Me and my son in the pick up truck together, jamming out to music from over a decade ago. It brought tears to my eyes with my son told me, “Dad, your music is awesome.” He likes music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s the most. He doesn’t listen to what his friends listen to. Not bad for an eight year-old I guess.
Back in 2005 my best friend bought me this CD and I listened to it every day for months. He killed him self in 2012 and this is the 1st time since then I’ve listened to this song. I’m overwhelmed with emotions right now.
82 bby here. Love alternative/rock. 1st time hearing...was instantly captivated. Can't believe baby boy isn't here 🥺. So glad to experience him & his gift 🙏🏾.
The amount of underrated amazing bands from this time period is just crazy to me still... Don't understand how there are so many great ones that didn't get as popular as others.
In this band's case, honestly... This song is just so, so much better than their other stuff. I like their other music but this song just has better lyrics and songwriting by a MILE compared to anything else they've done. It sounds much more urgent, vital and serious.
@ NegaArson I agree pretty much. A lot of their stuff is ALMOST amazing. Like it gets so close but doesn't quite reach the zenith it should. Make sense?
I've hit replay like 30 times, and can't stop crying. I'm currently struggling with an opioid addiction. I'm in treatment, and I'm clean, but it is so hard. I'm so grateful to music to help me through difficult times.
You will make it! I struggled with a nasty opioid addiction for over 20 years, and ended up in the hospital in a coma. I have been clean for over 3 years now, and the music gets me through the rough patches ♡ It is truly a choice you make, every minute of every day! The struggle is real, but great music sure helps!!
The song was actually released in 2004 on their killing all that holds you album, which they later redid in 2005 for autumn effect. 2006 is only the year it was uploaded on youtube :P
This music video is still powerful. There are people we may come across in life that may have a scar of trauma. Physically or mentally, they have managed to make it far.

First time I sat down to watch the video than listen to the music. What a trip. Really made me think back on my life up to this point and realize it isn't THAT bad.
This song and video show that those of us blessed with safety, security, the basic things we take for granted are truly blessed. It's a dark World with Billions suffering to eat, get clean water, not live in fear of murder rape or torture. Here in America we have it so good we complain about anything that is an inconvenience.
It's kind of akin to today's turmoil here as well. We are in the middle of another chaotic black lives matter movement, the KKK are recruiting in the streets. All while stupid people are protesting, saying wearing masks are like slavery, etc.

Ten years ago I was a young school boy who had a big family and had watched many of them go to using heroin and other drugs due to other lose of family members and the cycle was endless until I one day broke down at school telling a teacher how my own brother and closest family had been using, two years later I myself became a user and lost many people to the drug then I truly understood the meaning of this song. about 6 and a half years later I am now watching this video to the song for the first time and I am clean. it's strange how life takes you places you never thought you'd be.. but somehow if we end up living a life we thought we never would we are wiser for it. . stay safe people, hang in and never lose hope.
@@burtonwilliams1607 thanks brother! Will do! 😁✌ I've done enough bad in my life that it time for me to do some good for once all we have in moments like this is each other thanks for the positive energy you as well!💪💪😁
Here in 2024, heard this song a few years ago immediately recognizing it, brought back the memories of me and my dad driving around the woods in our old Toyota, all sorts of hunting memories from when I was a kid. Safe to say this will stay on playlist till I kick the can.
Saw 10 years live in 06, I enjoyed it so much that i took my then 7yr old son to see them in 2011 it was his first show and a great one. He's 20 now and still tells everyone what a great experiense it was.
I enjoyed this song when It first came out I listened to it on the radio whenever it came on when my mom was driving places it always tugged on my heartstrings now I'm 27 going on 28 and this song still hits hard:) wish I could have saw them
what do you mean 100s of millions of views? this only has 3.9 million..... OHHH you were saying this is one of the good songs that doesnt have enough views...
I instantly choked up when he yelled _"I want you to help."_ with that new imaging, ngl Like, I've loved this song ever since I was a kid - and I never really knew _why_ that was, I just knew I understood it on some deeply intimate level. That it was important to me. For those of you who have seen the original video: I felt like the fish was me. A lifetime later, the reasons finally make sense. I didn't know how bad off I was back then, how monstrously I was treated by not only family, but society - it's to such an extent that even if I was to explain it, most people likely wouldn't comprehend the severity of what I'm saying. It's even hard for me to, most of the time. Not because I'm unaware of what I've been through, but because I feel as though I'm not allowed to acknowledge it or what it's done to me. And that has a lot to do with people around me and the expectations that they have about each other. It's assumed that if I look and act okay, then I have nothing to complain about. That, because it's "hard all around", that should somehow nullify that I was hurt and that I am still hurting and that healing is hard when you've been given no space to heal. _"I will not hide you through this_ _I want you to help them, please see_ _The bleeding heart perched on my shirt"_ To me, it's about the inability to help one another. Be that the person suffering and unable to help themselves or the people watching and unwilling to see that someone needs help. _"Should I? Could I?"_ Yes, you can and yes you should. The only ways in which I have ever been able to move forward from my traumas is with a hand in my hand. It takes more than yourself to get better. It's a rare thing for someone to truly save themself by themselves and, honestly, I think you lose something very innocent in yourself when you have to - something you can't replace. It's tragic and it shouldn't have to happen. We and the world are a wasteland because we let each other waste away - no well, no water, no life. Suffocating on this barren earth because no one will check if they have a drink to spare. I suppose this song has always reminded me of how often it was that I felt alone. Truly, terribly alone in this world. In my worst days, I would look out my window and wish someone would see me, would save me, or at least help me save myself - but they never came. Not back then. I went through a lot more than I ever had to because no one wanted to look at the kid crying for help until it was almost too late. Every day, I feel a little more wasted away, even now. These days, I take a great deal of solace in the people I've chosen to see, in the people I've tried to help, along the way - and watching them make it, where I didn't, is enough sometimes to keep going until the next day. But, I still remember this. This feeling, this loneliness. This song reminds me that I still wish that more people would help - because I've cared for so many crying children, and that there are still so many more tells me that there are still not enough people choosing to help.
Your comment broke me 😢 I have Lived similar experiences as you, and it's nice to know that I wasn't the only person. It's okay to accept that you went through hell in life, it's okay to take note of how it hurt and can still hurt. That makes you human honey. If your pain does not feel justified, that will place guilt on top of the pain. Your feelings do matter and they are important to me and everyone else with an open loving heart in this world. Being so utterly alone, lonesome and lost in this world... You don't have to be alone in it. I know You don't know me, but if you ever want to talk I'm here for you.
Well said and you’re SO RIGHT, too!! A fellow US Veteran calls it, “3-Seconds of Waiting!” If we could ALL Wait 3-SECONDS EXTRA When You/I/WE Approach or Meet someone else.., then imagine what views & thoughts might open-up to us ALL..??? 3-SECONDS Of WAITING For More PEACE, LOVE and EMPATHY.😎🇺🇸
Someone else already said it but this musical period was probably the best ever for rock and roll. 61 year old man here who loves this kickass modern rock music .
I'm right here with you my brother. I don't care how old I get, I want intensity, honesty and emotion in my rock music. I can still find it, I just need to dig a little deeper these days.
My older brother put me onto this song and I'm so happy he did. It was his ringtone for awhile. He passed away a few years back and boy do I miss him! I miss my entire family tbh...
It's always eye opening to watch a video like this, and realize when you think you've nearly lost faith in all of humanity, that you actually still deeply care about humanity, and that some people out there have it way worse than you and their perspectives on the world are probably more positive than your own.
This song makes me feel that everything is gonna be okay even if it seems if they world is against you. Your stronger than any of your enemies and your better than to act like them. The devil will always try to make you fall to your knees but God will always be there to pick you up before you fall 🙏❤.
Went to see 10 years live for the first time, sound unheard, while they were touring TAE many moons ago. I was instantly enamored with their sound and have carried them around in my head since then. Thanks for the tunes!
Change my attempt, good intentions [Verse 1] Crouched over, you were not there, living in fear But signs were not really that scarce, obvious tears But I will not hide you through this, I want you to help them Please see the bleeding heart perched on my shirt Die, withdraw, hide in cold sweat, quivering lips Ignore remorse, naming a kid, living wasteland This time you've tried all that you can, turning you red [Chorus] Change my attempt, good intentions Should I? Could I? Here we are with your obsession Should I? Could I? [Verse 2] Crowned, hopeless, the article read, "living wasteland" This time you've tried all that you can, turning you red But I will not hide you through this, I want you to help [Chorus] Change my attempt, good intentions Should I? Could I? Here we are with your obsession Should I? Could I? [Bridge] Heave the silver, hollow sliver Piercing through another victim Turn and tremble, be judgmental Ignorant to all the symbols Blind the face with beauty paste Eventually, you'll one day know [Chorus] Change my attempt, good intentions Limbs tied, skin tight Self inflicted his perdition Should I? Could I? Change my attempt, good intentions Should I? Could I?
@@nicklangatang2136 foo fighters is a pretty good band . The lead singer used to be a part of nirvana. Pretty cool Hu :). You probably already know that though
Dudes, I tried so hard to find this song again after a decade. I didnt remember, so I googled "24 Years- Greenland" don't ask me how the fuck I ended up here. Lmao.Luckers.
the videos are clips from amnesty international. its a website that publishes human rights violations in an attempt to fix the problems. truly amazing.
@PeteGonzales-lr5ft if I had any advice to give you its just stay as busy as possible. Not sure how far into your journey of unoblivion you are but for me- the beginning was toughest because all of my "friends" were those that I messed around with. The loneliness and isolation was so brutal. It took forever to realize that I needed it though. Haha. Learning how to be ok in the silence, how to withstand the onslaught and monotony of the daily grind. But yeah - staying busy. Doesn't necessarily mean work yourself to death- but it does mean maybe picking up other hobbies. I went the work myself to death route and while it alone wasn't enough- it did at least give me a new circle of friends. And that made all the difference
I have depression issues. This song itself has kept me from offing myself. I've found comfort in it. Being able to feel the passion, pain, and hope in it. Beautiful song. My mom is a preacher's wife and even she likes it :P
I'm so glad my shit memory could pull off remembering this being played in my dad's car over and over again - growing up I now know the feelings he felt then.
IF more bands sang like 10 Years, world peace would finally be possible. I still live in hope for this. These lyrics speak to me in a way that few things can. I truly believe that music and poetry can change the world. Thank you 10 Years for keeping my hope alive, even in 2022. :D
This will forever be my favorite song ever written from one of the most underrated bands ever. I absolutely LOVE this song for it's powerful message and equally powerful delivery. A work of art, for sure.
@katiekat1398 It is a great song, these guys are beasts on their instruments, power chords, gotta love it, Incredible sound. If I was them I'd be damn proud of this one. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I rarely cry. I never openly express emotions. This song has brought me to tears. It's difficult for me to listen to this song. The verse "But signs were not really that scarce, obvious tears" sends me into an emotional whirlwind and the tears won't stop. I was abused and witnessed abuse for the first 18 yrs. of my life. Too many individuals knew I was being abused because they were directly abusing me or knew that other people were abusing me. No one helped me and instead ignored my abuse although they were well aware. It makes me very angry that I suffered in silence.
bless your heart. That's terrible that that happened to you. Please whatever you do, don't let it define who you are,forgive those people...BUT NEVER forget. I love you,and God loves you too!
This song has been on my playlist for a long time. What a fantastic underrated band. Reading these other comments, I'm glad others appreciate their work as much as I do.
I just saw 10 Years for the first time last night (October 14, 2018). They put on a great show and played this song. Jesse Hasek (the singer) hung around after the show and I got a chance to talk to him. He was cool as shit; very friendly and down to earth, no rock star attitude at all. I told him I love this song. He was very flattered to hear that. He smiled, said thank you, and shook my hand. Great experience!
It really comes to show to count your blessings and realize that there's others out there that have it way worse. The stories behind the people in this music video show us (unless you're in the same boat as them) that we really don't have it that bad, and if we are going through some type of trial and hardship, it won't last forever and it will eventually come to its conclusion. These people in the video have to live with these scars (physical and emotional) either for good, or for prolonged periods of time. It really is a tearjerker, and I can say that I've shed some years typing this post. Everyone stay strong and keep persevering as you have this entire time. Always find some type of silver lining in your tribulations, even if it takes a while to find it. 😢🙏🏻🎩
Met these guys and Evans Blue at an after party in Houston. I can't say enough how down to Earth both bands were. Just good guys having the times of their lives.
Alecia Ward unfortunately you all are right, this world is in chaos, and only Jesus can help us now, we need to keep our eyes on our Lord at all times, I know that I am a sinner, and do not do anything perfect in this world, but I am so waiting for the day of His return bacause I cannot wait to leave here.
Was 16 years old saw 10 years puddle of mudd and shine down on the carnival of madness tours, I couldn’t believe how great they sounded live this song has been one of my favorite sing at the top of my lungs songs in the truck ever since then 🙏
Addiction is a battlefield. I understand. I’ve always seen it as you feel so good and so numb. Then you come down. And it’s painful. But I’m glad you’re sober and here with us. ❤️❤️
Thank you! It definitely completely clouds your judgement. I don’t know what I was thinking all that time. It’s a terrible way to live, I’m lucky I’m alive tbh. I can’t say the same for a lot of my friends....
Crazy to see this now and then see how good they still are and how it fills my soul and ears with good music then and now thats forever lasting neverwears out
2022 & 35 years old and STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITES. This song will never get old 😊❤🤟 It's so crazy when I go to these songs I listened to growing up, and the words have such a COMPLETELY different meaning now. Fly high TayTay 🕊 Along with all of the other magnificent people that addiction has taken from us.
@@FordExplorerST .. Wow. I'm so sorry about your dad. 💔 I love this song even though it hurts to listen to it. Sending you love, prayers, and nothing but positive vibes. My mom's years of battling addiction caught up with her, and her health got really bad. Watching her go through 3-4 years of so much suffering, and then her passing away in 2019, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. She'd been sober for a few years, but so much damage had already been done. Addiction is definitely NOT worth the pain & suffering that comes along with it.
@@gascsoutherngirl2680 Exactly. I do not know why people even do drugs. They just take lives away... Pisses me off but I understand some people think drugs are their only escape.
I'm 49 and still listening to everyday. Lost both my close friends to suicide so everyone deals with their pain in different ways. I find myself seeking music like 💊 to help my pain. Thanks 10 Years for being there! Rock on!
because people who were born early enough to hear them thought and still think that rock is evil,even though its probably one of the most emotional and heartfelt type of music
Every day! I'd nearly forgot about these guys, antier Spotify brought them back almost a year ago on a random alternative rock playlist, en Now i'll listen to them every Day
I literally had my father tell me as a kid this song was about drug abuse and would punish me if he caught me listening to it. Kind of ironic that it has more to do with reaching out and being kind to those who are struggling or have struggled. Still speaks to me all these years later ❤
This song makes me so sad, when you watch the video and see videos of what it's like in other countries, its both heartbreaking and disgusting. We really are blessed to be in America, and this video is a good reminder to be greatful. My heart goes out to all the broken souls of the world, everyone deserves freedom
You're totally right. I hate to make this political but a lot of people who live in America don't know exactly how good they have it. Saying it's terrible. Sure, some things here may suck but atleast women here have rights to their bodies, it isn't illegal to be LGBTQ, you have freedom of speech, they don't kill female babies like China does. We really have it good here no matter how you look at it. People turn a blind eye to the crap that goes on in Russia, China, and the middle east. I'm glad to be in America
@@nitabagels6969 I hate to tell both of ya'll this but that human trafficking is happening right here in the USA. Most of it is from trafficking across the Mexican border. Horrible things. Our Politicians are trying to distance themselves from it because Like Epstein Island, there is a huge skeleton in our counties closet and the elites are trying not to make it public.
Thanks for coming back, y'all. Glad I'm not alone.
this is the kind of song you liste to when shits not going well lol
come here to feelz
You, are not alone 🫶
I'm hitting the goldmine of songs I haven't heard in so long
that roll of good ol classic songs on a youtube mix
Can't be considered classic it's not old enough yet once it's like 20 years old I think it'll be safe to be considered classic.
But I understand where you're coming from
to me,it's new'
Love when I get in that streak. Nothing like it.
This band was terribly underrated. This song is 1000% kick ass.
I just heard this song and it unlocked a memory of it I didn’t even know I had haha. I loved this era of music
I keep hearing that word. Underrated. What does the scale look like?
"WHAAAAT..IT IIIIS"?
LMAO
Wait,, DED??

Me and my son in the pick up truck together, jamming out to music from over a decade ago. It brought tears to my eyes with my son told me, “Dad, your music is awesome.” He likes music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s the most. He doesn’t listen to what his friends listen to. Not bad for an eight year-old I guess.
That's awesome
Hell yea brother that's a memory you wont forget. Hope he sticks with it man so yall can make more memories through older music
Dare i say 10 years ago?
Hell yea that's awesome. A leader not a follower!
That’s awesome!! As long as there are awesome parents like you around I’m sure great music will never die
Back in 2005 my best friend bought me this CD and I listened to it every day for months. He killed him self in 2012 and this is the 1st time since then I’ve listened to this song. I’m overwhelmed with emotions right now.
Feel ya
😢
Hope the World change and recover from getting to be a Wasteland
You have more allies than you know
Jaja friend go brr
Man this corona virus is making me throwback to some of the greatest songs of all time

yesssssss
This song is an absolute banger
Sameee

The amount of underrated amazing bands from this time period is just crazy to me still... Don't understand how there are so many great ones that didn't get as popular as others.
Best era of music in my opinion

Early 2k 2010s rock was amazing
@@arsonne Beautiful is a really great song from them as well. My two favorites.
@ NegaArson I agree pretty much. A lot of their stuff is ALMOST amazing. Like it gets so close but doesn't quite reach the zenith it should. Make sense?
One of the most underrated song of the 200's. Phenomenal. Still holds strong almost 20 years later!
good ol 200 BC!
lol jk brotha. I totally forgot about this song.....
I've hit replay like 30 times, and can't stop crying. I'm currently struggling with an opioid addiction. I'm in treatment, and I'm clean, but it is so hard. I'm so grateful to music to help me through difficult times.
You will make it!
I struggled with a nasty opioid addiction for over 20 years, and ended up in the hospital in a coma.
I have been clean for over 3 years now, and the music gets me through the rough patches ♡
It is truly a choice you make, every minute of every day! The struggle is real, but great music sure helps!!
Stick it out it’s hard but mind over matter you know
Hope you made it 2 yrs later.
I hope you made it ♥️
This song what makes me think about staying clean 12 years of addiction and I am still struggling
Such a criminally underrated band!
Without a doubt, if only they got more publicity.
So true
They would have made it bigger if they were original. There a cookie cutter hard rock 2000s band. I mean they’re pretty much a rhcp clone
Big time! Just now discovering that. I wish I would've started listening to them a long time ago.
@@FrogLickinChampion Yeah, but it's difficult to be original when everything's already been done. That said, I do really enjoy this song though.
Half way through 2022 and I'm still jamming this like the day it came out.
I was typing in ten years gone by Led Zeppelin and my brain was like oh yeah! Ten years! Wasteland!
Dam st8
Me too!!
Let ppl breath sometimes
That's the best way
am i the only one that thinks 2006 is one of the best recent years in music? cause damn that year had some dope ass songs
Holy crap yes. Three Days Grace's Never Too Late immediately comes to mind.
YESSSSSSS thats one of my favorites too
The song was actually released in 2004 on their killing all that holds you album, which they later redid in 2005 for autumn effect. 2006 is only the year it was uploaded on youtube :P
ThreshIsAPrison still good years for music
laabitres hell yea!
It's sad to watch this now and know the world has only grown far worse. Beautiful song. Haunting message.
I know.
The world hasn't really gotten any worse (at least not from my perspective), the problems have just shifted and changed in the sands of time.
Owen Kendrick
True.
the world has become better and better better to light a candle then curse the darkness
Lula Wolf you know this song reminds me of the butterfly affect movies =/
This music video is still powerful. There are people we may come across in life that may have a scar of trauma. Physically or mentally, they have managed to make it far.
"Change my attempt good intentions
Crouched over, you were not there
Living in fear, but signs were not really that scarce
Obvious tears, but I will not hide you through this
I want you to help them, please see
The bleeding heart perched on my shirt
Die, withdraw, hide in cold sweat
Quivering lips, ignore remorse
Naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I?
Crowned hopeless, the article read living wasteland
This time you've tried
All that you can turning you red, but I will not hide you through this
I want you to help
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I, could I?
Heave the silver hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually you'll one day know
Change my attempt good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self inflicted his perdition
Should I, could I?
Change my attempt good intentions
Should I, could I?"
Thank you for this! ❤️
Thank u for the lyrics
You know, in all the years of listening to this song, I don't think I ever read the lyrics.
Had a couple wrong 😂 thanks
Claiming they can't, living wasteland
This time you've tried all that you can
Turning it around*
First time I sat down to watch the video than listen to the music. What a trip. Really made me think back on my life up to this point and realize it isn't THAT bad.
i never looked at this song with this kind of meaning just thought id listen to it tonight after not hearing it in years. blew my mind
This song and video show that those of us blessed with safety, security, the basic things we take for granted are truly blessed.

Ten years ago I was a young school boy who had a big family and had watched many of them go to using heroin and other drugs due to other lose of family members and the cycle was endless until I one day broke down at school telling a teacher how my own brother and closest family had been using, two years later I myself became a user and lost many people to the drug then I truly understood the meaning of this song. about 6 and a half years later I am now watching this video to the song for the first time and I am clean. it's strange how life takes you places you never thought you'd be.. but somehow if we end up living a life we thought we never would we are wiser for it. . stay safe people, hang in and never lose hope.
For some devine reason i needed to read this for my journey is vary much the same as yours brother keep rockin on soberly💪💪✌
Hope is all we have!

Here in 2024, heard this song a few years ago immediately recognizing it, brought back the memories of me and my dad driving around the woods in our old Toyota, all sorts of hunting memories from when I was a kid.
Safe to say this will stay on playlist till I kick the can.
still get goosebumps after all these years.
How many years was it? 10?
Yes actually :D
+Camperoftehintrowebz 👍
stephanie b Well... glad you found it.
+Camperoftehintrowebz me too!!
This song is still 🔥 in 2024!
The suffering these people endured is absolutely heartbreaking
What the hell are we, as humans, doing to each other...
This is when music production was done right, man. Everything is crystal! One the most underrated drummers.
It's 2020 and yet I'm still listening to this song 😁
You not the only one my friend😀
I'm here with you ! Been listening since 2009!
Me
yes, still loving it.
Yes me too
Saw 10 years live in 06, I enjoyed it so much that i took my then 7yr old son to see them in 2011 it was his first show and a great one. He's 20 now and still tells everyone what a great experiense it was.
I enjoyed this song when It first came out I listened to it on the radio whenever it came on when my mom was driving places it always tugged on my heartstrings now I'm 27 going on 28 and this song still hits hard:) wish I could have saw them
Thank you God that you build up all of the old waste places and that you make all things new in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
This music video just hits different after you have experienced the fall of a country. This song is a masterpiece
It's sad to see shitty music that has 100's of millions of views, but good music like this barely has any..
3.7 million views for a song that's 8 years old and wasn't that great even when it came out isn't fucking bad.
Your opinion is subjective. Chill and listen to the song my friend.
what do you mean 100s of millions of views? this only has 3.9 million.....
OHHH you were saying this is one of the good songs that doesnt have enough views...
most of those plays aren't real... It's called marketing, The more people who like it the more sheep will follow.
try not to cut yourself on that edge m8
For some reason the first time I heard this I never imagined the lead singer to have dreads
same
or that beanie
so true, john wick
He usually doesnt...atleast anymore
Yep, especially on a preview.
I instantly choked up when he yelled _"I want you to help."_ with that new imaging, ngl
Like, I've loved this song ever since I was a kid - and I never really knew _why_ that was, I just knew I understood it on some deeply intimate level. That it was important to me.
For those of you who have seen the original video: I felt like the fish was me.
A lifetime later, the reasons finally make sense. I didn't know how bad off I was back then, how monstrously I was treated by not only family, but society - it's to such an extent that even if I was to explain it, most people likely wouldn't comprehend the severity of what I'm saying. It's even hard for me to, most of the time. Not because I'm unaware of what I've been through, but because I feel as though I'm not allowed to acknowledge it or what it's done to me.
And that has a lot to do with people around me and the expectations that they have about each other. It's assumed that if I look and act okay, then I have nothing to complain about. That, because it's "hard all around", that should somehow nullify that I was hurt and that I am still hurting and that healing is hard when you've been given no space to heal.
_"I will not hide you through this_
_I want you to help them, please see_
_The bleeding heart perched on my shirt"_
To me, it's about the inability to help one another. Be that the person suffering and unable to help themselves or the people watching and unwilling to see that someone needs help. _"Should I? Could I?"_ Yes, you can and yes you should.
The only ways in which I have ever been able to move forward from my traumas is with a hand in my hand. It takes more than yourself to get better. It's a rare thing for someone to truly save themself by themselves and, honestly, I think you lose something very innocent in yourself when you have to - something you can't replace. It's tragic and it shouldn't have to happen. We and the world are a wasteland because we let each other waste away - no well, no water, no life. Suffocating on this barren earth because no one will check if they have a drink to spare.
I suppose this song has always reminded me of how often it was that I felt alone. Truly, terribly alone in this world. In my worst days, I would look out my window and wish someone would see me, would save me, or at least help me save myself - but they never came. Not back then. I went through a lot more than I ever had to because no one wanted to look at the kid crying for help until it was almost too late. Every day, I feel a little more wasted away, even now.
These days, I take a great deal of solace in the people I've chosen to see, in the people I've tried to help, along the way - and watching them make it, where I didn't, is enough sometimes to keep going until the next day. But, I still remember this. This feeling, this loneliness. This song reminds me that I still wish that more people would help - because I've cared for so many crying children, and that there are still so many more tells me that there are still not enough people choosing to help.
Man u know we could make this world so much better but we r so selfish luv and peace to you my friend
Damn, 🖤
Your comment broke me 😢 I have
Lived similar experiences as you, and it's nice to know that I wasn't the only person.
It's okay to accept that you went through hell in life, it's okay to take note of how it hurt and can still hurt. That makes you human honey.
If your pain does not feel justified, that will place guilt on top of the pain. Your feelings do matter and they are important to me and everyone else with an open loving heart in this world.
Being so utterly alone, lonesome and lost in this world... You don't have to be alone in it. I know You don't know me, but if you ever want to talk I'm here for you.
Well said and you’re SO RIGHT, too!! A fellow US Veteran calls it, “3-Seconds of Waiting!” If we could ALL Wait 3-SECONDS EXTRA When You/I/WE Approach or Meet someone else.., then imagine what views & thoughts might open-up to us ALL..??? 3-SECONDS Of WAITING For More PEACE, LOVE and EMPATHY.😎🇺🇸
Wow.
Anyone watching this 11yrs later still awesome as fuck
10 years (r) for me.
haha well played angstadillio
this song has a depth and message that music today just doesnt even TRY to equal.. it's important that someone speak out for these people
Saw them live in Norfolk Va in 2006, loved them ever since
on my playlist,listen to it at least once a day,killer tune in 2021
Someone else already said it but this musical period was probably the best ever for rock and roll. 61 year old man here who loves this kickass modern rock music .
I'm right here with you my brother. I don't care how old I get, I want intensity, honesty and emotion in my rock music. I can still find it, I just need to dig a little deeper these days.
The songs intro seems really familiar with a different song but can't quite think of it
2023 and I'm here... Stronger than before. Thanks for this masterpiece, 10 Years. God bless.
2024
My older brother put me onto this song and I'm so happy he did. It was his ringtone for awhile. He passed away a few years back and boy do I miss him! I miss my entire family tbh...
God bless you man
I'm so glad my mom showed me this type of music
Obviously, mother knows best
It's always eye opening to watch a video like this, and realize when you think you've nearly lost faith in all of humanity, that you actually still deeply care about humanity, and that some people out there have it way worse than you and their perspectives on the world are probably more positive than your own.
Amen...
This song makes me feel that everything is gonna be okay even if it seems if they world is against you. Your stronger than any of your enemies and your better than to act like them. The devil will always try to make you fall to your knees but God will always be there to pick you up before you fall 🙏❤.
I suggest you check out Nine Lashes- Anthem Of The Lonely. That song also makes me feel likes there’s hope.
💖
@@1999DodgeSikSpak what hope bro? but thanks for a good song. We Came As Romans - Black Hole is also good
Went to see 10 years live for the first time, sound unheard, while they were touring TAE many moons ago. I was instantly enamored with their sound and have carried them around in my head since then. Thanks for the tunes!
I completely forgot this song existed and now I'm tripping out. crazy nostalgia
Same
Man this song use to come on at 6 am in the radio everyday, high-school flashbacks starting.
It's one of those rare bands with a rare sound that really needs to appreciated with the volume as loud as possible 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Agreed.
wym with rare sound? lmao
Shut up
@@BEEFSERPENT what
Kurt Cobain, I hate Courtney
The most underrated band of all time in my opinion, this album went mental and literally moulded my childhood
The years when there was emotion in music. The years I miss.
Too self centered nowadays to care about anything but one's own bullsh*&......
1990-2009 was the golden era of music.
@@Sweetness71775 Definitely!
Change my attempt, good intentions
[Verse 1]
Crouched over, you were not there, living in fear
But signs were not really that scarce, obvious tears
But I will not hide you through this, I want you to help them
Please see the bleeding heart perched on my shirt
Die, withdraw, hide in cold sweat, quivering lips
Ignore remorse, naming a kid, living wasteland
This time you've tried all that you can, turning you red
[Chorus]
Change my attempt, good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I? Could I?
[Verse 2]
Crowned, hopeless, the article read, "living wasteland"
This time you've tried all that you can, turning you red
But I will not hide you through this, I want you to help
[Chorus]
Change my attempt, good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Here we are with your obsession
Should I? Could I?
[Bridge]
Heave the silver, hollow sliver
Piercing through another victim
Turn and tremble, be judgmental
Ignorant to all the symbols
Blind the face with beauty paste
Eventually, you'll one day know
[Chorus]
Change my attempt, good intentions
Limbs tied, skin tight
Self inflicted his perdition
Should I? Could I?
Change my attempt, good intentions
Should I? Could I?
Thank you for posting the lyrics and taking the time to do it !06/09/19 Spokane WA !

Still life you forgot another “Should I, Could i?” At the end lil
Still life dam this song is about drug abuse
WE NEED MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS!!
It's called post-grunge. Try out highly suspect, Foo fighters, and teenage wrist
@@nicklangatang2136 foo fighters is a pretty good band . The lead singer used to be a part of nirvana. Pretty cool Hu :). You probably already know that though
Unfortunately we don't really have many more like this nowadays
Such an amazing song and voice ....yes. I am 52 in April. This group was everything to me, in my 30's.
Dudes, I tried so hard to find this song again after a decade. I didnt remember, so I googled "24 Years- Greenland" don't ask me how the fuck I ended up here. Lmao.Luckers.
At least you made it my friend :)
we always find the path just as we are meant to.
I just read this and I laughed my ass off 😂
the videos are clips from amnesty international. its a website that publishes human rights violations in an attempt to fix the problems. truly amazing.
Still listening in 2021💜 who else? Music like this will live on in our heart forever. Stay positive and stay safe everyone. God bless you all 🙏🏼
Same 2021 and forever will! 🙃🙃 these men are fantastic lyricists and all around artists!
Yes sr.. from Argentina 🔥
Bless all of us!!

god bless u. deus te abençoe.
This song helps keep me sober. Aint even lying. Got 5 years. Goosebumps everytime. From a needle in my arm to my soul back. Thats rock n roll.
5 yrs that's amazing I hope I get there
@PeteGonzales-lr5ft if I had any advice to give you its just stay as busy as possible. Not sure how far into your journey of unoblivion you are but for me- the beginning was toughest because all of my "friends" were those that I messed around with. The loneliness and isolation was so brutal. It took forever to realize that I needed it though. Haha. Learning how to be ok in the silence, how to withstand the onslaught and monotony of the daily grind. But yeah - staying busy. Doesn't necessarily mean work yourself to death- but it does mean maybe picking up other hobbies. I went the work myself to death route and while it alone wasn't enough- it did at least give me a new circle of friends. And that made all the difference
I have depression issues. This song itself has kept me from offing myself. I've found comfort in it. Being able to feel the passion, pain, and hope in it. Beautiful song. My mom is a preacher's wife and even she likes it :P
This is youtube. Facebook cares we dont.
MrDarkeed Wow.. that's kinda harsh don't ya think?
Major Danger You asked for it.
Mick D I'm sorry?
Major Danger Are you?
I'm so glad my shit memory could pull off remembering this being played in my dad's car over and over again - growing up I now know the feelings he felt then.
Arguably the best time in music was during this period.
No doubt! Late 90's to mid 2000's, the best era ever of hard rock! (no disrespect to the late 80's hairspray rock, which churned out some good stuff)
Arguably is right not much past 2000 was any good. Few songs here & there
Not arguably, it was!
The late 60s/early 70s and then the 90s would be my argument.
*1996-2005* were the *BEST* *YEARS* for music…
Beautiful voice on the lead singer. Powerful and gorgeous song. Love this.
IF more bands sang like 10 Years, world peace would finally be possible.
I still live in hope for this. These lyrics speak to me in a way that few things can. I truly believe that music and poetry can change the world. Thank you 10 Years for keeping my hope alive, even in 2022. :D
The sentiment is nice, but that is a farce, where there is good there will always be evil. cannot have light without dark.
After 2008 music has suffered a inflation in big time:(
MJ said "start with the man in the mirror"
Love this mj was right
There’s breaking Benjamin
This will forever be my favorite song ever written from one of the most underrated bands ever. I absolutely LOVE this song for it's powerful message and equally powerful delivery. A work of art, for sure.
@katiekat1398 It is a great song, these guys are beasts on their instruments, power chords, gotta love it, Incredible sound. If I was them I'd be damn proud of this one. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I rarely cry. I never openly express emotions. This song has brought me to tears. It's difficult for me to listen to this song. The verse "But signs were not really that scarce, obvious tears" sends me into an emotional whirlwind and the tears won't stop. I was abused and witnessed abuse for the first 18 yrs. of my life. Too many individuals knew I was being abused because they were directly abusing me or knew that other people were abusing me. No one helped me and instead ignored my abuse although they were well aware. It makes me very angry that I suffered in silence.
I wish you all the Best things in this world! You certainly deserve them. Never give up!
Surrender to the Lord Jesus ....then forgive ....let the healing begin ....your not alone ....if God is with us who can be against us....
Be strong ❤️
bless your heart. That's terrible that that happened to you. Please whatever you do, don't let it define who you are,forgive those people...BUT NEVER forget. I love you,and God loves you too!
i can't imagine how much you've bottled up. it takes many years to heal
This song has been on my playlist for a long time. What a fantastic underrated band. Reading these other comments, I'm glad others appreciate their work as much as I do.
This song still rocks. I love this era of music so much still.
I just saw 10 Years for the first time last night (October 14, 2018). They put on a great show and played this song. Jesse Hasek (the singer) hung around after the show and I got a chance to talk to him. He was cool as shit; very friendly and down to earth, no rock star attitude at all. I told him I love this song. He was very flattered to hear that. He smiled, said thank you, and shook my hand. Great experience!
The part where he says turn and tremble has stuck with me through all these years. This song is awesome
It really comes to show to count your blessings and realize that there's others out there that have it way worse. The stories behind the people in this music video show us (unless you're in the same boat as them) that we really don't have it that bad, and if we are going through some type of trial and hardship, it won't last forever and it will eventually come to its conclusion. These people in the video have to live with these scars (physical and emotional) either for good, or for prolonged periods of time. It really is a tearjerker, and I can say that I've shed some years typing this post. Everyone stay strong and keep persevering as you have this entire time. Always find some type of silver lining in your tribulations, even if it takes a while to find it. 😢🙏🏻🎩
Pause at 0:06 "look at me. I am the captain now"

Lmfao!
Can't believe this comment hasn't blown up!... It definitely should be the top comment!.... haha
I will never leave thee nor forsake thee!!!! Stay strong all you beautiful people ❤
This is still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard and it always will be.
Met these guys and Evans Blue at an after party in Houston. I can't say enough how down to Earth both bands were. Just good guys having the times of their lives.
I feel like this song is so fitting for all the chaos happening in our world right now.
yup
yes I agree for real
i agree, things will get worse before they get better which is the worst part
Unfortunately
Alecia Ward unfortunately you all are right, this world is in chaos, and only Jesus can help us now, we need to keep our eyes on our Lord at all times, I know that I am a sinner, and do not do anything perfect in this world, but I am so waiting for the day of His return bacause I cannot wait to leave here.
I literally got goosebumps from this song
I get them too
Everytime for me as well
One of the greatest songs ever written, regardless of genre.
Such an underrated band! Loved them then, love them now.
Tru dat Brother
Was 16 years old saw 10 years puddle of mudd and shine down on the carnival of madness tours, I couldn’t believe how great they sounded live this song has been one of my favorite sing at the top of my lungs songs in the truck ever since then 🙏
one of the best and most underrated songs of all time
Came back 10 Years later and this is one of those tracks that earn a spot on the go to playlist. Very underrated band.

Addiction is a battlefield. I understand. I’ve always seen it as you feel so good and so numb. Then you come down. And it’s painful. But I’m glad you’re sober and here with us. ❤️❤️
Thank you! It definitely completely clouds your judgement. I don’t know what I was thinking all that time. It’s a terrible way to live, I’m lucky I’m alive tbh. I can’t say the same for a lot of my friends....

2022 & 35 years old and STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITES. This song will never get old 😊❤🤟 It's so crazy when I go to these songs I listened to growing up, and the words have such a COMPLETELY different meaning now. Fly high TayTay 🕊 Along with all of the other magnificent people that addiction has taken from us.
As a 17 year old I only listen to rock. This song got me suspended since I had my card radio cranked the fuck up. I agree with ya on being a favorite.
And sorry for your loss. Addiction fucking sucks. Took my dad from me.
@@FordExplorerST .. Wow. I'm so sorry about your dad. 💔 I love this song even though it hurts to listen to it. Sending you love, prayers, and nothing but positive vibes. My mom's years of battling addiction caught up with her, and her health got really bad. Watching her go through 3-4 years of so much suffering, and then her passing away in 2019, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. She'd been sober for a few years, but so much damage had already been done. Addiction is definitely NOT worth the pain & suffering that comes along with it.
@@gascsoutherngirl2680 Exactly. I do not know why people even do drugs. They just take lives away... Pisses me off but I understand some people think drugs are their only escape.
I'm 49 and still listening to everyday. Lost both my close friends to suicide so everyone deals with their pain in different ways. I find myself seeking music like 💊 to help my pain. Thanks 10 Years for being there! Rock on!
Probably one of the deepest videos I've ever seen
Just saw them for the first time last night when they opened for Sevendust. And they still rock!!!
This whole album is a masterpiece.
why does this only have 6 million views :( these guys are amazing
I agree with you for I just started listening to them today and I am punk rock girl with body mods and tattoos and I really love there music

Good ol' 2006. What a good year. 10 years later and it has all gone to hell. :(
if "ahead of its time" was a band
I literally had my father tell me as a kid this song was about drug abuse and would punish me if he caught me listening to it. Kind of ironic that it has more to do with reaching out and being kind to those who are struggling or have struggled. Still speaks to me all these years later ❤
I'm active USN. Trust me, this evil exists. I've seen, fought, and have been almost killed by it. Find a way to help.

I last heard this song in 2006 and just now found it after all these years, unbelievable!
This song makes me so sad, when you watch the video and see videos of what it's like in other countries, its both heartbreaking and disgusting. We really are blessed to be in America, and this video is a good reminder to be greatful. My heart goes out to all the broken souls of the world, everyone deserves freedom
You're totally right. I hate to make this political but a lot of people who live in America don't know exactly how good they have it. Saying it's terrible. Sure, some things here may suck but atleast women here have rights to their bodies, it isn't illegal to be LGBTQ, you have freedom of speech, they don't kill female babies like China does. We really have it good here no matter how you look at it. People turn a blind eye to the crap that goes on in Russia, China, and the middle east. I'm glad to be in America
@@nitabagels6969 I hate to tell both of ya'll this but that human trafficking is happening right here in the USA. Most of it is from trafficking across the Mexican border. Horrible things.

country's not counties

Too true. Search Yeonmi Park, and learn about how bad it is in North Korea, from someone who experienced it first-hand.
