I heard this song featured on 911 lone star and I was like gotta Google this and really get the meaning of it. It was so much emotion in the deep grizzly voice with that heavy guitar pluck. Not even into this type of music but that amen was resounding.....A+ for this song
I honestly feel that this song will stand the test of time in the same way as Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah. The emotion that builds throughout the song is mesmerising and engulfs you in the song and feeling. An incredibly sad song that really makes you feel the music, utterly stunning. Thank you for gracing us with such a beautiful sound.
This song is so unbelievably beautiful and never fails to make me feel calm and at the same time, as though I'm two seconds away from breaking. Beautiful. The pain in his voice gets me every single time.
I understand you too! I am missing my mom a lot today and came across this song a few minutes ago. It hurts feeling the loss. Even though she passed a year ago it hurts just as bad as the day she died sometimes.
Saw them perform live in Austin TX a week ago and Joe performed this live. He said he didn’t like performing this song live, but he does it because he wrote the song for his grandfather, who passed away while he was on tour a couple of years ago. His live performance of Amen was of the most moving musical performances I’ve ever seen. Truly beautiful song & amazing band.
Came here from 9 11 lone star. I'm listening to this song and crying about my grandma and it's so insane cuz she is still alive. No one has ever loved me the way she did and does. I love her. I have mourned her a dozen times and she is still alive. Really don't know how to bear it when it becomes real. This song really cuts in deep. Very deep. Now...I will try and wipe my tears and watch some more.
This song is so powerful. But when I heard this live I literally bald my eyes out. It was in this very small venue and everyone was just silent. So moving and emotional. Thanks for making this version!!
i lost my dad 5 months ago. im only 19, and im not sure how to navigate the world without his advice. i miss him everyday, but this song always makes me feel like hes around, watching over me.
Lord I know the feeling, sometimes you'd go to Mom for advice but when you do it's just so different than what you're used to and then you hesitate and now you put so much thought in your decisions and it's just so lonely. Because I was so much closer to my Dad, and I'm guessing you were too? So all I can say is it'll be okay, maybe not soon, but eventually.
You guys, this is a reverent and spiritual experience in concert..he shared the story of this song and everyone in the audience was quiet and respectful. It was literally so beautiful.
@@lndiho he had lost his grandfather who he was very very close with. He just said how he’d put his thoughts about him being gone into a song and then started to play. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Thank you for crafting and wielding your sorrow into this masterpiece so each of us that have felt all encompassing grief have a way to put words to this feeling. Listened to this on repeat for MONTHS after a family member’s suicide. May all those we love no longer with us live on through our remembrance.
And are those real angels in the magazines? Oh, is there a heaven? You'd know now you've been Are those real stars that hang in the sky? Or are they man made? A trick of the light? Amen, Amen Amen And is there a God up there? 'So, where does he hide? 'Cause the devil is raging inside my mind And is there a moment where it all makes sense? When saying goodbye, doesn't feel like the end? Amen, Amen Amen Sometimes I can't help blaming you For leaving me here, what am I supposed to do? There's plenty of women, there's drink and there's drugs But we both know that won't be enough 'Cause I see you in the daytime, and I hear you at night There's a pale imitation burnt in my eyes I don't want to be here, I don't know what to do Sometimes I'd rather be dead, at least then I'm with you Amen, Amen Amen, Amen Amen, Amen Amen, Amen Amen
This song is asking honest questions to a God he's not sure is there. I've been there and He answered. Perhaps that wasn't the writer's intended meaning, but that is what it said to me.
The cherry on top for me is the genuine approach to perform this. It’s all in one take from one angle. None of that horrible lip-syncing or anything. This song gets me into tears every time.
I cry every time i hear this. I cried when it was first released, i cried when i heard it live the other night, I cried when i heard the backstory, I’m crying now. Its so powerful, so full of emotion and power. It’s one of the most important songs to me and i don’t think it will ever stop being so important.
I've loved this song a long time, but my dad was just diagnosed with an aggressive firm of cancer. He my best friend, and I'm lost. Thank you for this beautiful song that captures so much of this pain
So emotional, so beautiful and raw. Seeing this live was stunning, everyone was holding their breath and just listening to this. I remember having goosebumps throughout the whole song and being teary-eyed. It really was quite a moment.
Lost my dad 7 years ago and have never been able to handle the grief since I was so young when he died. Listening to these lyrics give me comfort knowing that I can be sad.
I lost my twin brother at 28 seven months ago and this song is exactly my feeling. Miss ya and always love you bro. I wish I didn’t have to carry on without you
It boggles me to no end that this only has 102k views and 4k likes, are people insane? Did 98k people fall into comas mid song? Because that's the only way to justify not giving this a like.
Ho conosciuto questa canzone per caso, poi ho iniziato a sentirla e risentirla, il fatto che mi accomuna al cantante è che lui fece questa canzone per il nonno appena morto e inizialmente non voleva pubblicarla. Io non avrò fatto una canzone, ma tutto quello che dice mi si addice a pennello. Mio nonno se n’è andato un anno fa, ma ancora oggi ho delle ricadute, mi fa male; ho perso una tra le persone più importanti della mia vita e non l’ho potuta neanche salutare. E questo mi brucia e mi logora piano piano dall’interno.
Wow many times have I had that conversation saying and meaning those exact words....very powerfully shared. I do not how many times I say to God what did I do, I know I must have really messed up to be stuck in this life. "Got the life"
Perfect! I agree with comment about the likeness to Jeff Buckley. Not so much in the similarity of the song, but in voice and ability to invoke emotion. A tone of Thom Yorke as well. A masterpiece!
This... this is absolutely wonderful 💓💫💓💎🌟 truly and deeply wonderful... I am literally in tears now, loving it to my core !!! 💓💎💓💎💓 This.. represents one of the true diamonds of life... may God bless your talent and strengthen your spirit 💓 so that you'll keep delighting the world with your wonderful melodies ✨💫✨💎🌟
I love artists/songs/ music that you can see/ feel (on every level) the core of this beautifully beloved Earth, crack wide open… while connected to the celestial realms via heart cadency. What tears at the core, beams to the sky. #strikesAChord basically
BROTHER I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO WHAT YOU JUST DID! Read if you feel this song as much as I do: I am a middle-class family raised teenager, who spends most of his time dreaming about sounds, and tones, and a guitar that I cannot afford. This song is so relatable as I can actually hear and see myself doing the exact same! You're doing what I love the most, present. I love this song so much I have chills. Thank you for this moment. 🥰 P.S. Excuse my English, it is not my first language. Lots of love to the reader 🥰
So many broken pieces So many broken lives as we make our road and trail known on this spinning ball we all try and piece this wall we make some complexity of the simple things gifted. we as the little we know make this journey trough stars and light as we meet the One again make the best you can with the little light you have left in this dark place we call us >>Mr OnniX
Jesus Loves you fam, your past does not matter to him. He does not judge you, He accepts you as you are. You should not change so that you can love God, You should change because God loves you fam ; He gave his only son for you. Jesus loves you. ~ Your broski in Christ
Great comment my dude. I would only add one thing: Jesus DOES judge us, but the great news is, if we believe in Him, He judges us innocent! We are clean, because He took our sin to the cross and died so we didn't have to. ~ another broski in Christ
@Pretzel Boggins Let me respond with this: a full transcript of the book of Isaiah was among dead sea scrolls (which were dated to have been written several hundred years before Jesus lived); the book of Isaiah happens to prophesy the coming of Jesus, ie. when he would come, where he would be born, how he would die, how his death atones for our sins. In other words, look up the messianic prophecies (Isaiah 53 is a good place to start, and it's not too long) and notice how Jesus fulfilled them all.
I feel everyone needs a hug after hearing this song.

Same here, I cried in that episode, you should listen to I found
I came running too and mahn!!!the way I cried!
Me too!!!
Same here
I did the same

This song never fails to make me emotional.
Idk why, but every single song from Amber Run give me peace and good feelings
Perfect .
Wtf?
This song is so unbelievably beautiful and never fails to make me feel calm and at the same time, as though I'm two seconds away from breaking. Beautiful. The pain in his voice gets me every single time.
"Sometimes I'd rather be dead, at least then I'm with you" i feel u 😢💖
faceless awesome stay strong, you are loved ❤️ I’m thankful amber run connects us with such beautiful songs
I know the feeling... that's the part that touches me most...

Sorry to hear, hugs
@@brandonjohn5130 thank you so much
You guys, this is a reverent and spiritual experience in concert..he shared the story of this song and everyone in the audience was quiet and respectful. It was literally so beautiful.
Can you please share the story? I'm sending this to a friend who suffered a great loss. That's what it means to me - about loss and questioning God
@@lndiho he had lost his grandfather who he was very very close with. He just said how he’d put his thoughts about him being gone into a song and then started to play. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
I don't wanna be here , I don't know what to do sometimes I'd rather be dead, at least then I'm with you....
I felt that. Miss my Grandma 🙁
my favorite song, it just hits me so hard every time.
Absolutely amazing how someone can put such words in a way that touch your heart and speak emotions you have been searching for.
The entire theater silent..... Joe rang proud and loud. Such a special song for him. Amen!
I need this version to be on spotify. I love the rawness of his voice and the feel of his emotions. It's so good.
It's on Spotify now
His VOICE!! My GOD! Even if the lyrics weren't enough to bring me to tears that voice would...wow.

And are those real angels in the magazines?
Oh, is there a heaven? You'd know now you've been

Amen, Amen
Amen
Sometimes I can't help blaming you
For leaving me here, what am I supposed to do?
There's plenty of women, there's drink and there's drugs
But we both know that won't be enough
'Cause I see you in the daytime, and I hear you at night
There's a pale imitation burnt in my eyes
I don't want to be here, I don't know what to do
Sometimes I'd rather be dead, at least then I'm with you
Amen, Amen

One of the most beautiful songs ever written
This song is asking honest questions to a God he's not sure is there. I've been there and He answered. Perhaps that wasn't the writer's intended meaning, but that is what it said to me.
This is the only one of your songs that makes me cry every time😢 it’s really beautiful💞💖
I saw this song live the other week, brought a tear to my eye as he said it was for his grandad who passed away a year and a half ago
Last year in concert he began the song saying "This is the song I wish I sang at my grandfather's funeral" or something like that. Hits hard my guy.
Funnily enough, it's the song I wish I had sang at my brother's funeral.
I would have sung it if I had known it had existed by then.
Exact same reaction when I saw them in Toronto, absolutely breathtaking.
If I have to go to Colorado to see Amber Live I will. His voice is everything ❤
Do it. The Bluebird is a magical place. P.s. it's a smaller venue, so it feels like you are hearing an intimate concert.
9-1-1 lone star S3 E8 brought me here ❣️.
We will ALWAYS love you Gwyn 😭💔
Lone Star 911 bought me here and I am so thankful it did.. Beautiful voice, song and lyrics.. 2022
The cherry on top for me is the genuine approach to perform this. It’s all in one take from one angle. None of that horrible lip-syncing or anything. This song gets me into tears every time.
This song gives me goosebumps every time he sings "sometimes I'd rather be dead at least then I'll be with you amen"
This pulls on heart strings….God fills our hearts with Love to feel… powerful
Thanks to 911- Lone star, I found this song! ❤️
I cry every time i hear this. I cried when it was first released, i cried when i heard it live the other night, I cried when i heard the backstory, I’m crying now. Its so powerful, so full of emotion and power. It’s one of the most important songs to me and i don’t think it will ever stop being so important.
I physically feel pain hearing this... tragically beautiful......💔
forgot about this song for a few years and rediscovering it an old playlist just now god im glad, this song is beautiful
i love this angel
My aunt passed away recently, and I feel this more now than ever. Thank you for your music.
I miss you, Carla.
This is the new Hallelujah of the new age. What a song wow!
I've loved this song a long time, but my dad was just diagnosed with an aggressive firm of cancer. He my best friend, and I'm lost. Thank you for this beautiful song that captures so much of this pain
One of my favorite bands, your music is so fluid and calming!!! Thank you Amber Run!!! You have helped me get through so much!!!
Love it, such an emotional song. I love how much passion and emotion you put into each of your songs. One of my favourite bands.
Had to Google after I heard this on 911 lonestar. From 2:00 min on... could loop dat over and over. That Amen at the end is amazing.
I love this song. The guitar is so beautiful
So emotional, so beautiful and raw. Seeing this live was stunning, everyone was holding their breath and just listening to this. I remember having goosebumps throughout the whole song and being teary-eyed. It really was quite a moment.
Lost my dad 7 years ago and have never been able to handle the grief since I was so young when he died. Listening to these lyrics give me comfort knowing that I can be sad.
One of the most powerful songs by Amber Run. Great choice on guitar.
Wahnsinn!! So ergreifend, so echt. Du berührst unser Herz und sprichst Emotionen an, die wir brauchen. Danke
🖤 one of my absolute favorites.
I am not religious but this made me cry..
So powerful, soulful lyrics and haunting music. One of my favourite songs.

we make some complexity of the simple things gifted.

trough stars and light as we meet the One again
make the best you can with the little light you have left

Why aren't these guys given the spotlight? They are damn good.
Dear God that was beautiful
Que linda melodía 🎶 y una buena letra de vida y amores que ya no fueron.
