311 - Trouble from Universal Pulse (July 2011). Digital finger-painting animation done on the Brushes app for iPad. Directed and animated by Shawn Harris. shawnharris.info
This album came out during the darkest time of my life. Homeless in Raleigh, tried to move back to California, ended up homeless there. Went to rehab for 60 days. Got out. Relapsed immediately. Went back in for 30 days. Got out. Relapsed immediately. In a moment of desperation, I got a bus ticket to Olympia, WA and moved in with my friend from the Army. He doesn’t even take Benadryl lol…being around him was the example I needed to get out for Good. I got married, got a house, started a business with my wife, got divorced. And now I’m in the dark again.
This and so many other songs. So special for so many of us in recovery. Also go listen to Get Down, Sun Some Through, Golden Sunlight, Whiskey and Wine, and others. And share with others. Music can save lives.
love this song! been sober 13 months and this is like my new theme song! good for them to write a song against the battle of addiction, it claims so many people!!
Congratulations. They so many with this theme, especially around this time period. Very inspirational. I think I was around 15 months at that point. I've had to start over a few times and I always go back to this song. Plus others with the same theme: Get Down, Golden Sunlight, Sun Come Through, and others.
brings me back to the early 90's. abstract dark videos with no live footage just propel a good song tenfold. radiohead, soungarden, nirvana, and toadies were great at this.
Hell yeah, me too. Man, I bet that cruise was epic. I've seen them in concert countless times, and I've met Chad at a show, but that cruise would have been something else. They're difinitely all about spreading and sharing good vibes.
SOOOO I guess the thing he pulls out in the beginning is the state they are from lol in the "middle" as it says in the lyrics... nice touch... best band ever...
Yup, the band is from Nebraska, a middle of nowhere state with pretty much nothing in it, nothing to do. The song is about him growing up, becoming hooked on drugs and alcohol- like a lot of people from a middle of nowhere place often do.
Let me tell ya little story About a kid from the middle Had my mind set on glory Whatever I had to give I had no anchor to keep me from forever drifting Caught up in danger somehow I have survived I was always looking for trouble, trouble, it always followed me I would always have to do a double, a double 'cause one just ain't enough Of all the liquor and enough of pharmaceuticals All at once I up and pulled the bamboo out my cuticles The bullshit, trouble was coming from me, honestly Oh oh oh I got a mind full of weapons In the battle of me versus myself And everything that I kept in I'm finding the courage to tell The sweetest repose comes in the strangest of places I never supposed clarity would find me Point of contention, pain will both motivate and Lead to you change, It's been said before, I'll say it again You only will get, one spin ooooohhhhhhhh:)
Coming from nebraska, about 72 miles away in lincoln, from where they hail from. I can relate, there ain't shit to do really. I heard a stereotype about nebraska how it is boring. It's not a stereotype if it's true. Two joints, double shots, two hydros and triple stacks of Molly are a good night here. More the merrier.
I actually like this album a bit save for the standard anesthetic outro song which is super played out for them. In many ways I like the move towards a more mellow, groovy kind of sound.
WOW, 311 has hit an alltime low in their music, I can't believe that this is the same band that made the Transistor, Soundsystem, The Blue Album, and Grassroots... It's a shame that they have lost their old sound.
The Mix of the song in this video is superior to the album, the vocals are clearer, the bass effect is way louder, the background guitar licks are actually heard before the bridge, the clean guitar you can hear, what happened when they mixed this album?
@Artonious This video is actually pretty lame. itd be impossible to get high enough for me to wanna watch this strictly for the video. now acid is a different story. but weed, i'd rather watch a stand up comic or shit.. anything other than poorly drawn cartoons.
This video is hella powerful for people that have addiction/dependence issues. Props to Nick for sharing these lyrics.
So true. This and several other songs. I'm so glad that he pushed through it all and has a totally different life now.

Still sober? Hope so!

Everything is a fight.
The video makes the song that much better. I will never tire of 311. Best song off the album for sure.
This song is stuck in my head sumpin fierce
311 = Best band E V A R
One of the best 311 album, totally worth it!
brings me back to the early 90's. abstract dark videos with no live footage just propel a good song tenfold. radiohead, soungarden, nirvana, and toadies were great at this.
Jenn's 311 radio has been going for over 9 years now. I listen every day.
Greatest 311 video of all time... Might just be the greatest song as well. This is my life animated.... I can relate to "trouble"
Word up 311. Great album.
A vastly underplayed song and one of their best
Hell yeah, me too. Man, I bet that cruise was epic. I've seen them in concert countless times, and I've met Chad at a show, but that cruise would have been something else. They're difinitely all about spreading and sharing good vibes.
Right there with you man..
I have been there for 311
Met them a few times..
Went on there first boat cruise.
Chill ass dudes, making chill ass music.
This song make's me happy :)
I'm so glad this song was on the last album. It has quickly become my favorite. Keep it up 311! Please never stop.
my mind was so entranced in this video.. i love you, 311. i'm going to go watch the weightless video again.
no matter how bad of a day or week you have 311 always soles the soul! keep making beautiful music 311

yeah the midwest
This might be my favorite track from the new CD. The whole thing is amazing! Thank you 311!
Absolutely amazing video. Great job and i hope to see more vids like this
hell yea 311.
Let me tell ya little story
About a kid from the middle
Had my mind set on glory
Whatever I had to give
I had no anchor to keep me from forever drifting
Caught up in danger somehow I have survived
I was always looking for trouble, trouble, it always followed me
I would always have to do a double, a double 'cause one just ain't enough
Of all the liquor and enough of pharmaceuticals
All at once I up and pulled the bamboo out my cuticles
The bullshit, trouble was coming from me, honestly
Oh oh oh
I got a mind full of weapons
In the battle of me versus myself
And everything that I kept in
I'm finding the courage to tell
The sweetest repose comes in the strangest of places
I never supposed clarity would find me
Point of contention, pain will both motivate and
Lead to you change,
It's been said before, I'll say it again
You only will get, one spin ooooohhhhhhhh:)
The new album is definitely amazing, love the hints of old styles mixed in. :)
Awesome song, the intro is amazing!
The song started back up again. i total would have listened to it again
yo that big ass hand has some mad swag fingers.

i was looking for this song and i finally found it again
@Dmg3dGoods you never cease to amaze me.. you keep me going crazy... that's one thing I know for sure
My favorite so far!

Hexum is probably a god from Nebraska

Brilliant!
Awesum!!!
You should always listen/ watch 311, high or not.

Sublime + RATM with a little bit of indie music, and it is not a critic. I enjoy this song. Greetings from Brazil.
Great job my friend, honestlyy ohhhh - ohhh.

WOW, 311 has hit an alltime low in their music, I can't believe that this is the same band that made the Transistor, Soundsystem, The Blue Album, and Grassroots... It's a shame that they have lost their old sound.

The Mix of the song in this video is superior to the album, the vocals are clearer, the bass effect is way louder, the background guitar licks are actually heard before the bridge, the clean guitar you can hear, what happened when they mixed this album?

@Mastercrisian
It isn't on the radio, because it doesn't completely suck.
You really shouldn't be listening to 'radio' anyways. It's not healthy.
0:58 am I the only one that thought dude just shit his pants? Eternally?
Can't be viewed on an iPhone yet was created with an iPad. Epic fail on that.
XD
k-pins, yeah?
I just really hate this video. I'm glad I heard the song first before I saw the video because this is not what I imagine at all when I hear this song
Weirdd.. half way threw the vid i gotta a feeling it was gunna be one of those repeating ordeals.
Wasn't too impressed with the video, but the song was good. So I didn't dislike =D
does somone know what kind of pills this guy is taking?
The animation is pretty wack in this vid. Great job 311!
Awesome energy to share!
My ex-girlfriend has to quit hard drugs & hard alcohol, or else she's gonna die.
