Avi? I am a 52 years young woman in NH....I have survived domestic violence 😭 and now I am battling cancer....THIS FREAKIN SONG MADE ME CRY AND SCREAM AT THE SAME TIME ❤️❤️THANK YOU....GOD I WISH I COULD SEE YOU IN CONCERT ❤️ YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST ...THX FOR ADDING SOME FIGHT INTO MY BONES ❤️🤘💪
@@Suramaar Ty.....I've had breast cancer and as scary as that was? Thyroid cancer makes your whole body feel icky....I'm strong ❤️ have to be....it's just me myself and I🙏💪
Same thing I thought... Another anthem like "Change on the Rise" like before the battle, now in the middle of the fight (bruised and broken, but still fighting). I love this so much!
This song reminds me of New Mexico where I live. So many people and animals are suffering from forest fires that have been raging for weeks. There just doesn't seem to be any end in sight. God help us..
I shared this with my sister who is battling Stage 4 Cancer and she has listened to it 11 times and adopted it as her "Fight Song". She forwarded to her son who lost his wife to Covid and really battling grief. Thank you, AVI KAPLAN, for listening to your Soul and Heart and sharing with the World via your songs. Bless.
WOW!!! What a battle song for anyone who has been beaten down but is now clawing their way back up!!! Simply amazing as always..... LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!
I can't articulate how much this song affected me. I am crying, yet I'm grateful for providing me with this opportunity. You are an amazing soul living your purpose and your message resonates with so many people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Boy Avi, You hit the nail on the head! I am 62 and everything is falling apart... my body is fighting me, but I refuse to let it beat me! I am a firefighter and I can't do the interior attack anymore, but there is plenty left I can do (once I get my knees replaced that is) I am only getting started on my new adventures in life. Thank you so much for this song. Gave me a positive note to look forward to after my knee replacements. I will get my life back! I am broken now, but soon I will " Only get started" Love you bunches!
This is so powerful, Avi! I hear..."You may have gotten the first licks in , but let me get up and show you what I'm all about. Come at me, bro! You can't ever keep me down." You tell'em, Avi! My favorite voice, lovely music and kick a...butt lyrics. I definitely need this message sometimes. You smashed it, as you always do! 💚💚
Hello Thank you so much for the love and support towards my music I glad to get such comments on my RU-vid video It’s really nice sharing your thoughts with me, well I’d like to have you on my fan chat
**CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP** I wish I could come to a concert but the nearest one is on my sister's birthday. I will someday :) Also I kept looking at the like button expecting it to let me like the song again
I predicted a masterpiece and I got one. This is the best song so far. I usually have to listen to a song a few times to love it but not this one. This is 🔥. Love it. 🥰🇺🇦🥰🇺🇦🥰
I can only add what so many people say here!! Supergreat music!! I have an old friend( real old!!) who said:" if you havent experienced hard times; you have not yet lived fully your life!!" I love, love, love Avi Kaplans music, his voice is so rich, so deep!! ( ...and, sorry abt poor english here!!) 🇧🇻🇧🇻✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾😘
I want to say I love this but love isn’t the right word. It’s deeper and more spiritual. I feel like the message combined with the resonance and textures of your voice created a call to heal and to rise and to ‘be’♥️
43, homeless and disabled with no help... broken pain and loveless living... I'm only getting started! I still got love in my heart and Fire for Jesus Christ. I'm only getting started.
Oh my gosh, this is incredible!! It's got me grooving along with it, and oooof when that chorus hit for the first time, chills. Yes, you are only just getting started Avi!!! We are all looking so forward to hearing more from you. This is just the beginning 🙏💚
Dear Avi, So I will memorize this amazing song as soon as possible and sing it at work because this song accurately describes us supermarket employees when the train arrives late and we can't catch up. Avi will never let anyone knock you to your knees, and when that happens, grit your teeth, look him in the eye with hatred and show him that right now he's playing with someone who hides so much power that he would knock him down. the very bottom. Don't let anyone play with your feelings, underestimate you and knock you to the bottom. show them that you are stronger than them, because you are an amazing being who can do whatever he wants and can support his fans, and we support you because you deserve it. Avi, you have a giant RESPECT with me
Listening over and over! Brought hope to my heart, joy to my spirit, tears to my eyes and a smile on my face! Thank you dear Avi...what a blessing you are...🥰
OMG!!!! I can't stop crying. It gets under your skin. Avi, you are a miracle!!! You are the storm and you take us with you on your journey!!! I am as grateful for your music as millions of others 🥰 🔥🙏
Great to see your newest work - your voice is better now than ever. Thank you for lower music that doesn't drown out your voice so we can hear you better. Great job!
Only Avi's songs can uplift you while simultanously "seeing" the depths of your soul, the darkness you're slowly overcoming and fighting against. They're just so authentic and honoring but yet also serve as inspiration and motivation to keep going. Thank you Avi! I can't wait to buy your album. Sending you so much love from Australia!
Avi, I am the old lady sitting on the rotator walker by the staff only door at your 12/11/22 concert in Louisville, Kentucky. I wanted to thank you and your band, especially Kaleb with a K, Jones for a great concert. It was wonderful gift to all of us. I especially wanted to thank you for this song. I have been SLOWLY recovering from being attacked and almost killed by a psychotic serial killer. To my knowledge I am the only person to survive him and I owe that 100% to God’s help. I was in horrible pain and terrified. Screaming and crying at the same time. I had been raped and beaten and thrown across a room. My bones were broken. He was kneeling on my abdomen holding my ears and bashing my head against a cement floor. There came the moment when I knew I was going to die in a few minutes. But I am a widow who after 19 years is still deeply in love with my husband. I knew that he was with God and in a few minutes we would be reunited. Suddenly I felt a sense of PEACE like nothing I had ever experienced before. I felt arms wrapped around me and I was over come by a LOVE more powerful and present than anything that I had ever known or heard of, even as a Christian. Then my belly started to fill with JOY that was beyond my comprehension, and like champagne it started to bubble up to my head. All of my fear was gone. My pain was still there but it was distant from my Spirit and I couldn’t help but to smile. I looked up at my killer’s face with had looked demonic and full of what I can only describe as a lust for my pain and fear. When he saw me smiling at him, his lust changed to disgust. He threw my head onto the floor and got up and walked away. I’m told that he is the prime suspect in at least 4 other murders, but the bodies have never been found. As I said I recovering physically, but mentally and emotionally I don’t feel a need to recover. I am no longer afraid of anything or anyone. I have been through the worst and survive! Now I’m just getting started to create a new life for myself in partnership with God. No matter what happens from now on, it doesn’t matter because I now know who I am and who’s I am. I once saw a T-shirt that said “ The devil whispered in my ear, you’re not strong enough to survive the storm. I whisper back in the devils ear, I am the storm!”
I am so sorry that happened to you. God bless you. The strength you show is amazing! Please take care and hope Avi's music brings you much comfort. He has a way of touching ones soul.
I haven’t got the right words to say to you, I’m glad Avi helped you. I can’t start to imagine what you’ve been through. What a brave lady , I’m sure someone was with you. The quote from t t shirt is amazing. Sending a hug and prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽💜💜
Someone get me a flipping horse so I can ride to El Dorado to take care of business! Bloody flipping fired up here after listening to this song! You go, Avi!!!! Damn 🔥🔥🔥🙌
Avi, Thank you for giving us such wonderful music. You are this generation's Bob Dylan! I know you are just getting started and look forward to your future work.
I live in the southwest and often take my camera, your music and my headphones and spend my days out in the desert taking photos. You are my soundtrack. ❤️🔥
Such a powerful anthem for us all. So much fight ahead for all of us. We all have a journey to walk through, sometimes its joyful and filled with happiness and peace. Then there are times each step is a struggle. Thanks for the awesome song
WOW! I needed this song so much right now. Thank you for reminding me of who I am-a fighter who will.not.quit. I know that grim fire in the belly that makes you stand back up, brace your feet, and say “Try me.” I’ve been feeling weary lately, but this song will be my anthem!✊❤️
I'm so thankful I found Avi's music. And even though I miss him in Pentatonix and no one can truly replace him, I'm thankful that he listened to his heart and made his own path. I'm such a fan I have a vinyl record of his now! His solo career is going so good, but it's 'only getting started.'
Avi, Sir, you sing like you're a wise sage, and like you've lived for ages. All your lyrics are so heartfelt, and seem to me like they all come from someone who's done and seen A LOT for your age. All your lyrics seem to me to come from deep places, being uprooted like the sequoias that have dwarfed you. Blessings, My Friend, which I don't doubt you would be. You're AWESOME. 😁
Love this! It’s as if the anger and external call to arms of Change on the Rise has matured into an internal resilient determination. Love the initial dissonance between the violence of the lyrics and the peaceful tone of voice. At first, I kept waiting to hear the anger and pain, but then I thought “That’s not where Avi is now.” This is about the enduring grit and will to fight the longer war.
Wow Avi just wow, thank you! You might have just given me the anthem to my life and my journey through Abuse and then battling Leukaemia I refuse to give I will always get back up no matter how broken I seem💞💞💞
@@jenniferharlow4603 It starts out kinda popish then becomes countryish. The chorus? Very tribal. If all that is indy or folk okay :) Whatever it is it's good. Better than good!
The curated playlists Spotify has him on are Roots Rising, Fresh Folk, the Pulse of Americana, Today's Singer/Songwriter. Other platforms have him on similar lists including Indie. According to an interview, Shooter Jennings (album producer) said Avi has an entire orchestra in his throat and is a brilliant songwriter. He said the album is a cross between Bill Withers and Enio Morricone. He said they laughingly nicknamed the sound Space Coyote.
Avi! I am so excited for you! just finished the latest episode of Station 19 and what do I hear!? THIS SONG! Congratulations and keep up all the awesome work!
Wow, with every new song you release - you knock it out of the park. Yes, you're only getting started, I love the "fighting spirit". Life has a way of knocking us down, but real character gets up, learns & becomes a better person. Avi is 🔥🔥
It's like you live rent-free in my brain, but can articulate where I'm at and what I am feeling so much better than I ever could. This is another incredible song, Avi. Thank you for helping to heal my soul. I truly mean that. 💗 Added directly to my motivation playlist. Can't wait to get my limited edition vinyl so I can hear the entire album.
@@StephanieMcPeakPetersen Hello Thank you so much for the love and support towards my music I glad to get such comments on my RU-vid video It’s really nice sharing your thoughts with me, well I’d like to have you on my fan chat
Now that's fighting talk. There's an amazing quality to his voice that's both soothing and invigorating. He just goes from strength to strength, I can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
I'm so happy to hear a gorgeous piano in an Avi song. And the belting is my favorite. Avi's voice is so powerful. So glad he continues to inspire us with his abilities and hard work.
Hell Yeah ! Uh I have no idea how you tap into the collective and come out the other side This STRONG ! Thanks for being a great example of being Human. Of Not letting things or situations to keep you down and out. I needed to hear it. I'm sure others did too. Thanks for being an Awesome Voice. Stay Safe !
I’ve been in chronic pain since I was 9 years old, I’m 27 now & genuinely do not remember ever being healthy & not being in pain. It’s really hard sometimes, but your songs are a constant source of strength & joy for me. They’re songs for the soul, for the weary & the broken, giving love, strength, peace & acceptance. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful soul & voice with us 😊 blessings ✨
This song!!! I felt every word. The smoothe tone in your voice set something in me on fire! I have been fighting a fight for the last 11 months, and I think this just became a fight song for me to carry on and see this through! You are incredible! Your words are powerful! Yet the song soothes something in me while setting something else on fire! How do you do that??? I can't wait until the music is in my hands, and this song plays on repeat until I can stand up on my own two feet and fight for myself! Thanks Avi! This one grabbed the inside of my soul to show me that I am someone worthy of moving on. I am NOT thrown out trash.
Wow! So powerful. I love how the song starts simply and builds. This needs serious play time in every media. Thank you Avi for a fantastic start to my Friday.
Wow. This song has such power. I have ALWAYS loved Avi's voice, but wow. Everyone likes to point to Imagine Dragons for that epic origin story, but this is much better! I am loving this!!!
Another beautiful, moving and exemplary song! I love your music, your fantastic voice and the spirit that drives your music. You were an undeniable asset to the Pentatonix but you are beyond any equal as a solo artist❣
Avi-your music is like a quilt connected by intricate weaving and layers. Each piece grabs my attention and as your music builds upon each of the layers your quilt draws me in with its unique patterns. Your creativity is like none other. Thank you for blessing us with your sound, creative vision and empowering us with your words.
I was just speechless!!! This is very powerful stuff. Music and lyrics are stunning! Avi's voice is incredeble!! This's disturbing and calming at the same time.
My goodness! 🤯 It is a mixture of sensations. This song reminds me of most of my life, constantly fighting the blows. And today I feel so strong and invincible. There is no better song to give strength and ignite anyone to stand up. Truly admirable Avi! So proud to be a part of your world! 💙
