  • this is the best break-up song ever!!!!

  • Really good song!! Love this. I sometimes wish I could say this what he's singing to my ex.

    :/

  • Every time I hear this performance, it never fails to make me tear up and get lost in my own miserable emotions. Aaron is simply amazing.

  • i said goddamn 

  • Every single lyric is magic. This song touches on so many levels it is unreal. Aaron Lewis is simply a God among men. Like if you agree !

  • i almost like this more than staind's rock version of this

  • Just had an eargasm!

  • arron lewis to sing the National Anthem at the super bowl? anyone?

  • their newest work. its like having tormented, dysfunction, and break the cycle all in one. Congrats guys. Aaron lewis is my favorite acoustic singer, and the only other person who even comes close is corey taylor on solo stuff and with stone sour. But wow, aaron is the voice of my generation (in my opinion).

  • Im 26, i fell in love with break the cycle (the first album i had heard new), i got tormented and dysfunction a few months later, and just loved his voice ever since. Now, im not going to lie, when i heard 14 shades of grey i felt like their style had evolved to much for me (its a good album, but it wasnt for me...kind of like "Lovehatetragedy" from papa roach. But I kept buying every cd they released, even if it was for only a few songs. The new album though, is terrific to me. Im so proud of..

  • Thanks for this amazing song. Post breakup is easier.

  • Simply put..Aaron Lewis is amazing!

  • Ah yes. Gets me through the wondering if I did the right thing, yes, yes I did.  Thanks Aaron for keeping it real for me. I'm ok now

  • Such a powerful song & still one of my most favorites by Staind/ Aaron Lewis. This version is fucking amazing! \m/

  • i listen this version so many times, and it feels like the first time. Its great awesome. I hope he make a cd and i hope there will more great singers like aaron lewis at the moment it is rar with so good singers :/

  • THE Voice !

  • Aaron is the puto amo, the master of the sickness and increidible minds

  • Um no thia is not the exact chord progression of nutshell tard! Jees some ppl!

  • do they sell cds of just him singing ?

  • @kungfuweasel78 Town Line was the closest to a solo record he has ever put out. Other than that, these Mohegan Sun shows have been stuffed away and forgotten much like all of the other shows he said he was going to nationally release.

  • i saw em do this, amongst others.. best time of my life

  • He opened with that? He stared at one place the whole song, looked to me he was making a point to someone.

  • wish there was a love buttone <3

  • slightly rewritten chords than nutshell. it does sound close as hell but play it and play nut shell different steps in chords.

  • Just seen him in Reno last month (for the 5th time) and as always...amazing...I try not to cry when I hear his voice...but I'm a nerd...his voice...his music has been my life and I know that's cheezy as heck...it's true

  • Aaron is to vocals as Clapton is to guitar.

  • Arron Lewis was born from God's left nut! Amazing!

  • @steve737700 who was in the right nut? :D

  • F...ing amazing

  • q buena cancion!!! eres mi idolo Aaron.... Staind forever!

  • This song to me seems to hit home in two different ways #1:(most obvious) A relationship meaning,a girl/guy messing with your head and etc. #2: a Political meaning (as mentioned in the lyrics) about how Presidents/Governments don't care about the peoples ideals and just do what they want.Like the lyrics from 4:43 +.But that's Just my take on this song.

  • @ryan06105 Technically not the same Chord Progression,though it is some of the same Chords.It's almost identical to Aaron Lewis' "Vicious Circles" song,if you want to look that up,there's a video with good quality and close up to the chords he plays.

  • still makes me cry

    

  • Cant belive that i've heard like 4 different acoustic versions of this song and in ALL of them he sings with a lot of passion.. Thats a great performer, that feels the songs he sings.

  • incredible!

  • even if u cant relate to these godly amazing lyrics you can just feel the raw emotion just listen to that voice just tell a story thru sound how fucking amazing is that STAIND FOREVER

  • God damn it I want the tabs to this song.

  • Like my comment before, Aaron doesnt open with Please and you can tell he was pissed singing it n was looking same direction during song, He was pissed off, you can see it and fortunatly for us you can hear it cause that was awesome.

  • Just Amazing.. I love the way he sings, and the passion he puts on his performance.

  • Aaron Lewis is the most legit artist out there. He's got the smoothest voice and he's a real red, white and blue-blooded Amerian.

  • btw.. pretty sure this song is about the music industry seeing as Staind typically writes about selling your soul just for a fuckin record deal. but thats my two cents worth.

  • Who was he pissed off at before he went onstage? I have seen him many times n never opened like that, He was IRATE

  • id so sell my soul to see him live just one time!

  • I live in germany and would sell my soul just to see him one time live on stage. :(

    Any offerings?

  • This song friggin rocks in acoustic and rock form

  • man, this dude is pissed

  • what idiots dont like this

    

  • @slikfist The bitches this song is dedicated to.

  • I wish I had asked him to sing this one live :s

  • This song hits so close to home, but i've always been a fan of your music. Love this one!!

  • Love the song, hits really close to home. Always been a fan of yours.

  • how in holy hell and all things green and blue does this not have more than 125 thousand views???

  • this guy has,as it seems, has healed himself from most of his deamons and is doin alright.Thorugh his songs.

  • superbe

  • aaron lewis is my idol... this song has inspired me far beyond the original...

    check out my channel to hear some nice soft acoustic stuff... please leave comments :) more stuff coming soon.

  • was at this show. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • cool song....wow....

  • ty staindsoul, i love staind and aaron so fucking much...

  • o my f...ing god that was f...ing amazing........yours songs always hit the spot some times i think we were made from the same fabric.........

  • i have NEVER heard a better version of this.....

  • listening to tis always calms me down..

    aaron lewis's talent couldn't even be summed up into words. hehe

    his voice is beyond beautiful

  • @HerCuppcake7 it's funneh how a song full of desperation and anger can be displayed on this point of view and soothe you and i couldn't agree with you more on what you said!

  • Aaron lewis is just AMAZING!

  • Comment removed

  • Kinda, the first chord is, but in Nutshell after that chord it quickly changes to G, D, then a variation of Cadd9 (no pinkie on the high e string). It's close though. This is an awesome song by the way!!

  • i like the way he can take an awesome song,slow it down and make it so................

    amazingly more awesome.

  • Wow the sound quality is amazing! Thank God for that man. His music saved my life countless times. His voice is so haunting and yet captivating at the same time. Awesome.

  • i wish i was that guitar!

  • 3:50 ! Epic ..

  • I love this one !!

  • esa cancion se la dedico a mi primera novia la cual me termino por razones que nunca conoci....

  • strongly moving, hits me personally, my fav song.

  • wow, I love this song, I hear over and over again and never get tired of hearing this.

    aaron's voice is amazing, how the sentiment attached to the song? is amazing ...

  • verse:

    Em D

    chorus:

    G D B Em

  • to sum up aaron lewis in one word would have to be "legend"

  • @docnelly I would say "God," but thats just because Aaron Lewis is real, not legend

  • @DethTilDeath69 i stand corrected

  • Just  Wooooow

  • Wow, it's so refreshing to watch one of Aaron Lewis' performances and not listen to the incessant chattering of the audience. These people were awesome, they sat quietly and listened to the awesome voice that is Aaron Lewis. They applauded when he came out and applauded when he was done. That's how it should be when a great artist is on stage.

  • what r these chords???

  • This guy is mentally f'ed up, but good god is this guy awesome and beyond talented.

  • wow.... this song is so different acoustic.... so much more calm

  • @Aerosmith102 --- i had heard the original version, but the guitar was much too fast for the lyrics of the song. i didn't even like the original. this acoustic version is exactly how this song should be done, absolutely amazing.

  • i fell ya brando i just caught my wife cheating on me and she doesnt know i know. Going to break the bad new to her today wouldnt be that bad but we have a 4 year old. but i thank god for aaron his music heals the soul

  • BEAUTIFUL!

  • "stop telling me that is ok i dont buy all the shit that you say and quite honestly im fucking sick of it" i love that line you just tired of hearing the same shit and you just want to say im sick of it i love it

  • Im waiting for the acoustic solo album, anyone knows the date?

  • I'm crying

  • Aaron Lewis is by far one of the most influential musicians of our time. He is honest with his lyrics and a lot of people can relate with them. He knows how to take a song and make the listener feel the exact emotion he wants you to feel. He is no cliche singer/songwriter and has NEVER sold out. His music with staind is a progression just like any other band and they have shown how versatile they can be. All in all, Aaron lewis is what music SHOULD be!

  • Aaron Lewis is my hero. Plain and simple.

  • if he plays the song like this i get (german) gänsehaut xD

  • I love this song.  Aaron's voice is one of the best in modern music. Whether he's doing heavy songs like Spleen and Mudshovel, to songs like this, Let It Out, or Epiphany, Aaron's voice is the best. I've been fortunate enough to see Staind twice, but never Aaron solo. Can't wait for that opportunity :D

  • his voice is amazing so much emotion and pure talent and everything he writes everyone can relate to in someway he is deffinatly one of the best and most underrated artist of our time

  • Um, isn't this the exact chord progression of Nutshell?

  • nope. completely different.

  • @sta1ndsoul it's still an amazing song

  • @sta1ndsoul the crowd was awesome at this show he just played an iowa on 3/31/11 and everytime the man hit a high note people would scream it got annoying as hell

  • @sta1ndsoul really? at beginn i think first on nutshell. this live version is different to the cd version.

  • almost..shell has a C at the end of the progression

  • @ryan06105 .. Definitely different.. this one is Em and D chord a couple times, then goes into a C chord. Nutshell is EM, G, D, Cadd9

  • @ryan06105 XD so weird I just thought the same

  • @ryan06105 same chords different progression but hes really influenced by them so makes sense

  • way different

  • @AKcartoons

    LOL

  • @ryan06105 not really

  • can't wait to see him march 20th in WA

  • wow this song and and aarons voice gives chills this whole song is exactly what i wanna tell someone word for word

  • Aaron is my hero and his lyrics and voice has saved my life. hes inspired me to be a singer/songwriter and ive been doing it for 12 years now thanks to him. Aaron Lewis is in my opinion the greatest singer to ever pick up a mic

  • Amazing version of this song. I like this much better than the album version, and he is just amazing live. Awesome.

  • Great fucken song. Is there anyway this can be made into a mp3 file...I so badly want this song on a c.d

  • The Chorus is like isnt it?

    C - D - B - G

    (half step down)

  • @Rensebrink91 yessir

  • YES IT IS C-D-B-G HALF STEP DOWN!!!

  • This song hits home, I think, for a lot of people. I had been with a girl for 1.5 years and spent the last 3 months of it on a "break". I did everything I could to show her how much I cared and wanted things to work, but everything I did was never enough. As of tonight, we're no longer together and the lyrics hit harder than ever. Aaron Lewis/Staind has always been a master at touching so many people who are experiencing low moments of life. Listening to songs like this make it easier.

  • Went through the same shit shit man I feel your pain, Aaron was always my medicine so to speak.

  • fuck u bitch....takes a bigger man than you'll ever be to express yourself that way fag

  • @brando8383 been there man and i wish all the best for you. grab a guitar and play along with this song

  • I feel you man

  • @brando8383 That is exactly what i had felt.

    I saw this vid over and over again after my last relationship ends two years ago. Aaron screamed it out of my soul....thats is why i love Aaron´s music he always helped me to understand things in life ;)

    "Tell me please

    Who the fuck did you want me to be?

    Was it something that I couldn't see?"

  • bitch ain't worth it man....if you've already given it your all and it still ain't enough for her then fuck her, it's her loss.  move on and find someone who'll appreciate u for what u are. good luck =)

  • @dergru

    she didnt want to work it out so that makes her a bitch?! well, that makes u a douchebag

  • @dergru I would "thumbs up" this a hundred times if i could :D

  • @dergru I am going thru a tough time in my life right now and I read your comment and it meant a lot to me evben if it wasn't meant for me. God Bless

  • @dergru I just might be in love with you.

  • @brando8383 Same here man...

  • @brando8383 Same here, man...

  • @brando8383 its not about a girl!

  • It's funny how songs can hit so close to home. I to feel like this song fits in my sitution in life. Aaron Lewis is such a great artist!!!

  • god.

  • I love this song. It fits so damn good to my situation in life. Aaron Lewis sings out of our souls. It´s a godlike skill to write such songs, I´m gonna learn to play it.

  • Please don't...

  • this is fucking beautiful.

    holy shit.

  • goosebumps wow

  • thudec a douchebag !! this song can apply to almost any situation get over yourself

  • i know exactly what you mean.

  • uhmmm.. maybe you should read their lyrics.. all of 14 shades of grey, all of break the cycle.. you don't even know.

  • @thudec suck a dick. listen to him more and you will see that he is god with tatoos.

  • @thudec must be something mentally wrong with you if you dont love his lyrics....

  • Yes!!!!

  • Wow..nothing short of amazing

  • no busts it out any better

  • Tormented

  • He needs to record an acoustic album with all these great songs, he sounds fuckin awesome like this, hes voice is so powerful.

  • supposed to be coming out with one by the end of this year..no date release..but i have been waiting forever..ill definatley be one of the first to pick one up in my county ;)

  • Dysfunction is their first album i thought

  • Tormented actually came out in 1996. They recorded it themselves and only sold a few thousand copies. IT has the original version of Mudshovel on it. Check it out if you haven`t!

  • Ive been a fan ever since i bought the first album with mudshovel on it i think thats the name of the song

  • anyone know the guitar he has in this?

  • gibson.. kinda like the john lennon sig =]

  • Gibson J-45

    I know he does play a lot of Alvarez/Yairis though.

  • Gibson J45 i think

  • Aaron should get more recognition, he is a talented singer. I like the fact he sings with everything he has, Don't get me wrong i like a wild show, but hes very good.

  • aaron, will you marry me?????????? your music is so DEEP and the words just move me--literally............... where have you been all my life?

  • sorry hes already married lol

  • Fucking beautiful!  awesome

  • does anyone have this in mp3 format

  • someone send me this in MP3 format.

  • The story of my life.

  • I just think it is sad that he doesn't get more recognition. He is a true great artist. I heard a demo of Dysfunction in 99 and have loved them ever since....so much talent.

  • Home got me hooked on them. Besides, they're from my home state of Massachusetts. gotta love it.

  • This man is awesome!!!!! great voice Aaron!!!!!!!!
