thumbs up for the cig burning in the background at 1:26 aaron has the greatest voice for being a smoker and also you will notice in the beginning of the secret song on the dysfunction album " excess baggage" that he takes a drag..im a smoker myself but it gets in the way of my singing he harnessed that very well i think.
My dad introduced me to this song when I was 12. He didn't know the impact on me. We buried him today. We played this at his funeral today. Beautiful song.
I LOVE this song. Its my favorite now. The lyrics really hit home with me. It brings tears to me but for some reason its not just sad tears. I cant explain it but its also tears of joy. Maybe its the clearing of trying to get past the heartbreak of a loved one whose passed away.
@gearheaderic Absolutely nothing compares to seeing an Aaron Lewis solo concert. I have seen him solo once, and Staind twice, both are amazing, but the solo show is so much more intimate and powerful. This is definitely a solo show
@gearheaderic - I saw him at Lincoln City, OR and he barely did any Staind. It was mostly from his new EP and covers. I was kind of disappointed at first, but by the end I was impressed by how he can take a cover and make the band that wrote it go "Did we even write that"?
Unexpectedly Lost My 59 year old Mom-herd this song for the first timein the middle of the nite b4 she died just as i was getting out of the car it started and i was frozen - almost forced to listen. and i got the call first thing in the morning. now im starting to think it was something from her. R.I.P Mommy Gwen Devitt Nov 23/51 to Oct 1/11-5 years i lost my youngest brother 6 to drowning Then The oldest 28 to Murder Then My Fav Brother 24 To Suicide -I Hope Ur Happy To B With Ur Babys Again
@xKimberlyx666 hey... dont know you but it must be hard... dont worry, keep strength and faith that life will be better someday ok? best of lucks and good vibes from costa rica!!! ;)
i wish i could take vocal lessons from aaron lewis he knows how to find that unique sound that i need sure most people can sing but it takes talent to sound like you mean it, am i right?
this guy is like my generations Kurt Cobain in my eyes. unique voice, great lyrics, and his own style. everything that makes a great artist great. hes deffinately ranked up there with Kurt and Layne.
I don't think he heard her. I think he was responding to the weak applause from the crowd when he said "this is a song off the new Staind record"....he then says "really? that's it?"
@RDM54321 This was recorded in April of last year. The record was not out. Not even close.....and being there live it was even more obvious what he said. "really? that's it?"
Great singer, great musician, great writer and the most important thing: you can feel the same pasion that he puts in his songs when you're listening them.
i was watching this video and just realized that i was there awsome time we met him after the show by his tour bus and got his autograph and bens, the guy on the left of aaron we love you guys so much
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Aaron is also the only singer that can bring a tear to my eye with his music. The way he puts so much emotion into the lyrics, and the way he sings this song... It just brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Aaron is the person that made me want to start singing. So Aaron, I just want to say, if you ever see this, you should know that you are an inspiration to many. May you live a happy life.
From what he explained when I saw him live, he said that at one point he was their bus driver, and I guess Aaron discovered his talent and he became part of his solo tour and part of Aaron's country album....but that is what I remembered, whether that's completely correct or not remains fuzzy
Seriously love this song, everything being said is close to home, and touches how i feel. i wouldnt of done anything differently. Aaron blows it out of the water.
rick03...that is definitely a good group to include Aaron Lewis with..i equally love Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, and aaron Lewis...Staind is right there with alice and Chains and Nirvana for me...ive seen Kurt Cobain live and up close and he was amazing btw..not many can say that.
you dont go on the comment page of a musician and diss one of the musicians hero's reguardless of utr opinion. Kurt Cobain was not a pussy. yes thats my opinion but whatever u think about him, good o=r bad, he sold way more records than u ever could and with the whole seatle scene helped change the sound of music. there was nothing but shit being played on the radio untill nirvana came along.
This is so awesome. I idolize Aaron so much that when I do my acoustic set, over 1/2 of the songs that I do are by Aaron/Staind, I can't help it this dude is so great at what he does wish I could meet him in person just to say thank you for the inspiration.
@steadyhandint Dude, next time his solo tour is in your area, get some VIP passes. You'll meet him! Well worth it!!! Front row seats and a private soundcheck too!
@steadyhandint The first song I ever learned to play and sing on guitar was Outside. Funny that learning one song opened so many doors for me in my life. :)
@steadyhandint Aaron is one of the most friendly, down to earth entertainers. My son got a back stage all inclusive pass to one of his concerts, he (Aaron) called me from my son's cellphone from the concert & called me Mom and we chatted....Aaron Lewis called me Mom! LOL He is one classy guy though. Wish you the best in your future!
Aaron Lewis is the best thing since Layne Staley! Layne lost his life because of the sickness overpowered him! I will always respect Layne for the person he was! I hope that Aaron will always be here through my life to provide beautiful lyrics to live on! And Kurt Cobain was a pussy so don't compare him to a real lyrical hero!
He put it down on the disc. The greatest rock n' roll song. And, for me, it will be of my choosing. The gratest country western song is now called '75'... Seriously.
this is the best song yet to date I can not freaking wait for the new cd to come out.And whoever taped this way to go dude or dudet you are awesome for sharing this please keep it on here and do not take it from the world
What he really said was "I prefer to listen to cheap trick rather than you guys. argue about what you think i said like if it is life and death."
