fought in Operation Desert Storm in the U.S. Marine Corps and is always helping me and my disabled sister through life and taking care of us every chance he can. Thank you so much father. I couldn't have asked for a better Father ❤🇺🇸
Mein Leben...meine Tränen....mein Vater..den ich verloren habe....meine Seele...die sich nach Liebe sehnt....Liebe...die ich nie wirklich bekommen hatte...!Die Stärke hast du mir in die Wiege gelegt!!!!Danke für alles...K.B.
My mother is a Army vet.... She has had 5 battles with different Cancers..... She has won each one.... I listen to this song on repeat every time she gets diagnosed. She was just diagnosed with her 6th time being diagnosed with cancer.... This time it is bone cancer.... Thank you for this song.... I will be listening to it on repeat again for quite a wile.....
I smoke my medicine to this sometimes. This band helped me through the roughtest times, best of times, still happy even listening to your music. I can pretty much thank this band for my life. After 2 years. I still get my mediatation from yall. Hope to see yall soon.
When I hear this I think of my dad who was in the navy during Vietnam. My mom hates him and he’s a true American but people don’t like him for being patriotic and for serving our country. I love you dad! (Don’t worry he’s still alive)
Hated for being patriotic? (Lights cigar) fuck this world. So many liberals that abandon reason and only use their "feelings" as weapons. At least I'm one of the ones who likes the patriotic people in this country.
@@sukhoisu-24fencer3 You don't need to be on the right to feel empathy for veterans. My beliefs sit almost entirely on the left, and I believe that the Americans harmed most by warmongers are the soldiers, and that anyone who claims to have empathy should extend it to the people left hurt and broken fighting on behalf of those willing to sacrifice them on the altar of politics. The real harm done by society leaving vets behind is abominable, and it's soul-crushing to think that someone could devote themselves to a cause they truly believe in, that they truly believe helps their country, and then be treated like refuse upon their return because it's collateral damage in the war between ideologies.
This song has helped me through some rough time. I am a volunteer firefighter and I have had some hard times and for some reason this song really helps.
I know this is for the military but I believe that so many more people can relate. I've been in a mental hospital and I've felt like this. Being in that place was hell, but I got the help I so needed, I recommend people who are in a similar spot for depression, or with any other disorder, to get help. You're not alone, you deserve all the help you can get
I knew it was going to be good because they have uploaded this before, quite a while ago I might add. This is just the album version upload, go check out the music video it's really really good
can someone explain it to me ? I'm not a native speaker, but I thought he was supposed to say I Spoke WITH A GOD today ? He's clearly singing "I Spoke TO God today" ??? I thought in English it's either SPOKE WITH OR TALKED TO ? I'm confused)))))
The best part of hearing my favorite band ffdp is that in the comment section,I get to read brief messages from our military brothers. Thank you and god bless you ❤
yeah the part where the dude's ex wife rips his kid away from him and the ending where the guy sitting down and the other guy walks by and sees him remembers him and asks what happened. Really gets to you
I wanna be a marine when I graduate. This song makes me think of the brave badass men who served and the brave men who didn’t come back. May they Rest In Peace and their families be in peace also. Semper Fi.
My dad introduced me to this band in 2009. My dad started to do police work after he was done with his 8 years in the marines in 2008, he was shot and killed by a guy that was wanted with multiple felonies. I miss you everyday dad, fly high 😔 1976-2017
As an Iraq vet, this song hits home for me every day and every time I listen to it. Myself and many like me deal with this struggle daily. War, and seeing what it does is no blessing. More of a curse, but the struggle is very often unseen by those who have never experienced it. This song especially resonates with the dark years where I struggled with alcoholism and just wanting everything to end. My condolences to all who have lost family and friends to war, no matter what kind of war it was. Mental, emotional, or the real thing.
My Godfather was an army medic, while he served he lost his brothers in arms in ambush and was the last one alive, he still lives to this day thinking about his brothers that he could saved them. He deserves all the respect and help. May all of the warriors who gave their lives no matter of race or background, May you rest in peace, your sacrifice will never be forgotten by the ones who will always remember you forever.
This song makes me think of a movie quote i once heard. "This is what it looks like when you've actually fought in battle. It's not beautiful. it's not glorious, It's not even heroic. It's merely about doing what is right, and then doing it again again, even if someday you look like this"
for anyone who was serving the military or knew someone and for anyone who has died while in action this song goes out to you. mad respect to all of you
Rest in peace, Grandpa John Rodick, Uncle John Rodick II, Uncle Robert Rodick. My relatives that serves this country is gone but never forgotten. 😥 👮🏻👮🏻🇺🇸👮🏻🇺🇸👮🏻 We Love You.
Its amazing seeing how many people are touched by this song. There are so many heartbreaking stories among these comments. I will always respect the one's that were brave enough to fight for this country.
6 1/2 years in the marine corp this song hits me deep in my heart I miss my squad and it pains me of the daily suffering. I ask myself everyday why did I survive when many of my brothers that had families died especially one that pushed me away to save me from a RPG. R.i.p Chesterfield I'll see you in Valhalla my shield brother
My dad was an army Ranger in Dessert Storm. Very, very decorated. He was a Sergeant First Class, Expert Sniper, Airbourne Ranger. We only learned about what he had to do and that he was so decorated after he passed away. Its been 6 years now and he never talked about anything he was or what he had to do in the army. Everyone but my mom and my family was so proud of his service. I miss you dad, im still so proud of you. He used to cry to this song.
To all the brothers who served I thank you for your sacrifice and freedom you have given up to make my tomorrow a better day for me and I hope with all my heart that you guys get what you deserve you soldiers deserve so much more in my eyes god bless you all and god bless this country
😢i miss you pawpaw.. My Great Grandfather was a Vietnam Vet.. he loved fishing..nobody knew he had cancer till he was almost gone... i miss you Pawpaw.. rest in peace up in heaven, and keep fishing in ponds made of gold❤.. he died on my birthday.. 3 years ago.. i miss you..
Simply an amzing Song. Can be put to speak the truth about so many things (although officially it is a song about Veterans it fits many more things). Thank you.
From what I've researched, it seems like this song is about feeling guilty over the things soldiers had to do in war that felt so wrong, they don't want to be thanked for it, because they were simply doing what they had to, and it was for the greater good, though it still felt wrong to do.
I hope you did it. I write novels too and there's so much you could do with this. From one writer to another, adding reality to fiction makes the emotional ties to reads stronger
You know 4 years later this song reminds me of a quote i built upon Original:" nobody loves the warrior till the enemy is at the gate" edit:" nobody loves the warrior till the enemy is at the gate, but if they defeat the enemy will the warrior be loved or still be ignored?"
I've lost two family members and broken up with a person in the last 3 years. Also battles depression and relapsing. Here I am, still standing alone but stronger than ever. That shit is tough. We all got our struggles, trauma, and we still end up standing alone. Rest in high heavens to my young cousin and my late great grandmother.
To keep this in simple terms, us civilians undermine or underestimate what the hero’s are sacrificing... Many come home with PTSD that they can’t shake and the PTSD forces the shadows and monsters of their past haunt the rest of their lives Many come home with their friends in a box, and many just say, oh casualty of war, NO these men and women have lives, many of the deceased leave children and families behind My main point never disrespect the ones who fight for your freedom Respect the goddamn soldiers that give us the free world we know Thank You to any soldiers, past or present your sacrifices are thanked and honored... 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dad, I love you. I have watched you go through hell. I've watched you tun to alcohol for support. I've watched ma ignore you. I've watched as you spiraled further and further down. I've seen both brothers fail and everyone turn their backs to you. Everyone but me. But ya know what? I'm done. I wanna leave. I wanna end it. End it all. I lost count of how many times I've cried myself to sleep when you and ma fought. I love you, dad. I always will. I thank you for your service. I love you...

My step dad went through something like you. But more brutal. I can't remember if he served or not. But I do know when he was climbing a ladder, it Had broken, and he fell. Severely damaging his back and visionary system in his brain. It's healed a good bit. If I remember correctly I think his eyes were almost punctured by glass or something metallic and sharp. His safety glasses saved his eyes that day, I'm sorry if this is jumbled. I can't really remember as I have adhd and I'm a extremely hyper teenager.

I'm sorry about what happened to you and I hope that everything is okay now. But who did the US fight in Iraq for? Iraq wasn't threatening America and wasn't going to threaten it. They weren't sent to Iraq to protect any American citizens.
@michaelehrmann-falkenau7645 1. Congress and the UN dictated that it was necessary to start inspections in Iraq for illegal weapons or weapons of mass destruction, due to Bill Clinton stopping them (for no given reason) and Saddam Hussein using mustard gas mortar rounds (illegal chemical weapons by the Geneva convention which applied to Iraq as they were part of the UN) on civilians to commit genocide on Shia Muslims. Saddam refused to allow inspectors to see certain areas. Bush sent a plane, with US Congressional and UN permission, equipped with special sensors, to fly over some of those key areas to examine it. Saddam had Anti air weapons fire on that plane. The plane returned and Bush declared war with Congressional approval.
2. In Taji and Tikrit, I personally saw, with my own freaking eyes, caches of mustard gas rounds. Those aren't weapons of mass destruction but they ARE illegal weapons to use or possess. He was guilty.
3. I also saw horrible treatment and inhumane treatment to Shia Muslims and far worse to Christians, Jewish, Assyrians and Khurds. Saddam should have been taken out the FIRST time we went there. But we didn't. Saddam was like an amateur Hitler. He should have never been allowed to stay in power. And he didn't spare women, children or elderly. That alone justified the war more than anything you can convince me of.
4. After he was out of power, we stayed to try and rebuild their government so it didn't just stay destroyed or get taken over by others. In my second deployment, I was in Mahmuhdiyah where we personally protected areas, in particular schools and hospitals open to ALL children of ALL faiths and ethnicities, peaceful meetings of Sunni and Shia sheiks in communities and allowed for the first time in Iraq history, men and women to vote for their leaders. These areas were attacked by Sunni extremists that loved Saddams reign of brutal terror and Sunni favoritism.
The fight in Afghanistan was in retribution to what happened on 9/11. They literally took credit for it. The Iraq war never ended from the beginning of Desert Storm. There was just a temporary and years long cease fire.
I don't care what your political point of view is to Bush or Clinton. What Saddam did was various war crimes. And we made sure he never did them again and never had the chance to do them to any other country.
What did you do?
I’m 75 years old and love their music - so emotional
Nice
I’m constantly fighting a battle with PTSD each and everyday and this song fits perfectly. Not a vet but suffered from abuse by my father and it constantly bothers me, even to this day. This song makes me feel so many things at once. Great job, 5FDP.
This is why people don't care about the military and what they go through, attitude like this, this is the rudest thing to do. You don't have to be military to understand the song, other people go through messed up stuff too.
You're comment just made someone go bye bye, but you don't care cause they aren't military

Rest well Papa. You’re up there in heaven, god is proud of everything you’ve done. From preaching for over 40 years. Fighting in the Korean War. Serving for our country. Giving birth to one of the best nanas I’ve ever had. Have a good time and please, tell mawmaw i said hi. (1 year later) thank you all for the support, I miss him dearly.
god will not be proud of a murderer GALATIANS 6:7, american idiots who serve the military, serve the god of this world ONLY.
imagine thinking that service in the korean war is anything to be proud about.
Your dad probably knew my grandfather because he fought in that war too
Your dad was a fucking warrior brother
Doctor: You have 4 minutes to live.
Me: Play Wrong Side of Heaven!
Doctor: But it's 4:31.
God: It's ok.
I really love this song
but the wrong side of heaven
began when the USA and NATO
bombing Serbia
I'm not Serbian but I like them believe in jesus and not Mohammed. imagine the USA was going to change from the cross to that crescent from inside its borders.this song is not because us did wrong in the middle east
they are on the wrong side of heaven cos they bombed Serbia a country that was defeating the cross
Well said
This is beautiful 😍
Looks like the dude got an extra 31 seconds to listen and I’m happy

This is your true father then, you are one lucky person to be in your position always remember that.
Cool my great grandpa was in WW2 my uncle is part of dessert storm
And wtf are you doing with your life right now?
That chorus hits so damn hard every time and never fails to give me chills
"Arms wide open, I stand alone."
This also hit deep.
When you want the person you love give you a hug but refuses

Creed
I spoke to God today and she said that she's ashamed
What have I become.
What have I done
I spoke to the devil today and he swears he's not to blame
And I understood 'cause I feel the same
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of heaven and the righteous side,
The righteous side of hell
I heard from God today and she sounded just like me
What have I done and who have I become
I saw the devil today and he looked a lot like me
I looked away, I turned away
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero and I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell
The wrong side of heaven and the righteous side,
The righteous side of hell
I'm not defending
Downward descending
Falling further and further away
Getting closer every day
I'm getting closer every day
To the end, to the end, the end of the end
I'm getting closer every day
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell
I'm on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell

Support all our veterans. They almost died for us and our country thanks them for their service then spits them out like chewed tobacco. Our veterans sacrificed either Everything or half of what they had. Both when they left and came back. I feel bad that we don't even do anything to help them.
Veterans need love not more stress
@Ravneblod Dude ur a racist
@Ravneblod You really seem to like the "nordiska motståndsrörelsen"
@Ravneblod Lol Jew lackey. You must really hate me then Im an active duty MP whos Jewish so i must be the bottom to you
Agreed
@Ravneblod are u dude get a life and quit hating people that make people safe
3:05 that hint of a woman’s voice in falling really makes it amazing
"Right or wrong? I can hardly tell!" pure emotion.
War is scary. I wish every good soul comes back safe and sound. With smiles on there face and the worst times forgotten. God i cant even image that....god bless them and there loved ones✊
war is very scary- and everyone should understand that its not a thing to laugh about like "hahahah child saying war is scary" BECAUSE IT *IS* scary. Very, Very scary.
War is not scary
*WAR IS HELL*
Well if countries would stop sending soldiers to their death over profit then there would be a heck of a lot less of these veterans and probably more peace.
Thank you USA, Kissinger and war criminals Bush & Obama for making this world a living hell for 80% of the human population. I piss on the Great Satan.
My dad's in prison and he introduced me to this band.... At the time I thought it was trash... But now cuz all the shit I've been through I listen to this to cope and keep my dad in mind.
My dad left my family (like walked out) and showed me the weeknd - the hills
Nathan Drake I cried reading this bless u and ur family we are here for u
I've replayed this song 7 times in a row now for that exact reason. I feel your pain man
Same here mate. My dad is just not in prison but ended up living on the streets for 4 weeks after my parents god divorced. And i have been bullied since like idk mid second grade. My parents alway argued. They argued every day now in school thats all i can think about.
My father abused me all my life and when I decided to leave I never heard from or seen him ever since. We use to listen to this band together I wish he was here
This was the first FFDP song I heard
And it brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
my first song was bad company
Same here man
Bradley Robertson same here, but I’ve listened to them for months now
More when I read comments
My first song was also Wrong Side of Heaven
I’m U.S. Army Military Police and I’ve known this band for a long while, even before I was a soldier or before I was in the corp, and I used to really like this band and now I can actually relate to it.
People talk shit bout the military, and they don’t know all we do to preserve and protect our freedom, all the sacrifices so everyone can be free.
Keep up the good work FFDP 🔥
I'm not in the Military, nor have I ever been, but this song always makes me cry. All of their songs, especially this one, is timeless.
After getting PTSD, this song holds a lot more meaning. When I did finally go for help I ended up undergoing the same kind of therapy as soldiers who've seen combat have. I'm called a hero for those five months but it hardly makes me feel better about it. I don't feel like the same person, stress hits so much worse and causes a lot of physical symptoms, and I can't rest anymore. To feel just a little bit of control over anything or safe I sometimes can't tell what's right or wrong. Two years isn't enough to fade it away.
This song makes me cry almost every time. My dad is a veteran and he has done so much. One of his story’s was he had to shoot 2 kids and their dad when he was combat because they had guns and where raised to go to war at a young age and around 10 years old. They had 300lbs of bombs in their car. The kids where pointing their guns at my dad and he had no choice but to shoot the kids. He also has a burn mark on his chest while he was on flames carrying a soldier on his back. Then he has a bullet wound on his leg. He retired from the military about 6 years ago and he still has issues with his body and mentality really bad. He’s trying to convince my 10 year old brother to not join the military because of how bad it messed him up. My brother already has a mental illness and the military is not going to do him any good.
God bless!
shit that totally happened.
the lies people will tell to make a fucking invasion by a fascist police state and the willing participation in military imperialism seem noble.
I don't think the military is gonna let him in with a known history of mental illness and I hope your dad is doing ok today.
Veterans, thank you for giving us everything, when not only your tomorrow but your well being isn't promised. Please don't give up, we love you, no matter what God you pray to.
Gave six years for this country. I have regrets but I would not hesitate to go again if my country needed me to. It isn't the government that I served for it's the people and our country's ideals.
Listened to this during critical illness and recovered quickly 🎉
I want to take this time to thank all of those, living and deceased who served our country. Thank you for fighting for our freedom.
Love the calm parts in this song, the guitar rhythm is so perfect in it
I am 53 years old. I am a new fan to their music its great and speaks to me.
My dad and his room mate Cody listen to this song and every time they do they feel for every soldier they fought along side with that lost there lives or nearly did. This is what we listen to for the 4th of July in support of our troops.
I'm personally am not religious but I understand the meaning and accept how powerful it is. It's beautiful and a well crafted song and I'm glad it exists.
You dont have to be in the military to understand this song.
You just gotta go through some fucked up shit.
Keep breathing. Keep going.
Youll make it.
God bless.
Thanks man
Thank you buck i needed this
Thanks bud, living it every day it seems like, and it comes from every direction, ya know? Anyway, thanks man.
Fucking hell this is true
I want to join the military, IAF.. this songs helps me gives me power...
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I spoke to God today
And she said that she's ashamed
What have I become?
What have I done?
I spoke to the devil today
And he swears he's not to blame
And I understood
'Cause I feel the same
[Chorus]
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side of Hell
The wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side... the righteous side of Hell
[Verse 2]
I heard from God today
And she sounded just like me
What have I done
And who have I become
I saw the devil today
And he looked a lot like me
I looked away
I turned away
[Chorus]
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side of Hell
The wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side... the righteous side of Hell
[Solo]
[Bridge]
I'm not defending
Downward descending
Falling further and further away
Getting closer every day
I'm getting closer every day
To the end
To the end, the end, the end
I'm getting... closer every day
[Chorus]
Arms wide open
I stand alone
I'm no hero
And I'm not made of stone
Right or wrong
I can hardly tell
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side of Hell
The wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side of Hell
[Outro]
The wrong side of Heaven
And the righteous side... the righteous side of Hell

When I hear this I think of my dad who was in the navy during Vietnam. My mom hates him and he’s a true American but people don’t like him for being patriotic and for serving our country. I love you dad! (Don’t worry he’s still alive)
That's messed up. Most people in today's society don't understand what they're truly doing for them and the awful thinhs they have to go through.
Sadistic Idiot my dad’s dad was in Vietnam and my dad’s grandfather was in WWII, so your not the only one
Hated for being patriotic? (Lights cigar) fuck this world. So many liberals that abandon reason and only use their "feelings" as weapons. At least I'm one of the ones who likes the patriotic people in this country.
@@sukhoisu-24fencer3 You don't need to be on the right to feel empathy for veterans. My beliefs sit almost entirely on the left, and I believe that the Americans harmed most by warmongers are the soldiers, and that anyone who claims to have empathy should extend it to the people left hurt and broken fighting on behalf of those willing to sacrifice them on the altar of politics. The real harm done by society leaving vets behind is abominable, and it's soul-crushing to think that someone could devote themselves to a cause they truly believe in, that they truly believe helps their country, and then be treated like refuse upon their return because it's collateral damage in the war between ideologies.
I can't help but notice that your profile pic is a drawn Freddie Mercury(or tattooed,i can't really tell).
This song has helped me through some rough time. I am a volunteer firefighter and I have had some hard times and for some reason this song really helps.
I know this is for the military but I believe that so many more people can relate. I've been in a mental hospital and I've felt like this. Being in that place was hell, but I got the help I so needed, I recommend people who are in a similar spot for depression, or with any other disorder, to get help. You're not alone, you deserve all the help you can get

As an Iraq vet, this song hits home for me every day and every time I listen to it. Myself and many like me deal with this struggle daily. War, and seeing what it does is no blessing. More of a curse, but the struggle is very often unseen by those who have never experienced it. This song especially resonates with the dark years where I struggled with alcoholism and just wanting everything to end. My condolences to all who have lost family and friends to war, no matter what kind of war it was. Mental, emotional, or the real thing.
Thank you for your service I’m sorry your country could not provide better ❤
Na. Az ilyen magyar énekeseket tudom a legjobban elismerni. Nem semmi amit a Zoli elért ❤
I never served but I was treated for PTSD from a traumatic childhood. This song feels the closest to my experience than any other song
My Godfather was an army medic, while he served he lost his brothers in arms in ambush and was the last one alive, he still lives to this day thinking about his brothers that he could saved them. He deserves all the respect and help. May all of the warriors who gave their lives no matter of race or background, May you rest in peace, your sacrifice will never be forgotten by the ones who will always remember you forever.
Bunch of sanctimonious bullshit. I was in the Army. You don't know me.
Fuck off.
I finally looked up what the phrase "Wrong Side of Heaven" means, and now that I have, it brings out so much more meaning in this song.
*nostalgia kicks in* Oh boy, how long has it been ?
This song makes me think of a movie quote i once heard.
"This is what it looks like when you've actually fought in battle. It's not beautiful. it's not glorious, It's not even heroic. It's merely about doing what is right, and then doing it again again, even if someday you look like this"
for anyone who was serving the military or knew someone and for anyone who has died while in action this song goes out to you. mad respect to all of you
I’m 13 and I LOVE this band! Father got me into it

6 1/2 years in the marine corp this song hits me deep in my heart I miss my squad and it pains me of the daily suffering. I ask myself everyday why did I survive when many of my brothers that had families died especially one that pushed me away to save me from a RPG. R.i.p Chesterfield I'll see you in Valhalla my shield brother
I'm not crying, my eyes are sweating.
My dad was an army Ranger in Dessert Storm. Very, very decorated. He was a Sergeant First Class, Expert Sniper, Airbourne Ranger. We only learned about what he had to do and that he was so decorated after he passed away. Its been 6 years now and he never talked about anything he was or what he had to do in the army. Everyone but my mom and my family was so proud of his service. I miss you dad, im still so proud of you. He used to cry to this song.
The song shows the feeling to fight what’s right or wrong, even through the darkest times we need to take justice in our own hands.
MAARAATHOOONNN , i loved this music, this album, omg
A true soldier fights not because of what he hates in front of him but because of what he loves that’s behind him 💯
To all the brothers who served I thank you for your sacrifice and freedom you have given up to make my tomorrow a better day for me and I hope with all my heart that you guys get what you deserve you soldiers deserve so much more in my eyes god bless you all and god bless this country

Thank you.
This Will be playin in my head in my last moments and when I'm gettin put away,I luv it 🤟.
Respect for the fallen men fighting wars for the wrong causes.
From what I've researched, it seems like this song is about feeling guilty over the things soldiers had to do in war that felt so wrong, they don't want to be thanked for it, because they were simply doing what they had to, and it was for the greater good, though it still felt wrong to do.
This is metal that people need every day. Even if they go to church.
dear stranger,
i love your music taste, have a nice day 🤍
You see, this song is like a magnet for people who have gone through shit.
Despite that, the song is awesome.
This song inspired me to add an ex-army character to my book. Gonna tell it like it really is through him.
I hope you did it. I write novels too and there's so much you could do with this. From one writer to another, adding reality to fiction makes the emotional ties to reads stronger
I hope you did it brother !!!!!
I wrote novels too, brothers. I hope you will succeed. I truly do. Let's achieve our dreams and help those who are in need.
If it ever gets published tell me. It sounds like an interesting read
@@brandonreid7670 I know. You may be right. My off-battle experience will never compare to the on-battle experience, if I have one some day.
You know 4 years later this song reminds me of a quote i built upon
Original:" nobody loves the warrior till the enemy is at the gate"
edit:" nobody loves the warrior till the enemy is at the gate, but if they defeat the enemy will the warrior be loved or still be ignored?"
When you listen to rap music but this song is a masterpiece rock on🤟🤟
I've lost two family members and broken up with a person in the last 3 years. Also battles depression and relapsing. Here I am, still standing alone but stronger than ever.
That shit is tough. We all got our struggles, trauma, and we still end up standing alone. Rest in high heavens to my young cousin and my late great grandmother.
To keep this in simple terms, us civilians undermine or underestimate what the hero’s are sacrificing...
Many come home with PTSD that they can’t shake and the PTSD forces the shadows and monsters of their past haunt the rest of their lives
Many come home with their friends in a box, and many just say, oh casualty of war, NO these men and women have lives, many of the deceased leave children and families behind
My main point never disrespect the ones who fight for your freedom
Respect the goddamn soldiers that give us the free world we know
Thank You to any soldiers, past or present your sacrifices are thanked and honored... 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻
I find disrespecting a solider one of the worst things you can do tbh
This song makes me somewhat happy due to my depression
Dad, I love you. I have watched you go through hell. I've watched you tun to alcohol for support. I've watched ma ignore you. I've watched as you spiraled further and further down. I've seen both brothers fail and everyone turn their backs to you. Everyone but me. But ya know what? I'm done. I wanna leave. I wanna end it. End it all.
