Andy Grammer - "Wish You Pain" [Official Music Video]

Last year on tour, I asked all of my fans to share with me experiences they've had that hurt them the most. I then asked for them to tell me how they grew from these experiences and what they got from them. These are their stories.

So true

[@elizabethray7773]

So relatable, I was just thinking about that

[@MrHolifeld]

Everyone has a fight song I think. For my mom, it was “don’t give up on me”. She battled cancer for 16 years and just recently, after we found out it had metastasized to her brain, things went downhill very fast. When she heard this song she fell in love with it and when I finally really listened to the words, I realized why it meant so much to her. She wasn’t giving up quite yet, even if it was down to her last breathe, so I wasn’t gonna give up on her. I was holding my moms hand when she took her last breath a week ago and she passed away peacefully with her family around her. While my mom was still alive, I’d play Andy for her and would sit and listen with her. That’s when I heard “I wish you pain”. The song didn’t make sense until after my mom passed away and I listened to it again, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like my mom, or fate, or God left me with a final message, a way to understand that the pain I was feeling I needed to embrace and let it help me grow stronger. So now, every time I hear this song, tears begin to fill my eyes, but I take a breathe and embrace the pain and know I’m gonna come out of this stronger than I was before and know that the pain is because of how much I loved her and how much she meant to me…and all the memories that are sad right now will be beautiful reminders of what a great person she was. So, Anyone out there going through what I am, even though it might sound strange, I wish you pain…

[@mathewsv.l6754]

❤️🌍”The more difficulties one sees in the world the more perfect one becomes. The more you plough and dig the ground the more fertile it becomes. The more you cut the branches of a tree the higher and stronger it grows. The more you put the gold in the fire the purer it becomes. The more you sharpen the steel by grinding the better it cuts. Therefore, the more sorrows one sees the more perfect one becomes… The more often the captain of a ship is in the tempest and difficult sailing the greater his knowledge becomes. Therefore I am happy that you have had great tribulations and difficulties… Strange it is that I love you and still I am happy that you have sorrows.” - Abdu’l-Baha

Lyrics: I hope your doubts come like monsters And terrorize your dreams I hope you feel the lonely hopelessness 'Cause no one else believes I hope you question whether you ever really had a chance at all I hope your fear is thick like poison It gets into your blood I hope you push until you cannot breathe And it's still not enough I hope you put your life out on the line And everybody watches while you fall 'Cause I love you more than you could know And your heart, it grows every time it breaks I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain Wish you pain It's hard to say But I wish you pain I hope people break their promises Leave you in the cold I hope they beat your heart to pieces Worse than you've ever known I hope you finally arrive, only to find you're nowhere close

[@8Tibbles]

I hope you cry and tears come streaming down your face I hope this life traps you in more than you thought you could ever take I hope the help you want never comes And you do it on your own 'Cause I love you more than you could know And your heart, it grows every time it breaks I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain Wish you pain It's hard to say But I wish you pain I love you more than you could even know Been here before and I just wanna see you grow Want you to grow 'Cause everything that matters most I swear it goes by a different name I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain I wish you pain It's hard to say Wish you pain I love you more than you could even know I've been here before and I just wanna see you grow Want you to grow

[@aaronbuotte1208]

This song has so much meaning to me now. A year ago I was involved in an accident that took my life and I was brought back. I suffered from severed nerves and not being able to walk. My birthday was spent having reconstruction on my legs, I was in a dark place. I wanted to die, for the pain to stop. I held to proving to my 3 yo daughter that I could chase her around again and play. Months and months of therapy went by, tears and prayers every night. I took my first step in front of my daughter 6 months after the accident and since seeing her excitement in have made a almost full recovery. I appreciate and love life more now then ever before. Thank you Andy Grammer for making such a beautiful song!

[@abbast.3606]

Aaron you are a blessing to the world! "To attain eternal happiness one must suffer. He who has reached the state of self-sacrifice has true joy. Temporal joy will vanish." ~ Bahá’í Faith ❤️❤️

Gage, thank you for being a beautiful human being “Men who suffer not, attain no perfection. The plant most pruned by the gardeners is that one which, when the summer comes, will have the most beautiful blossoms and the most abundant fruit. The labourer cuts up the earth with his plough, and from that earth comes the rich and plentiful harvest. The more a man is chastened, the greater is the harvest of spiritual virtues shown forth by him. A soldier is no good General until he has been in the front of the fiercest battle and has received the deepest wounds."_ -‘Abdu’l‑Bahá, -Writings from the Bahá’í Faith

I don't wish anyone pain. I wish them compassion and understanding if painful things happened to them. I'm sick of people's lack of compassion, trying to force victims to forgive and "let go" while having mercy on butchers.

I died inside. 40 years later, after so much therapy, so many bad times, so very much pain, I am able to help others who are in similar situations. I know the pain, I know the shame, I know the horror, and I have been able to soar above it and advocate for those who can't yet. That pain has made me a better person.

This song hit me like a truck while driving home from school today, I cried so hard in my car 😭...I've went through so much pain in the last couple years, one of the worse of these hurtful experiences has been having my best friend cut the ties of our friendship almost 3 years ago after over 25 years of friendship over a disagreement about her reconnecting with her ex and seeing her turn into a stranger. ... I don't know what I am supposed to learn from this but, one thing I know, things aren't the same anymore since she stopped being my friend.

[@ginazaring4579]

What a light and inspiration. It was a true gift stumbling across this after stumbling across the podcast, after 5 ft. apart, etc. I guess one could say it was a two year stumble that brought me here. Gladly...I wouldn't have been ready for this experience prior to that. I have been beaten and abused since I was 2 years old. I was nearly killed by my father at that time. I have no idea why. I have been in therapy most of my adult life, then finally had a nervous breakdown 5 years ago when my brain just couldn't take anymore. I've used the last 5 years to focus on healing my mind and spirit. I now help others realize that mental health isn't a death sentence. It's a starting point. You can grow from those dark points by searching for the light to find your way out. You can create Anchors to help you along the way. Positive things you reach for at certain low points. My sister when I need sympathy, my brother when I need someone to be stern with me, music when I need to tame the anxiety, etc. Thank you for this song at this time. Thank you for being true to yourself.

Bullying was my life for thirteen years. My mom's passing was the start of it when the bullies realized I had become an angry child. It evolved to be many devastating years for me with self-harm, substance abuse and attempts to leave the world. Only now, I've finally started to come to terms with life and my emotions and what they did to me. People tell me to forgive the persons who hurt me. I can't do that. But this song has given me something to think about. I can't forgive you who hurt me. But I wish you pain so you can learn to live and love and be good people. As for me, I keep fighting. I'm done being the victim - I am now a survivor.

After 9 months of fighting unknown health problems- I was finally diagnosed with severe PotS. I'm currently on medication that only helped a day and if the 2nd type of medication doesn't work I need to see a specialist ^-^ I'm usually in pain all over almost 24 7 and can barely walk or get out of bed sometimes. But I know God has a plan for me and I'm now starting to see it. So for all those people who think they are alone- your not-! It may feel like that...but things will get better. Sometimes heartache is the gift we need to learn to grow ^-^
