What happens when the joy of a sing-along also brings a few tears? You get a classic Strumbellas show.
The Toronto six-piece brought its legendary live show to CBC Music Studio 211 a few weeks back, with the live debut of its just-released record, Hope. As is customary at a Strumbellas show, a sing-along ensued. But as lead singer and songwriter Simon Ward pointed out, he writes a lot of sad songs.
"We definitely wrote some downer songs for this record ... I get real lonely on the road and I write some sad songs," he said.
So, as you are having a blast and singing along, prepare yourself: a tear might just well up in your eye.

Real music, real musicians!
Yes I totally agree! One of the reasons I love them so much is because how real they are
Listen to their first two albums if you want to see the real musicians at their realest- saw them in a small-town town hall bout 3 years ago- they were more raw and country back then, but I have to say that Simon's voice still carries the same authenticity
One of my closest friends died, I heard this song on the way back from the funeral. Rest in peace dude 1994-2016.
I'm so sorry. he's in a better place now ♡
A casket in the ground is a better place?
He got into a motorcycle accident on his way to work.
I'm sorry for your loss. Keep an eye out for random dimes. Your friend is not far ; )
Im sorry for your loss, Way to young to go. But they say the good die young. Especially doing things they love. Live a life to live life not to live life to survive. A hero, of real freedom!
"There's something in my mind that's killing me, there's something that this life's not giving me"
When the bridge starts to play.. Those lyrics are so god damn powerful man. And you can tell by the way he sings it that he really means it, he is pouring so much soul and emotion into each word. Amazing song by an amazing band
I can relate to every single lyric of this song. This is a masterpiece. There's something in my mind that's killing me. Got to let doubt and fears go. Whole album is just brilliant. Thanks Strumbellas
Me too! Every single lyric I felt deep in my heart . " there's something in my mind that's killing me " that line hit me right in the deepest part , also "there's something that this life's not giving me" . I've adopted the song as my Anthem right now 😊❤
my God guys that is a powerful song
I listen to the Strumbellas whenever I'm sad (mostly all the time) and this always get to me
This song is incredibly composed and written. Like other commenters said, it's a real shame that the youth of today don't really get a chance to listen to music like this.
There's hope! I'm 16 and myself and quite a few others from my high school just saw the strumbellas live around... the time you made your comment actually.
+zippedydoo1 I'm 15! Same here (about hearing music like this and appreciating it)
Thanks to TV, 14 year old me was lucky enough to find this AMAZING band.
I'm 15 bro and I listen to this music all the time
Sheri Chen we don't all listen to that bad rap or what ever you think we listen to.
This group pretty much kicks ass. Been listening to their stuff regularly for the past few months. Love it. Another rising band in a similar genre is Judah and the Lion. Pretty cool too.
My wife had a hard stroke and that song makes me cry. 😢
I can't even put into words how much I love you guys and your music.
Pure masterpiece made by real musicians unbelievable 🤍🤍🤍
This song is hypnotic, the sound they have is so cool, I haven't felt like this about a band since I discovered Twenty Øne Piløts
Was thinking the same thing! This band should of been spotlighted after Spirits and pushed more of their music like this song.
me too |-/
Grace Laughlin same
This song speaks to me on so many different levels the darkness, the lonliness,the mental anguish it's all here everything I'm going through. Amazing how powerful a song can be, brings me to tears every time.
This should be the new theme song for those caring for loved-ones with Dementia! I know it's mine and I now dedicate it to my mom who is slowly slipping away. We need hope for more awareness, hope for better treatment, hope for a cure! Love you mom
We lost our drummer of ten years this year. Healing music thanks.
Thanks for the share. Sorry for your loss.
Mother mother i can feel your heart break running through me every single day. 💔
i love the sound of this song and the lyrics are deep for some.but there is a peace about it..i love it when i hear it i think of my mom every time because her daughter baby daughter who was my sister passed away two years back. it still hurts but i find a little peace when i hear this song thank you strumbellas
This is the perfect song. Please Strumbrellas make more like this!
I can't even begin to explain how much this song speaks to me. I'm dealing with bi-polar and each line of this song touches on a facet of that battle. I yell the lines "Oh there's something in my mind that's killing me, there's something that this life's not giving me - would you say" it sums it all up in a nut shell. Thank you for this song!! (among others of yours!)
Thank you for the share. You're not alone. And you're right that lyric is bang on. Keep on fighting the good fight!
I really love this song and the band. I cant believe they are not more popular...
Ikr!!
Best version of this song. I love the bridge
Thank you Davis! Glad to hear you're enjoying the recording.
Is there a more perfect song to describe 2020, I dont think so
absolutely fantastic 😍😍😍 seriously in love with this song!!
deepest regrets to your dude everytime i hear this i want to burst into tears as these are the kind of words my late mother would have said to me peace brother
I love this song. Love your band. Really inspirational. Don't stop ever.
how have i never heard of these guys before!?!?!??!
"There's something in my mind that's killing me, there's something that this life's not giving me, would you say?" This song encompasses the feelings of depression spot on. Anyone who's a fan of The Strumbellas, I'd suggest reading the interview done with Simon Ward (lead singer) about why he took a long hiatus during the pandemic. He's not afraid to admit he's a long time sufferer of depression and even considered ending it all, especially during the pandemic. I respect the hell out of him. If you actually listen, Strumbella songs are not happy despite how they sound.
I fear for Simon Ward. I know he quit the band. I just hope he’s managing his depression OK. 😢
I'm in love with them 😍
Thank you, thank you, for such a beautiful song. This song truly saved me, when going through the worst possible times, it's helped so very much, so again, thank you ♡
Come to Saskatoon boys would love to see you play you guys are awesome love this song it brings tears to my eyes take care be real like you guys are have a good one
Tear in my eye. Truly a powerful song. It's just sad that most of today's youth would rather listen to future and all that nonsense when there's music like this with true meaning.
+Robert Quiroga all music has meaning to all people and different people. Please do not rag on different types of music. I can listen to 95 percent of all music and give all types a chance
I am 12 yrs old lol
Ok boomer
What a great venue up close and personal.
It opens my spectrum of a different genre ,and feel this!
Come sempre ti entrano nell'anima!!!!bravissimi!!!!
Hello! I from Mexico and I love your music, it's very perfect. (I speak spanish and I don't speak english very well).
Your engrish looks pretty good to me.
¡Thank's! I have 15 years old and I can't speak english very well, but I sing and listen this music because it's my favorite.
Tu ingles muy bien
Music is universal it doesnt matter if you speak the language you're always welcome when it comes to music

Hello Italy from Canada!
Love this song
This album in some way help me to fight a depression that was consuming me. Everytime I am struggling I listen this whole album and in a some strange way it helps. I don't know what the future brings but this is a solace to my soul when it just feel weighed...
I really heard this song one Friday afternoon in August 2016 and the song and it’s mean really stuck with me. I brought me to tears. I was in the car and had to pull over.
I battle depression and probably need to listen to this whole album more.
@@rudyando hope u feel better soon ❤️
I love writing and I love that this group writes songs that mean things. This song does hit me in the feels. I'm currently writing my first book based on my life. Think this song would be my theme song if it ever becomes a movie. I was graduating high school at 16 when I found out I was pregnant. I was over four months pregnant when my fiancée died in a car accident. My mom told me I had to either get married or put the baby up for adoption. I ended up marrying someone I didn't love to keep the baby. After a bunch of unhealthy relationships and five children I found myself alone by choice in 2002. Been single since and I've been going through a bunch of soul searching . Figured I would just write it all down and realized I actually wrote well. I've never thought of myself as beautiful nor extraordinary so I think that's why I ended up making a lot of bad choices. Now I'm 46 and realize that most likely if I die now I would die alone and with a bunch of regrets. Think that's why this song hits me hard. If I die now I would die a loser so I'm finishing up college now to become an environmental biologist and I want to travel, finish my book, and live for myself once before I'm 50.
We wish you the best, Katherine! Never stop pursuing your goals.
Katherine Adair . Just listening to this song & reading AND feeling your very open, honest, heartfelt comment you posted. Really quite an interesting intro to the subject of your book. I know some people who would like to read that book if you do write it, including me.
One thing you said particularly strikes me --- "I've never thought of myself as beautiful or extraordinary so I think that's why I ended up making a lot of bad choices." Some years ago, I met a woman who said the same thing. But she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She had never thought of herself as attractive.
She was. I can remember to this day exactly when I first saw her --- in traffic. And, seems strange but, I turned around then to try to find her. Couldn't. But 2 years later, her best friend introduced her to me ! The same woman I had passed in traffic, same car, same "vanity" plate. Anyway, your words reminded me of her. In time, I proved to her that she was truly beautiful. That took patient Love. She had never realized how attractive she was. It was baffling to me at first. But learning of her past did shed some light on her opinion of herself. She was beautiful but she had never learned of her own beauty. Her self-esteem needed some close attention. We worked on that together, that's what it took.
Have you been making progress on your book ? Another topic which you wrote about here struck me. That was about your first pregnancy and the timing of things. Sorry for your loss in that accident. The course of our lives can turn on a dime. Though it is such a testament to your Love for your baby that you got married so you could keep your own child. THAT is being a mother ! THAT is a woman ! THAT is beautiful ! In high school, I remember a young woman whose parents gave her absolutely no choice at all when they learned of her pregnancy. She had to put her child up for adoption. I think she later had 5 more children.
Your comment really rang some bells with me. Perhaps in the months since you posted this you no longer find yourself alone. That would be almost 16 years alone now ? We can still have a whole heart, a complete heart --- while being alone.
Your book sounds genuinely very interesting. As do you, Katherine.

CBC Music unbelievably magic, extremely genuine people and true hearted music
epic.
i know my darkness will never go away...i wish it would...
It will, I promise it will. We all need different things in this life you will find yours don't give up there is always hope
Just saw them up at Whistler as part of the Whistler Presents Outdoor Concert Series on August 6th 2016. We were front row as most of the tourists didn't know who they were listening to. We arrived 30 min. before their performance. Their loss.
I have not heard a song by them I do not like yet. powerful music.
This guy has talent
My 13 old son passed away 1-6-17 in a horrible accident. Life is so unpredictable. Don't forget to love ...
#love we don't know
The Good Doctor 💙
such an amazing band if only they played this at my school dances instead of most of the crap they play🎧💗
👌10/10
They coming to Peterborough Ontario in Feb I got tickets for my birthday, someone in the band is sick so got a email saying they will give me a later date. CANT WAIT MOST UNDERATED BAND IN THE WORLD,
This reminds me of something John Lennon would write back in the 70's. Gives me hope.
So, So Good! I love this band!!!
This is it. There's nothing more to say
I'm going to your all ages concert on Friday! I'm so excited
!
Have a great time!
Izzy, you and your violin bring to your band what Clarence Clemons and his saxophone brought to the E Street Band - soul
"I know that my darkness will never go away." It never does. And there is no hope. Trauma never goes away.
Everything changes at some point, hang in there, kick at the darkness til bleeds daylight 🌹
My wife had a hard stroke and that song makes me cry.
