Its officially three years since I first heard this song. Two years ago, I was suicidal, depressed, and trying to survive all of this without therapy or any form of support. This song was a light in the darkness for me. Last year, I got better, I recovered to a point where I could be alright. I was finally out of the dark. I was okay. I was happy. Everything seemed perfect. Now, this year, I've fallen back, and I'm in desperate need of a light in the dark again. So here I am. This song is my beacon of hope for recovery, and has been for three years now. I know you'll probably never see this, Braden, but thank you for this. Thank you for giving me some hope when I needed it the most.
The second I saw the half skeleton I couldn't help but freeze. This like every other video I've seen from him just makes I hard for me to want to leave... that was awesome!
lyrics for you guys :) If you're afraid of the dark tonight And you can't find the moon Close your eyes and remember that I miss you (That I miss you) If you can't fall asleep tonight No matter what you do Just close your eyes little butterfly I'll catch you (I'll catch you) And when you see the stars begin to crumble Burning as they set the trees on fire And when you feel yourself begin to tremble Don't be afraid to tell your heart that it's alright When the night is dark I am carried by your spark And these days all I think about Is coming home And when I feel afraid I tell myself that I'm OK Because I know you'll be right there When I come home And I won't be alone If you're afraid of yourself tonight And you can't find your wings Close your eyes And remember that it's almost spring If you can't comfort yourself tonight No matter what you do Just close your eyes little butterfly I got you (I got you) And when you see the sky begin to tremble Breaking as it sets the world on fire And when you feel yourself begin to stumble Don't be afraid to tell yourself that it's alright And when the night is dark I am carried by your spark And these days all I think about Is coming home And when I feel afraid I tell myself that I'm OK Because I know you'll be right there When I come home When I feel afraid I tell myself that I'm OK Because I know you'll be right there When I come home
My friend met Braden yesterday and showed him the drawing I did. I'm hoping that on the 13th I can give it to him personally. I doubt Braden will see this, but your a giant inspiration to me and your music is beautiful. You and your music have helped me through a lot, thank you.
This song i can relate to all too much, im depressed, terrified of being alone, broken, social anxiety, i know that if im all alone i will hurt myself, so i try to call with someone or listen to music. You are awesome and i want to give you a hug
i know that this is not just me.. You have literally saved lives. I was cutting, and i almost killed myself.. A friend introduced me to this song, and it has literally saved me. And for that i can not thank you enough.
Nearly cried. 😢 Such a beautiful song and awesome music video! I love your passion for music and talant to write and play, keep it up, we love you!! Stay Cosy!
I had to put my 13 year old lab down yesterday she had over six things that would put her in pain and hurt... I miss her so much this song reminds me of her she was always scared of the world how it was and it hurts... I wish she was home...
Wow... the music video just opened up so many other meanings to the song. I'm very imporessed. Fantastic Job Braden :) I'll see you at Wapred Tour in early August 👍 can't wait to take selfies with you and give you a gift I made for you :)
Can I just tell you how much you've inspired me, so so so much I'm so proud of how far you've come and I hope you continue to make such beautiful music like this. Thank you so much for being inspiring and reminding me that there still is good in the world.
This song reminds me when I was coming home from my trip in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I wonder if Braden's fans from there - would love to do a show in Vancity...
He was just so perfect to see in concert 💕 He was just over a meter away from me and I had a chance to tell him how much his music has done for me and ask him something but I was too scared 😭💕
This song reminds me of when I was at the weirdest point in my life. Some days I was so incredibly happy, but some days I was so depressed I couldn't get out of bed. I get butterflies hearing this again after 2 years.
I love this song so much. Thank you for writing it. You are my inspiration that everything gets better. And to follow my dreams. I love you so much. Thank you for everything.
This song helped me go through a distance relationship. All your songs help me. saywecanfly has always been my favorite. I always been up everytime when you say on instagram that new songs are coming out. I dont sleep till i hear the song. I always have a crush on you. I still do. Love you Branden Barrie.
Thank you for your music, you have inspired me in ways you'll never know and saved me from myself. You're a huge inspiration to my music, all your music is so beautiful and well written. Thank you, you beautiful soul
It was the Lord of the Rings tattoo on his left arm that did it for me. If you get the inscription from the One Ring tattooed on yourself, you can do whatever horrible, sinful things you want to me.
Braden I just want to thank you for being you. You and your music have helped me through so many difficult times in my life. I can not thank you enough. I love you for keeping me alive Braden 💜
It reminded me of a story I wrote where the main character is depressed and the ending is basically the end of the video; car coming towards him but we don't find out if it hits him. In a way it's sad but at the same time it's hopeful because maybe the car stopped...but maybe it didn't. However, that looks like his car so maybe it's symbolising him trying to kill off part of him that he doesn't want anymore - think St. Jimmy in Green Day's American Idiot album (if you know it). The line is "Jimmy died today he blew his brains out into the bay in the states of mind it's my own private suicide", Jimmy is the main characters alter ego who he eventually realises is messing him up so he kills him off. Which brings us back to the point, maybe the end was symbolising the potential death of his self conscious and "worthless" side?
I catch myself smiling every time I listen to your music.. I really apreciate and love the way you do it. Please keep it up. We all love you. I love you. Great song and awesome job
this song is absolutely incredible. With every new song you put out you show your improvement and talent with every strum and every word and vocal chord. I hope to see you this summer on warped tour!
every single one of your songs touches me Braden, like no other artist has been able to do. Its amazing the feeling i get after listening to one of your songs. love it and you, keep working
The song, the storyline, the shots, the lighting - It's all so fantastic! So beautiful, Braden! This is definitely one of my most favourite music videos! I'm so proud of what you have achieved and that all your hard work has paid off beautifully!
Braden, u have so much talent and skills on the art of music and I, we, don't ever want u to quit!!! u r such an amazing person and u inspire so many people, especially when u right music like that!!!!

What
lyrics for you guys :)
If you're afraid of the dark tonight
And you can't find the moon
Close your eyes and remember that I miss you
(That I miss you)
If you can't fall asleep tonight
No matter what you do
Just close your eyes little butterfly
I'll catch you
(I'll catch you)
And when you see the stars begin to crumble
Burning as they set the trees on fire
And when you feel yourself begin to tremble
Don't be afraid to tell your heart that it's alright
When the night is dark
I am carried by your spark
And these days all I think about
Is coming home
And when I feel afraid
I tell myself that I'm OK
Because I know you'll be right there
When I come home
And I won't be alone
If you're afraid of yourself tonight
And you can't find your wings
Close your eyes
And remember that it's almost spring
If you can't comfort yourself tonight
No matter what you do
Just close your eyes little butterfly
I got you
(I got you)
And when you see the sky begin to tremble
Breaking as it sets the world on fire
And when you feel yourself begin to stumble
Don't be afraid to tell yourself that it's alright
And when the night is dark
I am carried by your spark
And these days all I think about
Is coming home
And when I feel afraid
I tell myself that I'm OK
Because I know you'll be right there
When I come home
When I feel afraid
I tell myself that I'm OK
Because I know you'll be right there
When I come home
dylan stanley the real mvp 😂

Braden you are my hero and the one who stopped me from suicide. thank you so much for being an amazing singer and leading me out of the darkness 💜💙
This song i can relate to all too much, im depressed, terrified of being alone, broken, social anxiety, i know that if im all alone i will hurt myself, so i try to call with someone or listen to music.
You are awesome and i want to give you a hug
i know that this is not just me.. You have literally saved lives. I was cutting, and i almost killed myself.. A friend introduced me to this song, and it has literally saved me. And for that i can not thank you enough.
Me too ❤❤
You all have created more of the greatest, most heartfelt, most "real" songs I've ever heard...simply amazing. Thank you so much for that.
I used to listen you in high school, good music
Jesus. I am crying, but because I love this video and your continuing theme of battling the darker parts of yourself.
There are so many ways to interpret this...just...wow
I remember about 3 months ago my body was covered with cuts, and I listened to this song 24/7. It actually saved me from Suicide. I love Swcf so much
yeah, Braden is a great person, and believe it or not his music helped me in the same way as you; but the song that saved me was "scars"
Those Idiot Fangirls same here. Went through a hard time and had no one but I had this band. I listened to the meaning and it helped
WoW :o That really just made me so happy c: Hope you are good now
I feel you. His music has helped me several time from committing suicide.
Glad to still have you here!!! Hope you’re doing better now :)
braden i want you to say Youre the One who gets me true . I listen to youre songs everyday and it gets me true this horrible time i have to get true
This song is absolutely fucking beautiful. I almost cried. I love it just as much as blessed are those!
The butterfly reference must be about Leda. Such a beautiful couple and such a lucky girl to be treated so well ❤
Nearly cried. 😢

Wow... the music video just opened up so many other meanings to the song. I'm very imporessed. Fantastic Job Braden :) I'll see you at Wapred Tour in early August 👍 can't wait to take selfies with you and give you a gift I made for you :)
He isn't gonna be there in August he is only playing the first half or so :(
+Julian Worden (Pathetic Fallacy) he's only playing the second half i think..??
+xXSoWhatIfImEmoXx my bad I got it mixed up, it is the second half I thought it was the first.
+Julian Worden (Pathetic Fallacy) Yes he's going to be in Southern California in early August. I checked the tour dates on the Vans Warped Tour app
He's only playing the second half I think he said he starts July 22 or something.
I love his music, and to everyone who said it was a phase, 4 yrs since I found this music and I still love it
When i see things like this I am amazed you are so young and already create things like this, it's fucking mind blowing.
With Braden's music ,its impossible to just listen once. I never want -
When I come home, driftwood heart & Not anymore to ever stop. Ever!
I love this so much!! Saywecanfly makes my emo little heart swell. I'm so excited to see you at warped!!
Oof
5 years already??? its still a great song to me
Can I just tell you how much you've inspired me, so so so much I'm so proud of how far you've come and I hope you continue to make such beautiful music like this. Thank you so much for being inspiring and reminding me that there still is good in the world.
This song reminds me when I was coming home from my trip in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
I wonder if Braden's fans from there - would love to do a show in Vancity...
I love this song ❤️
He was just so perfect to see in concert 💕 He was just over a meter away from me and I had a chance to tell him how much his music has done for me and ask him something but I was too scared 😭💕

This song reminds me of when I was at the weirdest point in my life. Some days I was so incredibly happy, but some days I was so depressed I couldn't get out of bed. I get butterflies hearing this again after 2 years.

wow Braden, you make me cry each time, keep doing what you love Braden, youre amazing,
I'm weirdly attracted to him with skeleton make up what
Oh my god, Yes. Very attractive! 😍
😻😻💕♥
It was the Lord of the Rings tattoo on his left arm that did it for me. If you get the inscription from the One Ring tattooed on yourself, you can do whatever horrible, sinful things you want to me.
Its not even weird though because have you seen him 😍😍😍
Mannn 😍
Braden I just want to thank you for being you. You and your music have helped me through so many difficult times in my life. I can not thank you enough. I love you for keeping me alive
Braden 💜
your highs are fucken awesome but you should do more like rock not scream o but similar cause I think you have something with those high vocal's
he doesn't do screamo
Dylan Wells i never said he does scream o
+david then who were you talking about or what did you mean when you said he should do something more like rock to scream o
Dylan Wells like post scream o or around that area cause his music right now doesn't seems like it matches his voice
just fell in love with this song!! I've literally got cold chills
1 AM (EU) No regrets
same haha
Same 😁nlw 2am
*now*
Lol sacrifices 😂
un petit nightcore please😁
This song has been on repeat all day long for me. I love it so much. it just i don't even know. it just reaches out to me.
why arent u so famous i mean ur songs are better than those famous crappy ones
This is my most favourite song from Darling. Great job man on this video! ^.^
So emo. Many rawr
favourite song of yours Braden it never fails to make me cry
I just have one question.. Did the car hit him?
it didn't of course
No, it didn't
i think it was meant to. maybe we'll find out in the next video?
It reminded me of a story I wrote where the main character is depressed and the ending is basically the end of the video; car coming towards him but we don't find out if it hits him. In a way it's sad but at the same time it's hopeful because maybe the car stopped...but maybe it didn't.

Which brings us back to the point, maybe the end was symbolising the potential death of his self conscious and "worthless" side?
its up for interpretation
Wonderful as always
I feel like your voice and your control of it has truly grown. This piece shows it off beautifully.
I'm crying. This is beautiful, Braden. 💜

YES BRADEN OH MY GOD. I'm going to cry this is beautiful
Beautiful music, face, and video. Love everything about SWCF and Braden.
