If you're reading this, I'm glad you're here today. I'm so proud of you for being brave and not letting monsters win. Stay strong. Be brave. Live life with faith within yourself. ❤️🥰
As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety and other health issues, this song hits home. It's got the perfect vocals, perfect melody and it makes you want to cry and sing along. It's amazing to hear people's stories and how they overcame it all, how they continue to survive and push through. Suicide is no joke and it really bothers me when people joke around about it. I struggle with pain each and every day, suicide seems like the easy way out but I push forward because I have people around me who need me more and I know they'd be lost without me. Thank you for making this song, sharing your story and pushing forward to do what you love and enjoy, this world needs more amazing people such as yourself, Tommy. You're an amazing artist and I've loved you since the first time I heard your music. Keep making music!
I just now realized after listening to this for like the 80th time that I'm being the strength for my stepson. He's been through some shit the last year involving other boys at school, and I've told him after everything, I'm not going to let them win. I have his back, just like his mom. I pray he knows that I won't let him fight his battles alone, no matter what.
It’s a daily battle. Lost all my siblings to overdose, I am the caregiver to my veteran husband who suffers from ptsd, anxiety and depression. The days are hard, but I keep on trucking. Thank you for your beautiful voice and music ❤️
I have battled my own demons. Hearing stories of people you'd never expect would share your same struggles really hits home. Everyday above ground is a good day brother, remember that!
I find Tommy Vext incredibly attractive for not just his looks but his incredible strength, authenticity, intelligence and passion. Thank you for this masterpiece Tommy. You’re a light in a world filled with nightmares.
@@tommyvextofficial As a father fighting a narcissistic mother and loving my daughter to the extent that I do you help. Both of you. You as well Topher. Seeing strong people stand up for what’s right helps. I know I’m not alone. Got this one on repeat right now. Can’t wait for the album. Hey Tommy. One day at a time. I’m really wanting to hear that one. Why isn’t it on the album brother? I just want to hear it lol. God bless. Keep pushing. Love you guys. Keep up the good fight in this crazy world we are in.
Prayers Tommy 🙏 that this song Blows up sooner than later..I see it Skyrocketing within 3months(just cause Al control sux) But sadly think it’s really going to hit most people after Summer. 🫦I love everything you stand for & so happy you’re ALIVE Today 🌹jv🫶🏻
I'm here today because my daughter was born. If it wasn't for her being here, I would had ended it 12 yrs ago. My daughter will never truly understand how much of a miracle she actually is. I suffer from mental and physical disabilities. They conflict often. I'm too old for drama and conflict that isn't necessary. It's tough getting out of bed in the morning. But I do it for my daughter. I'm here because of my daughter. Thank you for this song.
If anybody reads this please dont do it your wanted your needed your someone special i have been there almost died three times to the people reading this your sooooo worth it consider whay would life be like without you or just do what i did and listen to this song and other great music but tommy will always be the best
Im alive today because of my husband. He saved me from pain in every angle and has spent 11years watching me have high and extreme lows but has never left my side... his saving words to me one day at my lowest ad i was screamin in pain. "No matter what you say or do Ill always love you."
As an addict who has been in and out of recovery since the age of 14. This story and song hits home. It's true. It's only when I let other people in and get outside of my dark ass mind that the healing starts. I'm currently coming out of a 4 year bender. I admitted I was suicidal for the first time in my life last month. I Lost site of everything, and was just on a steep slope. It took me opening my heart up and yelling my soul out to my understanding of God(whatever you wanna call it is up to you) ,and that's when I was finally able to let someone else into my heart. Today I am happier than I have been in 5 years, and it's all because I "Made room for someone else". If you're out there struggling, remember everything can be so much different so fast. The happy days are on the otherside of feeling misunderstood, trapped, or simply hopeless. Find someone to be honest with, try and let people show you love.(It's not always easy I know) You can come out of this happier than you may allow yourself to believe still. With heavy hearts and sincerity, comes a new threshold for profound appreciation and joy. Stay strong ❤️🔥
This life is to live for your kids that’s our purpose I think…. And that notion literally saved my fkn life!!! Married 23 yrs going on with 3 kiddos and without them….IAM NOTHING but an addict!!!
I lost my dad 13 years ago. I went into a deep depression. I couldn't function in everyday life. I spent most of my days crying. I couldn't eat, sleep. I has such guilt. It took me ten years to visit him. I went to my knees and cried that miss n love him. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I knew it was him. Unfortunately I still take my depression pills. I have trouble with his adsense. I can now get through a whole sentence while talking about him. It's not easy but we gotta be there for each other. Love 💕
This song holds another depth of meaning today... I'm a paramedic and yesterday we found out one of my partners lost his fight with PTSD and took his own life. Our brotherhood is hurting today.
After the death of my 22 year old daughter Jami on February 13 2021 i fell into a dark place, i thought about ending my life. Had it not been for my wife, grandson, and younger daughters love and strength, i would not be here. I find myself being strong for them and being able to push through the darkness. I still have darkened days, but i know there is light. This song has definitely touched my soul.
As someone who walks on this ledge everyday dealing with the demon’s and darkness thinking that you will never escape from the pain… it does for a moment make one stop and hope that maybe someday there iwill be someone there who could be strong for someone else 😢
When faking it till you make it just isn't happening and your so physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted that it's the peace you've been searching for...
I’ve struggled for the past year and a half, broke both ankles randomly, dealing with fibromyalgia, autoimmune dis orders and struggling to hold onto my job through it all, while taking care of my fiancé who suffers with health issues himself and my son who suffers from severe depression from the loss of his dad to a drug overdose, I stopped smoking, was trying to get strong enough to be able to start working out and being more health conscious, when I got struck down with pneumonia and bronchitis, that caused a hematoma on my stomach wall that busted, been off work for almost a year all together and depression has taken over my life. If it weren’t for my children and fiancé and the love I have for music, I would have given up. Tommy I want you to know, your music is saving people, saving lives like mine, everyday people who strive to survive and do better , be better, just like yourself! Your music moves me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
SONG OF THE YEAR! As a person in recovery, and someone who almost committed suicide due to addiction, and now who has dedicated their life to helping others, this is the song, and message of hope. Please keep making songs like this Tommy.
I've lost so much and in still here...not because I want to be. I really don't. But, I keep living every damn day.. because the only thing that scares me more then living another day with all this pain. Is someone I love needing help and me not being there for them...I keep going for them. This song it says what I've known felt for so long.
That’s recovery in a nut shell. As an addict, me helping someone else is helping myself just as much. Helping someone else gives me less time with my own thoughts. Alone I can’t, together we can.
This is your best song ever. And considering how many great tracks you got, that’s saying something. I get chills listening to it. It’s beautiful and haunting and the pain comes through so clearly. I am going to wear this out on replay without remorse.
My son took his life almost 13 years ago, I tried 6 years ago on his anniversary. I can't say I'm glad I didn't succeed, but some days are better than others.
Thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes stories like this are what help others remember to stay strong & keep going. We all have a purpose, and so many others need us, but we fail to realize that when we are battling our own demons.
I'm a problem solver and every time I am struggling myself it helps to me to find someone else to help or something to fix to clear my mind. Many times, when I'm struggling, I pray for someone to call me for help or just to talk about their struggles and make my own feel like they are not as important at the moment.
As someone who has been struggling with mental health issues most of his life this song really hit home for me and brought a tear to my eye. This song is absolutely amazing and more people need to hear it's message
My mother passed away a year ago I fell into such a deep pit of depression and I was almost out of it. This week I lost my father. This song came up and I’ve cried so much listening to it. Thank you for sharing such a hard experience in your life with the world!
I don’t think I’ve ever truly resonated with a song as much as I have with this. Just listening to it reminds me of how hopeless I was, and how incredibly far I’ve come. Thank you for telling your story, and giving those people in that hopeless mindset a message ❤️
this is going to be the anthem for people who are truly suffering this hits hard in alot of ways its beautiful we are all here for a reason...this was yours 💜
This song took me back to 3 years Ago. I was about to hang myself. As I was about to step out of this realm. I heard my dad's voice(he passed in 1987). I heard "everything is going to be alright." I was about to leave my wife, kids, everything behind. 3years later I'm still here. 2yrs sober. And kicking Ass day after day. For anyone reading this. You are loved, you are important. Things will get better I promise.
I've been sober for nearly 100 days now, and it's mainly because I let someone in. The last 6 months of my life have been the best of my life. I found myself, I regained my passion for professional wrestling, I found my soul mate, someone I truly love more than myself. I use your song, Cancel The King, as my entrance music. You got me through some dark times through your music. Thank you Tommy, and a special thank you to the one I let in.
Every day, dealing with depression and anxiety, which sucks. Cuz the anxiety makes the depression worse, and falling down in a deep hole, makes the depression worse. Always worrying if the next day could be my last.
Thank you for being such an inspiration to those who think that there is no way out of the darkness that they are in or have been going through. I went thru a very dark time 8 years ago, when I lost my mother (whom actually died in my arms) She was only. 58, but had a bad heart & took care of her with in-home hospice, until God called her home. At the same time, my best friend since before kindergarten (I'm now 48) was battling a very aggressive breast cancer. I was flying between AZ for Mom & PA (my home state) to spend as much time as I could with my best friend, as she ended up in hospice too. Mom passed in March 8 years ago & lost my best friend, an hour after my last visit w/her. They passed away exactly 5 months to the day from each other. I t's always been the strong one in my family & had a very traumatic childhood, but was a stronger person for it. But their deaths, so close together, took me down, hard. I never thought I would ever need "behavioral health care " until one day, I prayed that I would get hit by a bus or just not wake up. I did indeed want to die, but just didn't want my family to have to go thru that, I'm just not that selfish. The next day, I made a phone call & got into therapy. I still mourn them greatly, but I no longer feel like "it should have been me, not them" Thank you again Tommy, for sharing such a painful experience. This video may just end up saving someone else's life. ❤
NEVER, and I mean NEVER has a song hit so close to home and made me cry the first time I EVER heard it. (Never has a song made me cry period) This song is the Epitome of me. Thank you Tommy. 🔥🤘🏻
@@tommyvextofficial I appreciate YOU. You may not remember me. I made the video for you with my cruiser's blue lights on showing LE support for you. The one you shared on your IG. That's why this song hits so close to home. I hope we can meet someday.
Someone was put in my path and brought my heart back to life. He has such an amazing it made me cry. I wish I could help him and some other's kids that I have met to show them that they are beautiful and my youngest. I just don't have the strength anymore.
My sons biological father fell to depression in October. This song hits home hard but I wish he had been stronger for our boy. He’s just had his 7th bday without him…
After taking care of my mom and watching her take her last breath from Brain Cancer, then 8 months later watching my grandpa take his last breath and 9 days after watching my grandma take her last breath I started struggling with severe depression and the following year almost the date of my grandma passing I lost everything in a tornado I began sinking deeper into depression but when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Colon Cancer I hit the bottom of the black hole of depression and I honestly wanted to die! Suicide was a constant cuz I just didn't want to hurt anymore! It's a daily battle, but 2yrs later, I'm still here and in remission. THANK YOU, TOMMY, for writing incredible music that inspires people to keep living!
I knew this song was going to hit deep in all the feels, but damn, I didn’t know it was going to make me break down into a puddle. This song is life changing! You can literally FEEL all your emotions. Even my youngest son, the one who gave you the framed writing from his school project, broke down in tears hearing you sing this song. Tommy, I know I thank you a lot for speaking your truth & telling your story, but seriously…I can not thank you enough for sharing THIS. THIS is a song EVERYONE needs to hear.
Anyone still listening to #sadwolves it's only because they know it's still Tommy's music. Being strong for someone else always checks me out of my head. Thank you for this one, Vext!
I mean, you say Sad Wolves, but that new singer is tearin' it up over there. Seriously get over yourself. I bet you're still mad when Three Days Grace got a new singer too? Go cry in a corner over it.
I heard this at the right time in my life. The past year has been a struggle my mental status has deminished drastically. Self harm suicidal thoughts. Last week I wrote each if my adylt children a letter apologizing to them. Thank you for this
I stumbled across your music while working at the VA. It takes a beautiful soul to see the potential in what is perceived as broken. I would love to support you and the people who make your tour possible... please come to Kansas (the single mom budget only stretches so far). I am reminded of three people: 1. The late and forever great, Chester Bennington, smiling from heaven for continuing his message. 2. My mom who I will never know because of untreated bipolar disorder. 3. The veteran who died in the hospital parking lot after eating a phentanol patch. I wish I could have helped all of them. Simple kindness can go so far.
Tommy this song has got me through so much man, dealing with a narcissistic divorce and watching my kids hurt from the pain watching their dad going through it , thank you , thank you so much for your music!
Whether I agree or disagree with the guy, one thing I can see is he used to be broken and he has been through hell and I will say this man has got on of the best voices in the music industry! Awesome song bro and thank you for not being afraid to talk about suicide and share so much with us!
If u r listening to this song please hear this song and pass on the message if we can keep being strong for those that just need a little strength it could change a lot please here Tommy's words
That unfamiliar voice was a sign you were meant for something greater man, and you were. You touched thousands of hearts throughout your career, and with this song alone
I’m not a religious person but I do believe Angels/ guardians/ the universe comes in many forms, I believe one sent him to you. Nothing is random. You’re worth more than you know!
I mentioned on one of your instagram posts for this how I had attempted taking my own life some years ago, but now hearing this song I can truly relate. Where I failed, my brother succeeded, and it tore my mom apart. As I said in that IG comment, people like yourself and my family have helped me find hope in the darkness, but I had never realized that I am my mother's strength. I thought about it and literally every time I'd start thinking those suicidal thoughts, I remember my mother, and how my brother's death tore her up, so I come back from the darkness for her. Thank you Tommy. You're a great man.
I was in tears by the first “destination”. At the second “destination”, I was smiling through the tears. Your ability to convey and evoke raw emotion with your voice is incredible. I’m so glad you’re here. ❤️
I was a BW fan and thats how I knew you. But I wanted to say i just listened to your podcast. Man, ive been listening to all your music for almost two days now. Youre such an amazing human and thank you for not only being strong for others, but for yourself too.
We forget what our purpose in the world is. We are all here for one another and when we stop and pay attention for the slightest second you can see most people are just looking for someone to really talk to. Humanity is broken but not gone. This song is great. A helping hand in music form
My whole life I have battled with depression and didn’t know why I was alive. Kept thinking I’d just end it but music like this kept me going then one year ago I found my purpose in life. I found out I was having a son and now I live for him.
Going through dark times mentally is such an isolating and terrifying and hopeless experience. Thank you for sharing your own personal experience with mental health, I think you have given a voice to thousands who suffer in silence on the daily. Thank you for sharing your own battles and experiences. Mental health is so so important.
I listened to Tommy talk about his journey from addict to sobriety coach on a podcast a few months ago and heard the story of the yellow line in detail. It's something I'll remember for a long time and that's only ratcheted my respect for Tommy up to 11. I've never dealt with suicidal thinking but I have dealt with addiction and Tommy's music and story always help renew my motivation to become a better man.
This song went right to my soul . My son tried to leave this world but God brought him back to me . This song will help us both heal . THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS❤️
I shared this song with brother because I know he goes through depressed states. Without him I wouldn't have gone to get my high school diploma equivalant.
Tommy, your music hits me way different than other music's when I'm dealing with depression and hard times I always come back and listen to this masterpiece it always makes me feel good and makes me forget the hard times so god bless you and keep up on these great musics like these
I am an empath and let me tell you without knowing very much at all about this man I can tell you this song is beyond genuine and comes straight from Tommy's heart. Listening to this I felt a whirlwind of emotions and I haven't had that happen with a song in a long time. Thank you for allowing me to feel this Tommy and I hope this helps countless people out there.
it's a hard task to be working inside of your own mind, but you sir still stopping to help someone else, it has meaning, and worth. thank you for sharing this. Being in your own head can be a dark and terrible place. but inspiration from a man in your position can help more than you know. thank you
This song hit a cord deep in me. I try not to let the darker side of these lyrics effect me but, with yen comes yang. When it came down to it, with the barrel in my mouth, I couldn't do it. 5 minutes later one of my marines called me in crisis himself. I almost took the utmost selfish path and wouldn't have been there to practice what it truly means to be a US Marine. Fidelity to my brothers.
Wow!! Just wow!!! To have a back story like you have and to be standing on the platform still is an honour in itself. We are all blessed with having you here to be able to tell your story, this hits close to my heart as my father took his own life and that was hard ( I have to mourn him longer than I knew him 😢)
If the heart were to feel nothing, this would be the moment it beats again. These lyrics help to rise from the ashes. Shedding the weight of the monster that lives within. Thank You. Not everyone can be vulnerable and allow anyone to see past the surface. You have and it’s a beautiful thing. It’s because to be authentic is to open up the space between.
I am haunted by a phone call I didn't make years ago when I had a friends number pulled up and ready to dial but then decided "no, she wanted to be left alone and I'll respect that. She'll be cool." She wasn't cool and I think all the time if things would have been different if I had called her that day. I love the message of this song. Thanks for inspiring hope to those that need it.
God damn, this happened in 2012? I've been listening to you since 2007, and I remember hearing about this story in remember when. I thought it was much further in the past, that is fucking brutal. It's real good to have you here with us man.
Incredibly grateful to finally hear it in its entirety. Life by design, that moment. Einstein once said that coincidence was God's way of staying anonymous. The "now" certainly is grateful that you answered that call and went into service from the depths of hell on earth. This song is everything. More than you'll ever know.

Thank you 🙏💯
What a kind soul. That is beautiful ❤

Wise words.
I'm alive today because of my son. Seeing him born , holding him for the first time showed me i have a reason to stay clean 6yrs now.
Congratulations on not only being a dad, but also being clean/sober. Keep up the good work!
Good for you!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Congratulations, my daughter is the best blessing I got and my furry babies. Keep fighting and stay strong and clean.

My thoughts exactly. This song is so real and i can relate. Its nice to hear sometimes that im not alone.
I feel you
Thank you for your words. Heartfelt. 😔🖤
I agree people with mental health issues we are need to stick together and help each other by lifting us up and knowing we are not alone

@Abby Williams Go away
Agreed man great song

Like he’s soul is talking to all of us❤️ With love❤️
My son took his life almost 13 years ago, I tried 6 years ago on his anniversary. I can't say I'm glad I didn't succeed, but some days are better than others.
The teasers of this song have already been on replay, this song is going to hit somewhere pure for me and many others 🤟👊🖤

This song is DEEP for me!
Thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes stories like this are what help others remember to stay strong & keep going. We all have a purpose, and so many others need us, but we fail to realize that when we are battling our own demons.
Thank you 🙏🏽
He became a beast
I'm a problem solver and every time I am struggling myself it helps to me to find someone else to help or something to fix to clear my mind. Many times, when I'm struggling, I pray for someone to call me for help or just to talk about their struggles and make my own feel like they are not as important at the moment.
As someone who has been struggling with mental health issues most of his life this song really hit home for me and brought a tear to my eye. This song is absolutely amazing and more people need to hear it's message
I thought that was Chris Cornell for 5 seconds and then i realized..im speechless🐺✨💥🌹💥🔥🔥
🙏🏾
My mother passed away a year ago I fell into such a deep pit of depression and I was almost out of it. This week I lost my father. This song came up and I’ve cried so much listening to it. Thank you for sharing such a hard experience in your life with the world!
I don’t think I’ve ever truly resonated with a song as much as I have with this. Just listening to it reminds me of how hopeless I was, and how incredibly far I’ve come. Thank you for telling your story, and giving those people in that hopeless mindset a message ❤️
Coming from someone who has been suicidal and severely depressed all my life….thank you. 😭
this is going to be the anthem for people who are truly suffering this hits hard in alot of ways its beautiful we are all here for a reason...this was yours 💜
This song took me back to 3 years Ago. I was about to hang myself. As I was about to step out of this realm. I heard my dad's voice(he passed in 1987). I heard "everything is going to be alright." I was about to leave my wife, kids, everything behind. 3years later I'm still here. 2yrs sober. And kicking Ass day after day. For anyone reading this. You are loved, you are important. Things will get better I promise.
I've been sober for nearly 100 days now, and it's mainly because I let someone in. The last 6 months of my life have been the best of my life. I found myself, I regained my passion for professional wrestling, I found my soul mate, someone I truly love more than myself. I use your song, Cancel The King, as my entrance music. You got me through some dark times through your music. Thank you Tommy, and a special thank you to the one I let in.
Every day, dealing with depression and anxiety, which sucks. Cuz the anxiety makes the depression worse, and falling down in a deep hole, makes the depression worse. Always worrying if the next day could be my last.
this song was my confirmation from universe to heal my worst phase of my traumatic past of life! 🤲🙏Thanks universe thanks 🙏to this great singer!🙏✌️
God is good!
Thank you for being such an inspiration to those who think that there is no way out of the darkness that they are in or have been going through. I went thru a very dark time 8 years ago, when I lost my mother (whom actually died in my arms) She was only. 58, but had a bad heart & took care of her with in-home hospice, until God called her home. At the same time, my best friend since before kindergarten (I'm now 48) was battling a very aggressive breast cancer. I was flying between AZ for Mom & PA (my home state) to spend as much time as I could with my best friend, as she ended up in hospice too. Mom passed in March 8 years ago & lost my best friend, an hour after my last visit w/her. They passed away exactly 5 months to the day from each other. I t's always been the strong one in my family & had a very traumatic childhood, but was a stronger person for it. But their deaths, so close together, took me down, hard. I never thought I would ever need "behavioral health care " until one day, I prayed that I would get hit by a bus or just not wake up. I did indeed want to die, but just didn't want my family to have to go thru that, I'm just not that selfish. The next day, I made a phone call & got into therapy. I still mourn them greatly, but I no longer feel like "it should have been me, not them" Thank you again Tommy, for sharing such a painful experience. This video may just end up saving someone else's life. ❤
NEVER, and I mean NEVER has a song hit so close to home and made me cry the first time I EVER heard it. (Never has a song made me cry period) This song is the Epitome of me. Thank you Tommy. 🔥🤘🏻
Appreciate it
@@tommyvextofficial I appreciate YOU. You may not remember me. I made the video for you with my cruiser's blue lights on showing LE support for you. The one you shared on your IG. That's why this song hits so close to home. I hope we can meet someday.
Someone was put in my path and brought my heart back to life. He has such an amazing it made me cry. I wish I could help him and some other's kids that I have met to show them that they are beautiful and my youngest. I just don't have the strength anymore.
My sons biological father fell to depression in October. This song hits home hard but I wish he had been stronger for our boy. He’s just had his 7th bday without him…
After taking care of my mom and watching her take her last breath from Brain Cancer, then 8 months later watching my grandpa take his last breath and 9 days after watching my grandma take her last breath I started struggling with severe depression and the following year almost the date of my grandma passing I lost everything in a tornado I began sinking deeper into depression but when I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Colon Cancer I hit the bottom of the black hole of depression and I honestly wanted to die! Suicide was a constant cuz I just didn't want to hurt anymore!
It's a daily battle, but 2yrs later, I'm still here and in remission.
THANK YOU, TOMMY, for writing incredible music that inspires people to keep living!
I knew this song was going to hit deep in all the feels, but damn, I didn’t know it was going to make me break down into a puddle. This song is life changing! You can literally FEEL all your emotions. Even my youngest son, the one who gave you the framed writing from his school project, broke down in tears hearing you sing this song. Tommy, I know I thank you a lot for speaking your truth & telling your story, but seriously…I can not thank you enough for sharing THIS. THIS is a song EVERYONE needs to hear.
I don't know I just feel the voice of Mr.Vext to early 2000s and late 90s Hard Rock Band main vocalist. So angelic !!
This is an amazing song… Thank God you didn’t take your life back then, we need you for the times we’re in right now
Honestly man....ive watched the door open and close so many times i cant count. Feeling lost...and...found... OMFG...so many feels
Anyone still listening to #sadwolves it's only because they know it's still Tommy's music.
Being strong for someone else always checks me out of my head. Thank you for this one, Vext!
WTF is wrong with you!
Tommy himself admitted to screaming and hitting his former bandmates!!!
He's no different from Roy Moore or Marilyn Manson
I mean, you say Sad Wolves, but that new singer is tearin' it up over there. Seriously get over yourself. I bet you're still mad when Three Days Grace got a new singer too? Go cry in a corner over it.
@@SceneGirlSceneQueens 🤣🤣🤣🤣✌🏻✌🏻
I heard this at the right time in my life. The past year has been a struggle my mental status has deminished drastically. Self harm suicidal thoughts. Last week I wrote each if my adylt children a letter apologizing to them. Thank you for this
I stumbled across your music while working at the VA. It takes a beautiful soul to see the potential in what is perceived as broken. I would love to support you and the people who make your tour possible... please come to Kansas (the single mom budget only stretches so far). I am reminded of three people: 1. The late and forever great, Chester Bennington, smiling from heaven for continuing his message. 2. My mom who I will never know because of untreated bipolar disorder. 3. The veteran who died in the hospital parking lot after eating a phentanol patch. I wish I could have helped all of them. Simple kindness can go so far.
Tommy is SUCH a badass. I don't like people knowing my favorite color, and he's singing about this?? Badass. 👍
Absolutely love this song 💜
Tommy this song has got me through so much man, dealing with a narcissistic divorce and watching my kids hurt from the pain watching their dad going through it , thank you , thank you so much for your music!
As a person who suffers from PTSD/Anxiety and a Survivor of my own personal assault, THANK YOU for this song. I now help those with similar struggles
🙏🏾
😢Depressionen sind Einbildung Tommy 😭❤️🔥
Whether I agree or disagree with the guy, one thing I can see is he used to be broken and he has been through hell and I will say this man has got on of the best voices in the music industry! Awesome song bro and thank you for not being afraid to talk about suicide and share so much with us!
Tommy you've saved me
ill never get to meet you but you saved my life
On behalf of my children...
Thank you
This song has helped me through a difficult time in my life losing friends and family this Is such a epic song
If u r listening to this song please hear this song and pass on the message if we can keep being strong for those that just need a little strength it could change a lot please here Tommy's words
That unfamiliar voice was a sign you were meant for something greater man, and you were. You touched thousands of hearts throughout your career, and with this song alone
I’m not a religious person but I do believe Angels/ guardians/ the universe comes in many forms, I believe one sent him to you. Nothing is random. You’re worth more than you know!
Everyone is here for a reason. Powerful that your tragic experience has helped others and your music/lyrics will continue to spread good.
This song is incredible...I feel you.
Thank you Tommy . Together we are strong divided we fall.
God has a big purpose for u I pray that u realize how much of an impact u can make in this chaotic world
I mentioned on one of your instagram posts for this how I had attempted taking my own life some years ago, but now hearing this song I can truly relate. Where I failed, my brother succeeded, and it tore my mom apart. As I said in that IG comment, people like yourself and my family have helped me find hope in the darkness, but I had never realized that I am my mother's strength. I thought about it and literally every time I'd start thinking those suicidal thoughts, I remember my mother, and how my brother's death tore her up, so I come back from the darkness for her. Thank you Tommy. You're a great man.
Broken people save broken people 🖤
On my hardest and darkest days I listen to this and I pull myself together. You are a gem Tommy.
I'm Bipolar and my daughter is ADHD.
THIS SONG TOUGHED ME DEEPLY!!!
I was in tears by the first “destination”. At the second “destination”, I was smiling through the tears. Your ability to convey and evoke raw emotion with your voice is incredible. I’m so glad you’re here. ❤️
I was a BW fan and thats how I knew you. But I wanted to say i just listened to your podcast. Man, ive been listening to all your music for almost two days now. Youre such an amazing human and thank you for not only being strong for others, but for yourself too.
I appreciate that
We forget what our purpose in the world is. We are all here for one another and when we stop and pay attention for the slightest second you can see most people are just looking for someone to really talk to. Humanity is broken but not gone. This song is great. A helping hand in music form
Thanks!
🙏🏾
Can't listen to this song without crying lately. Thank you tommy! I love your heart ❤️
Really needed this tonight missing the family i let addiction take from me. Going on 90 days sober and a life time to come.
My whole life I have battled with depression and didn’t know why I was alive. Kept thinking I’d just end it but music like this kept me going then one year ago I found my purpose in life. I found out I was having a son and now I live for him.
I'm Not alone..THANK YOUS..
Going through dark times mentally is such an isolating and terrifying and hopeless experience. Thank you for sharing your own personal experience with mental health, I think you have given a voice to thousands who suffer in silence on the daily. Thank you for sharing your own battles and experiences. Mental health is so so important.
I send this to you Rich. If you can look down from heaven and just listen maybe this would have saved you. 😞
I listened to Tommy talk about his journey from addict to sobriety coach on a podcast a few months ago and heard the story of the yellow line in detail. It's something I'll remember for a long time and that's only ratcheted my respect for Tommy up to 11. I've never dealt with suicidal thinking but I have dealt with addiction and Tommy's music and story always help renew my motivation to become a better man.
✝️♥️🎼🙏 Independent Artist 🇺🇸
This song went right to my soul . My son tried to leave this world but God brought him back to me . This song will help us both heal . THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS❤️
I shared this song with brother because I know he goes through depressed states. Without him I wouldn't have gone to get my high school diploma equivalant.
Tommy, your music hits me way different than other music's when I'm dealing with depression and hard times I always come back and listen to this masterpiece it always makes me feel good and makes me forget the hard times so god bless you and keep up on these great musics like these
I can relate to this song because I stood in his shoes at one time, and I have been the strength for someone else.
I am an empath and let me tell you without knowing very much at all about this man I can tell you this song is beyond genuine and comes straight from Tommy's heart. Listening to this I felt a whirlwind of emotions and I haven't had that happen with a song in a long time.
Thank you for allowing me to feel this Tommy and I hope this helps countless people out there.
it's a hard task to be working inside of your own mind, but you sir still stopping to help someone else, it has meaning, and worth. thank you for sharing this. Being in your own head can be a dark and terrible place. but inspiration from a man in your position can help more than you know. thank you
This song hit a cord deep in me. I try not to let the darker side of these lyrics effect me but, with yen comes yang. When it came down to it, with the barrel in my mouth, I couldn't do it. 5 minutes later one of my marines called me in crisis himself. I almost took the utmost selfish path and wouldn't have been there to practice what it truly means to be a US Marine. Fidelity to my brothers.
🙏🏾
Straight up goose bumps and I’m 45 .. can’t imagine .. well song.. powerful song man .. 💯
Wow!! Just wow!!! To have a back story like you have and to be standing on the platform still is an honour in itself. We are all blessed with having you here to be able to tell your story, this hits close to my heart as my father took his own life and that was hard ( I have to mourn him longer than I knew him 😢)
If the heart were to feel nothing, this would be the moment it beats again. These lyrics help to rise from the ashes. Shedding the weight of the monster that lives within. Thank You. Not everyone can be vulnerable and allow anyone to see past the surface. You have and it’s a beautiful thing. It’s because to be authentic is to open up the space between.
I am haunted by a phone call I didn't make years ago when I had a friends number pulled up and ready to dial but then decided "no, she wanted to be left alone and I'll respect that. She'll be cool." She wasn't cool and I think all the time if things would have been different if I had called her that day. I love the message of this song. Thanks for inspiring hope to those that need it.
🙏🏾
God damn, this happened in 2012? I've been listening to you since 2007, and I remember hearing about this story in remember when.
I thought it was much further in the past, that is fucking brutal.
It's real good to have you here with us man.
Incredibly grateful to finally hear it in its entirety. Life by design, that moment. Einstein once said that coincidence was God's way of staying anonymous. The "now" certainly is grateful that you answered that call and went into service from the depths of hell on earth. This song is everything. More than you'll ever know.
If someone is thinking of ending it, please don’t. Just know that u are worthy and you will make it.
