The Glorious Sons - S.O.S. (Sawed Off Shotgun) [Official Video] 

I'm so sorry you lost your dad. May you forever keep that amazing memory, and yes.... sing your lungs out everytime this is on!!! Sending love ♡

You're dad sounds like he was awesome! Sorry for your loss, its weird losing parents. That's a great memory tho, total badassery. Happy Holidays to you and yours :)

😥

I'm truly sorry for your loss. Your dad sounds like he was an amazing man! May he rest in peace and may he forever reside in your soul!

I listen to this song in Texas

Hey how you doin man

💝

Praying you made a full year

Won't work brother, dig deeper, fight harder. Time is fleeting

Congrats!!!

10000000 procent respect Mr. 👏💯💪. Iam proud of you, even I don't now you, iam very happy for you. Me my self I have a bit problem with alcohol.. 😪. But I will fight 😊. Greetings to you, stay well✌️🍀

Yeah right

How you doing now? I hope great :)

2 years on March 25th. Not bad for a once hopeless burned-out junkie. We do recover.

Yeah, 2 months and I wish I could say the same.

Congrats man your daughter deserves it. I love my daughters and would do anything for them also.

I am too and lost my husband to suicide 5 mo ago 😢 he did exactly how the song explains

Hell of an eye opener but congrats! I'm on every other part of this song! Guess the Oxy is next

That hit me hard.

Good for you going back to school, I followed the other route. Totally capable and won’t pay me cuz lack of degre, got 5 years on job experience tho lol. Fucking stupid, college graduates are useless. Donno what they text at college but it doesn’t seem to apply to jobs. Ur either good or ur not. No inbetween

Congratulations on your 5 years and all of your accomplishments, my 4 year clean date is coming up in a week, this song has reminded me of liberation when I'm feeling nihilistic about life and society, it's nice to know there are other folks who found an attachment to it who have been down the same road... i have all these memories of things I did as an addict that also make my own skin crawl but it does get better doesn't it... I operate my own gardening business now and make art with my down time...I just give my artworks away because I'm not struggling to survive anymore...and I figure it's a gift given to me so I should give back in ways I know how to, and since most of the people I wish to make amends to are dead I figure why not make beauty and just gift it away to others who are still here... I'm doing it all for my dead friends, wife, and girlfriend anyhow...may as well show em their love mattered...if drugs didn't get them suicide did, so I made a vow to try and make people's lives around me better than it was when I found them... I have called abandoned buildings, burned out cars, patches of woods in parks, and the undersides of highway ramps home all across the USA... I don't need a lot to be happy, I just want a moment or two of redemption after taking so much for so long, and taking so much for granted. Keep moving forward friend, maybe I will see ya on the other side one day. ✌️

Good for you, it always makes me happy to hear that a fellow addict is not only surviving, but thriving. Since posting this 10 months ago, I got my first job working as a therapist with a specialization in drug/alcohol treatment.

Hello tailor time.. I am so soo sorry for you, that your dad passed over.. 🙏😢😭. I am crying because I fear to lose my parents, when they are gone, I have no one again. Thanks a lot for your peaceful wishing, I whish the same to you. 🤗. 100procent power and keep on rocking 💪🤘☺️💯. Greetings from Germany. By the way... This song is my favorite.. 😊

I'm so sorry about your dad Taylor, and thank you for encouragement 🤘

@@FlowerPowerRockGirl I feel THE EXACT SAME. 💓

riiiighteous

I was at this show in Toronto... and going to see them tomorrow and Saturday at Massey HALL cant wait

Almost all there songs r great that singer tou,!!!

I know :(

Power to you man.

I'm in this life right now, minus the drugs and I don't think I need mental help, I just need everything to stop turning to shit so I can start making the right choices. Until then I'm just a thief who can't make it any other way.

@Eli some unsolicited advice from someone that was in your exact position...you HAVE to remove yourself from where you are as soon as possible. Take a bus 1000 miles away. Stay in shelters or ymca if you have to...somewhere (preferably rural not a city) and stay there for as long as possible...or, if you can...go to a Methadone clinic. I know it's just a substitute...but I was on it for 10 years (almost)...actually still on it ....the only time my life was manageable has been when I have been on methadone....the same thing doesn't work for everyone. But going to the methadone clinic was the best choice i have made in 20+ years...good luck man. And do whatever you can to stop hard street drugs...so much shit now has fentanayl and I have had so many close friends die in the past couple years. (And many people even before that) but I'm talking about veteran long term users with high tolerances. It's crazy out there now...at the very least, get yourself some narcan...(it is given out free almost everywhere now) and don't use alone...always have someone with you to shoot you with narcan if you fish out....good luck man.

@Eli I'm sorry. I misread. I didn't see you say, minus the drugs...just keep your head up. Keep trying. And try to do whatever you can to change your situation. If I can do it...anyone can do it

@@justinkoeberl5797 I live in a rural area and it's why I have become a thief. There ain't no fucking jobs out in this goddamn godforsaken wasteland. I can't pay the rent any other way. During the summer it's pretty bad but during the winter I'm more vicious, more dangerous. I turn into something that is not good at all during the winter man. I get to a dark place where I'd probably kill if it was my freedom or jail.

Keep rocking

Definitely. Like I said it's like the rock anthems that we came up on. I'm a year older than you

Whipper snappers wanna get post in rocknroll and drift away

Well you must be an idiot to think it ever left.

How is this a rebel spirit? It’s a cry for help

mitchellk272 I was at this concert. It was awesome 👍👍

If you don't have your phone out, you're going to forget most of what happened and be unable to relive it.

Man fr can't believe hadn't heard it before the pew view short

💛🖤 good job mate stay strong

Good shit man 👊

Great to hear. I’m about to fight the battle myself.

@@damonwest939 I believe in you 💜

@@damonwest939 you got this buddy, it's a hell of a road at the start. but dont give up and stay strong dude

Canada isn't known for rock music 🤣 you got hockey socialism and free health care

I saw them a few weeks ago and they were amazing. Also, I'm extremely jealous of seeing a show at Red Rocks :(

Kaleo was pretty incredible too!

Make sure you watch their “live at longboat hall” unplugged concert on RU-vid, breathtaking performance.

Right. Like The Day That I Die also

I’m upper middle and love it. Don’t judge. :)

@@BFreyman845 boomers gonna boom

Anthem(s) So many of their tunes refer to mental anguish and angst. In an interview Brett talks about how much therapy he gets from writing songs like he does.

@@elliottsmiles170 Middle class people got their problems too. There's enough credit card debt and scripted pills floating around to do one under. Difference between lower and upper, is that one group has to fight for their methods of self destruction, the other will have it handed to them by bankers and head shrinks.

@@rogerhickson7256 anthems because so many relate to it

Yes!

We’re sorry that we may have/have-not done and/or said something that made you lose faith in us.

@@Psychonaut316 You know what you do

Cool story brahhhhhh ...! I mean fairy tale story

I always have held Canadians in the highest regard

Sorry you felt that way.

Ya man, & it's almost like everyone's missing the message for the catchy anthemic wailing..

Well you could look at it from two different points of view, is this speaking to encourage giving up, and buying a shot gun? Or is it commentary on the opioid problem that is killing so many young people. We did drugs when we where young in the sixties and seventies, nobody I know died of overdoes.

They usually died of traffic accidents cause by inexperience and or impairment while driving.

Literally in my car SCREAMING THE FUCKING CHORUS

M. Bax yes I’d say it’s small town USA in a song

duhhhh yeah..

me too brother me too long live the glorious sons!

Prayers my brother

These guys r so great ❤️

Keep going! I'm abt 3 weeks clean :]

@@e11ieez._ so proud of you !

I got 0 ha

you are amazing

Proud of you. Live a good life and be happy! :)

I'm 53, was thinking the exact same thing.

Stay Strong

Can you read this or did you tube shut me down, please let me know and keep your head up

It gets better. Keep up the fight! One day or even one second at a time! You will still have hits but you can hit back so much harder sober! Sending hugs and love Fellow Warrior

It's been 16 years since I had my last drink. Now, I can't speak for other people, but for me, it's been fairly easy. The hardest part was keeping my distance from my friends who were a bad influence. I'm not blaming my friends. Everything you do in life is your decision. But when you hang around with people who don't give two shíṭs about your wellbeing,,,, you need new friends. I've been offered many drinks over the years. Saying no isn't hard when people respect your decisions. I just politely say " No thank you, I don't drink anymore." If your friends say things like "One drink won't kill you." Or "Don't be a party proper." Yeah, sorry, you need new friends. It's nice to wake up in the morning without feeling hung over. It's nice not having the shakes at 3 in the afternoon. It's nice not worrying about getting home after a night out. It's nice not spending my entire paycheck on booze. Most of all, it's nice to have friends and family who respect your decisions.

I BOUGHT A SAWED OFF SHOTGUN Me. Same duddddde

That is so fuckin true!!

@@lacymandarino6437 what’s a sawed off shotgun

Those words are the reason I got off depression/anxiety meds after 10 years. I now have short term memory loss, am easily angered, and everyday is a struggle. It's hard, even when I have a family who loves me. I'm getting better everyday but it's a life long battle. I'll take the struggle over being numb and apathetic.

@@volkoff6357 Stay strong friend I've been there and I get better

Mrs. Messer that's hilarious.

Weird that cops hate people struggling.cold blooded asshats.

Retired cop here and love it

I'm in between at 31. How'd it go?

Pepe Silvia They’re better live than on record if you can believe it! Have seen them twice now

Lol. It's like the first modern rock anthem I've heard in a very long time

That's good parenting right there! 👍

Mawkus Wilhelm true

Great post....I think many people can relate to these lyrics, I know I sure can. Like you said, its catchy and upbeat but underneath it is dark and rough just like life

@dani cali Are you just going to bitch out every comment in here? Get a life.

Typical fucking idiot! If you'd bother to read my post I said "people" as in, not me. You moronic troll. Obviously it's cathartic, as was stated in my post. You are so ready to pull the trigger and yet, you don't have a clue to what you are aiming at. Eat shit!

Because this Canadian band knows your country well.

I didn't say they did.. I said it's relatable to Americans. Ppl can write songs from all over the world and it can relate to anyone anywhere.

This band and The Hip are both from Kingston, Ontario. There's something in the water in that city.

That’s very familiar.

God Bless you Nikki.🙏❤️

Congrats to you on everything you have accomplished in life & having a baby very very soon. I myself last yr was doing any pills I could get my hands & was doing heroin for about 5 months 2 a week get my package than I OD did it a few more time and stopped stuck to my oxy's mostly 40"s than stopped them only had perks left so I continue to do mind you I do have lower back pain so they help not like I'm getting the high anymore like once upon a time. Sometimes I still think about doing what I used to do with pills but kind of lost my connection??

Stay focused, stay strong…..

CONGRATS JULIANNE THX YOU FOR YOU'RE MESSAGE OF EXPERIENCE STRENGTH AND HOPE AND LIKE 👍 YOURSELF I'M ALSO IN RECOVERY GOOD JOB 👍 KEEP UP ☝ THE GREAT 👍 WRK !!!

please join our FaceBook fan group !!

For sure. Great group of people. Hope to meet up with some of you, in Nashville.

Hello from TX and that's great news

Keep it up I had 10 years of that crap n 1.5 years clean it's possible

Awesome

Nice

Proud of u. I need to get there.

Life is about enduring struggle, my prayers go out to you for all that you’ve gone through and the struggle you will endure and win.

I know the pain.. I will be celebrating 3 years clean in May. Good luck to you!!

I've lost my daughter, her dad, my brother, my cousins. My grandkids all 5 are doing great. 3 Don't know what an amazing mom they had. I'm allergic to pain meds so that I couldn't do. Glad some of the crap was never around when I was a kid. I was accused of doing drugs by dss. UAs show I'm clean. I need that info for myself to frame it. Anyway, they took my grandkids bc they say I've let myself go, that I need to find myself. They say they are afraid I'm going to go out like my daughter did. I say to them why did you take my kids then bc that's how your friends benefit off them. They are my whole life. Kids are not commodities, they are human beings. These days I'm alive in spite of the system. Life's tough but so are you. Take life straight. No chaser.

I dont know you, nor do you know me, but while i agred with you on the lyrics i still say you should get some help. I have an older family member who feels much the same and I just... Anyway. Please consider it. Be well, friend. I wish you only the best.

@@aguyuno Thank you for responding. I've been forced to get help before and it just hasn't worked for me. One day my mom called out of the blue and apologized for not being there during my childhood, she was trying to protect herself which I understood. My biggest regret is that when my dad died he woke up enough to know I was there and knew this was it for him, I was there my my sisters and mom not for him, and I didn't tell him to fuck off. I did it for them. The line about getting hooked on Oxy is so powerful because for a time I was. I hated that this was making me feel good and that none of it was from me. I've already decided that when I hit 70 that'll be the time to go. I have enough will power to make it till then but that's it. I wish I had the guts to tell my sisters and let them hear the song under my context but I know they would fight me. Anyway it's a great song that has touched me in a place I thought had died. Thank you for letting me "live" for a little bit each day. I'll never delete it or have it not on my main playlist.

@@sartan232 Play it for your sisters. They might fight you but they will at least have a chance to understand you. I am so sorry life has gone this way, friend. Be well.

Stay strong! People who don't even know you, love you.

This song touched me because my brother died of an overdose. Addiction gallopes wild and free in my family because of mental illness. I'm struggling at the moment, I'm also in my 50's, and have been trying to deal and put up a positive front for a long time. I'm tired and sick..

Oh hell yeah

Sorry Mercedes guy stuck in your head like you need a fancy car Idiot

You got this, amigo.

Best wishes!

In the same boat up shits creek without a paddle.

@@judybonadore7699 hang in there. Best wishes.

@@AlyssaQ420 you 2. Thank you

Fight the good fight Alyssa.....one year clean for me.

Just fucking do it stop making excuses

It was for me bro!! I was there too 😅lmao ✊🧚✨🇨🇦YA IT WAS SO AWESOME🫶🫶🫶Thanks for the tickets Uncle Joe ✊🧚🥰your the BEST!!!

Self destruction will always be romantic..... because it is.

stop riding motorcycles

I hear you @MikeAnderson-uj3oo - that stuff is no joke. Trust me, you aren’t alone bro 🤙✌️

i was involved in a head on collision the beginning of this year, no seat belt and shitty brakes which is all my fault of course. there shouldn't be anyway im alive myself. With the way my life has been before that and certainly the pain i am in all day everyday doesn't seem to help my will to be here anymore. the law is about to throw the book at me for other things starting tomorrow and its all my fault. i can say others dipped there finger in the pie but i baked it for sure. i hope you find some meaning in your life for both of sakes and you can come back and tell me you are doing better at least. have a good one man

Oxy caused the overdose life flight caused the Brain injury antibiotics caused the death everything that helps hurts

Besides hockey one of the best things that have come out of Canada in a long long time!!! Bobby J Pt. Charlotte Florida keep it up boys ahey !!!!

legit. That's good bro. keep going.

🎉🎉

you got me beat

An hour later.....🍷

Than you can do it for the first time in a while and move to 🇬🇧

Good job! One day at a time. You can do it!

YOU GOT THIS. IT IS SO AMAZING NOT HAVING TO HAVE A DRUG TO FEEL OK!!! I KICKED OPIATES YEARS AGO. I AM NOT SCREAMING AT YOU. I AM PROUD. KEEP IT UP! An antidepressant is always a good Idea because your brain chemistry is screwed Wellbutrin works on 3 different brain chemicals. I use it. Try, try, try. If you were to ever fall get back up and kick again. I love you and I am proud of you. You got this!!!

@@dixonhill1108 thats cool,The sound reminds me of the late 80s early 90s.. It can mean anything
