@Vlad2375 its pretty amazing isnt it =]

[sully676]

social d is one of the best bands ever if not the best

r.i.p dennis

[dueone]

i think he saw my life then wrote a song about it ...along with the other songs....

[loebacca]

@dueone its amazing isnt it that when you just live your life in the shadows of rock n roll that mike speaks to you about love, music, alcohol, drugs, work, whatever just everything, you can relate to anything

[xMadFaceProductionsx]

i can relate to this song pretty much. Sucks.. =/

[MaddogNV]

this seriously is their best album...kick ass from start to finish!

[metalyouth666]

had this album my ex roomie stole it though

[eraserhead321]

@metalyouth666 kick his ass.

[bbbbil]

@MaddogNV yup, white light is one of the best albums by any band EVER!!!

[Cvatl]

their best song

[TheUnSuperNaturalGuy]

i think social distortion personality to there music is kick ass they will not be able not to kick an ass.And mike ness and jonny wickersham can play can play guitar like a god

[fireninja242]

Why does love always have to hurt?

[6Satan6Archist6]

Jesus Titty Fucking Christ I love Social D! Their songs are so simple yet beautiful and deep. Mike Ness always knows just what to say. I know exactly how he was feeling when he wrote all of his songs. I'm so glad this band formed. Their music has pulled me through the most fucked up times in my life and even now they still continue to. Social D > than any other band that has ever existed or ever will exist.

[eddied85]

google

[LittleMc15]

\m/  < whilst jumping ^.^

[tatoolicious]

There isn't a song I don't love from this band!

[guardivwa]

This is the best song to cover

[FullMetal0728]

I never get tired of this ULTIMATE song.

[davidpoison]

this is the ultimate album...ultimate lyrics....they'll never top this again.

[68ogredose]

this is the greatest rock record ever!!

[JenniferBerglind]

the picture is from the move dead silence, is the song played there?

[njj37]

this album was made before that crappy movie

[MaxWinchester666]

its similar

not the same

[jessicaelizabethjam]

i'm seeing them in october!

[xtcsydney]

Nessie!

[Ishouldsk8more]

Im in my 30's and have listend to sd for a couple decades..never gets old.

[lannieconn]

24. only listened to them for 2 yrs and i realize my error and will continue listening to them until i'm 72, but no later

[njj37]

once u get past 72 switch to hard core gangsta rap so all the younglings will think ur crazy

[spazcabrera]

My dad first showed me them when I was seven...since then I can truly say I've been an Social D fan.

[njj37]

ive been a sociald d fan ever since i started listening to music wich is who knows how long ago... but then again im only 16

[spazcabrera]

Same,I'm not in my twenties or anything,but I listen to very few bands,and they were the first band I had listened to other then Suicidal Tendencies at the mere age of about three.Haha.

[fireninja242]

me 2, sadly gh got me into them but hey im here now

[chumppe]

We used to play this with our band, awesome song to play/listen to :)

[Buiji]

fave sd song...last great sd album; best, imo

[MaxWinchester666]

'cause it's the last with dennis ;-)

[bahrsalic]

one of the best songs from SD

[roberto20]

hey at least put the lyrics so i can sing-a-long haha

[shadowslayer81]

I first heard this when I was in my dad's car, when I was a little kid. Now every thing on this album givs the same ring as when you hear a single. It's a little weird.

[ex3vious]

this song is a good song.

[phemohilia]

Fucking Awesome!!!!!

[Lossforwords78]

saw them at Nokia theatre on late '05 for only 20 bucks. Best experience ever.

[wanderer1031]

ONLY $20? lol. w.t.f.? only 5 bucks mighta been worth talking about.....

[Lossforwords78]

wander, cost of livng in nyc makes 20-bucks for any show a bargain :o)

[wanderer1031]

alright. what are you talking about? oh...i see, yer a k9 cop...its what you do.

[ladykind21]

ok I love this song now..it inspired me lol

[Einkaufstuete]

that puppet's wearing eyliner, just like Mike :) and myself xD

[Simon0]

no need to buy music anymore its all on youtube! (unless you want it on a cd)

[matteric27]

THIS MADE ME THINK TWICE ABOUT MY LIFE

[amaricanapictures]

Ups and Downs during those days Social D has guided me thru this day..

[injuneer123]

My favortie song off this album. Thanks for posting!

[stiny905]

If you don't like it don't listen. You don't have to spend your life with something you don't like. Social Distortion has gotten me through some bad times and I like the Raspy singing style. It is just like ACDC to a degree.

[6Satan6Archist6]

Fucking A right man. People should not complain about things they need not subject themselves to. Social D has helped me through alot of bad times in my life as well. I am forever indebted to them for that. Who knows where I would be if it weren't for this band.

[saintwhite303]

who are you to criticize?mike ness is where he is becouse of the way he dose things like sing...

[JohnZackarias]

I respect Mike Ness.

He's an honest musician who's really truthful about what he does.

However, I don't like how he handles his voice.

To compensate for singing relatively low tones, he makes it...Damn, my vocabulary fails me, um...I don't know, scruffier?

It's like he grunts slightly to put more power into his voice, and I hate that.

Around 2:32 in the SD-song "Reach for the sky", he sings "Moment" without the scruffiness. It sounds to awewsome. He should do that more.

Great song, this one!

[job153]

Man Mike would just not be Mike if he stopped singing like he does, his voice is one of the main things that SD is so well known for. In my opinion you REALLY shouldn't fuck with a winning formula

[JohnZackarias]

A winning formula?

So you're saying he has gotten to where he is by not being himself?

[job153]

No Mike has sung like that since he started SD Im saying thats the sound he has always prefered, He WOULDN'T be himself if he sung differently. Thats they way it's always been thats what I'm saying. And plus, if you look at almost all punk bands out there be it The Misfits, NOFX or w.e. ,they all don't sing with cristal clear angelic voices. It's supposed to be Edgy, Raw and Aggresive so why not sound like it?

[takanti]

what hes saying is if theyve gotten so famous with their sound why change it now?

[JohnZackarias]

Because Mike Ness seems to me like an honest, no-bullshit man.

I don't understand why he would try to make his voice raspier, it's not pure punk anyway.

[sigep157]

Mike Ness has made a career of telling great stories that have relavance in everyone's lives. Heartbreak, distress, youth's choices, etc. He does a wonderful job of painting pictures of the human condition. I hope he keeps writing music until the end. This is a great jam.

[hyneman33]

if you dont like his voice then dont listen to him, Mike Ness is the fucking greatest!

[Einkaufstuete]

Mike's got a pretty unique voice

[MrMariacakes99]

I have come to think that he has been reading my mind and soul.....He rocks the casbah.....His voice gives me shivers!

[sully676]

@hyneman33 who wouldnt like his voice

[bjensenbjensen]

@hyneman33 i met him and shook his hand outside of the united center in chicago at warped tour '97 and ill never forget it. i was just 14. i remember them playing their whole set in the rain. "how about a little ball and chain in the rain!?" ill never forget that line!! they opened with another state of mind. oh fuck i have goosebumps remembering that day!!!! not to mention i saw the descendents that day!!!!!!

[Flytis75]

Great song even if I am not 100 % satisfied about the singer's voice. He is singer far too low for his own best :)

[SJDKing73]

Mike's voice is unique. Just like Bob Dylan's is unique. I love both of their voices by the way.

[jeller123]

My favorite song off the album!

[Darkgoth777]

One Of The Best Songs in The Universe!

[Simon0]

no theres a good song over on pluto which blows this song away.

[acosta951]

these guys are and have always been SOFA KING AWESOME!

[memi2626]

(L)I LOVE SONG!!!!!

[Ninathe0neand0nly]

great song!

[poposisa]

lol....i thought it was metal :P

[Einkaufstuete]

I remember when I bought that record and listend to this song for the very first time, it was so amazing, especially the chorus, the third "Dear Lover" in the chorus made me actually get goose bumps, it's sung so amazingly

[MrMariacakes99]

goosebumbs on top of goosebumps.......

[porotopower]

what can i say ?there are just the best! the lyrics are outstandig an let alone the music music!

[Ornfjader89]

THE BEST FUCKING SONG!!!

[mamorrell]

This song kicks bad ass!...FUCK the sell outs!!!

[justinhammang]

i love this song--a good example of one that could have been a big hit but suffered from a lack of marketing

[IJsko]

I agree it's a realy good song, but it wouldn't be cool if social distortion got mainstream. It is good if they stay a bit underground.

[FightThe4Strokes]

they are a little bit i mean guitar hero it sucks

[bigfootostrich8]

the real bands dont play on guitar hero, its other people doing covers.

[FightThe4Strokes]

i no thats worse
