    Lost the love of my life after almost 40 years together. Two hippies who fell in love together since ages 15 and 16. Grew up while raising children best guy ever gone ten years and still in love with him. Always will be. Watching him fade and die was horrible . Can’t really put it into words that fit. Miss him every day. Felt like half of me left for heaven. Funniest, sweetest man I’ve ever known. It was a joy to love him. Still can’t figure out why two people who can’t stand each other get to live into their 90’s hating each other but we really dug each other and he got taken out at age 57. Still hurts. Thanks for the song and your reaction.

      Speaking from experience as someone who thrives on anger the reason people who hate or get angry live so long is because happiness is the ultimate goal. There's a reason people say " I could die happy" being happy is what everyone wants. So when you're driven by anger you're not giving up on fighting the world which pushes us forward and keeps us going.

      And when they started the latest tour (I am from isreal) they didn't planed on going to my home country so I was planing on going to other country to see them. But I am a 16 years old teenaager with no money so that was not happening. And one they I woke up and the first thing I saw was the new concerte of the offspring, this time in Isreal. Needles to say I had a ticket less then 4 hours later and I was one of the first in line.
      It was the best time of my life and listening them doing my all time song was a dream comes tryr.😊

    The Offspring were one of the first bands I got into that were “weird”. I was bullied horrendously in school because I was a “weirdo,” “moshed,” “freak,” “greb.” Etc etc. When to Columbine school shooting happened being alternative was seen as “wrong,” “dangerous,” “shameful.” I’m from the UK but even over here I felt that. The teachers seemed to think it was okay that I was a target because I didn’t fit into their norm. ‘Smash’ and ‘Ixnay on the Hombre’ were incredible albums for the outsider. They affirmed that being different was okay. The Offspring got me through some tough times and I’m forever grateful.🤘🏻❤️

So, I was able to avoid the new era of mass shootings of children in schools. But now I have children of my own, so it pains me and touches me in a way I never had to think about before having kids.

      @@TheJamator I used to wear a black trench coat to school. I remember a few days after the shooting my new head of year came into class and asked my form tutor “do we need to be worried about her?” He talked about me like I wasn’t even there and couldn’t hear him. It was horrendous. All the other kids thought it was hilarious. Another stick to beat me with. Even the teachers thought I was dangerous just because I was different. Looking back I should probably be grateful. I developed a thick skin. A high school experience like that taught me inner strength.

    I had a friend of mine who I cared very much for die years ago. About a year later I discovered this song in my phone's MP3 files and I never downloaded it and had no idea where it came from. I had heard of The Offspring but never listened to any of their songs.
    So I decided to listen to it instead of just deleting it. Upon listening to it I had this feeling wash over me that it was somehow from her. Like it was a message to me because I could almost feel her there with me. I still feel her presence from time to time. Especially when I'm in emotional pain.
    The song used to bring me pain because of losing her but now it's one I enjoy because it's a way to bring me closer to her and that brings me comfort.

    This was one of those songs that I was listening to a TON after my brother died a few years ago. When he and his wife passed away suddenly, we had to pick up the pieces, and eventually sort through their things. My sister and I found this song on one of his playlists, and I still jam out to it all the time. It’s hard sometimes, because it makes me a little emotional because, but I think it honors his memory, and it reminds me of his laugh and smile.
    They say everyone dies twice. Once when your life ends, and again when someone thinks about you for the last time. So, this song certainly keeps him alive.

    By “Queen”
    At the time of the recording Freddie Mercury was deathly ill with AIDS.
    Bryan May wrote the song and asked him if he should lower the key
    Freddie Mercury responded with “F*ck it darling I’ll do it”
    Then he took a shot of vodka and did the vocals in one take

    I've loved this song since it came out when I was in high school and always loved how the emotion comes through in the whole performance. The song became more personal over the years after the loss of grandparents and older friends of the family. I lost a lifelong friend 5 years ago and listening to the song became very cathartic. But when I lost my brother to freak accident at work last year I couldn't even get through the song without feeling absolutely devastated. This is the first time I've listened to it in a long while and still can't hold back the tears. He and I would bring new music to each other all the time so it was like we were each other's reaction channels. It sucks to have lost that but you are among the few channels that are able to help fill that void.

    If I hadn't been listening to the offspring since I was like 5 because of my dad this song would hit way harder. My mom had a really bad stroke and was officially dead for a few minutes. When she came back she had forgotten everything and everyone while we were not close it still hurt to know that she had no idea who I was. I cant reach out to her now because she knows she has a son but she doesn't know that her 9-year-old boy she somewhat knew is now 23. The song that made a strong resonance with me was alter bridge's wonderful life, because when I was 16 I lost a friend so close to me that I loved and I was with her when she died. So for anyone going through some shit I hope music can help you heal and keep you going stay strong and happy holidays.
