Here's a story: I found Eminem because of my sister who tried to commit suicide, but this song saved her. It was around 2009, exactly when Relapse came out. She doesn't listen to Eminem anymore, but I will forever. Thanks Marshall for saving lives.
@@Prodigalpro Perception is reality, even if you grew up in a places like that, and still feel this song, because pain is a perception. Also, people can associate with anything if they put their minds to it
@@justsomedudenamedjeremy5279 Right. Anyone can become anything. Become great or ruin their lives and feel worthless. Doesn’t matter how you got there it’s still relatable. And even if you have the greatest life just the idea of loneliness is a human thing. The songs more than that though but it’s a theme. If that’s not enough it’s like saying you can’t relate to “Give my Love to Rose” because you’ve never met a man dying on train tracks.
Man a dude say eminem is trash and cant rap or trailer trash with a mic are the type niggas that also are walking out at night and turn to the right and catch eminem right there and get there ass beat by him and his fans so like nah that dont happen no more
"everyone has a private world, where they can be alone". that private world was my bedroom that i trapped myself in, and still continue to do so, after a suicide attempt october of 2018. ive been depressed since 2017 and dealt with suicidal ideation almost on a daily basis. im in online school, i have no friends, and my only comfort is what i make of my own. my bedroom is my safe haven but that safe haven has turned into a cage. its comfortable but i cant get out. i don’t talk about my depression. my family doesnt talk about it, but it never went away. i dont say anything. i wish i could just be free from it all.
Stay with us take 1 day at a time I am feeling like you but I have so many loved ones I wouldn’t do that too plus it seems like we should be much stronger than that-Ratger than take life DO EVERYTHing to make life great-Bless you & I wish you the best & stay here with us-with me
Jesus is waiting for you bro, he loves you and is ready to save you his word tells us that:"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
I completely relate to you. I sit in my bed all day with negative thoughts constantly. It feels as though there is no escape even though it’s my “comfort place”. Talk with your loved ones, it will help. Keep on fighting for me and I will do the same for you. You are stronger than you believe.
So true man.. I was in High School when the SSLP first came out. And right off the bat i knew this guy was different.. When i heard " My name is" it was unlike anything id EVER HEARD. Than i bought the cassette tape and it was a wrap. Guilty Conscience than Brain Damage were songs 2 and 3 and i was hooked from their on out.. Just a once in a life time talent and im so glad i was here from the beginning. His music has gotten me through alot of rough times.. He is ONE OF ONE!!
In the high rate of suicides of men these days, this song hits hard to a lot of dudes. It highlights what goes on in our heads when we’re down. People tell us to bury it deep, but it’s songs like this that tell us it’s ok to open up. Eminem is a true artist who is entertaining, but also raw. Lots of respect and love to this guy!
Never another you are right.. Hes the full package..Great lyricist, Great Song writer, Great Flow, Extremely Clever and HUGE BALLS. Definitely 1 of 1 bro!!
I know right.! See, he's different then other rappers. He has meaning behind every song. I love him and his music. 💕 Life wouldn't be the same without this rap god.! :-D
I got a full academic scholarship to college after high school, got addicted to heroin, naturally dropped out, stayed on heroin 10 straight years, got sober 3 years ago, just had my first baby, and now, finally, I'm going back to school in a month for Computer Engineering. I really needed to hear this one right now because I'm scared af. 🤘🏻
You have conquered the highest mountain there is to be climbed, there is nothing that you cannot conquer! You got this! Best of luck, and you are going to excel for sure!
I’m a 50 year old mom of four living in northern illinois. The past few months I have rediscovered your music and it’s pulling me through some shit. So many people have been saved through your music, please keep going.
@@tobythekitten3087 keep ur head up king u got this dont give up man.Good or bad just live and see where this life gives u, i am in the same situation almost just dont give up someone is thinkin about u remember that
@@tobythekitten3087 hey bro things will get better i promise, just keep your head up and look toward your dreams and goals, no matter where you are just know that you are loved and accepted, stay strong, you will make it out, i know you will
I remember playing this song soo much in my early teens.. depressed because I didn’t have a dad, lived in a beat up trailer, used the ride the city bus and making money cleaning the neighbors house in Front of her 3 teen kids. Humiliation at its finest. But hardly any of my high school friends knew that.. kept it a secret.. kept it all bottled up. Mixed emotion I think it was depression. Thank you Em, you really lifted me without holding my hand.
This song reminds me everyday of when I was a very young boy, struggling with depression, low self esteem, and self doubt. Eminem really helps me to express my emotions.
This song saved me from suicide and I'm not even kidding thank you Eminem Edit: whoever you are and if you are about to reply to me I love you , I'm saying this cause a lotta nice people are being so kind and I can't reply to everyone but I feel bad that I cant cause there are too many nice people here , just know that I love you ♥️♥️♥️♥️ and if you are about to reply a hate comment I still love you cause you "maybe" you weren't in the same situation and I'm glad cause it feels so terrible , and if u hating for no reason ok man :/
Like MataKooler said stay strong my friend I’m sure no matter what you go through in the darkness It should all be worth it at the end of the night what WE as humanity as one world go through rather so I wish you all the best with everything and stay strong to seize this life to perhaps be greedy
13 years later and I’m still Listening to this song. This song got me through some shit. I As a 25 year old this song helped me a lot like my family’s death,school and tons other crap. Music helps a lot. Idc what anyone says Eminem will always be a legend.
yep, eminem is actually the best rapper in my opinion, and he raps for a reason. all of his songs either made me feel good, grateful, and some actually made me almost cry, eminem has a heart, end of conversation.
@@ANBUSH_ no u aren't . U don't need to listen to them . U might be not that good at physical appearance but it can change and it doesn't matter much. U are beautiful inside and its never gonna change😍
when people say eminems the best rapper its not because hes fast at rapping its because of the lyrics he uses and the stuff he talks about is real stuff not about girls and drugs hes a lyrical genius
I don't even know how I would feel if I would ever get to hear that Eminem is no more. He is like God to me. He was a go to person for me at the times when I didn't even know what a counsellor or a psychologist is. I was 12 or 13 when I first heard this song. I loved singing the chorus always. It was 3 years later when I started listening to it with a deeper understanding. I used to get bullied by my fellow classmates, teachers and anyone who could see I'm vulnerable enough to get bullied. Used to get beaten up for no reason or for just being myself by people on the basketball court. There came the time when I stopped talking to everyone at school, not even a single word I spoke. I used to come home listen to Eminem and feel better somehow. I had lost all the confidence in myself. It was this song which made me feel strong again, it made me feel that I am worth something and there is no one but me who has to live and support myself through this. After that I became so confident and free that I became everyone's great friend and apparently the center of attraction. But like Marshall, I always know, that I am here all by myself and I will always be, with my family and friends. By myself.
"I just wanted to fit in every place I went, every school I went. I dreamed of being that cool kid, even if it meant acting stupid." Almost cried at that line
Same but it took me this year to realize that I'm not going to fit in and thats okay, spent primary school and high wanting to fit in now that I'm in my last year of high school I dont care
I've been struggling with depression for a couple of months now. Everything just feels numb to me. But as soon as I heard this song tears ran from my eyes and i realized i have many things in my life that i should be thankful for. I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving.
Scrody McBoogerballs XDDDD Thanks bro, I'm a girl though... But I'm really not caring what people say to me anymore... and I'm getting good grades so far so I can go to college and do something good with my life :P
Ivana Cupcake I apologize. You're gonna learn the older you get that things get easier. just because things are hard right now doesn't mean they will be forever. Just know your Worth! There is ALWAYS someone out there for you. Don't let someone treat you like shit just because you want someone to be with.
This music stuff is crazy. All of us listening to these songs. We all have different lives. Some of us poor and living in struggle. Some of us suburban kids trying to identify with Em even when we haven't experienced the struggle (like me). Eventually we will all die and eventually Eminem will be forgotten as all of will be. Don't deny it. Eventually the earth will be no more in this continuously growing universe. But for these few moments. For these five minutes, Eminem gives us a feeling that is constantly replayed in this moment in time. This beat and these words mean nothing in the midst of things. But they also mean everything. Feel me?
I feel all of his music. My girlfriend broke up with me a couple of days ago, and all i can think about is suicide. I love her so much she was the only thing that i could think of all day the only reason i got out of bed in the morning. She was the part of me that completed me and now i just feel worthless. I just want her back so bad, i have started cutting myself and i like it. it feels good it relieves my stress. I am not an Emo or anything like that but I now know why they do it. I just want her back.
All of my friends abandoned me after graduation, my aunt and uncle think I’m a burden to their religion, my moms a recovering addict who can’t see me, my dad prolly starting another family in a different city, and my family only likes me bc I crack jokes but none of them were there for me but Eminem’s music has been the only thing that’s been there to comfort me so thank you Marshall.
Eminem has got me through tough times. The way he delivers this song almost robotic and emotionless compared to his other songs just gives the lyrics a little more depth and impact. One of the countless reasons he's one of the best to ever do it!
"I just wanted to fit in every place I went, every school I went. I dreamed of being that cool kid, even if it meant acting stupid." The lyrics of my life.
i just can i want to comit suicide people dont even want me in there life the think im not "cool" enough but i have friends that will help out thats not them but people just piss me off all the time in this shitty world and it hurts
This song kept me motivated during the worst phase of my life. It was when covid 19 was at it's peak and I used to have depressing thoughts back then. I had sleepless nights and was always used to feel insecure about myself. Eminem gave me a new life , a new confidence which I never imagined I would have a couple of years back. Thank you Em you saved my life.
I remember when I was 14 and ran away for the first time. I was listening to this song on repeat and when I walked out the front door I looked back at the house one last time before walking out the gate. I didn't know the streets I was walking but I walked for 2 hours in the dark cold rain, and everytime I listen to this song I can feel the exact same pain today as I did then. This song deff be the reason I'm still here today
Have you actually explored the genre outside of Eminem, or have you only heard the surface area of shit that goes on the radio? Listen to some Tupac. He told stories too. Listen to almost any rapper's underrated records, most of them have a ton of stories and emotions. People just don't fucking look, because they're too busy sucking Eminem's dick to actually take a look at hip hop as a whole.
@@deanrexzoe1229 man. If Kelly got off the drugs and collabed with Em, and make a song like this, they'd probably be the top song in the actual fucking world.
Eminem is right be yourself no matter what the situation be true to you it does not matter what others think ... Wether getting sober or fighting for your kids give everything you have and more to show you will not break show em all they are wrong and back it up
this man was singing from his personal side, to us, from his guts. we're all humans, we all feel like shit sometimes. this one is sad and the final message is uplifting. thanks Marshall
I'm 20 years old and I'm from a dirt poor family with nothing to our names. I work on a roof everyday in the sun. Working through blood sweat and tears just to make a couple bucks. I attempted to kill myself 3 years back cause I never feel good enough for anyone. Nobody sees the struggles i gotta go through just to survive. And i know theres a huge group of people just like me. This song motivates me to keep on living and keep on grinding whenever I feel like I wanna give up. Life is hard but your music makes it a little bit easier. You'll probably never even see this comment but your music has gotten me through so much
I know what it's like to suffer from depression, my friend. And while I'm no therapist, there is one piece of advice I can give you....don't ever bottle all that pain up and keep it to yourself. Don't ever go too long without speaking to anyone, like I did. That will make it worse. Talk to someone. See a therapist and tell them how you feel. Human beings are social creatures...we need to talk.
I understand you man, and like the other person who replied to your comment, you can get therapy! But while it did not work for me because I didn’t like to talk about my depression to a stranger, so I quit. You could be like me and not fit with therapy, if that is true and you end up not fitting with it, try to talk to maybe a trusted friend
This song carrys such an importand message... "Don't give up, and push yourself no matter how hard it is, Thank you eminem this is such a powerful song ❤
Depression ain't a joke. I lost my cousin to depression in September 2019. He was 24. He was an awesome cousin, he was an awesome father, friend, he had a wife and 2 amazing children. And he was also a great friend. Love and miss you cuz. 1/8/1995-9/16/2019 💔😭😔💔
That breaks my heart. My father left behind his wife and 2 kids, and I struggle with depression, too. But there's one thing I feel deep in my soul, I will never repeat my father's mistakes. RIP to all that lost the battle.
@@knrsalo1398 these have even to less streams/views for a 12 year old song like that. Almost nobody except Em Fans talk about that Song or if someone talks about top10 Em songs, its mostly not in,it needs way more attention
I heard it for the first time yesterday and I've been struggling with my own demons and this song made me realize that I have been living to be a people pleaser and not true to myself
+Erick Diaz i love eminem's work. but i gotta say: BIGGIE WAS THE REAL GOD!!!! SO SHUT THE F*CK UP! THERE WASN'T AND WON'T BE A BETTER RAPPER THEN HIM!
well that says you don't know shit about rap. biggie is the one of the most hardcore rappers i have seen. he is the king of flow,new york and rap. i rest my case
It's not just a song.... It's a pack of pure motivation and comfort lasting for 6minutes.... It's not just the name ' beautiful ' it's the meaning, lyrics, beat , rythm everything, anything 'bout this song is beautiful.... hats off Marshall... you won lots of heart and saved many too with this icon.... like really... you just connect with some point of every one's heart and life with your talent.... an inspiration of a lifetime...
When I'm sad and when my Suicidal thoughts just come to me I come to this song because I don't want to die because I would leave a lot of people in pain but sometimes you can't control those thoughts but sometimes music can help.Dont kill yourself you have much more to live for and remember if no one loves you.I love you I'm always here to talk.
You are allowed to have walkmans All you have to do is order the tapes from the catalogs that’s how stupid if you never been there and you don’t know about it don’t put laughing my ass off because you look stupid
Well to the commenter above dipshit we can listen to music in jail. All jails do things differently and some have tablets now which I had with the radio. Some prisons have computers where you can purchase an mp3 player and buy and download music to them. Do some research. Anyways, I feel you bro when I was 18 I did 3 1/2 to 5 years and mysic got me through it especially songs like this. I'm 27 now and changed my whole life. We live and we learn. Well some do some dont. No homo bro, just remember your beautiful, we all are. Life is beautiful. Remember that.
Today is the first time I’m listening to this song, Marshall thank you. I love you even more. Edit. I was listening to the song and I broke into tears, I really to hear this as a child or teenager per say, I hated the way I looked and was always trying to change myself. Now thinking back, it just makes me feel ashamed for having such feelings about myself.
This song has been a life line to many beautiful, amazing people and if you're reading this, I'm glad you stuck around, because life has so much to offer, it just hasn't got round to you yet, but it will and it will be worth it.
@@YZYGWD i agree at ur statement as this song is stuffed with lot of devices like irony, scarcastism and also full of emotions and sufferings... luv u all who loves EMENIN and SIA..both r my favos.
Listening to this song and reading the comments here makes me feel stronger, like I can do anything I set my mind to despite hurdles along the way. You guys are superheroes, pushing through incredibly difficult situations in life and finding happiness and success. God bless all of you, I am proud of you and inspired by you.
