    Serj is a true artist. He puts across a message that most don't dare to touch at this level, and conveys it in a way thats understandable and personal for everyone. I have the most respect for Serj and what he stands for. Not to mention he's an amazing musician.

    • @skylarcarson1120
      @skylarcarson1120 9 років тому +36

      I dont think Serj is the only one. I recognize other artists do this, but I'm speaking about Serj. Just because I commented on his video doesn't mean I think he's the only artist that speaks through their lyrics. I quite obviously dont listen to as much Black Sabbath as I do Serj, so thatd explain why im on his video commenting, instead of theirs (I'm not bashing Sabbath, I like them, but I just don't listen to as much.)

      "most don't dare to touch". Not saying nobody does, but most dont, especially now a days. I'm not saying what you said is wrong, and I'm not going to argue, I'm clearly saying what I beleive now in these comments, and if you don't agree well then, its okay, we all have opinions, you aren't entitled to agree with me, nor am I with you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    This song gets me every single time I listen to it. Serj is a true poet, and amazing vocalist.
    As for the message, I feel like people look down on the homeless, and completely turn a blind eye to their own imperfections and shitty habits. The children at the end don't see the man as a person to be judged, instead they were empathetic and wanted to help.

    • @fredbloggs8369
      @fredbloggs8369 2 роки тому +1

      You know, nobody knows what landed a person on the streets. It's often self-inflicted, drugs, alcohol etc. but not always. Mental health, domestic abuse, economic ruin - a lot of things can land you on the streets. And even when it's drugs or alcohol, there's usually something traumatic behind the addiction. We should all stop being so judgemental at least without knowing the facts. If Bernie Madoff ended up on the streets, I wouldn't mind, but most people don't deserve that fate. BTW - this song rocks.

    • @ochiruko2874
      @ochiruko2874 2 місяці тому

      @fredbloggs, speaking from the perspective of an extremely privileged white kid who lives near nyc:
      I don’t think I (we?) look down at homeless people for landing themselves on the streets. instead, I (we?) feel an ugly cocktail of pity, shame, caution, and disgust. That kind of judgement is comprensible to some extent, but it’s also awful, self-perpetuating, difficult to avoid instinctively making, and so, so harmful.

    Lyrics:
    Why do we sit around and break each other's hearts tonight?
    Why do we dance around the issues 'till the morning light?
    When we sit and talk and tear each other's lives apart.
    You were the one to tell me go...
    But you were the one for me,
    And now you're going through the door,
    When you take that step I love you baby more and more,
    We need to laugh and sing and cry and warm each other's hearts tonight,
    Observing fun of everything and loving all our mother's... God
    Tearing us,
    You're tearing us,
    You're breaking us,
    You're breaking us,
    You're carrying us,
    Carrying us,
    You're saving us,
    You're saving us...
    Why do we sit around and break each other's hearts tonight?
    Why do we dance around the issues 'till the morning light?
    When we sit and talk and tear each other's lives apart.
    You were the one to tell me go...
    But you were the one for me,
    And now you're going through the door,
    When you take that step I love you baby more and more,
    We need to laugh and sing and cry and warm each other's hearts tonight,
    Observing fun of everything and loving all our mother's... God
    Forever alive,
    Forever alive,
    Forever,
    And never and never again...
    You're tearing us,
    You're tearing us,
    You're breaking us,
    You're breaking us,
    You're killing us,
    Killing us,
    You're saving us,
    You're saving us..

    I have no homeless people near me, and it makes me happy for alot that they have a roof over their heads... but too many people i know edge closer and closer... I wish I had money to give them, and i wish they didnt have to deal with this. But whenever they say they are homeless, I tell them they are wrong. So long as your heart is beating and you can love and see the good in yourself and others, you are not homeless, you are houseless... Your soul is within you and the caring feeling you get is truly your home.

      Well Im someone who would not mind sharing a house with someone like that. The biggest issue with this at the time was my friend from Ohio was going homeless and nobody could help him too easily. Especialy myself with no car and being on a far half of Pennsylvania. I however got him a truck driver that could get his personal belongings incasse he had to loose them. Luckily someone loaned him a basement and he could stay off the streets long enough to get money for a new place to stay, and he was able to keep all his stuff.

    • @katiedreier6812
      @katiedreier6812 9 років тому +3

      Come to Portland Oregon and tell me you feel pity for every homeless person. Homelessness is a shame and a problem, however a lot of them do it to themselves through endless poor choices, addictions and bad habits. I do think more people need to help them but a lot of people talk about helping but never do. My mother passed away last year in the streets because the new Mayor of Portland decided to cut a lot of programs helping the mentally ill homeless. She overdosed in a homeless camp downtown. People need to start helping each other as well as themselves.
      Everyone is so damned busy with their self-importance; they only claim to want to help when they feel bad or when it makes them look good. Ever invite a friend in off the streets to eat and shower in your home? I have. Get out and help someone instead of typing, texting, tweeting or blogging about it!

      +Akane Okanaya Im ashamed of not crying here, but I already did cry 100% on Disturbed - sounds of silence
      oh yeah and I cried on the streets a lil today, when I was actually smiling, so maybe I thought im out of tears. The ONE AND ONLY doesn't exist, but in the physical world real human beings like me do.
      SO
      talked to a almost-homeless man, old, old-fart-care aint doing it for him, he takes 20 tablets a day he said, he mostly eats, shits and lies in his bed, he showed me his bags and all the stuff on him (in wheelchair). Antonov Stojan
      Another one, fell from the roof, 18 m he said (I think its alil exaggerated) lost his job, got pushed around and I found him on the street, they call him wolf, didn't give me his name
      found a mother-son in the station 1-2 AM. Were trying to go to some Refugee camp, didn't give these ones any money though, instead bought them from Mcdonalds (well SORRY, nothing was open) asked for hot milk, nopes, so I bought COLD O-Juice and a 9McNuggets, dont think there is anything else in there with better nutirition. Tried helping them with the trains and all, didn't know their language, used my hands. Its not difficult.
      Im Just over 20, but what I went through people seem to count equal with their bitchcrafting GF, asshole BF, mad/screaming parents. I ain't gonna write about me here. You can find me on the site "Fight against ISISThis is how you may ignorantly be promoting ISIS agenda". There is a lil of me on there

      It's upsetting to know there's so many homeless people around the world and that some of the people who "have it all" won't give a little something to them to help them out. They're human beings just like the rest of us, they have needs. Most of the homeless people have to deal with the kind of stuff that no one should have to deal with and they're always wondering what their next meal is going to be. They don't get a comfortable bed at night with a proper roof over their heads for protection from the weather.

I give Serj Tankian and Kevin Estrada great thanks in producing this video. Very great acting by the homeless man as well. You can tell even though he doesn't speak yet through his eyes you can see his pain.

    If anyone survives past this year, I want you to know this song was never more relevant until now. After an attempt at WWIII, Natural Disasters, Government meltdowns, and Civil unrest becoming civil disputes, We are in the world largest riot, and god knows what else comes next, the world is still turning, and burning. But if you survived, know that every lyric in this song has a meaning... now more than ever.

    When this first album dropped I bought it immediately as I loved serj in SOAD and I love the twist he did with it all, not one song he's done does not have a message about it, and for you too understand the message Is the point of these songs, humanity has to wakeup but in order too do so it has too start within yourself not an external source or some deity or whatever people believe in!

  • @fredbloggs8369
    @fredbloggs8369 2 роки тому +2

    Serj is just amazing. I think he's possibly my favourite modern artist. People talk of his octave range, but that's not the juice for me. It's the emotion he infuses into his singing, with that wonderful Armenian twist. And the uniqueness of his songwriting. Who sounds like Serj? Frankly, some people find his voice a little much at times (not me), but I just imbibe the mood and emotion. His songs give me such inspiration.
    In this song, another of my (about 50) fave songs of his, he sounds so grief ridden in the verse, positively desperate in the chorus, particularly the final chorus. Finally, I don't think I've seen a video of Serj's that hasn't been brilliant in and of itself. He's the thinking person's rock star. F^&king pop with its bubblegum song writing and saccharine lyrics!
    The biggest compliment I can pay Serj is - I don't give a sh*t about celebrity - I couldn't care less about meeting most so called rock stars, getting their autographs and fawning over their brilliance. But I would relish a chance to spend an hour over coffee with Serj because I just think it would be a fascinating conversation. Next time you're in Canberra, let's share a brew Serj!

    I think the signs represent the excuses people made to themselves for not giving money to the homeless guy. The two really positive signs where the last two that the girls who shared the money had: hope, faith. The rest of the signs weren't necessarily good or bad, but they were facts of our society and things people beleive in and others the impact we have by doing daily rutines or activities.
