Been through: alcohol, drugs, depression, death (wife) and everything. I'm sixty years old, 20 years in recovery, workout every day, and look younger than my peers. For all that feel hopeless, and need a drug or alcohol, hold on everyday. It slowly gets tolerable. Please, please don't on quit on life. Try and try again!! Thanks
Used to cry to this song , been threw 2 separate felon cases being cheated on by a girl who was 4 years older then me,lied about being on birth control pregnant with my son, failed out of school, got hooked on pills,lost my job ,lost my family ,watched my friends pass and others get barred up @16 no matter what you go threw there are always people to talk to that have been threw hell and back, don’t let your demons own you, nobody is ever alone
GOD ain't done with YOU... YOUR mess is a MESSAGE & GOD will get YOU THE BILLBOARD opportunities to SHOUT IT OUT & OTHERS will be HEALED BY YOUR PAIN. GOD BLESS YOU
Mike Ness opened the door of hell and freed suffering souls with this great song...that's why he's loved and a legend. Keep kicking ass, Mike...thousands of us love ya' ! Keep Coming Back for all of us. Please !
God this song hurts... This was my wife's and my song for 10 plus years now it just Hurts listening to it !! Nothing hurts worse then a broken heart !!! RIP Blaize !!! Miss you Wifey !!!
lost my wife a few months ago and this songs speaks to me for her. the rest of SD songs do also. can't go wrong with SD for anything. they're so inspiring if people acually listen to the lyrics.
+Jeremy Riff Love and death don't mean a thing till the angels sing. There's gotta be a Heaven because (we've all) already done (our) time in Hell. May she RIP bro.
+Snolla 1988 I did not like him doing it either and Riff has my sympathy in a major way. People come from different cultures and circumstances though and there are quite a number of people (macho? or certain ideological groups) that might make that statement. I feel sorry for him as well...that life is seen in that harsh way.
SocialD has been a staple in my life. drug addict parents, dad leaving and dying, me becoming an addict to drugs and alcohol...od'ing...getting off the stuff, becoming a father, divorce, winning custody, and finding a woman who wants me and daughter...only to find out 5 months ago I'm 30 years old and with out heart surgery I would have died in less than a year...I get down on myself depressed, but this song hits home and gives me reason to keep going. my whole world is my wife and daughter, and I can't give up on myself because they need me. I love them with every pain staking breath in my body, but I am slowly getting better....
Another great song by Ness. He is a brilliant song writer and musician. I love the way he infuses blues, Cash, Jennings, Ramones & The Stones into the SD sound....very cool! Call it punk...call it cowpunk...or just really good fucking rock and roll.
I remember literally being at the end of my rope with alcohol and losing everything and everyone..I would listen to this song and wished I would someday overcome and be happy but never had hope and now I'm two years sober and married ,working full time with a home and a car and so happy! I listen to this now and still can't believe it! Rip Chalo
this song is so inspiring I don't know why SD is not considered a all time great artist or even reconized by critics I believe there one of the most underated artists of all time
Because things that are true and honest never get recognized by the masses. I personally enjoy it very much that way. Let the sheep keep their commercial no-brain shit. :)
That's because the one's who make that determination are all corporate facist dickheads, including the critics. who are the one's responsible for all the current bullshit commercial music that's played on the radio. It is a mind fuck to keep you in control Fuck them. Who cares. I think I would be concerned it they did consider them one of the all time great bands. With Soc D the only one's that matter are us. If other people don't get it then that's their loss, and a great loss it is.
love the lyrics.. I feel down on my luck.. but i will keep it moving.. soul searching.. I am wide awake now.. looking for my peace.. so let the angel wingz carry me away.. love the lyrics..
This is song has gotten me thru some difficult times , during my dark n heavy Heroin addiction, I came across this song.... It hits a deep nerve, like all Social Distortion songs, you can a pick a song to match that moment of your life... 40 years old, dealing with alcoholism and Heroin addiction, for the past 20, their music has brought alot of peace , during all the pain and hardships...
Amazing song. Love the original, but the acoustic really makes it set in for me. It will be on the list to be played when I pass on. Mike Ness is my hero. He really lets go with his emotions in all of his songs. Cant think of a single Social D song I have heard that hasn't hit me at a certain part of my life. While this song is sadder and brings tears, it's also inspiring in a way. Makes me want to do everything I can to give others hope.
Social D is popular because they Feel it. When a band does, their fans will, too and they'll stick with them. I hate how people write off Bad Religion and Social Distortion as "popular" so it must suck. They both make awesome songs
My husband passed in May and I played this at his service beautiful song I listen to it almost daily.... he loved it and I will always remember his smile when we listened to this
In July I'll have been sober for 6 years. I almost slipped up and relapsed but a beautiful and caring woman, who genuinely loves and cares about me came into my life. She saved me from falling back into my old ways, by giving me something to stay sober for. Some of y'all may not believe in God or Heaven. But I've walked through Hell, and an angel kept me from going through it again.
Nothing wrong being an alcoholic or heroin addict at all. I am one my self but I am in recovery. Just keep it in the day guys and keep doing the right best thing. I have almost 2 years sober meetings and a good sponsor helps
I lost my wife a week ago. This was one of our favorite songs to listen to. I even had it as her ring tone when she called me. We were both down on our luck when we met and turned into an almost 3 and a half year relationship.
This version was played at my best friends funeral 7 years ago, and this is the first time I've been able to listen to this version since then. Once again, I'm facing hard times, at what's supposed to be, and is, the most beautiful time of my life: I'm expecting my first kid, my daughter, with my girlfriend. Once again, SD music is with me again after all these years. "Hold back your fears, let go your tears.."
My Mike Bellini told me once. When you hear this song. I'm there. He is gone now. I cry 😭 so much when I hear this song now. He was my life, my world my baby daddy ❤️ I miss him
Been listening to this song for years now. One of my favs. Kind of weird how the lyrics strike me but I remember a moment my wife and I had when we first met and when I’m gone it brings me back. I’m out serving US and every time I’m away I listen to it and it makes me smile and feel peace.
My mom always liked social distortion she liked Mike's tattoos and thought he was cute songs like these remind me of her and make me smile and cry at the same time
this song speaks beyond volumes!!! it's about passion, grace, and escaping the battles of society and this time here called life... is definitely soul saving!!
I have listened to social d for almost twenty years now and believe you would be hard pressed to find another band that can cover such a large array of emotions/ subjects in there music the same way as Mike Ness does... they put on awesome concerts at small venues.. good prices.. for those who are new and like what you hear... look up ' Mike Ness under the influence '
You say you're down on your luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your fears you say you're really down and out and you feel like there's no way out now let go now let go of your tears some more How many times have you asked yourself is this the hand of fate that I've been dealt? you're so disillusioned this can't be real and you can't stand now the way you feel I don't care about what they say I won't live or die that way tired of figuring out things on my own angel's wings won't you carry me home You say you're down on your luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your fears and when you're really down and out and you feel like there's no way out now let go now let go of your tears some more You say you're down on your luck hey baby, its a long, long way up hold back now, hold back your fears and when you're really down and out and you feel like there's no way out now let go now let go of your tears some more I triumphed in the face of adversity and I became the man I never thought I'd be and now my biggest challenge, a thing called love I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was I don't care about what they say I'm gonna marry you some day go ahead and wake up, its a brand new day Angel's wings gonna carry you away Angels wings are going to carry me away angels wings are going to carry us away
My wife and I danced to this at our wedding. It's unreal the meaning it has to me. S.D. all time favorite hands down. Real life music. Feel the pain don't cover it up.
What's amazing about this song is that it relates to life in all ways . Angel wings brought Me to a beautiful place a real home and LOVE. Love that I never knew and that was for myself . Loving others all my life but never truly loving myself . I've got a beautiful church and faith with Me and I'm growing every day. Tears this song has meant something to me threw out and even more so now !
my daughter...1st born....died at 7 weeks...Her Mom and i were 19....her middle name is Angela...i play this song and think of what her life might have been like, ...that 9 months and 7 weeks sure changed mine....FLy my Angel!. 💔
Love this song, and I'll say again now what i've said many times before, this is the greatest band in the world, me and my best friend saw them for the first time , early 90's, play with Neil Young, great show, we loved it, and never looked back, thanks guys, thanks Mike.
This song was my life so many hard times it makes me said to think a child had to live the way I did so if any kids ever see this post trust me your are worth every breath someone out there is looking to be your friend so hold on
"I triumphed in the face of adversity and I became the man I never thought I'd be and now my biggest challenge, a thing called love I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was" Holy shit this hits me hard...like a punch to the chest... makes me well-up everytime.
This song sounds like it's about a person living a somewhat of a rollercoaster life and becoming a better person because of it. Really inspirational and happy tune actually
Started a company, it was hard... the only thing that kept me going was a baby girl in the old lady's womb and this song.. thought about some shit... and we'll out became the man I never thought I'd be...thank you Mike Ness and Social Distortion
This evening I was at the store and the man behind me in line was commenting on the patches I made on my jacket. We were talking about the bands and he was telling me how he saw the singer of Rancid play with Dead Kennedys at Warped Tour (back in a date I forget exactly but it was before I was born, 1999) and he's seen Bad Religion perform. He was telling me how he saw another band but couldn't remember the name...he was trying to remember and even said 'the singer's name is Mike Ness' and 'they're one of the big bands' and 'they made that song Angel's Wings'.... We said our goodbyes and went our ways. Now I feel kinda stupid... I know this song, I grew up on it just like I did with all of Social D. I just didn't know this song's name and I've never been good with band member's names. Anyway, that's my story. I'm glad I found this song again and that man I met was pretty cool, I love hearing people's stories about bands on my jacket.
at the precipice of a wasted 53 years. Lost my sunshine at 17 five years ago.my hard working youngest 22 now is the light in my grandsons eyes and vice versa He is a good man with big heart.I.havent been cleen since I was twelve. that has changed.started learning guitar this is my first song I learned. thanks for staying wit me SD.
Awesome. Song myself Love of life pass at 47. this song. makes me feel him still after 8 long years. Love& think about our angel's he call me his angel Thanks👼🌟✌💕💌💋💔
stressing about so many things recently and just introduced to Social D about a month ago. attended one of their concerts recently and am addicted. and, same as everyone else, this song definitely helps for dealing with things
To all who have lost the loved one the were going to spend the rest of their lives with... I know. We get up everyday missing something but we continue on. Thanks SD/Mike Ness for putting our lives into words
The most amazing underrated band ever. What other punk band has such amazing inspirational well-thought-out lyrics!! Although this is my favorite they have several songs that just absolutely touch me
I went to see them at The House of Blues. This was their finale. I was in the mosh pit, having a blast trying to get my mind off the guy I ran with for three-and-a-half years. When they got to the verse, "I don't care about what they say I'm gonna marry you someday," somebody in the mosh pit socked me straight in the head and put me on the ground lol. I think that was the moment I finally accepted that we were never written in the stars.It was a bittersweet concert. Good memories
Mike: only guy I wouldn't joke around about wearing eye liner lol. you guys rock, and just look at all the people you touch. god bless you, and keep kicking ass
Been through: alcohol, drugs, depression, death (wife) and everything. I'm sixty years old, 20 years in recovery, workout every day, and look younger than my peers.
For all that feel hopeless, and need a drug or alcohol, hold on everyday. It slowly gets tolerable. Please, please don't on quit on life.
Try and try again!! Thanks
Buddy, I wish the best for you. This son is for the most of us.

Arguably one of the best songwriters of ANY movement.
I was literally just thinking that myself. Mike Ness one of the greatest lyricist/songwriters ever
Fa sho
The emotion in his voice when he says is "I've been dealt" is incredible! Mike knows how to bring tears to the eyes!
fate is a MF

When you just gotta laugh & realize it is in fact the hand you've been dealt. Triumph in the face of adversity anyways. Best feeling.

One of the best acoustic songs ever...and how many people will never know about Mike Ness? what a rock and roll God
If this song doesnt move you...I dont wanna know you.
Deep deep song. Not for all I guess. But for those of us!!!
I second this
It moves people who been Through a lot. And definitely moved me helped get through my depression

Exactly. Ness is a lyrical genius. Graffin is god but Ness is a very close 2nd. Every thing he writes about is true to life...

Ain't that the truth...
been sd fan since 1996.. they played live in finland back in 2010.. went to c the band with my step daughter.. one of the best live gigs evr seen,..
I lost my wife a week ago. This was one of our favorite songs to listen to. I even had it as her ring tone when she called me. We were both down on our luck when we met and turned into an almost 3 and a half year relationship.
one of 3 songs that got me through the darkest part of my life.. always love and respect these guys for writing this masterpiece
don't know much about this version but it is one of the best non studio recordings made by Ness

You say you're down on your luck
hey baby, its a long, long way up
hold back now, hold back your fears
you say you're really down and out
and you feel like there's no way out now
let go now let go of your tears some more
How many times have you asked yourself
is this the hand of fate that I've been dealt?
you're so disillusioned this can't be real
and you can't stand now the way you feel
I don't care about what they say
I won't live or die that way
tired of figuring out things on my own
angel's wings won't you carry me home
You say you're down on your luck
hey baby, its a long, long way up
hold back now, hold back your fears
and when you're really down and out
and you feel like there's no way out now
let go now let go of your tears some more
You say you're down on your luck
hey baby, its a long, long way up
hold back now, hold back your fears

I triumphed in the face of adversity
and I became the man I never thought I'd be
and now my biggest challenge, a thing called love
I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was
I don't care about what they say
I'm gonna marry you some day
go ahead and wake up, its a brand new day
Angel's wings gonna carry you away
Angels wings are going to carry me away
angels wings are going to carry us away
Thankyou! 🙏😇
My wife and I danced to this at our wedding. It's unreal the meaning it has to me. S.D. all time favorite hands down. Real life music. Feel the pain don't cover it up.
What's amazing about this song is that it relates to life in all ways . Angel wings brought Me to a beautiful place a real home and LOVE. Love that I never knew and that was for myself . Loving others all my life but never truly loving myself . I've got a beautiful church and faith with Me and I'm growing every day. Tears this song has meant something to me threw out and even more so now !
my daughter...1st born....died at 7 weeks...Her Mom and i were 19....her middle name is Angela...i play this song and think of what her life might have been like, ...that 9 months and 7 weeks sure changed mine....FLy my Angel!. 💔
Love and strength, stranger. You and she and yours are loved. Promise.
This is always my go to song to this day when I feel pretty low
It's a great song by a great band.....Stirs emotions hidden in your darkest places

the word 'awesome' is not enough to describe this song.

Oh my God, that just tore my heart out. So touching. I'm just plain awestruck by the wonder of it all. Thank you.
Social D is one of the few bands I can listen to pretty much there whole discography all day and keep on enjoying track after track.
This evening I was at the store and the man behind me in line was commenting on the patches I made on my jacket. We were talking about the bands and he was telling me how he saw the singer of Rancid play with Dead Kennedys at Warped Tour (back in a date I forget exactly but it was before I was born, 1999) and he's seen Bad Religion perform. He was telling me how he saw another band but couldn't remember the name...he was trying to remember and even said 'the singer's name is Mike Ness' and 'they're one of the big bands' and 'they made that song Angel's Wings'.... We said our goodbyes and went our ways. Now I feel kinda stupid... I know this song, I grew up on it just like I did with all of Social D. I just didn't know this song's name and I've never been good with band member's names. Anyway, that's my story. I'm glad I found this song again and that man I met was pretty cool, I love hearing people's stories about bands on my jacket.
Use to listen to this back in 2004. So glad I found it again.

Wow, first time hearing this song. I'm in love with it.
This has got to be one of the greatest things Mike Ness ever did. The lyrics are incredible.
stressing about so many things recently and just introduced to Social D about a month ago. attended one of their concerts recently and am addicted. and, same as everyone else, this song definitely helps for dealing with things
To all who have lost the loved one the were going to spend the rest of their lives with... I know. We get up everyday missing something but we continue on. Thanks SD/Mike Ness for putting our lives into words
This video got me through my crippling depression and raging alcoholism
I'm a super fan of these guys and I'm loving this song for the first tie hearing it
This song has saved my life so many times.
The most amazing underrated band ever. What other punk band has such amazing inspirational well-thought-out lyrics!! Although this is my favorite they have several songs that just absolutely touch me
Social distortion is a life style. More than music. Ness all day

This is the most beautiful song ever.
just down right wicked...your badass mike!
Aw. Gorgeous song.
Such a beautiful song 💕
I went to see them at The House of Blues. This was their finale. I was in the mosh pit, having a blast trying to get my mind off the guy I ran with for three-and-a-half years. When they got to the verse, "I don't care about what they say I'm gonna marry you someday," somebody in the mosh pit socked me straight in the head and put me on the ground lol. I think that was the moment I finally accepted that we were never written in the stars.It was a bittersweet concert. Good memories
Beautiful song. Helped carry me through difficult personal life changing, no family, no love. Life does go on, stay strong.
I really needed to hear this today. Shout out to my friend for sending this to me 🙏
Love this song
