Henry Rollins - I know you

[AnnisaKJ]

He knows way too much about me, but he has saved me. This is so true. cried to death. :')

[Thagros]

Thanks for uploading. Need to check your spelling.

[dalektaliban]

this guy knows too much about me

[thestevenjcampbell]

meh. i used to really identify with this. i still was that way, but i dont know, i just sort of grew up and realized i cant dwell on it.

[90cta395]

I listen to this while I run. Hate and pain can be poison, or they can be fuel.

[Vidyadude]

I was just about to post this on /v/ but then i realised it was not video game related.

[08wallserc]

this was a very moving video that made me think...

[adlermedrado]

When i listened that, it looked like i was reading a book about myself, my youth.

[Coastergeekperson04]

Why is this so creepy?

[NotSolutha]

>mfw all the faggots from 4chan shitting up the comments

>mfw trying to green text on youtube

>mfw i have no face

[SluseFAK]

You don't know me at all bitch nigga B)

[toothyp1cks]

Holy shit this is whiny as fuck.

How about you stop wallowing in self pity and man the fuck up. You are the product of five millions years of human evolution,

FUCKING ACT LIKE IT.

[Jackalofdeath]

words words words no thanks

[fentarez]

>strawman

[Lemileant]

oh boy there's so many logical fallacies in this video

>implying you can be depressed and full of hate at the same time

[Lemileant]

you guys are beta as fuck

[ShwintyKat]

>the wekends

[SUICIDE213DUDE]

YES THIS IS WHAT UGLY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT SO NOW WHEN YOU LOOK AT AN UGLY PERSON(no that i know your ugly you might or might not or who ever reads this if they are ugly or not but maybe tghe mirror in some cases) AND THAT UGLY PERSON RESPONDS BY STARING BACK AT YOU FOCUSING ON YOUR EYES..THIS IS WHAT THAT PERSON IS SAYING...im one.....l....o....l

[Moue666]

2deep4u

[Stalagus]

@manlymacaroni this guy speaks the truth.

the song is litterally talking about me, but then I realized I don't give a crap about how people appreciate me, so I kept being that weird somewhat sympathic guy. as long as you don't care, you can't feel shame or disappoint anybody

[ZachCraft]

This has nothing to do with being introverted, it's about being beta as fuck.

Introverts don't think like this.

[BlueBlackInside]

is this what ugly people actually talk about?

[TheVidyaValley]

I think you could of said "I think I know you" more

[MisterOjeteMoreno]

fuck yeah NIN

[AnimeGuy9]

Eh, more or less.

[burnstagger]

I make more than most people so go ahead and mess with me.

[fehlberg2]

deep person,like his music better though..........he says a lot of this in his songs- i like his heavy, jazz influenced rock,its great

[manlymacaroni]

the trick is not to care

[anordinaryboy]

this works well with "Kingdom Come" by HLLYH playing in the background.

[lokalllize]

what about the people that made lies about you insulted you tried to destroy you and any one new was told to avoid you

[IMakeULoveMe]

here we meet again /v/

[HaxzPwnz]

all i ever wanted was to fit in ...........

[sk8man3123]

[kinsella]

Self pity doesn't make you a hero.

[kamakazi2o6]

@kinsella no, it makes you an hero.



[HandsInTheEarth]

I first heard this a very long time ago now... I remebered it the other day - glad to have been able to find it on here - no idea where the old crappy cassette that I had it on has got to these days! Thanks for uploading :) :) :)

[GriefTourist]

this is fucking art.....here's to those who tread the less worn path

[Iamafatkid1]

Henry Rollins you are my hero! :)

[Name0Waster]

you seem to know me very well mr. Rollins

[spittingbloodhc]

Sometimes people forget the gifts and talent that come with taking a Punk Rock approach to life, such as this song.

[BluelightSpike]

"It's not that i don't like people, it's just that i feel better when they are not around."

- Charles Bukowski.

Never cared about everyone picking on me.

I knew i was diferent the day i chose to stay home, writing novels and reading while everyone was out, drinking, being "Wild".

I'm sensitive, as much as i'm Sarcastic when i feel threatened.

Now, i can truly understand that "Social Apathy" gives me time to keep writing... And being happy, with myself, my oh so strange and kind self.

[NeoTStyle]

Stop giving a fuck, like I did.

There, all problems solved.

[murdernumber222]

@NeoTStyle It's true though right? I'm like this, but I don't give a fuck, I have no feelings, I tell people what I'm thinking all the time, even if it hurts them, stop caraing about other people, fuck them, follow your dreams. Because if you let somebody else make you feel a certain way, they will become the most important thing in your life, for good or bad.

[CollinxThexHuman]

I didn't watch past about 2:05 but is there any part where the people are actively going against the person this passage/poem/diatribe was about? Because so far, all I've read about was a person who never tried to make friends but endlessly whined about how he had none

[thewonderfulkaty1]

This has been me for a couple years now.. all of it. ALL. It's kind of depressing. My 'best friend' since birth recently stopped talking to me completely. I told her everything. She told them. They all laughed, and laughed. Why they don't like me? Because I'm different. I just found a potential friend; we're both different than everybody else. We have so much in common it's unreal; but I'm starting to think he doesn't like me. I hope he will, I really need someone to tell everything to. <3

[LordOfTheFridge]

Pure, unblemished autism.

[moocowpunk]

what doesnt kill you only make you stronger.im always alone,its me and my shadow against the world.

[andreww1212]

This was me in middle school and high school as well. In the end all of the people that go through this succeed in any way possible. It just takes a lot of tenacity and hard work. Remember the best revenge is living well. I have never realized or understood this until I grew up. People that are bullied these days need to see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you focus on the present, terrible things will happen. You have to look five or ten years into the future.

[jhhj635]

God. This was my youth. Unfortunately things didn´t change so much. :-(

[nulla93]

This was me all through middle school and the first half of high school.

[poboburgner]

I have the biggest feel

[spittingbloodhc]

@poboburgner I know that feel, bro

[yahariful]

The words and tone of reassurance at around 4:45 are just perfect. Henry, your words hurt because they're true. Can I be your friend?

[Gerappaboy]

Every word like a dagger in my heart,in my soul.I never met Henry before but he knows me better than anyone that I know.

[RavenousMedicine]

this was me. and i think at one point you either grow with it and turn it into something that helps make you strong, or you let it eat you alive.

[GayGeisha]

Solitude is a hard won ally, faithful and patient.

[tanvo93]

the cool kids dont..we are the others

[gavintwin]

this is me no shit

[Crizy1995]

And I tought that no one could ever understand. It´s kind of funny. I just can´t stop crying. How can someone understand it so completely? Thanks Henry. This will carry me. Someone understands. How can I ever thank enough? And thank you Sonja. You showed this to me. You made me cry. But thank you anyway.

[shanepealow44]

This song i think saved mine and many others lives, Henry rollins, saved me.

[960random]

Another henry rollins childhood soliloquy. Buh-buh-buh-boooorrrinng.

[caffeineproblemful]

I relate to this in alot more than one way. This is the most brutally self describing peice of art I have ever had the priviledge of listening to. I wish I could meet Henry and tell him how much of a inspiration he is to me. His work has made me laugh, cry, be hot with rage, understand, and be inspired to get help with my anxiety.

[Fightosaurus]

IMO, Clubbed To Death paired better with Mr. Rollins' verse than A Warm Place. Sorry to see that it's been tossed down the memory hole.

[berner]

If I had super powers I wouldn't have a costume, with super strength etc.

I'd just stay me and exist silently among the crowd and my super power would be the ability to cause whoever I chose to point at to hear this poem in their head and feel it's emotion and relate to it, except that to them it would be 5 minutes and 43 seconds, but to the rest of us it would be a nano second. I would use this power on people who drive by and yell things like "FAG!" from the passenger seat just to be assholes

[MrALEXisBORING]

Brutal

[schmuddelfinger]

When the daydreaming stops but everything else continues.. Life becomes a terrifying & nightmarish trip. ~

[strl3mon]

I can relate completely

[Ropes440]

If you can't relate to this and pressed dislike, then you are and were part of the problem. Too self absorbed, self centered and selfish. And people wonder why Columbine happened.

[outcastbeta]

He is fucking talking about me Henry Rollins is my new imaginary friend!!!

[GreenySaysFu]

@blindfatkid23 enjoying,loving,fucking with the loved person.

[SuperMelon1]

This is lightly frightening. Damn.

[VonLeachim]

" birds sing to you at night, the rain and the sun, the changing seasons are true friends"

[VonLeachim]

" birds sing to you at night, the rain and the sun -

- the changing seasons are true friends, solitude is a hard won ally faithful and patient"

......"

[visious73]

and then you found punk rock...

[xxdropdeadgoregousxx]

My life, is right here.

[parasitic15]

Half of these things may not actually apply to you, but since he adressed this to "you" you made connections to these vague statements so that they'd relate to you in some way, disregarding the statements that are palpably false (ie. "you had bad skin" when you had good skin), all to make you "lolwut" at how "accurate" this is, amirite?

[haschkakor]

@parasitic15 'tis obvious. Some of us just want an identity, something we can relate to. And then some douchebag like you comes and rains on the parade.

[godsmackfan1]

@parasitic15 id say that you are very right because in some ways this is me and in other ways this is what i see in other people and in many more ways how some see life

[tr4d3m4rk44]

@parasitic15 I don't think it matters that all of his words don't apply. I think it's more amazing that this relates to so many people, and that mostly all of us could probably see some aspect of our life covered by the message of his words.

[antonsaidmeatloaf]

FUCK YEAH INTROVERTS

[hypnosrises]

@antonsaidmeatloaf HUZZAH! VIVA INNER STRENGTH!!

[MrMetallicFreak]

Love this, it relates to me in a way im not used to anymore

[liveinacake]

made my day

[WHTBOII]

"you dont trust people, you know them to well". damn that has my name written all over it

[eyevocal]

The line near the end is "Solitude is a hard-won ally--faithful and patient."

[ProphetWolf]

Story of my fucking life. Everyone calls me a fuck-up or a loser just because I see things differently and don't "play ball" like everyone else does. They call me useless and a childish just because I have different goals and want different things. Fuck your white picket fences, fuck your mediocre lives, and fuck you. I'd rather try and fail than not try at all; at least that way I'll have made an effort.

[Sarathevamp]

@ProphetWolf Same here..

[Themexicanguanorat]

His voice kinda sounds shot from screaming too much.

Anyone else every notice that? lol.

[mrfudgeyhead]

Henry Rollins continues to impress me more and more.

The punk scene has so many brilliant inspiring characters.

[haschkakor]

Meds work against the anxiety but makes you numb. I'd rather feel hate than feel nothing. Meds fucking suck.

[SamuraiSentai]

This descibes me. But let me offfer some word which somebody said to me a few days ago. We all suffer letdowns and disapointment but why should that stop us. Instead of focusing on the 99 disapointments, focus on the 1 that wasn't. Focus on the one thing tha wasn't a let down. Don't let things drag you down.

[worldclasspervert]

does anyone have a download for the audio?

[unlockthepower]

@worldclasspervert Google

[halogirlx]

sums up my teenage years perfectly

[RosesBelikov]

@jstoecker53 I agree, it's a fucking ride, but don't let yourself give up on finding some kind of happiness. Don't always be so hard on yourself and others. I'm not saying don't embrace your pain. Embrace it all you want, but try and find ways to enjoy life, and not from pain and hate. Find something to love. You don't even have to FIND it per se... If you open yourself up to it, it will find you. :/

[AMENAZAwarriorbear]

@jstoecker53

f-king amen comrad

turn yout pain in energy

but be carefull

pain and hate are some powerfull horses to ride

i know

[AMENAZAwarriorbear]

@jstoecker53

AGREE

but even we

thosse who live in a rage cage

need something else once in a while

KEEP IT STRONG DUDE

[JMSTek76]

I think I know whoever typed these subtitles always finds a way to screw it up...

[cruelty113]

very intense

[oktoberK]

I this about Joe cole?

[mastermultitasker]

@oktoberK

i don't think so.

[AMENAZAwarriorbear]

thosse who "FEEL" this speach are those who walk in hell when they was young the rejected ones the ones who came out stronger ans wiser in my case hate use to be my fuel i had hug it for so long blame to all the people who step on me i step on them big time on by one but now i'm alone again guess i dint came out agfter all so please people take my advice always leave some room for love in your life

[Ziggygunner]

this isnt music its called spoken word and if you havent gone through this, you wont understand. i know this and i can say face this quite a bit. this isn't depressing its introspective and you will feel it...in your throat. i hide or try to hide my pain most the time and i asked myself those questions and i still feel that hatred but my friends keep me lit

[redman8903]

this video turned my life around. I just decided to just go for things.

[iOnceAteARock]

haha this is some self pitying bullshit :D

[blindfatkid23]

@iOnceAteARock well every village has an idiot...

[soundwave010]

It's like Henry Rollins is peering into my very soul...

[DNAdrianMorris]

Give me a thumbs up if this is true, just so i can see the results, When someone is nice to you, you don't know how to react, you almost cower/hesitate when you receive a compliment or positive words of value.

[FigarollaAbusiva]

BAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[3rkid2]

I'm not depressed, I just see the world how it is.

[GheoBlackPlum]

kill your gods, now!

[jtelliott77]

This is way too general to claim to be amazing

[MalcolmCarmen]

THIS IS THE STORY OF MY ASS BURGERS

[lordjdog]

@MalcolmCarmen I know what you mean XD

[ooglizer]

you need to get off your depressed wagon and hop on the sunshine wagon!

[Aghamorad]

@ooglizer Ahh, Peter, Peter, Peter. It's a beautiful piece of art. You have to accept that.

[Aghamorad]

This unbelievably good. It's as if Rollins is speaking to you. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

[vedranaflips]

That is all truth.

[AguntJ]

Ive actually been slightly depressed lately but him mentioning so many horrible things that I havent done or that havent happened to me just made me feel good about myself, I even started laughing when he said he knew me halfway through.

Oh well, I still have most of my life to become a horribly depressed shut-in, we'll see what happens.

[messiahofevil666]

Thank you for speaking to us henry. i think every one of feels you wrote this just for us, and thank you to the poster for and who mixed this a safe place by NIN,

I am everything on this list

[JayGOS117]

Fucking OW!!!

[weirdshinobi4077]

I FOUND MY ASPIE ANTHEM!!! He really does know me.

[FCule]

Does someone know more kind of "music" like this?? or similar??

please reply if you know

[Pasipaavali]

The music is from nine inch nails. Might wanna check them out.

[DrNeckbeard]

It's "Hard won ally" not "hard one align", retard.

[cbuma]

i think you'd have a really hard time finding someone that doesn't relate to this in one way or another

[Marlfox555]

@cbuma

which is the fucked up thing, no?

universal alienation is paradoxical.... and yet

[MysticReverie]

well done for posting this in such a clear way

[takeruinachi2121]

Hm... Sounds like my life...
