FIRST TIME HEARING Shinedown - A Symptom Of Being Human

[@highvoltagews647]

every storm runs out of rain

[@enissan45]

💯

[@MTchillmusic]

My son struggles with ADHD, depression and anxiety...this is his favorite group. I encouraged him to research this group and when he discovered that they do a lot to help those with mental health struggles, he establish a strong connection with them. He know all of their songs! I'm so proud of him. Cheers mate...thanks for your encouraging comments!

[@mikep6275]

God love him and bless him

[@michaelmorley5271]

I had an extremely tough time over a period of 12 months I went to the darkest places, these guys brought me back from those places. These boys have saved a lot of lives I feel , immense !

[@MattHealey.]

I’m the same as your son. I’m 52 and in the uk but only recently diagnosed. First time I heard this song I cried and cried and cried. It’s about me. I know it. Love it

[@Otterpoptheotter]

I also struggle hard with anxiety, depression, and ADHD. And unless you have it you have NO IDEA how hard it can be to cope with all 3 at once. This song tho. It makes us feel SEEN and HEARD. Like we aren’t alone. And there aren’t many bands who can do that. So whatever band we find that can do that, it means more to us than anyone will EVER know

[@deborahwright2135]

I struggle with bad anxiety and panic attacks, severe depression, ptsd, and more and shinedown is also one of my favorite groups

[@ricmthegm]

Shinedown should be a staple band for everyone. They are therapy, love, compassion and more

[@mikeyb8298]

The absolute best for 20 years

[@jimmyv1753]

Couldn’t agree more. They were one of my favorites before I ever saw them live. First time was around 2012 and they immediately became my absolute favorite and I’ve never passed up an opportunity to see them since. Including this past Friday night and the show was incredible as usual. I try to get everyone I know to check them out. They have something for everyone

[@KaraCroft]

Agreed!!!

[@ThisIsMyLife7399]

Shinedown is a band like no other. Their connection with their fans is multigenerational.

[@michaellenhart1309]

You can tell the moment when he was like.. "Not a fan of this type of music" to "It's got me".

[@mikeyb8298]

Brent is an angel living among us honestly.. he’s the new Chester Bennington

[@cpk1977]

My daughter is autistic. She struggles in a world not made for her. I cry every time I hear this song. I just want people to know she exists! I love you kid.❤

[@parkerb9010]

The world was made for her please know that.

[@xXTheoLinuxXx]

I'm autistic too and battled with several depressions and I can tell you this, dont cry. This songs tells us to be happy with ourselves, all our flaws are human.. I bet your daughter is wonderful person and has qualities that you won't find that easily in 'normal´ persons.

[@JamesPope-p6t]

I have two boys with Autism.. I feel your pain, your love and your concerns.

[@jaredbrown6066]

I have a niece with autism and a few friends who are adults with autism or some type medical condition(deformities, etc), they've all cried to me saying they couldn't handle it all by themselves without their support people(me being one of them) I love them all so much and have been to appointments and everything with them...your daughter is a strong human being as are you, we've all got to support each other #onelove

[@redmarauder529]

My son is autistic and this song really touches me. In a world of hate and anger, I want you all to know that I love you and my son loves you. God is love!

[@jaimegriffin2923]

Shinedown has kept me from being in and living in that dark place. Their music resonates on a variety of levels no other music has hit.

[@glenn4530]

thank you God bless nice song for our higher vibration

[@jeniferjones1205]

Church!

[@mikeyb8298]

I honestly think Brent smith may be a human angel look he saved jelly roll fuck

[@dnaclone616]

I think if I didn't have music in my life I probably would've been a statistic.

[@leejones5019]

My wife and kids passed 2-3-07, my father, mom are all gone. This life has not been good to me. Dude thanks for the motivation

[@teylaprax4739]

Shinedown is still one of my top favorite groups. They’ve been my go to for the last twenty years whenever I felt depressed or alone. Atlas Falls and Get Up are two that I listen to daily.

[@nrg5581]

I have been listening to Shinedown for 20 years as well, but never heard Atlas Falls until a couple of years ago. Another amazing song by Brent Smith and the band! My favorite songs are Unity and Devour.

[@TheAverageNerd]

This song and Daylight are probably 2 of the hardest hitting for me. I've been struggling lately between loosing my grandfather last year and grandmother early this year. Every time i find myself struggling I go out to look for reactions to their songs and cry. Thanks for the reaction, to us fans they mean a lot. Much love ❤

[@Dargonic]

Their song Daylight from this album is fantastic as well!

[@TimOlivarez]

one of the best performances ive ever seen is shinedown singing simple man in someones living room. 1000% recommend looking into it, it is here on youtube.

[@Terri6868]

Teresa) Thank you for doing this for me. Shinedown has helped me through a lot of bad times. You should dive more in their music. They’ve been talking about mental health for 20 years. The Crow & the Butterfly 🦋 is about dealing with loss. 🦋

[@Okayrick]

[@eileenward]

I’ve never ever heard of them till now if it wasn’t being constantly watching @Okayrick . I love watching he’s videos the guys not afraid to show any emotion and I like that . X

[@eileenward]

⁠@@Okayrick please please Ricky will you do a reaction video to 2 of my favourite songs one song by Lutricia McNeal ain’t that just the way & Bon Jovi I’ll be there for you or bed of roses by Bon Jovi. Please you will light up my day I am half disabled from my waist down I’ve got lymphedema in both my legs it’s a condition I was born with. And people make fun of me all the time and judge me because of my condition and over how I walk . So honestly you will brighten up my day if I see 1 of those songs you are literally my favourite KZbinr please react to those songs for me x

[@geniarome]

Teresa, stay strong. Loosing your parents (at any age) makes you feel like a lost child. It WILL get brighter. My late sister's name was Teresa 😊. Sending you strength and light.

[@brandonsimmons756]

I'm sorry for your loss I lost my grandma aka my nana I was her baby no one was aloud to touch me she really loved the oldies like the beach boy's I'm bi and prefer girls and my dad turned his back on me and my nana she knew and I didn't have to tell her about it I never got over her passing at her funeral I was so depressed and crying that I lost my balance and fell to my knees if I ever needed anything she'd get it done I'm sorry for rambling on lol that's a bad habit of mine I wish you all the luck and again I'm sorry for your loss this song hit me hard I now have a therapist and psychiatrist and I'm on medication for it all so rest assured I'm doing good

Shinedown has so many amazing songs. Brilliant, Diamond Eyes, Sound of Madness, Second Chance, and so many more fantastic songs that I highly recommend

[@chelcybryant225]

I saw them in concert when I was 16. Got to meet them and vet an autograph. They were amazing and just like this live. To this day I'll listen to their songs. I've suffered from depression and these songs always get me thru.

[@Bobbythundervideogamemaster900]

I love their music Shinedown is the best Rock band of aii time and a Symptom of being human is a very Beautiful Song and i respect their message to us aii and I feel sorry to the people who have depression and Suicidal Thoughts have you know someone will has Suicidal Thoughts don't be approved to get help don't be afraid to tell someone this is a message from your friend Bobby Thunder 900

At the exact moment when my life did a 100% U turn… this song found me. Gave me levity. 🔥

Shinedown is my therapy. You are doing great things on this channel. Peace and Grace

[@janetyanke8655]

My husband passed away on March 27th. He was a best friend of 30yrs and I finally had the guts to sell my house and move to TX. We had 5 months together. I found him on the floor, massive stroke. Watching his pass away after removing life support, which wasn't working, will be forever in my mind. He was 48. I have nothing left but my senior cat. If not for him....

[@cardsfan62254]

Shinedown is great! At their concerts, doesnt matter where you are sitting they make you feel like you are part of them. I got to meet the band in 2018 and they are himble, kind just awesome!!

[@angiev9965]

Seeing them for the 6th time in October. One day I hope to meet them. Hands down the best band and guys out there.

[@Terri6868]

I saw them in July at the Hard Rock in Gary IN. It was my birthday & Brent kneeled down and sung to me. I just about fell over. I’m I’m seeing them in October that will make 3 times this year. I’m 69 & a groupie. 💯😂

[@AbigailGivens-x3d]

Adhd here and OMG I got to watch this sing this live, right up front. Brent and Zach were amazing. I cried, this song hits hard. I got video, dont like to video concerts cause id rather live in the moment so i kept my phone on the guard rail and its not perfect, which is kinda perfect.

9:20am. Shinedown songs go right to the soul. I always feel as if they are singing songs just for me. ❤

[@karlbecker8775]

Thank you for speaking truth! Shinedown has a lot of uplifting songs. Their cover of Simple Man is epic, if you get the time.

[@ryanthomas84]

Wait, this song has been out this long?! Why am i only hearing it now?! I love this song! I actually cry everytime i hear this song. God bless you man.

[@darlenelangdon1018]

Lost my 32 year old son to suicide on 12-16-2018 and the grief never stops. I have been a Shinedown fan for a long time. The 1st time I heard this song it spoke to me. We are all struggling with something and thank you for telling us you love us no matter what.❤

[@MNDrummer]

This is a great song. This is a great band and they have such a vast library of music that covers ballads to in your face rock tunes. Turn the screen off, turn the lights off, sit in a dark room and listen to songs like this. Just listen.

[@tinkt1061]

@OkayRickk it’s the first time I’ve heard your channel by way of this Shinedown song. My life is falling in around me and I’m struggling, your message gave me some hope and it felt like a warm hug. It was no accident that I found your channel I know angels sent me here. Please just send positive energy. I’m struggling. Thank you for your words 🤗🙏🏼

Here are other Shinedown songs that you will probably like (some of my favorites): Atlas Falls I'll Follow You Through The Ghost Second Chance The Crow and the Butterfly Daylight And one he did with the guitarist in Shinedown: Smith & Meyers - Since You Were Mine

[@Mamat5kdz]

This is their newest release...I may have already said this...Shinedown has a fantastic catalogue...start at the beggining and take the Journey...its absolutely worth it!!!❤❤❤❤❤ Theres a live version of this song at a concert in Wisconsin recently...it on point...they are awesome live!!!

[@tonywatson4019]

The last time I saw Shinedown was in 2016 with my fiance in May of that year shortly after that show in September she passed away so their music has been a memory of her for me. This song has become my favorite by them cause it resonates to me on many levels I will always be a fan of them.

[@geoffkn17]

Truly inspirational reaction. I hope for humanity because most of us are kind and give nothing but love for each other. Tired of the division promoted by the MSM. Peace Love Unity Respect.

I "barely" heard this song playing in a store and it caught my ear......as it were, as unfamiliar songs do from time to time. I only heard.....'got invited to the lunatic ball', and I kept repeating that line in my head until I got home. Google of course, is great. I'm 6'2 225 and I'm no way afraid to admit when I found it on YT and played it, the rain came out of my eyes too. Fantastic music.
