When I was 13 my friend introduced me to sleeping with sirens. She never made it to 15 because a drunk driver took her life, and I sang this song sitting by her grave a few months after she died. I'm 23 now listening to this going through a rough time and feeling oddly nostalgic, but connecting to this part of my life gave me some comfort. Thank you, Kellin.
kellin has the most special voice in the world, it's amazing. sometimes it's just so beautiful and calm but when he decides to scream it's very convincing and powerful.
As a 14 year old, I never realized how much euphoria and nostalgia this song would bring me as a now 25 year old. Times flies, you guys. Please learn to enjoy your life more and be happy ❤️
My best friend Austin passed away due to a car crash last night and this was his favorite song ever, especially this cover. Him and his wife would listen to SWS all the time, and Austin was actually the one that got me into their music just months ago… Sleeping With Sirens and their music has helped me so much, they’re one of my favorite bands. Thank you Sleeping With Sirens for keeping Austin happy. And thank you Jesus for letting Austin live the life he had and for not letting him take anything for granted up to his final breath. Rest In Peace, Austin. I love you so freaking much. Thank you for being amazing. I hope Jesus Christ gave you a warm welcome. Edit: Thank you guys for sending in your condolences, prayers, and love - I appreciate it so much. To everyone who’s been commenting sweet things, just know that I read them and hit the like button on all of them! If I could heart them, I totally would. - Yvette -
Is the emo thing a joke I see it a lot im just depressed that's why I came here month my father died we listened to this together in the car all the time it was at his funeral I cried there
His voice works so well for this song! It's perfectly in his range, and you can hear all the articulation. Every chorus's first note gives me goosebumps because Kellin's voice literally melts into the instrumental. Almost like he's singing into an empty hall. It's absolutely beautiful.
Pachonga la caca there’s little to no autotune on his voice, by that I mean there’s probably the slightest bit but you really can’t hear it. What you’re hearing is reverb and that’s what gives it the sound of singing into an empty hall
I remember my 13 year old self crying to this hoping I’d find love. 7 years later I’m still listening to this beautiful song and I’m going to play it at my wedding like my 13 year old self promised
This was my mom's favorite song. I remember listening to this cover with her around the time it came out and she loved it! She passed away last year so when this song came on it brought up some stuff.. life is short, enjoy it. _i just don't wanna miss you tonight_ 💔🕊️

Michael Jose I left her cuz I didn’t think our relationship could work out... honestly looking back, it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever done. Should’ve tried harder, but now here I am trying everything to forget her but I can’t. I wish I could tell her how I feel. Fml.
Just a few Minutes ago I was Chat with my black Jogging Pants, a black thin Pullover, a blond Wig, the Cat ears,with a Paper Stick, the black gloves, with the Cat Noir ring out of Dough, a glittering Flashlight in a dark room with my emotional teenager Voice and my Dance Moves. It was sad and frustrated but it also was nice somehow 🐱💓💔and i still like it because i don't have any girl/boyfriend i just have some in School and in the Project of my School i just have a few Buddies and that was it i think but that's not bad maybe.
Iris lyric And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life When sooner or later it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
I remember the days I had to illegally download this on my android in 8th grade to be able to enjoy it on my walks to school 🥲 I distinctly remember walking to school in the rain one day when I left my umbrella with this song blasting in my beats! The world paused then. Nobody existed but little 13 year old me me and this song and the rain. One of the most grounding moments of my life. Cheers to making it to 23 💗
@@kingofthenorth1230 you might not have. But I did lmao I had a galaxy s3 in 2013. They came out in 2012. iPhone 5 was also released later that year in 2013. I was in 9th grade.
I remember my sophomore year of high school, my English teacher gave us an assignment. She wanted everyone to bring in 2 pieces of art(paintings, poems, songs, etc) that explained what love meant to us. I picked the lyrics to this song. I was just a dumb 15 year old who had never been in love, but this song touched me deeply. 12 years latter, countless heartbreaks, and a broken engagement latter, I still think this song is what love means to me. I am 27 now, engaged again, to the most wonderful, caring, understanding, loving, annoying man I have ever met and I know this version of the song will play at our wedding. I don’t know if anyone is reading this. Someone who doesn’t think they’ll find love. You will. You deserve it. And it will better than you ever thought possible.
@@patrickwebber9654 the fuck it's not. You don't like it then fuck off but don't gotta be an ass. And if you really think it's shit id like to see you do better.
When I was depressed at 13, this song made me feel better. It's such a weird feeling listening to it now that I'm 22 & in a much different place. I didn't think I would make past 18 but here I am, nostalgia is really trippy. I still listen to the OG version too haha
@@kskfernando2945 no, depression can hit ANYONE at ANY TIME, those people who act like they have depression messed with people's brain's lol. there may be just tiny signs of it but depression comes to 8 year olds as well. like if the child has horrible parent's, per se. there's really no reason for someone to believe depression can't kick someone in the face at any age unless it's blatantly obvious they're faking for attention, in which case this person did not seem like they were.
So weird I listened to this when I was 13 and listened to all the emo and rock bands and now I’m 22 almost 23 listening to them again missing those days lol
I don't know how old you are but I've got to say you are beautiful, Love the braces. Just wanted you to know ;) Don't think I can go to jail for a complement though lol Mike
I started listening to SWS in 2011. 13 years ago when things were tough but also easier. Life has been a rough ride. Along the way I saw a lot of other people waiting, fighting for a brighter day. Countless times I’ve listened to this on repeat. The sadness and joy of relating. It’s a different feeling realizing at least someone out there understands you and you truly are not alone. Might not be the person and people you want to but someone does. The original version is good but nothing compares to this version by SWS. I pray others listening have found or made it to their brighter days. Much love.
My plan is to leave comments on every Sleeping With Sirens song in hopes that my friend who moved to Italy will one day come back to these videos and see it. She got me into this band and others. I miss you Amber, if you see this, reply in a comment please. UPDATE!!: Hello,update to all ty for your wonderful comments. I gratefully announce I have found Amber and she's alive and doing well🙏🙏.
Been coming here since my depressed years back when I was 15. Now I’m 22 and I keep coming back in my darkest times... and it always helps me get through ❤️ Sending a hug to whoever is reading this ✨Edit. thnx for all the support, thank God Im the happiest Ive ever been ❤️
This really made me smile, and nearly made me cry, because I do the exact same. The Only Exception by Paramore is one of the songs that does it for me to cheer me up during dark times. I hope you feel well (:
This song still manages to induce the same emotions on me as a now 25 year old as they did when I was 15. The nostalgia I feel when I listen to this song reminds me of a lot of times where I felt hopeless, but now 10 years on those feelings of hopelessness turned into gratitude. Always try and focus on the bright side of life people, otherwise you will live a life in darkness and life is too short for that .. Also thank you Sleeping with Sirens for creating a gem of a song that brought me a lifetime worth of value ❤️
annnd welcome to the "understa-a-a-and" club, where we spend the rest of our lives hearing that melody in the chorus of iris rather than the original one.

This song makes me feel things. I have been listening to this since the year it came out, and it has always been my go-to song to listen to when I need to mellow out and feel comforted. 13 year old me would be so proud for being able to keep up with Kellin's vocals now as my 23 year old self. This song is a hug. Keep going ya'll. 🧡
I know how being infatuated feels, and how having that ripped away can hurt. I know how depression feels. I have been bullied and pushed around. I know how it feels when your parents look at you like a plague, or a crack in a perfect glass castle. I have stepped up to the ledge, looked down, and pondered stepping out and falling away. I know how it feels to talk to an angel, who stopped me from ending my sad life; but, now longs to end hers.... I know how it feels to die; to look up through jaded eyes and feel nothing. And, the person I just went out with, and told my feelings to, has a boyfriend that I never knew about until now. Kellin's voice, the music, and the feelings put into these lyrics, all call me back from that ledge for the second time. And that is how powerful this song feels to me.
Stay strong my friend. Easier said than done but the world is ugly, i get it but trust me, people like you, people who have gone through so much are the people who keep this world moving, who are the reason why the world has a beautiful side. :)
+Mcr wasn't an idea It was a masterpiece Your name and pic are perfect, and yes the world does have a beautiful side...if you are willing to look for it. :3
Kaitlin Burdette haha thank you, your pic is awesome too! And of course, however some people get lost while they're searching so they need a little help to get back onto the road. :)
Kason Seigler I'd like to say sorry but is impossible, I've never heard a voice that gave me all the kinds of cancer ever existed, god cure him, god save us all
My sister showed me this cover growing up, and we've drifted away through the years. I just remembered this video tonight and it's bringing so much back.
+NANI SORE ღ but she said she liked it better - not that it was better. It's like saying I like broccoli better than cauliflower simpliy because it's green, and you saying sorry but green is a disgusting color and cauliflower is better in nutrition. IT'S AN OPINION
my childhood friend passed away almost 3 years this April. she was into ‘sleeping with sirens’- i know she probably listened to this cover. first time listening to this- reminds me of her💕
Me and my group played this at my girlfriend's funeral Saturday. This was her favorite Goo Goo Dolls song, and this is a great cover. I'm a 25 year old adult, and whether it's my buddy Mikey's voice, Kellin Quinn's voice, or the original, it put's tears in my eye's.
+Aaron mcadoo Where making it through bro. The past week has been rough, and I'm trying not to grieve because it's an act of selfishness, and that's how I was raised. She died young with the baby. Never in my life have I lost so much, but she would be proud of the progress I'm making, and I'd like to think she's looking down on me from heaven with a smile on her face holding Brynn in her arms saying, "that's my man working and going to college."
This song sounds so heartfelt...no wonder so many people connect with it. As much as I love the original, this version is just dripping with emotion from the singer's voice.
My 18 year old daughter Isabella loved this song so much and this band. When I would pick her from work she would get me to listen to new songs she loved and I remember this one so much and the night we drove home listening to it over and over. She was killed March 1 2020 in a car accident thru no fault of her own and we played this at her funeral. Now I listen and cry and remember and I will love her even when we are just energy out in the universe. Maybe that's what she wanted me to know ...she is still here in the universe. I will always look for her
i grew up with the original version of this song, one day in 2019 i find this cover. It just meant the world to me to see one of my favorite people covering one of my favorite songs growing up. this cover has a special place in my heart, its simply beautiful. thank you SWS for being a part of my life
I remember having this play on my Ipod 4th gen on the way to school after downloading it with youtube to mp3. It was either on the bus to school, or trudging through the snow at 7am to go see my then girlfriend to hang out for our snow day off. That was when i was 16/17 in high school, I'll be 29 soon. I came back to jam, but instead I got hit with a million memories and realized how fast time flew. I can't believe it's been over 10 years, I wonder where all those guys I hung out with all those years ago are? It feels like yesterday we were sneaking out of school early at the end of the year to go hang out in the woods so our parents didn't know we left early. Before school started at the end of August we would buy a case of iced tea from the store and drink it at the playground around the corner on the last day of summer break, talking about all the things we did all summer. What I wouldnt give to go back for a week and just enjoy it. I wish there was a way to know that you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. I can' believe I'll be 29 this year, this sucks man. I have no idea why I sat here and typed this to a bunch of random internet people, maybe this is what it means when people say music brings people together. Stay humble everyone, maybe I'll revisit this in another 10 years.
I was in a dark place in elementary school. I had this friend who I didnt talk to much but when I did he helped me cheer up. He committed suicide last year right before the anniversary of his brothers death. He was one of my first friends and always holds a place in my heart. Rest well Bryce.
My grandfather died a few years ago from cancer. Before he died, we attended a wedding and I was told to choose a song that I wanted to dance with him to. I chose this song. Not the original, but this one. Coming back to this video/song now and listening to it again, I'm filled with so much love. I truly love this cover so much more than the original song.
Reading these comments makes me feel so less alone, so thank you to you all. I too was a confused, scared, hopeless, depressed 13 year old listening to this song praying to God someone someday might actually love me. Im 24 now. I found the love of my life- and im still here and im happy. Change is inevitable, no matter how low you may ever feel, there is an unbelievable high on the other side.
This man has the voice of an angel, but her turn it into screamo in a split second. He's beautiful and just a gift from God. I never want him to stop doing what he does, but I know one day this will all come to an end. I will always have those CDs and songs on my iTunes to listen to and those beautiful pictures to drool over. I'll never forget the moment I listened to King For A Day. And I'll also never forget the last song you write, whatever it may be. I love you all. Goodbye! :}
Screamo is slang for "metal", at least where I come from. And I have nothing against screamo (metal). I'm just saying its a true talent to be able to change his voice like that.
Kellins voice is beautiful, and I can hit his range, which makes me even happier....... And his voice holds so much emotion, it just makes me cry when I hear it because this was the man who saved my life. this man wrote songs that seemed like they were meant for me, and I can't thank him enough. About a year ago, I was ready to die, I just wanted to leave everyone here and keep to myself, but I couldn't. and so I thought that suicide was the best option. I tried. twice. It didn't work. the second time I had my headphones blaring this. I was at school. A girl came into the bathroom, and I listened to the words to the song I was listening to. Kellins voice was the turning point. had it been anyone else, I would've brushed this sudden feeling off. But it was Kellin. His voice didn't sound like he was just singing the song. it felt like he was singing it to me. in this room. it felt like he was standing in front of me, holding out his hand for me to take. I began to cry, and the girl who came in took me down to the counselor's office. I told the counselor that Kellin saved my life. she thought I was talking about the girl, and corrected me on her name, but I didn't tell her what I meant. this secret bond I felt I had with this man, it was too precious for me to share. I thinkI'm ready to share my story now. Thank you, Kellin Quinn.
I just cried reading your story. This was me in fifth grade. I was bullied (still am in seventh) and i was ready to leave this world. Yet just a week ago (I was still feeling the same) I heard Iris for the first time and it made me feel WHOLE again. I was introduced to Sleeping With Sirens in sixth grade and just fell in love.
Hey. I understand what you're feeling I've tried to end everything multiple times. And music can be very powerful it's probably the only reason I'm still here. If you ever need to talk or rant or have any questions about anything you can message me emilie_raeanne is my Insta. 928-351-1780 is my number. I've been bullied multiple times and abused by my mom and music saved me. So yea...just feel free to text me at any time about anything because you're never alone
I cried listening to this... It's just so beautiful. My life is so shitty and stressful right now, but this helps calm me down at least a bit. I want this song to play at my wedding. If my husband or wife doesn't like it, too bad.
King Corn I mean, I bet it is, but autotune doesn't really have anything to do with someone's vocal range. Kellin still has a really wide vocal range, even when he's singing live.

Sitting here thinking the same thing. I’ve had this stuck in my head for awhile now and finally listening to it is hitting me hard
13 year old would be crying to know that I’m still here 10 years later. The euphoria is immense ❤️
🥲🥲🥲
Same, discovered this at 13 and sobbed all the time to it. Here I am, 24 with my own apartment and job and I still am sobbing to this exact video
I was 6 when I heard the original come out
I was obsessed with this cover and band at 14. I’m 26 now and rediscovering this has brought me so much joy.🖤
Same!!!
Ditto this was my favorite song in high school and I’m 25. It’s still one of my tops!
Definitely
Saaaame!!

Still mad this isnt on Spotify

It's 2022 and I still listen to this song multiple times a week. Kellin's vocals just brings something extra to this wonderful song 🖤
I like it better than the OG 🖤
Couldn’t agree more!
Yes
It’s literally so iconic
and it’s still not on apple music 😩
I used to listen to this song on repeat when I was a teenager, I’ve recently re-discovered it and omg it hurts/heals just the same
im the same, i used to listen to this in school
Same
You aren’t lying
Feeling the same way. Now I’m on to listen to more of Kellin’s songs and feel more nostalgia 😭
Bro same

It's Michael well said :,)
Well I liked his voice, but there’s a lot of autotune on it...
Pachonga la caca there’s little to no autotune on his voice, by that I mean there’s probably the slightest bit but you really can’t hear it. What you’re hearing is reverb and that’s what gives it the sound of singing into an empty hall
Anyone here in 2021? Here's to a better year that's as smooth as his voice.
hey hey, lockdown made me emo again lmao
Let’s hope
I’m here
I'M HERE
I'm listening again
I remember my 13 year old self crying to this hoping I’d find love. 7 years later I’m still listening to this beautiful song and I’m going to play it at my wedding like my 13 year old self promised

This was my mom's favorite song. I remember listening to this cover with her around the time it came out and she loved it! She passed away last year so when this song came on it brought up some stuff.. life is short, enjoy it.

rest in peace to her 💗

I am so sorry for you😢😢
your mom is always with you she loves you❤
This song and his voice just makes me forget my worries

Same. My mum found out I cut and took all my blades but this helps me forget that and just be happy.

Jo boss I agree 100%
Ayato Kirishima Notice Me Senpai Same! And army!!!
This cover is always a stress/anxiety reliever. It’s just immediately calms me down and stops crying or hyperventilating etc
Awww 🥺
Same with november
I love how Sleeping With Sirens can go from totally awesome screamo to beautiful and heartfelt acoustic
Actually, some of his songs DO have screaming in them. So, calm your tits.
***** Post-Hardcore for the win
screamo is not a genre. post-hardcore is what you mean
Solace white im not pertaining you. why are you talking to me? I am not talking to you. fuck off

I found these legends when i was 13 I'm 26 now and still get the same comfort with sleeping with sirens music, music truly is an art form that never dies
that feeling when u heard this song for the first time is irreplaceable
well, forgetting about it then coming back a few years later is even better.
My ex gf showed me this song. Loved it the first time I heard it and I love it still. Reminds me of her though :(
Michael Jose I left her cuz I didn’t think our relationship could work out... honestly looking back, it was the biggest mistake I’ve ever done. Should’ve tried harder, but now here I am trying everything to forget her but I can’t. I wish I could tell her how I feel. Fml.
@@saltnpepp3r27 my ex gf sent me this before she asked me out, same situation here 😅
Listening to this for the first time right now, I have to agree wholeheartedly.
listen i'm not emo anymore... but this shit is still so beautiful
It's not a phase though mom..
Emo music = best music always
I know
It makes me want to put my hair back in my face again
Just a few Minutes ago I was Chat with my black Jogging Pants, a black thin Pullover, a blond Wig, the Cat ears,with a Paper Stick, the black gloves, with the Cat Noir ring out of Dough, a glittering Flashlight in a dark room with my emotional teenager Voice and my Dance Moves. It was sad and frustrated but it also was nice somehow 🐱💓💔and i still like it because i don't have any girl/boyfriend i just have some in School and in the Project of my School i just have a few Buddies and that was it i think but that's not bad maybe.
Iris lyric
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

We didn't have androids back then tho.........
@@kingofthenorth1230 you might not have. But I did lmao I had a galaxy s3 in 2013. They came out in 2012. iPhone 5 was also released later that year in 2013. I was in 9th grade.
I remember my sophomore year of high school, my English teacher gave us an assignment. She wanted everyone to bring in 2 pieces of art(paintings, poems, songs, etc) that explained what love meant to us. I picked the lyrics to this song. I was just a dumb 15 year old who had never been in love, but this song touched me deeply. 12 years latter, countless heartbreaks, and a broken engagement latter, I still think this song is what love means to me. I am 27 now, engaged again, to the most wonderful, caring, understanding, loving, annoying man I have ever met and I know this version of the song will play at our wedding. I don’t know if anyone is reading this. Someone who doesn’t think they’ll find love. You will. You deserve it. And it will better than you ever thought possible.
These screamo singers have the best voice
I agree with you
Bam Whip "screamo" oh my god
Bam Whip fr
Bam Whip he don't sing screamo songs because his album his Madness album is mostly like pop mixed with a lil bit of rock js
Dead
I swear he's an angel. Humans don't usually sound that heavenly.
yesyesyes!
Agreed ! His voice is amazing angelic even
Sadly he blew put his vocals a long time ago ;-; still will forever love sws
He sounds shit live honestly. Take it from someone who has seen them 4 times but lovely online.
@@patrickwebber9654 the fuck it's not. You don't like it then fuck off but don't gotta be an ass. And if you really think it's shit id like to see you do better.
10 years later and still the best cover of my favorite song ever
this, shout 2000 by disturbed, and in the air tonight by In this moment are my faves. Im a slave 4 u by jazmin bean is also good
When I was depressed at 13, this song made me feel better. It's such a weird feeling listening to it now that I'm 22 & in a much different place. I didn't think I would make past 18 but here I am, nostalgia is really trippy.
I still listen to the OG version too haha
isn't it!
I’m glad you made it everyone deserves a good place to live .... except lol
😂😂😂😂😂
@@kskfernando2945 no, depression can hit ANYONE at ANY TIME, those people who act like they have depression messed with people's brain's lol. there may be just tiny signs of it but depression comes to 8 year olds as well. like if the child has horrible parent's, per se. there's really no reason for someone to believe depression can't kick someone in the face at any age unless it's blatantly obvious they're faking for attention, in which case this person did not seem like they were.
So weird I listened to this when I was 13 and listened to all the emo and rock bands and now I’m 22 almost 23 listening to them again missing those days lol
Kellin is an angel OMG bye. I can't. So perfect.
hes more than an angel he is Heaven
you can
I don't know how old you are but I've got to say you are beautiful, Love the braces. Just wanted you to know ;) Don't think I can go to jail for a complement though lol

On a scale from 1 to even you can't
CodeNameCow Omg I literally like literally just cant! If there was even a way, I can't even!
I started listening to SWS in 2011. 13 years ago when things were tough but also easier. Life has been a rough ride. Along the way I saw a lot of other people waiting, fighting for a brighter day. Countless times I’ve listened to this on repeat. The sadness and joy of relating. It’s a different feeling realizing at least someone out there understands you and you truly are not alone. Might not be the person and people you want to but someone does. The original version is good but nothing compares to this version by SWS. I pray others listening have found or made it to their brighter days. Much love.
Couldn’t have said it better, much love
Listening to this nearly 6 months after my baby brother committed. Still struggling daily. Just have to keep going….
My plan is to leave comments on every Sleeping With Sirens song in hopes that my friend who moved to Italy will one day come back to these videos and see it. She got me into this band and others. I miss you Amber, if you see this, reply in a comment please.
UPDATE!!: Hello,update to all ty for your wonderful comments. I gratefully announce I have found Amber and she's alive and doing well🙏🙏.
oh my god imagine if someone pretended to be amber that would be so cruel but funny 😂

Been coming here since my depressed years back when I was 15. Now I’m 22 and I keep coming back in my darkest times... and it always helps me get through ❤️ Sending a hug to whoever is reading this ✨Edit. thnx for all the support, thank God Im the happiest Ive ever been ❤️
Just be strong
Omg thx I'm 22 as well 🤘 keefighting the good fight.
This really made me smile, and nearly made me cry, because I do the exact same. The Only Exception by Paramore is one of the songs that does it for me to cheer me up during dark times. I hope you feel well (:
When I discovered this song I was 15 too. Crazy how much I've changed since then.
@@jonathansand5117 Same!!
My dad passed away the day before fathers day, I'm singing this song at his funeral friday. Rest in peace, Dad. I miss you. :(
I hope you're doing okay ❤ I know the feeling ):
avnleigh rip
I hope you are doing fine. Be strong pretty ♡ i love you
Dang,I send my regards
Rest in peace
This song still manages to induce the same emotions on me as a now 25 year old as they did when I was 15. The nostalgia I feel when I listen to this song reminds me of a lot of times where I felt hopeless, but now 10 years on those feelings of hopelessness turned into gratitude. Always try and focus on the bright side of life people, otherwise you will live a life in darkness and life is too short for that ..
Also thank you Sleeping with Sirens for creating a gem of a song that brought me a lifetime worth of value ❤️
I'm coming to this video because this used to be my favorite song years ago. i forgot how beautiful this was.

| Lyrics |
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later, it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know, you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

MUCHAS GRACIAS ❤
This song makes me feel things. I have been listening to this since the year it came out, and it has always been my go-to song to listen to when I need to mellow out and feel comforted. 13 year old me would be so proud for being able to keep up with Kellin's vocals now as my 23 year old self. This song is a hug. Keep going ya'll. 🧡
I’m 23 this year too, crazy how much time has passed since we watched this as kids
Xiao…🖤
I know how being infatuated feels, and how having that ripped away can hurt.
I know how depression feels.
I have been bullied and pushed around.
I know how it feels when your parents look at you like a plague, or a crack in a perfect glass castle.
I have stepped up to the ledge, looked down, and pondered stepping out and falling away.
I know how it feels to talk to an angel, who stopped me from ending my sad life; but, now longs to end hers....
I know how it feels to die; to look up through jaded eyes and feel nothing.
And, the person I just went out with, and told my feelings to, has a boyfriend that I never knew about until now.
Kellin's voice, the music, and the feelings put into these lyrics, all call me back from that ledge for the second time.
And that is how powerful this song feels to me.
Stay strong my friend. Easier said than done but the world is ugly, i get it but trust me, people like you, people who have gone through so much are the people who keep this world moving, who are the reason why the world has a beautiful side. :)
Mcr wasn't an idea It was a masterpiece Thanks, man. It's been tough, but I'm keeping on. Your insight is most helpful :)
+Mcr wasn't an idea It was a masterpiece Your name and pic are perfect, and yes the world does have a beautiful side...if you are willing to look for it. :3
Kaitlin Burdette haha thank you, your pic is awesome too! And of course, however some people get lost while they're searching so they need a little help to get back onto the road. :)

This song hurts more now that I'm older and with experience
Right? Like it hurt in middle school but I’m Literally 19 now and listening to it is PAIN
Yeahhhh..middle school me had no idea.
OMFG YES
The tears are real this time
Yep
I keep coming back to this. So good. Kellin's vocals on this song along, but just the guitar strumming away in the back adds to it.
it’s been like 8 years how did i get back here
same
It's 2020. Anything's possible at this point
All Emos have a birthright to listen to Kellin Quinn at any time. Like Israel and the Jews
It literally pop in my head for a second and now it’s on repeat
Still perfect thats why we are here
I keep coming back to this cover, this is marvelous!

I hope you and your sister got back
I cry with the voice of Kellin... Is so perfect
I personally like this version better simply because I like the way kellins voice sounds
Yeah!me too
***** there's a certain concept you need to learn, commonly referred to as an opinion
+NANI SORE ღ but she said she liked it better - not that it was better. It's like saying I like broccoli better than cauliflower simpliy because it's green, and you saying sorry but green is a disgusting color and cauliflower is better in nutrition. IT'S AN OPINION
+DropDead Darling I prefer broccoli, but I still don't like the color green.
Amy H. Lol
He's like a freaking angel! No one would ever guess he did screamo! Let alone the fact that he is the lead singer of SWS!!
Gorden's gang screamo? He is a metal core band
Will Killsu yup 😂😋
Wouldn't even call them metalcore lmao
Savahna's Affliction true but screamo lmao what are we in middle school lol
post hardcore, not metalcore
This is the only way to really enjoy this song. 10 years later still coming back to hear the vocals and it feels like the first time everytime. ❤
I NEED THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY PLEASEEEEEEEEE
i must find someone upload this on soundcloud smh
PLZZZ
And deezer!!
PLIIIIIS
@@macarivas9547 IT IS
his vocal range is outstanding! why am I just discovering this band now!?!?!
welcome, you may never leave now.
+lazaro perez you can't leave the Phandom either......
get used to it, because you're never leaving this fandom
+Christelle Of Course SIKEEE. 90% of people leave this phase. They usually still like the music but aren't like full emo lmao

throwing up screaming sobbing begging crying on the floor clutching my chest can't breathe
my childhood friend passed away almost 3 years this April. she was into ‘sleeping with sirens’- i know she probably listened to this cover. first time listening to this- reminds me of her💕
Me and my group played this at my girlfriend's funeral Saturday. This was her favorite Goo Goo Dolls song, and this is a great cover. I'm a 25 year old adult, and whether it's my buddy Mikey's voice, Kellin Quinn's voice, or the original, it put's tears in my eye's.
+J.R. Stewart sorry to hear about your girlfriend, hope your doing alright
+Aaron mcadoo Where making it through bro. The past week has been rough, and I'm trying not to grieve because it's an act of selfishness, and that's how I was raised. She died young with the baby. Never in my life have I lost so much, but she would be proud of the progress I'm making, and I'd like to think she's looking down on me from heaven with a smile on her face holding Brynn in her arms saying, "that's my man working and going to college."
+J.R. Stewart that's so sad man R.I.P, and she is deffenetly smiling down on you right now.
Just remember that it's ok to grieve once in awhile💕
My condolences❤️
This song sounds so heartfelt...no wonder so many people connect with it. As much as I love the original, this version is just dripping with emotion from the singer's voice.
Jarod Jenkins truee
My 18 year old daughter Isabella loved this song so much and this band. When I would pick her from work she would get me to listen to new songs she loved and I remember this one so much and the night we drove home listening to it over and over. She was killed March 1 2020 in a car accident thru no fault of her own and we played this at her funeral. Now I listen and cry and remember and I will love her even when we are just energy out in the universe. Maybe that's what she wanted me to know ...she is still here in the universe. I will always look for her
thinking of you and sending you love, I’m so sorry for your loss❤️
And even after 5 years, I still come back to this
Now is 2019 still listening? 💓
Edit: March 2O24? 🎼🎶
Mrs. Right heyyy🔥🔥🔥
always 💕
Mrs. Right meeeeee forever and always
Woooooo
Yeah!!!
I swear I fall in love more and more each time I hear this song and Kellin's voice
Agreed
@@kristenfaith3862def agreed 😅
i grew up with the original version of this song, one day in 2019 i find this cover. It just meant the world to me to see one of my favorite people covering one of my favorite songs growing up. this cover has a special place in my heart, its simply beautiful. thank you SWS for being a part of my life
This is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard in my entire life
Your freaking pfp I can't, I love it 😂
it feels really emo up in here
I've been listening to this cover ever since it came out and it still brings tears to my eyes because of its beauty :)
Exactly!

i hear that its emotional
Ugh ditto 💖

I remember having this play on my Ipod 4th gen on the way to school after downloading it with youtube to mp3. It was either on the bus to school, or trudging through the snow at 7am to go see my then girlfriend to hang out for our snow day off. That was when i was 16/17 in high school, I'll be 29 soon. I came back to jam, but instead I got hit with a million memories and realized how fast time flew. I can't believe it's been over 10 years, I wonder where all those guys I hung out with all those years ago are? It feels like yesterday we were sneaking out of school early at the end of the year to go hang out in the woods so our parents didn't know we left early. Before school started at the end of August we would buy a case of iced tea from the store and drink it at the playground around the corner on the last day of summer break, talking about all the things we did all summer. What I wouldnt give to go back for a week and just enjoy it. I wish there was a way to know that you're in the good old days before you've actually left them. I can' believe I'll be 29 this year, this sucks man. I have no idea why I sat here and typed this to a bunch of random internet people, maybe this is what it means when people say music brings people together. Stay humble everyone, maybe I'll revisit this in another 10 years.
I was in a dark place in elementary school. I had this friend who I didnt talk to much but when I did he helped me cheer up. He committed suicide last year right before the anniversary of his brothers death. He was one of my first friends and always holds a place in my heart. Rest well Bryce.
:(
I hope you're okay now :)
@@luviathan9706 I'm doing better I found someone who made me happy and they have been there for me ever since
So very sad but at least he’s not in pain anymore may bryce rest in peace 🤍🕊
Elementary school
Dark place
Pick one
My grandfather died a few years ago from cancer. Before he died, we attended a wedding and I was told to choose a song that I wanted to dance with him to. I chose this song. Not the original, but this one. Coming back to this video/song now and listening to it again, I'm filled with so much love. I truly love this cover so much more than the original song.
I'm sorry ❤❤
i love his voice the way he just pours his heart out in the song
lol....super descriptive lol
right hahaha
lol bryan said hi
hiiii
no -_-
It’s 2024 and this version still gives me goosebumps.
Kellin's voice works so well with this song. And for some reason when he sings it seems more powerful.
It's more powerful watching him sing it.
Reading these comments makes me feel so less alone, so thank you to you all. I too was a confused, scared, hopeless, depressed 13 year old listening to this song praying to God someone someday might actually love me. Im 24 now. I found the love of my life- and im still here and im happy. Change is inevitable, no matter how low you may ever feel, there is an unbelievable high on the other side.
Aww God bless you 💛🤗
This 🥺❤️
I love the faces he makes while singing.
we all do. 😍😍

present here!
Helloo
People still listen to songs from the 50's and earlier, what makes you think you are special because you're listening to a song from 8 years ago?
This man has the voice of an angel, but her turn it into screamo in a split second. He's beautiful and just a gift from God. I never want him to stop doing what he does, but I know one day this will all come to an end. I will always have those CDs and songs on my iTunes to listen to and those beautiful pictures to drool over. I'll never forget the moment I listened to King For A Day. And I'll also never forget the last song you write, whatever it may be. I love you all. Goodbye! :}
Screamo is slang for "metal", at least where I come from. And I have nothing against screamo (metal). I'm just saying its a true talent to be able to change his voice like that.
it isnt exactly metal its called post-hardcore i thought that at first too! i agree he has a beautiful voice :)
I second that, 100%
Matty Mullins does a good job of transitioning as well.
I want this played at my wedding 😍😍😍
Karina Wadwell i want a thousand years to play at my wedding
I like your profile picture😁😍
so do i ☺
Karina Wadwell. That is an amazing idea, and also nice profile picture.
7 years later and this song is still hitting differently. my 13 year old self would be proud of me today for never forgetting this
I can't get over Kellin's voice. I absolutely love it and this song suits it so much. You're so Amazing! 😍 💕

how did kellin not cry from singing this
Cloud155, he at looks like he's going to.
He's immune to his angelic voice
Because he didn't
Cloud155 because it's not as good as the original
boston bruins black and gold 4ever Nahh, they're both just as good
The great nostalgia I feel when I come back to listen to this is amazing. It really brings me back to a time in my life I nearly forgotten
How could anyone hate such a sweet sounding voice? Yeah its high pitched but thats just the way he sounds and I think its beautiful:)
I love it when a guy knows how to use falsetto and make it sound perfect......some aren't good at all but damn. he really kills it.
i agree
I mean his normal chest voice is nearly as high as some people’s falsetto
Alyssa Dibiase his singing voice is to high pitch for this song he ruined it
Alyssa Dibiase his singing voice is higher then most female covers of this song I think Kellien was born female then became transgender to be a guy
Neon Wicked stop hating, you couldn't even sing this good
A month away from 2018 and I'm still listening to this cover. Thank you so much for posting this ♥️
4 months into 2018 and I’m still listening, I feel u fam
Kellin Quinn has the voice of an angel ❤️
One of my favorite covers. It's so beautiful ❤️
Kellins voice is so perfect omg ♥
ikr its like an angel
It's amazing how he can sing acoustically in some songs and screams in others. Talented dude \m/
actually it's easy as fuck when u know how to sing :P ... he has an awesome singing talent but for his screaming vocals not impressed
Kellins voice is beautiful, and I can hit his range, which makes me even happier....... And his voice holds so much emotion, it just makes me cry when I hear it because this was the man who saved my life. this man wrote songs that seemed like they were meant for me, and I can't thank him enough. About a year ago, I was ready to die, I just wanted to leave everyone here and keep to myself, but I couldn't. and so I thought that suicide was the best option. I tried. twice. It didn't work. the second time I had my headphones blaring this. I was at school. A girl came into the bathroom, and I listened to the words to the song I was listening to. Kellins voice was the turning point. had it been anyone else, I would've brushed this sudden feeling off. But it was Kellin. His voice didn't sound like he was just singing the song. it felt like he was singing it to me. in this room. it felt like he was standing in front of me, holding out his hand for me to take. I began to cry, and the girl who came in took me down to the counselor's office. I told the counselor that Kellin saved my life. she thought I was talking about the girl, and corrected me on her name, but I didn't tell her what I meant. this secret bond I felt I had with this man, it was too precious for me to share. I thinkI'm ready to share my story now. Thank you, Kellin Quinn.
Dude this is so beautiful I’m ugly crying rn, music can be so powerful
I know, we all know Kellin is amazing. 😃
Reading your story while listening to this, filled me with emotion beyond words. Thank-you for sharing stay positive!
I just cried reading your story. This was me in fifth grade. I was bullied (still am in seventh) and i was ready to leave this world. Yet just a week ago (I was still feeling the same) I heard Iris for the first time and it made me feel WHOLE again. I was introduced to Sleeping With Sirens in sixth grade and just fell in love.
Hey. I understand what you're feeling I've tried to end everything multiple times. And music can be very powerful it's probably the only reason I'm still here. If you ever need to talk or rant or have any questions about anything you can message me emilie_raeanne is my Insta. 928-351-1780 is my number. I've been bullied multiple times and abused by my mom and music saved me. So yea...just feel free to text me at any time about anything because you're never alone
All I can say is that after 11 years the feeling that this cover gives me is the same the best feeling I ever felt
I was going to dance to this song at my wedding. My boyfriend just died and this will forever be our song. This exact cover.
i hope you're alright
@@juliac6239 so sorry to hear that.hope you are doing ok💓

I’m so so so sorry for your loss
this is sad 😥
well, my emo remains in me. why.
I feeeeeeeel....
idk what username to use embrace it bud
18 and still there
I'm pretty sure it remains in all of us
The emo in us never goes away.
I cried listening to this... It's just so beautiful. My life is so shitty and stressful right now, but this helps calm me down at least a bit. I want this song to play at my wedding. If my husband or wife doesn't like it, too bad.
Jules Has Spoken This was mine and my husbands song. The original, not this cover.
Jules Has Spoken same i want this at my funeral
Jules Has Spoken I agree and same for everything you said
this song suits in every drama in your life, when you're sad or lonely or tired, or even missing someone you know you'll never have again
revisiting those emo days
Same OMG 😩 these always mess me up so bad and I fall in and out over and over
me af
me right now
this isn't emo
brings back so many memories
lol kellin's voice is higher than my self-esteem
Everything is higher than my self esteem
same
Olivia Sinkler not saying much
King Corn I mean, I bet it is, but autotune doesn't really have anything to do with someone's vocal range. Kellin still has a really wide vocal range, even when he's singing live.
ty
Why do so many people hate his voice? I love his voice
I totally agree with you! at least he sings about meaningful stuffs. unlike a lot of the crap out there :/
I know right!
Faith Lynn plus he's smexy and emo-ish, so yeah xD
