Could u imagine them coming around with this song in the early 90's when grunge was really starting to take off?? They would have been up there with Pearl Jam, Soul Asylym, Alice in Chains, Nirvana etc.
This is my official 2020 anthem from this moment forward. I've always been a social outcast, so being forced to keep my distance from people is just business as usual for me. This world can't bring me down cause I'm already here.
Dude i listened to this when quarantine started and I forgot how raw n real it is. This song saved my life when i was like 12😹 and it still gives me goosebumps 14 yrs later 🙌🤯
@@crysylynn4225 4 yrs off dope now..no relapse but thank you..its possible & takes alot of strength..im lucky i beat the odds..pray for everyone going through it
@@scottwilson5020 👍 always good to hear a success story, and now this song will have more meaning, at least for me. I hope it, and other ones, will be able to provide the same help to others. It's not an easy fight.
Watching the footage of this made it enormously more sad to me to know that Matt is no longer with us. I'll always love this album a lot. Rest well, Matt. :(
My favorite 3 Doors Down song man! This song reminds me of how strong I really am from within inside of myself. That's why it means so much. 3 Doors Down will always be my favorite band! Forever live the legends of the 2000's!!!!!
This is my theme song in life! The words couldn’t be more perfect or true :-) I’ve listened to them so many years, my grown kids now love them. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent w/us all.
"So you call this your free country, tell me why it costs so much to live" Even today that line sticks to me. The Better Life is the best album of the 20th Century, not even 3 Doors Down can top it.
My ex hubby and I were there!! What an AWESOME experience!! 3 times this song was performed! 😍 ex's fave band! Seen them twice this year!🥰 Love 3DOORSDOWN!! ❤
i love this freaking song,this is sooooo me love 3 doors down you guys are to me the greatest brought me through my lowest an im gonna be fine now...thank you
Once you hit 60 years old it's like I don't even want to think about it, I already had a stroke and know I could drop dead any day. Just hope I don't suffer.
Awesome tune, Great motivational message. I've been put through the ringer in the past two years but I won't duck and run because I'm not built that way!!!!
This songs lit my soul up like a bolt of energy, had to learn this one. GOT IT. Man fun to play, rocks, energy, and these guys are from same place I am. Near Pascagoula,. I even sound like him... Got that Vancleave, Gandbay souther sound. Add 2 Huges ^ Kettner amps, and I’m rocking 3DD.
@@manicpeaceangel5316 Blue Skys and hot as hell humidity. Im just a rocker who did not listen to 3DD enough to appreciate what they have done. Cream always rises to the top.
I love how this song isn't about being depressed and not doing anything about it.. it's looking back into darkness and saying I am going to fight.. I'm not gunna go quiet into the night
i told my dad one day how much i loved this song, and was trying to explain how i loved this one part, and he was like i dont care lol, i was being annoying lol
Its not always a masterpiece just because it wasn't played a million times over on the radio........who else thinks this is bad ass jam?
I always loved this song over 20 years.
My personal favorite from 3DD.
It wasn't even allowed to be played over the radio after the 9/11 attacks.
My favorite 3 doors down song! Agree, bad ass fits this song perfect!
They were ahead of their time. I saw them live - AMAZING. This song actually is my favorite.
Anyone from 2024 is here?

I was born in Mississippi

@@derrickthrash237 Escataba and Laurel
I was born in Belgium, allways loved this shit.
Almost 20 years later this is still an anthem.
Definitely, I live my life by these lyrics now that I understand them and it's not just a great song.
37yo checking in
Just saw them in concert a couple days ago and this was their first song they played. This band is great in person! They absolutely killed it!!!
Yes they sure are and they sure do, my favorite band of all time other then God smack
Even after a decade this song is still SO true!
Even after 2 decades this song still rings true!
This song really inspires. I've been through hell myself, almost gave up, but songs like this give me strength!! God bless 3 Doors Down!
quite possibly the best song ever made by 3DD
@James Bailey fax
The only good song by them.
Thier basically just one of many watered down bands after rock died in 97.
I would say if not then top 10

Talented, yet underrated band.
Tf do you mean underated, this band played at Trump's inaugeration.
Underated??? They were literally one of the biggest bands on the planet
4 platinum albums 11 number 1 hits hardly underrated lol
@@Kitkat3696 yea but their music now is not popular at all

I think the crazy part of this song is how much more relevant it is many years later.
@@KitsuneYojimbo many of their songs have been that way for me this year. It is scarily eery. But has gotten me through so much!
I absolutely love this song!!!
Criminally underrated.Banger. Their best imo.Shouldve been released as a single
Probably my favorite song of all time, it's just so powerful, feels like it gets in my soul
This song is beyond beautiful.
This world can turn me down but I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause I'm not built that way...
Everyone always mocked their most known songs
but this was their best imo
Out of all the hits this band has, this could be one of the biggest ignored treasures!!
Totally agree!
I was in a cover band and we played it quite a bit. One of favorites to sing.
This one and loser
Its a bit of a gem in their catalogue.
This song kicks all four corners of my arse
get yourself checked mate if you have corners in your ass
u might have herpititious
Far more than that.lol.
I love it.. I now prettier term Arse to Ass.. seems less offensive 😁😁😁
@@marciareliford6282 it means donkey

My mom used to play this album all the time . My favorite song from 3 doors down
I've been a 3 Doors Down fan since 2000. They rock out loud!!!
It doesn't get much better than this.
That's right, what an awesome song, my favorite song of theirs. Great band.
Great voice. Not to mention how good they sound live.
Shit,let alone the guitar part will blow you away..
They really do sound amazing live. Plus they have such a great time. Just good ole country boys
@@DaKaNgZ6 i never like live versions but they are beyond amazing live. It literally sounded like the CD
They are amazing live last time I seen them dude didnt even need to sing the crowd knew and stand word for word their whole set list
They sound awesome live , I saw them in Tulsa,Oklahoma and I had the best time of my life and can't wait to see them again
I think Brad is a BEAUTIFUL man inside and out ♥️ I love this band, they always put on a great show….saw them 8/28/21 in Maricopa, AZ 🤩

This is my favorite of all the songs they have done
My favorite #3DoorsDown song ever! I won't duck an run, 'cause I'm not built that way! #rip
#MattRoberts
i know this is the most underrated 3 doors down song
Thalia Wiggins

And Funko Pop figures
So I'm back here after 10 years as an adult and all the memories are flooding back 🥺
totally agree!! this song rocks, with sound, rhythm and meaning!!
I’m 30 years old now, I first heard this song when it came out my Dad bought the better life CD and would play it in his truck
This is my theme song in life! The words couldn’t be more perfect or true :-) I’ve listened to them so many years, my grown kids now love them. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent w/us all.
In my opinion The Better Life is 3 Doors Down's best album. R.I.P. Matt Roberts😐
I couldn't agree more very good and so underaded
3 Doors Down will always rock my world. Rock and Roll....
+Edie Booth im with you they are awesome 3 doors down and linkin park are the 2 best bands ever
2020 still listening
this is their best song, followed by "Down Poison".
avor 1.When I’m gone 2.When you’re young 3. Duck and run
1. When I’m gone 2. Loser 3. Duck and Run 4. Not My Time 5. Road I’m On
"So you call this your free country, tell me why it costs so much to live" Even today that line sticks to me. The Better Life is the best album of the 20th Century, not even 3 Doors Down can top it.
So happy I got to see these guys back when there was no thought of a virus stopping concerts
I forgot how talented this band was. Amazing musicianship!
I remember when they passed around their music at a concert I was at. This was the first song on it. Nostalgia is the best
VERY underrated song
Whole damn album is underrated! Every song is killller♡
I'm not built that way...
My ex hubby and I were there!! What an AWESOME experience!! 3 times this song was performed! 😍 ex's fave band! Seen them twice this year!🥰 Love 3DOORSDOWN!! ❤
