I am a recovering alcoholic. I used to listen to this song when I was struggling trying to get sober and could relate so well. Then I got sober and wished well on Scott, not knowing very much about him or the band. To find out that he didn’t make it out of the disease of depression and addiction was heartbreaking, truly. R.I.P. friend. It’s not easy... but to anyone struggling, it is possible. Never let your demons win.
Hey Hooper, how are you doing now? Are you well in yourself?
Much love!
So true, strength and love to all. It's a never ending battle but it's one win at a time that gets us through
fake
I am about to let my demons win
Be strong, my friend. This too shall pass
I have never missed someone that I did not know so much. Scott's passing hurt me in a way I did not think possible. Even after so many years, I still cry. All love to each of you looking for peace. Scott provided us with a type of peace we all need. Let's work together to find it eternally.
Every day hurts, my friend. I never thought it would be the same, too, much like Robin Williams. And yet, here we are. The pain exists. Scott was one of the most important things I never knew that was so important.
I played with Scott and Greg. I wish I died instead of Scott
@@unhandme78 Don't wish that, friend. You're important and you matter, and Scott ultimately needed peace.
I’m crying today about him.
I saw him first in 2009 in Philly. He was in a small shop they cleared out. They had a bar on them. Years later pregnant with my child, she kicked along as we saw then again in Philly.
My mother died that month.
Then my father died a few months later.
Then my step brother.
And I grew so attached to them. To him.
I cry very often grieving his absence. He has given me so much strength, even from the grave. I’m so sad I won’t ever see him again.
If there is an afterlife, I hope I get to thank him.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥@@summerjeffries2434
"The best of me left hours ago" wow, there are some beautiful and powerful lyrics in this song.
“Choke down the gateway drug Open the gates, in came the flood, it comes Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning”
Fucking poetry man
My favorite line in the song. I imagine far too many people can relate to that sentiment.
the man was a blummin genius!! rip x
You are so right. I’m ashamed that I only listened to this song after Scott’s suicide.
Great video too
I'm 42 years old...and this song makes me cry. And I am not ashamed to admit it. Powerful in both its lyrics and the scenes in the video; thank you Frightened Rabbit for making this.
some of his lyrics were just....................what a waste,just wish he could've got the help he needed
😪🙌
No reason to be ashamed of expressing emotions, ever! To feel deeply is to be human :) It's a gorgeous and touching song, I only just came across the band today.
😢 same here
I'm just sorry it took Scott's passing for me to fall so deeply in love with this band. There's magic in these songs.
Same. I was friends with Scott in High School and then didn't pay much attention to his band cos I was into punk. As I grew up and my musical tastes diversified I fell in love with this band, just in time for Scott to die. He was a good man and I miss him.
@@RxOliver p
Amen... he was an incredible artist
Same, sadly never knew much about the band until after his passing.
Just genius, his lyrics will live forever🏴❤️💛
Doesn't matter how successful, beloved, good-looking, or together you think someone's life is, we all carry profound pain and walk around with exposed wounds. Please try to remember that in your daily interactions with others, especially these days.
...
This one stung a lot. Hoping Scott found whatever peace is available to us after this life.
Everyone I love dies
@@desmondaubuchon2667 Hope you are okay friend
Well said
RIP Scott. This song and your music helped me and still does. Your lyrics are pure poetry and unbelievably relatable. You are and always will be missed.
as an alcoholic just drunk and watching random videos, i stumbled upon this and was blown away.
I'm with you brethren.
she looks like my sister who lives in squalor. I've managed one dry birthday. I love the fact she drinks out a can. we always go back to the tins. the news has come in about Scott dying. rip brother 💔
Me too.
Heartbreaking news i hope he is happy wherever he is
funky monkey84 At peace I guess 😔
I wish this song -- and this incredible video -- could be shared with every person struggling through addiction. As well as every parent, sister, brother, relative, lover, spouse, and friend of someone struggling through addiction. It says so much. Thank you, Scott. Rest easy, brother.
RIP Scott. Absolutely gutted. I'm so glad I got to watch you perform. A beautiful man with a beautiful voice. This song gets me right in the feels every time. Stunning.
This is the best visual representation I have ever seen depicting what it's like to struggle with an addiction. It's beyond powerful, especially with the music. THANK YOU 🙌❤🙌
Totally.
My partner was an alcoholic, I lost him 3 years ago. I love this song, I wish he'd listened it and loved it with me.
Sending ❤️ your way
@@danmak8987 Thank you. Kind of you to say.
I remember the lead saying once that every time they release a new set of songs his mom listens and asks if he's doing okay
And unfortunately he wasn't 😔
Everytime he was interviewed about the context of his songs he would laugh about it. That's what hurts most. RIP Scott. FR forever.
Thats part of what makes depression so dangerous. The sufferer will a lot of the time downplay their own pain and try to convince everyone theyre better off than they are.
I am trying get sober. This song always hit me in a way in a way no other song can. I hope that I can make my way there. For others out there that feel the same way, I hope we can get there. I have that disease. I hope to be one of those that break through.
I'm four months clean of smack crack booze and weed. My funding for rehab has been approved and I'm progressing well through my prerequisite classes for rehab preparation. Someone at my classes put me on to this song.
It hurts more because my friend killed himself about the same time I got clean after a long term battle with addiction and poor mental health. He'd been clean while.
Getting clean is the easy part, take your drug of choice away and you're left with you. The real battle begins.
No one in life is a tougher opponent than yourself so accentuate the positives and don't be so hard on yourself. You'll get there. Addiction wants you beating yourself up. Start launching shots at it however small and it builds.
For everyone struggling. You got this.
Peace and love x x
Hope you're doing well, friend ♥
@@hankheel9944 nice one buddy I'm still clean
Sending love your way ❤
R.I.P Scott you have left us with a legacy of such beautiful music that came from a caring soul.
"The best of me left hours ago"
This video is immense.
Years ago my friend used to say this song reminded him of me, back when I used to be a complete wreckhead with complete abandon not wanting help nor realising there was an issue, it's only this past year when I've fully faced that I had an issue with alcohol and started stopping that I remembered he gave me this recommendation. I can't tell you how much listening to it moved me to tears, for how much it nails the throes of alcohol addiction, but the fact that my best friend was able to see how tragic what I was doing to myself was and this was how he was seeing me. Currently 7 weeks clean, not sure how long I'll be clean, but this song truly hits to the heart of the reality many alcoholics hit, I hope whoever is listening to this finds support
I don't know why i this song is compelling to me, still a very heavy drinker, but no one really knows. but I just wanted to say that as someone who understands it fills me with hope to hear of those who get beyond the grasp. Congrats on 7 and keep going to 8,9,10. be well
How is your sobriety going?( Asking as a fellow alkie)
hello, how are you now? :) (im in rehab too)
been a year, hope you're doing ok my love. this hits hard for my own journey trying to fix being a massive alky waste. if you need to talk message me
this hits hard ♥️🖤 my wish to all of us, to stay sober especially when we're down
Five years today we lost ya, Scott. Heart breaks every time I think about you or listen to a tune. Hope you found peace.
every time i hear a new song from them i m thankful to Chuck who introduce me to one of the best band of this few last years
I'm a recovering prescription opiate addict and I listened to this so much early in recovery. The video gives me chills. That's it. That's what it feels like.
love you
I got sober from 22 years of oxy last year. This vid makes me cry, esp after Scott died.
"My love, you should know the best of me left hours ago..."
Such an evocative video to go with this brilliant and powerful song. Captures perfectly the experience of being in the grasp of something beyond your control that you can't fight free of. Scott and his mates in Frightened Rabbit gave us such meaningful and important art during their time with us.
Hope everyone in the band and around the world is good. Thank you FR for your great music. RIP Scott always.
Scott said this of the video; "That was full on. Yeah. It's a drunk lady, having a really bad time. I was sort of struck by that. It was more further than I thought the song went. The song was kinda like... is... has depth, but I don't think it's distressing. But I mean, yeah, I... it wasn't my favourite actually but... you know, it happened. (laughs)." From his Google Talk.
Personally I think his song is much stronger than even he was aware. It has more than depth. It's incredibly powerful. And this video reinforces that.
I'm also an alcoholic, battling with it now for 40 years. I'm 56. I did actually have 8 years sober but I threw it away. And I still battle now. This song hit me to the core the first time I heard it and still has the same affect. I was a fan of FR from 2008 and bought all their albums as they came out. (On CD but now I have them on vinyl). Each one is as brilliant as each other. What a legacy he's left. Scott's passing was shocking and very sad but the lyrics to all his songs tells many stories, that many people can relate to. Let's hope that more people discover this incredible man and his extraordinary talent (and find some healing in the process). The man was a true poet.
had to check if this was my post lol
😪the best of me left hours ago😪scott man😪
As an unfuntual alcoholic this song screems out at me not to give up on giving up..I quit for 2 yrs and 3 yrs but im in the hole again.....I know tut tut ..I'm taking this song as a strong message and putting myself in for a home detox with the strength and determination to get once again happy amd sober and stay there.....Great track thankyou for your exellent lyrcs x😘
Greg, you can do it. And you don't have to do it alone. You can message me if you'd like.
I was sober for 5 years and then fell off hard for a couple years when the pandemic hit, today makes 98 days back on the wagon. It isn’t easy, but stay strong and believe in yourself, you can do it!
What a depressingly beautiful video. This was instantly one of my
favorite tracks off the new album, but this video is simply amazing. Frightened Rabbit is always somehow heartbreaking, but uplifting at the same time.
Such a strange and special feeling. There really should be a word for it.
Dostoyevsky captures it really well in novel form, if you have the patience for them :)
They are the hope after the heyday is gone.
Perfectly stated.
RIP mate.
X
Agnes Wilder his soul is at rest but his artistic talent will be missed another great taken away from us rip scott legend in Selkirk safe oot safe inn
i guess i didn't know that songs and images like this were possible and on May 10 they became impossible again. RIP Scott Hutchinson and Frightened Rabbit. I'm lifted and sunk at the same time
Fall prey to the blizzard head
Wrapped my hand around the glass again
We all thought that I might change as I got older
Fell down and nothing bled
Wrapped in cotton alcohol again
To the hill hear from the prick upon my shoulder
Free pour the fruitless thoughts
It's far too late to talk so much but
Still not giving up though
I wish that I was sober
Forgive me I can't speak straight
Forgive me I can't
Forgive me it's far too late
Choke down the gateway drug
Opened the gates, in came the flood, it comes
Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning
Long nights of getting lost
Iwalk beneath the bridge I don't know
I need black suit for tomorrow, I'm in mourning
My love you should know
The best of me left hours ago so
Shove it right into my mouth and let me smolder
Fallout and the damage done
I can't un-sing the things I've sung
Still not giving up though
I wish that i was sober
Forgive me I can't speak straight
Forgive me I can't
Forgive me it's far too late
Oh come and shake me till I'm dry
Oh I wish that I was sober
Oh come to me and kill the night off
I wish that I was sober
Oh come and shake me till I'm dry
Oh I wish that I was sober
Oh come to me and kill the night off
I wish that I was sober
Songwriters: Grant Hutchison / Scott Hutchison / David Kennedy / Simon Liddel / Andy Monaghan
Rohit Aheibam thumbs up except I think it's 'shove a rag into my mouth and let me smoulder'. 👍
Also it is "To the hilt i hear from the prick upon my shoulder"
@@BiffyC I think it's "to the hilt" as well. it's an old Scott saying
Thanks for the lyrics but yeah it's "shove a rag into my mouth"
@@michaelfedorsha8147 Its also 'un-sink the things I've sunk' referring to 'sinking' pints.
My best British friend wrote me today (15.03.19): something for the weekend! Discover "I wish I was sober" by Frightened Rabbit. Since then I am listening your songs and I am deeply touched by the beauty of sound and lyrics. Then my friend added: the singer killed himself last year sadly. I'm devastated that you lost against your demons. RIP Scott, thank you so much for what you left behind, it's beautiful and I have to add: I love your Scottish accent, brings magic to your sound and a big smile on my face. Yours faithfully, Sir Alex
Magnificent artistic metaphor at battling ones self.
Tears.
I came to Frightened Rabbit just weeks before the death of Scott, still listen, great songwriter
I am a therapist in long term recovery and show this to patients and others to attempt have them understand a bit what being trapped in addiction is like.
Just a question, not an attack, but I've always been taught you have to let them think by themselves and not guide them, showing them such an emotional song might tear them apart mate, If I was shown this too early and not discovered it by myself I might need to tell my family to buy a black suit! Once again, not attacking, merely questioning what made you do that?
@@KINGTDOG74 That's a good point my friend. I don't show this to anyone in early recovery and gauge their resilience and emotional sobriety before I would show this. A thoughtful comment-thanks
@@jamesellermeyer166 and a courteous and well put reply, stay safe and all the best!
Beautiful song, the world is worse off without you Scott.
I’m not an addict to anything but this song but it’s just so damn deep and reflective. God he was a talent of a singer/song writer
Soon to be a Frabbit Classic
This one was one of those instant classics for me. It works on every level. It just immediately hit me.
I unfortunately didn't find Frightened Rabbit until about 8 months ago. It's so very sad to know what happened to Scott. You're an angel, man, and I am sorry you were in so much pain.
The hands as a backrest to the chair is such a powerful image. Shine on, brother...
Probably one of the most underrated songs of the year
Of the past 3 Decades!
Well, that was another heart wrenching affair.
Fack me, every time, every track, every video Scott reaches out and pulls out the waterworks. You'll always be missed.
Beautifully shot video. Love it! ❤️
can't believe it's been nearly since two years since Scott passed...this song helped me through the bleak time of my life when I had drug addiction issues, RIP Scott, still inspiring people from above
There’s so much pain in these lyrics. I’ve never wanted to hug someone more.
6 years!
Scott was a Lyricist like none other.
This song has always been a perfect encapsulation of my struggles with addiction. I’m devastated that Scott is no longer here. I hope he’s at peace. We all will be someday. Cheers mate.
This video is so fkn accurate😢 Drink, but not too much, because it causes you pain. BUT not drinking at all also causes you pain.
One of my favourite songs
Can’t believe your gone Scott 😢
This was the song that started my love for FR.... RIP Scott, you will be missed.
Rest in peace man.
My mom was an alcoholic (she was sober the years up until her early death)… she looks so much like the lady in this video. From size, to face, to drunken expressions and mannerisms. Oddly helpful for me to see this
i’m so sorry for your loss :(
Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
The drums on this are just phenomenal. Really atmospheric and just awesome
"My love you should know
The best of me left hours ago"
I am! 8 days
Thanks buddy
Hope you are still going. Congrats if you are.
Still ok? Start over, if not. Don't give up. One day at a time, I have 31 years! Even when it's hard, life is good.
Please keep it up!
Well done. Don't give up.x
Anyone else crying? 😭
What a devastating song in so many ways.
Anyone who has / is suffering with this. this video is hard to watch. As a recovering alk myself. If you are like me please dont hesitate to message, i'll be here
R.I.P I've had struggles with alcohol depression this song means so much the acoustic version too thanks for leaving us real music and life lessons
“I need a black suit for tomorrow. I’m in mourning.” Is my favorite line for some reason. Rolls off his tongue so well
Thank you and grateful for all the survivors listening to this song, keep fighting.
I just love the atmosphere and sound of this song. It is such a good song!
I'm a recovering alcoholic aswell. totally relate
That was intense. I think most of us have felt like this, at least once.
i immediately shazamed this wonderful song from the 1st episode of the "Roadies" and just found that vocalist died last year, rip Scott..
I don't comment often. But I am so sorry to hear of his passing. His music got me through so much. I hope it's better where he is x
Absolutely incredible
I miss you so much Scott , listen to your songs every other day.merry Christmas and thank you for everything . Glad to be have been beside you in time and to have met you as well.
May your soul be finally at peace bro ❤️
Amazing video. Amazing song, amazing band. Scott you will be missed so much.
Frightened Rabbit know how to make their music videos. Brilliant.
What a brilliant song. Love this and also "Die like a Rich boy"
This is a haunting video, have been clean and sober since before yesterday. Remember being in a psychiatric hospital years ago and being confronted by a psychiatrist. I asked him "have you ever heard the beast roar?" Have you ever felt it roar?" When he said he did not know what I was talking about I told him we had nothing further to discuss and he locked me in my room for a week. Who is so low they are not our brothers and sisters.
RIP your pain is over your music will live forever xx
oh my gosh, this is phenomenal!
I need a black suit for tomorrow. I'm in mourning.x
The best of me left years ago
Beautiful song by a beautiful band.
What a surprise to show up on my news feed!!!!
This song helped me sober up. RIP Scott. Thank you you so much for everything.
Rest in peace Scott 💙 you'll always live on
Love them...
Rest in peace, Scott.
hadn't seen this band until there last TITP gig, LOVE THEM NOW , what a great band
I lost my best friend 17 years ago; an unexpected brain haemorrhage. He was 17 but Scott hurts more because we get it. Rest easy brother
Thank you for all the beautiful music , may you finally find peace somewhere out there
This is their best video in a while
Thanx buddy yer times keep me going so poignant....
Phenomenal guy gone too early but will Neva be forgotten. The tunes are phenomenal ( all of them) again , thanx man XXX
Super song. Made me think - I hope more do x
its so weird. i ended up finding this band because i found one of their band t shirt under my desk and took it home. so glad i kept it ^u^
I just love this so much
Sometimes I get shocked in the fact that great music like this doesn't get viewed, but I also enjoy the fact that its the intelligent people of this world i get to enjoy this music with.
sugey reyes the more mindless the music, the more distraction from the real problems. People don't want to confront their addictions or depression on the way to Pilates. I see their music as therapeutic. Depressingly uplifting as someone else said.
What makes you think it is intelligent people only who view this music?
Chris Graham Im an idiot and I'm viewing it. So not all Intelligent people listen to this
Your comments have given me strength
I want _Blood Under the Bridge_ next.
This is a lovely song.
Seen FR twice by accident, both times opening for another band I came to see. Time to see these guys on purpose.
Sometimes life throws a wrench in your plans. Please allow Scott's lyrics to live on and possibly help others struggling with their own personal demons
Good hearing you again
