It’s so weird to think he destroyed a hotel and pissed in every drawer the night before this was filmed.
He can barely open his eyes cuz he's hungover & probably high its crazy to know...
That just sounds crazy! Dude is in real deep!
It's also weird to think he included the hotel night in his video. Writing on the walls in blood. Writing with paint. Then he threw a paddy at the end, same as the vid.
@@ariab9889 he just relapsed and is getting help addicted is a bitch.
@@francescacozens6064 he was just practising the night before, no one realizes that? 😂
Nobody’s perfect, everyone has flaws and it’s only up to us to become better. I’ve grown up listening to Jonnys songs weather it was Emarosa, Dance Gavin or even Slaves. His music is relatable to everyday life problems. Despite what he’s done or hasn’t done he’s a human and like him we all make mistakes. Weather he betters himself is up to him but he has one hell of a voice and his lyrics are unreal. Hands down probably my favorite vocalist.
I agree !! ❤
Thank u
he’s honestly a prime example of why people should separate artists from the art.
but, his music is basically his life on the lyrics
It's about his heroin addiction
Who's here after Taylor Nicole Dean video? :(
Mawizz the what?
so heart breaking 💔
Did it recommend it to you like it did me?
UA-cam WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS 😅
He makes me sick!!!
Patrick Robbins manipulation thru music! Singing about his dad and his pathetic sob story. Oh poor pitiful me! Shut the f up!! (Sorry lol he just makes me sick, I just wanted to see this cause I just watched taylors video)
Hurt people, hurt people.
His voice is amazing and hits my emotions harder than any voice has.
Greatful for him no matter his demons.
We all have them.
most amazing closing track on the album.
Also, jonny's last song with any band (dgd , emarosa, slaves). Final song on the album of Slaves' 3rd album. Jonny went ahead and bowed out with the most elevating track ever. The final breakdown is so sincere when the band kicks. "we can get through this, these tougher days"
I honestly can't stop listening to it.
2:56 is what I’ve been waiting for the last 6 years of my life. Jonny Craig with that melody, I will remember till I’m an old man. Thank you
This song actually helped me to be able to handle the death of my mother earlier this year. Specifically the part that says we can get through these tougher days. So thank you Slaves, you really did help me at a terrible time and I cant thank you enough for that.
"I never have to think about my father, and how he walked out on us. how I barely know my mother, for that I'm a shame. afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away." so beautiful, so emotional, so honest. you've come so far, Mr. Craig. you've touched so many hearts with this new record.
You realise he has done the same thing?
Antti Mäkimartti
What do you mean?
Jonny has a child, whom he decided not to be in any contact with. He has a song about him/her as well called Children of Divorce. A great song.
Antti Mäkimartti true true true
I forgot about that and didn’t think about it
Hmmm. Tbh that’s a dick thing to do but at the same time, we don’t know what’s up with the situation.. it’s easy to judge outside looking in I guess, but still, dick move
Really, though.. J craig was one fucked up guy, baby steps for him. He won’t be Jesus over night
This album is honestly amazing. Keep fighting your demons Jonny
This man is hands down the best vocal artist.... all he needs is his fans to believe in him.
Purple Reign has been on repeat for a long time now. This is *GOLD* The Pact is on repeat now.
Seriously have listened to this at least 30 times in a row now.
This is the one of the best sounding albums they have put out. It's relatable, the sound is full and clear and it's just an all around great album.
Adolf Hitler lol you’re name kinda made me laugh
I might have been able to enjoy this song if I didn't know the things he did to people
Its sad how dirty he did people ugh
Jordan Mattingly what did he do?
@@tiffanymartin6229 Just youtube Johnny Craig exposed, there's a 2 part video explaining everything.
The same
Still enjoy it because I'm not a little bitch about things.
I was sitting in my room just chillin and my cousin runs up the stairs and is like "Have you listened to The Pact by Slaves yet" He knows I love Jonny. He was like "wait until you hear this part dude" talking about 2:53 . I immediately, opened up youtube and played the song. We're both quiet throughout the song until 2:53 hit. All I said was "OHHHMYGODDDD" with my hand over my mouth, like 5 times with chills all over my body.
I''ll be listening to this song when I'm 70 and still love it just as much as I do now
.
Just putting my thoughts into words. Thanks for reading if you got this far 😄
VolumeZ i got goosebumps :/
Also 3:39. Omg. The same feeling with all the chills.
Great singer, terrible person :(
@@kiyorra5356 he's not a terrible person. He's had it rough and is learning to cope. He's not nearly as bad as most other people. Never raised his hand to a woman. He has no filter, that's about it. He's been trying to kick his addiction.
2:50 of lemon meringue tie is way better
To everyone who commented "Who's here after taylor nicole dean's video" -- thanks for spreading the info. Im a casual fan of Jonny, love his voice. He needs to get help though. For all those women who came forward, hope they get help as well. It's not just about the truth, as a therapist, we look at how experiences and people affect clients - and clearly, his effect on those who came forward have been traumatic. Their subjective truth matters, same as Jonny's subjective truth. Get help man
Can you hear that breath at 3:49? That's how an artist put everything on singing.
That's what makes a band special, because his frontman do it with passion and devotion at creating music.
That's why I love bands like Slaves or Evanescence.
Music is more than headbanging or enjoy a piece of music.
Feel it, enjoy it and live.
Víctor Martínez a lot of my music is head bangable but it still has emotion and allows u to feel it
TOOL... now that's music..
TOOL IS IN ANOTHER LEVEL!!! lml
Mine too Ragna so yes, no one knows how a couple of strings and drums can shake your brain to move your emotions.
Víctor Martínez Lol....evanescence
I have never heard a album filled with so many catchy hooks. One of the most heartfelt Jonny songs too.
feels everywhere
senti
This song and purple reign on dbm2
Rui Carneiro cmon it's Johnny fucking Craig that's why
Pretend.relive.regret is my personal favorite because of the lyrics!!
Look at all you fools judging this man for the things he’s done, because it’s come to light. You’d bow your head in shame if we all saw the terrible things y’all have done. He was an addict, being an addict is obviously their fault but once it’s happened the person you were is gone. You are a monster. The last thing someone recovering needs is the constant reminder of what they did.
Agreed. I’ve seen it happen in front of me. These people are ignorant
lmao fuck right off
Johnny, I've been living as an addict. Your music always swayed me away from the bottle. I lost my mother and father at 15 years old. Your music helped me get through my tight spontaneous moments. So I wanted to thank you for being strong and amazing. There is people out there counting on your lyrics to help them. Thank you for everything brother. Seriously.
Apart from what Jonny did or didn't do, this song has a unique meaning. It fits perfectly in many lives. #SLAVES #JONNYCRAIG
This is the peak of Slaves and all of Jonny’s career. Crazy good. Not a bad song on the record.
Edit - This is the peak THUS far
WowDude1029 this is not the peak it gets better from here
Love the edit!
I’m happy his music isn’t corny since being sober
Being sober is a great thing and y’all might have diff opinions but for me, it seems like artists weaken up on songs after sobriety.. Eminem, schoolboy q, there’s some other ones out there (talking about artists addicted to opiates)
Happy j craig can be sober and can continue to make great music
Also, I’m not saying making music is > than living a sober and healthy life... being healthy is important
Your profile pic! love TCTT 😍
This is a great song and an amazing album. But I personally believe some of Jonny’s best stuff was both DTBM’s and relativity
A man like this shouldn't have this angel like voice what a waste.
Lucifer was the angel asigned to make music praising god in heaven before he fell.
Fallen angel.
coincidence?
he can literally sing like hell -pun intended
I guess the "painting the walls with blood" thing was just a rehearsal for this video then? 🤔 I hope after this he and everyone affected by his behaviour have the courage to get the help they need tho...
i am dead lmfaooo
What she meant when she said “painting blood on the walls” is when your IV use drugs your veins collapse & after a while you have trouble finding one. So you will sit there sometimes for HOURS poking yourself with a needle trying to find a vein and sometimes you bleed but it’s not in a vein and that blood gets in the needle if you squirt it out quick enough you can get the blood out before it mixes with the h/water (cuz when it mixes it coagulates & clogs the needle) well messy addicts just squirt the blood out at the wall or floor because it can take to much time to get up and go to the trash or sink. Hints the phrase “writing with blood on the walls....”
@@KarinMichelle Right but I don’t think that’s what she meant..
lmao "by his behavior." Look snob, he didn't force anyone to do anything, people chose to be around him. It takes more than courage to get help, I doubt you know anything about struggle.
What I'm curious about, is why would you come to his content just to promote hate?
@@kass_G59 Nothing gets past you, does it?
I've been in Taylor's shoes. Her story was like a 1000% retelling of mine. It's crazy. I'm 6 years sober from what I let my ex do to me but I take blame as well because I didn't run when it started happening. I thought I needed to help him when I was pulled into hell with him. Jonny is beyond talented and a human being. I don't think he deserves to be put down daily by people who don't know him. There's two sides to every story. I'm thankful that Taylor spoke up but she didn't want everyone to push him down. We don't know either of them. We weren't there. I just hope they both can live with their choices in life from this point on and be happy. 🖤
I went from Ehhh , to tears of inner pain and regret , in a about 45 seconds. .
AND NOW IVE GOT THIS SONG ON REPEAT. #SLAVES
I can hear Jonny's pain in his voice in this song. His voice is so incredible. Mad respect for this man right here.
Holy shit!
Imagine he was still in DGD
That would be the best band ever (I mean I love Tilian and DGD pretty much is my favorite band but how Jonny developed his voice over the years is incredible and it would be so amazing to hear how DGD would sound nowadays with him)
I acknowledge that he is amazing at singing but I can’t enjoy this song knowing what type of person he is
Edit: I know there is obviously a cause for the way he is now I don’t need to be told.
Same
니콜 피온 he's not a bad person
@@alexanderdempsey9424 he's actually a terribly shitty person. Waste of good talent
Alexander Dempsey yeah go watch taylor nicole deans numerous videos about him- if you’re at all a decent person you’ll change your mind
xoxo lynnie UA-cam isn't a place I trust people to tell the truth. look what happened with the nikocado tea. I stand with johnny
That song hit me right in my soul. I'm so fucking glad that Jonny is making his way up to himself. Damn, it's so rewarding to see him getting up, even tho he can only imagine how much someone at thousands of miles away is cheering for him to keep up the great work he always did and most importantly on becoming a better person, not to someone, but firstly for himself. I'm amazed how powerful this song is, the feeling that slaves has right now. Can't wait to rock with them live.
God, go see Taylor Nicole Dean's videos on him, he was an abusive boyfriend that made her a heroin addict.
LOL this aged BADLY
Nah, ele é um lixo
@@aprilfuller6534 lol you can’t make someone a heroin addict don’t give him that much credit
@@kaleighwebb2561 yeah one thing I noticed with her is how much blame she put on him. :"I did heroin so he would like me" it's such bs she is an addict because of her choices, they were both toxic and he moved on to have a family but she just couldnt deal with it so she used her big platform to talk a bunch of crap about him. I'm sure he has plenty of horror stoies about her as she is a heroin addict aswell who is still using, if anything he moved on and shes still on the heroin train
Since he's got those teeth of his, he's deffo opening his mouth more when he's singing! Now I can accurately see the power he puts into all those belting sections.
Mr No One that’s good for him. Dental costs a fuck fortune
What do you mean?
Snow Ball exactly what I said.
Shout out to Taylor for paying for them
@@sarai637 Indeed Sarai637, I was so intrigued after she said that in her video it's what brought me here. This music is pretty incredible, saying this after 110+ Grateful Dead concerts so hard emo rock isn't my normal jam *big Adam Duritz and Counting Crows fan too, though, but that's a BIT more similar in style to my normal likes than this. Still I'm honestly considering buying this whole thing on iTunes. (LOVE Blue October & Modest Mouse too, so with those being my normal top 5 bands, I may be converted, he's got some real talent, hope he's doing ok since the breakup, saw on his Instagram that his broken heart is filling LOTS of new studio time, great for his fans would seem).
I believe what he says in this, and that his true self is buried deep inside screaming to get our but it can’t. The bad side has taken control and buried it and he can’t get away from it.
His Broken inner child is calling out for help in this song, it doesn't excuse his adult behaviour but at least he's being honest about what he deals with!!
Yeah he’s actually just a piece of fucking shit but alright.
best work they've put out by far
Nick Maas it's because he was apologizing to the fans for his past was real emotional
16 years of heaven from you Jonny. From Ghost Runner on Third to DGD, Emarosa, DGD again, and now Slaves, plus your solo career and collabs with PTV, Chiodos, Lower Definition, Woe Is Me, Broadway, Kyle Lucas, Captain Midnite plus many many more, to covering Drake and just being totally authentic and you this whole time, I thank you for that, and for being mad cool with me when I met you several times. What a career and awesome man you are no matter what people say, one love
Also the Slaves cover of Sweater Weather on Punk Goes Pop
I just wanna know why I never hear any of there music on the radio? This album is by far the best album this year!!!!
Cause we don't want it there
Their music was on Sirius XM for a bit when they were on Artery
almost 5 years sober from Heroin. Jonny i admire how you were able to pick up the pieces and move on. Mad Props Bro. We have had this converation many times while you have been on tour.
Might want to start the timer again, fucker's relapsed.
Jonny needs help, man. These lyrics remind me of how I used to romanticize my drug use at the height of my addiction. Thank God for Recovery🙌
Regardless of what anyone says about him, it is evident by his choice of lyrical content that he’s struggling internally. I really hope he gets the help he desperately needs.... because this MASTERPIECE of a voice needs to be heard by a wider audience. He is truly a talent... and it’s going to be a waste soon if he does not seek help while he has any shred of insight left inside him.
Right? ! This guy's demons are intimidating. So few voices like that, especially in good music.
Jonny has a special talent where he can sing angelically and scream angelically. and all while being in R&B. Ive never heard that from a singer.
I hope he can heal from his addictions because I want to keep hearing new songs from him.
I've been listening to this song sober for the last couple of days. Listening to it drunk, I've teared up the minute the vocals came in. This song hits home, so hard.
So many chills! Jonny's voice never fails to be the best out there, every time I hear him on any track the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I get the shivers, damn this dude it siiiiick! This album is by far the best one yet, LIT!
I love this song and this video and this album 😭😭😭😭😭
Krissy Koinis why u crying lol this is brilliant
EXPOSING THE TRUTHERS crying because it's so good !!!!
Krissy Koinis I feel you
The progression on this one is something else!
Who is here, after watching Taylors video?
REAL JC fans have been here since Ghost Runner on Third.
... who?
Renopwns Gaming Exactly lol
what taylor video?
@@vanessawijaya845 taylor nicole dean
Y’all saying “he’s a terrible person but his voice is like butter” lol it’s mediocre at best.
Exactly. His nasal voice and basic music doesn't exactly make up for his shitty behaviour
Stefi no it doesn’t- but some of us wish he wasn’t such a horrible person so we could enjoy his music
Stefi agreed!
I'm new here so I don't really know anything about him. What is it that makes him a "Terrible Person"?
@@jcdenton4534 his voice people are jealous lol
New work is GOLD.
Pearly whites looking good brah
That Taylor Nicole Dean payed for ,and he broke them twice and got her addicted to heroin, such a great guy
40K paid for by someone else
Yeah wow amazing! After completely abusing such a wonderful woman who completely paid for his teeth and so many other things, and yet treating her so badly and making her experience such a terrible terrible time in her life, and becoming so desperate for his love that she was willing to shoot up heroin. What an amazing guy.
I'll be honest, I cried for the first time listening to this song in the car. His voice just gave me the chills when he screamed "Let's make a Pact right here, right now!" just brought me into tears. Beautiful song.
Who’s cutting onions?
A C there’s a group of about a dozen of them running from house to house every time someone hears this song.
Swiggity Swootie lmao 😂 but you gotta admit this album is their best work so far, so much emotion and passion in it!
I'm not crying you're crying
flesh colored scallions to be exact
bawlz?
i wish he would stay sober. so much talent
You can clearly hear that passion in his voice, and those feelings in the background. masterpiece
Without a doubt, this album is my favorite! It's amazing how this song comes straight to your heart at the right moment when you need to hear something like that! Thank you, I am so proud of all of you!
Unfortunate what demons he's been fighting his vocals are pretty amazing
Like being a rapist??
@@sophiaw9927 were you there? Or are you just going off someone's word? 🤔
@@jakesolberg7793 I was there.
One of their best. Their songwriting has gotten so much better! I love it! Keep it up!
2:57 makes me get goosebumps. I love your voice. I will forever be a fan ♡
just dont try to be his gf, he should not be aloud to be around women
@@grilldave demons make you do terrible things. wont always be that way lol. Saying that someone shouldnt be around women in general is a little extreme.
@@grilldave i could say the same about MOST singers and children.
@@grilldave did you mean ALLOWED? So quick to write something hateful that your ass is misspelling words lol
Facts the first time I heard him sing and rift, I’m like who is this band?! And burned there albums to memory 😅
I love how you can feel the pain, and love in this song. And the realization of where hes at, and where hes come from including how far he's come and how he can be open about it.
As an addict in recovery wresteling with what i am. I really appreciate the sentiment. Knowing the profound pain i suffer i do not suffer alone makes me feel so much better.
i remember listening to this song when I left my emotionally abusive boyfriend and how this song helped me and knowing all the things he did to taylor just makes this song change so much.
An abuser helped you heal from an abuser.. same though
Because, Jonny Craig is the King of this fucking Scene
Jonny Craig’s voice man! Always making me feel *goosebumps*
SidewaysTM yaa hes amazing
Man this song is so special to me. The words, the time in my life i first heard it, the relationship i was in. Music is so special. The ability to connect you and everything going on in your life. Slaves with Jonny will always bring me special memories. Beautiful death most beautiful album in Jonny's career.
Did that last vocal note he rung out give anyone else goosebumps? God DAMN.
this song deserves so much more recognition
Getting "Marvin's Room" vibes.
This is the Jonny Craig I've been waiting for. Beautiful work, fellas
Disabear exactly I love it lol
So awesome to hear Jonny really push himself vocally and lyrically. And the band sounds great too, need this Vinyl ASAP!
The most beautiful song Johnny has put out. Man, keep rising! You're still the greatest vocalist I've ever heard.
Jake Morse the greatest vocalist anybody’s ever heard. Some are just more then reluctant to admit.
Jake Morse I'd say Micheal Jackson has that honour for me but jonnys incredible all the same
Jake Morse yeah i can definently agree.
He could definitely still sing like he did in Emarosa. This is just a different kind of band. He had a cult following in Emarosa, but never blew up. With this band, he can reach a larger audience singing with more of a rock feel than a post-hardcore feel. He hasn't passed his prime.
“While I stay honest” ok mr. I’m not high(sorry if that’s mean I just saw the irony in the statement)
This vid is 5 years old you fucking incel.
@@zephyrirons4658 don't you see that all the comments are all from one month ago?
There's a reason...
Jillybean 1208 it’s not mean it’s true
Zephyr Irons actually 2 years ago stop being a bitch
Zephyr Irons sorry I’m just seeing this reply but I did say sorry if it was mean, no need to call me harsh names:(
This is the best new rock band in America. Period
Uh, Dance Gavin Dance? Secrets?
New? Lmao
Ahre
Never cried over such a beautiful song... Really hits home, I absolutely love this song.
I've had this song on repeat for the past few days, I absolutely love his voice.
Jonny should be in prison for all the hell hes brought upon the people who've tried to help him. He may be able to sing but hes a horrifying human being who should've have a platform at all until he fixes himself
what happened to jonny?
@@misaelmunoz8399 watch Taylor Nicole Dean last video
she's a greasy junkie who knew full week what she was walking into, did it anyways for clout and content. fucking groupie, they deserve each other... I don't feel sorry for her in the least. "all this trauma made me take up coke" hahaha what a child.
Addiction is a bitch.
We can all talk shit about Johnny but until you walk in his shoes, cant ever understand.
Drugs turn people into monsters. Best person can become your worst nightmare. Lived with one for almost a year and it was hell. Because you want to help, because you've seen the best part of them, but only they can help themselves.
He’s still the best singer in the game
I've been waiting for this album since I'd Rather See Your Star Explode dropped last summer. Jonny's voice is amazing!
Cristina M SAME!! Since the day "I'd rather see your star explode" was released, that's my most played song, on iTunes. There's only a few bands that I genuinely get nervous for, in terms of how good their new album is gunna be. Anything jonny does, is at the top of that list. I was not disappointed. Rarely does the album surpass, what I hope it will. Beautiful Death is incredible
Slaves just puts out great music and johnny’s voice just has so much emotion and you can feel it deep. I can’t get enough of this song.
My favorite song of the album. The entire album is amazing and really exerts the issues of regret, lonelines, guilt, arrogance, shame, and even optimism that one feels when going through unstable relationships. This album also portrays how broken we are and how we bring those bad qualities into relationships and expect things to fix themselves-not knowing that our only best help is from ourselves and not from anyone else.
He is a poetic genius and amazing singer . Everyone has Demons you just gotta try to beat your demons.
So what I listened to this 17 times in a row
I love when the song slows down and you just KNOW Jonny is about to go OFF! His voice is so amazing. There is So much emotion and passion in his voice and in his lyrics, its really inspiring. Hes come a long way and I love his journey.
This song is getting me through some *tougher days* in 2022. 🖤
His voice is really angelic
you are god damn right
The rest of the band couldn't compete.
cinapps well that’s why he’s the singer. No need to rub it in :c
His voice is, but his personality isn't. Please check out Taylor Nicole Dean's channel, she is his ex and her story is terrifying.
the king is back
This comment didn't age well...
Hes lost again
You can feel he’s emotions So much through this song, this is by far their best album, every song is so good and catchy, great job boys
This man's music has saved my life on more then one occasion! "I'll keep my purpose you keep your faith we can get through this these tougher days"!!!!! Wow
At least he ain't using blood to paint on these walls...
True
I bet you feel amazing knowing you’ve hurt so many people. I love you Taylor
Still a beautiful song
I just can’t help but feel for him. Addiction is a trauma response, never forget that.
yes, it is a spirit that enters your soul and makes you susceptible after trauma. But thank Jesus for calvery.
This artist is the reason why I love music and why I wanna get better in writing
This album is amazing, greatttt job!!!!
I really enjoy this song and his voice!!! Lyrics are amazing!
Best CD I’ve heard by anyone in a long time. All bangers
Everything johnny touches really turns to gold. Keep working your way up we, your fans will always be here to support you💖
WOW! you guys are getting better and better, enjoy the ride guys! amazing music, thank you!
THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDED.
THANK YOU oh my god I'm dying
You guys did it again, amazing album!!! Cant wait to see you guys live keep doing what your doing.
I still can’t believe that I can hear an ex-vocalist of my fav band on a radio! It makes me so happy omg
I want to love his music but damn. I’ll give it to him, he’s talented for sure. Get your shit together Jonny so I can support you again please. And for yourself too
U don't have to support a person actions. U can just like their music. Separate the music from the artist. It doesn't matter what a person has done, if the meaning is deep enough. Ignore what he has done. Support the music, don't support his actions.
@@kagenplayz Exactly!
@@StormKillzone hey they did it with Hitler, horrible guy but made the volkswagon, we appreciate the car not the creator
2:50 fucking chills every time.... one of the best vocalists i've ever heard
same
Every time I hear the line about his father I get a lump in my throat. Well played sirs.
I have been inspired by this phenomenal music all day! WOW!! This one had me jumping around and even shedding a few tears as I felt this soo deeply thinking of my wife and our love!! THANK YOU!!!!
this is beautiful ❤😍
Narcissistic personalities and drugs are a bad combo. Went full on rockstar ego before blowing up, wrong order. Hate that he can't hold it together long enough to stay in bands, monstrous talent.
The people who think hes a sociopath have no idea what drug addiction can manifest in someone. You dont have this depth in your writing and voice without genuine emotions.
This is a promise he wishes he could make, just like a lot of us. Now its just a haunting anthem of his failures.
I understand you brother. I am the same... Minus the incredible voice.
I get chills when Jonny holds his notes so goddamn good 😰
