For some reason I can imagine Zack Hemsey making a pilgrimage up a mountain. After several days of traveling with nothing but what is on his back. He finally reaches the top to find a temple. An old man in robes comes out. Zack approaches the sage. Sage: "What is it that you seek young one?" Zack: "I seek wisdom from the wise." Sage: "Making another album?" Zack: "Yea." Sage: "Alright take a seat, I've been saving these for you."
Oh i once used it for a full short story length backstory for a tabletop character when my group was doing a game of Shadowrun. Just had Nice to Meet Me and Teachings Of a Ronin on loop the whole time.

This song is beyond epic. I love how it starts out devastated and hopeless with melancholic music and then becomes more determined towards the middle and ends with a total new found energy and determination, it's just amazing!
Zack is honestly the BEST UA-cam rapper i've ever heard, and imo even BETTER than MOST mainstream rappers too. His lyrical cadence, progression, rhyme and rhythm, and overall "voice" is so eloquent; to me it's poetry, the man is like the Shakespeare of rap. Nothing short of enchanting to chill out and listen to!
@@wheresmycar9676 I think I just had my first stand-up routine! It all just started a simple call from the "American Association for hearing aids" and me doing a Hans Mole-Man impression from the the Simpsons saying "what? who??.. Is this Nancy, can you turn my volume up?" And both sides of the conversation wound up having way more fun than anyone should have with some company calling about hearing aids or as I was calling them "my dear friends helping me with the AIDS in my ears." By the end, you could tell a group of people were listening in and muffling their laughter to my responses like "are the ear devices big? Because I want to pretend I can't hear people." They said it was a recorded call and I'm actually going to ask for a copy when they call me back Friday. I asked if the FBI was listening when told the calls were recorded for quality assurance purposes and she said "haha oh no no.. Haha they don't care about us" and I said " oh....well I do." And she had a legitimately not staged "aww" One guy could be heard laughing and having to leave the room and saying "omg like UP bahaha..." when they asked if in lived in an apartment or a house and I said "I wish I could put balloons on the roof and fly off a nice old fashioned adventure... Like that delightful movie about me and the plump Asian boy scout. I was in the boy scouts once, Just like him! ....but we never took a house anywhere :( " And the first girl I talked to definitely have people a heads up that someone special was on line X after I told her "thank you. you were very kind and I didn't even have to pretend to not hear you once" and she transferred me but not fast enough to hear her burst into laughter. And then the next lady Katharine answered and said she was with the Finances Department and I said "Oh BOTHER, that's my least favorite of the departments. They always want my money..." And a guy and a girl (maybe the original girl on the call) tried realllly hard to muffle their laughter and Katharine said "Hahaha oh well I sure am sorry to hear there that! Maybe we can change that today!" And I responded with "oh goodie! Will you give ME fifty quarters instead of taking all my pennies and nickels?" The whole thing just made my night.. time to get back to "TCB-ing!! 666
+Fluffy Waffles He's not underrated, he's underpublicized. He's been influential in his music (film scores), but aside from that, hasn't been included or recognized for much else.
All this mumble rap bollocks makes me wanna paint my bedroom wall with the back of my head. Zack’s actually talented, minuscule water transportation guy shouldn’t be as popular as he is.
I get plays on fb when I put out music music like these that glorify nothing but the real intent of life smh but I digress when the masses aren’t kept in touch like pendants Just penance that penetrated to the furthest of malcontent
Not many people can relate to the kind of depth this song has and that is why it may never reach top charts but whoever is listening and can relate to this, I have massive respect for you. ❤️
I could never be so grateful to Zack that this song exists. It got me through one of the worst depressions I've ever been due to my anxiety and agoraphobia disorder. This literally gave me hope that I could really take my life back. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
This song is just a magnificent piece of art for me and with a powerful meaning, it always help me to cheer up x3: Lyrics in case someone needs them: I see a ghost in a photograph I feel that wave come up under me I see myself in that other half I feel that pain pull me underneath I see the times that we'll never have I hear the sighs of content we'd breathe I feel the smile that I wish I had But all these moments are projections of the past Cuz a part of me died and a liveliness was lost when you passed And a light in me dimmed as a certainty was slipping through my grasp Now I'm picking up the pieces getting cut open by shards of broken glass Well how long can this last Missing is that purpose in my life but I can get it back This isn't gone I can get it back I see no soul in the mirror Only see signs of demise getting nearer "Time heals wounds" is absurd as a theorem But I can see above the sky's getting clearer And though despair of things before will never leave Although our past mistakes can never be retrieved Way out in the distance is a vessel on the seas And I'm a set a heading toward the sun, cuz I believe that I can get it back All that hope and that joy That trust and that care Those dreams of a boy, I can get it back All that love and that worth That touch of a flare That feel of the earth, I can get it back That drive to extreme That confidence to lead That willingness to bleed, I will get it back Reassembled when I'm done Depression on the run as I come beating on these drums This isn't gone I can get it back Battles with the mind and the timid stand off Slightest bit of pain and those tender folk scoff Choose the destination but that bridge must be crossed Guess the bottom line is we're cut from different cloths Borders they divide but I'm inclined to cut across Reach the outer limits then I cut away my loss Continue toward the goal in sight no matter what the cost Emboldened by this chance, I'm not afraid to get lost Cuz now I'm pushing forward and nobody dare oppose Now I'm moving faster while that ticking clock slows And now I'm climbing higher like the ground can't hold So I don't plan on stopping when this summit plateaus I'm that invasion of the body by the soul Sickened from the cold but soon a certified whole Never one to fight but I just hit it on the nose It took my spirit, but I got it back, case closed This isn't gone I can get it back
I swear to god man, i can feel that he speaks everything from his heart.. love all the emotion he puts into his words. Respect! and his song, don't get in my way.. that shit is fire yo..
I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Zack Hemsey. This music truly helped during the loss of loved ones. I'm going through something similar at this very moment and somehow when I listen to "I can get it back" I just know I'll get better and I'll be able to smile again. So, thank you. You managed to do what no friend/family of mine could.
Can't even begin to describe how much this songs means to me. Like many of the other people commenting this song has brought me from the brink of a very dark depression and speaks to my heart in a truly unique way nothing ever has. You are truly an amazing composer and writer Zack, thank you for all your hard work and passion in your music. I hope you are amazingly blessed as we are blessed by your beautiful music.
I know it's been half a decade or more since you posted this comment, and the likelihood of you seeing it is pretty slim, but I just wanted you to know that even though I don't know you, and you don't know me, that YOU MATTER. Your life exists for a reason, and you can do virtually anything you set your mind to. Always stay strong, and defy that negative voice in your head every. single. day. You are STRONGER than that depression, it does NOT, nor EVER WILL, define your life. You can, will, and already have, risen above it. God bless you my friend, and may your life's hardships be matched and multiplied with your life's triumphs! This is a message to you, me, and ANYONE else who has struggled, or is struggling, with depression. Remember to take pleasure in the joy of BEING, and remember that you matter to at least one person in your life, and you have all touched their hearts in ways you'd never have even considered. All my love to everyone here ❤
Didn't realize how much of me was dead until I felt that spark again. A passion, a smile and laughing delight, a desire from long ago I thought was dead came back pure and bright. I gave up on art, gave up on a dream of financial freedom. I discovered pixel art. I have a plan to build back up. The art in my heart shall come forth. I CAN GET IT BACK!
I can imagine Gaius Julius Caesar afore his Legion, mounted and pointing towards Rome with his red paludamentum flowing in the wind as they cross the Rubicon to restore what the Republic had lost. Especially during the lyrics of, "I will cross this bridge," and the sound of soldiers marching towards the end.
I know this is not interesting at all, but for me, this song encapsulates hope. It talks about the past mistakes the narrator has made, how he isnt the one he once was and doesnt even recognize himself. He reminisces about the past but also notices that he has to accept the mistakes and move on to reach his goal that lays so far ahead that worrying or crying over the past isnt even an option. He already feels regret and doesnt want to further increase this feeling of not fulfilling his own desires and just watch himself rot away, so he sets forth. He strays forward with new vigor and is ready to achieve his goal, no matter what.
“The drive to extreme; the confidence to lead; the willingness to bleed… I can get it back.” is my favorite…this is the exact language I speak: of drive, of confidence, of determination, of willpower, of persistence, resistance, perseverance…Thanks for the lyrics, amazing song- and an absolute wake-up call for me. ‘The confidence to lead.. I will get it back’ (( ❤ ))
We're all here for one reason, we've all gone through tough shit. And we're here for inspiration to get it back. It's tough to, though, and we always feel like there is no way out. But when we listen to this masterpiece, it kicks us into gear to go out and get the work done. We, the ones who've listened to this song, are the ones who pursue our dreams to the point where we don't care for what others think of us. We don't care if they think we're too serious. We don't care if they think we're too mature for our age or are too goal oriented. Because we got it back. You got it back.
I’ve listened to this song probably a million times and I’ll listen to it a million more. The lyrics are profound. This is 100% the single song that gives me so much inspiration for writing my debut novel. Not only does it remind me of the confidence and joy I used to have in my creativity as a kid, but it is just the perfect theme for my story. I love your music so much! Thank you!
This song encapsulates the arc of my life perfectly; it epitomizes the despair at losing myself, and the conviction that I will get myself back, so beautifully and powerfully that I could very well make this the anthem for this current stage of my life.
4:32 anyone else here from the Pteryx video about Bucky? I completely fell in love with the song now I can't stop replaying it over and over again. I mean I've always loved Zack's art, but I was never really into lyric-songs... but THIS.
Ominous and haunting to this day, always come back to this song when im in a dark place and it drags be back to reality. I hope he never stops making things like this.
I never heard of this song till I bought your ronin album. i found the song to help me revive my life to beat back the demons of depression and finally be happy.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh... if only the majority was a bit smarter this would be the rank1 lyrical music. sick lyrics bro based on rare deep thinking. Just don't stop, thanks.
The notions you put into these songs, the raw emotion, the exemption of society to a straight immersion of feelings thoughts and intellect is crucial for a determination, "a destination that bridge must be crossed" . Keep at it brah, the soul speaks thru sounds. Much respect- Rollya J
I'm deployed on a combat mission in the middle East and my girl calls me crying about how she can't handle the stress of our relationship while I'm not home. We care alot about each other and she doubles as my girlfriend and my best friend. I can't imagine losing her but all I can do is push through the next 6 months until I return
I want instrumental so we can have both versions. ..so that i can hear every beautiful beat n sound to this terrific song :)))) I love lyrical version too. I love everything you make..it gets me through my studies
This is the song that got me through my breakup. I thought I might genuinely break down and then one night, I listened to this, stood up, and got back to work.
Do not forget about not being alone. We share a common breakup coping mechanism, that is what links us two together, and allows us to push through. All the best! I truly do hope Hemsey returns some day, a silent hero.
The first verse perfectly depicts how i felt when i lost my father. The second verse sums up me getting my act together and pulling my socks up and working to come back from the grief. hope you're doing well too buddy above ^.
I've been listening to Ronin since the day you put it on youtube, and this is definitely my favorite track. I love the unexpected combination of instruments, the variation in intensity, and the lyrics especially. It reminds me of a phoenix rising from the ashes. Also, joining everyone else in hoping for instrumental versions some day. You're amazing, keep it up.
This song is now part of my DNA! Saying thank you to Zack Hemsey won't be enough especially when you are looking for meaningful songs which boost you to live life. Very few have the ability to think and can differentiate K pop from Zack Hemsey.
Friggin' genius art work. Your music is the greatest piece of art I've ever listened to. Good job! Can't wait for the album to be released on a CD, instant buy!
This Goes Out To The Master Artist Himself Zack Hemsey... We Are Patiently Waiting.... We The Fans Need You To Come Thru With Another Flawless Album.... Not For The Desire within ourselves to hear Your Music From A Selfish Mind(Even though You' Are the Greatest Artist of All Time) ...This is Coming From The Heart...The World Needs You Back Zack. To Infuse with Levels Now Many of Us Now Also Purse.... Guide Us Instruct us Teach Us And We Can Finally Awaken To This Next Level that Is Finally On The Way.... There's New Light Coming...... We The Fans Will Continue To Patiently Wait ...
I cant wait till he releases the Instrumental versions of Ronin. I do love this lyrical version though. This song has really helped my get through and understand the loss of a close friend.
This is so far beyond music I don't even compare it on the same level.. it's like comparing a candle to a hydrogen explosion. I wonder if when he wrote this he ever intended on it to save a life. After Reading the comments and experiencing the change brought on from just this track I cannot even fathom how many lifes this may have saved. I seriously only wish this track kept going longer.

For some reason I can imagine Zack Hemsey making a pilgrimage up a mountain. After several days of traveling with nothing but what is on his back. He finally reaches the top to find a temple. An old man in robes comes out. Zack approaches the sage.
Sage: "What is it that you seek young one?"
Zack: "I seek wisdom from the wise."
Sage: "Making another album?"
Zack: "Yea."
Sage: "Alright take a seat, I've been saving these for you."
This made me chuckle, hats off to ya.
hahahaha!
Thanks for this comment. :)
Hahahhaah "Yea."
*Another sage comes from behind Zack*
Second Sage: You need not more bowls nor water, for you are able. Now go and teach the world what spine is.
You could literally write a movie just from listening to Zack Hemsey's music what a ridiculously talented man.

And you're butt hurt.
Oh i once used it for a full short story length backstory for a tabletop character when my group was doing a game of Shadowrun. Just had Nice to Meet Me and Teachings Of a Ronin on loop the whole time.
I see a ghost in a photograph
I feel that wave come up under me
I see myself in that other half
I feel that pain pull me underneath
I see the times that we'll never have
I hear the sighs of content we'd breathe
I feel the smile that I wish I had
But all these moments are projections of the past
Cuz a part of me died and a liveliness was lost when you passed
And a light in me dimmed as a certainty was slipping through my grasp
Now I'm picking up the pieces getting cut open by shards of broken glass
Well how long can this last
Missing is that purpose in my life but I can get it back
This isn't gone
I can get it back
I see no soul in the mirror
Only see signs of demise getting nearer
"Time heals wounds" is absurd as a theorem
But I can see above the sky's getting clearer
And though despair of things before will never leave
Although our past mistakes can never be retrieved
Way out in the distance is a vessel on the seas
And I'm a set a heading toward the sun, cuz I believe that I can get it back
All that hope and that joy
That trust and that care
Those dreams of a boy, I can get it back
All that love and that worth
That touch of a flare
That feel of the earth, I can get it back
That drive to extreme
That confidence to lead
That willingness to bleed, I will get it back
Reassembled when I'm done
Depression on the run as I come beating on these drums
This isn't gone
I can get it back
Battles with the mind and the timid stand off
Slightest bit of pain and those tender folk scoff
Choose the destination but that bridge must be crossed
Guess the bottom line is we're cut from different cloths
Borders they divide but I'm inclined to cut across
Reach the outer limits then I cut away my loss
Continue toward the goal in sight no matter what the cost
Emboldened by this chance, I'm not afraid to get lost
Cuz now I'm pushing forward and nobody dare oppose
Now I'm moving faster while that ticking clock slows
And now I'm climbing higher like the ground can't hold
So I don't plan on stopping when this summit plateaus
I'm that invasion of the body by the soul
Sickened from the cold but soon a certified whole
Never one to fight but I just hit it on the nose
It took my spirit, but I got it back, case closed
LonghornRed Thank you
Thank you!

Like many of the other people commenting this song has brought me from the brink of a very dark depression and speaks to my heart in a truly unique way nothing ever has. You are truly an amazing composer and writer Zack, thank you for all your hard work and passion in your music. I hope you are amazingly blessed as we are blessed by your beautiful music.
This song inspires me to do more with my life and get out of the rut of depression from the loss of a friend and family member.
I'm in pretty deep depression as well and this song is a fucking miracle when it comes to motivating me.

We need to be driven by sth. Not motivated
Zack Hemsey is a different kind of breed.
Didn't realize how much of me was dead until I felt that spark again. A passion, a smile and laughing delight, a desire from long ago I thought was dead came back pure and bright. I gave up on art, gave up on a dream of financial freedom.

Cheers man, got my Doritos back thanks to this comment. It really works.

He reminisces about the past but also notices that he has to accept the mistakes and move on to reach his goal that lays so far ahead that worrying or crying over the past isnt even an option. He already feels regret and doesnt want to further increase this feeling of not fulfilling his own desires and just watch himself rot away, so he sets forth. He strays forward with new vigor and is ready to achieve his goal, no matter what.
“The drive to extreme; the confidence to lead; the willingness to bleed… I can get it back.” is my favorite…this is the exact language I speak: of drive, of confidence, of determination, of willpower, of persistence, resistance, perseverance…Thanks for the lyrics, amazing song- and an absolute wake-up call for me. ‘The confidence to lead.. I will get it back’ (( ❤ ))
We're all here for one reason, we've all gone through tough shit. And we're here for inspiration to get it back. It's tough to, though, and we always feel like there is no way out. But when we listen to this masterpiece, it kicks us into gear to go out and get the work done. We, the ones who've listened to this song, are the ones who pursue our dreams to the point where we don't care for what others think of us. We don't care if they think we're too serious. We don't care if they think we're too mature for our age or are too goal oriented.
Because we got it back.
You got it back.
I’ve listened to this song probably a million times and I’ll listen to it a million more. The lyrics are profound. This is 100% the single song that gives me so much inspiration for writing my debut novel. Not only does it remind me of the confidence and joy I used to have in my creativity as a kid, but it is just the perfect theme for my story. I love your music so much! Thank you!
This song encapsulates the arc of my life perfectly; it epitomizes the despair at losing myself, and the conviction that I will get myself back, so beautifully and powerfully that I could very well make this the anthem for this current stage of my life.

anyone else here from the Pteryx video about Bucky?
I completely fell in love with the song now I can't stop replaying it over and over again. I mean I've always loved Zack's art, but I was never really into lyric-songs... but THIS.
+Serendipity Edits *raises hand* Also Slyfer2812's 'Nice to Meet Me' one with Bucky. Both of them are amazing vids with incredible songs.
BlueSpiritFire1 wow just watched it because of your comment. Really happy I did. Thanks!

Ominous and haunting to this day, always come back to this song when im in a dark place and it drags be back to reality. I hope he never stops making things like this.
I never heard of this song till I bought your ronin album. i found the song to help me revive my life to beat back the demons of depression and finally be happy.
His Music is Godlike
Amir Khan more than that.
WE ARE STILL HERE !!!
'...A light in me dimmed...when you passed...'

Damn right dude. In fact, ALL of Zack's music is epic from beginning to end.
Found this music out of nowhere just hopping around you tube.
It is truly amazing thank you.
ZACK you can get it back please please please come back, we always love you!

this music has got me through some very tough times. It helps me see that I need to better myself and that I *can* do it, whatever it may be.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh... if only the majority was a bit smarter this would be the rank1 lyrical music. sick lyrics bro based on rare deep thinking. Just don't stop, thanks.
Insted.. we live in twisted, perversed reality where Cardi B has milions of views.. Sick, sad world

This is a desert, and we are the ones who found an oasis.
No bro. Not any deep thinking. That's a guy rising.
I’ve never had a grind this hard in my life… listening to this song everyday…. Hope I get it back… thanks Zack
Speaker of our rights.
This is the definition of the indomitable human spirit
I feel like I don't deserve this kind of music. It's too good.
I refuse to believe that, you deserve every bit of it.
@@moving.quotes We all do!
*Zack Hemsey:* I can get it back
*Virginity:* challenge accepted
4:36 and on.... speechless
This is one of Zack Hemsey's best songs ! :D
ZACK you can get it back please please please come back, we always love you!
you can make more masterpiece musics like this....
This guy is the greatest rapper ever
Zack Hemsey's songs are honestly empowering and motivational.
I always come back to this so gn for one reason, getting back hope to take off and try again, zack is a fucking great man
The notions you put into these songs, the raw emotion, the exemption of society to a straight immersion of feelings thoughts and intellect is crucial for a determination, "a destination that bridge must be crossed" . Keep at it brah, the soul speaks thru sounds. Much respect- Rollya J
I'm deployed on a combat mission in the middle East and my girl calls me crying about how she can't handle the stress of our relationship while I'm not home. We care alot about each other and she doubles as my girlfriend and my best friend. I can't imagine losing her but all I can do is push through the next 6 months until I return
@@jesussaves5046 thanks man
That is A LOT to deal with, I hope things worked out for you.
i cri evri teim... seriously though; powerful.
Zack where are you? We need more music like this. Please...
I want instrumental so we can have both versions. ..so that i can hear every beautiful beat n sound to this terrific song :)))) I love lyrical version too. I love everything you make..it gets me through my studies
This song gives me strenght, thank you so much.
What a song
omg, I LOVE this song!
This song helped me heal and overcome a devastating ankle injury and get back to full range of motion without surgery!
This is the song that got me through my breakup. I thought I might genuinely break down and then one night, I listened to this, stood up, and got back to work.
Do not forget about not being alone. We share a common breakup coping mechanism, that is what links us two together, and allows us to push through.
All the best! I truly do hope Hemsey returns some day, a silent hero.
You got it back!
This song helped me change my life a long time ago. Thanks Zack.
Same for me
The first verse perfectly depicts how i felt when i lost my father. The second verse sums up me getting my act together and pulling my socks up and working to come back from the grief. hope you're doing well too buddy above ^.
I've been listening to Ronin since the day you put it on youtube, and this is definitely my favorite track. I love the unexpected combination of instruments, the variation in intensity, and the lyrics especially. It reminds me of a phoenix rising from the ashes. Also, joining everyone else in hoping for instrumental versions some day. You're amazing, keep it up.
MASTERPIECE
Zack I needed to hear this, I Can Get It Back!!!
Beautiful
just amazing
Going through difficult times right now. This helped.
Your are the greatest in my play list, zack
My new favourite piece of music!
soundtrack for the fight of our lives
This motivates and makes me cry at the same time.
This is the Sooooong. I must listen zack, i must listen zack
This song helped me through the hardest times of my life. Really appreciate it!
Thank you Zack. Your music helped me a lot during my depressive phase.
one of the best song accompany me for 2017, let's get it all back in 2017.
Yes! New material from the great Zack Hemsey! Glad to see you're as stupendous as ever, keep up the amazing work!
Amazing.
This inspires me to start writing a story
I love how Viking it sounds!
Started off pretty depressing at first, but then it became a motivational video
The first verse
is like ridin in my own hearse
Duuuuuuuude I can imagine you doing some Viking music. This album is the bomb.
A true work of art in every way possible.
You successfully saved lives Zack, now we need u to make a new album please..
This whole album makes for awesome gaming music. This track more for MMO/skyrim style.
This song is now part of my DNA! Saying thank you to Zack Hemsey won't be enough especially when you are looking for meaningful songs which boost you to live life. Very few have the ability to think and can differentiate K pop from Zack Hemsey.
Pure skillz! 🔥 We love you hemsey
lovely
5:16 goosebumps 💣
Friggin' genius art work. Your music is the greatest piece of art I've ever listened to. Good job! Can't wait for the album to be released on a CD, instant buy!
“Depression on the run as I come beating on these drums” best verse my opinion
Wow. This is going on my spotify list
This Goes Out To The Master Artist Himself Zack Hemsey... We Are Patiently Waiting.... We The Fans Need You To Come Thru With Another Flawless Album.... Not For The Desire within ourselves to hear Your Music From A Selfish Mind(Even though You' Are the Greatest Artist of All Time) ...This is Coming From The Heart...The World Needs You Back Zack. To Infuse with Levels Now Many of Us Now Also Purse.... Guide Us Instruct us Teach Us And We Can Finally Awaken To This Next Level that Is Finally On The Way.... There's New Light Coming......

Best fitting song for Bucky. I hope they'll use it for him in the movies in the future.
one of the best i have ever seen
you are right! for me aswell
EPIC. I have no words.... Its amazing
Perfect!
I cant wait till he releases the Instrumental versions of Ronin. I do love this lyrical version though. This song has really helped my get through and understand the loss of a close friend.
*I got it back!*
This is so far beyond music I don't even compare it on the same level.. it's like comparing a candle to a hydrogen explosion. I wonder if when he wrote this he ever intended on it to save a life. After Reading the comments and experiencing the change brought on from just this track I cannot even fathom how many lifes this may have saved.
I seriously only wish this track kept going longer.
I feel like this is dedicated to me
THANK YOU ZACK
I will get it back ✊
