Behind the Scenes of the Making of Godsmack's New Single "Truth"

[@Skyler-sf2gn]

Seeing Sully just start to break playing piano hit hard. Sometimes we forget celebrities are people just like us and suffer heartbreak like us. Truth hit me so hard. Music is definitely therapy and I thank Godsmack for being there in some of my darkest times.. They'll never know they've saved my life before.

[@MicEffect]

That's funny. I've been very close to the industry and I can tell you that sometimes artists hide behind their music and are actually more broken apart than we are watching them. Celebrities just have an element to disguise themselves so we don't see the real life. In the end we're all just flesh and blood and we all have feelings. We've all loved and lost 👊

[@SullyErna_fpg]

Thanks for being a great fan of mine, l appreciate your wonderful comment and likes across social media pages, I hope you never stop listening to my music and how long have you been a Fan of mine?

[@Mishellee99]

Love this behind the scenes video thanks for being so willing to open your life to all of the Godsmack fans Sully.

[@fallenangelapril]

For those of us who have had our hearts ripped out at least once in our lives -thank you. Thank you for making us feel what we keep shoving down cause we don't want to hurt any more. Thank you for helping us heal. This is my heart song.

[@Leticia-rg8dw]

It's weird how something so beautiful can come from something so evil. Thanks for sharing it with us even though it was so painful. I hope and pray God heals you from deep within and some day blesses you with true ❤.

[@brikgrove]

Sully is the most multi -talented artist I have ever seen. He excels at every instruments he plays, amazing singer, drummer, and the songwriting, especially this song, and 'under your scars', really touch so many people deeply. It's really a blessing to have you guys and your music a part of our lives, you've been my favorite band since your 1998 "Whatever". Thank you Godsmack!

[@AvStevieStevenJamesDrums]

Wow, Sully, I was crying with you thru the entire story. Unfortunately we’ve all had to endure that immense pain that seems to just linger for what seems an eternity. God Bless brother for sharing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DeloresCanoSanchez]

This song is my first love and while I was pregnant he broke my jaw and that was the the last good bye again. 5 years later I found my true love and have been together since then. It will come together. Married on a Friday 13 th of our 13 years of being together as a friend to lover and soul mate. Blessed Be.

[@kevinmallon8692]

Your a warrior! Broken Road by Sully comes to mind

[@MetalBaller83]

You’re one strong and fucking brave woman. There are so many others that don’t make it through the hell of domestic violence; but you survIved. You’re a warrior. You definitely had an angel looking out for you. God bless you and your family! Sounds like you got the awesome happily-ever-after that warrior survivors like you deserve. 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻

[@davidbreda8571]

This song mirrors my divorce. The first time I heard it, it might as well have been me retelling my own story to someone. That relationship ended around the release of Serenity, which helped me through that time. Godsmack has and continues to speak to me in ways no other band has. Thank you, Sully.

[@CaptR.B.]

You read my mind! 😎👍🤘

[@derrickwarner9578]

Exactly what I said. Amazing song but its like I wrote it and exactly how my marriage ended with my wife cheating

[@bradpuckett9178]

This song hits deep. My marriage ended after 9yrs.

[@dustinarmour4204]

Mine too

[@kevingarand1426]

First time i heard this song it hit me right in the gut. I was in the same position as Sully, and still hurt to this day. I have played and replayed this song 100x since then and I feel his pain every time. On the bright side, this song has made me a Godsmack fan. Thank you Sully and group, heal up brother!! Hope to see you in concert.

[@kevingarand1426]

The guitar solo is such a match for the pain in the song too.

[@1bdford335]

Same here still hurts

[@bobbymongan1691]

Even when Darkness surrounds us and creeps in to our hearts and minds the clouds of despair will dissipate and fade away and the light within us will shine once more. This was definitely one my favorite tracks on this album and one that I attempted to sing every time it was it's turn to fill my ears. Thank you for this gift!

[@davidmarshall3095]

I straight up CRIED the first time I saw the video for Truth. Seeing the story behind it I feel the pain even more. Sully, your music isn’t just therapy for you, but for millions of others. Thank you for your courage to share. I can’t wait to see you again at the MGM in Maryland May 5. Blessings.🙏🏻

[@jeradswartz5609]

Sully is my favorite human being in the world and favorite musician. We both have lived very similar lives in a lot of regards. Thank you Sully for your music, your words...for just being you. You forever changed my life growing up.

[@CraftingwiththeCraft]

'music is my therapy'...damn those words hit home for so many of us with trauma 😢 this song is gonna help so many people as they scream it at the top of their lungs knowing one day they could survive and discover a new normal ❤❤❤

[@ScottHammond-kh1ik]

That's no lie it helps me at times

[@sidsjourney]

I love you Sully. Always have. What I've learned in the last couple of years is that we grieve what we don't get. What we thought we wanted that was only that for us. We had that. They didn't. I've learned don't reason with it. Reasoning is evil. Don't try to understand why. God sometimes removes it at exactly the right time so we don't miss what He has for us. Know we all out here love you. Maybe we'll meet (again) one day because you've always been a part of my life. Thank you for all the years Godsmack & you have pulled me through.

[@SullyErna-i8w]

How are you doing today

[@maxstemmer4657]

When I lost my girlfriend 5 years ago, I couldn't work, exercise, laugh or focus. I stood in front of a coffee machine and didn't know how to use it. And above all, I couldn't express how it felt. But you did it with this song, Sully, and I thank you for that. I feel better today, but the emotions you give to this song still blows me away.

[@loiscollins1827]

When I stepped down from EMS, I went through some dark times, Godsmack got me through! I love They're music!!

[@SullyErna-i8w]

Hello

[@susanbrocksmith4255]

😢 Sadly Karma is real, but we NEED it to grow into a better version of ourselves. As an empath, this song and the video of behind the scenes gutted me. I’m so sorry this happened to you, as it’s happened to most of us, but I pray the future is bright from here on out ❤🙏

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

"We only have one life to get it right" hits so deep. We really only have one life and you better make the most of it!

[@aaaaaaab11]

One life You're wrong.

[@FastSS02]

I absolutely LOVE this song. Scars had been an amazing song for me and I had shared it with someone I loved that timing had never worked out for us to have a relationship. I got divorced and she had said she was finally going to divorce her husband and we had talked a lot about there being an "us" and her giving me a real chance. Unfortunately I found out she started seeing someone else and never gave me a chance. The lyrics of this song really hit home and gave me some closure I never had with her. I still haven't shared this song with her as I haven't messaged her in months. I'm not sure I should and stir up that pain again. I waited over 20 years to have a relationship with this woman, wanting her when I was single, and suppressing those feelings when I was married, only to be gutted in the end by her. As with Sully, music gives me solace, and this song helped put an ending to my feelings from what I thought was a relationship.

[@paulsylvia9562]

I went through a similar incident of being betrayed from someone I was married too but had spent 31 years with. It has been 9 years now since it happened and there are still times I am so emotional I can hardly function. I have played this song 100’s of times thank you for your gift.

[@OriginalMomo]

I’ve been a fan since day 1. I honestly admire your strength, in being able to both use music to help heal, all while peeling off the scars every time you play them again. The old Gods truly watch over you, brother. Stay strong, Sully. Big Scott, 49 , Findlay Ohio

[@loriwolfe422]

Thank you for letting all of your fans see the raw side of you. And you are so right about music, it is there to comfort us in good or bad times. Thank you Sully & the rest of the band, love your music since your first album! Stay strong!

[@spidy69]

Sully, thank you deeply. I 🙏🏼 you will never stop writing songs as you spoke about "gift" you have that. I myself met my x when she was 16 she had left town for few years, when she came back. we ran into each other, then married after 20 years later, left me for another woman. Said she fell out of love, but I know it's deeper. Thanks.

[@IMTA2D]

10 May 2019 I took my son to his first concert. Volbeat and Godsmack in Ottawa, Canada.... It was amazing...

[@kathyi894]

While my ex didn’t cheat on me with another woman he did with drugs over and over and the abuse, he destroyed us and my our life. He destroyed my trust, my self worth, almost 20 years. It took a lot to pull myself out of it. This song is cathartic and hurts at the same time. We all have scars for different reasons, thank you for helping us heal and sharing with us

[@sylviahakse4430]

My ex(who was the betrayer) introduced me to Godsmack❤ Hearing this song (and knowing he has also) brings all of that back. It's been 6,7 yrs. We named our big boi kitty Sully, love him, love you Sully!

[@teresaf1492]

Ive had both eyes blackened at once and had my jaw broke by the same person. Ive been lied to ive been cheeted on ive been betrayed and the physical and emotional abuse from my ex husband really messed me up bad but the hurt that trumps anything is my baby boy overdosing on heroin and finding out on facebook. You guys have always had songs thst related to me but ive never lbeen to a concert. You guys are awsome .

[@shariblack4128]

There is so much I could say to agree with Sully's words. MUSIC RUNS THROUGH MY SOUL AND VEINS AND MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE THROUGH HIGHS AND LOWS! AMEN AMEN AMEN. 🙏 🙏 🙏 LOYALTY I TREASURE BUT HAVE BARELY TASTED . . . AND BETRAYAL IS A SUCKER PUNCH IN THE DARK . . .

I got to see them in the Giant Center, Hershey Park, show was amazing but they never came back. Rumor was they used pyro inside and they weren't supposed to!!!! Haha rock and roll right!!

I just seen them in Aug in Chicago What a show!! I ❤Sully

[@BecScribbles]

Wow. I could feel the pain but the healing through Sully’s words here in the video. It sucks you had to go through this.

[@Westricken1]

One rainy day!!! Right now I'm going through some very similar shit and it's really hurting me at the moment and has been for about a month now. I'm all alone, no true friends or any support in anyway 😢 First I lost my father on December 11th, 2023 and also around that time my girlfriend (of 3 years) moved out on me (she said we needed a break but I know what she really meant) while I am still trying to cope with my loss. It's just been a very painful couple of months 💔 😢. I sometimes feel like I wanna just, you know..so any feedback/support would be helpful. Thanks anyone ❤

[@susanmfichter4594]

♥️♥️♥️ Life is Borrowed Time. I lost my love when I was diagnosed with Cancer. All our plans to be together ended during the worst time of my life. Still empty from it all, but the raw has faded 🩷🩷🩷 Thank you for all the beautiful music!

[@lorenbrake4400]

Thanks to Sully for sharing his story and his gift with us.

[@samanthalincoln7390]

The first time I listened to “Lighting up the Sky”, this song hit me like a punch to the gut. I was in the car, on my way to work, and I was crying by the second line. All I could think was that Sully had some how managed to get in my head, seen what my ex-husband had done to me, and turned it into “Truth”. It’s been five years, but it felt like it’d just happened as I listened. Godsmack and Sully have gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life; their music is a gift. And this song is no different. Thank you, Sully, for sharing yourself with us and reminding us that we’re not alone. That we all go through heartbreak. Because of you, I’m not ashamed of any of my scars and can bravely share my stories with others 💙💙

[@DedicatedThreatSolutions]

Karma touches us all!

[@toddjohnson4244]

I was in the Jr High Band, no one in that room was particularly popular, cool or gleaming with self confidence, I can imagine 45 years later those in band aren’t pretty similar. Several months back I had my wife come to the living room and I replayed the Unforgettable video for her, as we discussed how much that probably changed the lives of those kids that participated or at least the positive memories she had tears in her eyes , so through the pain, laughter and determination of Godsmacks journey you have made a positive difference, thank you all

[@larrycorbett4164]

Nearly speachless. Thank you sully. For giving words to those whom couldn't on their own. I wish I had these words to save me 8 years of misery. Godsmack will forever by my fav band. Keep rocking

When we experience trauma, our life stops. We become disconnected. Life countinues to go on while we are left trying to make sense of what just happened. It's a mind fuck. It's through music 🎶, supportive friends, art, nature 🌴 , writing and animals that we begin reconnecting those broken pieces. Thank you for sharing a piece of your world. ❤ #showyourscars

When I saw this video single, brought me right back. Thank you for telling it through your writing and gift of music!

[@michaelchristenson7840]

Sully I am sorry you had to experience this in your life. After all you have been through you truly are a survivor. After I read your book I learned so much about you that I did not know. Growing up listening to your early Godsmack music was like no other. Your voice is so unique and harmonizes with the rest of the band like a signature. There must be something out there greater for you. All your accomplishments though and your success Fame you have a wonderful daughter And a mom and dad that would do anything for you just as you would for them. Some may say karma but I like to think something bigger out there is for you something better. Then what you had. I am sure you will get through this chapter of your life. I hope you write a second book after Godsmack. Let yourself tell the rest of the story of your life. I hope you are feeling better today and the next day is even better.

[@redleader3394]

This totally resonates with me. All the things he was saying and feeling I can relate to. I’ve been there.

[@bluejeanrock60]

This has spurred me to share my vulnerability publicly. Here goes. Four years ago, it came to light that my son had fallen down the hole of drug addiction. This came as a surprise to all who knew him. He was loved by so many and this was so unexpected. He was a good kid who loved his momma. I stood by helpless as he lost his job, his love, his home, and everything he owned. He is now just a shell of his former self and does not have a place to call home. The past four years have been the worst hell a mother could endure. I try to put on a brave front to not worry those who love me. Tears are running down my cheeks as I put this into words. I am broken and the scars are deep. I feel as though my son has died, but is living in hell as he wanders the streets of Edmonton. I frequently spend evenings in my downstairs rec room working out, stretching, crying, and meditating to music (Godsmack included). Music is soul. It is my saving grace and helps my soul in so many ways. Music has been steadfast in my life for as long as I can remember. Thank you for this Sully and Godsmack. And also, a big thank you for taking the time to stop in Medicine Hat on your last tour. We don't get many good bands out this way. I don't know if you will actually read this, but it is the first time I have put my thoughts regarding this in writing. I hope that one day I will get my son back.

How are you doing today

[@giacomozappala3100]

Dear Sully, I can understand how you feel and how certain internal wounds never heal. I too suffered, losing someone. The same person I held close to me during your concert in Milan in 2019. You and your music take me back to memories but... As much as it hurts, it is always your music that teaches me to be strong and bulletproof towards of life. You master, you will overcome this moment because it is you who teaches us to do it. A hug

I tear up every time I hear the song... I can feel his pain as he sings! Definitely a great song! 🎶💔❤️

[@K8McPhee]

"Everyone has been cheated on", is so sad because it's so true! If you've in fact been there, you know how awful it feels. If you have never experienced it, I hope you never do, because it is soul crushing! When this album came out and I heard this song it was a feeling I won't forget, hearing Sully's pain was so relatable. Then SEEING his pain in the video, and now this is a whole new level!😢 I genuinely hope he has been able to heal and knows how much he loved and adored! I'll be there in Atlantic City for the Vibez Tour... I mean, it's only 6 hours from Boston 😉, no biggie!!! Can't wait! 🖤💜🤘🏻

Extremely personal insight . My heart has been beating for 60 yrs to keep me alive , music has been the fuel for my heart to continue its process. I have been on my own after a relationship totally broke me 22 years ago and will never re enter another moving forward. It’s amazing how the strongest Tarzan can be turned into the weakest Jane by the actions of another.Thank God for music , not sure if it heals but certainly know it speaks louder than a 1000 voice’s ever could .Godsmack have produced numerous songs that have connected and guided me as I am sure they have for tens of thousands even more of others. Been blessed by Sully and the band and that I am grateful for . Thank you , all the way from Australia

And I’ve had an extremely hard life. I’m not trying to hit on you or flirt with you. It just would be nice to have a different friend.

[@LeslieMontel]

@OfficialSalvatorePaulErnaJr. I have been to many of your shows actually. The last one was August 12 in Noblesville Indiana. I’d like your solo work especially for example Broken Road. Scars, Siners prayer. But the latest album I think is your best work. Truth was my favorite from the start. I like Soul on fire and You and I. 1995. Right around the era of Alice In Chains and Metallica. So I have followed you really through your whole career.

Music has really saved my life so many times ever since i was 18 years old when I almost committed suicide with a box cutter to my throat. Thankfully I didnt do it and dropped the blade and from there went right into therapy and then group therapy and now im back to one on one therapy and ive had my share of therapists who i thought were helping me but i never gave them a chance. my life has been on a downward spiral and its coming to a crash right now. last year was my worst year ever in my life. I lost my job.. almost lost my gf of now 16 years and lost my life once again. I was so depressed.. mad.. angry.. i ran the gamut of emotions. having to deal with friends I thought had my back and betrayed my trust even though I put them in danger with my own BS, it hurt me a lot and its hard to get forgiveness from those ppl and even if u pour your heart and soul telling them about your personal life and trust they wont tell anyone and then get betrayed it hurts a lot and hard to forgive ppl that hurt u when u hurt their trust as well. I lost a ton of friends last year cuz of my foolishness on here and ill never get their trust back ever or we kinda reconcile but still go our seperate ways. My family took a big hit from it too as me and one of my uncles dont talk much anymore and Im afraid of him cuz of all the BS goign on now and as much as I want to apologize to him for that, i dont think our relationship will ever be good again. My mom has always been by my side thru my dark days and im so glad for that. I got new friends now but im trying not to divulge too much personal stuff cuz i dont want a repeat of losing my old friends to the BS going on now. It will literally hurt me if that happens. so im just trying to live my best life and do my own thing on social media and tune out the negativity I get on a daily basis almost. But music has always been my go to when I have a bad day or need to cry. In this Moment, Papa Roach, Disturbed and New Years Day has always been my go to bands when im feeling depressed and going to those dark places in my life. But Godsmack has also been a band that has helped me get thru the pain and I hear what Sully is saying in this video and I just hope he can overcome the pain as well as anybody else reading this comment. U r not alone in this. Im with you all and I hope we all can beat this really damaging disease of depression.. anxiety and mental illness because mental illness needs to be heavily talked about in music and in general. please get help if u or anyone u know is feeling down and dont know what else to do. Music helps as well as talking to a doctor.. therapist or a close friend or family member. they can guide u along the path, but u got to do the work as well. Just dont take the advice.. do the work! thats been a problem for me for many years that I dont put in the work needed to go on with my life and im sorry to those Ive hurt and never took the advice from. I only hope someday they can forgive me.. hope this comment helps some ppl. ty to godsmack for an amazing song and message. love u all! - Peter Joseph from NYC

I have been listening to Godsmack from day one, and I swear sometimes it's like they are in my head. This Sunday, April 7th will be 36 yrs my hubby and I have been married, and man it's been one helluva ride. You don't know how many of your songs especially Truth describes us. He's here but not here. Your songs have saved me more than once. I've been codependent for all those years and still am. Thank you for sharing your pain and letting others know they are not alone. My health is going down hill and fast. My only request is to see you guys live. I've missed you twice now in Michigan. Hoping to make the Canada show in Windsor if I can get mt passport, hard when you aren't allow to drive at the moment. But again, thanks you Sully and all you guys! I listen to you everyday. God bless! My therapy is poetry now a days, it used to be singing but can't sing anymore.

Godsmack is best band ever!!!!.❤

It took me about 20 times to get through the entire song. It hit so close to home, almost as if someone wrote it knowing what I had gone through. I finally made it through and it was cathartic and painful. This is one of those rare songs that hits right. Thank you for creating something so healing.

[@CJAnderson704]

So glad you wrote this song its such a beautiful song i remember how soulful it sounded when i 1st heard it and i was like woah it got me into my feelings! Thanks Tony, Shannon, and Robbie for being there for Sully and helping him push through difficult time! You all made this such a beautiful record! Much love Godsmack cant wait to see yall live this fall! 🤘

[@lisahixon3683]

I remember that song you made 7 years ago and now you have been hurt by your one true love bring a song about your heart being broken it is really sad that happened to you my friend. Lone wolf 🐺

[@charleswilkerson6325]

This hit hard! Exactly the same time frame with my relationship/marriage. This is a daily song for my healing process. It was a raw and painful moment in your life, and I thank you for sharing it with all of us. Thank you from my soul for this.

I cannot count the times that music, Godsmack especially, brought me through the deepest and darkest times of my life. Faceless was especially helpful and I was fortunate to have been able to purchase it on release day in NYC while visiting there with my daughter. Sully, thank you for baring your soul to us and sharing your scars and for helping the rest of us through ours.

[@tgranata6189]

Saw Godsmack August 2023 at Darien Amphitheatre, outside of Buffalo NY. Kick ass show, as always. But I'm in a truly dark place right now. Listening to Godsmack has brought me back many times. I pray I can continue pushing through. You guys are true Rock Stars and seem to be the hardest working band. Thank you for creating ass kicking tunes but also those heart-wretchng tunes that people can relate to. Yes, you are ROCK LEGENDS but you are also just people, people with real lives, issues, heart break etc.

[@missouripbrfan]

I appreciate this song so much. ❤

[@sullyerna22]

[@robinp142]

Godsmack's music has always healed my soul! My one constant! When I had nothing and not one person..I always had Godsmack! The lyrics fire me up and speak to my soul. So grateful for all of the years! Def healing music in every way!

[@brokenwrench404]

It’s good seeing sully able to cry and let his emotions out among bandmates and friends. It’s all part of the healing process

[@fooey88]

Man I get chills every time I hear this song and not many songs can do that that these days. How they keep pumping out such great music after all this time will always amaze me. Keep rocking, Godsmack.

[@robertjump5004]

I've seen Godsmack in concert live 17 times on April 9th will be 18 I can't wait they have helped me through the worst struggle's in my life and probably without a doubt have saved my life. Thank you Godsmack for giving me the strength to push forward and persevere. Jump

[@jasonbuie8821]

9 yrs. 6/6/23 I found out. 9 yrs. This song came out and said everything I couldn't say. I can't listen to it without breaking. Such great therapy thru the music and pain.

[@danmirro7208]

Sully you performed just like a real man..... we love. we hate, we laugh, we cry....we stand tall, then Move On.... Love you for this song Brother....I have been in your shoes,,,,It does get better...

[@brokenwrench404]

Thanks for sharing your emotions with us sully. Many of us can relate with having a significant other that can’t handle being alone. My wife and I divorced after 10 years of marriage and after several years I finally healed from it and moved on. Then she got cancer and died bringing back all those emotions and pain. Having to hold back and be strong for our kids was the hardest part. I would wait until they were in n bed and go on a drive so I could cry, yell and just let out what I’d been holding in pretending to be strong in our kids eyes. So many songs trigger emotional memories. Truth will always be one of them. Music can heal if you allow it to
