I often feel that songs can romanticise addiction/alcoholism somewhat. This is one of the first I’ve heard that has a brutal honesty to it. My father is a violent drunk and there’s nothing romantic or poetic about it
Ugly cried when i heard a preview of this on tiktok months ago. The full version made me cry even more lol. Child of addicts/alcoholics, always worried I'm going to accidentally stumble down that same path.
Words can’t describe how much this song reaches me, it’s so hard to feel this way about someone, and it’s so hard not to constantly feel guilty about feeling this way, but I know that it’s not my fault I feel this way, I just wish life didn’t get so fucked sometimes
As a current alcoholic, Baby I’m so fucking sorry that we’re so condemned to rot. Also thank you for standing firm along the rest of us that don’t deserve you
You are so goin to love living life without drinking. You can still do crazy sh!+ but you will avoid the stupid $h!t. And remember it. Celebrate your sobriety every single day by doing something that makes you happy. Sing loud in the shower, go for a swim somewhere beautiful, eat the chocolate cake! Stay strong, stay blessed and stay true. Love yourself more. I promise you won't regret it.
Saw yall before Boy With Uke last night and y’all killed it 🙌🏻❤️😎 I’m 42 years old, had my stepson there for his first concert, and I just subscribed to your channel. Keep pouring your hearts out, make yourselves artistically vulnerable in the way 99.9% will never try, and the sky’s the limit. You are genuinely talented, put the work in.
She has such a great voice and feeling in her delivery. His playing and singing complements her just right, it's a familiar pain imbedded in it that sounds so fuckin familiar
As someone who has dealt with addicts as a child, was(is, i am in recovery 13 years) an addict throughout my entire teen years til 18. I know i hurt a lot of people during that time. And still to this day having to cut ties with addicts i care about for my own mental wellbeing. The thing addicts need to understand is that the harm we cause is real, and no one needs to listen to us, forgive us, or let us back in 🤷🏻♀️ i love this song! So raw and real.
So wild how some like you started so early and are long out by 30. My addiction has been going since 24, i didn’t start early, but I’m 31 now and it’s back on, again. I’ve had sobriety up to 8 months time and time again, i envy you guys who got out so early. As someone with very bad PTSD sometimes it’s incredibly hard for me to not numb my mind, i see the same images over, and over, and over. It never leaves me, and I’m trying my best, but sometimes alcohol/drugs feel like my only escape.
@tadertot10 it sounds so strange, because as an addict, I was an IV user, every day, I was drinking and doing other substances along with everything and almost died a couple times. Terrible things were happening to me and around me. And looking back I think starting so young is what saved me...and that's weird to say because it's also what wrecked me. My growing mind and body all developing around all these substances is not what is supposed to happen, ya know. It left me with lasting damage. But I still feel grateful because I feel like had I started later in life I don't know if I would have had the strength to stop. And I say that even knowing a lot of adults who have overcome their addiction and got clean despite this. But I just feel like for myself personally, being numb all those years helped me get through a lot of traumatic stuff. So now, as an adult, I am still unpacking A LOT of trauma, but I have had the time to learn tools on how to handle it without jumping back into substances. Where as if I was sober during all that trauma and then started using as an adult and realized how these substances made it easier to cope. I feel like i wouldn't have stopped. Perhaps it goes back to how kids are resilient or whatever. Maybe that gives an added willpower to younger addicts that adults struggle with more 🤷🏻♀️ I don't want to say that as a blanket statement, though, because every addict is different, of course! Just thinking out loud is all. I wish you well and hope that you are able to find healing and recovery! It is possible and real. I hope it happens for you. I wish it for everyone suffering right now 💙 Also wanted to add that I was fortunate to have sober support. And that really helped make things stick. I also had a child about a year into my soberity i got pregnant. And after being around addicts as a child, and still dealing with some trauma from that, it really has helped me stick to my recovery. I never want my child to see me like that. Another reason i feel sort of lucky that my addiction started so young because it allowed me to be a sober parent as an adult. Again, this is only lucky for me because I was fortunate to survive. Most of my friends did not. I'm just looking for a brightside in a very dark place
I grew up around alcoholics and became one myself. This song put into words everything I experienced, and the experiences I put others through. Thank you so much for this song, it's beautiful.
I work with Teenager of drug taking parents from all over the world. They really like this Song! German, Afghan, Syrian, African, Roma… Music is the Universal Language as we can see.
You’re in my head!❤ I heard this song (the other video) the first time a week ago, maybe. For days now, you’ve been playing in my head: duck that shut that mouth you’re always talking talking… it’s sososososo soooooooooo good. So good 🥰❤️
I’ve been watching you guys grow and loving your music since the beginning. this song feels like you wrote it for my current situation. I love and appreciate you guys, and would worship you even if you never dropped another song ugh live laugh love hey nothing
whatever you do don’t stop pushing for whatever you want out of this thing because your putting real shit out its catchy full of substance and best part is you look like us your not bieber or swift your everybody else and why do I wanna listen to what the golden ticket has to say ?they don’t have a fucking clue you guys do. awesome stuff
I'm glad this is out. I recently had to end an 8-year friendship because her alcoholism just got too much. And by staying I was enabling her And if I truly loved her and wanted her to get better, I can't continue to enable her. I miss her so much. We were girls together.
Hey guys, hopefully ya see this but I love yalls tunes. Listening to them I feel younger again, and God how I congratulate and thank you for allowing that even if for 3 minutes. Thank you fellers, shits absolutely grand.
So glad I discovered you guys. Your music is refreshing to hear in this day and age of AI, auto tune, and more. Guitar, drums, great voices, harmonies and meaningful, relatable lyrics. This is music.
Hey I just saw you guys open at the Boywithuke concert last night and asked you for your autographs on my phone! I think your music was definitely one of my favorite parts about the concert!
Hey nothing 🫶 you are playing my heart strings & rattling my bones. The film cliip - reading your story/window gazing/hearing you sing the feelings... "Don't need a ladder to know the truth"... Felt that. Thank you. l will not be the same...F*cking love it... 💗
All the pain you caused" That whole part of the song reminds me of a toxic friend and one of my close good friends, and i always joke that he will make an edit about him using that part. Lol
OMG another banger!! Thank you for your music! I LOVE ALL of it and listen obsessively. It would be amazing if you could release a version of this without the speaking parts. I don't like being this person, but as an adult child of alcoholics/domestic violence survivor, those parts are too triggering and uncomfortable for me to listen to this song multiple times but it is sooooo good and I want to.
I may not relate as much since I didn’t grow up around addicts, but I have dealt with and still deal with verbal abuse, and these lyrics hit home for me. My favorite line in particular is the “Look me in the eyes and say I’m wrong - well, I’m not wrong.” Reminds me of how I internally feel after being guilt tripped and gaslit. Also, keep up this amazing work! Been following you guys for at least a year and been hooked on you ever since! Harlow and Tyler, you both genuinely mean the world to me :)
Also, I’m having one of the most stressful and overwhelming weeks of my life, so this is helping me cope a bit with the anger and bottled up emotions I have. Thanks for this beautiful masterpiece
