I stopped using fentanyl in February 2019 and still clean today. This song is the best example of what my bottom was like. This song reminds me of the feeling of knowing it was finally done I couldn't do it anymore 😢. Thank you for putting it in a song helps ❤️
I used to listen and sing this album while I was detoxing from heroin. Been clean now for 7 years. Congrats to you keep going life only can get better! I can't imagine fentanyl withdrawal. From what I know it's much worse. Always happy to hear others recovery stories and successes.
LOVE seeing comments like this! I have been clean for just a few months now. I had lost literally everything but my life (thank goodness) my job, car, kids, house....I lived in a tent in the new England winter and I finally woke up one day and said "I don't want to do this anymore,I'm done" and I have been done since then. I start my new job Monday morning I have a roof over my head, and I see my children daily. Above all else, my kids deserve better than a junkie for a parent, or even worse a dead mother. So proud of you!
Every time you hear a Aaron Lewis song you just stop and listen to each word. When it’s over you wish it wasn’t. The man is a true patriot and loyal American.
Acoustic Aaron Lewis shows are the best. Covers, country, Staind, and stories from an original Rock n Roll star stripped down to just a voice and an acoustic guitar that send chills thru your body the whole show.
Mine too. I've grown up with him. Loved him since I found my love for music. He and his music, has been my ride or die so many times!!! Xxoo to Aaron Lewis!
People always say Music is the Soundtrack to life or how a song, "saved" someone's life? Well, Aaron Lewis's/Staind's music is the the soundtrack of my life and I honestly Don't know if I'd have made it 44 years without their songs, especially ones like this. Thank you, Sir.
Once of the best concerts I've been too... Someone threw dog tags on stage and he played with them on his guitar for a couple songs... One of the best environments.. I bought a shirt from the concert and constantly get complimented on it.. he's a legend
Dude, this song finally gave my son and I a proper diagnosis of ADHD for both of us and treatment instead of self medicating and if this cost a million, so be it, we owe you a million because this song changed our lives!! Seeing you at Rockville with Staind was beyond breathtaking and can't wait to see Aaron in Coconut Creek in March! Would love to have beers and other party favors with him of various types or otherwise because he epitomizes Us, and our glorious Nation that we Love so Yeah, As a retired Marine of Iraq and Afghanistan, I just feel honored that Aaron Lewis, as a public figure, stands for everything we fought for. We need more of him because he represents US!!
I met Aaron in Tampa, Florida. Got my picture with him and hung out backstage with him in 2013. He is and was a simple person with a love for his music and fans. What a guy!
This is my Brother's (who is also my best mate) favourite song.. it makes me cry listening to it, cause I know all of his pain and the shit he goes through everyday (the kinda stuff that not even the biggest mix bowl fixes).. praying for better days.. but this music helps..we are huge fans of Staind and of you Aaron. Thank you so much for the music.
I saw this guy when he still was front man for Staind at an amphitheater venue with Shinedown and Papa Roach. His vocals are still just as amazing as they were then
A huge group of us saw the same tour, by the time they got to us Papa Roach had to cancel a couple shows, it was a bummer, but Staind absolutely killed it!
Its so weird seeing him i grew up with him when we were younger. Never in a million years id thought id be watching him in concert and whatnot. Been long time since we talked he had just hit it and called me while he was on the road with korn
Truth. I feel all the feels. His words seem to be picked from my troubled soul. He is truly one of my heroes. This man knows pain. Understands it and knows others like me feel pain too. Kindred soul. I love this man and his mind. A beautiful mind. And heart.
Hard to believe this video never made shit! I watch it frequently. One of my favorites. His show at the Red Rock Casino in Vegas was awesome and looking forward to the upcoming show in Vegas with Godsmack and Staind!
Wasn’t for nothing… made me a life long fan and I’m sure I’m not the only one. The song made me a fan, the video gave it the exposure for me to find the song.
Aaron, never believe that this song and video never did shit because that is and always be a lie...... It is and always will be one of my favorite songs and videos of all times 🤩
I have loved Staind and Lewis is a remarkable soulful songwriter that has always healed my soul pain and I just love his voice. He sings with RAW, REAL EMOTIONS. I discovered these guys back in 1996 and seen them and him live now 4 times❤️❤️❤️❤️
It did way more for me that he or anyone else will ever know. This is the first time I've listened to this song in over a decade and the lyrics take me back to a time that haunts my dreams and I'm choking back tears just to make this comment. Still can't listen to the whole thing
Damn, I have to say the video for this song is absolutely amazing. The fact it isn't doing more is because the people haven't seen it enough yet. I find the whole thing to be so inspiring and uplifting, but sad and lonely at the same time. It reminds of the spiritual realm and the beauty of children, destiny, overwhelming mystery. I watch it at least a few times every week bud. But yeah, for a million bucks, we could have done something right behind my rural home for about 100 and a go pro. lol For real, maybe next time hire out your video work and save that dough. Fiverr maybe. I never have understood the need for a huge production budget when all I want to see is what is real. No cgi, no fakery. Just a damn good story and the visuals that naturally come along with it. That's just me.
Man the first time I heard this I was going to say how I say it single father to addicted two beautiful babies 11 12 but I love it I'm strong what's my name Gabriel and my son's name Aaron were chosen for the ministry but this ain't the Angels purpose to be in the ministry but my son is his name is confirmed more than me but I'm real it hurts though if this is real life I try to hide it but this is Daddy❤
Man this is a fucking hard song to get through. Every time I hear it, it's just a reminder of some things that I have to still deal with. Damn it I don't know if I will ever get over it, but I'm trying. Love you Aaron...
it cost over a million dollars... Billy Zane was the lead in the video. Probably don't hire a well known actor with no lines. Just saying, amazing song though.
Funny how they spent all that money on the official video. I always thought that video sucked, especially compared to how much I love the song. It didn't match the feel of the song. When I first saw it I thought some movie I had never heard of was using it on their soundtrack.
WHY just WHY do people go to concerts and want to talk??? Sing, sing bad. Dance, dance badly. Just shut the hell up about Johnny's soccer schedule! I wanted to hear HIM!
Aaron, don't you remember you didn't enlist in the military cause yo daddy talked you out of it. Well, that's what 'taken a bullet' really means, Not some song about a civil war. Having a civil war isn't about a man or woman sacrificing their lives for what they believe in, it's about a man or woman sacrificing their children, grandma, mama, papa, and friends, lives. If your gonna sing a song about freedom, you should sing a song about freedom, and include abundant loss in your lyrics
Ain’t free speech just a bitch? Good thing we have the freedom to say whatever we want. Write what we want. Sing what we want. Comment what we want. Express patriotism by joining or by doing what you were called to do playing music the same as some were called to serve. 🇺🇸
I'm assuming you wrote this while in the barracks huh? I'm going to need evidence of your abundant losses before I can see you as a person, thanks and stay weak friend.
It doesn't mean literally high the entire time. I believe he's referencing getting high constantly as an escape to help deaden the burden of depression though. Makes perfect sense to me, but then again I've been doing the same thing for years.
I stopped using fentanyl in February 2019 and still clean today. This song is the best example of what my bottom was like. This song reminds me of the feeling of knowing it was finally done I couldn't do it anymore 😢. Thank you for putting it in a song helps ❤️
Keep it up, you got this!
Hey that’s great and I hope you’re still doing good.
I used to listen and sing this album while I was detoxing from heroin. Been clean now for 7 years. Congrats to you keep going life only can get better! I can't imagine fentanyl withdrawal. From what I know it's much worse. Always happy to hear others recovery stories and successes.
I’m proud of you.

Agree 100%!
One of the most underrated popular Vocalists that I’ve ever heard! 🎶
I agree 100%!
He’s absolutely brilliant. You’re so correct
Acoustic Aaron Lewis shows are the best. Covers, country, Staind, and stories from an original Rock n Roll star stripped down to just a voice and an acoustic guitar that send chills thru your body the whole show.
I agree 100%!
Aaron Lewis will forever be one of my all time favorite singers.
Without a doubt, he as awesome!
What a time to be alive
All these years later, this song still gets to me. I performed this at my grandfather's funeral in 2001.
Those vocals. No words. Aaron is so blessed he can smoke and sing like that at the same time. Impressive
His voice amazes me every time!
This is one of my favorite artists of all time right here... Just a genuine dude.
Mine too. I've grown up with him. Loved him since I found my love for music. He and his music, has been my ride or die so many times!!! Xxoo to Aaron Lewis!
Aaron Lewis is my favorite singer. I have seen him 18 times now and this is my favorite song of his.
Mine too! That's awesome, it's hard to beat an Aaron show!
Ditto Ditto and Ditto!!!! LOL He is the best!
I WILL WATCH IT OVER AND OVER, IN FACT, A MILLION OR MORE TIMES, TILL THE DAY I DIE
Aaron is so good, I can watch him all day as well!
Aaron Lewis is a man I respect immensely. He seems like a seriously genuine guy. A lot of cover songs- but I find the acoustic version best.
He is so down to earth and like you said, genuine. I can't wait for his next live acoustic cd!
People always say Music is the Soundtrack to life or how a song, "saved" someone's life? Well, Aaron Lewis's/Staind's music is the the soundtrack of my life and I honestly Don't know if I'd have made it 44 years without their songs, especially ones like this. Thank you, Sir.
You're very welcome! I couldn't agree more, glad you liked it!
Once of the best concerts I've been too... Someone threw dog tags on stage and he played with them on his guitar for a couple songs... One of the best environments.. I bought a shirt from the concert and constantly get complimented on it.. he's a legend
That's very cool, truly one of the greats!

That's great to hear about you and your son! I agree with you 100%! Semper FI!
Thank you for your service Sir.💯
Aaron is the definition of a true artist. There aren't many of them any more.
We agree!
Aaron Lewis you are a Hero of mine keep writing keep singing and I will sing along!
I met Aaron in Tampa, Florida. Got my picture with him and hung out backstage with him in 2013. He is and was a simple person with a love for his music and fans. What a guy!
Nice experience!
We couldn't agree more!

I couldn't agree more, maybe even better today!
A huge group of us saw the same tour, by the time they got to us Papa Roach had to cancel a couple shows, it was a bummer, but Staind absolutely killed it!
Just curious, what amphitheater?
My favorite song to sing at Karaoke Night. When I sing it people are stopped cold they say I've never heard that song before. Love this song.
That's awesome! So many people just don't know!
Thanks for another classic cheers and beers 🍻 from Australia
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching and it's awesome that Aaron has fans from around the world! Cheers!
Prost from Germany Bayern
Love this song
This song was on repeat for a long time. It still saves me

He can make you feel what he feels, amazing every time!
Probably The Most Hauntingly Deep Song Ever Wrote
Chills, still in Dec 2021!! Aaron Lewis/Staind got me through a lot. Still does....
The way your voice cracks sends chills over me, the soul in your voice melts over me!
Without a doubt, Aaron can give you chills!
Aaron Lewis, Shaun Morgan, Ben Burnley and Brent Smith 🔥
My absolute favorite Aaron Lewis/Staind song
Man just something about this guys music man it’s so truthful, and real. The emotion and passion he puts into the songs makes you feel the music.
I couldn't agree more!
The voice is so GOOD!!!!!
Its so weird seeing him i grew up with him when we were younger. Never in a million years id thought id be watching him in concert and whatnot. Been long time since we talked he had just hit it and called me while he was on the road with korn

@@nickalicious76 same here have you heard “someone” ? One of his newest ones. It hits home for me.
This describes me perfectly !! What an epic song!!!
100% Agree!
He’s been doing it for a long time and you can go back groups and songs from number one hits and he’s been doing it . The fuck Man . Thank you
Saw him at Pechanga about 15-17yrs ago..amazing..The loud people on this video would have drinks poured on their heads!
It's always raining in my head!!!
First concert I ever been to was staind and korn
Excellent Choice!
What ever you sing is awesome
Hard to believe this video never made shit! I watch it frequently. One of my favorites. His show at the Red Rock Casino in Vegas was awesome and looking forward to the upcoming show in Vegas with Godsmack and Staind!

I'll see you later im making dinner ill be listening to your music all night ok
Happy new years to you ❤ 💕
The only good thing Fred Durst ever contributed to music was discovering Aaron Lewis
The only thing that you contributed to life was METH!!!
This is my favorite Staind song by far. Yeah the video was a little... whatever. Great song!!!
The acoustic guitar intro/pattern sounds like Default's "Wasting My Time" :)
staind forever
For sure!
Couldn't guess where the crowd was from..
Uau 😳👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷
I miss real country music.
You do realize this song isn’t from one of his country albums, right?? (It’s from the Staind album “Break The Cycle” in 2001.)
A million worth spending cuz my wife sings it with and too me. 875k due to Billy Zane 😆
I Fuckin wish ida been therr
it cost over a million dollars... Billy Zane was the lead in the video. Probably don't hire a well known actor with no lines. Just saying, amazing song though.
All u guys sayin this helped y’all shake the fix,,, keep grinding guys, leave that shit alone and walk the line. This too shall pass
Funny how they spent all that money on the official video. I always thought that video sucked, especially compared to how much I love the song. It didn't match the feel of the song. When I first saw it I thought some movie I had never heard of was using it on their soundtrack.
He’s played it better before. It’s cool
WHY just WHY do people go to concerts and want to talk??? Sing, sing bad. Dance, dance badly. Just shut the hell up about Johnny's soccer schedule! I wanted to hear HIM!
I agree 100%! I assume everyone that buys a ticket actually wants to hear him sing….nope, every time ruined by people just chitchatting about nothing.
Amen 💯❗
Still have demons.sick
Name a better male vocalist - you can't.
Not anymore that’s for sure!
Remember when Fred Durst dictated which bands were cool? Lame.
Aaron, don't you remember you didn't enlist in the military cause yo daddy talked you out of it. Well, that's what 'taken a bullet' really means, Not some song about a civil war. Having a civil war isn't about a man or woman sacrificing their lives for what they believe in, it's about a man or woman sacrificing their children, grandma, mama, papa, and friends, lives.

Pretty sure u missed the point of the song man, but hey at least u have the freedom to get it wrong
I'm assuming you wrote this while in the barracks huh? I'm going to need evidence of your abundant losses before I can see you as a person, thanks and stay weak friend.
permanently high for 30 years don't make sense
It doesn't mean literally high the entire time. I believe he's referencing getting high constantly as an escape to help deaden the burden of depression though. Makes perfect sense to me, but then again I've been doing the same thing for years.
If he was prescribed adhd meds, it does make sense.
That's a helluva mental handicap you got there.
