Love this 💜
I always listened to Staind , Aron Lewis is alsome
That album got me through my high school years. Thanks staind
Raise your hand if you grew up on this song.
Me
+kitkat37399 I did and unfortunately I lived some of the worst parts of this song and it hits home every time i hear it. I went way off track.
+Jonathan Wright I've lived some parts of this song as well. I hits close to home for me. I understand, you weren't off the tracks.
kitkat37399 Thank you that means a lot. Just as this song means a lot to me. Im glad me and you are both still here to even talk about it because a lot of friends I knew aren't anymore.
+Jonathan Wright no problem. I too am glad we're both still here. Not too long ago I wasn't so sure I would be... I'm sorry you've lost friends along the way. That's a tough thing to swallow. I'm sure they're in a better place.
Aaron lewis is so underated. he's a legend in my book
Christenc vcDavis crtgfrvrrfv
One of the best live singers
Sooo right, the best ever!!!!
he's a legend in a lot of books
underated ? no. he is a star now.
Got chills when everyone started to sing along. Cool shit.
the man can write a tortured soul song like no one else can
+American Beard Oil Alliance I agree besides his idol/friend Layne Staley... before his OD death. You can go back to an old Staind record anf find a song called "Layne" that he made after Layne Staley from Alice in Chains death. I love Arron but no one could sing a tortured soul song like Layne. Aaron is the only person to ever cover "Nutshell" and make me happy that someone ever TRIED to touch that song. Layne would of been happy. I absolutely love Aarom by himself just doing whatever he wants. He is a very very truly talented musician in multipl
@@jonathanwright2925 i absolutely love Layne, the song as well as the Legend,both.
Always loved him as a 30 year old. I’m 53 and excited to see him in concert in 2 months
It's amazing that this video is still being played strong even in 2019! thanks everyone! :)
This song will be played till the world dies
Great music is timeless. Thanks for putting it up!
2019 🙌🏻
Best version, best audience they rocked it. I love this video because the audience and how much they appreciate Aaron. You can tell it meant a lot to him.
Hows that?
Aaron Lewis has now the best voice in music, it was Cris Cornell God rest his soul
It's so rare to find someone who sounds almost exactly the same live as on the album...and fuck me if he doesn't almost sound better live.
He sounds so much better live
The recording doesn't do it justice
Worth the money to see him
@@John.strong Live is just so much more personal. You can feel and hear emotion much better
That's why i love aaron and chester they sound better than studio.
......this song brings tears of extreme pain to joy..... powerful song with a lot great meaning to me.... as i am i recovering addict....7yrs 8months 17 days clean... happy i got beautiful wife, 2 healthy kids but no doubt the demons of addiction haunt me everyday.... thank god power of family, friends, god n music as this are here to help to keep on trucking...
+Brandon Reekie keep it up dude. We are all on a path to a better life and it is always a struggle. Don't let the demons catch you and ruin all you have accomplished....most importantly those 2 kids. Is it easy? Nope! Is it totally worth it? YUP!
+xraeddie i appreciate, feel n hear ya bud...thank you 👍
+Brandon Reekie Any advice??
amen brother i feel ya.. seven months clean its amazing what song can do.. nothing beats a song that makes you realize how messed up your life is.. i was in bed taking a hand full of pills and drinking when this song came on one night and i totally broke down and lost it and saw how much help i really needed.
+Jessica Dunn best advice jess i can give is take the first step and admit you are an addict then get help. its the toughest door to open IMO....there is the long battle the rest of your life, its not easy but i was fortunate to move and change people, places and things to start over, without that id be dead or in jail. thats me... i have a cousin that had same addiction, living in same area and 10yrs clean. everyone has their own path, its just very tough to start... you need to believe in yourself again, which you can, EVERYONE can!! i was also fortunate to have great family, friends, faith n music. there is also a song by "sad brad smith" called "help yourself" to me one of or the most powerful song that touch me on my addiction....... good luck Jessica and never stop believing in yourself, take that first step to open up that door you see n feel your old self....but them damn demons wont and will hold you back, you can beat them!!!
I still get fucking chills listening to this song after all these years...
Flawless...
absolutely
moondreamerfairy it's timeless
FLAWLEES INDEED
moondreamerfairy i get such a feeling playing this through my sax . like no other, eye watering everytime.
fuck yeah
Imagine how good it would feel, to put all of your heart into a song, sing it live and hear it sung right back to you. :)
I'm 11 months sober off a 20 year addiction to opiates. This song gets me right in the feels everytime. This song explains it perfectly along with "Nutshell" by AIC
Jeremy Bennett
I hope you are still clean and living life to the best of your ability!
Jeremy Bennett congrats dude. Keep it up!!
Yes!
Nutshell!
Congrats!
Keep going mate! i know how hard this is!
Take care of your self brother. From one fool too another. Your got this!
Hearing a crowd sing along is one of my favorite things about music. It brings everyone together.
This song kept me sober when I first got out of my rehab. Gotta love Aaron I'm 4 years clean in 2 months!!! =)
Hannibal Lector MD Congrats brother, keep it up!
How does a song keep you sober I understand a song can help when u are down.
But if you want to use nothing will stop your demons
@@4ledbury still sober bro?
Good job. Proud of this. Aaron inspires so many.
Hes all legit, he doesnt have help singing, he doesnt have an ear piece, so legendary.
I am DraMa7iX exactly!
@@coreycoffey4329 had ass guy pure natural
Usually the crowd singing along with live recordings is annoying. But it was stunning here for some reason.
It's a different mentality in other countries. They are there to appreciate the artist and the performance. Here in 'merica people go to concerts to get drunk and sing or talk the whole time. There is actually a video around somewhere of Aaron getting pissed at the crowd for not shutting the hell up while he's singing his soul out
It sounds like he's performing to a small audience in a play room or something though.
I remember MARINATING to this song many years ago.....impending divorce....addicted....losing so much to an addict who "didn't have a problem. " It helped me find God...Funny how one thing, a song, led me to a new life....Thanks Aaron.
I love how awesome the crowd was during this concert. They cheer and clap at the correct times and for an appropriate time. Music is why everyone is there and they allow him to play and for everyone to hear!
A man. A mic. A guitar.
This is music.
anyone else here in 2019
Right here !!

Feb 2020 and I'll be a Lewis fan forever!
Does 2021 count? 😁
never get tired of listening to this man
Absolutely love this version. He sounds like he's reaching out when he sings. He is a truly talented musician.
This song touches my soul because I went through depression and lost the love of my life. I struggled to get back to myself and this song helped me. I am proud to say Aaron Lewis’s songs Lost and Lonely, I Lost It All, and this song made me realize that man I was isn’t who I am. I am happy to back to the loving man I was and will always be from now on.
This is probably the best live version of this song I’ve heard. Perhaps the best version period. Aaron has a lot of passion in his voice
He wasn’t anticipating how many lives this song would touch 👍🏼🇺🇸
Break the Cycle cd by Staind changed my life. Every song affected me so much. Outside was the first time I heard Aaron sing and I froze in my car. I had never heard lyrics like this and he pierced my soul with that voice. I have chaged so much since that time 16 years ago. I am in college taking psychology classes. Thank you Aaron for the story I love this song.
The craziest part is, Aaron made up the lyrics of that song on the spot besides the chorus. Super talented guy
For 8 years I can not forget my woman who left me while I was in the army. This song helps me to live with this pain all this time
Totally eternal, still resonates today as much as it it did when it was first released. Aaron Lewis is easily the overlooked voice of a generation
I've never felt so connected to one band or one artist before I started listening to Aaron. I feel every single song. I just want to make this post a thank you to Aaron. Thank you for every single song you have written. They mean so much to me, as I'm sure they do to many others also.
This man touches my soul with his music...Truly a prophet
No point in asking if someone’s still listening to this in whatever year for likes. Cause this song will always be loved cause it hits those special and messed up memories for everyone. There’s always two moments for someone listening to this song. When they enjoy it cause the quality of the song, and when you listen to it again later in life and truly feel this song.
Probably the best rock voice i have ever heard.
What? lmao
He's great, but what?
Curtis Wallen well? you said whaaaaaa???? give us your taste. if your gonna question, comply.
he's up there. Draiman of Disturbed is in contention IMO.
Robert Plant, Ozzy, Dio, Freddie Mercury, Roger Daltrey, Chris Cornell, Shannon Hoon, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Stevie Nicks, Grace Slick.... should I continue? Dude is great, but to say greatest of all time is a long shot when you consider how many voices you have to compare to.
I want to see him live so badly.
If you have the opportunity, you definitely should! He puts on an awesome show :)

Over and over again, I get chills listening to him. He touches my soul. His voice is phenomenal.
In my opinion, there isn’t an artist today who plays and sings with more emotion and conviction that Mr. Aaron Lewis! If I could steal a voice from anyone in history it would be this man!! God his music hits me hard!!!
first off Arron is fucking amazing and people dont understand how unbelievable difficult it is to sing and pick at the same time on guitar
keith mattox He is amazing! He has that country rock & roll voice. I love it! Plus I have a thing for acoustics. This is absolutely amazing! His song voice and his guitar pickn 2!
keith mattox I understand it because I do it. And I work my fucking ass off to be able to do it. To some people it just comes natural. But I woodshed two hours a night for the last 15 years
loved this as a kid and it's still as good as it was back then, now I've gone through tough times and heartache and this song means more than ever
Please time, please just let me go back one time to re-live that summer many years ago where we were free and happy
Awesome crowd! I always imagine what it must feel like, to write a song, perform it live and have the whole audience sing its words along with you. It must feel amazing.
I'm that guy in the corner right now and when I sing this song EVERYBODY comes up and listens. This song also happened similarly in my life.
Wow, to this day this song is such therapy for me. Thank you Aaron Lewis for sharing your gift with the world, much gratitude.
Aaron Lewis is very inspiring. Love his songs, always will.
Staind
He is a legend ! For him to do a rock to country cross over is freakin awesome ! Love both genre of music that he has done ! Love you Aaron Lewis !
I love how he incorporates a bit of that country twang in his voice now makes his Staind material sound better imo!!
Amen brother, was thinking the same thing
Amen brother, was thinking the same thing
Amen brother, was thinking the same thing
he actually is a country artist now.
Holy Shit,it been 9 years September 7th 2007 since I laid down the bottle and the pills that was the day my son was born after my dad passed away i went out of controls very powerful song.
Aaron Lewis and his music are instant classics
Anyone blessed with a beautiful voice has the power to make positive changes in this crazy unpredictable world love to all may your gift make a positive impact in this world
His acoustic gigs are amazingly moving.
few shots of Jack and my guitar and finding this songs makes me pause and nearly tear up. Thankyou Aaron Lewis trying to cover and learn the lyrics of your work has gotten me through a rough time these past three weeks. If I did not have music like yours here to show me what is still possible out there, then I doubt I would have ever picked my guitar up again after the hardest change in my life. Thankyou, Its a honor to cover your songs, and I hope I will not dissapoint you, if I ever see you
love this guy!!! makes all the difference when he plays live!!
... he makes me believe that there are really good singers now days !!
One of my favorite songs, this acoustic version with the steel guitar is grand!!
Don't apologize to this tool. You're doing us all a favor. Thanks brother.
listen to his country songs, that's who Aaron Lewis really is, him and his guitar, that's talent, the man is a bad ass, hands down
1909 and still listening to this one. Oh I miss the year 2011.
Favorite artist of all time he knocks down all the doors to music!country rick metal he can do it all!love him!!!
#1 17 weeks straight!!! Hey hey hey hey
amazing, his voice travels thru my entire body,,, whatever he's singing,,, talent in its rawest form
+clover svea That is when a person sings from their soul and means it. Not from their wallet
After all I've been through in the last few years, this song has changed meaning for me. It's been a while since I met this pain.
Hearing everyone sing along was killer from the US👍
Aaron Lewis can sing ANYTHING...I’ll buy it!
This song defined a generation and im proud to say I'm part of it.
I have never commented on any video(s) on you tube....but felt it necessary to express my appreciation for the incredible videos of this London performance. I've seen Aaron Solo a handful of times and never found any recordings close to this quality. Thanks again!!!!
This mans music and lyrics have saved my life so many times....he fucken sings my life, sometimes i wonder how the hell he jumped in my brain amd expressed a lot of feelings and shit i had/ have inside. ...battling addiction and alcoholism for over 20 yrs can be the worst demon anyone can face l...thank u for your music sir u are my poet...
i love how everyone used to hate this song, until the band got good, then when it was put on an album, it was the most played song for a decade...
Aaron Lewis, one of the realest in the industry 💯
This is no doubt the best crowd ive seen at any of his performances during his solo tour. I would love to attend one of his concerts on his solo tour with a group of folks as well behaved as you guys were. Randomly select 3 videos from here in the states and you will find on all 3 of them some drunk idiots screaming out and interrupting him every other second. I would like to say nice job and thank you for posting these.
while i was waiting for him to sing, i really got excited after not hearing for so long... and for you who think he is underated, he was never underated... we grew up with his songs, he is the man.
this is the crown the man deserves every concert
This man's voice is awesome. There's just nothing like it
I KNOW I FOR ONE COULD NEVER TIRE OF LISTENING TO AaRON SEXY VOICE & HIS LYRICS THAT ALWAYS SEEM TO HIT RITE HERE IN MY HEART... YOU KNOW!!!
Went to his country concert Thursday night and he did this song, and broke out in a insane scream while doing this song. Best version I've ever heard
I would pay all the money i have to listen to this song over and over i love this song
It's a awesome song 🤘🏻
Hell yea 😘
Aaron Lewis, you put on one great show! If you get the chance to see him....do not pass up the chance.
Best live version
His voice just goes right through you. Amazing.
one of my all time favorites. he is soooo talented
I love where he has taken his music. Awesome.
It took years of hearing them on the radio, and now recently, going through some shit, listening to them non-stop, I can say I love staind and Aaron Lewis. Such good song writing and just as good of performances. Thank you for your music.
Still loving him!!
+Ms GiGi I hope he makes another tour for UK, I'll be going

I would play this song around 1am at uofs library when I was doing my undergraduate degree. I can recall scrolling through my Facebook and her picture would randomly pop up. I would then proceed to have a smoke and play until her image faded.
Man this song brings back some happy memories. Aaron Lewis is a model for a perfect man.
Gotta love how everyone joined in... can't stop thinking about it;););););)
What a great voice this man has it’s like a twang it’s great
chills and feels immediately love this guy he was a big part of my childhood even helped me get thru a divorce a true god amongst men
My ENTIRE bucket list, right here,. Want to see him live, and meet him. Thanks I could die a happy woman!!

PS ive got dank
#1 played song played for a "decade". Yeah! I'd say he has his whiskers. Great job brother.
How TF does this not have more views? One of the best intro's and live performances i've seen
Just got clean off opiates (again) but man I can't wait to use the its been a while since I been addicted line
Chris Vicious 209 I know all too well what you're going through. People say addiction is addiction but an opiate addiction is like having a demon latched on to you with claws embedded all the way into your soul. It really is different....
Tara Santistevan seriously is one of the worst things a person can go through. its he'll on your body,mind,and spirit. I spent ten of the best years of my life wasted and buy my dealers new cars while I was ripping my family apart. I am one of the only ones left in the group instarted with thats still alive. most died by either overdosing or suicide. I finally got my Shit together when my daughter was born. I realized I wasted so much time and became someone I hated. I almost never said an honest thing. I have so much to do for all the hearts and bridges I've burnt. once you get out of that deep fog of addiction you realize what is really important and that family. they are the only ones that stick by your side. I never even got a letter or anything from all my so called using friends when I was in rehab, jail, or prison. I broke down when I saw how much of a toll I took out on my family. I'm never going down that road again. I never want my daughter to ever see what I once was. I know it's easy to fall back into addiction however you have to constantly be aware of who you are and what brings you down. if you get to content chances are it's only time before the storm hits. prayers go out to all those struggling don't wait to hit bottom ask for help lower your pride it's to easy to be known as the f up. it takes a bigger person to do the rite thing and make something out of yourself.
Tara Santistevan: that's the damn truth "a demon latched onto you" & no one understands but you
i'm on them heavily now. THEY help me so much. But good lord when I Run out the demon inside comes out for sure.
Savage Tilley Don't know how old you are man but seriously, work out a date to kick for good, start cutting down slow up to that date and then stock up on whatever you need to get through that first 10 days. Valium, sleeping pills, hit the docs for something to help with the pain in the legs etc, try anything and everything that works. Otherwise you'll just dive downhill fast and your life will vanish, i know it helps at times but I swear man, that will soon pass and you'll just be taking it to stay alive. Goodluck
This man has more natural talent with just his voice and a guitar than anyone else I know of!
How could you leave your seat after hearing him start playing his song.
oh awesome! the show was incredible.. can't wait to see him again in the future
I’ve heard every live version of this song acoustic and with the band but man this is by far the best version ever
Not sure how the bars wouldn't like this song. I'd think it'd be one of those songs that would resonate with most people at those bars.
I'm not allowed to listen to him around my nephew anymore. I listened and cried for hours once brokenhearted till he threatened to throw the CD out the window lol.
Can we talk about that gorgeous guitar?
I love this song,,,,and it's really cool how the crowd is singing along...
THEREALCANNA this song will be available to download for free from my website soon www.viewfromthepit.co.uk keep checking the site... it will be live soon, just need to configure a few things first
De rice always loved this song when I was younger… I thought it hit me hard then but I was a kid… never knew it would mean as much as it does now 20 years later… it’s like a fortune teller… but where’s the fortune
