[MrAtom311]

@rollinfever15 its spelled with an a on the album so it was not the band it was the person who put up this vid

[DomD1212]

@rollinfever15 don't spread your ignorance please.

[cripplestew]

[greenmatthews]

this song makes me reflect

[SoyPetTurtle]

beautiful

[Blindsideblaza]

I lost a good friend last weekend to the same demons. Always show your friends that they're loved and needed. 311 will always have a special place in my heart right alongside Will.

[yourock69100]

Hey Numonkei I want 2 express my deepest sympathy for your loss but this song should be a positive reminder and I know how you feel from personal experience but just smile for your friend because the pain is over and remember the good times take care Bro!!!!!!!!

[mrniceguy4290]

does anyone have an instrumental of this song??



[Numonkei]

This record dropped two days, maybe three, after my closest friend at the time's suicide...it rings true today, and still for that reason remains almost unlistenable. Don't know who the fuck Justin Shaw is, I miss JGP.

[AneTix101]

RIP Justin Shaw

[VooDooWiLD67]

its definitely been said before, but I absolutely LOVE that the mellow parts of this song sound so much like the Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) wah-wah guitar... talk about the perfect comfort zone!! this song is epic and beautiful.

[420ModernDayHippie]

Might i say this is prolly one of the best fan made 311 video that and i really like this song lol

[Drewc828]

How epic this sounded as I took a shit!

[shift2max]

How epic this sounded last night live!

[kaleidoscopeful]

im smoking a joint w/ dis song,....luv lots: from San Juan, La Union the surfing capital of the philippines,..

[misfitugly]

i wish my dead friend listened to this song before committing suicide maybe he would have changed his mind and saw that nothing is worth killing yourself over

[yooooitzcoreyyy]

@misfitugly i say the same thing about my friend who overdosed on roxies

[420ModernDayHippie]

The Fucking Jerry Womp or should i say phil womp thats one thing about 311 i love

[jesterofdimensionz]

Can't watch on iPhone WTF !!!!

[normsteez]

is this fan made?

[SoulUltima597]

Fav 311 moment - fight breaks out at concert - Nick Hexum: "That's not the 311 way"

[MopedMoproblems]

@bigballamrey tru about suicide. When I wrote that a friend of mine had recently committed suicide. I was taking comfort in some 311 love.

[pleaseRoger]

so this song is about not killing yourself or what



[seattle151]

@pleaseRoger yeah he was a friend of nick hexums 

[Alizar06]

@pleaseRoger Nick's close friend committed suicide, so he wrote this for him. Tim actually made most if not all of the instrumental, and Nick's lyrics just happened to fit.

[seattle151]

that last note....

[lydiamartin02]

Best live performance ever I will 4ever love 311!

[dadowdsta1]

Greatest song to get you outta of a dumpy day. Let your mind unwind and shoot off way beyond the grey skies.

[Brutalious]

The first time I heard this song, I thought someone was playing Earthbound. Fantastic song nevertheless.

[jcool1945]

this would be my ending song when I get messed up! what a great song! 311 4 ever

[MrAtom311]

how is it 17 people did not like this .311 is the best band this should have been the official video its awesome great job man

[MrToostoopid]

such a sick ass guitar solo.

[uplifter182]

when u listen to the solo and close your eyes u feel like ur floating and then u start to get a weird vibe

[dogbyte13]

nice vid :)

[elyn900]

cool song is it

[freeatlastification]

gotta stay positive people!

[ladylolrus]

Oh P-nut <3



[EMABand1]

the one thing i love most about 311 is tht whenever Im down or I miss the old days I know I can always turn to them and istantly they got me on a high!

[MopedMoproblems]

this song has helped my through some rough times. thank you nick and company for such healing words and soothing melody.

[bigballamrey]

@MopedMoproblems indeed. i can totally understand people taking it as a light inspirational song, and it is about seeing past darker times, but its interesting that if i'm not mistaken, its about one of nick hexon's good friends committing suicide when they were younger.

[supbros21]

Can someone tell me what effect it used to get the "womp"-ish sound from the start through out?

[bogmon]

@supbros21 It's an envelope filter or and Auto-Wah....Not sure which one, but Tim tends to use alot of Electro Harmonix pedals. ...this is a classic example of Tim Mahoney's Jerry Garcia influence.

[banana1783]

when i went snowboarding at mt high below the mountain it was like hell, all rainy and Grey and the higher we went there was like a line between sunlight and clouds and it made me think about this song and going back down i thought of flowing 

[DvdRatings]

lucy made this song an instant favorite for me

[Brushhopp3r]

divine noises, i worship thy sounds

[Muirselgas]

*At a concert* PLAY BEYOND THE GREY SKY!!

[Fodog414]

17 people have never been beyond the grey sky.

[xDr5hakalux]

happy 311 day!!

[TheMean93]

17 people don't really like music and don't have a soul

[DoomBagel]

Too many trolls with the bad vibes. Just smoke a joint and relax! Let the song wash over you.

[drakenkorin404]

All of you telling mrfinkle to kill himself should not be on this page u obviously arn't listening to this beautifull song. GROW UP

[SlapDaBass1]

Listen to this when things are not looking good. And just remember every thing is gonna be okay beyond the Grey sky...

[FastJimmyC]

Most excellent song...

[Muirselgas]

How epic this sounds with headphones!

[blinkyrebel]

@Muirselgas especially studio headphones

[Touchofred239]

@Muirselgas How epic this sounds with surround sound. :D

[McPuffins509]

@Muirselgas all good music should be listened to with headphones!!:) try transistor!!! AMAZING!!!:)

[McPuffins509]

and man, this album sure takes on new meaning in my life now...my buddy jumped off a bridge last month.....miss you joey!

[jhazlem]

@Muirselgas

sounds even more epic in a car with the speakers hooked up to an amp, and a subwoofer. the bass is so dope, which i'm sure a lot of people don't even realize is there

[CindyVortex1408]

I love this songg :)

RIP. David Barker

[asa10142003]

Favorite 311 song. Needs to be summertime and I need to be on the beach in Santa Cruz with my loved ones.

[snappy452]

One of their best songs. Top 10 IMO

[BuddyHolly1300]

Your video makes it look like this song was off transistor haha they should of added some more dub vocals on this track

[weeks420]

spark it...love 311

[MegJ326]

this song is so chill

[JcubHG]

damn good job on the video.

[TheSerpentineBadfish]

What a beautifully chill song! Love it!

[DKposer69]

no need to cut ur self . . light up some doobie and listen to the song . . all problems are just speed bumps on your life . . relax take a hit and go on . . .

[Mauroduds311]

@BluEDrEaMT hell yah

[Puntersnatch]

you should shove that knife right up yer ass and we"ll see if you try to cut yourself again!!!!!!

[nofd1977]

Everybody need to shut the fuck up , stop choppin themselves and listen to the music baby!

[bpmbrent]

this is an extremely profound song to help you friends who have suicidal thoughts.  it says " we love you, you don't understand what you have to live for"

[meatonmybayonet]

this song is about thier friend that committed suicide. look at the lyrics and you'll understand the song much better. i heard this song live and it was life changing, ask any person that has gone to a 311 concert, they will all say the same thing.

[missykim9]

i saw them play this live..and it was just AMAZING. it's a different world when you go to their concert, makes you appreciate them more.

[TeSoad90]

wow the first two comments with the highest thumbs ups couldn't be any more anti 311 they don't reflect anything that 311 stands for. come on people lets thumbs up some better comments

[jafartass424]

@TeSoad90 311 is about being positive and loving your life. Some people may not live with the circumstances that allow that philosophy to resonate with them as easily as others. You gotta be down before you can be uplifted. To think that 311's music is only for people who are already positive thinkers is stupid. It's you who is anti-311 with your unfair judgment. You too damnation.

[TeSoad90]

@jafartass424 what ever jarfartass lol I'm not here to have a debate i just wanna flow with the 311 sound

[mrswiss420]

the guitar sounds like jerry garcia

[MegJ326]

what an excellent song



[likeomygosh712]

311is so freaking legit they killlllll bass

[ldeonwhite]

I've seen them 34 times now, love these guys

Omaha stylee baby!

[5uzyD4wg]

Man, I had the chance to see them in live concert here in Fairbanks, but we didn't go :(

[glyder1836]

best musicians in the world put together = 311

[zep123dmc]

this is probably my favorite 311 song....

[AHoust58]

so orgasmic.....................

[M5GamingInc]

this is one of the best put together videos on youtube. just shows the essence of the band and the song. god i want to see them live.

[TonyRomoAKARayFinkle]

@M5GamingInc GO NEXT TOUR!!!!!! Theyre amazing!!!!

[splixum]

@Heven644 OOOOHHHHHHHH, YOUR SOULLLLL, ITS SO VEILED, I CANT FEEL IT, PENETRATING MY SOUL FROM ACROSS THE INTERNET...... penetrate

[TonyRomoAKARayFinkle]

@Heven644 worddddd................

[OhioReggaeGuy]

My fav song to chill too. This is one of those songs I put on repeat and will jam it for hours. Such a radical song. Blows my mind how good 311 is.

[needlearmor]

how do they write such good songs AND bad songs!

[FarmerHendri]

Totally fucking amazing

[mushugai]

1:40  (awesome)

[turbomaxmm86]

i love this <3

[hydr0ponicxx]

this is one of the first songs i learned to play when i got a guitar. this song will always be one of my favorites. this song is so fun to play with the amp at full blast and you wanna just rock the fuck out.

[ubernate860]

@hydr0ponicxx yes. my favorites to throw down on are this and 'freak out'

[hydr0ponicxx]

@ubernate860 Hell yeah thats a good one too. It doesn't take alot of work to learn their songs but i think thats what's great about 311, they rock the hell out with (somewhat)simple riffs and rhythms, you just can't go wrong with that. Oh yeah, having 2 guitarists helps, too.

[wyattbutler87]

I love this song!!! I think it's one of their best!!

[shnitzel182]

i was just at a 311 concert like 2 hours ago.

..one of the best concerts ive been to.

good vibes good music.

[n311go]

This song is a masterpiece. It embodies everything that 311 is about: positivity and unity.

Best. Lyric. Ever: Don't give up the fight to stay alive and even if you have to find the reason of another's pain if they lose you. If not for your self then those around who care like I do. One day you'll see the clear blue beyond the gray sky.

[splixum]

@n311go thanks bro.... i almost didnt get out of bed this morning, until i read this comment, and i took a hot morning dump right after. and the dump reminded me once again... of your comment.. thank u so much dr phil

[martyboyyy]

sadly it is about his friend committing suicide,

[shickywhicky]

this is exactly the message i needed to hear. let the positivity spread! peace,love and happiness to you and yours

[Rub8623]

One of the first 311 songs I ever listened to. Loved them ever since!!! Great song, great lyrics with meaning. All these guys are really cool and love their fans. WOO HOO 311 2010 ATL!!! And Halloween show!!!! Lets all hang out as creatures on halloween in atl

[splixum]

@Rub8623 DUDE I LIVE IN KANSAS AND WERE HAVING A HOUSE PARTY, COME FROM ATL AND LETS MAKE OUT

[mrfinkle213]

This is the song that made me stop cutting myself. I was listening to my Zune on shuffle, and I had my razor knife out, pressed against my wrist, and this came on. I hadn't heard it before, and I stopped for a moment to listen. The lyrics penetrated my soul and made me throw my razor knife away.

[luvaboi15]

@mrfinkle213 This song was made to try and prevent people from commiting suicide. And I guess it works

[Dimes329]

@mrfinkle213 Totally normal. Glad to hear 311 could help. You should see them live

[LosTScopez]

@mrfinkle213 cool story bro

[splixum]

@mrfinkle213 BRO.... i totally know what you mean.. one time, my uncle kissed me on the cheek, but i didnt know how to receive it, then.. all of the suddon this song came on, and we started making out....... i felt so free, then i touched his no-no place... he penetrated my soul, so deep, so so deep.

[MrRoostyr]

@mrfinkle213 I don't know you but I'm proud of you. Your words give hope. Just like 311's lyrics.

[damnation999666]

@mrfinkle213 you fucking emo piece of shit this music isnt for you get the fuck out of here!

[SchlickTheSpartan]

@damnation999666

Wow.. You couldn't be anymore inconsiderate of people and their emotions, could you? You know, one day you'll be depressed about something, and I hope someone says something like this to you.

[damnation999666]

@SchlickTheSpartan chill man just a troll,enways who cares wat people say over the internet :)

[wioneo]

@SchlickTheSpartan no some people are just ass holes, and ass holes usually don't get depressed because they'res always some pussy to be made fun of

not being an ass hole must suck

[KingDiamonds100]

@mrfinkle213 emo

[lethalfacey]

@mrfinkle213 no u did not

[BluEDrEaMT]

@mrfinkle213 Glad to hear you are off the knife. Don't pay attention to anyone talking shit to you, they aren't pushing the positive feelings 311 wants us to hear. Live life and love!

[Dreth363]

@mrfinkle213

You are such a bitch, finish the job.

[wioneo]

@mrfinkle213 so you just quit like that? wuss!

[davidpawar]

@mrfinkle213 what happened when the song ended?

[arabkid1712]

@mrfinkle213 its good that this song did that, but then the fact that your sharing it to the world over youtube blog shows one thing. You ,put yourself in such a unhappy state, and you need to whatch what you say to people. killin yourself isnt something you tell a hot babe let alone anyone your meeting without truly knowing who they are and that they wont judge you for it.

[kraziestdork24]

@mrfinkle213 my story for this song is almost similar to yours. I didn't this song had that effect on more folks like it did me.

[spicshewter]

@mrfinkle213  AHHAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAH PUSSY

[jtgober87]

@mrfinkle213 this shit is getting so fucking old. everyone posts a cheezy ass suicide note to get bumped up to the top. fucking lame.

[TamGnolruf]

@mrfinkle213 keep cutting yourself you fucking douche

[MERTizJAMMIN]

@mrfinkle213 dude, 7 months later i just read your comment. thats deep man. how have you been doing since then?

[RJnortheast]

@mrfinkle213 If your out of razor blades id be happy to buy you more..........

[17DeanRobbins]

@mrfinkle213 fucking loser

[KiiNAnGL]

@mrfinkle213 7 months ago... i bet my balls he killed himself anyways lol R.I.P. dude

[mateo51790]

@mrfinkle213 LMAO

[seanpull]

@mrfinkle213 LOL

[banana1783]

@mrfinkle213 thats what 311 is all about making people happy :)

[burl0721]

My cousin was killed in a car accident on the way to a 311 concert. The bass player mentioned it in his twitter. This was Chris's favorite song RIP Chris Miller :'(

[banana1783]

@burl0721 thats nice sorry about your lost man

[FallForYou1039]

311 is so kickass. This reminds me so much of my childhood, and it just reminds me of the people I love hanging out with in my area. People in downtown Maryland love this shit! :)

[ben102590]

saw 311 last night in Mansfield, MA...I was so pumped when they played this song

[suppatoph]

Who cares. Shut up and dig on some world class tunes baby!

[CaymanS21]

311 doesnt make bad songs lol

[RustyMobile]

[hungryjack2004]

@delathblue your a fucking clown you cant die from weed you prolly jus made that shit up to prove your stupid ass beliefs

[MrBlukron1k]

man ive heard all the 311 songs but ive never heard this fucking song dude wtF

[FourTeeShirts]

just found out that this song is about nick's friend david who killed himself.

turns out david mentioned a "cloud of darkness" in his life.

sad. rest in peace.

awesome song.

thumbs up.

[fancygremlin]

311 is a good band, it just hit me when I looked up these lyrics, they are deep...deep like a a marijuana spell... ;-)

[splixum]

@fancygremlin uhhhh, hey, totally thompson... thanks

[carsomyr420]

Weed is god in my world

[IDontLikeToShare]

@Dealthblue No there has NEVER EVER been 1 recorded marijuana overdose. Fact is some people function better with a good buzz, specally artists. True it makes people lazy, but really theres nothing wrong with weed in moderation. Its the wasteoids that spend all day puffin that gives us recreational smokers a bad name.

[brucebrucegonecrazy]

i cant smoke weed anymore, probation : /

smoke spice gold, its 10x better than weed, and legal,, bahahaha

its crazy good, expensive as hell tho, but better, im sure its horrible 4 ur health tho

[MitchellLoves420]

[brucebrucegonecrazy]

@MitchellLoves420 basically man made weed...its supposed 2 b a incent...but u smoke it...n b fuckered uuuuupppp

[carsomyr420]

@brucebrucegonecrazy  its call k2 where i live stipid town & sourround town is tryn 2 out law it fuckn pigs

[brucebrucegonecrazy]
