Saw these guys in October '09. They were before Creed, but they definitely should've been the headlining band. They are truly talented live...great song.
Boston. 2009. 3 NICE hits of LSD. It appears their show is over when the lights go out, when Aaron quickly reappears on a small stage in the middle of the crowd with his acoustic. I book it over there. Get within 5-7 feet. Begins to play Outside. A Feeling of ecstacy. As though i was truly hearing this song for the first time. The chords and his voice crash through my body, my existence, as beautiful emotions. Tears fall from my eyes. One of my fondest memories. Thank you.
3:56..he asks, are you ready? The answer, is no. Noone can ever consider themselves ready for the wave of emotion that crashes into you everytime you hear this. I am 20 years old. I am fucked up. But this shit right here..gives me hope that maybe, tonight really will be ok. Fucking love you Aaron Lewis.
♪ ♫ ♩ ♬ But I'm on the outside/And I'm looking in/I can see through you/See your true colors/'Cause inside you're ugly/You're ugly like me/I can see through you/See to the real you♪ ♫ ♩ ♬
All the times/That I've cried/All this wasted/It's all inside/And I feel/All this pain/Stuffed it down/It's back again
This songs beyond just the music and the notes.. its about the lyrics.. very little songs are.. and the lyrics make the most sense when their not supposed to..
I just relearned this song. After all the videos on playing this song I never realized that no one talks about how Aron lifts his index finger when playing those chords. Changes the sound entirely because the open string is a much lower root. Thank you live performances, filling all the gaps that most lessons never fill.
@Sanadan Actually, interesting fact. this song was first sung live, was never recorded. Aaron Lewis had wrote it on the road, and played it at the next concert without the managers permission. and it was amazing.
@xxanarchychild616xx It's called a Baritone Guitar. They're made to be tuned down a whole octave from what one usually tune an ordinary guitar to. The guitars have a larger body and a larger neck to better fit the lower frequences the lower tunings create.
I use to live that way.....smokin' more than anyone...It's chokin' to others but right now I serve Jesus and I can tell u all the beautiful moments that I lost because of those BAD decisions. I don't judge anyone, only can say that, apreciate what you have and apreciate more what you don't.
Get the goosebumps when it builds at the end, and thats just watching the vid! Would love to see the live delivery, such an emotional/meaningful performance and tune. Thanks.
I have lived every word of this song."I have tasted what I could Never have" All the times that I felt insecure and this won't end. I have wasted more time then anyone else. All this pain, full of pride stuffed it down. All the times I tried my intentions. But I leave my burdens at the door, and I smoke more Weed then anyone else.
Been there done it!! Words cant get no better then this!!!! Heroin its a hell of a drug...plus a family and bills Whew!!!!! Lived and syrvived and cant get no better then this I am feeling right now!!!
@Xankar1 So you don't think that there second album was great? There is still a lot of great heavy tunes on it. Get with the program dude. Every one after that was what Journey did. Sing to 15 year old girls. This song is about addiction. You just don't get it!!!

This helped me through the death of my dad deadshape1, it is a song for remembrance, reflection and comforting. The lyrics are a 1 in a million, 1 man alone has brung the meaning of healing and forgiveness into a song. A true artist <3
You couldn't ask for a better song, its good for remembrance, relaxing and so many other things. The lyrics are 1 in a million and so is the guy. When my dad died i remember listening to this and thinking worser things are happening in the world "pick yourself up" it helped me alot through the years.
hey deadshape1, i know it's hard, and even though i don't know you, you have my full support! stay strong, and i respect how hard it is for u. ps i <3 this song but i like the regular version better. and it sucks that the only acoustic version of this song is live...whats w that???
this song brings me guidance and light to carry on battling my drug addiction and im know going on 2 months free and still standing strong.. so all i can say is thank you :)
Yea man, 15 here ... was on drugs from the age of 9 ... Music has been a big part of helping me find hope ... Ive found faith ... and im clean... Take care man, and remember ... dont let your past dwell in your heart... embrace present circumstances and enjoy the beautiful things around you, and in another people ... blessed
Isn't it amazing how music can heal and bring people together so well? Congratulations on getting clean. I hope you stay that way. I have a grandmother heavily addicted to almost every drug possible, and I know how hard life is for her. You lose the things you care about most, and you don't even care until you hit the floor. You've got my support. All of it. God Bless.
@deadshape1 god bless you my freind i wish you the best and hope your recovery goes wonderfuly its good to hear that there are pepole out there who say enough and change themselfs for the better live well
3:00 "but i smoke more weed than anyone" lmao i figured, Aaron Lewis, this dude is the shit, he let out his frustrations by making music and people love him for it...takes a lot of character in my opinion
i think secretly he does vocals for Seether, Shinedown and Daughtry, because they all sound almost identical. (No, i don't listen to Daughtry,just want to make that clear.)
im going to thumbs down you for even mentioning the american idol guy. sorry man but you deserve it, and im sure you understand, this is a staind music vid. lets keep the chat clean please.
