I’m an old man with successful children and I have a schizoaffective disorder. My daughter paused her life and lives with me on the farm where she shares my good and bad days. I know it’s not easy for her to watch and pick up the pieces when I’m broken. Your song touched my heart and my love for her.
No one deserves to pass in such ways. Just plane evil to see, experience, or live around it. Powerful blessed souls wilteled down to a shell of what once was. Misery is not wanted, let all go in peace.
I did the same for my dad with Alzheimers. Share your comment with her, it will mean the world. He was unable to, but past emails remind I am doing his wishes.
Doug, my heart is with you. My father was schizophrenic, he passed decades back at I’m 63 now. I have manic depression which in itself is trying - I was told by a psychiatrist that it is the extremely tender souls that have these disorders but that we are also on a different plane of existence. Not sure I’m getting my point across, but never be ashamed or sorry for who you are. Your life has been a gift to those that love you.
No matter the time, no matter the culture and fashion dominance, meaningful songs will always resurface every once in a while. So don't forget how to prickle your ears up to music.
As a 62-year-old I'm often telling my peers that music is as great today as it was in the '80s & '90s, you just have to look a bit harder for it - I rest my case! An amazingly talented band that I'm so pleased to have found.
The distinction I think is that pop music was a lot better back then, now most pop music is (I'll restrain myself here) quite bad. I agree though, I just avoid the radio and pop music but there's so much good stuff out there.
You need to look. That's the fact. The easy stuff has gone hopeless. But the new thing is being able to find the really good stuff. Let the top 40 be the really lowest end. Let people find this, come on in.
My grandfather fell "in love" with me every time I would visit him. As much as it saddened me to see him fade away it brought me a bit of peace knowing that he felt genuine happiness in his last days. It's not something anyone can understand unless they've experienced but he had a school boy crush on me...his granddaughter of 30 years. He asked me every time he "met" me if I was married. He was a gentleman til the end and left this earth with the innocence of a child. Love you Papa
Hearing this song and reading your words brought me to tears. There is a human inside me. Thank you for the reminder. Bless you for the rest of your days.
I helped my mom take care of my grandmother who had Alzheimer's so my mom could work and still have Ganny at her home. You reminded me of every once in awhile she would look at my mom and tell her I was her boyfriend. Lol.
I'm a nurse and I've always hated how easy it is for someone with a broken arm to go get the care they need, but when it comes to a "broken" brain, people shy away from seeking the care they need, because of the stigma attached to mental health needs. But it's NOTHING to be ashamed of; we need to support one another, and encourage each other to seek treatment, no matter what it is that needs "fixing". Thanks for the song, it's absolutely wonderful! Take care everyone! ✌️💜😷
How I *wish* my mental health issues could be helped not unlike setting a fractured bone. I entirely understand what you’re saying though trust me, sadly the stigma keeps endless souls from receiving care - can’t imagine how many suicides could be prevented. I’m at the end of my rope, not sure how much longer I can do this each day; I have had treatment-resistant depression, debilitating anxiety, pure ocd & severe adhd since my late teens. Have tried over 80 meds, diff types of therapy, barely any help. I just wish I fell into the population (over 90% of those treated) who experience some level of relief... Since the pandemic I’ve been full of suicidal ideation nearly every day & waking minute. I’m used to this but usually it doesn’t last for months, the heightened instability that is :/ Sorry for a long reply, couldn’t help myself. Actually a good thing as I’ve been in bed for days, at least I actually feel ‘ok’ enough to go on YT! -Kind regards & thank you for your work, wherever you are...it’s especially heroic & selfless in this world
@@TzadikTheManic I'm the queen of long replies, so don't you dare apologize! 😉 I'm sorry you're having such a hard time; dealing with the feelings you've had since your teen years, is hard enough, and the last thing you needed was the COVID-19 nightmare. I've heard so many people saying the same thing, and it breaks my heart! I wish I had a magic pill that would take it all away, leaving you carefree and happy, unfortunately I haven't seen that yet. I wish I could say the perfect thing, that would make your pain go away, but I don't have that either. I'm so sorry, my friend! When I've been in that place (I call it my cave) I kinda want to punch everyone in the face, that say things like, "Keep your chin up, tomorrow's another day", and, "I've been there too, but things will get better!" and, "Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.", and "Why don't you try therapy? That worked for my cousin.". 🙄 I'm like, "yeah, thanks. So helpful.😒". I know they're just trying to help, but it never actually helps. Here's my favorite one..."What do you have to be so sad about? You're young, you have a job, there's food on the table, and people love you! Why don't you just get up, take a shower, and go for a walk to clear your head? That always help me."... I'm sure you've heard your fair share of those things too, and I bet they were just as helpful to you as they were to me...0% helpful. All I can say is that I understand, and I wish I could help. If only it were a broken arm, I could. 🤷🏼♀️ I'm sorry, and I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences with me. Anytime you want to vent to a stranger, I'll be right here ready to listen. ✌️💜
@Suzy Q Thank you so much for your warm reply. Yes indeed, I have had *all* of the above and more said to me...people mean well but it’s so frustrating & only makes you feel more detached, alone......in a cave. There’s so much I feel like saying (it’s almost midnight & unfortunately my anxiety/agitation is always worse at night, no idea why, it’s like being possessed in a sense - obviously I don’t mean that literally but it’s hell as all I want is to have a moment of peace, my brain won’t allow it, I feel “out of control” in that way, it’s like my mind/body is pure adrenaline for no reason, & end up staying awake til the sun rises 😞) but I won’t because this reply will resemble a novel 😉. I’d like to see a neurologist actually but due to covid19 I haven’t even been in a supermarket or *anywhere* since March. I just can’t do it. Ok going to force myself to stop here, don’t want to be a burden! -Thanks again for your genuine compassion, I can really sense it & that means a lot to me, over the ‘net & even though we don’t know each other - thank you!
@@IAmSuzyQ The Stigma is real. And in many cases justified. Anyone I knew who suffered from mental issues who tried to "bring it up" ended up 3 places. They were either forcibly commited to an institution. Or they were given enough medication to tranquilize a god and spent the rest of their lives so doped up they could barely function on a human level until they eventually ODd or their brains melted. You know medical lobotomies are still performed in some places? What a horrible way to spend the rest of your life. A medically induced vegetable. The ones lucky enough to escape any of those fate went utterly broke trying to find treatment. Its easy to say people should just "seek help" for a "broken brain" but the implications of making it known that your brain is "damaged" doesn't help. It makes some people afraid of you, and makes others see you as a target, and either way you get fucked. Its a glorious double standard.
@@TzadikTheManic Hello friend! I was just watching a video and you popped up in my mind and I just had to tell you about it! Of course, I know very little about it, and I can't say if it would help you or not, but if I were you I'd definitely check it out. 🤷🏼♀️ It's for folks with treatment resistant depression, and it sounds pretty amazing! I know I'm going to look into doing it myself. Typically it's done in person, but because of COVID-19 it's offered virtually. You still take the medicine, but your guided trip is done via headphones or whatnot. I only watched the first 2 mins of the video so far, but I had to stop and send you the link before I finished watching. (I can't help it...it's the nurse in me😉) Amyway, here's the link, to the video I'm watching, but the actual company has its own website. What I'm sending you is of a lady talking about her experience with the company and the treatment they offer. Again, I can't say if it would work or not, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't at least share it with you. You never know what might happen...and no matter what it's worth checking it out. Please let me know you got this message, and if you'd already heard of this treatment, or done it yourself, please tell me what you think about it! Obviously, I practice "mainstream medicine", but I've always kept a little basket of alternative treatments for those who are interested in going down a different path. To me, what's important is successful treatment, whatever it may be, and sharing it with others. Life's easier if we offer each other help, and accept it when it's offered to us. Good luck to you, and I look forward to hearing back from you! ✌️💜🙏💐 th-cam.com/video/9iZfjPZqxyA/w-d-xo.html
I'm literally sitting in the hospital since August 25 because my soul mate suffered from schizophrenia and paranoia with alcoholism and the a little stretch where he used meth. He shot me 3 times and took his own life. He couldn't find an out. I promised I would never bail on him. I didn't and now he's at peace. He is here in my room all day and night. Keeping me strong because he always said I was the strongest woman he'd ever seen. I just changed my name to his last name. He proposed the day before the tragedy. I love him and forgive him. No one else understands. He was an amazing man but at times he was scary and confusing and I was scared. This song just fell into my TH-cam and now I listen every day. Plus all your music is beautiful. Thank you for acknowledging this sickness. 🖤💯🥰
😢 💔 😢I’m so sorry for your loss. It hurts like no other pain. I know. And loving someone who is suffering from the worst inexplicable inexorable existence that none can fathom is beyond words. I Thank God for you and your unwavering love. You’re a Hero now allowing the soul to heal from this trauma. I am so sorry. I grieve with and for you in much the same ways. Deep pain of Love lost to suicide, mental illness was the bullet. I’m so thankful for you. I’m so proud of you. Your love 💗 your life together is never going to be anything to just simply move on from or to “get over.” But Only to “go through” the process and to cherish the times we had here on this earth with them, knowing that this life is but a vapor and then we meet again in Heaven where we live in God’s peace for all eternity. bc of Jesus. Jesus loves us. Unconditional love is the way He loves too. It hurts so much. Our loss is heaven’s gain. Thank you. Today especially, your message means a lot to me. Listen to the song 🎵 Nur ein Wort by the band Wir Sind Helden. Know that you never gave up. He knows that. He loves you. He’s in heaven now at peace yes. Absolutely. There is nothing you could have done to change the outcome please 🙏 know this. The part that needs help is the soul ~ the mind the will the emotions. The spirit is eternal. I’m mad as a hatter that there’s not more excellent help for this available STAT. When asked, even when received, and wholeheartedly, the hospitals/ the clinics can only do so much !MORE! People are hurting I pray always and I will continue to keep you in my prayers. 🙏 God bless you ❤Beautiful! God bless you and heal you. I pray He makes His face to shine ✨ upon you, be gracious to you, and give you, God’s children, His peace. Amen and amen 🙏 shalom shalom 🕊️ 🫂 ❤️🩹 🙏💔 😢 💖
when 1st heard this, wrote on my card to listen to again, and thanks to my card, ive listened to over and over, lol and dont think i need my card on this. two beautiful, talented ladies with a true and good story. been told i have ptsd and dementia, i dont know,why does god let us remember somethings,then cant remember the day. think maybe im still blessed to realize what is going on in my head, and somehow figure out what i need to do.takes so much work everyday ty ck
@@shannonskelley1681 I hear you. Please know you arnt alone @ Shannon Skelley. This is just the way the universe works. God doesnt manipulate people. That's the Dark One, Prince of Lies. Please know that everything works for the Good. Eventually.
Watching someone you care about become this other individual who you know is sick but you do not know how to help them and hoping that they will come back
How did u no ? I have to say I actually really like this song and want more of this eerie sound but not sure I found anymore either way excellent song 4 sho
I sob uncontrollably when I listen to this song but I keep coming back. I just want to hold them and all cry. I'm 71 and this is very personal. Thank you
I have never been on this site in my life but finding music that mattered just touched my life. Mental health took my Mum away and might steal me soon so to all the people that suffer there is a friend in the stranger that says I am here
I've been married going on 30 years and 7years ago I shared this song with my wife ,,we both had grandparents who faded In and out ,mercy came in their passing early but anyway ,I never knew why my wife didn't appreciate this song for bringing awareness,, and the last few months I now know my lovie is in early stages and it now breaks my heart to watch she's 67, I pretend I don't see the blatant episodes I will sheild her to my very end to help her keep her dignity no matter how she hurts my heart in her words ,I just stay quiet because she brought my life so much beautiful love ,I know I will be praying,God take me quick after she goes cause before her ,life was just apure drag,From the word hello, it's been wonderful and at goodbye ,it will be the memory's of all she brought .Thank you ladies.
My wife has schizophrenia. She's only getting worse with age and meds haven't helped my love. Her grandmother fell pray to the same. We can't find a solution whether western medicine or eastern. This song pulls at my heartstrings on so many levels. I feel helpless while waiting for the inevitable. These girls from Larkin Poe help me with dealing with that. I know that this video is years old. But regardless. The love of my life is losing herself, that's left me to lose myself in kind. The hopeless feeling is a little less bleak listening to Larkin Poe.
I don't know, if you have heard of Edward M. Podvoll yet. He's a founder of the "Windhorse"-Project. An alternative healing method for psychosis. He wrote a book on psychosis and schizophrenia once. The english title is "Recovering Sanity - A Compassionate Approach to Understanding and Treating Psychosis". The main difference between schizophrenia and psychosis is, that a psychotic person has manic episodes, while a schizophrene person stays like this all the time. Maybe it can be useful to you somehow. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia once, which turned out to be wrong 3 years later. The things that were considered schizophrene ideas turned out to be real life behaviour caused by cybermobbing and framing from my neighbours in social media groups behind my back. But I didn't know back then. I only found out last year, when I heard some schoolkids talking about it on the tram. By then I already had no anxieties anymore even without medication. A few months later I caught a peeping Tom at my bathroom window, while he was taking a foto. Then I knew, that everything was real. I only didn't have any proof before of what was going on, so my explanations sounded weird. At least I had the chance to call the police now.
@@petermullen7037 it’s never easy is it? Thank you for responding. If you need to talk, I’m here brother. We’re all in this together. The sooner people understand that, the sooner we can evolve as human beings
This helped me a lot when I had a rough time with my mental illness: www.ted.com/talks/eleanor_longden_the_voices_in_my_head I hope she can find something of use out of it. Psychosis and schizophrenia sucks ass.
You are blessed in your love for each other. I have had lifelong mental illness, went through a period of severe psychosis - that lasted for years - and my husband attacked and rejected me for it. Still dealing with the fallout and now, 11 years later, am finally ready to file for divorce. I came back, while you and your wife, heartbreakingly, are witnessing the loss. Keep the love. Love will help her feel safer. I'm sure you've heard and read of many suggestions. Possibly documenting yourselves, your love, through photos and videos, could be of comfort. Maybe when your wife looks at these, it will give her something to hold on to, reassure her. And don't give up hope. Keep searching.
I want to say thanks. I have schizophrenia too. Musicians making songs about this stuff helps. 1. it eases stigma, 2. it helps normal people understand what's going on with us, 3. it tells us we're not alone. So, thank you. Edited to add: since originally making this post, my diagnosis has changed to Disassociative Identity Disorder. It includes all the symptoms of schizophrenia, but has extras. There's a lot of overlap in mental illnesses.
My hobby is photography, but I'm pretty deep into that, so some time ago I photographed one model who has schizophrenia, what an interesting person I must say. I probably asked he for too many personal things that were interesting to me, like how she deals with it and what it is to be delusional from time to time, and her honest to the bone answers were eye-opening. She's doing pretty good, her parents and boyfriend are supportive and she doesn't hide her mental health issues. She works with animals. Hope she's doing great now. Some people just amaze you when you are a portraitist, remembering that photo-set still brings a smile to my face.
@@СергейМогутов-ъ4д that is heartwarming to hear, thank you for sharing. We are all just human, some have worse problems than others but we are all still unique and interesting in our own way.
I'm a 37 year old man who has watched his elder father start working through this, and started seeing it in myself. This song helps me dance through dementia and feel felt and seen.
I've become a huge fan about 1 week ago when I ran across this song! They've been on YT seems like for years and all of sudden at the end of 2019 they show up in Recommended Vids...??? Guess I got a lotta catching up to do! I'm subscribed Now!! Huge Talent these young ladies are!
This song hits home. My son is 42 with ptsd and paranoid schizophrenia. It's a horrible existence for those with this disease. Prayers for healing this disease.
I am in Music business and never heard of them. I've worked with Billy Joel, Richie Cannata, Charles Lang a Juilliard Music school prodigy since age 7 and I write songs with them, 2 hits and no one has ever mentioned this WONDERFUL GROUP. JUST GENIUS. I love them. Lyrics and arrangement. I feel so, well, stupid. lol It happens. So much TALENT out there.....
Dwayne Koblitz couldn't agree more! What a meaningful & powerful message!!!! Sadly I too, come from a family wt a lot of mental health concerns! I have such respect for those who try to bring awarness to such an unknown illness! God Bless!
I know what time is, time is a thief It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep And you'll never feel it It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head Then you'll wake to find you can't remember what you just said... It happens to everyone Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine I try not to worry Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter It's hard to draw a clear distinction Who you are, who you were Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur And no-one can blame you Well they say the world is what you make it You think, speak and breathe And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe You make the best with what you're given Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses
@@furbabyangels They are refering to mental illness in their family that is considered hereditary. The lyrics are exceptional. They have had the pain of watching members of their family go through various mental illness and science tells them that there is a high chance that they will suffer in the same way. They are pleading with that illness not to come and take their minds.
I'm 47 with 2 children 16 & 4. My father was schizophrenic and I have borderline personality disorder. I instantly felt the power of this wonderful music. Thank you Larkin Poe
I found my grandfather when he committed suicide the day before my birthday by a 12G....he was the closest thing to a father I've ever known and the only man to never hurt me..... He was my best friend but sadly he was fading away and to this day he was the smartest person I've ever known... I'm not mad at him for what he did,I get why he did it... He knew his mind was going and didn't want to be a burden to anyone... A week before it happened I was making us lunch and he asked me with a smile if anything ever happened to him,that I would take care of grandma... And now for the last 12 years my grandmother has lived with me and I'm watching her slowly fade away but I know they will be together again and he's waiting for her.... I miss him every day and I still cry every day a little when no one is looking. But I know he's happy and not suffering anymore and it makes me smile.... I love you Doc and I will see you in the stars....
Told the family- If they ever suspect I'm losing my mind, bring me to the ocean and tell me that they'll meet me on the other side. If I laugh, bring me home. If I start untying my shoes, let me go. Rather die than put them through hell.
That's actually a pretty good idea. Yeah its funny but also a great example of how good humor always has a bit of underlying reality... That said, your joke/instructions will be related to my teen daughters in the comings years. 51 now so I'm sure I can drive them insane by slipping this into my list of horrible dad jokes. Thanks again Ian. Oh and Larkin Poe? Just enjoying some ambassadors x and TH-cam brought me here and hell yeah great band! Both my daughters are on the going to have a band someday side of life and I think these guys would be a great inspiration. The Lovell sisters. Good stuff. 💯
@@PK-hs7up yeah your proly right. And yeah I guess it is kind of sad isn't? LOLbut if I'm that far gone I don't think it'll matter to me anyway it'll just be sad for them and that's what I don't like. I guess that's the point of swimming into Oblivion. And then the actual underlying message is how much I care about them. So turn that frown upside down PK! 💪😎
I can't believe I am just seeing this for the first time. What a wonderful song and performance! I wrote a short story inspired by my grandpa's dementia too - I called it Once Upon a Mad Hatter's Day Off! I was thinking about how the Hatter behaved and the mercury poisoning side effects and what it must be like for him alone after the tea party...
My grandma has alzheimer, she doesn't even know her own name. My mom is starting to forget little things as well and I know this is how it beggins. Since the first time I heard this song it went straight to my bones and heart. I'm a psychologist and all I want to say is I want to give you my entire and enormous gratitude for talking about this.
1 year later , just remember what wee learned from our parents n grandparents. It will always hurt us when they go . But life goes on in this u predictable world . ❤
This song is haunting. Lyrics like "I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine" and "just let me keep what's mine" go straight to my heart and echo in my head. Larkin Poe is phenomenal.
Look up the history of mercury poisoning for hat makers- where the mad as a hatter saying came from. It ended during WW2 in the US, because all of the mercury was needed for war parts, switching to hydrogen peroxide instead.
@@gSWG3R your not well learned the subject. There is a lot you can do. This style is on that is adapted with a lot of inexperienced singers before they find their own voice.
@@Rokosbasil The fact that you label her as inexperienced literally shows how ignorant you are. Go listen to their discography. I've been involved in the music scene for a while mate hahahaha. Her natural signing voice is just simply like this. These two are versed in music theory, they're not following trends, they're comfortable in their own style.
@@gSWG3R we're not mates. I've glad you have been " involved" in the music scene. I've been a studio engineer and have been making records since the early 90s. Anyone can learn to sing...anyone. she just so happens to be blessed with a great natural tone that needs refinement. Everybody and their mother has been raping this style for years. Draaaaging the vowels out and finishing the phrase with a weak ass vibrato. It's played out. Seriously dating the music. She can do better.
Hi @@CrystalBbyUSA LP wrote that song. I'm referring to versions of that song recorded at other venues. Including the version recorded with the Nu Deco Ensemble. This here, if the absolute best!
Michael Stull and what can you conclude ? This must be a lesson of “recollection reflection” what will/do we remember and why and will we remember when we die ? The sadness belongs to those who see but where is the feeling of those who “be” losing it ...... I never understood why this situation hasn’t been “rectified” and dealt with when we all have our own cognitive abilities. It’s so hard on the loved ones looking on .... my prayer of peace 4U is Now ☦️
Just lost my mom from dementia a month ago. Being her caregiver for the last ten years, id do it all over again just for my mom😢. This song brought tears to my eyes.
As some one diagnosed with sz I find great comfort in this song. Yes we do need to talk about mental illness more openly in our society. Thanks so mu'ch for the great song ladies. Very moving to me. I"'m 61 now so I've experienced my share of challenges in my life relative to this sz diagnosis. Keep the great music coming. I"m a big fan. Love to see you guys in San Diego once the air clears in our world.
Amen! I also love the comparisons. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, and too many people associate the diagnosis with the scenes/character in Fatal Attraction. I seriously can't hurt God's creatures (nor humans, intentionally), yet people who don't know me (and even some who do) assume many negative characteristics about me because of the label. I feel many have more empathy/sympathy for addicts. Our society has come so far in so many respects...except as far as mental illnesses go. You'd think we chose this fate.
@@jeff77581 do you know about the SZ research on "hearing voices" out of mastricht university. They have done amazing work to develop a group-based self-help/ therapy that works. Even if you feel mostly stable, people like you are an asset as they can help mentor younger individuals. I wish our society made enough room for everyone instead of traumatising the most interesting personalities
This song is amazing, deep and beautiful. This is what music should be, spreading a message to people and trying to open people's minds to things out there. I thank Larkin Poe for writing this song as it's more touching than I care to detail.
I'm a guy who has overcome his mental illness recently. At the age of 66 I've become a decent musician and I thank you for this song and message...It was a lifelong struggle beginning at the age of 14. I never gave up and many afflicted with mental illness thank you for this video...
I lost my father two years ago to Lewy Body dementia. It's so insidious. It doesn't take away the memories, like Alzheimers does. But it plunges those suffering from it into a world of confusion and spatial disorientation, all the while knowing that they slipping closer and closer to death. To be honest, I was grateful when he passed. And that's so hard to say. Thank you for this wonderful song.
Yes. I begged mother to let it go. It was not worth the struggle. Hard for her to accept. Strong lady raised 9 kids after divorced in 60s when not accepted as is today. I found a journal she'd been keeping of family events covering some 30 years, births, deaths, struggles some of us went through. So tragic to see her penmanship and expression struggle to come light in single sentence. Could see how long she was fighting to keep her capacities there. All the way down to just a hard to make out date to just a scratched line. Discovered the first day of her having to be in a care center. Couldn't stop reading and had to leave room. Completely broke down. No one in this world deserves to age in such matter. Peace be with all, all rest in peace.
Witnessed my grandfather, a ww2 vet, suffer for far too long with it. Honestly, found out how truly great the man was. Yea, there was the typical male sexual bs here and there, but mostly he was kind and loving. Just very confusing. He always asked to go home. He was, for most of the time, in his home that he built with his two hands. But, he wanted to go home. When he passed o felt a relief. He finally got to go home
AS 3 out of 4 of my grandparents died with dementia (the other died of lung cancer through smoking) this means something to me. 'Please don't come for me.'
This song hits close to home. Not only do I have a mental illness, so did my son. On 2/13 this month, he took his own life. He had autism. High functioning. He had also been dealing with depression for a great deal of his life. He just turned 26, in November. He had been receiving mental health care, and was in the middle of coming up with a diagnosis. Possible bipolar. He also struggled with dementia, due to that mental illness. For the past few weeks he seemed to be doing better. On the morning of the 13th, he had a mental health follow up appointment. He'd gotten up, with me, as usual to go. I saw him twice. In his room and coming out of the bathroom. A few short minutes later, my husband and I heard a popping sound from the kitchen and the living room. We ran to Eric. Needless to say, he didn't make it. He'd always said he wouldn't make it to 40. And for many years, he hated life and has a death wish. Clearly, he just couldn't take anymore. Dealing with so many disabilities. I also believe he had PTSD. Again, he seemed to be doing better. Clearly, not. After he passed, we checked to see if he had been taking his mood stabilizer. He had not. But, he was taking Prozac. It's a known drug to cause suicidal thoughts. A lot of things contributed to why I believe he did what he did. He was just supremely unhappy, felt overwhelmed and incapable. We miss him terribly. But, I believe he's finally at peace, after so many years of struggling.
My god the Lovell sisters never cease to amaze me. As someone with early onset Parkinson's, a father with Alzheimers, and a Bi-Polar mother this song came out of nowhere and hit me like truck full of bricks. These two get it. And this all beyond the fact that I think Larkin Poe is pound for pound the best band working right now.
They are in an elite class, that's for sure. its a shame that passionate music has to take a backseat to all the shiiiite in the world. Randall, i hope your transition through life is smooth and full of song. give reignwolf AKA (jordan cook), colter wall, shawn james, dead south, and greta van fleet a listen. music heals and helps the dark clouds soften just a bit.
This song instigated a long time interest in your talent. My grandfather was a paranoid schizophrenic, my father clinically depressed, his mother progressed into dementia before she passed, and my brother schizo-affective bipolar. My older sister cannot physically carry children due to a health condition, my younger brother would be unlikely and on social security due to what was mentioned above. That left me, the middle daughter, as the one child who could produce blood-related grandchildren. According to my dad, he went out into the field on our family property, and told God, who he has a strong faith in, that he didn’t want our genes to go on, that he did not want any biological grandchildren for the chance of struggle they could be born with. But, if he did have one, that he would know God had a plan for that child. Two weeks later I told him I was pregnant. Unexpectedly, out of wedlock, and while I’m not religious in the way my parents are, my mother took this hard. My dad, however, took it better than I expected. I’ll admit that a family history of mental illness has made me hyper vigilant of my son’s mental state as he has grown up, and that my dad has been a far more involved as a grandfather than he ever was as a father, but ‘please don’t come for me’ has been present as well as ‘please don’t come for him’ for both of us. Way too many words to say this song is fantastic lyrically and musically, and it hit home for me and my family. Brilliant. Thank you.
Lyrics: I know what time is, time is a thief It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep You'll never feel it It pulls off the covers, rifles through your head Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said Happens to everyone Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine I try not to worry Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me (Please don't come for me) Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter It's hard to draw a clear distinction Who you are, who you were Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur No-one can blame you Well they say the world is what you make it You think, speak and breathe And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe Make the best with what you're given Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me Mind over matter (don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter (music) Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red (Please) Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red (ohohohoooo) Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head (ohh) Paint the roses, paint the roses red (ohhh) Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, (ohh) off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red (ohhhh) Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red (uku?) Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red (ohh) Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses red Off with her head, off with her head Paint the roses, paint the roses
I did 2 years of home hospice with my great uncle, watching him slip away a day at a time. He was still in there, right to the end, but he understood less and less. I loved him so much. He's been gone 10 years, but this song has me messy crying. I still miss him.
I'm in love with this song and this version of it, the instrumentals are so good and the vocals just amazing! Love wen she stops playing the mandolin and goes of to her own little world and unleashes those killer vocals gives me goose bumps every time. This has been a must on my play list for years now absolutely brilliant these girls
When I was younger and went through tough times I used to tell myself, "Whatever else I lose, whatever they can take from me I'll always have what's in my mind and my heart." Then I took care of my father as Alzheimer's took him slowly, unraveling like a scarf until there was nothing left but fear and anger, mostly directed at the people who'd been closest to him. Now, all that's left of him is our memories of him. I try to hang on to the good memories but the bad ones were so horrible it's tough. The scariest thing anyone can say to me is ,"You're just like your dad." They mean it as a compliment but it feels more like a curse and it makes my heart skid to a stop.
Beautiful ladies. It's been my honor to have cared for the elderly, the demented and insane for almost 40 years as a nurse and your song did every one of them empathetic justice. If I were still teaching CNAs I'd want to use the lyrics to open a window so they could really see. Thank you.
Suzanne, listen to twenty one pilots, the singer/ songwriter, composer sings about this and connects with fans globally, helping so many kids to stay alive l-/
In the early 70's we were all tripping on acid when literally my brother just broke down. It was the first of what was to become full blown schizophrenia. He died 10yrs ago, in his 50s broken and exhausted by this hideous disease. I broke down listening to this .The part where she expressed concern for her own mind. RIP Ray I pray the Lord has granted you peace of mind.
Sorry for the lost. LSD has the power to let the demon named schizophrenia inside the mind. The 60s ruined so much innocence for the next generations to come.
This song is haunting - simply gorgeous! And this is my favourite rendition of it. I can't wait to see you ladies again in July, at Guitares en Scène!!
This song is truly therapy. My grandmother fell deep into mental illness. It hurt to see her suffer, we all suffered together as a small family. Love the ones I have left. Thankful for what she taught me, the good memories ♥ 💔 ♥
There are great bands in younger generations, the problem is that they aren't recognized by the public and slowly fade away. The real issue here are the radios and ignorance
I actually already got a tattoo that says Mind Over Matter. This song being such a new and important meaning of it to me. My partner is suffering from mental illness with psychosis among other health issues which has led to separation and sadness... Thank you for this incredible masterpiece. 🎶✨♥️
I'm so blown away by this song. Fortunately I can't relate to this illness,but your voices and music just cut through my soul like a burning torch. Got goosebumps and teary-eyed from this song. Brilliant!!!!
I love this song! I was diagnosed with sz about 35 years ago and it's so refreshing to see a band on the edge of greatness be so open about mental illness. I salute Larkin Poe and praly for your mom and Grandpa!
So the last few days I've been watching these two young ladies absolutely slaying some classic covers , their musicianship and great harmonies prove real talent. Now to see them really stretch out with their own songs, wow, amazing!
I've been watching this on average about once a day for about a week and a half at this point. In that time I've noticed the views seem to be ticking up at about 15,000 a day.
I'm 63 and have schizoaffective disorder. I spent 10 years homeless, I live alone now, and now my heart is failing. What a wonderful thing to be memorialized by your grandchildren.
@WarnerElliot You keep strong water sun and nature do your bestest and smile IKNOW ITS RUFF N TUFF AND @ TIMES STUCK IS THE SITUATION DO YOUR BEST TO STAY POSITIVE LOVE LIGHT N LOVE 💫💚💫
Saw my father lose himself physically and mentally from Parkinson's. Dementia and delusions, plus shaking and weak. My brilliant strong father... slowly disappearing... till he was gone. I still remember kissing him that last time when he didn't even recognize me anymore to say goodbye. Song brought tears.
Going through the same thing now with my Father in Law who was a Dad to me when mine didn't want anything to do with me. Not gonna be a good day when he passes, for any of us.
So this has been around for at least years and it’s only just reached my ears. Better late than never, springs to mind. Brilliant song and performance.
I have lost count of how many times I've watched this. Absolutely floored...aside from the fact that the lyrics and arrangement are phenomenal, when Rebecca starts at 5:15 I sat there like a total muppet with my eyes wide and jaw on the desk in absolute awe. That voice. Just...wow. And Megan on the steel and harmony, completely spellbound. Love everything about this. Everything. Larkin Poe are my new favourites. Excuse me while I go and devour every bit of content on them I can find.
I think the location is fitting for the song too, and I am sad that, AFAIK the performance venue is lost, and in fact was already closed before I even discovered it existed. I would have loved to have been at this show, and to see other performers there; it is only about 15 miles from where my mother lives.
Crikey these women are amazing! Powerful song! Can’t stop replaying it. Addictive, stunning, entrancing! These ladies are ‘SPECIAL’. Holy GOD, this is heaven speaking!
Yikes, that is close to perfection. Difficult family tribute, lyrics of love and understanding, musical and vocal harmonies both simple and complex, beautiful blend of instruments, tight live stage performance. Chills.
I know what time is, Time is a thief. It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep. You'll never feel it. It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head. Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said... It happens to everyone... Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind and I can't forget that one fourth of his blood is mine I try not to worry... ~~~ PLEASE don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine. Please don't come for me, If you must then just please wait and let me have some time. Please don't come for me. Mind over matter when you're as mad as a hatter... ~~~ It's hard to draw a clear distinction When you are who you are. Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur though I keep playing Well they say the world is what you make it you think, speak and breathe. and those rules solidify, stuck in a world of make believe. You make the best of what you are given.... ~~~ Off with the head, off with the head... paint the roses, paint the roses... Please...
The Marlboroughs What about the other pieces that make the whole entirety? No Percussion or Bass? huh. I’m sure that it would still be awesome but man .......... Or not Keep taking them blue pills
That's because society is a fabrication of a false reality that most people fall in line with because it's much easier to cope when you aren't the only one living a lie.
I've watched this about a dozen times in the last 10 hours and have consumed everything else I can find from them. Awesome band but powerful lyrics. And who doesn't like a weeping guitar haunting an excellent heart gripping floating riff?! Great composition. Instant fan.
They are thoroughly amazing. But 3 days? Absolutely impossible that you've heard everything yet. Lol! They must have at least 500 various videos on TH-cam. I first heard them (this video, I think) about 2 years ago, and still every once in a while a video pops up that I hadn't seen before. And then there's the early Lovell sisters stuff when they were teens. As a new fan, I invite you to join the Larkin Poets fan page on Facebook. Lots of super cool hard-core fans. Very active posting of videos and tweets and such. Welcome to the strange trip down the Larkin Poe rabbit hole...
Through my random searches on youtube, I happened upon this song by chance about a year ago and instantly fell in love with your music. This song in specific touches my heart and soul. My grandfather was diagnosed with elzheimer's a few years back, and comes and goes.I may speak with him over the phone and all is good,and the very next day I call and he has no idea who I am. It hurts deeply to see anyone go through this,and I hate seeing him this way. Your song expresses the same feeling I have perfectly, and I love you guys for that.
Life is strange sometimes. I had never heard of this group, yet today - just 2 days after a funeral for my elderly aunt, who had dementia - this pops up on my you tube feed. Must listen again.
This song really gets to me. My mother has paranoid schizophrenia and some days are worse than others. I always had this subconcious fear of being also predisposed after my mom found out that her Grandfather she's never met also suffered from schizophrenia. Everytime she tells me about the things she's experiencing it sounds to me like there's a war going on inside her head. She tries to fight against something(manifests often as an omnipresent voice) that tells her that she is not loved and that she has no place here. So let me leave this here: You are loved! You belong! Let people be there for you
please look into everything on "the hearing voices movement" it could change your life and help you prevent the worst in the long-term. it's free, so that's probably why you don't know about it. I also recommend Madinamerica or madintheuk.
Heard this about 6 years ago. And come back to it when I want to reminisce and bring myself back to reality. And calm down. Beautiful vocals and song in general.
This is the song that really got loving this band. These ladies are so very talented I also put them into my spotify feed and I'm loving every minute of listening to them. They also lead me to other great bands and artists in this genre.
I've listened to this song many times, and I still get chills. It should become the anthem for mental health. Thanks for creating this amazing masterpiece!
How...how is this my first time hearing this??? No matter - I'm hearing it right when I'm meant to. Started losing my mind at 11. Diagnosed severely obsessive compulsive w/ anxiety and depression by 17. Heavily mediated and in therapy until a NDE and identity crisis at 25. Just turned 31 and I finally surrendered it for good...no more "mental illness" and no more suffering. After 6 years of dark nights I'm giving up thinking for good. Living in the heart of Presence, Now, on purpose. As Eckhart Tolle says, "nothing real is threatened, nothing unreal exists, herein lies the peace of God." There are no people...only presence. What wonderful presence this music brings. Blessed Be
I’m an old man with successful children and I have a schizoaffective disorder. My daughter paused her life and lives with me on the farm where she shares my good and bad days. I know it’s not easy for her to watch and pick up the pieces when I’m broken. Your song touched my heart and my love for her.
No one deserves to pass in such ways. Just plane evil to see, experience, or live around it. Powerful blessed souls wilteled down to a shell of what once was. Misery is not wanted, let all go in peace.
I did the same for my dad with Alzheimers. Share your comment with her, it will mean the world. He was unable to, but past emails remind I am doing his wishes.
Stay strong Doug
Touching Doug, stay strong brother and be well. Keep fighting, you got this! Music is Powerful!
Doug, my heart is with you. My father was schizophrenic, he passed decades back at I’m 63 now. I have manic depression which in itself is trying -
I was told by a psychiatrist that it is the extremely tender souls that have these disorders but that we are also on a different plane of existence. Not sure I’m getting my point across, but never be ashamed or sorry for who you are. Your life has been a gift to those that love you.
It's the existence of songs like these that keeps my faith in discovering new, good music alive.
Dig a bit and you'll find that great music is all around you. Possibly more now more than ever. Don't despair, the joy is here still.
Absolutely 💯
Look up Tyler Childers if you don't know him already. I promise you won't regret.
No matter the time, no matter the culture and fashion dominance, meaningful songs will always resurface every once in a while.
So don't forget how to prickle your ears up to music.

As a 62-year-old I'm often telling my peers that music is as great today as it was in the '80s & '90s, you just have to look a bit harder for it - I rest my case! An amazingly talented band that I'm so pleased to have found.
Then there's all the CIA Rock,, and black trash Rap and hip hop. Music in 2023 is terror related GOVERNMENT attack
The distinction I think is that pop music was a lot better back then, now most pop music is (I'll restrain myself here) quite bad. I agree though, I just avoid the radio and pop music but there's so much good stuff out there.
So true!!!
You need to look. That's the fact. The easy stuff has gone hopeless. But the new thing is being able to find the really good stuff. Let the top 40 be the really lowest end. Let people find this, come on in.
Feel you bro
Had the great pleasure of seeing them perform this live. They wrote it when they were just 15 and 16.
OMG they are amazing
Ohhh my sweet Lord! That's incredible!!
a holy song 🎵 and what a sacred ❤ experience that is @carsandchrist40 Thank you for sharing, 🙏 you’re a walking miracle.
they are amazing. the amount of heart put behind their work is touching.
Prolific!!!
My grandfather fell "in love" with me every time I would visit him.
As much as it saddened me to see him fade away it brought me a bit of peace knowing that he felt genuine happiness in his last days. It's not something anyone can understand unless they've experienced but he had a school boy crush on me...his granddaughter of 30 years. He asked me every time he "met" me if I was married. He was a gentleman til the end and left this earth with the innocence of a child. Love you Papa
So painful. I'm so sorry.
Hearing this song and reading your words brought me to tears.
There is a human inside me.
Thank you for the reminder.
Bless you for the rest of your days.
That's sad but so sweet!
I helped my mom take care of my grandmother who had Alzheimer's so my mom could work and still have Ganny at her home. You reminded me of every once in awhile she would look at my mom and tell her I was her boyfriend. Lol.
At least he passed away being happy to see you .. that's all that matters
I'm a nurse and I've always hated how easy it is for someone with a broken arm to go get the care they need, but when it comes to a "broken" brain, people shy away from seeking the care they need, because of the stigma attached to mental health needs.
But it's NOTHING to be ashamed of; we need to support one another, and encourage each other to seek treatment, no matter what it is that needs "fixing".
Thanks for the song, it's absolutely wonderful!
Take care everyone! ✌️💜😷
How I *wish* my mental health issues could be helped not unlike setting a fractured bone. I entirely understand what you’re saying though trust me, sadly the stigma keeps endless souls from receiving care - can’t imagine how many suicides could be prevented. I’m at the end of my rope, not sure how much longer I can do this each day; I have had treatment-resistant depression, debilitating anxiety, pure ocd & severe adhd since my late teens. Have tried over 80 meds, diff types of therapy, barely any help. I just wish I fell into the population (over 90% of those treated) who experience some level of relief... Since the pandemic I’ve been full of suicidal ideation nearly every day & waking minute. I’m used to this but usually it doesn’t last for months, the heightened instability that is :/ Sorry for a long reply, couldn’t help myself. Actually a good thing as I’ve been in bed for days, at least I actually feel ‘ok’ enough to go on YT!
-Kind regards & thank you for your work, wherever you are...it’s especially heroic & selfless in this world
@@TzadikTheManic I'm the queen of long replies, so don't you dare apologize! 😉 I'm sorry you're having such a hard time; dealing with the feelings you've had since your teen years, is hard enough, and the last thing you needed was the COVID-19 nightmare. I've heard so many people saying the same thing, and it breaks my heart! I wish I had a magic pill that would take it all away, leaving you carefree and happy, unfortunately I haven't seen that yet. I wish I could say the perfect thing, that would make your pain go away, but I don't have that either. I'm so sorry, my friend!
When I've been in that place (I call it my cave) I kinda want to punch everyone in the face, that say things like, "Keep your chin up, tomorrow's another day", and, "I've been there too, but things will get better!" and, "Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.", and "Why don't you try therapy? That worked for my cousin.". 🙄 I'm like, "yeah, thanks. So helpful.😒". I know they're just trying to help, but it never actually helps. Here's my favorite one..."What do you have to be so sad about? You're young, you have a job, there's food on the table, and people love you! Why don't you just get up, take a shower, and go for a walk to clear your head? That always help me."... I'm sure you've heard your fair share of those things too, and I bet they were just as helpful to you as they were to me...0% helpful.
All I can say is that I understand, and I wish I could help. If only it were a broken arm, I could. 🤷🏼♀️ I'm sorry, and I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences with me. Anytime you want to vent to a stranger, I'll be right here ready to listen. ✌️💜
@Suzy Q Thank you so much for your warm reply. Yes indeed, I have had *all* of the above and more said to me...people mean well but it’s so frustrating & only makes you feel more detached, alone......in a cave. There’s so much I feel like saying (it’s almost midnight & unfortunately my anxiety/agitation is always worse at night, no idea why, it’s like being possessed in a sense - obviously I don’t mean that literally but it’s hell as all I want is to have a moment of peace, my brain won’t allow it, I feel “out of control” in that way, it’s like my mind/body is pure adrenaline for no reason, & end up staying awake til the sun rises 😞) but I won’t because this reply will resemble a novel 😉. I’d like to see a neurologist actually but due to covid19 I haven’t even been in a supermarket or *anywhere* since March. I just can’t do it. Ok going to force myself to stop here, don’t want to be a burden!
-Thanks again for your genuine compassion, I can really sense it & that means a lot to me, over the ‘net & even though we don’t know each other - thank you!
@@IAmSuzyQ The Stigma is real. And in many cases justified. Anyone I knew who suffered from mental issues who tried to "bring it up" ended up 3 places.
They were either forcibly commited to an institution. Or they were given enough medication to tranquilize a god and spent the rest of their lives so doped up they could barely function on a human level until they eventually ODd or their brains melted.
You know medical lobotomies are still performed in some places? What a horrible way to spend the rest of your life. A medically induced vegetable.
The ones lucky enough to escape any of those fate went utterly broke trying to find treatment.
Its easy to say people should just "seek help" for a "broken brain" but the implications of making it known that your brain is "damaged" doesn't help. It makes some people afraid of you, and makes others see you as a target, and either way you get fucked. Its a glorious double standard.
@@TzadikTheManic Hello friend! I was just watching a video and you popped up in my mind and I just had to tell you about it! Of course, I know very little about it, and I can't say if it would help you or not, but if I were you I'd definitely check it out. 🤷🏼♀️ It's for folks with treatment resistant depression, and it sounds pretty amazing! I know I'm going to look into doing it myself.
Typically it's done in person, but because of COVID-19 it's offered virtually. You still take the medicine, but your guided trip is done via headphones or whatnot. I only watched the first 2 mins of the video so far, but I had to stop and send you the link before I finished watching. (I can't help it...it's the nurse in me😉) Amyway, here's the link, to the video I'm watching, but the actual company has its own website. What I'm sending you is of a lady talking about her experience with the company and the treatment they offer.
Again, I can't say if it would work or not, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't at least share it with you. You never know what might happen...and no matter what it's worth checking it out.
Please let me know you got this message, and if you'd already heard of this treatment, or done it yourself, please tell me what you think about it! Obviously, I practice "mainstream medicine", but I've always kept a little basket of alternative treatments for those who are interested in going down a different path. To me, what's important is successful treatment, whatever it may be, and sharing it with others. Life's easier if we offer each other help, and accept it when it's offered to us. Good luck to you, and I look forward to hearing back from you! ✌️💜🙏💐

I'm literally sitting in the hospital since August 25 because my soul mate suffered from schizophrenia and paranoia with alcoholism and the a little stretch where he used meth. He shot me 3 times and took his own life. He couldn't find an out. I promised I would never bail on him. I didn't and now he's at peace. He is here in my room all day and night. Keeping me strong because he always said I was the strongest woman he'd ever seen. I just changed my name to his last name. He proposed the day before the tragedy. I love him and forgive him. No one else understands. He was an amazing man but at times he was scary and confusing and I was scared. This song just fell into my TH-cam and now I listen every day. Plus all your music is beautiful. Thank you for acknowledging this sickness. 🖤💯🥰
OMG Bless you.
😢 💔 😢I’m so sorry for your loss. It hurts like no other pain. I know. And loving someone who is suffering from the worst inexplicable inexorable existence that none can fathom is beyond words. I Thank God for you and your unwavering love. You’re a Hero now allowing the soul to heal from this trauma. I am so sorry. I grieve with and for you in much the same ways. Deep pain of Love lost to suicide, mental illness was the bullet. I’m so thankful for you. I’m so proud of you. Your love 💗 your life together is never going to be anything to just simply move on from or to “get over.” But Only to “go through” the process and to cherish the times we had here on this earth with them, knowing that this life is but a vapor and then we meet again in Heaven where we live in God’s peace for all eternity. bc of Jesus. Jesus loves us. Unconditional love is the way He loves too. It hurts so much. Our loss is heaven’s gain. Thank you. Today especially, your message means a lot to me.
Listen to the song 🎵 Nur ein Wort by the band Wir Sind Helden. Know that you never gave up. He knows that. He loves you. He’s in heaven now at peace yes. Absolutely. There is nothing you could have done to change the outcome please 🙏 know this. The part that needs help is the soul ~ the mind the will the emotions. The spirit is eternal. I’m mad as a hatter that there’s not more excellent help for this available STAT. When asked, even when received, and wholeheartedly, the hospitals/ the clinics can only do so much !MORE! People are hurting I pray always and I will continue to keep you in my prayers. 🙏 God bless you ❤Beautiful! God bless you and heal you. I pray He makes His face to shine ✨ upon you, be gracious to you, and give you, God’s children, His peace. Amen and amen 🙏 shalom shalom 🕊️ 🫂 ❤️🩹 🙏💔 😢 💖

Jesus. My stepson is schizophrenic, recently diagnosed and dealing with this is the fifth circle of hell.
This was the first Larken Poe song I heard. I return to it often and the high is still delightful after all these years.
I'm a psychiatric nurse and keep on returning to this song. Gives me the chills all over. So good, such an important topic portrayed so artfully.
I have been.
when 1st heard this, wrote on my card to listen to again, and thanks to my card, ive listened to over and over, lol and dont think i need my card on this. two beautiful, talented ladies with a true and good story. been told i have ptsd and dementia, i dont know,why does god let us remember somethings,then cant remember the day. think maybe im still blessed to realize what is going on in my head, and somehow figure out what i need to do.takes so much work everyday ty ck

Yup... I come back to this performance of this song often.
Watching someone you care about become this other individual who you know is sick but you do not know how to help them and hoping that they will come back
Let's be honest. You didn't search this. But you stayed anyway. And then you couldn't stop watching more and more
no...not yet in the mood...leaving now
stop reading my mind, thats creepy af...
How did u no ? I have to say I actually really like this song and want more of this eerie sound but not sure I found anymore either way excellent song 4 sho
Actually I did. Looking for songs about madness and insanity for inspiration for creative writing
Truce ...
I sob uncontrollably when I listen to this song but I keep coming back. I just want to hold them and all cry. I'm 71 and this is very personal. Thank you
Nothing, but love brother, keep the faith, be strong and enjoy the times you can love the memories as that is all we have in this world.
I'm 36 I feel this song so much....
I have never been on this site in my life but finding music that mattered just touched my life. Mental health took my Mum away and might steal me soon so to all the people that suffer there is a friend in the stranger that says I am here
Peace love & blessings brethren. 🙌💪💜💛💖

So much love to you all 💜🤗
It’s so very important to love & take care of each other! Sir, I hope you receive the same care & love you give
I've been married going on 30 years and 7years ago I shared this song with my wife ,,we both had grandparents who faded In and out ,mercy came in their passing early but anyway ,I never knew why my wife didn't appreciate this song for bringing awareness,, and the last few months I now know my lovie is in early stages and it now breaks my heart to watch she's 67, I pretend I don't see the blatant episodes I will sheild her to my very end to help her keep her dignity no matter how she hurts my heart in her words ,I just stay quiet because she brought my life so much beautiful love ,I know I will be praying,God take me quick after she goes cause before her ,life was just apure drag,From the word hello, it's been wonderful and at goodbye ,it will be the memory's of all she brought .Thank you ladies.
My wife has schizophrenia. She's only getting worse with age and meds haven't helped my love. Her grandmother fell pray to the same. We can't find a solution whether western medicine or eastern. This song pulls at my heartstrings on so many levels. I feel helpless while waiting for the inevitable. These girls from Larkin Poe help me with dealing with that. I know that this video is years old. But regardless. The love of my life is losing herself, that's left me to lose myself in kind. The hopeless feeling is a little less bleak listening to Larkin Poe.
Thanks ! Same problems.
I don't know, if you have heard of Edward M. Podvoll yet. He's a founder of the "Windhorse"-Project. An alternative healing method for psychosis. He wrote a book on psychosis and schizophrenia once. The english title is "Recovering Sanity - A Compassionate Approach to Understanding and Treating Psychosis". The main difference between schizophrenia and psychosis is, that a psychotic person has manic episodes, while a schizophrene person stays like this all the time. Maybe it can be useful to you somehow.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia once, which turned out to be wrong 3 years later. The things that were considered schizophrene ideas turned out to be real life behaviour caused by cybermobbing and framing from my neighbours in social media groups behind my back. But I didn't know back then. I only found out last year, when I heard some schoolkids talking about it on the tram. By then I already had no anxieties anymore even without medication. A few months later I caught a peeping Tom at my bathroom window, while he was taking a foto. Then I knew, that everything was real. I only didn't have any proof before of what was going on, so my explanations sounded weird. At least I had the chance to call the police now.
@@petermullen7037 it’s never easy is it? Thank you for responding. If you need to talk, I’m here brother. We’re all in this together. The sooner people understand that, the sooner we can evolve as human beings
This helped me a lot when I had a rough time with my mental illness: www.ted.com/talks/eleanor_longden_the_voices_in_my_head I hope she can find something of use out of it. Psychosis and schizophrenia sucks ass.
You are blessed in your love for each other. I have had lifelong mental illness, went through a period of severe psychosis - that lasted for years - and my husband attacked and rejected me for it. Still dealing with the fallout and now, 11 years later, am finally ready to file for divorce. I came back, while you and your wife, heartbreakingly, are witnessing the loss. Keep the love. Love will help her feel safer. I'm sure you've heard and read of many suggestions. Possibly documenting yourselves, your love, through photos and videos, could be of comfort. Maybe when your wife looks at these, it will give her something to hold on to, reassure her. And don't give up hope. Keep searching.
I want to say thanks. I have schizophrenia too. Musicians making songs about this stuff helps. 1. it eases stigma, 2. it helps normal people understand what's going on with us, 3. it tells us we're not alone. So, thank you.
Edited to add: since originally making this post, my diagnosis has changed to Disassociative Identity Disorder. It includes all the symptoms of schizophrenia, but has extras. There's a lot of overlap in mental illnesses.
blue october's lead frontman has the same illness the music that band makes is beautiful
@@grizzleBOX1633 I went and checked them out on your recommendation and I like it. Thanks so much.
@@grizzleBOX1633 i didn't know that thanks
My hobby is photography, but I'm pretty deep into that, so some time ago I photographed one model who has schizophrenia, what an interesting person I must say. I probably asked he for too many personal things that were interesting to me, like how she deals with it and what it is to be delusional from time to time, and her honest to the bone answers were eye-opening. She's doing pretty good, her parents and boyfriend are supportive and she doesn't hide her mental health issues. She works with animals. Hope she's doing great now. Some people just amaze you when you are a portraitist, remembering that photo-set still brings a smile to my face.
@@СергейМогутов-ъ4д that is heartwarming to hear, thank you for sharing. We are all just human, some have worse problems than others but we are all still unique and interesting in our own way.
I'm a 37 year old man who has watched his elder father start working through this, and started seeing it in myself. This song helps me dance through dementia and feel felt and seen.
I watched my Dad go through Dementia, now my mum has Alzheimers. I always come back to this track in time of need. I love you for writing this ❤

Every video on youtube has a funny as hell comment...always. This is again, one of them.
lol lol lol
I never heard of Larkin Poe before. I'm a fan now
Absolute same
Same..
Same as of now.
Me neither , makes you annoyed at what commercial advertising is hiding from us
I've become a huge fan about 1 week ago when I ran across this song! They've been on YT seems like for years and all of sudden at the end of 2019 they show up in Recommended Vids...??? Guess I got a lotta catching up to do! I'm subscribed Now!! Huge Talent these young ladies are!
This song hits home. My son is 42 with ptsd and paranoid schizophrenia. It's a horrible existence for those with this disease. Prayers for healing this disease.

I am in Music business and never heard of them. I've worked with Billy Joel, Richie Cannata, Charles Lang a Juilliard Music school prodigy since age 7 and I write songs with them, 2 hits and no one has ever mentioned this WONDERFUL GROUP. JUST GENIUS. I love them. Lyrics and arrangement. I feel so, well, stupid. lol It happens. So much TALENT out there.....
And they happen to be stunning beautiful, not only in music and soul
It didn't, at least a small part of it

Dwayne Koblitz same with me!!!!
Yup! I just saw it in the list and the name of the song got me. 10/10 was not disappointed.
Man, you read my mind!
Dwayne Koblitz couldn't agree more! What a meaningful & powerful message!!!! Sadly I too, come from a family wt a lot of mental health concerns! I have such respect for those who try to bring awarness to such an unknown illness! God Bless!
Exactly the same for me. Happy accident and excellent message woven into this great tune!
I know what time is, time is a thief
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep
And you'll never feel it
It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head
Then you'll wake to find you can't remember what you just said...
It happens to everyone
Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine
I try not to worry
Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine)
Please don't come for me
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time)
Please don't come for me
Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter
It's hard to draw a clear distinction
Who you are, who you were
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
And no-one can blame you
Well they say the world is what you make it
You think, speak and breathe
And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe
You make the best with what you're given
Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine)
Please don't come for me
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time)
Please don't come for me
Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter
Off with her head, off with her head
Paint the roses, paint the roses
thanks
Easy son...lol
Thanks for this. I'm wondering what they mean by "plz don't come for me.."?
@@furbabyangels They are refering to mental illness in their family that is considered hereditary.
The lyrics are exceptional. They have had the pain of watching members of their family go through various mental illness and science tells them that there is a high chance that they will suffer in the same way.
They are pleading with that illness not to come and take their minds.

One of the most beautiful songs of all times.
One of the most underrated bands of all times.
I doubt they'll be underrated for long. Saw them at a festival last year, and they just killed it.

First time I've ever heard of Larkin Poe, and now I'm a fan. A heartbreaking beautiful song.
I found my grandfather when he committed suicide the day before my birthday by a 12G....he was the closest thing to a father I've ever known and the only man to never hurt me..... He was my best friend but sadly he was fading away and to this day he was the smartest person I've ever known... I'm not mad at him for what he did,I get why he did it... He knew his mind was going and didn't want to be a burden to anyone... A week before it happened I was making us lunch and he asked me with a smile if anything ever happened to him,that I would take care of grandma... And now for the last 12 years my grandmother has lived with me and I'm watching her slowly fade away but I know they will be together again and he's waiting for her.... I miss him every day and I still cry every day a little when no one is looking. But I know he's happy and not suffering anymore and it makes me smile.... I love you Doc and I will see you in the stars....
I just fell to the floor practically. The sacrifices you've made for the ones you love. So strong.
Bless you. I found my mom (grandmother) dead at 8 years old.. the most tragic event ever.
Omg done me, bless your soul x
That made me tear up more than a little. Bless you, kind soul!
❤😪
Told the family- If they ever suspect I'm losing my mind, bring me to the ocean and tell me that they'll meet me on the other side. If I laugh, bring me home. If I start untying my shoes, let me go. Rather die than put them through hell.
That's actually a pretty good idea. Yeah its funny but also a great example of how good humor always has a bit of underlying reality... That said, your joke/instructions will be related to my teen daughters in the comings years. 51 now so I'm sure I can drive them insane by slipping this into my list of horrible dad jokes. Thanks again Ian.
Oh and Larkin Poe? Just enjoying some ambassadors x and TH-cam brought me here and hell yeah great band! Both my daughters are on the going to have a band someday side of life and I think these guys would be a great inspiration. The Lovell sisters. Good stuff. 💯
This is... This makes me sad. But I think, they won't let you go. They'll cover you in a warm blanket and carry you home anyway.
@@PK-hs7up yeah your proly right. And yeah I guess it is kind of sad isn't? LOLbut if I'm that far gone I don't think it'll matter to me anyway it'll just be sad for them and that's what I don't like. I guess that's the point of swimming into Oblivion. And then the actual underlying message is how much I care about them. So turn that frown upside down PK! 💪😎
Respect man!
I have said the same to my family. Wheel me to the steep riverbank. "The brakes on his wheelchair must have failed, officer".
I can't believe I am just seeing this for the first time. What a wonderful song and performance! I wrote a short story inspired by my grandpa's dementia too - I called it Once Upon a Mad Hatter's Day Off! I was thinking about how the Hatter behaved and the mercury poisoning side effects and what it must be like for him alone after the tea party...
Finally, a band that has a sound, a style, writes compelling songs and doesn't sound like a 1,000 other bands!
Getting harder to find these days
There are a lot of bands like that. You just won't ever find them mainstream.
if you want more of those unique bands, find The Last Embrace. Serotonine is their greatest song in my opinion.
@Kepler 186-F do I know you?
Wait til he hears them cover popular songs!!! 😆
My grandma has alzheimer, she doesn't even know her own name. My mom is starting to forget little things as well and I know this is how it beggins. Since the first time I heard this song it went straight to my bones and heart. I'm a psychologist and all I want to say is I want to give you my entire and enormous gratitude for talking about this.
Ditto, and my heart is with you. (Sister, mother, aunt, two great aunts, three cousins)

HAUNTING ISNT IT
This song is haunting. Lyrics like "I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine" and "just let me keep what's mine" go straight to my heart and echo in my head. Larkin Poe is phenomenal.
Yes thats the line that jumped out at me too.
So many of the lyrics hit home even on my 50th listen, knowing they are comign
Agreed, but strictly speaking, one-fourth of her blood is his.
Look up the history of mercury poisoning for hat makers- where the mad as a hatter saying came from. It ended during WW2 in the US, because all of the mercury was needed for war parts, switching to hydrogen peroxide instead.

Truth!
Definitely a heavy song but I’m guessing you dont listen To sad or heavy music ... this is a real and popular subject matter
Especially for those of us with loved ones afflicted. I have been watching a vibrant, intelligent relative diminished by dementia. Very sad,
Michael Stull and what can you conclude ? This must be a lesson of “recollection reflection” what will/do we remember and why and will we remember when we die ? The sadness belongs to those who see but where is the feeling of those who “be” losing it ......

I love these girls, as a 64 year old dealing with chronic health issues, any time I put them on, it's a better day.
As some one diagnosed with sz I find great comfort in this song. Yes we do need to talk about mental illness more openly in our society. Thanks so mu'ch for the great song ladies. Very moving to me. I"'m 61 now so I've experienced my share of challenges in my life relative to this sz diagnosis. Keep the great music coming. I"m a big fan. Love to see you guys in San Diego once the air clears in our world.
Amen! I also love the comparisons. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, and too many people associate the diagnosis with the scenes/character in Fatal Attraction. I seriously can't hurt God's creatures (nor humans, intentionally), yet people who don't know me (and even some who do) assume many negative characteristics about me because of the label. I feel many have more empathy/sympathy for addicts. Our society has come so far in so many respects...except as far as mental illnesses go. You'd think we chose this fate.

I wish our society made enough room for everyone instead of traumatising the most interesting personalities
This song is amazing, deep and beautiful. This is what music should be, spreading a message to people and trying to open people's minds to things out there.
I thank Larkin Poe for writing this song as it's more touching than I care to detail.
I'm a guy who has overcome his mental illness recently. At the age of 66 I've become a decent musician and I thank you for this song and message...It was a lifelong struggle beginning at the age of 14. I never gave up and many afflicted with mental illness thank you for this video...

I lost my father two years ago to Lewy Body dementia. It's so insidious. It doesn't take away the memories, like Alzheimers does. But it plunges those suffering from it into a world of confusion and spatial disorientation, all the while knowing that they slipping closer and closer to death. To be honest, I was grateful when he passed. And that's so hard to say. Thank you for this wonderful song.
There is nothing wrong with being thankful for a loved one's mercy.
Yes. I begged mother to let it go. It was not worth the struggle. Hard for her to accept. Strong lady raised 9 kids after divorced in 60s when not accepted as is today. I found a journal she'd been keeping of family events covering some 30 years, births, deaths, struggles some of us went through. So tragic to see her penmanship and expression struggle to come light in single sentence. Could see how long she was fighting to keep her capacities there. All the way down to just a hard to make out date to just a scratched line. Discovered the first day of her having to be in a care center. Couldn't stop reading and had to leave room. Completely broke down. No one in this world deserves to age in such matter. Peace be with all, all rest in peace.
Witnessed my grandfather, a ww2 vet, suffer for far too long with it. Honestly, found out how truly great the man was. Yea, there was the typical male sexual bs here and there, but mostly he was kind and loving. Just very confusing. He always asked to go home. He was, for most of the time, in his home that he built with his two hands. But, he wanted to go home. When he passed o felt a relief. He finally got to go home
Well Blow Me Down holy hell, 😔 Prayers for all
Good, Bad or Indifferent, the honest truth has sent you free.
The lyics are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! These 2 girls are geniuses in their own right.
"Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine"
Damn.
pbsjones That’s the one that stuck out for me too. Good words.
It's hard to draw a clear distinction when you are who you aren't...
AS 3 out of 4 of my grandparents died with dementia (the other died of lung cancer through smoking) this means something to me. 'Please don't come for me.'
pbsjones Excellent lyrics right?
Great line. Works for the song... Although actually, if accuracy matters, it's the other way around: one fourth of MY blood is HIS...
This song hits close to home. Not only do I have a mental illness, so did my son. On 2/13 this month, he took his own life. He had autism. High functioning. He had also been dealing with depression for a great deal of his life. He just turned 26, in November. He had been receiving mental health care, and was in the middle of coming up with a diagnosis. Possible bipolar. He also struggled with dementia, due to that mental illness. For the past few weeks he seemed to be doing better. On the morning of the 13th, he had a mental health follow up appointment. He'd gotten up, with me, as usual to go. I saw him twice. In his room and coming out of the bathroom. A few short minutes later, my husband and I heard a popping sound from the kitchen and the living room. We ran to Eric. Needless to say, he didn't make it. He'd always said he wouldn't make it to 40. And for many years, he hated life and has a death wish. Clearly, he just couldn't take anymore. Dealing with so many disabilities. I also believe he had PTSD. Again, he seemed to be doing better. Clearly, not. After he passed, we checked to see if he had been taking his mood stabilizer. He had not. But, he was taking Prozac. It's a known drug to cause suicidal thoughts. A lot of things contributed to why I believe he did what he did. He was just supremely unhappy, felt overwhelmed and incapable. We miss him terribly. But, I believe he's finally at peace, after so many years of struggling.
Oh my heart. I’m sending you prayers for peace and healing. I’m sure Eric loved you very much and you loved him. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry. How do you carry such sadness?
Your strength and courage are inspiring.
Lost my sister to suicide & wouldn't wish it on anyone.. Sending you love & peace.. He's watching over you until you meet again!❤🕊️
Prayers
My god the Lovell sisters never cease to amaze me. As someone with early onset Parkinson's, a father with Alzheimers, and a Bi-Polar mother this song came out of nowhere and hit me like truck full of bricks. These two get it. And this all beyond the fact that I think Larkin Poe is pound for pound the best band working right now.
They are in an elite class, that's for sure. its a shame that passionate music has to take a backseat to all the shiiiite in the world.
Randall, i hope your transition through life is smooth and full of song.
give reignwolf AKA (jordan cook), colter wall, shawn james, dead south, and greta van fleet a listen. music heals and helps the dark clouds soften just a bit.
This song instigated a long time interest in your talent. My grandfather was a paranoid schizophrenic, my father clinically depressed, his mother progressed into dementia before she passed, and my brother schizo-affective bipolar.
My older sister cannot physically carry children due to a health condition, my younger brother would be unlikely and on social security due to what was mentioned above. That left me, the middle daughter, as the one child who could produce blood-related grandchildren.
According to my dad, he went out into the field on our family property, and told God, who he has a strong faith in, that he didn’t want our genes to go on, that he did not want any biological grandchildren for the chance of struggle they could be born with. But, if he did have one, that he would know God had a plan for that child.
Two weeks later I told him I was pregnant. Unexpectedly, out of wedlock, and while I’m not religious in the way my parents are, my mother took this hard. My dad, however, took it better than I expected.
I’ll admit that a family history of mental illness has made me hyper vigilant of my son’s mental state as he has grown up, and that my dad has been a far more involved as a grandfather than he ever was as a father, but ‘please don’t come for me’ has been present as well as ‘please don’t come for him’ for both of us.
Way too many words to say this song is fantastic lyrically and musically, and it hit home for me and my family.
Brilliant. Thank you.
Hope your son is well & so are you..❤
Lyrics:
I know what time is, time is a thief
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep
You'll never feel it
It pulls off the covers, rifles through your head
Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said
Happens to everyone
Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine
I try not to worry
Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine
(let me keep what's mine)
Please don't come for me
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time
(let me have some time)
Please don't come for me (Please don't come for me)
Mind over matter
(it don't matter)
when you're as mad as a hatter
It's hard to draw a clear distinction
Who you are, who you were
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
No-one can blame you
Well they say the world is what you make it
You think, speak and breathe
And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe
Make the best with what you're given
Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine
(let me keep what's mine)
Please don't come for me
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time
(let me have some time)
Please don't come for me
Mind over matter
(don't matter)
when you're as mad as a hatter

Amazing musical talent.
thank you....
thank you.
I did 2 years of home hospice with my great uncle, watching him slip away a day at a time. He was still in there, right to the end, but he understood less and less. I loved him so much. He's been gone 10 years, but this song has me messy crying. I still miss him.
I'm in love with this song and this version of it, the instrumentals are so good and the vocals just amazing! Love wen she stops playing the mandolin and goes of to her own little world and unleashes those killer vocals gives me goose bumps every time. This has been a must on my play list for years now absolutely brilliant these girls
When I was younger and went through tough times I used to tell myself, "Whatever else I lose, whatever they can take from me I'll always have what's in my mind and my heart." Then I took care of my father as Alzheimer's took him slowly, unraveling like a scarf until there was nothing left but fear and anger, mostly directed at the people who'd been closest to him. Now, all that's left of him is our memories of him. I try to hang on to the good memories but the bad ones were so horrible it's tough. The scariest thing anyone can say to me is ,"You're just like your dad." They mean it as a compliment but it feels more like a curse and it makes my heart skid to a stop.
Brought a tear to my eye man.
❤️
Make every Moment count
My mom ... My dad ... Pain, poverty, loss of house, dignity, hospitals, odour, love and filling guilty ... Nothing special, absolute horror ... Hugs.
Bless you. Love and strength
Such a powerfully intent song performed with true connection to the heart. 🙏❤️✨️
Better and a better every time I watch.
This is one of my favorite songs. So haunting and beautiful.
Beautiful ladies. It's been my honor to have cared for the elderly, the demented and insane for almost 40 years as a nurse and your song did every one of them empathetic justice. If I were still teaching CNAs I'd want to use the lyrics to open a window so they could really see. Thank you.
Suzanne McNeal thank you for your service
Suzanne, listen to twenty one pilots, the singer/ songwriter, composer sings about this and connects with fans globally, helping so many kids to stay alive l-/
nine twenty one pilots is one of my partners favorites. He positively adores them! I very much feel Heathens is in that vein.
In the early 70's we were all tripping on acid when literally my brother just broke down. It was the first of what was to become full blown schizophrenia. He died 10yrs ago, in his 50s broken and exhausted by this hideous disease.
I broke down listening to this .The part where she expressed concern for her own mind. RIP Ray I pray the Lord has granted you peace of mind.
I am so sorry to read what you share but I thank you so much for doing so. I am truly a heartfelt listener to your story❤🙏
David Klein I’m so sorry for your loss.
Sorry for the lost.
LSD has the power to let the demon named schizophrenia inside the mind. The 60s ruined so much innocence for the next generations to come.
Runs in my family
So sorry for your loss.
This song is haunting - simply gorgeous! And this is my favourite rendition of it. I can't wait to see you ladies again in July, at Guitares en Scène!!
The musical range of these young ladies is stunning. They inspire me to pick up my guitar. I see a stellar career in the making.
They've honored not just those that suffered through these issues, but the families and friends as caregivers for them. I have and feel for them all.
❤❤❤❤ TH-cam idk why you recommended this but man this made me weep (my mom has dementia and barely remembers everyday who she is)
I have schizophrenia and this song pulls on the heart strings like nothing else still to this day. Much love everyone
You girls brought tears to my eyes with this.......that's all I can say right now.
Nice to be able to talk get it out of your system and try to be positive I know it's not easy I suffer myself
This song is truly therapy. My grandmother fell deep into mental illness. It hurt to see her suffer, we all suffered together as a small family. Love the ones I have left. Thankful for what she taught me, the good memories ♥ 💔 ♥
Beautiful. 2018 and here's living proof that the next generation can still carry the torch of music that matters.
Great comment. Having come of age with the great music of the 70s, I kinda worry about today's music. This song was refreshing. Love it.
Check out Cherry Suede and Stewart Mac. Great artists and amazing music.
Here's 2019 Proof that Mental illness deserves to be spoken equally as loudly as physical illness ... also rly good sooong
There are great bands in younger generations, the problem is that they aren't recognized by the public and slowly fade away. The real issue here are the radios and ignorance
I really liked what you had to say. I agree. I just happened to come across them and really like them. The venue is beautiful.
I actually already got a tattoo that says Mind Over Matter.
This song being such a new and important meaning of it to me.
My partner is suffering from mental illness with psychosis among other health issues which has led to separation and sadness... Thank you for this incredible masterpiece. 🎶✨♥️
This is the most beautiful and purest song I ever heard. I allways burst into tears while hearing that. Honestly a Masterpiece!
I'm so blown away by this song. Fortunately I can't relate to this illness,but your voices and music just cut through my soul like a burning torch. Got goosebumps and teary-eyed from this song. Brilliant!!!!
I love this song! I was diagnosed with sz about 35 years ago and it's so refreshing to see a band on the edge of greatness be so open about mental illness. I salute Larkin Poe and praly for your mom and Grandpa!
Love this song, will search for more. Bravo...
So the last few days I've been watching these two young ladies absolutely slaying some classic covers , their musicianship and great harmonies prove real talent. Now to see them really stretch out with their own songs, wow, amazing!
I do not understand how they are not on top of the world. You can not get better then these girls. Period!!!
Then put them to the top, depends on us!!!!!!!❤
True Artists Don't sell out to the System, they know what's worth so much more than Record Steals.
The underground music world is as big or bigger than mainstream and its usually better.Being in the shadows does not always mean hidden from everyone.
This gets better every time I watch it. This is the best song I've heard in a long, long time. Speechless. In awe.
I've been watching this on average about once a day for about a week and a half at this point. In that time I've noticed the views seem to be ticking up at about 15,000 a day.
My mom passed in 2001 dementia thanks for the song , truly .
I must have seen this now about 30 times, brings me to tears and still keep coming back. An absolute Masterpiece !
I'm 63 and have schizoaffective disorder. I spent 10 years homeless, I live alone now, and now my heart is failing. What a wonderful thing to be memorialized by your grandchildren.
@WarnerElliot You keep strong
water sun and nature do your bestest and smile
IKNOW ITS RUFF N TUFF AND @ TIMES STUCK IS THE SITUATION DO YOUR BEST TO STAY POSITIVE LOVE LIGHT N LOVE 💫💚💫
Bless you. I am 29. I have schizo affective as well. Hello.
Saw my father lose himself physically and mentally from Parkinson's. Dementia and delusions, plus shaking and weak. My brilliant strong father... slowly disappearing... till he was gone. I still remember kissing him that last time when he didn't even recognize me anymore to say goodbye. Song brought tears.
@WookDizz18 much love to you 💐💐💐
Going through the same thing now with my Father in Law who was a Dad to me when mine didn't want anything to do with me. Not gonna be a good day when he passes, for any of us.
So this has been around for at least years and it’s only just reached my ears. Better late than never, springs to mind. Brilliant song and performance.
I have lost count of how many times I've watched this. Absolutely floored...aside from the fact that the lyrics and arrangement are phenomenal, when Rebecca starts at 5:15 I sat there like a total muppet with my eyes wide and jaw on the desk in absolute awe. That voice. Just...wow. And Megan on the steel and harmony, completely spellbound. Love everything about this. Everything. Larkin Poe are my new favourites. Excuse me while I go and devour every bit of content on them I can find.
I think the location is fitting for the song too, and I am sad that, AFAIK the performance venue is lost, and in fact was already closed before I even discovered it existed. I would have loved to have been at this show, and to see other performers there; it is only about 15 miles from where my mother lives.
The slide playing in this is stunning. What a song.
Crikey these women are amazing! Powerful song! Can’t stop replaying it. Addictive, stunning, entrancing! These ladies are ‘SPECIAL’. Holy GOD, this is heaven speaking!
Yikes, that is close to perfection. Difficult family tribute, lyrics of love and understanding, musical and vocal harmonies both simple and complex, beautiful blend of instruments, tight live stage performance. Chills.
I know what time is, Time is a thief.
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep.
You'll never feel it.
It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head.
Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said...
It happens to everyone...
Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
and I can't forget that one fourth of his blood is mine
I try not to worry...

PLEASE don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine.
Please don't come for me,
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time.
Please don't come for me.
Mind over matter when you're as mad as a hatter...

It's hard to draw a clear distinction
When you are who you are.
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
though I keep playing
Well they say the world is what you make it
you think, speak and breathe.
and those rules solidify, stuck in a world of make believe.
You make the best of what you are given....
~~~
Off with the head, off with the head...
paint the roses, paint the roses...
Please...
Charles E. Darko thank you I was searching the lyrics everywhere xD
Isn't it "I promise I'll be grey"
Charles E. Darko Thank you. :)
I'm man enough to admit it that I let a couple tears fall while reading the lyrics....it make me nervous how I can relate to them at 27.
WCharles E. Darko
I am not easily impressed, but I am in awe of these two young ladies.
The Marlboroughs What about the other pieces that make the whole entirety? No Percussion or Bass?
huh. I’m sure that it would still be awesome but man .......... Or not
Keep taking them blue pills
The Marlboroughs same
yeah we all came for the bass 😑
@@say1067 What are you on about? The drummer sells it, nothing else.
When TH-cam surprises you with good recommendations.
exactly
Yes
They are awesome
True story my man
SIM
Goosebumps. Beautiful song beyond words.
That's pretty legit right there. As always the weightiest music in our society lives on the outskirts when it should be in the spotlight.
I can understand where they're coming from, being slightly schizophrenic myself. I also like the slight Pink Floyd vibe.
That's because society is a fabrication of a false reality that most people fall in line with because it's much easier to cope when you aren't the only one living a lie.
Nicholas Brewer yeah, you said it.
One thousand times true
MechanicalAnimal sooo true!
I've watched this about a dozen times in the last 10 hours and have consumed everything else I can find from them. Awesome band but powerful lyrics. And who doesn't like a weeping guitar haunting an excellent heart gripping floating riff?! Great composition. Instant fan.
They are thoroughly amazing. But 3 days? Absolutely impossible that you've heard everything yet. Lol! They must have at least 500 various videos on TH-cam. I first heard them (this video, I think) about 2 years ago, and still every once in a while a video pops up that I hadn't seen before. And then there's the early Lovell sisters stuff when they were teens.
As a new fan, I invite you to join the Larkin Poets fan page on Facebook. Lots of super cool hard-core fans. Very active posting of videos and tweets and such. Welcome to the strange trip down the Larkin Poe rabbit hole...
Through my random searches on youtube, I happened upon this song by chance about a year ago and instantly fell in love with your music.
This song in specific touches my heart and soul. My grandfather was diagnosed with elzheimer's a few years back, and comes and goes.I may speak with him over the phone and all is good,and the very next day I call and he has no idea who I am. It hurts deeply to see anyone go through this,and I hate seeing him this way.
Your song expresses the same feeling I have perfectly, and I love you guys for that.
Life is strange sometimes. I had never heard of this group, yet today - just 2 days after a funeral for my elderly aunt, who had dementia - this pops up on my you tube feed. Must listen again.
This song really gets to me. My mother has paranoid schizophrenia and some days are worse than others. I always had this subconcious fear of being also predisposed after my mom found out that her Grandfather she's never met also suffered from schizophrenia. Everytime she tells me about the things she's experiencing it sounds to me like there's a war going on inside her head. She tries to fight against something(manifests often as an omnipresent voice) that tells her that she is not loved and that she has no place here.
So let me leave this here:
You are loved! You belong! Let people be there for you
please look into everything on "the hearing voices movement" it could change your life and help you prevent the worst in the long-term. it's free, so that's probably why you don't know about it. I also recommend Madinamerica or madintheuk.
Heard this about 6 years ago. And come back to it when I want to reminisce and bring myself back to reality. And calm down. Beautiful vocals and song in general.
This is the song that really got loving this band. These ladies are so very talented I also put them into my spotify feed and I'm loving every minute of listening to them. They also lead me to other great bands and artists in this genre.
This song is so AWESOME... love it and can't hear it enough. Thank you...
I've listened to this song many times, and I still get chills. It should become the anthem for mental health. Thanks for creating this amazing masterpiece!
I am so moved. This is hauntingly beautiful. You girls should be proud of yourselves. You two are my new favorite.
One of the best arrangements that Ive heard in years.
How...how is this my first time hearing this??? No matter - I'm hearing it right when I'm meant to. Started losing my mind at 11. Diagnosed severely obsessive compulsive w/ anxiety and depression by 17. Heavily mediated and in therapy until a NDE and identity crisis at 25. Just turned 31 and I finally surrendered it for good...no more "mental illness" and no more suffering. After 6 years of dark nights I'm giving up thinking for good. Living in the heart of Presence, Now, on purpose. As Eckhart Tolle says, "nothing real is threatened, nothing unreal exists, herein lies the peace of God." There are no people...only presence. What wonderful presence this music brings. Blessed Be
