I hope this band gets bigger, they deserve more recognition

[@novasays2748]

They don't need to go mainstream, they like having a soul lol

[@JRSEchelon]

Just saw them live at Aftershock here in Sacramento, California. Finally got to see them. They really are the definition of true rock with grit and soul.

[@a.l.a7901]

@@JRSEchelon That was an amazing show. It was the highlight of my aftershock 2021 experience. I am taking my teen to aftershock this year too. She is ecstatic to see Muse. Not my cup of tea but she is so excited she almost cried.

[@alexiagxx]

i didnt think i was gonna cry today but here we are

[@emilyhare5452]

Same, same 😭😭

[@033nutmeg]

First thought this song is sweet... Last verse... I ball my eyes out. I wasn't ready.

[@MissJenniferVlog]

I went into this saying 'ok I'm not going to cry I've heard this song a million times' And yet here I am *cries*

[@cadavher]

This mans voice is smooth as butter. Imagine being this blessed lol

[@eminemilly]

takes work too but yes very blessed.

[@jaernem]

Or just hard work getting to where he wanted to be.

[@cadavher]

@@eminemilly yes every singer works hard on their vocals, I'm not saying he was born pitch perfect but I was more so referring to his actual voice. I'm not sure I know how to explain it better than that lol

[@eminemilly]

@@cadavher probably his tone and emotional expressiveness. For sure both gift and hard work ♡

[@rosssymphony6098]

Yeah the passion he puts into it is like feeling the music and emotion flow. I feel the same way when i play but gosh no i cant sing for shit lol I might as well be mute when compared to how well he preforms!

[@bannahhanana8504]

He's honestly got the most perfect nose. I'm jealous.

That's funny because I saw him in real life and my nose is almost exactlyyy the same as his and I've always HATED MY NOSE LOL!

[@iscarlyxuwu]

Every time I hear this song, I end up in my feels. Badflower has become myy favorite band basically overnight and I'm so excited to see what's coming next

[@RedwingT]

That's how it happened to me last year and I haven't looked back since. Most genuine emo filled band I've ever heard. Stan for Life!

[@sarahzeraptor]

Saaaame! Badflower became my favorite almost overnight... they're incredible 💕

[@Dark.Star.Alchemy]

Same. I heard jester on the radio and one night down the rabbit hole on KZbin was all it took for me to fall in love with basically everything they've done.

[@seanrodman2767]

I'm 53 and Badflower became my favorite band last year. There's no better rock band making music right now.

[@noralynne0740]

Same. I saw them open for Nothing More and heard Ghost. That song cut me so deep I jumped down the KZbin rabbit hole because I needed more. I've basically have been stalking the band since. Lol

[@smileerachel4478]

We're getting old now (We're getting old now) But I don't feel it (But I don't feel it) I say you're beautiful (I say you're beautiful) And I still mean it (And I still mean it) And I don't wanna know (And I don't wanna know) What old age feels like (What old age feels like) So promise me you won't (So promise me you won't) Give up on this life (Give up on this life) And we'll be busy tryin' While the rest of them are dyin' Promise me we'll never grow up I don't wanna let go I wanna stay young And even when the wrinkles show up We'll be laughing, and We can play forever Don't make me face the truth I think it's obvious That we'll stay happy 'Cause I'm the happiest ('Cause I'm the happiest) When you smile at me And we won't end the same A broken family I'll never walk away Without you with me And times are getting harder But I'm nothing like my father Promise me we'll never grow up I don't wanna fall out I wanna make love And even when we can't, so what? We're together, and Happy ever after Don't make me face the truth That I'm dying soon That we're dying Don't say goodbye (When did we get so old, so old, so old?) We're so much older... All I want is one more life with you When did we get so old? Why'd you get so sick? And how could you die? You promised me you'd never grow up Now I have to let go God, I miss you so much And even when your heart gave out I was thinkin' how I won't say goodbye You promised me you'd never grow up But you fucking grew up God, I miss you so much And even when your heart gave out I was thinkin' I'd Love you 'til forever And I can't face the truth That I died with you That you lied (That you died...) You died

Josh looks so well rested! I know he had fun on tour but you could tell it wore on him physically. I haven't seen him look so full of color in years. I'm happy to see.

[@nordhoney1146]

I was just thinking the same thing! He looks healthy 🥰

[@abigailschmieg9479]

[@shaynaphillips2154]

I can feel his words in the depths of my soul😭😭😭 I lost my husband 13 years ago in a motorcycle accident. I never thought I would love anyone like I loved him again. This last year I feel deeply in love again. My new love has a lot of blood pressure problems and had a heart attack about a month ago. I've been so scared that he's going to have another one. He keeps telling me not to worry, that he's going to be alright but in scared to death to lose him😭😭😭

[@Dark.Star.Alchemy]

I'm so sorry for your previous loss. Treasure every moment you have. Death is something I feel I will never understand or accept.

[@MakotoKinoSailorJupiter2020]

I’m a pretty emotionally tough guy. Not very sensitive or anything like that. But this.. this song does nothing but make me think of my life with my girl. The whole song resonates with me. She’s always had a tough time with her own medical issues. It’s hard to watch especially because she has no control.. it’s the most Hopeless feeling.
