Tazzi R same! I must have heard one of the singles on the radio from his last album but my brother played it all of they time and it's amazing! Not listened to it all but it's up there with my favourite albums. Usually I don't hear many full albums unless someone I know has played them but I really love it. Couldn't track down a CD so not got it yet though
Nah dont be, the fewer people who do know his music actually value his work that's all that means. Appreciate tf outta him while we still have him because when music like this becomes a commodity the industry and the public are going to try and run him into the ground and not know it nor care.
Three years later and this song still hits harder than any song I’ve ever listened to. To have an artist who so uniquely understands what it’s like to be someone with mental illness, it feels like he’s crawled in my mind and put words to things I never could. Thank you Jacob. This song, and your music has helped me out of some really dark places. Even in the worst of it, your music was like a best friend that was always there for me, that somehow knew exactly what I was going through and feeling. It validated my pain and told me it was okay. Just…thank you for that. I means a lot that I’m never alone when it’s the darkest.
he put my mental illness into words i feel less alone now that this song exists, thank you Raleigh your life is important, thank you for sharing your talent
Binge watching GoT. Asked google a question and I wind up here on UA-cam listening to this amazing talented man. I'm in season 7 and I dont care anymore!
lyrics for anyone that was interested. Hold me for a minute I'm just that far away From being considered Clinically insane I need your attention Affection is my way Out of the danger zone I feel no lightness Days like this are priceless Given myself licence to indulge in all my vices Woah, don't go Withdrawal is my soul Weakness, I'm cold Smoke [draws?] Smoke blows from my nose And keeps me warm I know where I'm going I've seen limbo before Straight jacket Put on my straight jacket I'm on a different planet Let it go, don't panic I'm fine Can't hack it My mind is at it again I'm manic, I'm manic Straight jacket Put on my straight jacket I'm on a different planet Let it go, don't panic I'm fine Can't hack it My mind is at it again I'm manic, I'm manic Split right down the middle And half of me is fine My mind is a riddle Typical Gemini Star signs are my excuse To hide this type of self abuse I feel no lightness Days like this are priceless Given myself licence to indulge in all my vices Please don't mind me I'm on borrowed time It's space I need to validate my life I wanna roll with the punches Go rouge, programming Change no I don't want it Wanna break out No I put my straightjacket on And go home I don't wanna be here no more I don't wanna go Straight jacket Put on my straight jacket I'm on a different planet Let it go, don't panic I'm fine Can't hack it My mind is at it again I'm manic, I'm manic Straight jacket Put on my straight jacket I'm on a different planet Let it go, don't panic I'm fine Can't hack it My mind is at it again I'm manic, I'm manic The devil's in my head Stirring up a mess Taking advantage of my unsteadiness My readiness for death The vans are pulling up Fuck if I know why I'm hearing cuckcoo clocks I'm seeing angels in the sky The war is almost started The cavalry's on time Fight amongst the foot soldiers But the war is in my mind The war is in my mind [Outro] Straight jacket Straight jacket Straight jacket Don't panic Straight jacket Straight jacket Don't want it
I KNOW it's wrong that I and most of my friends don't pay for music, tbh most people don't these days, but after hearing this song and few others of his I went straight to iTunes and bought his albums!! Best investment ever , I listen to it everyday to work which used to be an annoying 1 hour drive!! Thanks Jacob!!!
That's what i thought too, about this one and "Stronger than ever". The lyrics seem to suggest so and i wonder if maybe he's struggling with something. Stay strong!
Started following Jacob after watching "Interview with the Vampire", saw his Insta post about his new song and have since listened to his entire discography in the past few days, obsessed would be an understatement
I'm amazed by how well he can demonstrate different emotions. The happiness expression starting at 1:40 got me really hard. It makes me think of when was the last time that I felt this kind of happiness.
Is anyone else freaked out by Jacob's facial expressions? I'm so use to his blank look in Game of Thrones that this kinda scares me lol. Fantastic song though.
I honestly didn’t really think much of the song at first and then I watched the video and It just clicked. I’ve been obsessed with the lyrics the production everything for the last two years. I need more
I am so glad that I discovered him and his songs. They relate to me to a horrifying extent and it's like someone helping you to speak out the unspeakable.
I’ve never had a reaction like I just had to a song before. Wow, that’s all I have to say, is wow. I started balling my eyes out. That Gemini line hit me hard. I’m so happy I found you, thank you.
Took me like my tenth viewing to realize the car at the end is looping. All of Jacobs videos seem to have that one caveat near the end that undercuts the dramatic tension or brevity to sober the mood. Love it.
you inspire me so much, you are a lyrical and communicative genius expressing urself perfectly and no one can keep up with you, when u said ur lyrics have deeper meanings and you never tell anyone, and later in this song you says its all in our minds and we decide what you say basically. but i feel closer to you mate. you are a amazing person to me
oh my..... this song hit my state of mind right now tonight, msging my friends feeling manning changing meds, wanting reassurance im not going to feel trapped again.
You are a beautiful person Raleigh Ritchie and it really shows through your music. I wish more people could see your talent. This song, Stronger Than Ever, Sicko, Bloodsport, You're a Man Now, Boy, etc are all so good. My heart sings when you perform!! Please never stop making music.
Even though I live thousands of miles away, I truly hope I'll be able to see this live one day. But in the meanwhile, I'll just keep supporting and buying the albums with whatever I can save every month as the broke college student that I am.
In all honesty, this is how I was during the summer. I'm a bit better but I'm not even sure how survived. I wasn't able to sleep or eat, everything in me was giving up. I'm still here but I'll manage.
One of the few artists which have every song enjoyable. Jacob is talented dude and his music really hits me in feelings. I just don't understand he isn't that famous..
I'm not sure what was going through your head whilst writing these beautiful lyrics, but I took it towards my own situation and everything just fitted together. Wether you wrote these lyrics based on your own world right now or wether it was imagined and written, I applaud your creativity. Thanks for a lovely song
Another great song. Raleigh really has his own place in the music world for me at the moment. Really under the commercial radar for some reason at the moment. Sure his music will explode soon.
Those other songs on the EP were PERFECT, but this song is just something else.. Glad it got a video, eagerly awaiting the next one man, KEEP IT UP! MY GOD!
Great actor, funny, nice guy, and he's also a great fuckin song writer and singer. Really unfair Jacob.
Eon Buendia check him out on game grumps! he's so funny
Yeah I saw those vids
Makes me even angrier on how unfair Jacob is
Eon Buendia a true rival to Donald Glover
you think it's unfair being in your shoes? try being in jacobs. it isnt easy being an angel; no one is stopping you from choosing that path.
I'm mad at how underrated he is
Tazzi R same! I must have heard one of the singles on the radio from his last album but my brother played it all of they time and it's amazing!
Not listened to it all but it's up there with my favourite albums. Usually I don't hear many full albums unless someone I know has played them but I really love it.
Couldn't track down a CD so not got it yet though
Right??
Nah dont be, the fewer people who do know his music actually value his work that's all that means. Appreciate tf outta him while we still have him because when music like this becomes a commodity the industry and the public are going to try and run him into the ground and not know it nor care.
So damn true
IM FUMING TOO
It is impossible to believe that there is this much depth, power, and capacity in one Being! He must write wonder-lyrics in his sleep❣️
Three years later and this song still hits harder than any song I’ve ever listened to.

How has no one realised his talent after 'stronger than ever'...
Dankus Memus that's what I don't get either!
Yeah. He deserves much more. He is amazing at what he does.
You mean why hasn't he sold out to a major label / mtv / pop radio crap? Because it's not his style most likely.
people realise his talent, almost 4k likes is no joke, i agree he deserves more, but still...
They have game of thrones
Raleigh Ritchie directed this himself. It's his debut video direction. I say he did amazing.
This is in my top 3 songs of all time. It scratches an itch in my neurodivergent brain that no other song can
"I know where I'm going I've seen limbo before" man.
“fighting monster foot soldiers but the war is in my mind” a lyric that til this day circles around my head
how is your music not more widely recognised?
You need to sell out aka sell your soul for that
Because this is just a part time job.. he is full time unsullied
I know right crazyyy, he's so lyrically and vocally gifted
he put my mental illness into words i feel less alone now that this song exists, thank you Raleigh your life is important, thank you for sharing your talent
I just love how you're really... true. That's the clearest way I can put it, Raleigh Ritchie.
I love what he does with his facial expression in this video...as if hes actually having an episode. He was really into this video
Binge watching GoT. Asked google a question and I wind up here on UA-cam listening to this amazing talented man. I'm in season 7 and I dont care anymore!
lyrics for anyone that was interested.
Hold me for a minute
I'm just that far away
From being considered
Clinically insane
I need your attention
Affection is my way
Out of the danger zone
I feel no lightness
Days like this are priceless
Given myself licence to indulge in all my vices
Woah, don't go
Withdrawal is my soul
Weakness, I'm cold
Smoke [draws?]
Smoke blows from my nose
And keeps me warm
I know where I'm going
I've seen limbo before
Straight jacket
Put on my straight jacket
I'm on a different planet
Let it go, don't panic
I'm fine
Can't hack it
My mind is at it again
I'm manic, I'm manic
Straight jacket
Put on my straight jacket
I'm on a different planet
Let it go, don't panic
I'm fine
Can't hack it
My mind is at it again
I'm manic, I'm manic
Split right down the middle
And half of me is fine
My mind is a riddle
Typical Gemini
Star signs are my excuse
To hide this type of self abuse
I feel no lightness
Days like this are priceless
Given myself licence to indulge in all my vices
Please don't mind me
I'm on borrowed time
It's space I need to validate my life
I wanna roll with the punches
Go rouge, programming
Change no I don't want it
Wanna break out
No I put my straightjacket on
And go home
I don't wanna be here no more
I don't wanna go
Straight jacket
Put on my straight jacket
I'm on a different planet
Let it go, don't panic
I'm fine
Can't hack it
My mind is at it again
I'm manic, I'm manic
Straight jacket
Put on my straight jacket
I'm on a different planet
Let it go, don't panic
I'm fine
Can't hack it
My mind is at it again
I'm manic, I'm manic
The devil's in my head
Stirring up a mess
Taking advantage of my unsteadiness
My readiness for death
The vans are pulling up
Fuck if I know why
I'm hearing cuckcoo clocks
I'm seeing angels in the sky
The war is almost started
The cavalry's on time
Fight amongst the foot soldiers
But the war is in my mind
The war is in my mind
[Outro]
Straight jacket
Straight jacket
Straight jacket
Don't panic
Straight jacket
Straight jacket
Don't want it
Thanks......
Obrigado
Posted the lyrics 💯 "I wanna roll with the punches Go rouge, programming." I heard Go rogue. U G got mixed up, or i heard it wrong.
I KNOW it's wrong that I and most of my friends don't pay for music, tbh most people don't these days, but after hearing this song and few others of his I went straight to iTunes and bought his albums!! Best investment ever , I listen to it everyday to work which used to be an annoying 1 hour drive!! Thanks Jacob!!!
I literally like every single song he makes.
I can see how he can be so successful in playing Louis
The fact that this doesn't have at least 1 million views is a crime
I feel like all of his songs are about depression. It's not a bad thing, I love em all. They help me through my bad episodes...
That's what i thought too, about this one and "Stronger than ever". The lyrics seem to suggest so and i wonder if maybe he's struggling with something. Stay strong!
Please this guy should be seen !! He is good
This song speaks to me on a level i can't even express.
wow this man can do no wrong another hit!
That Tear at 1:42
I love your songs so much!!! dont stop making them💘
yuli barel Some of the best music.
DJ Squishy indeed!
yuli barel I'm really enjoying his stuff.
udyy hijujjuuzubjhyt8j
Amazing song. The music video told so much just through emotions and faces.
Jacob Anderson, you are amazing
THERES A VIDEO YES. THIS IS A MASTERPIECE OF A SONG
Started following Jacob after watching "Interview with the Vampire", saw his Insta post about his new song and have since listened to his entire discography in the past few days, obsessed would be an understatement
I'm amazed by how well he can demonstrate different emotions. The happiness expression starting at 1:40 got me really hard. It makes me think of when was the last time that I felt this kind of happiness.
it's like he's in my head with these lyrics. couldn't have found this song at a better time
Keep coming back to this. What a divine peace of art!!
Is anyone else freaked out by Jacob's facial expressions? I'm so use to his blank look in Game of Thrones that this kinda scares me lol.
Fantastic song though.
Jake Brown yeah I was like "Is this the same guy? I don't know what he looks like anymore"
Jake Brown just watch adulthood
Jake Brown lol pretty sure that's why he used so many crazy ones here. To freak people out
Jake Brown righttt but those are so real too
This is before he became an Unsullied.
7 years later still hits. Classic song.
This man is a music genius
Damn, I love that last bit starting from 3:22...
my hero. i hope he performs on graham norton again.
You're awesome Raleigh Ritchie!!
It started with his song Bloodsport now I love most of his song. Great artist. 💚💛
I honestly didn’t really think much of the song at first and then I watched the video and It just clicked. I’ve been obsessed with the lyrics the production everything for the last two years. I need more
an perfect actor and a singer omfg
I am so glad that I discovered him and his songs. They relate to me to a horrifying extent and it's like someone helping you to speak out the unspeakable.
Same here
I’ve never had a reaction like I just had to a song before. Wow, that’s all I have to say, is wow. I started balling my eyes out. That Gemini line hit me hard. I’m so happy I found you, thank you.
the lyrics of this song are so deep, the beautiful beat lightens it up , but I feel this on a spiritual level 🔥
how has he not been recognized more
2:12 - 2:41 what great soulful flow. I love it.
Back here again this year. This song feels timeless.
Freaking out now that we finally have the whole EP, I'd been watching for the rest of it for longest
HE IS BEAUTIFUL
This is totally the new "Stronger than Ever"
Lyrics in your songs are so outstanding. Truly unique. I wish more song writers were so talented. Thank you for this art work.
Took me like my tenth viewing to realize the car at the end is looping. All of Jacobs videos seem to have that one caveat near the end that undercuts the dramatic tension or brevity to sober the mood. Love it.
Best song you've ever done imo
This song deserves millions of views. I'm a fan of your music as well as your acting.
you inspire me so much, you are a lyrical and communicative genius expressing urself perfectly and no one can keep up with you, when u said ur lyrics have deeper meanings and you never tell anyone, and later in this song you says its all in our minds and we decide what you say basically. but i feel closer to you mate. you are a amazing person to me
u did it, on your own
thanks mate ..... (rolling)
oh my..... this song hit my state of mind right now tonight, msging my friends feeling manning changing meds, wanting reassurance im not going to feel trapped again.
3:09 And really the ending that speaks to me. Causal reminder that your mind is a curse but wonderful place
this was beautiful :-(
this needs more views !!!!!!! all the music he's made has been fucking amazing, people spread his name around he needs more fans dang it
You are a beautiful person Raleigh Ritchie and it really shows through your music. I wish more people could see your talent. This song, Stronger Than Ever, Sicko, Bloodsport, You're a Man Now, Boy, etc are all so good. My heart sings when you perform!! Please never stop making music.
2019... This song is everything.
Even though I live thousands of miles away, I truly hope I'll be able to see this live one day. But in the meanwhile, I'll just keep supporting and buying the albums with whatever I can save every month as the broke college student that I am.
Yay the English Frank Ocean is back :P Raleigh is a G ......
you probably dont know sampha, right? you should, tho. sounds like the same
Haha found this comment funny. English Frank ocean
I love you. I was born March 11...in Bethlehem. 5 decades ago
god this song is so fucking good. this entire EP is. one of my favorite singers out there. he deserves so much more recognition than he's getting.
this lifted my soul!!! another beautiful song!!!
In all honesty, this is how I was during the summer. I'm a bit better but I'm not even sure how survived. I wasn't able to sleep or eat, everything in me was giving up. I'm still here but I'll manage.
I like his music he’s talented it’s dope
These lyrics are fucking genius? This is one Of The most genuine artists out there, yet he is so not known
honestly one of the BEST artists of this generation!!! never disappoints
One of the few artists which have every song enjoyable. Jacob is talented dude and his music really hits me in feelings. I just don't understand he isn't that famous..
he did it again man this got me all emotional I'm in my feelings but this is great I love you man keep making more beautiful music
thank game of thrones producers for exposing amazing talented people like this
Everything this man does is GOLD!!! It's timeless
I've been listening to these all days. I was sick, in surgery, came out and listened to this. I''m feeling better, thanks. It lifts me.....
Damn this song is underrated 😭it deserves more than 10m at least
This man is so abesolutely wonderful!! I pray he continues to grow and keeps writing such raw and open music 🥰🥰🥰🥰
WTF 421k only this masterpiece deserve at lest 100m
Another great song from an amazing artist.
I'm not sure what was going through your head whilst writing these beautiful lyrics, but I took it towards my own situation and everything just fitted together. Wether you wrote these lyrics based on your own world right now or wether it was imagined and written, I applaud your creativity. Thanks for a lovely song
His facial expressions show how we hide pain under a smile. god bless yall
This might be my favorite song ever.
This song should be recognized for a award. These lyrics and production is brilliant.
Another great song. Raleigh really has his own place in the music world for me at the moment. Really under the commercial radar for some reason at the moment. Sure his music will explode soon.
Really feeling this guy's music. sounds amazing on Vinyl.
2021 and he is still amazing
i dont think i could begin to love this song and this man any more
Every song you make I love.
how can someone be this *beautiful*
I need music like this, it's harder being an adult than anyone ever prepares you for
omg you have just discribed my dark place in a beautiful song....thank you Raleigh Ritchie(Jacob)🎈
Your one of my favourite artists FACT !!!! I relate to the lyrics thanks 😊
Your songs have been speaking to me so strongly. Than you for your music.
love you, your music, your acting, anything you do is a masterpiece!
I really appreciate your gift, Raleigh, thank you for sharing with us ♥
love this guy. glad to see new music from him! super chill vibe and an easy listen
I love this song, this guy has musical talent writing and directing this himself. Khalessi let me sing for you
It's incredible how literally EVERY single one of his songs is amazing, awesome actor and in my opinion even better musician. Great talent
It's so good to hear music about another mind at war that soothes my own. Thank you for this song Jacob.
Those other songs on the EP were PERFECT, but this song is just something else.. Glad it got a video, eagerly awaiting the next one man, KEEP IT UP! MY GOD!
