“By the way, I made it through the day”. For someone who is going through a painful separation and also dealing with depression, that lyric hits so hard
Brandon YOU are not alone my friend. I am in the end of a 21 year marriage that she just seems to not care about. She wants it, but doesn't want to put fourth the EFFORT. I have had enough of being the lover, the do everything, the make the effort and I am leaving. It's heart breaking 💔 to know someone you still love doesn't care! I think about her constantly and my mountain bike is my outlet and it loves going and never argues. Hang tough and find outlets for happiness. Start doing things more for you and start new friends. We are together ❤
@@billbobagginsbonham9239 thank you brother, I hoped never to go through this but sadly it’s happening and I know that I did it to myself but I know I can still go on, I have people in my life that depend on me and I have to keep going, my heart is with you and you have a friend in this struggle
By the way,lost my lively hood this year and ended a 25 yr marriage,I whole heartedly get the depression and so much more.Hang in there take it day by day.
I remember being 18 years old and being upset with my parents and finally getting ready to get out of the house for good. And I would listen to this song on repeat upon leaving for the Army. This song made me sad, angry, hurt and scared all at once. I was off on my own, to a whole new world and all by myself. It was liberating and terrifying at the same time. But when I came back from my first deployment and listened to this song again, it gave me a new found appreciation for my family, home, and specifically my relationship with my parents. Sometimes goodbye is a second chance, and in my case, it was a second chance.
This song still brings tears to my eyes...being physically disabled young due to severe chronic illness, I never got that "second chance." I get away in my mind. I dream of that day when I get to leave this broken shell of a body behind for good - finally FREE forever!!!! Can't wait! Praying everyday it is soon. Constant, unrelenting physical torture is brutal to endure. No vacations. No days off. 24/7/365. It is a crushingly slow way to die - and it steals everything from you - piece by piece. It takes so much courage to keep living - to try to make everyday meaningful. But by the Grace of God...here's to all the others out there like me. Blessings to all.
This was also my mother-in-law‘s song she played me two days before she died and I know she played it to me because I’m very spiritual and into the universe and everything and she told me and I’m really into music and she was also physically disabled. she couldn’t walk anymore. She had MS and she had lost her husband and her her son Her baby. Her youngest son killed himself and she was very depressed and in an dark place and she had this illness with her feet and she couldn’t have a second chance because she got sick and then she lost her husband and her son so she was ready to go. She was ready to go and
My eyes are open wide By the way I made it through the day I watch the world outside By the way I'm leaving out today I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved Said "why you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere" Tell my mother Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Please don't cry one tear for me I'm not afraid Of what I have to say This is my one and only voice, so listen close It's only for today I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved Said "why you always running in place? Even the man in the moon disappeared Somewhere in the stratosphere" Tell my mother Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Here's my chance This is my chance Tell my mother Tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize This is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Sometimes goodbye is a second chance Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
My husband passed away on the 6th. His organs were taken for donations 3 days later and the surgeon listened to Shinedown during the procedures because my husband loved them and most especially this song. His funeral is in the morning.
I'm sorry for your loss 🙁😢 I needed to hear your story I'm battling addiction and suffering from depression and I fight back and get back to my feet and I let the devil slide back in with the shame of my past and all ground gained I let the devil win argument is created for nothing fabricated and grab a drink of alcohol and then my meth and inflict my pain all over again on my family from 5yrs of recovery back to this so for 4yrs they have been put up with this Some how this voice says end your life it's the only way out but Gods voice is louder and when I read your comment I'm sure your husband would probably most definitely choose to live and be here with you! God Bless you with your loss I'll choose to fight tell my last breath ❤🙏🏻
My mother hated me growing up and never missed a chance to degrade me verbally. That does a number on your mind and heart. It takes a lot to get over,. I left at 14 and glad I did. Awesome song.
Gia Ferrara DVM ...I can relate ! The psychological/verbal abuse slowly erodes any self esteem you may have ! Then you realize that she is the one who is an "empty shell" filled with jealousy , and the need to fill that hole in her soul with useless material goods because she lacks substance ! It is not you....do not take it personally ! I know it can hurt, and it is a loss that may need to be grieved ! If she a NARC there is no fixing that ! Remove yourself from the situation + find peace ! Good luck !
Gia Ferrara DVM I’m so sorry that happened to you, I myself have been through verbal abuse, the scars take a life time to get rid of of but always know you’re worth 💯😊
Mauro Pacitto ...I would agree ! Sometimes it takes a long time to realize the insurmountable damage done by a psychopath and others ! My problems started with my foster mother when I 4...that was 4 decades ago !! It has been a horrible ! You are correct when you state that the victim is worth 100% ! They just need to realize their worth...despite the fact that someone has tried to erode it for a long period of time !
I left home a year ago, age 33, because my family were overly dependent on me and I couldn’t bare to leave them. When I left, my died of undiagnosed liver cancer that he just soldiered on with. My mom contracted dementia 2 months ago after going to the hospital for her diabetes (ketosisacidosis). My sister quit school due to bullying and anxiety depression (agoraphobia) When mom hit the hospital I drove home immediately, as we learned that she has the heavy onset of dementia I stayed the 2 months, then left. Again. I notified social services of people in the home, professionals, and an amazing doctor that specializes in this stuff... and I left, scared that if I stayed any longer I’d be stuck forever. Again. I hear you, man. The lyrics hit hard, real hard.
This song genuinely helped build the confidence i needed to get far away from abusive family and build my own life. I hope it can help others in the same way, it really means a lot.
I’m with you! I moved across the country with only the clothes on my back, it’s been SO hard, but I’m not around the abuse anymore. You’ve got this, I believe in you
They know how to put on the dog and two faced bitches are always gonna lie,cheat,steal,use drugs then talk shit bout others why?? I hate someone that is just negative, manipulative all day long 24/7. I mean WHY DO THEY LIKE TO BITCH ALL THE TIME
Who else hates the fact that TH-cam ruins the end of every video by showing other videos you might like before the current video is even finished? I want to see the end!!!
You didn't just give us a song. You gave us a WEAPON. A weapon that shuts every negative voice, every demeaning note and the best part - IT WORKS EVERY TIME. THANK YOU.
I love the subtle foreshadowing for what she's going to do. In the first scene with her working with the fish at the docks, there are two boats shown, one named Rebel, the other named Amanda. Like the universe itself is telling her what she should do.
@@senior1146 Yep. They tied with Three Days Grace for top mainstream rock artist with 15 #1 hits! In other words, they're currently tied for #1 rock artist. Go Shinedown!
2022 and this song still makes me cry. This was my dad's favorite song before he died in 2010. He had me make him a cd with just this song over and over again so he could listen to it on repeat in the car❤ I love this song so much but it hurts to hear it sometimes.
Oh no. I rmeember my dad being at a rehab clinic thing in like 2014. Me and my siblings would visit him. He loved shinedown. shinedown still brings tears to my eyes, too. Especially ''call me.''
From what I can see shining through what you have written, this old man who does not have the blessing of a daughter like you is very proud of you. I am confident that your Dad felt the same way and appreciated everything that you did to help him and loves you a great deal. God Bless his immortal soul and you and the other family who he left behind. Take care. Be well. And I do believe that he is watching over you and that the two of you will meet again.
This song just jumped into my head for no apparent reason so I tracked it down and listened to it here. Good lord, why do I have tears streaming down my face?
That's what brought me here, this is the 2nd time it's been in my head after hearing it on the radio drivin one nite, something told me it was for me to listen to. My son took his life weeks prior, I think it's supposed to comfort me somehow. It hurts more than anything
This song came out when I was in the Marines...we had just lost a very close friend and fellow Marine to suicide in the barracks the night our unit got back from Afghanistan and this song would just constantly play everywhere we went around the time of his death so everything I hear this song it reminds me of that day we found out.
Depression, anxiety, fatigue. After multiple combat missions something snaps in you. But you see this and it reminds you to be you and stick to your core values.
Incredible song. Shinedown doesn't get enough good credit for Songwriting. They are incredible. If i was literally and verbally intelligent, I would have wrote that!!!
when you relate to the song it just hits different. I grew up with strained/absent relationships with both of my parents. struggled with my mental health for well over a decade and pondered self-deletion multiple times. I couldn't depend on either of them mentally, emotionally, or financially. I had and still have to crawl when many my age can walk and even run, so to speak. I've taken steps to better myself and finally came to terms with the fact that nobody will feel bad for me so i shouldn't keep feeling bad for myself. I landed this new tech job and I'm starting therapy very soon. I will prove my mom wrong. I'll prove to her and my dad that I am not a failure. I pray we are all alive by the time i reach true success, God willing.
Great to hear that you are turning things around for the better. Some of us are still trying to figure it out. Always good to hear success stories, gives me hope.
My dad. Before he passed away when I was seven from cancer. He used to love shine down. And he had this song downloaded on this iPod. I used to listen to this with him all the time. I thank you shine down for making good music I can share memories with.
when i was a teenager,14, my stepdad never belived in my creative dream... time and time and time before i was bought to tears by this song. this power that this song gave me was everything me and my bf needed to break from our chains. today i am a knew PERSON and HAPPY with what ive am and whom ive become all of this is thanks to shine down... we have seen haleys comet....
I feel you. I've been going through the same thing with my girlfriend. As the person being drug down by parents and step parents it takes alot to take the punishment and make it seem like nothing's going on to you significant other. It sucks but once you turn 18 ain't shit they can do. Every morning I tell myself do it for her, take all of the punishment, they may cruch my body but not my dreams. Your dreams are yours and it's yours to decide when to throw in the towel. And yes people will abuse you over them but it only proves how strong your desire for that dream is
We saw Shinedown around 2006 or something... I remember everyone was amazed at his vocal range. He sang really different keys than their album 😂. I hate to make the comparison of someone showing off for an American Idol audition but he was really showing off
I’m currently 14 and I’ve been exposed to shinedown since I was like born and I can’t be more grateful for there existence I know every song in every album like bro be making fire music
This song and it’s lyrics mean so much to me. It makes the floodgates open and every feeling comes pouring out. I felt invisible today until I came across this song. Now I feel everything.
Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can To make them realize this is my life I hope they understand I'm not angry, I'm just saying Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
My nephew committed suicide 05/13/09. Yesterday it was 11 years R.I.P jason not a day goes by i dont think of you and until we meet again save me a seat. Jason Hill 06/24/1985 -05/13/2009
For the last 3 years I've been out of prison life hasn't been the struggle for me but I'm making it each day no only thing I have to say to this I thank God for everything he's done for me❤❤
He does have a great voice, but so do so many other rock artists. Rock is by far the greatest and most storied genre, because it's filled with so much emotion and passion. Rap brags about it, Country says it, and Rock closes it's eyes and yells it🤘
I remember listening to this song when it first came out, it gave me the strength to leave where I wasn't even loved or appreciated so I left, I think this song portrays to people, that if your in a situation where you feel stuck and cannot grow, why the heck even stay, if your family just wants you stuck and can't be successful, you should be allowed to leave. because of this song, I bettered myself and my life. I think people are getting themselves confused thinking it is a suicide song when it is not even describing that in the music video. the song is saying and the video, is that, if your not being appreciated and your loved one's want you stuck, you should be allowed to leave them. it is saying sometimes the right choice isn't as easy as you think, but it takes guts to go ahead and do it.
I love this song. Sometimes you need separation to improve your relationships. Feel this with Family, and Friends turned roommates. It's such a shame, because there is so much love, somehow corrupted by frustration. But with that space, you grow an understanding of yourself, and a deeper appreciation of those connections. ❤
This song was my friends favorite song before he passed. In his last message before taking his life he said "I'm leaving out today" and when I saw shinedown in Bonner springs kansas and they performed this song I started crying and everytime I hear this song I think of him. Thank you shinedown
Sorry bro that really sucks but I can relate losing someone your close to and you care about to suicide it truly sucks I love this song and I always will I've never skipped even if I'm not in the mood for it I still listen to it. But not about me sorry about your friend may his life be celebrated
This is a true masterclass in how to write a song. It can hold up in any genre if it were changed; strip it down to acoustic and it gains a whole new weight. I remember the first time that I heard this, it hit extremely hard. Song structure-wise, the verses are short, which gives the prechorus time to set up the massive choruses. As a result, it just keeps on moving, quickly. The verses also are in a way, an additional chorus, since they have a repetitive nature to them. The bridge is incredible, the strings give it another level, same thing with Brent's vocals.....just all stratospheric stuff. Great use of major/ minor chords. The passion and conviction still are there all these years later.
....Understanding who God is and what He has done for us only comes in knowing who you truly are and your need for a savior. Do You Want to Go to Heaven? forwhatsaiththescriptures.org/do-you-want-to-go-to-heaven/ The Bible declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). Because of sin, none of us can pay the price to enter heaven. Regardless of how many “good” works we do, we are still sinners by birth, unable to merit God’s favor. We have come short of God’s righteous standards. Thus, in order to enter heaven, we need God’s righteousness. The good news is that, through the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ on Calvary, we can be made “the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). We can receive God’s righteousness as a free gift! We can receive eternal salvation from our sins! “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV). “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23 KJV). “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1 KJV). “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 KJV). “In whom [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7 KJV). “In whom [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14 KJV). “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV). “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5 KJV). “What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:30,31 KJV). Salvation = Faith + Nothing. It is free to you because Jesus Christ paid the price. Do you believe that? Have you fully trusted in that alone for salvation? Jesus Christ (God manifested in human flesh), in His great love, grace, and mercy, paid the penalty for our sins. The Gospel of the Grace of God which saves lost mankind is: “Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). The Lord Jesus Christ shed His sinless blood to forgive us our sins, but the Bible declares that anyone who rejects the Gospel of Grace will have to pay for his or her sins in the lake of fire for all eternity. When you trust exclusively in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, Jesus Christ’s righteousness will be applied to you. Jesus Christ is perfect, so His righteousness imputed to us is our only means of getting into heaven. Will you trust in Christ Jesus alone as your personal Saviour? I hope you will accept God’s offer today! forwhatsaiththescriptures.wordpress.com/ At this link at the top of the page their is a master list of questions, click and learn how amazing the Lord and His word is....
Same way with me on Kiss revenge album, hadn't heard it since 93, got the cd put it in and sang every word!!! Funny how you can forget why you went into the kitchen, but can remember every song lyric from 20-40 yrs ago in a song!!!
Everyone should have a chance to exercise their Freewill ; and NO ONE should be held in a Relationship by the evil practices of a malignant narcissist.✝️💜
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face.. Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe
Hope this song helps all you teenagers going through tough times at home or just figuring out things in your life. Sometimes God puts things in your path but you have to go forward and never give up. Sometimes even saying goodbye to family and friends who have a negative impact in your life is your second chance ♥️
Thanks, I just finished sophomore year and things are rough at home and everywhere else. Shinedown, Nickelback, 5FDP, Abel, all Rock. I love it. It really helps calm, motivate, and sometimes positively anger myself if that makes sense. Some very good workout songs😂
I've known since i was 14 when i first heard this song that goodbye would be my second chance. i finally said goodbye when i was 30 and got to hear this song live for the first time a few months after. they were right, it was my second chance at life and I'm living it to the fullest. I'm not just quoting lyrics when i say this band saved my life not once, but twice. I'm so grateful i got to see them live and that Brent saw my sign stating the above. i wouldn't still be alive without them encouraging me to hold on just a little bit longer. I'm finally free from the abuse and happier than ever ❤
i forget this song exists but every once in a while i hear it playing in a denny's or ihop and i always get goosebumps. its still so beautiful, even all these years later. and the meaning makes me cry now. i relate too much now.
Same. I was in my early 20's when this song came out. I didn't appreciate it then but a failed marriage and 2 young son's later, I do. Great song and well written.
And I remember this song had a different music video and over 100 million views on a random persons channel that was taken down sometime, but no one else mentioned it.
This is one of the greatest rock songs ever written. It's the story of my like. I started playing the drums when I was 12. My mother hated it which lead to verbal, emotional, and some times physical abuse. A parent should never step on a child"s dreams! I'm 66 now and it still haunts me!
I'm in here in 2020 as well..This song is so TRUE...AND DREAMS ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND ALL HAVE REASONS TO BE DREAMT...IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO ACCOMPLISH THE DREAMS YOU HAVE
yeah, especially when you were young and was relating to this. I was like 8 and i related to this. Most say i grew up too fast, i can sort of see that and agree on it...
I can relate with this video strongly, because my stupid parents back in the late 80s never tried to support me on anything I was interested in doing. If it wasn't what they had envisioned me doing with my life, well then I got a big Ole FU Charlie. So just after graduation I moved out and have been out of touch with them since the early 90s. Never been better off than being without the toxicity of their presence in my life. Now I'm 52, have a wife and 3 children, 2 are already grown ups and left on good terms because we supported them in their choices, good or bad. Parents are supposed to love unconditionally and completely, not just when it suits them. To anyone out there going through this type of situation with parents, just don't ever give up on YOU. You be yourself and follow your own dreams, not what your parents dreamed up for you. If they don't like it, well then they're not good parents and they can go pound salt.
I remember when it came out i was the kid trying to be let go of. Now as a parent this song makes me cry. I paused it on 0:02 to write this and I'm already crying.
When I was a teen, I wanted to run so bad. My father died unexpectedly, my mother was a wreck and we fought constantly. My whole family was in shambles. The biggest reason I stayed was for my younger sister. I was the only stability she had left. Now as a parent, I'm determined to do it all different. I don't blame my mom, she was hurting, too. But she wasn't the best mom for those years when I needed her support the most and now she just gaslights me on the topic.
@@ThesmartestTem Thats nothin to btch about bro both my parents are dead am I been couch Surfing be thankful. Ppl do what they can they got problems to
@@JarrodHenderson-kp8cyso r mine but I’m not crying I got the fuck up from being homeless got a job and now a three bedroom apt just do smthn about it cry baby’s
This song helped me release the struggle of living my life the way my mother and father would have wanted (and never feeling I measured up) to letting go and living my life to make me happy and realize I have done quite well for myself. This was my 2022 anthem.
Shout out to all who is battling depression and just remember you guys are alone in your battle. Like me and there’s many others battling the same fight you are fighting. Just keep in mind you aren’t and have never been alone this whole time. Let’s all thank Shinedown for writing such meaningful and relatable music over the years. Also helping us through this battle with depression and coming out stronger then we have ever been before🙏
Sam Wheeler We may all be fighting our own battles and yes they are very different in many ways. But that deep dark aloneness feeling is the part where your not alone in. Many of us are fighting in different ways but still share that same pain in the long run. Just keep fighting don’t given give in to the darkness and stay strong.
Great topic as depression is real, and it's hard to deal with. It seems society wants to discard us into oblivion! Safest story of America's time! Peace
I had a rough childhood, been betrayed and lost people in so many ways, and at times thought of suicide. But this song not only brings tears to my eyes, but simultaneously brings me out of my darkest moments. Been my favorite song since I was a kid!
This song has helped me though a lot. I have “Sometimes Goodbye is a Second Chance” tattooed on my left arm. I lost my younger brother to cancer four years ago and I thought losing him would be the death of me. Shinedown has helped me though these years with Threat to Survival releasing the day after he passed and ATTENTION ATTENTION releasing in 2018. All of their songs have depth and meaning to me personally, but this one, How did you love, and MONSTERS especially. Brent Smith is truly an inspiring person and I hope to one day meet him and thank him for pretty much saving my life. If it wasn’t for their music and my husband, I don’t think I’d be writing this right now.
this song expresses the intensity of my pain of grieving for my wife's passing and the change I'm experiencing since and the opportunity that is in front of me to start my life over....Love It!
In August 2023, I said goodbye to my wife of 39 years, as they turned off the life support... got into my car in the parking garage and ironically, this song was on the radio. Go figure, I'll never hear this song the same again.
It has August 17 2017 my son my only child was on his way to the hospital non-responsive by ambulance.My son was 37 years old and I heard this song on the radio.I feel that was his way of saying good bye to me.Went I got to the hospital he was gone.I haven't been the same since that day.😢❤🦋
Colleen Atwell i saw them live with sick puppies and breaking benjamin (before they split) It was gnarly af, on a side not BB is making a new album for the first time in 5 years :D
I remember seeing this video for the first time at 11 years old. I was mesmerized by it. I spent years searching for it and finally found it. I honestly think it’s the greatest music video ever. I will die on that hill.
This was my senior graduating classes song in 2009. Amazing to see how the lyrics mean different things pertaining to my life then and now, but still an amazing song. Love this song!
Для меня песня Second chance имеет особое значение, сколько бы лет не прошло, но она до сих пор вызывает у меня улыбку и неважно, где я нахожусь, подчас это очень шокирующе для окружающих, потому что в России не принято улыбаться без повода. Моя история - это продолжение клипа, но с российской спецификой в виде расстояния и Забайкалья (да простят меня местные жители). Я также как эта девушка воодушевилась идеей, что жизнь в маленьком городке без перспектив не для меня, села… в поезд, следующий до Москвы (я родом из Приморья), первые время все было бодро, настрой «круто изменить свою жизнь» был воспринят мозгом на ура, но тут случилось Забайкалье, однообразный пейзаж степей без намека на какую-либо цивилизацию с характерным запахом гари и навоза очень быстро отудили мой пыл, вторые сутки степей и вони вовсе сформировали план «выпрыгнуть из поезда на первой же станции и поехать домой, пусть и на почтовике», как вдруг случилось чудо: радиоприемник прохрипел нечто, что в последствии при должном подключении фантазии было опознано как Second Chance Shinedown. С этого момента Shinedown прописался в моем плейлисте особенно в те моменты, когда мне очень нужна поддержка.
@@apetit8687 thank YOU so much. Just today is an anniversary (11 years) of my escape to a better life and I can say with confidence, that it turned out very well. What's about your story?
What a gorgeous melody, this is one of those songs that at random times pops into my head and I can’t help but to whistle or hum the melody, great job to the songwriters on this one!
When I was trying to decide if I should leave my small town where I was born and raised and move to a big city I listened to this song over and over. It gave me the strength to leave my home town to a place where I didn't know anyone. Thank you Shinedown. Still one of favorite songs.
I've always been trying to do the best I could for everyone....now I'm starting todo the best for me....and everything us getting mucho better for everybody ❤
I find it amazing how a voice of someone can reach so many people through their lyrics and connect with so many people and their stories-paths in life.
Brings joyful tears to my eyes every damn time I hear this. I love how he sings with all his heart. In all his songs. Fucking ShineDown rocks….hands down. 🙌🙌
Never crush your children's dreams, even if it's not your dreams. Because it was never meant to be, it's their dream. Plus, you never know what it will it inspire them to be, if you don't.
All kids of the same family are different. All we can do is help them along and train them in right and wrong and find what their God given gifts and potentials and help them pursue. Trying to force or put pressure on a child to follow in your footsteps as you found your gift is wrong and damaging to the relationship and success of the youth.
Powerful song, powerful voice, powerful musicians, and just can never get tired of this song. I don't listen to it all the time but it never gets old. Some seriously good work
Me too! It's so relatable considering the fact that I've had problems with both of my parents where I had to leave and prove to them I could make it. Thankfully, it worked out with both of them and we are on good terms to this day
Like a fine wine, at more than 12 years old at the time of my writing this, Second Chance has aged well. The message, the voice, the hook, even the video are excellent, all coming together for what can only be described as a forgotten masterpiece. Although I often root for the underdog - therefore, I do have a soft spot for one hit wonders - this song truly deserved far more coverage than it got. Yes, it was on the radio as part of the cycle of hits back in late 2009 but you almost never hear this song on any station these days, including SiriusXM Pop2K, which is a bit of a travesty. One of those truly inspirational hits that comes along and is gone as quickly as it came - Shinedown deserved more from this song. Cheers to all that sought out this song on TH-cam, you have good taste!
@@T3AR_HD You could also read this as maybe in order to make a better life for herself, even if it meant disagreeing with her parents and following her dreams, she had to make extremely difficult decisions. Life is full of difficult choices, sometimes being strong means making huge sacrifices. (Do we actually know it was meant to be her son? And not a younger brother, etc.?)
“Even the Man In The Moon disappeared.. somewhere in the stratosphere.” As a space-geek, this line gives me chills and is the best part of the whole song. 😅😊

“By the way, I made it through the day”. For someone who is going through a painful separation and also dealing with depression, that lyric hits so hard
I’m here with you

Brandon YOU are not alone my friend. I am in the end of a 21 year marriage that she just seems to not care about. She wants it, but doesn't want to put fourth the EFFORT.
I have had enough of being the lover, the do everything, the make the effort and I am leaving. It's heart breaking 💔 to know someone you still love doesn't care! I think about her constantly and my mountain bike is my outlet and it loves going and never argues. Hang tough and find outlets for happiness. Start doing things more for you and start new friends. We are together ❤
@@billbobagginsbonham9239 thank you brother, I hoped never to go through this but sadly it’s happening and I know that I did it to myself but I know I can still go on, I have people in my life that depend on me and I have to keep going, my heart is with you and you have a friend in this struggle
By the way,lost my lively hood this year and ended a 25 yr marriage,I whole heartedly get the depression and so much more.Hang in there take it day by day.
As a vet, I have always loved these guys! They are huge vet supporters!
God bless our vets!
I remember being 18 years old and being upset with my parents and finally getting ready to get out of the house for good. And I would listen to this song on repeat upon leaving for the Army. This song made me sad, angry, hurt and scared all at once. I was off on my own, to a whole new world and all by myself. It was liberating and terrifying at the same time. But when I came back from my first deployment and listened to this song again, it gave me a new found appreciation for my family, home, and specifically my relationship with my parents. Sometimes goodbye is a second chance, and in my case, it was a second chance.
yeah, these songs hit some spots that I didn't even know existed.
Very cool!
Thank you for your service and for sharing your growth
Thank you for your service and I hear ya I joined the navy 💯
This is definitely my army deployment song to my parents incase I was killed at war in Iraq. #OIF5
This song still brings tears to my eyes...being physically disabled young due to severe chronic illness, I never got that "second chance." I get away in my mind. I dream of that day when I get to leave this broken shell of a body behind for good - finally FREE forever!!!! Can't wait! Praying everyday it is soon. Constant, unrelenting physical torture is brutal to endure. No vacations. No days off. 24/7/365. It is a crushingly slow way to die - and it steals everything from you - piece by piece. It takes so much courage to keep living - to try to make everyday meaningful. But by the Grace of God...here's to all the others out there like me. Blessings to all.
I wish you nothing but the best!
@@meanmrbean8641 Thank you, that is so kind of you. Blessings to you.
This was also my mother-in-law‘s song she played me two days before she died and I know she played it to me because I’m very spiritual and into the universe and everything and she told me and I’m really into music and she was also physically disabled. she couldn’t walk anymore. She had MS and she had lost her husband and her her son Her baby. Her youngest son killed himself and she was very depressed and in an dark place and she had this illness with her feet and she couldn’t have a second chance because she got sick and then she lost her husband and her son so she was ready to go. She was ready to go and
I felt every single word of this so deeply. Thank you and blessings over you my friend. I love you!
@@ashleyfarris9977 Thank you. Wishing you peace, comfort, rest, and the love of God in Christ Jesus.
My eyes are open wide
By the way
I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way
I'm leaving out today
I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved
Said "why you always running in place?
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"
Tell my mother
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid
Of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice, so listen close
It's only for today
I just saw Hayley's comet, she waved
Said "why you always running in place?
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"
Tell my mother
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Here's my chance
This is my chance
Tell my mother
Tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize
This is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

The lyrics sucks but the song is good
I agree with you honestly but I love this song anyway.
Thank you
My husband passed away on the 6th. His organs were taken for donations 3 days later and the surgeon listened to Shinedown during the procedures because my husband loved them and most especially this song. His funeral is in the morning.
So sorry for your loss. My friend's organs were donated. Incredible gift of life, even in death. 💔🙏❤
Im sorry.hope god heals ur heart
My heart breaks for you..😔
I'm sorry for your loss 🙁😢
I needed to hear your story I'm battling addiction and suffering from depression and I fight back and get back to my feet and I let the devil slide back in with the shame of my past and all ground gained I let the devil win argument is created for nothing fabricated and grab a drink of alcohol and then my meth and inflict my pain all over again on my family from 5yrs of recovery back to this so for 4yrs they have been put up with this
Some how this voice says end your life it's the only way out but Gods voice is louder and when I read your comment I'm sure your husband would probably most definitely choose to live and be here with you! God Bless you with your loss I'll choose to fight tell my last breath ❤🙏🏻

This was my son's favorite band. Played this song at his funeral. Was his favorite song
Sorry for your loss
He OD’d didn’t he?
sorry for your loss. May he Rest In Peace ❤️
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending prayers.
Condolences
My mother hated me growing up and never missed a chance to degrade me verbally. That does a number on your mind and heart. It takes a lot to get over,. I left at 14 and glad I did. Awesome song.
I'm just curious. Where did you go when you ran away? Relative's place?
25yrs later and I'm still trying to get over it, still have unanswered questions
Gia Ferrara DVM ...I can relate ! The psychological/verbal abuse slowly erodes any self esteem you may have ! Then you realize that she is the one who is an "empty shell" filled with jealousy , and the need to fill that hole in her soul with useless material goods because she lacks substance ! It is not you....do not take it personally ! I know it can hurt, and it is a loss that may need to be grieved ! If she a NARC there is no fixing that ! Remove yourself from the situation + find peace ! Good luck !
Gia Ferrara DVM I’m so sorry that happened to you, I myself have been through verbal abuse, the scars take a life time to get rid of of but always know you’re worth 💯😊
Mauro Pacitto ...I would agree ! Sometimes it takes a long time to realize the insurmountable damage done by a psychopath and others ! My problems started with my foster mother when I 4...that was 4 decades ago !! It has been a horrible ! You are correct when you state that the victim is worth 100% ! They just need to realize their worth...despite the fact that someone has tried to erode it for a long period of time !

Sometimes “goodbye” is a second chance
I left home a year ago, age 33, because my family were overly dependent on me and I couldn’t bare to leave them. When I left, my died of undiagnosed liver cancer that he just soldiered on with. My mom contracted dementia 2 months ago after going to the hospital for her diabetes (ketosisacidosis). My sister quit school due to bullying and anxiety depression (agoraphobia)
When mom hit the hospital I drove home immediately, as we learned that she has the heavy onset of dementia I stayed the 2 months, then left. Again. I notified social services of people in the home, professionals, and an amazing doctor that specializes in this stuff... and I left, scared that if I stayed any longer I’d be stuck forever. Again.
I hear you, man. The lyrics hit hard, real hard.
This song genuinely helped build the confidence i needed to get far away from abusive family and build my own life. I hope it can help others in the same way, it really means a lot.
This. Exactly this for me, too. Wishing you strength and love as we journey through our second chance. 🙌

I’m with you! I moved across the country with only the clothes on my back, it’s been SO hard, but I’m not around the abuse anymore. You’ve got this, I believe in you

They know how to put on the dog and two faced bitches are always gonna lie,cheat,steal,use drugs then talk shit bout others why?? I hate someone that is just negative, manipulative all day long 24/7. I mean WHY DO THEY LIKE TO BITCH ALL THE TIME
Sometimes good bye is a second chance... sometimes it's not. Took me awhile to appreciate this song this band.
Who else hates the fact that TH-cam ruins the end of every video by showing other videos you might like before the current video is even finished? I want to see the end!!!
I do too! Hate that myself!

Yeah
Its even worse since the ending to the video is awesome
I COMPLETELY AGREE SINCE THIS VIDEO IS LIKE A MOVIE!
You didn't just give us a song. You gave us a WEAPON. A weapon that shuts every negative voice, every demeaning note and the best part - IT WORKS EVERY TIME. THANK YOU.
I love the subtle foreshadowing for what she's going to do. In the first scene with her working with the fish at the docks, there are two boats shown, one named Rebel, the other named Amanda. Like the universe itself is telling her what she should do.

Shinedown helped me get through the loss of my mother and my wife
Shinedown should get more recognition, they have so many songs that have a deep meaning, and can get you through some seriously hard times.
Shinedown is actually the worlds second best rock band factually. In my opinion, they are the best.
Go look at the Billboard Charts their new single Attention made it to #1
@@senior1146 Yep. They tied with Three Days Grace for top mainstream rock artist with 15 #1 hits! In other words, they're currently tied for #1 rock artist. Go Shinedown!
Professionally Stupid I agree with you 💯
Maybe because their sound sounds so similar to Nickelback who overshadowed them?
2022 and this song still makes me cry. This was my dad's favorite song before he died in 2010. He had me make him a cd with just this song over and over again so he could listen to it on repeat in the car❤ I love this song so much but it hurts to hear it sometimes.
Sorry for your lost
Oh no. I rmeember my dad being at a rehab clinic thing in like 2014. Me and my siblings would visit him. He loved shinedown. shinedown still brings tears to my eyes, too. Especially ''call me.''
From what I can see shining through what you have written, this old man who does not have the blessing of a daughter like you is very proud of you. I am confident that your Dad felt the same way and appreciated everything that you did to help him and loves you a great deal. God Bless his immortal soul and you and the other family who he left behind. Take care. Be well. And I do believe that he is watching over you and that the two of you will meet again.
I'm here with you, I've lost my wife because I cheated on her, I miss her so much 💔 I still love her
All the Best for you

Absolutely the greatest male vocalist ever, my favorite song by Shinedown and what made me a fan for life.
Definitely a solid candidate. Especially amoung rock artists
He absolutely nailed it in the end such a great song !!
Adam gontier clears
Behave yourself.
I really love the song too lol
This song came out when I was in the Marines...we had just lost a very close friend and fellow Marine to suicide in the barracks the night our unit got back from Afghanistan and this song would just constantly play everywhere we went around the time of his death so everything I hear this song it reminds me of that day we found out.
Thank you. May God bless you. My stepfather is a disabled combat vet from Iraq.
Thank you for serving.

Sorry for your lost Sister love you
Well turn it to ten the next,let's make sure that jar head hears it in heaven!!! And thank u both,and the rest

Depression, anxiety, fatigue. After multiple combat missions something snaps in you. But you see this and it reminds you to be you and stick to your core values.

Thank you 4 your service....
God bless all of you men and women for your service
Roger Lyon, thank you for your service to our country!
Incredible song. Shinedown doesn't get enough good credit for Songwriting. They are incredible. If i was literally and verbally intelligent, I would have wrote that!!!
When I was a kid hearing this song for the first time I thought it was a catchy song. Now as a grown man, I understand and relate to the lyrics.
ikr? Same with all songs, too.
Now that I think of it, I had a whole collection of love songs because of the catchy music.
when you relate to the song it just hits different. I grew up with strained/absent relationships with both of my parents. struggled with my mental health for well over a decade and pondered self-deletion multiple times. I couldn't depend on either of them mentally, emotionally, or financially. I had and still have to crawl when many my age can walk and even run, so to speak. I've taken steps to better myself and finally came to terms with the fact that nobody will feel bad for me so i shouldn't keep feeling bad for myself. I landed this new tech job and I'm starting therapy very soon. I will prove my mom wrong. I'll prove to her and my dad that I am not a failure. I pray we are all alive by the time i reach true success, God willing.
im 22 btw
At 64 still can relate still want to be running
Great to hear that you are turning things around for the better. Some of us are still trying to figure it out. Always good to hear success stories, gives me hope.
My dad. Before he passed away when I was seven from cancer. He used to love shine down. And he had this song downloaded on this iPod. I used to listen to this with him all the time. I thank you shine down for making good music I can share memories with.
51 in November and I still shed a tear at this song! Miss ya mom 💜
when i was a teenager,14, my stepdad never belived in my creative dream... time and time and time before i was bought to tears by this song. this power that this song gave me was everything me and my bf needed to break from our chains. today i am a knew PERSON and HAPPY with what ive am and whom ive become
all of this is thanks to shine down... we have seen haleys comet....
What a great story. thanks for sharing
I feel you. I've been going through the same thing with my girlfriend. As the person being drug down by parents and step parents it takes alot to take the punishment and make it seem like nothing's going on to you significant other. It sucks but once you turn 18 ain't shit they can do. Every morning I tell myself do it for her, take all of the punishment, they may cruch my body but not my dreams. Your dreams are yours and it's yours to decide when to throw in the towel. And yes people will abuse you over them but it only proves how strong your desire for that dream is
Their was a man named Nickolas and his story was glorius
This is the anthem for pursuing your dreams. I love it.
Dang Brent has a set of pipes doesn't he..One of the best voices ever..
❤❤❤
Yes!! I’m really impressed by his singing ability. Just heard this song tonight while shopping
Fall in fall
We saw Shinedown around 2006 or something... I remember everyone was amazed at his vocal range. He sang really different keys than their album 😂. I hate to make the comparison of someone showing off for an American Idol audition but he was really showing off
I’m currently 14 and I’ve been exposed to shinedown since I was like born and I can’t be more grateful for there existence I know every song in every album like bro be making fire music
Im 25 I remember being in 5th grade when this song was on the radio
Great music transcends time

I'm 14 too and my parents named me after this song😭
This song and it’s lyrics mean so much to me. It makes the floodgates open and every feeling comes pouring out. I felt invisible today until I came across this song. Now I feel everything.
I felt this soooo hard!
Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life

Brent Smith has one of the most underrated voices ever.
He does have a great voice, but so do so many other rock artists. Rock is by far the greatest and most storied genre, because it's filled with so much emotion and passion. Rap brags about it, Country says it, and Rock closes it's eyes and yells it🤘
PsYcHo_OuTrAgE I wouldn’t say underrated at all. He may be Top 10 ever!
Strong voice! Love it!
And Michael has not even a voice
@@davidfarley8827 What?
One of the absolute best vocals in all of music & the control he has over his vocals is amazing..
Great music never dies!!!..
I remember listening to this song when it first came out, it gave me the strength to leave where I wasn't even loved or appreciated so I left,
I think this song portrays to people, that if your in a situation where you feel stuck and cannot grow, why the heck even stay, if your family just wants you stuck and can't be successful, you should be allowed to leave. because of this song, I bettered myself and my life.
I think people are getting themselves confused thinking it is a suicide song when it is not even describing that in the music video. the song is saying and the video, is that, if your not being appreciated and your loved one's want you stuck, you should be allowed to leave them. it is saying sometimes the right choice isn't as easy as you think, but it takes guts to go ahead and do it.
Lacy Hansen that is right!!! Well said!!! Shinedown has a way about making people notice what they were meaning!!!!
Lacy Hansen well said
Yes. It takes guts. No Mather if u love them so much u need to move on. Is hard
God gave us free will for a reason. Use it!
Ditto
I love this song.
Sometimes you need separation to improve your relationships.
Feel this with Family, and Friends turned roommates.
It's such a shame, because there is so much love, somehow corrupted by frustration.
But with that space, you grow an understanding of yourself, and a deeper appreciation of those connections.

My favorite song from Shinedown
This song was my friends favorite song before he passed. In his last message before taking his life he said "I'm leaving out today" and when I saw shinedown in Bonner springs kansas and they performed this song I started crying and everytime I hear this song I think of him. Thank you shinedown

Sorry bro that really sucks but I can relate losing someone your close to and you care about to suicide it truly sucks I love this song and I always will I've never skipped even if I'm not in the mood for it I still listen to it. But not about me sorry about your friend may his life be celebrated

I do, I agree!

I had no idea it was shinedown who did this song, but I loved it... Just another reason to love them now I know.
rap
This is a true masterclass in how to write a song. It can hold up in any genre if it were changed; strip it down to acoustic and it gains a whole new weight. I remember the first time that I heard this, it hit extremely hard. Song structure-wise, the verses are short, which gives the prechorus time to set up the massive choruses. As a result, it just keeps on moving, quickly. The verses also are in a way, an additional chorus, since they have a repetitive nature to them. The bridge is incredible, the strings give it another level, same thing with Brent's vocals.....just all stratospheric stuff. Great use of major/ minor chords. The passion and conviction still are there all these years later.
My mom's last dance before she passed was to this song. I'm thankful that we recorded it. Sometimes goodbye IS a second chance.
Sorry for your loss!
Or the last chance
I know my brother passed away 😢 March 20 2019
....Understanding who God is and what He has done for us only comes in knowing who you truly are and your need for a savior. Do You Want to Go to Heaven? forwhatsaiththescriptures.org/do-you-want-to-go-to-heaven/ The Bible declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). Because of sin, none of us can pay the price to enter heaven. Regardless of how many “good” works we do, we are still sinners by birth, unable to merit God’s favor. We have come short of God’s righteous standards. Thus, in order to enter heaven, we need God’s righteousness. The good news is that, through the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ on Calvary, we can be made “the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). We can receive God’s righteousness as a free gift! We can receive eternal salvation from our sins! “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast” (Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV). “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23 KJV). “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1 KJV). “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 KJV). “In whom [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7 KJV). “In whom [Christ] we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:14 KJV). “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9 KJV). “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Romans 4:5 KJV). “What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:30,31 KJV). Salvation = Faith + Nothing. It is free to you because Jesus Christ paid the price. Do you believe that? Have you fully trusted in that alone for salvation? Jesus Christ (God manifested in human flesh), in His great love, grace, and mercy, paid the penalty for our sins. The Gospel of the Grace of God which saves lost mankind is: “Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). The Lord Jesus Christ shed His sinless blood to forgive us our sins, but the Bible declares that anyone who rejects the Gospel of Grace will have to pay for his or her sins in the lake of fire for all eternity. When you trust exclusively in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, Jesus Christ’s righteousness will be applied to you. Jesus Christ is perfect, so His righteousness imputed to us is our only means of getting into heaven. Will you trust in Christ Jesus alone as your personal Saviour? I hope you will accept God’s offer today! forwhatsaiththescriptures.wordpress.com/ At this link at the top of the page their is a master list of questions, click and learn how amazing the Lord and His word is....
You helped me to fully understand that line, thank you. Also, sorry for your loss.

Thanks , I'm 33 still living at home. But moving out in a few weeks, got a job in a different city, exciting!
Thanks, I just finished sophomore year and things are rough at home and everywhere else. Shinedown, Nickelback, 5FDP, Abel, all Rock. I love it. It really helps calm, motivate, and sometimes positively anger myself if that makes sense. Some very good workout songs😂
I've known since i was 14 when i first heard this song that goodbye would be my second chance. i finally said goodbye when i was 30 and got to hear this song live for the first time a few months after. they were right, it was my second chance at life and I'm living it to the fullest. I'm not just quoting lyrics when i say this band saved my life not once, but twice. I'm so grateful i got to see them live and that Brent saw my sign stating the above. i wouldn't still be alive without them encouraging me to hold on just a little bit longer. I'm finally free from the abuse and happier than ever ❤
i forget this song exists but every once in a while i hear it playing in a denny's or ihop and i always get goosebumps. its still so beautiful, even all these years later. and the meaning makes me cry now. i relate too much now.
Same. I was in my early 20's when this song came out. I didn't appreciate it then but a failed marriage and 2 young son's later, I do. Great song and well written.
And I remember this song had a different music video and over 100 million views on a random persons channel that was taken down sometime, but no one else mentioned it.
Rebel with a cause I have a similar story god bless
Same!
RIP 🌹🌹🌹
The Human Voice is the most perfect instrument of all ... You rock Brent Smith ... !
Been going to concerts since the 80’s. They are one of the best bands I’ve seen and heard live. Hope these guys can go on tour again soon.
You hit that right, I was blown away by their performance
Just saw them perform in may with the pretty reckless it was an amazing concert
This is one of the greatest rock songs ever written. It's the story of my like. I started playing the drums when I was 12. My mother hated it which lead to verbal, emotional, and some times physical abuse. A parent should never step on a child"s dreams! I'm 66 now and it still haunts me!
I'm in here in 2020 as well..This song is so TRUE...AND DREAMS ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND ALL HAVE REASONS TO BE DREAMT...IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO ACCOMPLISH THE DREAMS YOU HAVE
It's never too late to live Happily Ever After. At 58, it is what I'm doing. It's wonderful

This song hits hard when you can strongly relate
Hits like a spring air. Like nothing. This song Don't hit shit. Lame ass song
yeah, especially when you were young and was relating to this. I was like 8 and i related to this. Most say i grew up too fast, i can sort of see that and agree on it...
I hope your okay
I left home on bad terms when I was around 17/18 years old. This song sure still hits, although things are better now with my old folks
I can relate with this video strongly, because my stupid parents back in the late 80s never tried to support me on anything I was interested in doing. If it wasn't what they had envisioned me doing with my life, well then I got a big Ole FU Charlie. So just after graduation I moved out and have been out of touch with them since the early 90s. Never been better off than being without the toxicity of their presence in my life. Now I'm 52, have a wife and 3 children, 2 are already grown ups and left on good terms because we supported them in their choices, good or bad. Parents are supposed to love unconditionally and completely, not just when it suits them.
To anyone out there going through this type of situation with parents, just don't ever give up on YOU. You be yourself and follow your own dreams, not what your parents dreamed up for you. If they don't like it, well then they're not good parents and they can go pound salt.
I remember when it came out i was the kid trying to be let go of. Now as a parent this song makes me cry. I paused it on 0:02 to write this and I'm already crying.
When I was a teen, I wanted to run so bad. My father died unexpectedly, my mother was a wreck and we fought constantly. My whole family was in shambles. The biggest reason I stayed was for my younger sister. I was the only stability she had left. Now as a parent, I'm determined to do it all different. I don't blame my mom, she was hurting, too. But she wasn't the best mom for those years when I needed her support the most and now she just gaslights me on the topic.
@@ThesmartestTem Thats nothin to btch about bro both my parents are dead am I been couch Surfing be thankful. Ppl do what they can they got problems to
@@JarrodHenderson-kp8cyso r mine but I’m not crying I got the fuck up from being homeless got a job and now a three bedroom apt just do smthn about it cry baby’s
This song helped me release the struggle of living my life the way my mother and father would have wanted (and never feeling I measured up) to letting go and living my life to make me happy and realize I have done quite well for myself. This was my 2022 anthem.
Shout out to all who is battling depression and just remember you guys are alone in your battle. Like me and there’s many others battling the same fight you are fighting. Just keep in mind you aren’t and have never been alone this whole time. Let’s all thank Shinedown for writing such meaningful and relatable music over the years. Also helping us through this battle with depression and coming out stronger then we have ever been before🙏
I don't think people are fighting the fight I am right now
Sam Wheeler We may all be fighting our own battles and yes they are very different in many ways. But that deep dark aloneness feeling is the part where your not alone in. Many of us are fighting in different ways but still share that same pain in the long run. Just keep fighting don’t given give in to the darkness and stay strong.
Thanks.i hope you are staying strong in your battle
honestly i choose to face it because im detrimental in any sort of relationship (attitude problems) so im forced to be alone but its not good for me
Great topic as depression is real, and it's hard to deal with. It seems society wants to discard us into oblivion! Safest story of America's time! Peace
This song has always hit me hard ever since it came out. But as someone who just recently left their entire family for good, it hits close to home. 💔
I feel u my friend I had to leave them all behind to. Cheers
I hope you're doing well, friend. Things may be hard right now but you'll be better off for it in the end. Brighter days will come ❤
Always makes me cry
Hope you good out here ..love
Thanks everyone. Some days are better than others but overall hanging in there. But Mother’s and Father’s Day coming it’s hitting me hard.
I had a rough childhood, been betrayed and lost people in so many ways, and at times thought of suicide. But this song not only brings tears to my eyes, but simultaneously brings me out of my darkest moments. Been my favorite song since I was a kid!
Me also don't worry it will get better for us
More than just one meaning to this song…Second Chances ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think its about suicide
.not sure
This song has helped me though a lot. I have “Sometimes Goodbye is a Second Chance” tattooed on my left arm. I lost my younger brother to cancer four years ago and I thought losing him would be the death of me. Shinedown has helped me though these years with Threat to Survival releasing the day after he passed and ATTENTION ATTENTION releasing in 2018. All of their songs have depth and meaning to me personally, but this one, How did you love, and MONSTERS especially. Brent Smith is truly an inspiring person and I hope to one day meet him and thank him for pretty much saving my life. If it wasn’t for their music and my husband, I don’t think I’d be writing this right now.
this song expresses the intensity of my pain of grieving for my wife's passing and the change I'm experiencing since and the opportunity that is in front of me to start my life over....Love It!
This is the song my son sends to me to let me know he’s near. It was the first song I heard after I learned he took his life. Miss him so much 💔
Awwww I am so so sorry sweetie . Sending my love to you
So sorry for your loss
I am so sorry. Message me anytime. Don’t give up.
Sending love 💖 he done his best he loves you DEEPLY 💕
In August 2023, I said goodbye to my wife of 39 years, as they turned off the life support... got into my car in the parking garage and ironically, this song was on the radio. Go figure, I'll never hear this song the same again.
My God 😢
So sorry for your heart breaking loss. I almost broke out in tears reading that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 👼 1:58
Sorry for your loss.
Nice how a higher power comes through when you need it! Music, the great helper, healer, happiness!
This man has such an awesome voice. I could listen to this song over and over.
When life gets tough, this music seems to bring me back. Thank you 2000s.
The simple times when life was easy and simple
It has August 17 2017 my son my only child was on his way to the hospital non-responsive by ambulance.My son was 37 years old and I heard this song on the radio.I feel that was his way of saying good bye to me.Went I got to the hospital he was gone.I haven't been the same since that day.😢❤🦋
This is a beautiful and lifesaving song, music video, and performance. Thank you Shinedown for living your lives and surviving and expressing.
Never was a fan of Shinedown until I heard this many years ago. It hits a deep chord inside me. Thank you guys for this incredible song.
Favorite song by them. Really resonates with me, especially the lyric: "Sometimes goodbye is a second chance..."
Shinedown is so friggin amazing... I love every song they have.. I want to see them live heard it was an awesome experience
Try some Status Quo.....
Colleen Atwell i saw them live with sick puppies and breaking benjamin (before they split) It was gnarly af, on a side not BB is making a new album for the first time in 5 years :D
aah breakin Benjamin... :))))) luv.....
it is awesome, when you hear an entire arena singing along with the songs
I remember seeing this video for the first time at 11 years old. I was mesmerized by it. I spent years searching for it and finally found it. I honestly think it’s the greatest music video ever. I will die on that hill.
This was my senior graduating classes song in 2009. Amazing to see how the lyrics mean different things pertaining to my life then and now, but still an amazing song. Love this song!
Для меня песня Second chance имеет особое значение, сколько бы лет не прошло, но она до сих пор вызывает у меня улыбку и неважно, где я нахожусь, подчас это очень шокирующе для окружающих, потому что в России не принято улыбаться без повода. Моя история - это продолжение клипа, но с российской спецификой в виде расстояния и Забайкалья (да простят меня местные жители). Я также как эта девушка воодушевилась идеей, что жизнь в маленьком городке без перспектив не для меня, села… в поезд, следующий до Москвы (я родом из Приморья), первые время все было бодро, настрой «круто изменить свою жизнь» был воспринят мозгом на ура, но тут случилось Забайкалье, однообразный пейзаж степей без намека на какую-либо цивилизацию с характерным запахом гари и навоза очень быстро отудили мой пыл, вторые сутки степей и вони вовсе сформировали план «выпрыгнуть из поезда на первой же станции и поехать домой, пусть и на почтовике», как вдруг случилось чудо: радиоприемник прохрипел нечто, что в последствии при должном подключении фантазии было опознано как Second Chance Shinedown. С этого момента Shinedown прописался в моем плейлисте особенно в те моменты, когда мне очень нужна поддержка.
Interesting story, hope it works out for you! I also lived in a place like that and couldn't wait to get out.
@@apetit8687 thank YOU so much. Just today is an anniversary (11 years) of my escape to a better life and I can say with confidence, that it turned out very well. What's about your story?
brilliant lyrics love this song, love Shinedown for years and I'm 65 years old...good music is good music regardless of age...
I love this song, hes got a great voice 💕
What a gorgeous melody, this is one of those songs that at random times pops into my head and I can’t help but to whistle or hum the melody, great job to the songwriters on this one!
Remains one of the best songs ever.
YES!!!!
I agree 💯
When I was trying to decide if I should leave my small town where I was born and raised and move to a big city I listened to this song over and over. It gave me the strength to leave my home town to a place where I didn't know anyone. Thank you Shinedown. Still one of favorite songs.
I've always been trying to do the best I could for everyone....now I'm starting todo the best for me....and everything us getting mucho better for everybody ❤
I find it amazing how a voice of someone can reach so many people through their lyrics and connect with so many people and their stories-paths in life.
Don't forget the simple guitar intro was a heart grabber
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Brings joyful tears to my eyes every damn time I hear this. I love how he sings with all his heart. In all his songs. Fucking ShineDown rocks….hands down. 🙌🙌
This song is so good. It reminds all of us that no one is perfect. We All Sin In God's Eyes. It is The Reality. Thank you Shine Down.
Thank You, you forget sometimes, but this and Symptom of Being Human give me new life, Shinedown Rules
Never crush your children's dreams, even if it's not your dreams. Because it was never meant to be, it's their dream. Plus, you never know what it will it inspire them to be, if you don't.
Very well said major props
what about the kid that she abandons to go pursue her 'dreams'?
That's the kindest and sweetest thing I came across comment section!
But what if your children's dreams are stupid? Sorry Dad, I'm dropping out of law school because I want to be a TH-camr!
All kids of the same family are different. All we can do is help them along and train them in right and wrong and find what their God given gifts and potentials and help them pursue. Trying to force or put pressure on a child to follow in your footsteps as you found your gift is wrong and damaging to the relationship and success of the youth.
If you get a second chance your lucky always remember that❤
Your So Right!!& Thank You?
If only it were true. Very rare that a person gets a do-over 💯👍
Powerful song, powerful voice, powerful musicians, and just can never get tired of this song. I don't listen to it all the time but it never gets old. Some seriously good work
Always think of my mom when I hear this. Even after thirty years, still makes me cry.
Haven’t heard this song in so long and it still made me cry. He has such a powerful voice.
I'm a tough guy, but tears get in my eyes every time I hear this song.
Me too.
You ain’t THAT tough then.
Seems like it would be tough to sing live without losing it, so much emotion.
Same here, just so emotional.
Me too! It's so relatable considering the fact that I've had problems with both of my parents where I had to leave and prove to them I could make it. Thankfully, it worked out with both of them and we are on good terms to this day
Like a fine wine, at more than 12 years old at the time of my writing this, Second Chance has aged well. The message, the voice, the hook, even the video are excellent, all coming together for what can only be described as a forgotten masterpiece. Although I often root for the underdog - therefore, I do have a soft spot for one hit wonders - this song truly deserved far more coverage than it got. Yes, it was on the radio as part of the cycle of hits back in late 2009 but you almost never hear this song on any station these days, including SiriusXM Pop2K, which is a bit of a travesty. One of those truly inspirational hits that comes along and is gone as quickly as it came - Shinedown deserved more from this song. Cheers to all that sought out this song on TH-cam, you have good taste!
The video where a young mom abandons her kid to her toxic parents is good? lmfao
@@T3AR_HD Well...not when you put it that way.
@@RoadCone411 well thats what happened
@@T3AR_HD You could also read this as maybe in order to make a better life for herself, even if it meant disagreeing with her parents and following her dreams, she had to make extremely difficult decisions. Life is full of difficult choices, sometimes being strong means making huge sacrifices. (Do we actually know it was meant to be her son? And not a younger brother, etc.?)
“Even the Man In The Moon disappeared.. somewhere in the stratosphere.” As a space-geek, this line gives me chills and is the best part of the whole song. 😅😊
