  • Mental health was such a taboo topic when I was growing up. I felt like if I ever told anyone about how anxious and depressed I get I would automatically be considered an outcast. Kids from my generation were ruthless. The way we treated each other, and even I’m guilty of it.. was wild. Words were exchanged that simply can NOT be said today without serious consequences. Now it’s 2020. Now I don’t really care what other people think about my mental deficiencies because I know that I’m not alone.. that i’m not deficient at all, but that instead LOTS of people all around the world suffer from neurological conditions.
    A good friend of mine, Melissa and her husband were on a plane that fell out of the sky in Kenya early in 2019. This is one of two reasons the song is called “Fly”. I’ve known many people that have passed too soon, but for whatever reason this one hit very hard and it was that night that I decided I needed to write the realest shit I could possibly write because life can be over in an instant. So these words, they are all true and I am no longer afraid of them. I needed to try an help other people who have stood on top of buildings ready to jump, I needed my brother to know It’s my fault we don’t talk enough, I needed my Mom to know i forgive her for the choices she made in life... and to tell myself that it’s ok to not be superman every second.
    It’s also why I shot the video in the back of the tour bus when I had the flu. I’m living in this world where there is a filter on everything, where on social media everyone kind of enhances how they look. I look like shit in this video and I don’t care. This video had to be as raw as the song itself. The boys have had my back so hard on this song and it’s absolutely insane at concerts when thousands of people are singing these words back at me. It’s a special one, and we hope that it can help others to realize we’re all in this shit together. Life is scary. Thank you so much for helping us spread our art.”

      Same, it's hard to keep holding on for seemingly nothing, but just being able to sit and vibe to music which portrays your very thoughts and emotions helps. Feels like I'm not truly alone and there are other people who feel the same way, maybe from mistakes they've made too, or maybe for another reason. I fear I'm only in the beginning stages of this spiral though. How deep does the hole go? What's at the bottom? I almost don't wanna know the answers

But I know *exactly* what you were insinuating through the toast. You should have been toast, but something always saved you... the magic. It's your belief that everything was gonna be all right. Dogs help so much, don't they?? Keep finding/forging ways to keep the FAITH, Brothah. Life'll come around. YOU are the key.

    I start keepin it real

    thought about ending it all

    don't know why I'm so fucked up
    It sucks maybe I'm over-dramatic
    But I'm just keeping it real
    I'm not always okay
    I don't know how to deal
    I wish I had someone
    to give me some love
    I wish I had someone
    to give me a hug
    I'm sick of the liquor
    n sick of the drugs
    I wish I could just stop fucking up

    U can change if u wanted
    let me tell u something
    else that's true
    There's no1 else that's
    just like u, Dear Johnny, be real
    It's okay to feel
    One day ur gonna hear this song laugh because u stayed so strong
    Got a brother I know
    that I don't call enough
    "Hey, baby boy, what's up?
    I miss u so much
    Got a father that raised me
    when shit got tough
    But we don't really know
    how to talk about stuff
    Got a mother I ain't seen in 18 years
    Just know that I forgive u
    there's been too many tears
    I hope I don't get any older
    With this chip up on my shoulder
    I think it's time I switched it all up
    I'm falling away From everything
    that's ever brought me down

    I found this group at a time I really needed it, albeit a little too late. around the time this song came out I went on a bender due to severe depression. At 2:30am on November 6th 2019 I messaged a friend I may need to go to the emergency room. At 3am he came to my apartment and rushed me to the hospital, on the way I had a seizure. When I got to the hospital I went into a coma for 3 weeks, during which I stopped breathing twice, I should not be alive today. I am now trying to better myself and live a good life free from stress and depression, and I will certainly be listening to this group as long as they make music. Be strong Johnny, we can make it.

    I love how raw and emotionally deep this video is it actually goes amazingly well with the lyrics of this song. I am so amazed by the number of celebrities, musicians, and influencers that are being open with their mental health lately, even though so many of us do fight some form of mental health diagnosis it is still so hard for people to be open about it. I myself was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2, I fight against the depression it brings on an almost daily basis. I also have to fight the urges my manic episodes bring. It's very hard to fight something you can't see and can't always understand and explain. For me, it helps to know that I am not alone in my battle and that even someone whose life may seem so much better than mine for whatever reason also deals with similar mental health "issues" (grr I hate words like that but I honestly can't think of anything better to use) So thank you for letting us in on the darker side of you and letting us see the rawness that is part of your life.

My mom from Cancer and my bestfriend whom had a fatal fall while intoxicated...She was partying on a flat roof, (many of us had.been at the very same place over the years to hang out), she made the wrong step and went over (strange how the "friends" that were there partying with her didn't report it and left her laying alone until a passerby found her ) 😢. Completely devastating..💔 I'm heartbroken..
    I have been sober 16 yrs now!!! It can be done..we ALL have strife and struggle. I want those who are out there struggling to know NEVER GIVE UP...fight the good fight, over and over, no matter how long it takes, until you can see light again...
    YOU ARE NOT ALONE....💜🤟 Reach out, you'd be surprised, even strangers can empathize with you...other's who have walked or are walking the same path...we can stand tall together for a better tomorrow. Stop the vicious circle...

Soon as they heard call 911 everyone tried to doctor me up and wrap a shirt around my head and we stayed and partied some more but my one friend was so pissed at everyones actions he flipped out on everyone. We were far in the woods and I went to the ER next day had to get 8 staples in back of head.

      I would recommend a natural medicine if you are able to over a pharmaceutical drug.
      There's also plenty of evidence on Psychedelic dosing, more specifically micro dosing to help with both anxiety and depression.
      I experienced one such but with a rather large dose that broke an 18 yr long alcohol addiction.
      One hour from my dose it reset my brain, I put down my drink and didn't pick one up for 6 months

Now I’m 33 & am in recovery thankfully. Also, my bipolar disorder & my anxiety disorder are finally being treated. I went so long because I was embarrassed. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s not our fault we have these disorders. It’s a chemical in balance in our brains. Thank you again for making this song

To all of you that are suffering in any way..I see you. I know how it feels to be in the hell of addiction or homeless or so anxious I can't leave the house. I love that there's music like this where you just know its coming from a place of pure honesty and the fact he's used his experiences to influence his music and allows himself to be vulnerable enough to share it with the world, is beyond amazing. I was introduced to them by my best friend who recently passed away due to a heroin overdose, so everytime I hear them, it's like my friend is with me. Well I'll quit rambling, just wanted to comment and remind everyone how awesome you are, no matter your situation... I believe in you.

    Thee VERY first time I heard FLY, tears just started flowing down my face... Because i've been RIGHT THERE and I cant just say once unfortunately MANY times. And actually kinda going through it again. My wife is away doing a lil time and her and my/our children are MY EVERYTHING, and I started slipping again into the deepest depression ive EVER experienced drowning myself in drugs . I feel so alone, lonely, an anxiety drivin freak, but i listen to FLY and realize that im just one of MANY ppl that feel that way. So none of us are alone in this struggle called life. Sometimes you just need a reminder too take a step back, realize what you do have. Im bipolar manic depressive, and 10yrs ago I was in a horrible accident involving drugs. I suffered a sub clavical aneursym and a stroke i died twice on that operating table, they had too graph a vein in my neck where thee aneursym had blown up, so they had to clamp off thee artery while cutting vein from my leg to replace it resulting in 10 and a half hrs of NO blood flow to the right side of my brain causing an undetermined amount of brain damage, which also makes me feel very emotional at times AND I CERTAINLY dont always know how too feel. But you, I, us can be honest and change if we want it, and theres CERTAINLY no one just like you or I, and thats true.
    HELL outta MILLIONS of swimmers YOU were the winner...... Thats amazing, and like Johnny theres NO ONE ELSE THATS JUST LIKE YOU!!! Please dont forget it either, like i sometimes do. This song has done soooooo MUCH for me especially mentaly.

I am a mom now to two beautiful little girls and I can already see the anxiety both of them have to deal with and it makes me so sad because I don't want them to have to live like this. I am however thankful for my own struggles as I feel I will be able to help them and realize things more than a parent who doesn't know this struggle. Thank you for your music as it has helped me cope with so much. Here's to ending the cycle.
