four years ago my uncle killed him self and before he did it he burned this song on a cd for each one of the family members its a very personal song for me it says so much about how my uncle was feeling in the end. R.I.P. uncle paul you are still loved and greatly missed.
Anything that has the name "Acoustic" attached to it, and the name Rob Thomas, Matchbox 20 or Nickelback in it, is always amazing. I mean, this guy has a stereo built right in his voice box, incredible as always. Watching this in 2020 and still just amazed.
All day staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be, me I'm talking to myself in public Dodging glances on the train And I know, I know they've all been talking about me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me Out of all the hours thinking Somehow I've lost my mind But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be I've been talking in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're taking me away But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be Hey, how I used to be How I used to be Well, I'm just a little unwell How I used to be How I used to be I'm just a little unwell
My father suffered from Alzheimer's Dementia. This song resonated so perfectly to the situation. He died a little over a month ago. I'm thankful he is no longer unwell. I miss you Dad 😢
Rob Thomas is fantastic! He really knows how to make you understand things that we may not normally think about very much. I love his voice and his intense way of bringing home the point of every song.
I prefer this version. I think it's the tuning of the guitars and pitch of Rob Thomas's voice that helps this version win my preference. I just feel more of an emotional connection.
I have a couple anxiety issues, mostly because of Hypochondria, so I have a few "unwell" moments. So I thank God for the true friends I have that stand by me even when I'm unwell, and amazing music to listen to, to keep my mind off of it :)
Me too.. It's great to see such openess... rare these days. Thank You for sharing your feelings.. It reminds us others that feel the same way, that we truely are not alone in that. I hope you feel better soon.
Awesone. I am felling unwell today. all sort of bad things are happenng with me, and before you think , i am not a bad guy. This songs helps me to pass the day. Thank you matchbox 20.
he speaks directly to the man imprisoned inside my mind he really understands our boundarys we are the beginning of real life superheroes more aware and open to feelings from one extreme to the other
This tine so reminds me of an Ex. Bipolar and with substance abuse issues. l didn't find it untill we were long over, but it sure helped when l sang it with such rage and pain, the release was unreal. ln my head, it was sang to me by him, and indeed l stopped caring and internalizing his crap. lt can be amazing to no longer give a damn.
Just read your comment. We are all responsible for our own actions. If someone wants to use their previous experiences as an excuse that's just lame in my opinion. Plenty of people are unwell and yet they don't substance abuse nor break any laws because at the end of the day if you have a conscience you know what is right and or wrong.
The original reminds me of dealing with the absence of my sweetheart (still best friend now) in sixth grade since she transferred schools. I was so depressed, but I managed to get back up, and after a bit of struggling, I’m almost back to the top. Would say the rest, but it’s a long story. But the story of the two of us is really sweet, and I still love her like she’s my girlfriend. But I have to say, this is nice to fall asleep to
This is me and my exes favorite song. Kinda keeps me sane thinking about the lyrics. Thinking about how when we both get a bit better we're gonna get back together and look back at the silly little things that drove us mad... 3
Spent time with my Taylor learning this version... It's a peculiar step down too... south of "Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb" by like 31.5 cents. Someone below asked for the strum pattern... The chords are the same as the album/full version, but with the strings a little slack, you can get really expressive and percussive with your attack. I learned it the way Kyle (assuming he's playing, but Rob can solo this) does it in this recording, but have reinvented my own version a bunch of times. It's part of the fun.
I can relate too much to this song. I’m feeling very hopeless to live since May of 2019. My mental problem/illness has been getting more insane and I just can’t control myself. I’m literally not being me
Has anybody heard the acoustic version of "How Far We've Come"?.. I heard it once on the radio years ago and can't find it. It's really slow and beautiful.
Not sure if you'll see this since it's been quite a bit since you posted this comment but I believe maybe the acoustic version you're talking about is actually an acoustic cover of the song by Boyce Avenue. Hope you see this.
Thomas lazore comment should be top comment 4 ever it made me cry.im writing it down 2 tell heartless people before I sing it. I better b 2nd comment......
