I found their bio: Lead Vocalist Jake Segura grew up in a small town where his taste in music was not appreciated, so he never pursued songwriting seriously as a teenager. He became further discouraged from the industry after being kicked out his first band because of his lack of vocal ability. As a college student, he began to struggle with manic depression, anxiety, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. After spending days in bed at a time and flunking out of school, he found himself too afraid to ask for help for fear of the judgement of others. In November of 2015, he attempted suicide. Segura penned the lyrics to Let It Burn on a napkin from his hospital bed, a song that would be released on the band’s debut E.P. Caroline. That experience gave him the drive to finally take his pursuit of music seriously with a strong desire to write music that would help combat mental illness stigma and help others struggling to know they are not alone. The band name Citizen Soldier is the band’s attempt to personify the battles waged inside and the band’s goal to shine a light on the everyday struggles of those who feel overlooked and unappreciated.
I started laughing when he said “this might be the shittiest gift in the world, but if you’ve got nothing you got me” thats so funny but also really sweet man. Ive been listening to your reactions for a while but I forgot to watch your video with limit so that led me here
You got it bro ! Exactly for the reason that this song prevent suicide, that's why this one is my favourite song if all time ! 🔥🥀 It was the first song I've listen by them, this was the beginning of a journey I won't forget ! Your reaction was overwhelming bro, keep going and make the best what you can do in your life ! 💜;
This is my favourite CS song for all the reason you said. I believe the lead singer wrote it in hospital after a suicide attempt. It was their first single, hence the lack of video I assume. It's kind of their whole mission statement. Caroline was also a true story based on a friend of his who killed herself I believe, hence the more sad ending to that one and more positive ending to this one.
Heavy recommendations: Unbreakable Mess of me Never good enough If these scars could speak Emotional recommendations (if you're feeling it): Would anyone care I'm not okay Always December Weight of the world But tbh all their songs are amazing so anything you pick will be great
