I spent a month in rehab with Gabe. I've heard this all before. Many times. Down to precisely the exact choice of words.
The dude is filled with more raw musical talent than i have ever seen, and i know a lot of musicians. He is a real guy, with real hurt and pain, and i like him. I would have even said we were friends during the month we spent together.
But this is a performance. This is a rehearsed and curated performance that he has given many times.
I wish I could help him though. I liked him a lot. He is well-hearted…In case you see this, Gabriel, I have the jacket done for you…maybe one day…
A lot of addicts are self aware . Stuck reflecting on their past and the things that they’ll accomplish if they just “do better” in their cycle of wanting better but not doing enough to maintain “better” …. Wanting change but Comforted by their pain and addicted to masking. knowing what theyre doing is hurting them and as long as they do the same thing they’ll never truly have a better life until they change.
Gabriel is one of the most self-aware and coherent, active opiate addicts I've seen on this channel. I have hope for him.
WHO PAID YOU TO POST THAT GARBAGE....SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL THIZ GUY TO GO TAKE A SHOWER AND CONCENTRATE ON HIS MUSIC INSTEAD OF THIS TRASH ROCK AND ROLL GARBAGE FROM THE 80S AND 90S...
Lots of us are .. & some of us manage to stay productive members of society - working daily. ..to boot!
I even read a couple books each year …
(you would not believe how many people who first meet me think It’s sooooo ODD because I have a job & I do “normal” people things … lol .. usually off the bat it’s assumed I’m a cop , actually … then once I smoke em out a few times they see I’m just an odd fuckin duck & I work hard for my money )
@@krystlesmith9810
I SMELL PR STUNT....
@@VOLCAL me too, seems Mark may need to hire a screener, and a drug test . For some reason he seems too smooth and too many "hot buttons" hit. He lost me when he talks about his Time in the streets, 3 card Monty? People in the streets do recognize him?
@@mcluvin65 People still did the 3 card Monte thing on the subway in Chicago, last time I was there. Of course, that was 25 years ago…
I’d love an update on this man. He’s so artistic, intelligent, articulate and interesting. I hope he finds his light.
Yeah, he has an amazing peronality. But whom I would really like to see again is my man Matthew.
Plus he’s so good looking!
He's missing. No one can find him. Skid row.
@@raelene101that’s so sad.....hopefully he left it
People need to quit brining in abusive partners into their children’s lives🤬
What about into their own lives? Usually it isn't just the children who are abused. It would be better if people stop being abusive, but that can only happen when people get help. Help is very expensive in the US, and people need 2/3 jobs just to have the minimum.
Exactly.. after my mom left my dad, because he was abusive to both of us, she never dated after that and I asked her why and she said that ( mom's opinion of course lol) I was a beautiful girl and she never wanted to take a chance of any man laying his paws on me.. and I wish every parent cared about there children the way my mom cared for me.
Or, just dont bring partners into your child's life at all. Is it really so hard for people to give their children one hundred percent?
Sighs. 😪💔😡
@@DivinityAwakened Yes, yes it is. Thats why I'm an anti-natalist.
A man who sits and holds a rose has a gentle soul. Gabriel you'll go somewhere stay focused and please be safe in all you do.
Which would make it a nightmare for him out there, if he didn't have a life of experience dealing with tough environments.
@@billg7205 My experience with adversity is that it never feels ok no matter what age or circumstance. Today's hurt is just as shocking and maddening and raw as yesterday's possibly because our responses to traumatic events, if they are to do so, are stored in our system. On the contrary, the more adversity the less resilience is often the outcome. However, if someone experiences a mood that Is without hope or love then they may convince themselves that they don't want to live and they may act Accordingly by exposing oneself to riskier situations. If you survive then you might feel less hopeless, more motivated. Your actions follow each mood Accordingly. Your mood is understandable because of the many barriers in our society, the lack of everything good including people, and deprivation from basic needs. From poor sleep to hunger to withdraw to isolation. It all contributes to our resilience, and lack thereof.
It’s a prop…
He must have a gentle soul because he's sitting and holding a rose! That's Brilliant insight!
@@Shoutinthewind I would use the opportunity as a prop just like him, in this situation. It doesn't imply that it's not also a genuine gesture. These people are broke and on the street. It's common sense that he would use this opportunity to promote himself so that someone might help him out.
Mark, please try to do a follow-up interview with this young man. Emotional support from the public may be the drive that he needs to set himself free. And if he can find the strength to turn this experience into musical work, it may be an outlet that will allow him to help many, and it can also give him back a sense of purpose.
Fear of success can often be stronger than fear of failure.
It's more being held back by others perception of you, and internalizing this oppression.
You can see the potential through the addiction here, you can feel it fighting back when he speaks. It's so much more evident than some other subjects. You're so close to the breakthrough man, keep fighting. I hope something guides you to the spark you're looking for.
Coming from an opiate addict in recovery myself, this is my fav & imo most well written comment thus far on this vid. Best words possible for this young man. That shit hit home for me too tho lmao ty.🖤🖤
Beautifully said
@@anthonyt7813 took the words right out of mouth.
💯💯💯
Amen. This beautiful soul of a young man can be saved and I believe it will happen.🙏
His empathy and understanding for his own mother is such a big part of healing, parents can not give what they never had until they are shown how. I hope they both heal from this 🖤
Amen 🙏🤲
So true
I am his mother. I am looking for Gabe. I have had to file a missing persons report on him. We have not seen him for a year. He stopped calling 6 months ago. His best friend from Louisiana went to look for him and spent all his money. We horrifically have been checking the morgue and the LACJ. He’s not there. I don’t do social media. Please let people know. I have almost lost Gabe twice now. I am disabled. I have chronic conditions that I know will kill me if something happens to him. Please call the missing persons detectives office at the Hollywood Division of the LAPD. If you have any information on the whereabouts of Gabriel Glenn.
@@gabesma6725 lol u need monies
@@gabesma6725PLEASE let me know if Gabriel is ok now🙏and are you ok? Whatever the true story is, I know Hollywood’s story isn’t it. Please, both of you be ok.🙏
I started this video expecting something similar to the other fentanyl addiction videos. Gabriel’s eloquence was so familiar though I didn’t recognize his face. Someone in my memory once spoke the way he did, smile the way he smiled, just a bit awkward but in a suave cool way. After seeing a couple comments about who the love of his life was, I came across his Instagram. I WORKED WITH GABRIEL IN HOUMA!!!! Cristiano’s! The job was shit, but he was so kind. Gentle, but not in a way that invites you to walk on him. Smart as a hell. Always making us laugh to make side work less daunting. Patrons loved him. I remember him being a musician! I’m happy to see he made dreams come true, even if this season doesn’t look the same as others. INSANE how small the world can be. My friend, you are so genuine to your core. Your life, your heart will find it’s way back to happy. Can’t wait to hear what you release next. You’re a star ✨
LOVE FROM LOUISIANA!!!
“… even if this season doesn’t look the same as others”
I really freaking dig that man. Even though that wasn’t intended for me, thank you for saying that. I really needed to hear that 💜 the universe works in mysterious ways, & reading those gracious words made something click inside my brain. So from one stranger to another, from the bits of my heart, thank you 🫶🏼 I hope Gabriel finds this comment, & those words work their ✨magic✨on him in the same way
Awwww, that’s so cool that you recognized your friend. That’s so cool and that really warmed my heart. I could tell what a beautiful soul he is and your description of him confirmed that. What a sweetheart. I was sort of thinking this wasn’t the same Gabriel but it is? I really, really hope he’s ok now. You never know with Hollywood. They make things happen the way that they want to. I just hope and pray that he really is ok now.
Gabriel is so articulate and coherent... so sad that this addiction doesn't let him live a normal life. I hear people like him talk and it's so hard for me to realize they have such a serious addiction that can take their life away...

I agree, I actually just commented how I like this guy!! I truly hope he gets help to get off that dangerous fentanyl and grow into the musician he's destined to be....sobriety will get him there so much faster... I wish him all the best 💯🔥🔥💙
For those curious: I checked out his music...he is an incredible talent. I wish his trip to sobriety soon. This was an eye opener interview.
Are you able to share a link or name to search up? Thanks
Apparently he plays bass in the band trash dogs
@@Will-xf3qe thanks
@@Will-xf3qe he's the singer. Plays bass when they don't have a bass player.
Looks like he dated Paris Jackson
Plenty of musicians have been horribly addicted to heavy drugs. Some make it and some don’t. I hope Gabriel is one of those who make it. Please get help and get clean. You have such a compassionate and driven soul. Don’t settle.
Yeah he reminds me of Mac Miller.
Gabriel is a well-spoken young man. Hopefully, he'll be able to face his pain, like he said, before it's too late.
Man I love this stuff. To see the world through other peoples eyes. They way they view it. To hear their struggles. As humans we all have problems but not everyone wants to share them.

@@superdupersnowflake
HIS PR GUY TOLD HIM TO DO THIS INTERVIEW....ITLL BE GOOD TO GET HIS IMAGE OUT THERE..
Please update on Gabriel, I think of him often.
Crazy how talented his band Trash Dogs are! I just watched a music video and great musicians!!! Gabe, you’re such a well spoken talented dude! I wish you the best of luck on your musical journey!
I listened to his band The Soundflowers, which is a duo with his girlfriend, Paris Jackson, and they both sound incredible together. She definitely has MJ’s pitch perfect voice. It’s a shame he ended up on skid row.
@@professorvoluck9311 do you think he ended up there not only due to his opioid addiction but also the fact that COVID hit and thus the demise of his relationship?
I just listened to “Blue Jane”. Great music!
TH-cam this kid and you can watch his music. His name is Gabriel Glenn. He actually was dating Michael Jackson's daughter for a while. It's crazy how far he's fallen. The trauma that so many people go through as a child often pops up later in life, to drag you back where you came from. I hope people watching this who have similar experiences can see this as a learning tool and a what not to do.
It’s a classic story, but there exists room for redemption
Wow
I’ll go check him out in utube
I pray he gets his life together
🙏🙌🙌
He is such an insanely talented musician. He really is brilliant. I hope so much that he can come out of this.
Yeah, DON’T let the Evil Hollywood Elite grab hold of you. They are unfortunately very powerful and greedy. They will orchestrate your rise and fall.
Not only is this guy physically beautiful, he has such a bright inner light--even through his addiction, the abuse he's endured, and everything else that life has thrown at him--he still shines do brightly through all that!! So much potential!!! Handsome as can be, intelligent, insightful, talented... Please keep up with this one and provide us with updates!! Much love from Birmingham, Alabama 🤘🤘🤘
Living life and doing fentanyl is a hard thing to balance. That’s why so many of us who are juggling both eventually stop doing one.
A musician with no guitar, I hope chooses life real soon.
Wat up Eyes? Hoping your day goes righteously💕
That is the most simple, succinct summation of life with an opiate addiction I have ever read! It is not sustainable, especially once youth is no longer in the mix.
@Jaded Monk I’m good😁 How’s Joshua Tree treating you, green eyed lady?
Very true! 2 months and 7 days sober today
For those that don't know.... Gabriel had a tv show as well with the "love of his life" who happens to be Paris Jackson (MJ's daughter). The show covered their promotion and touring for their former band, The Soundflowers.
it's really sad that his Stepdad had such a hold on him like that, it's much harder to see abuse from someone who we look up to so much
THE GUY IS SUCH A WANNABE...

MAKING IT PAST 27 AINT AN ACHIEVEMENT EXCEPT FOR LOSERS...
So true....I can only imagine his struggle dealing with that...I wish him sobriety and healthy mental health moving forward, as he has so very much potential 💯💖💖💖
@@VOLCAL Are you having a mental breakdown and taking it out on this TH-cam video comment section? Nothing your saying is logical so it's just bizzare how much of an ass you're making of yourself
And the mother did nothing because she stayed married to him 5 more years. I couldn’t be with someone abusing my child.
Covid was the perfect setting. Isolation is an addicts worst nightmare…
Yep. Boredom was the enemy in all my addictions.
2020 is how I got away from everything
@@Alritealritealrite congratulations remember one day at a time. All of our life decisions and experiences are different. Covid caused my relapse personally. Now I’m trying to get off methadone one day at a time. I’ll be down 40mg from my stabilization because fentanyl caused my stabilization to way higher than ever before heroin made my stabilization like 60 to 70mg to begin with but fentanyl caused my stabilization to be like 100mg! It was crazy!
@@supermeansadie6753 sounds like you're doing pretty good. Just remember how dangerous relapses are when it comes to Fentanyl. My first overdose was after about 3 months without and I did a very little amount and ended up in the emergency room. After that I didn't care what happened and I was very Reckless. For me things were getting really bad right before covid hit and that was a way for me to disappear. I used Kratom and still use it. I need to wean off of it but it's a crutch. TH-cam is the only social media I use because I know it wouldn't take long after I put myself out there for people to start showing up again. I do know if I get to that point again I'm just staying there. Before go get it people were dying and Facebook just became a place to post your condolences and then keep doing what you were doing. Good luck. Sounds like you got a good chance
I relate to his story all this potential kicked to the curb but keeping your cool on the brink of disaster. Finally at forty, my lowest point (I couldn't figure how to pack a few possessions into a paper bag) I checked into a LA county rehab. After being released it took 3 years until the obsession subsided. My reputation slowly returned as an artist and designer and eventually opened my own businesses. At 73 I'm still clean and sober for 33 years, still working on my businesses with partners living quietly and comfortably. I hope Gabriel finds his own moment of clarity and that it takes hold of him.
How did you get yourself back. I'm sure you know what I mean by that. I've been addicted to opiates since I was 13 or 14 and I'm 41 years old but got off heroin and methadone and Xanax at the same time 3 years ago but I've been on Suboxone ever since and because of our situation my family is now struggling financially because of the prices of everything gone up and the money stay the same I can no longer afford my medication and I'm scared that I'm going to go back and die I've never felt right since getting clean I suppose there's permanent damage if you have any pointers I gladly accept anything
@@2bit2strokes38hi how are you,your situation is very challenging but hope you are going through well, it's very frustrating to be suffering from this disease but I keep believing that we will be back home safe,God bless you.
So much potential. So well spoken, good looking and beautiful teeth. I hope he gets clean and sorts out the past and moves on. Best of luck to this kid!

They didn't know they were using?
I'm so sorry for your loss... I hate that this horrible drug is taking so many from us all. Sending my condolences and a huge virtual hug 🤗 ❤
Just the way he speaks, you can tell he’s a brilliant writer I pray he gets well and becomes everything he deserves would love to hear him play
I see Gabriel having the most potential of anyone you've interviewed so far. I hope he gets his life back together and becomes famous with his music.
I lost my brother to fentanyl last year. He overdosed about five months after his wife did. They left behind three year old twin boys. It's nearly impossible to get off of and deadly, far more so than heroin. Whenever I see these interviews I feel like I'm listening to a dead person talking.
I'm sorry about ur brother, his wife, & the boys left behind. 😔
My condolences . My heart breaks for the boys , hope they are okay and loved 🤍
Thank you, I too feel very sad for the boys and over the loss of my brother and sister-in-law. My sister and her husband are doing a wonderful job raising them and they are very loved by us all. The boys understand their losses but only within their capacity.
When told their mommy died they cried and asked "but why?", "but I love her", they just couldn't understand how a person as important as their mommy, who they loved more than anyone else in the world, could die and they will never see her again.
When their daddy died they experienced the same difficulties comprehending such profound loss. The morning after his funeral one of the boys sat next to me and said "my heart was broken last night", I said "yes I know your heart feels broken", he looked me straight in the eyes and told me "my daddy died". Sadly they understand but unfortunately only as well as young children can.
The reason I say that is, days will come when they more and more fully understand what happened to their parents and I believe they will have to process their loss and grief many times at different stages of their lives, as their abilities allow them, due to their profound losses occurring at such a tender age.
My brother and his wife went from owning a successful business, nice house, two cars and raising their beautiful boys to losing everything and both dying within two years of getting addicted to Heroin/Fentanyl (the Fentanyl killed them).
When my sister-in-law died they'd already lost everything and were staying in a little trailer. My sister and her husband already had the boys. My brother found her in their bedroom, went into shock and never recovered. That very night he began sleeping outside in a hammock in the backyard, homelessness soon followed.
Early morning, five months later, my brother died alone on the ground in a Florida homeless encampment. Everything he owned was in his pockets, returned by the coroner; a lighter, a little broken flashlight and $3.16 all in loose change.
The sorrow and loss experienced by our family is indescribable. I also learned to not even try to judge users. The faces of Fentanyl addicts are tragic shells of the people they really are, their behavior unrecognizable compared to the lives they once lived.
They are terminally ill with an addiction to a drug so powerful they absolutely will die without intensive medical care and assistance to get off it. Fentanyl is by far the most addictive and dangerous drug to ever hit the streets.
Drugs being used now are so deadly that last year every single day on average 305 families in the U.S. received the same sickening life shattering news we did. My brother and his wife were two of 107,375 people killed by them.
This is heartbreaking. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible for the little ones left behind. Condolences to you and your family.

Interesting interview, I feel honoured to listen to what feels like a heart-to-heart conversation between two friends; organic as always.The 'fails' are a natural part of the learning experience, extremely hard to see at the time though. There is always a way, however, the path is rarely a straight one. Wishing nothing but the best for you Gabriel and looking forward to an update video; something tells me you are going to be (more than) OK. Care and respect to you and Mark.

I recorded bass and some guitar on the TrashDogs record. If you see Gabe again, tell him I said hi and I hope we all get to play together some day.
Bullshit you did. Lyin fucking sob
❤❤
I hope you find the courage to face your pain. Peace be with you
Would love a Gabriel update. what a beautiful yet broken soul
This adorable young man had it all!! I just read about him and his quite famous ex girlfriend. I’m sorry for you, Gabriel. I hope you can make a comeback. I listened to TrashDogs and Sound Flower tracks and they’re AWESOME!! Please work to get straight. You’re very talented.
He doesn't admit it in the video but like everyone else on skid row he is using meth as well and that is where the REAL fall happens. Hard and fast. I'm a grown man and it almost brings me to tears. I know what's next.
Gabriel is a smart, talented and very articulate. I pray he is able to get into rehab and gets the connections he needs to get his help he needs, and hoping he can get back into his passion of music. Gabriel you are truly a unique soul! Blessings to you. Ty Mark for sharing with us all these wonderful unique souls that teach us what life is outside our own bubbles. TY
I heard Gabriel is missing, hope and pray he is found safe! Got him and Paris Jackson’s music when they were together and were the Soundflowers
Omg just googled him!!!! So humble in so many ways: found a gorgeous video duet with Paris Jackson :The Sound flowers 💐: he is an amazing singer and musician. She spoke so highly of him too and the great love they shared. I have great hope for him: really hope he gets his life back on track again. 💜💜
As I was listening to this video I thought about how much Gabriel seems like a good guy and how something was familiar about him. Then he said The Soundflowers and I had to pause and go back. And then I realized I did know him because I listened to his bands! I didn't recognize him because of his different haircut but it all came back to me when he started talking about the Trash Dogs and The Soundflowers. I was actually a big fan of The Sunflowers. I listened to their EP and I really thought he a PK were going to go somewhere with it. Just when it seemed like they were going to...it was over. I had been so confused, especially because I thought he and PK were a beautiful couple. I had actually been following her for some time and I thought for sure that he was the one she was going to spend the rest of her life with. I continued to follow Gabriel on Instagram for a while hoping he would at least take his music somewhere but he eventually stopped posting and I haven't heard from him in a long time. At the time I knew nothing about his struggles with his childhood and sobriety and I'm very sad to hear that he's found himself in these circumstances. Gabriel, i know you're a good guy and I hope you can overcome everything you've been though and find a way to be successful in your music.
Did Gabriel say his second stepfather sexually abused him ? He speaks so fast I couldn't catch it .He is so intelligent and aware it would be wonderful to see him kick addiction and thrive . Gorgeous, intelligent young man .
Gabriel, you wrote songs in about 90% of the words you spoke in this interview!!! You were incredibly poetic in the way you spoke. I hear such carefully chosen words in most of your responses and yet you don't even appear to try! It just flows so naturally from you! Charming and adorable to boot!!! I hope by the majority of these comments on here you can tell how much we believe in you. You are still so young and there is so much life out there for you to have, which includes the family you already have and the one that you will make. I know you will have a fight ahead of you in order to leave your addiction behind but I'm terrified for you if you don't find the urgency in acting on it now!!! Your next high can be your last! What a massive tragedy it would be if we....YOU didn't get to see your light really shine from an accidental.... whatever may come from the Russian roulette you are playing now! I'm a fan already!!! Let us hear you sing again! Literally and metaphorically!!! Hugs and kisses Mark! Phenomenal!!
He has such a beautiful voice. I hope someone can reach him. I really loved him and PK together. Super sorry to hear how it ended. She is a wonderful girl and He looked like her prince for a minute there.
I think Gabriel needs to let go of his ex. It's the only way he can get out of the slump he's in.
Sending love and strength to you Gabriel. I believe in you. Can’t wait for an update hopefully you are in the sunshine of the spirit and back making records.
He’s so articulate and self aware. It seems he’s smart enough to not self destruct. I hope he continues with his passion and takes better care of himself.
Such a pleasure to listen to your life story Gabriel!
There are so many beautiful lyrics peppered throughout 🖤🖤🖤
I could listen to him talk all day; so articulate and self-reflecting/introspective I really hope he gets out the maze
Amazing conversation. This guy has an impressive vocabulary. Very well spoken and introspective. Lot of depth here. And some wisdom born from the ashes.
I relate to this dude in so many ways. It's like learning things about myself which I never had words for before.
Another in a series of incredibly well spoke, self aware, intelligent people who have spiraled down into addiction and depravity. This guy is special.
You are such an awesome,impressive person Gabriel,with so many riches available to you .Slow down,STOP thinking so much you build a negative future for yourself and that is not how it's going to to be so stop building it for yourself and following that. You are a great young man and much awaits you. We only find rubies in the darkness.🌻🌻I'm a grandma in N.Z. and have faith in you,will send you blessings every day, believe in Gabriel hes ok.💖
WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS GROW THE F UP....
THE 90S CALLED....THEY WANT THEIR ROCK AND ROLL STEREOTYPES BACK...
HE REALLY WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT HE LIVED A WILD LIFE ABD THAT MAKING PAST 27 WAS AN ACHIEVEMENT...BRO PLEASE....GO GET A REAL JOB...
THESE KINDS OF CHARACTERS ARE SUCH LOSERS....THEY CANT JUST LIVE THEIR LIVES FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC BUT GOTTA SEEK OUT THAT ROCK AND ROLL OR HIP HOP DRAMA FAKE WIDE LIFE LIFESTYLE JUST SO THEY CAN TELL STORIES WHILE WASTING THEIR TALENTS, IF THEY HAD ANY, AWAY.....THE GUY COMES OFF AS PRETETENTIOUS AS YOU CAN GET WHILE NAME DROPPING AS MANY PEOPLE AS HE COULD....BRO, ALL TGE STORIES ARE JUST MANUFACTURED DRAMA...JUST STICK TO THE MUSIC AND STOP TRYING TO LIVE THAT FAKE LIFE. THAT ROAD IS FILLED WITH HOMELESS JUNKIES.....DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF...
What a beautiful comment! It resonates with me as I can actually feel the sincerity in your words, I truly hope Gabriel sees this comment and gets the same positive feeling I just got, and that he makes it away from drugs on his life's journey. Have a beautiful day 😊 and take care, beautiful soul ❤
This makes me so sad, he’s such a smart intelligent and has a beautiful soul. What a shame, so much potential here! I hope he finds his way out. I myself was a very heavy oxycontin addict and turned to heroin for the last 2 months of my addiction. I got help and got out of that lifestyle right before the fentanyl epidemic started. Oxy & heroin was hard enough to get off of, so I can’t even imagine how hard it is to get off of something like that. I have so much empathy for people struggling with opiate addictions & especially fentanyl. I truly hope he finds his way out and get’s better, I can tell he has what it takes to be a great musician. If you’re reading this Gabriel, I have a song lyric that always helped me.
“Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right” - The Grateful Dead, Scarlet Begonias
I hope you find the light, you’re life is worth so much more ❤️
I'm glad he's still alive. He is a very interesting person. I hope life gets better for him
I could sit and listen to you interview this young man for days. Please keep up with him.
What a kind, thoughtful, and intelligent human being.
Y'all do realize that he is Paris Jackson's ex, as in her dad was The Michael Jackson. Paris and Gabe were The Soundflowers. She is the underage girl he met at the Rainbow Room and rehab girlfriend he is talking about. Paris Jackson is how all those famous connections happened. Paris did a talk episode with Willow Smith about the breakup in Aug 2020.
It's crazy he didn't name drop her
@@jessicajennifer9827 he’s a class act.
Yeah she's the idiot that got him back on drugs. He was doing ok before her
ok🤷🏾♂️and
@@julielarson3107 you mean Hollywood delusional
Hard to believe that Gabriel Glenn has reached this level of self abuse - self sabotage. He's so talented and to choose this lifestyle for a drug is so self deprecating. He has so much he could give to himself, to others and to the world. He doesn't love himself enough to care, which is sad. Addiction is such a horrible cycle of remaining an adolescent. And far too easy than being a responsible adult. I came to Gabe's channel hoping to listen to some new music and this popped up in my feed. But Gabriel, you can do it! You can beat this! You have it in you to do whatever it takes. Just do it!! Love, light and peace man. Praying for your complete recovery...
Addiction is much more complex than people "not wanting to be an adult" and remaining "an adolescent". You're either a kid yourself or just completely clueless yet you might mean well. Either way, just avoid the comments and the judgments if you have never dealt with addiction or anyone close to you ( which is clearly the case).
@@abocrombieeThank you for this comment.
What a wonderful person.....so clear headed....I wish the best for him. Top 10 interview, Mark!!!
This is without a doubt my favourite interview. Gabriel is wonderfully articulate. He spoke to my soul when he shared that he walks around with hurt. I wish these men who raise us knew the lasting trauma they have caused. I am very proud of Gabriel as it takes a great deal of strength to look at our childhood to figure out why we behave the way we do. You got this Gabriel! 💯🙏🏻🎸🎼
Wow from dating Paris Jackson to the streets. Such a sad story.
Please go to @help_findgabe
What an amazing guy. So articulate, which you don't expect all the time.
What an eloquent, brilliant, deep hearted soul!!! I pray that hes simply able to find peace within himself...I read something years ago...to find peace with ones shadow....I pray that hes able to bless with his creativity once again....what beautiful words he spoke.
Covid has been so destructive to this world, not only medically speaking but it has wreaked havoc on our mental health. This young man told his story with such creativity and it captured my attention. So sad to see someone with such great potential battle such awful demons. God bless you, Gabriel and I sure do hope you find your way back to a better life. You’re worth it! 🙏🏼
Gabriel, you’re an artist - you have a front row seat to your own redemption and the countless social critiques you have intimate expertise on. Write/sing the story of your come up so others can follow your path!
Sometimes the stories of drug addiction can become rather similar but every now and then you get one like this where the subject is so intelligent and can talk sensibly about what it is costing him in lost relationships and lost dreams. Despite being a long time addict Gabriel has evidently managed to remain in control of his mental capacity for critical analysis and rational thinking. I hope he is close to facing his fears, overcoming his addiction and fulfilling his rock star dreams.
Smart and introspective... I hope Gabe gets his life together. He has a lot to give.
I have cometo known this channel thru a facebook page, and i really admire the way you speak with poeple. best channel subscription ever.
Extremely intelligent and interesting young man. Obviously quite resilient as well. I wish him the best of luck in all of his endeavors.
Hearing him talk about his childhood abuse, & the tone in his voice... then how he shifts to talking about his music & finding his true love... the dichotomy is startling.
I hope he gets clean, & gets back to making music. Too often, we lose what could have been the most beautiful music that could ever happen to drug addiction. It silences their song, silences their story. As heartbreaking as the vicious grip of drug addiction is, for someone like me who lives off the beauty of music, the risk of losing his song is so much worse.
Gabriel, if Mark manages to catch up with you again, please. Please try rehab again. I know it’s so scary, bc you’re sad is so comforting. But facing your demons is so much more gratifying than numbing yourself out to them, or constantly exhasting yourself by running from them.
The sun rises tomorrow. You just need to be there to see it.
You can make the change. Deal with the pain, face it front on and move to a higher place. You have so much potential and so much to share. 🙏🏼
This was a great interview, This guy is so smart and Has a lot of life ahead of him . I so hope he gets clean. He can put his life together and get it back to where his life will be great .Everything he has been thru is part of who he his and his personality and talent he can be such of an inspreation to so many .
Omg this is so good. The words. Concepts. I’m going to write a song today. I never thought of therapy and words and music like this. Thank you 🙏
Gabriel you are incredibly insightful and articulate. I downloaded the Soundflowers EP and wow super super talented as well. Don’t throw it away. You are worthy and I know you can pull yourself out of this. Good luck to you.
I really cannot get over this one. This is a great example of what opiates can do to mess up your perspective. This guy is homeless, completely addicted, and no real plan to get out of it or end in sight. But yet, when you hear him talk, it sound like nothings wrong at all! Like we should be taking him seriously. Same with some of the ones on here who are homeless junkies but still consider themselves to be a great father/parents.
No matter how bad life is, opiates make everything seem just fine, like nothings wrong. This guy is high out of his gourd in this interview.
He truly has so much potential and intelligence. I feel like he is close to addressing that fear he is talking about, but it looks different for everyone. It took about 7 years of CONSTANT treatment programs and doctors for me to get out completely. As a musician too I know exactly what he's talking about how we feel everything so strongly. As well as the idea that my art comes out easier when I'm feeling those negative emotions more or am in a bad place. Now I've learned to channel those scary feelings into my art instead of looking for anyway to dissociate .
*thank you for all you do SWU*
Gabriel used to date Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson. He was also a member of her band, The Soundflowers (Paris Jackson & Gabriel Glenn) - In The Blue
I have to echo so many of the comments here that, if you're reading this, Gabriel, you have a bright future ahead of you.
Those of us looking for the positive can tell that you have all the makings, in your personal story, to succeed, and make your music career bigger than it ever was. Believe that!
I look forward to the awesome follow-up interview, just before you go on that world tour.
BRILLIANT... also enjoyed his giggle - such a natural...could listen to this over and over. great interview...
Too crazy, dude!
I’m a bassist/vocalist from Madison Wisconsin. Our stories are so similar. My step dad also stepped in and raised me, I called him "dad" as well. He put a short scale fender bass in my hands at 14. But he also was a drug addict, and got my mom strung out on H. He gave me music and alot of anger. He was a semi famous bassist in a band called SOUP from Appleton Wi in the late 60’s. They blew up with there self titled debut. Toured with Cream.
I’m a professional bassist tot his day. Music saved my life. For real.
It sounds like it's going to be a long time before he's ready to leave his "blank space". Always interesting, thanks!
I give Gabriel a A+ for his honesty and loyalty..that means everything to me and he kept real by them to the fullest.
Regardless of experience or occupation, the eloquence of these interviews are always amazing.
He reminds me of someone very close to me but has sobered up and come out the other side (not unscathed, but stronger). I hope something clicks for him. I think because he’s gotten himself to this point he has in a sense given up but it doesn’t need to be that way. He knows exactly what he needs to do and he just need to do it. Don’t waste your life man. You only have one, and it can be really beautiful trust me. You know the pain so there’s no point in hiding from it. It’s manageable. I believe in you.
I feel that…not unscathed. but stronger! That’s why I wouldn’t take a do-over if I could. When I was using I said I would, but now I see that if we can grow through these experiences, it’s a benefit.
plss.. we need an update about this guy. he had so much potential.
Great video. He has spoken some truths everyone needs to hear. Don't think just because someone sells some kind of dope, that it's even truly that. Love how he recognizes that even as a child he was altering his own conciousness and reality without drugs. Most adults are completely unaware of it all while they put their child on a Merry go round, or keep jiggling them, even throwing them in the air...all of it can be predispotitioning for an addiction! He's actually very perceptive and holds a lot of self awareness too. 🙏👍👌💯🎯❤
This young man can definitely be set on the right path. Given the right tools and positive people around him he can achieve what ever he want’s!
