this song everytime, my pops was a vietnam veteran in the 173 airborne brigade, he came back and started a family with intense ptsd and a broken man that never ever quit fighting up till his death from the hardest fight, cancer. this band let alone this song was one of the ones we used to jam to. pray for all the veterans out there lost and alone.
I'm so sorry about your father. It's so sad that the ones who fought for this country were still battling even after the war was over. My prayers go out to your father as well as all of the other veterans who have risked there lives or have died protecting us.
My father lost his fight in 2002 from complications from diabetes but he too was a Vietnam vet that suffered severe PTSD long before they had a name for it 💔. My love to you and to your family
I am really, really sorry to here about your pops. I wasn't able to serve do to medical reasons but I have the nothing but respect for anyone who served in my place. God bless you all.
i have two uncles who served in vietnam in the army.one came home from the war completely changed,serious ptsd.they are my heroes.i enlisted in MARINE CORPS which changed me also in the next generation.they respect me for being the only family member in MARINE CORPS,they have no idea my respect for them.Anyone who served in VIETNAM has my utmost respect.i salute your father.my father was 82nd airborne jumpmaster and taught me respect for those who have fought for this country,good or bad
I've lost my mother as well at the age of 21 I preformed CPR but did not work. I had to pull her life support. This song has gotten me through dark times as well. Keep strong brother
this song makes me want to slowly walk down a road in the middle of nowhere at 1am while the moon is shining brighter than ever and the stars shining like diamonds under sunlight. I’m more than obsessed with this song
I love walking at night because it’s so quiet and peaceful and plus the weather feels cool at night. I used to do this all the time with music, it’s wonderful.
(Lyrics) Another day in this carnival of souls Another nights settles in, as quickly as it goes The memories are shadows, ink on the page And I can't seem to find my way home And it's almost like Your heaven's trying everything Your heaven's trying everything To keep me out All the places I've been and things I've seen A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams The faces of people I'll never see again And I can't seem to find my way home 'Cause it's almost like Your heaven's trying everything To break me down 'Cause it's almost like Your heaven's trying everything To keep me out 'Cause it's almost like Your heaven's trying everything To break me down 'Cause it's almost like Your heaven's trying everything Your heaven's trying everything To break me down To break me down To break me down Your heavens trying everything Your heavens trying everything To break me, down
From this point in his career to present day, Ivan Moody has been through a LOT of rough patches and you can still feel it in his music and in his voice. With how sincere he is in his delivery and how powerful and emotional his vocals are you can feel his hardship and pain. His new music and newer take on a sober life takes me back to this song when he was just at a breaking point and was practically crying for help like many of us have. I am just amazed with what this man can do. He is an absolute legend and I admire the strength he has to cope with such a rough stardom. Ivan Moody, I got love for you brother. Stay strong and keep writing amazing music
If only he knew he was a pawn of the zionists/bankers/military industrial complex, maybe he would have made decisions in life to not sell himself to such evil people and still be around. It saddens me to no end...
@@Astroqualia We all know that war is a business in America and we know it is merely for the profit of the Oligarchy. We are not naive. Though you disrespect this young man's service to all of us with your 'stating TFO' remarks. Get a life and while you are at it get some humility. You clearly lack empathy and compassion. Under a different context I would have agreed with you. You are just way out of line, in my opinion, to make that comment here. Take Care
This played at the end of a Criminal Minds Episode and I had to find it again, I don't listen much to FFDP but this song.....was to good not to find again.
My dad always told me about Five Finger Death Punch and how good their music is. I have fond memories of us listening to them and having a good time. Once we were listening to them while we were having a little campfire and he was drinking a cold one. Having a good talk about life and how much he loves to listen to FFDP. It's been a year since he was killed and I still can't believe it. It doesn't seem real. I will play his favorite bands and music for him.I know he's in a better place. I love you dad, rest easy.
It makes me strong and but also makes me think deeply about my late husband. His death and his absence will not break me down. Our love that brought us together is still there.
I won't lie, I've never cried in my life whilst listening to a song, or moreover singing one even if it's alone or with a recording, or with other people... This is the first song that I've ever shed a tear to...
I use to listen to this song when I was a kid. I never truly understood the meaning of it back then, but now since I've served in the military as a combat M.O.S, I clearly understand it now and it hits home every time I listen to it. Thank you to all those who are currently serving, and if there are any Vets out there having a hard time, just know that you are not alone. Reach out to someone please, we all got your back.
I have known this song for a long time, but only now it has acquired a special meaning for me. I am from Ukraine and my husband is at war, every day can be the last for our family and I don't know how to live on. Sometimes I feel like I can't and can't even cry anymore because I think if I cry I'll break down. When I listened to this song today, I was able to cry for the first time in a very long time. Thank you for this track Five Finger Death Punch 🖤
@evasaiusheva4125 I'm so sorry to hear that. The world is a crazy scary place right now. Because of my faith in Jesus, I have peace knowing that good WILL win over evil. Unfortunately lots of suffering until that happens. Prayers for your family and country 💙
People have this whole idealism of perfection. Bullshit. I have good day's and bad day's. Triggers I avoid.. heaven is just a word for where souls go. 🙏
Played this at my daddy's funeral , in 2020 . At 19/20 y/o ... Still feel it just as deep as that day . Still rips me to shreds . I miss and love you daddy . I hope you found your way home
good music never gets old...it just goes on the back burner for awhile to make room for the other stuff...but it's always there, staying timeless, until it's time to play again...47 years old!!!
Me too I WAS ON STAGE TOO wait try to search ffdp derian lake and click the one thats grey and watch it and you will see me and ivan kissed me in the head twice
I first heard this song and ffdp while in Afghanistan in 2011. The therapeutic qualities of this song brings peace and comfort to me in an otherwise hectic world. Thank you ffdp.
My God, his voice is absolutely amazingly beautiful and unlike any male voice I've heard in such a long time. Seeing them in concert was fucking unforgettable!
A bittersweet nostalgic feeling swells in my heart when I listen to this. To add more fuel to the fire, I never would've remembered this song again were it not for an older show I found that used to play every night in my childhood home. It brings with it memories of peace, warmth, and security. It's been over a decade since those feelings. So much tragedy and fear in my life for all of that time. It's terribly cheesy, but it really does feel so far from home.
I heard this song for the very first time on the rec yard in prison on my headphones. Shit hit me so hard. The lyrics were telling my story from that time period.."The faces of people I'll never see again" "I can't seem to find my way home" had so much meaning at the time.. glad I made it out of that place..
I hate the comments that include the age of the individual. If music is good it does what it is supposed to, touches your soul. I feel like 5FDP has so many of those great songs that you can relate to. Age does not matter.
This is one of the best songs ever written in my opinion and it saved my life one summer trying to stay clean and survive a break up with the only person I’ve ever loved and my best friend for over a decade, luckily that’s in the past and we couldn’t stay away from each other more than a year but it still feels fresh and like yesterday when it was like 5 years ago. Five finger death punch is just amazing.
i came to this song after burying my grandfather it was the hardest day of my life carrying his caskey it made me realize him and my grandma are looking down and saying were still here for you just in a different way and also my best friend jake mom is lookin out for me as well
Thank you for the amazing songs FFDP. You help me through the toughest times I endure all the pain and suffering gets better when I listen to your songs and I thank you for supporting the troops who want to make it home to the ones they love. I’m here to protect the ones I love and all of you as well. The battle wages on in all shapes and forms so keep up the fight soldiers were all here for each other
So sorry for you and your band mates, i know what its like when everyone wants you to do something and you just want to go home. Thanks for your sacrifice for us! Im a trucker...
This song is what got me into FFDP and I have to say I am so grateful for this song. My god, I love theses guys so much, the beauty, meaning and courage these men display on a daily basis inspire me so much. Ivan, you'll never know how much your struggle and journey has influenced and inspired me to keep going through all the bullshit and all the depression and anxiety. From the bottom of my heart, I want to sat thank you. Thank you for showing me I'm not alone and there is someone out there who made it and is still humble and not afraid to say it's not always okay. I love you guys so much.
I dedicate this song to my nephew Jesse! He was the guy that was killed in Maringo township in 2020! No matter what happens from now til the end of time I'll always love you Jesse Allen Fyffe
My step dad always listens to FFDP and I've never known why. I just sat and read the comments and lyrics an I'm crying . It's always been a dream since I was a child to protect my country. But I wonder is this how i will feel
were? he gave it all bro so he's still one hell of a soldier and I'm sure he's still in the fight you just cant see him.. Hat's off to the both of you.
FFDP,Thank ya'll for spreading the word about recovery.The promised rewards are yours and millions of others.12 years sobriety here.PTSD and Booze tried to cut me down almost did.Thanx again.Recovery of anything is so damn hard but ya'll convey so much positivity that i believe u r helping people that are struggling.Friend of Bill W
Spoken by someone who truly knows how badly it feels to walk around in those shoes!! Unless personally experienced it's very hard to put into words, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone!!
Ten years since I was in Iraq last. I still wake up at night reaching for a gun that is no longer there. Many faces of friends gone forever, their lives snuffed out in the prime of life. The horror is never over. When you return too the horror of life back home, the constant nagging question in the back of your mind "Did I do all I could to keep my brothers alive? Why was I spared? The hypervirulence of walking through a park and constantly scanning every hiding place, every rooftop, the feelings of anxiety whenever stopped in traffic. The habit of never taking the same route to a place twice in a row. The nightmares on the 4th of July. The overwhelming grief on memorial day when all you can do is visit your lost friends and leave a coin on the grave. The loss of a marriage when your wife can not stand the not knowing if you are alive or dead for another year. The only respite is veterans day. We congregate at Applebee's for a free meal, we all wear the hat with insignias of our units, we honor our fallen family, we share the distinct knowledge and and fraternity of a person who has stared into the void, and had the void stare back into us. War is glorious, to those who have no experience in it.-Pindar
My great grandfather was a WW2 veteran and he was the kindest and most loving man I’ve ever knew. This song made me think of him and I cried for weeks when I knew his days were numbered. He passed away sat next to me in 2016 aged 96 with my great grandmother in the room with us. She also left us in 2018 and there’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think of them and what an impact they made on our lives. Grief has taught me that we never truly heal from it. We just make peace and remember the good times. My heart goes out to everyone who’s lost a loved one ❤️
Listened to this song everyday before I went to boot camp and do to this day!! Hooyah to all my shipmates out there HOOYAH NAVY and my respect to all my brothers in arms 🫡
@Wolf Morgan that's where I first heard it and what made me fall in love with the song it fit the episode perfectly that episode should've won awards its one of my favorites
RIP my father passed away at the end of august of this year, due to a fight against cancer... i only want to hug you once more, and say i love you... farewell my friend, a good soldier, a good dad, and a good friend...miss you.
This hits you on a different kind of emotional level. It's like you are trapped on a limbo of souls, in the middle. All the emotions overflowing all around.
I'm laying here listening to this song as everything I love has been taken from me and I feel like I have lost myself and I feel like dying but I'm already dead inside.
