This was my best friends favorite song, everytime I hear it I have to turn it off because I simply get too emotional. Today would've been his 19th birthday, I'm listening to it all. Happy birthday bud. I love you, and miss you so much everyday
Wow. Idk if your friend gave up on life or had it taken from him... but to the ones who are thinking about giving up so young... Dont under estimate youreself. ANYONE whose dedicated can make a change in the world after findng your Tallent in 10 years Like like Shaun did here. Never give up on yourself or more importantly the children / grandchildren you will have to guide in your future.
Shaun is normal a guy that can give a lot of power and passion live, but in this version he is also very emotional. You can feel that he needed the song that day as anyone else out there.
This song hits soo many on soo many levels. We all feal defeat at some point in our lives, maybe everyday. Love you guys, keep making songs that we can all relate to:)
Not a single negative comment, that's when you know it must be good! Always loved Shaun's live performances, him, Aaron Lewis and Corey Taylor would be sick together
i dont care where in the world that show happens , i will be there , now throw 10 years in that show and i'm ready to die after that one , nowhere to go but down from there, all acoustic , . f#ckin A right
100% agree. As a musician myself it’s not the cord missed or the difference in key as artists play their hearts out for others. No matter the artist, the song, arrangement, or whether it’s a song of their catalog or a cover. It’s the ability of the artist to be able to on the fly snap of a finger switch things up or to keep the song solid despite a mistake or even a broken cord. Shows he talent actually to arrange it for a solo acoustic for a specific event.. Implore all to watch the video of Mitch and Rich Robinson from the black crowes doing thorn in my pride acoustic. It’s labeled as brothers of a feather concert thorn in my pride. Watch him snap a cord continue for three mins till a place to pause that arrangement for a three second guitar swap only to continue the last three or so mins of the jam!
no words can quite explain just how much this song was torn straight from the depths of my soul, i really thought no one else knew pain like i do , till i heard this song , his vocals , the combination , don't know if anyone else experiences this but afterwards , i feel relief , strange , but holy shit
I completely get you, music brings me through every emotion, but always leaves me better in the end.. couldn't live without it! And yeah, every single word of this song... it feels as if it was written for me, or by me, and the way Shaun sings it, the emotion he puts into it, you can feel that he's singing from his own personal experiences. This is arguably my favorite video of this song as well. Not sure if it's because he's in SA or singing in front of his family, but it just sounds so much better than most other live performances on videos that I've seen, even with the audience's singing. lol I'm super grateful this guy uploaded it though. I've watched it heaps over the years, but never commented till I saw yours and kinda felt compelled to.
We all feel it bro.. Playing those heart strings like a fiddle.. If theres a more real and relatable song about regret and loss i havnt heard it yet. Makes the hair stand up on my arms.. No shit! Damn good doesnt give it justice.. Genius is all i can say
His music is so powerful for anyone that has experienced loss, he writes so much from the pain, always wonder how he does not lose it. I would, miss you brother!
This song was my old band mates favorite song for the longest time, would always bang on about it, we loved it also. Fast forward a few years, he's gone to University and I hadn't heard from him in a while, only to have harrowing news that he was found hanging in his dorm room last year. When I hear this song now all I can do is lookup and smile while crying simultaneously at how sad I am to have lost my friend and wished I could've been there for him in his time of need, but can't help but feel he's playing this up somewhere in the clouds watching over us to make sure we do nothing silly. We miss you Max, we loved you so much, I'll never forget you and will forever play this song in your memory. Rest in peace Max - 2000-2021 Alex 2004-2021 Love you both, fly high
5 months late, but my condolences to you. It's never easy losing a friend or family to anything, especially suicide. I briefly considered it myself, but its bands like Seether, Linkin Park, Stained and A7x along with good friends and family that helped me get through some tough times. You could say music saved my life in a way. Wishing nothing but the best for you and your loved ones.
Thank you mate, appreciate it brutha, music definitely saved mine also, think I’d be mad without it no doubt, but yh we live and we move ♥️ Much love and blessings to you
I have given up on trying, because of the constant defeat. I have no reason to be mad, but at the same time no reason to be happy. Constant state of struggle.
I think if your a male who grew up in america you can relate with his music.. Sure its melancholy, but its straight up raw and real.. That man is more then metal - hard edged rock musician.. The way the music transitions with the lyrics.. Genuis is all i can say.. I could see him colaborating with different types of music. He lives in nashville.. No shortage of people he could do a song with.. For some reason i could see him doing a ballad with taylor swift. . No, not really☺ maybe miley Cyrus though
I never knew so many people felt this way. The same as I do. It's uplifting. Thankyou Seether for your music. Although I am a strong person, I do hurt inside about a lot. Your music has helped me relate, feel, come to terms. Thankyou.
Hold me now I need to feel relief Like I never wanted anything I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to I'm so ashamed of defeat And I'm out of reason to believe in me I'm out of trying to get by I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all I can't face myself when I wake up And look inside a mirror I'm so ashamed of that thing I suppose I'll let it go Until I have something more to say for me I'm so afraid of defeat And I'm out of reason to believe in me I'm out of trying to defy I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all Hold me now I need to feel complete Like I matter to the one I need I'm so afraid of the gift you give me I don't belong here and I'm not well I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living Right on the wrong side of it all Now I'm ashamed of this I am so ashamed of this Now I'm so ashamed of me I am so ashamed of me...
Love the way Sean Morgan reinvents himself vocally, it is another brilliant rendition, very gifted instramentally and vocally Sean excellent, the crowd are sold on, all singing along from start to finish
I can't claim to know what the song's meaning is in terms of what was intended by those who wrote it, all I can give is my own interpretation; but I feel strong vibes pointing towards heavy depression (For the record, I'm talking about clinical depression and not simply the feeling of loss or mourning, or just being in a bad spot in life that causes someone to feel down). Feeling little self-worth, the feeling of not belonging, feeling undeserving of what one has, feeling like a failure, feeling like you're being disingenuous to the world (possibly by hiding all the inner turmoil threatening to boil over and acting like everything is okay), being unable to face yourself and come to terms with who you are; your mortality; the reason for your existence in a chaotic; ever-changing world, and recognizing you have a problem, but are seemingly unable to fix it, either because you don't know how to or that you don't have the wherewithal to continue struggling against it anymore.
I dont know how i missed this music when it was first released. I was playing a veruca salt song for my son "cant fight the seether". And from that i found the band who named themselfs after that song. Seether. This music kicks ass!
Thank you very much for uploading this. Been a Seether fan since they were Saron Gas and have multiple Seether tattoos. This band is right up there with Nirvana for me. Seen them at House of Blues front row. Dale and Shaun acknowledged me. Greatest moment of my life when Dale saw my tattoo. Thanks for everything guys. I miss Kurt.
I keep coming back to this video. I always liked this song ever since it came out, but watching this particular performance makes me hear and feel the song differently.
Love this band. Shaun is one of my favourite singers from my homeland next to Bok van Blerk. Strangely enough, I've never heard Shaun speak Afrikaans though.
My mom used to be very good friends with Shaun. I always used to love her telling me stories about him and how much of an amazing person he is. I unfortunately never had the honor of seeing seether live or meeting Shaun.
I can't thank you enough for uploading this, probably my favorite live performance, and he has some good ones. Working on my own acoustic cover of it and this has been my reference, thanks!

Shaun poured his soul into that performance.
U can hear it come out at 1:14 , one of the if not the best voice ever imo
This was for his brother who killed himself. One of the best artist of our generation
ONE of best songwriters in rock! Great voice, SHAUN is a really talented man!!
this man lost his brother to suicide.u can feel his agony in his voice ..
@@enednas801 he is incredibly talented, you can feel he has lived his lyrics, just him and his guitar! He is a born to be a performer!
Heard this song for the first time ,while boarding a plane to go to rehab. I was meant to hear it
This was my best friends favorite song, everytime I hear it I have to turn it off because I simply get too emotional.
Today would've been his 19th birthday, I'm listening to it all.
Happy birthday bud. I love you, and miss you so much everyday
Bless you and your Friend's memory.

One of my favourite songs from Seether ❤

Omf i was just left of the guy who took this video. And met them after the show. Best day of my life.
What a good show it was. Awesome that you got to meet the guys.
2013s looking damn comfy, bros…the gift is
what an amazing piece of his soul he gave us here.
Yeah... a beautiful song wraped in pain.
well-said
I agree, so much pain.
SavSamuShaman filled with pain...
Shaun Morgan.. you are a legend. I love you man
Such a beautiful human.Love you Shaun Morgan all the way from Australia 💜❤️
Such a beautiful song filled with pain :'(
It is
I love this performance more than anything.
2019 still doesn't get any better than that !!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Seether is by far my favorite band!
Their music has so much heart!
Best band in the world. Makes me proud to be south african
This song hits soo many on soo many levels. We all feal defeat at some point in our lives, maybe everyday. Love you guys, keep making songs that we can all relate to:)
So true, I basically feel defeated every day when it comes to my personal / love life
The old couple are Shaun's parents. They were introduced before the set.
Shit what a great gig this was
No, that's Dales parents.
+J We you sure? Must have remembered wrong
+diceysnowball Nice!
+diceysnowball Shaun's parents aren't together anymore
Shaun’s dad passed away, not sure when though.
Not a single negative comment, that's when you know it must be good! Always loved Shaun's live performances, him, Aaron Lewis and Corey Taylor would be sick together
Totally agree, that would be an awesome collaboration.
i dont care where in the world that show happens , i will be there , now throw 10 years in that show and i'm ready to die after that one , nowhere to go but down from there, all acoustic , . f#ckin A right
@@mikeperkov9176 agreed
Yeeessss
Kevin Randall right on the wrong side
This video is the whole reason I started to sing when I play my acoustic
So much pain in one song, so much self dissatisfaction.
🥹
Glad you felt it. Hope it is nvr your reality.
Watching this a decade later 🥹🥹
beautiful song. I love that he played that one wrong chord, it could happen to anyone and I, as a guitar player, appreciate that haha.
i mean yeah he spat. thats why he paused on that chord...
@@carterfurtaw8978 5:39 Easy enough to do when not looking!
Agree as a lead guitarist its the purity of it not doing take after take makes it pure snd from thr soul love it
100% agree. As a musician myself it’s not the cord missed or the difference in key as artists play their hearts out for others.

You took the words outa my mouth today
@@kennedy6971 that isn't at all what( I think🙄) the song is about. I mean, possibly but I don't think so .
2022 and still hits me hard, love this version of the song.

i can feel the pain in his voice..
beautiful lyrics.. :(
How cool would i.t be to see Shaun and Aaron Lewis do a live acoustic duo?
It would be incredible.. Just a chilled acoustic performance with their guitars and voices
AMAZING
Literally my two favorite live rock singers. Seen Aaron twice and shaun 4x
One of the best songwriters of his time. Shame R&R became a sideshow to Pop, and Hip Hop......One to rise again!
I have given up on trying, because of the constant defeat. I have no reason to be mad, but at the same time no reason to be happy. Constant state of struggle.
This song cuts deeper everytime.
2018....still...THE BEST!!!!
Shaun Morgan , again Sings true to Heart . I find this truly unique and Amazing Artist His Songs and Lyrics touches all of Us in a Wonderful Way !!!
Terri Warren .. yea he has been a part of my life for years. that band has got me through alot of hard times
I think if your a male who grew up in america you can relate with his music.. Sure its melancholy, but its straight up raw and real.. That man is more then metal - hard edged rock musician..

Holy shit this is amazing footage!!!!!! Love Seether!!!!!

I never knew so many people felt this way. The same as I do. It's uplifting. Thankyou Seether for your music. Although I am a strong person, I do hurt inside about a lot. Your music has helped me relate, feel, come to terms. Thankyou.
Hold me now I need to feel relief
Like I never wanted anything
I suppose I'll let this go and find a reason I'll hold on to
I'm so ashamed of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to get by
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
I can't face myself when I wake up
And look inside a mirror
I'm so ashamed of that thing
I suppose I'll let it go
Until I have something more to say for me
I'm so afraid of defeat
And I'm out of reason to believe in me
I'm out of trying to defy
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Hold me now I need to feel complete
Like I matter to the one I need
I'm so afraid of the gift you give me
I don't belong here and I'm not well
I'm so ashamed of the lie I'm living
Right on the wrong side of it all
Now I'm ashamed of this
I am so ashamed of this
Now I'm so ashamed of me
I am so ashamed of me...
South Africa rocks! only time I heard the audience sing along with a Seether song.
Thanks for sharing. Great song. Like to see them live in SA
Love the way Sean Morgan reinvents himself vocally, it is another brilliant rendition, very gifted instramentally and vocally Sean excellent, the crowd are sold on, all singing along from start to finish
I LOVE THIS MAN SOOOO MUCH!!!
You are in a good place, my sensitive Soul ❤
could the elderly couple at side stage be Shaun's parents seeing as this was in South Africa stellar performance none the less
It's dales
HAHA I was at the show ... After the show I met the whole band and chilled with them !!!!
The only South African band that is a truly rock band.unlike these pop band claiming to be alternative rock bands. Your words have touched me mate.
Beautiful voice, beautiful video!
Loved when he spits in between belting out his dark emotions!
The best performance of all time. Period.
Indeed sir

If I may add in a way it sounds like he doesn't feel he deserves to be cared for (I'm so afraid of the gift you give me)
@@markpaulson3115 That is also a very apt interpretation.

Have you ever listened to their song Kom Saam Met My? He sings in afrikaans in it ;)
I believe he is originally white south african
He is from South Africa
Almost September in 2020 and this throwback still hits home.
My mom used to be very good friends with Shaun. I always used to love her telling me stories about him and how much of an amazing person he is. I unfortunately never had the honor of seeing seether live or meeting Shaun.
Was there. Could feel the raw emotion.

Incredibly soul touching

Been crushing hard on Shaun for almost 25 years now 🖤🤘
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful song !!
Awesome!
I just watched a scene from Footloose with Chris Penn when he was younger and fit. All people could say is negative things about how he got fat and died, but what they fall to realize is, we all harbor and deal with our pain in different ways. This song is an excellent representation of the same type of pain coming through in music and poetry, I am so grateful for this song, it helps and I know I'm not alone.
Seriously so good.
This song gives me Nostalgic and feels my Spirit 😴like im in a solitary Place
Thanks for the upload.
it's a pleasure.
Thank you for the gift that christ gave ❤ thank u for this wonderful gift 🎁
