Loneliness--Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada 

What I love about HeartSupport is that tbh I'm not really a fan of some of the artists featured but that doesn't matter. What matters is that I can watch some relatively successful person get in front of a camera and basically tell me, "hey, I'm broken too and that's ok for us. Things get better, I'm living proof. You can do it just don't give up." And that means the world to me.

this guy is just.... well i could say perfect but then people would start calling me gay or wtv so, im just gonna say, this guy is such a great person and such a musician, he puts like everything he got in his screams i can feel it, i ask myself if other people when listen to him feel it too I don't know i just admire him a lot. Keep strong man, you probably won't ever meet me but i wish you the best.

I wish many other people who don't listen to our "type" of music would see this side of the musician/music and would understand what it means to us and how we relate/connect to the artist, you can feel his emotion and that's rare in the music industry nowadays, mike I feel you man!

“818” is still the soundtrack to so many peace-bringing drives for me. We still feel you out here ✊🏼

Why I admire and look up to this man.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. So glad something like this exists. Thank you Jake Luhrs and Mike Hranica.

This has been my life for the last year. His words convey everything. He devil wears prada is my favorite band and this just makes the connection closer.

watching this in 2021 during pandemic. I can't wait to see Mike in person again..

Mr. Hranica, thank you.

i come back to this video every time i struggle with my loneliness and hardships of depression. thank you so much heart support and mike hranica for all the good you do. i am so grateful.

I watch this video every day. Mike has been one of my biggest inspirations to better myself and my life.

I find a lot of similarities in what he say's in my life. Being lonely, and shy, its just a terrible way to live life for me. I want to be confident in what i do, but i see everything in such a negative way because of being alone most of the time.

Honestly I started to cry halfway into the video. Him and I have a few things in common, such as our beliefs, what he described as a "meditation" method, and some other personal issues. He's such an amazing person and writer. I think about them every day; yes, it may seem obvious due to my username and what-not, but I'm just being who I want to be and I try to base my life off of the way Mike lives because he's such an aspiring man. As Mike says at every show, "may God's good Love and Grace be with all of you". :)

wow this is awesome, give everything to God

I love this video. Being a Christian myself this is very inspiring since I've been dealing with loneliness for some time now. God bless Mike!

I can really identify with a lot of what Mike is saying.

I struggle with lonliness as well, TDWP was one of my first bands!

love you guys as you walked off the stage at crofoot a few weeks ago I yelled your name and you looked right at me and pointed to me, your music has gotten me through the darkest period of my life, I could never repay you and the the rest of Prada much respect and love bro

the part when he talks about relying on the attention of another person, and the grief when it isn't there anymore..... just like...... the feels D:

I really hope they go farther in the music industry and not let things get into his head, I really love the emotion in their songs. They're such a great band.

thank god for tdwp. Going to see them this march. So excited!

Loneliness has always been... when I was a kid I was very, very shy and I had a hard time uhh just making friends and, and kind of being on the same level and page as everyone else. Umm and then once I-I joined the band and you know you're forced to be around so many people. So uhh, such close contact and whatnot that helped a lot as well as performing for uhh a number of people. Umm, and then I was also even when I was still in high school I got involved in a long term relationship that umm did not end up as well as it could have. And uhh that sort of kind of, kind of threw like a wrench in the spokes as far as like reigniting a lot of my loneliness, but at the same time umm cause I had really just hidden my, my feelings and my, my confidence and everything behind umm surrounding myself with people and trying to win some of the attention, I suppose. Umm and that went crashing down and then since then and through - that was years ago, but with so many other struggles and there's really something umm, a part of my life that I realized needed to be uh remedied, and umm, I think that the, the common denominator to a lot of my issues is - does tend to be like that loneliness. So many events that always happen the same way umm would be like, would just be the, the times when I was umm with people or with uhh a certain girlfriend that I was dating or whatever, and uhh, and not receiving that attention and relying on it so much to where when it's not there then I just feel nothing, or I feel horrible. It's the lowest of low for me. Umm, but the beautiful thing that I started to find more and more and something I know that I do hopefully once a day, at least, or frequently throughout the week, is just having those moments of, of, of self in uhh it doesn't have to be so specific as like prayer, but like I feel like, like these days going on like a motorcycle ride and just like a quiet - like heading out of the city and driving through the city and whatnot. To me that almost feels like prayer. That feels like that there's nothing you have to worry about. It's almost a meditation. I feel like that's very uhh - I feel like that's built from god. And those are the sort of circumstances that really has helped me so much as far as loneliness, and the things that got me there was that relying and that honestly putting a lot of things, too much - too many things on other people's shoulders. Too many things on my own shoulders. Umm, when again as a christian we're called to give our - give everything to god and like, rely on that. Uhh, and I-I for a long time I wouldn't do that, and again a number of specific events would happen and it would be like just standing up and staring at the ceiling, you know? Umm, but then there, there - things are better now. There are better moments of - not to say there aren't issues - they obviously most certainly are, but umm, learning to enjoy the things that I know I love, and uhh, to be grateful for that, and to enjoy that is the better part of it.

Ive really struggled with lonliness since graduating college and i can really relate to this

this is the best thing ive ever seen

so how many of us watched the whole thing !

This dude has been for awhile and will always be an inspiration to me mike if you ever read this man you are amazing bro!

Mike is honestly my biggest role model, he is so real if that makes sense and it's honestly amazing.

I love you mike. Youre music is a big inspiration to everyone

Ily Mike

I relate to a lot of this. I really look up to Mike, he's a great guy and a great performer.

This was great ! Thank you

Saw these guys headline in Charlotte a couple of years ago. I have followed them since day one. Mike is the real deal and during their set you could totally feel the emotions through the lyrics. It was insane! It changed the whole atmosphere of the venue. TDWP is amazing.

What a great video. My respect for this guy has increased.

0:42 He was gonna cry was he? Geez this is so heartbreaking to watch.

Such an amazing artist . He is underrated and he is very artist

Such a nice video. People should have give themselves time to search and listen to this kind of clip. Very inspiring.

I never post anything to vids but this video and this man has become a huge inspiration to me anytime I'm down or lost I jam to his music

wow! i'm very glad I discovered this because I dealing with same struggle with loneliness and feeling surrounded by people yet totally empty. Even when i'm with my friends sometimes i just don't have certain things in common with them like my homie listens to piano music and i listen rock music, both gives us emotional relief, but when we out ridin', i don't won't play my music and i can't really stomach his music but i just go along with it because i don't feel OUTCAST AGAIN!

Can absolutely relate to what he is saying... Cannot wait to see you guys perform next week in Tampa. It's been a long time coming but i finally have the opportunity to witness some of my favorite musicians live.

Thank you for making this video I'm really shy and have a hard time some times thank you for making this video

I come back to this interview for the amazing song in the back round !

Never heard of these guys but this hits me here --->

Mike is the man.

I know that feeling, he is just right

Well spoken.

he's so beautiful

DWP is amazing. But I’m pretty sure this guy if not all the members are not atheist now. Still an amazing band. Hope God brings them back.

I went to school with him

Does anyone know the instrumental playing as the background music?

Does the feeling ever go away

Hranica in Slovak means "border"

Does anybody know what the background music is?

them spectacles tho

what's the song in the video?

Does The Devil Wears The Prada considers a Christian band?

Wonder how he'll feel when we learns he's been worshipping the Sun his entire career..

It's crazy, he goes from looking white to Mexican to white to Mexican. haha. I can't put my figure on it.

Have you ever screamed so hard your false teeth came out Mike?
