"I think before you plant your flowers your grass should be green". I have goosebumps man what a line. Can't get enough of your music man. Youll be huge one day
I cannot get enough of this song. Love what you do, your voice, your covers, your lyrics. You give us all something to relate to. You’re going places man. Your name will be known.
This song hits hard. I'm going through a tough divorce and told my wife goodbye after my Moms funeral yesterday. I love your music and it helps me get through the day. Love you Man, keep up the good work.
Sorry to hear what you went through, even late now. I feel you. My woman and I broke up last night after 15 years. She was wasted, messing with dudes (scum), I caught her with her pants down. Literally. Just left Municipal Court Judge doing an eviction. I divorced her 4 years ago in California, just as I got my BIG break as an author in NYC. But she left our place, was doping, homeless, and moved in with a man - well, a CHILD molester, convicted!!! I heard from her again once he kicked her out of his GRANDMAS house! She called me from shelter, and I got conned into helping her with $. Then she flew back. Now, 4 years later, Same Ol “Sheet” Man! So, I’m done with her, her drugs, her men, her bad attitude and mouth! So trust me, I feel you! Peace Be Still, DarkD., Author, Paramedic, Human Being, et.al.
@@elephantshoe2263 Thank you, bro. You stay strong and text if you ever need it. I know it’s hard, and you go out and back in your head with a dialogue of What If I Had or Maybe I Should… when really you don’t know what to do. You want to buy a Time Machine and either go back and fix things or just have never have married that one girl. But no one can do that. Kind of reminds me of Queen lyrics, Mama, I don’t wanna die, Just sometimes wish I had never been born at all! But it goes on to say Carry on, nothing lasts forever. Pain goes too. But scars from pain often stay a while. So we both, and many many others, are facing this loss. It’s hard, and I’d be a hypocrite to offer you advice that I can’t follow. Just as you said, Hang in there, man. We are men, and we will never forget about the women we really loved. But as men we gotta push on. Only advice I’ll offer is don’t hide your pain from anyone, as it is a mark of your upstanding character which makes you hurt - you don’t fake it shrug it off or do a dumb vengeance burn. I need to talk with my friend, but I been sick today, so was playing music but I read this. He helped me a ton, but I am a lost loner still. Time is the great joke, we have so little and then we give it to one lady only to lose them both. So take your time and get focused on whatever works for you. Take care, Dark.
@@TOM_MATE, Of course he doesn't... it's just going to be awesome when these two came together and made a song. just imagine how sick that song would be
Man I wanna let you know your songs pulled me out of depression and increased my confidence when I talk to people. When I feel anxious about my future, I just listen to this song and my anxiety goes away instantly. Truely grateful for your work man.
i her but my kind of pain is really bad my ex girl was fucking around on me she was fucking hem in our bead and i walk in on them that brock my hart so so bad
Undoubtedly, the piece that hit me hardest is "I can't give into the pressure, cause when I do that's when I slip into depression, and everytime I open my heart, it leads to deception so if I rush to commitment then I ain't learning my lesson" 2:14-2:24! Absolutely killing it man, I just found you earlier and I've already been sharing you to all of my friends and they enjoy you as well. Keep up everything and I hope you are keeping safe
@@levilester5311 i have that realy bad that stuff ant no joke it get to me all the dam time but i try to keep my head up but it knock you out when it realy heat it fucking suck haveing it but i would not chang a dam thing about me but tom i know how that shit realy is people say they have it to try to be like you and me but they can't much love tom i hope you get back to me much love kingman AZ
These lines right here are about to change my life... "So focused on what we're not Take the opinion of others And we start changing the plot It's all about what you want It's not about what they got You live your life around them You won't amount to a lot" ...and they can change yours too.
And if I die tonight how would I be remembered As a man that disconnects from a pain that still lingers It's in the past now yeah that's where I'm found My future isn't something that I wanna pass down I put up my walls, I keep up my guard Growing up, everybody says they want to go far Yeah, then their dreams aren't enough Yeah, they were stolen by a demon yo that demon is us People all around me are making mistakes But they take no blame, they say that it's just fate I see a smilе that's fake They had a full tank of gas And then thеy slammed on the brakes And that Yeah, that makes me feel out of place They call me crazy Cause I don't feel the need to relate Take all that baggage Yeah they just transfer the weight Just cause you pawned off all your problems Doesn't mean your life's great Take a good look around Look at the people right now That are holding you down Would you still be fine? Yeah, if they weren't around They may not always be Just be honest please, are you happy? Yeah, are you happy? And these are just the things I believe I think before you plant your flowers, the grass should be green I think we move too quickly trying to find what life means And we start skipping through chapters And we don't play out the scenes So focused on what we're not Take the opinions of others And we start changing the plot It's all about what you want It's not about what they got You live your life around them you won't amount to a lot I treat relationships, just like the moon No matter how far or close I know I'm never consumed And everybody's fitting in they just play it cool I'd rather be the one out here who's breaking rules I stay consistent I make moves that are subtle I swear to God, everybody wants to see you struggle So they can meet you at the bottom They've been there for years They feel better about themselves when you become their peer But me, naw I can't give into the pressure cause when I do That's when I slip into depression And every time I open my heart, it leads to deception So if I rush to commitment then I ain't learning my lessons Know that's a strange view But pain just hits a little different when it's pain you choose I know you settled, go do what you do But I'll be out here making music I got so much to prove
I relate to your music song much. It is what keeps me level to stay living on this 🌎. I feel like I am never enough. I lost a marriage of 10 yrs. I could not get clean. Now I battle between depression and addiction everyday. But not every day gets easier. It's like like the opposite and I just wanna flip open a bottle of percs. Ya cause that will get rid of the hurts. The truth is none of it works. Till I listen to you, and I'm not feeling so blue. Thank you for giving some type of relief for that's what I really need.
What separates you from anybody else is your depth, but at the same time you can’t fake this, you can’t craft lyrics like this unless you’ve been through it, been hurt and I feel that, I love your music man, you’re truly inspiring and you stay real with every song, please never stop making music, honestly I don’t know what I’d do without your songs to relate to
When are you going on tour?? I know it’s difficult to tell with C-19, but man you can count on me to be there. You’re songs honestly saved me... I went through some long term stuff and your stuff just hit me hard
Surround yourself by people that bring you up not down you at least deserve your best and remember what makes you happy ....no stinking thinking rise above it no matter what ....don't ever think you alone in this isolation cause the further you get down the difficult it is to bring yourself up out alone...there are still good people
This song really hit my heart ....inspirational and so real ...thank you atlus for such a moving meaningful track that truly touched home..."focusing on me"
Beautiful morning motivation. Keep pushing out content from your heart and the people that really got your back will flock to you. Love your brother. Thank you for this.
Your voice is so powerful and unique, I would love to hear more from you where you sing in a similar way as in the song Hate to Hate that you did with Crypt. Keep on grinding and you will undoubtedly be successful. Greetings from Sweden!
I didn’t know how to explain how I felt today until I heard this one. Good song bubba it took everything out of my head and laid it all out in a table for me.
Every single lyric is my life. Straight up. This is a sign to me... And it hit hard in my black heart. You just said what ive been wantin to say im just not creative enough.Thank you Atlus. You are an awesome artist. And ill keep u in my speakers.
Powerful, brother. Strong message. Crazy... i literally came across this instrumental the other day and was like damn, this is dope. Never thought you’d be the one to use it. Killed it as usual!
Idc what nobody say dawg every song ive listen toby him is a BANGER and there relatable they dont sell u some fantasy of fam and glory they show u the pain that all humans go through
i talked to my family tonight..... they loved my music and surrounded me with love thank you for making the realest song ever you inspire me everyday bro
Omg bro your music speaks to my soul an damn homie are you in my back yard....love how real man... P.s. thanks for not cleaning up everything just cause the camera on shows the real life of real ppl. Life not perfect an it's great to see that in a artist thank you so much.
@@atlus_music it just gives me a sense of the real person you truly are an it draws me into your music. The real person in a artist is majorly missing now a days. The times you sing of pain I see it in you an I have it no other way. I wish you the very best in this world not to many real ppl left...like us you get what you see an I relate to that so much. Thank you not even a joke I could never do what you do. But my ears work great an you put alot of what i feel an cant say on paper an in music. That's the beautiful part to me.
Love from India....One of the first artist from west I found who I found spiritual ❤️...Otherwise it is lost in 70s-80s classical rock....More power to you
I stumbled across your video by accident.... WOW what a pleasant surprise 🤩!! You are absolutely unbelievable ..... fantastic !!! I’m so happy your lyrics are the BEST !!! I’m 50 years old and I truly feel the depth in your lyrics “ that only comes from experience “ keep putting down the music !!! You have a new fan !! Going to download this .... and all your music !!! Thank You !!! You are amazing 🤩🤩🤩
you came to my life in a perfect moment, ive noone who will have my back, not even ppl who say they love me... its not normal... but atleast i can listen to you... and feel like someone is there fr me who understands, and if you're still alive, i should be too... just wanted to say Thank you
Thankful to have found this needle in the haystack today. I’ve being going from track to track, it’s like your spitting my life. Much love and respect from Arkansas, you got a new fan today.
"just cause you pawned up all your problems doesn't mean your life is great" 🔥🔥 Lyrics man!!🔥🔥❤️❤️ GREAAT SONG!!! ❤️❤️🔥🔥 Loved it!! Hoping to hear more from you🙌 Hope you get the success that you deserve brother..!❤️
This song man.. Right in the feels for me. Moving back home from being out of it. Coming back to buy a business and work for myself. Seeing friends and family still just living with no real goals. And given up on their dreams because of excuses and shit... It's painful to see and can get me down sometimes. But then I remember I got goals I wanna reach and things I wanna/gotta do for me and my family! 😎 Fuck ya man keep doing u! 👍
“Look at the people right now, that are holding you down” I felt that pretty deep. I ain’t happy with the people holding me down. They’re toxic. I’m at my bottom, but I do still ha e so much to prove. Thank you, Atlus.
I just wanna say this song taught me that friends aren't what help you go further if all they do is worry about themselves. This song pushed me to get rid of the toxic people in my life, and it was hard because now iv fallen into a bad depression from having no one around to trust but you gotta break before you heal right?
