Shim explains the meaning of Sick Puppies' song, My World.

[Richclemens224]

Wonderfully put Shimon.

[0xqueenx0]

This makes me love shim even more <3

[GothicLolitaGurl1257]

This song helped me through so much :) thank you shim & the rest of the band <3 you are all truly amazing <3

[flyinghare14]

I got the beginning of the song, but when you explained it in full I could really relate to it. This is by far my favorite song our your guys'. :)

[umki55es]

I can relate so well to this song. <3

[MH3Raiser]

I understand what he says about fear, and then reject it.

Why do you think people become heroes?

A good friend once told me, 'there's no such thing as a 'fearless hero'. Everone feels fear just the same. The true heroes are the ones that survive a couple more minutes before they break'

Now I'm not saying I agree with that, but I know that we feel fear for a reason.

Without fear, there would be no courage. Hell, without fear, we'd all be dead. Someone who fears nothing is truly a monster.

[shadowkodou]

"yeah, go through puberty again, that'll teach you."

[wingedwolfangelX]

You bring up some great points, Shim. Thanks for taking the time to explain things. Not very many artists do that.

[SMAMANIMAL74]

But sometimes Fear propels you........: ) love you shim.. i wish you were here.

[oSpiTFiRe]

i like sickpuppies cos they are so real. What i mean is, they dont seem to be 'corporate'. They sing about real things and their lirycs are so meaningfull.

[nickrivera1234567]

aww man i thought it was gonna be the chick!! lol

[acedoos13]

@nickrivera1234567 hahaha yup i thought it was the chick also!

[Lovr4nowVegan4evr]

"Puberty is such a mess, man, it's such a mess. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Yeah go through puberty again, that'll teach you. Like, it's just such a croc, that everything is such a croc..." -Shimon Moore

Yep, he's an Aussie. :-D

[prettywitegurl]

Shim: I love you. ♥

[bloodbath71]

two of my best friends just betrayed me because i i didn't wanna start smoking pot and im using a few of your songs to cope with that. thanks for the vid this gives alot more insight of who you guys are and that your really into your art.

[XdarkangeIX]

@bloodbath71 well don't get this wrong mate but if those 2 really "left"(can't find the good word for it :P) because of something stupid like that then in my opinion they aren't friend they are just morons....

but anyway just needed to say that :) GL in the future ^_^

[uberawesomeguy]

@bloodbath71 Wow what a dick move. They make pot smokers look bad. They need to get lives most likely.

[xdeandreloveskevinx]

I met all of them.

:]

as well as I met all of the people in Janus.

I didn't get to meet all of the members of Papa Roach, but I got to see them real upclose. :]] good concertt.

[oliverjon80]

imagine the two worst things to experiance in life; puberty and giving birth. Now imagine them both happening at the same time, that is what some kids are going through right now.Teens, be smart wear a condom please!?

[orf32]

Fear, like pain is so dumb people don't die by the droves. Not say'n that would be a bad thing. But that why it is.

[TheSceneMooBear]

"I wouldn't wish puberty one my worst enemy, yea go through puberty again, that'll teach you!" lol, funny. :) he's HAWT.

[cutieoflove45677]

who r the 4 ppl who dont like this?

[webcroncrew]

2:53 exploding toilets ftw!

[Gottalovewebkinz101]

Shimon!

[TheGuitarguynumber1]

thanks for the great advise man

[brolli4454]

i disagree, fear can be helpful and keep you alive, you need to be able to be balanced

[HippieMagic]

@brolli4454 Intelligence and experience keeps you alive. Fear holds you back. If you are afraid to live and move on you are afraid of living. In many ways that makes you dead already. It kind of defeats the purpose of having the fear in the first place doesn't it?

[brolli4454]

@HippieMagic i'm not saying fear is a bad thing, i'm just saying it can keep you alive sometimes, one just needs to be able to know when to listen to it and ignore it

[Vorgoth911]

@brolli4454

well what one needs to know is what fear is, what we so easily confuse as fear is really anxiety, which is actually something that strengthens your body, and not quite that, a person has to realize they have 100% control over everything in there body, they just have to figure out how to control it, the way voodoo priests kill is by telling a person he's going to die 2 days from now, and they believe it, so they do, understanding is the first step in controlling your body

[thedude61286]

she's the bassist not the guitarist

[JuGgaLo4LyFe100]

their guitarist is really hot in going down she was really giving it whoop mmfwcl

[christinasmiless]

I love Shim. Fuck, I love Sick Puppies. Favorite band for three years.

[DeliciousIcE132]

@christinasmiless same here. They are the best.

[digimon916]

yes, when u get older responsibilities will pile. you dont want to part but its something that just happens. i dont even see all my high school friends anymore. your circle of friends cant always see each other everyday. everyone will start working because who doesnt want a roof to sleep under. cant party everynight anymore. people will just start slowly doing their own things. theyll meet and lose friends, youll meet and lose friends.

[10111maggot]

everything he's saying is SO close to everything i was going through... a few years ago, my grandmother died, my parents got divorced, and my best friend of 9 years ditched me and stopped talking to me.... all that in my 7th grade year... i dont trust my friends anymore and im really lonely.... i kept thinking i did something wrong and God (who i dont really believe in) was punishing me... i finally decided what he says at 2:49 - 2:56... things are better now :)

[xbeast133]

1:47 omg im in love <3

[prettywitegurl]

hell yeah she's fuckin hot.

[xbeast133]

@prettywitegurl ugm ur lesbo THATS HOT XD

[prettywitegurl]

actually i'm bi. and yes. it IS hot. (:

[xbeast133]

@prettywitegurl IKR! lol

[xbeast133]

thats one lucky hobo id kill to have emma do that near me XD

[bluemay44]

After watching this video it got me thinking: What is the meaning of the song White Balloons? I love that song but I am curious.

[advunter]

LOL his name...SHIM... XD

[xbeast133]

@advunter Shimon Moore

[matthewthedude]

i can relate to the song. good song for people even if they cant relate.

[evillilwill]

bassest is very beatiful woman, i can also relate to this song alot, due to 2 of my most loved family members passing away without warnin :'(

[NinjaForeChrist]

Interesting how bands think,fear alot of times can be unessesary,but many times it can be good to have.if your not scared of a bear or anything of that matter ur probably going to be ignorant enough to either try & pet the bear or anything of that sort. fear is respect & caution.if You dont fear the 1 who Created u(the only God who sent His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for the sins of man)then u dont have much repect for the Creator & therefore can cost u to make many horrible decitions

[pwnagesince1337]

err what does that have anything to do with anything?

[NinjaForeChrist]

that has to do with what he said in the video saying that all fear was a bad thing.

[pwnagesince1337]

Fear holds you back. You can respect something and be cautious of it without fearing it. I do not fear a bear. I however know what will happen if i do not respect their territory. I get my face bitten off. Sounds to me like you where just using the videos message to try and turn others toward your religion.

[Rjgmanc]

God shes fukin HOT !!!

[chrissept21]

god shes a beautiful girl

but whats the lines on her for i dont get it

great song tooo

[superboy3d]

I think the lines are her way of trying to improve herself. Kinda like the lines used during plastic surgery.

[chrissept21]

ahhhh fuck i hope she didnt do that shit

shes beautiful the way she is and she plays bass LOL

[13er3]

yea agreed it looks like it

[musicislove90]

I'm sure the lines were just for the sake of the video. But yeah, she is amazing. She's my hero. haha

[m33lad]

Beautiful band!!! :)

[jaay334]

Sickpuupies rock great band :))

[KaylaO415]

my fav song by sick puppies i can relate to it so much. this band and their songs hav helped me to get thru so much shit. thankz

[peanutbutterisfu]

wow my girl of almost 5 years just left me and this speach just cheered me up.thanks shim

[swgforeversun]

I never new that a song could have that much meaning. I'm definately going to look at everything in a new light now.

[AmandoRambo]

i think its impossible for this to not get 5 stars, when this is what music is about(expression, etc.) lol

[jacobp20092010]

by the way the names are shimon vocals and guitar,emma vocals and bass, and mark drums

[MayakuCreep]

Wow. he's so fucking right..

[SilverbulletJT]

This guy is unbelievably wise, it took me years to come to many of the conclusions he's come up with in this audio. He must certainly be a very reflective person, no wonder his music is so great.

[cokacola131]

amazing words and an amazing song <3

[LovexDarcy]

Ah Shim. :]

Thank you so much for just being you.

[yourxsecretxdesire]

Words to live by.

[thewrxracer24]

Well said Shim..thanks for the explanation and my "therapy" "Fear is the dumbest thing we have ever created in our minds" <3 u Shim. You're such an amazing and deep person.

[charlus1]

inspired

[eccomatt4]

@ 1:40 is that the bass guitarist chic...she is gorgeous and so hot. what is her name

[steveg17]

Her name is Emma

[suicidallove2009]

this is a good song and this song reminds of me and my world when i was little and all the fights i been in and shit

[Vicky11294]

Sooo True

[MickeyTheMoogle]

Shim, everything you said was complete and utter truth.

Thanks for putting so much meaning into your music.

[kim4321]

i love his teeth! xD

[brotherdumbass]

me too its pretty cool.

[kim4321]

huh? lol

[purplemoonprincess]

Awesome song

Emma is so beautiful...

[pensive247]

Thanks Shim.

[UchihaJonas]

very true Shim. you guys rock can't wait to see you in concert!

[poisonedkiss5211]

Very moving & Definitely true.=) The song rocks, and so do you guys!

[krah23]

"Fear is the dumbest thing that

we've ever created in our minds;

its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing"

Very true.... Thanks Shim..!

[brolli4454]

@krah23 i'm not saying fear is a bad thing, i'm just saying it can keep u alive sometimes, one just needs to be able to know when to listen to it and when to ignore it.

[Metalcookz]

@krah23 fear keeps you from jumping off buildings and stupid things like that... but for alot of things, fear just prevents you of doing it while it will help you, and is better then what you mostly do when you're scared...

we need fear to keep us alive, but it has grown too much...

[ihatekate08]

@Metalcookz have you ever taken a psych class? Fear is there for Building a better character, Emotions dont keep us alive. Common sense, Rationality and our Will to live is what keeps us alive. I absolutely agree with shim. Fear is the dumbest damn thing that we have, it serves only one purpose, and most of us accomplish that another way.

[Metalcookz]

@ihatekate08 'will to live...' you can also say that as your 'fear to die'

[ihatekate08]

@Metalcookz True. Only fear to die is the opposite of will to live.

[Metalcookz]

@ihatekate08 well yeah... but it has the same efffect...

[ihatekate08]

@Metalcookz True. Psych Class was quite a long time ago. Lol

[Metalcookz]

@ihatekate08 i never had it lol.. i'm just thinking logically :P

[PHASEDxPiiXEL]

@ihatekate08 Wrong Fear, Emotions and Common Sense keep us alive because if you don't fear jumping off a bridge you're DEAD, If you have no emotion your not human dumbass, that means you don't love and hate.

[ihatekate08]

@PHASEDxPiiXEL Okay, I'm done arguing with retards that have no fucking idea what theyre talking about over the internet. GET A LIFE. I was fucking bored, I have shit that needs to be accomplished now. I have my, Educated, backed behind opinion, and you have yours. Lets keep it at that okay?

[corruptNconquer]

@ihatekate08 Lol. That was hilarious. I love the irony when someone comments on another person's intelligence (or supposedly lack thereof) and yet sounds incredibly "silly" themselves.

Anyways-- great song and well put insight, Shim :)

[ihatekate08]

@corruptNconquer Glad i could entertain you :-)

[secretyellowrockchic]

that was sad *sniffs*

but lol when shim was like "yeah go through puberty again. that'll teach you"

[fleafan1984]

My world is my favorite song by sick puppies

[SunOutOfTheDarkness]

So true. =]

[bballgirlj955]

i love the song my world! sick puppies are amazing

[KittieLiz91]

Great song! =D

[kingnarutorule]

Its true.

My life was really... messed up end of 2008 and start of 2009.

Tried to hold on to my girlfriend.

Even thou she made my life a living hell.

But when I said to her thats I had enough.

And now? Its been like.. 4 - 5 months now.

Its better now.

So its true.

Letting things go, may help you.

-Lars

[xsingtomex]

His voice is so sexy.

I can't wait till they come to Nebraska for their CD release party (:

[BlondieConde]

:) ace!
