Anyone else here immediately after getting to this part of her book?
YESSS I just got yo this part right now
me too😢
yessss
I’m there now 👍🏼 so sad
Meeee. It’s really sad 😢
This song feels different knowing that Jenette wasn't really following her dream, but obeying her mom so the bills would be paid. I can't imagine what singing this was like for her
Sad, isn't it?
my fucking HEART
Same thought. I'm here because of her story. Wow!!! What she endured. Yet, she's so talented. She didn't really need the mother she was dealt.
@@lcjones3907 I think deep down she still really loves her mama, she just wishes that her mother listened to her and now she has a book called "I'm glad my mom's dead" instead. I hope her and her mother reconciled before she died because that title is really sad to repeat.
@@PowerRangersFanAntiDinoFury You should definitely give it a read or listen to it. What her mother put her through is truly disgusting and should definitely not be reconciled with or forgiven.
She has such a beautiful voice. It’s sad she was forced to do all of this.
I think she didn't mind singing but I know she didn't want to act it's sad we thought when they came out "oh her and her mom have such a good relationship" now we know her mom was an abusive self centered narcissist and that's putting it nicely
It's sad, I used to think that she must be having a lot of fun time playing Sam because it really looks like she does. Then I realized that she was forced to do that
This was her breaking free. Favorite part of mine "OPEN MIC NIGHT" and her face says, "why not?"
Everything she says in her book about what she went through. It makes total sense because you know her mom forced her to do acting, but I don’t think she minds doing the singing career part, because she does have a really good singing voice, even though she retired from acting and being in the entertainment industry, it’s great to see that she knows that we still like listening to her country music and watching her on Nickelodeon shows.
This feels so dark to watch as her book "Im Glad My Mom Died" came out today. Talking to her mom in the song. It's so sad to know how bad everything was for her during this time.
Exactly!! It feels much sadder after knowing she was never far way since her mom controlled her every move
yes, in her two songs she talks about her mom, it seems like her mother told her to do it
@@Hunchbackswift you should read her book. Jennette went through so much she never should have
@@Hunchbackswift Exactly. Yes.
So true!
The creepiest part is that I’d watch that 10+ years ago and think “wow, I’m so jealous of hers and her mom’s relationship.” When in reality, we were in fact living parallel lives.
I know right! It made me think of that book by Britney Spears (ghostwritten but still) about her love for her mother... Creepy isn't it.
Faith Hill’s you can’t lose me broke my heart the first time I listened to it. My relationship with my mom was NOTHING like how that song paints how a mother daughter relationship should be.

Toooooo true!! Idk how Miranda is recognized and she’s not! Her voice is awesome. I don’t listen to country music but her voice is sooo amazing
Hi
I love Jennette McCurdy
As a survivor of family scapegoat abuse, hearing this song after the reading the book is chilling. All my support and empathy to Jennette
Holy crap I've never heard this tern before. Not sure if it's mentioned in the book, I'm halfway through. But this is exactly what I went through. Horrible. Thanks for sharing
At age 21 I attempted unaliving myself and used the remaining little of my moms juice to wash down the Tylenol I took. My mom took me to hospital cause I was dry heaving and keeping her awake. On the way to hospital she kept reminding me I owed her $3 for the juice I didn't ask to drink.😮

Excerpt from I'm Glad My Mom Died.
"Not That Far Away,” a song written from “my” point of view (by a couple of songwriters I sat next to for a few hours) to my mother, about being on the road without her and how much I miss her, even though in reality I’ve never spent more than a few hours away from her in all my eighteen years
I don’t know much about music, but I know as I listen to this song that I find the rhythm un-rhythmic, the melody one-note, and the production outdated. I express none of these thoughts because of how much Mom loves it. Tears are streaming down her cheeks. Granted, I don’t think they’re just tears of joy. There’s a weight to them too, a significance, and I think I know why. Life has imitated art, if you can call this song that. (You can’t.)
Woah
Heavy
God! I need to read this book. Been looking for it here in Indonesia but couldn't find one yet..
@@lyaadonara1386 look up the title and pdf and u can download it
@@lyaadonara1386 I don’t know if amazon ships there but that’s where I ordered mine and you can also buy audio book on there if they don’t ship to you. Or someone said free pdf so if you can find that, it’s free
her talking about how she hated this song, how the production feels outdated and the melody flat… this is just sad, but i’m happy she made it through now and is able to live the life she herself wants
Hits different when you find out the truth about her mom and what she went through 💔

I used to really love this song. But recently, after Jennette's book, and my deconstruction of the trauma from my own narcissistic mother, this hits home in a weird way.

It's so weird, looking back. I used to watch this video and cry at it when I was a kid, and my home life was fraught enough that I was so jealous of the kids on shows like iCarly (which was my fave). Looking back as an adult having read her book is crazy, realising I knew absolutely nothing. I'm so glad she's gotten to the point she has now and got through everything she did :(
@@jordanlaird4570get a life. She went through fucking hell and your going to say that? That’s fucking sickening
I WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS BACK WHEN THIS DROPPEDDD
ME TOO BESTIE!!! I would randomly play this song and know all the words
👍😀
Hi
How does it feel listening to the song after learning her backstory?
Oh wow wasn’t expecting a country voice coming out of her
Me either
fr
Watching after reading about her process writing this in I'm Glad My Mom Died. It's so sick how they had her portray this image of an independent young woman, when in reality her mom was encouraging her anorexia and showering her still. God bless Jennettee, I'm so happy that this song rings truer now for her life than it did then. She deserves independence.
It is absurd to have her portraits, but even though she has done bad things to her, she loves her mother very much and can't help but thank her for making her what she is, even though her mother took a very questionable way in her upbringing.
@@laurabonadies7974tbh I see how strong she’s become now, and she’d never be able to spite Dan Schneider making double the money off her book than she did on Nickelodeon if not for her upbringing. People often say that her mom doesn’t deserve her forgiveness, which is true. Jennette has said that she doesn’t forgive her mom… but by what I believe about forgiveness, it isn’t something that is for this other person. It’s something for you to come to a sort of indifference to who hurt you, maybe a sadness that they brought themselves to be the way they were. Forgiveness is coming to peace with what you’ve encountered with said person. I think Jennette does forgive her mother in this sense, rather than what everyone wants us to believe about forgiveness… that it’s forgetting.
Currently on chapter 38 and it brought me here. I’m amazed how beautiful her voice really is but scared to continue to read considering the comments. So far the book is great.
Same , I couldn’t put it down
Same I didn't even know she sang!
Who is listening in 2020? This guy is... 👦👂

Who else remembers coming home from school and getting so excited to watch icarly or Sam and cat 😅. I feel so old
I was born at the wrong decade... I should have been early 2000s and not late 2000s
I can't watch icarly, can't find on Netflix and TH-cam gives the broken versions. Sam n cat was on Netflix for a while and got removed, TH-cam also give the broken ver. Sad... :( and I only know about those shows this year... I'm 14. My childhood is barney, Dora, and wonder pets.
I watched it during my highschool days. Good times.
I do
me definetly
This is My first time hearing Jennette McCurdy sing and Her singing voice is amazing!! She could have a very good career as a Country singer.
Most definitely!! She's got a heck of a voice😊
Wow!! Que buena canción!! Y si voz es muy hermosa!! Felicidades!!

from her memoir:
"We're splitting a Nutrisystem frozen lasagna dinner (we ordered the monthlong program to keep each other on track since Nashville has 'so much more lard than LA,' as Mom says) while listening to the final mix of my first single 'Not That Far Away,' a song written from 'my' point of view (by a couple of songwriters I sat next to for a few hours) to my mother, about being on the road without her and how much I miss her, even though in reality I've never spent more than a few hours away from her in all my eighteen years.
I don't know much about music, but I know as I listen to this song that I find the rhythm un rhythmic, the melody one-note, and the production outdated. I express none of these thoughts because of how much Mom loves it."
I didn't know she sang Country music till I read it in the book. A fan of hers for iCarly.
A good song. I am up to after her mom's death in the book, now.
As it's been said, you don't know what's behind the scenes." Wow.
The cry on cue got me the most. Though the autobiography is so emotionally gripping.
Why is she good as hell? Like I’m not sure what I was expecting but like wow.
Huh better than ariana grande
Suham Yamil yes.
Suham Yamil no
@@sunshine071483 nah, it's good, but not better than Ariana.
Ok firs same second there is orther religions hear
This song was underrated. This should have put her on the country genre map. Its so good
We all agree.
In a interview the country music wasnt her idea
@@romaldomadrid8594 ahh that makes sense still a great tune
Snooze
No Janis Joplin she
Memoir is the reason I’m here, as per many of you, it’s strange how all of her songs pertain to her mother in some way. My heart goes out to her and her recovery!
Bom. Dia😊
Who’s here after reading about this song in her memoir 😔 such a painful but well written book
Me crying watching this she deserves so much better I love this girl so much
Me too
IKRRRR
she had nothing to envy Ari I love them both. They are the most
@@siroramirez5756 I agree they’re both amazing people
Agreed
I miss her so much! She was a part of my childhood😢
She is my fav nick star
She is my favorite Nick star
How is this
What to do passed away
She did not die
She’s so talented but I give her so much props for putting her mental health first before money and her career.
Just finished listening to the Audio book...it was so raw and honest there was even a bit towards the end where you could hear Jeanette get choked up from tears
I loved watching her as a kid and could never imagined all what she was going through while acting as Sam
She is an amazing beautiful young woman and im so glad She's healed or Healing ...im so truly happy for her
I’m listening in 2020. She has a great country voice.
yeah
Agreed
It auto tune

She is an amazing person and one of the coolest people I have ever seen.
Wow I watch this 2 times for og feelings
Wuttaii I love your profile picture bro. I played that game. Then link game
@@superfanb5742 thank you my friend
You comment on Sssniperwolfs Channel all the time. Why do l keep seeing you everywhere? 😀
@@railyndatta4219 who me?
She actually has a really great voice and I never realized.
Here after reading the book. Knowing everything she was going through at the time. May God forgive her mother for all she put her through and may she some day go back to singing or just what ever her heart desires.
Why should God forgive her mother?? Her mother put Jennette through hell. It's Jennette's forgiveness that her mother needs to absolve her sins, not God's, and God would know that all the same.
@@jennanichols2945 Amen!
We can just support Janette without involving forgiving her mother in the conversation. It’s Janette’s story and she’s the one who needs the respect and support.
Lyrics: Not That Far Away
They're playin' guitars with stars their eyes on Broadway
They're just paying their dues
And waitin' for news on a big break
I wish you were here
Cuz sometimes I get lonely
Guess I'm not the only new girl in town
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
There's so many new faces and beautiful places in this town
I'm learnin' the ropes on this crazy road I'm goin' down
I'm makin' my way
No one said that it'd be easy
Trust me believe me
I'm where I belong
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
We're miles apart
But you're in my heart
I keep you with me everywhere I go
Momma I promise I'll be alright
I'll call to say I love you every night
I'm just tryin' to write the story my life
You know all about this dream I gotta chase
I get a little closer everyday
California is not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
I'm not that far away
Thank you for the lyrics!
I remember being OBSESSED with this song a few years ago
Me
why ello unus annus viewer!
This is sad. I wanted to hear her music after listening to the book. She's gone through a lot. I hope she enjoy her life now. She deserves it.
I'm here after I heard about your story as an child star. I'm glad you're now living your life. Praying for peaceful mind and a healthy living!
I suddenly remembered this after at least 6 years of not listening to it and it's 2019 now wow
Dead ass.
Same and I didn't even listen to it when it was new
ioanna mav ummm now it’s 2020
And now it is 2022
@@galacticunicorn4091 and now 2022
I really wish she'd start singing again. She really is good.
The way this always seemed like a sweet song, telling her mom she's off to chase her dreams, but now..... damn.
Wow, reading the book this song has a completely new meaning
Omg it’s my birthday and I should be celebrating but I’m literally sat watching this, I can’t get enough of her voice !!!!!!
im late but happy bday and i wish she sung more on icarly PLEASE BRING IT BACK

Happy late birthday drama lover🎂🎈🎉

Hits different now that she came out with her book
I’m watching these videos with such different eyes now. Jennette McCurdy was a major role model of mine (and still is to this day), but after reading her new memoir, “I’m Glad My Mom Died,” for the second time and hearing sing about a dream that she didn’t even really wanna chase but did it for her family and to make her mom happy… I don’t know, it just opens such a brighter light now.. I love you Jennette and I hope you are loving the real life that you want to live now. I’ll always be your number one supporter. 💜
Just started to wonder what was up with Ms. McCurdy, so I looked for her. I think I'm just now finding out that she sings & sounds GOOD! Watching in 2020 now. Jennette, I pray you are well. Sending thoughts, prayers, hugs, & positivity your way💜💫💋
that was so sweet me too
@@teresahaney1400 Hey thank you, Teresa!😊💕
NatureForce37 SHES also an Actor x
@@thxtgirlchlxe4260 Uhhm ... yeah, I know. That's why I said I was just now finding out that she sings and sounds good. Most *actresses* do not.
NatureForce37 Stop being rude.
She sings better than a lot of these modern country singers
Yep , she is one of the best singers
I remember listening to this song of Jennette’s in high school! It feels so weird listening to it after finding out what her relationship with her mom was really like!
Wow didn’t even know she sang! Came here right after reading the book! Great voice I feel so bad for her! Glad she’s free now!
I still listen to this song almost every day, it will possibly be the soundtrack of my entire life along with Generation Love.
Jennette, I know you don't make music anymore but thank you for making these awesome songs.
I love the country vibe in this song!
its a country song....
Me too🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙☎️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎻🎻🎻🎻😅😅😅😅😅😄😄😄😃😃😃🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😁😁😀😀😍😍
Emily ʕ⁎̯͡⁎ʔ༄ she's a country singer didn't you know that?
I love you're songs
Me to
I was so obsessed with this song when it came out. It hits different now that I’ve read her book.
Im on page 128 and now I see in her eyes the sorrow. Never even knew this existed. Sam was my favorite and I watched icarly and Loved it and collected everything because I caught an episode while I babysat my best friends 9 year old. I was 36 at the time. Spencer and Sam with the blow dart paint guns. When Sam stood in for Carly at the pageant and tap danced --- she was incredible and I was shocked and those people running that show knew I would be. And I told people. And they started watching it. And then Sam and Cat came on and I STILL loved Sam. I missed Spencer, and I couldnt stand Cat. But then Ariana came out later with 99 Problems and I think she is an incredible singer, Im so sorry Jennette. And I really feel I need to say Thank You because you gave me so much joy. And a lot of difficult times happened to me that you carried me through. You are actually a truly gifted actor for putting on a smile during all of this horror you personally endured. This book is only half read and Im bawling. So if i ever cross paths with you, I will be the one who respects your privacy. I will be the one you dont even know recognized you. i will be the one silently reading every book you ever write on any subject. Because your acting only brought me joy. But your writing has reached down my throat and grabbed my heart. Just : thank you thank you thank you.
holy crap Sam Puckett can sing
Lol ikr
Lol
Lol
Yeah lol
Lol
Wow! She can actually sing. Surprised we haven't heard more from Jennette.
Alan Peterson that’s because she’s actually talented.
@@seasonsstarsstudiosthis comment is kinda heartbreaking with hindsight considering the reason we haven't heard from her has nothing to do with her talent
her story is really something. i’m so glad she released her book
This song hits different after reading her book. 💔
I love Jennette McCurdy so much ❤️ She is truly beautiful and a fantastic singer😍
Seeing Jennette McCurdy be sweet is so weird to me; I'm so used to seeing her as Sam on iCarly
same
FaitHope this was on my birthday I'm so shocked
FaitHope I didn't have cable so I didn't get to see iCarly (or Sam and Cat) when they were on. I only knew her as a singer back then. Because she had such a mature voice and her name was Jennette I assumed she was a lot older, too. Then I finally saw her on iCarly and it was just like whoa, huge difference! 😮
FaitHope this is clearly why no Nick stars get other good roles in tv shows, sadly
0 1 she has a show on Netflix now, so...
After reading the book, these songs feel so different
Poor Jennette:( meanwhile, she’s soooo talented. In so many ways.
Woah what. Her voice is stunning, and I don't even like country.
i agree!! i just listened to her voice for the first time and i'm stunned!!
I know 😍😍😍😍
Joya Johnson 💞
Hailey Westfall me too
She is my cousin
OMG! I cried with this video, her mom dies in 2013. She dedicate this song to her.
When I was a child, I listened this song a lot of times, and I thought: if she traveled away to reach her dreams, I can do that too. This song is very inspirational.
After reading her book, it makes me sad listening to this. I can’t imagine how she felt being forced to sing this.
This was one of my most favorite Jennette McCurdy songs, but now… wow… just wow.
My momma & papa passed away the beginning of the year. & this song brought me to tears. 🥺💛 Thank you.
Sorry for your loss ❤️😓
I’m so sorry
I had no idea this existed until now, and I'm not gonna lie, this is better than almost every single song of the past decade.
After reading this part in the book, I get goosebumps watching this video. When it came out, I was so happy for her. Just tells you, you never know what someone is going through
I have a knot in my throat listening to this, knowing what she had to put up with throughout her youth.
This kid has such a good voice. She needs to be given far more credit!! Thank you!!♥️♥️
It sounds like she has been doing this for decades, like an old sounding country singing. Very mature.
First time seeing this. It’s sad to see now knowing how her mother treated her. She’s a really good singer. I’d like to hear her make a song of how she really feels now.
Coming here after listening to her memoir is haunting…
I never knew Jennette could sing this good. She has such a beautiful voice and she's really pretty too.

boy yolo
im sorry i cant get over her beautiful voice
Nope
Me dude
I cant even believe she sings so good after playing Sam on iCarly.
@caZ galAXy look at date it was before sam i cat
@caZ galAXy no wtf it was 2013 to 2014 search at googles
@caZ galAXy omg chill dude xD
It makes me so sad she was forced to do this because I absolutely loved this song when it came out. I was here for the country music career
This hits different after the book. I loved her music
This was my favorite song when it came out, can't believe its been almost 8 years already, time does fly.
Can't believe this only has 2M views, This video deserves so much more it's amazing
The church
Daniel Walter I'm watching this when there is 3.2 MILLION views.
i agree with you
3.3 now!😂
3.36 now
I still find this song beautiful for what it could mean to someone in real life, and I think Jenette sounds wonderful. But I’m glad I know the truth after reading her book. A lot of art is made for other people, for better or worse, and that’s as far as it goes.
I just finished reading this part of her book. The fact that she had just found out that her mother's cancer had returned and she didn't even want to go on the tour is haunting. I feel so sorry for her, but happy she now gets to do what she truly wants.

Why do I feel like this is about leaving Icarly

as she says in the book, it was mostly songwriters that wrote it

I’m so proud of her cuz she acts so amazing on the shows!👏🏾

Her Mom made her Do all of that Stuff
So sad that she is singing about her mom in this song. When her actual mother was abusive and manipulative. 😥😥😥
