Whether you wear your scars on your skin or on your soul, wear them with pride. They are not marks of what has been destroyed but reminders of what you have survived. Each line is a victory over what could have destroyed you, yet you won.
I’m a disabled firefighter a burning building fell on me 5 years ago I have a TBI and PTSD this video is triggering and healing thank you. Your music helps many.
As a retired Firefighter of 26 years of service I can say that this video is absolutely true for many brothers and sisters in our profession. The pain they deal with is unbelievable. Luckily I made it through healthy, but some don't. Disturbed is an amazing band and I actually get tears listening to this song....great band all around
My cousin is retired and dealing with cancer. His last fire he fought was the Rodeo Chedsky fire in the WhiteMountains. Not many people started helping out the firefighters until George Strait opened up his home and gave them a place to rest. The first restaurant I remember sending them food was Mr.Goodly's a pizza place. It was followed by another huge fire on Mt.Lemon. Most people in Tucson don't even know that on the back side we have a zip line and a cave. Distrubed also has helped me deal with lots of things the past couple of years.
@user-gd9vc8go3c Thanks for appreciating the hard work we do. I come from a family of firefighters in Newark, NJ. It's nice that good people like you give us praise. Be well.
As a firefighter/paramedic with 27 years In emergency services this hits home. Disturbed wasn't my type of music. I'm a country guy thru and thru. However disturbed has become one of my go to bands. Great music great people. Fight the good fight.
OH Yes. Love the Highwaymen, and all the way back to he Lonesome Sound of Hank Williams Sr..... but when I found Disturbed"s "Sound of Silence ". . .something happened. The furry and the sadness and the power of that voice overtook me and this ancient soul of mine found a new path to explore. I'm 76 now... intend to keep exploring as long as I draw breath............................
I'm 72 with a broken body constantly wracked by pain, but I'm sitting here crying my eyes out on a binge watch of Disturbed videos. David Draiman has so much emotion and fire and his band provide the perfect base for his vocals, I found you after listening to "The Sound of Silence" and I will follow where you lead me, thank you.
I'm crying to Joanne...I'm 60 in 2 weeks..shattered my heel and broke off a chunk of bone under my ankle in August. I can barely walk always in pain and this particular injury never heals. And I'm losing my hair and eyesight. I guess I should be grateful for the 50 good years I had. Coming over to listen to Disturbed brings me to tears and I get angry for feeling sorry for myself. How does the proverb go about I once was a man that had no shoes, and then I met a man that had no feet kinda deal. Disturbed puts it all in perspective. And I love them for that.
@@spacecorpse3212 Although I don't doubt there are many cures available or soon to be available, that isn't how healthcare works anymore. It's a for profit organization that only cares about the almighty dollar. We're worth far more incapacitated and in pain than if we're healthy. Call me a liar, but check your bill the next time you go in hollering in pain for a completely ruptured disc in your L4-L5 and they tell you that it's muscle spasms without any tests performed charge you $191 for a single generic Tylenol (that won't touch the pain) and $48 to bring it to you in a paper cup and to come back if it doesn't get better in a day or two. Or when you get a bill for almost $250,000 for a single round of chemo.
This album saved my life. Listened to it, over and over, until I started to see the light. My darkest days are over. Don’t know If you guys will see this comment, but Thank You! From the bottom of my heart.
Same, three spine surgeries, severe nerve damage... before my last, I was in a very dark place. This song and friends and family and God brought me thru it.
I'm a u.s.m.c for 12 year's I can really understand where you are coming from brother God bless you keep rocking out for life God will take care of you happy new year brother take care of yourself!!!! ¶¶∆∆∆∆∆∆∆
@@larrymhorningjrgodblesstot6122 I grew up with all these mental health issues tried to understand why I was dealt a bad hand in life. Still surviving idk why
I'm an injured firefighter and was considering taking my life tonight. This song came on the radio in my truck so I had to pull it up on youtube. I don;t think this happened by chance tonight. Thank you Disturbed
Anthony Leandro, no my friend. Even when things seem like they're at their worst, even when it seems like there's no one there who cares, things are never really that bad. Things get better.
DoTheDoo84 you are not alone brother. We are all eating a shit sandwich out here just some people have more bread. But you're not alone, not for one second🤘🤘
Watching this during the LA wildfires of 2025 and I want to say thank you to firefighters everywhere for all they do keeping us safe at immense risk to their own lives.
On April 9th it will be 30 years since I broke my neck in a car accident, paralyzing me from the neck down. Music has been the one thing that has kept me going through the years and songs like this. You would be amazed at how much we take for granted in life, especially the little things, that you end up missing the most.
This song, it transcends any one trauma, and encapsulates every trauma ever felt by anyone. It’s more than a song…..an anthem for healing. Thanks Disturbed. I hope you all decide to release a new album!
My father passed away due to cancer in March this year and he used to give me a lot of advices, like mentioned in the lyrics. This music reminds me so much of him... it makes me cry of how much I miss him and of happiness of having had a wonderful dad. Dad, wherever you are, I hope you know I love you... and I miss you and you'll always be in my heart and thoughts...
You May Don’t Know Me & You Don’t Know Me I Know Your are Going Through we Know Like to Lose The Love One In The Family We need Help By Therapy It Will Help Us To Stay Busy It Helps Me It Will Maybe Would Help You as Well Just In Case
My girlfriend dedicated this song to me cause she loves me despite all of my disabilities. I cried with joy the first time she told me of this song. Best band ever and best girlfriend/best friend ever.
Psst brother : Potential cure for cancer : metformin and ppar-delta antagonist. Cancer cells due to their rate of division require considerably more energy in order to survive compared to normal cells. Ppar-delta is the chemical switch which changes the cells metabolism from glucose to fats. There are studies on metformin in which the patients have had considerable reduction in tumours , however in some the cancer metastasized. The link is that cancer uses the ppar-delta switch to use fats and "migrates" to a different part of the body in which it can use fats. These two substances together could be used to starve the cancer cells , however this will obviously have a knock over effect on normal cells and there need to be studies done on dosage and intervals of administration. If the subject has a higher body fat percentage then t3 and ppar-delta agonist can be used.
My wife and I are going on 20yrs married when I returned home from Iraq she knew I wasn’t myself but she didn’t give up on me my son was born while I was there he’s 17 now . You have a keeper Luis give her a big hug for me . Hooah
"Sometimes darkness can show you the light." Sometimes it takes near breaking to show you the good in your life, the good that gives you meaning and peace.
My experience is different. I lost my girlfriend and myself on memorial day in 1995. After a great weekend camping on a lake, well, to sum up the night, I went down on my motorcycle and her head broke on mine. It took her till June 3rd to die from traumatic brain injury. I was able to get underneath her after the bike flipped, but it wasn't enough to save her from harm. She died and yet I live. If there is a god, and this was his plan, I despise everything he represents. Much like my father, the only thing it taught me is hate and self hate. There is no reason why a choir girl should have died when a piece of shit like me lived. That's proof enough that there is no light and no happy ending when we die
@@stubbornalso6772 I am so sorry... You are in great pain, but bitterness and hate will destroy you. You are not a piece of shit! Be true to your girlfriend, be true to the person she saw and loved. That is what she wants for you. I do not believe God wants what happened, but I do believe he can draw good out of it, if you let him. I wish you peace, comfort and healing.
I went thru a lot of things at my old school (im 16 btw) and that included sa. But if it wasnt for the shit i went thru at that school, i wouldnt have moved schools and found my best friend. She helped me get thru a bad depressive period and i am so thankful. So, yes, darkness can show you the light sometimes.
Near breaking...ha some of us have to walk down the dark tunnel till we reach the end to realize the " light" doesn't have to be a freight train but can be sunshine!!!!
Cerebral aneurysm 1990 , full paralysis on one side, surgeon told me to thank god for a full recovery. Love this song, and it makes think about the ones less fortunate.
Weirdest thing? David Draiman was never supposed to be a singer, if he had followed his parent's wishes and the path they wanted him to go down. He was supposed to be a hassidic rabbi, trained as well to be a hazzan (Jewish musician/singer), but his dark days of the 90s ("Inside the Fire" is the rawest song he's written because he's actually experienced the core message of the song) woke him up to realize that that path wasn't for him. He used all his training, however, and practiced his singing before auditioning with like 20 bands a month in Chicago. Most didn't think he fit, the only band that recognized the untouched and amazing goldmine that is Draiman's voice was Distrubed, who needed a singer after the original one left. Dan Donegan (guitarist in the band) was so impressed with his ability to sing both the original songs as well as adding his interpretation of how they should be sung, and his range, grit, and ability to overtone sing impressed the hell out of Dan and the band, who were looking at each other like "holy shit, we've found our singer." Also, as far as I know, he's the only metal frontman that consistently uses overtone in songs. Other singers can do it, but David was (literally) born to do it, with the way his throat biology is structured. His training in canting (religious chanting/singing, most famously known through Gregorian chants) developed that ability to a good level. You can hear it even in this song... listen at 4:05 as he holds the longer "light" word and pay sspecific attention to 4:07 where the fry in his vocal chords deepens, but the clean above it is the overtone. He's literally singing two notes at once. I think the only other singers I've heard use that exact same technique, at least in metal,(a growl/fry/grit under a clean overtone), are Will Ramos of Lorna Shore (the high fry's of Into The Hellfire), and Floor Jansen of Nightwish (the snarling growls of Yours Is An Empty Hope).
Even I'm not a firefighter and just an ordinary girl that is still struggling of great darkness, depression and humiliation of people. This song brings me light.
Even since my wife of 30+ years of marriage passed away unexpectedly is when I found Disturbed. Not only this song but how on to memories are just two of my favorite songs from Disturbed. And I can’t tell you how many times I keep coming back to this amazing band!
Always remember that God, the creator of the universe loves you and that you are fearfully and wonderfully made! 😊 Jesus is the Way! Not religion but relationship
Being a firefighter this song inspires me to do more and stay strong. I fell in love with the song before seeing the video brings more meaningful feels for me. I had to rehab to get back after being out on a medical injury. Great song!
I fell into Disturbed via Sound of Silence like so many others and recognized the pure art they create. I attended my first rock concert last year as an 80th birthday gift to myself. I hope to celebrate my 90th and beyond with them
I really hope you guys know what you do to others with your music. This is how I picture my wife of 19 years this December who has dealt with the ugliness of my PTSD from 4 tours in Iraq and has made me a man again. I owe her my life and thank you for this video to show her how I feel about and think of her. She has saved me by showing me the good still left inside and buried my monster. Again, Thank you.
I try not to let hope become a memory but this last year has made that very difficult, being told i'll never walk again, becoming a widow at 43 and being told i have cancer, even a curable one has all been too much. I love this band and this song in particular really speaks to me, thank you guys for giving us such great music
If one thing is for certain, is that the impossibilities of today, become the possibilities of tomorrow. Love is always with you, it surrounds you. Look to see the light in all. I'm sorry to hear of your circumstance but with love I wish you well.
Kat Cornish I can not even began to understand what you must be going thru..but I know if this song helps a lil you should check out "There will be a day" by Jeremy Camp perspective changer
The light is always brighter in complete darkness. This song has spoken to me in different ways over the years and I have to be thankful for the darkness I’ve come through. Been thankful for this band for 20 years!
Everytime i hear a Disturbed song, I say this is my favorite song. Fact of the matter is, they are by far the best band I have ever listened to and I haven't heard a song that disappointed.
after my wife of 12 years walked out in may , I suffered a massive heart attack witch lead to a stroke in june,Im lucky to be around,this song has helped me get through these dark times!! Love this band!!
Stay strong Bradley! I live with chronic pain ( Rheumatoid Arthritis and Peripheral Neuropathy ) and a bad heart....but have not let any of it keep me down! I listen to this song at least twice a day just to keep the creative fires inside of me flowing! ( After 30 years in retail management I had to retire because of the chronic problems, and then rediscovered my passion for art! )
Bradley....i feel ya. My wife left me after 15 years together because I have scoliosis with arthritis in my spine and was an undiagnosed bipolar with ptsd, which she exacerbated by the way she emotionally neglected and then abandoned my daughter and I..... after we moved 1400 miles from everyone and everything I knew... My whole world crumbled and after 4 failed suicide attempts I'm still here because of 2 things... My daughter, and music like this song. ...not all scars are on the outside... Peace brotha
"Don't let hope become a memory" - that hits me so dang hard. I have given up on hope, it's a drug I was addicted to that clouded my vision, created denial in me about the reality of familial rejections, events that caused PTSD in me, and I just cannot ever hope again. I will always be broken.
it was five years ago, a dark time of my life, was going through a living hell. This song, this one song was playing nonstop during those times. I may be not succeded in the end, but at least I'm not feeling alone walking that steeps road and still alive to this day. I'm forever grateful for this song. Thank you, Disturbed.
The light at the end of the tunnel need not be a freight train,!!! It can be sunshine if you want it to be, believe me,40 years a junkie now I'm 1 year clean
Today my grandfather got admitted into ICU, unable to breathe on his own. I've listened to many songs, all reminding of the inevitable. All, but this one. I've heard this song MANY times before. But not when my world was crumbling in this magnitude. To say I love this band and song would be an understatement.
@Soloman Grundy truly it's okay. He's still alive in our hearts an memories. We're more grateful that we got to know him and had as much as time with him as we did.
I'm 55, I LOVE this band! I LOVE this song! I am more than just a little broken, I have deteriorating spine syndrome. I will wind up in a wheel chair. This song give me hope. even though I know what's to come, there is still hope. NEVER TOO OLD FOR METAL!
In 2007 my heart stopped 5 times and I fell into darkness and despair, after several years finally this song came out and has guided me “ to the light “
As a U.S. Army Veteran (who suffers from PTSD), when I first heard this song a couple of years ago, I couldn't even begin to express in words how much this song touched me to my very core. I've shared this song with some of my closest friends, who have been suffering from PTSD due to active duty military service as well. This truly does bring a sense of comfort and peace during those unfortunate, unsettling, moments that PTSD can bring on. Thank you, for such an inspiring song.
Thank you for your service, soldier. When you listen to Disturbed, know you are not alone. Many of us, all walks of life, with different demons and battles we fight. If you need a light, know we are here, that band is here...Let us lend you strength should you need it.
I too suffer from PTSD from active duty military. I've struggled with thoughts of suicide and have lived on the edge for many years. This song has inspired me like something special in my life. Coming at the right time to inspire me.
As a veteran myself, I hit an all time low and wanted the way out. I damn near got my wish too. But it took some time, and it was through my music, my therapy, and my now love of my life that I pulled through it. You can do it brother. Stand tall. And if you must fall, know we got you.
As a 76 yr old woman.....I am unsettled to be so enamored by Disturbed... But they reach down deep to where my Questions really came from........So Here I AM .............!
I'm a brand-new fan of Disturbed. Loved David's voice after hearing, "Sound of Silence." Heard it on the TV show, "The Blacklist." Had to find out who was singing it and I became an immediate fan. Oh, and by the way, I'm 73 years old. Ha!
I have PTSD with Major depressive disorder, and intermittent explosive disorder. 8 months after my recent hospitalization, it’s tough to keep going, this song has been helping push through the darkness that had consumed my life. Keep pushing through, as rough as gets, I promise you it’s worth it. I may not be anywhere close to where I want to be, but I’m Leagues better than I used to be.
"Sometimes darkness, can show you the light." These 7 words pulled me through the darkest moments of my life. Depression is a real bitch. If you know someone in your life is dealing with it, give them a hug. I know it sounds lame, but seriously, it'll go a long way.
Oooooh boy i got through depression, it was miserable.I had no more track,vision and anything to hope or look in life.If you think i was thinking about killing my self,thats not a case,it was even worst i didnt fell nothing.That beign said i am pretty fucking happy i got through that shit
I can totally relate I almost my wife 3 times by her own hand to depression I was so scared on where my life was going but we got over it she is better now because of ECT therapy but her family hates me to death to bad to those bitches I don't care anymore what they think
I've been watching Disturbed for 30 years now. Let me tell you, knowing David on a level, he is true and genuine. You just don't see that now a days. Last time was Kid Rock, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and what not. I only look for bands like this to inspire me everyday.
never liked disturbed that much but my son loved them. he died 2 months ago today in a work accident and now I can't stop listening to this song. makes me cry every time.
@Dian X ...better to believe and be proven naive, Than the truth be told and you were cold. But maybe i'm reading too much into it...after all anything can be said on the net. As many truths are said , there are also lies. But tell me who besides a heartless person...can lie about a child's death? After all we say time and time again the greatest heartbreak is a parent having to bury their child.
Lyrics Like an unsung melody The truth is waiting there for you to find it It's not a blight, but a remedy A clear reminder of how it began Deep inside your memory Turned away as you struggled to find it You heard the call as you walked away A voice of calm from within the silence And for what seemed an eternity You're waiting, hoping it would call out again You heard the shadow reckoning Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded You held your guard as you walked away When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light An unforgivable tragedy The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it Prepare yourself for the reckoning For when your world seems to crumble again Don't be afraid, don't turn away You’re the one who can redefine it Don't let hope become a memory Let the shadow permeate your mind and Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away So that the door can be opened again Within your darkest memories Lies the answer if you dare to find it Don't let hope become a memory When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light Sickening, weakening Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul You need strengthening, toughening It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you Ignite the fire within you When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness Can show you the light
+Bobby A it would be awesome, but impossible, Christmas is only a month away, if you really want a Xmas Album go ahead & fucking stress out David & his band after going to many states & countries & writing up all the songs.
I am so very sorry. Words just aren’t enough to convey my sorrow at hearing this terrible news. I hope that this wonderful song of hope can help the souls left behind. Lots of love from Australia.
What can we do to let them know that we all know what they do is to protect us and we appreciated everybody running out but not them they the one going in so how can we let them know that we appreciate what they do for us
This song is so inspirational and moving. I'm almost 67 (next January 8) and I have fallen in love with Metal. When I heard the song and saw the video, it moved me to tears. I just wish that this song came out when my Dad was killed it would have made the event easier (I guess if you want to call it that) to take. I tried listening to quiet and uplifting music and it did no good to ease the pain. My boss suggested that I listen to Metal (which she detests) and it worked. This song is the point of the arrow of music that strikes the heart and does good. Thank you!
That was actually a really good way of saying how metal can get through to people emotionally in a way that other genres can't. It hits a lot harder and because of that it can break through the walls people put up much easier.
Well, you young thing. I am closing in on 80 and fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. Disturbed does some really great stuff. The talent is powerful! But you are correct sometimes when the heart hurts the quiet sweets songs just don't ease that pain of loss.
I switched from listening to a pop radio station to my local rock station when I was separated from my husband and considering divorce. We are back together and a work in progress, but I don't think I will ever go back. Cutesy pop songs can't do shit for a broken heart.
I have been fighting my whole life with bipolar disorder.. it sucks and this song has helped me get thru many dark days.. thank you so much David dreamer for giving us this song to let other know that we are battling every day and don't want to give up..
This is the first time hearing this song, and it spoke to me, as it hits VERY close to home. Two of my family members were fire fighters (may they rest in peace), my mom and brother were both burned, and I saved three children from a burning apartment (started by their sibling playing with a lighter and paper towel) with just the clothes on my back.
what a brave person you are may u find peace and comfort in this song it speaks 2 me also but this is your story. may u find love and peace for the future you are blessed&we alll are DISTURBED! !!rock on
+PrincessMopar ... I was also in the fire service, but as a volunteer. It's hard to explain what it's like. You never doubt that your next call could be your last, or that you could be seriously injured, but you go anyway because someone's life could depend on it. You don't look for respect. You don't look for thanks. You just have compassion for those in need. Nobody in the fire service, at least none who actually care about the lives they save, thinks of themselves as heroes. That said, your mother and brother were true heroes. Never doubt that. May they rest in peace.
+Gaming With ViperZeroOne I wish my town had firefighters like you. Our volunteer company is full of hard-asses that think they have some authority over the town. It's so stupid. One of the local fire department buildings even BURNT DOWN! Like, clearly they aren't doing their jobs.
Brandon MUT ... I'm sorry to hear that. My department was in a fairly small community and sadly fell victim to a jealousy plot by the local services board. We ended up walking out in protest, as their actions were putting both the community and us at risk. The team that took over (board approved) was full of the very people you describe, with the new chief being the husband of a woman on the board (no conflict of interest there, eh?) They were unprofessional, power tripping, blowhards who only wanted the position so they could be big shots. The team had poor training, bad organization, and it showed. Sadly the community paid for their actions. The fire department went from a #1 rating in the province (while we were there) to actually losing their "first response" medical status. Today they're strictly a fire department, and have even been reduced to a secondary response unit. The nearby city (10 minutes away) receives the primary response duties for fire calls in their area, due to them being able to respond faster than the volunteers. It's an absolutely pathetic situation.
So many of us.... I survived (but just barely, fling'n up Hail Marys...). and with birth, there will be more of us... so we must take care of each other!
What an amazing song. I was a fireman for over 15 years, developed neuropathy in my hands and feet. I miss it everyday. But I've made 4 years sober in August, trying to see the light! Disturbed is amazing!
Thank you Disturbed. i seriously had suicidal thoughts last night. Went to bed with headphones on and woke up bawling to this song. This song is powerful, especially since it helped me recall my purpose and my promise to one of my best friends after one of our friends recently passed away. I am more than excited to see you guys May 20th. I sincerely hope you play this and save our last goodbye.
Wow. Tears. I’m a former Colombian army Special Forces C-SAR team and cardiac anesthesiologist. I was in the worst phase of our war, and many soldiers died while we were waiting chopper support. PTSD. My wife left me because my constant nightmares. This song means so much for people like me. Tks for that.
Has he been taking classical type vocal lessons? I remember when these guys first came out, and his voice was typical hard rock and metal type. I wasn't too interested, but then they did Sound of Silence and this, and I gotta say I'm a bit impressed with his voice now. He's great.
Gimmie Micer there super famous. you never listend to down with the sickness back in the day? you might have. they sound like a whole different band anymore.
Perfect through the creator. God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for the tape. Bow our heads as we are said. Thank you lord for daily cred. Just a thought from a rockstar fan..........
I felt compelled to write this after reading one of the top comments. I'm grateful that this song, or any work of art, can elicit such a positive and remedial response in those contemplating suicide. 2017 was the darkest year of my life. My significant other of three years whom I loved dearly cheated on me. I had never cared for someone as much as I cared for her. Five months later my father committed suicide. I tried my best to save him when I found him, but it was too late. Let my experience serve as a testament to this song's message. The trauma of last year was the worst I've ever been through, and if I'm fortunate, the worst I'll ever have to go through. Instead of cursing my fate, I've learned to embrace it as immutable, as something that can either break or build, but never be changed. I must accept what is beyond my power to alter and let the unavoidable nature of darkness serve as a guide to more fully appreciate and exude the light. Humility, awareness, empathy, and forbearance are common results within the human spirit of being utterly crushed by the weight of life and death's trials. If those shining qualities are common results, how can the night be cursed in its entirety when it's capable of breeding such opposing beauty? As this song's incredible lyrics convey: "Let the shadow permeate your mind and reveal the thoughts that were tucked away so that the door can be opened again. Within your darkest memories lies the answer if you dare to find it." I know there are a lot of people here who have suffered or who are suffering at the hands of darkness. None of you are truly alone. Where there is pain there can be healing, where there is failure there can be triumph, where there is death there can be life, where there is darkness there can be light. You're the one who can redefine it.
Wow!!! This is very articulate and well written! People like you give hope and strength to others like me when we need hope the most. Again thank you for your words. Your pain has become others strength.
I remember being a teenager listening to prayer. That song changed my life and I think this song very clearly continues the message. Soilwork actually has a song that I keep on my 'acceptance' playlist called 'wherever thorns may grow'. David Draiman was the first person to show me that we can heal from our pain and grow even stronger because of it.
I'm a Navy swcc special warfare combat crewman combat veteran I had a hard life in the military fighting now I'm 55 and I have a new enemy a unseen one M S I have been having issue's with balance, vertigo,walking equilibrium, I have all the symptoms they did a MRI on my spine and a ct Scan on my Brain I have lesion on my spine in the lumbar area and spots on my Brain I've been thru a lot in my life and now I have another battle I feel the world was crashing down on me I heard a few songs from disturbed and they have giving me strength to fight on I thought of eating a bullet but now I want to live thank you disturbed from the bottom of my heart and soul lol
Thank you for your service man. Not a service member yet but will be before too long. One more thing, everybody talks about the Seals and how badass they are. Don't get me wrong because they definitely are badass! But even they get into some shit at times, and who do they call when that happens? The fucking SWCC!
I listen to this song on repeat when I am having an emotional breakdown because I lost my papaw to cancer back on March 16th, 2016. Listening to this song makes some of the pain fade and able to bear even if it's just for a little while. It also gives me hope that one day the pain of losing him won't hurt as much anymore and that there is hope. He basically raised me as a child and teen so he was more than just my papaw, he was a 2nd dad to me. He was my world, and he was there for me when no one else was. I miss him so much.
kbrown3550 I've known pain like that, especially to that damned disease. Though it's impossible to ever totally ignore the pain of losing those we love, I was raised to believe don't mourn the death, celebrate the life. No pain, no hurt, no loss can ever take away what that person was to you. Pain is fleeting in the long run. His is done now and yours too will fade but the good that person put in your life will last for as long as you hold them in your heart. And if you pass that same on to others lives and they pass it further then the person you loved will be immortal. So spit in the damned reaper's eye and celebrate life!
kbrown3550 Awe. That's too bad. Well...I hope it's gotten easier by now :3 I've personally never had the chance to care about about someone enough to gave them die and really affect me...but I have had people walk away. I know it's not the same, far from it, actually...but it does mean I can at least imagine what it's like. So, me and a billion others are here for you :3
Disturbed, i don't know if you will ever see this comment but... I know this song is more fitting for first responders, I just wish to say something. I was committed to the decision of suicide a few weeks ago, my life is crumbling around me, and i feared there was no way out. So i had it all planned out and was just waiting for an appropriate time that night, listening to your music...and out of nowhere this song appears on my playlist. And i take notice of the lyrics. What im trying to say to the whole band, thank you, you saved my life. it gave me hope and that little push in the right direction.
Glad to see you decided to stick around with the rest of us, there's so much more to life than ones own dark feelings. I've been down your road, decided that no matter what I was going through it wasn't worth the gift of life that I was given.
Thank you. And i think the lyric that caused me to bawl my eyes out and decide to try and continue was "for when your world seems to crumble again, don't be afraid, don't you turn away, you're the one who can redefine it, dont let hope become a memory."
Congratulations. I don't know your backstory, but you have just proven to be stronger than most people. And I know what I am talking about, having lost years of my life to depression, having to see all my dreams shutter and to face the reality that everything I wanted to achieve in life when I was young turned sour. But _fuck_ it. Let people laugh. Let them judge. Because you know what? We came back from a very bad and incredibly dark place. A place where many people would not come back from. So the plans you had crumbled? Your life comes apart on the seams? Hell yeah, I know exactly how scary that it and how much it hurts. But please, always, _always_ remember two things... Suicide is a very permanent solution for a temporary problem. And by not doing it, you already have shown that you are much stronger than all those people who are so proud of their supposedly successful lifes. Fuck them.
I just happened to notice your comment and I know it was 5 months ago...but I hope you are still doing good and have come to realization that EVERY DAY we have ABOVE GROUND is a GOOD DAY....even if it's the WORST DAY you've had in a LONG TIME. Hang in there and PRESS ON as it will only CONTINUE to GET BETTER. I felt just like YOU a little over 2 yrs ago when my HUSBAND of almost 17.5 yrs (22 yrs TOTAL) LEFT ME FOR ANOTHER WOMAN less than 12 hours after he'd sent me a TEXT MESSAGE from the OTHER ROOM of our home informing me that he'd be moving out the NEXT DAY and that he'd actually made that decision 6 months PRIOR when he began saving up money to leave me. I was DEVASTATED to say the LEAST. I KNEW we had some ISSUES just like almost EVERY married couple....but we'd created 2 beautiful kids together and had basically GROWN UP TOGETHER as we started dating when HE was 17 and I was 18. So...I basically didn't KNOW HOW to do LIFE without him by my side. Him telling OUR KIDS was the WORST OF ALL!!!!! ALL MY LIFE I had told myself that I DIDN'T want kids and WOULDN'T HAVE KIDS if I couldn't GUARANTEE that they would NEVER have to endure their HOME being BROKEN and so at the ripe old age of 29....I decided if we WERE going to have kids then we'd better DO IT NOW. I remember even asking my husband if he was SURE because DIVORCE would NOT be an option once we brought kids into the world because I was NOT about to subject them to the SAME kind of LIFE and CHILDHOOD that I had been subjected to from 8 yrs old and up. Of course he said he UNDERSTOOD and AGREED with me. Well....here I sit 2 years LATER at 42 yrs old, STILL UNEMPLOYED (had been a STAY AT HOME MOM for 12 years), a vehicle that's held together with DUCT TAPE and ZIP TIES and renting a house 1/5 th the size of my PREVIOUS home for MORE $$$ than what our mortgage was on our 3,000 sq ft. home. But even after ALL OF THAT...Im STILL able to see the BRIGHT SIDE and thank God for ALL that's happened to me....even the BAD.....because WITHOUT any of THAT....I wouldn't BE the WOMAN I AM TODAY and have the same APPRECIATION for ALL that I HAVE in MY LIFE and WHO I HAVE in MY LIFE. I wouldn't have the same CHARACTER that I NOW HAVE. Like they say....."WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER". That's why THIS SONG is SO FLIPPING POWERFUL to me.....it shows how even in the WORST PART of that firefighter's LIFE....he ends up FALLING IN LOVE with the woman that he otherwise maybe WOULDN'T have EVER MET.
Two years ago I was paralyzed by TM Transverse Myletis, due to a Covid vaccine. I had to learn to do so much again including walk. This song and video, its overlying message gave me so much hope. This son has always stayed in my library and helped during a recent health scare, yet again.
Hey David. I'm almost sure that you will never read this, but i want to thank you. I have been struggling with my life for the last 20 years, a lot of shit happened to me, lost someone close for suicide, someone i thought loved me tried to make me raise a child that wasn't mine, when was close to have my own child we lost it, and that person left me a few months later. I was feeling alone, nor worthy of anything, depressed, anxious, had suicidal thoughts, just carrying on in auto pilot every day. This year of reclusion helped/ forced me to fight many of my inner demons, thought that i deserve to be happy too and started to feel different about my life, looking for my path and my reason to be. In every breakdown point your music were there with me, songs like this one and "Stonger on your own" gave me a lot to think about, helped me -and still does- to gather strenght outta nowhere and keep fighting. Thank you again for your company, even when you don't know who am i -and you probably never will- and for give us this songs to remember that we worth too, even when the world or the people seems to forget it. Keep strong my brothers, and sorry for the bad english.
David may not see your story, but I certainly did. It moved me. Your life has certainly tempered your steel! Always keep pushing forward, no matter how hard it is. Stay strong, brother. 🤘🤘

I'm going through a lot of problems right now. This song helps me to remain positive. Everytime I see a building on fire, I think of when I ran through my house like a crazy lady to rescue my cat when I was 16. I'm not a fire fighter but I can relate to running through a fire to save someone.
legit this band is what is keeping me alive, especially this song, I'm 18 with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). and its been super hard for me to the point where my depression has gotten worse. Really this song is what makes me have hope that this will only be temporary and that all the pain I go through will be worth it.
So sorry. I too have chronic pain.. My best friend has something similar to you. She finally after a quite a battle, was flown from Vancouver Canada, to the mayo clinic US. They helped her get her life back. It was amazing. The to of us write hard rock. She's lead guitar, I'm rythum guitar & lead vocals. Because we have been battling illness, we had to put off promoting our stuff. Our demo was shown a lot of interest so now that we are better & hVe new material - life has turn around for us. You must be going through so much right now. I will pray for you. We were not able to work or go to college so played & wrote songs with a drummer, twice a week for years, as we were not well. We both often felt like failures in "real life". Also we don't think we can play very well, until we start rehearsing & then with a meek almost shameful look one of us will say I guess we're not too bad & laugh. Happens often, so I know the mental state sickness, pain & doctors leave you in. Please don't get hooked on painkillers. My illness left me in a habitual circle with still pain. I had a thoracotmy - my chest cracked open & they took out ribs to
I've walked that walk .. As a Firefighter .. I Got hurt and had to overcome my injuries .. But i had worked through the pain and mentle abilities.. The song lifts you up and give you hope to move forward ..
LYRICS Like an unsung melody The truth is waiting there for you to find it It's not a blight, but a remedy A clear reminder of how it began Deep inside your memory Turned away as you struggled to find it You heard the call as you walked away A voice of calm from within the silence And for what seemed an eternity You're waiting, hoping it would call out again You heard the shadow reckoning Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded You held your guard as you walked away When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light An unforgivable tragedy The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it Prepare yourself for the reckoning For when your world seems to crumble again Don't be afraid, don't turn away You’re the one who can redefine it Don't let hope become a memory Let the shadow permeate your mind and Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away So that the door can be opened again Within your darkest memories Lies the answer if you dare to find it Don't let hope become a memory When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light, beautiful Sickening, weakening Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul You need strengthening, toughening It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you Ignite the fire within you When you think all is forsaken Listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness can show you the light Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken) You need never feel broken again Sometimes darkness Can show you the light
As someone who was left for dead at 16 by her boyfriend after a brutal attack it took years to be able to even trust anyone. I became an emt at 21 to help people like me overcome their fear and pain....I live daily with the memories and have never spoken to anyone about what happened to me. (Only my parents and him know and I am 53 years old) This song gives me hope one day I can get the images out of my head and move on
Use those images as a positive: You survived! You were hurt, but you keep living. Don't let him control your life. You didn't give up, and those images can remind you to never give up. Also, talking about it might help let go of them instead of letting them fester. Plus, they take away their power, his power, and give it back to you. You control who you tell, you control what you tell, and you control those images. Best wishes to you. I am also a survivor of abuse, so I have done most of these to take back my life from the nightmares and flashbacks.
@@shadodragonette no power is ever taken away from those people. She needs to MOVE ON, not fight. As she said so herself. People need to treat the world differently and realize that not everyone's the same. Some people just need a way out, not prolonging that fight indefinitely. For some, that way out is a win. Also, people need to stop visualising power as something physical. Nothing is taken away. There is no such thing as power. It's a figment of our imagination. There's only you and who you want to be. Forcing yourself to be "powerful" won't get you anywhere and is basically, living a lie. Life is balance. Instead of trying to fight for power and try to cut the abuser to size, no less than 40 years later, all she wants is to continue her life. She doesn't need a war. Or retribution. She needs peace. She wants to be at peace, with herself. I'm always puzzled how some of you just can't see or understand that.
It is with great sadness that I read your story. And whilest everyone needs to find a way to deal with experiences, I can only give you my advice. I was in the dark, I stared into the hole of depression. It was only when I started to be open about it, that I was able to free myself from the shackles. Now I dont suggest to go around and tell everyone. But please, for your own sanity: consider professional help. It is your live that needs to get back on track, and you have already waited a long time. Search for someone you like as a psychologist, but in gods name, DO. GET. HELP. You have this one life, do something that makes you enjoy it. Godspeed to you
no matter how much you remember. make sure to remember this one thing. at 21 you took a step away from the incident and turned it into something that could help others. you are not alone and you loved yourself enough to take what was a terrible and lifechanging situation and decided it wouldn't define you. that you could help others survive as you did. that takes a strength that he tried to destroy was stronger then him. He failed in what he tried to do. That takes a lot of strength and determination. coudos to you. You beat him.
" in your darkest memories; lies the answer if you dare to find it. " Something recently happened with the family, and I had to do some diving through the past... Wasn't pleasant. This song has always been an eye opener for me, and continues to be. We have to learn from our mistakes, and those of others. Truths which have been hidden from you can usually be discovered by tracing the event and those involved. I hope this song continues to be of help to everybody who listens to it.
I can't even sing this song without wanting to cry all because when it came into my life. It was after alot of failures, guilt and wishing I never woke up in that hospital room. Needless to say, he is right because now. I'm still here and even stronger than I was ever before. I just had to find my way out. In the process I found who I truly am. Everyday is a blessing and a gift that should never be taken advantage of. Thank you for coming in my life when I truly needed you guys.
Cindra, I too had those feelings. I was spared death after a Massive stroke that should have killed me did not in fact kill me. But I was left very broken both physically and mentally. I cursed G-d and begged for death. Now I realize it was the best and worse thing that ever happened to me. I have lived to see two beautiful granddaughters brought into this world. Although they are the icing on the cake. There is sooooo much more. Be Strong, Be Strong and Strengthen One Another.

I haven't followed metal for a long time. I'm 56, a Canadian Vet with PTSD and now an amputee. I got through every day of my service without losing any body parts. It recently was a bone infection that took my leg. Your cover of the Sound of Silence introduced me to you and your version had an impact. Then Reason To Fight hit me like a ton of bricks. This song has me looking for the light every day and every day I find it. I WILL walk again. Thank you for who you are and what you do. Keep going. You have a new fan.
My brother lost his lower leg at 18, as well as suffering major trauma and multiple injuries. He said, "I'm going to do everything I intended, I will just have to do it differently". And he did. He went on to win national competitions on a scrambler motorbike, drive, swim and parachute. Today, he goes hunting, on three week solo expiditions in the Australian desert, drives huge heavy duty excavating machinery for a living, has his own house and dog, and is in a very good place in his life. He is a great inspiration to me. I wish the same for you. God bless you!
@@m.forrestal5893 Thank You. I appreciate the well wishes. Glad your brotha is doing well for himself. I will fight. I will walk and I will continue on.
I'm 54 and have followed them from the beginning. They are amazing. David Draiman's voice is on par with the greats... Allison Krauss, Axle Rose, Serj Tankian, Wes Scantlin.
Thank you, disturbed, truly. These past few months have been rough, and I could feel myself slipping. After a long history of chronic depression, I didn't want to go back, and this song, however. Unlikely it seems, has helped me get back on the right track. Thank you!
Been through hell of both mental health collapses and neurological issues, plus other health issues in the last 6 months. 3 hospitalizations from suicidal plans and intents, and several ER visits for various health problems. Trying to work has been impossible because my health has been so fragile. I wondered if the hell would ever end. I've always dealt with depression and some problems in my life, but never to the degree that would impair my function as it has. It was crushing to my self esteem and I felt truly helpless at points. However, recently things showed a great turn for the better. Hope became a real thing again. Life gets better. The storms pass. Don't give up hope. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, there's still problems I have to deal with, but I see reason to keep going now. Disturbed really nailed it, and this song hit home for me sooo much. Thanks for writing this song you guys.
Without darkness, there would be no light, because how could you see hope if despair was not there to rise up from? When things seem the darkest, that is when the spark shines the brightest in the blackest night. A single star, shining in the deepest abyss, shines because there is hope and joy in the world to find.

My sister hates metal, but she loves the lyrics from this song. They're really isn't the matter of opinion in the lyrics to this song, it's either you get it or your just plainly stupid or just hate because your bored
UGNUG 71 I like metal, too, and I also love this song. IDK why you can't get it through your thick skull that some people just don't like this type of music, some people would rather listen to classical or old school rock and roll with the homeboi, Elvis. Maybe you should take a moment to realise that just because you're biased doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it.
I am 72 years young and the Beatles used to be my favorite group until a few years ago when I found DISTURBED. Pick any of their songs and they can be relevant at any time. I love them and they get greater and greater I have such respect for them. Really listening to the words can be meaningful to so many people. I find myself crying sometimes but only because their songs are the truth. The men in this group are heartfelt husbands fathers and friends and they really love their fans that is why they write and sing the songs they do. Many blessings to this fantastic group and their families. Love you guys and your relevant music.
My dad was a firefighter for almost 40 years and was still one when he passed away. We played hold on to memories at his funeral but I will always remember there were things he saw that he would never talk about. Thank you for this video. It really hit home for me ❤❤

Whether you wear your scars on your skin or on your soul, wear them with pride. They are not marks of what has been destroyed but reminders of what you have survived. Each line is a victory over what could have destroyed you, yet you won.
Words to live by.
so goddamn right!!

wow... Great quote you should be a philosipher (im not being sarcastic)

I’m a disabled firefighter a burning building fell on me 5 years ago I have a TBI and PTSD this video is triggering and healing thank you. Your music helps many.
Jerry Hartsworm bless you stay strong x
Glad you are still with us
You're awesome man..God bless you
♥️♥️
Really Thank you for staying still with us.
As a retired Firefighter of 26 years of service I can say that this video is absolutely true for many brothers and sisters in our profession. The pain they deal with is unbelievable. Luckily I made it through healthy, but some don't. Disturbed is an amazing band and I actually get tears listening to this song....great band all around
My cousin is retired and dealing with cancer. His last fire he fought was the Rodeo Chedsky fire in the WhiteMountains. Not many people started helping out the firefighters until George Strait opened up his home and gave them a place to rest. The first restaurant I remember sending them food was Mr.Goodly's a pizza place. It was followed by another huge fire on Mt.Lemon. Most people in Tucson don't even know that on the back side we have a zip line and a cave. Distrubed also has helped me deal with lots of things the past couple of years.
I for one app your declaration
Thank you for your service
@user-gd9vc8go3c Thanks for appreciating the hard work we do. I come from a family of firefighters in Newark, NJ. It's nice that good people like you give us praise. Be well.
@roseannamanues2111 best of luck to your cousin. I wish him well. We all feel for him. Be well.
As a firefighter/paramedic with 27 years In emergency services this hits home. Disturbed wasn't my type of music. I'm a country guy thru and thru. However disturbed has become one of my go to bands. Great music great people. Fight the good fight.
OH Yes. Love the Highwaymen, and all the way back to he Lonesome Sound of Hank Williams Sr..... but when I found Disturbed"s "Sound of Silence ". . .something happened. The furry and the sadness and the power of that voice overtook me and this ancient soul of mine found a new path to explore. I'm 76 now... intend to keep exploring as long as I draw breath............................
I'm 72 with a broken body constantly wracked by pain, but I'm sitting here crying my eyes out on a binge watch of Disturbed videos. David Draiman has so much emotion and fire and his band provide the perfect base for his vocals, I found you after listening to "The Sound of Silence" and I will follow where you lead me, thank you.
we have the technology we can rebuild him (the docs will be saying that in about 2 years or so from now)
I'm crying to Joanne...I'm 60 in 2 weeks..shattered my heel and broke off a chunk of bone under my ankle in August. I can barely walk always in pain and this particular injury never heals. And I'm losing my hair and eyesight. I guess I should be grateful for the 50 good years I had.
Coming over to listen to Disturbed brings me to tears and I get angry for feeling sorry for myself. How does the proverb go about I once was a man that had no shoes, and then I met a man that had no feet kinda deal. Disturbed puts it all in perspective. And I love them for that.
@@spacecorpse3212 Although I don't doubt there are many cures available or soon to be available, that isn't how healthcare works anymore. It's a for profit organization that only cares about the almighty dollar. We're worth far more incapacitated and in pain than if we're healthy. Call me a liar, but check your bill the next time you go in hollering in pain for a completely ruptured disc in your L4-L5 and they tell you that it's muscle spasms without any tests performed charge you $191 for a single generic Tylenol (that won't touch the pain) and $48 to bring it to you in a paper cup and to come back if it doesn't get better in a day or two. Or when you get a bill for almost $250,000 for a single round of chemo.

Watching this during the LA wildfires of 2025 and I want to say thank you to firefighters everywhere for all they do keeping us safe at immense risk to their own lives.
On April 9th it will be 30 years since I broke my neck in a car accident, paralyzing me from the neck down. Music has been the one thing that has kept me going through the years and songs like this. You would be amazed at how much we take for granted in life, especially the little things, that you end up missing the most.
Thank you Bill for sharing. I hope you're happy and enjoying life, you deserve it.
Ahh Dang. So You can’t fuck huh.
Prayers brother. It wont be forever-forever is where it gets better.

God bless u my brother
This song, it transcends any one trauma, and encapsulates every trauma ever felt by anyone. It’s more than a song…..an anthem for healing.
Thanks Disturbed. I hope you all decide to release a new album!
Yes... this is the story so many of us weep alone into our pillows.....
My father passed away due to cancer in March this year and he used to give me a lot of advices, like mentioned in the lyrics.

@Gabriele Di Lazzaro thank you for your kind words.
How are you disabled?
@@ilasilas3261 many surgeries and have cancer
Psst brother : Potential cure for cancer : metformin and ppar-delta antagonist.
Cancer cells due to their rate of division require considerably more energy in order to survive compared to normal cells.
Ppar-delta is the chemical switch which changes the cells metabolism from glucose to fats.
There are studies on metformin in which the patients have had considerable reduction in tumours , however in some the cancer metastasized.
The link is that cancer uses the ppar-delta switch to use fats and "migrates" to a different part of the body in which it can use fats.
These two substances together could be used to starve the cancer cells , however this will obviously have a knock over effect on normal cells and there need to be studies done on dosage and intervals of administration.
If the subject has a higher body fat percentage then t3 and ppar-delta agonist can be used.
My wife and I are going on 20yrs married when I returned home from Iraq she knew I wasn’t myself but she didn’t give up on me my son was born while I was there he’s 17 now . You have a keeper Luis give her a big hug for me . Hooah
"Sometimes darkness can show you the light."
Sometimes it takes near breaking to show you the good in your life, the good that gives you meaning and peace.
Thank you and so truthful
My experience is different. I lost my girlfriend and myself on memorial day in 1995. After a great weekend camping on a lake, well, to sum up the night, I went down on my motorcycle and her head broke on mine. It took her till June 3rd to die from traumatic brain injury. I was able to get underneath her after the bike flipped, but it wasn't enough to save her from harm. She died and yet I live. If there is a god, and this was his plan, I despise everything he represents. Much like my father, the only thing it taught me is hate and self hate. There is no reason why a choir girl should have died when a piece of shit like me lived. That's proof enough that there is no light and no happy ending when we die
@@stubbornalso6772 I am so sorry... You are in great pain, but bitterness and hate will destroy you. You are not a piece of shit! Be true to your girlfriend, be true to the person she saw and loved. That is what she wants for you. I do not believe God wants what happened, but I do believe he can draw good out of it, if you let him. I wish you peace, comfort and healing.
I went thru a lot of things at my old school (im 16 btw) and that included sa. But if it wasnt for the shit i went thru at that school, i wouldnt have moved schools and found my best friend. She helped me get thru a bad depressive period and i am so thankful. So, yes, darkness can show you the light sometimes.
Near breaking...ha some of us have to walk down the dark tunnel till we reach the end to realize the " light" doesn't have to be a freight train but can be sunshine!!!!
Cerebral aneurysm 1990 , full paralysis on one side, surgeon told me to thank god for a full recovery. Love this song, and it makes think about the ones less fortunate.
Shoutout to every single firemen, police officer and such. You guys risk your life a lot of times to make sure we have it good. You are real heros!
The range of his voice is absolutely incredible.
Even live, it's bar none.
True. Is absurdly gorgeous.
Weirdest thing? David Draiman was never supposed to be a singer, if he had followed his parent's wishes and the path they wanted him to go down. He was supposed to be a hassidic rabbi, trained as well to be a hazzan (Jewish musician/singer), but his dark days of the 90s ("Inside the Fire" is the rawest song he's written because he's actually experienced the core message of the song) woke him up to realize that that path wasn't for him. He used all his training, however, and practiced his singing before auditioning with like 20 bands a month in Chicago. Most didn't think he fit, the only band that recognized the untouched and amazing goldmine that is Draiman's voice was Distrubed, who needed a singer after the original one left. Dan Donegan (guitarist in the band) was so impressed with his ability to sing both the original songs as well as adding his interpretation of how they should be sung, and his range, grit, and ability to overtone sing impressed the hell out of Dan and the band, who were looking at each other like "holy shit, we've found our singer."
Also, as far as I know, he's the only metal frontman that consistently uses overtone in songs. Other singers can do it, but David was (literally) born to do it, with the way his throat biology is structured. His training in canting (religious chanting/singing, most famously known through Gregorian chants) developed that ability to a good level. You can hear it even in this song... listen at 4:05 as he holds the longer "light" word and pay sspecific attention to 4:07 where the fry in his vocal chords deepens, but the clean above it is the overtone. He's literally singing two notes at once. I think the only other singers I've heard use that exact same technique, at least in metal,(a growl/fry/grit under a clean overtone), are Will Ramos of Lorna Shore (the high fry's of Into The Hellfire), and Floor Jansen of Nightwish (the snarling growls of Yours Is An Empty Hope).
It comes from originally being an opera singer
LISTEN TO ME NOW!!!!!!!!
Even I'm not a firefighter and just an ordinary girl that is still struggling of great darkness, depression and humiliation of people. This song brings me light.
Never give up! I feel you. I have bpd, PTSD but one you find the light there's no going back!
Im here if you ever want to talk.
Hugs to you sweetie ❤
Thanks. Just sitting here enjoying the humiliation.
Even since my wife of 30+ years of marriage passed away unexpectedly is when I found Disturbed. Not only this song but how on to memories are just two of my favorite songs from Disturbed. And I can’t tell you how many times I keep coming back to this amazing band!
This song is my reminder to never stop looking for the light, no matter how dark I feel.
Hello Rebecca...
Amen to that....
Always remember that God, the creator of the universe loves you and that you are fearfully and wonderfully made! 😊 Jesus is the Way! Not religion but relationship
We’re here, together. Remember that.
Being a firefighter this song inspires me to do more and stay strong. I fell in love with the song before seeing the video brings more meaningful feels for me. I had to rehab to get back after being out on a medical injury. Great song!
Aaron marquez Thank you for protecting us. Stay strong and God bless.
Grzegorz ŁABUZEK dude, they cant understandt you, they are not polish
ziomek, przecież oni cie nie rozumieją
Do you guys have any idea how many lives you save with your music? I cannot even count how many times I've been saved by the music of Disturbed!
Music can hurt or heal. I love this band because they do both
Thank you for putting your life on the line to save so many❤
Mine. This song literally saved mine.
I fell into Disturbed via Sound of Silence like so many others and recognized the pure art they create. I attended my first rock concert last year as an 80th birthday gift to myself. I hope to celebrate my 90th and beyond with them
I really hope you guys know what you do to others with your music. This is how I picture my wife of 19 years this December who has dealt with the ugliness of my PTSD from 4 tours in Iraq and has made me a man again. I owe her my life and thank you for this video to show her how I feel about and think of her. She has saved me by showing me the good still left inside and buried my monster. Again, Thank you.
*Salute* Thank you
I hope you are ok these days (!) - sending a hug from UK - (Im a lady!!)
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service. I wish you well. Greetings from Norway
did you find the weapons of mass destruction yet? or was it just gold and oil
The peeps who say metal is bad. Try singing this song, the lyrics the manner in which David sings the expression and emotion, just simply beautiful
Wow, I have grown to really appreciate their music and lyrics. Especially when I am down, they lift me and when I am Dark they help me find the light.
It's preference, honey.
power and kindness all in one voice
me too!
Same here.. there's so much love in this song. 💜
Brilliant
I try not to let hope become a memory but this last year has made that very difficult, being told i'll never walk again, becoming a widow at 43 and being told i have cancer, even a curable one has all been too much. I love this band and this song in particular really speaks to me, thank you guys for giving us such great music
If one thing is for certain, is that the impossibilities of today, become the possibilities of tomorrow. Love is always with you, it surrounds you. Look to see the light in all. I'm sorry to hear of your circumstance but with love I wish you well.
Kat Cornish
I can not even began to understand what you must be going thru..but I know if this song helps a lil you should check out "There will be a day" by Jeremy Camp
perspective changer
The light is always brighter in complete darkness. This song has spoken to me in different ways over the years and I have to be thankful for the darkness I’ve come through. Been thankful for this band for 20 years!
Everytime i hear a Disturbed song, I say this is my favorite song. Fact of the matter is, they are by far the best band I have ever listened to and I haven't heard a song that disappointed.
I love that each one is epic but also has an encouraging message in it.
They are my all time favorite
To every Vet out there, thank you, I love you all. As a grandma, you saved my grandma daughter's futures
IM 60 YEARS OLD AND LOVE DISTRUBED , THE POWER IN HIS VOICE TELLS A STORY WITH GREAT ROCK.
I'm 63 and refuse to listen to anything not metal
65 checking in here - heavy metal forever
thanks for leaving the world in hell you old
Paul Lewis and Cold Comfort Farm, you guys are legends =)
@@coldcomfortfarm8557 Me too!
after my wife of 12 years walked out in may , I suffered a massive heart attack witch lead to a stroke in june,Im lucky to be around,this song has helped me get through these dark times!! Love this band!!
Stay strong man...
Bradley Williams fíü hijoü
You need NEVER feel broken again!
Stay strong Bradley! I live with chronic pain ( Rheumatoid Arthritis and Peripheral Neuropathy ) and a bad heart....but have not let any of it keep me down! I listen to this song at least twice a day just to keep the creative fires inside of me flowing! ( After 30 years in retail management I had to retire because of the chronic problems, and then rediscovered my passion for art! )
Bradley....i feel ya.
My wife left me after 15 years together because I have scoliosis with arthritis in my spine and was an undiagnosed bipolar with ptsd, which she exacerbated by the way she emotionally neglected and then abandoned my daughter and I..... after we moved 1400 miles from everyone and everything I knew... My whole world crumbled and after 4 failed suicide attempts I'm still here because of 2 things... My daughter, and music like this song.
...not all scars are on the outside...
Peace brotha
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO DISTURBED ,THEY LITERALY DONT HAVE A BAD SONG ...AND THE SINGER IS SOOOO TALENTED HIS VOICEEE ISSSS GOLDEN
"Don't let hope become a memory" - that hits me so dang hard. I have given up on hope, it's a drug I was addicted to that clouded my vision, created denial in me about the reality of familial rejections, events that caused PTSD in me, and I just cannot ever hope again. I will always be broken.
it was five years ago, a dark time of my life, was going through a living hell.
This song, this one song was playing nonstop during those times. I may be not succeded in the end, but at least I'm not feeling alone walking that steeps road and still alive to this day. I'm forever grateful for this song.
Thank you, Disturbed.
I know what you mean
The light at the end of the tunnel need not be a freight train,!!! It can be sunshine if you want it to be, believe me,40 years a junkie now I'm 1 year clean
me too
Today my grandfather got admitted into ICU, unable to breathe on his own. I've listened to many songs, all reminding of the inevitable. All, but this one. I've heard this song MANY times before. But not when my world was crumbling in this magnitude. To say I love this band and song would be an understatement.
@Soloman Grundy thank you for that... But his body didn't allow recovery.
@Soloman Grundy truly it's okay. He's still alive in our hearts an memories. We're more grateful that we got to know him and had as much as time with him as we did.
@Soloman Grundy praying for man. Stressful when the grandparents get sick.
I'm 55, I LOVE this band! I LOVE this song! I am more than just a little broken, I have deteriorating spine syndrome. I will wind up in a wheel chair. This song give me hope. even though I know what's to come, there is still hope. NEVER TOO OLD FOR METAL!
Never ever
good thing exo suits now exist kinda but there starting to be used for medical needs so theirs one thing
My dad was a burn victim thus is excellent way to show what they go through disturbed for life love u guys
In 2007 my heart stopped 5 times and I fell into darkness and despair, after several years finally this song came out and has guided me “ to the light “
Anyone listening in 2025? 👽🪐
2026😂
Ah. 1:23
2027
Yeap💪🏻🥰
2035 if I'm still here
As a U.S. Army Veteran (who suffers from PTSD), when I first heard this song a couple of years ago, I couldn't even begin to express in words how much this song touched me to my very core. I've shared this song with some of my closest friends, who have been suffering from PTSD due to active duty military service as well. This truly does bring a sense of comfort and peace during those unfortunate, unsettling, moments that PTSD can bring on. Thank you, for such an inspiring song.
John Herbst Bless you stay strong xxx
Thank you for your service, soldier. When you listen to Disturbed, know you are not alone. Many of us, all walks of life, with different demons and battles we fight. If you need a light, know we are here, that band is here...Let us lend you strength should you need it.
what do you think of free healthcare Bernie is purposing?
I too suffer from PTSD from active duty military. I've struggled with thoughts of suicide and have lived on the edge for many years. This song has inspired me like something special in my life. Coming at the right time to inspire me.
As a veteran myself, I hit an all time low and wanted the way out. I damn near got my wish too. But it took some time, and it was through my music, my therapy, and my now love of my life that I pulled through it. You can do it brother. Stand tall. And if you must fall, know we got you.
As a 76 yr old woman.....I am unsettled to be so enamored by Disturbed... But they reach down deep to where my Questions really came from........So Here I AM .............!
Awesome! I love it! You show us it's never to late to explore new things and even find out things about yourself.
I'm a brand-new fan of Disturbed. Loved David's voice after hearing, "Sound of Silence." Heard it on the TV show, "The Blacklist." Had to find out who was singing it and I became an immediate fan. Oh, and by the way, I'm 73 years old. Ha!
Same here, I now even like their old heavy tracks and some, I absolutely LOVE!!
It hasn't to do with age... 😎😎😎
@@minakatsama2014 You are 100% right!
@HeyThatsAlex658 Know it! Love it! Thanks!
Me too, 69 years old, greetings from Serbia (ex Yugoslavia).
I have PTSD with Major depressive disorder, and intermittent explosive disorder. 8 months after my recent hospitalization, it’s tough to keep going, this song has been helping push through the darkness that had consumed my life. Keep pushing through, as rough as gets, I promise you it’s worth it. I may not be anywhere close to where I want to be, but I’m Leagues better than I used to be.
I am in your boat, but yes we can make it.
You’re gonna get where you wanna be at; be nice to yourself, too. Keep focused.
100,I was in a pysch ward back in October & this song has helped
"Sometimes darkness, can show you the light."
These 7 words pulled me through the darkest moments of my life.
Depression is a real bitch. If you know someone in your life is dealing with it, give them a hug. I know it sounds lame, but seriously, it'll go a long way.
truth
Amen to that!
Halleluya!
Oooooh boy i got through depression, it was miserable.I had no more track,vision and anything to hope or look in life.If you think i was thinking about killing my self,thats not a case,it was even worst i didnt fell nothing.That beign said i am pretty fucking happy i got through that shit
I can totally relate I almost my wife 3 times by her own hand to depression I was so scared on where my life was going but we got over it she is better now because of ECT therapy but her family hates me to death to bad to those bitches I don't care anymore what they think
I've been watching Disturbed for 30 years now. Let me tell you, knowing David on a level, he is true and genuine. You just don't see that now a days. Last time was Kid Rock, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and what not. I only look for bands like this to inspire me everyday.
never liked disturbed that much but my son loved them. he died 2 months ago today in a work accident and now I can't stop listening to this song. makes me cry every time.
Ann Marie Apel I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope this song brings you comfort
Sorry for your loss...
And yeah we can believe anything in the net...
He has found the light and has shown you the light - you are blessed
@Dian X ...better to believe and be proven naive, Than the truth be told and you were cold. But maybe i'm reading too much into it...after all anything can be said on the net. As many truths are said , there are also lies. But tell me who besides a heartless person...can lie about a child's death? After all we say time and time again the greatest heartbreak is a parent having to bury their child.
Lyrics
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
Turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You're waiting, hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow reckoning
Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You’re the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light
Jack Carver thanks
But if you listen to the song...
Hope is not forsaken,not, all is not forsaken, i think
Jack Carver

I still want Disturbed to release a Christmas album.
Me too!
+Bobby A Dude that would be so great like best thing to happen to holiday music since Transiberian Orchestra even if they did! :D
would be awesome
+Bobby A I want them to release a track with the guy who spoofed them. That would be awesome
+Bobby A it would be awesome, but impossible, Christmas is only a month away, if you really want a Xmas Album go ahead & fucking stress out David & his band after going to many states & countries & writing up all the songs.
My husband just lost two fellow firefighters on Wednesday and this song has been playing at the fire house a lot, may they rest in peace
I am so very sorry. Words just aren’t enough to convey my sorrow at hearing this terrible news. I hope that this wonderful song of hope can help the souls left behind. Lots of love from Australia.
New Tripoli?
God bless the souls lost and those left behind to honor them... Bless y'all from Ohio❤
My condolences
What can we do to let them know that we all know what they do is to protect us and we appreciated everybody running out but not them they the one going in so how can we let them know that we appreciate what they do for us
This song is so inspirational and moving. I'm almost 67 (next January 8) and I have fallen in love with Metal. When I heard the song and saw the video, it moved me to tears. I just wish that this song came out when my Dad was killed it would have made the event easier (I guess if you want to call it that) to take. I tried listening to quiet and uplifting music and it did no good to ease the pain. My boss suggested that I listen to Metal (which she detests) and it worked. This song is the point of the arrow of music that strikes the heart and does good. Thank you!
That was actually a really good way of saying how metal can get through to people emotionally in a way that other genres can't. It hits a lot harder and because of that it can break through the walls people put up much easier.
Well, you young thing. I am closing in on 80 and fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. Disturbed does some really great stuff. The talent is powerful! But you are correct sometimes when the heart hurts the quiet sweets songs just don't ease that pain of loss.
I switched from listening to a pop radio station to my local rock station when I was separated from my husband and considering divorce. We are back together and a work in progress, but I don't think I will ever go back. Cutesy pop songs can't do shit for a broken heart.
I'm your age. lost my wife, my kids, havent seen my youngest son since he was 5 and im 55. Who's the bitch :(
that is a good boss....glad it helped you
half an hour ago I was watching Johnny cash and ended up here. don't know how it happened but I'm glad it did.
Both good choices in music.
Definitely two of my favorites! Excellent choices.
It's a natural progression.
haha me too !
same lol
Sometimes darkness can show you the light.... Most powerful quote.
You're damn, fucking right!
You think about it, it's actually a good life lesson
True in a literal sense too! Light is very easy to spot when everything else is dark :s
HAIL AVATAR! Underrated as fuck more people need to check 'em out :D
idk lol
I have been fighting my whole life with bipolar disorder.. it sucks and this song has helped me get thru many dark days.. thank you so much David dreamer for giving us this song to let other know that we are battling every day and don't want to give up..
This is the first time hearing this song, and it spoke to me, as it hits VERY close to home. Two of my family members were fire fighters (may they rest in peace), my mom and brother were both burned, and I saved three children from a burning apartment (started by their sibling playing with a lighter and paper towel) with just the clothes on my back.
what a brave person you are may u find peace and comfort in this song it speaks 2 me also but this is your story. may u find love and peace for the future you are blessed&we alll are DISTURBED! !!rock on
+PrincessMopar ... I was also in the fire service, but as a volunteer. It's hard to explain what it's like. You never doubt that your next call could be your last, or that you could be seriously injured, but you go anyway because someone's life could depend on it. You don't look for respect. You don't look for thanks. You just have compassion for those in need.
Nobody in the fire service, at least none who actually care about the lives they save, thinks of themselves as heroes. That said, your mother and brother were true heroes. Never doubt that. May they rest in peace.
+Gaming With ViperZeroOne I wish my town had firefighters like you. Our volunteer company is full of hard-asses that think they have some authority over the town. It's so stupid. One of the local fire department buildings even BURNT DOWN! Like, clearly they aren't doing their jobs.
Brandon MUT ... I'm sorry to hear that. My department was in a fairly small community and sadly fell victim to a jealousy plot by the local services board. We ended up walking out in protest, as their actions were putting both the community and us at risk. The team that took over (board approved) was full of the very people you describe, with the new chief being the husband of a woman on the board (no conflict of interest there, eh?) They were unprofessional, power tripping, blowhards who only wanted the position so they could be big shots. The team had poor training, bad organization, and it showed.
Sadly the community paid for their actions. The fire department went from a #1 rating in the province (while we were there) to actually losing their "first response" medical status. Today they're strictly a fire department, and have even been reduced to a secondary response unit. The nearby city (10 minutes away) receives the primary response duties for fire calls in their area, due to them being able to respond faster than the volunteers. It's an absolutely pathetic situation.
I'm a 71-year old hard-core rock fan, and this song is stunning! Thanks so much for posting this bit of aural genius!
Robert Young It's great how someone so many generations apart can love the same things.

"You need never feel broken again"
This song saved my life.
So many of us.... I survived (but just barely, fling'n up Hail Marys...). and with birth, there will be more of us... so we must take care of each other!
What an amazing song. I was a fireman for over 15 years, developed neuropathy in my hands and feet. I miss it everyday. But I've made 4 years sober in August, trying to see the light! Disturbed is amazing!
Absorbing so much pain on a daily basis is cumulative and overwhelming. We cling to what works until we find what helps to repair us....
Thank you Disturbed. i seriously had suicidal thoughts last night. Went to bed with headphones on and woke up bawling to this song. This song is powerful, especially since it helped me recall my purpose and my promise to one of my best friends after one of our friends recently passed away.
I am more than excited to see you guys May 20th. I sincerely hope you play this and save our last goodbye.
+Brett Musil I shall definitely be fine now. I texted my friend to let her know that I will NEVER forget, and trust me, I wont.
I can't w8'to see them too going to be dope!!!
you're not alone. we love you! stay strong.
This song definitely helps in the moments of darkness. I struggle with *stuff* from my time in the Army. The dark only shows me the light.
Thx🤘💜🤘
Wow. Tears. I’m a former Colombian army Special Forces C-SAR team and cardiac anesthesiologist. I was in the worst phase of our war, and many soldiers died while we were waiting chopper support. PTSD. My wife left me because my constant nightmares. This song means so much for people like me. Tks for that.
Has he been taking classical type vocal lessons? I remember when these guys first came out, and his voice was typical hard rock and metal type. I wasn't too interested, but then they did Sound of Silence and this, and I gotta say I'm a bit impressed with his voice now. He's great.
fred fuchs Yeah I think he knows he has a good voice now, so he sings more. In the beginning he was more shouting and letting the guitar do the work.
Gimmie Micer there super famous. you never listend to down with the sickness back in the day? you might have. they sound like a whole different band anymore.
Dave is a trained singer called a Hazan. Raised in a Jewish he taught and sang in the Synagogue.
Jeremy Booth imagine him belting the "Dreidel song"
\m/(>.
Jeremy Booth didn't know that cool, thanks!
Perfect through the creator. God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for the tape. Bow our heads as we are said. Thank you lord for daily cred. Just a thought from a rockstar fan..........
“Don’t let another somber pariah consume your soul”, that’s what I needed to hear these days
I found this song at the darkest time of my life. It relight the fire in this vet's life
I felt compelled to write this after reading one of the top comments. I'm grateful that this song, or any work of art, can elicit such a positive and remedial response in those contemplating suicide.
2017 was the darkest year of my life. My significant other of three years whom I loved dearly cheated on me. I had never cared for someone as much as I cared for her. Five months later my father committed suicide. I tried my best to save him when I found him, but it was too late. Let my experience serve as a testament to this song's message. The trauma of last year was the worst I've ever been through, and if I'm fortunate, the worst I'll ever have to go through. Instead of cursing my fate, I've learned to embrace it as immutable, as something that can either break or build, but never be changed. I must accept what is beyond my power to alter and let the unavoidable nature of darkness serve as a guide to more fully appreciate and exude the light. Humility, awareness, empathy, and forbearance are common results within the human spirit of being utterly crushed by the weight of life and death's trials. If those shining qualities are common results, how can the night be cursed in its entirety when it's capable of breeding such opposing beauty?
As this song's incredible lyrics convey: "Let the shadow permeate your mind and reveal the thoughts that were tucked away so that the door can be opened again. Within your darkest memories lies the answer if you dare to find it." I know there are a lot of people here who have suffered or who are suffering at the hands of darkness. None of you are truly alone. Where there is pain there can be healing, where there is failure there can be triumph, where there is death there can be life, where there is darkness there can be light. You're the one who can redefine it.
We all have to fight the darkness.
keep fighting brother, I belive in you.
italo Eide Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
Wow!!! This is very articulate and well written! People like you give hope and strength to others like me when we need hope the most. Again thank you for your words. Your pain has become others strength.
Lpa
Thank you😔🌹
I remember being a teenager listening to prayer. That song changed my life and I think this song very clearly continues the message. Soilwork actually has a song that I keep on my 'acceptance' playlist called 'wherever thorns may grow'. David Draiman was the first person to show me that we can heal from our pain and grow even stronger because of it.
I'm a Navy swcc special warfare combat crewman combat veteran I had a hard life in the military fighting now I'm 55 and I have a new enemy a unseen one M S I have been having issue's with balance, vertigo,walking equilibrium, I have all the symptoms they did a MRI on my spine and a ct Scan on my Brain I have lesion on my spine in the lumbar area and spots on my Brain I've been thru a lot in my life and now I have another battle I feel the world was crashing down on me I heard a few songs from disturbed and they have giving me strength to fight on I thought of eating a bullet but now I want to live thank you disturbed from the bottom of my heart and soul lol
thats too bad, hope you get better.
Thank you for your service man. Not a service member yet but will be before too long. One more thing, everybody talks about the Seals and how badass they are. Don't get me wrong because they definitely are badass! But even they get into some shit at times, and who do they call when that happens? The fucking SWCC!
Thank you for your service.
God Bless You. :)
Thank you for everything you've done, your strong YOU GOT THIS
I listen to this song on repeat when I am having an emotional breakdown because I lost my papaw to cancer back on March 16th, 2016.
Listening to this song makes some of the pain fade and able to bear even if it's just for a little while. It also gives me hope that one day the pain of losing him won't hurt as much anymore and that there is hope.
He basically raised me as a child and teen so he was more than just my papaw, he was a 2nd dad to me. He was my world, and he was there for me when no one else was. I miss him so much.
That's awesome ma'am
kbrown3550 I've known pain like that, especially to that damned disease. Though it's impossible to ever totally ignore the pain of losing those we love, I was raised to believe don't mourn the death, celebrate the life. No pain, no hurt, no loss can ever take away what that person was to you. Pain is fleeting in the long run. His is done now and yours too will fade but the good that person put in your life will last for as long as you hold them in your heart. And if you pass that same on to others lives and they pass it further then the person you loved will be immortal. So spit in the damned reaper's eye and celebrate life!
dramaends Thank you, I really needed to hear that
lost my grandmother on the same day
kbrown3550 Awe. That's too bad. Well...I hope it's gotten easier by now :3 I've personally never had the chance to care about about someone enough to gave them die and really affect me...but I have had people walk away. I know it's not the same, far from it, actually...but it does mean I can at least imagine what it's like. So, me and a billion others are here for you :3
Disturbed, i don't know if you will ever see this comment but... I know this song is more fitting for first responders, I just wish to say something.
I was committed to the decision of suicide a few weeks ago, my life is crumbling around me, and i feared there was no way out.
So i had it all planned out and was just waiting for an appropriate time that night, listening to your music...and out of nowhere this song appears on my playlist. And i take notice of the lyrics.
What im trying to say to the whole band, thank you, you saved my life. it gave me hope and that little push in the right direction.
Glad to see you decided to stick around with the rest of us, there's so much more to life than ones own dark feelings. I've been down your road, decided that no matter what I was going through it wasn't worth the gift of life that I was given.
Thank you. And i think the lyric that caused me to bawl my eyes out and decide to try and continue was "for when your world seems to crumble again, don't be afraid, don't you turn away, you're the one who can redefine it, dont let hope become a memory."
Glad you decided to stay on this earth with the rest of us. Life can be hard. Give God a chance. He can make such a difference in your precious life.
Congratulations. I don't know your backstory, but you have just proven to be stronger than most people.
And I know what I am talking about, having lost years of my life to depression, having to see all my dreams shutter and to face the reality that everything I wanted to achieve in life when I was young turned sour.
But _fuck_ it. Let people laugh. Let them judge. Because you know what? We came back from a very bad and incredibly dark place. A place where many people would not come back from.
So the plans you had crumbled? Your life comes apart on the seams? Hell yeah, I know exactly how scary that it and how much it hurts. But please, always, _always_ remember two things...
Suicide is a very permanent solution for a temporary problem.
And by not doing it, you already have shown that you are much stronger than all those people who are so proud of their supposedly successful lifes. Fuck them.
I just happened to notice your comment and I know it was 5 months ago...but I hope you are still doing good and have come to realization that EVERY DAY we have ABOVE GROUND is a GOOD DAY....even if it's the WORST DAY you've had in a LONG TIME. Hang in there and PRESS ON as it will only CONTINUE to GET BETTER. I felt just like YOU a little over 2 yrs ago when my HUSBAND of almost 17.5 yrs (22 yrs TOTAL) LEFT ME FOR ANOTHER WOMAN less than 12 hours after he'd sent me a TEXT MESSAGE from the OTHER ROOM of our home informing me that he'd be moving out the NEXT DAY and that he'd actually made that decision 6 months PRIOR when he began saving up money to leave me. I was DEVASTATED to say the LEAST. I KNEW we had some ISSUES just like almost EVERY married couple....but we'd created 2 beautiful kids together and had basically GROWN UP TOGETHER as we started dating when HE was 17 and I was 18. So...I basically didn't KNOW HOW to do LIFE without him by my side. Him telling OUR KIDS was the WORST OF ALL!!!!! ALL MY LIFE I had told myself that I DIDN'T want kids and WOULDN'T HAVE KIDS if I couldn't GUARANTEE that they would NEVER have to endure their HOME being BROKEN and so at the ripe old age of 29....I decided if we WERE going to have kids then we'd better DO IT NOW. I remember even asking my husband if he was SURE because DIVORCE would NOT be an option once we brought kids into the world because I was NOT about to subject them to the SAME kind of LIFE and CHILDHOOD that I had been subjected to from 8 yrs old and up. Of course he said he UNDERSTOOD and AGREED with me. Well....here I sit 2 years LATER at 42 yrs old, STILL UNEMPLOYED (had been a STAY AT HOME MOM for 12 years), a vehicle that's held together with DUCT TAPE and ZIP TIES and renting a house 1/5 th the size of my PREVIOUS home for MORE $$$ than what our mortgage was on our 3,000 sq ft. home. But even after ALL OF THAT...Im STILL able to see the BRIGHT SIDE and thank God for ALL that's happened to me....even the BAD.....because WITHOUT any of THAT....I wouldn't BE the WOMAN I AM TODAY and have the same APPRECIATION for ALL that I HAVE in MY LIFE and WHO I HAVE in MY LIFE. I wouldn't have the same CHARACTER that I NOW HAVE. Like they say....."WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU MAKES YOU STRONGER". That's why THIS SONG is SO FLIPPING POWERFUL to me.....it shows how even in the WORST PART of that firefighter's LIFE....he ends up FALLING IN LOVE with the woman that he otherwise maybe WOULDN'T have EVER MET.
Two years ago I was paralyzed by TM Transverse Myletis, due to a Covid vaccine. I had to learn to do so much again including walk. This song and video, its overlying message gave me so much hope. This son has always stayed in my library and helped during a recent health scare, yet again.
Hey David. I'm almost sure that you will never read this, but i want to thank you. I have been struggling with my life for the last 20 years, a lot of shit happened to me, lost someone close for suicide, someone i thought loved me tried to make me raise a child that wasn't mine, when was close to have my own child we lost it, and that person left me a few months later. I was feeling alone, nor worthy of anything, depressed, anxious, had suicidal thoughts, just carrying on in auto pilot every day. This year of reclusion helped/ forced me to fight many of my inner demons, thought that i deserve to be happy too and started to feel different about my life, looking for my path and my reason to be. In every breakdown point your music were there with me, songs like this one and "Stonger on your own" gave me a lot to think about, helped me -and still does- to gather strenght outta nowhere and keep fighting.
Thank you again for your company, even when you don't know who am i -and you probably never will- and for give us this songs to remember that we worth too, even when the world or the people seems to forget it.
Keep strong my brothers, and sorry for the bad english.
David may not see your story, but I certainly did. It moved me. Your life has certainly tempered your steel! Always keep pushing forward, no matter how hard it is. Stay strong, brother. 🤘🤘
I want to let you know that I've been seeing a handful of your comments regarding our posts being uploaded on our business page, so I decided to create a private page to appreciate the fans whose remarks and good wishes encourage me. I hope to bring you more. Kindly send me a direct message
I'm going through a lot of problems right now. This song helps me to remain positive. Everytime I see a building on fire, I think of when I ran through my house like a crazy lady to rescue my cat when I was 16. I'm not a fire fighter but I can relate to running through a fire to save someone.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
@@daviddraiman9057 Hi David. I'm managing deal with things day by day. I'm doing okay, all in all. How are you?
legit this band is what is keeping me alive, especially this song, I'm 18 with CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). and its been super hard for me to the point where my depression has gotten worse. Really this song is what makes me have hope that this will only be temporary and that all the pain I go through will be worth it.
Sokoda Embrie ❤️
Stricken also
So sorry. I too have chronic pain.. My best friend has something similar to you. She finally after a quite a battle, was flown from Vancouver Canada, to the mayo clinic US. They helped her get her life back. It was amazing. The to of us write hard rock. She's lead guitar, I'm rythum guitar & lead vocals. Because we have been battling illness, we had to put off promoting our stuff. Our demo was shown a lot of interest so now that we are better & hVe new material - life has turn around for us. You must be going through so much right now. I will pray for you. We were not able to work or go to college so played & wrote songs with a drummer, twice a week for years, as we were not well. We both often felt like failures in "real life". Also we don't think we can play very well, until we start rehearsing & then with a meek almost shameful look one of us will say I guess we're not too bad & laugh. Happens often, so I know the mental state sickness, pain & doctors leave you in.
Please don't get hooked on painkillers. My illness left me in a habitual circle with still pain. I had a thoracotmy - my chest cracked open & they took out ribs to
May God bless you.
It sure as hell is worth it! Goodluck with your illness my guy.
Who would of ever thought disturbed could sing a song that could be sung in church
Rest in peace my good old friend, Edward Jones... wish we knew ☹
Rest in peace Edward Jones, You will be missed.
I'm very sorry to hear that bro
Rest in your own peice of :(
I've walked that walk .. As a Firefighter .. I Got hurt and had to overcome my injuries .. But i had worked through the pain and mentle abilities.. The song lifts you up and give you hope to move forward ..
LYRICS
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
Turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You're waiting, hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow reckoning
Then your fears seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't' where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You’re the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory
Let the shadow permeate your mind and
Reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light, beautiful
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness can show you the light
Don't ignore, listen to me now (all is not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes darkness
Can show you the light
Thank you. I didn't have to look for the lyrics on internet and posing the music.
Thanks for the added value of conveniency.
🌹💃
Thanks man, really needed this
Uhuy
Musta took you forever
As someone who was left for dead at 16 by her boyfriend after a brutal attack it took years to be able to even trust anyone. I became an emt at 21 to help people like me overcome their fear and pain....I live daily with the memories and have never spoken to anyone about what happened to me. (Only my parents and him know and I am 53 years old) This song gives me hope one day I can get the images out of my head and move on
Use those images as a positive: You survived! You were hurt, but you keep living. Don't let him control your life. You didn't give up, and those images can remind you to never give up. Also, talking about it might help let go of them instead of letting them fester. Plus, they take away their power, his power, and give it back to you. You control who you tell, you control what you tell, and you control those images. Best wishes to you. I am also a survivor of abuse, so I have done most of these to take back my life from the nightmares and flashbacks.
@@shadodragonette no power is ever taken away from those people. She needs to MOVE ON, not fight. As she said so herself. People need to treat the world differently and realize that not everyone's the same. Some people just need a way out, not prolonging that fight indefinitely. For some, that way out is a win. Also, people need to stop visualising power as something physical. Nothing is taken away. There is no such thing as power. It's a figment of our imagination. There's only you and who you want to be. Forcing yourself to be "powerful" won't get you anywhere and is basically, living a lie. Life is balance. Instead of trying to fight for power and try to cut the abuser to size, no less than 40 years later, all she wants is to continue her life. She doesn't need a war. Or retribution. She needs peace. She wants to be at peace, with herself. I'm always puzzled how some of you just can't see or understand that.
God Bless you!!
It is with great sadness that I read your story. And whilest everyone needs to find a way to deal with experiences, I can only give you my advice. I was in the dark, I stared into the hole of depression. It was only when I started to be open about it, that I was able to free myself from the shackles. Now I dont suggest to go around and tell everyone. But please, for your own sanity: consider professional help. It is your live that needs to get back on track, and you have already waited a long time. Search for someone you like as a psychologist, but in gods name, DO. GET. HELP. You have this one life, do something that makes you enjoy it. Godspeed to you
no matter how much you remember. make sure to remember this one thing. at 21 you took a step away from the incident and turned it into something that could help others. you are not alone and you loved yourself enough to take what was a terrible and lifechanging situation and decided it wouldn't define you. that you could help others survive as you did. that takes a strength that he tried to destroy was stronger then him. He failed in what he tried to do. That takes a lot of strength and determination. coudos to you. You beat him.
" in your darkest memories; lies the answer if you dare to find it. "
Something recently happened with the family, and I had to do some diving through the past... Wasn't pleasant. This song has always been an eye opener for me, and continues to be. We have to learn from our mistakes, and those of others. Truths which have been hidden from you can usually be discovered by tracing the event and those involved.
I hope this song continues to be of help to everybody who listens to it.
It takes strength to find it!!!
I can't even sing this song without wanting to cry all because when it came into my life. It was after alot of failures, guilt and wishing I never woke up in that hospital room. Needless to say, he is right because now. I'm still here and even stronger than I was ever before. I just had to find my way out. In the process I found who I truly am. Everyday is a blessing and a gift that should never be taken advantage of. Thank you for coming in my life when I truly needed you guys.
Cindra, I too had those feelings. I was spared death after a Massive stroke that should have killed me did not in fact kill me. But I was left very broken both physically and mentally. I cursed G-d and begged for death. Now I realize it was the best and worse thing that ever happened to me. I have lived to see two beautiful granddaughters brought into this world. Although they are the icing on the cake. There is sooooo much more. Be Strong, Be Strong and Strengthen One Another.
It strikes your heart like a sledgehammer
This song was a source of comfort when my husband died 7 years ago. Thank you for the beautiful message!

I haven't followed metal for a long time. I'm 56, a Canadian Vet with PTSD and now an amputee. I got through every day of my service without losing any body parts. It recently was a bone infection that took my leg. Your cover of the Sound of Silence introduced me to you and your version had an impact. Then Reason To Fight hit me like a ton of bricks. This song has me looking for the light every day and every day I find it. I WILL walk again. Thank you for who you are and what you do. Keep going. You have a new fan.
My brother lost his lower leg at 18, as well as suffering major trauma and multiple injuries. He said, "I'm going to do everything I intended, I will just have to do it differently". And he did. He went on to win national competitions on a scrambler motorbike, drive, swim and parachute. Today, he goes hunting, on three week solo expiditions in the Australian desert, drives huge heavy duty excavating machinery for a living, has his own house and dog, and is in a very good place in his life. He is a great inspiration to me. I wish the same for you. God bless you!
@@m.forrestal5893 Thank You. I appreciate the well wishes. Glad your brotha is doing well for himself. I will fight. I will walk and I will continue on.
I have really been liking what Disturbed has been putting out and I am 63 years old! Great music, guys!
I'm 54 and have followed them from the beginning. They are amazing. David Draiman's voice is on par with the greats... Allison Krauss, Axle Rose, Serj Tankian, Wes Scantlin.
Rock On !
Thank you, disturbed, truly. These past few months have been rough, and I could feel myself slipping. After a long history of chronic depression, I didn't want to go back, and this song, however. Unlikely it seems, has helped me get back on the right track. Thank you!
+Luigi Right there with you my friend
Stay strong bud you are not alone.
Thank you, guys! I've started to come out of my dark place. Thanks again for your support!!!
Been through hell of both mental health collapses and neurological issues, plus other health issues in the last 6 months. 3 hospitalizations from suicidal plans and intents, and several ER visits for various health problems. Trying to work has been impossible because my health has been so fragile. I wondered if the hell would ever end. I've always dealt with depression and some problems in my life, but never to the degree that would impair my function as it has. It was crushing to my self esteem and I felt truly helpless at points.
However, recently things showed a great turn for the better. Hope became a real thing again. Life gets better. The storms pass. Don't give up hope. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, there's still problems I have to deal with, but I see reason to keep going now. Disturbed really nailed it, and this song hit home for me sooo much. Thanks for writing this song you guys.
+Allison Newberry thank you for sharing your story
what the hell is wrong with you?
Without darkness, there would be no light, because how could you see hope if despair was not there to rise up from? When things seem the darkest, that is when the spark shines the brightest in the blackest night. A single star, shining in the deepest abyss, shines because there is hope and joy in the world to find.
“We’re all broken, that’s how the light gets in”.
Underrated
We are not broken we are we are neverwe are cracked and crafts can be mended soaking broken things but we're not broken ever broken as long as you're still alive you're not broken Long as you take back control you're not broken we are correct we are not broken that's b*******stop saying people are broken if you don't know what you're talkin about maybe you feel broken but I feel
a lot of people don't know this about others, but it's true
THEE DEPTH... 🔥
That reminds me of Anthem a Leonard Cohen song. The chorus goes there's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. Keep the faith brother
Man I can't understand why there is 5.509 dislikes, the lyrics of this song are so beautiful, the sound too is very good
people with opinions different from yours.
Well, if someone dislike such a inspiring song like that, i don't know what to expect about that person...
Davi Souza I'm sure there are some good people in the world who dislike this song
My sister hates metal, but she loves the lyrics from this song. They're really isn't the matter of opinion in the lyrics to this song, it's either you get it or your just plainly stupid or just hate because your bored
UGNUG 71 I like metal, too, and I also love this song. IDK why you can't get it through your thick skull that some people just don't like this type of music, some people would rather listen to classical or old school rock and roll with the homeboi, Elvis. Maybe you should take a moment to realise that just because you're biased doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it.
I am 72 years young and the Beatles used to be my favorite group until a few years ago when I found DISTURBED. Pick any of their songs and they can be relevant at any time. I love them and they get greater and greater I have such respect for them. Really listening to the words can be meaningful to so many people. I find myself crying sometimes but only because their songs are the truth. The men in this group are heartfelt husbands fathers and friends and they really love their fans that is why they write and sing the songs they do. Many blessings to this fantastic group and their families. Love you guys and your relevant music.
66 and like you Disturbed is my favorite now!
69 and same! We can stop learning and growing, or keep going strong. My kids introduced me to Disturbed. Love their messages.
The most inspirational song, for those who are lost and discouraged in life
How can be possible that metal, the most biased genre, is one of the few that shows the best messages on its lyrics
+Nacho Akd Because it's not that famous nowadays as it used to be years ago, "music" right now it's about porn for all audiences
Ya
+carlos arias god-damn right. I hate today's pop and crap
+Nacho Akd Just out of curiosity, what do you mean by 'biased'? I'm not quite sure that would be true, so I'd like to know what you mean.
+Zach Bartu I was wondering the same
Sometimes you have too experience the Darkest nights before you see the Brightest days, Hurt comes before Healing.
The director of this video did an amazing job
My dad was a firefighter for almost 40 years and was still one when he passed away. We played hold on to memories at his funeral but I will always remember there were things he saw that he would never talk about. Thank you for this video. It really hit home for me ❤❤
