Sasha Sloan - Older (Official Video) 

She made the video with her best moments and the song with her sad memories 🖤

My favorite lyric is *“My parents aren’t heroes, they’re just like me”* because they’re just as confused as you are about how the world works; they just do a better job at hiding it.

She's the voice of the kids that can't talk to anyone about their family problems

My brother has passed away three days ago due to cancer at the age age 21 . We are children of divorce so you have no idea how much your songs mean to us . Older the acoustic version was the last song he listened to . He told me before he's gone that he can't get the acoustic version out of his head . Older is very special for me and for him . Thank you Sasha for touching his soul . You could understand us better than the people who surround us . Now when I listen to your songs I'm gonna remember not only our dark past . But also I'm gonna remember him . " I swore I'll never be like them But I was just a kid back then " Rip Hadi ❤

My grandmother once told me that maturity doesn't come in the form of age or intellect, but accepting truth and finding the best way to handle it.

"I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole another family. Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine." Soo triggering. 😔

Is anybody going to talk about how she is really pretty when she was little and how her smile is like happiness on a person :)

“I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy. I used to close my eyes and pray for another family”. This is so relatable growing up, I did the same. I’m turning 22 and till this day I still wonder why I wasn’t born into a happier family.

Not all families are happy. The kids don’t wanna talk about their family problems and in school they are happy because some have friends and they also have their classmates who secretly go through the same thing. Though school is boring, you can’t lie that that’s the place where you are happy with your classmates but some can’t relate.

*my parents aren’t hero’s, there just like me* damn that was deep..

*"And loving is hard. It don't always work. You just try your best not to get hurt. I used to be mad but now I know, sometimes it's better to let someone go".*

I’m leaving here every time somebody likes this I will get reminded in a year or a month

this is the reality of many

I cry every time I hear this song. It’s so beautiful “The older I get, the more that I see. My parents aren’t hero’s, they’re just like me” This hit me so hard

Guys just admit it, the whole song hit us hard..

I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole another family. This song still gives my goosebumps whenever I hear it.

I hate hearing stories of people explaining they’re happy family stories, with me having to hold back my tears. But I have to be happy for them.

Unfortunately... She was born in a family where her parents got divorced when she was just 3..they again married for the second time when she was 10and got divorced once again when she got 17... Actually she is pouring her pain out through this song. 😓😓😓

“I swore I’d never be like them, it I was just a kid back then” and I used to close my eyes and wish for another family💧” it hits to hard

I've only discovered this song now. I feel like I find myself perfectly in it. My parents kept arguing, they were going to divorce but eventually my mother left us and moved in with someone else, leaving us only with my dad who is mostly away at work. It's super hard for me, I have to take care of absolutely everything. I cry and I consider them guilty for my suffering, but I don't even know what to believe anymore. I miss my old family and I'm even worse off when I think it's not going to be the same.

*"BUT I WAS JUST A KID BACK THEN"* :") I FEEL THAT..

This actually made me cry because it reminded me so much of my childhood.

This song conveys that no one is perfect...

It's sad to think how happy and energetic we were when we were new to this world. Then, this reality hit us hard, and some of us changed for the worst

*_I wish all the people who are going through a bad time, and you feel identified with this song, find the happiness and peace that you need and deserve. really. I hope all your problems are solved soon ._* 🖤✨

I literally cry every time I hear this song, it just hits so hard

I have a bad relationship with my dad and the lyrics “I used to be mad, but now I know, sometimes it’s better to let someone go” hit hard for me

Sometimes our parents think all we need is just money, so they work so hard. Little they know, we just need their time, time to talk, time to spend together, time to know each other better. Their time is all we need, their time is our happiness..

We tend to forget to acknowledge that our parents are mere humans. They make a lot of errors. They fail to make good examples for you. They teach you the do's and don'ts. They are not perfect nor heroes. But they are the reason you are reading this right now. As im writing this while listening to the song i've shed tears, wetting my pillow. I'm so fucking greatful to be alive. I accept that they are awful at times. But love always comes with a price. I'm grateful that I'm 17 and still breathing. I'm grateful that i didn't kill myself years back. And you should too. Hearts to all people in the comments

The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets, The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears, And the kindest hearts have felt the most pain

I can remember a time my parents got into an argument when I was around 7 so my sister picked me up and I slept at her place that night. I got a call from my dad, he was at a hotel. He said everything was fine and that he loves me. I was confused and had no idea what had happened. My parents are still together but I know they aren't happy. It's also rough because they weren't like that before I was born. When my siblings were younger, they still loved each other, they would kiss each other goodmorning and goodbye. Now they don't acknowledge each others presence. Growing up with parents who don't love each other isn't fun, I feel like I will end up just like them. But they love me and I have both of them in my life. I'm lucky they love me as much as they do. I just wish they would love each other too.

My dad is cheating on my mom, my mom is in depression and they never get along but are still married and everyday is a torture so I relate to this song a little too much

_“I_ _used_ _to_ _be_ _mad,_ _but_ _now_ _I_ _know._ _Sometimes_ _it_ _better_ _to_ _let_ _someone_ _go.”_ Every part of the lyrics was so life relatable. Those lyrics will really hit us and we couldn't escape it co'z it's true.

*That bitter feeling when you know that songs relates to you too much than it should...*

I wish I had videos of myself when I was much smaller...

2023… and I’m still here. I can’t get enough of this song. Thank you so much for speaking out for me through your voice, Sasha

"We're just suicidal people telling other suicidal people that it's not the answer" - Unknown

"I use to close my eyes and pray for a home not a family." this hits me so harddddd arghhh.

This song is so fucking relatable, damn I've turned 13 yesterday, and I'm just stunned at how true songs can be... I hope you keep inspiring us just like this, Sasha.

I used to believe that it wasn’t normal to have parents that fight and swear at me and fight right in front of me, but as I grew I realized I wasn’t the only one dealing with that and it doesn’t make it less painful but it helps to know that you aren’t the only one.

Can't understand why lil pump is more famous than this

"I used to shut my door, while my mother screamed in the kitchen. I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen." Hit hard :/

“And loving is hard , it don’t always work.” “Sometimes it’s better to let someone go.” It hits me hard...

Who's listening to this 2024 hands up ❤

....People who are ACTUALLY depressed...They're the ones who don't always just brag about them being sad for example. Some people just say: "OMG MY PARENTS TOOK MY PHONE Now I'm totally depressed" "Ugh I'm grounded I'm so depressed" It just pisses me off how fake they can make depression seem like. Now days if I tell anyone how sad am I they'll just say I'm looking for attention. Haha...If they knew anything about me. Thanks for 2 likes. It may be small but I'm still grateful.

my mom and i had a talk in the car and this song was playing and i explained the lyrics and i started to cry bc when you get older you really do realize that the things that happened in our childhoods thats just how life goes it hurts to know we cant go back but we can move foward . my mom and step-dad always fought and when i was younger i wished that someday he would change but now i realize wishes dont come true but as a kid from a dysfunctional family i can say that lie gets better bc noting lasts forever whether its good or bad everything eventually comes to an end. dont give up because although life is hard your not alone keep pushing and trust me it will be worth it. your life has a meaning and your past and your families mistakes do not define you.♥︎

little girl: what’s on your arm? me: they’re battle scars. little girl: you fought in a war? me: yeah. a long and hard one. little girl: that’s so cool! can i get one? me: no. please do not ever get any. but i’ll tell you what. whenever you see someone else with battle scars, i want you to hug them. okay? can you promise me? little girl: yes. i promise. a few days later we went on a short shopping spree. suddenly the little girl let go of my hand and ran up to another random teenager teen: why are you hugging me? little girl: because.. (*points*) you have battle scars just like my babysitter. the teen looked up at me, and i rolled up my sleeves to show her. with tears in her eyes, she said one thing to me.. teen: my war is far from being finished right now, but i am not done fighting. she bends down at eye level with the little girl teen: thanks for giving me the strength to keep . you are forever my war hero. ⚠️ this is not my story, but i saw it somewhere else and decided to share it too because i want you to do the same to anyone with “battle scars” ⚠️

im 18 and i truly feel this song. the world hits diffrent when u get older when u are a kid its easy to say "yeah when i grow up i will be a perfect person"

I’m never getting tired of listening to this song

It hurts to see kids so young and lying to themselves that they're alright, because they think it's normal. I was that kind of kid.

mood? Sad. life? Bad. friends? Fake. hotel? Trivago.

Sasha sloan deserves Grammy she is better than those clowns who are winning

When people tell me “you’re just a kid, you wouldn’t understand.” Now, I know why. But I found out that they knew just as much as me about how the world works.

I used to shut my door while my mother screamed in the kitchen I'd turn the music up, get high and try not to listen To every little fight, 'cause neither one was right I swore I'd never be like them But I was just a kid back then The older I get the more that I see My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me And loving is hard, it don't always work You just try your best not to get hurt I used to be mad but now I know Sometimes it's better to let someone go It just hadn't hit me yet The older I get I used to wonder why, why they could never be happy I used to close my eyes and pray for a whole 'nother family Where everything was fine, one that felt like mine I swore I'd never be like them But I was just a kid back then The older I get the more that I see My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me And loving is hard, it don't always work You just try your best not to get hurt I used to be mad but now I know Sometimes it's better to let someone go It just hadn't hit me yet The older I get The older I get the more that I see My parents aren't heroes, they're just like me And loving is hard, it don't always work You just try your best not to get hurt I used to be mad but now I know Sometimes it's better to let someone go It just hadn't hit me yet The older I get.

Peoples in 2017: Person1: i'm depressed Person2: it's gonna be ok ! People in 2020: Person1: i'm depressed Person2: me too

gosh it makes me cry even though I didn't have any childhood drama I can't imagine how hard this song hits someone with unhappy childhood

I've known you since "This Town".And have fallen in love with your voice since then. You deserve more recognition!!!

this song totally hook me up. Now i can't stop listening to this

teacher: spell underrated Me: S-A-S-H-A S-L-O-A-N

"The older i get...the more that I see...my parents aren't heros...they are just like me..." This lines hit me very hard...🥺

Do not listen to this when you're away from your family :( I'm crying :(

Some kids are just lucky to be born into a wealthy family to capture beautiful moments but others didn’t have anyone to do that Edit: Thank you guys for all the stories, advice and anything. I feel you. I know what I’m saying, because I was born from a non wealthy family, until one time when I was in 6th grade my Dad finally had his business great. We went from a tiny rent house, living together with my Dad’s daughter, live in the warehouse where my Dad work for his Boss, until we have our own House and everything starting to be alright. But one thing I know for sure from poor people (not everyone of them) is their mindset and behavior. They’re not ready and didn’t have a plan for the future, so when something hits hard, they’re broke. That’s what happened in my family, when my Dad was having a great business, he cheated on my Mom. But then he came back, so my Mom who’s already broken hearted decided to divorced. Luckily my Mom’s parents (my grandparents) her family and even my Dad’s family were on my Mother’s side. So when our parents divorced they have us, they love us, and they care about us. Throughout the times, my Mother already forgive my Father but she said that she won’t back to him ever. Me and my 2 other siblings respect that. And now I’m in a college, trying to fix anything and build my own dinasty. Having a good education to form a great family. Trying to get us from this bad time. One thing I know for sure. *Money doesn’t always bring happiness, but with money happiness can be reach easier*

this song makes me cry.. my father took drugs. (he's getting help, so he stopped.) my mom takes drugs, she has been to jail many times. I remember when I found my father on the floor when he overdosed, it make me think how much stress they go trough everyday.

It bought me to tears every time I listen to this song. 😥

it's sad how i can relate to every word she's saying 😔🖤

I don't have any parent's problems but still, every time I hear this song I start crying hard she is just....not only she but everyone deserves a family that loves him and filled with peace.... I really can't believe in this young age she was praying for another family she is really...... I don't know I feel sad for her as if it was me who passed through all of this ......she is really a hero if I was in her place I assume that I won't make it until now.

this song hits hard, especially when you relate to it. all good things don't last. edit: ty for the likes, i appreciate it.

*I used to wonder why, why they could* *never be happy* *I used to close my eyes and pray for a* *whole another family* This had me crying , She is the best thing that happened to me in 2020

the 280 dislikes are probably aliens with no emotions.

Watching the video I just realized that I did have a good childhood, even when I prayed for a whole other family and my mother still screams in the kitchen. Thanks girl❤️ love your songs, they help me a lot. ❤️

My parents are literally arguing as I'm listening to this wow

I wish I had lived my childhood like this girl.😢

imagine raising kids that have sad memories for the rest of their lives because of you.. because of your bad choices!

About two years ago, my mother passed away. She died while i was on a vacation with my best friend. I don’t know what happened, I don’t know how she died. I never got a chance to hug her one last time, and say goodbye. About some days before the vacation we were listening to this song. She randomly started crying, but I didn’t know a lot about her life when she was little. I didn’t even know that my grandfather used to drink along with my uncle and start screaming at my grandmother and my mother at very late nights. Now that I’m *older* , I realized that.. Life is beautiful, yet so painful. I didn’t talk about her problems very often, ‘cause I was still little but she truly was my hero. I wish I become a good woman with such a great personality and a beautiful smile she kept for me and my sister, every single day of our lives. God bless you mom, for giving me the best memories you possibly could. I love you, dear mother, keep smiling up there, my angel ❤️. Be respectful to your parents and your beloved ones! Life is short, enjoy it while you can.. 💓

here I am 27th of May year 2020, yet I'm still crying with this song..

This is truly precious gift to every child who is trying to overcome family problems and trying to be satisfied with what it has.

I'm happy outside But i'm I'm stressed inside I'm depressed inside I'm lonely inside I'm sad inside It's hard to say and it's hard to hold

" my parents aren't heroes, they're just like me." so true.

You don't know how much I love this song. The lyrics relate to my life...so Every time I listen to this song, it makes me cry. And I love your voice. It's beautiful.

i don't understand why people don't like such an amazing song.

*"My parents aren't heroes they're just like me"* ☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹

I was listening to taylor and ended up listening to sad songs *crying at night*

This gives me Ed Sheeran vibes. You know, Photograph.

Growing up..honestly i was jealous of children who had their father for every events ..loving them hugging them...supporting them... n still i am...wish no one had to go through wht i've to..

This is 100% me , when they fight , I always put my headphones and put my favorite songs. When more years past , I more cried . The older I get the more crazy and cried .

This song is so relatable 😔 The “My parents aren’t hero’s, they’re just like me” hit me because my mom blames me for being stupid like my dad but I’m also half of her so she don’t understand me 😕 then “try my best not to get hurt” I became into a more Mature kid now but sometimes I wanna be a kid but so my mom makes me cry and I understand what’s she’s going through because if my Dad just listens then everything.. will be Happy.

its finally out ily sasha

My parents split up a few months back, got back together and then told my sisters and I they were for sure getting divorced. It’s been hard and this song is just so fucking relatable.

*"the older i get the morethan i see"* Yes yes YES.

I showed this to my sister right before I moved away and she almost cried as she asked what the song was called. She and I sadly relate to the beginning of the song. One day I hope we can be together away from our mother.

mrs. sloan!!! i love your mom she was my favorite teacher and also i love your music especially this song and chasing parties

You know what is more painful, families that are broken but not separated.

This is simply beautiful :) just nostalgic & pure

Idk how a stranger described my family life perfectly and how I view things now in every lyric thank u for reminding me I’m not the only one who has gone through this .❤️

“My parents aren’t heroes they’re just like me” It hits so hard cuz she really compared herself to her parents 💔💔😔

I love this song it touches my heart so much

Every time I hear this song, I cry, because it describes the situation I've been in for the past 5 months and on my birthday, the arguing wouldnt stop, and then the day after... my whole world crumbled.. they said they were gonna split up and my mum, sister and I would have to move house..

“loving is hard, it don’t always work. you just try your best, not to get hurt” hit me harder than i thought it would.

This song is beautiful in so many ways

Such an emotional and beautiful song 😢
