two years ago my teacher ripped my headphones off me when I wasn't 'paying attention', the whole class looked at me and then there was this one girl who was like "is that Memphis May Fire?" and that's how I met my best friend xD
This is probably one of the most positive, powerful, influential, message sending, Christ like bands in metal. MMF and Matty have probably saved thousands of lives through his music and through his relationship with God. All I can say is a lot of people look up to Matty. Keep up the work. Amazing music, great messages and outrageous talents.
True story ive been listening to mmf and for today and i honestly feel more connected to god then ive ever been. These guys influence is taking them in such a positive direction. Its outstanding.
xlujanx I look up to Matty, and I love MMF, but don't give any of his credit to God, or Matties relationship with him, come on. It's all Matty and the rest of MMF, they deserve the credit for themselves.
The first time I listened to this song I cried my eyes out. I seriously felt like this song was written for me. Finally a song I feel like I can relate to completely.
For all of you saying they have gone downhill since The Hollow...sorry but they haven't. They have some of the realist and most relatable lyrics I have ever heard and that's what makes them the best. Is this better than The Hollow? Not quite but its still pretty damn good.
I love the message of this video, no matter how 'generic and overused' someone may think it is. The image showing the buildings collapsing shows that depression can feel like your world is falling apart but in the end how her dad saw her and hugged her shows that there's someone who cares about you and that it's going to be okay. love it.
I love this song but I listened to the acoustic version first and his voice was so sweet and amazing I was slightly surprised to hear the original version. It fits the lyrics well though, I really love both versions
Just because she's attractive, doesn't mean she wouldn't feel bad about herself or feel lonely. I feel this way a lot. It's called depression people. You can be in a room surrounded by people and feel like you're alone. Feeling like they are on the other side of a glass wall, and you're by yourself.
The song is about society not seeing people as beautiful because of their surface flaws about being beautiful on the inside having a girl who is attractive outwardly kinda goes against the point.
Destiny, you have a beautiful face. And a beautiful name. Yes, I'm a complete stranger. You can follow my story of reaching past rejection, and loving the rejected at facebook.com/thegemshellinitiative or thegemshellinitiative.blogspot.com. God doesn't make mistakes, He makes people. You were never a mistake. Rejection is just a hurdle to jump. God made you strong enough to get over it. :D
as someone who struggled with depression, anxiety and self injury for 5 years this song really hits home. the lyrics combined with the shots of her frozen in time really make me tear up. thinking about what it felt like back then. losing several peers to suicide didn't help, thinking i could just do it too and be done with it all. everyone deserves a helping hand, because you don't know what they could be going through
I've been here. I've been in this girl's position. I know that pain, I know that struggle. Because of bands like Memphis May Fire, I beat it. I got out of that. I've seen this band live, and they played this song at the show I went to. I've never been to a more positive show in my life. I've seen Christian artists before, but this...this blows them out of the water because odds are, they've never been depressed. They've never been suicidal. I love what Matty Mullins and his wife, Brittany, are doing. She has am organization called Beneath The Skin, and if you ever need someone to talk to, contact them. They're amazing people.
watching this makes me thankful i never went through this even though I've seen others go through it so i pray for all those that struggle with self harm or know people who do
this song makes me cry everytime, I am a recovered self harmer, my boyfriend of 3 years holds big responsibility to that. I thank him every day for helping me get through it and that I am beautiful.. he is the one who told me about this song, even though I love Memphais, he introduced this to me looking at my perspective of things, and it's amazing how much this song relates to what I have been through.. to those girls who are going through self-harm, and loss of self-worth, it does get better, believe me!
I remember listening to this song way long ago when metal like this was prime. I finally found this song that I heard at the end of a Crown The Empire music video
I cried the first time I heard this song... I used to struggle with self injury for almost a decade. I went through a lot of abuse in my early childhood and began to gain weight out of protection and comfort. As a teenager I began to truly hate myself. Kids at school reminded me of a daily basis how ugly I was. My family members made jokes about my weight as well. I felt worthless, disgusting, hideous, unwanted, damaged, and unlovable. I carried that pain with me every second of every day. I ached so bad for someone to reach out to me and want to hold me, love me, desire me. Yet, no one ever saw me as something they wanted to love. Until I met Jesus. I was I was healed of self injury, among other things, when I was 19, that's when I truly surrendered my heart to Jesus. By 'surrender' I mean I literally got onto my knees and said "God, I can't do this on my own anymore, I need YOU!". I bought myself a Bible. This was the first time I ever WANTED to read it. Daily, I read little verses or side notes of my "Joyce Meyer Everyday Life Bible", then it soon began to grow into full chapters, then several chapters daily. Then I read full books of the Bible. I applied the wisdom I drew from the verses od the Bible. when things were hard, when I felt alone, when I had problems that made me feel like I was worthless and better off dead, I would repeat those verses that inspired me. I began to speak to God in my head or out loud when I was alone. Sometimes I even felt like He answered me. Sure enough, since the day I gave Him my heart and began to read His word; I began to change from the inside out. When I was 18 I was almost 300 lbs. I was cutting for so long that they began to get very deep and require stitches. I was smoking pot and cigarettes, drinking hard liquor, piercing all over my face, listening to angry and depressing music, I was mean to other people because I didn't want to give them a chance to reject me. I was so used to being rejected and tossed away I assumed everyone was going to do that. Because if Jesus, because of His love, He healed me and changed me. I quit smoking everything and drinking. I began to eat healthy and exercise and God gave me the strength to have self control and be diligent in my exercise routines. He put me in a position where I had access to healthy foods and the ability to research the things I needed to be successful with my weight-loss. The living situation I was in before didn't allow me access to healthy food or internet whenever I needed. He just made it all work out. A year after I gave Him my heart, He made me a new person. I got rid of all my slipknot, korn, MSI, Manson shirts/CDs/DVDS, posters, etc. I replaced it with positive but heavy Christian tunes. I began to wear brighter colors, I took out my piercings and pulled my hair back, I began to do things to pamper myself (most self injurerers don't because they don't feel worthy of being pampered) Soon enough I was able to walk into a store and buy clothes from the appropriate section for my age. I had never been able to do so since I gained weight quickly at a young age. I went from almost 300 lbs to a muscular, sexy 168. I was doing p90x almost daily. Then I got SICK. like, super sick. in the hospital, on oxygen, unable to walk or speak because my oxygen levels were so low. hair fell out, lumps formed all over my body, on my head, in my lungs, on my ovaries causing painful periods. I cried to God a lot. I lost faith really quick as things became worse and worse. it took 3 years for me to heal. this is the healthiest I have been since I got sick three years ago. I got better once I started reading my Bible again and trusting God. I used to put my faith in the doctors at the hospitals.. but Jesus is the ultimate healer. He changed my heart and healed me inside out. I know Jesus will save anyone who calls upon His name. God bless you all. Keep on Rocking on. c:
+kattri the 3rd she's just sharing her story to inspire others and to let people know that theres always hope. perhaps you dont care, but other people does.
+gosU dude.... i thought people who listen to this genre of music have respect for everyone because of stories like this, but no i guess there are still people like you...
happiness isn't obtainable. happiness is a mindset and prospective. pay attention to the things you enjoy. nature is always a thing to be grateful for. bye ❤
I've just listened this song in the first time in a long time and I got the exact same feeling I got the first time I heard it I love the message in this song it's incredible! :) It's such an amazing song :)
When I listen to this song (a lot) all I can think about is finding a girl that feels this way and showing her that she's special, I love doing that, it's amazing seeing someone like that, only if there was a song for guys like me, wanting a girl to actually care for me, make me feel like I'm special as well (emotional on a scream vid. THE FUCK?)
MMF is the best, not only do they sing about these kind of problems, but they're the nicest guys too. I met them and we hung out for about an hour and Matty hugged me four times. Im so grateful to have them in my life!
I like all different alternative genres including this, although initially i was kinda startled by the screaming, the music, message, and the overall song itself makes me like it, even if its the first time i heard this. I just discovered them and i really like them and what they stand for. :)
This was literally one of the first songs I heard by them after they played at Rockville and it's also how I came back to God after trying to hide for so long. Now they're my favorite band. ♥
Is our generation to blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?! So bring the rain! Are we to cold to numb to to see the life long pain we inflict ?!
So people in the comments are complaining that they "used a pretty girl." Are y'all really assuming that "pretty girls" aren't bullied and getting about as much shit as the rest of us? Some of them are.
RahmiThing I understand that, but "pretty girls" are always represented. I've never seen in my life a 'fat' or 'ugly' girl or boy because yes, we got extra crap to deal with for that. It's hard for me to see stuff like this because all my life, 99% of my problems are because I'm 'fat and ugly', so I have to deal with even more crap to compensate and to be treated as an equal individual.
I don't mean to sound insensitive, but just because the majority of your issues are centered around that doesn't mean the other issues are just as small for everyone else.
RahmiThing I get what you're saying. Everybody deals with everything differently. A similar event between two people can either mean absolutely everything or nothing at all. But if you are 'ugly', you just get an extra layer of issues atop whatever common issues people run into
my friend said this song reminds him of me and i think so too. its kinda sad to have this some relate to yourself but it is true. and i love this song!
Gosh... If a band doesn't seem to change then all the fans complain, and if they do change then all the fans STILL complain! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO DO!?! YOU'RE NOT GIVING THEM ANY OPTIONS!! Bottom line: People complain no matter what, and you can't expect a band to please everyone. Good bands write music that is important to them, as opposed to the pop culture where music is made on a profit basis. It shouldn't matter if they change or not; they know what they're doing, and they do what they want. They do want to utilize their music to strike an impact on people. As long as they accomplish this, what does it matter if you think their style is too different or unchanged? Goodness gracious.
I absolutely love the song. I have since I heard it. But honestly, I felt like the only part of the video that REALLY reflected what the song was about was 3:33. And that's about it.
"Our generation is too blind to see that true beauty lies beneath the skin" I completely agree with this. Our kids are growing up in a generation where smoking pot and being a bully is the cool thing to do and being nice is lame. It sickens me.
Smoking pot has nothing to do with being a bully. Let's just make that clear. I smoke and can say 100% I'm not a bully. Let's not generalize things we know nothing about.
Everyone says this about this "generation". People like you can't handle the ever changing world around them and so you blame an entire generation to explain why the world has changed.
After many years of listening to every genre of music, and appreciating songs for their beauty as well as the skill taken to create specific masterpieces, I finally found a screamo,metal song that I believe is absolutely perfect. The emotion thrown into every word, the instrumentals, the story that is portrayed by every statement/chord is a display of true genius. Even though the meaning of this song has no relevance to my life at this point in time, this song gives me chills throughout my entire body. No matter who you are or what genre of music you listen to, if you do not stop to appreciate this piece of brilliance after your ears get a whiff, I feel that you do not deserve to have the ability to hear. Thank you for this Gentlemen, and keep releasing your incredible stories....
Memphis May Fire are too fucking good. You can feel the passion/heart in every single song cant think of too many other bands that do that. I hope they're gunna be around for many years to come.
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song, I relate to the lyrics in this so much it's scary. I haven't listened to Memphis May Fire very long but they're definitely one of my favorite bands.
Been a fan of these guys since their debut album "The Hollow". Your music makes me fall in love with the world again. More progressive fans need to listen to your music so they can know the definition of the word "good".
Great song, great message and amazing singer! When you hear the clean parts it's hard to believe that he can also scream that good. ❤ Ps. Anyone else notice that Matty's red/orange hair looks really perfect on him?
Just started listening to these guys just two days ago. The result: favorite band. Now im listening to others like of mice and men, sleeping with sirens, peirce the veil, bring me the horizen, blood on the dance floor, amd other greatness. I used to just listen to just linkind park, untill I heard all this music. I dont know why I didnt give it a try before. Anyway, im not emo, I listen to the greatest music every that actually speaks to men and I get what they are saying, its deep. I should probably stop rambling...
I'm not a fan of BOTDF either guys but c'mon if it's what he's into. It's what he's into so better not try and bring him down about it because at the end of the day he's still going to listen to them. and btw Cody... it's Linkin Park*****
For some reason, everytime I hear certain songs from Memphis May Fire I end up crying or have the urge to cry. This is how you know their music touches your soul. MMF always has amazing music, it doesn't matter if it's hard or a slow song. This is my forever band
I have a story from my nation, she called Audrey, she's the victim of bullying, hole of Indonesia'n people support her to be strong, this song is the meaning of her #justiceforaudrey
i say this to the bottom of my heart, any woman or man that is going through problems that inflict their life's, I'm glad you are still here and going strong. 🖤 much love to y'all
I am a huge Memphis May Fire Fan and I really like this song! I was a little disappointed by this video, though. I expected it to have a meaning like most other videos by them but it was just pictures of a girl and the only sign of hope in the end was that guy (probably her dad) hugging her.
People need to stop the hate. Most artist are afraid to come out of their comfort zones.. MMF did great with the song. They are some of the most realist, straight forward lyrics I have heard. Good job guys!
I've been there many times in my past.... I cried out to Jesus and He set me free. The future holds an entire new world for you, everything is going to change someday, for the better. It gets better. Hang in there. :)
I got emotional from listening to this music because when I was 13 I started self harming but now I look back and thought if I didn't stop then I would end up dead or in the hospital
The lyrics for Memphis May Fire's songs just get better and better. Keep it up! This is one of the few bands that still use lyrics that actually mean something rather than those which use lyrics such as, "She got a big booty, so i called her big booty." THANK YOU.
"She knows this is not who she wants to be" I cannot help but hear "We are, we are, we are" from the Satellites/Rise of the Runaways video. I love Rise but it's hard to hear their songs sometimes without hearing those little promos at the end.
two years ago my teacher ripped my headphones off me when I wasn't 'paying attention', the whole class looked at me and then there was this one girl who was like "is that Memphis May Fire?" and that's how I met my best friend xD
nice XD ❤
Cute♥

And now Chris is known ad Mashmello😊

*Slowly claps. *Tear falls down cheek. Man your comment is way to true.
I'm proud to say that I look up to Matty
True story ive been listening to mmf and for today and i honestly feel more connected to god then ive ever been. These guys influence is taking them in such a positive direction. Its outstanding.
Awesome comment bro.
xlujanx I look up to Matty, and I love MMF, but don't give any of his credit to God, or Matties relationship with him, come on. It's all Matty and the rest of MMF, they deserve the credit for themselves.
Matty has the voice of a heavenly angel dude.

THANK YOU.
The Hollow is hands down my favorite album of all time. The lyrics are so real.
KarthaneSucks not all of their lyrics are like this.
I agree
Personally, I think their best release is Sleepwalking. The Hollow was decent. But these past 2 albums have really sucked imo.
9 years later, and this song still meaning a lot these days, happy 9th Anniversary to Unconditional ❤
I love the message of this video, no matter how 'generic and overused' someone may think it is. The image showing the buildings collapsing shows that depression can feel like your world is falling apart but in the end how her dad saw her and hugged her shows that there's someone who cares about you and that it's going to be okay. love it.
The lyrics of this song are so accurate to my life it's scary
I feel the same, tbh..
u ever thought of replacing she with he in the lyrics
james horridge true, true, guy have problems too.
+Begee Mondesir Not as bad as females just my opinion
Guys can have it just as bad, aha. Cassondra Mousseau
2016 and I still play this shit this time with a better mindset
wELL THAT HIT ME IN THE FEELS
+PierceMyChemical SirensInReverse I feel ya
your username hits me in the feels
Man this has helped me out of depression. I love this song. They have changed me.
Me to...I'm forever grateful for the group
I love this song but I listened to the acoustic version first and his voice was so sweet and amazing I was slightly surprised to hear the original version. It fits the lyrics well though, I really love both versions
+Allie Arnold Well, this band is mainly metalcore and post-hardcore, so it's kinda to be expected. I do agree though, they're both amazing
+TheOnlyPupil I am also a fan of metal core so it was actually kinda nice to find a band who has such great music with clean vocals and screaming.
yeah, did you listen to Crown The Empire?
+TheOnlyPupil not really but I've been meaning to. Any specific songs you'd recommend?
Satellites / Rise of the Runaways (sequel to Machines), Bloodline, Machines, Makeshift Chemistry, Prisoners of War
Just because she's attractive, doesn't mean she wouldn't feel bad about herself or feel lonely. I feel this way a lot. It's called depression people. You can be in a room surrounded by people and feel like you're alone. Feeling like they are on the other side of a glass wall, and you're by yourself.
So true i suffer from depression !
The song is about society not seeing people as beautiful because of their surface flaws about being beautiful on the inside having a girl who is attractive outwardly kinda goes against the point.
tylinious i agree
You, ma'am, deserve a medal :)
Destiny, you have a beautiful face. And a beautiful name. Yes, I'm a complete stranger. You can follow my story of reaching past rejection, and loving the rejected at facebook.com/thegemshellinitiative or thegemshellinitiative.blogspot.com. God doesn't make mistakes, He makes people.

All life is precious.
Regardless on how someone looks, anyone can feel that way. Some people don't seem to understand that...
heard them play live today. fucking insane and it changed my life
This is... beautiful.
Exactly "Is our generation too blind to see that true beauty lies beneath the skin?"
I've been here. I've been in this girl's position. I know that pain, I know that struggle. Because of bands like Memphis May Fire, I beat it. I got out of that.

I'm a dad, and I know what MMF has done for so many kids out there. Such great guys and meaningful lyrics.
Yeah, it's hard to live with a trauma. Because no matter what you do, it will never go away.
This song helped through middle school back in the same walls
watching this makes me thankful i never went through this even though I've seen others go through it so i pray for all those that struggle with self harm or know people who do
Can we all agree that Matty is adorable and without him this band just wouldn't function because his vocals are perfection?
i mean the instruments kick ass too i really don't think Matty is a make or break for the band even though his vocals are legendary
I think his writing has gone a bit stale but yeah he's good
this song makes me cry everytime, I am a recovered self harmer, my boyfriend of 3 years holds big responsibility to that. I thank him every day for helping me get through it and that I am beautiful.. he is the one who told me about this song, even though I love Memphais, he introduced this to me looking at my perspective of things, and it's amazing how much this song relates to what I have been through.. to those girls who are going through self-harm, and loss of self-worth, it does get better, believe me!
I love this song.
I remember listening to this song way long ago when metal like this was prime. I finally found this song that I heard at the end of a Crown The Empire music video
I think it's is machines or bloodline mv by cte.
I cried the first time I heard this song...
I used to struggle with self injury for almost a decade.
I went through a lot of abuse in my early childhood and began to gain weight out of protection and comfort.
As a teenager I began to truly hate myself. Kids at school reminded me of a daily basis how ugly I was. My family members made jokes about my weight as well.
I felt worthless, disgusting, hideous, unwanted, damaged, and unlovable. I carried that pain with me every second of every day. I ached so bad for someone to reach out to me and want to hold me, love me, desire me. Yet, no one ever saw me as something they wanted to love.
Until I met Jesus.
I was I was healed of self injury, among other things, when I was 19, that's when I truly surrendered my heart to Jesus. By 'surrender' I mean I literally got onto my knees and said "God, I can't do this on my own anymore, I need YOU!".
I bought myself a Bible. This was the first time I ever WANTED to read it.
Daily, I read little verses or side notes of my "Joyce Meyer Everyday Life Bible", then it soon began to grow into full chapters, then several chapters daily. Then I read full books of the Bible.
I applied the wisdom I drew from the verses od the Bible. when things were hard, when I felt alone, when I had problems that made me feel like I was worthless and better off dead, I would repeat those verses that inspired me.
I began to speak to God in my head or out loud when I was alone. Sometimes I even felt like He answered me.
Sure enough, since the day I gave Him my heart and began to read His word; I began to change from the inside out.
When I was 18 I was almost 300 lbs. I was cutting for so long that they began to get very deep and require stitches. I was smoking pot and cigarettes, drinking hard liquor, piercing all over my face, listening to angry and depressing music, I was mean to other people because I didn't want to give them a chance to reject me. I was so used to being rejected and tossed away I assumed everyone was going to do that.
Because if Jesus, because of His love, He healed me and changed me.
I quit smoking everything and drinking. I began to eat healthy and exercise and God gave me the strength to have self control and be diligent in my exercise routines.
He put me in a position where I had access to healthy foods and the ability to research the things I needed to be successful with my weight-loss. The living situation I was in before didn't allow me access to healthy food or internet whenever I needed.
He just made it all work out.
A year after I gave Him my heart, He made me a new person. I got rid of all my slipknot, korn, MSI, Manson shirts/CDs/DVDS, posters, etc.
I replaced it with positive but heavy Christian tunes.
I began to wear brighter colors, I took out my piercings and pulled my hair back, I began to do things to pamper myself (most self injurerers don't because they don't feel worthy of being pampered)
Soon enough I was able to walk into a store and buy clothes from the appropriate section for my age. I had never been able to do so since I gained weight quickly at a young age.
I went from almost 300 lbs to a muscular, sexy 168. I was doing p90x almost daily.
Then I got SICK. like, super sick. in the hospital, on oxygen, unable to walk or speak because my oxygen levels were so low. hair fell out, lumps formed all over my body, on my head, in my lungs, on my ovaries causing painful periods.
I cried to God a lot. I lost faith really quick as things became worse and worse.
it took 3 years for me to heal. this is the healthiest I have been since I got sick three years ago.
I got better once I started reading my Bible again and trusting God. I used to put my faith in the doctors at the hospitals.. but Jesus is the ultimate healer.
He changed my heart and healed me inside out.
I know Jesus will save anyone who calls upon His name.
God bless you all.
Keep on Rocking on.

Damn, first got onto UA-cam and decided to listen to recommendations and not only did I find Crown The Empire, but found this band as well. Amazing
I like all different alternative genres including this, although initially i was kinda startled by the screaming, the music, message, and the overall song itself makes me like it, even if its the first time i heard this. I just discovered them and i really like them and what they stand for. :)

It's weird that "the answer" didn't do that to you
The video's really bad.. lol.

you describe the old myself very nicely. thank you MMF...
So people in the comments are complaining that they "used a pretty girl." Are y'all really assuming that "pretty girls" aren't bullied and getting about as much shit as the rest of us? Some of them are.

+Kenneth Kanniff Yes, I am. I have no issues with this.

RahmiThing I get what you're saying. Everybody deals with everything differently. A similar event between two people can either mean absolutely everything or nothing at all. But if you are 'ugly', you just get an extra layer of issues atop whatever common issues people run into
Best Song with the best Lyrics on this Album for me. I know that feelings...
I liked the contrast between what is out there and how it is inside of her. Great video! :)
my friend said this song reminds him of me and i think so too. its kinda sad to have this some relate to yourself but it is true. and i love this song!
Gosh... If a band doesn't seem to change then all the fans complain, and if they do change then all the fans STILL complain! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO DO!?! YOU'RE NOT GIVING THEM ANY OPTIONS!! Bottom line: People complain no matter what, and you can't expect a band to please everyone. Good bands write music that is important to them, as opposed to the pop culture where music is made on a profit basis. It shouldn't matter if they change or not; they know what they're doing, and they do what they want. They do want to utilize their music to strike an impact on people. As long as they accomplish this, what does it matter if you think their style is too different or unchanged? Goodness gracious.
Jamie Dunlap I agree! Their new stuff is amazing just like their old stuff! And this song... This is powerful. :)
how_kvlt_of_u UH SAY IT LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK
I absolutely love the song. I have since I heard it. But honestly, I felt like the only part of the video that REALLY reflected what the song was about was 3:33. And that's about it.
"Our generation is too blind to see that true beauty lies beneath the skin" I completely agree with this. Our kids are growing up in a generation where smoking pot and being a bully is the cool thing to do and being nice is lame. It sickens me.
Smoking pot has nothing to do with being a bully. Let's just make that clear. I smoke and can say 100% I'm not a bully. Let's not generalize things we know nothing about.
But smoking weed is not the issue
First of all both of those statements are false and secondly this was 8 years ago so you probably dont even have the same account
Everyone says this about this "generation". People like you can't handle the ever changing world around them and so you blame an entire generation to explain why the world has changed.
I saw them as the opening act to BVB and they were amazing! I would love to see them live again!
After many years of listening to every genre of music, and appreciating songs for their beauty as well as the skill taken to create specific masterpieces, I finally found a screamo,metal song that I believe is absolutely perfect. The emotion thrown into every word, the instrumentals, the story that is portrayed by every statement/chord is a display of true genius. Even though the meaning of this song has no relevance to my life at this point in time, this song gives me chills throughout my entire body. No matter who you are or what genre of music you listen to, if you do not stop to appreciate this piece of brilliance after your ears get a whiff, I feel that you do not deserve to have the ability to hear. Thank you for this Gentlemen, and keep releasing your incredible stories....
Memphis May Fire are too fucking good. You can feel the passion/heart in every single song cant think of too many other bands that do that. I hope they're gunna be around for many years to come.
Crazy to me that people assume because she's hot she couldn't possibly feel alone or rejected. Way to be part of the problem.
Yay it's my favorite from unconditional and it came out on my birthday! Thanks guys great birthday present
I'm definitely getting "is our generation too blind to see that true beauty lies beneath the skin?" Tattooed.
indeed and maybe something below the writting that looks like a gem under a part of upturned skin :)
Same. I love this song so muchhhhh
They have a lot of great quotes for tattoos in their songs.
Chris Tessmer yeah, I helped my friend by giving him one of their quotes to break up with his girlfriend 😂😂😂
indeed it is
I get goosebumps every time I listen to this song, I relate to the lyrics in this so much it's scary. I haven't listened to Memphis May Fire very long but they're definitely one of my favorite bands.
Been a fan of these guys since their debut album "The Hollow". Your music makes me fall in love with the world again. More progressive fans need to listen to your music so they can know the definition of the word "good".
lol kid you have no clue what prog music is
They played this song when I saw them live opening for bvb and I seriously cried. I love this song so much
I saw them play yesterday for bands vs food and it was amazing 🙌🙌🙌🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I hate the fact thatMMF is so underrated, like WHY THEY'RE AMAZING
Shields is incredibly underrated.
They're overrated
Not trying to be out of line, but I’d listen to her any day. She is beautiful!
I'm offended that I can see a dislike button under this video.
Some people don't have hearts
M.M.F. DESERVES TO BE LOOOOOVVED
+D.O. Esquire this is their only good song so yeah I can agree.
+Deth Kiku definitely not lol, no ordinary love, miles away, vices. all good songs
+James Graham don't like any of those
It's just his screams they bother me he sounds like a girl.
ohhh how I love MMF
Great song, great message and amazing singer! When you hear the clean parts it's hard to believe that he can also scream that good. ❤
Ps. Anyone else notice that Matty's red/orange hair looks really perfect on him?
I still come back to this song. Even after all these years it's still needed. And it will help many more in the future
Just started listening to these guys just two days ago. The result: favorite band. Now im listening to others like of mice and men, sleeping with sirens, peirce the veil, bring me the horizen, blood on the dance floor, amd other greatness. I used to just listen to just linkind park, untill I heard all this music. I dont know why I didnt give it a try before. Anyway, im not emo, I listen to the greatest music every that actually speaks to men and I get what they are saying, its deep. I should probably stop rambling...
BODTF...?srsly
Throw away Botdf and replace it with Northlane. :)
I'm not a fan of BOTDF either guys but c'mon if it's what he's into. It's what he's into so better not try and bring him down about it because at the end of the day he's still going to listen to them. and btw Cody... it's Linkin Park*****
For some reason, everytime I hear certain songs from Memphis May Fire I end up crying or have the urge to cry. This is how you know their music touches your soul. MMF always has amazing music, it doesn't matter if it's hard or a slow song. This is my forever band
I just discovered this band. Let me tell you they get real. It ain't sugarcoated. This is a sick band.
Every time I hear this song it makes me cry because it reminds me of how many people out there feel like this...such a powerful song with deep lyrics
This song is amazing
I totally agree with you:)
Eusebio Watson same here
5 years later and i still have no idea how they made this music video
Probably in front of a green screen like blessthefall's hollow bodies mv
Man that's song reach me for sure!!! Menphis may fire are amazing!!! :o
I have a story from my nation, she called Audrey, she's the victim of bullying, hole of Indonesia'n people support her to be strong, this song is the meaning of her
#justiceforaudrey
what is the girls name?? for science reasons
Lolololol
***** Go back to 9gag
+Mattie Moolins Derudesandstorm that is her name
+Deadly Venomous Skateboarding Darudesanstorm Gregory ;)
+Mattie Moolins Darude Sandstorm
i say this to the bottom of my heart, any woman or man that is going through problems that inflict their life's, I'm glad you are still here and going strong. 🖤 much love to y'all
I am a huge Memphis May Fire Fan and I really like this song! I was a little disappointed by this video, though. I expected it to have a meaning like most other videos by them but it was just pictures of a girl and the only sign of hope in the end was that guy (probably her dad) hugging her.
I feel the exact same.
I've never actually listened to Memphis may fire, but I'm glade I chose to check them out :)
This song is awsome.
People need to stop the hate. Most artist are afraid to come out of their comfort zones.. MMF did great with the song. They are some of the most realist, straight forward lyrics I have heard. Good job guys!
This song never stops being right about me
I was just listening to the acoustic version of this now I am back here. The difference in the sound is like WOW but the feels are the same..
♡♡♡ perfect song ever ♡♡♡
I've been there many times in my past.... I cried out to Jesus and He set me free. The future holds an entire new world for you, everything is going to change someday, for the better. It gets better. Hang in there. :)
Uma das minhas favoritas
Honestly, this is my favorite song by MMF. I love this, the lyrics are perfect, and the tone, so good. I love this band.
MEU NOVO AMOR
Syczor Craft post-hardcore é isso mesmo cara, que loucura
Syczor Craft Volta a ouvir seu Justin Bieber
Olha os br
Syczor Craft Você queria mais o que vindo de uma banda de metalcore?
Syczor Craft BANDA DE HOMEM :v
Song brought tears to my eyes thinking about how a parent would feel walking in on their child attempting suicide
probably their most EPIC music video
agree :b
Have you seen 'alone'
My favorite MMF song, hands down!
I got emotional from listening to this music because when I was 13 I started self harming but now I look back and thought if I didn't stop then I would end up dead or in the hospital
How much sympathy is it going to take for you stop bragging about your alleged past?
How much sympathy is it going to take for you stop bragging about your alleged past?
Exoplanets get the fuck out of the comments dude i see you everywhere bashing on these people, fuck off
The lyrics for Memphis May Fire's songs just get better and better. Keep it up! This is one of the few bands that still use lyrics that actually mean something rather than those which use lyrics such as, "She got a big booty, so i called her big booty." THANK YOU.
What if the band is basically beneath her skin and all the tearing in the walls are actually where she cut herself? Just my interpretation.
these song is amazing .... btw that band at 4:40 someone know the name ?
Crown the empire - machines
@@raditiomaulana6704 ty bro
Was anyone else waiting for the walls behind them to explode in an epic manner??
I really wish you guys would come to Rochester. new York. That would be the beast day ever. number 1 favorite band
"She knows this is not who she wants to be" I cannot help but hear "We are, we are, we are" from the Satellites/Rise of the Runaways video. I love Rise but it's hard to hear their songs sometimes without hearing those little promos at the end.
I'm so glad they made a video for this song, it's one of my fav track and so relatable
The lyrics are deep. Damn.
"staring at the scars on her writs, she knows this is not who she wan'ts to be." Love this song.
damn this video is dark. need a flashlight to watch it
I need some blind eyes and some deaf ears to watch this shit...
Brendon stacey You need to quit. That was terrible.
Sorry my joke was only funny if you're over the age of 14 and have matured past such garbage music taste
Brendon stacey I'm 16. And what makes you think I'm gonna "mature" past it lmao
+Admire thanks for not reading the troll!
This is the very first MMF song that I heard! And now I'm obsessed!!
