    I gave it my all ... 25 years of marriage, struggled to pay 4 years of college for my daughter, had a series of 3 heart surgeries and lost my career due to illness ... just to find out this week that my wife has decided to move out with my 21 year old daughter and start a new life without me ... I sit alone, empty, lost ... I find this song on youtube and well ... I never knew a human could suffer as much loss as I have in one lifetime and still draw breath ... thanks for the song, I needed the cry

      Yes. I just found this video today even though Imagine Dragons is my favorite group of all. Yet, I'd never heard this song or seen this video. I'm pretty certain that I know the reason for Aja and Dan's split and knowing only makes it more painful. I love them both and their family so much. Walking The Wire music video is another painful one to watch. My favorite song is Children Of The Sky - much more uplifting.

    This is my first time watching the video- and it broke me. I've been a big fan of theirs for years and recently went to see them live. This song was played acoustically. The amount of power in his voice while singing this song made me remember how much I loved it. In the concert he was directing the song to all of us, gesturing to the crowd during the bridge "thank you, for taking a chance on me". It was an incredible experience.
    To think this song came out right before Dan's marriage was about to collapse. And just looking back to how Aja and Dan were able to come back together and rebuild their love and relationship- this song becomes even more impactful. It is like a testament to how far they've come, through good and bad. This is such an incredible song. It conveys love through actions, and doesn't have to say "I love you" once. Because at the end of the day, being next to the person you love despite all your and their flaws speaks louder.

    This song hits me hard. All throughout elementary and middle school, I had to survive alone. I had no one. People didn’t like me. In 6th grade in middle school, I tried to end myself. I never came up with a plan. I just wanted to do it. But after a lot of talking with my counselor and my parents, I made the choice of being alive. Now that I’m in high school, I find life amazing. But most importantly, people are amazing.

May we never be the cause of someone else’s sorrow for our loss, lest it be the hour appointed by God for our natural homecoming. Keep walking, keep going, and may your good memories outweigh your bad. May you continue to be good news for others and a light 💡 unto for the path of others who would like you…choose life! 🎉❤

      You and they did the right thing, you talked to eachother, you listened to each other & somewhere in the middle of that, I'm sure some relief was found, some hope to keep on going, some faith that those years were only a temporary part of your life.
      An important thing to always remember is; that there will always be 'helpers' nearby in our journey through life, there will be those who are able to teach us something we need to know right then & there will be those who've been through what we're going through & we can learn what we should do, or read, or listen to, or say & what NOT to do, say or read through their stories of their experiences, but in order to learn or for others to know what they could tell us that can help us that requires us to be communicatng to them how we really are feeling.
      The 2nd thing to remember is; A bad day, bad week, or a bad year even, does not mean your whole life is bad, or that it will all be bad or feel bad. Everyone has really crappy days, weeks, years even, for all kinds of reasons but the sun will shine again, what goes up must come down and vice versa. So always hang on to see what tomorrow brings.

  • @stepheneastern7661

    This song really makes me cry because the lyrics are perfectly matched with my parents' situation. I have a horrible dad, he never does anything harmful to my mom physically, but he always breaks my mom's heart over and over again. And the saddest part is my mom still stands next to him right to this day. My dad cheated on my mom again and again, with different women, and then my mom found out that my dad married another woman who is my mom's brother's ex-wife while she was still my mom's sister-in-law and in results ruining my mom's relationship with her brother and her niece and nephews for still standing next to my dad, but my mom still forgave him and still stands next to him for the sake of us her children. For all of you who reads this, I hope you'll be the best person your partner/spouse has ever had in his/her life. Be kind, caring, and loving to each other.
    Edited: thank you all for you thoughts and prayers. We're all okay now. My dad passed away in May, 2021 and we found out that he had an illegitimate daughter with another married woman without the knowing of that woman's husband. Well, that's their sins now. We're so relieved that it's finally over and we don't have to put up to this sh*t ever again. My mom finally can move forward with her life and maybe finding new love. And hopefully you guys also get the best partners in love.

  • @aarong6132
    @aarong6132 6 років тому +915

    My interpretation of the video:
    Reynold's wife has left him. He goes to sell his ring, but ends up killing the pawn shop worker. While in prison, he fantasizes about a life without mistakes.
    The theme of oranges comes up a couple times, and oranges can be a symbol of marriage, love, and maturity. You see these sequences in Reynold's fantasies, where he and his wife are together and they are happy and he is free. He's been pardoned, he had good behavior, and his wife is always there for him. He's wearing his wedding ring in these parts, as well, and you see themes of traveling back home, a pardon ing letter, a boy with leg braces and crutches walking through the citrus fields, and warm days.
    These are intercepted by misty tunnels, letters of the death penalty, his wife crying, and Reynolds smashing things up in his holding cell. The scene is terminated with Reynold stretched out in the chair, ready for lethal injection, his wife looking in and crying surrounded by the priest and his family. In between his fantasies Reynold has to face reality; his wife doesn't love him, he's committed a murder of an innocent man, and he's about to die. I believe the misty tunnel that he walks through is him accepting his death - he doesn't struggle in the chair as he did in the cell. He's calm, looking at his crying wife, understanding he can't undo his mistakes and that he has failed his wife for the last time.
    The phrases on the wall read, "We're all guilty yet we're all loved", "Hold me", "Touch me let me know I'm alive". During the last anger sequences, Reynold is wiping the words off of the wall. Aja doesn't love him anymore - he's guilty, but he's not loved. Aja doesn't touch him in the last scene - they're separated by glass and his failures. He's alone, untouched, and soon will not be alive.
    His fantasies, though, are with him to the end. There he can be happy and free and in love with his wife. He picks up the child that's fallen, he tastes the orange, he kisses his wife. And then he dies.

    Lyrics:
    Something about the way that you
    Walked into my living room
    Casually and confident
    Lookin' at the mess I am
    But still you, still you want me
    Stress lines and cigarettes
    Politics and deficits
    Late bills and overages
    Screamin' and hollerin'
    But still you, still you want me
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me
    There's something about the way that you
    Always see the pretty view
    Overlook the blooded mess
    Always lookin' effortless
    And still you, still you want me
    I got no innocence
    Faith ain't no privilege
    I am a deck of cards
    Vice or a game of hearts
    And still you, still you want me
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me
    So thank you
    For taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    So thank you
    For taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    Oh, I always let you down (I always let you down)
    You're shattered on the ground (shattered on the ground)
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do (stupid things I do)
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me (next to me)

I watch this and I pick up on new little “Easter eggs” all the time, such as his wife’s broken china in the field, the writings on his cell wall, the dead girl in the field singing in the choir… it’s all so beautiful. I also really appreciate the lyrics and that he had his real wife in the video. Love this band!

    • @janie3117
      @janie3117 9 місяців тому

      @@miashockley9921, it’s actually spiritual, as all their songs are. He rejected God. God gives the free gift of Life to anyone who believes. When you hear the True gospel, and you believe it you get the Spirit of God dwelling in you. God Is Love. But if you hear the True gospel, and you reject it, ( that’s called blaspheming the Holy Spirit), then you have rejected Love. Light., warmth, Truth. And you are cast out into darkness. Everyone is given the opportunity to believe. But pride in oneself blinds the mind to God. And the person that’s blinded, he closes his ears to the Truth, thinking he doesn’t need God. But when that Door closes, the person realizes their mistake, but it’s too late. The Door is closed. They have chosen the darkness over Light, and they’re lonely.
      I believe this song is his feelings of being rejected. And the end of the song might be about his realization that God was always there next to him, but he was the one that did wrong. And he is dead. That’s my take on it, because the Bible talks about how God stretches out his arms all day long “ and ye would not”. The unfortunate part is that the “ god of this world has blinded the minds of them” and they cannot see the Truth until they are shut out of the kingdom of heaven. :(
      God is the Kingdom. God is LOVE. If you do not have God, you do not have these things. Their hearts become darkened. So please believe the gospel!
      John 4:24- God is A Spirit And they that worship Him Must Worship Him In Spirit And In Truth.
      1Tim 1:17- Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, INVISIBLE, the ONLY Wise God…
      1Tim 2:5- THERE IS ONE GOD and One Mediator between GOD and men, the Man Christ Jesus.
      2Cor 5:19- GOD WAS IN Christ reconciling the world unto Himself…
      Col 2:9- For IN him dwelleth All the Fulness of the Godhead bodily
      Mediator =2 beings
      Man ( Flesh)-Jesus
      GOD(SPIRIT) JESUS
      God came fashioned as a man, but God is Not flesh.
      Jesus died for the sins of the world ( God can’t die), was buried, and on the 3rd day GOD RAISED him from the dead according to the scriptures
      If we believe this, we get the Selfsame Spirit In us!
      1Cor 3:16- Know ye not that ye are the temple of GOD and that the Spirit of GOD dwelleth In you?
      Please believe and be Free! Let the Light of the Gospel shine In your heart. Feel the Love of God. It is LIFE Eternal!!! ☀️ 🌳

    My interpretation of the song is this:
    Aja leaves him because of his myriad of problems including cheating. He makes a rash decision after reading her letter and goes to sell his ring, the clerk basically tells him that it isn't worth anywhere near what his love to her meant and he realizes this. Then decides that he wants to take his anger out on someone and decides to rob this guy who pissed him off. Obviously, that leads to him killing the clerk and getting caught.
    From here he spends his time on death row reminiscing on how different his life could have been with Aja and dreams up a perfect scenario where he is released,returns to her, and she still loves him. While on death row all he can think about is her and all chances he had to make things better and begins to slowly go crazy.
    Then before his execution he thinks back on all the people he has hurt and how he could have made it right. Then he sends the letter to Aja as a final sign that he can admit he screwed up and it is all his fault and asks to see her one last time while he is put to death. While being prepared for the lethal injection his life flashes before his eyes as he thinks back on his childhood and all the things that made him innocent to come to peace with what he did and ultimately accepts death.
    Brilliantly told story and I absolutely love this song, thank you for this gift Dan, Mark, Imagine Dragons, and everyone who helped put this together. It was fantastic!

    It doesn't matter how many times I see this video, hear this song, nor how much time goes, by my feelings about it are still the same. I wrote a comment about this 3 years ago and it still rings true. This is amazing, its epic, it is beautiful and its heart shatteringly sad and it resonates so deeply within me. I cry, each and every time. Undoubtedly my favourite song and music video of all time. Thank you so much Imagine Dragons for creating not only this video but also the incredible song and message behind it.

      I think, in both of the versions, is Yebba aka Abbey Smith.

    Took my breath away. The tender heart breaks so wanting to love. Walks miles alone, and there it is. The light he's been walking towards all along. Many blessings.

    Dang. That was beautiful. I love it when music videos add an extra element to the music. Now this song will have another, equally beautiful, meaning to me. Thank you Imagine Dragons.

    I love this song, yet this is the first time I had seen the mv. Crazy how things happened between this vid and today in 2023. We've all suffered yet I can't help but feel like something good is going to happen. Just keep fate everyone. Hope may be slim but it never dies

    When you’re happy, You enjoy music. When you’re sad, you understand the lyrics. This is the kind of song in which we understand the lyrics.
