[MiteyMax9]

This really makes me think about my dear friend that I lost about 2 years. No body saw the real him... They judge what they saw, not what he really was inside. One day I'll see you again Thomas.... I miss you my friend. Keep smiling && never stop being you. I know you have your wings :)

[bobiscool308]

@Numb986 hahahaha thats a good one

[krayziekilla91]

i love this song but does anybody know what a vagabond is?

[ToonTV95]

@krayziekilla91 It's kinda like a drunk hobo. xD

[Brittaney73]

@krayziekilla91 Vagabond: 1. A person without a permanent home who moves from place to place.

2. A vagrant; a tramp. 3. A wanderer; a rover

[krayziekilla91]

@Brittaney73 thanks lol



[teamedwardandalice]

i luv this song. it cool. its definately one of my fave song

[wolf343200]

ever lyric of this song is another dose of reality to me an its screaming the past and the present and knowing hes gone and i just replay his story in my head over and over again from wen i was a child to now "i watched it all up close, i knew him more than most i saw a side of him he never showed full of sympathy for a world that wouldn't let him be that's the man he was, have you heard enough? what a shame, what a shame, to judge a life that you can't change" man thats powerful stuff

[sportyfemme64]

@wolf343200 Yeah me too.. for my brother... a wonderful guy that no one saw.. and died last year wayy too young His kids had this played at his funeral. Bobby lived inside his heart. No one but a few seemed to see that, though he was such a wonderful guy to all he knew. What a shame.. I miss him every day of my life.

[wolf343200]

@sportyfemme64 im sorry for ur losse i know how u feel

[thecommenter18]

whoever rights there songs is a magical!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

[pkt1tripe]

The spirituality of this song is beautiful

[11RossTheBoss]

What a song...6 people are to ashamed to admit it!

[OmnibusPerditionem]

Amazing band. Completely rewrites history of rock. Does anyone else here love Black Metal? serious question.

[lordlocking]

@OmnibusPerditionem I do, seriously love black metal, and norweigian black metal ( in my opinion the best of black metal, but i am from viking decent so maybe a bi-est opinion!)

[WhitCake88]

I will say this until the day I die; Shinedown. Is. AMAZING. And if you have a chance to see them in concert, do it! They are just fantastic. I've never seen a band truly appreciate their fans like Shinedown does. I even got to meet them after the concert, talk to them and such, they are so nice. They wanted to shake my hand and have a little chat before signing anything.

A Shinedown concert is one that you won't forget, that's for sure!

[asher2585]

it is a shame ppl are so arrogant ..god forgive them...

[TheSexySycho]

anyone else see the face on the album cover!??? i love the band, the music, the messages, and everything about them

[r3b3lkidd]

@TheSexySycho : Where the heck is this face you speak of??

[TheSexySycho]

@r3b3lkidd

lol i am the only one who sees it apparently

[sck100691]

where is the 'This is absolutely amazing' button beside the like and dislike buttons?

[Hybrid93Hatch]

What a shame, 5 people give this thumbs down!

[MarioBro343250]

5 people like to judge lifes they cant change D=<



[kermie469]

@MarioBro343250 Lives, not lifes. :P

[IcedMaidenUSA]

This song has become my church/spiritual anthem just by the line: "to judge a life that you can't change". This line had a VERY profound effect on how I view people and judging before I have a chance, through the Grace and love of Jesus, to have a positive influence or impact in their lives. Also, me and the singer share the same first and last name too...haha

[Krylon69]

as epic as Metallica's Black Album...

[Bahengism]

Shinedown are so under-rated it's rediculous. They are, quite simply, an amazing band.

[cezza90]

@Bahengism You are so right. I just discovered these guys, but I can't stop listening to their music. There are no words to describe how good they are.

[RealMusicRocksLoud]

@Bahengism Too many amazing bands are.

[MagicWitaPen37]

@Bahengism Very true.

[BATTLE7RATTLE]

the real shame is that there are people in this world who will never know the amazingness of this song

[mourningstar1313]

The best songs are the ones I can relate to, word for word. So that makes this an amazing song. Songs like this are one of the reasons I love Shinedown so much.

[pwned596]

Yeh, im pretty addicted to this song now lol

[aliciaRae161]

i love this song

[clubwedd]

God i love this song.

[jwesley2011]

[batista777]

This isn't the popular opinion, but I personally like this Shinedown song most. The lyrics are real, the emotion is raw. Badass.

[badnewsbaers45]

bought the cd for sound of madness but when i heard this song i thought i should've of bought the cd for this song anyway glad i bought it SHINEDOWN FTW

[neek951]

God I love this song. My new favorite shinedown song.

[sparrowcloud]

I hope this is played at my funeral for all the people that looked down on me or thought they understood me.

[navrozlal]

@sparrowcloud Don't worry, I'll play this tune while dancing on your grave. ;D No need to think me.

[Screaminglarry]

it baffles the mind to think five people actually dislike this song

[qwertysaint]

Best Shinedown song..

[scobra42]

[svtracing]

[jecreg]

Now this is one band that takes emselves to seriously

[miraclegirlie]

sounds like the unforgiven :D

[nextgengamer100]

I feel bad, I would get judged n I still do get judged for being different to my classmates etc..and yet when I fall into the bottomless pit drifting deeper and deeper in the darkness, and so I would judge sometimes just to take the pain away....I play this song 24/7 now for a reminder of how far down I was and how far I would have gone to just fit in and take all the crying n sleepless nights away..It's not right and while I still get judged alot I don't judge any one to get rid of the pain.

[GlitzyGlitterGal311]

how could anyone dislike this song? it's so beautiful. ♥

[Treaty4]

The entire album is worthy of replaying over and over again. Call is one beautiful ballad.

[MrMusicKid15]

@Treaty4 I agree not a song on the album that i dont like!

[lostoholic1]

@Treaty4 absolutely true ! i never heard of them before yesterday and i can't stop listening to these song now

[cricketingfood]

This is the song people should dedicate to someone who is going through a tough time.

[Srewtheshadow]

Judgment leads to loneliness.

Loneliness leads to sorrow.

Sorrow leads to depression.

Depression leads to suicide.

Remember the Golden Rule;

Do onto others as you'd have them do onto you.

[PupRescue]

To judge a life that you can't change...

[MaggieMae65455]

what a shame..<3

[mrsuperaustin1000]

saw them about 3 times at different concerts and the only one i can remember is bake sale but they rock!!

[bennilordking]

they rockin amazing i love all songs of them cause every song tell a story and it sounds good one of my favourite band

[webjamin1]

Is he asking god to give that man wings to go to heaven or is he asking the people to give that person peace?
