@@mid-s_to_earlysViBEZ Lol I definitely have not seen *anyone* wear those pants. I'm pretty damn sure they're not back lol. What really _is_ back, though, are the 90's.
Sean Danielson is such an underrated songwriter. Some argue this masterpiece is depressing and a show piece for the downtrodden. To me, it's an inspirational ballad about bettering yourself, and becoming the architect of your own destiny. Fuckin love it!
Ever wonder how hes doing now?? Man nack in the day mtv and vh1 days in middle school.. God nice to have our memories like that. Good to know people still appreciate this awesome meaningful music
Mad Pariah people only say that because depressed people tend to listen to songs like this to pick them up, so others just make a connection that ends up being the opposite of the truth.
Depends on what lens you listen to the words through without seeing the video I would never have seen this as an inspirational. The vibe says you're on a downward spiral to nothing because you can't escape what you're going to become. But then all music is manipulated by the listeners emotions, so it's whatever you want it to be.
The song is based on home life and growing up in an unstable house. His father was a controlling asshole who ruled all and his mother lived in fear of him every single day. His dad held them and put them down in life because he was falling apart. "When i have kids I wont put any chains on their wrists, I wont..Ill tell them this There is nothing in this world you cant be if you want it enough"
This song really spoke to me as a kid growing up with a rough relationship with my parents. I finally got to see them in 2024 and tickets were only $10 bucks and they played to a crowed of like 80 and it just made me sad that people literally don’t appreciate heart felt, and talented music anymore. I still rocked out though 🤟🏾
He probably forgot the actual time, I mean it's still been a long a$$ time. I forgot when the first time I heard it was haha. Plus he wasn't that far off.
I’m 34 now… I remember being a 15 year old freshman in highschool who never felt like he belonged anywhere. This is one of the few bands that kept me alive!
Man I remember being 13 in my room jamming this so loud and taking mental note of all the things my mom did and how I was going to do the complete opposite with my own children! Now I’m 33 and I am thankful to have my kids and I am nothing like my mom and I’m thankful for that every day! I broke the cycle!
I grew up with that mentality just like you did I believed that this band came as a sign, to show me that I had the mentality it takes to fix everything and make it go the better way
Man I was scrolling through comments and cought ma attention bro. you don't always need a mom and dad to be successful . You got this bro live the life u want it be.
one of the most underrated songs of the post-grunge nu metal era. I like the lyrics about not wanting to be held down by those who came before you and striving for the right to define yourself. Relatable in 2003, relatable today.
Smile Empty Soul has been my favorite band since I was 16 when I heard Bottom of a Bottle, one day I hope to make music with these guys!!!! this is my favorite track guys keep on tearing it up!!!!
2023, still one of the better bands of that Era, them and story of the year. Too bad they won't be at sick new world in May. Dude had a killer voice too.
This band has an awesome name. I'm an old school metalhead but this isn't bad. I was going through a bad break up yesterday and their name caught my eye because it perfectly described my mood.
opening lyrics describe how his mother tried to make him believe in a god, all the fables, how he doesnt want to live in fear of somethign he doesnt believe in like his mother, describes me precisely
And with out god he wouldn't be able to live a life let alone let fear rule it...Faith is not control thru fear. Fear of not going to hell? Why would you be scared to go to hell unless your doing the wrong thing? ...exactly.
Spartanking Z your god is nothign but fear, "love me or else" thats the message of the bible, his mother was always walking on eggshells in fear of the backhand of a domestic abusive deity, but thats an argument in futility, bottom line is there is no god, deal with it
I remember listening to this back in 4th grade when I first started to get into music. I was addicted to this song and it was the first ever feeling I had of being engulfed by that unspeakable feeling you get when you find a song that vibes perfectly with you. I always go back and listen every now and then to recapture that.
This song came out when I was in high school....I haven't heard it in almost 20 years. I'm in the back half of my 30's now with a young son. This hit so hard now....every day I think about how I can be a better father to him than my parents were to me. Its the most important thing in life.
rock songs always hit differently. you know, it hit somewhere inside so I stop listening to so many rock songs, emo, and even other music for about 5 years. while I was 17 - 22. I came back to listen to them about 2 years ago because I'm fine now.
So happy I got to see them live. I went with a friend to a bar in my hometown, not knowing what bands were going to be preforming. Paid twenty bucks and once inside I finally found out they were the band and I proceeded to loose my shit. Smile Empty Soul and Bridge to Grace...it's sad Bridge to Grace didn't make it to more ears.
Man. This band was way ahead of its time. They saw the bull shit and they called out the bullshit; So that you - can be able to avoid the bull shit in your own life.
After all these years, i am still here. I was once the child listening to this screaming they lyrics out alone to deal with the abuse. Years and years of hurt have turned me into the very thing this song talks about. Damn I'm broken. Thank God this is anonymous.
I used to relate to this song when I was a teenager and now I relate more with the father and mother. Not as extreme but I understand teaching boundaries to your children.
I listened to this first in 2003 on a music website (I forgot its name), and it blew my mind. I did everything to get the CD in my country and I got it a year later. It´s 2021 and still hits my head. SES is a hugely underrated band and this song is an anthem. January 2021
ahh..this takes me back to high school. "I don't wanna live like my mother. I don't wanna let fear rule my life. If I ever have kids, I won't put chains on their wrists." Now I have a three year-old and this song holds true.
I watched them from my apartment across the street on Figueroa & Sunset in LA when they filmed the night scene. They played with their backs to me so they could get the lights of LA in the video. First time I heard this song and I was mesmerized. They played it over and over and over.
the best band! most underrated artist. I heard them when I was 16 years old. I am now 24 years old, and they are my favorite band! They hurt the strings of my heart! Treat me.
thank you smile empty soul, i have been through alot of fucked up shit the past year (sexual abuse, suicide, self harm etc) and your music has numbed alot of my pain,thank you..
For those who thumbed down I have to say this, the music you listen to should mean something to you, it's personal like your life, if this isn't your kind of music fine, but for people like me music is the only thing in life. This kind of music hits me deep because I can relate to it. The music you listen to should do the same. That's all.
Not just with music cause that's what all aspects of life should be to inspire and in rich our 👥🏡FAMILY, our, 🏠neighbors, our 🌇community, our 🇺🇸COUNTRY, and the 🌎world ALL LIFE. MATTERS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽💯💯💯💯
We loved seeing them in concert then in April this year 2 weeks after we saw them my husband suffered a massive stroke this is the last song he ever heard that he remembered ! We also got pics with them too they were so nice wish we could see them again
this song motivated me to be the man I am today. coming from a broken household an abusive brother, no moral support or guidance. constantly called a fuck up by family and teachers. now I have children of my own, work 2 jobs making close to $65000 a year, working on starting my own business, have my own house and I can honestly say it is thanks to this song.
Smile Empty Soul was the first show I ever went to. It was a small gig in Memphis, Tn about 15 years ago. I remember thinking I could reach out and touch them, we were so close. And after they finished, they left a black pick on the stage area and I grabbed it and still have it to this day. I’ve missed listening to them. 🖤🩸
"Friends don't let friends listen to Smile Empty Soul." I was told. Maybe you should check in on those friends. That said I was a recipient of the aforementioned quote several times 🤘🤘🤘
One of them tunes that you forget exists, and then you hear it and end up covered in goosebumps. Because it just touches your soul in that special type of way.
Chelsey Vietti,how in the shitty world 💩💩💩 would you forget about a song so SOUL GRIPPING ? You were probably caught up in some kind of goo goo eyed boy drama ah hah 🤔 I wonder...
Gary Henderson introduced me to this song ... Says a lot in hindsight of what HE thinks of his mother & father... Smh ... He doesn't want to be like his father .. Idk I never met him but once & he was nice ... However I DO want to be like my father ... MY HERO .. AND I AM SOOOO MUCH LIKE HIM!! Thank you, daddy!!
Saw them in 2003 at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach and finally again last night in Savannah, almost 21 years later. Sean's voice is as haunting as ever, sings from the soul.
Saw these guys in concert the other night and they were phenomenal. One of few bands that sound just as good, if not better, live and the only concert I've ever genuinely enjoyed. I *highly* recommend seeing them in person!
never found a song describing me so much before ;-; when I heard him say "I don't wanna live like my mother.." I started sobbing ;-; until the song was over ;-; Then I hit replay
"Silhouettes" silhouettes above the cradle hold me down they won't let me go the wrong way my mother taught me all the fables, told me how in the end all the sinners have to pay but... [Chorus:] i don't wanna live like my mother i don't wanna let fear rule my life and i don't wanna live like my father i don't wanna give up before i die he worked so hard his bones are breaking he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how i don't ever want to end up like he did and... [Chorus] when i have kids i won't put any chains on their wrists, i won't i'll tell them this there's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough [Chorus x2]
Jacobe Wells Someone's never seen pineapple express apparently. Besides the fucking point I was not talking to you. SO please sit down, have a cookie and shut the fuck up bitch.
Listened to this when I was a kid in High School. Here I am 36 years old and I didn’t amount to shit 😂. I lived like my father and mother. Coincidentally, I’m raising a pretty brilliant kid.
What to say about "Smile Empty Soul"... I've been listening since I was 12 & i instantly fell in love.. I'm going to be 30 in May... And I'm still ROCKIN' this sh*t in 2021 with both my kids (4&9) right next to me! Smile Empty Soul is one big reason why I'm still here. Thank you guys for being so fucking awesome!! 🤜🤛👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Rock on and keep em' coming! I'm a fan for life!
we need music like this now , todays music lost it touch , i miss the gold days , i remember listening to this in high - school during my senior year how many memories i wish i can travel back in time
This was a criminally underrated band.
*Is a criminally underrated band - they still continue!
@@eugeneneethling6430 Kinda. I saw them in December 2019 and they had a touring drummer. He was super good though, sounded exactly like he does on Spotify.
They are still on tour seeing them sat in Sanford Florida
They only had a couple good songs! That's being generous too.
@@justpalms9978 hey man just go back to cardi b
Hits harder now that we're older.
Fuck yes it does
Now that I have a family and kids, yeah, yeah it does.
Especially since it just makes us remember what we survived, makes me want to do everything I can to make sure my kids don't have childhood
This is 💯 true currently ❤
I, thought it was hitting hard when it first came out... But it is still very fitting and hard hitting even now!!
The song... the words... those pants... such good memories of those times... I miss it!
Im going to dress like this and idc what the emo tight pants help you skake bull crap
Im going buy jencos and wear my chains screw the way the world wants us to dress
Chris Walker tf you about to buy jncos from? Goodwill?
KeL iLL eBay? Poshmark? And those are just for used ones...They’re back just in case you didn’t know...
@@mid-s_to_earlysViBEZ Lol I definitely have not seen *anyone* wear those pants. I'm pretty damn sure they're not back lol. What really _is_ back, though, are the 90's.

It is fckn tru😢
Most underrated band ever!!!! I miss the early 2000's
Me too
krazyhippy me 3
krazyhippy me 4
krazyhippy late 90's early 2000's had some of the best rock, There isn't even Rock really anymore..
If I could go back to this time and choose a different path...and savor it!
2020 anyone? When I first heard this I was 12. His voice is still amazing today. Huge fan here.
June 2020 😁
I saw them in concert back at Rock This 2002, in Springfield, MO. One of the most memorable concerts of my teenage years!
Always liked this band
Ever wonder how hes doing now?? Man nack in the day mtv and vh1 days in middle school.. God nice to have our memories like that. Good to know people still appreciate this awesome meaningful music
July 2020😅👍
Someone told me this was a depressing song but I think it's just inspirational as hell!
It is inspirational, to me, it's basically saying don't let anything hold you down, dont be chained and pursue your dreams, be an example
I have this in my "depressed" playlist because like the other listed songs, pick me up.

I'm 36 now turning 37 in a couple months. This band brings back so many emotions. Feel like it was just yesterday!
This comment is perfect timing. Now a year later and I am 36, turning 37 in a few months. Back listening to this song.
Same I turn 37 October
I’m 63 and I’m surprised that these guys didn’t get more play- they have powerful sound good lyrics 👍
What did U mean by didnt get more play? They have more than 10 albums
I saw them at a festival in Oklahoma back in 03-04 when I was 14 years old, the grounds were packed! It was pretty badass.
idk lol the lyrics are kinda on the nose
I'm 64 and I've always loved these guys..... outstanding !!!
Моё почтение вашему возрасту и музыкальному вкусу! 🤝
This was one of the firsts CDs I bought as a kid with bday money. I'm 33 now still bumpin
Hell yeah 🤘🤘
God that last chorus always sends chills down my spine
You can feel the emotion he conveys
So true its so great man, omgggggg his voice ❤️❤️🔥🔥
This song really spoke to me as a kid growing up with a rough relationship with my parents. I finally got to see them in 2024 and tickets were only $10 bucks and they played to a crowed of like 80 and it just made me sad that people literally don’t appreciate heart felt, and talented music anymore.

Saw them last month felt the same way .Incredibly underrated band
i love seeing all of the other mid 30s folks coming back to this. My people.
listen this song when i was 12 yrs old.. now i'm 25 yrs old.. still a good song for me..
Amen to that, my brother just reminded me of the band, and it all came back,
It has not been 13 years, I believe this came out in 2004
Are you freaking dumb?
He probably forgot the actual time, I mean it's still been a long a$$ time. I forgot when the first time I heard it was haha. Plus he wasn't that far off.
Banana High Omg Same thing.
Good fucking times, man. over 10 years later and this song is still gold
Bro
Fuck yes
In 20 years it will still rock my friend. Smile Empty Soul Rocks!
anthem of my year
Im old af too...its pretty lit.
I'm 30 now and still get chills jamming out to this one
35 here, that opening takes me back
27 still listening since 2009
I’m 34 now… I remember being a 15 year old freshman in highschool who never felt like he belonged anywhere. This is one of the few bands that kept me alive!
33. I remember seeing and hearing it for the first time on Fuse way back when.
Still a favorite song here.
32. This song never gets old.
Man I remember being 13 in my room jamming this so loud and taking mental note of all the things my mom did and how I was going to do the complete opposite with my own children! Now I’m 33 and I am thankful to have my kids and I am nothing like my mom and I’m thankful for that every day! I broke the cycle!
I hear ya my mom is the most toxic bitch ever 😢
I grew up with that mentality just like you did
I believed that this band came as a sign, to show me that I had the mentality it takes to fix everything and make it go the better way
haven't seen my mother in 13 years, and my father has been in state prison for 16years... and im 25.. This is the song to my life.
Still survived. Not saying you dont need them, but you dont need FEAR ruling your life :D
:(
Man I was scrolling through comments and cought ma attention bro. you don't always need a mom and dad to be successful . You got this bro live the life u want it be.
My mom has been in prison for 6 years and I've never met my father I'm 28 . This song still hits home. And it always will.
Did you get to see them yet?
one of the most underrated songs of the post-grunge nu metal era. I like the lyrics about not wanting to be held down by those who came before you and striving for the right to define yourself. Relatable in 2003, relatable today.
Im here 11 /13/ 24 still rockin
Here in 2024, breaking generational curses while raising a family of my own 🙌🏼
Amen! That’s tough to do. Take it from the breaker of chains of One Hell of a generational curse
Breaking generational curses is why I identify with this song so much
It’s starts with you.
🎉
Seeing them in 2024 raising a daughter change of generation for sure eye opening our youth was the best
Love everything about this song
Guitar sound n the whole vibe
Can't believe I discovered it only today
Smile Empty Soul has been my favorite band since I was 16 when I heard Bottom of a Bottle, one day I hope to make music with these guys!!!! this is my favorite track guys keep on tearing it up!!!!
So, did you do it?
I sat in with smile empty soul in 2002 with the original lineup we did a cover of Radiohead’s Creep
Memory unlock, i was a teenager during this, time getting quicker is hitting me
Classic '00s, post grunge & alt. rock metal decade. Remember the golden times
The memories of a better time in this world.
I can relate to this way too much, I'm almost crying, fck..... 😢😢😢
2023, still one of the better bands of that Era, them and story of the year. Too bad they won't be at sick new world in May. Dude had a killer voice too.
This band has an awesome name. I'm an old school metalhead but this isn't bad. I was going through a bad break up yesterday and their name caught my eye because it perfectly described my mood.
Anyone here in 2024?
The acoustic version is awesome too!
Still here
👍
Here
👋
I'm not even joking here, if I had a top 10 favorite songs list, this song is on the list.
I love this song.
Mine too! I got to know the guy that wrote it! Haunts me. He’s pretty special. Thanks Derek Gledhill!
Is tubthumping on that list
opening lyrics describe how his mother tried to make him believe in a god, all the fables, how he doesnt want to live in fear of somethign he doesnt believe in like his mother, describes me precisely
you can take it that way...or you can realize thru god there is nothing to fear.
And with out god he wouldn't be able to live a life let alone let fear rule it...Faith is not control thru fear. Fear of not going to hell? Why would you be scared to go to hell unless your doing the wrong thing? ...exactly.
Spartanking Z your god is nothign but fear, "love me or else" thats the message of the bible, his mother was always walking on eggshells in fear of the backhand of a domestic abusive deity, but thats an argument in futility, bottom line is there is no god, deal with it
Spartanking Z but no human can keep from sining we have to but I'm an atheist so... I can't really talk
love me or else? do we not have free will?
Underrated band still jamming in 2023
Wow. Throwback from some rough days in my life... this song saved me.
I remember listening to this back in 4th grade when I first started to get into music. I was addicted to this song and it was the first ever feeling I had of being engulfed by that unspeakable feeling you get when you find a song that vibes perfectly with you. I always go back and listen every now and then to recapture that.
+Matt Ryan#24 I was 17 when it came out, and it gave me the same feeling, and well here I am 10 years later....
ino they dont make music like this anymore. feels like a lifetime ago this came out ya know
It was on demand !! Lol
This song came out when I was in high school....I haven't heard it in almost 20 years. I'm in the back half of my 30's now with a young son. This hit so hard now....every day I think about how I can be a better father to him than my parents were to me. Its the most important thing in life.
Ah the optimistic ignorance of youth. You have a lot to learn young man and don't worry time will teach it to you.
Scary how accurate these lyrics are.
Ikr
rock songs always hit differently. you know, it hit somewhere inside so I stop listening to so many rock songs, emo, and even other music for about 5 years. while I was 17 - 22. I came back to listen to them about 2 years ago because I'm fine now.

Paid twenty bucks and once inside I finally found out they were the band and I proceeded to loose my shit. Smile Empty Soul and Bridge to Grace...it's sad Bridge to Grace didn't make it to more ears.
My parents were getting divorced 2002/2003 these guys. Man.... They helped me through some tough times....
Man. This band was way ahead of its time. They saw the bull shit and they called out the bullshit; So that you - can be able to avoid the bull shit in your own life.
I DON'T WANNA LET FEAR RULE MY LIFE
You need to fear covid. Lol
I feel that line way too much 😢😢
Swear to God this is one UNDERRATED band.. Love these guys
True man
I don't wanna let fear to rule my life!!!
This song deserves so much more recognition, and respect. It’s unbelievably relatable and real.
After all these years, i am still here. I was once the child listening to this screaming they lyrics out alone to deal with the abuse. Years and years of hurt have turned me into the very thing this song talks about. Damn I'm broken. Thank God this is anonymous.
DAMN MAN, THOSE EARLY 2000 FEELS!
Yes Ikr soooooo good :)
Saw them with Trapt and Finger 11 back in 04' in middle school. This song is still awesome.
These old songs are so good!
Yea they are. I remember seeing these guys live in 2003/2004.
They are still fantastic to see in 2014 :) Just as fantastic as back in the day.
Wanna comeback anymore this genre??.. the answear is Imposible..
SO TRUE
THEY AREN"T OLD
I used to relate to this song when I was a teenager and now I relate more with the father and mother. Not as extreme but I understand teaching boundaries to your children.
I listened to this first in 2003 on a music website (I forgot its name), and it blew my mind. I did everything to get the CD in my country and I got it a year later. It´s 2021 and still hits my head.

ahh..this takes me back to high school. "I don't wanna live like my mother. I don't wanna let fear rule my life. If I ever have kids, I won't put chains on their wrists." Now I have a three year-old and this song holds true.
I seen them live years ago in the smallest place ever and they rocked my socks off!! I'd be more than happy to re-live that moment
I saw them at a place called stubbs bbq...amazing show
Gonna see them in Knoxville (where I live)
They are back on tour! They're playing in East Texas tonight
My fav song from them, resonates so much. Such a slept on band.
That's true....
This song always meant so much too me
For me too🖤🥺
I watched them from my apartment across the street on Figueroa & Sunset in LA when they filmed the night scene. They played with their backs to me so they could get the lights of LA in the video. First time I heard this song and I was mesmerized. They played it over and over and over.
Honestly I listen to this song every day. It just really hits close to home I guess. I love it.
Me too man
I saw these guys in concert years ago and they were amazing. They're really nice dudes, too.
hi can we talk?
So did I F'n Awesome! Come Back!!
the best band! most underrated artist. I heard them when I was 16 years old. I am now 24 years old, and they are my favorite band! They hurt the strings of my heart! Treat me.
I just realized after almost 20yrs this song is hard rock of prince when doves cry
thank you smile empty soul, i have been through alot of fucked up shit the past year (sexual abuse, suicide, self harm etc) and your music has numbed alot of my pain,thank you..
Sending you love, strength and good vibes 🫶🏾✨

i love the sound of a clean guitar
i love the sound of a dirty guitar
I like the sound of my penis in tight wet vaginas
Propane and propane accessories bruh
There is definitely some chorus on the guitar not clean
2022? Still listening to this. This song just hits a note that I just can't forget. So close to home.
One of them tunes that you forget exists, and then you hear it and end up covered in goosebumps. Because it just touches your soul in that special type of way.
Chelsey Vietti,how in
the shitty world 💩💩💩
would you forget about a
song so SOUL GRIPPING ?
You were probably caught up
in some kind of goo goo eyed
boy drama ah hah 🤔 I wonder...
Used to be my fav song in the year 2006.. I hope he told his kids that "There's nothing in this world that you can't be".
miles sings from the bottom of his heart, this kid was given more then Miles was.
I didn't know that the perfect song to describe me existed. But here it is.
Aww
You and me both!
Miss this era
Me too man, me too 😢😢
It's cool when you can dance or head bang to a song, but it great when you can relate to one like this one
I love your picture 🖤
I love your picture.
Are you implying that you can’t head bang to this song?

never found a song describing me so much before ;-; when I heard him say "I don't wanna live like my mother.." I started sobbing ;-; until the song was over ;-;
Then I hit replay
this band, this song, completely overlooked in the alternative music world for how great these kids are.
People on talking about all this was stuff. Go out and see a show they're still playing they ain't dead ya know. Support em
"Silhouettes"
silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
they won't let me go the wrong way
my mother taught me all the fables, told me how
in the end all the sinners have to pay
but...
[Chorus:]
i don't wanna live like my mother
i don't wanna let fear rule my life
and i don't wanna live like my father
i don't wanna give up before i die
he worked so hard his bones are breaking
he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
i don't ever want to end up like he did
and...
[Chorus]
when i have kids
i won't put any chains on their wrists, i won't
i'll tell them this
there's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough
[Chorus x2]
Good music.. back when music AND style was awesome! I miss baggy jeans....
kornfreak78 I don't miss baggy jeans cause that's all I wear. Fuck skinny jeans!
Jacobe Wells Someone's never seen pineapple express apparently. Besides the fucking point I was not talking to you. SO please sit down, have a cookie and shut the fuck up bitch.
+The best is yet to come fantastic comeback. i will be using that in the near future. YOU sir. deserve a cookie.
The best is yet to come I have never had to shit down before. Think I'll give it try.
***** So you shit up?
2022 and i am 48 and miss this kind of music and bands like this!!!!!!!
I saw this show live in concert. Good times with my little sister. Miss her.
It's a smile empty soul kind of day . Bottom of the bottle may come a little early may have to flawlessly medicate..
still gonna be diggin this in 2023
Welcome to 2021, you are 2 years out
2021 and this song is still a banger :)
totally digging it in 2023 still
The best part of this song is when he breaks into the “when I have kids” , the whole song rocks , but I love that part 🐞
Saw these guys back in March. Excellent show!
2022 and I’ve been listening to this since it dropped
Listened to this when I was a kid in High School. Here I am 36 years old and I didn’t amount to shit 😂. I lived like my father and mother. Coincidentally, I’m raising a pretty brilliant kid.
I've literally been searching for this song for years lol. Thank God I finally found it before I went LITERAL MAD.
One of the coolest songs to play on the guitar! Love this song
Thanks to the talented homeless guy that brought me here
What to say about "Smile Empty Soul"... I've been listening since I was 12 & i instantly fell in love.. I'm going to be 30 in May... And I'm still ROCKIN' this sh*t in 2021 with both my kids (4&9) right next to me! Smile Empty Soul is one big reason why I'm still here. Thank you guys for being so fucking awesome!! 🤜🤛👏👏🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Rock on and keep em' coming! I'm a fan for life!
I'm 49. My kids are grown. They grew up on this kinda music. Rock!!!
Still rocking in my soul.
Always will
I miss these days
See these guys live in 2 weeks so excited!
Thank you SES for good memories when I was young
One of my favorite albums of all time. Still have my original CD!
Those jeans. Bring em back
Its back in 2024

this is totally the most awesome underground music ever. they should have been more popular than they were.
we need music like this now , todays music lost it touch , i miss the gold days , i remember listening to this in high - school during my senior year how many memories i wish i can travel back in time
