This is the last song I got to hear my dad sing at the top of his lungs while fishing in the middle of South Padre Island, TX. Shortly I lost him to Cancer... RIP dad , I miss you and now I sing this song at top of my lungs every chance I get.
You're dad sounds like he was awesome! Sorry for your loss, its weird losing parents. That's a great memory tho, total badassery. Happy Holidays to you and yours :)
My neighbors showed me this song when I was hooked on oxycodone and they said this was my song lol I'm 3 years clean now I listen to this song every time I think of relapsing I wanna say thank you for helping me get clean to be able to see my daughter grow up and one day I now will be able to tell her how y'all saved my life so from the bottom of my heart thank you and much love my daughter can now say her dad is still alive and is clean
10000000 procent respect Mr. 👏💯💪. Iam proud of you, even I don't now you, iam very happy for you. Me my self I have a bit problem with alcohol.. 😪. But I will fight 😊. Greetings to you, stay well✌️🍀
Was an addict for a long time, did some things that would make your skin crawl as most addicts have, but in the 5 years that I’ve been sober I have finished my BA program and have less than a year for my MS program. To anyone dealing with addiction, don’t ever go back, you know where the road leads.
Good for you going back to school, I followed the other route. Totally capable and won’t pay me cuz lack of degre, got 5 years on job experience tho lol. Fucking stupid, college graduates are useless. Donno what they text at college but it doesn’t seem to apply to jobs. Ur either good or ur not. No inbetween
Congratulations on your 5 years and all of your accomplishments, my 4 year clean date is coming up in a week, this song has reminded me of liberation when I'm feeling nihilistic about life and society, it's nice to know there are other folks who found an attachment to it who have been down the same road... i have all these memories of things I did as an addict that also make my own skin crawl but it does get better doesn't it... I operate my own gardening business now and make art with my down time...I just give my artworks away because I'm not struggling to survive anymore...and I figure it's a gift given to me so I should give back in ways I know how to, and since most of the people I wish to make amends to are dead I figure why not make beauty and just gift it away to others who are still here... I'm doing it all for my dead friends, wife, and girlfriend anyhow...may as well show em their love mattered...if drugs didn't get them suicide did, so I made a vow to try and make people's lives around me better than it was when I found them... I have called abandoned buildings, burned out cars, patches of woods in parks, and the undersides of highway ramps home all across the USA... I don't need a lot to be happy, I just want a moment or two of redemption after taking so much for so long, and taking so much for granted. Keep moving forward friend, maybe I will see ya on the other side one day. ✌️
Good for you, it always makes me happy to hear that a fellow addict is not only surviving, but thriving. Since posting this 10 months ago, I got my first job working as a therapist with a specialization in drug/alcohol treatment.
@@BlooperWorld wish I woulda taken that advice. Clean almost 3 years but threw it away. Didn’t think i’d get sick going on a 3 day binge since i havent used in years but i did and i cant go through that wds in my life rn lol. My tolerance was still strong too it was basically like i never stopped it
@@joantalanian582 Well, we moved from Minnesota to Tennessee and no one would help me ween off or prescribe it, I called all over, so I had 3 pills to ween off, 33 days today. Not gonna lie, it was horrible, I did go to ER and get fluids, adavan, and five days worth, it helped a lot! Everyday gets better, trust me, you can do it, but ask the prescribing doctor to help you go off slow!! I didn’t have the option cuz we moved.
You know looking at this song in 2024 I think there is so many people they can relate to it. I feel like we've all been pushed to our limits in one form or another and I don't really feel like we're going to get any relief insight. I kind of think of this is like a country song to be honest with you that's just rocks. But if he had just bought that shotgun first they might not have been able to do any of those things to hahaha
Those words are the reason I got off depression/anxiety meds after 10 years. I now have short term memory loss, am easily angered, and everyday is a struggle. It's hard, even when I have a family who loves me. I'm getting better everyday but it's a life long battle. I'll take the struggle over being numb and apathetic.
I'm in this life right now, minus the drugs and I don't think I need mental help, I just need everything to stop turning to shit so I can start making the right choices. Until then I'm just a thief who can't make it any other way.
@Eli some unsolicited advice from someone that was in your exact position...you HAVE to remove yourself from where you are as soon as possible. Take a bus 1000 miles away. Stay in shelters or ymca if you have to...somewhere (preferably rural not a city) and stay there for as long as possible...or, if you can...go to a Methadone clinic. I know it's just a substitute...but I was on it for 10 years (almost)...actually still on it ....the only time my life was manageable has been when I have been on methadone....the same thing doesn't work for everyone. But going to the methadone clinic was the best choice i have made in 20+ years...good luck man. And do whatever you can to stop hard street drugs...so much shit now has fentanayl and I have had so many close friends die in the past couple years. (And many people even before that) but I'm talking about veteran long term users with high tolerances. It's crazy out there now...at the very least, get yourself some narcan...(it is given out free almost everywhere now) and don't use alone...always have someone with you to shoot you with narcan if you fish out....good luck man.
@Eli I'm sorry. I misread. I didn't see you say, minus the drugs...just keep your head up. Keep trying. And try to do whatever you can to change your situation. If I can do it...anyone can do it
@@justinkoeberl5797 I live in a rural area and it's why I have become a thief. There ain't no fucking jobs out in this goddamn godforsaken wasteland. I can't pay the rent any other way. During the summer it's pretty bad but during the winter I'm more vicious, more dangerous. I turn into something that is not good at all during the winter man. I get to a dark place where I'd probably kill if it was my freedom or jail.
my dad loved this song and he passed away last year. i actually never heard it till my mom showed me it recently, then i heard it on my radio station for the first time and i can't stop listening. i know my dad wanted me to hear it. good luck to all of you. please stay strong and rock on
Hello tailor time.. I am so soo sorry for you, that your dad passed over.. 🙏😢😭. I am crying because I fear to lose my parents, when they are gone, I have no one again. Thanks a lot for your peaceful wishing, I whish the same to you. 🤗. 100procent power and keep on rocking 💪🤘☺️💯. Greetings from Germany. By the way... This song is my favorite.. 😊
It gets better. Keep up the fight! One day or even one second at a time! You will still have hits but you can hit back so much harder sober! Sending hugs and love Fellow Warrior
It's been 16 years since I had my last drink. Now, I can't speak for other people, but for me, it's been fairly easy. The hardest part was keeping my distance from my friends who were a bad influence. I'm not blaming my friends. Everything you do in life is your decision. But when you hang around with people who don't give two shíṭs about your wellbeing,,,, you need new friends. I've been offered many drinks over the years. Saying no isn't hard when people respect your decisions. I just politely say " No thank you, I don't drink anymore." If your friends say things like "One drink won't kill you." Or "Don't be a party proper." Yeah, sorry, you need new friends. It's nice to wake up in the morning without feeling hung over. It's nice not having the shakes at 3 in the afternoon. It's nice not worrying about getting home after a night out. It's nice not spending my entire paycheck on booze. Most of all, it's nice to have friends and family who respect your decisions.
Anthem(s) So many of their tunes refer to mental anguish and angst. In an interview Brett talks about how much therapy he gets from writing songs like he does.
@@elliottsmiles170 Middle class people got their problems too. There's enough credit card debt and scripted pills floating around to do one under. Difference between lower and upper, is that one group has to fight for their methods of self destruction, the other will have it handed to them by bankers and head shrinks.
december 25th 2017 was the last time I took an opioid, been 2 years clean from the oxys. best thing I've ever done in my life. still a battle everyday but I know I'm winning every night I go to bed sober :)
This is an account I never use so feel comfortable saying this. Brother, I don't know where or how you came up with this song but all I want to do is give you a big hug for understanding the life. I'm tired of being ok against my will is possibly the greatest line I've ever heard. I relate so much to this. My family are in the dark about the real me and I'd rather them think of me as a screwup rather than what I really am. Thank you for this song, thank you for understanding even if you don't. I listen to this song at least once a day and I'm sorry I don't tell more people about it because it's so intensely personal to me I just want to keep it that way. You deserve every good thing coming to you but from me you deserve a hug and a thank you from me which is the highest compliment I can give. Thank you for putting into words something I thought no one else understood. I'm not some angsty young 20 something, I'm a 50 year old who has struggled through the years to understand myself and to take each day I stay here as a blessing and a challenge that so far I've stayed ahead of. Thank you again.
I dont know you, nor do you know me, but while i agred with you on the lyrics i still say you should get some help. I have an older family member who feels much the same and I just... Anyway. Please consider it. Be well, friend. I wish you only the best.
@@aguyuno Thank you for responding. I've been forced to get help before and it just hasn't worked for me. One day my mom called out of the blue and apologized for not being there during my childhood, she was trying to protect herself which I understood. My biggest regret is that when my dad died he woke up enough to know I was there and knew this was it for him, I was there my my sisters and mom not for him, and I didn't tell him to fuck off. I did it for them. The line about getting hooked on Oxy is so powerful because for a time I was. I hated that this was making me feel good and that none of it was from me. I've already decided that when I hit 70 that'll be the time to go. I have enough will power to make it till then but that's it. I wish I had the guts to tell my sisters and let them hear the song under my context but I know they would fight me. Anyway it's a great song that has touched me in a place I thought had died. Thank you for letting me "live" for a little bit each day. I'll never delete it or have it not on my main playlist.
@@sartan232 Play it for your sisters. They might fight you but they will at least have a chance to understand you. I am so sorry life has gone this way, friend. Be well.
This song touched me because my brother died of an overdose. Addiction gallopes wild and free in my family because of mental illness. I'm struggling at the moment, I'm also in my 50's, and have been trying to deal and put up a positive front for a long time. I'm tired and sick..
This song is genuine. It's been my life, like they wrote it about me. I see people saying the song is upbeat but the lyrics are depressing. If you've ever been to church or listened to reggae or blues, than you've heard songs about heartbreak, loss, oppression and suffering all to an upbeat tempo. It mirrors life itself, being upbeat while everything tries to drag you down.
Great post....I think many people can relate to these lyrics, I know I sure can. Like you said, its catchy and upbeat but underneath it is dark and rough just like life
Typical fucking idiot! If you'd bother to read my post I said "people" as in, not me. You moronic troll. Obviously it's cathartic, as was stated in my post. You are so ready to pull the trigger and yet, you don't have a clue to what you are aiming at. Eat shit!
Just watched them live at Red Rocks last night. Never heard of them before that. They need to headline at Red Rocks next time! One of the best live performances I ever seen.
Just discovered these guys in May 2018. I've seen them 5 times since. They have every element of a successful band: work ethic, passion, talent, great songs and amazing musical chemistry. Granted, once in awhile they look like they want to kill each other onstage, but that's all part of the secret formula that makes them great. Can't wait for the U.S. to realize what Canada already knows: these guys absolutely rock.
I living this song .i was a truck driver and of the top of tanker trailer. 21 months along . I had 12 major surgeries and the last 6 days ago was the last, now I am disabled for life . I now live with my parents because I loss everything. At that suck and my settlement taking a long time finalize .
I'm liking this song more and more. I ran out of my sleep meds and am having real bad insomnia. had to call in today cause of it....." I'm sick of being ok against my will"
So I had actually lost my job, had my car repossessed, my hot water turned off and was addicted to percs. Been clean for 2190 days. Have a car I own, a new place with hot water and a great job.
We are all proud of you keep up the good work stay strong you can do this my father suffered from meth and is in prison gets out in one month after three years you can do it sis.
My D.I.L. sent me this cut. Said it was my theme song. Half true. Came OUTA Detroit the best city in the U.S.back in the 60:s-70's that I knew. Saw every band known at Cobo Hall back then, every Friday and Saturday. 2 to 3 shows a night. Had my boys by 78. Big 3 shutting all its doors. Moved across state on another Great Lake. Wanted to raise them boys out in the farmlands/small villages. Still blue collar workers! Woulda had a better chance in the Motor City. You knew who were friend or foul in the city. Out here everyone is a stranger. Near Everyone has open carry. Unlocked an loaded. Back on the low east side, Detroit, all I cared about was my baby boys, Vietnam vet husband, myself and my self trained police dog. I trained to be a cop but all them kids needed a mom and dad, a .22 long.and a bill thirty lb. German Shepherd. Would like to go back anytime now. I've done my time out here! Husband got caught up in every shit job to downsizing! Died from Vietnam agent orange and the Veterans medical? ending up getting both legs cut off, he gave up! Now Live in hell town, really losing it, alone.
Luv this song! My anthem When u lived through all this and have survived. Top of the world and then it falls apart. 8 back surgeries with steel holding your back together. Coming out the other end and life is good and calm.
CONGRATS JULIANNE THX YOU FOR YOU'RE MESSAGE OF EXPERIENCE STRENGTH AND HOPE AND LIKE 👍 YOURSELF I'M ALSO IN RECOVERY GOOD JOB 👍 KEEP UP ☝ THE GREAT 👍 WRK !!!
This and finger on the trigger by bleau edmonson got me through some shit. No exaggeration. I was ready to test the integrity of my curling fan. Hearing other people go through helps. You connect with people on an unspoken level. This is why music is made and people connect with it
Being an opiate addict in this dimension is the most cruel thing that I have ever gone through. No one understands the level of pain and torture i go through daily. And yet hundreds of thousands of people do. I lost my sweet husband a year ago after 16 years of marriage. And going backwards in time from there my Mom, my Dad, my daughter, my first fiance, my little boy who was 4 and then finally my brother. In that time, about 20 years, every time one of my precious loved ones died i died woth them. And then had to force myself back into existing because i was still breathing. I have no-one now except my 3 kids. Which im trying to get back. Im almost ready for the sawd off. Almost. I used to love living. Now it hurts so bad just to realize that I woke up again each morning that i keep asking God why am i here when all the best ones of my life are gone? Opiates are so beautiful and so sinister at the aame time. Dont ever pick them up.
I've lost my daughter, her dad, my brother, my cousins. My grandkids all 5 are doing great. 3 Don't know what an amazing mom they had. I'm allergic to pain meds so that I couldn't do. Glad some of the crap was never around when I was a kid. I was accused of doing drugs by dss. UAs show I'm clean. I need that info for myself to frame it. Anyway, they took my grandkids bc they say I've let myself go, that I need to find myself. They say they are afraid I'm going to go out like my daughter did. I say to them why did you take my kids then bc that's how your friends benefit off them. They are my whole life. Kids are not commodities, they are human beings. These days I'm alive in spite of the system. Life's tough but so are you. Take life straight. No chaser.
Arguably the most underrated new (relatively speaking) rock bands now and of all time. They tick all the boxes and hit the road steady. Keep up the hustle guys, we all appreciate your music.
Well you could look at it from two different points of view, is this speaking to encourage giving up, and buying a shot gun? Or is it commentary on the opioid problem that is killing so many young people. We did drugs when we where young in the sixties and seventies, nobody I know died of overdoes.
We really did turn our power back on, we both lost our jobs n I did get hooked on Oxy😏I love you they took the car in May.. The house shit that was two years ago.. You rock that sawed off baby, you all sound great funk in love you all....Sasquatch our way back up 💕
The energy of this comment section is so empowering I’ve always had family members who struggled with addictions some had lost against them and some have won and are still with me, pray for the ones you have lost but keep fighting if it’s something you’re still going through there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel and progress is progress even if it’s slow ❤
This is the last song I got to hear my dad sing at the top of his lungs while fishing in the middle of South Padre Island, TX. Shortly I lost him to Cancer... RIP dad , I miss you and now I sing this song at top of my lungs every chance I get.
I'm so sorry you lost your dad. May you forever keep that amazing memory, and yes.... sing your lungs out everytime this is on!!! Sending love ♡
You're dad sounds like he was awesome! Sorry for your loss, its weird losing parents. That's a great memory tho, total badassery. Happy Holidays to you and yours :)

I'm truly sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was an amazing man! May he rest in peace and may he forever reside in your soul!

Congrats man your daughter deserves it. I love my daughters and would do anything for them also.
I am too and lost my husband to suicide 5 mo ago 😢 he did exactly how the song explains
Hell of an eye opener but congrats! I'm on every other part of this song! Guess the Oxy is next
3 months clean guys. 3 months of happiness 😊

Proud of u. I need to get there.
When the crowd is singing the line "they shut the lights off" the area should shut it's lights off as well.
duhhhh yeah..
7 days clean off nasty RX meds from the Dr.. 🤘😬🤘 Kentucky Girl here!
Hello from TX and that's great news
Keep it up I had 10 years of that crap n 1.5 years clean it's possible
Awesome
Nice
Anthem of the lower middle class.
They really managed to capture all the same feels going through that in just 3 mins. Pretty awesome
I’m upper middle and love it. Don’t judge. :)
@@BFreyman845 boomers gonna boom
Anthem(s) So many of their tunes refer to mental anguish and angst. In an interview Brett talks about how much therapy he gets from writing songs like he does.
@@elliottsmiles170 Middle class people got their problems too. There's enough credit card debt and scripted pills floating around to do one under. Difference between lower and upper, is that one group has to fight for their methods of self destruction, the other will have it handed to them by bankers and head shrinks.

december 25th 2017 was the last time I took an opioid, been 2 years clean from the oxys. best thing I've ever done in my life. still a battle everyday but I know I'm winning every night I go to bed sober :)
💛🖤 good job mate stay strong
Good shit man 👊
Great to hear. I’m about to fight the battle myself.
@@damonwest939 I believe in you 💜
@@damonwest939 you got this buddy, it's a hell of a road at the start. but dont give up and stay strong dude
The first time i heard this song i was in a detox facility 300 miles from home. 6 years later i don't know how i did it but i am still alive.
This is the way a concert should be. Not many people on their phones. Everyone is just singing along living in the moment.
mitchellk272 I was at this concert. It was awesome 👍👍
If you don't have your phone out, you're going to forget most of what happened and be unable to relive it.

Currently feeling this, no job or car nor home down south trying my best
Hearing a crowd of thousands singing YOUR song has to be the greatest thing EVER for a band.
riiiighteous
I was at this show in Toronto... and going to see them tomorrow and Saturday at Massey HALL cant wait
This is an account I never use so feel comfortable saying this. Brother, I don't know where or how you came up with this song but all I want to do is give you a big hug for understanding the life. I'm tired of being ok against my will is possibly the greatest line I've ever heard. I relate so much to this. My family are in the dark about the real me and I'd rather them think of me as a screwup rather than what I really am. Thank you for this song, thank you for understanding even if you don't. I listen to this song at least once a day and I'm sorry I don't tell more people about it because it's so intensely personal to me I just want to keep it that way. You deserve every good thing coming to you but from me you deserve a hug and a thank you from me which is the highest compliment I can give. Thank you for putting into words something I thought no one else understood. I'm not some angsty young 20 something, I'm a 50 year old who has struggled through the years to understand myself and to take each day I stay here as a blessing and a challenge that so far I've stayed ahead of. Thank you again.
I dont know you, nor do you know me, but while i agred with you on the lyrics i still say you should get some help. I have an older family member who feels much the same and I just... Anyway. Please consider it.
Be well, friend. I wish you only the best.
@@aguyuno Thank you for responding. I've been forced to get help before and it just hasn't worked for me. One day my mom called out of the blue and apologized for not being there during my childhood, she was trying to protect herself which I understood. My biggest regret is that when my dad died he woke up enough to know I was there and knew this was it for him, I was there my my sisters and mom not for him, and I didn't tell him to fuck off. I did it for them. The line about getting hooked on Oxy is so powerful because for a time I was. I hated that this was making me feel good and that none of it was from me. I've already decided that when I hit 70 that'll be the time to go. I have enough will power to make it till then but that's it. I wish I had the guts to tell my sisters and let them hear the song under my context but I know they would fight me. Anyway it's a great song that has touched me in a place I thought had died. Thank you for letting me "live" for a little bit each day. I'll never delete it or have it not on my main playlist.
@@sartan232 Play it for your sisters. They might fight you but they will at least have a chance to understand you.
I am so sorry life has gone this way, friend. Be well.
Stay strong! People who don't even know you, love you.
This song touched me because my brother died of an overdose. Addiction gallopes wild and free in my family because of mental illness. I'm struggling at the moment, I'm also in my 50's, and have been trying to deal and put up a positive front for a long time. I'm tired and sick..
Most relatable song in America
Because this Canadian band knows your country well.
I didn't say they did.. I said it's relatable to Americans. Ppl can write songs from all over the world and it can relate to anyone anywhere.
2 years clean ❤
Canada's really kicking out the jams lately.
This band and The Hip are both from Kingston, Ontario. There's something in the water in that city.
90s rock meets 2019. I LOVE it!
Yes!
This song is genuine. It's been my life, like they wrote it about me. I see people saying the song is upbeat but the lyrics are depressing. If you've ever been to church or listened to reggae or blues, than you've heard songs about heartbreak, loss, oppression and suffering all to an upbeat tempo. It mirrors life itself, being upbeat while everything tries to drag you down.
Mawkus Wilhelm true
Great post....I think many people can relate to these lyrics, I know I sure can. Like you said, its catchy and upbeat but underneath it is dark and rough just like life
@dani cali Are you just going to bitch out every comment in here? Get a life.
Typical fucking idiot! If you'd bother to read my post I said "people" as in, not me. You moronic troll. Obviously it's cathartic, as was stated in my post. You are so ready to pull the trigger and yet, you don't have a clue to what you are aiming at. Eat shit!
The Glorius Sons saved my life!
me too brother me too long live the glorious sons!
it speaks to you if you have lived it. Like a sawed off shotgun, this song speaks to many points
total vibe of 2020. im gonna listen to this til 2021
Just watched them live at Red Rocks last night. Never heard of them before that. They need to headline at Red Rocks next time! One of the best live performances I ever seen.
I saw them a few weeks ago and they were amazing. Also, I'm extremely jealous of seeing a show at Red Rocks :(
Kaleo was pretty incredible too!
Make sure you watch their “live at longboat hall” unplugged concert on UA-cam, breathtaking performance.
This song restored my faith in Canadians
We’re sorry that we may have/have-not done and/or said something that made you lose faith in us.
@@Psychonaut316 You know what you do
Cool story brahhhhhh ...! I mean fairy tale story
I always have held Canadians in the highest regard
Sorry you felt that way.
Every couple months I comb through playlists to find new music. Im glad i found this one.
Just discovered these guys in May 2018. I've seen them 5 times since. They have every element of a successful band: work ethic, passion, talent, great songs and amazing musical chemistry. Granted, once in awhile they look like they want to kill each other onstage, but that's all part of the secret formula that makes them great. Can't wait for the U.S. to realize what Canada already knows: these guys absolutely rock.
These guys r so great ❤️
I don't know who to trust; they need people like us!!! I love this friggin song. My husband that is a cop hates it so much.
Mrs. Messer that's hilarious.
Weird that cops hate people struggling.cold blooded asshats.
Retired cop here and love it
A year clean this was my anthem at my worst
I living this song .i was a truck driver and of the top of tanker trailer. 21 months along . I had 12 major surgeries and the last 6 days ago was the last, now I am disabled for life . I now live with my parents because I loss everything. At that suck and my settlement taking a long time finalize .
Prayers my brother
1236 days clean and this song got me through some shit during my active addiction
This song is perfect, I got clean at 25 last year and don’t plan on going back. This song is going to keep me to it, thankful for it x
It's like a taste of my music coming back from the 90's
I absolutely love it 🤘
This country is a powder keg, and anthems like this throw embers in all the right directions.
This song just captures the 2010s so fucking perfectly one of the only true songs made in this decade.
one of those songs were the louder you play it the better it gets. :)
Caught these guys at the Stones concert near Toronto. What a blast!
My dad is 73 and heard this song up north, he said turn that up full!!
I'm sick of being OK against my will.priceless
Wins the "gets stuck in ur head forever" award
Oh hell yeah
Sorry Mercedes guy stuck in your head like you need a fancy car Idiot
I’m 60. Hooked on pers, oxcicotin and every other opioid. I survived!? Love this
Song speaks to me on another level. I have been clean since 3/9/2019
You got this, amigo.
Best wishes!
I'm liking this song more and more. I ran out of my sleep meds and am having real bad insomnia. had to call in today cause of it....." I'm sick of being ok against my will"
That’s very familiar.
I love uppity party happy songs with dark f***ed up lyrics. Lol This is on that pumped up kicks level!
Right. Like The Day That I Die also
@@Luvs2TroL i gotta check that one out!
So I had actually lost my job, had my car repossessed, my hot water turned off and was addicted to percs. Been clean for 2190 days. Have a car I own, a new place with hot water and a great job.
People are proud of you I'm sure! Keep going strong.
We are all proud of you keep up the good work stay strong you can do this my father suffered from meth and is in prison gets out in one month after three years you can do it sis.

@@nicolevanorden8061Thank you! I’m rooting for your father, Nicole.
Love it u deserve it
My D.I.L. sent me this cut.
Said it was my theme song.
Half true.
Came OUTA Detroit the best city in the U.S.back in the 60:s-70's that I knew.
Saw every band known at Cobo Hall back then, every Friday and Saturday.
2 to 3 shows a night.
Had my boys by 78.
Big 3 shutting all its doors.
Moved across state on another Great Lake.
Wanted to raise them boys out in the farmlands/small villages.
Still blue collar workers!
Woulda had a better chance in the Motor City.
You knew who were friend or foul in the city.
Out here everyone is a stranger.
Near Everyone has open carry. Unlocked an loaded.
Back on the low east side, Detroit, all I cared about was my baby boys, Vietnam vet husband, myself and my self trained police dog.
I trained to be a cop but all them kids needed a mom and dad, a .22 long.and a bill thirty lb. German Shepherd.
Would like to go back anytime now.
I've done my time out here!
Husband got caught up in every shit job to downsizing!
Died from Vietnam agent orange and the Veterans medical? ending up getting both legs cut off, he gave up! Now Live in hell town, really losing it, alone.
How are these guys not the next greatest?
Such a rush when the crowd sings your lyrics back to you!!
Luv this song! My anthem When u lived through all this and have survived. Top of the world and then it falls apart. 8 back surgeries with steel holding your back together. Coming out the other end and life is good and calm.
CONGRATS JULIANNE THX YOU FOR YOU'RE MESSAGE OF EXPERIENCE STRENGTH AND HOPE AND LIKE 👍 YOURSELF I'M ALSO IN RECOVERY GOOD JOB 👍 KEEP UP ☝ THE GREAT 👍 WRK !!!
These guys are going to be in Niagara performing during the solar eclipse…. April 8th/24
My buddies the Boneheads opened for them! What a day! So special
Absolutely 💜 this!!! Very good job capturing their true selves live. Seen them twice and 1 show coming up. 😀 Can't beat their energy!!!!
please join our FaceBook fan group !!
For sure. Great group of people. Hope to meet up with some of you, in Nashville.
Finally new good music !!
SICK OF BEING OK AGAINST MY WILL !! 💯💯💯
less meds, less shit people
This is gonna be my bands song of the summer. How could you not love these dudes. Huge influence on any canadian rocker.
This song has an outstanding recipe or ingredients for a great Quentin Tarantino movie!
25 minutes clean 🫶
you got this....one minute at a time is just fine xoxo
23 hrs clean, waiting to continue to destroy my life now.
This and finger on the trigger by bleau edmonson got me through some shit. No exaggeration. I was ready to test the integrity of my curling fan. Hearing other people go through helps. You connect with people on an unspoken level. This is why music is made and people connect with it
These guys are so fun. Another terrific Canadian band.
Canada isn't known for rock music 🤣 you got hockey socialism and free health care
Making your way to the top and representing Kingston along the way! Keep em coming fellas!
Almost 5 years clean
This is an absolute banger dude.
Heard this song on the radio, my first night at a rehab center. It's been stuck with me ever since
song gives me chills every time i listen to it real shit
I just heard this song for the first time and love it.
I'm in Virginia USA
Oklahoma
Being an opiate addict in this dimension is the most cruel thing that I have ever gone through. No one understands the level of pain and torture i go through daily. And yet hundreds of thousands of people do. I lost my sweet husband a year ago after 16 years of marriage. And going backwards in time from there my Mom, my Dad, my daughter, my first fiance, my little boy who was 4 and then finally my brother. In that time, about 20 years, every time one of my precious loved ones died i died woth them. And then had to force myself back into existing because i was still breathing. I have no-one now except my 3 kids. Which im trying to get back. Im almost ready for the sawd off. Almost. I used to love living. Now it hurts so bad just to realize that I woke up again each morning that i keep asking God why am i here when all the best ones of my life are gone? Opiates are so beautiful and so sinister at the aame time. Dont ever pick them up.
Life is about enduring struggle, my prayers go out to you for all that you’ve gone through and the struggle you will endure and win.
I know the pain.. I will be celebrating 3 years clean in May. Good luck to you!!
I've lost my daughter, her dad, my brother, my cousins. My grandkids all 5 are doing great. 3 Don't know what an amazing mom they had. I'm allergic to pain meds so that I couldn't do. Glad some of the crap was never around when I was a kid. I was accused of doing drugs by dss. UAs show I'm clean. I need that info for myself to frame it. Anyway, they took my grandkids bc they say I've let myself go, that I need to find myself. They say they are afraid I'm going to go out like my daughter did. I say to them why did you take my kids then bc that's how your friends benefit off them. They are my whole life. Kids are not commodities, they are human beings. These days I'm alive in spite of the system. Life's tough but so are you. Take life straight. No chaser.
O we all do feel your pain buddy, all like 4 million of us hleho got hooked in oxycodone
Pain pills
Arguably the most underrated new (relatively speaking) rock bands now and of all time. They tick all the boxes and hit the road steady.
Keep up the hustle guys, we all appreciate your music.
2 years clean!!!🖤
Tough as steel!!!!
Literally just heard this song...and it hurt...this is my song at the moment...this is America's song at the moment....
Ya man, & it's almost like everyone's missing the message for the catchy anthemic wailing..
Well you could look at it from two different points of view, is this speaking to encourage giving up, and buying a shot gun? Or is it commentary on the opioid problem that is killing so many young people. We did drugs when we where young in the sixties and seventies, nobody I know died of overdoes.
They usually died of traffic accidents cause by inexperience and or impairment while driving.
Literally in my car SCREAMING THE FUCKING CHORUS
M. Bax yes
I’d say it’s small town USA in a song
Everybody's acting like they're all alright
I can barely get myself to sleep at night, I'm sick of it. Yeah, I'm sick of it. - RELATABLE
We really did turn our power back on, we both lost our jobs n I did get hooked on Oxy😏I love you they took the car in May.. The house shit that was two years ago.. You rock that sawed off baby, you all sound great funk in love you all....Sasquatch our way back up 💕
LOVE THIS SONG! I fell in love with it the first time I heard it.
Haters gon hate. This song is badass
90 days baaaaaaby
The energy of this comment section is so empowering I’ve always had family members who struggled with addictions some had lost against them and some have won and are still with me, pray for the ones you have lost but keep fighting if it’s something you’re still going through there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel and progress is progress even if it’s slow ❤
3 hours clean
legit. That's good bro. keep going.
🎉🎉
you got me beat
An hour later.....🍷
Than you can do it for the first time in a while and move to 🇬🇧
Just found these guys... This song has been on high rotation the last few days... LOVE... Come to Australia!!!
I love this song...It takes me back to the Seattle grunge rock days..
@@dixonhill1108 thats cool,The sound reminds me of the late 80s early 90s.. It can mean anything
Badass song…half our population 🎉 sos
I’m also old enough to be their mother but I’ve a lot of shit and he speaks truth 😂❤
Sad but true
