Dan’s music has saved my life. I’m so grateful for his vulnerability his music has helped me through some dark times.
thanks for that
Maybe it was G-d who lovingly saved u through him
🥰
@@bandarisians1386 totally agree!
@@bandarisians1386 and maybe it wasn't, we'll never know. What I do know though is the world needs more people like Dan.
Great interview. Learned a few things I didn't know, but Dan stayed consistent to what we all have known all along. He is a kind, thoughtful, honest and caring man who loves his family and friends. That's why we all love him.
Hello how are you doing?
@@danielreynolds3912 cringe
Wrecked is incredible. I literally just listened on repeat for hours after the first time I heard it
I agree Dino
@@BehindtheBrand I just found your page. It’s very cool. I’m going to give you a follow.
This interview is so meaningful. I knew the album was amazing but had no ideas about its background stories. The stories relate to every of us in an incredible way. It helps a lot in healing wounds and consoling injured souls.
A great example of life
Beautiful interview. Thank you for sharing yourself with us Dan. You’re truly an amazing man. I’m glad you are still with your wife and children. They deserve you. God bless you all.
Live, LOVE & Laugh Be kind to yourself. ♥️
“I feel a great amount of responsibility to show my brokenness.”
This just sums up the authentic, human, relatable, empathetic nature that Dan encapsulates.
Imagine Dragons, Dan, his band, their melodies, are just….otherworldly.
Thank You for this interview. It was what I needed today. And tomorrow. And yesterday.
I really admire him. I absolutely love how he tries to normalise therapy and emphasises the importance of it. I am in the middle of a divorce now and therapy was what my husband and I desperately needed but he didn't want to go, nor see how badly we needed it. I love how Dan speaks in a vulnerable way about his struggles. It takes a man with a lot of courage to do that. I really respect and admire him. I wish that he will find the truth he is seeking. May he stay blessed and his family too
You don’t need therapy. You need the Truth. Am in not talking about the same truth Dan is talking about. I’m talking about real Truth. God. God is a Spirit. God is Love. There is Only One God. He put His Spirit In the man Jesus, ( came fashioned as a man), and He did this to Save the Believers!
You need to believe the Gospel, ( Word), and once we do that He will Give the Spirit to you! And you will find inner peace because the Truth sets you free!
This world lieth in wickedness. It is death. The enemy of God is death. God is LIFE.
1Tim 2:5- There is ONE GOD and One Mediator between GOD and men, the Man Christ Jesus
Mediator =2
Man (Flesh)-Jesus
GOD(SPIRIT)- JESUS
Jesus died for the sins of the world and was buried, and on the 3rd day GOD RAISED him from the dead according to the scriptures
(( GOD can never die))
1Tim 1:17- Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, INVISIBLE, the ONLY Wise GOD, be glory for ever and ever Amen.
All the believers have the Spirit IN them! GOD is here right Now! Just believe and receive the FREE GIFT 🎁!!

HIS sheep Never die! It’s about the Spirit! Believers that have HIS Spirit have Eternal LIFE, and therefore we can Never die! We are HIS children!! 💗 🐑 ☀️ 🌺 🌳 🌈
@@janie3117 everyone has their own truth. Im mormon and do feel the truth, but at the same time it feels different, like its not fully there. It takes time and if I end up coming back to religion in the end, then I'll know that the truth all along has been religion. So let them think what they think and in the end if you or I find the truth, then youll find it. Much love to everyone who reads this.
Being a musician literally saved my life as well.. Dan has been real inspiration to me in my later life.. (I'm 42) I absolutely love his songwriting and the fact the Imagine Dragons is my kids favorite band warms my heart..
thanks for watching
I saw Dan Reynolds rip his shirt off last Week at a concert Because of how hot it was at Riverbend, the man is a legend. If you didn't know the song Demons from the Album Night Visions is about his Sister who passed away leaving behind her seven kids. He's incredible
The best interview I’ve ever seen. I have so much respect and admiration for Dan Reynolds. And this interview has inspired me so much. We’re all on the path of self discovery. We’re looking for that truth, in one way or another. And when you come across someone who is a guiding light, it’s a blessing that’s not to be taken for granted. His words made me think about so many things that I tried, consciously or unconsciously, to keep buried. People like him make this world a better place.
Wow, thank you Elena!
Mine is broken... how is yours?
Such a deep and meaningful interview, I may say that I'm an old fan of Imagine Dragons, and yes, their music gave me support when I needed it. Guess Dan is writing about his emotions and feelings which all we go through, and when we hear it in music we absolutely can relate and feel fine to be not okay or to deal with our demons. It was very interesting to hear his thoughts which he is not sharing everytime as some other people, appreciate it so much.
Thank you so much for having him, it seems to me that one hour is very short for it lol but I just didn't realised how time just past when it ended. Thank you for questions and your own thoughts, they are very deep too. It's my second time whatching your show and I love to see my favourite artists in it. Thank you so much and good luck~
thank you!
loved he's songs without knowing about he's story, now I got why is that, because we've been dealing deeply with same kind of problems
pfff. 12 minutes into this interview and he already summed up most of my issues currently. Detached, feeling numb , trying to do minimal effort to get out of social situations. Girlfriend breaking up with me. feeling lonely, therapy. seems like we all get to have the full package.. aren't we ;)
To anyone reading this and feeling the same. your not alone. Love and peace to all
right there with you mate
I’m going through something similar. My girlfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago and I feel abandoned. I’m at my very lowest point. I feel less alone knowing I’m not on my own. Hope your doing better!
@@skeletor6287 slowy doing better. Getting to the point j can give the breakup a place. Not much further on the therapy side of things.
Hey Dean... I've been reading thru comments & thought I'd check in on you. How are you doing today? Just wanted you to know someone out there is thinking about you & cares about how you're feeling. :) Hope things are looking up for you!!
Agreed. .I'm there..the speech Dan said last at reading 23 was powerful an epic set - I gota get help..lov Dan. Great guy
I'm just watching and crying,the words he says,he is so great.Not only like a musician but also like a person
Dan, You have saved my life on multiple occasions. Everything you say resonates in me. The last 5 months of my life have been horrid- but then the new album dropped, and now this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I know I am not alone. I love you.
thank you for the kind words
His openness is giving hope and courage to so many!
Dan Reynolds is FANTASIC! 😊🥰👍
A magic interview ! Dan should speak more often , we need this kind of People to make the world a better place 💫
Currently making my way out of the LDS church. It is incredibly hard to separate from your family because your life is built around the religion. Thank you for this interview it reminds me I’m not alone and that it’s okay to be angry with religion.
Thanks for watching Courtney!
Courtney. I left the lds church 9 years ago. I was 35 years old when I left. If you need someone to talk to, I am here.
@@BehindtheBrand can you reply to my comments.
@@beckywilkes8995 I am lds i just inactive so technically never left but I can tell you I do not attend church think I have been maybe 4 times in 3 years and to be fair that was only my friends baby dedication and one as a new Bishop was being ordained and two times cause I was friends with ppl that were either getting callings or going on a mission
LORD JESUS LOVES U HE WILL ANSWER UR CRY JUDGES -15:8-9
Dan and the rest of Imagine Dragons saved my life. The lyrics in the majority of their songs speak to me on levels I can’t comprehend. Thank you for this.
Dan Reynolds is an incredible soul. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform in Hershey Pennsylvania on August 12, 2022. So playful, authentic, loving. His true self shines brightly on and off stage!
30:39 . I love little moments like this, it adds little more life. The interview is inspiring. All mainstrean interviews are just about how happy famous people are, which only makes you more disconnected from THEM. Makes your goals feel less possible.
🙏 thank you
I loved him before now i really admire him.what a good man his music is so meaningful..❤
In my 60's now with a different US based church as a child I can so relate! As a daughter and mother All I can say is ALLOW and TRUTH is found in all faiths on Earth. If we just start talking, thank you for this open, honest talk we so need that in todays world of HELL on Earth of our (human - women and men - men and women) have made. Peace and prayers always! Remember the golden rule "what goes round comes around" always! And we can be ECO or EGO, thank you again for being more eco lead. And Brand I just started following this channel because I can tell the story of my life with words to songs.
I have never actively listened to Imagine Dragons. Then I was invited to a concert in Prague and liked many of the songs. I have created a little playlist on Spotify and randomly played a song or two.
Three weeks after the concert my life literally crashed and I lost strength, meaning of life, happiness, energy. For the last 4 weeks I just wake up in the morning, argue with my head to leave me alone for a while and hope to somehow survive till the next one.
However, I have expanded my Imagine Dragons playlist and am stucked to it. Because beside going to therapist, it is the songs like Bones, Sharks, Natural or Enemy keep me alive and help me not break down completely.
Music really is a miracle and ID do a great job for me right now. Thanks.
It was a perfect Saturday night.
I can't thank you enough for doing this interview and also for sharing it with us. This was so meaningful and therapeutic to listen to. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I‘ve been watching Dan Reynolds path for a long time. He reminds me a lot of my eldest son. Highs and lows and always self-doubt.
I think Mr. Reynolds is a gifted and lovely man on the way to himself.
So never give up 😉
Best wishes 👍🏻, Leni
thanks Leni
Dan is such an inspiration to me, watched this all the way through
I can't say that I have seen something even remotely as moving, meaningful and magical as this interview! Just makes you respect the man behind Dan who is already a very revered artist! More power to such men.
Incredibly intimate and personal interview, very well done. Being able to relate to Dan's personal challenges (ie. mental health) and him being so open about it is extremely helpful to his faithful fans searching for answers. Great job!
Thank you Neil
Just watched this in 2022, it’s still very relatable and inspiring. I’m glad there are finally some people that make it big that open up about their daily struggles. It’s always been hard for me to do that and I’ve started trying to more and more. One last thought, my mom and I were listening to “it’s ok” in the car one day and we both agreed that it reminded us of jack Johnson’s music. Thanks for the awesome interview!
I might not be the absolute biggest fan of Imagine Dragons as a whole, but I've always personally found listening to Dan talking about things in interviews and other media extremely fascinating and so many of the things he talks about resonate with me. This video almost brought me to tears in some parts, because of how much of what he talks about is things I can personally relate to.
thank you
The song “I Don’t like myself” is the one that really speaks to me. Had a hard time making friends or forming some type of relationship with people because they always treated me like I had some sort of mental Illness or disease. It was mostly because of my appearance. At first I didn’t think there was anything wrong but because people refused to interact or bullied me, I started to believe the things they said about me. After that, I became antisocial and maybe a little rude but kept to myself majority of the time. Just stopped caring. I still have my moments where I lack confidence and wish I wasn’t born the way I was, but I am improving. Work in progress
I wish there were more normal people in show business like you Dan, being just yourself in business these days has to be very exhausting, all this pressure has to be a lot! Thanks for being such a normal guy from next door, so imperfect, so not the best, such a human creature.
Amazing guy, that is where his strength is coming from
Dan's music i play when im in hospital and this gave me strong ❤️❣️🙏
I stumbled on your music. Thunder caught my attention. I have three sons and I'm 62. Bipolar runs in my family. I was talking to my youngest about your music and his wife mentioned you and the band had been playing for a while. We joked I was behind the times. Dealing with depression I can relate. I'm on meds for it which helps me cope. Keep doing what you're doing. I think you have a tremendous outlook and the young people and teenagers are watching you. When you're performing the young people come alive. It's nice to listen to music that is clean. I've gotten old enough I dont want to hear all the language. I wish you and your band the best and I'll be right here listening. ❤
I listened to this interview literally holding my breath. I have never seen an artist as human as Dan. His words touched me in my deepest self, I feel his songs written on my skin, I live them every day. It's too late for me to put Dan's advice into practice but I hope it helps many more people. Thanks to both of you for this wonderful, human and sincere interview.
Literally?
This talk was so great. I've always adored Imagine Dragons and found their music to be resonating with my soul and struggles and just the rhythm of my life. Only listening to the latest album I noticed that there were a few "depressing" songs, I felt there was a struggle in them. And finding this interview - I finally understand what that was about and why it's there. Every day I find more and more celebrities that open up about how they really feel and I find it as something unimaginable that the people on the top also strugle, they are also just humans and we all go through the same paths in our lives, every one unique but we all share the same problems. It's extremely sad to me that we can't all overcome the different issues and we can't all be at peace with ourselves. But the talks like this one make me rethink a lot of stuff. I am extremely thankful for this video both to you and to Dan. In the weirdest way this is very inspirational and full of life. Makes me understand why it's important to be at peace with yourself and why it's important to listen to yourself. It really is okay to struggle and we shouldn't be trying to hide and cope with it. Sometimes you just must allow grief and saddness to go through you. But you have to do it to empower you and to go further. Thank you for the talk...
I also had lost my nephew to suicide four years ago, and when I received that phone call from my older brother, or was an enormous shock and shaken me to the bone. Now I know that there’s nothing worst for a parent then to lose a child to suicide
i'm so sorry Sylvia
@@BehindtheBrand Thank you Dan 🌹
I have been like that for most of my life and still am
Thank you, a terrific interview
Thank you for such an honest and sincere conversation 🙏🏾❤️
thank you!
Just went through a very bad patch and l listened to the song and cried and eventually the song made me feel stronger. Almost in tears watching this video. You are amazing Dan 🙏
And I must say Mac Reynolds is THE MAN! He’s gotten me lots of backstage passes and better tickets than what I bought to ID’s shows. The whole “ID family” is amazing in never forgetting who was there supporting them from the beginning. I love each and every one of them like they’re family ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this wonderful interview. I discovered so much about Dan Reynolds and Thank you because his words reached my heart. Having always been hindered from reaching my dreams and doing artistic work, his words touched me greatly. ❤
I’m a bit older than Dan and depression was a relatively rare diagnosis when I was in high school, but that’s when I was first diagnosed. I was given one of the very first anti-depressants developed at that time. Once I started it it felt like coming up out of a dark well that I didn’t know I was in. I’m also artistic like Dan. I do several different kinds of art, but currently I’m writing novels. I became interested in Dan’s story because of his music. The novels I’m writing incorporate contemporary pop/rock music with the story I’m writing. I reference several Imagine Dragons songs in my books, because the music he writes is unique music and lyrics that evokes a lot of emotion. In regards to faith, I found rescue in Christianity, but I understand him saying there has to be balance too. He seems like he’s very in touch with his feelings which is pretty incredible, especially for a man. Part of me wonders if it’s a artistic trait that many of us are in touch with the feelings part of our personalities? Anyway, I’ve been a faithful Imagine Dragons fan from the beginning. There is rarely any of Dan’s music that I dislike. Thanks for sharing his story.
Loved the interview and the dynamic you and Dan had, keep up the good work! You're a great interviewer.
I'm a 66 year old woman and I totally resinanted with Dan's interview what a beautiful wise young man. ❤
I have an entire playlist called "Imagine Dragons" that I'll let go on repeat for hours while I do yard work or workout. Too many favorites to only choose 1 song. I find myself in each song in 1 way or another.
Outstanding. Deep, insightful, emotional. Your interviewing style as a REAL conversation is simply fantastic. Thank you
thanks
Both guys are great and very emotional... I would like to talk and cry with them 🙂
Music is a gift, like a buddy that releases all feelings, good and bad. It relaxes, excites, boosts moods, makes us cry, laugh, every emotion we have. It is a therapy. Even when we don't need therapy.
Dan has recently become a hero for me. His music saved me from the darkness of depression when I was younger, and now I see him as more human. He is just like me, and that is something that I will always be happy about.
Thank you for you honesty!!!
Great interview.
Wou, such an amazing interview, so deeply, personal and it really makes you think about everything, thank you for an awesome work in this interview, and thanks to Dan for being such an inspiration for many.
💙💛Thanks for such a deep interview. I loved Dan's songs for many years, on an intuitive level I felt how Dan is real, frank in songs, and this interview revealed to me the depth of the soul and humanity of this singer. Thank you 🙏
Excellent
Thank you both ❤️❤️
Dan, God bless you...
I'm so glad I found this vid. Wow, Dan is an excellent writer and to think thousands of songs gives me chills! Gems no doubt. Clearly he is genuine, kind, and intelligent. Such a loveable person.
Love this interview. Thanks!
thank you!
Hello how are you doing?
I truly admire Dan Reynolds, he has no false illusions about himself, what you see is what you get , which is a rare commodity. And I love his music, it really speaks to me. He said do what you love , and it's took a long time but I recently found my passion and I now make hand crafted jewellery and gift it to friends and family. I hope imagine dragons keeps going for many more years so Dan can continue reaching out to people with depression and mental health issues.
Thank you for this and sharing your story! It gives me a better understanding as a person who loves my husband and son who have both delt/ dealing with depression.
thank you Bo
Thank you for this down to earth interview. I'm an Imagine Dragons fan..their music has helped me no end...I found the part of Dan's feedback on parenting/religion and LGBTQ really interesting, in fact the whole interview is very informative and thought provoking. Thank you both.
Thank you 🙏
Love this interview.
thanks Angelique
My Dad died 14 years in March 21st, and it changes you for the better.
Grief is an initiation ❤
It brings you to Truth ❤
I respect and love Dan so much he is always my best inspiration ever :)
Such an great interview! Lots of respect for 2 amazing individuals. Made me realise a tons about life and the way i see it myself. I have huge respect for Dan, the way he was educated and the way he stays truthful with himself and the world around him. Thank you for this!

Great interview. Thanks for this video! New subscriber! I feel very identified with the words of both of you. I love Dan's humanity.
thank you Holly
So glad I found this Channel!!! Awesome!
SUCH A GREAT INTERVIEW!!! ❤️❤️
Thank you, Dan, for being so honest and telling your story! :) It is an inspiration to me and so many others. Listening to your music is my therapy. It reflects my feelings and often helps me to accept them.
Thank you for talking about your depression it helps people like myself feel as if I am not alone. The song "Demons" really resonated with me
knives dullAnd
Unending thanks to the both of you for that precious share - this is indeed a healing means to me. Namaste.
You are such a good interviewer! Thank you both. Superb exchange.
thank you
@@BehindtheBrand love the two of you discussing grief, mental health and how death changes you. I only wish he had spoken a little more about the process of managing chronic illness on a daily basis, just because I struggle with mine, and I get down over it. Something inside keeps me trying tho. Anyways, I truly appreciate your work, that you expand beyond the 'brand'. Still got a lot to learn to pursue and honour my truth.
Incredible interview…thank you! I found this to be very helpful.
Them last few words from dan were great - such a great an humble guy who writes true songs - thank you again BTB for this ...uk.
never feel hate or annoyance in your heart just profound gratitude
Thank you so much,both
Dan is a poet and philosopher.🥰
The body language is just amazing!
This is a wonderful talk

thanks for being here
Two man with big heart❤ Thank you so much for this, I’m in love this interview
Love the music! touches the soul!
The insight to the way he conduct s himself is amazing that in a way made me cry had so much going on in the last two years but I’m ok so thanks ❤️
Love u Dan ❤
Every word was great .. thank you dany ❤❤
I just love Dan!
All I can say is WOW! WHAT a gift this interview has been on so many levels. I am floored.
thanks Michelle!
Just what I needed in this time. Thank you!
This was so inspiring.. love you both ❤️
As an Imagine Dragon's fan, I have loved the songs and truly enjoyed the music videos. I too came to a point where I went through an "event", and was then diagnosed with clinical depression, and anxiety. To be honest I don't look up info of artists, so the honesty and openness from Dan through this interview, I'm grateful. I grew up in a Christian family, went to bible school, mission trip, life changing! My life went to crap for a long period of time, so now I'm just working on my faith, which will be a life long journey... Thank you so very much for this interview!
Thank you Kelli
When he talks about parents, “accepting”, their gay child is SO TRUE!! Im not gay, but when my brother-in-law came out, the parents told him they accept it and now he should call other family members to let them know…would they require that if he was straight? No way!
Love is love - NORMALIZE it!!!!
thanks for watching Rachelle!
@@danielreynolds3912 pretending to be Dan Reynolds is sad man
Simplemente Dan es un ser humano increíble que todos amamos es tan humano y tan perfecto a la vez, es increíble me ayuda mucho cada dia escuchando su música y ver entrevistas o un poco más de el me hace admirar más y sentir que no estoy solo y realmente me ayudan sus palabras.
Creo que en el mundo hay muchas personas buenas qué sufren mucho y no es justo, algo que siempre pienso es pq las mejores personas que conozco sufren tanto, Dan es una de ellas, es hermoso ojalá no sufriera tanto, espero que mejore todo qué cambien las cosas se lo merece y en grande es una gran persona en general, gracias por esta entrevista.
Just found this. Wow. This wasn’t an interview. It was so much more. Thank you
Excellent interview. Thanks to both of you for letting us see below the surface. Love is humanity’s super power. These two people get that in a deep and profound way.
thanks Jess
Hello how are you?
Great Great interview! Just saw Imagine Dragons in concert 3 weeks ago!(2nd time I've seen them) Stuff Dan said... I am soooo glad you decided to continue to create,to perform! You & XA have been my feel my feels/transformative bands. I lost so much weight cleared my brain by running & working out to your music. I am soooo glad the art chose you because it has been very transformative /motivational for me as I an sure many other. Love you & the Dragons!
Needed to hear this.
I just had to say wtf man, bc holy moly that's amazing that he makes songs that way, I mean, #1 and Natural fx. Are amazing lyrically. Just crazy to think about his mood made the melody and then to that what he felt made the lyrics. Man I'm gonna appreciate his songs so much more now. And 3-4 hours of activity to stay fit is such an inspiration.
