I remember when this song came out. My mom was sick with cancer. I cried listening to it wishing there was something I could do for her. Seeing her in so much pain and knowing I couldn't take it away. It's four years later and she is gone.. I still wish I could take her pain away
Jordan Cantafio Jordan, Your not alone man. Went through the same horrible thing. I bet what you wished came true every moment you were with her. You were there for her. And I know you saw that in her eyes. Peace brother, I hope this is a consolation to you.
My mother passed a year ago November. This song always felt like a tune written to her. My mother suffered from extreme depression and she was an alcoholic. I don't ever remember her being happy but sometimes she got through the crisis. The bridge where it says, "...if she find daylight, then she'll be alright, she'll be alright, just not tonight." This was my mom, countless times. She never found her way very often. We never were close, after I grew up. But I never stopped loving her. I wish she had loved me. I wish I didn't miss her.
I love Rob Thomas.. and this song means sooo much. My mum recently passed away from cancer, I loved her dearly and I took care of her thru all that awful Cancer treatment.. this song would play, and bring tears to my eyes.. Today, every time I hear this song, it reminds me of her..
I would listen to this song constantly when my mom was sick with cancer.. It helped me get so much out that i held inside. She passed from the disease but without a lot of these songs I don't think I would have survived losing her
This song perfectly sums up what it's like to truly care about someone who suffers from depression...or to be someone who suffers from depression and have someone who cares for you. The second verse of this song makes me cry every single time I hear it.
I’m living with a chronic kidney disease that is both painful and debilitating. This song has saved my soul from some dark places. I recently dedicated it to my 24 year old daughter who is going through it.
I have Lupus as well so as you can imagine this song is special to me. Lupus effects my heart, brain, skin,joints and muscles. The pain is sometimes unbearable and the fatigue is debilitating. My lupus does not just effect me but it effects my family as well. There are times that I am unable to take care of my children the way I would like to. My husband has to do everything sometimes,go to work, come home to cook , clean and take care of the kids and me. This is a very hard disease to deal with
Being a survivor of rape and domestic violence, I posted this on my FB page. I had so many people reach out! This song makes me feel safe trough the insomnia, no sleep, nights! I've been listening to them...hell...seems like forever! Thank you!
I am a survivor too. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit for..just know that. We survived it ALL. The worst things we've ever felt..we are still here. We won.
such a beautiful song ty Rob for writing this sweet song and raising awareness for lupus Rob wrote this for his wife who has lupus......i have fibromyaliga, so i can relate
Lost my sister to a drug overdose a couple years ago. She was my best friend and sometimes it feels like this song was written specifically for her. Thanks MB20 for all the memories.
Being sick, being in constant pain from chronic illnesses takes a toll on the mind and body. To find someone who loves you and doesn't look at you like you're damaged goods is really difficult. You feel like a burden, like you aren't a real partner in the relationship and you have to be grateful for whatever little the person is willing to do for you. Being alone when you're in a relationship is so much more lonely than being without anyone at all. Finding your value, I think, is the first step to letting go of someone who isn't good for you. It took me years to see that I am not my career, that being childless doesn't make me worthless. And I deserve to be loved just as fully as I love and not one iota less. Being chronically ill doesn't make me unlovable.
Yes, that’s what I love about his music. Besides his voice. He tells a story and it just brings you in. Even if you’re not going through what he might be going through or anyone else on the page. You cannot or I cannot help it to empathize, sometimes sympathize. But good at putting myself in someone else’s position exploring.
This is a beautiful song. It brought me to tears. Invisible Chronic pain is so hard to handle. Especially when others don't believe believe you! I have several migraines a week and I was diagnosed with Lupus in July'09. So I think I know how his wife is feeling. I also have the most wonderful & caring husband & son. Thank you for this song.
My mom had chronic illnesses and bipolar disorder.. I had to raise myself and little brother, take care if the house, etc.. Whenever I get mad about it, I always come back to this song...
I have lupus and yes this is the easiest fight we face it every day, thank God my husband is standing beside me and My two kids are spreading happiness and joys around me.. because of lupus I lost my hip joint, my knees, and now my kidney Yes I have lupus, but lupus doesn't have me So I decided to leave my country, came to USA to study master and pHD in autoimmune diseases to face and understand the mystery of lupus I believe that I can do something to help lupus patients through science and from inside the medical laboratories
every thing happens for a good reason but we don't know what waiting for us in future. as Allah said in the Qur'an ( perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And God Knows, while you do not know).
Been there 100 percent God she will always be my true wife 45 great year woman of my world 💔🌹💔🌹😥 ĹOVE YOU FOREVER 🌹JUDY🌹 RIP LUPUS hurts SO MUCH 💔🌹 she was 60 me 64 so hard 67 now 😢 miss you for ever my LOVE 💔🌹
great song rob love what its about. i geuss not many people know his wife has lupus.. i just had a friend diagnosed with it.not a good thing to have.love you rob
I'm not sure why the song was written, But I can relate it to my messed up chaos life. I Listen to it when I am driving to my next part time home. After losing my brother, getting divorced, losing my home.... I'll be alright, just not tonight is perfect for me. Some people are entertainers and some are artists. Rob Thomas is an artist.
Steve was a amazing singer he will be sadly missed by Chisel not only for he's drumming but he's input into the band God bless you Steve and the family and Chisel who will mis him more than anyone
I was going through what I call my FU&k IT period of my life and this came out and it somehow got me through it. This song touched my soul and made me feel human again cause I was so close to cashing in the big one! I will always remember that and has a place in my heart 💜 Don’t ever stop singing Rob and I will always listen?!
seriously.....this song has one of the most relate-able lyrics EVER!! it's SOO AWESOMELY written! i felt like it was written for me wen i first herd this song!
I seen Rob and Matt perform a snipet of this song on the Rachel Ray show yesterday. He wrote this song for his wife. She has a disease that's not treatable and he wrote this to show his empathy and sympathy for her situation. Poor woman. Glad she has a great man like Rob in her life to help her along and support her.
i have a friend who learned to play on his father's guitar which was for a right hander, and his left handed, it did'nt stop him. he flipped it over for his left handed playing, upside down strings and all and now it's the only way he could play ....and man he can play.
Story of my life. Someone I love so much have suddenly developed lupus. It's killing me every time I see her in pain. I wish I can help her and just take her pain away but I can't. Fuck this fucking miserable life. This song somehow make me feel better and hopeful. Thanks Rob Thomas
Antonio Montana Just be there to listen to them. You can't solve the problem & we know that. We just want someone to listen & hold us as we face the Fear of a life of unimaginable pain. Your loving comment tells me your loved one is a very lucky person to have someone who cares so much. #15yearlupusurviver
I suffered through the first of the two greatest loses of my life. First, My mom and we were so close and while living in the Twilight Zone, my bff/cuz 3 years apart almost same day. I heard this song the first time the other day because “ one less day” is my new favorite song. I played for my husband. This song is me and my mom and my cuz. The only difference is I am a survivor of their suicides and lived to discover how amazing Rob Thomas is. There is another song he sings regarding his wife and he tells his story at a show and in Atlantic City. Sort of like this a bit.. can so tell me name? I do not want to drive my husband crazy going through 100 songs looking for this one
Rob last time you were home i told you this video was the most powerful you ever made......and still to this day i mean it, proud to see what you have become !!
Hank: I completely agree. It's really subtle -- almost as though he treating those notes as pickup notes into the next measure -- but it adds a great textured quality that I was trying to initially trying to put my finger on. Someone obviously disagrees with us, but so be it!
@moonica666 It was great. Aug 15th of this year. Outside venue at the Redrock Casino. Started about 8pm. He sang the best of his and Matchbox 20's music.

+vicarious8989 sorry to here that. My condolences to you and your family.
Jordan, so sorry for your loss. I can tell you as someone who suffers from an autoimmune disease, and is in pain daily, this song sure hits home.
Jordan Cantafio
Sorry brother
This was written about Mari’s autoimmune disease. I have Lupus, and the lyrics are spot-on!! Thank you Rob! 👍🏼

His stories he told behind the songs he writes was sa, humorous etc. He is very deep and genuine. Loved his concert

I saw him do this in concert in Vegas. Absolutely GREAT!
Rob Thomas is a very good singer, and this is 1 of my favorite songs ever

Hank: I completely agree. It's really subtle -- almost as though he treating those notes as pickup notes into the next measure -- but it adds a great textured quality that I was trying to initially trying to put my finger on. Someone obviously disagrees with us, but so be it!
