I don’t think people really understand reaching this point when you’re in a dark place and not having the strength to pull yourself out of it anymore or even pretend to be okay. It’s mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually draining. You just can’t do it. I’m so proud of her for releasing this. It takes a lot to tell your story when the world has heard it and seen it through judgmental eyes. So glad she made it through 💚💚💚.
wendy solivan she’s still here and I consider that as “making it”. She made it through whatever darkness she was in. She’s in a lesser darkness now, one that may be easier to bear. Never said she wasn’t still fighting as depression and the things that come with it are battles that are fought on a daily basis. I’m simply proud that she’s made it this far.
I can kinda relate to that tbh. I have been insecure with body image, anxious of my future etc. It's been something I struggle which can be emotionally draining
The fact that she wrote and recorded that in front of people and STILL no one thought "i should help her" makes me so mad shes right no one listens it took her almost DYING for people to say "oh shit she needs help" everyone struggles and everyone needs people to lean on i just wish us fans could do more i knew she needed help when sober came out but all i could do was hope someone else would see it its a shame no one did im so glad shes ok and alive
Jen S I 100% agree with you. I feel so stupid to listen to sober and not to be thinking maybe she needs help I just thought it was about her past struggle and how she is coping with it. Now listening back to it I just see how blind I was to it, and it kills me that most people didn't see it either.
She wrote it days before her OD. She prayed in recovery that if she got better, she would finish and record it. I'd guess no one saw the lyrics before the OD.
I agree. She's just SCREAMING for help. I also didn't hear sober until the OD so yeah. I would definitely help if I was in her inner circle. I would've given her that help she needed if I was close to her and just knew. Now that I look back, I feel so stupid.
Mysterious_Lovatic Friendship is hard work, it’s ongoing and not a one dimensional. You will know many people in your life, but you will be able to count your true friends on one hand. In her case, she’s surrounded by hangerson, grifters, wants be’s leeches, that aren’t her friend they are there for a paycheck, and that’s it. True loyal friends aren’t just fair weather, they are there for the good times and bad, you can confide in the them and they won’t go blabbing it to your circle of friends. I’ve had the good fortune to have friends like that, maybe being from Alaska is conducive those kinds of deep friendships. I had a friend that became a heroin addict, while others stood by and talked about what a mess he was, but made no effort to talk to him, his so called friends found it easier to just distance themselves from him. Those aren’t friends. People throw the word friend around to describe someone they’ve known for a month, people who know me. I’ve known for 25-30 years, know that I’ve never used that word to describe someone that I don’t consider a friend per se’ someone I know but don’t know anything about them, coworkers fall in that category.
There’s a lot of people who feel just like Demi does in this song! There’s so much suffering and pain happening in this world and any one who’s struggling right now or has struggled in the past, this song hits home for them, it touches their soul! Demi did an incredible job with this song not only capturing her own painful moments but also giving comfort to others who are going through the same darkness! We hear you!
I don't suffer from addiction but my health both medical & mental, have me feeling this way. Yes ppl are around but they hear what they want to hear not what I need them to hear. This song somehow makes me feel heard as if they are singing my feelings too. Thank you Demi. You have helped many ppl with the sharing of your soul 💜💚
I agree. I'm one of those people and desperate at this very moment for someone to love me. Idc who, anyone would be better than no one. I am also a addict trying my best to succeed at recovering one more time b4 I die.
I fell like everything she does is so underrated. She has and incredible voice and still doesn't get the recognition she deserves. I am mad. She's been feeling so lonely and still nobodys listening to her. I love you, Demi.
Imagine admitting to the whole world about your addiction, then getting crucified for it just to comeback and belt out a song like this... Demi Lovato, you’re a warrior.
‘Sober’ was the biggest warning sign we missed and ‘Anyone’ was the warning sign her team missed - she wrote and recorded ‘anyone’ 4 days before the overdose, how no one thought to see if she was okay is awful. You can hear the pain, anger, frustration, the “im done” in her voice. Sad to think this would of been the last song she wrote and recorded for the world, speaks volumes. It was released when she was doing better and performed it first at the Grammys
Anyone is the scream for help that everyone's ignored, Dancing With the Devil is during the chaos of her fighting for her life and ICU is the aftermath of her surviving.
Where do you get off presuming that "no one 'thought to see if she was ok"? You don't know what her family or her friends did or didn't do in the days leading up to her overdose. Someone who suffers from addiction and/or mental illness can't be saved or helped in any way unless and until they are ready and wiling to save/help themselves. Demi has said herself, that her family and friends DID try to help her. You have no idea how much her suffering caused her loved ones to suffer and people like you, moralizing from your social media soap box are just callous, demeaning, pretentious and cruel. I hope you never have to experience this kind of heart ache and tragedy first hand, but I do hope you come to realize just how 'awful' your comment really is.
I feel her pain. I feel like everyone has had a moment in their life that made them feel this low. Yet, never forget Demi that there are thousands of people here for you. I’ve never met you but I will always be here. I grew up watching you and admiring your journey. You’ve come so far. I’m so happy you’re here. I’m so happy that you’re here and that you’re able to spread such an important message.
The same girl. Watching her journey from the start, i am here in good and bad times. My journey is so closer to her. I find myself in every her song, in every her words and notes. 🙊 Demi is and always will be queen of the world. 💞 She saved so many lifes, and now she have to save her own life. (ans we should help her) 🙏💞
There's no one like Demi. She's a warrior, she admitted her drug addiction and then she came back with this amazing gem. It's no more about charts, it's about stories and her story is absolutely my favourite one.
She’s so incredibly strong and brave. She’s human, she went back to the dark place and burned. But she raised from the ashes and now she’s flying higher than ever
So what exactly is she trying to say when she says"nobodys listening to me" she knows how to talk to her friends and family why she trying to act like a victim.
@@CannibalMan09 It's not that easy. Sometimes you talk to your friends and family but they can't understand, because thay never whenthrough it. Maybe you don't understand her words because, probably, you also didn't went through this. And I'm glad you didn't. I don't wish these moments to anyone... Sometimes, when you are in your lowest moments, it's like your screaming inside, but you just can't do anything on the outside. You can even go to your friends and family and try to explain how you feel, but they won't understand, and it's not their fault. Actually, it's not anyone's fault. No one has to understand what's on your mind when you are so deep into a depression... And because your friends and family don't understand, they will try to reach you, they will try to understand in their own way. I had my father say that I was just sad, because he couldn't understand how it was possible that is own daughter could reach that depressed level. People don't know what it's like, so they'll compare to the most similar thing that they know. And try to advise you the way they would advise someone in the situation that THEY KNOW. And you know those advices don't fit you, because what you're feeling is so much deeper. And you continue to explain, or trying to, but you can see in their faces that they cannot reach your feelings, neither do your thoughts, and you start to get desperate. Because everything you're trying to explain stays with you, it's like a wall between you and them. A person who has not pass through this won't understand. I had to start with some medicine to be able to hold on. Now I'm free of it, but listening to this song, I know exactly how she feels. Because I've been there. I know what it's like when you're facing your mum, or your sister, or even your boyfriend, and you know that they are trying to help you, they are trying to show you that the world isn't that bad as you see it, but you're so dark inside that you can't see any light outside. And you start feeling that people around you are tired of you. Because whenever you try to explain, and they don't understand, you're repeating youself over and over, hoping that at any moment they will tisten, but REALLY LISTEN, and understand everything you've been through. But that moment won't arrive, and you go to ber every night, cry and cry, praying for someone you don't even believe exists anymore. And you just ask for someone, anyone, that comes to your live, understands you and tells you all the recipe that you should follow in order to get out of that darkness. Eventually, that person is yourself. Eventually, after all you've been through, you are stronger, and you start to be so afraid to lose everything around you, that you start to act. Until you reach this moment, where you decide to do something, you will go deeper and deeper. Your friends and family are everything that you have, despite them not understanding you, it's important that they'll be there. That they don't judge you, that they don't minimize your feelings and your thoughts. It's important that they show you that they will be there for you, even when you are crying and an't say any word, even when you are locked in your room trying to deal with your demons. So, Demi knows that their family and friends are there for her. But she also knows that's not the solution. They're just holding on, until, eventually, one day she can deal with something and look for someone who will really help her with her problem. I hope she can deal with it. I know what its like wanting to disappear from this world cause you can't find any light around you. I think you have to try to convince yourself everyday that it still exists one litle bit piece of hope that you will get through that. When you really believe in that, magic happens.
@@Xaniinhah96 thank you so much for this. As someone who is currently trying dig my way out, I can't even begin to explain how much this meant to me. I've never read anything that gave me so much inspiration and hope when I've been dying inside for even a glimpse of something to keep me going. You are truly an angel sent from heaven and I'm so thankful that you made it out and are able to share your experience. I've been up all night after a horrible lucid dream and your random comment left me in tears and just might be the push I needed.
I don't understand how the people listening to her record this didn't think this was a cry for help. You can hear the pain and emotion in her voice and she is obviously feeling alone.
Because they all care about her money, not about her as a person:( Unfurtunately, once these singers sell their souls, the Illuminatis control their lives, they become products, not people. I wouldn't be surprised if her overdosing/going to rehab was just a cover-up for the Illuminatis trying to control her and her wanting to get out of that sick environment. Think about how many stars have similar stories : drugs, alcohol, mental and physical abuse, going to "rehab" etc. The going to rehab/psych ward cover-up is often used when they want to break free but they can't so the Illuminatis do everything to stop them by mind-programming them and when it doesn't work these stars are outcasted/chastised, made out to be some psycho addicts etc. Look how quick the Illuminati can ruin your reputation, once youre a King of Pop like Michael Jackson and the next day when you try to enlighten the world about the Illuminatis - you become the most vicious "pedophile" or you suddenly die like 2Pac or Kurt Cobain.
I started to cry when she sang this. And I can feel the pain in her voice and get it. They said she wrote this 4 days before her overdose. Im glad she's still alive because this song almost leads up to how/ why she may have overdosed
The lyrics hit me straight to the heart. I can hear her pain while singing. It's just so sad that we're living in a world where people are more interested in judging you rather than listening. This is the very first song that made me cry real tears of pain.
Hearing this song for the first time!! It's absolutely heartbreaking... anyone suffering from Depression or substance abuse, understands this song and how she is feeling. It's also beautifully sung. You don't have to even see Demi, to know what she is feeling. Love you Demi❤️😔
I just watched Demi sing this at the Grammys.. and when she teared up I just wanted to give her a hug. She is such a beautiful singer, so powerful. I hope that she finds someone to fill in that gap of emptiness. Demi, how can us Lovatics help? We are here for you and love you!❤️
I know. Shes the most strongest person ever, when my mom told me that she wrote this song 4 days before she overdosed on drugs, made me very sad. Shes a very strong person, and nothing is stopping her. And shes screaming for help, it just makes me wanna hug her shes such a strong person. (yes if u didnt know she overdosed on drugs last summer, and she wrote this song 4 days before.
Poter lover what the hell do you know? Everyone is different with or without money... My husband had a friend who commited suicide, we never imagined he will do it cause he never show negativity, he always makes jokes, very kind person, a loving father, a good friends, he would always bring food for everyone, he was good nurse to his patients. He never showed he was depressed or saying any suicidal thoughts he was in doing rehab and taking medication cause he want's to get better... my husband and him was planning something the last time they talk before he shot and killed him self my husband text him that tgeir plan to go somewhere was a GO he replied "K" so my husband didn't anything was wrong but all of that sudden the nxt day he got a txt from another co-worker that he was found dead on his travel trailer shot himself in the head... its the worst thing in the world... suicide, depression no one can never understand... if to dont have sympathy just shut your mouth and keep it to yourself, hopefully it doesn't happen to you or any of your family...
I am an old man. Ms Lovato is not my usual type of artist, but oh my goodness! This song hits me hard. So intense and so close to me. Thank you for expressing the feelings of so many folks out here...
You know. I'm a senior male in my 70s, a widower x2 (the last 3:55 only months ago) and today is the first time I have heard this song being a classic rock guy. It is such a beautiful song with its desperate and sincere reaching out for help. Good for Miss Devato that she had the courage to reach out and put her words of 3:55 need to music, sharing with her audience. Your a survivor, Ma'am.
She only recorded it once and with one take. She left it completely unedited because she knew that emotion couldn’t be recaptured. She has always been a perfectionist when it comes to recording songs, so it was a step outside of her comfort zone to not go back and fix anything. But i’m so glad she left it raw and pure.
She doesn't just struggle with addictions, she also struggles with her bipolar disorder which is devastating. I'm not the biggest fan but I have so much respect for her as a person. She's honestly one of the most strongest, bravest people I’ve ever seen.
Singer Beth Hart has the worst version of bi-polar disorder and had a drug addiction and she says she feels like an airplane crash survivor everytime one of her peers dies from suicide or drug addiction.
@@kira2646 u can't control ur emotions. Sometimes u are incredibly happy and sometimes u want to kill yourself. It's like depression changing in one moment to being happy and then again to be depressed. I hope you understand, sorry for my english:)
I relate to her 💯 the words to every single song speak to my soul!! I am the same female in a different body! I would like to just hang out with her 1 day just to reflect on our father and how far he has brought us! Thank you Jesus, for keeping us under your wing! Demi keep fighting! Giving up is Never an option for us Sis! ❤️you and I’m always praying for you! I’m listening!
This song is so powerful anyone who’s been through depression and anxiety can easily resonate with this. The feeling of being alone regardless of whether your physically surrounded by people. The internal and mental feeling of having no one; being a prisoner in your own mind and body. Demi truly captured that feeling through this song, this is a cry for help in her darkest moment. Trying to heal herself through self medication, we’ve all been there. Demi is so inspiring and powerful even when she’s down. It’s so raw and authentic! We love you Demi and we will be your anyone’s, thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us.
Your comment is so powerful and accurate Demi Lovato is so inspiring and powerful mental illness isn't something you can shake and make go away especially if it's genetically she's a reminder that no matter what you go through you are not the only one that feel alone
i've been bullied from elementary school until high school, being bullied everyday is normal to me 😔 my dad said man don't show emotion. im so depressed. i can't talk to anyone. this lyrics so deep for me.
I feel what you’re feeling Demi. Fighting depression, Bipolar, chronic pain, so much. This song is how my heart and mind feels right now. I always wonder if anyone is listening to us.
God bless you, he cares and there are people who care. It's not easy but if you stay strong you can be that person who listens to and cares for others!
she sang skyscraper at her peak of her eating disorder that’s why her voice was different, wrote sober during her relapse, sang this four days before she overdose. She’s so raw and open despite everyone making fun of her addictions. I’m so proud of her
I can attest to the fact that a person's voice sounds different when they're high, especially on opiates. I've been clean and sober since 2011. I'm so proud of Demi for always staying true to herself. It can't be easy for her to be in the spotlight with her addiction. It must be exceedingly difficult for all of these celebrities to think they need to be ON all the time when they are merely human, just like us. Oh, how I wish society would simply treat them like the regular people they are, with flaws and raw emotions, and not hold them to such high standards or put them on such towering pedestals. If only we lived in such a world...
This song is the scream of Demi Lovato's heart expressed through a song, so that the world knows that she is experiencing a big problem that has befallen her life, and hopes that God will send someone to help her through difficult times in her life. This song truly represents all human feelings when they are at their lowest point, and they feel they don't choose hope anymore to rise from adversity. This song is very pleasant to hear and makes anyone feel extraordinary emotional. 👍👍👍👍👍
*”I feel stupid when I sing. Nobody's listening to me. Nobody's listening. I talked to shooting stars, but they always get it wrong. I feel stupid when I pray. So, why am I praying anyway? If nobody's listening”* Damn, it’s so sad to know how alone she felt in that moment. I just want to hug her.
Demi: “I NEED ANYONE, I NEED SOMEONE ” We are here for you Demi💯💙You are not stupid when you sing because you are singing out your pain, struggles and accomplishments💯💯We love you for you 🥺❤️
This is how today's depressing world is. We got so many sources of communication, but still no one is listening anyone. Money, fame, social media accounts can't bring us happiness. We run after need, but forget what we actually need. Love you, Demi. You expressed this emotion so beautifully. ❤
Beautifully stated. This is a powerful lesson to all of us to be present, caring, and compassionate to everyone. Aside from our social disconnection, we're also so consumed with vapid nonsense. You never know what someone is going through until you ask and actually listen. Having a real conversation about LIFE is so fulfilling. Don't be afraid to be open to those you love. Be vulnerable. There are so many amazing people in the world ready to listen and be there for you. ❤️ Beautiful song.
This proves the point that those things don't bring you fulfillment, so why are people still so obsessed, constantly chasing an empty happiness that still makes them feel alone at the end of the day? Why do people crave validation from strangers when what they actually want is a meaningful connection to someone, anyone? Why do people continue on a path that never changes despite it making them miserable? Each person should take a long, close look inside themselves and realize what truly matters in their life and be honest with themselves about it.
This woman is incredible. She rose like a phoenix from the ashes of her past, ready to start a new chapter! She has all the respect for being so raw and true. Love her so much! And I am beyond proud!🥺❤️
Your fans are listening, especially the ones who feel the same and have blared your music in our ears just to make it through our own struggles because you make us feel better just by singing about how you feel and being real. Thank you, Demi Lovato, for everything 💙
Just watched the grammy performance. She just broke my heart and glued it back together. Most times a cry for help is confused for a cry for attention. To you whom I don't know, if you have a cry for help, I'm here, ill hear and ill be there for you. Welcome back Demi, this world is different without you. God bless everyone.
Nightingale (2013) : "I need a star to follow I don't know" Anyone (2020) : "I talk to shooting stars But they always get it wrong" Damn the growth with her writing 🥺
The fact that in the pre-chours she said "i feel stupid when i pray". And then in the chorus she's crying out loud the world "lord". Tells a lot that she still believes there's someone listening. She just needs people to *clearly* show affection to her.
One of the most iconic songs of all time.. literal proof no matter how "popular" and known you can be, everyone can have times they feel totally alone . So thankful she survived and continues to spread her love and beauty into the world
@@alidd5644overdose is taking to much of whatever drug of choice someone takes or uses. It literally stops the heart and slows your breathing all the way down until you have no more breath. Sometimes narcan can bring them out of overdosing but not always.
@@jonahshipley6342 On Instagram, she wrote: "anyone. out now. This is a raw recording from July 20th 2018. Even tho I’m pretty much a perfectionist with recording, I thought this was better to be left the way it is." So I'm saying her vocals are perfect :)
@@jigglemcswiggle7186 That's the point: Demi said she doesn't consider this perfect to her standards, but she let it go. This other commenter believes it's a perfect song as it is, with Demi's raw emotions.
My heart just tears into two everytime I listen to this . I have felt this way when I lived under a bridge when I was 13 , when I thought there was no hope. Fortunately I meet a woman who was a lady of the night (old term). She also danced , she brought me back . I bless her everyday 🙏 ❤️ thank you for my life 🙏 😢 thank you for writing this haunting but Amazing song that touches my soul. 😢❤
She's such a Queen. In Sober she said "I wanna be your role model, but I'm only human." This woman is exactly a role model. A woman who does not give up even after hard times and times of fight. Demi is a great role model, you can't change my mind about that.
She is sober till the next time, it's sad but true, the entertaining bussiness destroy people, especially those who are addiected or just can't find inner peace. She might come as strong now but she is not, so don't take her as a role model because that's exactly one of the reasons artists feel pressed and depressed.
@@andrese9805 I do not agree with you. Of course you can have your opinion, but ofcourse business is hard where she's in. Most people, just like Demi find strength in their fans. And I really think she is a role model, because when life is hard it's about not giving up and fight for what you love and for yourself. This is exactly what she did. Ofcourse those old scars will stay and be painfull, but it's about how you hendle it. Demi does and did great. A role model isn't a role model without thing that are going wrong. A role model is about how someone is and hendle things.
You must be kidding if you really think that fans could ever be artists' strengh, that's just a cliché phrase artists say to please their fans. She needs to heal her soul, her mind and learn how to face life and problems without substances that can kill her. The problem with artists is that they are sourranded by yes people who only care about checks and at the end of the day, they are alone and that's what really kills them.
This makes me so sad. She was literally crying out for help. You can hear the pain in her voice. Demi we're listening and I want to give you the biggest hug ever.
i literally cried when i watched her Grammy performance. how can you say "she doesn't have emotions."?? everyone has emotions but they shows them different. you can't judge someone without no idea what she is going through. you don't have to love her but also you don't have to hate her. maybe she's not a good singer for you but we love her because she's not just a singer for us. she gives us power. she made us believe that we're worth it. we love her with all our hearts. (sorry for my grammar mistakes...)
Finally, Demi I’m so heartbroken that this is what you were feeling when we almost lost you. I just wanted to let you know, that music didn’t mean much to me before you. I pray you see us listening
you can tell this song is so sentimental. not just the lyrics, but the production, too. the raw piano, the raw vocals with almost no effects added to them (minus the reverb). you can hear all of the emotion in her voice.
I can feel the energy and how she feels. Me personally I 100% understand where she’s coming from. She feels lonely. She feels like she has no one to connect to. We hear you girl. ❤️ We care.
I survived cancer when I was 8 years old. Today I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma cancer came back to me after 13 years and I’m just here listening to this song in tears Update : 19-7-2020 Today I got my results and I’m officially CANCER FREE thanks to everyone one who wrote for me I kept coming back to read the replies over and over again during hard times specially when I was in the chemo therapy thank you so much I love you
She is forever my idol. She has advocated for so much in her life. When she struggles the most she comes back bigger and better. Mental illness can be tough and it can hurt you. Addiction is so mind numbing. But she fought hard through it. She is so brave. I love her for that.
Jeez, I feel such a relief that we are able to hear her perform this song instead of listening to it as a posthumously released one. We are listening, Demi.
Out of pain comes beauty and what a beautiful and heartfelt song. I know sometimes as we are going through things and praying to no avail it seems as if no one is listening. But God is always listening and moving on our behalf. My mother always tells me while we are trying to figure it out God has already worked it out. Out of your pain this song was brought forth and will be on many Playlist.
She went through Bullemia and drug overdoses and almost died and she’s here today singing this I’m so proud of her I love you Demi forever this is why she’s my inspiration her songs always lift me up when I’m sad❤️
"Nobody is listening to me." Love, when I'm in my weakest point I'm listening to you, your songs. It gave me strength. So don't ever feel that you're alone and lonely, remember that you have your Lovatics. ❤❤❤
Thank you Demi for everything this song doesn’t just mean a lot to you It touched each one of us in a different personal level You spoke for everyone who’s suffering Thank you for your kindness to share such personal songs You deserves all the love and respect and gratitude You’re survivor A warrior And a hero I’m beyond grateful you are here with us today and has the courage and bravery to tell your story with such a vulnerable raw soulful and pure song Your cries for help were neglected But now is the time you’re listened The time we believe in you The time we give you the support and respect and recognition that you needs and deserve To see through more than just the celebrity screens And see you as a human being A fighting soul A strong powerful spirit We lovatics love you
this song speaks to people who are depressed, this is exactly what a depressed people feels. every words is describing what a depressed people feel. i hope everyone who are depressed will get better by time. you don't have to stay so strong if you don't want, but please don't be alone. I hope people can understand depressed people better. Take care everyone.
I got shivers when I heard that. I've got different issues than she had, but the feeling is captured so well that I just couldn't hold back tears due to how true the feeling is...
This is so heartfelt for all of us. Every human in some point of their life lives this kinda loneliness. If you didn't, hope you don't. Everybody kept mocking with her but she was just living her worst nightmare. She is a human being after all. Having all of us, fans, is not something to fulfill your heart.
I remember she sang this for the first time live at the Grammys in January of 2020. The day Kobe's helicopter crashed... She couldn't even make it through the intro without crying at first. The pianist just patiently waited for her to be ready and she sang it so absolutely beautifully. ❤❤❤❤
okay. this is hard for everyone but sadly we live in such a dark and broken world. For me, and for everyone, the God i serve and worship is such an amazing God, but it feels like He's not listening. Sometimes its like a dark wall an individual is praying to. I felt that too for so many years. But to just get right to the point, He is listening. We just need to put in that effort because we can't expect for God to spoil us. If He does, then we would never learn from our falls and mistakes. He never gives us the pain but the struggle, basically like going to the gym to build muscles. He is listening and just trust in that. When I prayed, He used someone I never met before to tell me that He is listening and showed me how He was working in my struggles. Listen to "wavemaker" and "Here Again".
i just heard this for the first time bc my textbook in psychology showed a pic of her performing it. i'm not caught up with much new music at all but this is so real. it's scary to see a worldwide known famous person of over a decade literally crying for help in their profession and it's just another piece of art to perform. so many celebrities get mocked for mental health and drug related issues but it's all pain and feeling trapped like the rest of us have or inevitably will. the girl has been through too much at all ages, i've been at the point multiple times where the only thing that makes actual sense is to give up, no matter how much healing u do it's hard to accept u aren't the person u were before all the struggling and trauma. also easy to fall back into the hole. demi has been suffering since she was a kid and fame does terrible things to ur mind, not to mention contracts and who is surrounding u. also the fact no one is comfortable being open with things that are really serious. too many problems with humanity, bad things happening to generally good people, hopelessness coming in from all angles. all u can do is keep it in mind when encountering ppl and keep ur loved ones close bc all of this good and bad will just be memories.
“Tired of empty conversations cause no one hears me anymore” please pay attention around you, be good to the people around you, you really don’t know if they just need someone to listen😔
Sometimes, you hear a song that hits the soul, and tears can't be held. You think you're alone, but then you know there has to be someone out there who knows exactly how you feel. 😪
i hate sadness, loneliness, depression.. it should not exist. i’m sad for listening to this song... i’m sad she still in that "thing". i’m glad i’m done with all of that and out of all of this. amazing song and so relatable.
I just really don't have the words to express what my heart wants to explode with when I hear this song. If I were to define what lyrics and music are supposed to do I'd refer to this song, there are many, but this tugs my heart strings profoundly. I'm not that someone for you, but my spirit is with you, I speak notes and emotion. Tears of joy and compassion here. You are loved and not alone. NEVER GIVE UP! Thank you for this.
I’m listening to this song while I’m inpatient in the psych ward...this song describes exactly how I feel.. this is my 27th time in one and I’m only 19 I want to get better I try to speak I try to do everything but just like the song no one is listening. I get worse and worse the doctors don’t understand what’s going on they tell me to just do treatment outside but it’s been so long I need the support from somewhere long term. This song is beautiful just like her soul I am beyond proud of her I remember looking up to her I still do she is what true recovery looks like she has been through so much but she always came out stronger than ever. Thank you Demi...❤️
Anonymous Lui May God’s blessing,take over your life,so that you can truly see,that someone is listening! You are loved,and all of us here, are suffering from something,whether it’s depression,addiction,loneliness, but taking that first step is always the hardest,but do it anyways! Love & prayers to all of you,be that ANYONE to someone!
This song was seriously a cry for help you can hear it in her voice she is litterally grasping at anything she can get she was litterally CRYING for help and someone to listen
This has been a crazy day with Kobe's death, the Puerto rico aftershock, and some personal pain. Then she started crying during her performance on the Grammy's and I just broke. I felt her words. I felt her pain. I havent felt that connected to an artist in a while. Thanks Demi and I hope you know that I felt that way too and I'm listening.
@@carolinasmusic5629 not personally, but I have many friends from there or with family there, plus it's just right to care for all people, regardless of where we are from. When they hurt, we all hurt. We are all Puerto Rico tonight. 🇵🇷❤
I felt so hard this song. I had to fight depression since I was a little kid and in 2018 I tried suicide. I felt like I had nobody, like there was no meaning for me to hold on. I also told people the way I felt but somehow no one could ever understand, they used to say "you are overreacting" or they simple didn't listen. I was so alone at the time that I used to talk to myself, to comfort myself. But I was struggling. I love Demi, and I love this song so much.
I just stumbled upon this song. I have never listened to Demi, this is the first time (except the viral ones). I can't explain how many times I have felt this way and desperately needed someone, but no one was ever there. I have struggled but always stood back up. Knowing she overdosed after recording this song breaks my heart. Everyone deserves someone. We are all alone in this world. Rather, we have all been left alone. Wish I could be there for her or someone could. Anyone reading this lots of love to you. ❤

The thought of this almost being her last song is so heartbreaking. No one should ever feel this lonely in a world full of people
Why is it her last song?
@@김니키타김 She wroted it right before her overdose
@Celeste Kirkpatrick oh thanks
Oh, but you do feel lonely even if you are surrounded by people, even more if you are in a dark place.
Joselyn Xoxo honestly......
I don’t think people really understand reaching this point when you’re in a dark place and not having the strength to pull yourself out of it anymore or even pretend to be okay. It’s mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually draining. You just can’t do it. I’m so proud of her for releasing this. It takes a lot to tell your story when the world has heard it and seen it through judgmental eyes. So glad she made it through 💚💚💚.
Elle T. I don’t know if she made it.....she’s fighting....I still hear it in her voice.....she needs prayer and love
wendy solivan she’s still here and I consider that as “making it”. She made it through whatever darkness she was in. She’s in a lesser darkness now, one that may be easier to bear. Never said she wasn’t still fighting as depression and the things that come with it are battles that are fought on a daily basis. I’m simply proud that she’s made it this far.
I can kinda relate to that tbh. I have been insecure with body image, anxious of my future etc. It's been something I struggle which can be emotionally draining
Exactly! Thank you for this 🥺
Been there in 2014. Thank god my husband felt it and called my friend down the street. They saved my life that day.
The fact that she wrote and recorded that in front of people and STILL no one thought "i should help her" makes me so mad shes right no one listens it took her almost DYING for people to say "oh shit she needs help" everyone struggles and everyone needs people to lean on i just wish us fans could do more i knew she needed help when sober came out but all i could do was hope someone else would see it its a shame no one did im so glad shes ok and alive
Jen S I 100% agree with you. I feel so stupid to listen to sober and not to be thinking maybe she needs help I just thought it was about her past struggle and how she is coping with it. Now listening back to it I just see how blind I was to it, and it kills me that most people didn't see it either.
She wrote it days before her OD. She prayed in recovery that if she got better, she would finish and record it. I'd guess no one saw the lyrics before the OD.
people have their own problems, its not just about her. speak up if you need help dont expect anyone to know how you feel, thats for teenagers.
I agree. She's just SCREAMING for help. I also didn't hear sober until the OD so yeah. I would definitely help if I was in her inner circle. I would've given her that help she needed if I was close to her and just knew. Now that I look back, I feel so stupid.
Mysterious_Lovatic
Friendship is hard work, it’s ongoing and not a one dimensional. You will know many people in your life, but you will be able to count your true friends on one hand. In her case, she’s surrounded by hangerson, grifters, wants be’s leeches, that aren’t her friend they are there for a paycheck, and that’s it. True loyal friends aren’t just fair weather, they are there for the good times and bad, you can confide in the them and they won’t go blabbing it to your circle of friends.
I’ve had the good fortune to have friends like that, maybe being from Alaska is conducive those kinds of deep friendships. I had a friend that became a heroin addict, while others stood by and talked about what a mess he was, but made no effort to talk to him, his so called friends found it easier to just distance themselves from him. Those aren’t friends.
People throw the word friend around to describe someone they’ve known for a month, people who know me. I’ve known for 25-30 years, know that I’ve never used that word to describe someone that I don’t consider a friend per se’ someone I know but don’t know anything about them, coworkers fall in that category.
There’s a lot of people who feel just like Demi does in this song! There’s so much suffering and pain happening in this world and any one who’s struggling right now or has struggled in the past, this song hits home for them, it touches their soul! Demi did an incredible job with this song not only capturing her own painful moments but also giving comfort to others who are going through the same darkness! We hear you!
I don't suffer from addiction but my health both medical & mental, have me feeling this way. Yes ppl are around but they hear what they want to hear not what I need them to hear. This song somehow makes me feel heard as if they are singing my feelings too.
Thank you Demi. You have helped many ppl with the sharing of your soul 💜💚
I'm struggling so hard rn but nobody's listening to me either:(
@@sophiadendias8278 I’m listening.
@@sophiadendias8278 I'm listening.
I agree. I'm one of those people and desperate at this very moment for someone to love me. Idc who, anyone would be better than no one. I am also a addict trying my best to succeed at recovering one more time b4 I die.
I fell like everything she does is so underrated. She has and incredible voice and still doesn't get the recognition she deserves. I am mad. She's been feeling so lonely and still nobodys listening to her. I love you, Demi.
Oscar, I disagree. You don’t need fame and recognition to be listened.
What she means is feeling lonely as in depression.
She wrote this song days before the overdose incident for depression
So underrated
@@waleskabaca yeah, i agree with you. We all know she's talking about depression. I meant to say that even artistically, she hasn't been up there.
People (especially teens) prefer shitty song from average singer.
She cried at the first try and then she gain her strength, came back stronger and delivered at the Grammys. Beyond proud! 💙
She is a beautiful soul having human experiences. Great performance.
Yong Tamazaki it was such a powerful and probably one of her most vulnerable performances
I've been watching the Grammys for over forty years and I have never seen such a beautiful performance.💕🎶💕
@@sharonbussanmas3978 watch pink swinging from ropes in air... Around 2013 or so.
@@timhoovermusicman Such a one of a kind performance that will be remembered forever.
Imagine admitting to the whole world about your addiction, then getting crucified for it just to comeback and belt out a song like this...
Demi Lovato, you’re a warrior.
Honestly shes never covered it up she has said she needs help
I know and that's sad asf honestly
Sad, but she better not relapse because she always does
@@felicitymemela1963 she has only relapsed once. She was sober for 6 years prior to her overdose
@@toshatrujillo7821 I send signals too that I need help but no one sees it or they think it's not that bad
‘Sober’ was the biggest warning sign we missed and ‘Anyone’ was the warning sign her team missed - she wrote and recorded ‘anyone’ 4 days before the overdose, how no one thought to see if she was okay is awful. You can hear the pain, anger, frustration, the “im done” in her voice. Sad to think this would of been the last song she wrote and recorded for the world, speaks volumes.
It was released when she was doing better and performed it first at the Grammys
Anyone is the scream for help that everyone's ignored, Dancing With the Devil is during the chaos of her fighting for her life and ICU is the aftermath of her surviving.
@@yuli6235 she uses she/her again.
@@Dash120z omg thnx, didn't know that :0
Where do you get off presuming that "no one 'thought to see if she was ok"? You don't know what her family or her friends did or didn't do in the days leading up to her overdose. Someone who suffers from addiction and/or mental illness can't be saved or helped in any way unless and until they are ready and wiling to save/help themselves. Demi has said herself, that her family and friends DID try to help her. You have no idea how much her suffering caused her loved ones to suffer and people like you, moralizing from your social media soap box are just callous, demeaning, pretentious and cruel. I hope you never have to experience this kind of heart ache and tragedy first hand, but I do hope you come to realize just how 'awful' your comment really is.
I mean she didn’t write it but she connected to the song and recorded it and everyone on her team missed the signs
I feel her pain. I feel like everyone has had a moment in their life that made them feel this low. Yet, never forget Demi that there are thousands of people here for you. I’ve never met you but I will always be here. I grew up watching you and admiring your journey. You’ve come so far. I’m so happy you’re here. I’m so happy that you’re here and that you’re able to spread such an important message.
Megan Law
I agree Megan 😊
She's so strong and if she's happy that makes me feel so good...
Everyone making it about her soberness. She crying out for help being in the music industry & feeling depressed & loneliness.
The same girl. Watching her journey from the start, i am here in good and bad times. My journey is so closer to her. I find myself in every her song, in every her words and notes. 🙊 Demi is and always will be queen of the world. 💞 She saved so many lifes, and now she have to save her own life. (ans we should help her) 🙏💞
100% agree with you megan
There's no one like Demi.
She's a warrior, she admitted her drug addiction and then she came back with this amazing gem.
It's no more about charts, it's about stories and her story is absolutely my favourite one.

STAY STRONG DEMI.WE NEED YOU😡💕
Oi
She’s so incredibly strong and brave. She’s human, she went back to the dark place and burned. But she raised from the ashes and now she’s flying higher than ever
So what exactly is she trying to say when she says"nobodys listening to me" she knows how to talk to her friends and family why she trying to act like a victim.
@@CannibalMan09 in a way I can understand what you are saying, but just think we don't know the background to everything that had happended.
@@CannibalMan09 Your ignorance is showing
@@CannibalMan09 It's not that easy. Sometimes you talk to your friends and family but they can't understand, because thay never whenthrough it. Maybe you don't understand her words because, probably, you also didn't went through this. And I'm glad you didn't. I don't wish these moments to anyone...
Sometimes, when you are in your lowest moments, it's like your screaming inside, but you just can't do anything on the outside. You can even go to your friends and family and try to explain how you feel, but they won't understand, and it's not their fault. Actually, it's not anyone's fault. No one has to understand what's on your mind when you are so deep into a depression... And because your friends and family don't understand, they will try to reach you, they will try to understand in their own way.
I had my father say that I was just sad, because he couldn't understand how it was possible that is own daughter could reach that depressed level. People don't know what it's like, so they'll compare to the most similar thing that they know. And try to advise you the way they would advise someone in the situation that THEY KNOW. And you know those advices don't fit you, because what you're feeling is so much deeper. And you continue to explain, or trying to, but you can see in their faces that they cannot reach your feelings, neither do your thoughts, and you start to get desperate. Because everything you're trying to explain stays with you, it's like a wall between you and them. A person who has not pass through this won't understand. I had to start with some medicine to be able to hold on. Now I'm free of it, but listening to this song, I know exactly how she feels. Because I've been there. I know what it's like when you're facing your mum, or your sister, or even your boyfriend, and you know that they are trying to help you, they are trying to show you that the world isn't that bad as you see it, but you're so dark inside that you can't see any light outside. And you start feeling that people around you are tired of you. Because whenever you try to explain, and they don't understand, you're repeating youself over and over, hoping that at any moment they will tisten, but REALLY LISTEN, and understand everything you've been through. But that moment won't arrive, and you go to ber every night, cry and cry, praying for someone you don't even believe exists anymore. And you just ask for someone, anyone, that comes to your live, understands you and tells you all the recipe that you should follow in order to get out of that darkness. Eventually, that person is yourself. Eventually, after all you've been through, you are stronger, and you start to be so afraid to lose everything around you, that you start to act. Until you reach this moment, where you decide to do something, you will go deeper and deeper. Your friends and family are everything that you have, despite them not understanding you, it's important that they'll be there. That they don't judge you, that they don't minimize your feelings and your thoughts. It's important that they show you that they will be there for you, even when you are crying and an't say any word, even when you are locked in your room trying to deal with your demons. So, Demi knows that their family and friends are there for her. But she also knows that's not the solution. They're just holding on, until, eventually, one day she can deal with something and look for someone who will really help her with her problem. I hope she can deal with it. I know what its like wanting to disappear from this world cause you can't find any light around you. I think you have to try to convince yourself everyday that it still exists one litle bit piece of hope that you will get through that. When you really believe in that, magic happens.
@@Xaniinhah96 thank you so much for this. As someone who is currently trying dig my way out, I can't even begin to explain how much this meant to me. I've never read anything that gave me so much inspiration and hope when I've been dying inside for even a glimpse of something to keep me going. You are truly an angel sent from heaven and I'm so thankful that you made it out and are able to share your experience. I've been up all night after a horrible lucid dream and your random comment left me in tears and just might be the push I needed.

I don't understand how the people listening to her record this didn't think this was a cry for help. You can hear the pain and emotion in her voice and she is obviously feeling alone.
She was already asking for help in sober but nobody was listening to her.
she could've wrote this by herself so then no one heard...maybe...just a thought
Sadly the record label probably don't care😥
@@agnation4007 This song has 6 songwriters credited to it.
Because they all care about her money, not about her as a person:( Unfurtunately, once these singers sell their souls, the Illuminatis control their lives, they become products, not people. I wouldn't be surprised if her overdosing/going to rehab was just a cover-up for the Illuminatis trying to control her and her wanting to get out of that sick environment. Think about how many stars have similar stories : drugs, alcohol, mental and physical abuse, going to "rehab" etc. The going to rehab/psych ward cover-up is often used when they want to break free but they can't so the Illuminatis do everything to stop them by mind-programming them and when it doesn't work these stars are outcasted/chastised, made out to be some psycho addicts etc. Look how quick the Illuminati can ruin your reputation, once youre a King of Pop like Michael Jackson and the next day when you try to enlighten the world about the Illuminatis - you become the most vicious "pedophile" or you suddenly die like 2Pac or Kurt Cobain.
It’s crazy to think about how this could’ve been their last song

Poter lover what the hell do you know? Everyone is different with or without money... My husband had a friend who commited suicide, we never imagined he will do it cause he never show negativity, he always makes jokes, very kind person, a loving father, a good friends, he would always bring food for everyone, he was good nurse to his patients. He never showed he was depressed or saying any suicidal thoughts he was in doing rehab and taking medication cause he want's to get better... my husband and him was planning something the last time they talk before he shot and killed him self my husband text him that tgeir plan to go somewhere was a GO he replied "K" so my husband didn't anything was wrong but all of that sudden the nxt day he got a txt from another co-worker that he was found dead on his travel trailer shot himself in the head... its the worst thing in the world... suicide, depression no one can never understand... if to dont have sympathy just shut your mouth and keep it to yourself, hopefully it doesn't happen to you or any of your family...

You know. I'm a senior male in my 70s, a widower x2 (the last 3:55 only months ago) and today is the first time I have heard this song being a classic rock guy. It is such a beautiful song with its desperate and sincere reaching out for help.

I love how they kept her vocals pretty raw. It doesn’t sound like they put any filters on her voice.
Briee Haro I agree. It’s just full of emotions and raw beauty. The world does not deserve such talent.
She wanted it extremely raw so it didn't take away from the message. Her Grammy's performance was emotional
She only recorded it once and with one take. She left it completely unedited because she knew that emotion couldn’t be recaptured. She has always been a perfectionist when it comes to recording songs, so it was a step outside of her comfort zone to not go back and fix anything. But i’m so glad she left it raw and pure.
@@nicoletti345 precisely
As ALL voices in music, by all singers should be. In my opinion.. no filters, nu autotune, just real talent.
She doesn't just struggle with addictions, she also struggles with her bipolar disorder which is devastating. I'm not the biggest fan but I have so much respect for her as a person. She's honestly one of the most strongest, bravest people I’ve ever seen.
Singer Beth Hart has the worst version of bi-polar disorder and had a drug addiction and she says she feels like an airplane crash survivor everytime one of her peers dies from suicide or drug addiction.

This song is so powerful anyone who’s been through depression and anxiety can easily resonate with this. The feeling of being alone regardless of whether your physically surrounded by people. The internal and mental feeling of having no one; being a prisoner in your own mind and body. Demi truly captured that feeling through this song, this is a cry for help in her darkest moment. Trying to heal herself through self medication, we’ve all been there. Demi is so inspiring and powerful even when she’s down. It’s so raw and authentic!

Same 💕
I can attest to the fact that a person's voice sounds different when they're high, especially on opiates. I've been clean and sober since 2011. I'm so proud of Demi for always staying true to herself. It can't be easy for her to be in the spotlight with her addiction. It must be exceedingly difficult for all of these celebrities to think they need to be ON all the time when they are merely human, just like us. Oh, how I wish society would simply treat them like the regular people they are, with flaws and raw emotions, and not hold them to such high standards or put them on such towering pedestals. If only we lived in such a world...

You didn’t use any metaphor. You said and explained everything as it is, as you feel it. I really appreciate that.

ikr that was exactly what I was thinking
This song is the scream of Demi Lovato's heart expressed through a song, so that the world knows that she is experiencing a big problem that has befallen her life, and hopes that God will send someone to help her through difficult times in her life. This song truly represents all human feelings when they are at their lowest point, and they feel they don't choose hope anymore to rise from adversity. This song is very pleasant to hear and makes anyone feel extraordinary emotional. 👍👍👍👍👍
“I feel stupid when I sing” you can feel the pain in her voice. i’m so sorry that she had to go trough this💔
I'm religious and only one in the room most times. I feel her lyrics.

I wish no one could feel that its depressing i never knew she felt like this she usually looks so happy in videos.
We all feel that way in some point of life... no matter how old you are or situation... this song is perfect
Demi: “I NEED ANYONE, I NEED SOMEONE ”
We are here for you Demi💯💙You are not stupid when you sing because you are singing out your pain, struggles and accomplishments💯💯We love you for you 🥺❤️
TE AMOOO DEMIIIIII
me too
This is how today's depressing world is. We got so many sources of communication, but still no one is listening anyone. Money, fame, social media accounts can't bring us happiness. We run after need, but forget what we actually need. Love you, Demi. You expressed this emotion so beautifully. ❤
Exactly!!! She wrote this four days before she hospitalized. No One saw this as a cry for HELP!!! That’s insane!!!
Beautifully stated. This is a powerful lesson to all of us to be present, caring, and compassionate to everyone.
Aside from our social disconnection, we're also so consumed with vapid nonsense.
You never know what someone is going through until you ask and actually listen. Having a real conversation about LIFE is so fulfilling. Don't be afraid to be open to those you love. Be vulnerable. There are so many amazing people in the world ready to listen and be there for you. ❤️
Beautiful song.
This proves the point that those things don't bring you fulfillment, so why are people still so obsessed, constantly chasing an empty happiness that still makes them feel alone at the end of the day? Why do people crave validation from strangers when what they actually want is a meaningful connection to someone, anyone? Why do people continue on a path that never changes despite it making them miserable? Each person should take a long, close look inside themselves and realize what truly matters in their life and be honest with themselves about it.
@@TheSwauzz Exactly. You said the words of my mind.. 😢❤
@@Jowitaxoxo Yeah. We have to realise it before it's too late...
This woman is incredible. She rose like a phoenix from the ashes of her past, ready to start a new chapter! She has all the respect for being so raw and true. Love her so much! And I am beyond proud!🥺❤️

Yesss!!
Hopefully it will be the last time
I think this is her best song so far, here she shows what a powerful voice she has.
She absolutely blew me away performing this tonight at the Grammys. Had no idea she could sing that raw. Never really followed her, but will.
Your fans are listening, especially the ones who feel the same and have blared your music in our ears just to make it through our own struggles because you make us feel better just by singing about how you feel and being real. Thank you, Demi Lovato, for everything 💙
Rissa Black One more time for the people in the back
when she said, "i feel stupid when i pray, why am i even praying anyway?" i really felt that
Sarah SAAAAAME
Hello Sarah! We can talk about it? This is my Instagram: @karinafju
God give you strength
Amen
I felt that heavy
This song has paid rent in my head since the live Grammy performance.
Her pain is so real, and it’s a little bit close to home.
@Demi Lovato yyyeeeaaahhh…
You’re not Demi. Nice try, though.
Just watched the grammy performance. She just broke my heart and glued it back together. Most times a cry for help is confused for a cry for attention. To you whom I don't know, if you have a cry for help, I'm here, ill hear and ill be there for you. Welcome back Demi, this world is different without you. God bless everyone.
Nightingale (2013) : "I need a star to follow
I don't know"
Anyone (2020) : "I talk to shooting stars
But they always get it wrong"
Damn the growth with her writing 🥺
The fact that in the pre-chours she said "i feel stupid when i pray". And then in the chorus she's crying out loud the world "lord". Tells a lot that she still believes there's someone listening. She just needs people to *clearly* show affection to her.
One of the most iconic songs of all time.. literal proof no matter how "popular" and known you can be, everyone can have times they feel totally alone .
So thankful she survived and continues to spread her love and beauty into the world
I can’t believe we were so close to losing her. I’m so proud of her and how far she’s come❤️
Why what does the overdose do?
ali universe what? She almost died because of it
@@chrisnado9471 i actualy dont know what is this the overdose iwish you can Till me And what is it from
@@alidd5644overdose is taking to much of whatever drug of choice someone takes or uses. It literally stops the heart and slows your breathing all the way down until you have no more breath. Sometimes narcan can bring them out of overdosing but not always.
@@alidd5644sorry I didn’t realize your comment was from 3 years ago I’m sure you understand now.
She said she was a perfectionist in recording and this song wasn't perfect... but I can't hear it. I can only hear perfection.
What?
@@jonahshipley6342 On Instagram, she wrote: "anyone. out now. This is a raw recording from July 20th 2018. Even tho I’m pretty much a perfectionist with recording, I thought this was better to be left the way it is." So I'm saying her vocals are perfect :)
@@ashleyventham8478 no offense but it came up on Spotify and it was pretty flat in terms of the singing. Still a good singer though
@@jigglemcswiggle7186 That's the point: Demi said she doesn't consider this perfect to her standards, but she let it go. This other commenter believes it's a perfect song as it is, with Demi's raw emotions.
it´s perfect because it´s authentic...
This just proves that celebrities are real people because she’s surrounded by millions of people and still feels unheard💔
You needed that proven?
My heart just tears into two everytime I listen to this . I have felt this way when I lived under a bridge when I was 13 , when I thought there was no hope. Fortunately I meet a woman who was a lady of the night (old term). She also danced , she brought me back . I bless her everyday 🙏 ❤️ thank you for my life 🙏 😢 thank you for writing this haunting but Amazing song that touches my soul. 😢❤
Im so sry 😢
She's such a Queen. In Sober she said "I wanna be your role model, but I'm only human." This woman is exactly a role model. A woman who does not give up even after hard times and times of fight. Demi is a great role model, you can't change my mind about that.
Kells :3 I 100% agree
Preach.
She is sober till the next time, it's sad but true, the entertaining bussiness destroy people, especially those who are addiected or just can't find inner peace. She might come as strong now but she is not, so don't take her as a role model because that's exactly one of the reasons artists feel pressed and depressed.
@@andrese9805 I do not agree with you. Of course you can have your opinion, but ofcourse business is hard where she's in. Most people, just like Demi find strength in their fans. And I really think she is a role model, because when life is hard it's about not giving up and fight for what you love and for yourself. This is exactly what she did. Ofcourse those old scars will stay and be painfull, but it's about how you hendle it. Demi does and did great. A role model isn't a role model without thing that are going wrong. A role model is about how someone is and hendle things.
You must be kidding if you really think that fans could ever be artists' strengh, that's just a cliché phrase artists say to please their fans. She needs to heal her soul, her mind and learn how to face life and problems without substances that can kill her. The problem with artists is that they are sourranded by yes people who only care about checks and at the end of the day, they are alone and that's what really kills them.
the fact that this could have been her last song is killing me!!! So much respect for heeer
But you forget that every song could be the last one
@@romana1998 Exactly.
@@romana1998 yes but this one is literally crying for help
This makes me so sad. She was literally crying out for help. You can hear the pain in her voice. Demi we're listening and I want to give you the biggest hug ever.
The raw beautiful way this is sang, ART every breath and every note connected like brush strokes.
Brush stokes lol
i literally cried when i watched her Grammy performance. how can you say "she doesn't have emotions."?? everyone has emotions but they shows them different. you can't judge someone without no idea what she is going through. you don't have to love her but also you don't have to hate her. maybe she's not a good singer for you but we love her because she's not just a singer for us. she gives us power. she made us believe that we're worth it. we love her with all our hearts. (sorry for my grammar mistakes...)
Ive never heard anyone say she doesn't have emotion
@@iamnia336 not so many people have said but yes it has been said for her...
Finally, Demi I’m so heartbroken that this is what you were feeling when we almost lost you. I just wanted to let you know, that music didn’t mean much to me before you. I pray you see us listening
I love that artists are getting motivated to actually sing what they truly feel inside.
Demi has been doing this since she was born and I love her for it! (On top of many other things) I’m just so in awe of my babygirl 💔
Yeah. The problem is the only inspiration here is very dark. And that’s dangerous. Shouldn’t be inspiring or romantic
"Nobody‘s listening to me".. Demi..thank you for that song 🙏 and thank you for your remarkable voice ❤️
you can tell this song is so sentimental. not just the lyrics, but the production, too. the raw piano, the raw vocals with almost no effects added to them (minus the reverb). you can hear all of the emotion in her voice.
And little to no post production. I love the fact you can hear the breaks in her voice. It adds a level of emotion that kills me
This song was about a week before she OD so it's very powerful and sentimental. It could have easily been her last song
The. Song. is. good. Thanks for the song
I can feel the energy and how she feels. Me personally I 100% understand where she’s coming from. She feels lonely. She feels like she has no one to connect to. We hear you girl. ❤️ We care.
I feel this song
Love Demi
I feel this song so much it really made me cry
I survived cancer when I was 8 years old. Today I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma cancer came back to me after 13 years and I’m just here listening to this song in tears
Update : 19-7-2020 Today I got my results and I’m officially CANCER FREE thanks to everyone one who wrote for me I kept coming back to read the replies over and over again during hard times specially when I was in the chemo therapy thank you so much I love you
you are a warrior, you´ll survive.
It's going to be ok, just be brave. Send you so much love and prayers 🙏🙏🙏💌💌💌💌
You are strong and a hero
I was diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma too, on Feb. I feel you, but be strong and positive! Everything will be ok ,you’ll get better
I believe you'll fight through this. Imma pray for you🙏💕.
It’s the middle of the night and I wanna just go outside and scream this from the top of my lungs
I'm literally crying right now. ....when she sang on Grammy it was masterpiece. ....lovatics our queen is back
She was never gone!
She never left
She never left she's always singing
I cant watch that performance without tears rolling down my face. So powerful. Oh my god her voice! It's a pity they took it down off youtube.
She is forever my idol. She has advocated for so much in her life. When she struggles the most she comes back bigger and better. Mental illness can be tough and it can hurt you. Addiction is so mind numbing. But she fought hard through it. She is so brave. I love her for that.
Jeez, I feel such a relief that we are able to hear her perform this song instead of listening to it as a posthumously released one.
We are listening, Demi.
Out of pain comes beauty and what a beautiful and heartfelt song. I know sometimes as we are going through things and praying to no avail it seems as if no one is listening. But God is always listening and moving on our behalf. My mother always tells me while we are trying to figure it out God has already worked it out. Out of your pain this song was brought forth and will be on many Playlist.
I love what your mother said "while we are trying to figure it out God has already worked it out". I didn't know I needed this 🙏🏾
@@Ashley-og9ti Thank you so much. God Bless you!
Don’t feel stupid when you sing. I’m listening.
this comment made me tear up.

Flop song
She went through Bullemia and drug overdoses and almost died and she’s here today singing this I’m so proud of her I love you Demi forever this is why she’s my inspiration her songs always lift me up when I’m sad❤️
"Nobody is listening to me."
Love, when I'm in my weakest point I'm listening to you, your songs. It gave me strength. So don't ever feel that you're alone and lonely, remember that you have your Lovatics. ❤❤❤
A cry for help has never been so loud.
Anyone who’s struggled with mental illness feel this. Beautiful. #endthestigma
fortunesa83 PREACH
I felt this hard 💔😭
yeah
I dont want to admit it
I felt
Thank you Demi for everything this song doesn’t just mean a lot to you
It touched each one of us in a different personal level
You spoke for everyone who’s suffering
Thank you for your kindness to share such personal songs
You deserves all the love and respect and gratitude
You’re survivor
A warrior
And a hero
I’m beyond grateful you are here with us today and has the courage and bravery to tell your story with such a vulnerable raw soulful and pure song
Your cries for help were neglected
But now is the time you’re listened
The time we believe in you
The time we give you the support and respect and recognition that you needs and deserve
To see through more than just the celebrity screens
And see you as a human being
A fighting soul
A strong powerful spirit
We lovatics love you
Sama Tarek Thank you for this. Demi deserves to hear how amazing she is. No word in the world could thoroughly describe how amazing she is.
Sama Tarek your words are so beautiful, i think i'm gonna cry again
Sama Tarek yo this song actually does hit a couple personal notes for me
Alisa Williams she is amazing and she deserves to know it god bless her ❤️
old ways that’s so kind of you
Btw same her i cant stop crying since the Grammy’s she touched our hearts
this song speaks to people who are depressed, this is exactly what a depressed people feels. every words is describing what a depressed people feel. i hope everyone who are depressed will get better by time. you don't have to stay so strong if you don't want, but please don't be alone. I hope people can understand depressed people better. Take care everyone.
I got shivers when I heard that. I've got different issues than she had, but the feeling is captured so well that I just couldn't hold back tears due to how true the feeling is...
This is so heartfelt for all of us. Every human in some point of their life lives this kinda loneliness. If you didn't, hope you don't. Everybody kept mocking with her but she was just living her worst nightmare. She is a human being after all. Having all of us, fans, is not something to fulfill your heart.
The Grammys performance was my first time hearing this song. How the hell did anyone close to her not recognize this as a cry for help?
It was the first time almost everyone heard the song. (It was released maybe a half hour before on Itunes, but that's it.)
Song “sober” was a cry for help imo
@@jenk600 I thought that too \: sucks cause not a lot of people talked about that
a / right!!! Every single time I listen to sober or watch live performances of sober on TH-cam all i hear and see is her cry for help !
That’s what I said literally she goes “anyone please send me anyone” if that’s not a sign what the hell is?
she's literally screaming and crying for help :'(
this couldn't be more expressive
moshok:(
Sad but true
Raghad Zeidan it’s scary I can’t believe what those days of staying at home are gonna do to many different artists not just to her, 😯❤️
she is not the center of the world or the only one crying for help thou!! Ah with some celebrities....
@@banala1151 so you also cry for help? Record e song like this...I would appreciate you as I'm doing her
I remember she sang this for the first time live at the Grammys in January of 2020. The day Kobe's helicopter crashed... She couldn't even make it through the intro without crying at first. The pianist just patiently waited for her to be ready and she sang it so absolutely beautifully. ❤❤❤❤
DEMIS ABOUT TO PERFORM, I’m literally crying in so excited. This is beautiful😍🥺
The “please send me” part at 3:07 really showed how much pain she was in at the moment it’s so crazy how raw and beautiful this song is
"Why the f***k am i praying anyway... If nobody's listening?"
I felt that on a spiritual level!
okay. this is hard for everyone but sadly we live in such a dark and broken world. For me, and for everyone, the God i serve and worship is such an amazing God, but it feels like He's not listening. Sometimes its like a dark wall an individual is praying to. I felt that too for so many years. But to just get right to the point, He is listening. We just need to put in that effort because we can't expect for God to spoil us. If He does, then we would never learn from our falls and mistakes. He never gives us the pain but the struggle, basically like going to the gym to build muscles. He is listening and just trust in that. When I prayed, He used someone I never met before to tell me that He is listening and showed me how He was working in my struggles. Listen to "wavemaker" and "Here Again".
*SO DO I*
@@joohyuang331 I need words like these. 😀
Someone is listening, that's the thing. The whole world thinks no one is listening, but that is the furthest from the truth.
God is listening to your prayer but your prayer will happen when the right time comes
i just heard this for the first time bc my textbook in psychology showed a pic of her performing it. i'm not caught up with much new music at all but this is so real. it's scary to see a worldwide known famous person of over a decade literally crying for help in their profession and it's just another piece of art to perform. so many celebrities get mocked for mental health and drug related issues but it's all pain and feeling trapped like the rest of us have or inevitably will. the girl has been through too much at all ages, i've been at the point multiple times where the only thing that makes actual sense is to give up, no matter how much healing u do it's hard to accept u aren't the person u were before all the struggling and trauma. also easy to fall back into the hole. demi has been suffering since she was a kid and fame does terrible things to ur mind, not to mention contracts and who is surrounding u. also the fact no one is comfortable being open with things that are really serious. too many problems with humanity, bad things happening to generally good people, hopelessness coming in from all angles. all u can do is keep it in mind when encountering ppl and keep ur loved ones close bc all of this good and bad will just be memories.
Wait, Demi’s in the textbooks now?
Ok, this song hits in a different level, too deep. Regardless what you’re going through, if you’re struggling, this one touches you, Damn..
“Tired of empty conversations cause no one hears me anymore”
please pay attention around you, be good to the people around you, you really don’t know if they just need someone to listen😔
"LORD PLEASE SEND ME ANYONE
I NEED SOMEONE"
my heart is so racing, so touching!!!!! I ADORE YOU DEMI
Sometimes, you hear a song that hits the soul, and tears can't be held. You think you're alone, but then you know there has to be someone out there who knows exactly how you feel. 😪
Listening to her voice in this song, is like listening to an entire orchestra.
Missy C and it’s just a piano.
I can’t stop crying. I’ve already played this song like 20 times already
Reese Hermogeno me too! I can’t get over it
Reese Hermogeno me too!!! I can’t stop playing it! Love you Demi Lovato

@@BTP93 I did the math too hahahah
i hate sadness, loneliness, depression.. it should not exist. i’m sad for listening to this song... i’m sad she still in that "thing".
i’m glad i’m done with all of that and out of all of this.
amazing song and so relatable.
Yet, without pain and suffering, we do not learn and grow and make amazing songs like this for others to connect with
@@thecoyles7050 pain is a way of learning but we can learn other ways. yeah i aggree about the songs
Depression is crazy 😓
I just really don't have the words to express what my heart wants to explode with when I hear this song. If I were to define what lyrics and music are supposed to do I'd refer to this song, there are many, but this tugs my heart strings profoundly. I'm not that someone for you, but my spirit is with you, I speak notes and emotion. Tears of joy and compassion here. You are loved and not alone. NEVER GIVE UP! Thank you for this.
I’m listening to this song while I’m inpatient in the psych ward...this song describes exactly how I feel.. this is my 27th time in one and I’m only 19 I want to get better I try to speak I try to do everything but just like the song no one is listening. I get worse and worse the doctors don’t understand what’s going on they tell me to just do treatment outside but it’s been so long I need the support from somewhere long term. This song is beautiful just like her soul I am beyond proud of her I remember looking up to her I still do she is what true recovery looks like she has been through so much but she always came out stronger than ever. Thank you Demi...❤️
I hear you! I feel you! WE see you! sending you all of my love and support! Stay strong❤️
If you ever want a penpal! 💚 We're all here for you!!💘
I've been through it too, your never alone!💘
Sending much love to you! I’ve been where you are, and am in a much better place now. Don’t give up! 🌷❤️
Get well soon ❣️ lots of love and Happiness with Showers of Blessings Love
Anonymous Lui May God’s blessing,take over your life,so that you can truly see,that someone is listening! You are loved,and all of us here, are suffering from something,whether it’s depression,addiction,loneliness, but taking that first step is always the hardest,but do it anyways! Love & prayers to all of you,be that ANYONE to someone!
This song was seriously a cry for help you can hear it in her voice she is litterally grasping at anything she can get she was litterally CRYING for help and someone to listen
Yeah no shit Sherlock. I think we all figured that out ourselves.

This has been a crazy day with Kobe's death, the Puerto rico aftershock, and some personal pain. Then she started crying during her performance on the Grammy's and I just broke. I felt her words.

I felt so hard this song.
I had to fight depression since I was a little kid and in 2018 I tried suicide. I felt like I had nobody, like there was no meaning for me to hold on.
I also told people the way I felt but somehow no one could ever understand, they used to say "you are overreacting" or they simple didn't listen.
I was so alone at the time that I used to talk to myself, to comfort myself. But I was struggling.
I love Demi, and I love this song so much.
Im here girl, I too am fighting
This is my first time listening to Demi Lovato OMG I love her
Nobody understand how brave is the people like you who has to fight something like that, my respect to you, only you know your own strength
Sis me too
This song hits hard. Even when you seemingly have everything, it can feel like nothing. Mystic, I'm glad you are still here.
I just stumbled upon this song. I have never listened to Demi, this is the first time (except the viral ones).
I can't explain how many times I have felt this way and desperately needed someone, but no one was ever there. I have struggled but always stood back up.
Knowing she overdosed after recording this song breaks my heart. Everyone deserves someone. We are all alone in this world. Rather, we have all been left alone. Wish I could be there for her or someone could.
Anyone reading this lots of love to you. ❤
