Glad im not just a photo at those seats. Which i had found this song in my darker days but im glad i found it it stands to reminde me where i am and where i come from.....
i've fortunatly never lost anyone in this way, but listening to this song, i can almost feel the pain you all are going through. i'd never be able to comprehend fully what it feels like for you guys who have lost someone in this way. you all have my condolances and well done for staying strong <3
@diannabowen It really adds to the sense of emotional urgency in the song and helps convey the message. It's heartbreaking to see Lars in such a state, though. :/
Just remember that suicide is the answer but it is not a solution. I'm not in the best place right now either but I've seen the best of days. I've seen the worst of days. It'll get better buddy.
I'm 31. I dealt with suicidal thoughts as a teen. If I could go back and give the young, depressed me a message, this is it:
Fuck 'em. Seriously, fuck every single one of them. To every geek, nerd, dork, fag, queer, whatever...in the words of Mike K., "Once you get outside, WE RUN SHIT." IT? Nerds. CEO? Super-nerd.. Screenwrtier? Geek. Producer? Dork. Manager? Gay. After high school, WE ARE GODS. So just have patients and you get to point and laugh as YOU SIGN THEIR FUCKING PAYCHECKS!
i couldnt listen to this song without crying honestly...i lost a great friend who was exactly who i counted as a brother, part of my family to me and i saw him kill himself and i cant sleep right anymore...knowing my best and closest friend danny is gone...
I can't help but tear up every time I hear this song. My best friend for the first 15 years of my life committed suicide when I was 19. I always wished we hadn't drifted apart and that I could have done something to help him through whatever he was going through. I will never forget him. This song really captivates what it is like to have someone close pass away like this.
This reminds me of a kid who killed himself my freshmen year of highschool..it effected so many people. It was devistating and our school now takes threats such as "I can't do this" or "I'm going to end it" more serious now.
This song will always make me think of my friend, who killed himself Freshman year of high school. Rest in Peace Carl, we all still miss you. Hope you're taking Heaven by storm, can't wait to see what you've done with the place when I get there. You'd best save me a good seat.
I love this song so much. Suicide has been a common theme throughout my life, all three of my sisters and my dad have attempted at least once, and a few months ago I tried to kill myself as well. My situation isn't better now, it's actually worse, but I learned how bad it hurt all my friends and family were when they found out. Whenever I start to get really depressed, I listen to this song and think of how much they all love me. Thank you MC Lars and all involved, including the AFSP.
My friend Jami just killed herself 12/30/10 at age 23 over her family not understanding/supporting her choice sexual orientation. She is well missed and never forgotten. We will always remember your smile and never stop loving you..
I am so sorry - and that is a growing problem among the gay community - we need to help them see there is help out there for them and there is a light at the end of the tunnel!!
RIP to one of my best friend's father. He ended his life and I have seen the toll it has taken upon my friend. Renee' keep your head held high. Your father is proud of you.
Unlike everyone else here... I've never lost someone and I am so grateful for it... and I pray that I never loose someone to suicide. And I really don't understand how someone could Unlike this video
This December will be the 3 yr anniversary of my cousin Andrew's suicide. It always hurts thinking about how much more attention I could have showed him. Our family hasn't been the same since. We miss you, buddy...forever 16.
Thanks for this Lars. This song hits close to home for me. I've attempted suicide myself, and have lost too many friends to it as well. Even though none of them are here today physically, they will always live on within me.
Thank you for the song I lost my best friend and husband August 15 2010 my life will never be the same without him in my life he was my best friend for 20 years and I was not there for him at his darkest moment to hold him and tell him everything will be ok as I had done so many times I will always cherish our love and keep him in my heart forever. Thank you again for the song ! R I P my love
This song came out immediately after one of my closest friends tried to kill herself. She was millimeters away from death. If her friend hadn't suspected that she had OD'd and never called 911 when she did, the story would've been much different. Still hurts to think about it.
More people should watch this amazing video, it would help so many, it's a very moving emotional video, I'm trying my best to spread to let more people know about it.
Bless you for being a friend, Lars. It's so damn hard to reach out when the dark thoughts overwhelm, but finding someone who will actually LISTEN when one summons to courage to talk truth is almost impossible. Humans are just naturally uncomfortable dealing with another's pain, and without funds, there is nowhere to turn to. May your rap burn thru the apathetic fog like a laser to wake more people up to the reality of depression before THEY lose someone. "Every 16 minutes"...
I hope one day everything's going to be easier for you.
I know the feeling to lose someone you love.
the guy in the video named patrick hilsmann was my brother.
sometimes it's hard to get trough the day, I don't want to forget him, I just want to live with the fact that he lives in a much better world now and that he's happy.
I started listening to atom and his package and found myself listening to you Lars a few years later. I love the style of your music and to see that you are able to make such a leap to a dark place amazes me. I don't have a story like most people here, but I am sure it will change lives.
This is an amazing and moving song. Thank you MCLars for putting your feelings to words, I have adored your music for years, and am continually impressed with your talent and the heart behind your words. Thanks to AFSP for helping get the word out. It means alot to those suffering from depression, myself included.
@mlrimer1 You don't know me, obviously, but I just wanted to say that I'm sure your son was an outstanding person, and I know he'd be proud of Lars for this, as well as you. Thanks to both you and Lars, lives are being saved. So, thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. It really helps to know that something good is coming out of this tragedy. It's the only thing that helps the pain. Thank you for thinking of Pat and for letting me know that Lars struck a chord with you. People like you help me see the good side of life.
Thank you to the AFSPNational and MC Lars, great song and video. Needs to be heard more by as many people as possible. Just because it should be thought provoking and let people know there is a way to get help. Much Love MC Lars!

Thanks for song and video, man. I can see it was hard to do but if helps one person, then it's all worth it. Keep up the good work, man. It's good to know there are still people making music that can be fun and music that can be serious. Love.
amazing... im blown away, lars you did it again. first time was the song and now the video, its so... so perfect. if this doesn't cause awareness don't know what will
A brilliant song, a brilliant video and for a brilliant cause. If this saves even one life then it's purpose is fulfilled, but I'm sure it'll save many more than that.
I'm a huge MC Lars fan and have been lucky enough to hang out with him. I loved this song from the first moment I heard it as it is something I hold close to my heart. I have lost far to many friends to suicide. I wish they could have heard this track. the vid is ace. Nice one Lars xxx
Thank you for coming to the show in Seattle. That was cool for you to come and support MC Lars, I lost my lil brother at 23, its not an easy thing. I've heard this song so many times it helps me to.
@The1andOnlyMrsMadden I lost my son Cory to suicide in November of 08...he was 22. My heart goes out to your family...I understand your pain. RIP Pat & Cory.
@asynodis If you notice, that;s the only part of the song that was edited out. In my opinion, it was a good idea to remove it. It sounded out of place on the original recording.
@Solarpolitiks Yeah. I know. I'm just saying. I told him when he wrote it to leave that part out and he didn't want to... it reminded me too much of the movie heathers which is not funny. But whenever I hear this song that line comes into my head now.
I lost a Grandfather to suicide when I was younger. No matter what age a person is when they take their own life, it still hurts.
Thank you Lars. Every time I think of my Grandfather, I think of this song, and just have to take a moment to say a prayer, in hope that those who need help can get it.
*hugs* to all those who lost someone they loved or cared about to suicide.
Yo man, this was sobering and chilling. I almost cried when watching this, and it reminds me all of my friends who've contemplated and attempted suicide. This is an incredible song.
This really is an amazing song. Most music I zone too, but I couldn't stop listening. I felt goosebumps, and couldn't stop thinking about my friend who came so close to this. Just amazing <3
By far one of his best songs and one of the most touching songs i can think of, Pats convo brings this song to life, and i feel Lars' inner self. Great song <333 RIP
Can't begin to say how much I respect artists that support causes like this, Thank you Lars.

For what’s done is done So there’s no turning back

Remember me when I float past On a silent gentle breeze
Whenever you think of me Please put a smile on your face
That helps me to grow stronger Giving me a warm embrace
Also remember when you sleep If you see me in your dreams

A brilliant song, a brilliant video and for a brilliant cause. If this saves even one life then it's purpose is fulfilled, but I'm sure it'll save many more than that.

I remember this song. Good video man. Well done. I feel like some of your movements looked a little t0o 'gangster' for the feel of the song though.

I'm a huge MC Lars fan and have been lucky enough to hang out with him. I loved this song from the first moment I heard it as it is something I hold close to my heart. I have lost far to many friends to suicide. I wish they could have heard this track. the vid is ace. Nice one Lars xxx

@asynodis If you notice, that;s the only part of the song that was edited out. In my opinion, it was a good idea to remove it. It sounded out of place on the original recording.

@Solarpolitiks Yeah. I know. I'm just saying. I told him when he wrote it to leave that part out and he didn't want to... it reminded me too much of the movie heathers which is not funny. But whenever I hear this song that line comes into my head now.

Amazing video. Very real.
I lost a Grandfather to suicide when I was younger. No matter what age a person is when they take their own life, it still hurts.
Thank you Lars. Every time I think of my Grandfather, I think of this song, and just have to take a moment to say a prayer, in hope that those who need help can get it.
*hugs* to all those who lost someone they loved or cared about to suicide.

Andrew - you already know the effect this video had on me the first time you played it for me.
It's a great cause that needs to be supported. Make people aware and make them talk.
I miss you x
