Just watched this 3/21/24. This song had a lot of meaning to me when it came out. Added bonus, I took my daughter to the filming of the music video. She is in it.
I will never forget working camera on this set. What a Blessing. Kefier was director and theae guys (Ligehouse) were THE BEST. A job I will always treasure. Los Angeles was still beautiful and awesome then. Love this band 🤟🫶✝️🕊
We're all broken. That's why God sent his Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins..he took our place. He took our broken hearts, our pain, our bitterness, our jealousy, all of our sins and died in our place. When we commit our lives to Jesus, he brings joy, peace, restoration and so much more into our lives. We are no longer broken but complete in Him.
I find this video extremely hard for me to watch..I lost my beautiful wife in a deadly car accident a few years ago. The lyrics get to me all the time and the last couple minutes of this video gives me chills. I miss her so much! I love u baby! I miss you! I know your walking with Jesus and we will reunite someday.
It's July 2022, and I'm still holding onto Jesus. These are some trying times for sure; I can feel so old, so exhausted and; so unsettled, and then I remember where my help comes from. There is hope, there is healing, and there is most definitely meaning in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏🏼
If you're listening to this right now: It's gonna be okay, after a while of not being okay. You are loved, unique, quirky and YOU are you. That's what I love. Cry it out baby. You are safe here.
Jason Gideon: “ I guess I’m just looking for it again, that belief I had back in college. The belief I had when I first met Sarah and it all seemed so right. The belief in happy endings”
It took me many years to understand that this peace is more relatable than I thought. Even though we maybe Broken, we’re still alive and can make all the difference.
The broken clock is a comfort It let's me sleep tonight Maybe it can stop tomorrow From stealing all my time I am here still waiting I still have my doubts I am damaged at best Like you've already figured out I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain There is healing In your name I find meaning So I'm holding on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on Barely holding on to you The broken locks were a warning You got inside my head Tried my best to be guarded I'm an open book instead I still see your reflection Inside my eyes That are looking for purpose There still looking for life I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain (In the pain) Is there healing In your name (In your name) I find meaning So I'm holding on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm barely holding on to you Hanging on another day Just to see what you will throw my way And I'm hanging on to the words you say You said that I will, will be OK Broken light on the freeway Left me here alone I may have lost my way now Haven't forgotten my way home I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain (In the pain) There is healing In your name (In your name) I find meaning So I'm holding on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin' on), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') Barely holding on to you I'm holding on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin' on), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') Barley holding on to you
"The broken lights on the freeway, left me here alone, I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home" some heart wrenching lyrics, always gets to me.
I lost my wife 2 weeks ago, she was very sick. There was a time when we spent a few months away from each other and she sent me this song. It takes on a whole other meaning now. I love you babe 😢
The broken clock is a comfort It helps me sleep tonight Maybe it can stop tomorrow From stealing all my time And I am here still waiting Though I still have my doubts I am damaged at best Like you've already figured out I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain There is healing In your name I find meaning The broken locks were a warning You got inside my head I tried my best to be guarded I'm an open book instead And I still see your reflection Inside of my eyes That are looking for a purpose They're still looking for life I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain (in the pain) Is there healing In your name (in your name) I find meaning So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm barely holdin' on to you I'm hangin' on another day Just to see what you will throw my way And I'm hanging on to the words you say You said that I will, will be OK The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain (in the pain) There is healing In your name (in your name) I find meaning So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm barely holdin' on to you I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin') I'm barely holdin' on to you
Yes, my heart is broken, But hey, it's still beating. It's working. It's alive. And so am I. A few years ago I had a very hard time in my life. I threw myself in my music, because it was the only thing I had left. I heard this song and it reminded me so much of myself. I learned the lyrics. I learned how I had to play it on my guitar. I threw myself in it. But then it got better and I slowly but surely forgot about this song, about this band. I had a few happy years. But now, it's even worse than it was a few years ago. One evening, I ran in my room crying, because my crush dumped me. I took my guitar, how I do everytime when I feel sad. I started to play a few chords. Just a random mix and suddenly, I was playing this song. And then I started to sing. And though I never heard this song again since years, i never looked at the chords again, I never sang the lyrics again, I didn't even know anymore that this song existed, I knew every word, every chord, every note. And when I finished playing, I put my guitar away, took my phone and searched the song on youtube. because after all, it reminds me of myself. This song showed me that I made it through hard times once. So imma do it through them a second time. I'm alive.
I was diagnosed with major depression back in March. I've always known my depression was likely an actual medical condition I never sought treatment for, so when I got my diagnosis I was still pretty shocked to learn the severity of it. After battling so many suicidal thoughts and one unsuccessful attempt, thanks to a very good friend, I'm still on this side of the grass fighting just as hard as day 1. Throughout the good days, the bad days, and the even worse days, this music has remained with me. Lifehouse, the Fray, Coldplay. Then I see the community of people brought together by these same bands and their music that are going through their own struggles. For one reason or another, it helps me knowing I'm not alone in this fight. Even when the guilt and anger and utter despair from everything that accounts for what I fight everyday are closing in, everyone's support of one another lifts my spirits and helps me keep going. Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Just wanted to say thank you to all of you. God I love this song :)
I'm also battling with Major Depression, and Anxiety... I was diagnosed just a year ago now. And i completely understand where you're coming from. It's very hard... but keeping faith in better days, and having my son is what keeps me holding on. We can do this, keep your faith and hope, even during the very difficult times.
Amen! No matter the storms that come your way stand on the rock that last from everlasting to everlasting. The chief cornerstone that the builders rejected and now lives in glory. In Jesus name, Shalom
I never felt this and I've been listening to this song for a long time. I lost my mom in 2017 and this song still brings tears to me. It's heartbreaking and trying to move on. I still love her and I'm never letting that gone. I'm still grieving to this day! Miss you and love you mom!
Usually I try not to watch videos because it changes how I hear the song. This one is different. It's so moving and leaves me at a loss of words every time. Timeless song.
This is a timeless song. It was the first song that played on shuffle after my grandmother's funeral in the early 2000's. It still reminds me of her and that moment. Everytime I hear it I feel she is looking down on me ❤❤❤
Simply Lifehouse... Love all their songs, inspirational, lovely, melancholic, sad, happy, lately 90-2000 vibe... So much feelings in their music... Miss these times, but with this amazing band always can comeback.
For the past 96 hours, Broken and From Where You Are, have been the only songs I’ve been able to think of. My cousin, Tristan Clements, died at the age of 24. He was born in 1996 and I was born in 1990. I saw him routinely when his story began. I never thought I’d be around to see his story end.
Young people like yourself need to listened to music such as this... 80.. 90 and early 2000's music is best.. although some new artist today are still good following up these old school rock etc... I'm glad you loved it my child..❤ you were most probably a year and a few months old when this song is out.... Young generations like yourself this is the kind of music n many others that you should be listening too not today's music (except a few) which only spoils kids at a young tender age ...
This song is possibly my favorite song yet! A bit of backstory: I was born and raised into a wonderful Christian household with loving parents and a great brother. Along with that I’ve been raised my entire life listening to CCM and Lifehouse was one of the great bands that played often (back when K-Love aired this music in the 2000’s and early 2010’s). Since the past several months at age 20 I find myself jamming to their music very often. With this song the bridge gets to me the most: “I’m hanging on another day Just to see what you will throw my way Well I’m hanging on to the words you say You said that I will, will be ok” Whenever I hear this part of the song it reminds me how God has our future in His hands and I need to invest in his Word and the Holy Spirit will guide us in grace and truth.
this isnt about christianity or any specific religion for fucks sakes. you can be spiritual without being christian and i know this because of literal thousands of years of history prior to jesus being born
I remember listening to this song in the lowest point of my life, not even making the connection that it is about God. In Jesus name I have found meaning❤️
I like this very much❤️. This song is about the Life between man and God. We actually didnt feel like listening to God's voice when we face good situation and happy moments in life. That seem to make us almost forget the Lord in our daily life normally but when we broke in life or difficult road have us, all that work out to let us have hope in him although hard times are upon us. The very broken heart lead us to the Lord just after we almost lost our way. Strength makes us far away from the Lord when weakness makes us nearer to him, God. One of the best Inspirational song🙏🏻
I think I discovered the meaning of this music video after all these years. The crowd of people represents the world, heading one way, and the guy in the video decides to go against the ways of the world to seek out the truth for himself, even when the world fights back and pushes him around and tries to keep him from reaching the truth. When he gets there, he arrives at the scene of a death, which is Jesus, and then discovers that his old self has to die in order to be restored and set free.
It's 2022 and this is still one of the songs, I go back and listen to. Such a classic. I like the album version more though. Edit: it's 2023 now and we're still listening to this classic!
Jordan Spencer I love your faith and desire to follow Christ, but I share a slightly different opinion than you. I think it is obvious that we were worth it to God, else why did God give up His only begotten son for us? The translation of Christ’s final words, “it is finished,” is from a Greek word, tetelestai, which means “paid in full.” By definition of that, He paid with His life to save us from sin and death, and I think He would say paying with His life for us was worth it. I truly believe that we were worth it to God, and that He loves us, even when we can’t seem to love ourselves or think we are worth anything. I’m very happy to see another Christian shouting Hosanna, and wish you all the best. May you know you are worth it, and loved.
This song mean a lot to me. Iv been saved for a couple months, my friend Jordan went to church with me last friday 11/8/2013 first night back in church, he gave his life back to the lord, we stood and he cried and thanked me for bring him, it was kinda funny im 5'7 hes 6'3 i got face full of shoulder, but this vid says a lot in the start of the vid, like the bible says one road will be wide with lots of people going the same way, while the other will be narrow with few people going that way but the narrow way is to heaven, and this song makes me think of lots of things good, and bad, happy, and sad, but reminds me who i am and where i stand.
here is my Broken story. i was very ill for 15 years. i had so much pain i couldn’t walk or sleep. everything that touched my skin felt like a carpet burn and i couldn’t listen to music because it hurt my head. i was so lonely. sometimes i didn’t want to live any more. sometimes i would slip out of my body and stare at myself to keep from feeling the pain. the doctors told me i would never recover but i refused to believe that. i researched and found alternative treatments. i fired my doctors and switched from western medicine to natural and alternative treatment modalities. i slowly began to get well. when i felt like i could listen to music again, this is the first song i heard. i burst into tears because of all the time i lost and i felt so broken and i was still barely holding on. but i was given another chance at life and my body healed. my heart began to feel again. and i still love this amazing song and i’m so grateful i get to keep on living.
This is such a great music video on many levels. I love how the band is curious as to what is holding up traffic in the tunnel, going to the accident site, seeing themselves, and trying to go back into the tunnel and warning their asleep bodies of the danger ahead. Just brilliant.
No matter how many times I hear that composition, it is always a eclectic clariification of a vastly profound emotion. Its as if a magnet keeps pulling me back, over over. Thank you for listening to your calling to be talented musicians! You all are truely meant to keep jamming. God bless.
The evil of this world will break you down but the goodness of Christ is far greater! He will lead your feet if you ask him to. May you find peace in his name brothers and sisters. God bless! Christian.
Jacqueline O'Boyle Sometimes when we feel broken ,like we've lost our way, the best thing to do is Pray, to find the strength to pick someone else up, and when we do that we find ourselves and find meaning to our own lives!! Have a great Christmas!🎄❄⛄🎅
Yes exactly. Thank you. I did that recently and it turned my world right side up. Ahhh!!! All is getting so much brighter!!! Praise Jesus! Praise God! :)
Jacqueline O'Boyle Always remember that you're Heavenly Father love's you, and you are his daughter,he knows that you have gift's and talent's, to lift others!! And help them to see that God is there each day,their is nothing we can't do with the Lord's help!! Remember the world is the Lord's classroom, and we all have trials ,but when we lift burdens for others it is truly a blessing to be a servant of the Lord's!Take cake, I'm so happy you are doing better!👸
I'll say this song and Three Doors Down single "Away From The Sun are by far the best 2 emotional downfalling songs of all time. You can't argue there.
One of my first ever Lifehouse songs and it sound just as good now as it did all those years ago. In fact, it sounds better because there is so much more sentiment attached to this beautiful song. Jason Wade has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard from a singer.
this song accompanies me in all phases of my life, I met lifehouse more than 10 years ago and it was the best thing that happened to me, despite not being a super famous band they are one of the best I have ever heard and I insist that they accompany me in all my phases, thank you from my heart ❤️
Im 54.. a 70s hard rock n 80's till today metal head at heart.. I'm a musician myself, I got the beginning of rock n roll from my mom's record collection, 1st concert was elvis in 76.. anyways music is my life n I just wanna say I've got most of these guys cd's and what great song writing and music! He reminds me of the great song writers of the 70s! Great story telling.. as a guitar player i.must say too that I love their ballads and their acustic playing.. their phrase, the choices in that is soooo good and inspiring to me. Their very great musicians! Lifehouse is 1 of my favorite what I call pop bands.. their actually are the only 1 in that radio playability I say that about.
I played this song at my son's memorial service. This song reminds me of him. It describes the pain exactly. The pain is intense but I am still holding on and keeping his memory alive. Also healing when we talk about him and he is always with me. He been gone 1 year 9 months and 3 days.
i'm so sorry for your loss terry...sometimes i should just avoid the comment section altogether.....just reading your comment IMMEDIATELY thrust me back 4yrs ago on my mother's dying bed, dying of cancer that she battled for 2yrs.... it was just me and her; i had other siblings, but i had the responsibility and i had that pressure, pain, despair and sorrow for 2yrs....When she passed, my immediate reaction was relief because she was outta the pain forever. and you're right; my mom still lives in me and through so she's not really gone. but christmas and new years is when i miss her most- and in your private thoughts, there is still a void, you know Terri? anyway thank you AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I feel like Lifehouse was made for people who are just stuck in the middle of life. Not too rough, not too great. Maybe lives in the Midwest. Something like that
No...I'm black i was raised in the suburbs but definitely have hood in me and I love Lifehouse I like a different variety of music...ppl call me weird but I don't care....
2021, still listening :) So glad I have finally found their RU-vid channel. Remember buying their CD album back in time. It was recommended by an annoying staff of the record store who tried to hit on me. I just couldn't refuse his recommendation because I have already refused to date him. In the end, I bought this album and listened to it, then I have fallen in love with this album. That's the time people used to replay just one CD a thousand times on CD player, and even remember the order of every song. Somehow I lost the CD album more than a decade after many moving. And couldn't remember any single clue of this whole album. Tried to google, the sound hunting app..... I felt so helpless with some random melodies in my head, I even felt chest tightness while trying too hard to recall the info. Anyway, I am super happy and emotional right now, I've finally found these songs, just brings me back to student age. I will for sure come here and enjoy their songs again and again.
You will never know how dark mental illness is and to be trapped in a broken soul and a torchered mind each day this song let's me know how truly broken I am 💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I really connect to these words god bless you 🙏
When suffering pain (mental, emotional and physical) the darkness becomes a friend and hope is just a pin prick of light in a vast ocean of darkness. This song is great. If you cannot relate please consider yourself lucky. To those that can relate.....I feel your pain. Don't give up it will eventually be better or at least that's what I am told....
I've been freaking trying to find this video for months. I couldn't remember the words or the artist and finally it came to me last night. I'm on my eighth time listening to it.
+ilovehanszimmer It's the best feeling when you FINALLY find the song. Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky". It took me a good 7 years to find it. Heard it on a Sirius XM commercial and that narrowed it down to Tom Petty.
Heard this on Grey's Anatomy, THANKFULLY because I use to listen to this in grade school. It's an amazing song. Being a caretaker to both my dying parents with cancer/demntia...it's hard to get through each day now.
ONLY GOD CAN HEAL ALL OUR PAINS THIS SONG WAS VERY PERFECT FOR DOES PEOPLE WHO GOING TO VERY ROUGH TIMES IN THERE LIFE WE ALL BARELY HOLD ON TO HIM...😭😭😭
I cannot even say how much I friggin love this song. I just happened to be watching the episode of Greys it was on last night too. ❤❤. Love this so much. ❤❤
