Can we all appreciate that all of us listening to this right now connect on a level that we might find a little difficult to express. I love RKS. I love all of you. Thank you for existing. Hope you find your call in this Universe.
LYRICS: Very lovely morning Try not to kill yourself today Think of all that you'd be missing Prescription made Painkillers Count your blessings early before the lot will hit the gates Winnings for the lucky living just takes Painkillers Living just comes with a bit of heartache Heartache comes with a bit of young faith Faith stays young till your heart get broken Hope grows up to become someday I never hurt no one and no one will ever hurt me I believe I believe I believe I believe Faith plays dumb till the doubts all leave I believe I believe I believe I believe Manna won't fall till the people all speak I believe I believe I believe I believe Canaan ain't far for the souls who barter their pain for sweet relief My queen won't feed on milk and honey She impartial to the summer sun She's a lone fire burning in the sand And a cold, lonely night without one She cocks her pistols 'fore she pops her collar Oh she's all but lethal pulling off that laser gun She's rips the halos off of angels for the fun of it If all she ever does is smile at you, run What'd ya need these for? Round here the cries die young Fly momma, fly to where you come Speak momma, round here the quiet die young Very lovely morning Don't kill yourself today Think of all that you'd be missing And don't you ever pay mind to that line in your way that says you'll ruin it You'll ruin this for everybody won't you Very lovely morning Try not to kill yourself today Think of all the things you'll be missing Prescription made Painkillers
found this song a few days ago, had so much anxiety about everything, and just broke down sobbing. if anyone is reading this, YOU ARE LOVED. you are worth more than life itself, and i'd rather hear your stories then have to tell them. you are so important. i haven't seen you, but you're beautiful. please don't hurt yourself, your skin tells a story, and one that should shared, not taken away.
Hey my friend! I have no idea about you, but I'm sure you're an amazing person just with what you wrote, even with all the flaws you believe you have about yourself (because the real monster is your own mind). know that you must have all the love you deserve and know that if you need help, you can call me. I will be happy to help you. kisses and take care. Obs: english isn't my first language.
It’s important to want to feel that way but Sometimes you just want the right people / person to say that about you , being 21 I already have a huge list of regrets and mistakes and just stupid shit that has made me better now but how much more will I make and for how long am I going to feel alone , a year after a breakup is tough or multiple ,and even if it wasnt healthy, just not having that person to look to for conversation or a smile , makes u feel like you’ll never have that again, doesn’t help not having everything a person is supposed to have either just makes u look broken not having a car or not hanging out with old hometown friends, just venting at this point
thank you, @moonjumpstudios4420 you just made me cry by just reading this i also subbed aswell have a good one even if i am american i am odd fellow or you could say an odd ball and idc whoever calls me a furry or any names cause they just want to be jerks so i just leave and not look back i just really wanna thank you a lot hope that we can be friends. have such such a wonderful god damn day may god be with you always.. (if you don't belive in god i am sorry for saying that)
Today I'm 10 months sober. Every day is a struggle. Been going through an especially hard time recently, depression and suicidal thoughts rearing its ugly head. When I listen to this song I just cry. So many emotions. But afterwards, it does fill me with some peace.. just to know Im not alone. So many others go through the same things. I needed this reminder today. Thanks RKS.
I showed my friend this song when they said that they were about to attempt, that night this song helped them stay, me and this "friend" are now happily dating, if it wasn't for this song I don't think I would of have calmed them down, this song helped them calm down so I was able to talk to them, without this song I wouldn't have my wonderful partner now
I'm not a therapist and I don't know your struggles but have compassion for those battling depression. I hope you can keep finding some peace. Music is definitely my therapy in life✌
January 16th, 2018, the day Fever Pitch was released, my cousin ended his life. He was the most musical person I’ve ever known. And so when Fever Pitch came out the same day as his passing, it felt as though the song were for him. For the music, if that makes any sense. As soon as I heard this song, I had to sit down and collect myself. One hand was over my mouth and the other over my heart. This is beautiful and it made me feel like Dakota was still here. I know this probably doesn’t make sense, but I’m still emotional. This is beautiful. Keep doing what you do. ❤️Fly high Dakota ❤️ Edit May 2018: thank you for the condolences and warm wishes. I appreciate them dearly. Please please please seek help if you or anyone you love seems to be falling into depression, anxiety, drugs, self harm, or anything else of that nature. We are all important to this world and we all deserve to keep going. If you liked this song, I highly suggest “all who remain” by beware of darkness. That song, along with this one, have been helping keep my cousin living through sound. Those songs keep me sane. ❤️
My daughter has CFS and recently overdosed. We never know what we lose till it happens to us. I'm so sorry for your loss. let's stop this happening to other families xxx
Emily Fritts ,makes all the sense in the world, beautiful, rks is a very special band, they're content and sound is different and amazing. I'm sorry about your brother :(
This song reminds me of my mother so much. Finally an artist that is creating work that touches on the topic of painkillers/pill addiction and the depression/ suicidal emotions that come with it. Thank you, Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
I'm at a very impossible moment in my life. I don't know what to do. I feel so small, so broken. Numb. This song really synchronized with me. You guys are amazing. Thank you
“Very lovely morning, don’t kill yourself today. Think of all that you’ll be missing.” RKS, thank you for writing those words. Some days, they are everything.
Me and the other patients in the psych ward played this when we were 14, 15 and 16. Now we’re 15,16,17 and all free from hospital for almost a year. So grateful for my best friends even if we met under the worst circumstance 💗
Who else avoided this song only because the title was a thorn in your very side? And then you clicked on it and allowed the sounds to ebb and flow throughout your mind. You felt something. You felt shame, you felt sadness, pain, connection. YOU FELT. You felt. Simply you felt, and that is the foundation of all our existence.
only a few people in my life know but I feel I can share this here. I've tried to OD about 5 times this year at the young age of 14. some days I'm thankful they didn't work and others all I wish was for it to have worked. RKS has helped me realize a lot about myself through their music and I'm truly thankful for that.
I did the exact same thing at 14 as well. It was a few years ago and i adopted a painkiller addiction. Ive had many more attempts after but if it worked out the way i wanted to i wouldnt be here. Clean, happy, about the be 25 with the person i've fell in love with at 15, and a baby on the way. Shit was fucked up and this world could be really fucked up, but im really glad it didnt pull through. I hope the same goes for you 💖
It only gets harder from here. Quit while you can. Once you reach a certain age, you don’t have a bunch to turn to other than the coping skills you’ve developed throughout this life.
Much love homie stay safe. Live life and fuck everyone else. You are the only one that matters. Stay safe 🙏 and try not to kill yourself today, think of all youd be missing!!......
Life is very heavy and confusing all in 1 very tiny dark Grey room when you're young and learning about the evils of the world and the fakeness in friendship and the gut wrenching guilt you randomly feel for no reason. Just know someone loves you and I've been there through and throughout on and off again. I'm back in right now and I'm 34 smh but I'll get through this just like I know u guys will too. We can all do it together ♡
i found out i've got arthritis in my spine at 24 and was put on painkillers that both gave me life back and took it away, this song resonates with me on so many levels. This band was my every night go to at work for 2 months straight; couldn't have a good night at work if i didn't start off with run or counting cards
There was a point in my life where I HAD to listen to this song first thing in the morning or I would have the worst day filled with self loathing. This band and this song mean the entire world to me and and it's the main reason I'm still here today.
This song has gotten me through so much. Like an affirmation I say to myself a reminder to keep pushing ive always loved how direct he is and it'll always feel lile a deep conversation with a friend I play this almost every few weeks sometimes on repeat sometimes everyday thank you for this from the bottom of my heart ❤️
very fresh kings of Leon feeling, from the early days, which is a blessing in itself. they have an amazing original sound. love the lead voice. my queen wont feed on milk and honey. ...
I've thought this too mate but didn't want to say it if someone was like nahh fuck off, glad it ain't just me, proper hear it in lady lie and cocaine Jesus too
As someone who did successfully get away, this line really hits home. For sure the worst days of my life... literally lived on Oxys and whiskey for a year straight. can’t even sing that line without my voice cracking.
@@fergieluver23 its a reference to drugs (specifically opiates), and for me i remember that first time and how harmless I thought it would be.. how it wasn’t that big of a deal if I did this on weekends only
Literally infiltrated and makes you HATE everything. When I quit I remember things I thought I loved was just the drugs. Literally had to relearn likes and hobbies and after about 6 months you start to pull out of it and realize it just covers up all your senses and emotions... until they all come flooding back.
I listen to this as i start my day and it feels so weird, even though i stop the song its still there stuck in my brain. I think of it whenever i talk to my friends, to my parents,just hanging out in general as if i'm trying to search for that drop of hope
This band got me through alot mentally i was addicted to painkillers for a while so bad the withdrawals where killing me (so it felt like it) I heard this song from a friend way before i got addicted. I remember one day i popped into my head during the withdrawals though it might not seem like a song to listen to while trying to get off it surely helped my mindset other songs from them as well. Love this band will forever be one of my favorites.
Been binging through RKS's music cause I just found and fell in love with them. This song was just a left hook to my brain... My father passed away almost exactly a year ago (5 days from now will be the one year mark) due to overdose on painkillers. We assume it was accidental, but this song hurts in just the right way. Gonna be coming back to this one a lot.
Biblically I believe Canaan was a beautiful city but it was filled with vile sin and greed. The Canaanites were idol worshipers and euphoria seekers. So I would say what the line is implicating is that the people who trade their pain away for these “painkillers” aren’t far from sinful practice and bad deeds if it means that they can get that euphoria or “sweet relief” but at the cost of becoming a better and stronger person, as going through pain is necessary for growth.
You guys are killing me with all these songs dribbling out! (Please don't stop...I can't wait for this album to drop!) Also, come to Austin and play! You'd kill here!
Today is national suicide prevention day...I remember when I used to sing this song every night in order to sleep....it has helped me through so much.....idk what you might be going through but I swear it gets better....I would be in the middle of crying and come across some random Yt comment that tells me its okay and that would push me a long way.....so you there don't stress over shit you can't control and like take life one step at a time Ik earth sucks big time but idk someday soon you will be happy you stayed ily so much 🎈🎈 Just look up the sky ....and you'll feel less alone....idk I read that somewhere.... You are so strong for keeping on fighting...❤️❤️if no one sees the lil things you do I do...and I am so proud of you love 🥺 This random stranger on the internet wishes you the best 🫂
I was obsessed with rks in 10th and my friend and I listened to them together all the time, she graduated last year and i graduated a semester early in December 23 instead of may 24 and I heard this song and I just miss high school so much looking back. I really recommend everyone makes the best of their high school years.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise hands my favorite new band I have come across since I would have to say MGMT and their Oracular Spectacular (I'm a bit older) and not as much music just grabs ahold of me and won't let go like it once did. I have have been listening to you for 3 years now when one day Cocaine Jesus popped up randomly. I am forever greatful it did!! The more I listened the better it got and still does!! I have watched many of my friends die from either accidental overdoses or depression caused by years of substance problems!! This song and all the rest just give reminds me why we are here and to be strong for the ones you love and who love you!! Thank you so much!! Hopefully will be seeing you in April in Omaha NE!!!
All of my friend group from back when we were in our 20’s except myself and 1 other have died from substance abuse. I am blessed to be withdrawing from painkillers right this minute. I have another chance. I thank God for that I just found this song and it really speaks to me ❤
Istg you make the best music in the world. I've never got so attached to a band, usually just liked 1 song and found the rest trash. You're different, some of your songs have this special vibe to me, some make me feel alive while dancing to them at 12pm with lights off, some make me feel the feeling I feel like I've never felt before and some just give me chills, please never leave
Good job brother. I’m sure that was a really rough time for you. As it would be for anyone. The way you handled it says everything about you. You made your significant other regurgitate then put music on for her. Hats off to you for having that level of composure. I hope all is well with you sir, good day.
i’m so happy that i came across this song in my spotify discover weekly. this song is one of the best songs i’ve heard in a while and it hits so close to home.
I have a playlist called the “Don’t Kill Yourself” playlist, this and Seven are two of my most often replayed songs. ♥️ thank you for getting me through
Do you guys remember playing in Jackson ms at duling hall 3-4 years ago? Started the addiction last I got too see you was last month In oxford at the lyric, can’t wait until I get too see you again even if. Have to go to hangout again too see y’all
i watched my mother attempt suicide five times, overdosing on sleeping pills. she hasn't attempted in two years. those memories still haunt me. i struggle with crippling suicidal thoughts, this song is the only thing keeping me going. i believe i might have developed a personality disorder as well ... undiagnosed sociopath. i hope it will get better. i need to learn to speak. to listen. to love. authentically. no matter how hard it gets, keep going.
I’ve been listening to Rainbow kitten Surprise forever, the day I see them LIVE my life will change, I can’t wait for that opportunity. I used to be hung up on older alt bands but this band definitely lives up to their greatness ;) ♥️🤍🖤♥️🤍🖤♥️
This song helped me through a couple particular days, and played in my mind when i saw the light and brought me to conscientious, i hope it will work one more ❤.
This is the first time I’ve heard this song. Had no idea what the lyrics were. Casually listening while reading them I randomly hear “try not to kill yourself today”. Was definitely not expecting it
What a world we live in, full of chaos and we're just along for the ride. Swim with the flow of the universe or you'll end up right where you were and that's no journey, which is all life can be so live it to the fullest.
this is silly, and I doubt anyone will see it.. but... anytime I want to kill myself, I think of this song. I don’t actually listen to it, but... it’s reassuring
you know i wanted to end myself but this song came on my play list and like a wave wiped away the thought thank you rks for making magical songs you guys are life savers
Well, for anyone who wanted to write THE epic song.... too LATE! there’s truly not enough hours in the day to listen to this band. I suggest a 30 hr. day/8 days in a week.. I would almost get enough.
I have never ever found a band that says everything I've ever felt, somone who understands my demons, why I cry late at night, the only people who can express the way I feel so very often, a feeling that is often too familiar
My gf loved this band this song makes me sob reminding me of her she sadly killed herself with fentanyl she was one in million and this songs remind me of how amazing she was
I'm currently crying to this because I can't eat, I keep throwing up, I want it to all stop, I want everything to stop, i want me to stop, I really do hope I get through this like the others in the comments!
Man I’m so depressed I can’t sleep anymore my heart feels like it’s about to explode out of my chest every night it’s so loud it keeps me up. Hard because I have kids and responsibilities I’m so exhausted. Death is looming.
this song strikes a chord with me...I take kratom nowadays I don't know that it's good for you either but it's surely better than chasing pills and spending paychecks on them...I love when it lands the little rap section of it where it the tempo picks up and gets groovy I like it alot..love from the foothills o TN ☺️✌️you guys made my day thank you for your musical contribution 🌈 🐈 surprise
I'm trying my hardest not to press my off button vros. There are people that depend on me, but life is hard, so here's to hoping it does eventually get better for all of us.
A lot of people probably feel this song in so many different ways. Believe me when I say that I’ve tried offing myself quite a few times, listening to this song just so I have a chance of a little peace before I go.
this is my song. like your describing me neechies,,,, and i think its ruddy brilliant and not sad at all!!! I would hurt myself pulling out my laser gun.... how did u know? i love you RKS thank you for existing.....
Looking at the comments to avoid the emotions that come with this song, then when there are no more comments you are left alone with the thoughts that this song gives off, and im reminded of my friend who killed himself while on his prescription pills, and then my other friend who is still alive, but lives far away slowly killing himself by burning bridges and drinking his problems away while smoking weed, doing cocaine and xanax, and reminded of the night i had to check his pulse ever 7 minutes, it kills every fiber of my being but i know if i forced rehab on him he would just go back to drugs
