Jonny...I’m in rehab right now and listen to you every day. Your music gives me strength and reminds me I’m not alone. Thank you and hope you continue to make honest music for a long time. Take care brother
"These calloused hands built the foundation of my life" hands down one of my favourite lyrics in the whole song. Whichever hard times you've been through, this song is so relatable and you feel it down it your core. Thank you Jonny
you just brang me to tears, from you being in tears back in 2019, and its now 2022, you got me and my best mate just absolutely balling our eyes out. the dude loves me, and i love him
He has the most beautiful voice I think a man has ever had. The lyrics are more then spine tingling. Jonny Craig just so you know, you have literally saved lives. At least one I know for sure. May you forever stay strong and continue to write music as beautiful as this. You are on this earth for a reason, and that is to help some people through some serious times in their life.
Nicely said. You couldn't have said it any better. We are all put on this Earth for a reason both you and me included the only problem is trying to figure it out what our our purpose is. Soon enough you'll find it and I hope you do just like I wish everyone will find purpose in life on this planet. Don't give up just keep pushing onward and never look back.
He inspired me for many years now to make music. Everyone has their own problems and this man as others give me the chance, the confidence and the start point to pursuit the dream to be a singer. Thanks for your words too. Greetings!
as someone said below... you can and are saving lives. I know that you've felt my struggle as I sit on my bed, 3am, shaking, sick, in pain from my bad decisions. I'm trying to turn my life around and don't think I'll get many more mulligans. the only thing keeping me sane right now and not choosing chemicals in an alley somewhere, is listening to this music and knowing things get better. thank you for that.
Tay Davies idk about the dude above, but if you’re asking me... I’ve been sober for 4 years if I make it to the 18th of this month... I have a good admin job, still with my wife and my kids, my kids have never seen me high (at least not they’ll remember), and we’re building a house... I was a junkie for a good 10 years. The last 4 have been some of the hardest without being able to numb my negative feelings, but also they’ve been the most rewarding. Life is pretty good right now. Thanks bro
I could go on and on about how Jonny has helped me in so many ways I honestly pray for him everyday that he finds peace and sobriety. The world needs this voice.
As a former Jonny Craig fanboy, yes. I've heard too much negative shit about him over the years. I eventually gave up on him after all that alleged girlfriend abuse situation came out? I honestly don't like the guy. But I SO want him to turn his shit around and just be a good dude. I know he has it in him. And his voice is seriously one in a million. And songs like this one heal my goddamn soul. (Saw him live once on the DGD 10 year "reunion" tour, actually held his hand while he was belting, I can't even remember the song. All I remember is it was amazing lol.) Idk. I just wanted to vent some shit. Jonny, if you read stupid random ass youtube comments, be a better dude! You have so many fans and too much talent to waste, man.
@@cidcrisisI saw them on that tour too! At the New Daisy in Memphis! Bekueve it or not, when we parked the car like 4 streets away, i swear to god we literally got out of our car & physically bumped into Will Swan & Jon Mess. So we introduced ourselves & said we had bud & asked if we could hang after the show & they said "sure". After that, we ran into Kurt Travis, who is the nicest dude EVER, & he also said we could hang out after the show (I also had a pretty female friend with me, never hurts). This is my favorite part of my favorite memory so be prepared: when they sang Uneasy Hearts at the end of the DGD set, Kurt GAVE ME THE MIC on the last "Holy shit" part & I literally got to sing along with Kurt, Jonny, Tilian & everyone else while they acknowledged my existence & I just can't even put into words what that was like. After so many years of dreaming of singing for DGD one day, I was doing it. For an entire chorus too! It was just unreal. Anyways, after the show, we found Kurt & he led us to the back where the buses were. First we stood in a circle with Kurt, Shayley Bourget, & Matt Mingus passing a bowl around. Then we ended up hanging out on the bus with all of DGD & Jonny until they had to leave at 4am! Do you remember the badass jacket Jonny wore in The Lives We Live video? I wore that mfer. For the record, Will Swan & Matt Mingus are the only ones who smoke bud in DGD. Everyone else just drank. Anywhere, we hung out watching HGTV until 4am when they HAD to leave. Oh, & during the merch meet & greet part, Jonny stood on a chair & said "WHO WANTS A FUCKIN KISS" & my totally straight ass raised my hand & this mfer straight up kissed me on the lips in front of every pissed off chick in the building. I've never kissed a dude & never would again but that was an exception lmao. He also signed my Routine Breathing cd. It was just an insane night full of insane things I never thought would or could happen. Every band was amazing, everyone was nice except for Tim, he wanted nothing to do with fans & kept earbuds in the entire night lol. RIP btw. Other than meeting Claudio Sanchez, that will forever be my greatest concert memory. I mean it was just such a crazy night.
I have gone through a lot in my life and I have been alone through all of it and he keeps me in line with his music I can relate just wanna say thanks bud you do you don't worry bout the world
This song gives me purpose to live and to face Death when my time comes. Only time will determine that and I will have to keep living day by day with my head held high and make things better and not worse.
This is my safe haven Or sanctuary the only time I don't wish for death because my attention has been taking away from it until the song ends. And its off to replay.
My heart. Yes. You may have it too. I can hear you vocalizing for it. Here. TAKE IT. YOU CAN HAVE THE WHOLE THING. OH NOOO I DON'T NEED IT ANYMORE. NOT EVEN SURE IF I NEEDED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. TAKE IT!
The farther I go, the further you get away from who we really are I choose a different route, a different path in life Praised by many, yet still labeled an outcast The things that last never happen overnight These calloused hands built the foundation of my life Abandoned for love, left with no advice How quickly we change overnight Make me out to be the bad guy How long can I wear the blame? Sick of feeling wrong Why do they judge me all the same? Nobody's perfect, trying to justify myself to the ones who will never, never understand Who will never The things that last never happen overnight These calloused hands built the foundation of my life Abandoned for love, left with no advice How quickly we change overnight Torture myself, that's what I feel I'm worth Torture myself, well aware that the pain is somewhere else You can root for the villain, I'll take that title I'll take the heat now and be your rival The things that last never happen overnight These calloused hands built the foundation of my life Abandoned for love, left with no advice How quickly we change overnight
+Arran Grant O death where is your victory? Where is your sting? The grave has been swallowed in the resurrection of the Christ. The abyss of death has become a gift through Him.
