This song is one of the best and most emotional songs I've ever heard.(Edit: From this band.) It made me cry even when I had no idea what it's about, 'cause I was too young to understand. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it didn't get the recognition it deserved.
The vocal abilities Jared Leto has should be illegal. I shouldn't feel this much emotion from one song. The man is a flat out genius, not to mention incredibly talented.
U should not feel this much emotion from 1 song? -U dont listen to real music or what? Jared Leto is not singin he just whispering words or just shouting. Thats why it seems to U that is full of emotion. Cuz whisper and shout always intensify senses.That is a trick,yep:) Dont mix up singin with whispering, talent with common abilities!
***** By the way, the "whispering" is called singing falsetto, a recognised *singing* technique, and the "shouting" is *singing* with a slight growl, another recognised *singing* technique.
***** "Common abilities", What you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this page is now dumber for having read it. If you listen to all his music, His creative talent behind whether its composing and singing or fulfilling an acting role surpasses that of most recent music artists and actors. If you truly believe in that awfully worded statement you made, I would be happy to listen to any recommendations you have.
don't take this the wrong way, but it's kinda funny when you have all that muscles and look so tough but you cry almost everytime you hear this song. loll
Stacey Kershaw ,if you only knew. I'm at the bottom now and I shall rise. Jared as well as the band will never know how many people their multiple talents have helped . The band for obvious reasons and with Jared and his acting. I am tg and between 30STM music and Jared's movie , Texas Buyer's Club , helped me come out . If they only knew.
This song means so much to me. For many reasons, but one in particular. I was on my own for the first time without my parents who were both abroad, and I was with one of my cousins, Ivy, who had been taking care of me when I was a toddler. I considered her being one of my closest friends too. We had a lot of bad times but also the best and good times. We almost did everything together; going to the mall, cooking up some barbeque and watching movies while eating our favorite snack, Cheetos. Almost inseperable. I was also close to her three kids at the time. My brother has a huge age gap from me and when I was small we never really got to spend time with him because he was always busy studying to be a Doctor. So naturally, my cousin Ivy became my older sister and felt like my real sibling. It was a fun time. Then my big brother found out some awful truth; she had been stealing a lot of money from us, whenever my mother sent us money for bills and food. She had been using that money for drugs, and has also been secretly prostituting when she left the house at differing times. She had been pressured by her father and washed up husband to give them money too for whatever agenda they had. Needless to say, my fond respect and friendship with her and also as a result her kids had diminished. She was exiled from our house and because she kept doing drugs and prostitution, she eventually left our town. She left behind an illegitamite kid as well. My best friend and my cousin soon faded away into oblivion, and i haven't seen her in coming 6 years. I hate her for using us but I can't help but remember the good memories we once had. I can't believe the things she did and how long it has been. I miss her a lot. And the most softest memory of her now is listening to this song inside an old shopping place we used to hang and crash out in. It hurts. But sometimes it's a good hurt.
At this very moment i'm listening to this song and i crying. I am filled with every emotion, i am free, i am the person i am to day because of thirty seconds to mars. All of my regret in life is erased when Jared sings, when their music plays, when their message is spread, when the unity of all of us fans fills me with so much emotion i'm overwhemled at how special this life really is. Thank you thirty seconds to mars. You made me who i am.
Roland Baldwin Doesn't matter what name or story you have...I still wish that you and your friend may find peace and true happiness. We're the same when it comes to suffering, my brother. Peace!
I come back to this song in my hardest and most trying of times. 30stm has always been a pillar of support to me and I will always be grateful for their "this is war" album. 8 years later and I still get the same goosebumps as the first time
This song reminds me of a time long lost. When i was young and growing. It reminds me of pain when i was a teenager and had my heart broken, and now it gives me hope that despite everything ill always get back up after each knock down. After each heart break. After losing close friends and family. Ill always stand back up again.
There's nothing else like this song. Build Up, The way he goes up around 3:43 is sheer brilliance. The lyrics are mind blowing also. Vocals are heavenly. Jared you nailed it .
I absolutely love this song, no matter how many times I hear it, it always gives me goosebumps. It has so much meanng and inspires so many people not to give up and to "get back up again"
It's strange, I'm usually the emotionless bastard but when I listen to this song it all changes. I'm brought back to all the good and bad times I've had with friends, lovers, and my family and it just give me the most overwhelming bittersweet tone. Few writers can really make us feel through their music, that's why I believe this is easily one of the best songs I ever listened to.
This is one of my all time favorite songs!!! So much meaning to it really brightened my day. Makes me want to thank 30 seconds to mars for it. This is the reason they are my favorite band.
i am not even surprised that this song was published in 2009.. the best songs come from that time. i love this piece. a true masterpiece, no exquisite embellishments, just Jared's voice and instruments.
My God, what this song has done for me! It’s not an exaggeration to say it has saved my life on more than one occasion. It reminds me of what I have survived, and what I am capable of. Thank you boys ❤️
I like listening to this while walking on the streets, watching people do stuff, look up to the sky, and think of everything that's happening that we don't know of. The fear, the love, the happiness, the killing, the helping, the crying the laughing...
Whenever I feel kicked down, I blare this song really loud in my room and I close my eyes, and just let the music surround me. It's the only song that can bring me back up, fully relaxed, with peace in my mind.
Maybe because this isn't a love song? This a song about not giving up. This is a song that tells us that no matter how many times life breaks you down, you can always get up and fight. That's a song for people who have being through things that are way worst than a heart break. And I'm sorry for people like you, who can see how beautiful and motivating this song is.
Now that was beautiful! The amount of vocal talent he has is absolutely ridiculous. It's so comforting and just, wow. For all my little teen buddies who thinks One Direction are good singers, listen to this!
I usually listen to this song when I can't sleep. It makes me feel like a little child whose father is softly singing him a lullaby to make him feel secure. No matter where, listening to this song make me feel home. And it makes me really really glad to be an echelon ♥
Going through it now.... even loved the band together with my loved one... still we didn't make it. And now i got to get back up again, once more. Music will help me.
you have no idea how much i can relate to this song jared. I have been a single mom for 13 years and I have done everything by myself with my familys help thank god i had them. if it wouldnt have been for god you and my family i wouldnt have made it threw the tuff times love you jared so much xoxo
it's like sometimes you don't need a reason, you just feel empty. and songs like this makes you feel alive again. I'm gonna see 30stm in three weeks and I'm gonna cry so hard. life is beautiful.
Today I feel melancholy in my heart, a great sadness and still find strength to smile, then traveling between spaces, times, songs, sounds, images, I found what I was unconsciously looking for, a song that would embrace me, caress me, give me the strength to continue because I'm losing it day by day, my smile fades and... my heart breathes Again, am I losing hope and faith? I just want to see the sun shine on you
I remember when this song first came out back in 09. First time listening to this song, a flood of emotions came to light. I got chills instantly and knew this would be an epic song. As the song went on, I thought about all the hard times in my life especially the traumatizing ones. This song helped me visualize how God and his son Jesus Christ got me through those moments of pain.
This song just strikes into my heart and just stays there. This is an unbelievably powerful song. I want to keep listening to this song over and over again, even in my death. Keep up the good work Thirty Seconds To Mars! :)
12 years back then I was 14 I only liked it cuz of its music, now I am 26 and I understand every single word, it makes it more sad, How time flies. I have lost so much time, not enjoyed each moment, now I only cry when I look past. I wasted my childhood LOL. Anyone whose 14 or 15 please don't waste your time in sorrows, live your life at the fullest, you won't be getting this time after 20s
This song still breaks my heart. It was like he wrote it about me and my dark journey through 2011. By the end of that year, I got back up, again. But, listening to it - as perfect as this song was for me, just reminds me of all those feelings of despair and how close I was to giving up life a few times during that period. It's such an emotional song and my heart goes out to anyone else that has ever been there.
@SilverFlame819 Wow Thanks for checking in, it's going very good! Just saw this comment of mine from 3 years ago and don't even remember what was the cause of my sadness! So it's just a message to everyone reading this: EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY EVEN IF IT SEEMS HARD NOW! A loss of someone, something, just brings a newer, better and stronger version of yourself! :)
this is music to inspire,music that can make you cry,music that can make you feel every emotion possible,music like this save lifes. this is what music should be like.
Can't believe I didn't bother to listen to this song till now. This is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. It's so calming and the lyrics are poetry like the rest of 30STM songs. If I could end the quest for fire For truth, for love, for my desire My desire And I fell apart, but got back up again
She rests her head on her hand held against the car’s window. She looks outside at the moving city view in the dawn, tired. Sitting on the seat next to the driver, her attendant speaks about the meetings and gatherings she is to attend this week. She doesn’t listen. The fancy car is suddenly put to stop, a problem in engine perhaps, the driver gets out to see. She is led by a trail of thoughts, what is she doing? Is this what she wants? To live a life as some mechanical doll wearing designer dresses and hats, having her hair styled, socializing with people most of them don’t even matter, somehow it feels empty. A butterfly passes by. She quickly turns around to see the way it goes. Butterfly, such a rare sight to see around. Somehow she gets this urge to follow it. She opens the door and the attendant shots up. She breaks into run. The city is silent is silent and peaceful, there are very few people around. She looks around, the butterfly is gone. But she doesn’t want to go back. She takes her black hat off and let the natural curls settle over her shoulders, then she removes her jacket and holds it on her arms. A shop appears on her left but she turns to right and buys a check shirt and jeans from the street retailer, they smile at each other with a thank you. She emerges from a restaurant after changing into more comfortable clothes and dumps the rest. There are more people now that it is noon, though there are clouds all over sky. She roams around, enjoying herself. It is like a journey on its own, she haven’t gone out like this. Suddenly she hears a faint wailing sound and turns around and moves to the direction. A boy is crying, he is by himself, lost. The sea of shadows passes by and no one stops. Won’t anyone look? She is the one then to walk to him. They eat ice cream and then to police station to inform the boy’s family. She departs with a smile and resumes her walk feeling content. The butterfly flies infront of her. She follows it and loses it’s sight again. A strong sea breeze flies her hair from behind. She turns around and looks back and sees a bridge surrounded by sea. She walks on the edge, watching the waves and the designs of clouds above and stops at one point. A drop wets the concrete and she looks up. Rain. It gains it’s strength and soaks her through but she doesn’t move. A kind of laughter opens her mouth that she hasn’t felt before. Her opens her arms wide and shakes her head violently to sprinkle the droplets around. She forgets the world around. She feels alive. It’s like all her emotions have fixed up and are working wild like the pouring. She sneaks into her room and the mirror shows her reflection. She sighs. Her hair is a mess and a part falls infront one of her eye. Make up washed away. And she is in plain clothes no one in her house lets her. She wants to keep it a memory, a good one. She opens the doors to the hall. She is in a simple white gown, her family and acquaintances look at her. In the middle of the talks her eyes meet with a kid who was gaping at her, she recognizes him, smiles and lift a finger to her lips. She turns back to the conversation. (Wrote it while listening to this song, thanks for reading!)
wow, I really liked that. nice to read a story like that that doesn't need dialogue, just only expressions and actions. another was to read this story and try to sync it with the music, makes everything all the bit better. the ending was even better.
it was kinda sarcastic laugh i guess, like maybe he has realized, how shallow his desires were, sort of.. i dunno, just my interpretation (and by he i mean a protagonist of the song, not Leto himself, obviously)
2020 is the worst year of my life. First the pandemic, then my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and my dad had a failed back surgery so he can hardly walk now. Then three people that I know passed away for different reasons, all within close range of each other. To top it off, my fiancé just left me. I can say that I've always liked this song, but never really understood it until now. I can't wait for this year to be over. I can't wait to get up. I'm so tired of crying.
'The night is darkest just before the dawn'. I was a intellectually-priviledged boy who took his intelligence for granted. My arrogance got the best of me and I fell even further into complacency, underachievement, insecurity, denial, narcissism, and finally depression. Thankfully, music, and the ember of my conscience sparked my will to rise above. Now, I'm close to what I should be. I believe there are countless more who can share the lessons they have learned in their struggles, as I have.
No matter how many times I've already heard this song, I always cry before the song even starts, during it, and afterwards. Jared, thank you for healing my broken heart and saving my life. 🥺❤
Sadness , aAger, Love for the lost one..... all comes together and make a legendary song.... Leto let everyone feel the amazing feeling.... very heart shaking lyrics and performed excellently!! This is the art!!!

Heartbreaking lyrics and melody

Me as well.. I listen to it every night before I fall asleep
am i the only one who thinks this song is highly underrated?
no, you're not the only one. This song is simply amazing
Nope 🖤
One of my all-time favorites.
Nope 🤟

Kratchet real original dumbass
13 years later and this song still makes me emotional ❤
Absolutely, its sad that time does flies((
I love how he sings "but got back up again"
Proverbs 24:16 ❤
I cry almost everytime I hear this song
lik if u cri evry tim
don't take this the wrong way, but it's kinda funny when you have all that muscles and look so tough but you cry almost everytime you hear this song. loll
Patricia Adam funny/not funny... this is beauty song and i think that is normal reaction. Even if U r big men with muscles :)
Patricia Adam Gender schema and gender stereotype. We don't want it done to us....
As do I brother ... as do I
Such power in this song.
It's helping me through probably way more than Jared would expect his song to help people.
Never give up.
Get back up
Stacey Kershaw ,if you only knew. I'm at the bottom now and I shall rise. Jared as well as the band will never know how many people their multiple talents have helped . The band for obvious reasons and with Jared and his acting. I am tg and between 30STM music and Jared's movie , Texas Buyer's Club , helped me come out . If they only knew.
MASTERPIECE. I cry every single time i hear this.
Same. The piano entry and the guitar parts are amazing. ♥️
My God, I always get chills with the way this song swells, especially from 4:26 and on. Alibi is the purest definition of beautiful
I've fallen apart, many times, but have always got back up again. This song resonates so much with me. Hope to see them in concert!!!
I have and I hope you do too he's incredible live peace and love echelon
This song still never fails to give me chills over a decade later...masterpiece
Probably one of the greatest and more beautiful songs ever written
This song means so much to me. For many reasons, but one in particular.
I was on my own for the first time without my parents who were both abroad, and I was with one of my cousins, Ivy, who had been taking care of me when I was a toddler.
I considered her being one of my closest friends too. We had a lot of bad times but also the best and good times. We almost did everything together; going to the mall, cooking up some barbeque and watching movies while eating our favorite snack, Cheetos. Almost inseperable. I was also close to her three kids at the time. My brother has a huge age gap from me and when I was small we never really got to spend time with him because he was always busy studying to be a Doctor. So naturally, my cousin Ivy became my older sister and felt like my real sibling. It was a fun time.
Then my big brother found out some awful truth; she had been stealing a lot of money from us, whenever my mother sent us money for bills and food. She had been using that money for drugs, and has also been secretly prostituting when she left the house at differing times. She had been pressured by her father and washed up husband to give them money too for whatever agenda they had.
Needless to say, my fond respect and friendship with her and also as a result her kids had diminished. She was exiled from our house and because she kept doing drugs and prostitution, she eventually left our town. She left behind an illegitamite kid as well. My best friend and my cousin soon faded away into oblivion, and i haven't seen her in coming 6 years. I hate her for using us but I can't help but remember the good memories we once had. I can't believe the things she did and how long it has been.
I miss her a lot. And the most softest memory of her now is listening to this song inside an old shopping place we used to hang and crash out in. It hurts. But sometimes it's a good hurt.
Brother thanks for sharing that.
That's so sad I'm sorry that happened.
We're all part of the Echelon aren't we? All of us are here because we're united by 30TM
Man, that last line.
This song helped me a lot in the dark times when i wanted to give up on everything. " I fell apart, but got back up again" this line is awesome.
At this very moment i'm listening to this song and i crying. I am filled with every emotion, i am free, i am the person i am to day because of thirty seconds to mars. All of my regret in life is erased when Jared sings, when their music plays, when their message is spread, when the unity of all of us fans fills me with so much emotion i'm overwhemled at how special this life really is. Thank you thirty seconds to mars. You made me who i am.
This songs moves so many emotions at once! Jared's feelings in this song are raw, this band is beyond amazing!
For my dear friend. Until we can walk together again. I miss you.
Roland Baldwin Doesn't matter what name or story you have...I still wish that you and your friend may find peace and true happiness. We're the same when it comes to suffering, my brother. Peace!
I miss you too
turn off the lights. turn up the volume
hell yea
It helps me write a book and calm down
I come back to this song in my hardest and most trying of times. 30stm has always been a pillar of support to me and I will always be grateful for their "this is war" album. 8 years later and I still get the same goosebumps as the first time
Wasn't she dating Timberlake?
This song reminds me of a time long lost. When i was young and growing.

THIS IS THE BEST ART/MUSIC PIECE EVER MADE/WRITTEN!!! THANK YOU Thirty Seconds to Mars!! it is a blessing....
I Fell Apart... But Got Back Up Again.. I always remember these lyrics when i'm having a bad day. This song is so powerful
It's not aboud "bad day" buy about setbacks, depression s, and failures. Big difference.
This song is so powerful! It's the only song that can make me feel things I've never felt while listening to a song! It's just absolutely amazing!
I absolutely love this song, no matter how many times I hear it, it always gives me goosebumps. It has so much meanng and inspires so many people not to give up and to "get back up again"

I had forgotten how beautiful and powerful this song is!
This song makes me so peaceful. I remember also when it saved my life. :)
Sunniva me too
In the documentary, Jared referred to this song as "diddling on the piano"
Haha, Jared, this song has changed so much for everyone who listened.
If he only knew.
@@hkpw299 He knows.
This is the true musical art. It is filled with every emotion I have ever felt. Good job Thirty Seconds to Mars. You've made me cry. :')
RIP Chester :( What a great tribute they did for him though. Great band.
I Guess its a tribute years before chester died , other then that R.I.P Chester :(
Jas Gill ❤️❤️😭
At 3:39 before Jared says "My desire" he sounds so incredibly amused.
I know right? I hear that too it sounds like he's smiling or something! 😀
Sandra Q. I love what he sounds like at that time.
As if he chuckled a little, lol
I like listening to this while walking on the streets, watching people do stuff, look up to the sky, and think of everything that's happening that we don't know of. The fear, the love, the happiness, the killing, the helping, the crying the laughing...
Whenever I feel kicked down, I blare this song really loud in my room and I close my eyes, and just let the music surround me. It's the only song that can bring me back up, fully relaxed, with peace in my mind.
That whisper to calm your racing mind and the swell to ignite your soul 💙
Thanks
Maybe because this isn't a love song? This a song about not giving up. This is a song that tells us that no matter how many times life breaks you down, you can always get up and fight. That's a song for people who have being through things that are way worst than a heart break. And I'm sorry for people like you, who can see how beautiful and motivating this song is.
Now that was beautiful! The amount of vocal talent he has is absolutely ridiculous. It's so comforting and just, wow. For all my little teen buddies who thinks One Direction are good singers, listen to this!
Damn you Jared...and your blissful voice
This song always gets me back up. I play it everyday 💗30 Seconds to Mars
I listened this song so much as a teenager now at 28 I'm still in love with how this song got me through dark times
me too
@@miftagunawan9948 100%
I usually listen to this song when I can't sleep. It makes me feel like a little child whose father is softly singing him a lullaby to make him feel secure. No matter where, listening to this song make me feel home. And it makes me really really glad to be an echelon ♥
I listen to this song when I look at my scars, it's so encouraging.
Jill Harris Good Job, keep it up. I'm sure you can always talk to someone! Music is a good distraction.
Definitely my favourite song by them!
Going through it now.... even loved the band together with my loved one... still we didn't make it. And now i got to get back up again, once more. Music will help me.
This is not music...
This is art

Alibi makes me cry every damn time. Damn you Jared and your beautiful voice haha ♡

This resonates within me.
"I feel apart but got back up again"..so beautiful! :)
He sang this on Friday at the show in Atlanta. I just stood there and cried. I absolutely love this song!
it's like sometimes you don't need a reason, you just feel empty. and songs like this makes you feel alive again. I'm gonna see 30stm in three weeks and I'm gonna cry so hard. life is beautiful.
Thank you jared i am at the brink of tears
I always listen that music when I go to sleep.. it's fascinating and beautiful full of melodic emotions
Same here man
I just love this song ♥ Jared always touches my heart and my soul ♥ Thank you Jared! I love you so much ♥
It's hard to believe such a beautiful song could have come from so much pain. All I can say is, I'm glad you got back up again.

so many chills
I love you jared you're always in heart
Thank you for singing,recording,and producing this song up

Goosebumps every time

Anyone whose 14 or 15 please don't waste your time in sorrows, live your life at the fullest, you won't be getting this time after 20s
I saw him perform this live last night
why the best songs are always the saddest ?
Because they hit you where it matters the most.
And because we see beauty where we see sadness
This song is just OMG *.*
This song deserves so many much views. Such a masterpiece.
This is my absolute fave on the album!! just love his voice on this song it makes me melt every time X
amo esta canción, la escucho como 20 veces al dia
still inspires.
The best recording of Jared Leto
such a calming and soothing song. Such a beautiful and haunting voice to get lost in...
This song still breaks my heart. It was like he wrote it about me and my dark journey through 2011. By the end of that year, I got back up, again. But, listening to it - as perfect as this song was for me, just reminds me of all those feelings of despair and how close I was to giving up life a few times during that period. It's such an emotional song and my heart goes out to anyone else that has ever been there.
The piano part at the beginning just seems to calm me down...
amazing song. it's so powerful. whenever you feel like you can't make it through a struggle, music can help. especially this song. =)
I'm here because I fell apart and can't wait to get back up again.
It happens
Me too, my friend...
How's it going, Adam? Things looking up?
@SilverFlame819 Wow Thanks for checking in, it's going very good! Just saw this comment of mine from 3 years ago and don't even remember what was the cause of my sadness! So it's just a message to everyone reading this: EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY EVEN IF IT SEEMS HARD NOW! A loss of someone, something, just brings a newer, better and stronger version of yourself! :)
Thanks dude
this is music to inspire,music that can make you cry,music that can make you feel every emotion possible,music like this save lifes. this is what music should be like.
Can't believe I didn't bother to listen to this song till now. This is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard. It's so calming and the lyrics are poetry like the rest of 30STM songs.
If I could end the quest for fire
For truth, for love, for my desire
My desire
And I fell apart, but got back up again
She rests her head on her hand held against the car’s window. She looks outside at the moving city view in the dawn, tired. Sitting on the seat next to the driver, her attendant speaks about the meetings and gatherings she is to attend this week. She doesn’t listen.
The fancy car is suddenly put to stop, a problem in engine perhaps, the driver gets out to see. She is led by a trail of thoughts, what is she doing? Is this what she wants? To live a life as some mechanical doll wearing designer dresses and hats, having her hair styled, socializing with people most of them don’t even matter, somehow it feels empty.
A butterfly passes by.
She quickly turns around to see the way it goes. Butterfly, such a rare sight to see around. Somehow she gets this urge to follow it. She opens the door and the attendant shots up. She breaks into run.
The city is silent is silent and peaceful, there are very few people around. She looks around, the butterfly is gone. But she doesn’t want to go back. She takes her black hat off and let the natural curls settle over her shoulders, then she removes her jacket and holds it on her arms. A shop appears on her left but she turns to right and buys a check shirt and jeans from the street retailer, they smile at each other with a thank you.
She emerges from a restaurant after changing into more comfortable clothes and dumps the rest. There are more people now that it is noon, though there are clouds all over sky. She roams around, enjoying herself. It is like a journey on its own, she haven’t gone out like this.
Suddenly she hears a faint wailing sound and turns around and moves to the direction. A boy is crying, he is by himself, lost. The sea of shadows passes by and no one stops.
Won’t anyone look?
She is the one then to walk to him. They eat ice cream and then to police station to inform the boy’s family. She departs with a smile and resumes her walk feeling content. The butterfly flies infront of her.
She follows it and loses it’s sight again. A strong sea breeze flies her hair from behind. She turns around and looks back and sees a bridge surrounded by sea. She walks on the edge, watching the waves and the designs of clouds above and stops at one point.
A drop wets the concrete and she looks up. Rain. It gains it’s strength and soaks her through but she doesn’t move. A kind of laughter opens her mouth that she hasn’t felt before. Her opens her arms wide and shakes her head violently to sprinkle the droplets around. She forgets the world around. She feels alive. It’s like all her emotions have fixed up and are working wild like the pouring.
She sneaks into her room and the mirror shows her reflection. She sighs. Her hair is a mess and a part falls infront one of her eye. Make up washed away. And she is in plain clothes no one in her house lets her. She wants to keep it a memory, a good one.
She opens the doors to the hall. She is in a simple white gown, her family and acquaintances look at her. In the middle of the talks her eyes meet with a kid who was gaping at her, she recognizes him, smiles and lift a finger to her lips. She turns back to the conversation.

wow, I really liked that. nice to read a story like that that doesn't need dialogue, just only expressions and actions. another was to read this story and try to sync it with the music, makes everything all the bit better. the ending was even better.
please write i story like this on wattpad, i would read the heck out of it
amazing
Zeine This is beautiful, and it matches with the song nicely.
Gayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
03:38 did he just kinda laugh while singing"desire" ? 0.O it made me happy.. :')
Yeah...Kinda.
I know.. it gets me every time. He makes that line so much hotter than it should be
it was kinda sarcastic laugh i guess, like maybe he has realized, how shallow his desires were, sort of.. i dunno, just my interpretation (and by he i mean a protagonist of the song, not Leto himself, obviously)
2020 is the worst year of my life. First the pandemic, then my mom was diagnosed with cancer, and my dad had a failed back surgery so he can hardly walk now. Then three people that I know passed away for different reasons, all within close range of each other. To top it off, my fiancé just left me. I can say that I've always liked this song, but never really understood it until now. I can't wait for this year to be over. I can't wait to get up. I'm so tired of crying.
Be strong bro
'The night is darkest just before the dawn'. I was a intellectually-priviledged boy who took his intelligence for granted. My arrogance got the best of me and I fell even further into complacency, underachievement, insecurity, denial, narcissism, and finally depression. Thankfully, music, and the ember of my conscience sparked my will to rise above. Now, I'm close to what I should be. I believe there are countless more who can share the lessons they have learned in their struggles, as I have.
I feel this song can brighten up everybody's day. If somebody is down this can cheer them up
simply fantastic !
PERFECT SONG !!!
Love this song, been there and damn straight I got back up again! While there is music like this it's hard not to :))
No matter how many times I've already heard this song, I always cry before the song even starts, during it, and afterwards. Jared, thank you for healing my broken heart and saving my life. 🥺❤
