They came out with a ton of heavy-hitting bands, they toured a ton and did decent but were labeled as a one hit wonder because only one track was advertised"bottom of the bottle"
Actually they used to be someone back in the day a while ago.. And something happened with their record label and they got buried somehow then TH-cam came out in their starting to make a comeback
I can't believe that he's singing my life. My father committed suicide when we were young due to depression. But before that my mom was always mocked by our relatives because we're poor as rat. And now here I am and soon to be a father. All I wanted will be a better story and I don't want the past to happen again
God bless i relate as well my father was blown in half by a sawed off shotgun by his girlfriends crazy fucking dad that had come off meds and the fucker got away with it insainty i know bot what hea singing about but i just relate idk it hits home
Sitting in a rocket chair looking outside the window in the night 🌉 looking at the moon just listening to this masterpiece doesn't get anymore peaceful
This band should have been bigger then what they are.I remember hearing this song when it came out in 2003 I got chills then and still get chills to this day.
Yes I really agree with you my friend this is the best song smile empty soul has ever made everytime I hear this song it just gives me chills this song speaks to me in so many ways
Idk I love California's Lonely just as much. I was obsessed with this band for a decade. Every album, every b side, everything. Their second album to me is the greatest secret albulm ever
I was 13 when this album came out and I loved it. I still love it. It's a shame that they only really had a bit of the spotlight for like a year. That whole debut album was amazing.
I can listen to this song in 2019 and Smile now. I made it past a lot of dark times in my life, because of Smile Empty Soul's music through out the years. I tried to see them live in December 2009 in Seattle at El Corazon, but they had to cancel due to weather, and I never got to see them, here we are 10 years later. I hope I get to see you guys someday.
When you see an acoustic version of a song that was performed over 10 years ago, you gotta know that you are going to listen to real lyrics... From the heart.
Lyrics Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down They won't let me go the wrong way My mother taught me all the fables, told me how In the end all the sinners have to pay But I don't want to live like my mother I don't want to let fear rule my life And I don't want to live like my father I don't want to give up before I die He worked so hard his bones are breaking He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how I don't ever want to end up like he did And I don't want to live like my mother I don't want to let fear rule my life And I don't want to live like my father I don't want to give up before I die When I have kids I won't put any chains on their wrists, I won't I'll tell them this There's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough I don't want to live like my mother I don't want to let fear rule my life And I don't want to live like my father I don't want to give up before I die I don't want to live like my mother I don't want to let fear rule my life And I don't want to live like my father I don't want to give up before I die I don't want to live like my mother I don't want to let fear rule my life And I don't want to live like my father I don't want to give up before I die
It’s crazy, been listening to this since it came out in 2002/03 era, and the lyrics stayed the same yet the meaning of this song has shifted in so many ways as I change over the years, such a powerful song
I have always loved this song from the first moment I heard it way back. Its crazy when you get older and come back to songs like these and you realize how much you relate to it.
When this song came out I felt that it was my anthem. My mom completely ruined me with religious fear and rapture lullabies. The end is near. My dad had just died and I felt like he had given up on life. No one put him in the ground but himself. Feeling too much will make you want to give up. I know that now. Anyway, this song made me feel stronger. Like I wasn’t alone, even though every day I fought not to feel that way. As an obnoxious teenager I played this song over and over and over. People hear this song and they think of me and I love that music can imprint like that. Years later I am grown with kids of my own and listening to this takes me right back to those days. It’s bittersweet. I will forever love this song with all my heart. ❤️
Discovered these acoustic versions getting clean off opiates. 3 weeks clean and still giving me chills. Thank you Smile Empty Soul. I'm smiling over here
This track guided my days from 03 when it came out until 07 when I graduated and moved out. Love singing this one! I'm really diggin this acoustic version hell yeah
Smile Empty Soul has been helping me through a very hard time in my life, and this song motivates me to want to pursue my true passion, which is music. So with that said, I Just want to say Thank You Sean for inspiring me to do what I love ❤🤘you're my #Hero
Man thanks for this jewel...it's one of the songs that brings me right back to m teenage years and gives me the feeling we had old souls back than feeling this way....thanks for this from the bottom of my ❤️
Smile Empty Soul has been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them. I totally agree with Ricardo below me, very underrated band. Thanks for putting your heart & soul into it like you do, we can certainly feel it.
Great!! Great!!!💯💕💕💯 Absolutely REAL!!! Honest, True, From your heart ! This song hits home for me also. Ifeel it fills my heart !!💕💕 Seriously wiping the tears as I'm typing!!! 💕💕💕💯💯Greatness!!!
Saw these guys 15 years ago at lokoboozoka in fitchburg mass. What a great performance. And here i am turning 30 tomorrow and battling my alcoholic addiction. Now i trully understand
I love this song so much, man. Its special to me. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Sean. You guys are awesome. And you are all humble too, which makes me like you all that much more. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🖖🏼✌🏼
One of my favorite albums of all time. I can't believe I just discovered this TH-cam channel. Please keep the videos coming. Excellent songwriting, the true definition of hidden gems.
Sean, I just want to let you know you're the one who pulled me out of a deep dark depression with this song and with bottom of a bottle, man I owe you my life, this is literally how both my mom and dad live and I've done the exact opposite to be as successful as I'm trying to be/get. Thanks Man you're a blessing to all of us. Please keep doing what your ment to do in this life. Making music and filling the hearts everyone who feel alone in this cruel world
If there’s any testament to SES, his vocals and playing are always perfect. His voice has virtually not changed at all. FUCK, why are can’t they just be huge like 3DG and Seether were.
seen these dudes at studio 7 in seattle back in the day it was dope. got on their bus to blaze some chronic with the boys before the show amazing night
I remember the first part of this song being me in high school and now in 2020 im the 2nd half. Truly an amazing song I remember seeing you guys when I was 15
I truly dont understand why this band is so underrated. They are awesome. Regards from Costa Rica
There music is way to real for this world to understand !
They came out with a ton of heavy-hitting bands, they toured a ton and did decent but were labeled as a one hit wonder because only one track was advertised"bottom of the bottle"
Actually they used to be someone back in the day a while ago.. And something happened with their record label and they got buried somehow then TH-cam came out in their starting to make a comeback
He's too nasally.
@@TheCharillz23 That's because he was in a car accident he has a problem With his nasal passage.. Listen to what he made when he was younger
Seriously cannot get enough of these clean acoustic versions... 😍
Flawless
Amen
Silhouettes gets me every time- EPIC song!!! And many others of theirs. Fantastic lyricist
I can't believe that he's singing my life. My father committed suicide when we were young due to depression. But before that my mom was always mocked by our relatives because we're poor as rat. And now here I am and soon to be a father. All I wanted will be a better story and I don't want the past to happen again
You will do great. Blessings
You can do it mate. I believe in you.
God bless i relate as well my father was blown in half by a sawed off shotgun by his girlfriends crazy fucking dad that had come off meds and the fucker got away with it insainty i know bot what hea singing about but i just relate idk it hits home
Everything will work out, brother. I struggle with a lot as a father. We do it every day for them
Sitting in a rocket chair looking outside the window in the night 🌉 looking at the moon just listening to this masterpiece doesn't get anymore peaceful
Anyone listening to this beautiful Song in 2024
Yes!
Still me!
He still sounds so young! I remember listening when I was 20 and im 36. Love this song...
Same
This band should have been bigger then what they are.I remember hearing this song when it came out in 2003 I got chills then and still get chills to this day.
YUP. This, exactly.
Yes, they shouldve blown up big, but in a way im kinda of glad they didnt. Its kind of become a little hidden gem for those of us who do know them.
Yes I really agree with you my friend this is the best song smile empty soul has ever made everytime I hear this song it just gives me chills this song speaks to me in so many ways
Idk I love California's Lonely just as much. I was obsessed with this band for a decade. Every album, every b side, everything. Their second album to me is the greatest secret albulm ever
I was 13 when this album came out and I loved it. I still love it. It's a shame that they only really had a bit of the spotlight for like a year. That whole debut album was amazing.
Silhouettes helped me through a lot of shit one of my favorite songs by smile empty soul thanks for doing this acoustic video
Man I havent listened to this dude in years and this randomly popped in my feed. Damn man, like right in the guts. Thank you.
Same
It's a punch of nostalgia right in the gut man. So good.
Take that shit!
Here i am 18 yrs later. This band hit at the right time for me back then
I am living for these accoustic versions! Sean's voice and talent is a blessing. Still obsessed with these songs even 10 years later. 🖤
I can listen to this song in 2019 and Smile now. I made it past a lot of dark times in my life, because of Smile Empty Soul's music through out the years. I tried to see them live in December 2009 in Seattle at El Corazon, but they had to cancel due to weather, and I never got to see them, here we are 10 years later. I hope I get to see you guys someday.
Such an awesome tune! ❤️🤘🏼💀👍🏼🔥
This song has helped me to shape my adulthood. His lyrics ring in my heart. I know what I don't want to be.
I've been listening to this song for 10 years. I thought I'd never see it preformed again. Thank you.
When you see an acoustic version of a song that was performed over 10 years ago, you gotta know that you are going to listen to real lyrics... From the heart.
This song still hurts as much as the first time I heard it.
I cherish it. It means so much to me. Thank you.
This song got me through some tough times when i was younger. Still a good song and still relevant today
Acoustic is such a game changer with their songs.
Not sure why yesterday is the first time I’ve ever even heard of this band but seems like they shoulda been way more popular
This song is a masterpiece. Such wonderful memories driving around rocking out to this song and whole album.
Your music has helped me through so much. I'm so glad you're still active with it, I look forward to these acoustic renditions ♥️
Lyrics
Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
They won't let me go the wrong way
My mother taught me all the fables, told me how
In the end all the sinners have to pay
But
I don't want to live like my mother
I don't want to let fear rule my life
And I don't want to live like my father
I don't want to give up before I die
He worked so hard his bones are breaking
He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
I don't ever want to end up like he did
And
I don't want to live like my mother
I don't want to let fear rule my life
And I don't want to live like my father
I don't want to give up before I die
When I have kids
I won't put any chains on their wrists, I won't
I'll tell them this
There's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough
I don't want to live like my mother
I don't want to let fear rule my life
And I don't want to live like my father
I don't want to give up before I die
I don't want to live like my mother
I don't want to let fear rule my life
And I don't want to live like my father
I don't want to give up before I die
I don't want to live like my mother
I don't want to let fear rule my life
And I don't want to live like my father
I don't want to give up before I die
Thank you
Thanks for lyrics
16 years ago This song changed my life thank you
Probably even later then that but I thank you
This music needs a comeback.. we need more artist like this.
It’s crazy, been listening to this since it came out in 2002/03 era, and the lyrics stayed the same yet the meaning of this song has shifted in so many ways as I change over the years, such a powerful song
Still a phenomenal song after all these years. Very underrated artist! How do we get this song back on the radio again.
So clean, sounds exactly like the recording too, I think he did that perfect, not one mistake.
THE CHILLS, THE THRILLS......THE FUCKING FEELS BRO!!!! Omg this is just as beautiful as it was when the song originally came out
Thank God I found this, so many memories
The chord progressions in this song is amazing 🙌🏻

If there’s any testament to SES, his vocals and playing are always perfect. His voice has virtually not changed at all. FUCK, why are can’t they just be huge like 3DG and Seether were.

Hits harder after seeing my mom be controlled by fear over this past year
