Lyrics start at 3:30.
She was alone in the bathroom , eyes fixed like a statue.
Wrists sore, and her face bruised, she just waiting for more bad news.
Now she white like a full moon, she can't bear what the tests prove
at a crossroads, need a rescue, 'cause whatchu gonna do?
Hold on...
She's waiting between worlds...
Wish she could tell him "Hold on"...
I'm waiting between worlds.
He was lookin' at a pale sunrise,
thinking back on a time gone by,
how he loved, and he laughed, and he cried.
how it all was a blink of an eye.
Now he's lookin' at the shake in his hand,
thinkin' "How much more of life can he stand?"
And how many more years can he cram,
before his fate gives way and he's ash in the sand
and is it the last stop on the road,
or the next step in a path grand and unknown
A milestone formed from the fruits of his ways,
okay in what comes with the end of his days
but the sun's rays shine on a face so divine,
"An angel of mine" goes the phrase in his mind
wise to the signs, knowing soon is the time
but he isn't ready to say goodbye.
Hold on...
She's waiting between worlds...
Wish she could tell him "Hold on"...
I'm waiting between worlds.
4AM, when she woke to the sound,
walked to the door in her bedtime gown,
policeman said that her son's been found,
he was shot in the head near a club downtown,
and the terror in her heart was profound
her legs broke down, she collapsed to the ground
as the walls were spinning all around
He said, "ma'am please, you need to come right now",
so she's sitting down dazed in a cop car,
swevering through lanes in a maze where the crazed are
and locked in a haze from the shock.
Thoughts frayed as they stop with her stomach in knots
"Lord please end the nightmare"
are the words in her mind as they raced inside
"Lord please end the nightmare"
In the hospital ward in the eye of the storm
"Miss, I regret to say there's not much hope I can give today,
the assault took much of his brain away,
we've done all we can, but his state is grave.
Best case here is he'll live on machines,
with a vegetable quality of life foreseen,
or instead we can pull out the feed,
let him live his last moments and he'll pass in a dream."
Hold on,
we're waiting between worlds
wish she could tell him to "Hold on",
we're waiting between worlds
Waiting between worlds that divide through a choice undefined,
a break in the line where all paths intertwine,
and no roads lead or progress behind,
and all the signs read: "Know the way. Decide."
They say all things never truly die,
but change in existence and switch design
like a drain to an ocean in which we're blind
we remain set in motion from worlds combined,
so if I had one thought that would last and hold,
amass and fold over as it fastly grows,
and fuse it into life like a fabric sewn,
clasp the vast field whence existence flows,
Id say settle down, of your grief let go,
the world's nothing more than a magic show,
thought tragic at times and encased in woe,
it all works out, of this truth I know.
nice
speechless...
love it
He says "with a questionable quality of life foreseen" not a vegetable quality of life foreseen. Lol 😂
Possible Sanity I'm quite certain it's "vegetable". You can hear the 'j' sound, and there's no 'kw' sound.
A childhood friend of mine got in a bad car accident a few days ago. He’s on the brink of being declared brain dead. I’ve got half a million memories running through my head. My hearts breaking for his mother. She’s a great person, the whole family is. I wish there was something I could do other than wait.
How is it going now, if I may ask?
@@krzyniu4674 he didn’t make it. Was declared brain dead and they had to take him off life support. Family donated his organs though and saved 6 other people and prayed at the funeral that they’d be blessed to live long lives. I don’t know how in the hell they’re so strong. He had 5 younger siblings.
@@mckayleem3098 well how did you handle it if I may ask?
@@LoomerCuber meh. Not great I guess. Kind of started spiraling after. We weren't that close but he was a really good kid. I wish it was me. He had a much better shot of living a good, happy life than I do. Im not naive, this isn't my first loss, I know bad things happen to good people all the time but... I mean it was an accident. If it had to happen why not with me, someone that maybe 3 people would notice is gone rather than an entire community? And I know how that kind of loss tears a family apart and there's nothing anyone else can do, they each have to live with it now. I just... idk. There's nothing to be done but it'll never be out of my head.
How are you doing now? 🥺❤️
dat lyrics tho, man its heartbreaking and so god damn powerful at the same time, zack hemsey is just too good
ppl forget all the time to actually listen to lyrics
its deep
dem lyrics*
themuffinman amen to that
This is the peak.
This is what music was always meant to be... a powerful form of expression.
This mix or orchestra and poetry just feels like the ultimatum of music
"Now he's looking at the shake in his hand. Thinking how much more of life can he stand."
Such powerful lyrics. I got chills and goosebumps listening to this, even teared up a little. What an amazing song.
Two opposites of the music industry, rap and orchestra, coming together to make art that should be in the golden record on Voyager 1. Why this isn't nationwide famous, why I havent heard it before, why not a single person in my life other than me knows about zack hemsey; is just an unacceptable heart-wrench...
This music so so damn powerful man this is what we need in the industry now. Not fetty wap, lil wayne, or soulja boy.
+Bound4Success you missing the point of the rap that we listen to today, most of the stuff we listen to now is gibberish , yet the music industry focuses on that, yet someone like this rapslike most underground artist that raps about the truth and such with a nice hook and gets ignored, its the style that the music industry wants and monopolizes on and feel is played out, too many people don't want to hear the truth otherwise it'll turn out like fuck the police, music has a huge influence on the people and the boys upstairs don't want that on their record label
YUP
Bound4Success it is in the industry brother. And some people want to be famous and some people want to be free. ✨🦋
Lil Wayne's rap is so good man
NF?
Wow, this was an experience.
Found this song by chance about three weeks after my brother passed away. Today is his birthday. Just wanted to say this track means a lot to me. I think it found me, not the other way around. UA-cam was just playing random stuff while I was cleaning my room. It made me stop in my tracks when the lyrics started. So Cody, I'm waiting for you. And I'm holding on.
I keep coming back to this song. This is a song that really makes me feel a lot of emotions when I listen to it. It has just as much of an impact the first time it's played as the last time it's played. Whenever it is playing, I pay full attention to it. This is incredibly underrated. It may just be the best song I have ever heard and that is not exaggeration. I am glad to have discovered this and will remember it forever. I cannot give enough compliments to the artist.
+Fantastic Furry Couldn't agree more. Exactly what I was thinking.
+Fantastic Furry agree completely
Felix Snowcat This song started playing as soon as I asked the love of my life if she wanted to keep on trying to work things out, or to go our separate ways after graduation. That was the first time I ever heard this song. My relationship still has its peaks and valleys and we are far from being in a perfect relationship, but we're still trying. This song potentially saved me from letting go of my other half. Also, "The Way" also played the exact second I was about to do something to a guy which would make her hate me, then I hear that song...and it stopped a train dead in its tracks. I broke down in tears, my rage was gone because of that song, and a certain asshole in the world isn't dead, but it saved my future so I'm thankful for Zach and his masterpieces like you can't imagine.
Definitely one of my favourites!
Your comment almost slipped under the radar
Same
play this song on the radio and everyone might actually understand what good music is.
They tried and most people didnt get it because you really need to focus when listening to this type of music; not have it playing in the background while driving or shopping.
@@HowBoutUHandleDeezNutz well I listen to zack almost when doing anything. But yeah I understand what you mean.
Thank God; someone's thinking!
It feels like falling from a cliff in snowy mountains then as you are about to fall someone grabs your hand and you feel their warmth as you are getting pulled back to surface
Strangely specific... but I guess sure. I could see it
This is amazing. wow. Todays rap can never compare to this.
+Momen Akod Today's rap? Zack Hemsey is a part of today's rap... .)
findusuli you know i meant mainstream rap, the Rap most people are interested in
+Momen Akod the shit rap
Wow........This is beautiful.........I'm in tears....Just....god..........
♥
Oh my God. Zack, you are amazing. Simply astounding!
nice photo
This song just came on my Pandora and I am utterly spellbound. It hid excellently within my soundtrack station, and then out of no where...rapping?! But it WORKS. SO WELL. I can't even explain how in love with this artist I am now. Literal emotion wrapped in power.
So this is real Rap? :D
SO awesome! :D
It felt like a poetic river of feels flowing through me. Beautiful
I prefer the album Nomad to The Way, but this song far outclasses anything in Nomad. Poetic. Powerful. Heartbreaking. It's what music deserves to be.
I normally don't like rap much, but this is one of my favorite songs. Truly beautiful. The vocals just make it, I think.
You should listen to PolitikZ.
+Jozef Wicks-Sharp He's a real spiiritual lyrical individual, the best in the industry.
+BrawnyLion I AM BEAUTIFUUUUL NO MATEER WHAT THEY SAAAAAAY
WOOOORDS CANT BRING ME DOOOOOWN WOAH OH *cries*
+BrawnyLion btw how do you make the name of the person youre replying to blue and clickable
*****
A cake? You're not lying to me right now are you??
Edit: oh hey i know how to do the blue thing now... turns out it doesn't work unless you click the reply button specifically from the notifications... THANKS UA-cam!!
Woah...Only heard 1 of Zack's songs, before I stumbled into his channel...Music hasn't inspired this kind of emotion in me since Mass Effect.
then you need to play more franchises my friend
It's fucking crazy how much a song can make you feel. This has literally awoken something in me, a hunger, a need to be creative. It was beautiful and haunting, and I'm so happy I came across it.
Maybe you should listen to it again 😁.
@@nowisthetimetochange deadass can't tell if you're being passive-agressive or if you just meant the song is good.
How can something be so beautiful, depressing and inspiring all at the same time! Truly wonderful bravo!!!
Absolutely hate 99% of rap, but this is the 1% that I like.
Eminem?
Aesop Rock?
because its not classic rap... i call it musical rap and its my personal favorite kind of rap - not only straight beat, but also this moody, fluent layer of music and stunning voices
Good one
it sounds Chinese before 2:25
I don't like rap, I have never listened to rap until I listened this......This guy's a magician.
You don't like garbage, not rap...just garbage ✌
+Abdurehman Ehsan
Rap..?
+Abdurehman Ehsan
I am not partial to rap either, but damn! This song really just tore right through me.
Didn't politicize a tragedy either, just focused on the moment. A true masterpiece.
+Rayne Cloudsen AMEN!
@JooseMunkee ikr!!
Music is the bridge that connects heaven.....and earth.
"Dear music....thanks for being there when noone else was."
:)
People, do yourself a favour, read the lyrics of this when you listen. They're fantastically beautiful!
amazing Zack Hemsey, only you and Hanz Zimmer can create powerful music pieces like this. Going far beyond mediocrity reaching that unatural level of perfection.
No you wrong let's Listen Tom Day - who we want to be.. Amazing track..
This is the best song ever created for real.
This was so powerful I broke down listening to this song.
I Mean this song can be that Powerful if their is Someone that you care about that Much but in all Honesty their are to many good people Left without someone to care about that much Unfourtantely .....
God please help those who are alone in this world.
Its my birthday today... But to listening to this music is the best gift ever
happy birth day....3 years later....
Happy birthday my friend ... 4 years later ...
Happy birthday 5 years later ! :D
(Happy birthday) x 5
Wow this song is awesome. I only heard Vengeance at first from Equalizer but then I decided to look at your other work and I have to say it is truly amazing how you made these songs and I am not even done with this album and this is the only one I heard so far.
yup the songs he makes are pure magical music! i hate those nicki minaj, 50 cent shit cause of this guy
The same.. I found this artist because of equalizer.. Since that day I saved this playlist and when I feel sad I'm listening Zack.. You have no idea how many shit went through my head but this artist helped me to deal with that shit..
This song made me bawl. I usually hate rap but this... this has real meaning. You're amazing, don't ever stop.
See this is rap, not that overly repetitive excuse for rap most people listen too. This has emotion, it pulls at you makes you think, it gives a story something people can relate to. It's poetic in its delivery, sad that people think of rap as saying the same six words with a handful of vulgarities to a beat for 3-4 minutes.
i keep saying to my classmates, im not really into rap... then I forgot that I listen to Zack
He's the only rapper I know to be so poetic right now.
Search for J Cole or yelawolf or Logic.
+Filip “Shtergu” Stojanovski Kendrick Lamar?
Nas?
Mr.Creeperguy zach is much more than rap. He's a storyteller as well as a true musician. Having one of those traits is very rare, let alone possessing and perfecting both. Zach is a gift. A gift that we shall cherish for years to come.
Miracles do happen.... rap that not only doesn't sound annoying... but is also extremely well done and even emotionally compelling and sobering. Well done!
This stuff is too powerful to listen to while doing homework
@@keiralenahan1358 that homework is going to be 2 years late lol
6 years late
The more I listen to this, the more I understand the lyrics. Heartbreaking story, thank you for telling us.
iv'e been wating between worlds for 13yrs but i will hold my family again til the heavens light dies out around us
"My spirit will rise from the grave and the world will know I was right"
God dammit, Zack! There's no way I'm gonna be able to fit all these good songs on my mp3!
Still listening to this 9 years later. Thanks Zack for such a masterpiece!
This is such a hard song. “Lord, please end the nightmare...” My heart jumps in my throat on that line... You just feel the emotion behind this.
I heard the instrumental of this first and love it... but man the lyrics just give this song a whole other level of emotion. Absolutely amazing
I can't tell you how I felt when I got a similar call, my father had been shot and I hadn't spoke to him for years. But man did something in my soul hurt, even though I didn't speak to him and even though I don't see him as my father anymore something really hurt that day. He turned out fine, but this song always brings back that day.
Effective art brings people to
a world that some didnt know existed and others know too well
Tears appeared less than an inch down my eyes and didn't lower right when I heard about her son.
Most touching of all his art pieces.
Wow. Just wow. This song is a legend. The song makes me think of a hero in the making. It makes me think of the poor little orphan rising up and being the leader of his nation. This is spectacular!!!
Words escape me. Utterly perfect.
what a beautiful piece of work
If mandkind would have a song it would probably be a song by Zack Hemsey and Hans Zimmer.
well said!
couldn't agree more
***** add 1 more, two steps from hell :)
***** Don't forget John Williams
PMW3 and Jablonsky
***** And Johan Johansson.
My English isn't good enough to understand all the rapping, it's going quite fast, but I still really like it. It kind of fits the song, which is very weird for this genre.
Great job Mr. Hemsey :-)
Kaj lolguy It basically speaks about how one night, the police knock on a woman's door to tell her her son is in the hospital. He got shot in the head. Arriving at the hospital, the doctor tells her there is no chance for a full recovery. They can keep him there, alive thanks to machines, but basically a vegetable, or pull the cord while he's unconscious so his last moments are that "of a dream". It's very beautifully and emotionally put. I got tears in my eyes.

The lyrics.
There are three separate stories, here. IMOP: A girl / young woman who's in some sort of abusive relationship and either pregnant or ill with something. A man that's on his deathbed [with what might be Huntington's going from the "shake in his hand."] And then the woman whose son was shot and given the option of being a vegetable or euthanized.
Then the fourth verse is Zack reassuring you that, as bleak and miserable as the world can get, there's still a light to look forward to if you just keep going..
Mariacristina Romano Reading that while listening to this is just sad! it's like a 2hr story in 1 minute.. very upsetting! But thank you.
AMZING IN ALL THE WAYS I CAN EXPRESS
There are few artists who can command such emotion in one illustration.
Masterful.
That let me speechless actually....im fun of hip hop and rap years now ..i cant remember how many but this is one of the very few songs which change me and help me see me through with the problems ive got ...im not the only one..im sure.
Definitely a from my favourite and touched song's i have ever heard ...
This song brings tears to my eyes. You should love it.
Waiting for the "Zack Hemsey and Hans Zimmer" collab. Please make it happen!!!
Wow this dude is actually a step ahead in the game, and its the first time in my life that I say such thing.
Yeah he's miles ahead
I actually liked rap in a song. Dear god this guys a wizard.
He was a good man
This song gives me hope that there are still artists out there, like Zack Hemsey, who can create good music and write intelligent and thought provoking lyrics. Thumbs up if you agree that mainstream radio is dead!
I love...every bit of this....all I can say is wow. You are fantastic artist. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
A perfect combination of the New and modern, and the old And classic....Long Live Zack Hemsey, Musician To All...
Completely agree with you! That would be so epic.
I felt like I was in a desert searching for water and fighting demons. Epic music.
Absolutely beautiful
This song always makes me put a perspective on life that I learn to realize. The sheer beauty in this piece brings me to tears.
Really underrated. I love it! The lyrics, magnificent.
I used to think I didn't like rap. Zack Hemsey likes to prove me wrong, time and time again.
Zach Hemsey has a unique sound to him that I like, go into classical to hip hop and rock. Pure talent. Keep it up man.
In another tab of my computer another song on UA-cam was about to play. This song was just starting, so I opened the other tab and muted that video, which had an ad for the new Infiniti Q60 playing. This song was playing over the ad for the car, and that made the ad awesome af!
I take it back, those lyrics change it all.
People call Zack a rapper but he is beyond that.
His music is more than rap.
way more.
I don't like Rap much, but this guy has the power to make me love it.
lyricism at its finest... not too many tracks will top this one
Found this song my accident and was stunned. It spoke to me so powerfully that I've added it to my playlist. Just amazing.
I though rap always full with curses and negative things, but this is different. This is epic.
WOW. Just, WOW!
holy crap I teared up
Took me 8 years it seems to find the most beautiful music ever created! ... mind blown with zacks creations
I wish I'd hear more cinematic music mixed into other genres like this. Zack Hemsey's work is just breath taking.
Zack, your music is incredible and awe inspiring.
This takes everything to a whole new level...in fact, a level within a level..
Oh Oh Oh this is amazing!!!!
Best rap i've heard.
I work in the ER. This song is what I observe on a daily basis.
My favorite part is when he started going in near the end and the music got more intense.
The beginning part used erhu with ambient electric atmospheric to mystify it and then there comes some powerful drumming and emotional orchestra paired with some unexpectedly well written rap lyrics.
Beautiful
I don´t like the vocal part in Zack Hemsey´s "The Way", but in this song the rap suits the song perfectly!
Thanks for this masterpiece!
THIS IS RAP. This is what mainstream rap should have evolved into . Zack, I stumbled into your music . Oh maaaaan , where do I begin ? This lyrics. POWERFUL every single word. It is CLEAR that you are awake borther . The True successor to Morinone.
This is one of those songs that gives you goosebumps. So incredible...
Zack's music is too much. I love this song and the other ones!!
Astounding
This is the most powerful song I've ever heard. It gave me chills... wow!
I have not been this emotional over a song since "100 Years" by Five for Fighting. A genuine achievement.
