My child is still in the midst of a severe mental health crisis. But on January 24th of 2024 they attempted to take their own mind by swallowing far too many pills. The song ICU, it's not just for people like them, it's for people like me, people like me who constantly think of how this could have ended. Fortunately, my child made it through physically. I love to sing, I sing all the time and yet I cannot sing this song without choking up, thinking of what might have happened and being so very thankful that it didn't. ICU is my favorite Citizen Soldier song and probably always will be. Much love to you for shining light into such dark places. You are a good human, Jake. I am so sorry for everything that you have been through to turn you into this person but I will always be thankful for you. You have helped me and my child in ways you may never imagine.

Thank you for that interview. And thank you for your vulnerability. The first song I heard from him was I am not ok, which opened my eyes to see that there was actually someone out there who knew what I felt but I had no words for. I was at a point in the last few weeks of throwing in the towel, my own family was like stop listening to those poor me songs! I tried to validate to them about Jake but if you’ve never been in that place you can’t understand. Tonight I heard Afterlife wow That hit hard! So hard I fell to the floor sobbing! Whenever I feel like I’m in that bad place that will be my go to song. I made my daughter listen to it because she was especially nasty to me the other day and I was ready to leave this world. She apologized and said it was a very good song and she wants me to talk to her anytime no judgement That’s an accomplishment Please keep your reaction videos to the songs, it shows I’m not the only sappy vulnerable person!! Music is powerful more than a lot of people want to admit to. It’s how my whole life I’ve connected to things. Thank you again Dawn,

Hearing the reasoning behind the song Good Enough for God was wonderful. From what I'm going through it's definitely going to be one of my favorites from this album.

On the subject of the song "Good Enough for God," I don't really care if it's going to be controversial or not. I've been through various faith crisis myself and understand how dark, scary, and lonely of a place it is. The fear I felt, the abandonment, guilt, and loneliness, it almost drove me insane. Not to mention the constant hail storm of intrusive thoughts that enraged the self-hatred in me like never before. Luckily, even before I found Citizen Soldier, I managed to find some validation through a Christian Rock band called Red. They actually went on tour supporting Alter Bridge very recently. Anyway, I would highly recommend them if you're going through a faith crisis or if you just like Citizen Soldier. I honestly hope one day these two bands I mentioned collab, because it would just be awesome to hear the best bald man duo of all time. Nevertheless, can't wait for all of ICU, controversial or not.

Great interview! I laughed and cried 😊 It was really interesting hearing his thoughts on "Good Enough for God" because it was obvious that it was going to be controversial. I gave a story on FB about why I was excited for "My Own Miracle", but after hearing his explanation, it my be my favorite for entirely different reasons. Blessings!

I’d really like a song about gender Dysphoria, a song about self doubt about a disorder, a song about social anxiety, a song about being let down (but the whole song about it), a song about missing good memories and remembering what they feel like, self blame for past, present and future, a song about not being accepted… I could go on lol
