Flaw - Whole

Music video by Flaw performing Whole. (C) 2001 Universal Motown Records, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.

Flaw was a very under rated Nu-Metal band.

[@nihilisztt2360]

+jcannion but, they were nu-metal.

[@Mw3sTuDiOz]

Lol exactly

[@My-SnowWhiteQueen]

you are so right! I'm good friends with all the guys and their wives. If you want to stay updated and be a part of the family...get on facebook and request to join our flaw family. They will accept you if you tell them I referred you ;)

[@dclong693]

Jen Murphy tell him I saw them at Jesters in Fayetteville Nc years ago. this song stopped a trigger pull. the images in my mind left scarred by combat was almost too much. only the strong indeed.

[@My-SnowWhiteQueen]

DC Long That's good to hear, buddy. Hey, get on facebook and look up Flaw Family. There are many others that share similar stories...where Flaw's music saved them in one way or another. MUSIC=Life. Flaw music and lyrics are life changing. All of the guys are on our Flaw Family page and talk to everyone all the time. If you want, I will send you an invite or you can just look us up. Chris is a huge advocate for veterans. My boyfriend is a retired marine. Long story short...He was in Iraq and blown up by an IED. I'd like to thank you for your service. We'd all love to have you in our family. There's a LOT of support in there. Come find us or tell me how to find you. Much love.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. While thier winning championships some of us are fighting demons

[@ashleydover1017]

What I feel is worse, is when it feels like someone else took your life from you. You're still on earth as a walking, functioning, human...but the loss you feel on the inside, that no one else sees, is profound. Those doomsday movies that show the ground opening up and separating, swallowing anything that happens to be resting on it, accompanied with noises that make your soul sink...thats what it feels like.

[@chloeovall2807]

This song has saved my life so may times. It hits different every time. Watching the video and seeing the emotions while he sings is heart wrenching to me. I wish I could tell this man how much this song has positively affected me. It's a song I will always love, always listen to

[@dkoxperiakoziukov3808]

"Whole" So maybe I am bound by fate A problematic scarring induced by hate It never seems to all pan out Is that what all this teaching is needed to scout You seemed to have a bad effect Your rules and contradictions I would neglect Though not my fault you made me feel Like my own education wasn't truly real [Chorus:] Then you came right in tearing out my soul How could all this loss be your only goal I'm left standing here desperate in the cold Since you took your life mine has not been whole So there I stood a scolded child The reasons never questioned My pains been filed Inside this place that makes me feel I learned life is unfair and that is very real [Chorus] While you try to overcome the lesson Making the most of those questions that just keeps me guessing I'm looking longer, harder, further than I ever have Solitude breaking me down you always seemed glad To put me down and stick me in that little pit Personal growth as a child that mattered not a bit Then I became the person that you hated most Disrespecting the father, son, and holy ghost A small example of what the things you've done to me Have changed in my life and changed the things that I can't be I'll never be!!

[@NoFishTacos4You]

Chris is a lyricist, the painful thing is all of these songs are about his own life. I can’t imagine what he went through having his adoptive mother commit suicide, his adoptive father sent him away to military school then got him confined to a rehab at 14

[@jamesleclair842]

Thanks for the lyrics.

[@Blackafternoon]

Not only does it for the music - it stands alone in spoken word. Thank you for showing me this.

[@TheSpringMood]

This song is so real and raw. After 18 years this song still resonates. Great song

[@Sonicron86]

Just brutal. This song doesn't pull any punches, and it still hits as hard as it did back in my youth. In terms of the video, the baby in the dumpster is probably the worst. Turns my gut, especially now that I'm a dad.

[@mikesperko3921]

Nu metal needs to come back like now like right now

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Why? It wouldn't be the same if it did anyways, that's almost as bad as saying Pantera must reunite now without Dimebag and Vinnie, it's just not likely to happen and if it did that magic wouldn't be there anymore! Personally, I don't think nu metal ever officially died, but that's just my opinion.

[@TheBengineerTV]

I can’t explain how this band makes me feel, like idk if anyone else can relate to this but like listening to the band makes me feel so comfortable and like happy. His voice is so hauntingly beautiful and i have never found another singer with the same voice and style. All of there sons are beautiful and melodic which is the only way I can describe it. It’s not nostalgia because I only started listening to this band last year. It’s just an amazing feeling… anyways idk if anyone else can relate. I don’t necessarily mean this song, I’m talking about “inner strength”, “amendment”, and “out of whack”. No other band makes me feel the way those songs make me feel and I’ll never be able to describe the feeling

[@stephenm8725]

try Ville Valo from HIM, Peter Steele from Type O Negative, and Ivan Moody from Motograter/ FFDP for vocalists who are kinda simliar

It must be a rule for all Nu-Metal guitarists to look up at the ceiling while playing.

[@TwiztidMetalNecr0]

You know, I never really realized that little fact until I read your comment. It's so true. I tend to do it subconsciously all the time and I'm a Nu Metal guitarist too.

[@battlecitysinner]

nopes4545 I just commented this as someone commented something similiar on the Limp Bizkit Re-Arranged video about Wes, but yeah, I actually like it though. I wasn't sure if a lot of other people noticed how weird (but cool) especially nu-metal guitar players tended to look/act while playing. Like Wes, Meegs from Coal Chamber, Jason Daunt from Flaw, Head from Korn (back in the day), and others.

[@TwiztidMetalNecr0]

Thats why I love doing the type of music that I do. Its boring without acting while you're playing.

[@ratmachine87]

Actually it's not only the nu metal guitarist but also the bassist as well does that style of playing and it was Head, Munky and Fieldy from KoRn started that style of playing their instruments and other nu metal bands copied them.
