Who’s here because of his Audition in AGT? He got a very good voice I think this is his time to go places around the globe.
i need to know what the song he sang was
🙋🏼 he is good dow..,
Me hahaha
Yep, I am. Fantastic and unique voice. I hope he goes far.
Meeee
Can't believe this masterpiece was hidden in the internet all those years
I know right !! The whole world needs to see this - intense and real and so good 😿
Just watched Sam's audition for the band on America's Got Talent. Had to subscribe and listen to everything else immediately. Y'all really need to watch the audition; it's a song that I don't see on their channel, but it's breathtaking.
also dont see it here
He blow me away with his voice. One of the best in 17 seasons
same here, I felt the compulsion to listen to his work. and WOW
That performance was phenomenal
Agree … look forward to hearing this voice for many years
Wow. Nicotine Dolls. Remember this name, world. This is the sheer artistry and vulnerability we so desperately need in today's music.
I must say, I’m shocked! This is the first time I’ve actually “seen” anxiety and depression depicted in such an honest way. Thank you for drawing attention to how it really feels inside when these kick in. I wish everyone could watch this. A lot of us think we know how it is and how it feels from watching service announcements or movies. Reality is so very different and frightening not only to the person dealing every day with this but to family members who are trying to understand what is happening to their loved one. Great song, great optics and great lyrics. Acting is superb and right on point. You certainly have a future and I think you’re ready! Best of everything this world has to offer you. ♥️
That’s why I love this song, I see parts of myself in it. If you’re interested in seeing more honest mental health Bo Burnhams comedy special on Netflix called Inside makes me feel like my whole brain is on display.
So accurate. The lyrics, the visualizations of the music video, and just the spirit of the song, all of it.
Me..because of AGT
I've never seen panic and anxiety shown like this. It's like I was watching myself at times. Wow, powerful. Heard your amazing audition on agt, then had to subscribe and see more. ❤
Beautifully stated n said. 🙏❤️
“You’ll be fine. You’ll be fine. Just stay alllliiiiiiiiivvvvvvvveeeeeee!” 🔥
His delivery is perfection.
The visual depictions, emotional vulnerability, and vocal range is just brilliant. ❤
Brilliant
2:57 onwards honestly is awe inspiring. That hit harder than 90% of the songs I’ve heard this year. So damn excellent
Thank you!
@@NicotineDolls Thank *you* for this amazing song and music video. Keep it up you guys
Yes! 100%
This great grandma thinks you're the real deal. Thanks for your honest vulnerability. Wow. So good. I'm crying....
This just shows how much great music is out there….I’m in Australia and stumbled across Sam’s AGT audition on UA-cam.
This sent me into a Nicotine Dolls rabbit hole and then I heard and SAW this video. What a powerful song and beautifully made film clip. Spoke to me instantly ❤️
Not a watcher of Talent shows, but like to check out new singers through the shows UA-cam clips and it’s paid off big time with Nicotine Dolls.
This song hit hard and brought so much memories of growing up being picked on and hated just because of being me…slapped, slammed, burn my hair, called a ugly witch. Those scars stay with you even now. This song is a magical one and really hits home for me. I’m lucky enough to realize my scars do heal over time. You learn patience, prayer, surround myself with worthy people who care about me. I learned to give more kindness in a hateful world and more compassion for those who have none.
Thank you Sam and the Band for being out there in the world 🌎 ❤
I love it. The toughest part about dealing with anxiety in depression is feeling that no one else could understand, so thank you for the reminder that there are others who feel this way and none of us are alone
Thank you, that's what we wanted to do more than anything.
@@NicotineDolls thank you so much man. I can't believe it took this long to find yall. And to find this song , this is me on a daily basis and it sucks.
@@antonioanchondo8488 it’s just doesn’t suck for you ♥️
@@antonioanchondo8488 not on a daily basis i have these days way to often. Sadly my friends and family do not understand it. People like us need to force ourselves to have more fun in life i think sometimes.
I wish you strenght! Greetings from Dutch Limburg.
@@gazepskotzs4 I think, from personal experience, we more precisely, forget how to PLAY, with the same type of abandonment of a child because we're afraid of being thought of as "childish " instead of childLIKE. It's sad we are bullied out of the very thing we should be able to do without people judging. Playing in the rain, squishing and dancing in the mud, building sandcastles, rolling in thick green grass to feel the tickle, deeply inhaling the damp smell of being in the arms of Mother Earth, bathed in the rays of Father Sun, chasing fireflies...all some of my favorite delights as a child, now playing again with my grands. Oh the delight.
This room I call my body is so small and claustrophobic
I'm scared, in here
Have you ever had a panic attack
Recommend it if you want to know what
it's like to be drowning on a city bus
I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows
The madness
The madness
Of being alive
Of being alive
Why's everybody starting at me
Why's everybody waiting for the giants to come
And carry me away
10 seconds and i know I'll be fine
10 seconds of thinking I might actually die
But then it subsides
I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows
The madness
The madness
Of being alive
Of being alive
When you're a kid and the other kids hit you
So hard in the head that they blow out an ear drum
That takes away your balance so now you get car sick
Standing in one spot
And then you get older and think everyone knows
That your cracked in the center and the breathing gets heavy
To the point where the water fills up to your eyeline
Gasping for life but it's all in your mind
You'll be fine
You'll be fine
Just stay alive
At 13 I started to feel it
At 13 I started to feel
Alive
Alive
I felt the madness
I felt the madness
Have you ever had a panic attack
Recommend it if you wanna know what it's like
Wow. Can relate to this so much
You're doing the lords work by posting the lyrics
🙏🏻 thank you for posting this💯
Wow found this on a random click on reddit. Now I cant stop replaying this song.
Thank you Eric!
Sameee
That’s where I found it, too! I’m addicted.....that voice gives me shivers...
All Nicotine Dolls music needs to be on vinyl, because my stereos need this ❤
Dear Sam, you have a remarkable voice. The best and most heart stopping I've heard in a very long time 🙏
I just saw his AGT audition literally minutes ago, I felt the compulsion to listen to his work. and WOW, just WOW. Subbed. All the best to you.
Likewise👍😀
@@ma.esther9637 Me Three! Subbed and listening to all the songs. No disappointments, just excellence so far.
I agree completely..
Completely agree just did the same 🙌
Now is the time that the world will know your music guys. I'm so happy to be a part of it.❤️
...me too
If what makes you sad is the bop...this is your masterpiece.
I understood after this song why Sam defended the band from AGT which apparently tried to split the band. This song is fantastic not because of only Sam, but the combination of the music, lyrics, deepness...all. Its addicting kind of like Nicotine ;)
Seriously, this is THE new band for alternative rock. This is their moment.
You aren’t wrong❣️🌟💫
When you relate more to a song than anyone in your life.
This song deserves a minimum of 10 million views (no upper limit).
Thank you, it means a lot that you connected to it so much!
@ Sheetal Saklani 💯 it needs to go off the charts RABID viral.
“Ten seconds, I know I'll be fine
Ten seconds of thinking I might actually die
But then it subsides”
I know that feeling all too well, this song is heartbreaking ❤
If you start counting you hit 10 once he says "and then it subsides" and I think that's just a fantastic detail
@@domokunn9962 I never noticed that wow, that is a great detail
I hate to say that I didn’t find The Nicotine Dolls without AGT - but honestly that was the best advertising that they could have done.
This song and film clip in particular really hits hard. The band is officially in my “songs for all events” playlist.
Also, Sam smashed it with the acting. The song is amazing - but the film clip is so cleverly done, with a lot of environmental story telling. The bridge just makes my heart drop.
@Jessie James
I suspect that Sam wasn't so much acting as reliving...not to diminish that he's a great actor.
When the algorithms in your subscriptions knows what you need at that moment 😌
Holy crap. It’s anxiety in a song. I don’t even know how you put the feeling into words and music…but you nailed it. Keep writing. Keep singing. This is art.
Thank you so much for creating this for us, and I feel like it's the most accurate representation of how intense and overwhelming anxiety can be. I'm feeling with you greatly and I hope that everyone who is burdened with it has the power pull through. I deal with PTSD and it is hard being vulnerable in a crowd even if an episode is inevitable. It really deserves to be acknowledged and those experiencing this are valid and deserving of support. I hope that you are okay and even though I don't know you personally you have my support and that I'm glad you took the courage to be this vulnerable.
Again, thank you and everyone else who helped produce this and well wishes to your career as an artist!!
Chelsey you are who this song was written for and everyone else who understands this day to day. That we were able. to capture that for you means the world to us. Thank you for the kindness!
Someone out there needs to cast Sam Cieri in one of those incredible character roles in a blockbuster.
Your voice is incredible and the lyrics to this song is insane. Love it! Can't wait to share your music with my son. Found you this evening after watching you on AGT. It will take a bit longer, but stick with it Sam, it's going to happen, your on the uphill. Your voice is one of a kind. This is your souls calling, continue to move in the direction of that calling. Continue to inspire others through your music. Wishing you the very best.
"The madness of being alive". Love that line, this song perfectly described for me the epitome of depression. Yes, everyday is already a struggle trying to find a purpose but you've got to keep moving, that's how our world works and that in itself is insanity.
Anyway new fan hope you guys will keep producing such beautiful music. Although the disappointing part is that I can't find your album, I guess I have to wait until something is available in my country.
I just came from his AGT audition, what an amazing artist ❤️
Powerful lyrically, vocally and emotionally. Masterful genius. Love you Sam. Genius artist. I wish you a healthy and strong mental health. ❤👏🎶🌟👑
I generally don't like indie music but this song is so beautiful
Thank you!
This is such a hidden gem of a song
You know that feeling when someone is so unreasonably attractive and their music is also unbelievably great and the music video for the song is a super courageous piece of deeply touching art- so you very nearly melt into the Earth from the experience? Like, I GUESS I'll survive after watching this, but it was a pretty close call, friends.
This makes me hurt for you. Also hurts because it's so damn beautiful. I first witnessed your acting chops in Once, and am reminded all over again how well you capture your audience with your vulnerability and authenticity. Well done, band. Well done, Sam.
Thank you Mirielle, we are really proud of this one :)
Thank you for pulling through and not giving up. You have incredible talent and heart ❤️ This is the most beautiful cathartic song I have ever heard. Thank you for your art. I can't even explain the effect this song is having on me. I hope it reaches everyone who needs to hear it ❤️ My son is 13. I can't even imagine 💔❤️🩹❤️
I'm just finding you after watching your audition on AGT. I have fallen down the rabbit hole (aka your page) listening to all of your music. Your voice is amazing! You have been blessed with a most awesome gift, and I am glad you are sharing it with us. We are privileged to listen. I also want to thank you for this song. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone in this world or with the affliction of anxiety, panic attacks and depression. I have to tell myself every day that it will be okay, I just need to stay alive, and all I can do is keep trying. Thank you. Just thank you. I will keep trying. If not for me, then for my 11 year old Son. ❤️
It really is amazing how many people relate to this song and how many of us are thankful that nicotine dolls has expressed so intelligently,carefully , pointedly, painfully and too many adjectives to describe how madness enters the hearts and souls of all with such love and grace ! Lovely ,perfect and brilliant !
Been my go to band for awhile now 💕
This music video,........I've never thought a video could show my mind so accurately. To everyone suffering with the same as me, your not alone. I've cried so much listening to this song. I just everyone to know, but knobkdy knows the everyday struggle of trying to make yourself believe that your ok. This video is 70% of my days. Nicotine dolls, thank you for spreading this.
DM me
This song and video feel like what panic disorder feels like. I love it. My favorite by y’all
Also found on reddit. You guys deserve all the praise coming your way. The emotional desperation conveyed in “Just stay alive!” is utterly beautiful and chill evoking. You feel your music so much in every video, can not wait for more!
My girlfriend struggles with crippling anxiety and this one really hits home for us.
Thank you, we made this one for anyone that deals with it so I home this helped you both in some way!
Being someone who deals with severe anxiety and has a panic disorder I know the madness this song describes and it honestly brought me to tears because of how well this song portrays what it’s like to deal with so thank you for this beautiful piece of art.
Absolutely beautiful. I can relate with the lyrics so much especially lately. Were all just fighting with our inside demons. And many people just don’t know. Whats going on in our minds. So loud on the inside but its quiet on the outside. 🥺
Wow, I’m 37, had generalized anxiety since elementary school. This is real. Amazing, This song hit real close. Thank you
Thank you for sharing that, we are not alone
Can't get enough of your music. This one helped me see many of my friends with clearer eyes and much more kindness. They told me what panic is like, but you showed me.
Amazing I’m just finding this gem of a band-👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
OK Sam. I love your voice,could listen all day and night to your songs...but the intensity of your actions in this song make me feel you could easily win an oscar...anyone else agree?
The mass of talent to pull this song off with emotion and range of vocal artistry is incredible! Please continue to make the beauty of your music for the world. I am a fan
I have been in a dark state for a little while now, and this video for some reason has spoke to me. Every single line made so much sense. Thank you.
Same, I’m way older than you and I have wasted nearly half of it on health anxiety.😢
I am just so happy Sam auditioned in the great talent show AGT, or else I might have not come across these Amazing people with their amazing music....
Love from India- Nagaland
WOW! I just saw him on AGT and it was amazing. Then upon searching on here found a few more songs. You really know how to connect with listeners of this song especially. I have social anxiety and have had panic attacks in a few crowded places and No one seems to understand it. It great to hear this song and know that I am not alone. You know it in your head but cannot connect it to not have these anxieties. Thank you so so much and good luck on AGT!
Such an incredible song. thank you for portraying it so accurately. whenever I've had anxiety or a panic attack I've likened it to being a fish out of water trying and struggling to breathe dry sand. other times being held under water but not actually dying from it. the water reference is strong.
sorry that you and others have to deal with this as well, but the silver lining is that even though we feel alone in those moments, there are others that actually understand.
This song has become my anthem. I have shared it with everyone I know who battles anxiety and depression. You express it all so well
Absolutely beautiful. As someone who has been struggling with panic attacks and anxiety since childhood, this touched me in ways I don't really know how to say in words. Thank you so much for your art and expression.
Thank you for the kind words, this one was for you and those that do know what it feels like.
The voice, the story, the visuals are all put together nicely. It all shows the emotion so well. I connect to this song in some ways and being able to relate to music opens up a lot of feelings. Has to be one of my favorites of your guy’s songs
3:25 damn that power and emotion
im back again imma just put the lyrics here so i can read along
This room I call my body, it's so small and claustrophobic
I'm scared, in there
Have you ever had a panic attack?
Recommend it if you want to know what
It's like to be drowning on a city bus
I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows
The madness
The madness
Of being alive, (oh)
Of being alive (oh) mm-mm
Why's everybody staring at me?
Why's everybody waiting for the giants to come
And carry me away?
Ten seconds, I know I'll be fine
Ten seconds of thinking I might actually die
But then it subsides
I think everyone knows
But nobody knows
I think everyone knows
But no one knows
The madness
The madness
Of being alive
Of being alive, oh
When you're a kid and the other kids hit you
So hard in the head that they blow out an ear drum

That you're cracked in the center, and the breathing gets heavy
To the point where the water fills up to your eye, like

My friend sent me this song, and I am absolutely in love with this song. I can feel the frustration, the pain, the repressed feel to it, it's so painful yet beautiful. thank you for making this song, I am sorry for all the pain you've endured, or whoever that inspired your music. Thank you for being alive and working through the toughest of time you have experienced, and will continue in this hell bent world.
This was really beautiful to read and thank you so much for all the kind words!
Thank You! I've been in a black hole for the last 11mths since I lost my brother 💔 as music was our thing I couldn't bear to listen to music let alone sing😢 since I was introduced to you guys I am starting to see light in the dark. Just had to let you know how you've touched me & to encourage you guys to share your very special talents to heal us all! Much love and appreciation from OZ 🙏💖🇦🇺
Am here after watching AGT. That was awesome, this one too.
This is how the world feels RIGHT NOW. "Just stay ALIVE!" Most of us are just barely hanging on. Great song. It touched me. Truly.
❤️🙏🏻 strong strong you’ve got this.
Ngl, this is now my favorite song. The video, music and lyrics adds something on it's on way, i'm really impressed.
Thank you Miguel!
The song is superb, but the feelings you express are so so real, I was concerned how you're able to represent the lot of horrid emotions when it strucks. It is so realistic. The gasps, glances and the you'd yell the way out of yourself. The whole fu**ing thing. Thank you so much for caring.
Holy Fuck. That video was intense. Caught me off guard. The emotions he expresses with not only his voice but physically, visually…. I felt it all watching this. felt like I did when I was in high school and the loneliness Of being different… keep going… one day you will feel alive... This guy is an incredible singer but also an incredible closeted actor.
Sam Cieli should be writing, directing and starring in Broadway musicals. His talent is huge with narrative, artistry, originality and would change music forever.
I actually had a panic attack last year from a sudden and overwhelming realization that I was stuck inside of my body with only one way out. I am very claustrophobic, always have been, and have always had anxiety. But I have never, before or sense, had such a profound realization that I AM INSIDE of my body and am stuck there until the end of my life. It took a while for me to calm down and accept this reality for what it is. I definitely leveled up that day. This song is absolutely beautiful.
Wow!! Just because of this song - you guys deserve for he whole world to know you and love you - God bless you guys and keep you all safe as adults , may the dreams that are for you be yours - May you all live long and enjoy a good life - surrounded by people who truly love and appreciate you and your individual uniqueness. Sending so much love ❤️
That "just stay alive" brought tears to my eyes 😍😍
If nirvana was in the same parallel universe as foo fighters and TOOL where stuck in our present day but where all in the same 1991 realm. Straight up you guys Rock, this video hit everything we all can legitimately relate too. Thank you N.D.
This is 100% your own amazing style and sound. Keep on rockin🤜🏼🤟🏼
Without looking to his future or past, this is one incredible singer and songwriter. A unique sounding voice is a skeleton without flesh (Too much Nicotine?) but this is the flesh and it moves like a holiday light show. I am dancing in my head. This is Real Talent. At this moment. On this day. There is no need to take bets on his future.
Thank you nicotine dolls for your music, a real inspiration to many, ❤️
I'm hooked, saw the AGT audition and have been searching and watching clips for a solid hour since. Love his voice, love the songs & the music it's got everything I love about music and musicality to it. Definitely big new fan here 😍😍
Holy shit, this is fantastic. I'm going to go follow/subscribe everywhere now. Hope I get to catch you at a show sometime!
You have just rendered me astonished and stunned. With the lyrics, music and videography you've conveyed in graphic detail how childhood bullying and abuse can traumatize you all over again far into your adulthood. The emotions the vocals brought to the surface feel so compellingly raw and real. Simply, BRAVO. So relevant and gorgeous.
Thank you for choosing to be brave and willing to share through the music 🎶
This song beautifully address panic attacks and the way they make those of us who suffer from them feel. Sam Your acting in this Video is oscar worthy, and your voice tells a story.
I need more than two songs on Spotify!! Where can we get more of your music in the meantime? Amazing talent
We are releasing new music at the end of each month through February!
Loved your audition on AGT dude! As a person who suffers from anxiety and ADHD, this song really spoke to me! Greeting from Brazil!
I remember seeing Sam in Once. Both in Ireland and in DC! I actually met him afterwards when I saw it in DC and we talked about the difference of seeing the show in both places. Sam’s performance, both times I saw him really inspired me to continue with musical theatre. Keep up this brilliant work, guys!! Its absolutely incredible!
Hey Louisa! Thank you and I hope you're still pursuing it!
What a performance by Sam, truly putting his heart and soul in to these songs!
It's upsetting, to say the least, to know that he and so many others have endured such bullying and abuse. But it's beautiful to know that he's channeling the emotional passion of those experiences into music rather than self-abuse or outward violence.
Lyrics in this song are fantastic especially the talking part 🙌🏻
Is this song about mental health? I’m a counselor and couldn’t help but see the connection
Therapist: Tell me how you feel.
Me: Holds up phone with this playing.
Therapist: Are you ok?
Me: I am now.
🥲❤️
Please release the "what makes you sad" song...completely mesmerized
Just found his music. Hope he keeps going for a long time. Phenomenal talent Sam!!
I just heard him on ATG and looked him up IMMEDIATELY!!!
LOVE your voice AND songs!
How are they not hugely famous yet?! OMG!!
Wow, what a powerful song. So relatable. Thank you to the lyricist(s). Huge thank you.
Powerful song, absolutely awesome voice.
Every body rides the fine dark line...your going to be just fine,,, now buddy... come at me,,, use your music to find me... you got important stuff to say and I want to hear it...we all love you.. .
Ur my new favorite 😎👍
Saw AGT but the band are great and this song is awesome!!!
Absolutely incredible! Very powerful. I haven't been able to get "Tell Me What Makes You Sad" (I hope that's the title) out of my head. I've watched that audition several times and I've been singing it all over my house. lol
Absolutely outstanding on so many levels. Thank you for sharing with the world. Has 'Frightened Rabbit' vibes.
I have listened to this song bloody loads thr last few days. I feel that panic attack in my soul xx
This is it. This is exactly what it is that I could never explain in words. The video and lyrics are what I have felt and could not bring to life for people to understand. Thank you 🙏
I've been struggling with anxiety for the most of my life, lately with a little depression. The first time I saw this I was in shock, I felt everything so deeply. I was amazed, moved, angry, scared. I'm getting help but this was a friendly pat on the back to remind me that I'm not the only one dealing with these feelings. If I could, I would hug you. This is a masterpiece. Thank you! I listen to it every time I feel I'm gonna lose it and it keeps me above water.
For sure im here because of his audition.....holy Crap This Guy is Amazing.........
Love your music your voice is so different just awesome I think you will go far!!!
This video is absolutely beautiful. It hurts but is so relieving to see how it feels put into a form of art that maybe those who don't feel this can understand. Thank you for the all of the amazing work you guys do ❤❤
brilliant singer!!!! he gave it all on AGT. would like to have heard another verse, the song was a bit short and could have held the note on the word sad at the end of the song. I hope he gains a little more confidence from the experience on the show cause hes absolutely brilliant. Im a fan!!
This song and video is everything to me. I've sent it to friends and family members so that they can understand how it feels ❤❤❤
His acting is so so good, and the band's song and lyrics! This is worth a much bigger audience.
I just watch his audition at AGT just curious checking his name on you tube now I found him great voice and good audition at AGT best of luck to you Nicotine dolls wish all the best. 🙏
I can hardly breathe with how real, pretty dead on, this feels. I happened on one of your videos last night and haven't been able to stop.....though right now ill take a breath as I gotta get my breathing under control...but I'll be back!! just amazing!
