One thing I've noticed on songs like these is the amount of people who are willing to let out there darkest most deepest secrets to random strangers, but in all reality could never say them to the people in their lives, so for those of you who tell them to hold on and not to give up I salute you, we may never know the lives we touch but only that we can. 1 year sober as of August, the first year in almost 5 I've allowed myself to truly feel and this music resonates so well
+Richard McIvor Besides the internet tough guys there are a few good cases of humanity on the internet. It comes from being a faceless stranger to others, or not having to see someone so you open up more. Good luck with the sobriety, know a few people going through it.
+Richard McIvor I agree with you except I have no problem telling people about my shitty past because I do it for two reasons. One is to help people and show them that life can get better and the second is to shut the fuck up of little bitches that have no idea how hard life can be.
This song hits home for me. In 2 days I’ll be clean for 13 years. I have lost both of my parents way too soon but I’m grateful that they got to see me get sober and start a family.
After 20 years I got sober, 16mos sobriety n f-&--ed it up.. still can't find the strength.. but thanks for the words, hopefully it helps before it's too late
I was Jenny. I was the heroin addict that bounced in and out of rehabs, did time in prison, had several suicide attempts, was homeless, and nearly died from the disease. I suffer from Bi-Polar Disorder and went unmedicated for decades. I've been clean since January 19th, 2020 and am now in school for Social Work to become a therapist to help others that suffer from addiction. Anyone reading this, I Was Broken Too but I was able to get back up. Whoever you are, you are wanted, you are loved, and you are needed. Never hesitate to ask for help.
As a person who has now been sober for 9 years now, i will tell anyone else struggling that you can do this. Its in you. Its a demon you will fight forever but youre stronger than you know. Hang in there. You got this. I promise.
a little sleep, a little slumber a little folding of the hands left you weak, left you hungry when there's supply you still demand you're beginning to drag the ones you love down will this phase ever end? a thousand arms to hold you but you won't reach for any hands i don't feel like i'm getting through to you let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear see your mother here, her last painful year i wish you only knew... she stuck around for you maybe you should just fall leave the world and lose it all and if that's what you need...to finally see i'll be with you through it all bring on the pills, roll that dollar bill medicating will never heal relapse, rehab, repeat always thinking about the me, me, me self-destruct, spiral down until your want becomes your need please get up like I know you can or forever love the fall i can't stand to see you down strung out, off the wagon, and unwound steady....steady...oh god, jenny i can't bear to hear the sound of your body hitting the ground maybe you should just fall leave the world and lose it all and if that's what you need to finally see that she loved you through it all I'll be with you through it all
TeaJae Hitchens ive had the album playing for months and that song gets me everytime. if you wont save her please just take her. are some of the most powerfull lyrics ive ever heard.
[Verse 1] A little sleep, a little slumber A little folding of the hands Left you weak, left you hungry When there's supply you still demand You're beginning to drag the ones you love down Will this phase ever end? A thousand arms to hold you But you won't reach for any hands 'Cause [Pre-Chorus] I don't feel like I'm getting through to you Let me paint this clear Life is short, my dear See your mother here Her last painful year I wish you only knew She stuck around for you She stuck around for you [Chorus] Maybe you should just fall And Leave the world and lose it all And if that's what you need To finally see I'll be with you through it all [Verse 2] Bring on the pills, roll the dollar bill Medicating will never heal Relapse, rehab, repeat Always thinking about the me, me, me Self-destruct, spiral down Until your want becomes your need Please get up like I know you can Or forever love the fall 'Cause [Pre-Chorus] I don't feel like I'm getting through to you Let me paint this clear Life is short, my dear See your mother here Her last painful year I wish you only knew She stuck around for you She stuck around for you [Chorus] Maybe you should just fall (Just fall) And Leave the world and lose it all (Leave the world and lose it all) And if that's what you need To finally see I'll be with you through it all (I'll be with you through it all) [Bridge] I can't stand to see you down Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny (I can't) Bear to hear the sound Of your body, body hitting the ground I can't stand to see you down Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny I can't bear to hear the sound Of your body, body hitting the ground Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny (She stuck around for you) She stuck around for you (She stuck around for you) [Chorus] Maybe you should just fall Leave the world and lose it all If that's what you need To finally see, she loved you through it all (She loved you) Maybe you should just fall (Leave the world and lose it all) (All) If that's what you need To finally see She loved you through it all [Outro] I'll be with you through it all
Great job!! That's a hell of an accomplishment. I've been clean since 2017 myself. Took a lot of ups and downs, relapse after relapse but I finally did it. Admittedly it took some time in jail but I still did it and stayed clean after getting out. I don't even know you but I'm still happy for you. Former addicts need to support each other any way they can. Keep it going!!! 🤘🤘🤘
This song still makes me cry... my sister was addicted to meth for a few years and lost her kids... she’s now been clean for 3 years and has all of her kids, even a 3rd baby now 🖤 proudest brother ever
Fuck ya bro It's awesome to hear somebody that knows what they have and is damn proud of it. My best friend James lost his his battle with addiction and left this Earth 5 years ago, we grew up and became men together on the rough streets of L.A
My cousin gave up her kids to my aunt to take care of. In the mean time she got knocked up again by a dirt bag and for some reason even though she’s had tons of abortions she decided to have this one and as soon as she was born she gave her to a girl that can barely take care of herself. Now she tells everyone she’s clean but still runs with all the people that are strung out. She also has done nothing to get her daughter back that she gave away but posts pictures of her on FB saying she’s her daughter still when she hasn’t spent 10 hours around the kid for the 6 years she’s been alive. It’s so hard for people to comprehend the struggles of addiction. Hell I’ve been through it and don’t understand it completely. Fortunately I got clean before I ever had a daughter and I’ve stayed that way.
Man, something about that line "maybe you should just fall, if that's what you need to finally see" speaks volumes. It reflects the frustration of the writer with the person he's addressing, saying that it'll take her dying to realize she's killing herself.
Not dying, wants her to fall on her face. Sometimes ppl have to hit complete rock bottom to figure it out.. I needed to lose my life as I knew it to figure my new life out, and I wouldn't trade it for nothing
This is crazy.... today my boyfriend told me to look this song up before driving off to a sleep study (he has sarcadium rhythm disorder), and if I hadn't looked it up on youtube, I would have never caught on to what it's exact meaning was. My boyfriend told me it got him VERY emotional when he heard it. Why? Because I've been dealing with depression, bipolar, anxiety, social anxiety disorder, and substance abuse. I've had three suicides on my mother's side ~ my great grandfather, grandfather, and aunt. Toward the end of the song I got very emotional because it hit me what the song ultimately meant. Plus, my name is Jenny. The reason why I've never taken my life is because I could NEVER do that to my family, ESPECIALLY my mother. She's been through enough and it would be INCREDIBLY selfish of me to put her through it again. I finally went to get help six years ago (after months of wishing something would just end my life - a bus, a plane, a car crash, anything). Since then I've lost my job and pretty much all of my friends, and left college because I couldn't handle it anymore. This song would be powerful to me even if my name wasn't Jenny. With the medications things get easier for a time, but then they get tough again. The struggle is much like a seesaw ~ too many ups and downs to count. I also injured my back a while ago, for which I just went through two surgeries and had my L5~S1 fused. That's where the substance abuse comes in, however I had the surgeries to fix the problem so that it would be much more difficult to get pain medications. No pain, no pills, right? Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with this band, as with the many souls commenting here who are going through similar struggles. Thank you so much, Nothing More! It shows you truly care for your fans and beyond!
+Jen S join the club , you are not alone, my story mirrors yours except i am male i am 43 married and an addict.Have been for 28 years still not been able to kick the habit,Mental illness has plagued me from substance abuse,dr said it is a direct result from decades of abuse .Started meth at 14 Brandon in Iowa. I feel for you. I get extremely emotional listening to Jenny some days. Tears roll down the cheeks. sad life it is.
+Jen S Hey Jen, there's actually a lot at work on a spiritual level working against you. You were created wonderfully in God's image and he loves you. There are demons that only want to steal, kill and destroy that beautiful image that you are....because they hate God and everything that is God's. You can be free from every horrible emotion you listed. Be done with them forever. Jesus has the authority to send all of that back to hell where it came from.
This song is so much to me because I was Jenny before my mom died- she dragged out her pain to try and save my life, I got clean after she passed and this song my husband showed me and it literally saved me from killing myself. Every time I watch the video I remember so much & the part where it says “she stuck around for you” was exactly what everyone told me after my mom did pass.. it was everything I needed to go thru to get and stay clean. Today is my 4 years clean from the needle &
this is such a strong song...i cant help but to always tear up the lyrics are so real to me..i know ill never regret my moms love and caring and it hurts because knowing i've done things that weren't the best im glad my mom stuck around and i was able to recover..
This kind of music needs to be shown to people who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. This song suppresses my depression cause it makes me feel like I'm not alone in this world.
Honestly, as an addict myself. This just made me feel more like shit :/. Definitely wouldn't help out most of us,if anything it would make us more depressed and want to use more 🤷🏻♀️
right mw, this song was a gem locked away in my mind. im 29. i was discharged this am from the hospital. everything is overwhelming, and i have a lifetime of tragedy and pain, unbearable pain. today my dad calls me, i havent talked to him in years, he thought i was doing good and didnt have time for him, cats n the cradle shit. which couldnt be further from the trruth. hes getting me the help i finally need, just felt like i needed ti vent
Wow, heard this song on the way home from work and looked it up right when I got home. The lyrics really hit home big time, I'm a grateful recovering addict and for me that means I haven't used heroin or any drug in going on 5 months. I am still struggling, have had many relapses but I never give up. I have lost family, friends, you name it to this disease...it all started when I was 15 years old and I'm 28 now. And in the midst of it all I am a father to a beautiful little 5 year old girl, she gives me strength. I thank God every day that I am alive and healthy. To this day there are many people who wont talk to me, including family and the pain sometimes feels unbearable but it was my actions and choices that created my situation. I am so happy I came across you guys, this brought tears to my eyes...amazing!!
Gregory Miller also I was debating on writing this but my grandfather passed of cancer, he was like a father to me. During his last months/days I wasn't there like I should have been because I couldn't accept what was happening and just kept saying "he will get better...he has to" and he never did. He was a strong man, he held on as long as he could...and the weird thing is, I finally brought myself to come see him and we had this long great conversation and for a moment it seemed myself and him forgot about the cancer and all the bad things happening. Two days after that he passed...not a day goes by that I dont think about him. My substance abuse doubled...tripled after losing him, the guilt of not being there as much as I should because I was too busy using and isolating, didn't want to accept reality. To this day I still have those feelings, and I know there is nothing I can do to change it...I think I'll always be haunted by it..
+Gregory Miller . Everyone deals with sickness and loss in different ways. You did what you felt was right for you at the time. You should forgive yourself.
+Gregory Miller Hang in there and stay strong! I know the guilt you feel, but you cannot let it eat you. You were there before he passed, and he knows how much you loved him. I walked that same path for a long time. I was homeless at one point because I had lost all my friends, and my family had to turn away after years of trying to help, but I kept refusing. You just hit that point where you have to make a choice...Live or Die. I chose to die. I tried to OD on purpose, but someone found me and took me to a hospital. I spent 6 days in a coma detoxing. It was hard after that for a long time. It takes a minute to burn the bridge, but years to rebuild. I just passed my 9 yr clean mark. I have my family back and even have a 4 y/o beautiful daughter who is my life! All I can say is that you need to find that 1 person that you can talk to, without judgement! Use that person whenever you feel. And Just take it one day at a time, thats all we can do. Good luck :)
I dont think ill ever fully get over how my heart aches when he shows what i assume to be the true, raw photos of his sister/“Jenny” in the midst of her addiction. This whole video can easily be dismissed because people dont want to face it, but those flashes of pictures show the hard truth. Its messy, its disgusting, its depressing. Its real. Its sad. I cant thank Jonny enough for showing those pictures, even if they arent of the actual “Jenny”. It gives quick but harsh glimpses into the very harsh and very true reality of addiction. It is NOT something to be glamorized. Its horrific to be the one getting into it but its just as devastating watching your loved ones slip into addiction and worrying they wont be around enough to recover.
"Maybe you should just fall" Anybody else feel like this single line is one of the best ever written. It hits so hard....just by itself. Maybe its just me.....
I was Jenny. It's taken many years and a lot of hard work, but I can finally say now that I am in control. To anyone else struggling... there's always hope. There are people who care. YOU. ARE. LOVED.
Nothing More is absolutely incredible. Most people I know have no idea who they are which is a shame. This guy is a vocalist on another level, almost every song leaves me enthralled.
This one breaks me. And no one who isn't an addict can understand every layer of pain that it depicts. We're just moral failures to everyone and they are completely blind to a walking hell on earth right in front of their eyes.
Nothing more just became my new favorite band. This video is huge for anybody who is diagnosed or not yet diagnosed with a mental illness to let them know they are not alone. I'm currently attending school for my Masters of Science in Counseling and the biggest failure I've seen so far for mental health in America is the lack of awareness. We just try to sweep mental health under the rug and shun anybody diagnosed. Thank you for this video and for anybody who is struggling with addiction, thoughts of suicide, or any form of mental illness you don't have to fight it alone.
much love friend. thank you for your support. this song is amazing and its message should be eye opening. mental health disorders are so disregarded, yet are so prevelant in society. those like myself suffering with depression, for example, shouldnt feel alone. this song sends that message. youre not alone. we're never alone. look out for eachother people, were all friends and family on this earth.
This is one of the most powerful songs of the last 10 years in mainstream radio. It's been awhile since we have had such a distinct sound that is instantly identifiable in Nothing More.
My mom waited for me to get sober before she died. I was only six months clean from alcohol when she died. The first time I heard this I cried my eyes out, it hit home so hard. I've been alcohol free for over three years but just substituted it for pills. I feel like I've completely let her down. I took the pills to keep from drinking when she died. Now I feel I have nothing to live or even try for since she's gone. I praise everyone that has gotten sober and stayed that way. You're way stronger than you know and don't let anyone tell you any different. Because addiction is a bitch and it's a challenge to get through each day and nobody knows how hard it is unless they've experienced it. So keep it up and keep your head up. I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm not stopping until I beat it.
You will get there. So much admiration for your hard work. Keep fighting. You will make it. And I'm sure your mom is proud of you, even now cause she knows you keep fighting and that's the most important ! Be proud of how far you already come
Acknowledgment is the first step. I feel for you knowing the struggle and having been through it, got clean to just relapse after 3 years of being totally sober. You really have to have time to fix yourself and that's what this world doesn't get. It's not a snap of the fingers and it's gone. I pray for you and my heart goes out knowing your struggles. I know your mother is proud of you no matter and only wants to see you love your self again.
Amor Fati.... " A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it"- Marcus Aurelius. You must forgive and Love yourself and everything that has happened to you. You are made of carbon and what happens when you put carbon under extreme heat and pressure?, a Diamond is created! . Use it all the good the bad the pleasure the pain everything and like fuel for the fire you will become a lovely and bright Star. Become a diamond, you lovely woman.
You do have something to live for! My father died unexpectedly after asphyxiating on my 21st birthday. Yes that was extremely difficult but through all my ups and downs, the things I’m proud of and the things I kick myself for, I try to make things simple by just doing my best to make the right decisions no matter how big or small they are. I do this because I just want him to look down and see me trying! I truly hope you find something each day, large or small, to give you happiness!
This song.. thank you so much nothing more. Every day, a struggle just to keep the head above the waves of depression and anger. Your music.. is a life line. Thank you so much.
I know this wasn't easy to write, performe, record, and share with the world so thank you. Your message will help many people. The lyrics are powerful and very real.
I swear this band needs to be recognized among the elites such as Breaking Benjamin, Skillet, Three Days Grace, Green Day, Linkin Park, Shinedown, etc. There's no reason why they shouldn't be. I have became a huge fan of Nothing More, They got such amazing songs as Jenny, This is the time, Mr. MTV, Here's to Heartache, I'll be OK, If I were, God Went North, Go to War, Do You Really Want It?, Funny Little Creatures, Who were are, etc. There are very few bands which produce quality music. Nothing More Delivers!
They definitely should be man, they are better than alot of the bands you listed too. It's honestly just unfortunate how it works. But regardless. All we as true fans can do is show our support.
This band will always be dear to me So many of their songs hit me hard in the feelings. I can't explain how the lyrics feel so much at once I identify with this song so much
NothingMoreVEVO Utterly impressed by not only the video and song in general, but by the strength it must've taken to produce this. I've struggled with depression and self harm for all too much of my life, and it's music like yours that keeps me going. Can't wait to see you all again asap and hopefully get a chance to talk to you again and share my thanks for movements like this. #iknowJenny
Nothing More I'm new to your music. First time I ever heard you all was at Louder than Life. You definitely make awesome and thought provoking powerful music. Thanks and keep it up.
Nothing More I got into you guys when I purchased The Few Not Fleeting album, and have been a fan ever since, I have a feeling Jenny just wasn't an influence for just this song.. I have a feeling she was a huge influence during Waiting On Rain as well, including whoever "he" may be.
Man, it's not easy to make a song that can be so meaningful to someone but also just be an absolute headbanger to someone else. Gotta be one of the best songs ever imo.
I saw a few interviews with Johnny talking about where this song comes from and why he wrote it. what's crazy to me is that I heard the interview before I heard the song. What he said in that interview was nearly the same as the lyrics to the song. The raw amount of emotion and struggle in this song made it hit even harder. Cancer is a terrible thing to watch a person go through. And trying to be there for everyone else can be hard, especially when they wanna shut the reality out. They end up shutting out the only people who are there for them until everything is gone. He's a strong guy to deal with all of that, and this song shows that he has his heart in the right place. One of my favorite songs by far.
I just want to say Thank You. This is the first song that really portrays how the addict's loved ones suffer too. I heard it on Octane this morning and you gave the back story and I immediately weld up with tears. It was like you were singing my feelings. My brother is a recovering addict. This helps us heal too. So Thank You for this!
This song is probably one of my favorites by you guys. I have family members with substance abuse problems so it does hit close to home but it definitely helps knowing others encounter this
One of the absolutely most powerful songs out there to date. If you hear this through high quality headphones and FEEL this, it will make anyone with a heart break down.
This song really hits home for me I am bipolar and I struggle with it everyday and when I heard this song and saw the video I cried its so powerful and the meaning behind it made me realize that bands like nothing more do care and they want to help so this touches my heart deeply.thank u so much for making such an amazing video on such a serious issue this song means alot to me and your bands music has been helping me through alot of rough stuff in my life right now and I can't thank you enough.
i agree 2% of people get away from that particular thing. im a 2%er stay strong it gets better almost 7 years clean here thought it wasnt possible until it was. The thought never goes away but the darkness does..... Eventually. stay strong.
I've lost more family to heroin, alcohol, and prescription medicine abuse than I want to admit. My family has been wrecked and the havoc it has caused is unparalleled. The schisms these issues have caused have nearly ruined my family at some points but for some reason, we've been able to struggle through it. After losing my cousin (one of my closest relatives) last year, I'm really happy that a band has created something that I can listen to so as to heal in some manner.
Damn, glad we can provide some hope or consolation through our music Anthony. There are too many people who are crippled by these things. Hopefully we can change that. Much love. Thanks for the comment man
Oh, we're definitely on an up slope as of right now. At least, my immediate family is anyways. This song has for sure given me a lot of closure for the mistakes that have been make in the past. Thanks, guys! Also, you friggen killed it at the Seattle show at the Corzon. Definitely gained a new fan from me with your live show!
Today I learned I've known Nothing More for longer than I realized I've been a fan of these guys since Let's Go To War was playing on the radio, and lately half my searches on TH-cam have been their songs, so it came as a total shock to me when I saw Nothing More scroll across my radio with this song playing and realized I already knew it. For a moment I thought it was a cover because all I could think was that I've not heard this one yet... until I looked it up and realized how old this song is. It was such a treat to rediscover this song after so many years. This band is truly amazing, and apparently I've been a fan longer than even I realized!
This song gave me the strength to keep moving forward. Last year near the end of March I attempted suicide and was admitted to a psychiatric ward. I was there for two and a half weeks but I didn't learn anything or get any help. All the doctors there did was give me medication that made me sleep all day and loose my appetite. I was released in early April and went back to school to finish the year off. That was in 8th grade. I barely passed with D's in every class. Over that summer things got a little bit better but never seemed to be good enough for me. I quit playing softball and shut myself down. My doctors decided that having electronics and social media accounts were causing a lot of stress and emotional damage to me because of people bullying me anonymously through ask.fm and fake instagram accounts. I got all of that taken away by my Mom and started attending therapy monthly. My freshman year went horribly and started horribly. I picked up my old habits of self harm and I became really aggressive towards my family. Two weeks before my freshman year came to an end, one of my 'friends' gave me an iPod so that i could use social media again. That same night my Mom found it and got really angry at me. I instantly was filled with regret. I doubted her intentions and went against her ways that she only enforced for my good. I made a very impulsive decision and I spent a half an hour in my room cutting my arms from my elbows to my wrists and my thighs to my knees. I started feeling really woozy while wiping away endless flows of blood onto tissues. I decided that I would keep cutting until I lost enough blood to end my life. I went downstairs to get into the shower like my Mom asked, figuring i would finish the 'job' there. Before I went into the bathroom my Mom said I was holding my sweater funny and she requested a 'body check'. We went into the bathroom and after much argument I got undressed and showed her what I had already done. My Mom fell to the floor and started screaming. She wouldn't stop crying and she screamed for my Dad to take me to the hospital immediately. I spent 16 hours in the ER and was then admitted to a different psychiatric ward and was there for 10 days. I accepted the help they offered me there and found myself. I finally came to the realization that I deserved better. The day I was released my Mom came to take me home. She had been crying, I could tell. I asked her if she was okay and she told me about a song she had heard on the way to visit me the first night I was in the hospital. She said it was called "Jenny" but she didn't recognize the band. She then said that while she was on her way up to get me that day, she heard the song again. But this time, it was fading in and out with the song "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's, which me and my Mom sing to each other all the time while cleaning the house. She started crying then and seeing her hurt made me hurt because of me made me hurt more than I have in my entire life. I typed in 'Jenny' to the TH-cam search bar two weeks ago and the song came up by 'Nothing More' and I knew it was going to be a song that stuck with me for the rest of my life before I had even heard it. After listening to it on repeat for an hour, I went and told my Mom how much I loved her and was thankful for her. Now I am going on 8 weeks 'clean' and I am turning 15 on September 2nd. I'm being homeschooled next year to avoid bullies and begin DBT group next week. A lot of people have told me I am "too young to understand how life works", which may be true. But without my Mom, I wouldn't be able to be able to hear "Jenny" and share with anyone who reads this that nothing is impossible. There's no reason to doubt yourself in any situation. Things do get better and there isn't a single person in the entire world who doesn't deserve the best for them ad then some. I hope that those who hear "Jenny" know that there's someone out there to help them. Mine was my Mom, and without her, I wouldn't be able to say that #iknowJenny and that I have finally accepted myself and have found my path to the life I want. Thank you Nothing More for helping me realize what was there all along (:
+madi summer Much respect for telling your story. Keep your head high and let the haters take their place behind you. You're stronger than they ever will be. #iknowjenny
+madi summer I got to cry in the part where your mother listened to this song. don't let anyone tell you how young you are to understand how life works after everyting you've been through. Let me give you some humble advise. In my experience, practicing sports has helped me a lot, they made me a lot stronger in my body and my spirit. don't do it to compete, do it for yourself, do it freely and don´t let any coach expects from you more than you are willing to give. you don't need that kind of pressure. individual activities can help you avoid bullies a lot, but they can also isolate you. so you should look for something you like that you can do with others but being aware of how partners treat you. just aware, don't go paranoid like me, lol. music has saved my life a lot of times too. I can't live without it
I am 2 years sober from alcohol and this song really kept me motivated to keep pushing. I still get goosebumps every time I hear this unbelievably powerful song and I've probably listened to it over 1,000 times. I absolutely love Nothing More and the meaningful music they create. Thank you so much for helping me with my addiction and depression fellas!!!! #IKnowJenny
My mom is suffering from depression, and sometimes it is hard to keep house with her. I sent her this song... its like she is someone completely new and positive after I have shared this with her. Because it is a bit too harsh on the ear for her because she is use to listening to old people music, I sent her the lyrics... she told me she loves this song and thinks about Grandma's last year alive... and that she has now more than ever reason to live and be positive.
When going through struggles, any kind of struggles, I think it's important to know you are not alone. Find yourself a group with people who have the same kind of problems. For me it worked wonders. I joined a talk group and just being there, hearing the others stories and struggles, it was just such a relief to know I was not alone and I gained a lot of strength hearing the others talk and deal with their problems
just have to add. i have struggled with a drug addiction for almost 28yrs and have been clean for over 5yrs. i know what its like to feel nothing. your not alone
Nothing More Nah, the praise is well deserved, saw you guys on the Juggernaut Tour and your performance was by far one of the best shows I've ever seen. Keep up the good work guys.
This has to be my favorite song ever..... I tear up every time.. The lyrics are so strong and touching every time. Thank you so much for making this song for everyone who suffers from any type of mental illness, or for just making music in general.
I am 15. My grandfather suffers from addiction. Drug abuse. He has had two strokes. He only ever contacts us when he needs something. He doesn't know that I've attempted multiple times now, nor that I suffer from mental illness. This song helps me so much. Thank you.
I dont normally send message to bands. But this song goes straight to the heart. It drove me to listen to the rest of your music. It is awesome! Thank you for your work!
Saw them live in Corpus Christi TX and before he played this song he explained how it was about someone very close to him and that if you are depressed or suicidal then reaching out and knowing your not alone is extremely important.
I have learned throughout my time that we shouldn't allow anyone to go through this kind of pain. If you ever feel lost and alone. Know that im praying for your heart and mind and soul and body to recover. Please know there are those who care. Much love. ❤
Addiction and mental illness go hand in hand. Just lost my sister a couple days ago to both and this song was what always made me think of her, I never imagined I'd have to bury her. To the ones able to pull yourself out of addiction and depression and all else. I truly salute you it is no easy thing whatsoever keep your head up always. You overcame one of the most difficult challenges anyone could face
Keep it up!!! Im in recovery from drugs sober for past 9 years. But its very difficult with my mental health as doctors arr afraid to prescribe shi+ properly. God bless
Sending love. I do not know either of you but have to relay a message to you.... Stay strong sister and know she's not battling any demons anymore. She is free from all the pain and darkness ever felt on this planet during her stay here. Also, she is with you and has shown you that in only a way you'd know......if that makes sense. Also, I keep seeing a campspot by a river, dry grass, very hot out, some type of stinging yellow jackets, and breakfast burritos... Have peace, NO OTHER OPTION SIS. because "I can't stop smiling", she says. She has an extremely bright, almost blinding light. Which I've never seen sooooo bright. Tells me she's an Angel, and her halo is HUGE. My intention is to share the information I get, not to be weird or in anyway hurtful. I don't know why or how I see people that have passed, but my mom said, most will want to know. So do not deny anyone their message. Some might say im cra cra but the closure I give is far more important. Have a shiny day!!! Wow she's full of energy and a very strong will to get through to you. She just does NOT want you sad at all. It's not good bye, it's see you later.....😁😘😁😁😁
@mcweaver912 wow this got me teary eyed. I very much needed to see this. For a long time after she passed I'd dream of her and in my dreams I'd always see her smile and I knew that she was free of the worldly burdens. It still hurts knowing she's not here in this world anymore but also it's kind of a relief to know she's safe now and not out in the streets, or cold at night. Thank you for this ❤️
I have had major depression and panic attacks for my entire life. I tried self-medicating and damn near died. I got clean and sober at just 19. So glad my mom got to see that. She passed away several years after that after battling cancer, the panic attacks got worse and I finally sought help. It was like having the lights turned on after a lifetime of living in darkness. On my mom's following birthday, I successfully quit smoking, her dying wish for me. It hasn't been easy, no happily ever after. Medications stop working, adjustments have to be made. I still am suicidal at times, but I tell myself "no, not today" and I force myself to hang on one more day. Eventually the day comes when I am so grateful that I didn't act on those feelings. The truth is, for anyone, that bad feelings never last, nor do good ones. Some days we have to adjust our sails and battle the waves until we find our ocean of calm. To anyone who is struggling, PLEASE give it one more day. You'll never know how close you were to the miracle if you give up. My prayers are with you, and I love you.
If you mean by lyrical context then search up A perfect circle The outsider, or Tool. If by music then i'm sorry i don't feel like i'm getting through to you.
The meaning of this song hits me right in the feels and much love to anyone who's suffering ... Depression is hard to deal with and I can definitely empathize with beautiful, yet tortured souls. Feeling everything is both a blessing and a curse
This song made me cry and not because I’m weak but because of what I’ve overcome. As of today I am 1 year and 4 months sober. This song reminds me so much of myself and what I put my family through for the past ten years while I was using heroin and sticking a needle in my arm. I really appreciate music like this. It really helps the healing process, so thank you to the band Nothing More❤ we love you
I've struggled with mental illness, basically, since I was born. I have sensory processing disorder, which makes certain senses unbearable. By the time I was five I was exhibiting symptoms of OCD. By nine, I was already severely depressed and having suicidal thoughts. Over time, we found that I had anxiety and panic attacks, as well. I self-mutilated, ended up in psych wards three times, and I still struggle on a day to day basis to keep fighting. Thankfully, I have a damn good support system so I have a way to fight my illnesses rather than suffer alone (though that's what I try to do anyway, until it becomes too much). I'm more than likely going to live with these illnesses for my entire life, but I will always keep fighting. I refuse to fall. I'm too stubborn for that, and I refuse to let my family bury me. Edit): Oh, my goodness. You all are awesome. Thank you so much for your support, and some of you, for sharing your own stories. It means the world to hear from you and read your encouraging words and know that no one who struggles is alone. It also tells me that we're breaking down the stigmas attached to mental illness, which means that more people can get the help they need. But there's still a lot of work to be done. Please, lift your voices whenever you can in support of those who suffer from mental illness, break the stigmas, and let people know they aren't alone. You are all beautiful and amazing, and your kind hearts and words can change the world, even if you're only changing the world of a few people at a time. Again, thank you so much.Words cannot express how grateful I am to each and every one of you.
+DarkSpiritMorrigan I respect you for that and admire the willpower you have! Maybe, you could possibly give me some advice on my niece if you don't mind. My sister adopted two kids when they were around tenish years old and the girl is 15 now and out of no where started doing extreme things like started sleeping around with 3 or 4 guys that we know of, started cutting herself, even went as far as sniffing dishwashing powder so there's no telling what else she has done! She also started saying that she wants to kill herself. Do you think she could have something like that coming from the view of a person that may have experienced it would have some great advice on the her situation! She also has lesions on the brain and seizures and just thought you may have some helpful advice!
Nevada Campbell I would suggest therapy and visiting a psychiatrist. Bakeracting her in to hospital as a last resort if you feel she's a danger to herself or others might also be a good idea, but be prepared for her to be pissed. Not being a professional, I'd think she has depression. People with depression generally try to find ways to cope, to gain some sort of control, but sometimes what they find is dangerous and leads to addictions, which people can be predisposed to. Depression may very well be at the root of her actions, and depression coupled with teenage hormones is a special hell. Depression coupled with any other physical condition plus being a teenager has to be the ninth circle of hell. Again, I'd suggest taking her to someone who could accurately diagnose and help her. If possible, try to get her to talk to her mother, or you, or any adult that she trusts so she can get some of whatever she's feeling out without feeling like she's being judged for it. Really listen to her. Let her know you're there for her, you love her, and that you're worried. Let her know that whatever she is feeling, she doesn't have to go through it alone. I hope this helps, and I hope she gets better.
DarkSpiritMorrigan Thank you for the information! My sister has been taking her to a psychiatrist but he seems to be doing nothing to help her! I can't help for thinking it has to do with depression like you said because at that age everyone is angry and feels like something is wrong with them etc., Her friends have kind of distanced themselves from her because she had a seizure on the bus and it scared her friends to death!! I'll try just listening more to her because she knows she let my sister down she said!
So close to my heart. I battle with depression and Bipolar. My sister does also but hers is much worse. This video and the lyrics pretty much sums up my sister. I can't tell you enough how much this hits home for me. Thank you for such a powerful message and video.
By reading the countless comments on here, your website and on Facebook, I know that this video hits so close to home for so many people. Being so that my name is Jenny and this story is unbelievably similar to mine well...its effect on me in profound. When I heard this song for the first time I was just in my early days of recovery. I have been struggling with addiction and alcoholism from the very first time I drank and did drugs at the age of 13. I have been in a battle with my demons ever since until recently. I put my family and friends through pain and heartache. They watched me self destruct in front of their eyes there was nothing they could do. I had to help myself. When I first got sober (the first time) 6 years ago I was diagnosed with bi-polar II disorder. This explained why self medicating was the only way at the time I knew how to handle feeling so awful. Not knowing of course that it just exasperated my mental disorder. I was sober for over 2 years and my dad passed away from cancer and I turned to drugs and alcohol to try and deal with the pain and loss. It has taken me 4 years to get to where I am today. I am sober and happy and this song is a reminder of how bad it can get. Not just for me but for everyones lives I am involved with. Thank you so much for sharing your personal story with millions of people. You have such powerful messages in your songs that I am forever a fan and forever grateful. I felt like "someone" was speaking directly to me when your band was put in my path. Your impact in incredible. Thank you again.
I know how it feels to be comorbid. I'm two years sober almost three and struggle with depression. It's a trip, I almost removed someone very important to me because of it. The pills and alcohol didn't help anything. You're strong and please share your story with others so that they'll know there is hope. Peace and love. And congratulations. You deserve a good life.
I don't know anyone struggling with addiction but this song hits me like I do. To all the "Jenny's" out there -you don't have to suffer and fight a lone, you probably have someone in your corner that loves you and has fought for you since day one. Don't make them fight a lone either!
They have mastered the ability to have a song with great emotion and a music video that ties alongside it. I have Major Depression, Anxiety disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and I know my life is tumbling down the drain. When people try to make me feel better, I feel nothing. I don't have anyone but me to rely on. I've cried so many times listening to this song... I know Jenny, and she's me.
things will get better. ive had mental health issued for a long time and ive lived through it and gotten stronger. the weight of it doesnt get lighter, i just get stronger and one day you wil too. stay strong 💙
Did someone tell you that you have border line personality disorder? Sounds like you haven't seen a professional about your problems. As much as you hate to.. surround yourself with your family often or friends. Just dont do it alone. I tried to kill myself when i was 16. I took 100 tylenol PM's and i regret it. Depression is a real thing and its suffocating. Medication didnt help it will make it worse (in my opinion) just try and keep your mind on simple things that wont stress you out. Whenever you feel like people don't like you just realize people are ignorant and they judge you for insecurity reasons. Your loved just know i love you! Im married with kids and i used to be an addict, was raised in foster care and have no other family besides my wife and kids. I love my life because i know who i am im still learning more about who i am and who i want to be. You have to know its a phase your going through and find what you want to do and forget what people think about you
This was my favorite song on the CD before I knew the real meaning of the song. Coincidently my best friend was Bi-polar manic depressant type II with schizophrenia . He was an incredibly talented musician who took his own life and was buried on my birthday. Glad to see you guys using your music to bring attention to a worthy cause.
Ive never had a song that hit as close to home as this one. Word for word. Ive battled mental illness and addiction for the better part of my life. And i lost my mother to suicide. This song just randomly came on my playlist. I feel like it was my mom reaching out to me. Thank you❤
Bipolar disorder really is a shitty thing to deal with. When untreated, the manic instability and the inability to have any sort of balance, it’s either great or it’s awful, is just so stressful and draining. The highs are a relief, while the lows make you want to just end it all so you don’t have to feel that pain anymore. As someone who struggles with this disorder, I am beyond grateful that Nothing More made such an amazing song as a way to speak out about it. #iknowJenny
@@wikadre8100 the song is fly on the wall from thousand foot krutch. Its really really really good !! Great lyrics !! It speaks to me in a way that i cant let the influence get into my head, and to push forward. That we can be better, etc.!!
If you haven't already check out maybe its time its by sixx am with Ivan Moody, Cory Taylor, Joe Elliot from Deff Leppard, Brantley gilbert, all the members of awolnation and tommy vext from bad wolves its purely about addiction but I find it helps me with my depression
I love this song and the band. Their songs have so much meaning. I can't listen to God Went North without crying. I've only seen them perform live twice, but they were amazing both times. I met them this year when I saw them for the second time. It was awesome meeting the band and I can't wait to see them again.
I've been a cutter for 20 years in recovery for 2, a recovering opiate addict for 3 years and I've died on the way to the hospital twice.. life is definitely short and I've only stayed because of my son. I am sober, happier, and healthier now thankfully but it takes only one thing to break it. Hopefully I'm stronger now than I was then. #iknowjenny
This somg reminds me that their are people who love me, i know it, drugs made me feel alone even when im surrounded by my children and people who care, there is help out there im 90 days sober and can feel that love again, keep your chin up!
They are amazing in concert ❤ I feel this on a deep level, I watched my best friend overdose without realizing what happened, luckily I got her to the hospital in time for them to bring her back, she took her last three breaths in the front seat of my Jeep and I thought I lost her for good. It's hard to watch those you love go through life struggling with addiction and when you have anxiety and depression like I do, it's that much harder. Because I always think of the what if. Thank you for being a band. Thank you for having something people can truly relate to. Thank you for everything ❤
I always hear this song on the radio and had no idea what it was about until I watched this video...and so here is my story...at the age of 19 I joined the Marines...at the age of 23 I was honorably discharged...during those 4 and a half years I made close bonds with fellow Marines and service members...when I went to Afghanistan, I saw so much hate and death...I even took human life myself...I will never forget the moment that the wheels of my shredded CH-53 touched the tarmac and seeing fellow Marines...fellow humans...just sitting in their seats nothing but but bloody pulps after small arms fire ripped through the fuselage...somehow I survived...later...after I got out of the military...I couldnt deal with the empty loneliness and survivors guilt and almost put a bullet through my head at age 25...I resorted to meeting women online and having meaningless sex and ended up getting arrested when one of them lied about her age and turned out to be 16...I went to prison for 2 years...when I got out...I found out that not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4...yes FOUR Marines that I had served with had taken their lives...the first one got out and put a shotgun in his mouth...the second one was still on active duty when he put an M240B machine gun under his chin...the third overdosed on heroin...the fourth hung himself...it left me fucking broken inside knowing that here I still was because I didnt have the guts to pull the trigger when I was 25...but someone pointed out to me that I am a survivor that it took more strength to NOT pull the trigger because of the fear of how it would destroy my family and the hope that life would get better and that was all it took...since then, I have took to bodybuilding and offroading and soon to open my own gym and being a more outgoing fun energetic person...to be honest...here I sit now in October of 2019 at the age of 30 and I love my life...if you read this and you want to know more...leave a comment, my notifications are on...if my story can positively impact even one person's life...then I know I have succeeded
SABER88RZ 8 love it man. Keep pushing for your dreams. My dad threatened suicide when I was 6 and I resented him for it for a long time. He was suffering and ended up getting help and he is still here and I am so glad he is every day.
My friend was a marine. I would pick him up and drop him off before/after his deployments. He told me there was no one to talk to if you needed help. So he would call me up and tell me about chemicals and friendly fire. He showed me a video of his platoon having less than 10 secs to get out of a building. Then his military blew him out of it. It was kind of shocking to see that kind of friendly fire. Also that if you wanted help back then you would get discharged medically or whatever. I would like to help more people one day. If i ever get through my degrees etc. Glad you are building yourself up now. Just remember there are fellow soldiers and civilians that could benefit from your knowledge and listening ear. You have a lot to give and get in this life :)
Semper Fi brother I knw the feeling man, I struggle with the guilt of what I did in Afghan myself if u ever need to talk i am here brother. We as Marines are never gonna be out of the fight its who we are now. Semper Fi brother much love
This song reminds me of 2017 when I was so immersed into my addiction that I lied to my mother for months. She kept trying to get through to me and I knew I had a problem but stuck it out continuing it. The lines that say "she stuck around for you" broke me because my mom never quit on me. I got help and rehab since then and I'm glad she's still around to see me clean. I couldn't imagine losing her and being too numb to the world to even fully grasp that.
This song has been incredibly important to me while battling alcohol addiction and mental illness, it is one of the most cathartic things no matter how many times I listen to it. Nothing More is amazing.
Jared Lestik check out “upper drugs” by Truly Suspect. I’m battling some tough times and that song also hits me. That song brought me to this video randomly
Got put on this song/band 5 years ago when I was 14 by some people I will never forget in a time in my life I’ll never forget. The whole time period had such an affect on my life and, this song embodies it perfectly. I feel like ever since then I’ve been changing the way I felt when I fist heard this song. It truly has had such an affect on my life. Great fuel for it and the battles it’s gotten me through and represents in my life.
Lost a nephew to suicide, so painful for the whole family. A big thank you and mad respect for songs like this that bring the issue of addiction and suicide to the for front.
This song inspired me to get clean and fix my life. There is so much about this song that rings true for me. I've lost a lot to addiction. More than I care to talk about. But this song helped me realize that I still have a life to live and people who want to see me do better. I had to first address my mental health, but once I did that I finally had the strength to kick my addiction in the teeth. It's never too late people! I was an addict for over 15 years and basically flushed away my 20's and part of my 30'. But now, even though life isn't always perfect or fun, I have things on the right path and a life that I've built for myself over the past 4 years. Happiness is a state of mind. Not something the universe just grants to you. It's all based on your perspective of the world. Change your perspective and change your life. It's really that simple. Stop bullying yourself and start talking yourself up and telling yourself it's a wonderful day to be alive even if you have your nuts caught in a bear trap! Oh, and get the hell off of social media! That's where all the Karen's congregate and spread their Karen manifestos. You're better than that.
I'm sure we have all been jenny at some point in our lives, in own own way, drugs, alcohol, depression, anxiety, abandonment, whatever your demon is. The fact that we are here today to listen to this and look back is an accomplishment itself. I personally relate to this because my mother stuck around for me, in her own way, because I'm sure she was Jenny herself at some point. She went through some fucked up things in her teenage period and could have lost herself to depression very easily. Our parents aren't any different from us, they also go through some shit and do bad things/take bad decisions and many of them throw the towel and call it quits. To me, the fact that she didn't give in to suicide or decided to live her life without me and found strength to still be with me to see me grow and become a better person and be a better person herself, makes me see things with a much more understanding heart, appreciate the effort and recognize we all fuck up, but we can never give up.
Lyrics: A little sleep, a little slumber A little folding of the hands Left you weak, left you hungry When there's supply you still demand You're beginning to drag the ones you love down Will this phase ever end? A thousand arms to hold you But you won't reach for any hands ‘Cause I don't feel like I'm getting through to you Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear See your mother here, her last painful year I wish you only knew She stuck around for you Maybe you should just fall Leave the world and lose it all And if that's what you need To finally see I'll be with you through it all Bring on the pills, roll that dollar bill Medicating will never heal Relapse, rehab, repeat Always thinking about the me, me, me Self-destruct, spiral down Until your want becomes your need Please get up like I know you can Or forever love the fall ‘Cause I don't feel like I'm getting through to you Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear See your mother here, her last painful year I wish you only knew She stuck around for you Maybe you should just fall Leave the world and lose it all And if that's what you need To finally see I'll be with you through it all I can't stand to see you down Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound Steady, steady, Oh God, Jenny I can't bear to hear the sound Of your body hitting the ground Oh Jenny Jenny Jenny Stuck around for you He stuck around for you Stuck around for you Maybe you should just fall Leave the world and lose it all And if that's what you need To finally see She loved you through it all Maybe you should just fall And if that's what you need To finally see She loved you through it all I'll be with you through it all!
I always think about my mom whenever I hear this song. my mom recently died from cancer in August this year and she had been battling many different types of cancer since 2011 and I was handling it all of the wrong ways and I couldn't even hug my mom because of how much I put her through the past couple of years with me struggling with self harm and depression and wanting to commit suicide and it was so selfish of me putting her through that because of how much she was suffering herself. she's the reason I hadnt killed myself. these past few months have been so hard and ive been trying to not fall back into old habits of mine. I'm finally finishing school since I was so far behind from not going to school to take care of her and make sure she wasn't sad and lonely while I was at school. I know she would have wanted to see me graduate. I'm so proud of how far I've come. it's been such a struggle to pull through but I can do it. and so can all of you guys.
Man, I kind of feel like a piece of shit reading these comments and listening to songs like this. I (fortunately) have never been through the pain so many have felt (the closest I've been to it is a friend that has cut) and because of that listen to these songs without a second thought, not truly realizing the power the lyrics hold. Even though I can't truly comprehend what it is like for you all, I honestly hope things get better for you. I want you to be able to make it through the hard parts of life and overcome your personal demons. And remember, there is always at least one person out there that cares for you and your well being. You are not alone on this earth, no matter how much it may feel that way. And as a side note to anyone who knows someone dealing with these hardships, let them know you care. Tell them you are there for them, don't just assume they know that. Let them know you are there for them, it could mean a lot more than you may think.
jrbviwiz bro your not a piece of shit cause you haven't been through the stuff some of us have been through. You are going to have your own battles to fight one day maybe they might seem inferior to others or even more extreme but the key is to have the wisdom and strength to make it through them. You seem like a smart dude best advice I got for you is never use drugs and always be yourself and you will be happy
Dude this video is actually pretty intense. The dude with his eyes rolling back in his head. I just realized how deep that is when you see it set to this music. Really pretty genius imagery.
I remember listening to this with tears in my eyes, holding back screams, and feeling the air leaving my lungs... this song helped me get through some serious shit
This hits me hard for a number of reasons. I had a sister named Jenny who died at the age of 17 by way of stupid accident. Shortly after my other sister, who was her twin, got hooked on drugs. It took her years to pull herself out and she almost destroyed herself in the process. All 3 of us were hit pretty hard in the way of mental health. Jenny struggled with depression and anxiety and my other sister got hit hard with both after she died. She is doing much better now but I have struggled with a history of abuse in my life on top of BPD, anxiety and PTSD for years. I'm still going though and my life is slowly getting better the more I take care of myself. Life can be difficult. Take care of yourself and keep your heads up, guys.
This song is very powerful. It speaks to me every time I listen to it, wonderful work. I have multiple friends who suffer from depression and/or substance abuse, and I have problems with anxiety/depression as well. It's good to know there are people out there who are there to help people who struggle with their lives #iknowjenny
This song never gets old to me. I'm a recovering pill and heroin addict and I have to learn to accept that destroying my life is not what my deceased love ones would have wanted. The meaning behind this will always resonate in my heart.
I just recently lost my mother to cancer so this song/video really Hits home with me. it makes me cry everytime I watch it but I can't get enough. fucking love nothing more!! bad ass band.
Ilovedatherinetopieces was my old YT account I just don't remember the password to the account. Wish I did though 😕 but I remember posting this comment all those years ago! I'm still obsessed with this song & video. It just means so much to me! I'm also a recovering addict 3yrs sober almost 4yrs sober from hard drugs & i was 1yr sober from opiates(oxy pills) but i had a little slip for awhile there... I felt like i wouldn't be able to stop using again i felt so hopeless all over again! But i am sober for about a month now. I am trying my best to stay back on the right path my mother wouldn't want me to be on drugs like i was. I was so unhappy & unhealthy! All i cared about was getting high and nothing else. I don't want to live like that again.... So if anyone is in active addiction i will be praying for each one of you!!! Because it is possible to stop using & live a normal happier life i promise you it does get better over time. You are all worth getting better and not dying from drugs. ❤❤❤
In my original comment on my old YT account i didn't mention that i was a recovering addict because i didn't want anyone to judge me in the comment section. But i was still so early in my addiction back then! Now i am not afraid to share my experience & my struggles with others. Because maybe my words will help others that are suffering in active addiction.... No one understands what it's like unless they were once an addict themselves! You can try to explain it to your loved ones or even your significant other/husband but even still they don't truly understand addiction. They see it as "excuses" or just us being selfish and not thinking of them when we use & part of that is true! We don't care how they feel when we are so deep into addiction. Because it takes complete control over ourselves & takes everything good away from us and even then It still is not enough to make us want to stop using unfortunately. I have a 6yr old daughter but she is not with me her fathers family takes care of her because i financially could not support my child. So i gave her over to them & she is very happy and healthy living with them. That is all i ever wanted for her! I couldn't give her that. She deserved more than what i could do for her also i never wanted her to ever see me high or using drugs. I didn't want her to know about it at all bc i grew up with my mother being an addict and she also had cancer along with her addiction. But she was using long before she got cancer. And i did not understand what was going on at the time but i grew up & started realizing what her problem was.... & Seeing her like that made me kinda resent her for her addiction bc i didn't understand it! But i ended up going through everything that she did after she passed away. I could not accept her death i couldn't cope with losing her so i turned to drugs to numb my pain and my grief. Which only masked the loss & pain i never truly dealt with it until i got completely sober!!! I had to feel all of it like i had just lost her a day ago when it had been years ago. It was much harder to accept when i finally let myself feel emotions again. So drugs only made it worse for me because it suppressed my feelings of her death. Anyway I'm sorry my comment is so long! I apologize for that. You don't have to read any of this if you choose not to. That is okay! I just wanted to share my experience with others. Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I was saying to my friend it's tough. Hits you in the guts everytime. Not just the story behind it but the actual song and how fucking well its put together.
Well, I’m gonna share my story. Though I never battled addiction my mom did and unfortunately lost her battle to suicide in 2008, when I was 16. After having my first child I had feelings and memories I pressed back since childhood come overflowing me and wasnt in a good situation and almost took my own life, but promised I would never let my children know the hurt my mom left on me, even though I know she was hurting to. My husband has always been the one to pick me up and so this song just really felt like he wrote it for me. “See your mother here, her last painful year.””she stuck around for you” Hits so hard. Amazing song and have loved reading through the comments and seeing everyone who is still here ❤️ #iknowjenny
Johnny (and fellas).....lost my brother. 2016. Halloween. Same deal, mom going through cancer. 4 year battle. I listen to this every day and move forward. God bless y'all. St. Paul MN. -J

One thing I've noticed on songs like these is the amount of people who are willing to let out there darkest most deepest secrets to random strangers, but in all reality could never say them to the people in their lives, so for those of you who tell them to hold on and not to give up I salute you, we may never know the lives we touch but only that we can. 1 year sober as of August, the first year in almost 5 I've allowed myself to truly feel and this music resonates so well
+Richard McIvor Besides the internet tough guys there are a few good cases of humanity on the internet. It comes from being a faceless stranger to others, or not having to see someone so you open up more. Good luck with the sobriety, know a few people going through it.
+Richard McIvor Because we fear the flames we know more than the fall.
I commend you i to am in recovery this song penetrates the core of my soul
+Richard McIvor I agree with you except I have no problem telling people about my shitty past because I do it for two reasons. One is to help people and show them that life can get better and the second is to shut the fuck up of little bitches that have no idea how hard life can be.
+Dewayne Cumbie life is only as hard as you make it.
This song hits home for me. In 2 days I’ll be clean for 13 years. I have lost both of my parents way too soon but I’m grateful that they got to see me get sober and start a family.
Congratulations, keep doing it well...
@@eldcl1622 I appreciate you and the support. The world needs more people like us
Same. My dad died when I was 18 and my mom when I was 33. 😢
@@hcrawford79 💔
After 20 years I got sober, 16mos sobriety n f-&--ed it up.. still can't find the strength.. but thanks for the words, hopefully it helps before it's too late
I was Jenny. I was the heroin addict that bounced in and out of rehabs, did time in prison, had several suicide attempts, was homeless, and nearly died from the disease. I suffer from Bi-Polar Disorder and went unmedicated for decades. I've been clean since January 19th, 2020 and am now in school for Social Work to become a therapist to help others that suffer from addiction. Anyone reading this, I Was Broken Too but I was able to get back up. Whoever you are, you are wanted, you are loved, and you are needed. Never hesitate to ask for help.
That's my birthday!!! Congratulations!!! ❤️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome job! 💜
Love reading these stories. Keep up the good fight.
Congrats bro. I lost my big bro to heroine, purposely OD. Wish he would have held on 2 more months to learn he was gonna be an uncle. Miss him so much
I’m glad you’re here!!!
As a person who has now been sober for 9 years now, i will tell anyone else struggling that you can do this. Its in you. Its a demon you will fight forever but youre stronger than you know. Hang in there. You got this. I promise.
a little sleep, a little slumber
a little folding of the hands
left you weak, left you hungry
when there's supply you still demand
you're beginning to drag the ones you love down
will this phase ever end?
a thousand arms to hold you
but you won't reach for any hands
i don't feel like i'm getting through to you
let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
see your mother here, her last painful year
i wish you only knew...
she stuck around for you
maybe you should just fall
leave the world and lose it all
and if that's what you need...to finally see
i'll be with you through it all
bring on the pills, roll that dollar bill
medicating will never heal
relapse, rehab, repeat
always thinking about the me, me, me
self-destruct, spiral down
until your want becomes your need
please get up like I know you can
or forever love the fall
i can't stand to see you down
strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
steady....steady...oh god, jenny
i can't bear to hear the sound
of your body hitting the ground
maybe you should just fall
leave the world and lose it all
and if that's what you need
to finally see that she loved you through it all
I'll be with you through it all
thank ya

Thank you so much.
I cried and realized just how powerful this song really is. Jonny, you guys have made a masterpiece.
I agree!
Zach Greer Totally agree.
...DiTto,,,,I also think "God Went North" was another moving composition off of this album. =)
TeaJae Hitchens
ive had the album playing for months and that song gets me everytime. if you wont save her please just take her. are some of the most powerfull lyrics ive ever heard.
Hear it live and there is more emotional depth
[Verse 1]
A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands
Left you weak, left you hungry
When there's supply you still demand
You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands
'Cause
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear
Life is short, my dear
See your mother here
Her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
[Chorus]
Maybe you should just fall
And Leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all
[Verse 2]
Bring on the pills, roll the dollar bill
Medicating will never heal
Relapse, rehab, repeat
Always thinking about the me, me, me
Self-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall
'Cause
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear
Life is short, my dear
See your mother here
Her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
[Chorus]
Maybe you should just fall (Just fall)
And Leave the world and lose it all (Leave the world and lose it all)
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all (I'll be with you through it all)
[Bridge]
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny
(I can't)
Bear to hear the sound
Of your body, body hitting the ground
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound
Of your body, body hitting the ground
Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny
(She stuck around for you)
She stuck around for you (She stuck around for you)
[Chorus]
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
If that's what you need
To finally see, she loved you through it all
(She loved you)
Maybe you should just fall (Leave the world and lose it all)
(All)
If that's what you need
To finally see
She loved you through it all
[Outro]
I'll be with you through it all
I’m 4 years sober off drugs and I stumbled on this song somehow this month.
It is possible. Hang on. You CAN and you WILL get through this.
Great job!! That's a hell of an accomplishment. I've been clean since 2017 myself. Took a lot of ups and downs, relapse after relapse but I finally did it. Admittedly it took some time in jail but I still did it and stayed clean after getting out. I don't even know you but I'm still happy for you. Former addicts need to support each other any way they can. Keep it going!!! 🤘🤘🤘
That's awesome what you accomplished!! Your statement is as powerful as this song. Stay strong, my friend....I will be praying for you!! 🤗💜🤗
This song still makes me cry... my sister was addicted to meth for a few years and lost her kids... she’s now been clean for 3 years and has all of her kids, even a 3rd baby now 🖤 proudest brother ever
Fuck ya bro It's awesome to hear somebody that knows what they have and is damn proud of it. My best friend James lost his his battle with addiction and left this Earth 5 years ago, we grew up and became men together on the rough streets of L.A
My cousin gave up her kids to my aunt to take care of. In the mean time she got knocked up again by a dirt bag and for some reason even though she’s had tons of abortions she decided to have this one and as soon as she was born she gave her to a girl that can barely take care of herself. Now she tells everyone she’s clean but still runs with all the people that are strung out. She also has done nothing to get her daughter back that she gave away but posts pictures of her on FB saying she’s her daughter still when she hasn’t spent 10 hours around the kid for the 6 years she’s been alive. It’s so hard for people to comprehend the struggles of addiction. Hell I’ve been through it and don’t understand it completely. Fortunately I got clean before I ever had a daughter and I’ve stayed that way.
So good brother

@@stevendanielles9882 what do tools have to do with this? 😂
Man, something about that line "maybe you should just fall, if that's what you need to finally see" speaks volumes. It reflects the frustration of the writer with the person he's addressing, saying that it'll take her dying to realize she's killing herself.
Yea I agree
Song is pretty haunting in that regard. Certainly makes one think.
Yeah, if I remember right it's about the singer's sister. Sibling songs seem to be crazy intense. This song is definitely amazing!
Not dying, wants her to fall on her face. Sometimes ppl have to hit complete rock bottom to figure it out.. I needed to lose my life as I knew it to figure my new life out, and I wouldn't trade it for nothing
@@traumatrom837 well, especially people dealing with addiction have to realizing this. BTW. I speak from personal experience.
This is crazy.... today my boyfriend told me to look this song up before driving off to a sleep study (he has sarcadium rhythm disorder), and if I hadn't looked it up on youtube, I would have never caught on to what it's exact meaning was. My boyfriend told me it got him VERY emotional when he heard it. Why? Because I've been dealing with depression, bipolar, anxiety, social anxiety disorder, and substance abuse. I've had three suicides on my mother's side ~ my great grandfather, grandfather, and aunt. Toward the end of the song I got very emotional because it hit me what the song ultimately meant. Plus, my name is Jenny. The reason why I've never taken my life is because I could NEVER do that to my family, ESPECIALLY my mother. She's been through enough and it would be INCREDIBLY selfish of me to put her through it again. I finally went to get help six years ago (after months of wishing something would just end my life - a bus, a plane, a car crash, anything). Since then I've lost my job and pretty much all of my friends, and left college because I couldn't handle it anymore. This song would be powerful to me even if my name wasn't Jenny. With the medications things get easier for a time, but then they get tough again. The struggle is much like a seesaw ~ too many ups and downs to count. I also injured my back a while ago, for which I just went through two surgeries and had my L5~S1 fused. That's where the substance abuse comes in, however I had the surgeries to fix the problem so that it would be much more difficult to get pain medications. No pain, no pills, right? Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with this band, as with the many souls commenting here who are going through similar struggles. Thank you so much, Nothing More! It shows you truly care for your fans and beyond!
Jen S thanks so much for writing this. This is what #iknowJenny is all about
+Jen S join the club , you are not alone, my story mirrors yours except i am male i am 43 married and an addict.Have been for 28 years still not been able to kick the habit,Mental illness has plagued me from substance abuse,dr said it is a direct result from decades of abuse
.Started meth at 14 Brandon in Iowa. I feel for you. I get extremely emotional listening to Jenny some days. Tears roll down the cheeks. sad life it is.
+Jen S thanks you made my day reading this Brandon in Iowa.
+Jen S Hey Jen, there's actually a lot at work on a spiritual level working against you. You were created wonderfully in God's image and he loves you. There are demons that only want to steal, kill and destroy that beautiful image that you are....because they hate God and everything that is God's. You can be free from every horrible emotion you listed. Be done with them forever. Jesus has the authority to send all of that back to hell where it came from.
+Jen S thank god someone else understands
This song is so much to me because I was Jenny before my mom died- she dragged out her pain to try and save my life, I got clean after she passed and this song my husband showed me and it literally saved me from killing myself. Every time I watch the video I remember so much & the part where it says “she stuck around for you” was exactly what everyone told me after my mom did pass.. it was everything I needed to go thru to get and stay clean. Today is my 4 years clean from the needle &
I'm proud of you
Oceans of respect from me to you.
this is such a strong song...i cant help but to always tear up the lyrics are so real to me..i know ill never regret my moms love and caring and it hurts because knowing i've done things that weren't the best im glad my mom stuck around and i was able to recover..
that's a great thing you said. I can relate.
i cry every damn time.....then call my mother
The lyrics are just very powerful. Just an amazing song, it really needs to reach more people's ears.
I know exactly what you mean I couldn't have said it better myself
Alba Garcia she stuck around for you
This kind of music needs to be shown to people who struggle with addiction, depression, and anxiety. This song suppresses my depression cause it makes me feel like I'm not alone in this world.
Couldn't have said it better myself
Honestly, as an addict myself. This just made me feel more like shit :/. Definitely wouldn't help out most of us,if anything it would make us more depressed and want to use more 🤷🏻♀️
right mw, this song was a gem locked away in my mind. im 29. i was discharged this am from the hospital. everything is overwhelming, and i have a lifetime of tragedy and pain, unbearable pain. today my dad calls me, i havent talked to him in years, he thought i was doing good and didnt have time for him, cats n the cradle shit. which couldnt be further from the trruth. hes getting me the help i finally need, just felt like i needed ti vent
Youre right
I’m a substance abuse counselor and when I play this at groups “ it hits home “
Wow, heard this song on the way home from work and looked it up right when I got home. The lyrics really hit home big time, I'm a grateful recovering addict and for me that means I haven't used heroin or any drug in going on 5 months. I am still struggling, have had many relapses but I never give up. I have lost family, friends, you name it to this disease...it all started when I was 15 years old and I'm 28 now. And in the midst of it all I am a father to a beautiful little 5 year old girl, she gives me strength. I thank God every day that I am alive and healthy. To this day there are many people who wont talk to me, including family and the pain sometimes feels unbearable but it was my actions and choices that created my situation. I am so happy I came across you guys, this brought tears to my eyes...amazing!!
Gregory Miller also I was debating on writing this but my grandfather passed of cancer, he was like a father to me. During his last months/days I wasn't there like I should have been because I couldn't accept what was happening and just kept saying "he will get better...he has to" and he never did. He was a strong man, he held on as long as he could...and the weird thing is, I finally brought myself to come see him and we had this long great conversation and for a moment it seemed myself and him forgot about the cancer and all the bad things happening. Two days after that he passed...not a day goes by that I dont think about him. My substance abuse doubled...tripled after losing him, the guilt of not being there as much as I should because I was too busy using and isolating, didn't want to accept reality. To this day I still have those feelings, and I know there is nothing I can do to change it...I think I'll always be haunted by it..
+Gregory Miller . Everyone deals with sickness and loss in different ways. You did what you felt was right for you at the time. You should forgive yourself.
+Gregory Miller Hang in there and stay strong! I know the guilt you feel, but you cannot let it eat you. You were there before he passed, and he knows how much you loved him. I walked that same path for a long time. I was homeless at one point because I had lost all my friends, and my family had to turn away after years of trying to help, but I kept refusing. You just hit that point where you have to make a choice...Live or Die. I chose to die. I tried to OD on purpose, but someone found me and took me to a hospital. I spent 6 days in a coma detoxing. It was hard after that for a long time. It takes a minute to burn the bridge, but years to rebuild. I just passed my 9 yr clean mark. I have my family back and even have a 4 y/o beautiful daughter who is my life! All I can say is that you need to find that 1 person that you can talk to, without judgement! Use that person whenever you feel. And Just take it one day at a time, thats all we can do. Good luck :)
That is so awesome, I'm recovering myself. I'm so very pricy of you!!!!!
Keep it up!!! Im going on 11 years clean.
I dont think ill ever fully get over how my heart aches when he shows what i assume to be the true, raw photos of his sister/“Jenny” in the midst of her addiction. This whole video can easily be dismissed because people dont want to face it, but those flashes of pictures show the hard truth. Its messy, its disgusting, its depressing. Its real. Its sad. I cant thank Jonny enough for showing those pictures, even if they arent of the actual “Jenny”. It gives quick but harsh glimpses into the very harsh and very true reality of addiction. It is NOT something to be glamorized. Its horrific to be the one getting into it but its just as devastating watching your loved ones slip into addiction and worrying they wont be around enough to recover.
"Maybe you should just fall"
Anybody else feel like this single line is one of the best ever written. It hits so hard....just by itself. Maybe its just me.....
I was Jenny.
It's taken many years and a lot of hard work, but I can finally say now that I am in control.
To anyone else struggling... there's always hope. There are people who care. YOU. ARE. LOVED.
Nothing More is absolutely incredible. Most people I know have no idea who they are which is a shame. This guy is a vocalist on another level, almost every song leaves me enthralled.
Saw them live last night, even better live than I had expected
This one breaks me. And no one who isn't an addict can understand every layer of pain that it depicts. We're just moral failures to everyone and they are completely blind to a walking hell on earth right in front of their eyes.
Nothing more just became my new favorite band. This video is huge for anybody who is diagnosed or not yet diagnosed with a mental illness to let them know they are not alone. I'm currently attending school for my Masters of Science in Counseling and the biggest failure I've seen so far for mental health in America is the lack of awareness. We just try to sweep mental health under the rug and shun anybody diagnosed. Thank you for this video and for anybody who is struggling with addiction, thoughts of suicide, or any form of mental illness you don't have to fight it alone.
much love friend. thank you for your support. this song is amazing and its message should be eye opening. mental health disorders are so disregarded, yet are so prevelant in society. those like myself suffering with depression, for example, shouldnt feel alone. this song sends that message. youre not alone. we're never alone. look out for eachother people, were all friends and family on this earth.
thank you! I am currently a college student studying human services. I have clinical depression, it is tough.
Mental illness ain't my problem its trust n misleads by people who claim to be down for u. But they aint. But u keep on caring.
This is one of the most powerful songs of the last 10 years in mainstream radio. It's been awhile since we have had such a distinct sound that is instantly identifiable in Nothing More.
My mom waited for me to get sober before she died. I was only six months clean from alcohol when she died. The first time I heard this I cried my eyes out, it hit home so hard. I've been alcohol free for over three years but just substituted it for pills. I feel like I've completely let her down. I took the pills to keep from drinking when she died. Now I feel I have nothing to live or even try for since she's gone. I praise everyone that has gotten sober and stayed that way. You're way stronger than you know and don't let anyone tell you any different. Because addiction is a bitch and it's a challenge to get through each day and nobody knows how hard it is unless they've experienced it. So keep it up and keep your head up. I'm not where I want to be yet but I'm not stopping until I beat it.
You will get there. So much admiration for your hard work. Keep fighting. You will make it. And I'm sure your mom is proud of you, even now cause she knows you keep fighting and that's the most important ! Be proud of how far you already come
Acknowledgment is the first step. I feel for you knowing the struggle and having been through it, got clean to just relapse after 3 years of being totally sober. You really have to have time to fix yourself and that's what this world doesn't get. It's not a snap of the fingers and it's gone. I pray for you and my heart goes out knowing your struggles. I know your mother is proud of you no matter and only wants to see you love your self again.
Amor Fati.... " A blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is thrown into it"- Marcus Aurelius. You must forgive and Love yourself and everything that has happened to you. You are made of carbon and what happens when you put carbon under extreme heat and pressure?, a Diamond is created! . Use it all the good the bad the pleasure the pain everything and like fuel for the fire you will become a lovely and bright Star. Become a diamond, you lovely woman.
Sounds kinda similar to my ex wife where her dad died like 6 months after getting sober
You do have something to live for! My father died unexpectedly after asphyxiating on my 21st birthday. Yes that was extremely difficult but through all my ups and downs, the things I’m proud of and the things I kick myself for, I try to make things simple by just doing my best to make the right decisions no matter how big or small they are. I do this because I just want him to look down and see me trying! I truly hope you find something each day, large or small, to give you happiness!
This song.. thank you so much nothing more. Every day, a struggle just to keep the head above the waves of depression and anger. Your music.. is a life line. Thank you so much.
I know this wasn't easy to write, performe, record, and share with the world so thank you. Your message will help many people. The lyrics are powerful and very real.
I swear this band needs to be recognized among the elites such as Breaking Benjamin, Skillet, Three Days Grace, Green Day, Linkin Park, Shinedown, etc. There's no reason why they shouldn't be. I have became a huge fan of Nothing More, They got such amazing songs as Jenny, This is the time, Mr. MTV, Here's to Heartache, I'll be OK, If I were, God Went North, Go to War, Do You Really Want It?, Funny Little Creatures, Who were are, etc. There are very few bands which produce quality music. Nothing More Delivers!
Yeah, I don't know why they haven't become huge. They've toured with some of those groups after all (at least Breaking Benjamin if I remember right).
Johnny’s stage energy blew me away! I’m with you guys, they should be so much bigger !
One of these things is not like the others
Right now is the first time I've ever heard of them. Their publicist dropped the ball.
They definitely should be man, they are better than alot of the bands you listed too. It's honestly just unfortunate how it works. But regardless. All we as true fans can do is show our support.
I saw these guys live with breaking Benjamin and shinedown
Best concert ever!!!!!
Same here dude, they were all so amazing
I was there! Sick as hell.
Holy shit! 3 great bands!
went to that concert
+Caden Potter Hey I was there too! I was in the parking lot, in line for 5 out of their 7 songs though :(
This band will always be dear to me
So many of their songs hit me hard in the feelings. I can't explain how the lyrics feel so much at once
I identify with this song so much
NothingMoreVEVO Utterly impressed by not only the video and song in general, but by the strength it must've taken to produce this. I've struggled with depression and self harm for all too much of my life, and it's music like yours that keeps me going. Can't wait to see you all again asap and hopefully get a chance to talk to you again and share my thanks for movements like this. #iknowJenny
para11el thank you for the kind words. hope to meet you again soon.
Nothing More I'm new to your music. First time I ever heard you all was at Louder than Life. You definitely make awesome and thought provoking powerful music. Thanks and keep it up.
Nothing More I got into you guys when I purchased The Few Not Fleeting album, and have been a fan ever since, I have a feeling Jenny just wasn't an influence for just this song.. I have a feeling she was a huge influence during Waiting On Rain as well, including whoever "he" may be.

...that concert RoCKeD \\m//
TeaJae Hitchens
You bet it did. I can't wait for the next one.
Man, it's not easy to make a song that can be so meaningful to someone but also just be an absolute headbanger to someone else. Gotta be one of the best songs ever imo.
I saw a few interviews with Johnny talking about where this song comes from and why he wrote it. what's crazy to me is that I heard the interview before I heard the song. What he said in that interview was nearly the same as the lyrics to the song. The raw amount of emotion and struggle in this song made it hit even harder. Cancer is a terrible thing to watch a person go through. And trying to be there for everyone else can be hard, especially when they wanna shut the reality out. They end up shutting out the only people who are there for them until everything is gone. He's a strong guy to deal with all of that, and this song shows that he has his heart in the right place. One of my favorite songs by far.
But he got no sould how can u have a heart with no soul
It's crazy how powerful this song is. They absolutely made a timeless banger that will be pulling at heartstrings for the rest of it's existence.
Probably one of the best videos along side with Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side Of Heaven.
I just want to say Thank You. This is the first song that really portrays how the addict's loved ones suffer too. I heard it on Octane this morning and you gave the back story and I immediately weld up with tears. It was like you were singing my feelings. My brother is a recovering addict. This helps us heal too. So Thank You for this!
This song is probably one of my favorites by you guys. I have family members with substance abuse problems so it does hit close to home but it definitely helps knowing others encounter this
Thanks Brittany. Keep sharing the stories. #iknowJenny
One of the absolutely most powerful songs out there to date. If you hear this through high quality headphones and FEEL this, it will make anyone with a heart break down.
This song really hits home for me I am bipolar and I struggle with it everyday and when I heard this song and saw the video I cried its so powerful and the meaning behind it made me realize that bands like nothing more do care and they want to help so this touches my heart deeply.thank u so much for making such an amazing video on such a serious issue this song means alot to me and your bands music has been helping me through alot of rough stuff in my life right now and I can't thank you enough.
heatherlynn bless Amazing to know our music is helping you. Much love to you from all of us in Nothing More
This song got me to get off meth! About to hit 4 years clean ❤ God works in many ways!
Stay strong.
i agree 2% of people get away from that particular thing. im a 2%er stay strong it gets better almost 7 years clean here thought it wasnt possible until it was. The thought never goes away but the darkness does..... Eventually. stay strong.
Congratulations to you then. Stay strong and positive. Lots of love
Stay good my friend. Been 16 years and if I can do it anyone can. Be proud.
I've lost more family to heroin, alcohol, and prescription medicine abuse than I want to admit. My family has been wrecked and the havoc it has caused is unparalleled. The schisms these issues have caused have nearly ruined my family at some points but for some reason, we've been able to struggle through it. After losing my cousin (one of my closest relatives) last year, I'm really happy that a band has created something that I can listen to so as to heal in some manner.
Damn, glad we can provide some hope or consolation through our music Anthony. There are too many people who are crippled by these things. Hopefully we can change that. Much love. Thanks for the comment man
And we hope the best for your family. That's a lot to deal with.
Oh, we're definitely on an up slope as of right now. At least, my immediate family is anyways. This song has for sure given me a lot of closure for the mistakes that have been make in the past. Thanks, guys! Also, you friggen killed it at the Seattle show at the Corzon. Definitely gained a new fan from me with your live show!
Today I learned I've known Nothing More for longer than I realized
I've been a fan of these guys since Let's Go To War was playing on the radio, and lately half my searches on TH-cam have been their songs, so it came as a total shock to me when I saw Nothing More scroll across my radio with this song playing and realized I already knew it. For a moment I thought it was a cover because all I could think was that I've not heard this one yet... until I looked it up and realized how old this song is. It was such a treat to rediscover this song after so many years. This band is truly amazing, and apparently I've been a fan longer than even I realized!
This song gave me the strength to keep moving forward. Last year near the end of March I attempted suicide and was admitted to a psychiatric ward. I was there for two and a half weeks but I didn't learn anything or get any help. All the doctors there did was give me medication that made me sleep all day and loose my appetite. I was released in early April and went back to school to finish the year off. That was in 8th grade. I barely passed with D's in every class. Over that summer things got a little bit better but never seemed to be good enough for me. I quit playing softball and shut myself down. My doctors decided that having electronics and social media accounts were causing a lot of stress and emotional damage to me because of people bullying me anonymously through ask.fm and fake instagram accounts. I got all of that taken away by my Mom and started attending therapy monthly. My freshman year went horribly and started horribly. I picked up my old habits of self harm and I became really aggressive towards my family. Two weeks before my freshman year came to an end, one of my 'friends' gave me an iPod so that i could use social media again. That same night my Mom found it and got really angry at me. I instantly was filled with regret. I doubted her intentions and went against her ways that she only enforced for my good. I made a very impulsive decision and I spent a half an hour in my room cutting my arms from my elbows to my wrists and my thighs to my knees. I started feeling really woozy while wiping away endless flows of blood onto tissues. I decided that I would keep cutting until I lost enough blood to end my life. I went downstairs to get into the shower like my Mom asked, figuring i would finish the 'job' there. Before I went into the bathroom my Mom said I was holding my sweater funny and she requested a 'body check'. We went into the bathroom and after much argument I got undressed and showed her what I had already done. My Mom fell to the floor and started screaming. She wouldn't stop crying and she screamed for my Dad to take me to the hospital immediately. I spent 16 hours in the ER and was then admitted to a different psychiatric ward and was there for 10 days. I accepted the help they offered me there and found myself. I finally came to the realization that I deserved better. The day I was released my Mom came to take me home. She had been crying, I could tell. I asked her if she was okay and she told me about a song she had heard on the way to visit me the first night I was in the hospital. She said it was called "Jenny" but she didn't recognize the band. She then said that while she was on her way up to get me that day, she heard the song again. But this time, it was fading in and out with the song "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's, which me and my Mom sing to each other all the time while cleaning the house. She started crying then and seeing her hurt made me hurt because of me made me hurt more than I have in my entire life. I typed in 'Jenny' to the TH-cam search bar two weeks ago and the song came up by 'Nothing More' and I knew it was going to be a song that stuck with me for the rest of my life before I had even heard it. After listening to it on repeat for an hour, I went and told my Mom how much I loved her and was thankful for her. Now I am going on 8 weeks 'clean' and I am turning 15 on September 2nd. I'm being homeschooled next year to avoid bullies and begin DBT group next week. A lot of people have told me I am "too young to understand how life works", which may be true. But without my Mom, I wouldn't be able to be able to hear "Jenny" and share with anyone who reads this that nothing is impossible. There's no reason to doubt yourself in any situation. Things do get better and there isn't a single person in the entire world who doesn't deserve the best for them ad then some. I hope that those who hear "Jenny" know that there's someone out there to help them. Mine was my Mom, and without her, I wouldn't be able to say that #iknowJenny and that I have finally accepted myself and have found my path to the life I want. Thank you Nothing More for helping me realize what was there all along (:
madalyn n thanks so much for sharing your story. much love to you
but your so pretty :).
+BricksterYT Did you even read the whole message? this is really disrespectful. Not the time, or place.
+madi summer Much respect for telling your story. Keep your head high and let the haters take their place behind you. You're stronger than they ever will be.
#iknowjenny
+madi summer I got to cry in the part where your mother listened to this song. don't let anyone tell you how young you are to understand how life works after everyting you've been through.
Let me give you some humble advise. In my experience, practicing sports has helped me a lot, they made me a lot stronger in my body and my spirit. don't do it to compete, do it for yourself, do it freely and don´t let any coach expects from you more than you are willing to give. you don't need that kind of pressure.
individual activities can help you avoid bullies a lot, but they can also isolate you. so you should look for something you like that you can do with others but being aware of how partners treat you. just aware, don't go paranoid like me, lol.
music has saved my life a lot of times too. I can't live without it
I am 2 years sober from alcohol and this song really kept me motivated to keep pushing. I still get goosebumps every time I hear this unbelievably powerful song and I've probably listened to it over 1,000 times. I absolutely love Nothing More and the meaningful music they create. Thank you so much for helping me with my addiction and depression fellas!!!! #IKnowJenny
My mom is suffering from depression, and sometimes it is hard to keep house with her. I sent her this song... its like she is someone completely new and positive after I have shared this with her. Because it is a bit too harsh on the ear for her because she is use to listening to old people music, I sent her the lyrics... she told me she loves this song and thinks about Grandma's last year alive... and that she has now more than ever reason to live and be positive.
When going through struggles, any kind of struggles, I think it's important to know you are not alone. Find yourself a group with people who have the same kind of problems. For me it worked wonders. I joined a talk group and just being there, hearing the others stories and struggles, it was just such a relief to know I was not alone and I gained a lot of strength hearing the others talk and deal with their problems
just have to add. i have struggled with a drug addiction for almost 28yrs and have been clean for over 5yrs. i know what its like to feel nothing. your not alone
Hey brother. 8 years later. How are you holding up? Still doing okay? Hope the struggle isn’t weighing on you. You are not alone either.
He o.d
Absolutely brilliant
Nothing More has another masterpiece
Too kind. But thank you
Nothing More love the lyrics . great song.
p0pp0pp0pp0pp0p Can they keep it up?
Nothing More you guys are amazing. your music and videos are all top notch. you produce a certain type of music that just feels new and refreshing!!
Nothing More Nah, the praise is well deserved, saw you guys on the Juggernaut Tour and your performance was by far one of the best shows I've ever seen. Keep up the good work guys.
This has to be my favorite song ever..... I tear up every time.. The lyrics are so strong and touching every time. Thank you so much for making this song for everyone who suffers from any type of mental illness, or for just making music in general.
I am 15.
My grandfather suffers from addiction. Drug abuse.
He has had two strokes. He only ever contacts us when he needs something. He doesn't know that I've attempted multiple times now, nor that I suffer from mental illness. This song helps me so much. Thank you.
I dont normally send message to bands. But this song goes straight to the heart. It drove me to listen to the rest of your music. It is awesome! Thank you for your work!
5 years later and this still slays-
And even after they blew up big time people still comment nonstop calling them underrated 😂
6 years later now!
Saw them live in Corpus Christi TX and before he played this song he explained how it was about someone very close to him and that if you are depressed or suicidal then reaching out and knowing your not alone is extremely important.
I have learned throughout my time that we shouldn't allow anyone to go through this kind of pain. If you ever feel lost and alone. Know that im praying for your heart and mind and soul and body to recover. Please know there are those who care. Much love. ❤
praying is a bs wat n lack of responsibility
this song is all about my recovery. been off heroine sense July 24 2015! i keep this song on repeat 💯💯💯💯
Keep up the great work and stay strong. I'm praying for you!
+Roman Lopez. thank-you so much
Please shut up
hmu i need a couple of pounds
"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest...." Proverbs 6:10-11
Addiction and mental illness go hand in hand. Just lost my sister a couple days ago to both and this song was what always made me think of her, I never imagined I'd have to bury her. To the ones able to pull yourself out of addiction and depression and all else. I truly salute you it is no easy thing whatsoever keep your head up always. You overcame one of the most difficult challenges anyone could face
Keep it up!!! Im in recovery from drugs sober for past 9 years. But its very difficult with my mental health as doctors arr afraid to prescribe shi+ properly. God bless
Sending love. I do not know either of you but have to relay a message to you.... Stay strong sister and know she's not battling any demons anymore. She is free from all the pain and darkness ever felt on this planet during her stay here. Also, she is with you and has shown you that in only a way you'd know......if that makes sense. Also, I keep seeing a campspot by a river, dry grass, very hot out, some type of stinging yellow jackets, and breakfast burritos...
Have peace, NO OTHER OPTION SIS. because "I can't stop smiling", she says. She has an extremely bright, almost blinding light. Which I've never seen sooooo bright. Tells me she's an Angel, and her halo is HUGE.
My intention is to share the information I get, not to be weird or in anyway hurtful. I don't know why or how I see people that have passed, but my mom said, most will want to know. So do not deny anyone their message. Some might say im cra cra but the closure I give is far more important.
Have a shiny day!!! Wow she's full of energy and a very strong will to get through to you. She just does NOT want you sad at all. It's not good bye, it's see you later.....😁😘😁😁😁
Wow. That's wonderful of you to share that message with the gift you possess. I've wanted for so long to talk to someone like you..! 💕
@@mcweaver912
Would that be possible? 🩵
@mcweaver912 wow this got me teary eyed. I very much needed to see this. For a long time after she passed I'd dream of her and in my dreams I'd always see her smile and I knew that she was free of the worldly burdens. It still hurts knowing she's not here in this world anymore but also it's kind of a relief to know she's safe now and not out in the streets, or cold at night. Thank you for this ❤️
I have 7 days today! And I've listened to this song every day for support. Today I Can say proudly "I AM SOBER"
3 weeks! I’m so fuckin proud of you!
Congratulations! Keep fighting the good fight. You got this!
@@tripleb8929 thank you for real
@@Dan82W I'm still sober and happy never going back man
Good for u keep going!
I have had major depression and panic attacks for my entire life. I tried self-medicating and damn near died. I got clean and sober at just 19. So glad my mom got to see that. She passed away several years after that after battling cancer, the panic attacks got worse and I finally sought help. It was like having the lights turned on after a lifetime of living in darkness. On my mom's following birthday, I successfully quit smoking, her dying wish for me. It hasn't been easy, no happily ever after. Medications stop working, adjustments have to be made. I still am suicidal at times, but I tell myself "no, not today" and I force myself to hang on one more day. Eventually the day comes when I am so grateful that I didn't act on those feelings. The truth is, for anyone, that bad feelings never last, nor do good ones. Some days we have to adjust our sails and battle the waves until we find our ocean of calm. To anyone who is struggling, PLEASE give it one more day. You'll never know how close you were to the miracle if you give up. My prayers are with you, and I love you.
I'm sorry what went through. that's amazing you quite smoking.
+Lee Meggison Thank you for saying this to everyone. I read this and I immediately just poured tears.
I just got goosebumps from this comment. Get better. Good luck.
i know the feeling very well .. still coping with depression everyday ..thanks for posting this comment
thank you for that. stay strong.
Why can't there be more bands like this
There are. It's just that not many make it big.
The Pystykorva not even close.
If you mean by lyrical context then search up A perfect circle The outsider, or Tool.
If by music then i'm sorry i don't feel like i'm getting through to you.
+Madara Uchiha Six Paths you either love a perfect circle or you don't. It's not an acquired taste, if you catch my meaning.
check out highly suspect if you havent yet best rock band in YEARS
The meaning of this song hits me right in the feels and much love to anyone who's suffering ... Depression is hard to deal with and I can definitely empathize with beautiful, yet tortured souls. Feeling everything is both a blessing and a curse
This song made me cry and not because I’m weak but because of what I’ve overcome. As of today I am 1 year and 4 months sober. This song reminds me so much of myself and what I put my family through for the past ten years while I was using heroin and sticking a needle in my arm. I really appreciate music like this. It really helps the healing process, so thank you to the band Nothing More❤ we love you
I've struggled with mental illness, basically, since I was born. I have sensory processing disorder, which makes certain senses unbearable. By the time I was five I was exhibiting symptoms of OCD. By nine, I was already severely depressed and having suicidal thoughts. Over time, we found that I had anxiety and panic attacks, as well. I self-mutilated, ended up in psych wards three times, and I still struggle on a day to day basis to keep fighting. Thankfully, I have a damn good support system so I have a way to fight my illnesses rather than suffer alone (though that's what I try to do anyway, until it becomes too much). I'm more than likely going to live with these illnesses for my entire life, but I will always keep fighting. I refuse to fall. I'm too stubborn for that, and I refuse to let my family bury me.
Edit): Oh, my goodness. You all are awesome. Thank you so much for your support, and some of you, for sharing your own stories. It means the world to hear from you and read your encouraging words and know that no one who struggles is alone. It also tells me that we're breaking down the stigmas attached to mental illness, which means that more people can get the help they need. But there's still a lot of work to be done. Please, lift your voices whenever you can in support of those who suffer from mental illness, break the stigmas, and let people know they aren't alone. You are all beautiful and amazing, and your kind hearts and words can change the world, even if you're only changing the world of a few people at a time. Again, thank you so much.Words cannot express how grateful I am to each and every one of you.
+DarkSpiritMorrigan You deserve a hug. Your comment brought tears to my eyes. *hugs virtually*
+DarkSpiritMorrigan I respect you for that and admire the willpower you have! Maybe, you could possibly give me some advice on my niece if you don't mind. My sister adopted two kids when they were around tenish years old and the girl is 15 now and out of no where started doing extreme things like started sleeping around with 3 or 4 guys that we know of, started cutting herself, even went as far as sniffing dishwashing powder so there's no telling what else she has done! She also started saying that she wants to kill herself. Do you think she could have something like that coming from the view of a person that may have experienced it would have some great advice on the her situation! She also has lesions on the brain and seizures and just thought you may have some helpful advice!
Gray Angel *Virtually hugs back* Thank you. But goodness, I didn't mean to make you cry!
Nevada Campbell I would suggest therapy and visiting a psychiatrist. Bakeracting her in to hospital as a last resort if you feel she's a danger to herself or others might also be a good idea, but be prepared for her to be pissed. Not being a professional, I'd think she has depression. People with depression generally try to find ways to cope, to gain some sort of control, but sometimes what they find is dangerous and leads to addictions, which people can be predisposed to. Depression may very well be at the root of her actions, and depression coupled with teenage hormones is a special hell. Depression coupled with any other physical condition plus being a teenager has to be the ninth circle of hell. Again, I'd suggest taking her to someone who could accurately diagnose and help her. If possible, try to get her to talk to her mother, or you, or any adult that she trusts so she can get some of whatever she's feeling out without feeling like she's being judged for it. Really listen to her. Let her know you're there for her, you love her, and that you're worried. Let her know that whatever she is feeling, she doesn't have to go through it alone. I hope this helps, and I hope she gets better.
DarkSpiritMorrigan Thank you for the information! My sister has been taking her to a psychiatrist but he seems to be doing nothing to help her! I can't help for thinking it has to do with depression like you said because at that age everyone is angry and feels like something is wrong with them etc., Her friends have kind of distanced themselves from her because she had a seizure on the bus and it scared her friends to death!! I'll try just listening more to her because she knows she let my sister down she said!
So close to my heart. I battle with depression and Bipolar. My sister does also but hers is much worse. This video and the lyrics pretty much sums up my sister. I can't tell you enough how much this hits home for me. Thank you for such a powerful message and video.
By reading the countless comments on here, your website and on Facebook, I know that this video hits so close to home for so many people. Being so that my name is Jenny and this story is unbelievably similar to mine well...its effect on me in profound. When I heard this song for the first time I was just in my early days of recovery. I have been struggling with addiction and alcoholism from the very first time I drank and did drugs at the age of 13. I have been in a battle with my demons ever since until recently. I put my family and friends through pain and heartache. They watched me self destruct in front of their eyes there was nothing they could do. I had to help myself. When I first got sober (the first time) 6 years ago I was diagnosed with bi-polar II disorder. This explained why self medicating was the only way at the time I knew how to handle feeling so awful. Not knowing of course that it just exasperated my mental disorder. I was sober for over 2 years and my dad passed away from cancer and I turned to drugs and alcohol to try and deal with the pain and loss. It has taken me 4 years to get to where I am today. I am sober and happy and this song is a reminder of how bad it can get. Not just for me but for everyones lives I am involved with. Thank you so much for sharing your personal story with millions of people. You have such powerful messages in your songs that I am forever a fan and forever grateful. I felt like "someone" was speaking directly to me when your band was put in my path. Your impact in incredible. Thank you again.
Thanks for sharing your story. Its one of the most important ways we can help each other. #iknowJenny
Jenny Porter Very brave of you to share a story so personal. Keep doing what you're doing! You're awesome!
NEVER, .....EVER,........GIVE UP! #iknowjenny
I know how it feels to be comorbid. I'm two years sober almost three and struggle with depression. It's a trip, I almost removed someone very important to me because of it. The pills and alcohol didn't help anything. You're strong and please share your story with others so that they'll know there is hope. Peace and love. And congratulations. You deserve a good life.
You are not alone in that Jenny
I don't know anyone struggling with addiction but this song hits me like I do. To all the "Jenny's" out there -you don't have to suffer and fight a lone, you probably have someone in your corner that loves you and has fought for you since day one. Don't make them fight a lone either!
They have mastered the ability to have a song with great emotion and a music video that ties alongside it.
I have Major Depression, Anxiety disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder and I know my life is tumbling down the drain. When people try to make me feel better, I feel nothing. I don't have anyone but me to rely on.
I've cried so many times listening to this song...
I know Jenny, and she's me.
things will get better. ive had mental health issued for a long time and ive lived through it and gotten stronger. the weight of it doesnt get lighter, i just get stronger and one day you wil too. stay strong 💙
Hey, get in touch with me if you ever need to land an ear that knows what you're going through.
Depression, anxiety, agoraphobia and more here.
Zev she’s me too...
I also have bpd and depression and axiety issues
feel ya
Did someone tell you that you have border line personality disorder? Sounds like you haven't seen a professional about your problems. As much as you hate to.. surround yourself with your family often or friends. Just dont do it alone. I tried to kill myself when i was 16. I took 100 tylenol PM's and i regret it. Depression is a real thing and its suffocating. Medication didnt help it will make it worse (in my opinion) just try and keep your mind on simple things that wont stress you out. Whenever you feel like people don't like you just realize people are ignorant and they judge you for insecurity reasons. Your loved just know i love you! Im married with kids and i used to be an addict, was raised in foster care and have no other family besides my wife and kids. I love my life because i know who i am im still learning more about who i am and who i want to be. You have to know its a phase your going through and find what you want to do and forget what people think about you
This music video is incredible. The editing is breath-taking.
ChloeOfTheCookies I've dabbled in editing a bit, and yeah, this is fucking impressive
I'm an editor, and I can't even begin to think where I'd start if I was tasked with something this incredible :D
This was my favorite song on the CD before I knew the real meaning of the song. Coincidently my best friend was Bi-polar manic depressant type II with schizophrenia . He was an incredibly talented musician who took his own life and was buried on my birthday. Glad to see you guys using your music to bring attention to a worthy cause.
Thanks for sharing my friend. #iknowJenny
Ive never had a song that hit as close to home as this one. Word for word. Ive battled mental illness and addiction for the better part of my life. And i lost my mother to suicide. This song just randomly came on my playlist. I feel like it was my mom reaching out to me. Thank you❤
Xxx
This song is probably the greatest I've heard this year. The replay button has been hit multiple times. Great job guys!
2021, Still a banger.
Always will be
May 2024 - Continues to be a banger.
Amazing band, amazing song, amazing video. So glad I caught these guys live. Keep it up Nothing More, you rock! \m/
Bipolar disorder really is a shitty thing to deal with. When untreated, the manic instability and the inability to have any sort of balance, it’s either great or it’s awful, is just so stressful and draining. The highs are a relief, while the lows make you want to just end it all so you don’t have to feel that pain anymore. As someone who struggles with this disorder, I am beyond grateful that Nothing More made such an amazing song as a way to speak out about it. #iknowJenny
God.. This song and " a fly on the wall" are what helps me the most through the addiction. Been clean for 6 months now and these songs are the best
I hope you’re still on the straight and narrow, bud. If not, keep trying.
Which fly on the wall? From who? Also, you will get out of addiction. You're strong enough.
@@wikadre8100 the song is fly on the wall from thousand foot krutch.
Its really really really good !! Great lyrics !!
It speaks to me in a way that i cant let the influence get into my head, and to push forward. That we can be better, etc.!!
@@benjaminvanwinden9645 i know this song but I wasn't sure since there are many fly on the walls xd
If you haven't already check out maybe its time its by sixx am with Ivan Moody, Cory Taylor, Joe Elliot from Deff Leppard, Brantley gilbert, all the members of awolnation and tommy vext from bad wolves its purely about addiction but I find it helps me with my depression
I love this song and the band. Their songs have so much meaning. I can't listen to God Went North without crying. I've only seen them perform live twice, but they were amazing both times. I met them this year when I saw them for the second time. It was awesome meeting the band and I can't wait to see them again.
I've been a cutter for 20 years in recovery for 2, a recovering opiate addict for 3 years and I've died on the way to the hospital twice.. life is definitely short and I've only stayed because of my son. I am sober, happier, and healthier now thankfully but it takes only one thing to break it. Hopefully I'm stronger now than I was then. #iknowjenny
This somg reminds me that their are people who love me, i know it, drugs made me feel alone even when im surrounded by my children and people who care, there is help out there im 90 days sober and can feel that love again, keep your chin up!
Im genuinely in love with this song. It's a very powerful music video and the lyrics are top notch. BREAK THE REPLAY BUTTON!!
They are amazing in concert ❤ I feel this on a deep level, I watched my best friend overdose without realizing what happened, luckily I got her to the hospital in time for them to bring her back, she took her last three breaths in the front seat of my Jeep and I thought I lost her for good. It's hard to watch those you love go through life struggling with addiction and when you have anxiety and depression like I do, it's that much harder. Because I always think of the what if. Thank you for being a band. Thank you for having something people can truly relate to. Thank you for everything ❤
I always hear this song on the radio and had no idea what it was about until I watched this video...and so here is my story...at the age of 19 I joined the Marines...at the age of 23 I was honorably discharged...during those 4 and a half years I made close bonds with fellow Marines and service members...when I went to Afghanistan, I saw so much hate and death...I even took human life myself...I will never forget the moment that the wheels of my shredded CH-53 touched the tarmac and seeing fellow Marines...fellow humans...just sitting in their seats nothing but but bloody pulps after small arms fire ripped through the fuselage...somehow I survived...later...after I got out of the military...I couldnt deal with the empty loneliness and survivors guilt and almost put a bullet through my head at age 25...I resorted to meeting women online and having meaningless sex and ended up getting arrested when one of them lied about her age and turned out to be 16...I went to prison for 2 years...when I got out...I found out that not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4...yes FOUR Marines that I had served with had taken their lives...the first one got out and put a shotgun in his mouth...the second one was still on active duty when he put an M240B machine gun under his chin...the third overdosed on heroin...the fourth hung himself...it left me fucking broken inside knowing that here I still was because I didnt have the guts to pull the trigger when I was 25...but someone pointed out to me that I am a survivor that it took more strength to NOT pull the trigger because of the fear of how it would destroy my family and the hope that life would get better and that was all it took...since then, I have took to bodybuilding and offroading and soon to open my own gym and being a more outgoing fun energetic person...to be honest...here I sit now in October of 2019 at the age of 30 and I love my life...if you read this and you want to know more...leave a comment, my notifications are on...if my story can positively impact even one person's life...then I know I have succeeded
SABER88RZ 8 love it man. Keep pushing for your dreams. My dad threatened suicide when I was 6 and I resented him for it for a long time. He was suffering and ended up getting help and he is still here and I am so glad he is every day.
My friend was a marine. I would pick him up and drop him off before/after his deployments. He told me there was no one to talk to if you needed help. So he would call me up and tell me about chemicals and friendly fire. He showed me a video of his platoon having less than 10 secs to get out of a building. Then his military blew him out of it. It was kind of shocking to see that kind of friendly fire. Also that if you wanted help back then you would get discharged medically or whatever. I would like to help more people one day. If i ever get through my degrees etc. Glad you are building yourself up now. Just remember there are fellow soldiers and civilians that could benefit from your knowledge and listening ear. You have a lot to give and get in this life :)
Semper Fi brother I knw the feeling man, I struggle with the guilt of what I did in Afghan myself if u ever need to talk i am here brother. We as Marines are never gonna be out of the fight its who we are now. Semper Fi brother much love
Brother I was in the same place just 10 years earlier. I feel you're pain!! 16 Serria!!
💪♥️
This song reminds me of 2017 when I was so immersed into my addiction that I lied to my mother for months. She kept trying to get through to me and I knew I had a problem but stuck it out continuing it. The lines that say "she stuck around for you" broke me because my mom never quit on me. I got help and rehab since then and I'm glad she's still around to see me clean. I couldn't imagine losing her and being too numb to the world to even fully grasp that.
This song has been incredibly important to me while battling alcohol addiction and mental illness, it is one of the most cathartic things no matter how many times I listen to it. Nothing More is amazing.
Jared Lestik check out “upper drugs” by Truly Suspect. I’m battling some tough times and that song also hits me. That song brought me to this video randomly
Got put on this song/band 5 years ago when I was 14 by some people I will never forget in a time in my life I’ll never forget. The whole time period had such an affect on my life and, this song embodies it perfectly. I feel like ever since then I’ve been changing the way I felt when I fist heard this song. It truly has had such an affect on my life. Great fuel for it and the battles it’s gotten me through and represents in my life.
This song has so much intensity. I love this song and Nothing more is one of my favorite artists!
Lost a nephew to suicide, so painful for the whole family. A big thank you and mad respect for songs like this that bring the issue of addiction and suicide to the for front.
This song inspired me to get clean and fix my life. There is so much about this song that rings true for me. I've lost a lot to addiction. More than I care to talk about. But this song helped me realize that I still have a life to live and people who want to see me do better. I had to first address my mental health, but once I did that I finally had the strength to kick my addiction in the teeth. It's never too late people! I was an addict for over 15 years and basically flushed away my 20's and part of my 30'. But now, even though life isn't always perfect or fun, I have things on the right path and a life that I've built for myself over the past 4 years. Happiness is a state of mind. Not something the universe just grants to you. It's all based on your perspective of the world. Change your perspective and change your life. It's really that simple. Stop bullying yourself and start talking yourself up and telling yourself it's a wonderful day to be alive even if you have your nuts caught in a bear trap! Oh, and get the hell off of social media! That's where all the Karen's congregate and spread their Karen manifestos. You're better than that.
"Medicating will never heal, relapse, rehab, repeat." Damn I felt that in my soul
I'm sure we have all been jenny at some point in our lives, in own own way, drugs, alcohol, depression, anxiety, abandonment, whatever your demon is. The fact that we are here today to listen to this and look back is an accomplishment itself. I personally relate to this because my mother stuck around for me, in her own way, because I'm sure she was Jenny herself at some point. She went through some fucked up things in her teenage period and could have lost herself to depression very easily. Our parents aren't any different from us, they also go through some shit and do bad things/take bad decisions and many of them throw the towel and call it quits. To me, the fact that she didn't give in to suicide or decided to live her life without me and found strength to still be with me to see me grow and become a better person and be a better person herself, makes me see things with a much more understanding heart, appreciate the effort and recognize we all fuck up, but we can never give up.
Lyrics:
A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands
Left you weak, left you hungry
When there's supply you still demand
You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands
‘Cause I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all
Bring on the pills, roll that dollar bill
Medicating will never heal
Relapse, rehab, repeat
Always thinking about the me, me, me
Self-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall
‘Cause I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
Steady, steady, Oh God, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound
Of your body hitting the ground
Oh Jenny Jenny Jenny
Stuck around for you
He stuck around for you
Stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
She loved you through it all
Maybe you should just fall
And if that's what you need
To finally see
She loved you through it all
I'll be with you through it all!
I always think about my mom whenever I hear this song. my mom recently died from cancer in August this year and she had been battling many different types of cancer since 2011 and I was handling it all of the wrong ways and I couldn't even hug my mom because of how much I put her through the past couple of years with me struggling with self harm and depression and wanting to commit suicide and it was so selfish of me putting her through that because of how much she was suffering herself. she's the reason I hadnt killed myself. these past few months have been so hard and ive been trying to not fall back into old habits of mine. I'm finally finishing school since I was so far behind from not going to school to take care of her and make sure she wasn't sad and lonely while I was at school. I know she would have wanted to see me graduate. I'm so proud of how far I've come. it's been such a struggle to pull through but I can do it. and so can all of you guys.
Man, I kind of feel like a piece of shit reading these comments and listening to songs like this. I (fortunately) have never been through the pain so many have felt (the closest I've been to it is a friend that has cut) and because of that listen to these songs without a second thought, not truly realizing the power the lyrics hold.
Even though I can't truly comprehend what it is like for you all, I honestly hope things get better for you. I want you to be able to make it through the hard parts of life and overcome your personal demons. And remember, there is always at least one person out there that cares for you and your well being. You are not alone on this earth, no matter how much it may feel that way.
And as a side note to anyone who knows someone dealing with these hardships, let them know you care. Tell them you are there for them, don't just assume they know that. Let them know you are there for them, it could mean a lot more than you may think.
jrbviwiz bro your not a piece of shit cause you haven't been through the stuff some of us have been through. You are going to have your own battles to fight one day maybe they might seem inferior to others or even more extreme but the key is to have the wisdom and strength to make it through them. You seem like a smart dude best advice I got for you is never use drugs and always be yourself and you will be happy
Extremely in love with this song it hits you with such grace✊
such an amazing band dude
Dude this video is actually pretty intense. The dude with his eyes rolling back in his head. I just realized how deep that is when you see it set to this music. Really pretty genius imagery.
I remember listening to this with tears in my eyes, holding back screams, and feeling the air leaving my lungs... this song helped me get through some serious shit
This hits me hard for a number of reasons. I had a sister named Jenny who died at the age of 17 by way of stupid accident. Shortly after my other sister, who was her twin, got hooked on drugs. It took her years to pull herself out and she almost destroyed herself in the process. All 3 of us were hit pretty hard in the way of mental health. Jenny struggled with depression and anxiety and my other sister got hit hard with both after she died. She is doing much better now but I have struggled with a history of abuse in my life on top of BPD, anxiety and PTSD for years. I'm still going though and my life is slowly getting better the more I take care of myself. Life can be difficult. Take care of yourself and keep your heads up, guys.
Keep on grinding! I wrote a paper about music and mental health, and I used this song and "Stealing Life" by Red Sun Rising.
This song is very powerful. It speaks to me every time I listen to it, wonderful work. I have multiple friends who suffer from depression and/or substance abuse, and I have problems with anxiety/depression as well. It's good to know there are people out there who are there to help people who struggle with their lives #iknowjenny
This song never gets old to me. I'm a recovering pill and heroin addict and I have to learn to accept that destroying my life is not what my deceased love ones would have wanted. The meaning behind this will always resonate in my heart.
I just recently lost my mother to cancer so this song/video really Hits home with me. it makes me cry everytime I watch it but I can't get enough. fucking love nothing more!! bad ass band.
ilovedatherinetopieces. xx listen to God went North by Nothing More. He wrote it because he lost his mom to cancer.

Ilovedatherinetopieces was my old YT account I just don't remember the password to the account. Wish I did though 😕 but I remember posting this comment all those years ago! I'm still obsessed with this song & video. It just means so much to me! I'm also a recovering addict 3yrs sober almost 4yrs sober from hard drugs & i was 1yr sober from opiates(oxy pills) but i had a little slip for awhile there... I felt like i wouldn't be able to stop using again i felt so hopeless all over again! But i am sober for about a month now. I am trying my best to stay back on the right path my mother wouldn't want me to be on drugs like i was. I was so unhappy & unhealthy! All i cared about was getting high and nothing else. I don't want to live like that again.... So if anyone is in active addiction i will be praying for each one of you!!! Because it is possible to stop using & live a normal happier life i promise you it does get better over time. You are all worth getting better and not dying from drugs. ❤❤❤
In my original comment on my old YT account i didn't mention that i was a recovering addict because i didn't want anyone to judge me in the comment section. But i was still so early in my addiction back then! Now i am not afraid to share my experience & my struggles with others. Because maybe my words will help others that are suffering in active addiction.... No one understands what it's like unless they were once an addict themselves! You can try to explain it to your loved ones or even your significant other/husband but even still they don't truly understand addiction. They see it as "excuses" or just us being selfish and not thinking of them when we use & part of that is true! We don't care how they feel when we are so deep into addiction. Because it takes complete control over ourselves & takes everything good away from us and even then It still is not enough to make us want to stop using unfortunately. I have a 6yr old daughter but she is not with me her fathers family takes care of her because i financially could not support my child. So i gave her over to them & she is very happy and healthy living with them. That is all i ever wanted for her! I couldn't give her that. She deserved more than what i could do for her also i never wanted her to ever see me high or using drugs. I didn't want her to know about it at all bc i grew up with my mother being an addict and she also had cancer along with her addiction. But she was using long before she got cancer. And i did not understand what was going on at the time but i grew up & started realizing what her problem was.... & Seeing her like that made me kinda resent her for her addiction bc i didn't understand it! But i ended up going through everything that she did after she passed away. I could not accept her death i couldn't cope with losing her so i turned to drugs to numb my pain and my grief. Which only masked the loss & pain i never truly dealt with it until i got completely sober!!! I had to feel all of it like i had just lost her a day ago when it had been years ago. It was much harder to accept when i finally let myself feel emotions again. So drugs only made it worse for me because it suppressed my feelings of her death. Anyway I'm sorry my comment is so long! I apologize for that. You don't have to read any of this if you choose not to. That is okay! I just wanted to share my experience with others. Thank you!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Epic lyrics, epic story that anyone can relate to. This band kills it with music that hit you right in the guts. Keep it up
Did you know this is a story of what actually happened?? How mom died from cancer and his sister was too busy with drugs too care she was dying
I was saying to my friend it's tough. Hits you in the guts everytime. Not just the story behind it but the actual song and how fucking well its put together.
Best workout music, name of my Playlist lol
Yeah no joke. Fade in fade out made makes me tear up every time. It's beautiful and so sad
Anyone? I highly doubt that!
Well, I’m gonna share my story. Though I never battled addiction my mom did and unfortunately lost her battle to suicide in 2008, when I was 16. After having my first child I had feelings and memories I pressed back since childhood come overflowing me and wasnt in a good situation and almost took my own life, but promised I would never let my children know the hurt my mom left on me, even though I know she was hurting to. My husband has always been the one to pick me up and so this song just really felt like he wrote it for me. “See your mother here, her last painful year.””she stuck around for you” Hits so hard. Amazing song and have loved reading through the comments and seeing everyone who is still here ❤️ #iknowjenny
Johnny (and fellas).....lost my brother. 2016. Halloween. Same deal, mom going through cancer. 4 year battle. I listen to this every day and move forward. God bless y'all.
