Shinedown - The Crow & The Butterfly

[billfromelma]

what a great song !! words and music. LOve it!!

[Charmax1234]

its amazing how the singers sound nothing like they look

[answertotodayis1776]

Does anybody know what the lyrics were intended to be about when they wrote it? To me it sounds like they lost a friend to a drug od. If that's what it's about these are some powerful lyrics.

[SlappehWhagg]

@answertotodayis1776 its about a dream he had. in his dream there was a woman in a park with no children. its about that woman losing her child

[answertotodayis1776]

@SlappehWhagg Thanks for filling me in on that. I had no idea what it was about but it makes sense now.

[pianoguyonskis]

NIce song and vocal.....The singer looks like Ozzy., but sings way better than him.

[MrRipcage]

I never loved anyone, nut i still get emotional when i hear this amazing song

[TheAmazingfluffman]

Great song ,and everyone is entitled to an opinion . I don't like every song from Shinedown but I do like a lot of them !

[suicidaltink]

"When you and I were getting high as outer space". I miss ya david, even though you lost your battle to cancer at 22 years of age, your memory will continue to live on, i'll see you and allie again one day

[harkgirl67]

[Speechygod95]

[Mindjask]

Shinedown is almost to epic for normal humans o.o

[sebastiendog]

All of a sudden I want a hat taht can shadow my entire eyes and upper half of my face....

[lleydee1]

eu gostei dessa musica muito espiradora

[ShashiFSSAficionada]

I think those dislikes are the people who immediately relate to this song/vid...including myself. (I didn't dislike it though...but yea.) Peace be with you all...

[MetalXManiacX666]

[onelessreason100]

[morg405]

[tool122186]

I have a suggestion, if you don't like the song or the artist, DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO IT!! I hate when people comment just to talk shit to each other. Seriously, get a fucking life. No one forced you to listen to the song.

[xXemocloudyXx]

@tool122186 they like being lame trolls. Its just the younger generations finally catching up, and yet we moved on to something bigger. I just let them roll in there stupidity

[faintofhearts86]

This song is so deep, tragic, soulful, and beautiful. Wish I could write lyrics this amazing!!!

[pampam1970]

ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE BEST SONGS BY SHINEDOWN.....THEY ARE SO FRICKIN' AWESOME......THAT VOICE GIVES ME CHILLS

[NinjaZombieRooster]

13 people have never felt true sorrow

[aaronlf11]

This video isn't really one of their best, But The Song IS This SONG deserves a couple million views

[Marketak13]

@aaronlf11 I think, the video is really good, always when i look at it, i see lots of emotion in it, when it's played with the music

[Driveshaft12345]

Yall quit talking about how rock is "gonna die"...it never will...For all us older fellas it goes all the way back to Elvis...ha...even you younsters recognize that name.My parents listened to that stuff all the time

[piMPinS3xz1984]

theres somethin about a man in eyeliner that just drives me absolutely crazy mmmmmmm

[Driveshaft12345]

@piMPinS3xz1984 I hope you are a female

[52mynumber]

youtube is blocked to all the faggots out their so i think shinedown appreciates youtube

[tomcamp6023]

@52mynumber . How were you able to get on too you tube. I heard you like dick.

[52mynumber]

This Song Shouldn't Have A Dislike Button

[alexiscain2299]

@52mynumber i agree completly



[xxlilcrazy24xx]

@52mynumber you can't even see the dislike button

[Landisization]

@52mynumber None of their songs should sunny :P

[cbasham92]

I lost my virginity to this song.... I'd be more nostalgic if she didn't wind up being a psycho bitch.

[Driveshaft12345]

@cbasham92 Now thats fucking funny!!!Those damn physcho bitches...hold her head in the corner of the couch and just fuck her in the ass...lmao

[forevervampire]

tiene un leveeee parecido a ozzy osbourne en su cara.... aveces... no' ?

[paulkoleskemusic]

3:16 is the best vocal part!

[Speghetios]

@OneMetalHead10 the reason is becouse whats the point of going to youtube when you turn on the radio and you hear this song on at least 3 stations or more xD

[armystrong020]

the lady was probably like "stop looking at me Snape." the lead singer looks like Severus Snape, I think.

[lovemycheese]

@armystrong020 LOL!

[everyoneloveslosers]

this song means alot to me. My dad was dying of cancer and all i could think of is this song

[MsTiffenyc]

I love Shinedown I haven't heard a bad song yet & have all their albums!!!

[GreenDay830]

Who Could even look at the dislike button with this Video!

[ParagonB]

@IAreChurch Before video, we inferred our own meaning to music..or mostly just enjoying the tune. Produced videos are rarely based on what the songwriter was thinking when writing the song. YouTube-ers tend to over-analyze and draw relationships to the song and the images in the video.

[TyrrantGaming]

THANK GOD THEY HAVE A CHANNEL! FUCK VEVO!!



[jlayagode]

ES IGUAL A OZZY XD!!

[A7XAVENGEDSEVEN]

i like his better blonde

[666tba]

wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf

[eminem334455]

he reminds me of a young ozzy

[spcbuzzard]

One of the few bands I haven't seen that I really want to see. Great voice+great band+great Lyrics=Great Music

[babyikins]

love this song..................

[smsocute123]

whats up with the video i love him and all but the lyrics are pointless in this song and the video has nothing to do with enything??

[commenteh]

@smsocute123 It's about a mother who lost her son. The lyrics are Reminiscing of times before he died.

So the video fits it very well tbh

[childsfan999]

@smsocute123 its about a dream that brent had about a mother who had lost a child, who keeps having these visions and reminders of her child, and he thinks that somehow, the child who had passed helped him write the song so that maybe his mother would one day hear it. he used to think that the crow represented the mother and butterfly the child, but now he thinks that its the other way around. the boy in the video is the child who passed away and the crying woman is the mother.

[whenrussiansattack]

@childsfan999 :'(

[tik700]

@childsfan999 Finally someone who has his shinedown info straight! <3

[childsfan999]

@tik700 or 'her'. but thanks! i have too much spare time... :)

[tik700]

@tik700 Oh sorry didn't mean to write "his" haha :) Well it's just very nice to see someone who is interested in music and doesn't just .. "listen" to music if you know what i mean :)

[dogwhisperer91]

all this is is opinion, i personally love their album, every single song, and there's only one other band I can say that about... Three Days Grace

People have opinions, and that's only human.

[Driveshaft12345]

@dogwhisperer91 I agree with you...I can also listen to every song layne staley ever sang and also chris cornell who would have to be my all time favorite...hard to pick who the favorite is.Ipicked chris corneel cause he has been at it for many years with many bands and he is still rockin it.

[TR3Bastra]

great voice.... terrible poppy lyrics. He should right about something that doesn't sound whiny.

[mnkyfsh]

simply amazing :)

[DigitalDreamer24]

omg hey why is youtube only showing the people who watch the video??? lol and yall thought i was gonna say my views...

[AminPukimak]

how to make my skin brighter and whiter?

[AMalchert86]

@wowgames i think its the long black hair and make up

[CryMeARiver211]

Brent Smith looks beautiful in this video. xD

[paulak10]

i dont give a shit who he looks like, i just know he has the best voice out there. period!!!!

[TheGruntmarshall]

@paulak10 no...his voice isnt THE best.... and theres a couple that actually sound better live then him

[DigitalDreamer24]

@TheGruntmarshall its all a matter of opinion dont get worked up lol

[rvbsmcaboose]

@TheGruntmarshall dude im sorry but in my opinionj his voice is better and sounds great live and all their songs are good unlike most bands who make one good song and the rest of the album is just some shit that you would only take one or 2 minutes to poke at

[kojack2469]

Brent Smith is the best front man ever the end!

[BIGTIMERUSH245]

love this



[BIGTIMERUSH245]

i love shinedown

[XxEagleEye102xX]

I am sick and tired of people saying that Brent (the lead singer) reminds them of ozzy. Yes we all know he does so stop syaing it.

[lordalphaknight1]

Thumb this up if the "four leaf clover" reminds you of 4ch*n

[rhosmibunny]

AMAZING VOICE!!! i love love love this song.

[217DAnDONEGAN]

theirs a lot of Kurt Cobain and Ozzy influence on Brent...the lead vocalist

[217DAnDONEGAN]

theirs a lot of Kurt Cobain and Ozzy influence on Bret...the lead vocalist

[Azuluna357]

this is my favorite Shinedown song,this song flies

[MrShaunconrod]

11 dislikes out of 300,000 views is very impressive

[imajeepster]

swell bass. I just heard this the other night...while making out lol

[SupressedRPG]

anyone know what the video/song is suppposed to be about? i think i know but im not quite sure.

[rachelmarie325]

@SupressedRPG It's about a woman who's son has died. Brent Smith, the leadsinger, said he had a dream about it and was inspired to write the song.

[217DAnDONEGAN]

@rachelmarie325 im so glad that he had that lovely dream......Shinedown Forever!

[jamm06fire]

Brent looks like Ozzy did about 30 years ago.

[pauldenton101]

Well i was making a joke, I don't actually think rock is dead..... neither is techno.... jeeeeeeeeeeez

[OneMetalHead10]

291,079 Views?? What the fuck is wrong with YouTube.

[Zanethedarkone]

@OneMetalHead10 it means then alot more people have watched it but have not pushed the like button

[RandomNinja217]

@OneMetalHead10 At least only 13 of those disliked.

[kingofallspyros]

@RandomNinja217 boo

[RandomNinja217]

@kingofallspyros What?

[kingofallspyros]

@RandomNinja217 noone should have disliked!

[PeroticaErotivert]

@OneMetalHead10 The other 249,000,000 bought the album and listen to it that way. lol

[calebcaleb2026]

@OneMetalHead10 Its not youtube. Today and for some time now people no longer think deeper than the surface. Hip hop along with rap (with few exceptions in the respective genres) and the filthy culture that surrounds it gives people what they want on the surface and is easy like a whore. After all, to appreciate this wonderful song you have to THINK.

[llEpidemicll]

@OneMetalHead10 It's not YouTube, mate. It's the music, no, sound that fills the popular side of the music industry, people with the ability to auto tune and make simple beats, with lyrics that mean absolutely nothing getting rich, mean while bands with REAL talent, playing REAL music and REAL instruments go unnoticed, don't get me wrong people can listen to what they want, i'm just saying how the music industry is. With a few exceptions.

[Eats4dz64]

@OneMetalHead10  They are only showing you my views!!!

[XxEagleEye102xX]

@OneMetalHead10 They have to videos of this song and the other one has over a million views

[Demonsoulslayer]

@OneMetalHead10 Its counting backwards from a trillion

[notchback2110]

11 People Got The Bird Flu and Had Extreme Allergy Reactions From a Crow & a Butterfly!

[ShashiFSSAficionada]

@notchback2110 WOW lol :P

[pauldenton101]

Rock is dead.

(Long live paper and scissors)

[dannibassick]

@pauldenton101 forgive this guy, God...:S

[alterbridge64]

@pauldenton101 techno died, rock is still there! ! KEEP ROCK ALIVE

[lovercall911]

he has the perfect voice for rock music. he puts me in a trance.

[KILLERat1]

@lovercall911 It's because fucks are not given about how popular he is, he sings because he cares. It's pretty clear that every song he sings has personal value.

[QuackAttack2009]

Finally The world has a true Rock n Roll band!!!!

[Vegatifa]

Love this song

but the gay ads before it that last 30+ seconds w/horrible sound quality are REALLY annoying. Thanks youtube. For failing.

[mckaytrump]

good shit



[keygo18]

this is my most fav song ever! <3

[L3g3nds0fr0ck]

@Rhasyel  yes FINALY!

[gothicfire22]

I love Shinedown, end of story. <3

[UniqueEverlasting]

@Rhasyel Me too ^.^

[UniqueEverlasting]

@Rhasyel O.O No need to kill anyone due to bad taste of music. It is like a slice of pie, not every may like your flavor so in respect we leave them to their choices.

[UniqueEverlasting]

@Rhasyel Haha! Glad that lifted you.

Not all of youth is gone, still minimal amount of numbers left with sense.

[BoredomBrat]

Originally, I began listening to this song just a moment ago and it sounded so good that I was about to leave the video to find the lyrics. But the video enchanted me... I couldn't leave. It was frustrating not knowing the lyrics to sing along, but the video was astounding... I found it hard to feel all of this at the same time. It was marvellous. =) I loved it.

[Mlakoplas7]

how crap like kate perrys - firework has 180M views and masterpiece like this only 271K?!?!? where is the JUSTICE !!

[PAYN3DULUM]

@Mlakoplas7 The justice is the fact that so little people appreciate brilliance and when something is actually good in the world the normal people don't like brilliance its us that are not normal us that go insane from time to time and us that feel that really appreciate the effort that went into the lyrics and the feel of the song. Alltho Katie Perry has got an amazing rack which is probably why its got so many hits.

[AngelFotiad]

we dont care!!!!! i love justin bieber!!!!! he is my favorite actor..!!! xD

[joehartwigjr2011]

@AngelFotiad justin bieber can suck a dick

[joehartwigjr2011]

@AngelFotiad justin bieber can suck a dick and if u dont like that then u can suck my dick

[AngelFotiad]

[ultrafox92]

@AngelFotiad He's a brat, crappy singer, and crappy actor. Nuff said. Stay off these videos if you don't like them shoo.

[AngelFotiad]

[UniqueEverlasting]

@Rhasyel You do know she said that to get loads of thumbs right?

[Lesliedp1029]

When I was 13, I was rockin to Led Zeppelin. Going on 50, I'm rockin to these guys, amongst others. He is just so effin gorgeous!!!!!

[nickB332]

@Rhasyel yeah, but he/she could be lying.
