This song was inspired by the book "Veronica decides to die". In the book the protagonist Veronica, who lives in Slovenia, is so bored with her life she decides to overdose on sleeping pills (hence the first two lines of the song). She doesn't kill herself though, and ends up in a mental hospital, where she finds out she has a week to live. The video just sort of reinforces the story the song tells, in a way that some people may not see/understand.
I have just realized that this song was dedicated to the book after finishing it. I used to listen to Billy Talent a lot in my early teenage years and I was recalling this song in my mind without remembering the artist and the whole lyrics. This took me on a trip down memory lane :)
I mean, dont get me wrong the leadsinger does a great job, but this gitarrist and bassist are just over the top. Houly fuck that is so amazing.. Never saw a band with such perfect voccals, while also having the most awesome melodys ever made..
This song came out when I was 15 at a time where I was heavily fixating on finding a way out of a chaotic home environment by any means. I can't tell you how much this album meant to me, and how seen it makes me feel even to this day. After finding a way out, I "unravelled" like the protagonist in this vid, a harrowing but necessary part of becoming. Ten years later, I can def say I'm so glad that I didn't leave this world behind, and that I really would give anything to mosh out to this live. Love Billy Talent forever, thanks for giving us true artistry, and something honest and meaningful to connect with.
I remember when I was 10 and this album came out really liking this song but never knowing what it truly meant. That has changed now and as a person I respect this song a lot
@@saskatoon16 the “Saint Veronica” in the song is a girl who tries to kill herself. Hence lyrics like “now she clings to life inside a hospital” and “Veronika, Saint Veronika you can’t leave this world tonight”
They found an empty bottle on her windowsill The day her mother lost her sleeping pills She was sick and tired of being invisible Hard to see in colour when you're miserable Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind So, be strong enough to hold onto us We're still right here by your side No one ever thought that she was capable And the damage done is irreversible Now, she clings to life inside a hospital Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall Always said her life was never meant to be Stuck here living someone else's dream Well, beyond your window, there is so much more Even every prison has an open door Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind So, be strong enough to hold onto us It's just not your time to die And while the angels sleep, all of the devils are awake Waiting to steal your love right outside of Heaven's gate And all the sacred hearts can't numb the feeling from the pain 'Cause when the drugs don't work, you're gonna curse his holy name Damn, God, yeah! God, yeah! Damn, God, yeah! God, yeah! Veronika, Saint Veronika You can't leave this world behind Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika We're still right here by your side So, be strong enough to hold onto us You can't leave this world behind Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika It's just not your time to die
To start as a very young RATM cover band then expand it into a very impressive international band with own style and boat load of hits and great music , I hear ya.. but there is no best band, just alot of shitty ones.. Billy Talent is among the elite ..
This video means a lot to me, because i grew up with very strict parents who never let me go out on my own ecxept school until i was 19 and moved out. When i moved out i had more freedome, but because of the way i grew up i'm very shy which made it hard to find new friends or take the courage to make new experience and go out of my comfort zone. I often feel like the doll, who could escape, but is still stuck on her home. Somehow this video is very sad, but on the other hands its soothing to see your feelings reflected this way.
@@ryleycarroll7184 What is the benefit of pointing that out? That is what makes music, literature and other art forms so amazing. Everyone has their own interpretation, often influenced by life events. So yes--technically--you're right, at the bare minimum that is what the song is about. If you look a bit deeper, in this beautiful rendition of Veronica Decides to Die by Billy Talent, it is never stated whether or not Veronica dies, and I truly think they were trying to convey that sometimes conditions like depression can blur things out, but even if you can't see it, there's always somebody there for you. That's my interpretation, but I can also honestly see what Lala Blala is saying, and they are completely entitled to relate their experiences to the song. I hope I don't come across as spiteful, because I know we all say things we shouldn't or miscommunicate what we say. But I do think what you said was very unnecessary. And to Lala Blala, if you come across this--your voice matters, and I am sorry that you went through that, but I am a big believer that the tough times we go through help our development as individuals, and I'm sure everything has worked out--more or less--for you. Loved your interpretation!
@@noahdexter7643 Well said!! I couldn't have thought of a better way to word that, to be completely honest with you. And to @LalaBlala I also just got out of a situation with strict parents who were probably exactly like yours and I am probably one of the younger viewers here haha😅😆I'm so sorry you had to go through all that, I know your pain. I'm just happy that right now I'm out of the situation and I got out earlier than you did--I'm 17 btw. Sometimes you don't know an environment was toxic until you get out of that situation. When you've been through so much and use music as a coping mechanism like I do....music speaks to you differently. With the wisdom you earned through experience you can slowly begin to grow as a person. It may not seem like it sometimes, but looking back at the situation you were in versus where you are now I hope you can say it's been better. Just focus on the aspects in your life that you can control, because in a world right now that seems like everything is out of control think of the small things, like when you wake up in the morning and what you'll eat for breakfast and what goals will you accomplish today can be a small step :)
after being a hardcore billy talent fan for 6 years, i have finally understood this song and the music video. i guess i just wasn't listening closely enough. but wow...its so tragically beautiful and sad. and i think that every member of billy talent should feel very proud of themselves for making such a great song.
The symbolism in this video is fantastic. Very well thought out, very well executed. Song is amazing. Shame it doesn't have several million views, it deserves it.
I have been searching for this song since 2009-2010. I grew up in an Eastern country and my 10-11 year old self didn’t speak English well enough to understand a foreign accent. This song used to play on a channel called Hollywood and in between movies, they would play songs from random genres without the name of the artist and the song. I had never been able to find out the name of the song except for the chorus tune that stuck to my head up till now and the words 'Said/Saint Veronika’. Finally found the song through Google music search.
I'm french and a true rap passionate, I discovered Billy Talent while playing SSX I think, always listened since. I'm literally just shocked this music has so little views. The melody is awesome, the voices incredible, instruments, text, everything. How is it possible ? I love how the electric guitar mixes so well with his voice it's really impressive, I usually hate metal or screams in songs but this one has something special to me, hard to describe, sort of an osmosis.
When this came out I was 14 and I LOVED this song. But I never really got what it is about. Now listening to it 10 years later and omg this song became even better!
I don’t know why this song flashed in my head briefly, I used to listen to this in middle school. I feel this song saved me as I look back on it and I didn’t even realize 💜
I've been listening to this amazing band for over 10 years long before I was capable of understanding the lyrics (I didn't speak english back than) Now it's a pleasure to appreciate the meanings of the songs :)
I saw Billy Talent live last summer here in Victoria on a whim. Had no idea who they were, much less that they were from Toronto, which I fled from 34 years ago. They rekindled my joy for music, I am now a lifelong fan.
DiZastur this is one of the greatest band in the whole world! And they are so underrated, unfortunately. But their sound, vocal, lyrics making them special and brilliant. (I highly recommend you to listen their trilogy).
This song is so great. I've been listening to it on repeat for a while now, and I can feel the emotions bursting out, through every riff, beat, and note. It's perfect.
Still listening in 2022 and will never stop, fucking love this band! When I was in the mental hospital this song played through my head on repeat and helped me make it through. I will always keep this band close to my heart and respect them!
I liked this album since it came out years ago, was so in love with the lyrics and lead singer lol!. It spoke to my experiences. It's now 2024 and the songs are still awesome! Love you billy talent! Please keep going!
You Don't Know How Fucking Long I've Been Looking For This Song. I Didn't Know The Lyrics. All I Knew Was It Had 'Saint' In It, The Beat, And The Music Video. I Also Didn't Know The Song Would Mean So Much To Me.
I used to not care for this song but now I listen to it every single day. I love it so much: the drums🔥 the bass🔥 the guitar🔥 the vocals🔥 Thank you Billy Talent for making the most beautiful music ever❤❤
Billy Talent: just putting this out there...we're big fans, and think you could do a killer rendition of the classic Johnny Cash song, Ring of Fire. With a previously unreleased album (Out Among the Stars) dropping March 25th, Johnny Cash is being resurrected over a decade after his death and I think you guys could catch some big American audiences with a new version of his revered and relatively uncovered tune. I see a guerrilla performance in Buffalo coinciding with the revitalization of the city’s park system - shoot a quick video promoting city-building and civic pride, showcase yourselves and Buffalo parks, get it viral, contribute your efforts to charity - a win win win... you should do it! We want to make it happen and if you act soon, how about you have a military tank around during the shoot?!? With every respect intended, please let us know if you’re into it - no one could add the reverence of you guys!!
Nick Overholt Nick, wouldn't it!?! Ian and Ben would SO own "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash! Can you hear those vocals? Those guitar riffs and treatments? Bass and percussion both, FILL the song out, completing it. I can hear the magnificent sound now. WARNING: As Brendan said under "Viking Death March", don't EVEN think about them going down the line towards a career in country music - not a good thing, doesn't end well...for anybody. Thanks Dude!
Music changes all the time, What you're saying is that you arent willing to accept the new styles of music, I personally dont like them but it's no reason to bash the people who listen to them
I love nowadays music but I do wish that more people liked Billy Talent. I love 2000s rock and post-hardcore and unfortunately this type of music is not popular anymore
Tbh when they first came out in my teens they was no where near as known as they deserved, but in their music scene people loved them, but yea they shoulda go so much more. One of my nostalgic bands I always visit now and then
Everyone saying that the notes and riffs hes playing isn't that complex or difficult to play don't really understand that music doesn't have to be entirely composed of complexity and the difficulty of variation of notes. If you look at "teen spirit" - Nirvana , its literally like four chords in the entire song. What makes it an iconic song is the emotion/vibe of that bang it gives you when you hear it. Doesn't have to have any crazy solos to make a song great. Any person can wank off on a fuckn guitar, but to make music even if its composed of four chords, if they can put thier inspiration, vibe, twist and feelings into it, that makes a great song subjectively. What also helps is when people can relate to it and vibe with the song. That riff at 2:10 is fuckn awesome, even if it is a "easy" riff to play. Thanks Billy Talent, you guys fuckn rock. 🤘
as a hardcore Muse fan, the main riff and bass line really resonated with me. when this showed up in my recommended I thought "could this possibly be a Muse song I haven't heard before?" you can definitely hear the influence, the riff sounds very much like Hysteria with those open strings between every note and the bass has that same Muse signature tone. Very nice!
@@captainpain_qc7982 yep, it's pretty good too. The song is strangely familiar, I thought I wouldn't have recognised it. Sounds a little less Musey and more unique for sure
To this day ever since release. This intro gives me the bumps. Let me live through such different phases of my life. But when the scream from Ben hits. One of their best tracks ever released
Saw them 3 days ago on a festival and I really loved it how they played Nothing To Lose and this song after they spoke about Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. One of my favourite bands and now more then ever!
Being a person from another timeline i get it.. but I make the best of it i can. Our MISSION IS TO BE OURSELVES AND TRY TO CHANGE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE TO FAITH AND HONOUR 🎖.
Thats ian. And yeah u know why ? They both accept to enphasize the lead singer despite the fact they sing a bit off key. Coltrane was famous with sax playing for the same reason - playing a bit off key
I had the same when I was alone with my pregnacy... No one was there for me, so my baby is Maryanne Veronika now. :) This song helps me through this bad time... She was listening Billy Talent when she was in my belly and she was dancing there with their music! :)
Such an underrated song by Billy Talent. Impressive screams by the singer as well.
one of my all time favorite
Yeah, it's my favourite Billy Talent Song
This Suffering is my fav
since when was it underrated? lul white sparrows is still my fav tho :3
It is a little overshadowed by Rusted From the Rain and Devil on My Shoulder. I definitely think this one is the best from BTIII
These guys really know what means to WRITE a song :)) Incredible words in every single song
Nice I got this comment to 69 likes.
Well it's after a book by Paulo Coelho - Veronika decides to die.
THAT'S write!!
Empathic writing and Passionate emotions
The part about the frozen waterfall was dope as fuck i wonder if they came up with it

Eon I
thx dude, i actually wondered, what the story behind the vid was.
Eon OMG I LIVE IN SLOVENIA
Thats brutal!

They're truly unique
pikachu?
Billy talent is just amazing.
Don't forget the backing vocals, especially 2nd verse
thats canadian rockers for ya
Riff that starts at 2:10 is sick
The riff itself is nothing incredibly special, but combined with the effects he's using makes it sound amazing!
best riff ever (for me)
Yeah
Listen to Muse - Hysteria 🤘🏻🔥
eh not that good

Same
I thought it was she was restrain by her family.

She was sick and tired of being invisible
Hard to see in colour when you're miserable
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So, be strong enough to hold onto us
We're still right here by your side
No one ever thought that she was capable
And the damage done is irreversible
Now, she clings to life inside a hospital
Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall
Always said her life was never meant to be
Stuck here living someone else's dream
Well, beyond your window, there is so much more
Even every prison has an open door
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So, be strong enough to hold onto us
It's just not your time to die
And while the angels sleep, all of the devils are awake
Waiting to steal your love right outside of Heaven's gate
And all the sacred hearts can't numb the feeling from the pain
'Cause when the drugs don't work, you're gonna curse his holy name
Damn, God, yeah!
God, yeah!
Damn, God, yeah!
God, yeah!
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika
We're still right here by your side
So, be strong enough to hold onto us
You can't leave this world behind
Oh, Veronika, Saint Veronika
It's just not your time to die
Probably the best band of all time
Finally.
100% the best

Lala Blala I fucking hate parents like that. Seriously, those who treat their children in such manner deserve to die of aids
You are saved because you know what aches and torments you..that's half the battle won
The song isn't about running away from your parents actually, sorry. It's about overdosing on sleeping pills and dying.

My fave thing about BT was always how raw their instruments sound. Unique as hell. So many years passed and now i'm 26 and still listening to them.

haha finding the song must've felt really good
What country?
The song , try honesty , was filmed in an abandoned mental hospital in my hometown Whitby Ontario
@@bookreaderson I grew up in India. I found this song while I was living in Ontario, Canada.
@@Themetaphysician1999 that’s so ironic. Did u know the alanis Moriset. The singer from Ontario , wrote a hit song called ironic lol
I've listened to this track a thousand times and I might a thousand more.
There's no way I'll ever get enough of this track. It's just amazing!!
I think its the beast song i ever heard in my life... the riff at 2:10 to the "damn god" is so amazing!!!
danik girouard yeah this guitar riff is something rare
+drdominic 7 Muse has some similar riffs to this one.
i don't mean to be one of those people, but it say "dear god", not "damn god". but i agree. i love the guitars in Billy Talent songs.
+MusicIsMyLIfe1202 *says
To me it says " Dear Me " im glad to see im wrong , but the rules of psychology could be at play .
solo gets me everytime
this guitar solo is the best ever. i love it!!

This song is a life saver ❤
I was a suicidal child and this song would make me cry everytime it would play on TV. I think this song actually helped me in a way.
I don’t know why this song flashed in my head briefly, I used to listen to this in middle school. I feel this song saved me as I look back on it and I didn’t even realize 💜
Still watching this video since 2010. Never get old and always excite me
There aren't many songs period that can get me to jam out in public like this one!!! hands down my favorite BT song!!
I've been listening to this amazing band for over 10 years long before I was capable of understanding the lyrics (I didn't speak english back than)
Now it's a pleasure to appreciate the meanings of the songs :)
man the same with me :D
just not 10 , 8 years :D
how could anyone not like them!!!!!
I saw Billy Talent live last summer here in Victoria on a whim. Had no idea who they were, much less that they were from Toronto, which I fled from 34 years ago. They rekindled my joy for music, I am now a lifelong fan.
DiZastur this is one of the greatest band in the whole world! And they are so underrated, unfortunately. But their sound, vocal, lyrics making them special and brilliant. (I highly recommend you to listen their trilogy).
Based on a book. Loved this song so much I read that book and it literally changed the course of my life.
That bass is phenomenal
Talent is much more than part of the name for this group
The bridge in this song is the best thing they have ever written. So epic.
2020 anyone?
This was one of my favs when it was on much more count down
lemme put 2021 / 2022 / 2023 this is one of many favs from them, but this one ranks on my top 3
2024!!!!!!!
Ben has such a wonderful scream
This song is so great. I've been listening to it on repeat for a while now, and I can feel the emotions bursting out, through every riff, beat, and note. It's perfect.
Best canadian band. Period
This video is beautiful, creepy and incredibly dark and serious all at the same time
U guys were and surely are ahead of your time
2:07 for pure beast.
runescape
Billy Talent has the best music videos clips of all bandss history
Still listening in 2022 and will never stop, fucking love this band! When I was in the mental hospital this song played through my head on repeat and helped me make it through. I will always keep this band close to my heart and respect them!
I liked this album since it came out years ago, was so in love with the lyrics and lead singer lol!. It spoke to my experiences. It's now 2024 and the songs are still awesome! Love you billy talent! Please keep going!
That nice riff followed by an amazing high vocal scream "dear god" really god me.
Denial, not dear god
Hate to break it to ya chief, he's damning God
My name is Weronika and this song is my sign from Universe that I can't give up.
Soy de Mexico, y su música me salvo en muchos momentos de mi adolescencia, gracias, son de lo mejor
Esta banda saca canciones que nos marcan de por vida
You are awesome and the video, too :D
You Don't Know How Fucking Long I've Been Looking For This Song. I Didn't Know The Lyrics. All I Knew Was It Had 'Saint' In It, The Beat, And The Music Video. I Also Didn't Know The Song Would Mean So Much To Me.
I used to not care for this song but now I listen to it every single day. I love it so much: the drums🔥 the bass🔥 the guitar🔥 the vocals🔥 Thank you Billy Talent for making the most beautiful music ever❤❤
2019!!! STILL ONE OF THE GREAT SONG

I'm sorry, Ian has the backup vocals of an angel, he adds so much
3 years ago i started playing guitar, i still struggle to play this... I love this song

The level of nostalgia here is f***in unreal. I still go to their concerts when I can
is this band just underrated or is it ppl's tastes have changed and nowadays most ppl just don't appreciate great music anymore?
People make what sells. Right now sex, drugs and softcore edm sell. theres more music and better music now a days. Just gotta find it.
Music changes all the time, What you're saying is that you arent willing to accept the new styles of music, I personally dont like them but it's no reason to bash the people who listen to them

as a hardcore Muse fan, the main riff and bass line really resonated with me. when this showed up in my recommended I thought "could this possibly be a Muse song I haven't heard before?" you can definitely hear the influence, the riff sounds very much like Hysteria with those open strings between every note and the bass has that same Muse signature tone. Very nice!
yeah, definitely! that kind of riff kicks ass too. this one sure sounds like Hysteria, but the one opening for Devil in a Midnight mass stands apart!
@@DyssLock thanks, i'll be sure to check it out!
@@joaorichter9970 did you check it??
@@captainpain_qc7982 yep, it's pretty good too. The song is strangely familiar, I thought I wouldn't have recognised it. Sounds a little less Musey and more unique for sure
I love how each one of their songs tell such tales..
THIS CHARACTER DESIGN IS EPIC！
put a human in a doll
just fall into the Uncanny valley
LAUGHED SO HARD!!
Gotta be the one. 2024, soon to be the quarter of the century. These guys still hit hard. For me, at least. Gotta load the next song, brb.
Ok, I wasn't planning to sleep anyway...
Take some sleeping pills ;)
kappa
why
Ever seen the video? :D
Az su6to!!!! yeaaa
To this day ever since release. This intro gives me the bumps. Let me live through such different phases of my life. But when the scream from Ben hits. One of their best tracks ever released
Music just aint the same these days........
LOVE on the bass solo !! respect
Iv been looking for this song sines 2010.
Was it worth it.
Yorke the kaiser von Kintzel If its Billy Talent im certain the search was worth it
Saw them 3 days ago on a festival and I really loved it how they played Nothing To Lose and this song after they spoke about Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington. One of my favourite bands and now more then ever!
2:07 I love this part
From the first time this came out to présente, this is my LIFE song! Needed it again today 🙏🏼❤️🔥
I am bipolar 2 and I get really fucking depressed. This song gets me through.
I can not explain how this song scratches every itch and pain in my brain since middle school
Hello from 2018
Being a person from another timeline i get it.. but I make the best of it i can. Our MISSION IS TO BE OURSELVES AND TRY TO CHANGE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE TO FAITH AND HONOUR 🎖.
*put lifesize doll out of room"...try to sleep...never sleep again
"So stay strong-ica, and hold on-ica!"
Seriously though love this song. This band has really grown on me over the years.
It's actually "So be strong enough, to hold onto us". I'm only commenting this because I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
Ender I was definitely being sarcastic.
He sounds like Daron Malakian!
I never even noticed until now.... Gonna go rethink my existence..
Yup
Thats ian. And yeah u know why ? They both accept to enphasize the lead singer despite the fact they sing a bit off key. Coltrane was famous with sax playing for the same reason - playing a bit off key
@@axellaverre8696 hes talking about the singer not the guitarist dumbass
no he does not
THX A LOT BILLY TALENT !!!!
“While the angels sleep, all of the devils are awake”
Just saw them yesterday in Sherbrooke QC, that 2:07 breakdown was fucking insane man, favorite part of the whole show
Flipando cada vez que escucho este tío cantar, me parece realmente una banda poco valorada, siendo de las mejores bandas punk rock.
the bridge in this is sick
who's listening in 1952?
Me , i made timetravel real
Shut up. Stupid ass comment.
Я здесь!🎉
Da war ich dabei 👍🏻
Nosca vae fanteh

2019?
I'm 23 and those scenes at the end of the video give me goosebumps just as they used to back in my teen times

Most underrated song
Baker Family from Resident Evil 7.

they take the ideia from Billy Talent. q
I had the same when I was alone with my pregnacy... No one was there for me, so my baby is Maryanne Veronika now. :) This song helps me through this bad time... She was listening Billy Talent when she was in my belly and she was dancing there with their music! :)
F por veronika
