The meaning of this song is tied with Jenny. And it kills me. In Jenny he was singing about his sister's addiction and how it hurt their mother who died of cancer. And in this song he's singing about the lost of his mother and begging God to show mercy, either by saving her or taker her away now to end her suffering. But he's conflicted because it's his mother and well a mother's love is the most powerful thing.
ProgettiJ no. It’s about his sister named Jenny who has bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and also about his mother who cared for her even though she had cancer.
You described what I never could. This is exactly how I felt losing my mom..... Wanting her to be pain free but not wanting her to go. This is such a powerful and emotional song. Can't help but cry.
My dad passed away December 7th 2022 after a battle with cancer and I picked this song to play at his funeral. We loved Nothing More and saw them in concert together. I miss you so much dad I will love you forever.
The ending of this song is so symbolic, at least how I interpret it: I think, at the end, we are hearing what his mom hears as she is dying. She is hearing Jonny saying "Keep holding on..." over and over, but the angelic voices keep getting louder and eventually drown him out because she is getting closer and closer to Heaven (or death in general). The song ends with a breath - her last breath.
For some reason I really love 4:15. It's like he's all composed and calm on the outside with "I'll hold you to the end" but on the inside (or what you hear in the background) he's absolutely screaming in pain.
I think that's what he was going for, and it's genius. This whole song is genius. It's what you do when someone you love is dying; you try to keep a brace face for them even when you're going through the most painful thing you've ever faced. You want to cry and scream and curse, but they need you and knowing how much you're hurting will only make this harder for them. Like "Cancer" from My Chemical Romance said, "The hardest part of this is leaving you". This is especially true when it is a parent dying. You push it all down for them; you can let it out after it's all over.
Our bands screamer and rhythm guitarist Eddie claims that the part you mentioned actually had him in tears since he’s been depressed and had that same mindset of sadness
there are times when you have to be so strong for someone else, when the situation is ripping you apart inside. The price of love is pain and you'll willingly endure whatever you have to, that is love. This song reminds of my parents and always makes me cry.
"You may feel like God went north and left you to be, but all you need to know is you have everything you need." this line has done more for me than years of therapy ever did or could
The escalation on this song is so perfect even if you're indifferent at the first verse, almost especially if you are it just hits you that much harder as it feels like he's more and more desperate it's heartbreaking. Really a song that perfectly captures that moment.
first time I heard this was 3 years ago when my mom was in the hospital for 3 months suffering.. I saw her everyday, watched the monitor beep for hours, watching her flowers wilt away, watching her getting her trachea suctioned. praying that someone could end her suffering.. I told her she didn't have to hold on anymore, that we would be fine.. she slowly slipped away and I held her til the end until she was finally free.. to this day as soon as I hear the first sentence it takes me back to that time.. it's a bittersweet memory.. happy she's no longer suffering but also angry she was taken away from me
My mom is still alive and well, but goddam, this song makes me cry thinking about when that day will inevitably come. Very rarely do you find a band that can channel such raw emotion into their music, and Nothing More knocks that out of the park.
I still have both my parents, but they are aging as we all do. When I listen to this and “Fade in/Fade out” it reminds me to love them and be thankful for all the life and love they have given me.
My mom died last year and a friend sent me the song, and I am bawling over this song. My mom was very religious so I have no doubt she heard the angels when God went north with her.
first time hearing this song and I'm crying my heart out. all the years of grieving. tomorrow marks 8 years my dad's been dead. "it may feel like God went north and left you to be. but all you need to know is you have everything you need. It's just a blink of an eye until the next time we meet."
I feel you as a matter a fact im gonna kill myself pretty soon i cant take it anymore to many ppl have i lost to much time spent on unworthy ppl n all i asked for was understanding this will be the 6th time iv killed myself n il make sure no one can reverse it this upcoming one im going to the woods to do it il never be found lol
I wish I got that last talk with my mom. She had stage 3 triple negative breast cancer, completed treatment, had a double mastectomy, and started to recover from that when she started having seizures. The cancer had spread to the fluid surrounding her brain and spinal cord. By the end, she was blind, unable to speak or walk. It all happened so fast. She was in a rehabilitation center for 2 days when I got the call that I needed to go to the hospital before they life flighted her to a better facility. She passed away in the helecopter roughly 10 minutes from the other hospital. I wasn't aware of that until I was led into a room and the first thing I saw was my beautiful momma completely lifeless. Talk about things that make your knees buckle. At least being that high up she was closer to her final destination. She died 15 days before my daughters first birthday. I never imagined I'd be burying my Momma at 21. Itll be 4 years soon.
It's been two and half years since I lost my mother. Hugs friend. Be your best self and pass all the good she showed you. Bless you and your family. Amen
Words can’t describe how your comment with the song made me feel. I am so sorry...I know I could never have done anything, all I am is a stranger on the internet...but for what it’s worth, I’m so sorry you went through that...
I remember sitting in a dark room on the floor pleading with God to make my mom better or to end her pain listening to the song, The next day they took her off life support and just a few hours she was gone. It has been two years since she has left and not a day goes by that I don't think about her😭😭😭😭
Oh my god Same as me, though i just discovered this song it has me bawling I was talking to god too and said please save her or give us peace We went to the hospital the next day, and she told me she wanted to die (she was fully paralyzed, couldnt breathe on her own, speak, feel..nothing) she could just look, think, nod, and mouthe words. And she caught pneumonia which the dr said would only get worse. I told her no, the only way i was letting go is if god said it was her time, and she told me he told her it was. And so, i had to let her go, and pull the plug It still doesnt feel real, a part of me still feels like she's in a hospital somewhere..but no It's been 2 and a half years I lost the only friend ive ever had, the absolute best, we did everything together, and i still think of her everyday too She's was a single mom and the only person ive ever truly loved I was an only child, lived w her for 25 years every single day spending time w her Funny thing is, i cant picture her face or hear her voice, bc my mind wont let me bc it's too painful I barely remember anything And it's ripping my soul apart She was my everything and i cant even remember her
if they ever go to a city near you, I recommend y'all going. it gets really beautiful live especially when he sings this song. his voice is just as amazing in person.
As I've invested my emotions to a place of inner feeling I listen to this song as I stare up at the ceiling With heavy hearted sadness and a never ending pain I think back to the moments that will never ever wane They are the pieces of my puzzle that stick with me the most The memories of all the hurt that live inside my inner ghost And as the song ascends into an emotional crescendo I feel the tears come rushing down like the rain outside the window WIth every word and every note I burn with retribution While the thoughts slice through my aching heart with stabbing execution And as I weep alone the song comes to a peaceful ending I acknowledge the healing melody that Nothing more is sending
I lost my mom on October 13th....and to this day it still hurts so much. But Nothing More helped me so much with this song and keep me calm at life's hardest moments. And for that, I am so thankful for this band.
I lost my grandmother to cancer and even though she was not my mother she raised me and felt more like a mother to me then anything else...it has been many years since then but the first time and every time since that I hear this song it absolutely breaks me down into a fit of uncontrollable crying. It perfectly captures all the layered emotions of losing someone so slowly and the desperation that comes out of it. The anger, the depression, the instability. Pleading with gods you dont even believe in, screaming at the void. This song is a masterpiece and I really truly mean that with my whole heart...
I just heard this song recently and no song has ever made me cry except for this one. I just lost my grandma and this hurt so much. May my grandmother and the singer's mother rest in peace in the embrace of heaven.
I'm typing this while my eyes are still wet from tears. I lost my mother about a year ago, and she died because her liver failed. She used to drink, and eventually she lost custody of me and my brother. One day, while me and my brother were visiting her, she started throwing up blood, and was immediately taken to the hospital. She had gone to the hospital once and survived, so I had some hope in me that she would survive this time, too. Then my step dad told me she wasn't going to make it. I didn't get the chance to say goodbye before she finally died. I miss her, so much. She treated me so much better than my dad does nowadays. She didn't force me to do anything I didn't like or was comfortable with. I'm so alone. If it weren't for my brother and my best friend... I probably wouldn't even be here.
I listen to this song every night. Love your voice. Love your words. It sends chills down my spine, and I can not get enough. Thank you for making music that is real and not for money. You continue to captivate us.
My partner doesn't understand why this song upsets me so much. She says there's nothing wrong with my mother. It's the pain, the anguish, the despair, the hurt that he has. That final blast of the chorus rips me apart.
I've been listening to this song for so long and as a listener I was on the outside looking in on a horrible story. For the past seven weeks, I've been living this song word for word. Week one was when she found out she had cancer and the doctors were 95% sure they removed all of it... to week seven where she's relying on breathing machines and dialysis and doctors are saying be ready to say goodbye. It happened so quick and through it all this song stuck in my head. Going to the hospital to tell her I love her so much.... Got so much more love for Nothing More and this song
Cricket Lee thank you. She passed 12/30/16 surrounded my her children and grandchildren. I'm pretty sure I broke many traffic laws racing from work to the hospital that night. I said my peace to her on Christmas Eve, so when I got to the hospital, I thanked her body for being a beautiful place for her soul to thrive while she was on this Earth with me. I know that sounds weird, but it made so much sense. I'm still so glad I said what I said. This song still plays in my mind a lot in my grieving, and in a way, it soothes me. I hope all those in my situation find this song and know they're not alone in all the emotions they feel during this time.
God I feel this emotion so much. Beautifully tragic. Makes me think of my dad. He died from pancreatic cancer. I just remember praying that he would stay and get better for so long and he just kept getting worse. I got to the point where I prayed for him to just to get to go home and rest. The shadow of the man I once knew. I held my dad's hand as he was dying, he took his last breath. He once held my hand when I needed strength, I got to hold his during his worse time. I love you dad. RIP.
I think of my grandma every time I listen to this song. I lost her in November of 2019 because of ALS. Thank you Nothing More for helping me cope with my emotions
man, I just found nothing more and this song not even a hour ago and I'm in tears my first time listening to it because it hits home with me and my mother who has and going threw cancer ;-; so many feels
My bff's mom was in the hospital for a little less than month before passing. I cried and prayed and cried and prayed for her to get better. My bff and I prayed and cried for her. She still passed, but I know God has a plan. I'll never doubt him
I just lost my mom a few days ago. She has been sick for so long, and I would always play this song. This song is so dear to my heart, it is unbelievable. I am broken about my mom, but this song seems to always make me feel better. Thank you so much Nothing More.
I lost my mom suddenly a year and a half ago. It still kills me, haunts me. I feel like I have a form of PTSD from it. She was admitted to the hospital for something seemingly minor, but went downhill quickly. Within two days I had to make the decision to take her off life support. This song speaks to me in so many ways...
My brother had showed me this song months ago and it made me emotional...then once again I listen to it after having lost my mother Sept 2018 to a sudden death that the cause came from no where..... And like the singer, while my mother was in the hospital on life support all I could think was if God wouldn't save her to just take her.... This song breaks my heart and makes me cry every time....
I always see these comments in music videos explaining how whatever song it is makes them cry, and to my dismay, I have never been able to understand quite what this meant; until now. This song brings a tear to my eye without even listening to half of it, and I love it.
I lost my mom over 4 years ago. I had to pull her from life support and watched the life leave her body. I've listened to this song over and over ever since it first came out. But when the time came that I actually could relate to it, I broke down completely. This song almost always brings me to tears. I miss my mom so much...
I lost my mother a little over a year ago unexpectedly from a massive stroke. She was my best friend and it was always just us two, we were thick as thieves. She watched me take my first breathe while I watched her take her last and I will forever hold her in my heart til my dying breathe. I made the final decision to take her off the vent when I knew there was nothing left and I prayed to God to please make it quick! He gave me 8 hours to hold her hand and pray for my sanity before He called her home. Til we meet again my beautiful angel. I love you mama!
This, and *Fade in/Fade out* really hit hard and show us how mortal we truly are. We all have different situations at home, but for most of us, our parents raised us the best they could. Show them love, reminisce about growing up, ask them to tell you stories of their childhood and their parents. These are the memories you will one day remember when they are gone. We must never forget our loved ones.
I played this song over and over when both my great grandparents died in 2018. This song has so much meaning and it always finds away back into my life when I'm having a difficult time.
This is my favorite song by "Nothing More."I believe in Jesus Christ. Why do some get healing and not others I don't know. I watched my favorite aunt die of cancer. I've seen my broken arm be healed. One thing I do know God sacrifices the temporary physical for the permanent spiritual. He does what it takes to draw us near. Like His son Jesus. One thing I do know is that we all have one thing in common... We all die.
I spent most of my time between 20-30 doing drugs and lost connection to my mom. I'm now 32 and my mother passed at 60 in ALS just a few months ago. I missed almost 10 years of those short 30 that we got but managed to reconnect 2 months before she passed. I'm so incredibly happy i got that time and was able to mend everything before she passed. So to anyone that are keeping their family away out of pure stubbornness, please take the step to fix it before it's to late. You'll regret it for the rest of your life otherwise. I've been listening to this and Jenny a bunch the last months, amazing how they capture the emotions.
Second song i heard from this band... went straight on the amazon website and ordered the album.. I needed to do this. They are so good and i was definitly not prepared for this!
You know the pain and the frustration is unimaginable seeing someone you love suffering. That overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and helplessness you're faced with everyday for the rest of your life, that drives you to the point of desperation which pushes you to say and do the unthinkable 😭
Last June I found out that my mom had what's called Renal Cell Carcinoma. In July, they removed a kidney, part of her liver, and part of her diaphragm. The doctors did what they could, but the week before Christsmas, I got a call telling me that we needed to get to Alaska if we wanted to see her again. Luckily, my brother and sister and I made it up in time to say goodbye. She and her husband went north. She passed on December 22nd. This is a beautiful song, and I thank you.
My Mother passed on my Birthday while I was in Prison. 2014, I didn't want to come home. I haven't been the same since. I heard this song after Jenny. I play it for the Memories that are fading. Swallowed by Pain. I miss you Mother and Father.
I didn't lose my mother or any other family member or friend but today on October 8th, 2017, God went North. Calvin, even Heaven is weeping that brain cancer wanted to steal you away so swiftly. Rest in peace, weary soldier.
My grandpa died 6 months ago. Demention is a terible thing. He was 95 years but still to soon. Such a strong, proud and loving person. ❤ Im still so numb, this song brings so much emotion, emotions i keep inside. I hold his hand till his last breath and i am so thankfull for that
I'm coming back here years later as I just got the call that my aunt, who is a mother to me, is in intensive care after a bad surgery. I stand by all of my previous posts about this song and this band.
Lost my mom 5 years ago on March 24th and this song hits home very hard.. mentally I need to listen to this song every year to help myself for some reason.. love you mom and miss you.
"If you won't save her, please just take her". When you have been at this point, you know how hard that hits you. I don't ever get to talk about that point in my life with anyone. Thank god for this song.
"I'll hold you til the end, I'll hold you til you're free" is my breaking point. That's when the water works start! This is truly the most emotional, gut wrenching song I've ever heard. It explains exactly how I felt on the day my mom died. Almost 4 years ago. 1-17-17. RIP MOM. I love you.
I had no idea my father was dying but I held him as he passed and this song... gets me every time now. “I’ll hold you till the end, I’ll hold you till you’re free....” lord it’s only been 4 months and this holds so much meaning.
My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer when i was 14, back then i freaked out and thought it was instant, i never was told what type. She was on chemotherapy, and for a few years i thought it was all going to be fine, because the only difference was she shaved her head throughout that time, and i would visit her quite literally every weekend. So when my parents told me she wanted to get off chemo, i thought little of it, like "what medication she'll be on?" My answer never came until the next day when we started visiting every day, watching how quickly it changed her and slowed her down. How normal a person can be, who was the best person in your mind, your true mother, the person you wanted at all of your parties, then to become someone unable to look up from bed, will always haunt me. This song reminded me of the last moments i spent with her, watching her be taken in a hearse while i held my sister and mother crying, telling my self to never let go... I fucking love you never more, thank you for all of the amazing music of all time.
My mother was diagnosed with cancer quite recently. This song hits incredibly hard. A beautiful tribute to the singer's mother, truly; as authentically meaningful as a song can get. What a wonderfully talented band.
My son had tagd me on facebook about this song. I had a fight last year against breast cancer. I've made it so far. This song is so good! It makes me cry every time i hear it. Thank you! My son is going to have a tatoo on his arm with de title of this song. Marinka van Ooijen-the Netherlands
I recently lost my grandfather that was really close to me and this song makes me cry every time I hear it but him saying "keep holding on" really helps me get through the pain. Discovering Nothing More when I did could not have been at a better time. Their music helps me to keep moving on..
I first heard this shortly after my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and listened to it all the time b/c I could see the pain in her eyes and knew that she didn't want to live like she was with the chemo. The day she passed I was driving my dad home from the hospital she died in. This came on my pandora, I thought about skipping it b/c I wasn't ready for it but thought my dad may need to hear it. I pulled over knowing I wasn't going to be able to drive listening to this. So hear we are, my 62 year old dad and my 32yo self bawling on the side of the road when an officer taps on the window. He sees the state we're in and asked what was up, I explained about my mom and the song and he let us go. Anywho, I'm again bawling at my desk typing this but just want to say thank you!
My story is similar to Jonny’s. I grew up in a Christian home, my mom was very religious and she had already battled cancer once. Shortly after my fourth child was born, she became sick again and this time she just held to her faith... and prayed for a miracle. I could see her body and mind failing her and my thought process was God you take her or you fix her but I can’t see her in pain anymore. When he says “tightly she holds, but the plan still unfolds” I understand exactly what he means... see my mom, she wasn’t ready to go and she fought her sickness... but the cancer overcame her... the 3 weeks of hospice she went from being herself to a mindless soul. I was there holding her in her last moments, holding on until she gave her last breath. This song brings me comfort knowing she’s in God’s glory, I know I have everything I need now and in a blink of an eye we will meet again.
This song seriously captures the emotional rollercoaster of knowing someone with cancer. I lost my dad 5 years ago to cancer. There would be days I would be numb, and days I would get excited because I thought he was getting better, and in the end, I was just desperately begging for his suffering to be over.
This song really hits with me especially after seeing the interview about his mother passing from cancer. I lost my mother about five years ago to bone cancer, and this still hits home.
I don't normally comment on videos. I was shown this song by one of my greatest friends in the entire universe. He lives like 800 miles away from me in a different state and we only talk on discord. I can't listen to this song without thinking of him and my life. If only I could let him know how much he means to me. He's one of the most amazing people I've ever met. If you read this, my friend, keep holding on. Always, if you can't find a reason to keep holding on, keep holding on for me. I'll keep trying, if I don't make it, know I'll always be in your heart. Forever and always
Mom died from #pancreaticcancer at a young age. I watched helplessly as she faded away from chemotherapy. #jonnyhawkins, I feel your pain. Not a day goes by that we don't talk about what could have been❤😢
Death is limitless. It gives boundaries to our lives. The love and the gift that life, gives us is eternal and should never be taken for granted. Love ALL those around you, even those who are spiteful. God has plans for ALL. We all get our wings one day, so don't worry. You do you and keeping fighting the good fight, keep holding on through no matter what life brings and cherish it because it will pass in the blink of an eye.
5 years and just discovered this song a few months ago. My father passed away of cancer. I was in active addiction and I wasn't allowed at his death bed to say goodbye. I was informed by text message that he had passed. I promptly tried to OD myself on anything I could to end my pain. I was saved by someone or something. Spent weeks in an ICU and months at the hospital doing dialysis. My father was my rock through my addiction and this song and Jenny speak volumes to me. I'm happy to say 3 years later I have a family and am doing well.
This song really hits hard since I lost someone to a hospital bed. Nothing More really touches my heart with their music! Keep it up! Love you NOTHING MORE!!!
Incase nobody has told you this. I'm sorry. My advice to you is to not only be there for her, but be there for him too. I don't know the severity of the cancer...but what I know is that you all need to spend every day making the best of every chance you have. Be closer than you ever thought possible. Again. My condolences. And I hope that you all get through this
Que Deus os abençoe. Que ele possa consolar e operar em suas vidas, tornando-os felizes mesmo diante das dificuldades! Desejo tudo de bom para vocês e todos que estejam passando ou venham a passar por grandes e pequenas adversidades!
Just lost my grandmother this past week and my God does this song hit home. I've listened to this band in the past but I stumbled across this song again and did it hit me right in the feels.
I lost my grandmother on Oct. 1st of 2021. She died of Alzheimer’s and diabetes. She raised me, and as I listen to this song, I feel all the same emotions I felt the day she died. I was too late to reach her, and was pleading in my car as I was driving “hold on, I’m almost there”. And I remember falling to the floor, sobbing as I walked into the room and didn’t hear the monitor and saw that the screen on it was dark. I couldn’t breathe, or see, everything was just at a stand still.. my soul felt as empty as that damned screen… time stopped, and then it spend back up the moment my father embraced me. Everything hurt so much again, all at once. I wouldn’t let anyone bother me as I finally stood up and gave my grandmother one last, really long hug. It hurts so much, to not have her here.
I never understood the words to this song to be honest. I am watching the lyrics literally crying my eyes out. I know exactly what this song means since I have been threw it with my mother. I feel for Johnny or anyone else that has been put thru this. We all face death. This song and this band have some intense lyrics! New favorite band by far!
The meaning of this song is tied with Jenny. And it kills me. In Jenny he was singing about his sister's addiction and how it hurt their mother who died of cancer. And in this song he's singing about the lost of his mother and begging God to show mercy, either by saving her or taker her away now to end her suffering. But he's conflicted because it's his mother and well a mother's love is the most powerful thing.
Exactly. Jenny is about the troubles of their mother's final year while this song is about her final moments
ProgettiJ no. It’s about his sister named Jenny who has bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and also about his mother who cared for her even though she had cancer.
My mother is a cunt. Just wanted to share that. Good day
You described what I never could. This is exactly how I felt losing my mom..... Wanting her to be pain free but not wanting her to go. This is such a powerful and emotional song. Can't help but cry.
Doesn't the next song begin with a baby crying too?
My dad passed away December 7th 2022 after a battle with cancer and I picked this song to play at his funeral. We loved Nothing More and saw them in concert together. I miss you so much dad I will love you forever.
Sorry for your loss. That's a beautiful gesture. God bless.
The ending of this song is so symbolic, at least how I interpret it:
I think, at the end, we are hearing what his mom hears as she is dying. She is hearing Jonny saying "Keep holding on..." over and over, but the angelic voices keep getting louder and eventually drown him out because she is getting closer and closer to Heaven (or death in general). The song ends with a breath - her last breath.
i'm not crying, you are.
This is exactly what he meant it to be. It was supposed to symbolize how the room felt the moment she passed. You're spot-on. :)
Thank you for this. I fancy pulling music apart to hear it's true meaning. Now I can hear it... Thank you...
Yeah, that's exactly what it means and it's what makes me cry the most about this song.
Damn
This song makes me cry... and there is nothing wrong with my mother.
rt
Make you cry more if there was trust me
Sure there is. She's mortal.
My mom passed away from leukemia when I was 9, it hits a little hard ngl
LAST FEW MOMENTS WERE SO HARD I WOULD KILL HER MYSELLF IF SHE WOULDNT DIE. RIP MOM WILL ALLWAYS MISS YOU.
For some reason I really love 4:15. It's like he's all composed and calm on the outside with "I'll hold you to the end" but on the inside (or what you hear in the background) he's absolutely screaming in pain.
I think that's what he was going for, and it's genius. This whole song is genius. It's what you do when someone you love is dying; you try to keep a brace face for them even when you're going through the most painful thing you've ever faced. You want to cry and scream and curse, but they need you and knowing how much you're hurting will only make this harder for them. Like "Cancer" from My Chemical Romance said, "The hardest part of this is leaving you". This is especially true when it is a parent dying. You push it all down for them; you can let it out after it's all over.
Our bands screamer and rhythm guitarist Eddie claims that the part you mentioned actually had him in tears since he’s been depressed and had that same mindset of sadness
@@AsViolenceTurnsAway Depression screams in your ear but when you open your mouth no sound can come out... I hope Eddie's doing okay.
goosebumps everytime
there are times when you have to be so strong for someone else, when the situation is ripping you apart inside. The price of love is pain and you'll willingly endure whatever you have to, that is love. This song reminds of my parents and always makes me cry.
"You may feel like God went north and left you to be, but all you need to know is you have everything you need." this line has done more for me than years of therapy ever did or could
Exactly! This song is so powerful
Bands like this are so underrated it annoys me. Let real music on the radios like this.
Rasmus Enigmatic Actually i found Nothing More on XM radio. They're definitely gaining popularity.
get sattelite, its on all the time
How? with some songs over 18 million views?
Dude nothing more is on my local radio station on the daily
Before "Go To War" dropped they were not on the radio on the east coast. Now they are a good bit, but radio mostly plays shit like it always does.
this is the most beautiful song ive ever heard. All other bands make music. Nothing More makes emotion.
+Larry Crowder I sincerely hope that you know that other bands do in fact make emotion as well.
+lockedheartunlocked oh boy

Sometimes I avoid this song because I am not ready to start crying.
Me too man, me too.
I hear ya, its wild to think how music connects so many people. Sending love to everyone who sees this
The escalation on this song is so perfect even if you're indifferent at the first verse, almost especially if you are it just hits you that much harder as it feels like he's more and more desperate it's heartbreaking. Really a song that perfectly captures that moment.
Yes, exactly!
It's genius isn't it
i agree
Music is supposed to take you on a journey which this does flawlessly. I couldn't agree more with you.
first time I heard this was 3 years ago when my mom was in the hospital for 3 months suffering.. I saw her everyday, watched the monitor beep for hours, watching her flowers wilt away, watching her getting her trachea suctioned. praying that someone could end her suffering.. I told her she didn't have to hold on anymore, that we would be fine.. she slowly slipped away and I held her til the end until she was finally free.. to this day as soon as I hear the first sentence it takes me back to that time.. it's a bittersweet memory.. happy she's no longer suffering but also angry she was taken away from me
My mom is still alive and well, but goddam, this song makes me cry thinking about when that day will inevitably come. Very rarely do you find a band that can channel such raw emotion into their music, and Nothing More knocks that out of the park.
I still have both my parents, but they are aging as we all do. When I listen to this and “Fade in/Fade out” it reminds me to love them and be thankful for all the life and love they have given me.
That day came for me on Christmas day 2022 and I still think about her every second
My mom died last year and a friend sent me the song, and I am bawling over this song. My mom was very religious so I have no doubt she heard the angels when God went north with her.
When he's at the last chorus of the song if you listen to the tone and vibration in his voice it sounds as if he's crying while singing.
He probably was. Probably broke down at the end of the song. Probably broke down when first listening to it too
How could he not
I've noticed that. At the high point, his voice cracks
first time hearing this song and I'm crying my heart out. all the years of grieving. tomorrow marks 8 years my dad's been dead.
"it may feel like God went north and left you to be. but all you need to know is you have everything you need.
It's just a blink of an eye until the next time we meet."
Listen to Fade in fade out. you will have a personal connection with that song
Hugs
i think of my grandma when i hear this song......8 years now
It’s been 23 years for me when my dad passed, and the grief is still there... I hope your heart heals soon..
I feel you as a matter a fact im gonna kill myself pretty soon i cant take it anymore to many ppl have i lost to much time spent on unworthy ppl n all i asked for was understanding this will be the 6th time iv killed myself n il make sure no one can reverse it this upcoming one im going to the woods to do it il never be found lol
I wish I got that last talk with my mom. She had stage 3 triple negative breast cancer, completed treatment, had a double mastectomy, and started to recover from that when she started having seizures. The cancer had spread to the fluid surrounding her brain and spinal cord. By the end, she was blind, unable to speak or walk. It all happened so fast. She was in a rehabilitation center for 2 days when I got the call that I needed to go to the hospital before they life flighted her to a better facility. She passed away in the helecopter roughly 10 minutes from the other hospital. I wasn't aware of that until I was led into a room and the first thing I saw was my beautiful momma completely lifeless. Talk about things that make your knees buckle. At least being that high up she was closer to her final destination. She died 15 days before my daughters first birthday. I never imagined I'd be burying my Momma at 21. Itll be 4 years soon.
Sorry for your loss even if it was a long time ago
It's been two and half years since I lost my mother. Hugs friend. Be your best self and pass all the good she showed you. Bless you and your family. Amen
My mom died of lung cancer and this song brought me strenth
Words can’t describe how your comment with the song made me feel. I am so sorry...I know I could never have done anything, all I am is a stranger on the internet...but for what it’s worth, I’m so sorry you went through that...
Good for you XD
I remember sitting in a dark room on the floor pleading with God to make my mom better or to end her pain listening to the song, The next day they took her off life support and just a few hours she was gone. It has been two years since she has left and not a day goes by that I don't think about her😭😭😭😭
Oh my god
Same as me, though i just discovered this song it has me bawling
I was talking to god too and said please save her or give us peace
We went to the hospital the next day, and she told me she wanted to die (she was fully paralyzed, couldnt breathe on her own, speak, feel..nothing) she could just look, think, nod, and mouthe words. And she caught pneumonia which the dr said would only get worse. I told her no, the only way i was letting go is if god said it was her time, and she told me he told her it was.
And so, i had to let her go, and pull the plug
It still doesnt feel real, a part of me still feels like she's in a hospital somewhere..but no
It's been 2 and a half years
I lost the only friend ive ever had, the absolute best, we did everything together, and i still think of her everyday too
She's was a single mom and the only person ive ever truly loved
I was an only child, lived w her for 25 years every single day spending time w her
Funny thing is, i cant picture her face or hear her voice, bc my mind wont let me bc it's too painful
I barely remember anything
And it's ripping my soul apart
She was my everything and i cant even remember her
I swear, I cry every single time I hear this song. The emotion that was poured into it is so powerful, my heart can barely handle it.
if they ever go to a city near you, I recommend y'all going. it gets really beautiful live especially when he sings this song. his voice is just as amazing in person.
He has vowed to never perform this song because its too personal to him... >~>
Boi B Shookith wait really?
Yes. If you search it there is only time he has ever sang it live and he vowed to never do it again. You could tell it hurt him to sing it.
Can confirm
As I've invested my emotions to a place of inner feeling
I listen to this song as I stare up at the ceiling
With heavy hearted sadness and a never ending pain
I think back to the moments that will never ever wane
They are the pieces of my puzzle that stick with me the most
The memories of all the hurt that live inside my inner ghost
And as the song ascends into an emotional crescendo
I feel the tears come rushing down like the rain outside the window
WIth every word and every note I burn with retribution
While the thoughts slice through my aching heart with stabbing execution
And as I weep alone the song comes to a peaceful ending
I acknowledge the healing melody that Nothing more is sending
this is beautiful, thank you for sharing :)
Beautiful♥♥
This is really beautiful, thank you for sharing. 🖤
Thats incredible. Thank you
I genuinely got chills up my spine. You can hear the absolute PASSION in his voice. Unreal.
I lost my mom on October 13th....and to this day it still hurts so much. But Nothing More helped me so much with this song and keep me calm at life's hardest moments. And for that, I am so thankful for this band.
3:30 you hear the pain from his soul. i keep coming back for the realness of this beatiful song
It's more like 3: 34
😋
true
Me too
Larry Crowder I always get goosebumps at this part
You can just hear that shit. It was so raw
I lost my grandmother to cancer and even though she was not my mother she raised me and felt more like a mother to me then anything else...it has been many years since then but the first time and every time since that I hear this song it absolutely breaks me down into a fit of uncontrollable crying. It perfectly captures all the layered emotions of losing someone so slowly and the desperation that comes out of it. The anger, the depression, the instability. Pleading with gods you dont even believe in, screaming at the void. This song is a masterpiece and I really truly mean that with my whole heart...
I just heard this song recently and no song has ever made me cry except for this one. I just lost my grandma and this hurt so much. May my grandmother and the singer's mother rest in peace in the embrace of heaven.
My Dad just passed 4 months ago. Thank for such a beautiful song. I'M SORRY. For anyone's loss 🫂 ❤
My heart and everything shattered at 4:16 when he screams in the background.
that vocal range though
I'm typing this while my eyes are still wet from tears.
I lost my mother about a year ago, and she died because her liver failed. She used to drink, and eventually she lost custody of me and my brother. One day, while me and my brother were visiting her, she started throwing up blood, and was immediately taken to the hospital. She had gone to the hospital once and survived, so I had some hope in me that she would survive this time, too.
Then my step dad told me she wasn't going to make it.
I didn't get the chance to say goodbye before she finally died.
I miss her, so much.
She treated me so much better than my dad does nowadays.
She didn't force me to do anything I didn't like or was comfortable with.
I'm so alone.
If it weren't for my brother and my best friend...
I probably wouldn't even be here.
I listen to this song every night. Love your voice. Love your words. It sends chills down my spine, and I can not get enough. Thank you for making music that is real and not for money. You continue to captivate us.
Fuck...I was not prepared for this song
ciswarrior MasterRace. NO ONE IS
True statement buddy!!!!
The first three lines really caught me by surprise.
SO not prepared. i was just jumping around youtube. And I just lost my dad a few months ago too. Feels Trainwreck.
ciswarrior MasterRace here here
makes me appreciate my mom more than ever
same
this band is actually helping me through the loss of my mother
Lee Bride good. Appreicate her while you can. Give her all your love. cause when shes gone its like losing the air that you breathe...
Autumn Celeste me either... hopefully they know we do now. And that we love them. God knows id sell my soul to go back and do it all again..
My partner doesn't understand why this song upsets me so much. She says there's nothing wrong with my mother. It's the pain, the anguish, the despair, the hurt that he has. That final blast of the chorus rips me apart.
I've been listening to this song for so long and as a listener I was on the outside looking in on a horrible story. For the past seven weeks, I've been living this song word for word. Week one was when she found out she had cancer and the doctors were 95% sure they removed all of it... to week seven where she's relying on breathing machines and dialysis and doctors are saying be ready to say goodbye. It happened so quick and through it all this song stuck in my head. Going to the hospital to tell her I love her so much....
Got so much more love for Nothing More and this song
Brittany Hernandez
God Bless You. Prayers To You.
Cricket Lee thank you. She passed 12/30/16 surrounded my her children and grandchildren. I'm pretty sure I broke many traffic laws racing from work to the hospital that night. I said my peace to her on Christmas Eve, so when I got to the hospital, I thanked her body for being a beautiful place for her soul to thrive while she was on this Earth with me. I know that sounds weird, but it made so much sense. I'm still so glad I said what I said. This song still plays in my mind a lot in my grieving, and in a way, it soothes me. I hope all those in my situation find this song and know they're not alone in all the emotions they feel during this time.
Brittany Hernandez sorry to hear this
keep holding on
God I feel this emotion so much. Beautifully tragic. Makes me think of my dad. He died from pancreatic cancer. I just remember praying that he would stay and get better for so long and he just kept getting worse. I got to the point where I prayed for him to just to get to go home and rest. The shadow of the man I once knew. I held my dad's hand as he was dying, he took his last breath. He once held my hand when I needed strength, I got to hold his during his worse time. I love you dad. RIP.
This is such a beautiful song. A song has never made me actually cry. This song and Jenny just really tell you a hard, sad story.
I think of my grandma every time I listen to this song. I lost her in November of 2019 because of ALS. Thank you Nothing More for helping me cope with my emotions
man, I just found nothing more and this song not even a hour ago and I'm in tears my first time listening to it because it hits home with me and my mother who has and going threw cancer ;-; so many feels
My bff's mom was in the hospital for a little less than month before passing. I cried and prayed and cried and prayed for her to get better. My bff and I prayed and cried for her. She still passed, but I know God has a plan. I'll never doubt him
My mom passed away 9 years ago in my arms and this song turns me into a blubbering baby every time I hear it. RIP mom rock on nothing more....🤘😪🤘
I just lost my mom a few days ago. She has been sick for so long, and I would always play this song. This song is so dear to my heart, it is unbelievable. I am broken about my mom, but this song seems to always make me feel better. Thank you so much Nothing More.
God loves you!
Nice poem
This came on autoplay and holy shit I was NOT ready for it.
I lost my mom suddenly a year and a half ago. It still kills me, haunts me. I feel like I have a form of PTSD from it. She was admitted to the hospital for something seemingly minor, but went downhill quickly. Within two days I had to make the decision to take her off life support. This song speaks to me in so many ways...
3:36 and on gives me goosebumps every single time
Always!!!
Words just cannot express how much I LOVE this song.
he has such a talented voice very beautiful song
My brother had showed me this song months ago and it made me emotional...then once again I listen to it after having lost my mother Sept 2018 to a sudden death that the cause came from no where..... And like the singer, while my mother was in the hospital on life support all I could think was if God wouldn't save her to just take her.... This song breaks my heart and makes me cry every time....
Every person who cries on there first time is another like this video gets. And I'm proud to say I'm on that list.
I always see these comments in music videos explaining how whatever song it is makes them cry, and to my dismay, I have never been able to understand quite what this meant; until now. This song brings a tear to my eye without even listening to half of it, and I love it.
I lost my mom over 4 years ago. I had to pull her from life support and watched the life leave her body. I've listened to this song over and over ever since it first came out. But when the time came that I actually could relate to it, I broke down completely. This song almost always brings me to tears. I miss my mom so much...
I lost my mother a little over a year ago unexpectedly from a massive stroke. She was my best friend and it was always just us two, we were thick as thieves. She watched me take my first breathe while I watched her take her last and I will forever hold her in my heart til my dying breathe. I made the final decision to take her off the vent when I knew there was nothing left and I prayed to God to please make it quick! He gave me 8 hours to hold her hand and pray for my sanity before He called her home. Til we meet again my beautiful angel. I love you mama!
This, and *Fade in/Fade out* really hit hard and show us how mortal we truly are. We all have different situations at home, but for most of us, our parents raised us the best they could. Show them love, reminisce about growing up, ask them to tell you stories of their childhood and their parents. These are the memories you will one day remember when they are gone. We must never forget our loved ones.
I played this song over and over when both my great grandparents died in 2018. This song has so much meaning and it always finds away back into my life when I'm having a difficult time.
This is my favorite song by "Nothing More."I believe in Jesus Christ. Why do some get healing and not others I don't know. I watched my favorite aunt die of cancer. I've seen my broken arm be healed. One thing I do know God sacrifices the temporary physical for the permanent spiritual. He does what it takes to draw us near. Like His son Jesus. One thing I do know is that we all have one thing in common... We all die.
You will cry, you will always cry. You see, you're crying.
I spent most of my time between 20-30 doing drugs and lost connection to my mom. I'm now 32 and my mother passed at 60 in ALS just a few months ago. I missed almost 10 years of those short 30 that we got but managed to reconnect 2 months before she passed. I'm so incredibly happy i got that time and was able to mend everything before she passed. So to anyone that are keeping their family away out of pure stubbornness, please take the step to fix it before it's to late. You'll regret it for the rest of your life otherwise.
I've been listening to this and Jenny a bunch the last months, amazing how they capture the emotions.
I cry all the time I listen to this song .. and It's like 50 times or more . Thanks, Nothing more. You gave me a lot
Reminds me of my Mom, She died in my arms five months ago.I miss her so much my heart hurts.
I am sorry for your lost ... rest in peace...
I can't even imagine what that would be like, but it sounds like she passed in the perfect place.
discovered this band this morning, every song so far makes me say "holy shit"
Second song i heard from this band... went straight on the amazon website and ordered the album.. I needed to do this. They are so good and i was definitly not prepared for this!
You know the pain and the frustration is unimaginable seeing someone you love suffering.
That overwhelming feeling of hopelessness and helplessness you're faced with everyday for the rest of your life, that drives you to the point of desperation which pushes you to
say and do the unthinkable 😭
Last June I found out that my mom had what's called Renal Cell Carcinoma. In July, they removed a kidney, part of her liver, and part of her diaphragm. The doctors did what they could, but the week before Christsmas, I got a call telling me that we needed to get to Alaska if we wanted to see her again.
Luckily, my brother and sister and I made it up in time to say goodbye. She and her husband went north. She passed on December 22nd. This is a beautiful song, and I thank you.
My Mother passed on my Birthday while I was in Prison. 2014, I didn't want to come home. I haven't been the same since. I heard this song after Jenny. I play it for the Memories that are fading. Swallowed by Pain. I miss you Mother and Father.
Music is a rope that connects hearts to one another and musicians are the ones who create that rope
I didn't lose my mother or any other family member or friend but today on October 8th, 2017, God went North.
Calvin, even Heaven is weeping that brain cancer wanted to steal you away so swiftly. Rest in peace, weary soldier.
My grandpa died 6 months ago. Demention is a terible thing. He was 95 years but still to soon. Such a strong, proud and loving person. ❤ Im still so numb, this song brings so much emotion, emotions i keep inside.
I hold his hand till his last breath and i am so thankfull for that
I'm coming back here years later as I just got the call that my aunt, who is a mother to me, is in intensive care after a bad surgery. I stand by all of my previous posts about this song and this band.
Lost my mom 5 years ago on March 24th and this song hits home very hard.. mentally I need to listen to this song every year to help myself for some reason.. love you mom and miss you.
"If you won't save her, please just take her". When you have been at this point, you know how hard that hits you. I don't ever get to talk about that point in my life with anyone. Thank god for this song.
"I'll hold you til the end, I'll hold you til you're free" is my breaking point. That's when the water works start! This is truly the most emotional, gut wrenching song I've ever heard. It explains exactly how I felt on the day my mom died. Almost 4 years ago. 1-17-17. RIP MOM. I love you.
This song is Beautiful. It speaks to me on a deeper level. Can't explain it but it holds truth about me how I feel and everything.
Almost cried hearing this for the first time.There's so much emotion.This song hits hard.
I had no idea my father was dying but I held him as he passed and this song... gets me every time now. “I’ll hold you till the end, I’ll hold you till you’re free....” lord it’s only been 4 months and this holds so much meaning.
“I’ll hold you till the end, I’ll hold you till you’re free.” breaks my heart every time he screams out that line
My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer when i was 14, back then i freaked out and thought it was instant, i never was told what type. She was on chemotherapy, and for a few years i thought it was all going to be fine, because the only difference was she shaved her head throughout that time, and i would visit her quite literally every weekend. So when my parents told me she wanted to get off chemo, i thought little of it, like "what medication she'll be on?" My answer never came until the next day when we started visiting every day, watching how quickly it changed her and slowed her down. How normal a person can be, who was the best person in your mind, your true mother, the person you wanted at all of your parties, then to become someone unable to look up from bed, will always haunt me. This song reminded me of the last moments i spent with her, watching her be taken in a hearse while i held my sister and mother crying, telling my self to never let go... I fucking love you never more, thank you for all of the amazing music of all time.
This isn’t even close to a song this a beautiful story that is told so well
My mother was diagnosed with cancer quite recently. This song hits incredibly hard.
A beautiful tribute to the singer's mother, truly; as authentically meaningful as a song can get.
What a wonderfully talented band.
My son had tagd me on facebook about this song. I had a fight last year against breast cancer. I've made it so far. This song is so good! It makes me cry every time i hear it. Thank you! My son is going to have a tatoo on his arm with de title of this song. Marinka van Ooijen-the Netherlands
I recently lost my grandfather that was really close to me and this song makes me cry every time I hear it but him saying "keep holding on" really helps me get through the pain. Discovering Nothing More when I did could not have been at a better time. Their music helps me to keep moving on..
I first heard this shortly after my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and listened to it all the time b/c I could see the pain in her eyes and knew that she didn't want to live like she was with the chemo. The day she passed I was driving my dad home from the hospital she died in. This came on my pandora, I thought about skipping it b/c I wasn't ready for it but thought my dad may need to hear it. I pulled over knowing I wasn't going to be able to drive listening to this. So hear we are, my 62 year old dad and my 32yo self bawling on the side of the road when an officer taps on the window. He sees the state we're in and asked what was up, I explained about my mom and the song and he let us go. Anywho, I'm again bawling at my desk typing this but just want to say thank you!
Everytime I listen to this song it brings me to tears. It's so sad and there's so much beauty in it. It makes me think about the future for my family.
My story is similar to Jonny’s. I grew up in a Christian home, my mom was very religious and she had already battled cancer once. Shortly after my fourth child was born, she became sick again and this time she just held to her faith... and prayed for a miracle.
I could see her body and mind failing her and my thought process was God you take her or you fix her but I can’t see her in pain anymore. When he says “tightly she holds, but the plan still unfolds” I understand exactly what he means... see my mom, she wasn’t ready to go and she fought her sickness... but the cancer overcame her... the 3 weeks of hospice she went from being herself to a mindless soul. I was there holding her in her last moments, holding on until she gave her last breath. This song brings me comfort knowing she’s in God’s glory, I know I have everything I need now and in a blink of an eye we will meet again.
This song seriously captures the emotional rollercoaster of knowing someone with cancer. I lost my dad 5 years ago to cancer. There would be days I would be numb, and days I would get excited because I thought he was getting better, and in the end, I was just desperately begging for his suffering to be over.
This song really hits with me especially after seeing the interview about his mother passing from cancer.
I lost my mother about five years ago to bone cancer, and this still hits home.
I don't normally comment on videos. I was shown this song by one of my greatest friends in the entire universe. He lives like 800 miles away from me in a different state and we only talk on discord. I can't listen to this song without thinking of him and my life. If only I could let him know how much he means to me. He's one of the most amazing people I've ever met. If you read this, my friend, keep holding on. Always, if you can't find a reason to keep holding on, keep holding on for me. I'll keep trying, if I don't make it, know I'll always be in your heart. Forever and always
Mom died from #pancreaticcancer at a young age. I watched helplessly as she faded away from chemotherapy. #jonnyhawkins, I feel your pain. Not a day goes by that we don't talk about what could have been❤😢
Death is limitless. It gives boundaries to our lives. The love and the gift that life, gives us is eternal and should never be taken for granted. Love ALL those around you, even those who are spiteful. God has plans for ALL. We all get our wings one day, so don't worry. You do you and keeping fighting the good fight, keep holding on through no matter what life brings and cherish it because it will pass in the blink of an eye.
5 years and just discovered this song a few months ago. My father passed away of cancer. I was in active addiction and I wasn't allowed at his death bed to say goodbye. I was informed by text message that he had passed. I promptly tried to OD myself on anything I could to end my pain. I was saved by someone or something. Spent weeks in an ICU and months at the hospital doing dialysis. My father was my rock through my addiction and this song and Jenny speak volumes to me. I'm happy to say 3 years later I have a family and am doing well.
My Mom left me December 12th 2021 because the cancer took her from us. I stumbled upon this song randomly and just thank you. It's beautiful.
This band will never know how much they helped me through the first few months after I lost my mom. SO much respect for them.
This song really hits hard since I lost someone to a hospital bed. Nothing More really touches my heart with their music! Keep it up! Love you NOTHING MORE!!!
after waking up from an attempt...I was left with my best friend by my side.... he was in New Mexico...I was in North Dakota. he saved my life.
Yuno Gasai um what
My mom died two weeks ago from cancer and this song hits every emotion of the mind & body.
I can relate to this song so much,
My mother died of cancer and this song is like a re-telling of my past.
This is beautiful and so sad.
my son listens to this song 24 7 after he heard his biologic mother had cancer
+Stephen C I'm sorry to hear that :(
Incase nobody has told you this. I'm sorry. My advice to you is to not only be there for her, but be there for him too. I don't know the severity of the cancer...but what I know is that you all need to spend every day making the best of every chance you have. Be closer than you ever thought possible. Again. My condolences. And I hope that you all get through this
my heart goes out to him and you! that's something no son should ever have to go through
Que Deus os abençoe. Que ele possa consolar e operar em suas vidas, tornando-os felizes mesmo diante das dificuldades! Desejo tudo de bom para vocês e todos que estejam passando ou venham a passar por grandes e pequenas adversidades!
Stay strong everyone endures obstacles but you must and always will pull through them
Just lost my grandmother this past week and my God does this song hit home. I've listened to this band in the past but I stumbled across this song again and did it hit me right in the feels.
I lost my grandmother on Oct. 1st of 2021. She died of Alzheimer’s and diabetes. She raised me, and as I listen to this song, I feel all the same emotions I felt the day she died. I was too late to reach her, and was pleading in my car as I was driving “hold on, I’m almost there”. And I remember falling to the floor, sobbing as I walked into the room and didn’t hear the monitor and saw that the screen on it was dark. I couldn’t breathe, or see, everything was just at a stand still.. my soul felt as empty as that damned screen… time stopped, and then it spend back up the moment my father embraced me. Everything hurt so much again, all at once. I wouldn’t let anyone bother me as I finally stood up and gave my grandmother one last, really long hug. It hurts so much, to not have her here.
This may be the most unbelievably sad song.
I haven’t even had a moment like this, but oh my GOD. It’s absolutely heart wrenching.
perfect song when I lost my father soon to be 23 years ago on Thanksgiving in 95. can't believe the lyrics are so perfect and spot on
I never understood the words to this song to be honest. I am watching the lyrics literally crying my eyes out. I know exactly what this song means since I have been threw it with my mother. I feel for Johnny or anyone else that has been put thru this. We all face death. This song and this band have some intense lyrics! New favorite band by far!
This song seriously moved me to tears, you can really feel the emotions behind his voice
