Marianas Trench - Lover Dearest @ The Starlite Room, Edmonton (April 4, 2009)

[candygirl4703]

To see josh cry is just so sad it made me want to start crying! I am so proud for josh! MT FOREVER!-3

[thanksf0rthemusic]

my family doesnt understand why he is so important to me. This is why, he has gone trough a lot of things, like bulimia, and his adiccion to heroin, but he got over it. This is why.

[Yothatsmysombrero]

This brought me to tears. The first song I've ever listened to by anybody that actually made me cry. :/

[MarianasTrench009]

And anyone who has an addiction or anything should know that there is help and support in this world.

[MarianasTrench009]

Every time I watch this video, it does make me want to cry. Josh is crying in this video and it shows me how much this song makes him remember every single moment of what happend with his addiction. This song is very powerful and it shows that when you watch Josh when he sings. He put so much passion and effort for this song and were lucky he shares this with us. This song is deep, filled with so much emotion. The people who scream or laughat the song seriously need to realise what it is about.

[morganramsay13]

Oh my god. Those girls have no respect for him whatsoever

[varruda2020]

I've seen him perform this live, and it is by far one of the best songs. I didn't really appreciate it until after I had seen him perform it. He sings it with such emotion, this is why Marianas Trench is one of the best. They sing songs that actually have a point to them.

Even if you've seen them live before, nothing compares to seeing Skin & Bones and Lover Dearest done acoustic.

[gingerbear7777]

Josh, please don't cry. I know it hurts you, and I feel terrible. But, it makes me bawl my eyes out to know it's still hurting you. You have no idea how much us Trenchers look up to you and the entire band. Especially you just for being so strong. MT FOREVER! <3

[JayJayKing215]

i cried. he's so strong <3

[DecemberUnDead]

I personally think that it was HUGELY disrespectful for those girls to sing and talk when Josh was singing. Let the guy sing. He deserves that after all he has been through. Remember that the next time you see them live.

I love Josh for this. Not because of his hair, or his ties, or his humour, or his voice. I love Josh because he is so real and he has such heartfelt emotion. And I hate it to see that all of their "new" fans are just a bunch of girls who consider him a piece of meat.

[maky6675]

Makes me wanna cry when I see him struggling like that(you can tell he's trying not to let his voice crack on the bridge)and especially at the end :(

[LightChaosChao]

omg I almost cried watching this. :'( this song has definitely become my favorite--due to the fact that the other day i was listening to it and thinking about stuff and I ended up bawling. :( Josh is so amazing...I know I wouldn't be able to sing a song about something so personal in front of tons of people...

[TheCanadiangirl95]

Omg he is so amazing. I am so happy he kicked the habit and is able to sing about it so he can show other people who may be struggeling it's possible to stop and be successful, and that life is worth living. I don't know about you guys but I feel like I can relate to him so much ( not that I did drugs) but he is just so cool. Ah you gotta love his songs :)

[OfficSPUnknown]

im just wondering...is the starlite room all ages?

[AJoyJoy123]

@OfficSPUnknown It depends on who's playing. All the other Marianas Trench shows that were at the starlite room before this one were +18.

[OfficSPUnknown]

@AJoyJoy123 well ok, but the thing is their a few bands that i like that are going to be playing there on august, its on something called the summer slaughter tour.

[AJoyJoy123]

@OfficSPUnknown You should check the ticketmaster page, it usually says if the show's all ages or +18

[SugarCelebi]

I love this song, it's simply beautiful. I always kind of thought it was about his drug addiction...he's such an amazing person.

But yeah, the fangirls chatting at the beginning? So disrespectful! I would have slapped the bitches...

[Musicfreekify]

omg, I'm about to cry :( poor Josh

[MsMusicObsession]

I always thought this song was about a girl... until i saw it live.... i started to cry so much, and everytime i listen to it i get choked up.

amazing song, even more amazing emotion

[hurleydude1992]

whoever is holing the camera is mentally challenged

[Emmziebabe]

those girls really do need to shut their traps!

Josh = AWESOME

<3 U

[ImAFan1877]

Poor Josh, it was so adorable though! It made me tear up! I love him so much and I'm happier then anything he's alive and healthy and happy now!

[pantspavey]

i wish they played this son in ottawa, i was so sad he was sick...but he still sounded fucking sexy;)

[YasminDarcey]

Omg can't those girl like not talk?! Im soo gonna cry when they do this song. Yuss 9 more days!

[Blooberry95]

I can't believe he can still sing straight while hes crying... I feel bad for him.

[xdorkiiee]

I just cried. Wow.

[TvScreene]

I was at this concert and i was crying when he was singing

[Blooberry95]

STUPID RETARDED KIDS!! FOR THE SAKE OF MY SANITY AND THE WORLD JUST SHUT UP FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES!! (spaz alert) D:<

[skatingqueen15]

that is like the cutest thing i've ever seen!!

AHHWHY CANT I GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG ?!?!

i cant wait to see them in ottawa on october 23rd :))

[drjh20]

awh hes crying :'(

makes me cry :(

so sad.

[l0Ve42]

i love that he has so much strenght to let everyone know that he is fighing this not just for himself but for the ones that he love. i dont think he wants us to feel sorry for him but to know that he's doing great

[drjh20]

i so agree with you, i was gunna say that, its sooo powerful. makes me cry everytime to know that he was struggling with it and almost died. i love him so much.

[FanOfMarianasTrench]

Right at the end when Josh looks away I feel so sorry for him because you can tell he is crying. Also I wonder what Ian, Mike and Matt think when they see him cry. Epecially Ian because when Josh looks away he looks over where Ian is. I really feel bad for him. Some people don't even care about what he went through and that is wrong. Josh always makes me cry when I watch vids like this, and when listening to the song. Poor, poor Josh to have to sing this many times, Strength is what he has.

[isthe]

see, now why doesn't anyone else think like that?

[FanOfMarianasTrench]

I'm not sure, this means a lot to me...because he is my idol for what he has gone through, and I don't care what anyone says about it. It takes strengh to do what he did with his letter and this song. And no one can take that from him.

[isthe]

I know, I'm just saying, not many other people really understand that even though josh is amazing, he's still human, and he has feelings, and it's hard for him to remember things like that.

[coco5432676]

ugh omg poooor josh he made me cry my eyes out last nite from this song ill love him forever<3<3<3

[FanOfMarianasTrench]

He is crying, because of this song and if anyone thinks that it is wrong..... you have no emotion. He was going through a lot. And to be able to write and sing this many times... well he is strong to be able to.

[babybubblz11]

I remember when I saw them live and all the people behind me were talking and pushing, and I just stood there not saying a word watching him play. I could barely hear anyone else I was paying so much attention to them.

This song is amazing,

and so is Josh for being so open about it.

I love him. <3

[smasha]

Definitley could do without the girls talking and people screaming...it's a pretty serious song. I know when I saw this performed live, I couldn't speak at all...after learning what it was about, and seeing how emotive Josh was throughout the performance, I was transfixed.

[hunnie14]

agreed. It is quite annoying

[hunnie14]

It almost seems disrespectful. it is a very serious song and it comes from his heart.

[kittilola]

exactly! i wanted to just tell everyone to be quiet! I found it kind of disrespectful of people to be talking during the song. just my opinion though....

[Butterscotch0193]

its a good opinion..

its very serious and hard for him to be singing about this kind of stuff..

the least people could do is shut up for 3:30 minutes...

i agree with you 110%

[TheTotalToasterShow]

I've changed so much from hearing this song and hes helping me recover from things I never thought I could get off of. Thank you Josh. :*(

[melrks09]

He was crying at the end. WOW he showed a lot of emotions from this song. He is strong and to be able to sing this many times and always cry at the end... he is amazing and to show that he meant every single word of the song... it must have been hard for him. We love you Josh.

[Edeniloveyou]

Damn you, Josh Ramsay.

Way to make me bawl my eyes out.

:( <3

[culurblind]

the only thing im addicted to is this song

[Smurfy1211]

Josh is my hero<3

He is so strong.

I love this song

[yayayak]

i remember when he played this in calgary i threw my sun glasses at the stage and picked them up and wore them when he played this song,but they fell off cause they broke lol

[AJoyJoy123]

ahahah that's awesome!! xDD

[savethefuckingearth]

what is the starlite room like?

[AJoyJoy123]

It's small, and cozy hehe

I love it :]]

[lautner07]

i cried...

[7654321blastoff]

i was addicted to coke. i know exactly how he feels. this song word for word is what i went through.

[msmusicfan100]

Josh is so strong to perform this song . he is a very strong person and I look up to him

[uniquelove224]

this is not a song that you sing along to. you don't cheer during it. you don't talk. you sit there, and think about what he's saying, and what he's been through. hes sitting there crying and you're making stupid comments.

[AJoyJoy123]

um, jsyk, it was the people behind me that were talking, not me :]

[uniquelove224]

lol no its just people in general who do =P its disrespectful for a song like this.

[AJoyJoy123]

lol I see, and I totally agree with you :]]

[uniquelove224]

haha ya. I saw them on Saturday night, and I cried. lol. not gonna lie, and everyone was talking and I'm like no... not ok =P

[lime12321]

aww he looks so sad i makes me cry to see people sad even if its a random person on the street crying ill start tearing up im sad now.

[supahOBSESSED]

I was so surprised when I found out that he was a herion addict...XP

But look where it got him , with an amazing song . I bet you that those experiences gave him some edge that he now puts in his songs...

[happygurl37]

I just want to cry I love Josh,the first time i heard this song I listened to it in my room and started to cry. :')

[ProblemsInNumbers]

i have no hesitation when master peice theatre is the best album ive heard ever, period

and josh is probably one of the best artist out ther, his singing alone is amazing, but hes unbeleiveable for his composition, lyrics and intument playing.

[MaegansTrench]

i don't want people to take this the wrong way, because this song is more than applaudable.

but,

i almost think we shouldnt aplaud after this song.

just like how we don't applaud after the national anthem.

[Ceimbellina]

I love this song but it was breaking my heart to see him cry...........it must be so hard for him to do that -- put all his past out there.......and sing about it.....my heart goes out to him ♥

[twozigzages]

i was ther they wher so good

[ENTERLABELHERE]

i really wish there wasn't so much talking in the background in the beginning... this is such a beautiful song.

[MaegansTrench]

agreed.

[dannypanny123]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa joy i searched up marianas rench in edmonton then i saw this vid and i was like hey this is like joys view seeing the concert then i saw and it was your vid!

[AJoyJoy123]

lolol thats awesome xDD

[cyberneos]

im a guy and i cry at this song, hehe xD

josh is my biggest inspiration and it breaks my heart to see him cry. i never new how much a drug could hurt you!

[Ringers19]

I was there :)

[Pyymore]

i'm not sure if you guys noticed but when the light goes to a certain point, i think i saw him crying. WELL I KNOW I WAS AND WHY WOULDN'T HE, but was he?

[AlyssaFgt]

i cry druing this song too, haha.

i'm not sure if he was but it kinda looked like it at 3:30 and the end.

unless its just sweat?

[ENTERLABELHERE]

he is most defiantly crying.

[MarianasTrenchLuva21]

Me to they were amazing!!!

[brokenpromise90]

I was there too! I was so happy when he played this song. It's one of my favourites. They're so amazing live. I wish that night never ended lol.

[AJoyJoy123]

I know right? I miss it sooo MUCH!!!

His story though, made me sad, I always thought Lover Dearest was about a girl... Then if you listen to the lyrics closely after knowing what it's really about, it just makes you realize how fucked up the whole situation was and how hard it must've been to get out of it...

[brokenpromise90]

Me too! I thought it was about a really dysfunctional relationship where he was all like "I love you but we can't be together anymore" ... which in a weird way it kind of is.

And yeah, not listening to it, it makes so much sense that it's about the heroin. I knew that he was an addict and went to rehab, but it was heartbreaking to hear him talk about it.

I'm so happy that he's clean, though. I can't imagine life now without his music.

[KaylinKiwi]

i was there. :)

i have a video of it too haha.

I was on the corner.

[mtgurl411]

He has such an inspirational story. I love the emotion behind this song. I am looking foward to seeing it performed live myself.

[AJoyJoy123]

watching this preformed live was an AMAZING experience! You definitely will not be disappointed :]
