This is a REMINDER to THOSE who are struggling and The Band is letting PEOPLE KNOW they ARE NOT ALONE 🕊️
This is why shinedown will forever hold a place in my heart
Brent, thank you. I just started turning my life around a year ago. Took me 2 different rehab trips. But 10 months later. Stronger than ever.
Keep it brother 👊
Hongh yeah!!!
Keep pushing brother you're going to help many people God bless you keep
keep going forward! god bless
I don't say anything about it, but I've been sober for over two years, this time. And I listen to Smith & Myers and Shinedown almost every single day. They help!
Monsters.. the song that gives me the STRENGTH to stand Up to my depression, PTSD, and anxiety from a past of abuse. I AM A SURVIVVOR OF MONSTERS. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT SONG THAT EMPOWERS ME AND HELPS ME RELEASE THAT ANGER AND REMEMBER WHO THE HELL I AM. BLESS YOU ALL. ❤
Amen. Wish the best for you. PTSD isn't fair on any weight. I'll pray for you and ask you do the same
@@kristifortney2831 you got it! We gotta lift one another up. 👍❤️
I have the same monsters years of drugs and men after my abuse. I still have one crutch weed and I’m working on that. 17 years clean from other stuff. Stay strong
Smith & Myers ..... if you have never listened to these guys perform - not just in the music that they play but the message that they share, you have never really listened and felt the soul that really goes into their songs. Not just this song (although this is one of their best heart felt songs) you have missed the opportunity of some real heal. Honestly ... I knew that this band (way back when) was one of the best I've ever heard - told all my friends (gosh, did I just miss my chance at a promoter job - LOL - I'm talking WAY back). In all honesty - these guys are the BEST. They are STILL the best. There is no other band that continues to amaze me. That (in it's self) is quite an accomplishment. To watch you grow has been an honor. Thank you.
Shinedown got me through the darkest part of my life. An amazing band that has such pure and real music!
He is so gifted. I saw them live last night. His lyrics are meaningful. It was the best concert you could imagine.
I wish we could see Shinedown doing some colabs with Alter Bridge. Would love to see Myles and Brent singing together
Very insightful, I'm 10 years sober and take it one day at a time, Thank you for being real. ❤
I live in chronic pain and all I can say is on really bad days I plug in my ear buds turn on my favorite band and get lost in my music..thank you!
My wife and I were at this very show. During this monolog, I promise, there were hardly any dry eyes. Even if a person isn't struggling themselves, they know someone who is. Thank you Brent, Zack and all associated with Shinedown and Smith & Myers! Let's all have that awkward discussion with somebody! Want to make a difference in this world? Have that discussion!!!
Yeah, who caress. Shut up.
Respect for sharing! I have a monster I deal with and it is nice to know I’m not alone!
@@chrisaskme811 you need to just STOP! I’m so glad ur life is so perfect u can’t relate
Ok preach Jon bc Brent does these talks that just floor u and same experience. Knoxville (hometown) rescheduled same tour and same experience for daylight though us old heads list it for this and many other songs.
Effin awesome!
I first heard this song 6 months ago, at rock bottom. It got way worse, but it made things change. Thanks to all the strong people out there. Not alone.
I battle my monsters/demons everyday...it won't ever stop, just trying to make one day at a time 💜
I wake up in a good mood everyday!! It's a new day, new start. Wish I'd figured that out in my 20s and 30s.. But I figured out a long time ago about lockimg all the bad things up in an impenetrable box tucked away in my memories vault., never to open. Ive learned to forgive myself and others, never forget or I learned nothing..Took almost 20 years...
BUT I GOT THIS NOW!!
I wish they would release a live album of Smith & Meyers. I have the album and the downloads but I don’t think I will ever get to see them live. The live versions of these songs would be amazing to set back close your eyes and open your mind.
This goes right to my heart as I just lost my other half 5 myths ago and he so loved this song as his monsters were real and the monsters took him away way too soon
.r.i.p. Clint grey...
I'm sober as well and have the same struggles as Brent. One of the many reasons I relate to his music and this album. This album is about recognizing the struggle and recovering from it and becoming the person you were meant to be!
How are these guys not on the radio??!!!!????? I just found them and heard them for the first time!!!! They are AMAZING!!!!!
We r going on 4 and a half years sober from meth.....we went to your concert in Lincoln in 2018 I believe best by far concert I have ever been to u were just as open n vulnerable in this video as u were about the boy who lost his life to cancer n u gave him n his family a shout out n u sang get up for them I bawled I still have that video is something I look at when I have horrible days u always pull me thru
I'm so happy for Shinedown and Brent. I have been clean from hard drug's for 5 years and 8 months now. When ever I feel like going back to my old ways I listen to them and I realize what I have now and I never want to go back to that life. Much love ❤️🤘🖤
Brent apears to be a REAL HUMAN and a GTREAT talent. I sure hope he keeps fighting and we dont loose him like we have so many other great voices in my life time. Saw Shinedown in 2021 and became an even bigger fan after seeing then live.
My brother suffers from addiction and mental health issues. I bought him a Monsters t-shirt. A year later, I haven’t seen him not wearing it. Bought him a new one at the show in Baton Rouge. Obviously the song has special meaning for him.
This song is so real. People used varied substances as a way to hide and cover up emotions that are too much to feel. We used because it puts a short mask on the 'too much'. I work through my work to try to offer any and every support that I can to help US all feel better.
Your songs are so TRUE in meaning. Thank You
Deb. LMHC
I will say one thing he is what has inspired me and keeps me going even when I fall back or relapse. The whole idea of our pain is our gift is what I am trying to live day by day for.
i find it amazing how brent and zach can change their songs to adapt acoustic and they are still incredible
Very strong to admit, but so awesome. I've been sober for a year this month. Feels so great..Be Strong Stay Strong!!! Love 💘 this song 🎵
Everything that he just said is so true. I know. This is how i have felt for a long time.
It takes monsters to destroy us but all it takes is for us to see our reflection in the mirror , and we can put thos monsters behind us .... thanks for being a platform user to share your stories cause our monsters are real and are truly trained to kill ...
Love all of your music! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world! Your music has helped me get through some hard times, and I will never forget the concert in Iraq when you guys came and thrashed TQ!
His story mirrors mine. This version of the song hit me deep tonight! Thanks Brent and Shinedown. Stay strong if your struggling, one day, one hour, one minute at time, you can do anything for a minute!
I had the privilege to see Shinedown in April. Portland Me. They were amazing and awesome and gave it their all!!! Every one of the band members! They are full of heart and soul!!!
How could would it be if the world would listen to people struggling and not judge one another. The kind of people who could make a difference and use their fame to be the voice of so many unheard. My sweet B you are the voice of so many unheard. Keep advocating…..you may not save them all but if just one is touched by the messages you resonate into the universe. Then all will never be lost. I Love Shinedown and I Love You. I Have Loved watching the evolving of much beauty from the ashes that rise and I look forward to the future. With Love, Jessica
I'm so proud and inspired by you.. Seen Shinedown in Johnson City, TN and I've loved em since.. You got this Brent..
So sad I didn't get to catch that show at freedom hall.
Big respect for you Brett! My daughter battled addiction and beat it. She is 4 years clean now. Your music has helped me deal with her addiction.
Oh my… I’m in tears right now. Full faced tears, running down my shirt. Thank you for this. Thank you.
This song literally changed my life. I was struggling big time with monsters- from childhood abuse- and just being able to say "my monsters are real" and accepting that... that changed my life... understanding and facing that... THAT is a powerful moment when you can realize that, and get to that point...
The 12 step program saved my life. January 12 2017 was the last time I took a drink and abused pills. Live listening to Brent talk about his journey. Makes me feel hopeful for everyone out there struggling during the fight. Stay on top and don't let anything drag you down
You still good?
Always good. Keeping my head clear and looking forward always! Thanks!!
Man I gotta say I’ve seen you guys 4 times and I’m a veteran and I love you guys! I remember when they hung your banner upside down in tupelo ms years ago but this hits home I do appreciate it
Brent, you are such an inspiration to us all! Your speech is going to help anyone struggling with addiction and also mental illness. Thank you for discussing your struggles so we know we’re not alone
I know how hard that is to stand in front of everyone and say I have a problem. I died once and almost died again. Heroin almost ended me. I haven't used in so long. #survivor #Undefeated believe that. My life is so much better. Mad respect.
Hey guys I want to thank you for helping to save my life and countless others you are truly heroes and you will be forever in my heart true men of the people and bring this issue to the light and putting it out there so they have to listen you truly are saving people and you have a beautiful light that surrounds you and I believe if I would not have been st the concert in okc at zoo smp in September 2021 i would probably not be here to write this so i would like to say thank you for being a guiding light for lost souls brother
When yall came out with this song it really hit me Hard as cement, See I am a survivor of Sevier abuse, I chose to survive, and for me my monster is myself
Awesome & Amazing version of song.. and I cry every single time I listen to it. Good cleaning the soul tears! ☮️💜
25 years clean from alcohol and drugs. People use because they don’t know how to function in society with the trauma they’ve endeared through life. For those who are suffering don’t EVER give up! 🙏🏼✌🏼🤘🏼
Chills everytime I listen. Heroin is my monster 18 yrs now clean
I instantly fell hard for Shinedown!!! I hope he continues to take good care of his fuckin' A awesome voice!! I'll never get tied of hearing all that passion his voice oozes😊keep on... keeping on...
From 1 addict/alcoholic to another;You are an inspiration to me & a whole lot of others in the world. Thank you for sharing your story, love this song, i can relate most definitely..drugs do kill. Nearly everyday someone overdoses on fentinal, sometimes they get narcan in time, alot dont have it. Its not my drug of choice, Thank God. The 1st week i quit everything;i prayed everyday,several times a day & i suffered no withdrawal symptoms at all! No joke. That gave me hope. Love all your music , think you are all amazing.Brent i could listen to your voice all day! Love the fact that you don't try to hide it, very brave of you to tell the world. You are right, its what makes us who we are & to learn from our mistakes!:❤😊
I'm speechless. Thank you for bearing your soul and blessing us with this song. ❤❤
I needed this. Ive lost too many loved ones to their monsters and struggle with mine on a daily basis.
That is what make this song a REALLY GREAT SONG !
FACTS BROTHER! Love this song love yall. So freaken proud of you brother! 4yrs Clean and Happily in Recovery with others fighting to keep their demons caged like us. Thanks for putting it into words the way I never could!
People that have never struggled with addiction have no idea about those those demons. I still struggle at 57 at times I just want to close my eyes and never wake up.
Saw them Wednesday for the first time. Hands down BEST CONCERT EVER ❤❤❤
You are never alone when you are struggling with things in your life no matter the situation. You have to let people in to help with the demons and monsters as hard as it is.
It's his brother and the band dragging him out of the gutter and thank god they do. seen the band only 1 time live and it was amazing. life is not so bad it sucks for all of us but we chug along. this to will heal and we all will be better off in the future.
Freaking phenomenal. I love them so much. 💕
So proud of you!! Once we admit it outlook that our monsters are real, things are so much better. God bless you 🙏
What I know about you is you have a power to change lives so we are here to talk about it for you and the love we carry for you guys it will always be open arms from us your music had change my darkest days in my life I will and can admit that because I'm strong and my monsters are real
I'll follow you down to the eye of the storm!!!
Thank you Brent. Yes I have to respect the monster in my head since she wants to kill me. My monsters are real. I am a domestic violence abuse survivor. Sharing my story helps others just like your story. Love this song!
Lisa I also am a survivor of domestic violence abuse of 34 yrs. and have monsters in my head too...I don't talk about it that much because it kills me Everytime I think of it...this song hits home...God Bless 🙏💯🙏
@@lillianmartinez8800 talking about it doesn't help me either Somehow this song makes me feel better. Despite those harder days mentally, I am thankful for my life. Happy you are here.
@@lisataylor4369 I'm also happy you are here and I wish you all the happiness in the world.. God Bless 🙏 and keep you safe...
This touches my soul and has really helped me to try to heal from the past. God bless you and keep on rocking
This song and band have always meant so much to me in my life. It's like they've evolved around the same time I did during periods of my life. Like they wrote each album for exactly what I was going through at that time.
Lived it , understand it.
Overcoming monsters is the ultimate living 🥰
Miracles accure every day
Really beautiful version. Got so much respect for this guy, just a genuine person.
Love this song.. love Brent's intro. Inspiring ❤
Oh yeah i definitely can relate..
Greatly enjoyed
Beautiful, transcendent song. I love it. Your monsters are not your friends. Don't get Stockholm Syndrome. You don't have to live with your monsters. You just have to muster the courage to fight them! Get them out of your life. Good luck, y'all. I'm pulling for you. ❤
Wish me luck with mine too please...
thats powerful I didnt know that was the message i related to this song so much for another reason. i related to this song for my PTSD. but if you are struggling with drug use alcoholism or mental issues there are people that want to help you please be strong and dont give up.
It is about your own monster whatever it is. I Have CPTSD from extreme childhood trauma. Stay strong Prayers
I so love this man and his heart❤
Thank you for sharing
Brent thank you for support people who are going through difficult times and take the time to check into somewhere gets some help
Thank you Brent
Thank you for this song. Ive always known itt was about addiction and the monsters that go with. I struggle every day with the monsters and damn thay are for real
So proud of you! ♥️🔥 you are an inspiration.
Makes me love them even more. I know my monsters are real. They’re kicking my ass today. But I’ll make it.
Ditto for me ,man. Never give up!
I needed to hear this today. So proud of Brent and he inspires me to do better.
What I love about @Brent Smith.. ❤❤❤❤
What a song! My life in words!
Inspiring. ❤️this
He is the song bird of my generation. When he sings the goosebumps go up my spine, plus I can relate to the struggle
Who’s here in 2023 best singer ever ❤
Confront those monsters...if you're afraid... face them...stand up to them...tell them you are not afraid and you are in control.
Been recovering drug addict since 2006. Will never touch the crap again. I had to quit to save my life. I was a bad addict.
I respect you Brent and we all have different monsters and we must stand strong against our monster but at times he still escapes and gets back in our heads. You rock Brent!!!
Love U Shinedown...
Stand Strong Brother - You've Got This . . .
What a great way to explain addiction !!!
