For me, this song is dedicated to everyone! We all are in a struggle. Be it mental health, addiction, financial , past trauma, kids, or even feeling alone. I am sad because Everyone has a secret. Let go and Let a higher power take control.
You are 100% correct. The secrets ,shame ,stigma and guilt that comes with mental health, Substance Use Disorder ,PTSD..... HAVE TO STOP !!!! TO EVERYONE, PLEASE SEEK OUT HELP IF YOU NEED IT. YOU ARE WORTH IT. Don't be a Casualty of Stigma.
We all have a journey, and we all suffer... You can't help those who resist it or aren't ready... All you can do is be there for when they are, but in the meantime, you can pray, let go, and let God help them find the path they need to be on... Sometimes, that path isn't what you expected, and the outcome isn't pleasant... Not everyone may be as strong and resilient as yourself... There is no blame only lessons... Victory or profound loss.

I thought I was alone in thinking that this song is perfect for me and my daughter who is a meth addict, 15 years we have been struggling and this past year she really put me in a bad place in my head . She's in rehab again and praying it works for her, but I'm swimming to the shore. She'll either sink or swim I can't do this and battle cancer at the same time. I love this man's voice and the words just touch my soul.
I am sorry you are having a difficult time.My son Evan passed from a fent od.He struggled for 14 years in and out of sobriety.I wish the best out come for you,your daughter and family.I am on other social media sites facebook as Kirk Timperio .If I can help in any way, please let me know. We can arrange a way to communicate if you would like to.
@Fentanylbethechange thank you so much for reaching out, one of my fears is that she will get meth mixed with fentenal. I'm sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine how that feels. I will look you up.
@@nancyembry1594Please get narcan spray and fentanyl and xylazine test strips. Most major pharmacy will give you narcan at no cost to you. I carry them wherever I go in my back pack. You'll never know when you will need it. Wishing you the best.
My son was a meth addict, He passed , He was in & out of rehab. This song describes what I've been through. I miss my son everyday he was a nurse. Very handsome. Rip Jason.Like in the book of Samuel. You shall not return to me.But I shall come to you.
@rhondagreen6761 I am so sorry for your loss. It feels like Matt McClure wrote this song about my son Evan and myself. His addiction effected me so much. I was so entangled in his life and addiction I ignored my ownself and health. I believe addiction is a family disease. Sending courage,strength and hope.
Thank you for the kind words. I need to do this to help others going through the same and not let my son Evan's death not be in vain . I am always available to help/listen to those struggling
So very sorry for your loss. Addiction and watching people care more for drugs or alcohol than us is difficult, at least now there is awareness n songs. Back in the 80s to 2012 I don't remember ever hearing even many conversations n definitely not songs. It is important to write songs n sing them that affect so many people. It's why I was told to write a book on my life,my college psychology professors felt it could help many, but I just never had the time, but discovered it was probably more because the worst happened after told that. Big hugs to you regarding the loss of your son. Remember you need people also to listen n talk with you. Just pick the correct people to talk to. Men hold in too much and they destroy their own mental health while trying to help everyone else, but themselves. I'm here also to listen if it's ever needed for someone.
@desistine398 This is the message I'm trying to get out.👍 substance use disorder (especially Fent) is totally out of control.For me music has such a deep and moving part in my life. I believe that some people don't really pay attention to the lyrics which for me effects me the most. I am a giver by nature ( always have been) and I too fell into the trap of giving to the point of my own demise ( 2weeks in the hospital) I had a break down from everything involving my sons substance use disorder. I have learned how to pace myself better. Thank you for your thoughts.
@Fentanylbethechange well off here I'm always available to talk or listen. I've had to deal w various degrees of addiction with both my parents n im older dealing with ppl in 60s n 70s who addiction was their demise I had to deal with things way before there was anyone but me willing to talk openly about it. I went through family saying I don't know what's wrong with your mother but...even when I'd tell them it was Denial. I can't think of the exact phrase regarding music but has to do with like when your happy you listen to the music but when your sad or depressed you understand the words. I can't relate to losing a child to addiction but had several friends who have but I had to deal w a mother who basically chose alcohol over her only child n grandchildren. Each has its own set of emotional n psychological trauma n effects. I think I got my second degree in behavioral science and psychology to understand my family n my life. My first degree is medical field n trust me the two careers or education had battles in my brain n heart many times. Doing what you are regarding music to heal n awareness is great n should help you in many ways but you still for many yrs will have your moments of anger n just crying n that's OK n let it out because trying to hold in will destroy you especially being a male. Men have it in their DNA n society basically that they are protectors n the ones who are to be in control n fix things but some things one can't fix when your dealing with a disease that just takes control of a person n there isn't much we can do except be there when we can n tough love at times n us trying to deal survive too. Big hugs n remember you too need support n someone too n I speak as someone guilty of always helping others n never asking for help especially when those dark days happen, trust me I've used every ounce of education n life experiences n just knowing to get through things but it's because both best friends deceased n 6 others so I've lost everyone to talk to except I know if I'm in a ptsd bad spot I can contact my ex bf who was a army ranger sniper n 8 deployments n knowing he understands helps
This song so hits my heart ... I lost my 39 year old husband to addiction..it nearly destroyed me.. I pick myself up dusted myself off . And totally turned my life around ...🙏
I am sorry for your loss.It is so terrible to lose a loved one .I am happy your life turned a corner. Addiction is a terrible disease and does not discriminate .Addiction is a family disorder which affects the whole family. I lost my son Evan to Substance abuse. He died from a fent od. The biggest loss of my life. Sending courage, strength,hope and peace.
Awesome song... Bringing the reality of life to a stand still in people's lives when they are faced with a family member or friend that can't hold on It makes it so hard to deal with when you really don;t know what to do to help them because you don't understand it. All you can do is pray for them and hope God will step in to bring them back to reality. Because we, who are dealing with these circumstances don't always know how to help.
In the beginning of my son's substance abuse I didn't know much about addiction. I felt helpless and hopeless when I found out. He was in and out of recovery for 13 years. Substance abuse disorder is a family disease affecting the entire family. I had a breakdown 10 years Into his addiction (2 weeks in the hospital). I found that having a good support group helped me a lot. Unfortunately he could not fight off the demons of addiction and died 4 months after I took early retirement . I did so to spend more time with him because I didnt know how long he would be with us. The BIGGEST LOSS OF MY LIFE. HEARTBROKEN FOREVER.
My son has been in a rage of addiction for 4 years and I am broken. But I have to go on for the others. Praying for all us moms and dads and family and friends affects of watching our loved ones, hurting themselves ❤
@Michelle-iw6diFjB. I am sorry for what is happening in your life. Addiction is a family disorder destroying all in its path. Im a father who lost my son Evan to a Fent OD, the biggest loss of my life.I never gave up on him, took him to meetings,countless different rehabs, drug court, .. He spent time in jail, and I thought that would be his wake-up call ( it wasn't). PLEASE GET SUPPORT IT HELPS!!! You are strong! Do what it takes to help.Some things to think about: Make sure you and your family are safe. Don't enable him it will do more harm and possibly slow or stop him from recovery. And PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. SENDING STRENGTH ,HOPE, AND COURAGE. If I can help in any way please contact me. I dealt with Evans addiction for 14 years and have first-hand experiences dealing with Substance Use Disorder (addiction), mental health, and loss .I am on UA-cam, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and a podcast on Spotify telling our story and helping others in any way I can.
I pray for healing 🙏 my daughter has struggled with meth addiction for many years now. I love her so much. May God please heal her. Please pray for my daughter. Thank you sir for sharing your musical talent and story with the world. Blessings 🙏❤️
My heart goes out to you. It is so difficult to watch your child struggle and be in so much pain. The feeling of helplessness and hopelessness hit me hard when I found my son Evan was using H. His life spun out of control and finally lost his battle with addiction. He died from a fent od. The greatest loss of my life.
Matt,u have really touched my Soul with this Song 💔 I Pray that u get through all the Pain that I just now felt.....ur a Precious Soul & I do appreciate ur talent ....thank u from my Heart to urs 🙏❤️🙏
Just keep talking to everyone maybe you can save more lives. I have e some kids on that and been try to tell them to leave that mess in the middle and I would take them to the shore. Great voice and song. Keep it up Matt.
I understand that the song resonates with people who are dealing with addicts but the line that truly hits home for the rest of us is the "you don't give a ***k about me". It doesn't apply. Addicts still love and care about people in their lives, they just prioritize the drug or alcohol.
@anonymous6180 I agree with you 100% I feel that expression was used to relay the extreme of frustration, anger,helplessness, and hopelessness associated with Substance Use Disorder. Anyway that's my take.
This reminds me of my baby sister who is 17 years younger than me she has a bad drug addiction due to our parents caring more about themselves than they ever did about us and now im the only one who still has faith in her to fight but my family have cut her off i will never give up on her. So to any one fighting addiction know that if you ask for help its the first steps to recovery. And to the families out there please don't give up on them.
@Robert-sg1mi I feel for you and your sister. I am sorry for what you are going through. Substance abuse is a terrible thing to watch a loved one go through. I watched my son Evan go down the path of Substance Use Disorder (addiction). It broke me to watch him destroy his life to H. He was in and out of Recovery for 14 years. 12 different rehabs ,inpatient and outpatient programs, AND I STOOD BY HIM THE WHOLE TIME NEVER GIVING UP ON HIM!!! Praying that things would change, they didn't. 4 months after I took early retirement to spend more time with him ( because I didn't know how long he would be with us) he died from a Fent OD and found by his grandfather. Evan taught me a lot during his short time on earth. Never give up hope. Also, please remember that enabling a person suffering from SUD is never good. Please take care of yourself too. If I can help in any way please contact me. Support is so important for you and her. Sending hope ,strength and courage.
@@Fentanylbethechange it's horrific knowing she is taking that crap into her body I don't drink smoke I won't even take a pain killer. I've lost so many friends to drugs but she is a fighter but coccinellids is a scourge on society. Drugs don't just ruin the person that's taking them it destroys families. Thank you for your kind words ❤
@chris_autumn1550 Sorry for your loss. My son Evan passed from a fent OD. The greatest loss of my life. This song hit me to at my core. I could do only so much for my son. I had to accept his out come wasn't going to be a good one. He had all the tools for recovery.......I had to let go because his addiction started to affect me in a really bad way. Please try not to blame yourself. I know I blamed myself but I did everything I could to save him as I'm sure you did too. Sending courage, strength and hope.
@@Fentanylbethechange I'm sure you did everything you could as well, at that time I was in recovery myself for opiate addiction , his addiction,trying to save him was breaking me , I told him I needed a break from it all 😞that was the last time I saw him he died that night , I'm 8 years in recovery now I wish he wouldn't have left that night , I wish I could have saved him too
I found this song and I met a man has really helped me I am a fentanyl junkie I've lost to many sorry bout your son. This weekend I decided to stop lieing to myself and my loved ones just got free of hep c . Now I'm detoxing again for the 22 last time thank u
I am so happy to hear your decision. Everything I hear,know or see someone make that crossing to recovery my heart ❤️ is filled with so much hope.I have seen too many friends never make it to where you are now. You are strong 💪 KEEP FIGHTING YOUR WORTH IT. Make yourself a strong support team. Being honest with yourself and others is important. Please DON'T LET SHAME OR GUILT STOP YOU. This disorder DOES NOT DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. Sending you courage, strength and hope in your journey of recovery.
@jasmineb7106 I am sorry for your loss. I watched my son go through SUD'S (Substance Use Disorder) for 14 yrs. It was heart breaking to watch. I tried everything to help but ,the outcome was devastating to our family.
@@Fentanylbethechange so very true. I fought the demon of depression and I fought hard. I came out the other side and I am continuing to keep fighting. I have an awesome support system!!
@adreamcatcher4u I, too, fought and still continue to fight depression. It has been a fight since I was 4 yo and experienced a life changing trauma ( 3rd degree burns over 1/4 of my body). I also struggle with ADD, and as a child, you never want to be looked as weird or different. What threw me into major depression was when I found my son was using H. My son Evan died from a fent od 4 months after I retired, the biggest loss of my life. I am slowly recovering from this lifetime of trauma and tragedies. I now have a purpose to not let my sons death be in vain. To tell his story and help others going through the same. Stay strong 💪. Sending courage, strength, and hope.
@@Fentanylbethechange I am so sorry to hear what you have gone through. No parent should ever have to bury their child. You are amazing to tell your sons story and to help others. We need to stay strong and be there for the ones who need help. I almost gave up 1 year and 4 months ago when my 2 1/2 month old granddaughter passed away and I had to help my daughter and son in law plan her funeral. The hard part is being told on her death certificate was that her death was undetermined. She passed away in her sleep so we figure it was SIDS but because she wasn't in her crib it didn't get listed as SIDS. I find it concerning because she passed away 2 weeks after having her 2 months shots at the pediatrician. Thank you for sending me courage, strength and hope!! I am sending them all back to you as well. Thank you for sharing your story with me too.
❤hey Matt, I am Denise from the Netherlands. I just want to say that you make very powerful, beautiful songs. you are very talent full. Please share it everywhere. you have something to give that is very special and straight from your heart, besides the fact that I think you have a beautiful appearance. These songs mean a lot to a lot of people. Follow your heart and continue with these beautiful heart songs. its a gift you have men. much love Denise
I am so very touched by your story. Also I am very sorry for the loss of your son! I've had to take a new path to try to avoid what seems to be the case for me. I've got to shut up and shut down though bc I want to live. It's sad what the world has become. I love your style and your purpose. Sending my love to everyone and 😊with all my heart in it. Bless you
Also I lost my husband in March as we had a relapse in our😢 path to recovery. Suicide was what they called it. I know that I'll see him again I just don't want it to be too soon
Thank you, and I'm sorry for your loss. I now speak my sons name and story every chance I get to do everything in my power to help. I will not let my sons passing be in vain.💔💔❤️🩹
So so sad , this dad knew there was no more he could do for his SON ... he woke up the drug was winning 😢& he saved him self & probadly others with this Powerful song about love , hoplessness , then God helped him save him self ❤❤❤ BRAVE BEAUTIFUL MAN XXXX
My husband is an alcoholic addict and narcissist and has been abusive throughout our 26 years together. I finally got up the courage to file for divorce to save myself. I listen to all your songs to stay strong and fight off the manipulation and my feelings to return to the relationship. Leaving an abusive relationship is the hard and I want to gain back myself and safety and enjoy the rest of my life. Your songs and emotional impact they have will keep me strong to make it through.
Oooh honey this is so heartbreaking and I relate. Got 2 in my life now I'm trying to save.. so good Brother. I'm so sorry about your son. I'll keep praying 🙏
Thank you. I'm sorry for what is happening in your life. Please make sure you take care of yourself. I tried for 13 years to save my son Evan. Losing my son was the biggest loss of my life. Sending courage, strength and hope. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF OR THEM.
I understand your pain the suffering you had to endure My deepest apologies Stay strong, I can tell you are You music speaks, you're are truly an inspiration Thank you for sharing this message ❤
So grabbed me this morning this battle is excruciating I’m still trying to see the shore! Where I’m from there’s there’s no true help here! dis judgment, Tours and nightmare, if you don’t have plenty of money then nobody wants to. Help! Beautifier throwing you in a rat hole 30 days later they say you’re free and clean go make something of yourself when reality is str8 back to the beginning till the end! Thank you I just found you 2 songs ago Love your message
I am so sorry for your loss.I lost my son Evan's to a Fent OD.I feel this song was written for me and how my sons addiction effected me. I went down a deep dark hole of emotional pain and was lost.I was drowning trying to save him but I had to detach with love and let him go on his own path. Only then i could breath.We are not alone in this journey of loss.Join us and heal.
Love 💕..Eu sunt din Romania,nu prea știu să scriu engleză,dar foarte interesant căci sufletul meu pricepe tot fără să învățat engleză.. Mi-a înviorat sufletul trist și chinuit în mintea mea confusa, mulțumesc că exiști...
I too lost my 42ys son Jason to fentayal mixed in cocain , 😢 December 6 2021 , so shocking miss him so , took me a year to recover from that awful day he was found in his apt , My first son ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child at any age is a parents worst nightmare. I lost my son Evan to a fent OD. He was found in his apartment by his grandfather. The greatest loss of my life. Sending courage, strength and hope.
Someone once tried saving me from drowning and said the same words to me about having to let go running out of air it's so strange how I come across this video today if your him or know him please tell him I am sorry for any mental stress I caused him.
I JUST LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I ALMOST LOST MY SON MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO A DRUG OVER DOSE. HAD I NOT BEEN STAYING THE NIGHT WITH HIM HE WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY. GIRL THAT WAS IN HIS ROOM WITH HIM GAVE HIM FETANOL THEN ON HER WAY OUT THE DOOR SHE SAYS YOU BETTER GO CHECK ON YOU'RE SON HE DONT LOOK TILL GOOD. HIS LIPS WERE BLUE ETC, I STARTED GIVING HIM CPR AND CALLED 911. I THANK GOD I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT. 😢
My 7 year old and I 8 years ago, tried to save his Papal from alcoholism, he died and my teen now is all messed up from finding him then, stroked out on the floor😢😢😢😢😢
There you go Matt let God use you I don't know what you've been through in your life only God knows all the hurt and the pain that you've been through but now you're letting God use you to help others get through their pain your beautiful soul you're an angel of God keep on but God use you to touch many hearts I'm sure you went through something if you hadn't you wouldn't know no one else is hard or pain you couldn't sing about it you had to go through it yourself but God help you through it and now you can help others thank you Matt for your love for you god-given boys you have a powerful gift keep using it ❤️
My son was on the meth. Always on something that makes him mad. Now he is in prison for a long time. I understand completely. I for years trying to get to him. He didn't want help. I had to let him go. That brought me to my knees. Nothing more painful then losing a child. 😢
Sorry for what is happening in your life. Substance abuse disorder affects the entire family. My son Evan spent time in jail. When he was in jail I knew he wasn't using and those were the times I could sleep and not worry. Evan was active on and off for 13 years . The biggest loss of my life.You have to make sure you are taking care of yourself .Sending courage, strength and hope.
That the hardest decision a person can make is when you love with your soul and heart the best thing you can do is to walk away it so painful but it only way there only one person in that relationship other one is a slave will do what every is called to do 😢
So sorry for what you are going through. This song makes me cry everything I hear it. Pease try not to hold on to the anger. I know I did, and it put me into the hospital. Sending courage, strength, and hope.
While I wasn’t particularly close to my brother, he was my rock in my family of origin. I knew I could go to him. He passed away in March while taking a nap. I knew he was down to only drinking scotch everyday but I also found out he had stopped taking his meds like a year beforehand. I guess this was passive suicide. He was just waiting to die. I’m so sad for him. I’m so sad for his family and me. While I don’t know how an addiction feels, I do know what depression is all about. I’ve dug myself out of a hole that was so dark I didn’t know a hole could be so deep and black. I’m hurting right now. I don’t understand why he left.
I am sorry for your loss. Depression can be very life changing. I know it changed my life. Throughout my sons substance abuse my depression got to the point where I admitted myself voluntarily to the hospital. If it wasn't for my wife I don't think I would be here today. I wish I could say that was the lowest I've been but it's not. It was the day we found our son Evan laying on his living room floor not alive. Please get help if you need it. To many people suffer in silence.
Be gentle on yourself. Healing takes time. Don't give up. you're worth it. I lost my son Evan to a Fent OD. I still carry this great grief and that's ok I believe it's part of the healing process. I hope and pray that one day I'll start to heal.Sending courage, strength and hope.
Yah me to saved him severaltime last time try gave him CPR But he crossed over anyway But he care he love me But the Drugs ( the drugs like a Gator 🐊 took him under )had him he just couldn’t quit out been 🔒 locked up no money 💰 for that ..the drugs took under for last time he 19 years old Well some mothers don’t get take there baby home ( I remember young girl 18 old gave Brith at same time I did but she never went home from hospital with her son I did for 19 years I’am greatfull for that ..
For me, this song is dedicated to everyone! We all are in a struggle. Be it mental health, addiction, financial , past trauma, kids, or even feeling alone. I am sad because Everyone has a secret. Let go and Let a higher power take control.

Bringing the reality of life to a stand still in people's lives when they are faced with a family member or friend that can't hold on It makes it so hard to deal with when you really don;t know what to do to help them because you don't understand it. All you can do is pray for them and hope God will step in to bring them back to reality. Because we, who are dealing with these circumstances don't always know how to help.
In the beginning of my son's substance abuse I didn't know much about addiction. I felt helpless and hopeless when I found out. He was in and out of recovery for 13 years. Substance abuse disorder is a family disease affecting the entire family. I had a breakdown 10 years Into his addiction (2 weeks in the hospital). I found that having a good support group helped me a lot. Unfortunately he could not fight off the demons of addiction and died 4 months after I took early retirement . I did so to spend more time with him because I didnt know how long he would be with us. The BIGGEST LOSS OF MY LIFE. HEARTBROKEN FOREVER.
Keep the songs 🎵 coming love this song 🎵 ❤
My son has been in a rage of addiction for 4 years and I am broken. But I have to go on for the others. Praying for all us moms and dads and family and friends affects of watching our loved ones, hurting themselves ❤
@Michelle-iw6diFjB. I am sorry for what is happening in your life. Addiction is a family disorder destroying all in its path. Im a father who lost my son Evan to a Fent OD, the biggest loss of my life.I never gave up on him, took him to meetings,countless different rehabs, drug court, .. He spent time in jail, and I thought that would be his wake-up call ( it wasn't). PLEASE GET SUPPORT IT HELPS!!! You are strong! Do what it takes to help.Some things to think about: Make sure you and your family are safe. Don't enable him it will do more harm and possibly slow or stop him from recovery. And PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. SENDING STRENGTH ,HOPE, AND COURAGE. If I can help in any way please contact me. I dealt with Evans addiction for 14 years and have first-hand experiences dealing with Substance Use Disorder (addiction), mental health, and loss .I am on UA-cam, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and a podcast on Spotify telling our story and helping others in any way I can.
This song means alot to so many peoples heart & soul. Thank you❤❤
Beautiful ❤
Don't give up we are here for you I love this song. Matt I am here if you need to talk.
I pray for healing 🙏 my daughter has struggled with meth addiction for many years now. I love her so much. May God please heal her. Please pray for my daughter. Thank you sir for sharing your musical talent and story with the world. Blessings 🙏❤️
My heart goes out to you. It is so difficult to watch your child struggle and be in so much pain. The feeling of helplessness and hopelessness hit me hard when I found my son Evan was using H. His life spun out of control and finally lost his battle with addiction. He died from a fent od. The greatest loss of my life.
@@Fentanylbethechange I'm very sorry for your loss sir🙏💔
@@Indianalady2007 Thank you
@@Fentanylbethechange I love your music. Very healing and helpful 🙏❤️
Matt,u have really touched my Soul with this Song 💔 I Pray that u get through all the Pain that I just now felt.....ur a Precious Soul & I do appreciate ur talent ....thank u from my Heart to urs 🙏❤️🙏
Got the chills.🙏♥️😇GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.
Just keep talking to everyone maybe you can save more lives. I have e some kids on that and been try to tell them to leave that mess in the middle and I would take them to the shore. Great voice and song. Keep it up Matt.
I understand that the song resonates with people who are dealing with addicts but the line that truly hits home for the rest of us is the "you don't give a ***k about me". It doesn't apply. Addicts still love and care about people in their lives, they just prioritize the drug or alcohol.
@anonymous6180 I agree with you 100% I feel that expression was used to relay the extreme of frustration, anger,helplessness, and hopelessness associated with Substance Use Disorder. Anyway that's my take.
Beautiful song and beautiful eyes!
Yes save yourself!❤
❤
KEEP PREACHING FOR GOD. 😊
Beautifully Heartfelt Music Thank You❤
❤ STRONG WORDS!!!
This reminds me of my baby sister who is 17 years younger than me she has a bad drug addiction due to our parents caring more about themselves than they ever did about us and now im the only one who still has faith in her to fight but my family have cut her off i will never give up on her. So to any one fighting addiction know that if you ask for help its the first steps to recovery. And to the families out there please don't give up on them.
@Robert-sg1mi I feel for you and your sister. I am sorry for what you are going through. Substance abuse is a terrible thing to watch a loved one go through. I watched my son Evan go down the path of Substance Use Disorder (addiction). It broke me to watch him destroy his life to H. He was in and out of Recovery for 14 years. 12 different rehabs ,inpatient and outpatient programs, AND I STOOD BY HIM THE WHOLE TIME NEVER GIVING UP ON HIM!!! Praying that things would change, they didn't. 4 months after I took early retirement to spend more time with him ( because I didn't know how long he would be with us) he died from a Fent OD and found by his grandfather. Evan taught me a lot during his short time on earth. Never give up hope. Also, please remember that enabling a person suffering from SUD is never good. Please take care of yourself too. If I can help in any way please contact me. Support is so important for you and her. Sending hope ,strength and courage.
@@Fentanylbethechange it's horrific knowing she is taking that crap into her body I don't drink smoke I won't even take a pain killer. I've lost so many friends to drugs but she is a fighter but coccinellids is a scourge on society. Drugs don't just ruin the person that's taking them it destroys families. Thank you for your kind words ❤
I'm sorry for your loss😢, this song reminds me of my bf he lost his battle of heroin a few yrs ago I wish I never let him out that door that night .
@chris_autumn1550 Sorry for your loss. My son Evan passed from a fent OD. The greatest loss of my life. This song hit me to at my core. I could do only so much for my son. I had to accept his out come wasn't going to be a good one. He had all the tools for recovery.......I had to let go because his addiction started to affect me in a really bad way. Please try not to blame yourself. I know I blamed myself but I did everything I could to save him as I'm sure you did too. Sending courage, strength and hope.
@@Fentanylbethechange I'm sure you did everything you could as well, at that time I was in recovery myself for opiate addiction , his addiction,trying to save him was breaking me , I told him I needed a break from it all 😞that was the last time I saw him he died that night , I'm 8 years in recovery now I wish he wouldn't have left that night , I wish I could have saved him too
@chris_autumn1550 you saved yourself and that is awsome. 8 years is great. Selfcare is so important. sending courage, strength and hope
Love this song…i listen this song over and over very deep words.❤
Wow 🔥
I found this song and I met a man has really helped me I am a fentanyl junkie I've lost to many sorry bout your son. This weekend I decided to stop lieing to myself and my loved ones just got free of hep c . Now I'm detoxing again for the 22 last time thank u
I am so happy to hear your decision. Everything I hear,know or see someone make that crossing to recovery my heart ❤️ is filled with so much hope.I have seen too many friends never make it to where you are now. You are strong 💪 KEEP FIGHTING YOUR WORTH IT. Make yourself a strong support team. Being honest with yourself and others is important. Please DON'T LET SHAME OR GUILT STOP YOU. This disorder DOES NOT DEFINE WHO YOU ARE. Sending you courage, strength and hope in your journey of recovery.
AMEN SOUL BROTHER. 😊❤

Never stop sharing beautiful and inspirational stories Matt, they resonate at depths that are hard to reach, bless you a thousand times ❤
I lost two friends to addiction in my younger days; this hits hard even after 40+ years
@jasmineb7106 I am sorry for your loss. I watched my son go through SUD'S (Substance Use Disorder) for 14 yrs. It was heart breaking to watch. I tried everything to help but ,the outcome was devastating to our family.
This song saved me
Love your songs here love
Beautiful, loved it. Thank you
Love this song, I can relate
Thank you...
This song is deep!! This song is for everyone because we all struggle no matter what the struggle is.
So true. We All face our own Demons. We have to make sure to come out the other side and save ourselves too!
@@Fentanylbethechange so very true. I fought the demon of depression and I fought hard. I came out the other side and I am continuing to keep fighting. I have an awesome support system!!
@@adreamcatcher4u I believe support is so important with any struggle you're going through.
@adreamcatcher4u I, too, fought and still continue to fight depression. It has been a fight since I was 4 yo and experienced a life changing trauma ( 3rd degree burns over 1/4 of my body). I also struggle with ADD, and as a child, you never want to be looked as weird or different. What threw me into major depression was when I found my son was using H. My son Evan died from a fent od 4 months after I retired, the biggest loss of my life. I am slowly recovering from this lifetime of trauma and tragedies. I now have a purpose to not let my sons death be in vain. To tell his story and help others going through the same. Stay strong 💪. Sending courage, strength, and hope.
@@Fentanylbethechange I am so sorry to hear what you have gone through. No parent should ever have to bury their child. You are amazing to tell your sons story and to help others. We need to stay strong and be there for the ones who need help. I almost gave up 1 year and 4 months ago when my 2 1/2 month old granddaughter passed away and I had to help my daughter and son in law plan her funeral. The hard part is being told on her death certificate was that her death was undetermined. She passed away in her sleep so we figure it was SIDS but because she wasn't in her crib it didn't get listed as SIDS. I find it concerning because she passed away 2 weeks after having her 2 months shots at the pediatrician. Thank you for sending me courage, strength and hope!! I am sending them all back to you as well. Thank you for sharing your story with me too.
❤hey Matt, I am Denise from the Netherlands. I just want to say that you make very powerful, beautiful songs. you are very talent full. Please share it everywhere. you have something to give that is very special and straight from your heart, besides the fact that I think you have a beautiful appearance. These songs mean a lot to a lot of people. Follow your heart and continue with these beautiful heart songs. its a gift you have men. much love Denise
God i keep listening to this song i just love it says so much ❤❤
Outstanding 🫶
I am so very touched by your story. Also I am very sorry for the loss of your son! I've had to take a new path to try to avoid what seems to be the case for me. I've got to shut up and shut down though bc I want to live. It's sad what the world has become. I love your style and your purpose. Sending my love to everyone and 😊with all my heart in it. Bless you
Also I lost my husband in March as we had a relapse in our😢 path to recovery. Suicide was what they called it. I know that I'll see him again I just don't want it to be too soon
Thank you, and I'm sorry for your loss. I now speak my sons name and story every chance I get to do everything in my power to help. I will not let my sons passing be in vain.💔💔❤️🩹
❤❤❤
Love this and you and your voice. My type of man.
So so sad , this dad knew there was no more he could do for his SON ... he woke up the drug was winning 😢& he saved him self & probadly others with this Powerful song about love , hoplessness , then God helped him save him self ❤❤❤ BRAVE BEAUTIFUL MAN XXXX
You are so right you have to do you
My husband is an alcoholic addict and narcissist and has been abusive throughout our 26 years together. I finally got up the courage to file for divorce to save myself. I listen to all your songs to stay strong and fight off the manipulation and my feelings to return to the relationship. Leaving an abusive relationship is the hard and I want to gain back myself and safety and enjoy the rest of my life. Your songs and emotional impact they have will keep me strong to make it through.
Just now I love your songs you touch my heart with your songs
Love this song... Listen to I met a man and Nosebleed!!
Sad song love 💕💕 okay thanks you
Your 😇 girl friend
Playing for you love Yes playing 😇
Oooh honey this is so heartbreaking and I relate. Got 2 in my life now I'm trying to save.. so good Brother. I'm so sorry about your son. I'll keep praying 🙏
Thank you. I'm sorry for what is happening in your life. Please make sure you take care of yourself. I tried for 13 years to save my son Evan. Losing my son was the biggest loss of my life. Sending courage, strength and hope. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF OR THEM.
I understand your pain the suffering you had to endure
My deepest apologies
Stay strong, I can tell you are
You music speaks, you're are truly an inspiration
Thank you for sharing this message ❤
💘
So grabbed me this morning this battle is excruciating I’m still trying to see the shore! Where I’m from there’s there’s no true help here! dis judgment, Tours and nightmare, if you don’t have plenty of money then nobody wants to. Help! Beautifier throwing you in a rat hole 30 days later they say you’re free and clean go make something of yourself when reality is str8 back to the beginning till the end! Thank you I just found you 2 songs ago Love your message
This song hit me hard n jad me in tears. I lost my son a little over a year ago from addiction 😢
I am so sorry for your loss.I lost my son Evan's to a Fent OD.I feel this song was written for me and how my sons addiction effected me. I went down a deep dark hole of emotional pain and was lost.I was drowning trying to save him but I had to detach with love and let him go on his own path. Only then i could breath.We are not alone in this journey of loss.Join us and heal.
I am so sorry for your loss. Some songs at a drop of a hat make me cry because sometime they are so meaningful and hit close to home.
Wow woo....😳
This machine don't always get the words right Matt I meant thank God for your beautiful voice and your talent thank you for your heart to reach out ❤️
💕😍😍🎶
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love 💕..Eu sunt din Romania,nu prea știu să scriu engleză,dar foarte interesant căci sufletul meu pricepe tot fără să învățat engleză.. Mi-a înviorat sufletul trist și chinuit în mintea mea confusa, mulțumesc că exiști...
I too lost my 42ys son Jason to fentayal mixed in cocain , 😢 December 6 2021 , so shocking miss him so , took me a year to recover from that awful day he was found in his apt , My first son ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a child at any age is a parents worst nightmare. I lost my son Evan to a fent OD. He was found in his apartment by his grandfather. The greatest loss of my life. Sending courage, strength and hope.
Someone once tried saving me from drowning and said the same words to me about having to let go running out of air it's so strange how I come across this video today if your him or know him please tell him I am sorry for any mental stress I caused him.
Ya I'm there. 😢
I JUST LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I ALMOST LOST MY SON MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO A DRUG OVER DOSE. HAD I NOT BEEN STAYING THE NIGHT WITH HIM HE WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY. GIRL THAT WAS IN HIS ROOM WITH HIM GAVE HIM FETANOL THEN ON HER WAY OUT THE DOOR SHE SAYS YOU BETTER GO CHECK ON YOU'RE SON HE DONT LOOK TILL GOOD. HIS LIPS WERE BLUE ETC, I STARTED GIVING HIM CPR AND CALLED 911. I THANK GOD I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT. 😢
I needed to be happy with my lords 🙏
You are a child of God
Love this😇🙏🙏🩷💜💙
My 7 year old and I 8 years ago, tried to save his Papal from alcoholism, he died and my teen now is all messed up from finding him then, stroked out on the floor😢😢😢😢😢
Im ok!!! I DO GIVE A LOT A PUCKS ABOUT YOU. ❤❤❤❤❤❤STAY IN STRIDE. IM NOT GIVING UP....IM JUST SLOWING DOWN. Thank you My Friend. ❤U
Admin, Then you keep looking at the Mirror and Start Loving Yourself.. Keep doing this, Over n Over.. Don't Give up 🙏
There you go Matt let God use you I don't know what you've been through in your life only God knows all the hurt and the pain that you've been through but now you're letting God use you to help others get through their pain your beautiful soul you're an angel of God keep on but God use you to touch many hearts I'm sure you went through something if you hadn't you wouldn't know no one else is hard or pain you couldn't sing about it you had to go through it yourself but God help you through it and now you can help others thank you Matt for your love for you god-given boys you have a powerful gift keep using it ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢 I was just like that
My son was on the meth. Always on something that makes him mad. Now he is in prison for a long time. I understand completely. I for years trying to get to him. He didn't want help. I had to let him go. That brought me to my knees. Nothing more painful then losing a child. 😢
Sorry for what is happening in your life. Substance abuse disorder affects the entire family. My son Evan spent time in jail. When he was in jail I knew he wasn't using and those were the times I could sleep and not worry. Evan was active on and off for 13 years . The biggest loss of my life.You have to make sure you are taking care of yourself .Sending courage, strength and hope.
Took my son too 😢
So sorry for your loss.
That the hardest decision a person can make is when you love with your soul and heart the best thing you can do is to walk away it so painful but it only way there only one person in that relationship other one is a slave will do what every is called to do 😢
God this song hurts,
I tried to help & kept getused,
THE ONE DAY I WANT YOU TO STAND ON YOUR OWN YOU DIED ON ME,,,,,,I'll never forgive you
So sorry for what you are going through. This song makes me cry everything I hear it. Pease try not to hold on to the anger. I know I did, and it put me into the hospital. Sending courage, strength, and hope.
I like what you are doing just fucking make sure you give credit to the artist because without him I wouldn't be writing this ✊️
I love this song
While I wasn’t particularly close to my brother, he was my rock in my family of origin. I knew I could go to him. He passed away in March while taking a nap. I knew he was down to only drinking scotch everyday but I also found out he had stopped taking his meds like a year beforehand. I guess this was passive suicide. He was just waiting to die. I’m so sad for him. I’m so sad for his family and me. While I don’t know how an addiction feels, I do know what depression is all about. I’ve dug myself out of a hole that was so dark I didn’t know a hole could be so deep and black. I’m hurting right now. I don’t understand why he left.
I am sorry for your loss. Depression can be very life changing. I know it changed my life. Throughout my sons substance abuse my depression got to the point where I admitted myself voluntarily to the hospital. If it wasn't for my wife I don't think I would be here today. I wish I could say that was the lowest I've been but it's not. It was the day we found our son Evan laying on his living room floor not alive. Please get help if you need it. To many people suffer in silence.
My boyfriend died. I think that is all I had. I just don't feel like trying with anyone else.
Be gentle on yourself. Healing takes time. Don't give up. you're worth it. I lost my son Evan to a Fent OD. I still carry this great grief and that's ok I believe it's part of the healing process. I hope and pray that one day I'll start to heal.Sending courage, strength and hope.
PEOPLE CALLING LOVE VERY DIFFERENT. SO SAD
❤🫶💪
