“She Talks To Angels” by The Black Crowes from the album Shake Your Money Maker released in 1990 - now in HD #TheBlackCrowes #SheTalksToAngels #Remastered
I do opiates a couple times a month, at most. GREAT buzz, but I was fortunate enough to hear that it's very addictive BEFORE using recreationally (in the early-90s), so it's never been a problem. I wish more people knew ahead of time that regular use is a very bad idea. A quick Google search would do the trick.
i am 17 and lost my wonderful mother on sunday, april 24th. this was one of her favorite songs. she was only 40 and her 41st birthday was coming up on may 20th. she was given four months to live or to get everything in control in september 2020 and she made it all of the way to 2022. she was so strong and beautiful. i miss her so much and i am in constant mental and physical pain. i am so lost without her. i am so sorry to anyone who has lost a parent or close family member, my heart aches for you.
Dang, I’m sorry! As hard as it is and I know! She’s still with you, in you, and with in everything you do! You are a reflection of her strength, hope you find some peace in that!
Lost my mother 19 years ago August 28th. Still miss her everyday. I promise it gets easier with time. Hold on to all the good memories, that’s how you keep her spirit alive!!! She would want you to move on and live a productive life and to be happy and enjoy what life has to offer. Godspeed on your difficult journey ahead as you navigate grief that you must endure to heal from her passing. Although you’ll never truly heal. I found my moms journal tonight and looked up this song that she had written down. This was a sign to come listen to the song. I never made the connection to the song until now ❤️ she struggled with alcohol addiction but I loved her deeply, our bond so strong. Its definitely a sign she is still with me in spirits and I will listen to this everyday!!!
Lost my brother to fentanyl 7 weeks ago. This was my favorite song yet I had no idea what it was about until he sang it and played the guitar for me and said sis it’s about addiction. May God and the Angels be with all of us and especially those battling addiction. My heart is forever broken. Please find the strength to save your life for yourself, your family and all that love you!!! You are worth it.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm not sure what made your brother turn to using fentanyl, but a lot of people can't cope with the hardships life throw at them and sometimes dulling their pain is all they can do. I hope you and your family can find peace.
As a mom of a heroin addict sober for 5 years this song is my power song. It reminds me that I am never alone & that every day we have on this earth is a gift. I talked to so many angels begging them to keep my child safe & bring him back to us. Thank you to my angels who listened & brought him back to me. I already have an angel son I couldn't survive having 2. I talk to angels everyday praying for them to keep him strong enough to fight the demon heroin.
I was a heroin addict for over a decade. I lost my son. When I finally got clean my Dad told me this song always broke his heart, it made him think of me. It still makes me cry to hear it. Now I’m coming up on 8 years clean. I have a family and a little farm and it’s everything I ever wanted and never believed would happen. If anyone reading this is struggling, please know that you are worth it. The pain can be managed without your poison and you can find joy and let go of the guilt. Please don’t give up. You are loved.
The most beautiful line I have ever heard in a song… “she keeps a lick of hair in her pocket… she wears a cross around her neck… the hair is from a little boy, and the cross is someone she has not met… not yet!” Powerful line
My old lady didn’t understand why I loved this song until I told her I had 2 ods before I met her and I did this dance for quite a while but I’ve been clean for years now and that monkey is still riding on my shoulder, like I told her im a drug addict for the rest of my life but I gotta be stronger than my addiction and im still standing strong 26 yrs drug free
Struggling with alcoholism right now. I don’t think I can quit at this point. It’s all I look forward to, all day. It feels as though it frees me, liberates the subtle anguishes. But I know it’s killing me. I feel it in my kidneys and liver. I want to quit for my family but everytime I come back. I hope I can one day be as strong as you brother.
My sister passed away in September of last year. This was her favorite song. She struggled with addiction most of her life. We played this loud for her at her funeral. Everytime it plays out of nowhere, I just smile knowing it’s her up there giving me a sign. Thank you so much for this song. My family can find peace through our grief, connecting this beautiful song with her.
My daughter lost her Daughter when she was 8 which was 6 years ago and this is one of her favorite songs. Now I sing it to my daughter because she took her life over it three years ago❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My heart aches for every soul who struggles with addiction. Big, big respect for all of you who have beaten it…even if only for a day or week. Keep fighting. ❤️
I will have 5 years March 27th🥳 it gets easier with time, after about a year the thought of using has been gone! Doesn't even cross my mind to go back to that terrible way of life! Now I'm fat and happy😂 I never thought I'd kick the habit of over a decade but it's possible! If I can do it anyone can💪
I’ve been fighting with addiction since 1995 and I’m still struggling with it at the age of 53 and I really don’t know if I can win this one but these comments offer hope and this tune is proper gold. Peace and love ❤
I understand your reasoning to stop cold turkey. But it's a process and u can overcome it u just have to take one day at a time.. I've lost my 1st cousin due to addiction but we are brothers. Any drug or alcohol addiction is rough for anyone. Just pray for the strength to stop and use all support that u have from any family or friends tht may understand your situation! People places and things will help eleaviate some of the urges. God bless us all who continues to battle any type of addiction!!!
You can do it!! I haven’t yet but I know I can. I know I am loved and everyone can live a better life once we get sober and see the blessings it will bring. I started and next thing I know 20 years have gone by….. I was 15 and experimenting but that 20 years seems like 20 minutes. I want to remember every second of the next 20 and I pray to God 20 after that. It’s hard to put life in perspective sometimes and realize it’s going to be over sooner than we think and it’s the only one we will get. Love to you and never stop dreaming !!
No offense but,maybe you should have heeded the tv ads,billboards,internet ads and used common sense to avoid drugs,there is a reason all of that information is put out there. There is literally no excuse to become a drug addict or alcoholic and people are tired of hearing the sob stories/excuses of weak minded individuals who succumb to addiction. I wonder how many lives you ruined because of your inability to cope with reality? A f-in addict destroys their own family and friends,everyone suffers because of one selfish person. I have no sympathy for anyone who becomes an addict/alcoholic,you did it to yourself.
My mom struggled w addiction. The night I got the phone call that she took her life this song was playing on the radio in the car on the way to grandma's. Everything about this song is my mom. Thank u Black Crowes. This will 4ever b my mom's song.
I battled opioid addiction in my late teens and early 20s. It almost took my life many times over. I vividly remember times of desperation, using in a dark room alone, and this song randomly coming on the radio. It always made me stop and think, "maybe i should try and get some help." I eventually got the help i needed and have been in recovery for almost 14 years from opioid use disorder. I'm now a clinician and substance use disorder counselor working in the field of addiction recovery, nearly finished with my masters degree and onto med school to become a psychiatrist. Every single day i get to live the dream of helping people repair their lives from the same thing that almost took mine and has taken the lives of so many of my loved ones. It's so surreal to have come full circle. To anyone out there wondering if recovery is possible, it absolutely is! I'm living proof, and so are many many others. It won't be easy. In fact, It'll be the single most difficult thing you'll ever do in your life. But i can say that without a doubt it's worth it. If you want to break the maddening cycle of active addiction, please reach out for help. There are people who care, even if you don't know them yet, they're there, i promise. And if you're not ready to stop using yet, please use a free resource to be safe, like neverusealone. You can call and have a person stay on the line with you while you use, and they will call paramedics if you become unresponsive. Overdose deaths are 110% preventable. To all of those in recovery, I'm proud of you. To all of those in active use, I'm proud of you. To those who have lost loved ones to this horrendous disease, my heart aches for you, and im proud of you. And thanks to the Black Croews for making an epic song that may have contributed to saving my life. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your testimony! I've been sober 3 1/2 years, but I also lost my only child to a fentanyl overdose. I feel like I know all sides of addiction & it is one of the most difficult things I've ever dealt with! #SisterinSobriety 💜💜💜
Have you tried to write to the group on their site and relay this amazing story. It would be nice for them to know they had a hand in helping you recover and become this successful professional. You would not have gone to this ending if not for the song coming on the radio randomly as you used but, made you stop and think.
Still hanging in there? It's hard but changes how it's hard as it goes. 13 years down the good road for me. I've looked around but I've never looked back.
Day 1 today.. this song just popped up last night when tossing an turning... my angels came and gave me a message.🙏🏻 love to everyone who is going through a battle addiction or not ❤❤❤
Hang tuff if ya can. I been fighting this 35 yrs, yet got 3 days clean now. My son would be 34 but od passed away on fentanyl 2020. I been off needle 15 yrs, but now it's the benzos deal, it's worse, plus my body is getting too old
IV drugs user at 15, I'm 62 now by His grace. Had 15 years then bam! That relapse kicked me worse than the 1st! Fighting this thing called addiction all my life. Will have 6 years in April! Prayers for the addict still suffering. 🙏
My Dad Shad used to listen to this song all the time! He always said it was beautiful and I never really listened to the lyrics of this song until after my dad unexpectedly passed away July 9, 2022. He overdosed. And now more than ever I feel the lyrics of this song so deeply! Every single thing about this song from the instruments, lyrics, and the heart and soul Chris put into singing this song is absolutely beautiful!
5 months clean, Not as long as allot of you but I’m so proud of myself, I’ve never done anything this hard and it showed me I could do anything, Anyone really wanting to get clean who just needs a little push do it You won’t look back.
I was 17 once and it’s still my favorite I made it to 45 but it was only by the grace of God I lost my mom 2010 I still need my mama but I made it in her honor I love my life to the fullest that’s what being a survive means ❤
The hurt, the fear. She enters detox,rehab tomorrow morning. But the hurt she feels as she packed tonight. She never second guessed anything. As we held each other she apologized. She said that we are worth it. I've been clean for almost 15 years but felt helpless. Never give up on the ones you truly love. When all is done these three things remain faith hope and love. the greatest of these is love.
This is the anthem for everyone we lost to opiates . It always brings me back to the days in the gutter grinding with others like myself on fringe of society.
Please help me. Just one piece of advice. What helped you? I can’t stop but I want to so badly and I see how it’s destroying me and the people I love. I want to get better but I feel stuck in this cycle. Please any advice would be grateful
I’ve cried to this song many times. We’re listening to it now as he packs up. My son has used heroin, Fentanyl since he was 18. He is 35 and enters a 30 day recovery program tomorrow. It’s such a ‘Spiritual Warfare,” My heart breaks for those who lost their battle and those who strive and survive.
I’m so sorry I’m going through this with my daughter I’ve helped her get clean twice the third time I didn’t help it exhaust’s you to see your child like this you know everything I don’t have to tell you she lasted 3 days in rehab after she got clean a week I think and she left this year and started taking heroin so they’ve put her back on methadone she’s 32 now she’s been taking stuff since she was 16 I thought I’d notice I lived with her but they don’t just lay there like I thought it’s the pupils it took me time you know the rest hun and what they do 😢god bless you both I hope he makes it ❤🙏
PRAYERS SENT, I LOST MY GOOD FRIEND AT 30 YEARS OLD HE NVR DID HEROIN BUT FOUND OUT IT WAS LACED WITH FENTYNOL ,DIED TO YOUNG HES IN GODS ARMS NOW HE WAS SO SWEET ... PRAYERS BE STRONG 💪 TELL HIM PLEASE AND YOU TOO ...
20 years clean and it’s amazing how certain songs that I listened to while wasted have such meaning now I’m clean, this is one of them. Great song in general but when you truly listen it can talk to you.
I was right-now-years-old when I first realized that this song is about addiction. I guess the “pain gonna make everything alright” line makes more sense now.
🤟well I'm sure many won't agree, but they did what they knew, and for some that's the only way. I pray that they found some of what they were seeking. Which was most likely peace, love, respect and happiness. May they RIP and have found all they needed now.
@Oh No Bro Me too! I've been listening to this song since it came out. I felt connected to it from the first time I heard it. But I never knew it was about addiction. The lyrics are a bit, what's the word I'm looking for, it's not a straight forward lyrics. It's more like thoughts and poem like. If that makes sense. I thought it was about a girl like me who felt different and had a lively fantasy.
@Cheryl A. Nicholas YES! ATLANTA is one of my absolute favourite songs ever! Yet, that one isn't about addiction. I always interpreted it to be about that. I was wrong. Scott wrote that song about his first wife. It's beautiful no matter what it's about. And I think it's up to people to make their own interpretation of songs. What feelings they get when they listen to a song should be absolutely fine. I don't believe artists write songs to mean just one thing to everyone who listen to their music.
God is good. I've never had any addictions really (not to drugs or alcohol anyway) but I still love this song and it truly resonates with recoverers. God is good. Always remember.
I havent been 60 for to long, or clean and perfect either. But i just need christian and sober friends just willing to help just a little. Evdn if its just your prayers id really apreciate any of it for real. Thanks charlie
These guys are awesome! I saw them back in 2005 with Tom Petty down around the Pittsburgh area. Who else is listening to the Black Crowes during the Corona Virus Pandemic?
Neil Mihelich I am! Think they are awesome as well. Saw them when they were just up and coming, not very known yet. Went to see HEART in concert and they were the warm up band. Chris R. reminded me so much of Mick Jagger at that time.
I saw them twice in the early 90's in Detroit while I was on leave. I saw them play in a bar and meet everyone of them. I stood behind Chris, waiting his turn like everyone else to buy a beer. The Black Crows were still new at the time. The next night, they opened for ZZ Top at the Joe Louis Arena. I had 10th row center stage. Great weekend and great memory of my youth!
My Lil sister once told that this song makes her think of me.. I have always known that My Angels are with me. Protect, guide and just make life a bit sweeter at times. My favorite line is. "She smiles when the Pain comes cause Pains gonna make everything alright." ❤ It's true. 4:05
In 2018 I had met a girl who identified with this song. She was a former addict who, from what I could tell, had a very difficult life...I didn't know many details about her past except to know it was unbelievably hard for her. This was one of her favorite songs. At the time I did not understand even though she would tell me that songs tell a story. My background was the complete opposite of hers. I did not understand at the time...how much she hurt inside or the depth of her pain. While I knew that she had a terrible past I was ill prepared and was unable to give her the support she needed. She had a definitely had deep belief in Jesus and talked to the angels. I believe that deep down she was a kind soul and didn't deserve the life she was given. We lived together for a period of time. In many ways it was the best time of my life and in other ways it was messed up...again I was ill prepared to deal with the latter. When times were good they were the best...we had many 'BEST DAYS EVER'. Unfortunately we had a falling out over something that didn't matter and she took off the same day. I didn't see her for awhile and one day I Googled her and found her obituary...she had passed at 42. I checked with some people she knew and they revealed that she had been murdered but would not say more. There are no police reports or anything. Six years later and I still think about her and miss her every single day...if only I had been better prepared. Maybe she will see this from the other side and know how sorry I am and how much I miss her. I cannot wait to see her on the other side.
Today marks one year for me sober from opiates 🎉 !! 365 days down 365 more to go! Til next year! Be safe and whoever is suffering through addictions! Take accountability, accept it and im praying you make it out and see how beautiful it is over here!! 🫂😘
She never mentions the word "addiction" In certain company Yeah, she'll tell you she's an orphan After you meet her family She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket She wears a cross around her neck Yeah, the hair was from a little boy And the cross from someone she had not met No, not yet Says she talks to the angels Says they call her out by her name Well, she talks to angels Says they call her out by her name She don't know no lover None that I've ever seen Yeah, to her that ain't nothin' But to me, it means Means everything She paints her eyes as black as night now You know, she pulls those shades down tight Oh yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes The pain's gonna make everything all right All right, yeah yeah she talks to the angels Says they call her out by her name Oh yeah, yeah angels call her out by her name Oh, oh, oh angel they call her out by her name Oh oh she talks to angels They call her out yeah, yeah call her out Don't you know that They call her out by her name?
13 days in coma and around 15 broken bones will always remind yourself that you too have talked to Angels, God and Jesus. Thank you you for saving my life God and Jesus.
Glory be to God. Thank you Jesus for your love and grace and for sparing the life of this friend I have not met yet. In times like what our world is in, may your children continue to shine. 🙏⛪
Beautiful and heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!. How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
No drugs.. my take from this is a mom lost her young child , kept a lock of his hair in her pocket and just hadn't met the cross maker yet...DEEP. .. depression can mess you up. No drugs...just sadness.
I was 15 when I first heard this song. Now I’m 26, in recovery from addiction, & this song hits so much deeper now. To anyone struggling, you’re not alone❤
My mother lost her addiction to pills just a few years ago, I play this song when I seem to be missing her more than usual. My nostalgia has created a non existent country where I've allowed her to stay. There is never a day I do not think about you mom, I love you more than I did yesterday and I'll love you even more tomorrow. To anyone who has lost a parent, I love you and even though I may not "know" you, I am thinking of you most earnestly.
Beautiful and heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!. How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
That song makes me think of my oldest sister, whom I haven't talked to in nearly 8 years . Unfortunately, she has been on the low road with drug addiction for many years and has sadly burned all her bridges . Kelly, if you're seeing this, I love you and still pray for your safety out on the streets or wherever you're at .
Dude that a freaking soul crushing comment. I'm balling tears. Bless You. Don't give up hope. I'm sure she had too much love in her to deal with. Sorry. Peace
I never understood why this song was so special and now I am healing my kids don’t talk to me .. and I understand I am getting better now and my daughter is pregnant with a boy and I don’t know if I’ll ever meet him I have turned to god after 30 years of wondering lost .. I pray I get to meet that little boy I am hoping I’ll have some wisdom to offer when they come back I am grateful for this healing time it hurts but not as bad as being in the darkness
I wish my brother could have lived to see this year`s reunion. In 2018 we saw As The Crow Flies at The Ryman in Nashville, the end of April and then we saw The Magpie Salute in Huber Heights Ohio on Aug. 21st. Several Days Later he was talking with Angels after a tragic Motorcycle accident. We never even got to compare notes on the two shows, and which we liked better etc. I`ll be seeing them with my son this year on my 64th Birthday and remembering my Brother Karl who was a Huge Crowes Fan. ! R.I.P. Li`l Bro........See You On The Other Side.........Someday.
@@evanabbott2737 Thanks Evan. This Friday(13th) he would have been 59 years old. So this week I`m listening to Live shows we saw together, over the years, that I have CD copies of.......Both from soundboards and audience tapers. Live, Love, and Listen To Great Music, Rick
Jon my husband for 30 yrs since my age of 18. I’ll Always love you…. You were hit by that car a year ago in front of home…I’m gona be ok It’s been a tuff rd for me living life without you… I finally changed my 1st flat tire by myself, I thank u Jon for our life we had together and the 3 sons we made…. Jon our gbabies are so beautiful And We are being sure they remember who Papaw Jon is…. Tears of Sadness Yes still Happens!! But you are looking down on Us I know… To look at our Sons Our Circle of Life me & you created I find myself crying tears of JOY…. Jon H from Western Ky❤❤❤ My Love forever…. Without U I WOULDNT HAVE THEM…..WE DID SOMETHING RIGHT JONBOY I LOVE YOU YOUR STACY(Stace)
Blessed to be alive. Survivors guilt for the ones Ive lost that cant be here that should be. Free yourself from the con of poverty. Drugs in any fashion are not freedom, they give you bliss to trap you in a prison that can only blame you at the end of it. Freedom comes from the gift of desperation and connection is the opposite of addiction. I believe in you.
If you would have stayed away from drugs you wouldn’t have to worry about recovery,would you? I am not fooled by these drug addicts and their bs while whining for sympathy. How many people did you steal from,how many ex friends and family members hate you? The ads,commercials,billboards and internet is full of anti drug messages. I guess they didn’t pertain to you?
This song played every day on the radio when I was in jail. I would look out the window and imagine my life without drugs and cry. 6 1/2 years sober now, thank god
Last time I saw my brother, this song came on the Playlist in the car. We both started singing after he told my nephew I had a beautiful singing voice. That moved me enough, but he started singing along with me and I couldn't stop the tears pricking the corners of my eyes. My brother and I are very different, but we share a very intense bond and love each other like crazy. He and I lived through a lot of shitty things together and hearing this song from now on will make me remember how I love my brother, my first friend
@@abubaseet My opinion is based on how much recognition and mainstream success the bands got. Shake Your Money MAker sold 5 million copies according to Wikipedia, and all in all they sold almost 10 million albums in the 90s along with millions more singles. I fail to see hw that = "underrated!"
Yesterday I was at a baby shower for a friend, it was a happy normal party. On my drive home, I felt the tug of this song . . . "she never mentions the word addiction in certain company". Both of my sons struggle with addiction. My son's best friend, who I loved deeply, died at 23 from an overdose. This disease is affects the whole family. Seeing comments from recovering addicts is so beautiful.
16yrs as of 21 June. Took my friend being KIA and me overdosing but I came out on top. Without him I wouldn't be here. This has been my fave song since I was a little girl and didn't understand what addiction meant. Those were the innocent days 💜💜WE DO RECOVER💜💜
Thanks God for All Gifts & Good music to our HappiestHome Heaven Forgiven,Helped & Healed in All forms in our Loving Lord Jesus Christ.Amen. WeLoveU All in Light so Shine on
I'm sending love and positive vibes to everyone who is struggling or has struggled or knows someone thats struggling with addiction!!! I'm dealing with watching friends and family try to overcome the demons that have became their life and coping with the lose of so many of them !! Addiction doesn't just affect the person doing it changes the lives of many !! Bless you all 💕 Stay strong 💕
I'm in highschool and I found this song and it reminds me of my mom, sadly she's still struggling with her addiction everytime I hear this I either cry or smile but it's oddly comforting
Play this song for her. Put the video on your computer and leave it on the table by where she is. Ask her to watch the video and listen to the music. Ir may reach her just as it has so many others.
I dedicate this song, with all my heart- to Jessica Leeanne Armour. Even though you are in denial, the people around you ,see it. May you find peace, and get strong and find the real you once again . Though you have hurt many, I still believe in you. Stay strong, and I pray you find the real inner you .I still Love you, Jessie, and always will stand up for you even if you never want to see or talk to me . You're always in my Heart. Just...Tom ❤
She never mentions the word "addiction" In certain company Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan After you meet her family She paints her eyes as black as night now Pulls those shades down tight Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come The pain gonna make everything alright Says she talks to angels They call her out by her name Oh, yeah, she talks to angels Says they call her out by her name She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket She wears a cross around her neck Yes, the hair is from a little boy And the cross is someone she has not met Not yet Says she talks to angels Says they all know her name Oh, yeah, she talks to angels Says they call her out by her name She don't know no lover None that I ever seen Yeah, to her that ain't nothin' But to me, yeah, me Means everything She paints her eyes as black as night now She pulls those shades down tight Oh, yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes The pain gonna make everything alright Alright, yeah, heah She talks to angels Says they call her out by her name Oh, yeah, heah, angels Call her out by her name Oh, ooh, oh, oh, angels They call her out by her name Oh, oh, oh, she talks to angels They call her out Yeah, ee, eah, eah, eah, eah Call her out Don't you know that they Call her out by her name?
I Can't stop, I trapped... drunk is what I told my best friends last year... they don't care I guess... they don't call me the way I call them.... so tired
My papaw just passed away on Tuesday Sept 8th, 2020. & he loved this song and personally picked it out and wanted it played at his funeral. We did everything he wanted for his funeral and now i love this song and think of him and all the memories we made while this plays. He will be greatly missed but never ever will be forgotten. I love you papaw Sambo, and i hope you are having a wonderful time in heaven my guardian angel💔❤🙏😇
@@joanndare2780 if u never did drugs ,you cant really relate ,,no offense,,I admire you 4 that wish ,no ,,I dont wish I never had ,, had some good times ,, dont judge til u walk n someone else's shoes and u cant know unless u ever did a drug what this song really really means ,, it's about the pain ,,and the release from demons in your head u cant ,,let go ,,and the demons where not the drugs the drugs where the smile when the pain came ,, but it took my angel from me ,, would I change anythinh,, just one ,, I'd hold her close n never let her leave
@Beverly Ivie, my best friend of 35 years lost her daughter to overdose and it was too sad. I was there for her daughter before and with her during. I still love the song. 🙏
Man just reading through the comments I can't help but appreciate how so many "damaged" or less than perfect people have the biggest hearts and are some of the strongest and most genuine people you could ever hope to know. I don't know any of you and there's many different reasons why we love this song. But I have to say I can't help but feel a connection with what so many of you have shared. You're not alone, God bless you all.
Bless you back. Personally, i feel many others use the terminology damaged or broken when to indicate that they want to keep distance. If they didnt see people as damaged, maybe they'd be more willing to pick people up.
@@kristophermichaud4467 I was including myself within the context of that, so I didn't mean to seem like I was judging anyone or trying to be insulting. But I do completely agree with your statement. Very deep and honest thought.
@@stanparker9556 Its all good, dude. No offense taken where none was given. Frankly, comments like these are the only reason why i look at the comments section. G'night, Cap'n, sweet dreams.
I heard this song shortly after losing my best friend on my birthday from a fentanyl overdose. I had talked to him literally in his last minutes before his passing. Chills me to the core 💔🕊
Stay away from that crap. Fentanyl will ONLY bring death. From what I hear they are lacing other drugs with it too. Stay away from it and anyone who uses/deals it. Death is guaranteed with fentanyl
There have been times where I doubt myself on knowing how to play the guitar, but when I listen to this it gets my spirits back into it, thank god songs like this exist
No matter how you feel or what you think, please don't ever stop. Your loving this song tells that you got a lot of soul and a sharp ear for great music. Based on that, I know you're a great guitarist 🎸 👌🏿 🏆 Please keep on playing for my sake. I will feel it in the wind. ❤🙌🏿
Wow the last time I heard this song I was just a lil kid & now I'm 40yrs old with almost a month clean from opiates! Praise be to God Almighty!!
Tom Petty
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I do opiates a couple times a month, at most. GREAT buzz, but I was fortunate enough to hear that it's very addictive BEFORE using recreationally (in the early-90s), so it's never been a problem.

i am 17 and lost my wonderful mother on sunday, april 24th. this was one of her favorite songs. she was only 40 and her 41st birthday was coming up on may 20th. she was given four months to live or to get everything in control in september 2020 and she made it all of the way to 2022. she was so strong and beautiful. i miss her so much and i am in constant mental and physical pain. i am so lost without her. i am so sorry to anyone who has lost a parent or close family member, my heart aches for you.
Dang, I’m sorry! As hard as it is and I know! She’s still with you, in you, and with in everything you do! You are a reflection of her strength, hope you find some peace in that!
Lost my mother 19 years ago August 28th. Still miss her everyday. I promise it gets easier with time. Hold on to all the good memories, that’s how you keep her spirit alive!!! She would want you to move on and live a productive life and to be happy and enjoy what life has to offer. Godspeed on your difficult journey ahead as you navigate grief that you must endure to heal from her passing. Although you’ll never truly heal. I found my moms journal tonight and looked up this song that she had written down. This was a sign to come listen to the song. I never made the connection to the song until now ❤️ she struggled with alcohol addiction but I loved her deeply, our bond so strong. Its definitely a sign she is still with me in spirits and I will listen to this everyday!!!
I lost my mother January 4th, 2021. Not a damn day goes by that I don't think about her. You are not in this alone.
I'm so sorry for your loss of your beautiful mom. May she rest in peace.
May God bless you, draw near to you and fill you with His peace that passes all understanding!!
Lost my brother to fentanyl 7 weeks ago. This was my favorite song yet I had no idea what it was about until he sang it and played the guitar for me and said sis it’s about addiction. May God and the Angels be with all of us and especially those battling addiction. My heart is forever broken. Please find the strength to save your life for yourself, your family and all that love you!!! You are worth it.
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm not sure what made your brother turn to using fentanyl, but a lot of people can't cope with the hardships life throw at them and sometimes dulling their pain is all they can do. I hope you and your family can find peace.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I'm so very sorry for your loss 🙏
I was about to put my nine to head this morning
Your brother will always be with you, remember Ghost Nation is not far 💔
As a mom of a heroin addict sober for 5 years this song is my power song. It reminds me that I am never alone & that every day we have on this earth is a gift. I talked to so many angels begging them to keep my child safe & bring him back to us. Thank you to my angels who listened & brought him back to me. I already have an angel son I couldn't survive having 2. I talk to angels everyday praying for them to keep him strong enough to fight the demon heroin.
God Bless you; you have power
I was a heroin addict for over a decade. I lost my son. When I finally got clean my Dad told me this song always broke his heart, it made him think of me. It still makes me cry to hear it.
Now I’m coming up on 8 years clean. I have a family and a little farm and it’s everything I ever wanted and never believed would happen.
If anyone reading this is struggling, please know that you are worth it. The pain can be managed without your poison and you can find joy and let go of the guilt. Please don’t give up. You are loved.
Congrats on 8 years! Very proud of your recovery!
Hard to let go when it's killing so many,but thank God you are clean
I'm glad to hear that you been clean keep it going I'll pray 🙏 for you I really loved this girl she broke my heart but I still pray for her everyday
so good to hear you made a comeback...... best wishes..... stay happy..... stay loved/loving......
You are an angel
The most beautiful line I have ever heard in a song… “she keeps a lick of hair in her pocket… she wears a cross around her neck… the hair is from a little boy, and the cross is someone she has not met… not yet!” Powerful line
No story about a deceased friend or family member, just here for a really good tune
My old lady didn’t understand why I loved this song until I told her I had 2 ods before I met her and I did this dance for quite a while but I’ve been clean for years now and that monkey is still riding on my shoulder, like I told her im a drug addict for the rest of my life but I gotta be stronger than my addiction and im still standing strong 26 yrs drug free
Keep it up. I've been clean for 6 years and I know that the I am tempted every day. I will always be an addict but now I control everything.
You got this brother!! I’m a drug addict been clean for years but will always be there. I’m so proud of you
It's rough I've been battling it for 30 some years now keep on keeping on❤
This comment gave me goosebumps. Congrats bro. I've also od'd twice and wasn't supposed to make it. We can do this brother. 🖤
Struggling with alcoholism right now. I don’t think I can quit at this point. It’s all I look forward to, all day. It feels as though it frees me, liberates the subtle anguishes. But I know it’s killing me. I feel it in my kidneys and liver. I want to quit for my family but everytime I come back. I hope I can one day be as strong as you brother.
My sister passed away in September of last year. This was her favorite song. She struggled with addiction most of her life. We played this loud for her at her funeral. Everytime it plays out of nowhere, I just smile knowing it’s her up there giving me a sign. Thank you so much for this song. My family can find peace through our grief, connecting this beautiful song with her.
This is a beautiful tribute. I'm very sorry for your loss.
🕊🕊
My sincerest condolences, Shana.
My favorite also! I've been 8 year's clean after a long addiction! So glad you can smile when you hear this song and think of her!
Love to you and your family 💞
Lets see how many people listening to this beautiful masterpiece!
My daughter lost her Daughter when she was 8 which was 6 years ago and this is one of her favorite songs. Now I sing it to my daughter because she took her life over it three years ago❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry for your loss.
RIP mommy♡ this was and always will be your song. Melissa May 1972-2015
this is hands down one of the best rock ballads ever written
Facts!
I couldn't say it better🔥

So true! It's my favourite. X

We learn how to live!

Amazing You are!!!
Some days it's minute to minute
You are right ✅️ 😌
Every day is new☝️accept you aren’t perfect ❣️ never give up🥰
12 years here as well

22 years and counting of talking and walking with Angels! Thank you God! ❤️
My heart aches for every soul who struggles with addiction. Big, big respect for all of you who have beaten it…even if only for a day or week. Keep fighting. ❤️
My sons both of them struggle
And... for those who lost their battle. Rest well 💜 Nettie Bear.
this song I have no words for bc if all the py that struggle with addiction. love you brothers
I will have 5 years March 27th🥳 it gets easier with time, after about a year the thought of using has been gone! Doesn't even cross my mind to go back to that terrible way of life! Now I'm fat and happy😂 I never thought I'd kick the habit of over a decade but it's possible! If I can do it anyone can💪
@@desm2115 stay happy, don't get fat.
My son-in-law passed away June of 2023. 😢
He’s finally free. Love you Dodie
I’ve been fighting with addiction since 1995 and I’m still struggling with it at the age of 53 and I really don’t know if I can win this one but these comments offer hope and this tune is proper gold. Peace and love ❤
Breathe in breathe out. It's a journey. One day at a time. You can deal with tomorrow when it gets here. Please do not give up. You got this ❤❤❤
I'm with you sadly,I m afraid to stop .
I understand your reasoning to stop cold turkey. But it's a process and u can overcome it u just have to take one day at a time.. I've lost my 1st cousin due to addiction but we are brothers. Any drug or alcohol addiction is rough for anyone. Just pray for the strength to stop and use all support that u have from any family or friends tht may understand your situation! People places and things will help eleaviate some of the urges. God bless us all who continues to battle any type of addiction!!!
You can do it!! I haven’t yet but I know I can. I know I am loved and everyone can live a better life once we get sober and see the blessings it will bring. I started and next thing I know 20 years have gone by….. I was 15 and experimenting but that 20 years seems like 20 minutes. I want to remember every second of the next 20 and I pray to God 20 after that. It’s hard to put life in perspective sometimes and realize it’s going to be over sooner than we think and it’s the only one we will get. Love to you and never stop dreaming !!
No offense but,maybe you should have heeded the tv ads,billboards,internet ads and used common sense to avoid drugs,there is a reason all of that information is put out there. There is literally no excuse to become a drug addict or alcoholic and people are tired of hearing the sob stories/excuses of weak minded individuals who succumb to addiction. I wonder how many lives you ruined because of your inability to cope with reality? A f-in addict destroys their own family and friends,everyone suffers because of one selfish person. I have no sympathy for anyone who becomes an addict/alcoholic,you did it to yourself.
My mom struggled w addiction. The night I got the phone call that she took her life this song was playing on the radio in the car on the way to grandma's. Everything about this song is my mom. Thank u Black Crowes. This will 4ever b my mom's song.
I’m sorry for your loss Beth

@Princess of Genovia Thank u. That's very kind of u.
I battled opioid addiction in my late teens and early 20s. It almost took my life many times over. I vividly remember times of desperation, using in a dark room alone, and this song randomly coming on the radio. It always made me stop and think, "maybe i should try and get some help." I eventually got the help i needed and have been in recovery for almost 14 years from opioid use disorder. I'm now a clinician and substance use disorder counselor working in the field of addiction recovery, nearly finished with my masters degree and onto med school to become a psychiatrist. Every single day i get to live the dream of helping people repair their lives from the same thing that almost took mine and has taken the lives of so many of my loved ones. It's so surreal to have come full circle. To anyone out there wondering if recovery is possible, it absolutely is! I'm living proof, and so are many many others. It won't be easy. In fact, It'll be the single most difficult thing you'll ever do in your life. But i can say that without a doubt it's worth it. If you want to break the maddening cycle of active addiction, please reach out for help. There are people who care, even if you don't know them yet, they're there, i promise. And if you're not ready to stop using yet, please use a free resource to be safe, like neverusealone. You can call and have a person stay on the line with you while you use, and they will call paramedics if you become unresponsive. Overdose deaths are 110% preventable. To all of those in recovery, I'm proud of you. To all of those in active use, I'm proud of you. To those who have lost loved ones to this horrendous disease, my heart aches for you, and im proud of you. And thanks to the Black Croews for making an epic song that may have contributed to saving my life. ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for your testimony! I've been sober 3 1/2 years, but I also lost my only child to a fentanyl overdose. I feel like I know all sides of addiction & it is one of the most difficult things I've ever dealt with! #SisterinSobriety 💜💜💜
Thank you for this comment.
That’s amazing!!!!!! 🎉 I been clean 13 years!!!!!!! ❤️
Have you tried to write to the group on their site and relay this amazing story. It would be nice for them to know they had a hand in helping you recover and become this successful professional. You would not have gone to this ending if not for the song coming on the radio randomly as you used but, made you stop and think.
1 week of sobriety down ... Many more to come God willing of course ❤️🤞
🙏
Still hanging in there? It's hard but changes how it's hard as it goes.
13 years down the good road for me. I've looked around but I've never looked back.
@@preacherpdx5519 many relapses later

Day 1 today.. this song just popped up last night when tossing an turning... my angels came and gave me a message.🙏🏻 love to everyone who is going through a battle addiction or not ❤❤❤
You got this ❤
🙏🙏🙏
Hang tuff if ya can. I been fighting this 35 yrs, yet got 3 days clean now. My son would be 34 but od passed away on fentanyl 2020. I been off needle 15 yrs, but now it's the benzos deal, it's worse, plus my body is getting too old
There will be relapses and falls but keep going!
IV drugs user at 15, I'm 62 now by His grace.
Had 15 years then bam! That relapse kicked me worse than the 1st! Fighting this thing called addiction all my life. Will have 6 years in April! Prayers for the addict still suffering. 🙏
My Dad Shad used to listen to this song all the time! He always said it was beautiful and I never really listened to the lyrics of this song until after my dad unexpectedly passed away July 9, 2022. He overdosed. And now more than ever I feel the lyrics of this song so deeply! Every single thing about this song from the instruments, lyrics, and the heart and soul Chris put into singing this song is absolutely beautiful!
5 months clean, Not as long as allot of you but I’m so proud of myself, I’ve never done anything this hard and it showed me I could do anything, Anyone really wanting to get clean who just needs a little push do it You won’t look back.
I just learned this song, I play the guitar, I am 73 and was sober 38 years now I am addicted again because of old age pain, Please pray for me.
Heavenly Father please draw near to my friend. Be close for him. Amen.
brother if you have legit pain its not addiction it dependent with a good reason
hey. wake up without it. those 38 years were for somethin right??

Damn right d
Three years clean and serene, love this song
Keep it up
Cheers to that man!

Congratulations to you!!! I'm so grateful you shared your story!!
That's incredible 👏 😍 🙌
Praise you
My brother passed on September 27 2022 this is the last song we jammed to in the hospital shaking his little leg to the music I love you bubba
So she talks to Angels 😇
I was 17 once and it’s still my favorite I made it to 45 but it was only by the grace of God I lost my mom 2010 I still need my mama but I made it in her honor I love my life to the fullest that’s what being a survive means ❤
I love singing this song still in 2024. ❤
The hurt, the fear. She enters detox,rehab tomorrow morning. But the hurt she feels as she packed tonight. She never second guessed anything. As we held each other she apologized. She said that we are worth it. I've been clean for almost 15 years but felt helpless. Never give up on the ones you truly love.
When all is done these three things remain faith hope and love. the greatest of these is love.
Shit, that was beautiful
very true and thank you
This is the anthem for everyone we lost to opiates . It always brings me back to the days in the gutter grinding with others like myself on fringe of society.
One of the most powerful opening lines in all of rock
Amazing lyrics!
I’ve been clean and sober 15 years. This song resonates me . Blessed to be alive
Lovin'You ❤
God bless. One day at a time.
The blood of Jesus Christ makes you invisible to the enemy amen!!
You didn't learn to do business with the devil
Please help me. Just one piece of advice. What helped you? I can’t stop but I want to so badly and I see how it’s destroying me and the people I love. I want to get better but I feel stuck in this cycle. Please any advice would be grateful
I'm 36 years old and have never been addicted to anything and I still like this song.
Addicted and want to give up for my youngest son ....
@@Deb-vu1lb I will pray for you. You can do it 💪
Rock on !!
As tears fall from my face.
You made me laugh.

We listen to this song because of addiction. If you're not addicted to a substance you are addicted to this song.
I’ve cried to this song many times. We’re listening to it now as he packs up. My son has used heroin, Fentanyl since he was 18. He is 35 and enters a 30 day recovery program tomorrow. It’s such a ‘Spiritual Warfare,” My heart breaks for those who lost their battle and those who strive and survive.
I’m so sorry I’m going through this with my daughter I’ve helped her get clean twice the third time I didn’t help it exhaust’s you to see your child like this you know everything I don’t have to tell you she lasted 3 days in rehab after she got clean a week I think and she left this year and started taking heroin so they’ve put her back on methadone she’s 32 now she’s been taking stuff since she was 16 I thought I’d notice I lived with her but they don’t just lay there like I thought it’s the pupils it took me time you know the rest hun and what they do 😢god bless you both I hope he makes it ❤🙏
I hope everything goes well, I'm pulling for him....fight like hell my man!!!
@@jeandavies1788I wish y'all the best, I hope she can get out of it, you guys stay strong
PRAYERS SENT, I LOST MY GOOD FRIEND AT 30 YEARS OLD HE NVR DID HEROIN BUT FOUND OUT IT WAS LACED WITH FENTYNOL ,DIED TO YOUNG HES IN GODS ARMS NOW HE WAS SO SWEET ... PRAYERS BE STRONG 💪 TELL HIM PLEASE AND YOU TOO ...
Sending lots of prayers for him. I lost my 26 year old son 7 months ago to fentanyl poisoning. It still feels like yesterday 😭
20 years clean and it’s amazing how certain songs that I listened to while wasted have such meaning now I’m clean, this is one of them. Great song in general but when you truly listen it can talk to you.
A moving tribute to all who have struggled, and sometimes didn't make it back, from addiction.
Hang in there 😅 Have you heard ATLANTA by Stone Temple Pilots? It’s just beautiful 🤩
I was right-now-years-old when I first realized that this song is about addiction. I guess the “pain gonna make everything alright” line makes more sense now.
🤟well I'm sure many won't agree, but they did what they knew, and for some that's the only way. I pray that they found some of what they were seeking. Which was most likely peace, love, respect and happiness. May they RIP and have found all they needed now.
@Oh No Bro
Me too!
I've been listening to this song since it came out.
I felt connected to it from the first time I heard it. But I never knew it was about addiction.
The lyrics are a bit, what's the word I'm looking for, it's not a straight forward lyrics. It's more like thoughts and poem like. If that makes sense.
I thought it was about a girl like me who felt different and had a lively fantasy.
@Cheryl A. Nicholas
YES!
ATLANTA is one of my absolute favourite songs ever!
Yet, that one isn't about addiction.
I always interpreted it to be about that. I was wrong.
Scott wrote that song about his first wife.
It's beautiful no matter what it's about.
And I think it's up to people to make their own interpretation of songs. What feelings they get when they listen to a song should be absolutely fine. I don't believe artists write songs to mean just one thing to everyone who listen to their music.
Thank God I'm clean and sober now! Praise the lord I got out alive.. 22 days strong
U got this keep it up
God is good.
I've never had any addictions really (not to drugs or alcohol anyway) but I still love this song and it truly resonates with recoverers. God is good. Always remember.
I thank JESUS CHRIST BLOOD that Jesus Christ was the only one who could keep me clean and sober 20years
I'm 61 now! I remember that! ❤
@ChrisRobinsonMusic It's a pleasure for me too! I'm very happy to hear from you and I know "She Talks To Angels" Rock On!
44 yrs straight. Love this.
24 months clean of everything under the sun today. This song is such a inspiration to my recovery and others! 💜💜💜💜💜
amen keep it up you got this...!!!

So happy for u belive me I been there it's a disease keep going forward
No addiction, just mourning the loss of my friend. 10 years ago. Love you man. Hate this life without you. 💔
I havent been 60 for to long, or clean and perfect either. But i just need christian and sober friends just willing to help just a little. Evdn if its just your prayers id really apreciate any of it for real. Thanks charlie
Best of luck man love and light
"She only smiles when the pain comes " that line makes me cry every time bc i know exactly what it means

Don't know about you but it's in my head forever!
These guys are awesome! I saw them back in 2005 with Tom Petty down around the Pittsburgh area. Who else is listening to the Black Crowes during the Corona Virus Pandemic?
Neil Mihelich I am! Think they are awesome as well. Saw them when they were just up and coming, not very known yet. Went to see HEART in concert and they were the warm up band. Chris R. reminded me so much of Mick Jagger at that time.
I saw them twice in the early 90's in Detroit while I was on leave. I saw them play in a bar and meet everyone of them. I stood behind Chris, waiting his turn like everyone else to buy a beer. The Black Crows were still new at the time. The next night, they opened for ZZ Top at the Joe Louis Arena. I had 10th row center stage. Great weekend and great memory of my youth!
GREAT SONG
Hey Neil! Here with all you guys, listening TBC during the CVD19 pandemic. From Valencia, #Venezuela

Real music!
I am 64 years young and absolutely Love this song. It Speaks to my Soul. It did the First time I heard it & it Still Does. Nuff Said.
As it did me!
21 years young just discovered this masterpiece
I'm 14 and I love old rock but this song is just so good love it
I completely agree
Yup
My Lil sister once told that this song makes her think of me.. I have always known that My Angels are with me. Protect, guide and just make life a bit sweeter at times.
My favorite line is. "She smiles when the Pain comes cause Pains gonna make everything alright." ❤ It's true. 4:05
In 2018 I had met a girl who identified with this song. She was a former addict who, from what I could tell, had a very difficult life...I didn't know many details about her past except to know it was unbelievably hard for her. This was one of her favorite songs. At the time I did not understand even though she would tell me that songs tell a story. My background was the complete opposite of hers. I did not understand at the time...how much she hurt inside or the depth of her pain. While I knew that she had a terrible past I was ill prepared and was unable to give her the support she needed. She had a definitely had deep belief in Jesus and talked to the angels. I believe that deep down she was a kind soul and didn't deserve the life she was given. We lived together for a period of time. In many ways it was the best time of my life and in other ways it was messed up...again I was ill prepared to deal with the latter. When times were good they were the best...we had many 'BEST DAYS EVER'. Unfortunately we had a falling out over something that didn't matter and she took off the same day. I didn't see her for awhile and one day I Googled her and found her obituary...she had passed at 42. I checked with some people she knew and they revealed that she had been murdered but would not say more. There are no police reports or anything. Six years later and I still think about her and miss her every single day...if only I had been better prepared. Maybe she will see this from the other side and know how sorry I am and how much I miss her. I cannot wait to see her on the other side.
This is so heartbreaking, and crying for the pain you both have and had.
She will see this on the otherside...for sure...✨🌹✨
I sure do see it
I'm 59 going on 60 and I will always love music it heals the soul,from what ever you've gone through life. This is music of there pain.
Today marks one year for me sober from opiates 🎉 !! 365 days down 365 more to go! Til next year! Be safe and whoever is suffering through addictions! Take accountability, accept it and im praying you make it out and see how beautiful it is over here!! 🫂😘
She never mentions the word "addiction"
In certain company
Yeah, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yeah, the hair was from a little boy
And the cross from someone she had not met
No, not yet
Says she talks to the angels
Says they call her out by her name
Well, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
She don't know no lover
None that I've ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain't nothin'
But to me, it means
Means everything
She paints her eyes as black as night now
You know, she pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes
The pain's gonna make everything all right
All right, yeah yeah
she talks to the angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh yeah, yeah angels
call her out by her name
Oh, oh, oh angel
they call her out by her name
Oh oh she talks to angels
They call her out
yeah, yeah call her out
Don't you know that
They call her out by her name?
This is honey to my ears!! I will continue listening to it until my heart stops beating!!🎼🎶🎵
I love this song it’s March 22, 2024.
13 days in coma and around 15 broken bones will always remind yourself that you too have talked to Angels, God and Jesus. Thank you you for saving my life God and Jesus.
Praise His holy name!
Once a human being goes through what I have they never forget to say Thank You God and Jesus and their Angels
Glory be to God. Thank you Jesus for your love and grace and for sparing the life of this friend I have not met yet. In times like what our world is in, may your children continue to shine. 🙏⛪
Amen, Jesus IS God! 🧡🙏🏽
Yeah forget the doctors who put in the work right? 🙄
Met my ex at their concert in 1991. We danced to this song. For a long time, I couldn’t listen to it without crying. I wish him the best.
Beautiful and heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!.
How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!
No drugs.. my take from this is a mom lost her young child , kept a lock of his hair in her pocket and just hadn't met the cross maker yet...DEEP. .. depression can mess you up. No drugs...just sadness.
And Schizophrenia for sure
I was 15 when I first heard this song. Now I’m 26, in recovery from addiction, & this song hits so much deeper now. To anyone struggling, you’re not alone❤
I hope you're doing well. I am proud of you. You are not alone.
Congratulations! Keep up the courage, bravery and resilience that it took to achieve this amazing accomplishment!😊
Your beautiful you can do it X
I'm 71 and still liked their music when it first recorded and still have the tape of it.
The lyrics stand on their own. The vocal performance is beautiful. They real depth of this tune is the guitar work....bravo Rich.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF U BEEN ON DRUGS OR NOT!! YOU KNOWN SOMEONE OR WATCHED SOME DATELINE OR MOVIE YOU HEY THE MEANING OF THIS SONG
Praying for Everyone fighting addiction 🙏 i have been clean and I know it's not easy 🙏 but I believe in you 🙏 I Love you so dose God. 🙏❤️🙏.
I'm only 28, dad showed me music like this and to this day I surprise the older generations because of my taste in music.
My mother lost her addiction to pills just a few years ago, I play this song when I seem to be missing her more than usual. My nostalgia has created a non existent country where I've allowed her to stay. There is never a day I do not think about you mom, I love you more than I did yesterday and I'll love you even more tomorrow.
To anyone who has lost a parent, I love you and even though I may not "know" you, I am thinking of you most earnestly.
Beautiful and heart touching song❤❤Hello from Scotland!.
How are you doing today? I guess you have a great passion for music just like I do? I hope to hear from you soon!!!

That song makes me think of my oldest sister, whom I haven't talked to in nearly 8 years . Unfortunately, she has been on the low road with drug addiction for many years and has sadly burned all her bridges . Kelly, if you're seeing this, I love you and still pray for your safety out on the streets or wherever you're at .
I hope and pray you see your sister again!
I hope she sees this ❤
Dude that a freaking soul crushing comment. I'm balling tears. Bless You. Don't give up hope. I'm sure she had too much love in her to deal with. Sorry. Peace
I pray that she gets herself back on the road to recovery with the help of the family, it will be well.
I hope and pray you find her, and when you do, hug her tightly and keep her forever ❤
My whole heart is THIS SONG!😭 Clean and sober, momma died and this hits like no other!🥰☺️
I never understood why this song was so special and now I am healing my kids don’t talk to me .. and I understand I am getting better now and my daughter is pregnant with a boy and I don’t know if I’ll ever meet him I have turned to god after 30 years of wondering lost .. I pray I get to meet that little boy I am hoping I’ll have some wisdom to offer when they come back I am grateful for this healing time it hurts but not as bad as being in the darkness
The band that brought me back to the blues. Thank you Black Crowes .
One of the most beautiful songs ever written!!! Thank you so much Black Crows
❤
I'm soo fortunate to have been fighting for 30+yrs & I won't give up on giving up. Gods gotta have my back bc I'm always talking to Him ❤️
Keep fighting
♥️ When having a bad day and all your food friends have past on and your missing them! Dear Lord I hate being sober nothing but a bunch of regret 😔
I wish my brother could have lived to see this year`s reunion. In 2018 we saw As The Crow Flies at The Ryman in Nashville, the end of April and then we saw The Magpie Salute in Huber Heights Ohio on Aug. 21st. Several Days Later he was talking with Angels after a tragic Motorcycle accident. We never even got to compare notes on the two shows, and which we liked better etc. I`ll be seeing them with my son this year on my 64th Birthday and remembering my Brother Karl who was a Huge Crowes Fan. !
R.I.P. Li`l Bro........See You On The Other Side.........Someday.
Damn....R.I.P🙏❤️
@@evanabbott2737 Thanks Evan. This Friday(13th) he would have been 59 years old. So this week I`m listening to Live shows we saw together, over the years, that I have CD copies of.......Both from soundboards and audience tapers.
Live, Love, and Listen To Great Music, Rick
putnpaint stay healthy, my friend🙏
Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately I wasn't blessed with a sibling, but how I wish I was. I can only imagine your pain.
FUKIN JAM MAN , DROPPING 🎤🎵🎶🎶 GEMS 💎💎💎‼️
This song always reminds me of my 7th grade trigonometry teacher. She always talked about angles. Said they were everywhere you looked .
Reminds me of my 7th grade math teacher, she never mentioned the word "addition", unless in certain classes.
I believe that too
AMEN.
ba-DAP-bum-pishhh! 😒🙄
She probably shouldn't be teaching kids, 😂

Without U
I WOULDNT HAVE THEM…..WE DID SOMETHING RIGHT JONBOY
I LOVE YOU
YOUR STACY(Stace)
Blessed to be alive. Survivors guilt for the ones Ive lost that cant be here that should be. Free yourself from the con of poverty. Drugs in any fashion are not freedom, they give you bliss to trap you in a prison that can only blame you at the end of it. Freedom comes from the gift of desperation and connection is the opposite of addiction. I believe in you.
This song helps get me through a ruff day in recovery GOD IS GREAT
Amen brother Godspeed
@@robertaguilar8655 which god?
Depends if u have lost faith. Me
@@hihi2667 Whichever one inspires you to be a better you.
If you would have stayed away from drugs you wouldn’t have to worry about recovery,would you? I am not fooled by these drug addicts and their bs while whining for sympathy. How many people did you steal from,how many ex friends and family members hate you? The ads,commercials,billboards and internet is full of anti drug messages. I guess they didn’t pertain to you?
This song played every day on the radio when I was in jail. I would look out the window and imagine my life without drugs and cry. 6 1/2 years sober now, thank god
you had a radio in jail?
@@elisem1912 I believe it is ok to listen to the RADIO in jail. 🤣🤣🤣
Well done!! 🤗👍
@@beckymm1989 all I know about jail is what I've seen on tv, i didn't know they had radios
Angels channel me everyday.
Lovin me some 1990’s
Last time I saw my brother, this song came on the Playlist in the car. We both started singing after he told my nephew I had a beautiful singing voice. That moved me enough, but he started singing along with me and I couldn't stop the tears pricking the corners of my eyes. My brother and I are very different, but we share a very intense bond and love each other like crazy. He and I lived through a lot of shitty things together and hearing this song from now on will make me remember how I love my brother, my first friend
The most underrated band of the 90's in my opinion.
True,
Trying to compete against the tide of music at the time was almost impossible.
They won me over for life.
They werent underrated. The 3 most underrated bands of that decade were 1. Afghan Whigs 2. Meat Puppets 3. Dramarama.
@@theshelteringsky3196 In your opinion.
@@abubaseet My opinion is based on how much recognition and mainstream success the bands got. Shake Your Money MAker sold 5 million copies according to Wikipedia, and all in all they sold almost 10 million albums in the 90s along with millions more singles. I fail to see hw that = "underrated!"
Yesterday I was at a baby shower for a friend, it was a happy normal party. On my drive home, I felt the tug of this song . . . "she never mentions the word addiction in certain company". Both of my sons struggle with addiction. My son's best friend, who I loved deeply, died at 23 from an overdose. This disease is affects the whole family. Seeing comments from recovering addicts is so beautiful.
16yrs as of 21 June. Took my friend being KIA and me overdosing but I came out on top. Without him I wouldn't be here. This has been my fave song since I was a little girl and didn't understand what addiction meant. Those were the innocent days 💜💜WE DO RECOVER💜💜
Thanks God for All Gifts & Good music to our HappiestHome Heaven Forgiven,Helped & Healed in All forms in our Loving Lord Jesus Christ.Amen. WeLoveU All in Light so Shine on
I'm sending love and positive vibes to everyone who is struggling or has struggled or knows someone thats struggling with addiction!!! I'm dealing with watching friends and family try to overcome the demons that have became their life and coping with the lose of so many of them !! Addiction doesn't just affect the person doing it changes the lives of many !! Bless you all 💕 Stay strong 💕
I'm in highschool and I found this song and it reminds me of my mom, sadly she's still struggling with her addiction everytime I hear this I either cry or smile but it's oddly comforting
Play this song for her. Put the video on your computer and leave it on the table by where she is. Ask her to watch the video and listen to the music. Ir may reach her just as it has so many others.
I dedicate this song, with all my heart- to Jessica Leeanne Armour. Even though you are in denial, the people around you ,see it. May you find peace, and get strong and find the real you once again . Though you have hurt many, I still believe in you. Stay strong, and I pray you find the real inner you .I still Love you, Jessie, and always will stand up for you even if you never want to see or talk to me .
You're always in my Heart.
Just...Tom ❤
I was too young, perhaps, to appreciate the gravity of this song..now, in retrospect, it is so indiscreetly BEAUTIFUL❤
She never mentions the word "addiction"
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family
She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright
Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met
Not yet
Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh, yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
She don't know no lover
None that I ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain't nothin'
But to me, yeah, me
Means everything
She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh, yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna make everything alright
Alright, yeah, heah
She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, heah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, ooh, oh, oh, angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, oh, oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, ee, eah, eah, eah, eah
Call her out
Don't you know that they
Call her out by her name?
Thanks Marty McFly for the lyrics to this beyond awesome The Black Crowes song!
Keep on sister ,, she dont know no lovers none I ever seen 😉😎💃💝🎶🎵🎶✍💌👩🦰🧚♀️❣
A
I Can't stop, I trapped... drunk is what I told my best friends last year... they don't care I guess... they don't call me the way I call them.... so tired
@@erickmeza4325 who?
My papaw just passed away on Tuesday Sept 8th, 2020. & he loved this song and personally picked it out and wanted it played at his funeral. We did everything he wanted for his funeral and now i love this song and think of him and all the memories we made while this plays. He will be greatly missed but never ever will be forgotten. I love you papaw Sambo, and i hope you are having a wonderful time in heaven my guardian angel💔❤🙏😇
Makaila, so sorry for your loss.
I love this song and never did drugs, so don't listen to what's his name.
Only love and memories matter. 🙏💔❤
I feel your pain ,, lost my lil sister in 15 ,she would b 45 on January 28th ,, a hard day to bear my dad was buried on her birthday 💔
@@joanndare2780 if u never did drugs ,you cant really relate ,,no offense,,I admire you 4 that wish ,no ,,I dont wish I never had ,, had some good times ,, dont judge til u walk n someone else's shoes and u cant know unless u ever did a drug what this song really really means ,, it's about the pain ,,and the release from demons in your head u cant ,,let go ,,and the demons where not the drugs the drugs where the smile when the pain came ,, but it took my angel from me ,, would I change anythinh,, just one ,, I'd hold her close n never let her leave
@Beverly Ivie, my best friend of 35 years lost her daughter to overdose and it was too sad. I was there for her daughter before and with her during. I still love the song. 🙏
@@joanndare2780 Bless you for being with your friend ,,I should never have let her leave me
Thank you everyone that shared, my mom was the worst, glad I'm not alone.
Been years now almost 40 with 9 months sober. So happy my daughter deserves a healthy dad
This is 30 years old?? Dang! I didn't realize it had been that long!
The Black Crowes are frigging awesome.
Jody
Praise him! Luv this song .. Good Luck hang in there I'm 62 & I feel ya❤
This song is beyond what most perceive it
Man just reading through the comments I can't help but appreciate how so many "damaged" or less than perfect people have the biggest hearts and are some of the strongest and most genuine people you could ever hope to know. I don't know any of you and there's many different reasons why we love this song. But I have to say I can't help but feel a connection with what so many of you have shared. You're not alone, God bless you all.
Bless you back. Personally, i feel many others use the terminology damaged or broken when to indicate that they want to keep distance. If they didnt see people as damaged, maybe they'd be more willing to pick people up.
@@kristophermichaud4467 I was including myself within the context of that, so I didn't mean to seem like I was judging anyone or trying to be insulting. But I do completely agree with your statement. Very deep and honest thought.
@@stanparker9556 Its all good, dude. No offense taken where none was given. Frankly, comments like these are the only reason why i look at the comments section. G'night, Cap'n, sweet dreams.
@@kristophermichaud4467 thank you bro. Happy Halloween 🎃. Have a good night
Long suffering creates great compassion for others.
I heard this song shortly after losing my best friend on my birthday from a fentanyl overdose. I had talked to him literally in his last minutes before his passing. Chills me to the core 💔🕊
Stay away from that crap. Fentanyl will ONLY bring death. From what I hear they are lacing other drugs with it too. Stay away from it and anyone who uses/deals it. Death is guaranteed with fentanyl
There have been times where I doubt myself on knowing how to play the guitar, but when I listen to this it gets my spirits back into it, thank god songs like this exist
No matter how you feel or what you think, please don't ever stop. Your loving this song tells that you got a lot of soul and a sharp ear for great music. Based on that, I know you're a great guitarist 🎸 👌🏿 🏆
Please keep on playing for my sake. I will feel it in the wind. ❤🙌🏿
