Greg Holden - The Lost Boy From the 2013 release, "I Don't Believe You" Available on iTunes now bit.ly/1j7e1mC Produced by The Wild Honey Pie www.thewildhone... www.GregHoldenOnline.com
So sad to hear, I'm a huge SOA fan as well. I have such a hard connection with this song. My birthday is March 12.. I will play this song on my birthday, as a reminder of him.
He’s a fictional character I know that. But Opie’s death and funeral still hit my soul like he was a real person. This is one of the best chosen songs to back a funeral scene ever. If I ever find a friend like Opie, I’d hope he would make this my funeral song.
My twin brother was a big SOA fan, he made the desicion of ending his own life in May 2019. When we visit his memorial place, we play this exact song, because he loved it!
The music in sons of anarchy.. EVERY episode I've seen ALWAYS has a fitting and/or amazing songs at the end... Look for songs of anarchy you'll find loads
I listen to this so much for years. Never had a mum or dad, lived on the streets for years then I found my calling my home and I'm now a nurse with 3 children. But this song breaks my heart every time because I know exactly how painful this song hits.
I still need to cry every time i listen to this song and i still watch soa its just one of those series that never gets boring no matter how often you watch it 👌
Tim Arrigo Please say *spoiler* before posting major deaths on music videos that aren't remotely related to the TV show you're referring to (This particular video has no correlation to SoN apart from it being in an episode, there's no direct link anywhere here) I have seen all of the episodes but for those who haven't, please zip your pie hole up
Grim Grin Major deaths? Its make believe u tool..and I'm sure everyone has seen the show if they're here. And how long has it been since it aired? You probably think you're a SON..grow up tough guy.
S.O.A created a powerful and moving scene with this song and the fact the song was written about the millions of lost children in Africa and elsewhere makes an even more powerful statement.
23 years ago my Dad walked away. I remained back with Mom. I have waited and waited and waited for him to show up one day but it hasn't happened, yet. At that point when he left I had not the slightest clue of the hardships that lay before my Mother and me. I wish I could back and relive the times, back to the 80's along with my parents. But since that's an impossible thing to do I come here instead, listen to this beautiful song and go through albums of the days with them.
I’m with ya bro my dad left me my brother and my Ma when I was 7 I’m 49 now recovered drug addict and alcoholic Gangs institutions and almost dead my dad died 3. Years ago and I still see him walk out that door god bless you brother hold strong don’t give up you are definitely not alone ML&R
Every time I listen to an SoA song i just feel things that I didn't know I could feel. The whole show was such a tragic story with a tragic end. Opie and tara's death will always make me cry. Such an amazing show with such amazing music. SAMCRO forever
This song honors an actual Sudanese refugee. He became a refugee as a young boy during the late 1980's. Yet the world continues to generate thousands upon thousand of refugees annually. That is reality. Not a fictional TV show. Seems humanity will never learn.
WOW!! I just discovered this song and am blown away. We are so beat up these days and declaring that "I will not be comanded; I will not be controlled..." is just the phrasing I want to scream at those who are trying their best to do so. It really plays on a loop in my head and probably will for a while. Thanks, Greg, for one more way to sing for individual freedom when "big brother" gets too close.
As much as i love Opie & SOA,this song is for us who have lost someone tragically or orphaned and now that i have a son i pray to live long enough for him to remember me after im gone
I left my home still as a child I walked a thousand sorry miles To wait for my father, to gather up his tools He said my boy you've got to run Don't wait for me, don't wait for mum We'll come get you, when it's safe for us to move So I waited many years Held back the pain behind my tears For my father, to come find me like he said And in that time I was alone So many years without my home I made brothers of a different kind instead And in the time I didn't know Just how hard the wind could blow Towards disaster, and the things that I would see I never found my father I never found my mother Even would I know in my lifetime I will be A hero into the masses To those born without chances There's a freedom that everyone deserves I know there's greed and there's corruption I've seen death and mass destruction But I'm telling you, and I hope that I'm heard And I will not be commanded And I will not be controlled And I will not let my future go on Without the help of my soul And I will not be commanded And I will not be controlled And I will not let my future go on Without the help of my soul And I will not be commanded And I will not be controlled And I will not let my future go on Without the help of my soul I will not be commanded I will not be controlled And I will not let my future go on Without the help of my soul
My dad Micheal Shodin was a biker member I lost him 4 years ago sons of anarchy reminded me of him so much and I played this for him when I left him go rest on peace dad
My father was neither a biker, nor a fan of SoA, but this song reminded me of him a LOT, so when he passed I had to play it at his funeral. it's a beautiful song.
Lost my little brother to suicide around 6 years ago. the lyrics in this song basically describe him, and the write up in the local news even described him as a 'lost boy'. my parents were catatonic so i had to arrange his funeral, picking this song. today is the first time I have been able to listen to it since that day. Fly Free Brother
Here watching SOA and this is the saddest part with Opie I cry every single time with this song and part. Watching it in 1/2025 still one 1️⃣ of my favorite shows ever and omg 😢his song I can’t 😢. I hope 🤞 they come out with jacks two boys Abel and Tommy that would be Amazing!!!!
My life story in a song. When I found my father found he was dead never found my mother she also passed. But my brothers were and are the only family I need. Stay AWESOME AND UNIQUE friends make the world yours
I know im late to the party but only binged SOA recently... and god dam what a show. Like many of the comments opies death hit me like i knew him... credit to the show and this masterpiece of a song 🙏🏻
This song hits a chord in my heart when i hear it. For those who are no longer with me physically, but whom will never leave me in spirit, in my heart or in my soul. Much love to everyone out there.
My dad asked for this song when he passed away and he recently passed away along with my older brother and it was soothing when all of us heard this song at their funeral so I’m happy that we got to listen to this song there
I know this about the Sudanese disaster, but it reflects lots of what we feel for our brothers in our bike clubs they are our family, we back each other to the last breath
Rest easy fly high.. We Dem Boyz for every jay briscoe, you’re the reason I loved ring of honor, deathmatch wrestling, I may sound like a baby, but this wrestling death has hit me so hard for some reason
I started watching SOA a few weeks ago. I just got to the funeral of Opie. He was my favorite character and I will admit I shed a few tears. Now I am obsessed with this song
I love this song man. My friends said It was great but this song described my life perfectly outside the U.S. You are very good Greg keep up the good music Greg. You My Hero.
F@@@@@@@ck.... I can not listen to this song without shedding a few tears..... This is truly one song that says everything I feel. I feel every cord, every word.... every piano key..........
Everybody said that he or she were crying while listening to this Song. But I still Closed my eyes and enjoyed this endless beautiful voice! I love this Song and the way you grow up with it

I am truly moved by your words. I hope that you are feeling well and that you can recover fully from your illness. Congratulations for admitting yourself. I am sure that wasn't easy. All the best, Greg
My first ever TH-cam comment because this song means so much to me. My friend committed suicide in 2015 and this was a song at his funeral. It means so much to me and I listen to it at least once a day 😢
when you watch this vid, think about how his father would feel, after so many years looking up the name of his own son and realising how well he raised his kid, and how proud he would be to see how well he's doing.
Mr Greg Holden, I do not know if you will ever read this. I first heard this song in SOA. I fell in love with it. My Son, plays, and composes music. I sent him an email, and said, can you please do a cover of this, and he did, and sent it to me.à. I loved it, my sons voice, and your words. The refrain, I will not be commanded, I will not be controlled, those are life statements to me, and I see my sons life in those words. We will both get tattoos, with those words. Thank you for that. Continue with your words of Freedom, and life.Father of the Rebel
My brother was a huge SOA fan, He passed away March 12, 2015. We played this at his funeral. Miss you everyday Bro xo
WOW!!!
So sad to hear, I'm a huge SOA fan as well. I have such a hard connection with this song. My birthday is March 12.. I will play this song on my birthday, as a reminder of him.
tom gilissen Thank you for the kind words :)
Enya Roos mine too
Sorry to hear Taz:(
Most underrated song of the decade, Greg holden take a bow, this is a masterpiece.
He’s a fictional character I know that. But Opie’s death and funeral still hit my soul like he was a real person. This is one of the best chosen songs to back a funeral scene ever. If I ever find a friend like Opie, I’d hope he would make this my funeral song.
It was so real at the time. Wild.
Same 😢
Not ashamed to admit I sobbed my heart out 😭😭😭😭
My twin brother was a big SOA fan, he made the desicion of ending his own life in May 2019.
When we visit his memorial place, we play this exact song, because he loved it!
I’m so sorry 💔
Peace and love.
I am so sorry.
My sincere condolences
makes me sad. I'll hope your brother is on a better place
I've found Joshua James, Noah Gundersen, and Greg Holden thanks to Sons of Anarchy, and I am very grateful.

Aye!
I’m here ❤️
Always! It's my anthem
❤️RIP
only just watched this episode (behind on sons) I have to admit it broke me , came here for this song and now it's on repeat!
23 years ago my Dad walked away. I remained back with Mom. I have waited and waited and waited for him to show up one day but it hasn't happened, yet. At that point when he left I had not the slightest clue of the hardships that lay before my Mother and me.

Whoever chose this song for Opie's wake Scene had a great taste in music. One of the best scenes in SOA
I still watch SOA and this crushes me EVERYTIME! THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATESTS!!! ALWAYS 2022

As much as i love Opie & SOA,this song is for us who have lost someone tragically or orphaned and now that i have a son i pray to live long enough for him to remember me after im gone
Here for Jay Briscoe R.I.P reach for the sky boy
Heard this on The Sons Of Anarchy and I love this song. The lyrics in this song are beautifully written.
I left my home still as a child
I walked a thousand sorry miles
To wait for my father, to gather up his tools
He said my boy you've got to run
Don't wait for me, don't wait for mum
We'll come get you, when it's safe for us to move
So I waited many years
Held back the pain behind my tears
For my father, to come find me like he said
And in that time I was alone
So many years without my home
I made brothers of a different kind instead
And in the time I didn't know
Just how hard the wind could blow
Towards disaster, and the things that I would see
I never found my father
I never found my mother
Even would I know in my lifetime I will be
A hero into the masses
To those born without chances
There's a freedom that everyone deserves
I know there's greed and there's corruption
I've seen death and mass destruction
But I'm telling you, and I hope that I'm heard
And I will not be commanded
And I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on
Without the help of my soul
And I will not be commanded
And I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on
Without the help of my soul
And I will not be commanded
And I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on
Without the help of my soul
I will not be commanded
I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on
Without the help of my soul
The first time l heard this song l cried the lyrics are very moving 🤗
I don’t think it is ‘tools’ but rather ‘truths’

This is one of those songs, that actually does its job. It hits the heart strings.
Good job.
Rest in Peace, Jay Briscoe

Beautiful song, one of the best Series of Sons of Anarchy, Miss Sons ❤️
Near impossible to fight off tears and goosebumps as this song runs.
In 3:38, this song brought out 25+ years of torment I've locked away.
Thank you.
