its incredibly how matty has a great relationship with his dad and everything but wrote this song for all of those he knew who didnt and wanted them to have a song that would touch them this mouch
Luis Barbosa yes, kellin mcgregor was also a major writer for this album, but i read somewhere that matty wrote it. i cant tell you where it was so i dont know for a fact that it is true, so that could very well be the explaination
***** i know all of them helped write but i could have sworn i read an article where matty said that he wrote this song in particular for the reason of giving those who had no fatherly relationship a song to relate to. Its very possible he wrote it with the guidence of the other members as well, but yeah, i think their whole band is bery involved in the writing process
Memphis May Fire will always be one of the best bands to ever touch this genre of music and they'll always be my personal favorite. Live long guys, and keep the goodies coming!
@@hollow_in_side_8305God forbid they evolve and experiment with new music. Their new album remade in misery isn't soft. Too many haters, true fans will support MMF
No matter how many excuses a parent may have or have justified they make themselves, and no matter how much you love that parent, there will always be a feeling of abandonment when they leave. Single parents deserve gold medals.
My favorite genre will always be heavy metal. It's viewed as one of the most violent genres, but it's actually the most loving, genuine genre there is, along with the fans. The songs have such deep meanings that a lot of us can relate to. this song is an example, and it really speaks to me. My dad was an alcoholic. He was physically and emotionally abusive to my mom and I. He had horrible anger issues and usually took it out on me. He's the reason why I have so many internal and external scars, and I'm only thirteen years old.
+Maddie lewis What really grinds my gears is when they say all it is, is a bunch of violent screaming people who worship Satan. Don't know if you've gotten that from people, but before I got into the heavier scene that's what people told me so I stayed away. If you ever get that just print out the lyrics to a The Amity Affliction song Lost and Fading or Shine On or any Memphis May fire song and watch their expression change. The lyrics are what draw me into a band. That and a good screamer/singer with great guitar. Memphis May Fire has grown and are far from violent.
I cry every time I listen to this song, it reminds me of my mom. She was always out drinking and cheating on my dad while my dad was home taking care of me and my sisters.. She finally left, and honestly I don't miss her at all.. I'm just lacking that mother figure, y'know?
Not defending your mother but she did carry you for 9 months and brought you into this world. It's okay to forgive, I'm sure she still loves you. The hate will go away, I promise!
I grew up with out loving parents. My dad left us. Matty, i love you so much. I could relate to your songs than any other band....(besides Crown the Empire) but... You.... Y'all... Helped me alot
My dad left my family and i didnt see him that often for a while. But he came back and is a big part of my life. This song explains how i felt at the beginning
Same. My father I never really knew that we'll until just a year ago. I'm into my older teens now but ever since he's seen what I've grown to be he aspires to teach me the responsibilities of growing into a mature adult.
I feel for all of the people that post expressing relation to this song. I could never even pretend to understand your hurt inside. I pray that you may replace that void with the unending love of the Heavenly Father.
I think about you everyday. I am sorry for not mustering the strength when i had the chance to climb out of this hole of drugs and depression...i am sorry. then again i felt i stood no chance to the path my genetics and life experiences led me to. if you think im having fun. im not. I know i will never fully be a man until i take care of my child.
Losing my daughters to a toxic mom has been the most painful moment in my life. Every day, my heart crys out to hear their voice or see them...just for a second. 🙏 God help me!
This is the song I listen to when I’m outside deep in my thoughts.. Everytime it strikes my heart. The way I relate. Memphis May Fire killed it with this whole album. They have become my favorite band within my heart. I wish I knew my father and hell, even my mother too.. Thank you MMF for all the heart touching songs.
Took my daughter to see them in L.A., they killed it. Because of a divorce, she doesnt speak to me any more. So when i hear those words. "Do you even know I'm alive" it breaks my heart. I miss you Katie! 😢
My dad is an alcoholic. Funny how he acts as if he never did anything wrong My mom left him and took me and my sisters with her He stalked and wouldn't accept it All that is over now but there is so much I've had to keep in over the years that i don't think I'll ever be able to let out Thanks dad for all the emotional scarring you've caused and I'm not even 15 yet
Dubhe Nepomuceno I'd use only the "their parents were killed in front of them." Because I always thought about killing my parents, which kept me far away from actually doing it, but satisfied me well enough. :> But I'm a wierdo, so... Probably subjective. :D
Ive listened to very minimum MMF songs, but once i heard this song, i instantly fell in love. Im an adoption child and the story goes my "parents" wanted to try without protection, mom got ptegnant, dad hightailed it, and mom was forced to put me up. Idk about any of you other adoption guys and girls, but ever since i found out, ive always had this sense of Darkness inside of me. Like im Supposed to be like my father or mother. Idk, it could just be me, but it scares me alot
I've searched through youtube without luck... did they ever played this song live? I'm getting more and more into this band, and this is the song that has to have a live version!
See? It's music like this that I can appreciate. To hell with Lil Wayne and Drake. This kind of music sends a message, a message with a hell of a lot more meaning then sex, drugs, drinking, and money. This music actually means something. Music isn't only supposed to sound good, it's supposed to make a change with it's lyrics.
Words cannot describe how much I love this song. I love all MMF's music. Whenever I get to that place where I feel like my heads about to explode I just blast MMF as loud as I can and sing/scream along with Matty.
I'd always just liked this song but never really read the lyrics, then I bothered read them and found out it described my childhood, the feels, like seriously. Or the irony idefk,
This song was in my suggestion box. I've heard of the band but never listened. So anyways i clicked on it and within the first 32 seconds i was in love. I live this song. I am also now a fan of the band as of about 2 minutes ago.
The very first song I ever heard from them and quickly listened to every song MMF has, gotta say The Hollow is the best album with Challenger and Unconditional right behind. Sleepwalking not so much a fan of..
that begging just kills me everytime. this is the best album ive ever heard in my entire life and really one of the only albums u can listen to without skipping over a song. this band is fucking amazing
@@losoka ooh thank you for this- your comment got me listening to this song again hahaha well i would definitely recommend this entire album - The Hollow. still one of my all time favourites (including songs like The Victim, The Reality, The Sinner) there’s also some of the songs off Challenger (Prove Me Right, Vices, Legacy), aaand some of the songs on their latest album Remade In Misery (Blood & Water, Bleed Me Dry, Make Believe, Death Inside) just a side note: i’d also definitely recommend checking out their older stuff like the Sleepwalking album (Quantity is Their Quality) and Between The Lies EP! hope you enjoy diving into MMF’s discography 😊
He's not complaining! This actually has meaning to it, at least to me it has meaning. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that this song means something to!!!
Holy shit this song tells the story of my life perfectly. Memphis May Fire you are the first band to bring a tear to my eye. Congrats on making this badass tune guys.
Mostly i am listening to metal, for the music and not for the lyrics, but i think this one is the first metal-song that exactly describes words i feel and cant bring out.. Great song.
leave him alone, he see's music the way most people do, a quick way to make money, not a way to get everything inside out with a enough passion to burn a hole in a heart. i'm glad someone understands that music is a way of life, and some "musicians" don't deserve it...
OHMYJESUS. If you have surround speakers or surround headphones, close your eyes and take in the sick bassdrop in the beginning. It even made my fish cry.
My dad recently left back to Mexico, he would always treat my mom, sister, and i like shit. Went through a lot with him. Last time I saw him was like a few months ago, he just stared at me, didn’t try to say anything to me, he left, and he never said goodbye to me. I don’t hate him and I don’t wish him bad, but I just wish he could’ve said something to me.
Have faith, brother. Your Dad was overwhelmed by some spirit of shame. He is not as bad as you think. But he is lost, and he needs your prayers, and your forgiveness. Believe it or not, you will need your forgiveness more than anyone. You will have to overcome a spirit of rejection. It is important to remember that Jesus died for your sins. and he died to set you free from the bondage that is rejection.
My dad abandoned me about 2 years ago. Of course that was not the first time. I do not believe he is coming back this time though. Honestly, I never did really know him that well. When he was here, he was a drunkard.
I was ever since 4 without a father. and all my life I have ben trying to get to him. But drugs are too important in hos eyes than his own child, he could care less ^^*. This song, touches me so deeply. Brings tears to my eyes almost. I relate to it like omg so much..
its incredibly how matty has a great relationship with his dad and everything but wrote this song for all of those he knew who didnt and wanted them to have a song that would touch them this mouch
i heard the guitarist wrote a lot of the album, maybe that's it?
Luis Barbosa yes, kellin mcgregor was also a major writer for this album, but i read somewhere that matty wrote it. i cant tell you where it was so i dont know for a fact that it is true, so that could very well be the explaination
Maybe it was kellin's idea for the song and matty just happen to rip the words from his mind out? who knows, either way awesome track!
***** i know all of them helped write but i could have sworn i read an article where matty said that he wrote this song in particular for the reason of giving those who had no fatherly relationship a song to relate to.

He's a really good writer then@@luisbarbosa1958

by far, my favorite song from Memphis May Fire. the lyrics hit me the core, like if Matty Mullins knew what I said to my dad years ago. ...
I cry every time I listen to this song, it reminds me of my mom. She was always out drinking and cheating on my dad while my dad was home taking care of me and my sisters.. She finally left, and honestly I don't miss her at all.. I'm just lacking that mother figure, y'know?
Understandable.

Eh cheaters are shitty people in general
@@chuckcastle7709sometimes some parents could care less about their children
Womp womp L
I grew up with out loving parents. My dad left us. Matty, i love you so much. I could relate to your songs than any other band....(besides Crown the Empire) but... You.... Y'all... Helped me alot
Crown the empire is amazing >.>
I love Crown the Empire! \|^0^|/
Lol
It's not just Matty's songs, it's the whole band's. (:
Mattys voice in the chorus is fucking amazing.

God, I miss this MMF sooooo much. This album brings back so many memories for me.
This song still majorly hits home with me.
do I ever even cross your mind.
just for a second
......do you know I'm ALIVE!!!
I think about you everyday. I am sorry for not mustering the strength when i had the chance to climb out of this hole of drugs and depression...i am sorry.

This is for my dad that left me in a one bedroom apartment to take care of my little brother while he was out for days with some woman he barely knew
Logan Williams I'm sorry babe
Happy Father's Day Dad. This song goes out to you. Thanks for never being here for me. Love, Your Not-So-Much Daughter
best intro for me
ive heard this song about 39842 times but never even knew all the lyrics. best album in the genre. I will say it.
This song is like my life story. I'm also able to relate to beneath the skin and the rose.
same
This is the song I listen to when I’m outside deep in my thoughts..
Everytime it strikes my heart. The way I relate.
Memphis May Fire killed it with this whole album. They have become my favorite band within my heart.
I wish I knew my father and hell, even my mother too..
Thank you MMF for all the heart touching songs.
this literally explains my life
Also listen to "Verah Falls- Pariah" "Secrets-The best you can't be" and "Ice Nine Kills- Father's Day"
Bronson Morris its almost like they want more stalkers
on god
Love ya man
Took my daughter to see them in L.A., they killed it. Because of a divorce, she doesnt speak to me any more. So when i hear those words. "Do you even know I'm alive" it breaks my heart. I miss you Katie! 😢
My dad is an alcoholic.
Funny how he acts as if he never did anything wrong
My mom left him and took me and my sisters with her
He stalked and wouldn't accept it
All that is over now but there is so much I've had to keep in over the years that i don't think I'll ever be able to let out
Thanks dad for all the emotional scarring you've caused and I'm not even 15 yet
To feel better, always remember someone is starving somewhere because their parents were killes in front of them. That worked for me.
Dubhe Nepomuceno Oh yeah that thought really raises my spirits.
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
Dubhe Nepomuceno
I'd use only the "their parents were killed in front of them." Because I always thought about killing my parents, which kept me far away from actually doing it, but satisfied me well enough. :> But I'm a wierdo, so... Probably subjective. :D
HighTidesGaming lol right
My father left me at birth. I just recently met up with him today, I gave him what he deserved, 19 years of fathers day presents.
That intro guitar riff 😍
I love this song so much i was so young when it dropped and still love it been playing it again alot recently
"You're such a lemon pie!!!" @ 0:55 seconds
Do. You know, I'M A LIME??
Wow I know that these comments are old but you guys are awesome😂
+Lance McQuesten i saw this comment as it was being sung hahaha xD perfect timing
Can't unhear it now, fuck...
WHY!? I can't unhear it now!
This song just proves how much better this style of music is than any other, because it perfectly relates to so many people.
01: 30 - 01:45 Love that part wish it was longer!!
Yeah that part is awesome! Maybe because it is short, it has a great impact. If it would be longer, maybe it wouldn't sound as special.
+Obi-Wan Shalomi yes thats treu
This is Memphis May Fire at their best. I swear this album was such a game changer when it released, those were the days.
Ive listened to very minimum MMF songs, but once i heard this song, i instantly fell in love.

the intro is so bad ass

Memphis may fire is sooo good, it still sounds great and I haven't heard this in years.
holy fuck this song is powerfull
Omg no new comments. I listen to this song often. Hits home. Love you guys
Fvck i still love this song!!
Such a great song. I met my dad once when I was 4 or 6. Never saw him again. Can definitely relate
why the f**ck does Memphis May Fire NEVER play this song live?
IKR!!!
its the ABANDONED
samohhTx I see what you did there....XD
They played it at Warped tour two years ago
It's a very difficult song vocally. So they probably don't want to put undue strain on Mattys voice
They were the third concert I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget it, it was so loud my ears were ringing for hours after lol.
to my parents: I LOVE YOU BOTH !.............................. this song does not apply to you.
Songs like this just make me feel so many things I didn't want to feel in the first place
"no matter how hard I tried"
all my feels to the black people listening to this
Black or not people all around the word of all sorts of colors, get abandoned.
***** Fuck off.
Fucker
***** AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHASHAHAHAHAH
+Master Chief It's not funny, It's racist!
Still a great song!!!
that begging just kills me everytime. this is the best album ive ever heard in my entire life and really one of the only albums u can listen to without skipping over a song. this band is fucking amazing
The lyrics send chills down my spine every single time i listen to this !!. My all time favorite band ever !!.
I love how much passion Matty always puts into his singing.
lyrics are so deep.. i love them.
It hits harder everytime u listen to it
This song gives me chills every time i listen to it, and it's been well over a year now.
9 years later and nothing‘s changed-
still an excellent song, amazing album, fantastic band
@@ishawarmas do they have any similar sounding songs like this?
@@losoka ooh thank you for this- your comment got me listening to this song again hahaha
well i would definitely recommend this entire album - The Hollow. still one of my all time favourites (including songs like The Victim, The Reality, The Sinner)

I remember when they just started out and I promoted them on twitter. They've come so far. Great talent.
Oh & I this is my favorite album by Memphis May Fire and one of my favorites of all time.
I just found this band, new favourite song for sure!
no joke...this made me cry...this hit home way too much
Perfect song, the best of the album The Hollow..
I listen to this before wrestling matches, and it gets me PUMPED!
So much emotion in this song
Only started listening to this band in the past 30 minutes, and i'm already a huge fan! their lyrics are simply fantastic! :D
Favorite album.
Listening to this today in father's day, thanks for never being there with me.
Rise picked up a gem of a band with this one! This song slaps hard af!
How can anyone dislike this video,this is such a great song and band. Love you memphis may fire!!
so much feeling and power in this song. simply amazing.
That guitar during the verses makes it so epic!
When he says "You said you loved me but..." I always hear "You're such a lovely bird!"
So I'm pretty much obsessed with this song right now.. Best song in the entire world!!
He's not complaining! This actually has meaning to it, at least to me it has meaning. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that this song means something to!!!
I really like mmf because you can hear the sadness in the yells/ screams, so you know its true pain.
Holy shit this song tells the story of my life perfectly. Memphis May Fire you are the first band to bring a tear to my eye. Congrats on making this badass tune guys.
Still one of my favorite songs. So good.
Mostly i am listening to metal, for the music and not for the lyrics, but i think this one is the first metal-song that exactly describes words i feel and cant bring out..
Great song.
2021 anyone? This came on while I was driving home from work, straight jammy.
matt's clean vocals are so pure and amazing and his screams are so intense love it
leave him alone, he see's music the way most people do, a quick way to make money, not a way to get everything inside out with a enough passion to burn a hole in a heart. i'm glad someone understands that music is a way of life, and some "musicians" don't deserve it...
that intro makes my subwoofers happy, and subsequently, my ears are happy too.
my first time listening to these guys. All I can say is DAMN!
I literally listened to like 3 songs, and immediatly bought this album. these guys deserve the support and shi theyre majorlly talented.
This song fuels the rage I have towards my parents, I see so many others that feel the same way
i just found mmf like 30mins ago and holy crap they are amazing they are the only band ive seen with no red bar
his screams in this song are just so powerful and angry, i love it
i have to say thats some kick ass bass + with the right mix of vocals = siriuosly badass . i love this shit . so awsome
i grew up happily with both parents, and this song still gets to me just to know that anyone could feel that kind of pain!
OHMYJESUS. If you have surround speakers or surround headphones, close your eyes and take in the sick bassdrop in the beginning. It even made my fish cry.
my favorite one out of the album!!!!!
Damn its been a whole year and i'm still listening to the hollow album
i can relate to this song so well, listening to it makes feel like im not alone.
i like how ever songs starts with 'the'
these guys are sick
These lyrics are relayed perfectly with his voice and melody. Wow
