    As time goes on, I find myself more and more angry that he's gone. It's been ripping me up slowly to think that he's just not here anymore. A life like this... a talent like this...beauty like this should not be so cut short. :(

      sunshaped I have literally been thinking the same exact thing. He’s become one of my all time favorite singer songwriters of all time. What a tragedy.

      As a father, it breaks my heart. Sadly I didn't discover him until he passed.

      I can't bring myself to feel angry. He tried his best. I'm just thankful that he was able to express himself so beautifully while he was here. I'm sad that he's gone, but I get it.

      As the father of three adult children, I am heartbroken every time I think of this poor guy. I’m heartbroken that he wasn’t able to shake the demons, that he died too soon and was so sad when he lived. But mostly because I have one just like him.

    Having not long discovered the band I cried when I read this. Mental health and anxiety is something that I never really thought much about until it struck me very hard.
    Thank you for the music that gave us Scott and the band. So so sad that you are no longer with us. I hope you have found some peace now brother x

I hope he realized how much of an impact he has made through his music. to the rest of the band thank you for amazing music and awsome love ahows.

    I hate that I never saw these guys live. Could have, was just lazy about it. If you love a band, and can see them live, do. Always. Buy the ticket. Take the time. And if you can, thank them for the joy they bring to the world.

    I had only stumbled upon this band after hearing a song on a TV episode. When I find a bad that intrigues me, I'll go through their discography. I'll start with the singles, then work my wait from there. I was kind of bowled over by just how many great sons they had. From a strictly songwriting angle, forget the production and arrangement, I knew that I found a relatively untapped, and certainly unacknowledged talent. There was definitely a great deal of earnestness in it. I recognized immediately from the vague descriptions and a few seemingly irrelevant throw away lines that to the

    Fall prey to the blizzard head
    Wrapped my hand around the glass again
    We all thought that I might change as I got older
    Fell down and nothing bled
    Wrapped in cotton alcohol again
    To the hill hear from the prick upon my shoulder
    Free pour the fruitless thoughts
    It's far too late to talk so much but
    Still not giving up though
    I wish that I was sober
    Forgive me I can't speak straight
    Forgive me I can't
    Forgive me it's far too late
    Choke down the gateway drug
    Opened the gates, in came the flood, it comes
    Like a blush of love, it hits me without warning
    Long nights of getting lost
    Iwalk beneath the bridge I don't know
    I need black suit for tomorrow, I'm in mourning
    My love you should know
    The best of me left hours ago so
    Shove it right into my mouth and let me smolder
    Fallout and the damage done
    I can't un-sing the things I've sung
    Still not giving up though
    I wish that i was sober
    Forgive me I can't speak straight
    Forgive me I can't
    Forgive me it's far too late
    Oh come and shake me till I'm dry
    Oh I wish that I was sober
    Oh come to me and kill the night off
    I wish that I was sober
    Oh come and shake me till I'm dry
    Oh I wish that I was sober
    Oh come to me and kill the night off
    I wish that I was sober

    • @sunshaped
      @sunshaped 5 років тому +12

      So little musical talent? What in the world makes you say that? You sound really ignorant. I know your comment is at least a year old, but FR is one of the last bands I'd ever expect anyone to criticize as having little musical talent. Grant is no run-of-the-mill drummer, and Scott was apparently a guitar virtuoso or something like that when he was quite young, and just simplified his playing when he started FR.
