The song of my recovery. Went from a homeless heroin addict in denver to a recovering addict in orange county, California. Pray for me family much love to all
Glad you're doing well. Sometimes it's almost a superhuman feat to come back from that kind of struggle. I've walked the same road, the guy who wrote this song did too.
Y'all got so many people sober, you don't even know what this track did for an entire community of people. Thanks for the light guys, we needed it and we heeded it. Much love. My anniversary is in a few months and my tears in the shower alone turned into celebration tears with people I love. We do recover.
I first heard this song this week on Sunday at the StrangeCreek festival in Massachusetts. For years I have been struggling with severe major depressive dissorder, PTSD, and severe social anxiety. I was in the middle of the crowd when Twiddle started playing this song and halfway through I just stopped dancing, sat down and bawled hysterically. This song broke me and I love these guys for it. I really needed something to help convince me to move on, and hope that something better will come along. I was ready to give up once I got back home from the Festival. This song alone has helped me believe that I can be better. Bless you all for this song, I hope more are inspired to turn around and live a better life from this. Thank you so much!
I was there as well!!!! I was sleeping in my lawn chair bumming than woke up too this song. I as well have sa and ptsd etc and this song resignated so deep the words hit home!. Ilu friend. X3
Man this song is the only thing that made me feel better when I was detoxing from fentanyl. I’d take like 6 showers a day just to try and get rid of cold sweats, and I would lay in the shower listening to this song. And for a moment, I felt like everything was going to be okay.... and then it was :) I’ll be a year clean on June 25th!!!! Thank you Twiddle!
My uncle was such a huge fan of this band for a year before he passed October 2015 and even after his passing I make sure he gets to jam out to his favorite band and was able to listen to the new releases Thank you so much for allowing me to use your amazing music to connect to my uncle and keep his energy alive, peace and love
I'm lost And I can't seem to find my way home. I've been burning up time Burning out my mind On an endless winding road. All my burdens keep me hurtin' Ever present; ever certain -- All alone, they keep eating at my soul. It's hard to see the future When the present doesn't suit ya - Every day feels like a blinding cold. Blinding cold. There's a hole in my energy It's burning out my sanity Eroding the thrill of getting old. I don't fit in with society - Its blinding my integrity While undermining my goals. It's blurring my intensity And muting my ability To avoid the bumps in the road. I can't execute the skills I need Relax and keep my dreaming free While stumbling out in the cold I've been struggling for way way too long It's time for a change im ready to move on. And, yes, I'm scared to right all my wrongs. But I'll be ok- I'm stronger than I thought. They're gettin' bold with technology It's eating up our decency. So why do I feel so alone? I'm disconnected from my family; My frends don't wanna talk to me. It's getting out of control. I turned from my destiny And filled it with an evil seed That soon began to take hold. The truth was right in front of me: That all along I held the key To let me in from cold. In from the cold... And I'm not gonna waste one minute of this life. I got a second chance to do what is right. I'm gonna dance in the rain, and lay out in the sunshine. Take all my pain and turn it in into moonlight. Take all my pain, and melt it with the sunshine. Take all my pain, and turn it into white light. Take all my pain, and give myself a good life
Been beaten down from childhood trauma, substance abuse issues and mental health... everyday is a new battle but as terrified as i am this song speaks to me in terms of allowing growth and healing and building life back up i stead of living inside a hole. I may not have a family but my husband is my heart and soul but I need to recharge my soul and spiritually heal again. I wanna dance in the rain and have the warmth of the sun on my skin, being human is a beautiful tragedy. Thank you for making beautiful music.... definitely bone shaking.
My partner and I happened to run into a guy at a hotel, who told us about this song. The name stuck in my head--and it was the first time that someone's suggestion really got stuck for me. Dude, whoever you are, thank you for the AMAZING recommendation--because this is not just an incredible find, but, the meaning hits close to home.
My life's been in a downward spiral for over a year now, but recently have been making changes to better myself. This song has helped me through sobriety and through the loneliness of losing most of my friends. It has helped me realize that the only one with the power to help us "live a good life" is ourselves and in order to get there may be challenging, but we are "stronger than we thought" :). Stay strong friends, the cold will be over soon.
Been clean from heroin for close to a decade now, but I just heard this song the other day, and I kid you not I felt like day 1 of recovery again. Realized there is so much more work to be done. Twiddle has a gift and I hope they can continue to bless ears and souls with their medicine
I can't begin to state how much this song makes me feel. These past few years have been really, really hard. Without these types of musicians I wouldn't be here. If you're reading this and need help. Please, please, please. Reach out. Don't feel like it's not worth it, and know that there's one constant: "It's a good day, to have a great day" No matter what, you are worthy of the love and life you've been given
I have multiple personality disorder and this song brings my system peace i have listen to twiddle since like 2015 saw this song from their van recording and holy shit this song has helped over the years especially now I have mental clarity
Me and my brothers are the closest ever and my big brother just went back to Spain because he's in the navy. With mental disorders and PTSD we've been through together its really hard to do things on my own without him beside me as well as my little brother. This songs makes me feel so much better. It makes me think of him and be proud of him. I'm ready to be alone and succeed. This band has touched me and my family in ways I never knew I needed. Love you guys, keeps making people feel❤
Dude. I love that sh*t so much.. I used to be addicted to heroine. My cure was Nahko and Medicine for the People... (speciffically, "Risk IT") That ONE song might have saved my life! Stay strong, Brother!
haaaa! I love that comment! it has nothing to do with anything, but I'm a huge Gamer (and the new Mario Kart is awesome!)... F*cking hate it when you're "go-to" gamer tag is taken! Posers!!!
My neighbor/friend showed me this band and they're what I need in life. Dealing with mental illness and being separated from most of my loved ones and this never fails to give me chills from how close it hits to home. I've only been a fan for a year, but thank you Twiddle!
I’ve been dealing with a rare health problem for a long time... I’ll never forget when I decided to go live in Hawaii for a few months to make sense of it all.. This song became my theme on that pilgrimage. I listened to it the whole plane ride there, and many times thoughout the trip. It will always remind me of a turning point on my journey... I love you twiddle. Y’all are 😎
My friend introduced me to twiddle and I listened to them on Spotify ALL day today at work. They have the vibes that help you chill out and keep calm and get you through your day. I personally love this song right here
Listening to twiddle and being around the friend that showed me them and lsd has completely turned my life around for the better, I'm can actually say I've been genuinely happy lately and not as depressed as I usually am
This song speaks to my soul. My best friend Luke loved this song and would scream the lyrics so loud. He passed of an accidental heroin overdose 8/13/2020 two days after my birthday. I’m so lost without him and I’ll jam this each day to let him know I’m always and forever will be thinking about him. ~ This is for u Luke Husher ~ ❤️💛💚 u forever & always. I’ll see u n another life since this one wasn’t enough🍀💫
I just wanted to say thank you for this song. It seems to pop up in my playlist when I need to hear the message. It’s saved my life a couple times, kept me from using. 🙏 thank you, a million times.
To the person who showed me this song... if youre reading this, i want everything in this song to happen for you. You deserve it ❤ Found my new genre of music👌🏼
I'm going to turn 22 years old in a couple days, finally finishing school next year after what felt like an eternity at times. I've lost my father to suicide when I was younger, went through a lot of problems that came with my Crohn's disease. Depression hit me at the age of 17. I spent a lot of time in hospitals and mental health clinics, putting my health before everything else. My depression is still an issue I'm struggling with. When I got on a new school 2 years ago, it felt like a fresh new start. I've found new friends, got good grades and had a generally positive outlook on the the things to come. I've met a girl at that time, and things were going great. Then winter came, and my thoughts spiraled down again. I ended our relationship by telling her I didn't want anything to do with her again, that I just wanted to be alone. I've hurt her terribly. At around April last year, I sent her a long message, trying to apologize for the things I put her through. We met a couple times during that week, experiencing an emotional rollercoaster every time. She was still unsure after she had told me that she didn't want to try again the first time we met. She was coming over that weekend, to see if there was still a spark, and there was. I told her I didn't want to hurt her again, and I meant it. We were together again. I wasn't able to push through my doubts when it hit me again the following winter. We had a long talk, and she wanted to keep fighting, but I didn't have the energy, so I ended it again, letting her fall. I hurt this girl twice and to this day I still feel like I'm the bad guy in this story. I hurt the girl I love because I wasn't in control of my bad thoughts, isolating myself as soon as things got tough. I know it'll never be like the old times again, and that I'll have to further work on becoming a better version of myself before I can think about becoming close with another person again. I don't want to repeat my mistakes, and I don't want to hurt the person I love again. This song hits that spot almost too well, but it gives me hope that I'll look back one day and see that all these hardships and mistakes I've made were worth it in the end. I'm the best student in my class right now, and I have great friends who understand me. I'm on a good way of bettering myself, but it's only the start. I know there will be more struggles, and I'll have to prepare for that. Thank you Twiddle, for this absolutely amazing and touching song. It gives me hope that things will turn for the better. And when that time has finally arrived, I'll have you guys to thank for that.
This song was with me through a lot. It was on repeat when I got sober. It’s been with me through a lot of challenges and I share it with people that need to hear it. Epic song.
I know im late to the party, but holy jeepers, what an amazing song... Found it on a random playlist while backpacking through the mountains... Life's tough and like many others have noted, this song is immensely relatable...The lyrics are clever but clear and music is uplifting and i am now hooked on twiddle train! Looking forward to a deep dive into your other music!
As a person that's nearing her 9 year sober journey from alcohol, I make those closest to me listen to this, to get an idea of what a person with addiction feels like. But better yet.... those that have reached out to me about couristy in getting sober for themselves, see this as looking into a mirror at them self, and seeing that there is a road that they are strong enough to take, to sobriety.
The lyrics perfectly exemplify addiction. The music and the vibe of this song exemplifies that hope that one day your heart will be changed and your soul will find peace, at last.
My childhood friend showed me this while we were sitting outside at night on my friend's/his girlfriend's back stoop, smoking a joint. It was a great moment. Cool air, night sky, reconnecting with an old friend over beautiful music, drifting off in the smoke and the rhythm.
Feel ya, yo, but tomorrow's a new day for us all still lucky to be alive & see the tiny miracles of this planet in even a single blade of grass. You got this, fam!!
I cannot get enough of Mihali and twiddle man wow OBSESSED with these jams my friends, like the song says I am so ready to move on take all my pain and turn it into white light omg hits my soul deeply ! i absolutely freaking adore Mihali he rocks my life ! In a good way wow ! Healing is possible peeps I’m living proof I was not in a good way for 44 years until finding stick figure who then led me to all these other kick fucking ass bands like these dudes ! Mihali see u in killington my friend yesssir! 🤘❤️🙏🏼
Seen these guys 5 times, best show was at the Hampton casino with Matisyahu. Man these times were great. Standing outside in the middle of winter with a frozen red solo cup of beer just jamming to these guys with my friends.
Matthew J Snow introduced me to Twiddle 7 years or so ago he has been gone from this earth for a few years and I always think of him when I listen I miss you deeply my Brother
Man this song has comforted me for many many years and in many life situations. When I saw them play this at Peach fest (the last one we know of btw ) I was glad it was dark bc I balled my eyes out.
I've been struggling with bipolar disorder, ptsd, and anxiety for the majority of my life. With all this crap that's been bogging me down, it can be hard to wanna keep moving forward. I also have trouble finding songs that I can really resonate with. There's not a lot of songs with subject matter that I can relate to the crap I'm going through. Especially lately with my PTSD haunting me constantly. But this song... it really is inspiring me to keep pushing on. My fiancé has listened to this song a few times before but I'd never really listened to it until last night. It definitely struck a chord with me and I've been listening to it non-stop and trying to learn it on the uke. I honestly feel like it's cleaning my soul of all the garbage. I can't thank you guys enough for this song.
A friend of mine shot himself in the dome and got put into a medically induced coma for a bit. This song was on repeat for a few days. He made it out alive and wants to live.
God sent Lord Jesus Christ to save us, and I am so grateful that He saved me. I am hearing this song on the other end of death, sin, and destruction that the old me was living in. I can remember the pain in my soul that this song captures. I am so grateful to God that He pulled me out of the wreckage of my past addiction and hopeless living. The devil wanted my soul but he didn't win. To anyone out there struggling, from any kind of vice or thorn in their side; don't give up. Hold on to music like this that gives strength, and if you haven't already, consider Jesus Christ. Through Him, you can be born again and find a way out of the darkness like never before. This is a great song and I am happy I found this band today.
So grateful coming across this song .. this is the second song today gifted to me I'm so grateful. Today's been a low day and the right music helps so much.
This song made me think so hard for my life since I lost my brother 6yrs ago n my mom a yr ago made me hit rock bottom and this song lift me up n every way. Ty for the band to create this incredible song it means a lot not just for me but a lot of people that have been struggling 🥰😘🙏
It's the lyrics of the song that energizes us to move forward despite our fears, our doubts, the hatred and the ignorance of humanity. Love this song and the horns serve to emphasize the point.......great melody........................rock on guys!!!
This song gives me force always when I listen to it,.when i think i'm going to nowhere in life, it helps me to remind that i can always change My life to something good Even if i feel that i haven't progressed in life
This song has made me cry many times. It has given me the energy to better my situation for myself, my health and my wealth. Sometimes it’s hard to see the light but you always need to move forward.
Same here the song REALLY hits home for me from start to finish!... just getting clean and scared I won't be able to clean up the wake of Destruction I've left behind...
