A deceleration that "I will hurt, I will be miserable, I will fail. But I will continue on, through the hurt, through the misery, through the failure". Pure acceptance and will dancing together.
When facing demons and darkness, you have to find a way, to carry on, to push through. You have to choose to live, choose life, choose love.
I'm crying as I'm writing this comment, but I believe I have to share what I'm feeling right now and what this song did and is doing for me.
I moved to a different country with my wife in search for a better life for us both. I left family, friends and everything I had behind. Now a few months later she says this is not for her and has left me and gone back to our home country. I find myself all alone in a new country trying to make ends meet. I have nothing here but my will to persevere.
And even now when everything around me is pitch black, I still find light and strength while listening to Hemsey's songs, specially this one.
I even got myself a "The Way" tattoo to remind myself that even though I do not know the way, I do know that I must keep on going and rise above all the sorrow, pain and fear.
I don't care if this ever reaches Zack or anyone. All I care is that I'm truly grateful for all the amazing music he has ever made and how it changed my life. It saved me.
Thank you.
"How long can I survive this for
How long can I abate this for
How long can I remain this strong
Well how long can I just sing this song"
May God show you His miracles.
I know exactly how you feel, something similar happened to me this year. I have not stopped crying for almost an hour after hearing this song on repeat. I've felt like letting go a few times in my life, but I've always found a way to deal with things. That's not to say that those things don't leave a scar, they mark you sometimes for life and it hurts and it might feel overwhelming at times but you have to keep soldiering on. The only thing is I wish I didn't have to go through things alone, and I'm sure you know what that feels like. Whatever you do Fernando, don't stop looking for a way because there is always one waiting to be found. Thanks for sharing your story, there are many people going through something similar to what you're going through and it helps to see we are not the only ones. Bless you and remember that she isn't the only thing to make you feel whole and you won't turn your heart to stone.
I can't relate. We all have our own stories. Thanks for sharing. I don't know what person I'd be if on a fateful day I went with my dad who was watching the equalizer and heard this song. It played on the exact day,time, and moment where I was meant to be introduced to Zack Hemsey. The universe plays Dice Einstein and God plays dice.
k
True dat man 💪👊
I was listening to a lot of Zack Hemsey tracks while trying to draw, and realized I had not drawn a line on the page by the time this song was over. It was so powerful that I just held my pencil and listened. Really made me think everyone in the world should slow down and listen once and a while.
very powerful
Sam here. I was trying to write a poem, also do some art, but instead just sat here and listened
Deep
Same here man, i was traying to make a song and this came out, all in this song fits so good, piece of art
Funny,...
"This is not the only way to make me whole and I will never turn my heart to stone."
These words hit me. This is what I needed to hear after my breakup.
Amazing that after a decade this song still hits others as it does me
I know this may sound cliche but it really does get better with time, it may feel like you're world is over you may want it to be sometimes but it gets easier eventually
@@jamessmith-gf2vk Yes it does. I'm much better now.
@@dylanthemysterious0891 Glad to hear it take care of yourself man
This ain't rap. This is ART.
Verse 1:
I heard they found a way to no set place
That they’re way ahead and winning but there’s no real race
And they’re feeding on the thrill of a chase
When they’ll never find a way to keep the pace
I heard they found a way to build our dreams
Can they engineer a world in which we hear no screams
And I heard that they can make vaccines
But our sick routine isn’t keen to relieve
I heard they found a way to see through walls
Do they have the sight to see my scars
And can they find a way to view who we are
Or does such vision just exist in the far
And can incisions ever fix all the vying that persists
Can a needle cure the evil through the arm
I’m told they have the means to travel to the stars
But can’t journey to the start of the savage in our hearts
So if I’m ravaged and afraid
Damaged and apart, tired of charades
How can I clear the smoke that billows
Wade through to cope and chisel out a life that’s worthy and of praise
Chorus:
My whole life’s passing me by
As I sit and wonder why
I’ll find a way
Verse 2:
They say tomorrow brings a brighter day
But do they know about the sorrow that’s beyond the fray
Do they see all of the madness that man obeys
And can they understand that sadness won’t go away
But it’s okay cuz the truth is I’m feeling whole
Feeling like the emptiness inside has found a home
And I’m hopeful that my destiny is one of heights
One in which the apathy in me no longer strikes
And I wonder how this ending has come to pass
When just yesterday was carefree and full of laughs
But if there’s certainty in anything it’s what we have
Is but impermanent cuz no thing will always last
Yet still I can’t help but question fate
Can’t shake the feeling that I hold the key to great escape
And I feel in me a yearning that still endures
A spirit wandering and eager now to find a cure
Believe me this is pure essence
Pure intention
It goes beyond mere conversation and confession
It’s much too vague to formulate into expression
But perhaps there’s something greater that we’ve all been set in
And this is not to say I know the way
This is not to say attachment’s been put away
This is not to say my love for you’s been held at bay
And I don’t possess or know a simple route to change
But it is to say I hold you close
And it is to say the love in me is more than most
And it is to say your absence has left it’s mark
But I tell myself this plays within a bigger part
Now you are not the only way to make me whole
Know that I won’t ever turn my heart to stone
You are not the only way to make me whole
And I won’t ever turn my heart to stone
And I’ll find a way
Verse 3:
I’m not without a spirit that can hold up to the torture
Not without a will to stop the cycle that marauders
Not without a mind to free the hate within my border
And to cleanse the vessel into which my consciousness is ordered
I’m not afraid of monsters that intimidate and taunt ya
Not afraid to challenge all the violence and slaughter
The leviathans that haunt are hardly deadly out of water
I’ll find a way to offer the elixir of disorder
So many trails have crossed the rivers forged from all our tears
So many paths have left us all alone during these years
So many that we’ve lost but I can feel their presence near
I can see a road ahead that leads beyond the known frontier
So lift yourself up slowly and rest your eyes upon me
And let the sad and lonely float away and disappear
And leave the guilt and shame and all the anger and the fear
Lets trade it for the will to find a way to persevere
Chorus
Verse 4:
How long can I surrender for
How deep can my descending bore
How long can I neglect me for
How long is this confinement for
How long can I arrest me for
How long can I detain me for
How long before I stray off course
How long before all hope is lost
How long can one survive among the horror
Live among the demons that all seethe in darkened corners
Cling to all the grief released in tidal waves upon ya
Proclaim it isn’t fair, content to bear forever mourner
This moment is in order
Now let the waters pass
Let the smoldered ash remain beside the olden past
Leave it on behalf of those who crave to hear you laugh
And walk among the living as you find a way to last
How long can I survive this for
How long can I abate this for
How long can I remain this strong
Well how long can I just sing this song
I’ll find a way
Absolute fucking poetry
g 2 g namaste
No better summary of the human condition while in mourning
I stopped listening to anything else once I found zack hemsey.
Surely I'm not the only one who hears aspects of the Interstellar soundtrack in this? I love both :)
Dan Clark I was totally thinking the same thing...
Me too broooooo! 😃
Yep
Yep same here
But this is older
So many ZH songs I relate to. From Waiting Between Worlds to So Silent. At War With Me to Empty Room. But this song. This song will play at my funeral. It embodies my perception of life, to speak of the melancholic and dreary and in the same breath feel hope. I'm not depressed, I find comfort in sadness, as it's one of the few honest emotions I ever saw from my family. My mom suffered from schizophrenia, and it was only her pain of losing me to foster care that I felt she understood in her situation. She battled it for months, going in an out of the hospital. She wrote me letters I never read until I was an adult, and she apologized in every one of them. She went back to school to get her GED; something she had wanted for 20 years. She found a way.
But I was only 14, and I was selfish. I turned my back on her, and in turn, she took her own life.
It is because of her that I will find a way, and I won't ever turn my heart to stone.
On a lighter note, @Zack Hemsey, I wrote a book while listening to your music. It's been 4 years since I started, and I must say, it would be a far more boring story without the places your lyrics and compositions take me. They give me hope, pulled me through the hardest years of my life (so far :P), and in all honesty, are straight-up bangers. Everyone who rides in my car has the privilege to listen to your music, and my roomates and neighbors get exposed to your songs, too.
My deepest gratitude,
Hannah
Interesting story, and sad. I feel you. That's a truly heart wrenching comment. I also feel like some of Zack's songs envision some aspects of my life, this song especially. For the last few years i've felt alone, like really alone. Don't get me wrong, i love my family, but since middle school i've been alone without friends. Going out, travelling or doing things with friends has never occurred in my life since middle school. This year marks the fifth year of friendliness, but i'm going to fight to put an end to this vicious cycle. I'm going to try.
@@Ryan_2112 Heck yea, that's all you can do! I think a lot of people don't realize that without things like a mandatory attendance to school, the only people some folks are exposed to are their coworkers. In some businesses, that's the same couple of people. It's easy to feel isolated, cause it's easy to BE isolated. You need a friend, I'm there. Nice the meet you.
What's the book called? Would I be able to find it?
Thanks for this song. It is possibly the one song that has always managed to give me strength to keep fighting when I am battered and broken. Thank you.
Same. No other song comes close.
After being broken and thrown away my heart turned to stone. Years later and songs like these helped me bring back my humanity and let go of my anger and hate
I cry for this guy,why he is not sitting next to zimmer,I pray for u zack hemsey....!! u deserve all the sucess
+ansh gautam Huh? His music has already been in a number of major movies and TV shows like Game of Thrones, The Equalizer, Transformers, Inception and other major movies. He's definitely already successful.
+Autix and falling skies for tehyr intro
+Autix His music wasn't exactly IN Inception and Game of Thrones, but in trailers of them. The soundtrack of Inception is fully made by Zimmer, the sdt of GoT by Djawadi.
He's somehow right, you know. If you speak with people about composer, the name Zimmer WILL be named. But actually, I know not only one person who knew Hemsey before I introduced them to his music. They love it though.
Eminem has good songs too, like mockingbird and beautiful.
this song gives me the strength to never give up on battling ptsd. No song will ever be able to touch me more than this one. It's a lyrical masterpiece, state of the art.
just so u kno u r not alone :') i understand how difficult it is. pls have gratitude for every kindness u have ever faced and dont hold ur gratitude back by thinking u r overreacting.
but most importantly, be grateful to your own actions. acknowledge that every kindness you provide with whatever experience might have caused this makes you strong. you can then see and confirm that you can do this! that its possible and you are capable.
if you look at yourself you can see that its possible for others too to be such as respectful as you are, and that bringing pain despite obtaining pain is not necessary!
This song is definitely bomb. There is a song by Linkin Park I think you should listen to. The name of the song is leave out All the rest. Trust me bro
So true.
Favorite part 0:00 - 7:49
xD
I see, hear and feel what has been done here. I can tell you for certain that the message has been heard and felt. Great awakening is here.
In a bad place rn.
Both parents were hospitalized,evicted 3 times,now living in a distant city where nothing is familiar and I miss my fucking family.
Zack Hemsey's been my favorite musician for a long time and it seems to be the only thing that's keeping the fire going.
Keep on pushing brother! We all KNOW that you’ve got the pure fucking will to make it trough this; this bull nevers lasts forever but YOU do. Poundtown forever 👌👌
Shaohan Yu I’ve been there. I know there’s nothing I can say. Just hang on
There is more in you than you realize. Hang on.
Always remember your never alone you always have spirt guides.
It's been 7 months since you wrote that message. I hope the one that I'm writing finds you well. You can do it bro!
Rhythm And Poetry is true, this is poetry that should be appreciated by people more.
In my opinion the best song by Zack Hemsey so far! How this didn't get a Grammy reward?!
In the light of his newest album, I've been listing to all of Zacks music. This was his first major release back in 2010.
When you look at all of them in a timeline, you can see a journey start to develop. From suffering (empty room) to finding a way out (the way) to teaching others what you have learned and experienced (Ronin and possibly Nomad)
However this song is the most important to me. Here is where he declares that he is not giving up. He is rising to meet the pain and hurt. He may not know how, but he will find a way.
Very right. He refers to Empty Room in Nomad too. He's singing how he did it in No Man's Land, even by using the term "Empty Room".
Zack Hemsey's music's just beautiful. I'll Find A Way is one of myall-time favorite songs of him too. I've listened to it countless of times.
This song sums up human existence, its so good, I love it
Gotta say, this song touches so deep. The lyrics are just amazing and well put together. This is what music was created to be, something to touch your soul and relieve anything with the power of ones voice to touch the very foundation of you and fingers to make a symphony that relieves even the most abyssal places in your soul.
Zack Hemsey is so underrated and this is one of his underrated masterpieces
Thank you Zack for your work. Your audience isn't the largest. But your work has touches quite a few lives and has helped me through more than I care to share. Keep being honest and true in the words that are written on your heart and in your mind. The art lives in your work. Keep finding your way!
Who the hell would dislike such great music?
+Paul Yanacep people who don't have nothing els to do but to dislike people s vids thay have no lives no hart no happy ness owell leest we liked it
VanishingX Bones
I'm glad someone responded, let me take a minute to explain why what we both said sounds ignorant. The like, and dislike system is there for a reason. It identifies what most of the people felt about the video. In this case a lot of people like it, but some people might have preferred Zack Hemsey's: Ronin, as apposed to Empty Room, or The Way.
Paul Yanacep yep that is true
+Paul Yanacep people who have opinions i guess
Dimitrijs Bloha
Very true, see above.
This resonates on a personal level but not because I've lost someone else but because I've lost myself. I find myself trapped in a malaise, lacking the will to do what needs to be done while chasing the ghosts of reasons why this has happened, subconsciously making the decision to keep running away rather than crossing the line in the sand and going into no man's land, trapped inside the cave until it eventually collapses. My girlfriend is an absolute angel for putting up with me but I know time is running out. Maybe some alone time is good and learning to let go of people but it will still be damn painful and I don't know if it would make things better or worse.
A song that reaches the depths of existence. Deep as a God-given second-chance to life.
This is the kind of song that makes you realize that we really tend to "label" certain types of music styles, and that it just restrain us from making absolutely wonderful musical discoveries. Now when someone asks me what type of music I listen to, I tend to say "everything". I don't want to limit myself. Really like all the elements in this song.
Thank you for proving me that rap can be melodic and powerful. I usually don't listen to rap, not that I think it's bad but I don't usually like it. This song... Almost brought me tears, definitly brought me chills. And 99% of the songs I love don't do it. Such a beautiful music. Twentieth century music isn't that bad after all
+Adam's Apple lol yes sorry
5 years later and you still "goddamn right"!
This Is Freedom.
most rap songs are usually about money and girls, so it's so refreshing to hear a beautiful rap song like this
Yeah you're spot on! This is the next level music, so liberating!
lol. you clearly don't listen to rap.
@@rgupta90 If you say so.
A few of his songs left me in a trance and i aint realize it. Powerful beats and words. This happens very rarely. It makes you think and realize things. When the song goes off you realize it was just the music.
Listen to it repeatedly..maybe it won’t go away so fast.
a masterpiece...
Thank you..........
Thank you Zack.
With such lyrics it's impossible no to enlight yourself! The more I listen Zack, the more I open my mind.
Zack Hamsey you're the BEST man! Thanks for you music, it's gave a sensation that i can not explain just with a few words... I have sure that everyone here feel the same, the lyrics are so... i don't know... deep... But fills and encourage us to keep going, no matter what.
My life is a mistake by now, but i have sure that I'll find a way. Cheers from Brazil!
Hope you well soon bro 🙏😊
It's crazy the amount of depth an artist can put into a song if they use more than 10 words per verse.
This honestly might be one of the most powerful tracks i have ever heard in my life. Fucking mint! Relate to everything he tells his story about. Fuck i can't stop listening! God bless everyone! LET'S TRADE IT FOR THE WILL TO FIND A WAY TO PERSEVERE! AND I'LL FIND A WAY!!!!!
Looks like I found a new favorite artist.
Going on five years for me as a fan and he’s firmly secured #1 in my favorite music. Uncontested
One amazing album after the other. Thank you for your music
I barely got to the 2-minute mark before I was in tears.
Nearly 8-minutes of my life ill ever ask for back ...
One of my best friends showed me this last night while we were gaming and I'm coming back to it. I'm on my second listening in a row and plan to listen to it again. And OMG is this song good. The music is Interstellar before interstellar, his flow is like Logic before Logic. I didn't need this song 10 years ago but I needed it now. I feel this song is a good respresentation of my internal struggle right now and I am in tears and I can't wait to hear the rest of this album.
This so amazing it tells a story so true what's going on in this world love it and so beautiful never get tired of this classic I'LL FiND WAY,
This music is so Endearing ... I can not stop to listen!
Jimmy, if you ever see this bro, thank you for sending this to me..! I needed this
I know this was shared to me 7 years after being posted, I am now a fan. Thanks for posting this song, it helped me today!
i wish they would play this on the radio in sounthern ill ? i love this song.
This music should be promoted more like I like some of the rap songs because they get me hyped but this brings peace to mind and has a message I love this
Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you should hate it.
Totally right, dude
“You are not the only way to make me whole” hits me so hard. I lost a close friend of mine and those lyrics make me bawl EVERY time.
I’m so sorry .. Hope you’re doing ok 🙏
I'm happy I'm not the only one who thinks this way
This is perfection. If I can manage, I will make this into legacy.
It's beautiful...needed a song like this.
I learned something by looking at the likes and also number of views of this song: u can be perfect without anyone's approval and people's opinions don't really define something's value
Poetry, is what I call it.
This has hit me on so many levels, I can't simply explain how I feel
I'm a writer and this just made me want to write even more, you've just opened up my mind, thank you!
The title and the lyrics let me think that this song could renamed as the song of hopeful dedication. It's exactly what I feel when I listen to it.
a very deep meaning song.
Dat real real hip hop. Hip hop is not dead it is invested upon music composed of the soul
I find i way - the way
I will find my way
I don't normally like the combination of vocal and instrumental sounds in harmony for the purpose of emotional expression but this is good.
Changed me deeply... Completely connected to it.. There are no words for the wave of emotion. Especially after my sister has died of an OD two years ago and my cousin Jeff of cancer this year.
Love it. Pushes me forward.
this song is my soul
Long Live HEMSEY!!!!!
This might be one of the most inspiring and beautiful piece of music I've ever heard.
this song is old but gold
Zach love you brother. Please for the love of God keep making music like this. Please continue to shine a light in this dark world. If only to change a few lives I promise you it’ll be worth it. It sure has changed mine.
simply amazing
I don't normally listen to rap. In fact I hate it. But this is different... this isn't rap. This is a story.
+Fuarian His whole album is one big story if you listen in the right order. :')
+Fuarian its hip hop rap is just part of it
Sure but not a very meaningful one.
What rap have you heard? Ever heard of Yelawolf, Immortal Technique, Eminem, Macklemore, NWA, Fort Minor? Just a few that either have produced profound thought provoking music or currently still are.
You're my inspiration, thank you♡
So this song somehow came on in the background when I started watching this show called Travelers the first episode on Netflix, I thought it was the actually music of the show until I paused the show and the song kept playing but this song went perfect with it anyway I am a fan now!
Underrated af. This is just magic very hard to describe. It's takes me somewhere
Thank you
This is my song ❤️
Superb track.
we shall remain so strong that we prevail!
Even though addiction is tapping on my shoulder ....every day, Ill find a way. I will live with you whispering into my ear, giving me proud joys when I accomplish something that I could not with you inside. 'I'll find a way....this is not the only way to make me whole....and I will never turn my heart to stone.'
Stand strong brother
@@Enigmashoot Still doing good brother. The pain remains, but it keeps me sane....I'm no longer afraid of the monsters....they keep whispering though.....at times I entertain their conversations.....They miss the old me.
Beautiful song
this was absolutley amazing
This is an amazing song!! Inspired me on what I wanted to write for my narrative essay, this is truly an inspirational song!!
A decade old...at that sink in. I was only 1p years old when this came out.
I am glad this is part of your nostalgia!
This is my life song right now... I'm slowly recovering from being badly abused my ex that beaten me everyday... Now I'm dealing my parents abusing me... I'm trying so hard to find a way to get through this and stay strong.... It's so hard..... :'(
Norman.Reedus.Saved.Me13 just keep going. Like the song said. You will find a way
stay positive i been through alot too and always keep the faith,
Keep strong brother/sister. You’ve already made passed through one shitty situation millions around the world can’t escape. Nothing, not even your own miserable family, will be able to keep you from the way you pave for yourself. Stay Strong! 👌
I love it !
I will find a way
Fantastic
I love this song
I love this stuff
