What makes him special is that he sings with such pain in his voice. His beautifully written lyrics usually reflect the struggle too, and the bright light at the end.
Yup .
He didn't write this song its a cover lol
@Sci_ent_ifiC Sui_neG lmao
Jeffery Steele wrote this song, Aaron has given him due credit; Aaron sings the best rendition of the song though.
I met him probably 20 years ago at hfstival in DC when he was still with staind. He actually took a few smokes from me while I was on my way to a private session for Weezer. He was awesome.
Not a huge fan of Staind, but having seen damn near a thousand concerts, I can confidently say Aaron Lewis is one of the best live voices I've ever heard.
Still the best performance of this song 💜 who’s still here 10yrs later 🙌🏻🙌🏻 this man has the voice of instant chills always!! 🎶
I'm here again, in 2023
Daang you pretty!
That slide guitarist is a fucking BOSS.
That's Ben Kitterman I think he used to drive for Aaron He kicks ass !!
Truth!he really make the song pop
You mean he ate the boss
Ben Kitterman is an AMAZING dobro player. 😭
@@ATLTraveler you won't say that if you see him now, guy has lost a tonne of weight
Lost my husband to suicide recently. Your voice is incredible. I love your version of this song. Thank you.
I lost my dad to suicide. And all I can tell you is it does get better. He’s looking down upon you from heaven
@@mae.6664 I am so sorry for your loss. It must have been SO traumatic for you. Suicide is a profoundly different kind of loss and grief. May I ask how old you were? I am always available to listen. I give good advice, but my youngest son blames himself, and me. He takes his pain out on me now that he is back home (he was arrested for domestic violence against me, and didn’t talk to me for a year. Worked construction all day and did his school work in his little studio in the hood at night. I didn’t see him graduate...no one told me). He knows I will always love and forgive him. My oldest son, whom I raised alone for his 1st 8 years, hasn’t spoken to me. Got married and didn’t invite my youngest and I. I suspect his wife is pregnant now, and I won’t see my grandchildren.
I lost everything. My sons both blame me. I even lost all 3 of my dogs. I am a strong, but disabled Veteran. I have coping skills, but my boys...He did this FOUR days before the bday my youngest son and I share. It was my sons 18th. Any advice? He refuses therapy. I plan on trying one more time before he joins the military (he has a warrior’s heart like his Mom, but his is broken). I just want him in a good place before he moves on.
I am very sorry for your loss, I lost my wife and 2 daughters, I feel for your loss, I understand
@@canadaiswatching I am so sorry for your loss. Both sons hate and blame me, but my youngest is more like me, so he is “back”. I CANNOT imagine your pain. I am so, at a loss to even find words. It is a different kind of pain, I will say that. This terrible club we didn’t ask to be in, and sour reward for being strong is to lose everything?? I wish you only joy and peace, and I will personally punch anyone who tells you to “be strong” right in the throat! 😝😝😝. I KNOW you’ll get it! Feel free to cry on my shoulder, or plot “pretend tortuous deaths” to people who think they “get it”. Hell, I don’t get it and I’m in the middle of it. Your loss is something I hope to never experience, but I will be your giggle-cry buddy. I don’t even know when I’m going to do either sometimes. 🤪🤪
Got your back Canada!
@@theotherside5253 I don't wish to reopen your wounds and make the pain of your husband's suicide any worse for you, and I'm really sorry that he decided to do that, but what was the back and forth of the situation in the lead up to your husband's death, for context?
I always loved this song when Jeffery Steele sung it, but Aaron makes it real and makes me feel it! I lost my wife this past Sunday 1/14/24 and can’t stop listening to this and crying. Thank you Aaron for pouring your heart into this song!
Nothing anyone says right now will help you... but know you're not alone. I lost my son a couple weeks ago... this song hits hard. You're here for a reason. Stay.
Go cold with this song
I would love to see him
Don't give this man shit for covering a song. He gives a perfect performance all the time without any help from voice effects. He is by far one of the best male singers in country and rock!
Just lost my wife 3 months ago...today's our 14th year anniversary, and it sucks to be here knowing she's somewhere better!
All love brother
So very sorry for your loss.. life is too short
😭
The guy playing slide guitar..omg! So much talent! Killing it!
BEST. COVER. EVER!
In Aaron cover you can hear: pain, tears, broken heart- all passion.. This guy are just a LEGEND !!!
9 Years lates- Still love Aaron and he's music
this song is dedicated to the man who raised me the man who was the only father I ever had my grandfather...I miss you so much thanks for showing how to be a man :')
I think of my pawpaw every time I hear this also 😭😭
Fax
🤍
Aaron's gift to music has always been under appreciated.
Time does not heal everything. Sometimes you get hurt so badly that it changes you forever. That is the challenge of life, to hold on tight and let go at the same time, with love in your heart, with joy in your heart, over and over again. That is what makes people decent. Love people fearlessly and let them know what they mean to you. If you don't then you are not living right. You don't get a second go at life and people don't live forever. Aaron Lewis is the fucking man.
Exactly couldnt have said it better.Time does NOT heal everything
wise words
so true....damn i see myself in youre words
what if you love a married person? .. sometimes you just have to bury it....
Wow!!!! Say it like it is
What is crazy is he still smokes and still has the range and strength in his vocals.
There are literally thousands of great singers who smoke and still have range and strength.
Never really thought much of this song until i heard Aaron cover it, really puts his emotions in it and makes the song 10x better
So true.
Even as an 18 year old farm boy, this version by Aaron makes me break right down and cry. Beautifully sung.
No one has more passion in their voice than Aaron. You can feel the pain.
There is more feeling put into this song by Aaron than Rascal Flatts has ever put into any of their own songs. Gives me chills every time.
True, but it’s not a Rascal Flatts song. It’s a Rick Steele song written about his teenage son dying in an ATV accident while they were riding. Check out the original.
@@Bendsteinberger isn't it Jeffery Steele?? Also it ended up being more emotional for him singing it bc of that but that wasn't the inspiration, his son passed many years after him writing the song..I remember seeing an interview with him where he explains how it came about and that "what hurts the most" came by accident when he screwed up the lyrics lol imagine if he hadn't ✌️
this in my opinion is one of the greatest live performances of all time. it's a damn shame that the crowd didn't feel the same. the disrespect for musical art is a shame.
Dude is killin' it with the Dobro and slide!! Love it.
His name is Ben Kitterman.
He's bad ass.
love acoustic shows where he is present.
he is good.
The thing that i love about Aaron Lewis is that he sounds the same on record as he does when he performs live. It really goes to show you that he's different from all the other "country" singers (thats in quotes cause the amount of autotune they use makes them a pop star, not a country music singer) out there that autotune the shit out of their music and then they get on stage and they sound like crap cause they can only sing on the record. Love this song. Love this guy. Love his overall persona.
I saw Arron live when I was 16. Staind was opening up for Live. No one even really knew who they were. It was such an amazing time. I got in so much trouble when I got home bc I wasn’t suppose to go. Lol. It was worth it. I’d love to see them again and him sing this song.
This song nearly brings me to tears. Recently got out of a relationship that was toxic for both of us. But hearing this song just tears me up inside... because Loving her was what I was trying to do. I still wish her all the love and happiness this world has to offer.
I feel that man
Aaron has covered almost all of my favorite rock songs and done all of them to perfection. He's extremely talented and simply one of the best today in my eyes.
I could listen to this man sing every day for the rest of my life and would never get sick of it. One of my all time favorites is his song he wrote for his daughter, and because of that song I named my daughter Zoe Jane. I hope that he is still touring when she is old enough to appreciate concerts, because I really want to take her to one of his some day.
Aaron is hands down my favorite singer of all time. I used to say songs (or artists) are like my kids, I love them all equally because each one brings something different and special to the table that helps them shine in that moment. Then this cat came along and not only shows up the music industry when they said he can't go from Staind to country with the flip of a switch but own it like a boss! Then does countless covers of other bands with a wide range of genres and just smokes it. This dude could sing the phone book and tickets would still sell out in a heartbeat.
My father also died in 2005 of Lung Cancer he died Nov. 16th...and this song it brings back those memories...there is not a day that goes by that I dont think of him...you never really get over it you just have to carry on untill we get to be with them again it sucks I was a daddy's girl and it is so hard not being able to talk to him or even hug him the last words I heard from him was I Love You and he told me lol if you cant be good be good at it
This will forever be THE BEST VERSION of this song!! I’m so glad I found this version years ago!! Aaron Lewis has one of the best singing voices of all time 😍😍
The passion and feeling that Aaron Lewis portrays while singing this song gives me the chills...
I had this downloaded off iTunes for years and then it disappeared . No longer on any platform & it’s a shame bc Aaron Lewis’ version is way better! This man can make you feel every lyric of every song he sings.
If I could hang out with anybody on this earth for just 1 day,.. it would be Aaron Lewis! Amazing artist, and so real, and down to earth! 👍
Voice like velvet and Peter Griffin is playing that slide guitar like he is at the gates of heaven
Ummm..Ben Kitterman, not Peter Griffin on the slide guitar. Ben is a bad ass slide guitar player.
Dude ... that's low..
I couldn't have said it better!
That so called Peter griffen has probably accomplished more than u ever will and aaron lewis would punch u in the mouth for talking shit about his friend.
Ben kitterman drove the bus is now a rock star
He put Rascal Flatts to shame. I don't give a fuck if this is their song...not anymore. This man can sing the Fucking phone book and dictionary and make it sound wonderful. Goosies all day.
Becky Taylor Jeffery Steele wrote this song, But when Aaron Lewis does one of your songs, its not your song anymore...
Lewis Brookins For sure!!!!! Every single cover he's done...is better than the original!!!!!!!! Love AL!
+Lewis Brookins agreed
AMEN I said the same earlier
You are so right ;)
Aaron Lewis is so under rated. In so many talent related facets
thank GOD he never sold his soul to the devil, this is why he is so great
One of the most beautiful and touching songs Jeffrey Steele has wrote , Aaron Lewis does the song with great respect he's amazing !
my ex bf listened to this song for days. we almost never were happy together, but i adored to lay silently with you and listened to this song... i know that you read youtube comments sometimes. i`m trying to be happy single mother with our daugher, i`m trying to hold on. but now i`m writing this whinigs down and crying my soul out. i will always love you, but i never say it to you in person. so much damage was done... be happy, mister.
I'm glad to hear you are serving your country. I wish I could. As for Love, it hurts, but if it's meant to be, they'll be waiting or they'll work with the duty and make things work. I'm almost 30 and still searching. Lost someone I fell in love with due to my own addictions and depression,
Hats off to you Aaron put you amongst the greatest musical artist of all time
Agreed! Best vocalist of all time
Aaron just nails EVERYTHING he does. Every genre, every emotion, every song. I'm not a big country fan, but Aaron might change my mind.
this is legit the best version of this song you sing. not even the other ones in studio compare to this
I heard this for the first time today, Feb 19, 2013. I think of my mother when I hear this song sung by Rascal Flatts. Hearing it sung by the guy who sang "It's Been a While" and "For You" and all the songs on Break the Cycle - wow. Because that is exactly what I am trying to do - break the cycle of abuse. I harbor no ill will towards my abuser - she "...did the best (s)he could for me..."
Listened again for the 18383723747228 time
Aaron you guided me through my teenage years and helped me through the hardest breakup in my adult life. Blessed to say I've found my one and only... Aaron... Staind... I salute you
Ty
i just love the rawness in his voice. He can sing anything
I think its safe to say that Aaron Lewis can own any song in existence, & make it his own
WELL SAID. He’s brilliant.
Not sure why Aaron never actually covered this for an album. He sings it better than anyone else who has touched this song. I’m just here trying to mend my heart after a breakup and Aaron’s emotion singing this helps.
This guy's vocals is hard to match. This man can sing any genre and kill it every time
Arron Lewis has a voice that everyone knows by hearing him sing or play his music
I'm glad he made a come back and didn't just fade away. Changing genre was really the best thing for him.
He didn't change genres he branched out. Rock got him where he is today but he's always had country roots. He excels with any music he decides to play, he didn't give up rock.
Rock and Country... I mean that is two genres he has done. He can see him excelling at electronica, reggie or rap.
Matthew Vallee He did a cover of Bring the Noise with Fred Durst and DJ Lethal and kicked ass at it lol...Aaron can seriously do anything!
Give me the name of the song
No it wasn't. Love me some Staind. Always.
i seen this in concert a couple years ago, going through some shit, I heard it played by rascal flats, and never gave it a second thought, but when aaron lewis sang it, I completely stood still and was totally quiet, to this day it still gets to me, even though all that has passed
The transformation of his steel guitarist / slide and bus driver is pretty awesome.
Watching this and after something more recent will make you wonder if it’s the same guy. I’m guessing he found his groove and is loving it.
What a fucking great singer, truly. Hats off to you Aaron, what a voice you are. Just don't wanna listen to this particular song too long, cuz the lyrics tear at an old wound real bad.
same
Yup. :(
I’m sorry for your wound. I find listening to the hardest songs brings me the most relief…or maybe that’s the Jim Beam! 😁😁😁😁. I AM serious about wishing you freedom from the pain, peace and joy.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN..... Seriously listening to him and a couple of other artists has been the ONLY way Ive been able to get thru each day since my daughter Catrina Ann was murdered by her boyfriend on Dec 27th 2015. She was my only child and unfortunately due to bad choices I missed out on a big part of her beautiful life of 23 yrs. But she was snatched away before I could make amends and start fresh. She left behind a son Mason who was 3 at the time and is now going to be 8. Anyways listening to AARON LEWIS and various others I have been able to get thru, sometimes its song to song and other times its verse to verse but I get thru. NO IT DOESNT GET EASIER, NEVER WILL THAT HAPPEN BUT YOU LEARN HOW TO LIVE DAY TO DAY WITH THE WEIGHT AND PAIN OF THE TRAGIC LOSS. SO THANK YOU AARON LEWIS FOR HELPING A HEART BROKEN MOM DEAL WITH THE LOSS OR HER BEAUTIFUL 23 YR OLD DAUGHTER ( NOW WHO'D BE ALMOST 28 YEARS OLD) .
Tammy Huerta I’m so sorry for your loss hun. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Losing a child is something no parent should have to endure. Sending prayers your way! This hurts my heart for you. I have children and I can’t imagine what you’re going through😭😭
@@southerngal9087 thank you believe me its the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. NO PARENT SHOULD HAVE TO BURY THEIR CHILD EVER ITS SUPPOSE TO BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Believe me the main treatment I've taken in huge doses has been MUSIC...seriously and all of my gratitude and thanks goes to AARON LEWIS, CHRIS CORNELL, CHESTER BENNINGTON ( may they both R.I.P also) and a few other great artists.
You know just when you think it isnt possible to endure anymore pain and bam life goes and tries to break you even more than you already are. But life fails to realize that some of us get stronger from all this crap and we just learn to live in the pain day after day.
Thank you for your kind words and obvious feelings of concern. I'll make it thru but I anxiously await for my own departure because thats when Ill be happy once again knowing I'll see my beautiful Girl.
Tammy Huerta yeah girl, music has gotten me through some very dark times, but nothing you are having to go through. You don’t have to thank me girl! That’s just who I am, I am so sorry you’re going through all of this. Just know there are people out there that do care whether they know you personally or not. If you ever need to talk or anything, I’m a great listener. I know you won’t ever get over the death of your daughter, but sometimes talking helps make you feel better❤️
@@southerngal9087 thank you very much its good to know that theres still good ppl in this world. If only there were more like you the world would be a much better place
The difference between a good singer, and a really good one is all in "feeling"... If you can feel what you're singing it takes you to a whole higher level... Aaron definitely FEELS what he is singing .. every song
This song destroys me I just lost my wife of almost 10 years and the things I wish I could of told her this song chills my soul
🙏🫵♥️🫵
That part at 3:41 in the middle of that other guy's solo,i get goose bumps all over my body..just amazing..
Aaron Lewis is so amazing. Can play all genres, all styles, and can sing hard, soft whatever. Amazing musician.
The original is alright, but I think Aaron Lewis puts so much soul and feeling into this song and makes it sound a lot less like a pop song.
Literally gave me goosebumps. Aaron lewis is my favorite singer ever!
Aaron is the best out there.
I can relate to his music.
Can't wait to see him for the second time. Once in Florida and coming up in Baltimore Maryland (RAMS HEAD LIVE)
He has the most amazing voice...this song has been life changing for me...Thank you Aaron!
2013-2022 & -STILL- play this song as loud as possible!! with out a doubt have single handily listened to this song more times than most all... Aaron has been a huge part of my every day life since he came out with -Outside feat. Fred Durst- Huge impact in my life...
Aaron? I love your vital emotion. I never thought I’d like this song so raw but it bleeds pain and earnestness. I’ve followed Staind forever you have been my port in the storm for rage or helpless emotion. Thanks for doing this cover. If you ever read this 😢🙃🦋
This man improves on every cover he does. Incredible.
I have been a fan of Aaron for 20 years 😍😍 I have seen him 3 times this last year. And many of his Staind concerts. If you have a chance go see him!!! He puts on a damn good show 🤘 He's putting on a show with Disturbed ugh I wish I could go!! 🥺 Disturbed started out in my hometown. I was in the Disturbed video Down the sickness 🤘🤘
this guy will be my favorite singer for the rest of my life, no doubt about it
Aaron Lewis is amazing. The voice of a god, and looks of an angel. There is not one song he will ever sing that I won’t love.
some hurts are not meant to heal its always there to remind us
So true! This song could be the story of the breakup of my marriage, and subsequent divorce. Had it not occurred, we would have been married twenty-one years, yesterday! I believe the anniversary of the now end of my marriage (versus it's continuation) hurts, in part, to remind me of my mistakes.
bhap villa if that's the case.... I have a great ass memory then... I'm being reminded every day... and wish it would end..
@@marabethf7263 just keep figthing my friend and learn from those mistakes
Gold .. :-(
Marabeth F yeah .. it is what it is .... serenity courage wisdom eh?
What hurts the most? Listening to this version of this song on this video that my dad used to listen to, and then missing him like crazy because he's gone. :( Love you, Daddy.
ugh. straight through my heart. this song always broke my heart and Aaron's voice has a way of making me emotional.
i love how he can hit such hit notes with such a deep voice....its very impressive
so many emotions in his voice
My first concert I fell in love with the way Staind performed most for the reason Aaron Lewis changed my life without his words he sang and way you could hear it in his voice I would have choose a different path I'm proud to say that Aaron Lewis helped me join the military and do 11 years that involved 9 deployments so at 34 I still have that kid feeling of just one guitar lesson from him....God bless Aaron Lewis and I love my U.S.A
Give it up for Aaron Lewis to completely leave you emotionally close to this wonderful cover.
I love his music u can feel the pain in his voice and you can feel that passion that he puts into all of his work
I love Aarons version of this song!!!
This cover has gotten me through so many hard times its actually crazy. Respect man.
Vermont born & raised musician here...love it. Amen! I listened to all you said in the last two songs...all true, real and man...I can relate. 6th generation Vermonter here...played from east to west, Austin to Chicago. Still trying. Two bullets later...and I’m still standing...still playing. Thanks for the hope! I wish you success Aaron. Truly. Ian Rhein...
Lewis made a great choice when with the hire of this gentleman to accompany him on tour!
renae finkbeiner he was his bus driver
Best cover ever!!! Hits me in the feels every time ❤😔
Still as good today as it was back then. Aaron my brother, thank you for the great Music amd all the help you give to Vets. - Forever a Fan.
He can sing anything
Aaron is the best live performance. ❤️
Rascal flats didn't put enough emotion in this song. It sounds so much better when it's sung slower and I just love Aron's voice you can feel the song even if it's a happy song. Aron is an amazing song writer and singer I hope I get the chance to meet him in person one day.
Jarrod Ferry Not just more emotion.. he slowed it down and gave the song what it deserves... RF just rushed it.
UltimateMischief I agree. Slowing it down gave it so much power. Says a lot about those slow songs.......
Aaron lewis is a song writing genius. He is a person who has dealt with pain and writes his songs based off it. And i have met him and have gotten to know him.
Aaron Lewis, ur lurics relate to my life in so many ways. U are a big part of my life. Thank u....
Lol it's hilarious that people think he wrote this song
wow, I just went through the entire roster of people who did this songwritter's song and then I get to this one. And it's the first version that I think matches the emotional aspect of the lyrics perfectly. I can't believe I'm saying this but Arron Lewis just impressed me.
GOSH DAMNIT ! This mans voice is yummy!!! Loved him since staind . Loved rascal flats version BUT Aaron’s voice made it 1000 times better ! He’s like a drug you just can’t get enough of! 😍😍😍
Absolutely incredible version of this song!
This guy is deep man! Rascall Flats who? Word up!
people keep saying Rascal who....are you kidding me?!? Gary from RF is one of the greatest singers you will ever hear, show some respect.
I cant stop listening to this song; Aaron's voice seems to cut straight to the core of me. All I think about when I hear this is "her"..... AMAZING SONG!!!!!
I loved Aaron with Staind. Seeing them live, my favorite moments were when he'd pull up a stool & break out the acoustic guitar. Simply amazing & beautiful! Love the country crossover! Many have tried, few have succeeded like Aaron.
this was legit, i missed his staind music though...good to see him still kicking it
By far the best vocalist of this generation. He's absolutely amazing. Recommend going to one of his shows. Seen him 3 times since he went solo. And 7 times with Staind. Awesome.
When i need something to make me feel better or feel like I'm not alone i can listen to his music because he pours his heart into the lyrics and the words pierce my soul... Love
this is my favorite version of this song
Dude on the Dobro is a beast. Awesome Performance !!
flyinsossers That Dobro gave me so many chills throughout the song...
+flyinsossers Seriously. What a boss.
+flyinsossers use to be his fuckin tour bus driver, crazy shit!
+Ep0nz thats insane. Dude is the shit on that flat top. Awesome. Going to see them tonight at Billy Bobs in Fort Worth
+Ep0nz And now he is the premier flat top player in country. Not a bad place to be, right?
Hands down greatest voice of all time. Thank you .
just want to say you and rascal flatts did awesome on this song. not going to compare you guys together cause you both put people in tears on this song. great work man...
absolutly love this version
