My husband committed suicide three weeks ago, after years of mental illness and addiction issues. We were married 22 years and grew up together in the punk scene. From the first time I heard this song, over a decade ago, I felt like he'd written it to me. It makes my heart hurt every time I hear it. But it just came on a random playlist, and it was like he spoke to me from the grave.
I have so much guilt over his death. I wanted to help him SO f-ing much. And in the end, I feel like we both lost. I feel so robbed of the life he could have led and the marriage we should have had. He'll never stand behind me at another show, play the same damn song a million times, learning it on guitar, or sing along with me to songs we love. No one will ever know me like he did.
For all of you who relate to this song, please know there are people who love you and NEED you and would be wrecked without you. Who would feel like you were ripped out of their soul and took a chunk of it away forever. Know there *is* help and that the eternal sleep that may beacon you is a permanent solution to a temporary mental state.
Thank you, OWTH, for helping me understand the pain. I wish I could have taken it away.
I needed to hear this today . Thank you..
I needed to hear this today . Thank you..
Such a dark and heartbreaking life experience that was shared, so I almost feel guilty coming out of my shell to say that I'm soo geniunely thankful that you where able to share this with us.
We all see the world and how to be normal in our own individual interpretations regarding how things are meant to be, but sometimes we'll never understand the darkness others are going through... 😔
I'm incredibly sorry you lost someone that meant so much to you, also it crushes me to know that he had circumstances and individuals worth fighting for and through those demons that kept him at bay... Still, some of us just can't just continue the battle for others, when we can't even stay strong for ourselves... Really don't want to continue delving into that headspace, but I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this with us out here, especially those who truly relate to this song on so many aspects... 😔
Reading what you shared as well as well as working up the courage to express myself for a moment truly gave me some hope to just keep going for another day... 🖤 Especially for those that need us in their lives. 😞
Hope you're able to heal and that your journey in life continues to be fruitful.
Not sure if you'll ever see this, but regardless of any of that, I'm glad that I was able to express all of this and have this moment to express something in my heart. 🙏
very nice put@@janier234
take care
This song got me through everything I’d been feeling while dealing with brain cancer. As you are reading this, I’m nearly 3 years in remission and still going🖤 I like to think this song was written just for me.
That shit made my day! I'm genuinely happy for you.. Stay up!
did you even listen to the song?
why would this get you through brain cancer?
@@mastermanio2 You don’t get it man.
AWESOME. I'm so glad this helped you.
Stay tough as fuck whomever you may be.. Fuck cancer!
My wife loved this song. I lost her in 2018. It's just nice to have one more thing to remind me of her
As someone with intimacy issues as well as massive self esteem problems this song is extremely relatable.
I know exactly what you mean.
Feels in this post
Trust me im old as shit
I don't know I'm new to this band although I've known of them for years but I think personally did this very well might be their best song???
Well at least they're most honest song is that fair?..
Whisper screaming to this song while lying in bed as helped talk me off the ledge on two separate occasions in my life. It's cliche, but I mean every word, Off With Their Heads has literally helped save my life. Thanks guys. I mean it. Thank you. I'm 34 and finally starting to feel alright.
❤️
They say the things we feel but have trouble expressing!
I feel you man. More than you will know. That’s not how we get out of this life. Keep on pushing through the obstacles and keep crushing it!!
I love to hear stuff like this. I just discovered this band. I'm 39 and been punk obsessed since I was 15. It's good to know this has had such a positive effect on you. Keep at it - things get better.
Incredible bass line when it kicks in after the first verse. Listen kids, I'm in my forties and the lyrics are still pertinent. A great song is a great song.
Totally agree these guys are fucking awesome just found them
finally my midlife crisis aint so bad...
2019 29 years old and fuck yes
Found them when they opened for another band a few years ago, one of my favourites ever since!
agreed , I'm 40 and right there with you
This song hits me in my life right now....I feel like I haven't hit where I should be in my life right now with virtually no support from my wife...thank God my 4 yr old boy keeps me going....I love you, my son Caleb!!!
hang in there dude, you are not alone.
kids are magic for all they give back and are completely unaware, hang in there the worm will turn
Jason Green your a champ. I can relate
Jason Green I tried to triple like this. Couldn't even do the double. But yeah. Me too
My name's Caleb, and I'm in the same exact boat
i don't know if i should be concerned that this song, especially where it gets to "GOD DAMN IT IM FALLING APART" still feels so relatable 9 years later...
This songs hits to close to home i suffer for mental issues and damn what this guy says is spot on
Fuckin A dude. This shit made me raw
its referring to addiction
How is this band not bigger than this! amazing song!
I get your point but 652k views is good for a modern punk band that isnt is pop or poser punk.
All of their albums are extremely good, imo
Because commercialism sells, and this is real fuckin punk!! And as far as we are concerned they are fuckin huge my friend!!
Radioactive chicken heads are the best and best songs way better than ths
Thank you guys so much, I have been searching for something to prove to me that I'm not alone. This might have just saved my life. Beautiful song.
You’re not. Ever.
music has saved my life. hundreds of times.
Relate to this I’m 60 years old LOVE this song Thanks Guys
Fuck yeah Martha! Rock on kiddo!
I had a friend who passed away last year. He was a brother in every sense one could think of. I held everything in for about 3 months. I heard this song and I broke.
The most beautiful lyrics I have ever encountered.
Man when I’m in a dark place off with their heads comes through every time. This song describes my life to a tee. Sitting here by myself. drinking, taking benzos and alcohol, and doing cocaine, and a song has never rang so true to me. I love you owth. Thanks
For saving my life several times.
This rings true in ways I couldn’t possibly describe or explain. You are not alone, brother.
When I'm in a dark place in my life this song always brings me back to the light I feel like this song was made for me
Think most of my family would turn it off before, it ever reaches the part that says" Don't leave yet! I haven't gotten to the part that explains it all." I completely relate to this song.
Beautiful
Eddie Steele I read this right at that part !!
Punkrockbowling ClubShow
Beautiful hurt
My mum heard me listen to this and she asked me why is that guy screaming what's wrong with him. HAHA!
My favorite song of all time. Thanks for this song, guys. Much love
i love this band so much. they're so gritty and real and you can tell their music is from the heart and yet they don't take themselves seriously at all, it's like they are well aware that life is overall, really shit. so all you can do is have fun with it.
If they never wrote another song, I would know they did this one.
Saw them at reading and I was absolutely captivated, obviously a lot of soul goes into this music. Amazing.
This song is AMAZING and I’m back here consistently..Thank you off with their heads a💯💯
This song has helped me so much. I wanted to just say thank you for writing and sharing it. All the best.
Love this band, I was excited when I found their vinyl at the store the other day. Prob one of my favorite bands in the last fee years.
I know people warn others about listening to OWTH when depressed but oddly I feel better when I listen to them, like someone understands how I feel when I can't talk to family or friends because I'm scared of what they'll say or think.
I mean if you’re listening to OWTH and not depressed you’re lying
i connect to this song so deeply i could listen to it for an eternity and never want to flip songs
"Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?"
Ryan Young gets it.
Owth just in general has some of the most amazing lyrics
this is the best video i have ever seen in my life and im old enough to remember where i was when video killed the radio star first played on mtv
Just ordered the record a few weeks ago when my relationship broke apart...and i'm just stunned in every second when i hear those lyrics and his voice. Just awesome!
"I thought I'd get older and it'd go away,
But it only gets worse and causes more pain,
And being alone is getting so hard,
I just got to tell you.."
I thought I'd get older and it'd go away
But it only gets worse and 'causes more pain
And being alone is getting so hard
I just gotta tell you
Goddammit, I'm falling apart
So. Fucking. Relatable. Also I appreciate the visual humor that makes the whole piece easier to open up to.
one of the hardest songs i know...... listened to this when i was in a bad place n some how the power of this song pulled me right out of it!
My pal from Sweden turned me onto this band. They hooked me from note one. Their lyrics are great.
Just recognized you guys today. Why? Missed you without knowing all these years!
This song is outstanding! One eye is crying, one is laughing.
Because I can feel and hear it.
Captain we're Sinking, PUP, Off with their Heads...
Punk's not dead! Punk evolved!
Love it
I was having an emotional moment watching the video for this song
Just heard this song in Jersey on WSOU and only remembered the "I need some body there to catch me before I fall" and that was all I needed to find the name of this song. 89.5 FM!
I heard these guys on spotify two weeks ago and instantly fell in love with them. I feel like I'm under a rock sometimes missing great bands like this. Also this song though the lyrics and all it just something that so many people can understand. Even today this song my mood after work.
I just wanted to say that I found this song because the drum player used to be my teacher but still works at the school.
Saw them at Riot Fest for the time. and they sound amazing live. Ive never felt so much emotion than when they played this song
I obsessed over 'from the bottom,' and I thought this album was terrible for so long. It's starting to grow on me, especially this song. It's so rad. Hits you hard.
Come to México. This song save my life
Y si vinieron o no?
I never got into OWTH when I was younger, knew of them, but just never gave them a real listen. Then, one day last year, mid mental breakdown, shortly after being diagnosed bipolar (at 35), this song came on an A Wilhelm Scream playlist on youtube. I stopped and just cried. I've never had a song hit so deep and resonate with the mental health struggles I've dealt with my entire life as this song did. This song pushed me through some of the most severe depressive states of my life and helped keep me alive. As a kid that came up on street punk and hardcore, I've had many songs cut deep, but not many as deep as this song has, and for that, I am forever grateful.
Listen to the rest of their songs. There a reason why “Home” got a 10 year anniversary tour. Its much of the same and still very very good
Thank you Spotify. I've finally discovered these guys and seeing em in North Jersey in November.
This song speaks to the core of my being
Saw them yesterday here in Sydney, seeing them tomorrow night again, they absolutely killed it!!!!!
Awesome band. Terrific live show! Can’t wait until they come around again. Don’t miss them!
this song is freaking amazing! i keep listening to it all day looong
one of my favorite songs from them. listeing to this makes me cry all the time
I first came across this band at a Less than Jake show, they were one of the openers. This album was new so it's what they were playing at that show, and it definitely made them one of my all time favorite bands as well.
over the years I can't express how I've felt! This song sings what I went through. AND perfectly!
so true....
This song for sure and Bring me the Horizon's song Can you feel my heart- "I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone
I long for that feeling to not feel at all
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim
I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone
I long for that feeling to not feel at all
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim
I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone
I long for that feeling to not feel at all
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim".
What a preformance ! Beautiful !
I seriously can't wait to see these guys down in the city. Even at 25, I can totally relate to this song... being socially awkward legitimately sucks lol.
+Ashley Loupe Same here, except i'm 27
+Malcolm Anderson try it at 28, man.
+Ashley Loupe Try it at 33 lol
+Daniel Yzaguirre
Fuck you! I'm 42. ;)
+Ashley Loupe it gets worse and worse the older you get. 30 here haha
I can't stop watching this. So good.
I needed this song
Thanks for putting it all on the line, and sticking with it. I gotz der bipolar, and these songs really help when I start loosing it.
Thanks again.😀
this is probably one of the most relatable and well written song that i have ever heard
this video is actually the best ever xD...i wouldn't expect anything less from OWTH
Ive loved this band for a couple years now. Missed them when they toured to St Pete this past year and I recently moved to Indiana, unfortunately chasing a high school girlfriend. Even though im really in the feels this past week, this song for some reason, really helps. Thank you, guys
I was two and a half years sober when I took my 5 year old daughter to see you guys at Darkness Day. I was so overwhelmed. When you got done playing I went across the street to buy some whiskey. I haven't been sober since.
Sorry Brother. Sorry Dad. Sorry Grandma. Sorry Ovie. Sorry Natalya. I am so sorry.
You doing ok?
@@AndrewSchlegelso much has happened since this comment was made. 2 trips to detox and a round in impatient treatment. A jail stint. A couple deaths. Lost jobs, lost money, lost friends. I actually just hit the 1 year 8 month mark with no alcohol. Things are far from perfect but it always could be worse. Life gets a little better everyday. I am grateful. For all of it. Thanks for checking in. Hope you are well.
easily one of the best sets of PRB 2016
Oh yeah.
I love these guys so much! Home kicks ass, but this probably is my favorite of their records either that or From the Bottom. Both equally are awesome
My favorite band.
Ever.
My new favorite band.
I love how they did this like an older U2 video .,., this is a great song, great band, and good tribute as well
I just cant get this song out of my head
Love this group
Greatest music video of all time.
I count this in my top 10 songs of all time.
I just heard it, and thank you to all who helped create it.
I can't state how important this song has become
Every song is a box of memories.
I cry to this song every time... eventually I wont
This video is too good. Love it.
Great song!F'IN awesome video!GREAT BAND!!
♥❤♥ this, the band, the song, the video, the muppet...
Not really into punk but i heard this on the radio a while back and fell in love with the song, it just spoke to me, as they do... but they actually make really good consistent music, now a fan =)
I just found them now and i cant believe i haven't heard this already! Amazing! :) Consistently good, I agree!
Saw these guys open for Alkaline Trio a few weeks back. First thing he says is "I apologize if I throw up on you" to the kids in the front row. Instant fan.
Goddammit does this song sum things up for me. It’s pure magic. And yes the muppet is like icing on the cake. I love the lines, “don’t leave yet, I haven’t gotten to the part that explains it all. Don’t leave yet, I need somebody to catch me before I fall.” Been there, done that. It’s reassuring to hear someone else say it all so perfectly. Keep your hopes up high and your heads down low, ya’ll.
thanks. I needed this.
Still one of the greats.
this is one of those songs that hits SO close to home, i cant listen to it everyday, i cant listen to it but once a month maybe. its just too fucking powerful
If only I could repetitively thumb up this band to get them more noticed. Hoping I can get to Sioux City this Friday to see them!
Wow what a song! I am so happy right now I just found this. Having Bipolar omg does this hit home so deeply on so many levels. I just listened to this song 10x back to back couldn't get enough of it. Thank you for the goosebumps. Reading the comments it's clear whatever your struggles this song resonates with you!
You can never just listen to this just once. I always get stuck playing over and over.
@@anthonyjarrett1981 every time I am struggling it helps so much
Thanks owth......I feel a tiny bit less lonely
I forgot how much I love these guys. But I always forget how much they sound like a more mature, more real life, more angsty and broken Against Me! And thus, I love them so much more.
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG.....
I had a corporate gig. Total package benifits included I was approaching 6 figures. I had a house, two great kids and an amazing wife. I literally had it all but I was absolutely miserable. If it wasn't for Off With Their Heads, I would be dead. They were my therapy. My absolute undeniable evidence that I was in fact mentally ill and not alone but.... That wasn't the end of who I was and I could change things. With two mortgages, 4 car payments and while only having a GED. I quit my career in telecom, moved back to my home town and started a new career. 1000% the hardest thing I ever did but the smartest thing I ever did too.
Good on you bro. Hope you're doing well.
Thid band got me excited about music again.i love them from the first time i heard em.
The song is straight up real feelings swear he ran right through my head and memories then made this tune it f--in amazing
This song is the only thing keeping me together at the moment...
Classic Off With Their Heads. Happy instrumentals, sad/depressing lyrics and a crazy music video. Imagine what Ryan smelled like afterwards.
Now this is the perfect mix of punk and emo that I live for, definitely considering seeing these guys in Belfast.
I can only imagine what an awesome show that would be!!
Good shit first time hearing them
I love this song!!!!
Amazing song and lyrics
I think anyone dealing with life hard spells. This song rips you raw....such power to invoke such emotion. For so many to identify with.....true artistry.
Jason, things get crazy, always focus on yourself for your son! Hang in there man, so cliche
I saw them in concert last night... I couldn't help but remember this song.
I've been living this for too long. How much longer?
This song gets me through every day.
2021 and still love this song! from argentina!
Awesome video.
Gosebumps
love this song...
