As writer and director I feel it was important to show how PTSD still can affect a domestic violence survivor even 17 years later. But more importantly I wanted to show how we can recover quickly with tools.
This was such an incredible honor to be apart of and as a domestic survivor myself, it was a healing process for me to be able to share this message with you.
Edit: 16 years later ❤❤❤
I can barely speak through the tears, this song touches a nerve. I've been there too and unfortunately my kids were there. my youngest daughter became a domestic violence case worker at a shelter for both men and women. she got burned out it just killed her and she left for a little while and she was a medical case worker for HIV patients, and then she went back to the shelter to manage it. her heart is there and it's not hard to figure out why, even if you can just save one person, one family. your first video of this song is pretty much what they saw in a regular basis, it is crazy as it sounds leaving was really scary but it's the best thing I ever did. people don't understand your frame of mind my friend came to me and said if you don't want to save yourself save your kids that's all it took......my kids came out great for the hell they went through, I'm always sorry I didn't leave sooner. but you're right with the right tools you understand what happened, why you stayed., and how to change it. PTSD is so real. thank you for making this video I did share it with Elizabeth Elizabeth is also a huge fan. my kids are in a good place they are the most amazing people have ever known
Thank you guys for this
As someone who spent most of my childhood being physically and mentally abused, I agree about the importance of showing how PTSD causes you to relive and feel that pain all over again, throughout your life. Here I am, 40 years old now, and just watching the video of someone else's pain, put me back into that space of lying on the floor, hoping for an end. Years of therapy and a spouse that was willing to help whatever way they could, have helped me a lot with dealing, but that torture never truly goes away sadly.
Everyone working on this did an incredible job, thank you for bringing us a new vision for this great song.
It's been 30 years since I divorced my abuser, and I still deal with PTSD from it. Not as bad as I used to, but there are some issues I may never fully recover from.
Thanks for watching everybody we love you! Be kind to one another!
Will do!! Thats why I love RJA.. 😇👌🇵🇭
🤘🤘🤘
Now we just need the original screamo version re-released!
☺☺
Love you guys so much 🥰💕
I love how all these older bands are re-releasing old songs. Emo will never die!!!
Emo's not dead 💖 Never say die! 💪💀👑
Unfortunately Emo is dying. Maybe not in us, but in our friends we lose to suicide, those lost to alcohol and drug use. I had to write a friend who was injured in an accident involving substance abuse about how I’m not leaving (them) behind, I’m waiting for them to catch up. I had to bury my brother’s best friend. I have a friend who killed someone when they were driving drunk. The story doesn’t end with my friends, my family. The story ends when the abuse ends, and it’s a long harrowing road.
Never be afraid to offer support, never be afraid to stand in defiance, never be afraid to be a voice of the voiceless.
Make emo great again.
@@skuuadrat gross😊
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave Acoustic” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎧
I'm a DV survivor with a PTSD diagnosis. I was a teen mom and I barely escaped my ex-husband with my life in 2001. I've recently purchased my first home, been promoted at work, I'm 3 classes away from a Bachelor's AND my AA degrees and I'm getting married to my best friend in November. I just realized that the lady in this video is the same woman from the original video! When I realized that, it brought me to tears. Her success and newfound happiness is tangible, and seeing that the trauma still sneaks back in to destroy it, resonates in my soul. What an everlasting masterpiece!
The song pausing and the band waiting respectfully while she took her time to calm down and come out of her flashback... what a breathtaking scene. This was gorgeous.
Yes the way it was all caught on camera too so brave and majestic.
It was such a powerful scene. And the way how the music is overlayed in the scene just enhances the moment. The entire video is just so breathtaking.
@@mysoullesscorpse it was such a beautiful choice to make when they were planning the video out, because the world so often does not pause to give us time to recover. They deliberately did. I hope people see that and take a cue from it. ❤
Looking through this comment section I noticed some toxic comments. Not cool, we can be better than that
@@wiccan-demiurge don't let these rude people get to ya sister. Though not all were rude. Thank you for taking a stand for people like me 💗
It was an honour to act in this video and to film the behind the scenes video for this! I'll never get over it! Thank you all for trusting me and I'm so grateful for this team!
You crushed it!
Couldn’t imagine anyone better for the role ❤
It was a pleasure having you! Hope to have you back sometime!
You were fantastic. Thanks for helping to tell the story
Awesome working with you K! ^_^
This is literally perfection. The fact it’s the same actress just makes it so good and everything from the tone to the pauses just brings tears down my face. Absolutely beautiful
That's the same actress? I had no idea!!
@@shawnsullivan6399yes. she is same artist from 15years ago
It’s one thing to re-record a popular song, but to use that as an opportunity to create such a beautiful film clip and powerful message is just amazing. ❤
I really appreciate how both music videos only show the woman and not the abuser. The focus is on her, and how she’s healing. I also appreciate you showed that healing never stops, there are certain things you can never “get over” and forget. Beautiful video and beautiful singing
If the healing never stops then you never really healed. 😢
Agree, the music and the video amazing
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘
Ok, but can we take a second to appreciate how great Ronnie Winter's voice is here? I'm genuinely impressed at how good this sounds.
Aged like a fine bottle of wine 👏 I was genuinely surprised at the clarity and strength of tone in the high notes after fifteen ish years ✨️
@@alnabulsi313 fifteen
As a teen in an abusive household this song was pure emotion and an outlet. Now as an adult, this version hits differently as I reflect. This version was absolutely worth the wait. Thanks for continuing to see those in need.
Same... it was a way to vent but this version... heals.
You saved my life in 2006, accepting and understanding domestic abuse. I'm hopeful that you'll save many more with this new version.
Kendra Cover reprising her role in the same song gave chills and also a perfect closure. 16 years is a long time and this time skip of the aftermath is gold!
holy shit, is she actually the same actress from the original music video?
exactly
i agree
@@user-cj8ns1nm3y it is 🥰🥰🥰
Ironic timing. 16 years ago I entered into an abusive relationship. He introduced me to this song. For 16 years I slowly began to understand what the lyrics really meant. I left my husband last month and we are finalizing the paperwork in 2 weeks. This new version feels more relatable and more meaningful than ever. Thank you for this ❤️
Remember that you are strong, and that life may be messy at time moving forward, but you made it through this storm and you can make it through much more now that you know how to sail. (sorry for the nautical references).
Even though I don't know you, Im glad you got out. The effect a relationship like that has on your life is tremendous. It'll be a long journey ahead but you are strong. You already made the hardest step.
I'm so proud of you for taking that next step 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Congratulations, truly. It takes a lot of strength to finally cut ties, I have been in 3 different abusive relationships, ranging from physical, to emotional, to mentally abusive and the longest one took me 6 years to get out of, so I couldn't imagine the pain you've been through. Keep fighting, keep your head up, and keep telling your story. You never know who you may help, whether intentionally or inadvertently.
Aww dude :( you're strong. You're ok.
As an abuse survivor that found this song 15 years ago, as a teen, with only escapism through music listening to this song soothed me. Now, after being out of that relationship and being 31 years old, ptsd still conquers my mind, but in a beautiful and healthy relationship as well as her. The song still soothes me but in a different way. Absolutely incredible work. 🙌🏻
I'm a DV survivor myself and I feel like I grew right along with her between the two videos. When I used to listen to this song, I was a victim. Now, many years later, i have a happy and successful life even though I still go through PTSD moments from back then. Just like her in the video. This had me in tears. Thank you for this.
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘🔥🐺
That's cap 🧢 🎓 over 9999!
❤ I’m in the same position - many many years of family then relationship dv/sa. Now alone far far away with my kids healing. It’s hard but so so worth the life that seemed like a dream ❤
Felt so nostalgic to see the women of the original face down 13 years later !! Very good work I’m in love with symphonic edition ! Can’t wait for the full album !
GO WATCH THE ORIGNAL AND THEN WATCH THIS, They go together and whoever directed this knew exactly what they were doing, such an amazing band
❤❤❤
They added the same cast I suppose?
@@Jello_o yes
The actress is the same woman? woahhh
Same lady, Kendra, from the original video 17 years ago
Just found this after watching the original version, yet again. Wow, I'm STILL crying. Thank you to the band, what a perfectly executed vocal as if you somehow felt what I was feeling in the thick of that nightmare, 3 torturous years- I finally got all the way out in November 2022. Working on my healing and trust everyday and I think I always will be. Thank you to everyone involved. I pray that every person being mentally, emotionally, sexually and physically abused gets out today, and that the laws in the US catch up right now with the UK and Ireland. God bless you all and God bless us all and keep us safe. Love.
Beautifully written. I so agree with you, as I also am a survivor of domestic abuse. Peace❤
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘🔥🐺
I’m glad you mention physical abuse as well. There was this kid who wouldn’t stop kicking me, hitting me, physically harming me. I’m scarred for life now.
This song helped me to get away from my abusive husband all these years ago. I love it. Today I am happily married with the love of my life.
I am SO proud of you 🫂 ❤
🙏🏽
You’ve taken a song that means so much to so many abuse survivors and made it even more meaningful. Thank you, thank you.
12 years. 12 years this has been a song I held onto to keep me strong. Ive cried many times screaming it. We survive, we adapt, we grow. The song is better then ever. You guys captured real strength in this.
I grew up in an abusive home. I watched my mother use makeup to cover up black eyes. Me and my siblings would use “rough housing” as an explanation for bruises when teachers asked if we were ok. When this song premiered on MTV I was 13-14 years old. And I couldn’t believe the wave of emotion came over me. It was one of the first times I realized I wasn’t alone.
Fast forward to now, I watched my mom survive and recover from our past and she is now married to the most loving man I’ve ever met. To this day I thank him for helping her. This video was an awesome representation of PTSD and how we can still feel trapped. But with a helping hand and loving people we can keep going.
Much love RJA. Come back to Albuquerque soon. ❤️
God, every single thing about this is a masterpiece. From the impassioned delivery of the lyrics, to the expertly-done flips between vocal registers, to the parallel of putting on makeup in her new life to get ready as opposed to covering up bruises, to the frenetic confusion of the glass breaking leading to a triggering memory, to the pause while she recovers from her flashback on set (cold water for grounding and pulling yourself out of distress!!! a a frequent technique I use myself!!!!!), to her steps toward self-acceptance through creating art...I am sobbing. Thank you so much for creating this. I am in awe, and things like this remind me why I love and value music and art so very, very much.
❤❤❤
The fact that they most likely researched actual calming and distress tolerance techniques really speaks to the real reason we've been coming back for 15 years ❤ such an amazing piece of art
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘
Amazing 🖤
Thank you sir!
I felt emo again 🧛♀️🎸
What???
I've been waiting for this song since I saw your magnificent video. This made my day!
@@Eligos666 me too wax looking all over for this version when i heard it @the end of his video.
I love the fact this version continues the original story of the original release of the song and the emotional feeling throughout both hit the same chords that no one should be treated like this and should always find help. Absolutely brilliant job on everyone's behalf for the video and Red for rerecording this and making it more elegant and just as amazing as the original release.
2009: A rock song is released to the world and an eight year old me is seeing this song heard in a flash animation. The song strikes a special cord within him in the instrumental and amazing vocals.
The song helped make a special piece of nostalgia for me and many others, one that was lost, a long time ago...
2022: Here I am, 13 years later, at the age of 21, listening to a symphonic version of the song I grew up with...those memories came back flooding and my life had changed quite a bit since then. The symphony remains beautiful, even after all this time.
@mysticstrider Sorry, just a moment of nostalgia that the song was giving me. Didn't mean to offend anyone who has dealt with Domestic Abuse in their lives...
Though my father was a neglectful sort so what do I know?
Ok because why did it take me 4 months to realize this was rereleased I literally only saw it in a comment on the original. Now I'm here crying getting ready to go to work.
This has been such a good few months for this music community. Old bands are reuniting and now this masterpiece. The video is absolutely beautiful.
This is so good but you must hear "Whispering Wolf" or "Live Not Survive" by SLT 🔥🎸🤘
I don't know exactly why.. I had a very simple and uneventful childhood... but still when im sitting here thinking of all the times as a teenager and this song and even just reading through the comments, I can't help but shed a tear remembering all of the feels. This is cool to me 🤟
This released when I was in middle school, and in high school I was in an abusive relationship. Now 12 years later, with PTSD from it, I am finally in therapy and this song re-released. It hit me like a freight train with all the emotions coming back.
I grew up listening to the Don't fake it album and still to this day I love it. This version of face down brings tears to my eyes. And the fact that it is the same girl in both videos brings it home.
I write through a translator..I have only recently discovered this group.the first version went 100%..and from this version and watching the video, I had tears flowing.and every time I watch this clip, tears come to my eyes...I want to cry..thank you for this version...Thank you very much
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘🔥🐺
This whole project is incredible. From the song to the video. Its so cool that you got the actress to return from the original video and continued her story years afterwards. Very effective storytelling for such an important topic.
12 years I spent in a relationship with mental and emotional abuse. I started listening to this song 9 years ago after I left him. Every time I hear it I remember why I left. Thank you for highlighting DV and the PTSD that comes with it. 2 days ago in cvs I heard and saw a man berate his wife in front of me because she forgot to get a receipt, I got scared and sweaty but I stopped her and showed her you can see the receipt for prescriptions in the cvs app. The man said thank you and the woman looked grateful. I think I saved her from getting talked down to all night. If you see something speak up!
CRYING SOBBIN THROWING UP! I love how they continued the plot of the original music video. The song is just as amazing as ever, didn’t think I needed an acoustic version of it until now. Everything about this was amazing! Pure perfection!
I know how much PTSD sucks, and some of this is also showing how the anxiety can get you, later way after the abuse or whatever may have you given you PSTD. Also amazing how his voice sounds the same after this many years. ❤
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘
Not me crying more now than I did when the song first came out. Thank you so much guys. All the love to everyone in the comments and to the band🖤
Ronnie's voice has gotten so much better over the years from a technical stand point. The mixed voice in the bridge at "I finally had enough" is outstanding!
Just discovered this version and man this is powerful. If you're a survivor just want to say I love you.
PLEASE READ:
So beautiful, I’m crying..
I would love to get a tattoo of “a new life she has found” in your handwriting! Please make it happen! ❤
I’m an abuse survivor, it’s been about 5 years now & I’m still struggling. This meant so much to me! Thank you.
That is such an amazing idea, and super sweet!
I am crying. The portrayal of PTSD is so accurate. This was a perfect video to go with this song. I would scream this at the top of my lungs as a young teen when it came out, counting down the days until I turned 18 and could get away. Now I sing it with a smile because I do have a new life, so much better and happier. But incidents will happen that will trigger the fight or flight response, and I'll have to calm myself back down and work through the PTSD episode. 15 years later. Thanks for this The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus!
This song hits even harder as an adult coping with PTSD. Thank you
I may not have been a DVS.. but I did personally go through sexual, mental, verbal and physical abuse because of the people I was deemed to call parents.. y'all's song got me though my childhood/adulthood.. this version as well brought me to tears.. much love guys thanks a bunch!!
That's still DV, regardless of who were the perpetrators. You certainly did NOT deserve it either way however.
God, I'm sitting here crying at this video... It captures the emotion of PTSD so well... Very well done to everyone involved!
Can I just say how beautifully this was sung? I've never heard the high portion of the song sung that way from anyone. It sounds so unique and pure. Incredible. Everyone who put time and effort into creating this for all of us, you are beautiful souls. Thank you.
As a DV survivor who finally got out a year ago, I'm still working through healing and this song has been very close to my heart. Now that this version came out, it feels so much more powerful to me and it honestly made me cry. All I really want to say is thank you for putting this song out there, both the original, and the remake. Just..... Thank you.
I got up the courage to get my son and myself away from our abuser last year. I've always loved this song, but you've created a masterpiece out of an already phenomenal song. Thank you for this music. You have helped me find the strength to where I said I finally had enough. This song has brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for help in getting me through the hardest time of my life
After 15 years, I always sing this song every weeks, every months and every years. I love this song so much when im a teenager. Until now I love this so much. Love you RedJumps!
This is stating it perfectly. I watched the first video over and over years ago still in my abusive marriage, now I watch this after being gone several years and this video speaks so much truth about how it can still hit you on your healing process, but you can still build a new life!! Great job!
Kendra is just as beautiful as I remember her. Such a wonderful video and a powerful song. Masterpiece.
As a survivor of domestic violence, Seeing the 2 different outcomes of this song is like night and day. The original told her story then, and this one she has survived and is helping with awareness. Thank you guys so much!
It's insane how a song can mean something so different to you today than it did when it first came out. Beautifully redone, hits super hard. Left my abusive husband in June. When she went in the bathroom- it felt like it was me. Well freaking done everyone involved
Dear Ronnie, you're one of the reasons why I'm still trying my best to survive despite the challenges that I've been through and will be coming soon. I wish I could write and send you a postcard to express my gratitude for being always there - streaming and interacting with us(your fans) on Facebook, Twitch, and UA-cam. This version gave me another interpretation of your lyric's message in another perspective - another sense of meditation. There's more that life has to offer and you've become a huge part of my life and took a piece of my heart. I love you so much, Ronnie. I hope you and the band always take care.
Grew up on the original! I went through this myself as a young adult. I can finally say I'm happy with how life has been now and that I've left that situation. The hardest part was starting another relationship and trying to unlearn toxic responses and trying to trust people. This version is amazing and I love every second!
As someone with PTSD, thank you so much for making this beautiful film. This made me cry, and was so validating to know that I am not alone. Thank you.
This is so good but you must hear "Whispering Wolf" or "Live Not Survive" by SLT 🔥🎸🤘
This song has withstood the test of time RJSA. I honestly did not know if you were still making music or even touring. I first heard this song back in 06 and hearing it in a completely different form still tackling the same issues that was the original message of this song. Thank you for re releasing this song in 2024. For every DV survivor we are not alone and DV just doesnt mean for husband and wife. Children are also victims are domestic violence from their parents or step parents. I am 34 now I was 16 when i heard this song.
16 years ago this song was released and I connected so deeply with it. And today it’s like the younger version just broke again hearing it from a different perspective. That’s amazing
This song helped me survive the first time from my step father, the 2nd time from my 1st husband, and now this beautiful version will help me keep on surviving and thriving. Much thanks and Love RJA! You couldn't fathom what you've done for me. I'm so grateful and I love you all! ❤️
To Ronnie: your songs single handedly inspired me as a child. I never thought I'd ever be able to sing or play guitar but 15 years later, I've already released 6 songs on my own and got some airplay all whilst staying in a homeless shelter recovering from a drug addiction. I'm 27 now, the lead guitar sections in your older songs still inspire me today especially knowing that you wrote them at 18 years old. Dude, I just wanna say that your recovery alone is a shining light, regardless of how big or small RJA are now idc. Just the recovery is enough. Thank you for how your music influenced not only my emotional life but later on, now my musical life. Knowing that you may even see this message is even more mind blowing. Thank you Ronnie and God bless you my friend. Love from South Africa. Trent
Growing up listening to this song and putting it on repeat my entire life, especially high school, this hits hard now that they have made this version. This is beautiful. Thank you so much for this. 💜 Forever will be one of my absolute favorite songs. I put the original on at least twice every car ride with my husband - I will never get sick of it.
I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this version of the song since hearing it on the Emo's Not Dead channel when it was featured. I searched everywhere and realized it was never released!
This song helped me heal so much when I was younger, and seeing her healing but still feeling the effects of C-PTSD is relatable now on so many levels thank you guys so much for this updated story
When this song came out while I was in high school, I didn’t care for it too much.
But now here I am, 36 years old and I love this song. Some songs we don’t fully understand until we get some life experience.
In my line of work. I’ve witnessed too many domestic violence incidents. Please, if you are victim get help. You are not alone.
...normally I can't stand pauses mid music video, but this one fits and really puts it at another level. Good job everyone. Very heavy, very beautiful.
-MCC
As a DV survivor, the original version was always my anthem for “just hang on, you can escape when his back is turned”. I won’t go into details, but the last time I saw my ex husband was by far the most exhilarating feeling.
The fact that I went 6 states away to start over is irrelevant.
But then you showed that she’s found a partner who is loving, makes sure she remembers her coat, & celebrates her achievements with her... it’s 430am, & i’ve just started a new job, have a new partner that lets me be a weird little chaos gremlin... & for the first time in way too long, I finally feel safe.
If you’re reading this, & you don’t trust the roof you’re sleeping under, I promise: one day, you will. One day, the sun will rise on the kind of beautiful morning that you’ll sit there, warm drink in hand, & your loved ones slowly starting to stir inside. One day, you’ll look back & go “It wasn’t worth it, but I’m glad it turned out this way.”
You just have to see it.
The trauma never leaves us, can rear it’s ugly head…but we get better at handling those flash back moments. I loved the original and I love this version. We can heal, and live our lives. Because we are worth it.
This is so good but you must hear "Whispering Wolf" or "Live Not Survive" by SLT 🔥🎸🐺
I was 5 when the original version was released I'm now 21 and having gone through hell because of someone I thought I could trust 3 years ago I was lost and today I'm listening to this understanding and feeling every word 🖤
I get that you said some people won't like this but this song is so beautiful, with a strong message. This song has always been a gift, and anyone who doesn't appreciate it didn't deserve it. I feel after all these years you guys did the song justice, giving it new substance.
What an extraordinary thing this is, I've grown older and grown up, and one of my favourite bands, favourite songs and favourite music videos has grown up with me. Thank you for this guys, it's really something special. ❤️
During the flashback part, and i still can feel it, i feel his hands on my throat, i could feel myself fading again. God, i had the impulse to feel for the bruises... It's been almost a year since i left. One year. One year...
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🔥🐺🔥🤘
After 13 years 😢
I was 14 years old when the best years of my life was suppose to began.
I’m 27 years old now. Looking back at it. It was all needed to be where I am today.
Years later and I still cry, thank you for making this version
This was beautiful and I felt the story continues and concludes years after years since the original release since 2006( middle school days). Once again this Iconic Song rereleased in a symphonic way and telling the story of a former victim now living her life and making videos of spreading the message about domestic violence and abuse that rages on society. I hope this story and the message spreads through this generations and generations to come! Thank you Red Jumpsuit Apparatus! Staying Strong since the Beginning!
I will always love the original version. Infact, it was one of the first songs i ever covered with my first band as a kid. But I absolutely LOVE this. Bringing to light how abusive relationships can have lasting effects for YEARS. This was beautiful. Bravo fellas. Bravo!!
Man I remember when this song came out! I was in high school. Now as a grown man and hearing this song like this has shed a new light on how good this song really is. Bravo Brothas!
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘🔥🐺
I sent this to my Dad because he listened to me in my bedroom at 12 years old belt EVERY SINGLE line to the whole damn album 🥲 he still talks about it
This honestly made me cry. This is PTSD from domestic violence. It is embedded in your mind. I myself I am survivor from domestic violence and sexual assualt. I now advocate for those who chose to walk away from those situations.
3 years after saying I had enough and with a healthy relationship, I still feel this song in my soul. I relate to this video so much.
I used to love this song as a kid, not really understanding what it was about. This is my first time listening to it after having been in (and broken free from) an abusive relationship. I'm in tears.
So as an elder emo, I never really appreciated the symbolism behind this song when it first came out, but four years ago, a very close family member became the survivor of an extremely violent attack that almost cost her her life. Thank for this follow-up showing how resilient survivors really are ❤️
So blown away right now. 😭
The outcome of DV and living with the PTSD, flinching, anxiety attack moments, this was honestly a great video to put out to show others the aftermath of surviving that abuse. There’s always a way out !!! Even if cops have to get involved. Theres a way out !!know there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel even if it doesn’t feel like it at this moment. My heart goes out to the woman who went through this, are going through this, are still stuck in this, or didn’t get a chance to walk away from this 🤍
very few pieces of media can make me cry. This is one of them. Beautiful and poetic.
As someone who has been out of an abusive relationship for a few years now and gone through intense amounts of therapy....it took me a few pauses to get through the video but this is because I feel like you guys did such an amazing job capturing the emotions of what it's like dealing with PTSD from a traumatic relationship! It was hard but amazing! I'm really appreciative that you guys decided to do this!
This song still gives me chills after all these years. And I hope RJA knows how much this song means to so many people.
"It was you" and "dive too deep" were some of the songs that i played on my wedding. I've love the band since high school, and even though my favorite genre is metalcore, this band holds a special place in my heart. This version is awesome, and his voice still on point, even better.
Thank god, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus playing the last song with the new version. 😃
This song hits as hard, if not harder now than it did with the original. Such a powerful and effective song, video and message. My husband is a therapist and I am going to suggest he plays this video in group sessions for trauma survivors. Thank you, RJA! Much love.
This version is so much more impactful and shows a deeper meaning to it. Another work of art! Prayers to all those who are survivors of domestic violence and who are continuing everyday to be stronger than the last.
In high school I loved this song then when I married my first husband I went through what this song was saying it randomly came on tv when he was at work on a music video station I had playing while cleaning I cried like a baby and then when it went off a packed up my daughter and left out the door it gave me the courage to leave loving this new version I cried listening to this
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘🔥🐺
Years later and a message still stronger than ever, absolutely beautiful. I love seeing you guys creating.
The guy in the end vid still trying to figure out how to open the poppers 🎉. Old but gold!

Wow this was so powerful to me I broke down for a good cry. As some one who survived a domestic violence attack it showed the little wars we overcome daily. Thank you RJA for your amazing writing and beautiful hearts

This kinda crazy, I used to listen to you guys a lot when I was in middle school. In fact, I hadn't thought of this song in years until I saw there was going to be a new version. It's kinda crazy how things work out, one moment I am an edgy 15 year old, the next a working 31 year old. This was a true masterpiece in every way.
I just got out of a situation like this just a month ago . I finally had enough. Both versions of this song are helping me heal and deal. I love this video so much. Thank you so much for remaking the song. ❤️❤️
I never knew this classic could get any better but here we are! Well done!!! Yall are still one of my all time favorite bands!!!! I still remember talking with ronnie and his wife after the show at the national in richmond for like 15 minutes! Yall still rock!!!
Thank you. I remember being young, and dumb. I got into a toxic relationship, and even married him. I remember listening to this song, the original. And I remember really understanding and connecting. I remember getting the nerve to leave, and move on and blasting that song. You guys helped me through the most trying time of my life. I often listened to the original to remember how far I’ve come and how strong I am.
And then you guys release this version. And it is the most beautiful, heartfelt feeling I’ve ever had. Thank you. So fucking much.
His voice hasn't change a bit from decades ever since then when he sing this song.
Thank you for doing this. It is absolutely beautiful and I am here crying many years later hearing the song.
To anyone suffering from this, Please seek help, I promise there is a way out ❤️
14 years ago, I'm just banging my head while listening to the original version.
but now, i'm appreciating every words of it. ❤️❤
hoping that you will make a wedding version of "Your Guardian Angel"
It's ironic that this song was and still is one of my favorite songs. My older sister used to play the screamo version a lot. As I got older I started to realize why I loved this song so much. Thank you so much for this song. It got me thru a lot of shit with my family.
