    KSE lyrics have gotten me so much closer to Jesus Christ and has given me hope.

    This channel is INCREDIBLY underrated and powerful! And I've been a huge fan of Jessie since the early days of KSE. Much love and support!

    Jesse Leach of Papa Roach? Might want to fix that.
    Mad respect for Jesse to open up and get the help he needs.

    I was so sad when Jesse left KSE, but I was happy he left to better himself. Howard coming onboard was solid! and it gave Jesse time to heal and now he is back where he started in KSE doing what he loves in a healthier state of mind! God bless you dude!

    This guy is an inspiration. I can relate to every word. Glad he sought out some help, but there will always be hard days and you have to be prepared to white knuckle it sometimes. Stay strong man.

    This man has inspired me to not give up and give in to my thoughts of suicide and end my existence and to not get back on drugs,I’ve been clean for over two years now and it’s a war that I fight inside my head every single day but I’m doin it,some days are easier than others but some are brutal. But I never will give up and give in to those superficial bullshit “needs”

    Thanks Jesse! Your lyrics really help alot of people and you are making a difference with your art! The other day I was out with my son and he left to go home and when I came back I told him I felt alone out there. He was like dad there where people everywhere, I was like yeah but I was still alone. I try to always count my blessings and be greatful for the very breath I breathe. I try to wake up and consider each new day like an empty canves for me I just have to add my story and art to the beautiful landscape that God sketches out everyday. Depression is rough and like Jesse is saying don't be afraid to be honest about how you feel it could save lives including yours. Killswitch Engage is like a friend that helps me acknowledge the beauty that can be hiding within the pain like the resolve of a provoking thought that only makes since when added with the chaos that provoked it. Love you Jesse! you are not alone and you help me realize in this disconnected world that I'm not either. I'm part of a story that only makes since if you read it and have empathy for the author.

    I don't think people without experience with mental illness or depression can understand how brave it is to talk about those things openly. Jesse is doing amazing job to speak up ❤❤❤

    WOW. Stumbling on this channel at this very second can't be dumb luck or coincidence. Ive struggled with depression and addiction since childhood. Started smoking pot and drinking at 10 years old. Life has been one long, dark rollercoaster with alot of highs and many more lows. I have suicidal thoughts constantly. Always seeing myself as "not good enough" or " a piece of shit.." Had a horriible wreck in 2007 and have done nothing but waste my second chance. Just had an episode yesterday. Thoughts of suicide consumed my mind. I call myself chicken shit because as bad as ive wanted to stop this heartache, ive been too scared to pull the trigger.

      I don't believe in coincidences brother. Hold strong, hold fast. Believe you have a purpose, believe your story can change others, the tunnel is long, but the light awaits all who can endure the trek. I believe in you, I've never met you but I walk along side you with love and belief your life is worth living. Be the light you seek brother, reach out for help, you are never alone. All love.

    Thank you for choosing to live Jesse. I had a handful of 20 sleeping pills I was going to stuff into my throat, and the only thing that stopped me was having tickets to see Killswitch Engage a couple months later. I decided to make it to the show, and I'm still here. We all love you and are here for you.

    Thanks that you dont give up Jesse. Your Bands songs saved me countless times, and i rly mean that.
    I did alrdy write a letter too and was close to end, had no friends was total isolated. Im now working my way out of it, but i dont lie its really hard and i often fall back some stairs even though i recognized something in my deepest inside is changing a bit.

    Watching this made me so sad because I relate so much cuz it’s so hard to go to for example a band mate and be like “I’m not okay right now” you have to be super brave and strong to say something like that and I can’t push myself to do that

  • @taylorwyatt333
    @taylorwyatt333 5 років тому

    I feel like you are describing me, the pain, the struggle is real, my depression and thoughts of suicide is something most of my friends would be shocked to hear because I'm so good at hiding it, pushing it aside

    Jacoby Shaddix is the best Killswitch Engage vocalist
    Edit: I left this comment here four years ago because of a typo that was in the description (which had been fixed already), and wanted to make a dumb joke about it.
    I came back to this video recently because I'm going through some really hard times right now, and wanted to revisit the encouraging words of one of my favourite vocalists. KSE is a band that had carried me through my high school years, and continues to do so well into what is now the first quarter of my life so far.

    Ehhh, I'm honestly kinda torn on this. I love Jesse & Killswitch Engage/Times of Grace.......but Jesse made some rather disparaging remarks about Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying after he was arrested for attempting to hire someone to kill his wife. Thankfully nobody got hurt, but Jesse publicly made claims to "Not even know him" and verbally berated his actions(instead of offering support after or even better BEFORE Tim's actions went awry).
    AILD and KSE has toured together frequently, Adam D has produced THREE of Tim's albums and Tim & Nick can clearly be seen in one of Time Of Graces live videos standing behind the monitors not 10 feet away from Jesse, but he claims "not to know Tim"?! Whatever.
    Now to hear Jesse talking about ending a human life(by his OWN hands) is kind of offputting considering the superiority complex he has always displayed. Man, I hope he continues to grow as a man, correct his wrongs and appreciate the dream life he gets to experience. Its the little things, you know, a healthy tasty meal, a hug from your kids, a walk with your dog, feeling the wind on you face on a sunny day. His words and music mean a lot to many people and I'd love to see him put this childish attitude behind him a have strength of the mind(pun intended).
