ths song is beyound amazing..the english dictionary is to constricted to find a word to describe this. i listened to this song the first time when my uncle passed away he was my everything i had to live for. i almost killed myself but then i listened to this band and everything in a way just got better. so all i have is thank you you mean alot
i always had an image of a military guy whom seen too much and came back home and couldnt adapt; so he wondered around looking for purpose, but he couldnt find any. Everyone treated him like dirt but he saw the good in everything and everyone. He deserved wings but was left in the gutters. just typing about it makes me sad.
how the hell can you dislike this for all those 10 assholes who dislike it suck my dick cuz you faggets just are jealous they can sing unlike your gay ass selves....
@Motocrossismyl1fe While i do agree with you, if you are going to insult the 10 people who disliked this video, at least come up with a well structured paragraph and don't just call them gay. Come up something original.
@6195g While I can agree to a point you must never forget. The very person your trying to convince to "change" in whatever way may be inspired to change his life by inspiration you give him. A man (or woman) for example, wracked with depression sometimes just needs someone to come along and show them the lighter side of things. We cant change people but we can give them the courage and drive to push for change.
7 people that disliked this are completely unknowing of what this song is truly about. Idiots. Brent's uncle died and his family pretty much condemned him until the day he died. Sad how many people do not know that part.
My number one favorite song of Shinedown is: 45, Simple Man, What A Shame, and Sound Of Madness... sorry its just wrong to actually rate them in order they all should just bee number 1!!!!
day of my grandfathers funeral i blasted this as loud as i could leaving from the church to the cemetery...didnt care what people thought. he loved this song as much as i did....thank you shinedown
@webcamfan2569 Whoa there dude! It was 3 months ago! And he didn't offend anyone! actually it was a pretty clever comment! Talk polite! Did your mom teach ya this?
@ElReno7 This was played at my brother's funeral last year.. 52.. old hippy.. heart of gold.. but the world only saw long hair and loud music. What a shame.. he raised two boys alone. he was a GREAT and KIND man.. I miss him so much.. </3
we played this at my brothers funeral on may 13 2011.he died of overdose of heroin and never told anyone in the family about his useof heroin..the saddest thing ever has a older sister is losing her little brother over substance abuse..
This song was written about the lead-singers uncle. He found out he had cancer and didnt tell anyone he suffered through it alone and died during the production of the sound of madness record!
Me and my sis has a tattoo of a matching dead tree with the main lyrics. "What a shame. What a shame.To judge a life you can't change.Chior sings, church bells ring.Won't you give this man his wings. Wat a shame.." Took a while and was pretty painfull. But it was worth it
Thank you Shinedown for uploading this wonderful video commercial free, and pop-up ad free so that we may watch this over and over again without having to sit through the commercials and x those ads.
I love Shinedown and have seen them in concert, but what is up with this video? At 3:50 is that the reciept for what it cost to make the video? What a Shame indeed.
@jjmegahan You are right, cost doesn't. But hey it was a joke. It is just such an amazing powerful song and I was disappointed in the video. But still love Shinedown.
