Thanks for writing this, Corey. This is indeed one of the heaviest songs I ever heard. The line " It took the death of hope to let you go" always gives me chills.
i lost my buddy to an explosion in combat and he was one of my closest friends and his mother sent me this because she knew what I was going through with his loss and the loss of my fiancé now ex and everything hit super hard thank you slipknot
This one means a lot to me, I just ended a relationship that kinda felt the same way how Corey explains it. We were not meant to be together but when we were it felt magical, we had to end it for various reasons. I’ll probably never see her again but I’ll always have a element of love for her. Bittersweet
It is to me the saddest song ever written... Just ripping your heart and stomping on it. . Like he say IT IS heavy and it is metal. That's what this music is about.. feelings ..deep hidden places inside us that can be free with the music. There's two version of how that song hits depending of the roles in this. To me it's everything I deserved and ever wished could have been said to me. It's a sorry letter that thanks to Corey I can hear from man as much as I want to suffer from it. . It's the respect, the humility and the sensibility that should have come with it. Corey is something else as I vocalist. It's the suffering. That what's makes him authentic. When you come from traumas at a young age you can spot those who's been in that road. Thanks to this man ♥️🖤
One of my favorite songs period, not just from Slipknot. It’s like he goes through the stages of grief throughout the song. Then by the end of the song he rips it apart. So heavy and emotional, this is why ppl love him. Everyone at one point or another can relate
Sometimes we love so hard and intensely that it becomes destructive to us. The highs are so high they are not even on the scale, but the lows are so low it feels like falling into a black hole ad infinitum if any words could actually describe it. A connection and attraction so strong it's unsustainable.
I love this song. It hits you hard. This past Friday I filed for divorce after almost 25 years from someone I thought I would spend the rest of my life with. That evening my friends took me out for drinks and karaoke. I'm not a good singer but I enjoy it. I like to walk around singing and "work the crowd." I decided to sing this song, so I sat on my bar stool and let it go. I think it was the best song I have ever sung. It is helping with the closure and being able to move forward.
This song is my all time favorite song. Not just in Slipknot but in music as a whole. The song makes me feel something every time I hear it. That song can get me through so many hard time in my life. Thank you Corey for bringing this song to life
This song drug me through the mud. I heard this after I got a divorce and I completely broke down. That break down is what I needed to help me move on. I appreciate this song so much.
I always play this song! Slip and Stone Sour are so talented! Going through relationship breakups, divorce is all sad. Experiencing death to a loved one is the ultimate sadness, majority of us have experienced!
This is the most validating ive ever felt. I felt the same way he has… i got it ripped away from me. It was beautiful, and now my heart is locked inside of him.
This song has gotten through me so much shit. I remember the first time I heard it I felt every single fucking lyric. Such a beautiful song and honestly there’s something so pure when an artist can create something poetic like that and connect with so many people
What I find so very often from those who really dont know most of Metal and the history of ballads are one with each other.Theres this misunderstanding that Metal is never about love,or feelings as such.Truth is its been since the very begining.Sanitarium,My Darkest Hour, The Ballad,Fade to Black on and on we go. We love and hurt as anyone does.We absolutley show it in ways not most recongnize.
This song means everything to me now. Been a fan of this song ever since day one but for the last one year I can feel each fuckin words. It just makes me wanna die
First time I heard this song I bawled my eyes out crying I'm going through this right now in my life and I felt it in my heart so much I can't stop listening to it absolutely the best thing I have ever heard
I never knew that. I thought It was just pushed from Paul from the go. Paul always reminds me of my best friend Sean and band mate. Coolest dude ever and ever so egoless. He passed in the same fashion. Damn I miss you every single day bro
I can 150% relate to what he is saying it does feel like a large hole is in your life when your with someone you genuinely love decides to break it off and then it's gone. You really do everything you can to refocus your life but you can not forget the good things you had.
This song got me through the darkest time of my life. I wanted to take myself out of this world. I listened to this song over and over and it somehow woke me up and I wanted to go on. Now, it still hits me hard but it's a reminder of how far I've come in 5 years.
This has cleaned and cleared my past souls mate that passed he chose the devil not or family and Satan took him from me…. 9/7/2023 20 years later I let go. Lost that hope to let go…
Thank you Corey. I just started experiencing the worst heartbreak i’ve ever felt. I’ve wanted her since we were still in school, even when she had a boyfriend and was unofficially engaged to him. I was dragged into hell and she dragged me out and gave me the experience of feeling true love for the first time in my life. Every girl i’ve been with or dated since I met her hasn’t lasted long because everytime i closed my eyes she was all i could see. I love u with all my heart B. I’m so sorry I fucked up. For everything its worth.
The angst of that loss continues and becomes a ghost haunting every deep need you wish you could feel again..ask me how I know… Against the odds I hope you break free and someone surprises you . and you feel new and alive again. You’ll have too..never mind. Sorry this song got me thinking and remembering
I even understood this in year 7 in school when my first ever ‘crush’ just teased me because she was a popular pretty girl and I was a overweight fat kid. She and others of her popular friends set it up for a laugh but I generally thought she liked me. I bawled my eyes out to snuff.. silly looking back at it
Hate how there's people that are still saying Snuff is a Stone Sour song. If 2 Slipknot members say it's a Slipknot song. Then it's a Slipknot song whether the band uses it or not.
I know this video is old but I had to comment. If someone asked me "What's your all time favorite song"? I would picked this song. I first heard it in my college English class. We had to write a paper on it. What we believed the song was about. The paper I wrote compared to what I would write today , let me just say before I had never truly experienced a heart ache. The kind that steals your soul. This song helped me realize I had to let go. If I didn't I would never be able rise from those ashes like a phoenix, through the flame. II get to see them perform in July at Inkcarceration and I really hope to hear this song.
I hope you get to hear it too, but it's a bit of a longshot. They dont perform it often. So if they do play it you should be extra excited !! Incarceration is a fantastic festival btw.
When someone experiences coming alive through another. And what follows ..you suddenly realize one day you could never be whole without them. You push the immediate panic and fear out of your mind.. because they will always be there right….in the next scene night after night futile desperate tears are the only comfort..reminding you that that Love is still alive..and deceived by your own hope tormented years pass slowly..ask me how I know. In a live version I heard Corey Taylor say it’s hard for him to get through that song in front of an audience….! I know I couldn’t do. At “I still press your letters to my lips” …Id lose it. Lol Thanks for your comments. They were really good.

one of the heaviest songs ive ever heard. it doesn’t have to be metal to be heavy.. it’s beautiful.
For a slower song it is the best slow song ever
Huh you said it succinctly
The lyrics spoken for itself and you're right,, its fuckin heavy.
I agree!! The lyrics are deep.
It doesn't have to be heavy, to be metal. 🤘
Thanks for writing this, Corey. This is indeed one of the heaviest songs I ever heard. The line " It took the death of hope to let you go" always gives me chills.
I feel you there...
I feel this song in my soul
@@briangoff693 Same with me. 😅
The pen is truly mightier than the sword^^
i lost my buddy to an explosion in combat and he was one of my closest friends and his mother sent me this because she knew what I was going through with his loss and the loss of my fiancé now ex and everything hit super hard thank you slipknot

that's fucked dude but me too dude
@@koolaidman1024 bro it just hits different, hope you are healing though my bro
Yes after 17 years and twins me and my wife split up. I hear this and my chest starts hurting. I tell myself it was the best for both of us
In the same boat you will get through this and probably you have. More power to you \m/
The last song people will hear when they put me in the fucking ground and personification of the human soul.
❤️
this is the reason why i have so much respect to corey because of this song
A classic for sure
Cory, I’ve had my heart ripped out and I’ve lived every word of this song. Thanks man
It is to me the saddest song ever written... Just ripping your heart and stomping on it. . Like he say IT IS heavy and it is metal.

Snuff, So long goodbye by 10 years, and without you by ashes remain are my favorite, they are all sad songs especially if you know the feeling
One of my favorite songs period, not just from Slipknot. It’s like he goes through the stages of grief throughout the song. Then by the end of the song he rips it apart. So heavy and emotional, this is why ppl love him. Everyone at one point or another can relate

Man this song got me through alot of heartache but im still here thanks SLIPKNOT
Its one of those songs that any one can relate to at some point in life.
It is a timeless piece of art.
i could list to corey talk all day... so well spoken
This song is my all time favorite song. Not just in Slipknot but in music as a whole. The song makes me feel something every time I hear it. That song can get me through so many hard time in my life. Thank you Corey for bringing this song to life
I think most of us can relate to heartbreak at least once in our lifetime. One of the Best Rock songs ever!
KEEP ROCKIN’ OUR WORLDS! 🇺🇸💋🤘🏻💪🏻☝🏻👊🏻🇺🇸
I lost my mom and nephew 6 and 8 years ago and this song reminds me and makes me feel like they're with me still
knowing you're not supposed to be together but there is something that feels so good... sounds like every relationship i ever had
This song drug me through the mud. I heard this after I got a divorce and I completely broke down. That break down is what I needed to help me move on. I appreciate this song so much.
I always play this song! Slip and Stone Sour are so talented! Going through relationship breakups, divorce is all sad. Experiencing death to a loved one is the ultimate sadness, majority of us have experienced!
I've had a very bad heart break back in February and the song made me have the ability to move on
This is the most validating ive ever felt. I felt the same way he has… i got it ripped away from me. It was beautiful, and now my heart is locked inside of him.
This song has gotten through me so much shit. I remember the first time I heard it I felt every single fucking lyric. Such a beautiful song and honestly there’s something so pure when an artist can create something poetic like that and connect with so many people
That's the magic of music. It transcends one individual's experience and makes it something universal .
What I find so very often from those who really dont know most of Metal and the history of ballads are one with each other.Theres this misunderstanding that Metal is never about love,or feelings as such.Truth is its been since the very begining.Sanitarium,My Darkest Hour, The Ballad,Fade to Black on and on we go.

I love this track. Thanks Corey and thanks paul!
This song got me through the biggest heartbreak I've ever felt. It took the death of hope to let you go.
First time I heard this song I bawled my eyes out crying I'm going through this right now in my life and I felt it in my heart so much I can't stop listening to it absolutely the best thing I have ever heard
I force smiles, my face doesn't do it anymore...
This song hits so hard right now with what I’m going through
Snuff is a great song
I never knew that. I thought It was just pushed from Paul from the go. Paul always reminds me of my best friend Sean and band mate. Coolest dude ever and ever so egoless. He passed in the same fashion. Damn I miss you every single day bro

It's a fine line between pleasure and pain....Love and hate....
It's been 6 years since my divorce and after I heard this it really touched my heart and I felt your pain! Awesome shit man
This song got me through the darkest time of my life. I wanted to take myself out of this world. I listened to this song over and over and it somehow woke me up and I wanted to go on. Now, it still hits me hard but it's a reminder of how far I've come in 5 years.
Discovered the song after I had a very similar breakup... still haven't really gotten over it 2 years later. Love Slipknot thought
I've been tuning into this song lately because of what I'm going through
There will never be anyone like Corey
This has cleaned and cleared my past souls mate that passed he chose the devil not or family and Satan took him from me…. 9/7/2023 20 years later I let go. Lost that hope to let go…
I only wish U weren't myfriend.....so I could hurt U in the end......one of the heist songs of all-time thankyou slipknot.....

Love love love this song...but, I was hoping for a more elaborate explanation of the lyrics from your point of view.
I even understood this in year 7 in school when my first ever ‘crush’ just teased me because she was a popular pretty girl and I was a overweight fat kid. She and others of her popular friends set it up for a laugh but I generally thought she liked me. I bawled my eyes out to snuff.. silly looking back at it

Rip Paul
We have all had that relationship but the only song to explain 3verything
Great video.
Thank you for watching!
Bad ass song fans should understand it’s slipkont all the way. The tune is slipkkont !!
When Slipknot sings this song, it's sad.
When Corey Taylor sings it, it's universe destroying.
I know this video is old but I had to comment. If someone asked me "What's your all time favorite song"? I would picked this song. I first heard it in my college English class.

Damn. I wish my English teacher made me write a paper on Slipknot. lol
When someone experiences coming alive through another. And what follows ..you suddenly realize one day you could never be whole without them.
You push the immediate panic and fear out of your mind.. because they will always be there right….in the next scene
night after night futile desperate tears are the only comfort..reminding you that that Love is still alive..and deceived by your own hope tormented years pass slowly..ask me how I know.
In a live version I heard Corey Taylor say it’s hard for him to get through that song in front of an audience….!
I know I couldn’t do. At “I still press your letters to my lips” …Id lose it. Lol
Thanks for your comments. They were really good.
Im in this same situation right now 😔
we've all been there. And you can get past it too. It won't be easy, but you'll come out on the other side of it stronger.
@@TheLaunchPadStudio thank you that means a lot to me i wish good upon you and your family and i will keep trying to get past this struggle
Does she know? ......
She shouldn't.
God I hope so, she is one popular gal, for sure!!!! 🇺🇸🤘🏻🤘🏻☝🏻☝🏻🇺🇸
I thought it was about a father that left him
He didn't know his dad until around Vol 3. So I can see why you'd get that.
Hello There
General kenobi
A fellow Villasenor, what a pleasant surprise
it doesnt even sound like a stone sour song.
