Special thanks to Synergy Amps
They understood me when I was an angry teenager, they understand me as an adult with severe depression.
This shit right here bro
Stay strong!
I'm right there with ya
They saved (us) then, they’ll keep (us) going now.
Same
I really like how the idea of "I can scream but it won't help" runs throughout the song. You expect the rough vocals, but they are kept in the background. It brings over so much supressed frustration and it's giving me chills.
I love this explanation! Incredible.
I have depression, but I always wake up and say "I survive because the fire inside me burns brighter than the fire around me" you guys are not alone.
While this is my favorite song off the album, I’m SO GLAD this isn’t the entire direction they went. New album blew me away.
thanks man- good stuff
SAME!!
100% agreed
I thought this album was a huge step up from their last one. I wasn't a fan of Transit Blues, so I went into this one cautiously optimistic, but I was blown away right from the opening track
Justin Moore Boy I totally love this song too!!! It got me thinking these guys are wonderfully versatile.
As someone who suffers from immense depression and anxiety; this song really understands what it’s all about. I hope anyone out there who reads this knows that they are not alone and that there are people who love you. Hang on, you’re almost out of the water.
My man as much as I wanna believe you I highly doubt thats true for me
@@dylan6996 its only chemical. We give power to things/void and it ends up consuming us. Don't give in!
@@dylan6996 Its true for all of us brother. It's only chemical.
@@brandonthornsbury3672 What if I told you that for some people, it's only logical that they're having an overdose of this chemical. For them, taking meds to suppress it is only lying about the real circumstances. I know there are tons of people that have those circumstances, some of them seemingly still seeing the bright side of things (and idk how but I'm also not in their shoes), and others seemingly don't and they're just existing and not living, and I think the only reason those people are holding on is that they don't want to be an even bigger burden to close people (assuming they have any), if they off'd themselves.
So it's not only a chemical for many people, and the song actually doesn't necessarily disagree. They could be just saying that to themselves to make it seem better when in reality there are tons of reasons that justify having the chemical. Not to take anything away from the experience people have who are suffering even though everything else seems to be fine for them.
I can 100% relate.
Kratos is such a good drummer
Giuseppe Capolupo (:
Guiseppe is drummer. He was in Once Nothing and Haste the Day.
Good new drummer ive always loved TDWP since their original bandmates were still around
lol
BOY
The Depression Wears Prada.
hahaaha true hey
Good job
auhauhauha yes yes very true ^^
We want our dogs with beards all over once again!
Hahahaha true
"I want..to scream, but it won't help..I've created my own hell."
Not gonna lie. I lowkey breakdown every time this song comes on just because of how much I resonate with it..
Heavily addicted to prescription opioids, that line breaks me every time i hear it. I did this to myself, there's no one to blame but myself but that doesn't make the suffering any easier.
Same man 💜
@@daltonevans3412 You okay these days man?
@@daltonevans3412 We all gotta stay strong, brother. We can still make something of the future. 💯
@@daftbenson Such a hard hitting song. TDWP has always been one of my favorite bands, because of songs like these.
It’s a shame this song or album doesn’t get the respect it deserves. I’ve been a fan of this band for a long time.
"I find comfort when they say you can't sit and count the days until it ends. There's still times I wanna break everything I've ever made." Deep lyrics and delivered perfectly.
Can you explain your interpretation please
@O A I interpret it from a lived experience. Depression can make you think about death or your own death a lot. So it can be comforting when those who try to encourage you or try to make you see past your mistakes/regret reach out from a different perspective. The part where he says, "There's still times I want to break everything I've ever made" implies that even though we get better with counseling/medication, we still have our moments when we just get low and hate ourselves or deal with shame. You hit a point mentally speaking where you don't care about any accomplishment you've done, all you can think about is what you aren't. You don't care about yourself, so you don't care about anything you've ever created. I'm sure I butchered it, but that's how I relate/interpret the lyrics.
@@cadebrown2092 Thank you for your explanation
Jeremy's voice is on point as usual. And I love Mike's gentle screams here lol
@Manny Blackstar Yes big fan of Prada! Keep watching our videos. New ones coming soon!
i find it super funny that a completely unrelated popular channel is in the comments of so many metal videos. i see y'all everywhere
@@skipdiner9972 I mean....we like metal 🤘
@@IPRAstrong hell yeah
Plagues and roots dropped for this mainstream rubbish....
This song got me through my addiction and gave me hope when all I knew was the dark. I'm going on three years clean. Thankyou TDWP 🖤
👌👊🤘 fuck addiction. It's not fun! 100% beatable though!
Stay strong man. I am really glad you made it through. I am helping my brother through a similar crisis now. It hurts.
The new record is a game changer. Love this video boys. Now make one for Numb next
or Please say no.
Radio rock is a game changer? 🤔
@@Joose better than trying to sell you the same record over and over again. This record fits amazingly in their catalogue.
Not fucked with these since there 2nd album thought they got abit same old same old. Really digging this album tho
@@CrizgearMusic this
Never thought I'd ever be loving a tdwp album this much again
brad wadsworth same dude, I’m so happy
i don;t like TDWP usually, this album is ok, this song and please say no are amazing
Right!
But here we are
same, and now im here listening this 100times a day
[Verse 1]
Waking up to no meaning, I stare at the ceiling
Count the imperfections that surround my being
Can tell how I'm feeling
And it hurts more when you ask
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from the start
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from
[Chorus]
Back when I couldn't move, was frozen
I told myself it's all good
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical
[Verse 2]
I'm too shy to speak up
Guess I have my reasons for telling little lies
About those around me and what I could be
It's eating me alive
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from the start
There's a hole in my head and heart
But I'm a long way from
[Chorus]
Back when I couldn't move, was frozen
I told myself it's all good
It's only chemical (It's only chemical, it's only chemical)
I want to scream, but it won't help
I've created my own hell
And It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical
[Pre-Chorus]
I find comfort when they say you can't
Sit and count the days until it ends
There's still times I want to break everything I've ever made
But I've come a long way from
I've come a long way from
[Chorus]
Back when I couldn't move, was frozen
I told myself it's all good
It's only chemical (It's only chemical, it's only chemical)
I want to scream but it won't help
I've created my own hell
And it's only chemical
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
It's only chemical (Oh-woah)
Thank you. 🙂
@@oshikiri999 you're welcome
In the first verse, "Can tell how I'm feeling"
I think it's "Can't tell how I'm feeling"
it makes more sense to me :X
The first verse is so accurate that it hurts.
These lyrics comments are always the first ones I look for, even when I know the song, just like to read along
Blows my mind hearing the negative feedback on the new album. I think its some of your best work and the most mature songwriting we’ve heard
Nate Korczyk you’re so right, especially about the songwriting! very mature and well rounded. It’s a complete record and their most cohesive
People complain about music, not songwriting.
It's just sad, they like 90% other heavy bands become soft, pop punk band
Songwriting is 10/10
@@kubson6196 So you've never listened to pop punk then
They just haven't listened to this perfect jam. It's so good.
Such a haunting tune. For me, it describes perfectly dealing with depression and addiction. Waking up each day to a meaningless life just to repeat the same things over and over and feel like shit every day. I love that more artists are talking about this in their music. I listen to a lot of metalcore and similar stuff, and when I hear my idols singing about going through the same stuff, it's comforting in a weird way.
This..exactly
J A: I'm in the same boat. Can you recommend any other songs like this or about addiction and depression?
@@John.Skelton Drown by BMTH, Avalanche by BMTH, 1x1 by BMTH, Hospital for Souls by BMTH. BMTH has tons of songs with this theme.
Its comforting because it lets you know that you aren't alone. No one is alone. That's what helps with my own problems that I have. I'm not diagnosed or anything, but I know that there is something. Yet, I know that I am no alone, and it helps because it lets me know that if others have gotten past this, then so can I. I tell myself everyday "Don't, Stop, Moving" even if it hurts to say cause I know that one day everything is going to be ok and that the sad days never cover up the great ones.
Love the camera work in this video! Song is amazing as well.
I KNOOOOWWWWW So so so sick
Trying to make myself start learning filming and videos like this just motivate me more to do it and fail till I get it!!
The reason The Devil Wears Prada has always been my favorite band since I was 14 (now 25) is because every album is different but not to the point of being unrecognizable. They adapt and it’s so good!
Same I feel like I grown up with these guys and there songs have always helped get though life TDWP for life.
Not may favorite band but one of them. And yeah 14 to 25 is the same for me 😆
Mike has those mid highs that are so unique. He may sound warm out now but as some one that mimics his screams I can say that they are talented whether the album
Such a beautiful song. When I first heard it, it was live at a show. I wanted to cry because I knew exactly what they were talking about, it’s exactly how I used to be. If you are suffering from depression, please know you are not alone. You are loved. If nobody has told you today, you are appreciated, and your existence in this world means more than you know, one day you will see that. Much love.❤
The camera work between 2:20 to 2:35 is why this music video remains one of my favorites
*Me vs My depression*
*The Devil Wears Prade has joined the game*
🙋🏻♂️
I love the direction this record has taken. From a song writing stance it's perfection. The record has substance and in this day and age/and genre that is hard to find.
I also feel that the percussion has gotten alot more attention. You can feel each smack of the sticks in your heart. What this record screams is passion. Passion for music and a passion to connect with there fans on an emotional level.
totally agree man, it sounds like a classic
They have evolved every single album, they are perfection for adapting to change. Changing sound to what it needs to be to portray the lyrics, not just the sound. Love love LOVE tdwp.
TDWP: Can we film some stick flips?
Director: Sure, how many?
TDWP: Every. Single. One. Mate.
Joey has been a beast even going back to his days in Once Nothing
Not the TDWP I saw many years ago with Alesana & A Day To Remember... but I love the new album.
Just saw them last night. Still the same TDWP live band they have always been. Blown away how brutal of a show they still put on. They played this and many other songs from the new album but with plenty of breakdowns
i like nothing but Chemical
It's still them, evolution and progress, they don't sound the same but they continue being the band we all love
@@LuisLara-fn1hj Thats exciting cant wait to see them and gideon!
Definitely not the same I seen and heard live MANY years ago with Saosin and Alesana but still liking it 😁
I’ve followed this band since the very very beginning. Crazy progression. Have yet to put something out I didn’t like. This is so awesome.
I love this album!!! Come to Brazil, please!
Que venha logo não posso nem pensar em perder um show desse.
👏🙏
How come no one goes to Brazil? I’m American, and I see Brazilians (and people from other countries, but mostly Brazil) online *a lot* begging the artist to come.
acho q n vem pro br, n existe mt fans de DWP aqui :/ vai acontecer igual architects quando veio pra ka
Infelizmente não tem publico o bastante para dar lucro quando eles vierem num show solo, é muito arriscado financeiramente para um produtor musical traze-los. A chance deles virem é em algum festival, porém poucos são os festivais BR que trazem bandas internacionais "underground". Tipo, Rock In Rio nunca contrataria eles. Talvez um Lollapalooza ou um SWU/Monster Of Rock, poderia trazer para tocar num palco secundário, mas mesmo assim seria difícil.
A couple of things.
1. I get huge Biffy Clyro vibes on this song always.
2. I honestly thought this was the direction they were going, and I wasn't even that upset. Then I listen to the album and holy fuck it was the heaviest hardest shit they put in a while.
3. Album is brilliant.
Dude!!! I completely forgot about Many of Horror....dang cannot thank you enough. Wow this used to be my jam. Biffy C, is amazing
MON THE BIFFY!
listening to this song, relating a lot about depression and the fact that im sober from 8 years, the darkness never go away and theres still time i wanna destroy the life i made..... and wondering why devils wear prada dont do more song like this, they have something powerfull to say to so many person out there. love this song guys, help me a lot to remember where i was and where i am, it help me to dont fall again.
Same- since getting sober, this song defines the feeling
I always come back to this song whenever my mind get's unbearable and all the intrusive thoughts start to do their tricks. When this song first came out I was contemplating s*icide believe it or not this song helped me to go through all of it. I'm not sane yet and I can't sing to this without crying. But I know there's a spot in the internet where I can feel like I'm not a weirdo or a burden to those around me. Thank you guys, you were in y teenage years and now you're in my adult life. Thank you for your lyrics that made me feel less lonely. I know I can fight this as you said "I'm a long way from the start".
Holy shit, this compared to Roots Above is like a complete 180 in styling, yet im finding myself still loving it almost equally. Honestly couldnt name another band that could pull off a transition like tdwp just did
They just keep getting better, TDWP have evolved into a charizard
This song throws me into a very bitter sweet kinda melodramatic trance. I love it because it literally reminds me of the feelings of being deep into depression but having that one part of you still fighting to keep your head above water.
This song deserves so much more acknowledgement.
I think this is by far their best song.
I've been listing to TDWP since album #1, and while I love the heavy stuff this song has honestly become my favorite one they've ever done.
The lyrics are so potent and I relate too much, especially in the season I'm at in my life atm.
Amazing they're still able to still change up their style yet still be legendary, this many years later. Not many bands can do that.
Wow they've grown. I didn't hear their song since "hey John, what's my name again?".
This is my favorite song off the album! I can't wait for all 4 of my vinyl variants to arrive! See you guys in Dallas on 10/30! VIP!!!
Addicted to this song right now.
I saw these guys play in Charlotte NC last night. It was the first time I’ve listened to this band since 2012 and it was the first time I heard this song and it has drawn me right back to them.
Thank you so much prada. I'm in the most lonley state so far in life and this song helps so much.
I cant even explain how much i love this band, its like every song they made, was was made exactly just for me.
I think that when you feel this for a band, youre on the rigth way.
Glad to hear Jeremy singing 👍
My favorite song of this record. Slow and yet meaningful. Great song.
2:23 just hits home so hard. Thank you TDWP.
OMG I JUST LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS VIDEO!! TOP QUALITY!!! TDWP ARE STILL IN THE GAME!!!
The best video in the story of the TDWP. The new concept is great!
This is just too real man. It brings back a pain, but the music is real. It's more than soundwaves...
The drummer tossing his sticks up in the air just makes this video even more wonderful
Haven't followed up with these guys since Dead Throne.... Woah.
Good song gentlemen!
Thanks guys, for making great music. Love The Act so much. I wish u guys can come to Malaysia someday.
Super dope album from start to finish. Not many albums can keep my attention that long.
I have been waiting for this !!! YES! Cannot wait to see you in December ♥
I've started to take medications for anxio-depression a year ago. This song hurt right in the feels, so beautifull.
Hoping you're doing well
I was pleasantly surprised with this album. I expected not to like it but damn, I like it more than Transit Blues.
The camerawork in this music video is INSANE. Love the sound of this song, the visuals, underlying meaning, everything. Just discovered this in Jan 2022. What a great start to the year!
With Roots Above And Branches Below is still my favorite album. Miss that sound
Holy shit...all my favorite childhood bands are dropping absolute BANGERS lately!! Thank you so much for what you do.
These guys have went really progressive and grown tremendously as musicians. I loved the old devil wears Prada but as someone who is getting older and not as hardcore this new stuff is great. Honestly beautiful.
I've been listening to The Devil Wears Prada since I was 16. today I will be 28 and they never let me down..
Man they have come a long way. They really have grown along with me. Always morphing into new sounds and new feelings like myself. Love these guys. You can see how much skill they have gained over the years as well.
This album is so underrated.
I'm so happy to see Guiseppe and Jon in this video!!
I mean they've been in past videos. Daughter, Worldwide and Jon has also been in Alien and Planet A
@@blakeseifert8456 true but it kinda bothers me to not see much of them in other promotional material outside of a few music videos
@@SeasideVultures I feel ya! They're in the band but not technically band members lol
@@blakeseifert8456 bands that do this kinda annoy me lol
@@henrywylie8978 I'm sure they have their reasons, but yeah haha
Just running through my Spotify giving these bands the respect they deserve
Never heard a more relatable song. This song describes the hopelessness of anxiety and depression and I know that dance all to well
The Act sure their coolest album. All killer no filler!!
So tdwp really out here creating the most emotionally powerful music to date. I feel like I just hit a lick.
Video really fits the song.
Look at us here, damn near close to 20 years later. Still connecting through music. We all live vicariously through these lyrics and sometimes its the only thing that helped us make it through that one shitty day so many years ago, i know I'm happy to be around to listen to this entire album and everyone else should be to❣️
Every song on the album is a master piece I love this song
🇲🇽🇲🇽Chavos para mí cada pista del álbum es una bomba, los cambios de ritmo y los rifts acompañados de esas dos grandes voces son grandiosos. Long live TDWP
Parce este álbum es brutal...
El album The Act es una obra maestra bro.
We, los primeros singles que sacaron no me gustaron a la primera, pero poco a poco los fui digiriendo y terminaron por gustarme, en especial Chemical. Pero cuando salió todo el album, puffff, no me lo esperaba. La neta que se la rifaron cabrón. Cada canción es diferente, única y brutal.
El álbum es adictivo. Vas del sentimiento y letras profundas de Chemical, Please Say no, a la agresividad de los breakdowns de The thread, Numb, Spiderhead, entre otros. Lo amé.
La verdad escucho a TDWP desde sus inicios👏y creo que cada álbum trae algo especial.... Me gusta su ritmo,su música, sus letras..... Pero veníamos acostumbrados a un estilo de música distinto al de las demás bandas.... Creo a mi parecer que a este álbum le faltó el estilo del verdadero TDWP saludos 👋
Tdwp was my first metal show when I was 12 and I just took my step daughter who is twelve to see them for her first metal show and it was so great to see that kind of excitement from a different perspective. She sang every word of this song and mike looked at her with the biggest smile. She met Gideon and they too were stoked to see someone so young and excited in metal. Thank you guys for making such an impact.
the focus zoom in switching shots always remind me of cloud connected by in flames. god do i love both of these bands.
Please make an entire record in this style!
A lot of people may not have liked the album, but you can't say it was bad. This album is very good.
what makes it good?
@@dsun7293 musical quality and creativity
My favorite song! Can't wait to see them in Chicago again. Have been listening to them since 09 and I'm amazed how far they have come.
Damn. "There's still times I want to break everything I've ever made, but I've come a long way since back then" got me.
Even after making a ton of progress sometimes I feel like I haven't and want to just throw it away. The song felt relatable but that line hit close to home.
Album of the year baby LETS GET IT!
100% bangs
Lol
Album of the year?
Lmao, you wouldn't see this even make top 10 if voted worldwide.
Cool story breh. 🥴
Nah not hardly shadow of intent already have that title
The vibe of this song is so good. TDWP in evolution!
Love this song
album of the year! TDWP
This has real potential to become an anthem, I don't know why it hasn't blown up yet!
THIS VIDEO MUST REACH 100.000.000 VISUALIZATIONS! JUST SHARE EVERYWHERE
Who hurt my boys?
This song is perfection!
I get A Perfect Circle vibes from this song. Absolutely amazing guys, never dissapoint. Album of the year for me.
How they build the emotion made me miss oldschool american alternative rock.
This is the type of song that I wish would never end !!!!
I haven't been listening to them in a few years. Kinda got sick of them or maybe I changed my taste.
This is magnificent. Like whoa.
Seeing this live definitely brought out a lot of emotions, screaming this song with you guys was therapeutic in its self. Thank you for this song.
the video amplifies the feels I get from this song by 10 times... The whole album is so good!
This song and album
nice song with nice music video, damn, that camera movement is so legit to see.
Holy crap, my fav pop-band from 2006 to now
Normally I'm not a fan of when my favorite metalcore bands go softer, but this was done really well.
I love the new stuff so much
I love love love this, their music covers all the bases simultaneously and I'm so here for it
There’s a hole in my head and heart
Convincing myself to be alright.
"I told myself it's all good"
Who's coming here after zombie II EP can't believe they went from this to that in a year and a half😂
I mean to be fair this was the only song like this on that whole album. I think it was a good wrench to throw in to break the album sound a bit
This is beautiful 🖤
Amazing Song!
❤️ Congratulations Guys! I love this band! Since I was i child
This song helped me get through my anxiety and depression about my family’s major health emergency back in Feb.
