This was the very first acoustic/none-edited video I had seen of SWS. I remember contemplating whether I actually liked Kellin's voice or not and whether I should continue to listen to other acoustics. Back then I never knew that they would be the reason I'm still sitting here. The reason I can force a smile onto my face. The reason I fall asleep a bit easier. And the reason I see a future. Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Black Veil Brides, Of Mice & Men, Bring Me The Horizon, All Time Low, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, Falling In Reverse, My Chemical Romance and Twenty One Pilots are the people that have stopped me from killing myself so many times.
***** first of all, thank you for not being a judgemental fuck and saying music can't save people. Okay well it's kind of a long story as to how it saved me. But keeping the back story short, I was depressed and self harming with suicidal thoughts for about 2 years and always hated 'screamo' music. About a year and a half a go I decided to look up someone because my best friend was into all that music. I came across 'King For A Day ~ Pierce The Veil'. 10 seconds into it I flipped and turned my iPad off because the sound of screaming was absolutely terrible. I remember telling my friend that she had weird hearing if she could handle the screaming, I was being a total bitch and bagging her out for having such crappy taste in music. A couple of weeks later I decided I actually wanted to listen to to more of their stuff because I was in the mood to criticize people. After listening to Bulletprood Love, I kinda liked their less heavy stuff. I then came across Sleeping With Sirens and also liked their less heavy stuff. Soon I was downloading all their clean vocaled stuff. A couple of months later I forgotten about them and gone back to One Direction. My depression, self harmed and suicidal thoughts getting worse. I decided to look up some other bands and came across SWS again. After listening to some of the heavier stuff I realized I could actually relate. After that, I became pretty much 'obsessed' with them and PTV, BVB etc. that's when everything started. As I listened more and more to the heavier stuff, the more I understood it and related to it. Eventually finding comfort in it. It consumed my life and that became the only thing making me happy. I would listen to songs such as 'Hold On Till May' or 'A Match Into Water' and I would feel instantly calmed and not as suicidal I guess you could say. Oh god this is turning out longer than I expected I'm sorry! But anyways, it still wasn't enough to stop me from self harming. But it was enough to stop me from killing myself. Every time I'd get close to it, I'd listen to the music and it would give me hope. All I could think of was hoping that one day I could meet them and tell them how much they mean to me. That's what kept me holding on. Then, just recently I came across a picture that showed Vic's supposed scars. (I hardcore fan girl so I know all their backstorys and stuff xD) but it made me cry because I kept thinking, how could someone like him do that to him self? Yeah I know he was younger and didn't know he would be where he is now but still. He had so much going for him. He was an amazing person. Why? And then something clicked in me. I realized that everything I said about him and felt about him self harming is how everyone else feels about me. I wish I could have been there to stop him harming himself and it occurred to me that that is what everyone around me is trying to do for me. And in that moment, I realized that I didn't want to harm myself anymore. I didn't want to hurt anyone around me anymore. I wanted to be as strong as Vic & so many other band members have been. I flushed my blades and realized that I didn't want to feel depressed or anything anymore. I wanted to get better, I wanted to make myself get better. So I guess in a way music doesn't really save lives. Band members do. The lyrics do. The support from the band members and knowing that they went through it and now are where they are gives us hope I guess. And the lyrics just let us know we aren't alone so it's comforting. I'm not sure if this made any sense. All I know is I just told my life story to someone who probably doesn't even care just to answer a question that probably could have been answered faster 😂 I'm so sorry.
My boyfriend showed me Sleeping With Sirens like 3 days ago. Now I love them, and I can't stop listening to this song. Keep up the good work Sleeping With Sirens. I love how the music is like "F you!" Then they have good meaningful songs, like this song.
Someone asked me what music I listened to the other day and I told them a few names including sleeping with sirens. I showed them a song and they looked at me and said "this is shit, how do you even find this music it's so fucking crap" and I walked away from this person. This "music" that I listened to has kept me alive sounds cheesy and cliché but it's so true if I hadn't of stumbled upon this music 4 years ago I would not be sitting her writing this right now. This band and so many more have done so much for my fucking life.
when I heard "If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn" for the first time some years ago...that was when i decided to join the fanbase of Sws. A decicion I will never in my entire life regret. I know the guys wont read this, but... dear Sleeping with Sirens, I could never thank you enough. No words in the world describes how grateful i am, but thanks for exicting, you guys have helped me through so much. You brought me back to life. Sincerly me, forever a faithful fan and supportert.
Does anyone else remember when he sang this for a video in 2010 with a different guitar player? You can hear how much he's progressed and its absolutely beautiful
I love how Kellin says "cool" at the end like he didn't just make a billion people fall in love with that song

***** thank you ^.^
Sharley-Noèl Norris Me too !
+Im Emo But In A Gerard Way (Sharley) They're amazing live!!!! Sometimes it's better than the studio version. Crazy right? Especially for a band.
same
pure talent he sounds exactly how he does on the recorded version
Jesse... we miss you
The faces he's making are so cute. And funny!! I love this song so much xoxo
His voice is perfect.. and his facial expressions! ^-^
i'm seeing sleeping with sirens in june and i am crying rn. CAN YOU BELIEVE A PERSON WITH SUCH A BREATHTAKING VOICE EXISTS
i'm crying, this song is so beautiful
Kellin still looks hot making weird faces c:
you can tell by his facial expressions when he sings that he feels every note that he sings and that's a sign of a true musician! :)
this makes me happy, I used to listen to it years ago
Sabina V. Ikr the Teenage Nostalgia Lol
I love how his voice can go so high, even higher than mine omg ❤
Is it just me or do like just LOVEEEEE ALL the faces he makes when he sings?! ESPECIALLY on high notes??
Yess it's extremely cute
I'm singing this at my dads wedding
I would sing this at my sisters wedding Jesseca BVB
It is the most beautiful song I have ever heard
My boyfriend showed me Sleeping With Sirens like 3 days ago. Now I love them, and I can't stop listening to this song. Keep up the good work Sleeping With Sirens. I love how the music is like "F you!" Then they have good meaningful songs, like this song.
in my opinion people overrate singing as a talent, but kellin is REALLY good, his voice is like made for it
I miss Jesse so much, the band is not the same without him btw Kellin's face while he sings is life.
Agreed
Jesse's guitar in this was amazing, i miss him so much. The band will never be the same without him.
Yea why did he leave anyways
He said it was for him to focus on his family and his "new musical ventures".
OH WOW. 😒😧
Someone asked me what music I listened to the other day and I told them a few names including sleeping with sirens. I showed them a song and they looked at me and said "this is shit, how do you even find this music it's so fucking crap" and I walked away from this person.

sameeeeeee
This will always be my favourite video on youtube.
I love how much he gets into his songs when he sings... He has a lot of dedication
His vocal registry is so perfect *-*
his voice is very unique!! i love it!
Man, I live for Kellin's facial expressions when trying to hit a high note💕
You've got a point there. The distinctive qualities of a singer are much easier to find and appreciate in a singer than, say, a guitar player.
Aww. I love em so much 💞 and this song is perfect 😻😻😻
Kellin's vocals are ON POINT
His voice is pure perfection, and the guitar playing is just amazing. I love this band so much.
The way he says "stay."
The guitar playing oh my god
Kellin's voice brings me to life again.
Kellin why are you soooo beautifuuuulll, ugh so glad I saw you live in Lubbock
when I heard "If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn" for the first time some years ago...that was when i decided to join the fanbase of Sws. A decicion I will never in my entire life regret.
I know the guys wont read this, but...
dear Sleeping with Sirens, I could never thank you enough. No words in the world describes how grateful i am, but thanks for exicting, you guys have helped me through so much. You brought me back to life. Sincerly me, forever a faithful fan and supportert.
Everything about this band and all of its existence is my #1 aesthetic
I love that Song just as much as in 2012^^ x
this will always be my fave "your forever is all that I need"
that expression every time he sing..priceless
Am I the only one that wants to see a video like this, but with Vic playing the guitar? Because that would probably make my life.
This is the biggest throwback of my 2019
I really love these guys.. and Kellin, your voice is amazing!
this song never gets old .. ;)
I miss Jesse! I want to cry seeing him in videos beside Kellin, playing guitar! :(((
