But I want to say that I listened to the song in 2006, I was 18 and I was very depressed. the feeling that you are alone with this damn evil world. that's why I cry when I find out that young guys commit suicide because they see no way out. God, this is the most unfair thing in life - because in this state a person does not understand why he is deceiving himself. a loving wife, the smile of your children, a warm relationship with the aging parents with whom you finally made friends. guys life can be shit, but it can be wonderful too! just believe, seek support, no matter how bad it is. but do everything to solve the problems, everything will be fine. beautiful song that makes you want to cry.

Three weeks from now I have my first meeting with a therapist, I'm 32 now.

[@technoguyx]

Glad to know you've taken therapy, it will be definitely worth it. Similar story for me -- I've struggled with depression, suicidal thoughts and anxiety almost all of my life until today still, as a teen my parents never really wanted me to go to therapy or take medications partly out of our own economical issues and partly due to a (legitimate, imo) fear of overreliance on prescription drugs. Now that I've gotten some financial independence and am living on my own I took the initiative to appoint a psychologist and psychiatrist and it's helped me a lot to cope with my own issues, understand relationships better etc.

Fuck, man... KZbin, I both hate you and love you for randomly recommending this song to me... I remember being a teenager at 15, dealing with suicidal thoughts and self-harm. Remember having this song on repeat, and I remember listening to this song with my first-ever girlfriend. At 25, I tried taking my own life after years of self-harm, alcohol and depression... I am now 27, and I feel much better now. In August, I will get to be uncle to a little girl. These things would never have happened to me if I had succeeded with the attempt when I was 25. For anyone here, it all gets better, but the biggest step is to reach out for help. It's not going to be easy, but you will thank yourself for it.

For anyone who doesn't understand, this song isn't to put anyone in a suicidal mood or encourage you to commit suicide. Matt wrote this song after one after one of his close friends became withdrawn, lonely and ended his young life. Nobody knew he was depressed and nobody was willing to listen, then when he was gone he realised that he should of just listened and maybe he could of been here today. For anyone thinking of ending it, please don't! You have people who love you, through everything.

This song and video will always remind me of my friend Scott Buckle who hung himself, he was like 12, me and the boys were like 13/14. (This was back in 2003/4). I struggled with school regardless, and that seriously fucked me up. I just remember all the boys trying not to cry all the time, cracking jokes about all the normal shit and sometimes some would laugh, sometimes we couldn't and others/we would just be quiet. Can't remember how we all moved forward, we literally never spoke about it except for when it initially happened. No one judged each other. It was a horrific time. I hope times have changed, and I'm so sorry if you have experienced similar or worse. I never finished secondary school and only turned up to 1 or 2 GCSEs and wrote fuck all on the sheets. Anyway, just never really expressed this before. I'm 34 this year. Time is scary as shit!!!

Powerful video and incredible song. After 8 years that intro riff still gives me goosebumps.

[@josephsummers2427]

Pilmoor Probably most powerful and sad song/video I've ever heard, and I've seen hundreds of music videos in my days. This outdoes Billy Talent "Nothing to lose" by a long shot

[@Capt_Sid]

Then listen to 5 finger death punch - wrong side of heaven

[@pacific570]

I remember listening to this when I was 16-17 I’m 30 now still listening to this in line to pick up my daughter from school dreaming what I would be like as a father coming from a broken family and here I am now still listening to the same song I did as a kid in my room dreaming

[@MyCrucified]

This video saved me when I was depressive. She makes me to thing to my mother and stoped me in my darkness road... Thank you.

[@drummerthekid12]

I never understood the lyrics where he says "I never listened to a word you never said" now, 3 years later, I understand and I can relate more than every before. I am severely depressed and I don't know how to speak out about it so I don't, this song explains it so beautifully.

[@h.c.49]

It's been eight years. Do feel like things have changed. Are you still out there, even?

[@Gryffin1319]

I too have same story. I could understand heavy metal song's songs when I was in school. But now i could clearly understand those painfully words

[@ЯнаПаламарчук-и7ш]

I love this song, but I've never seen the full video until today. I got to know FFAF when I was 15 and it was one of my favorite bands for a long time. Now I am a mother and it feels so painful to watch this video. I hope I never lose my son, and I have to do everything possible so that he never lost, lonely, depressed and I used to be when I found this beautiful music...

[@soootir3d]

Watch the video again, his mother is cleaning out his room after he commits suicide(the video shows this simultaneously), "its not your fault you feel betrayed," is a line to mothers or friends of people who commit. If you look at the clothes and items she's packing nicely and picking up, its all things hes wearing or from the home movie cut-ins. Then towards the end his mother gets angry as is expected after someone leaves this world and loved ones with so many unanswered questions

[@hellooo2411]

Ooooh! I know it's been six years since you commented but I didn't find this video until today. I thought she didn't like or accept him or something and he was depressed at the same time. So she threw out all his stuff because she wants him to not be the way he is (liking certain stuff, so that's why she throws out as an example, the posters) while he's readying to jump because he can't deal with his life (bullies and the mother, perhaps more). But now when I found your comment it makes more sense, because why would she throw out his school clothing, he needs it (assuming she doesn't know he's not going to come home)

This song really spoke to me when it came out. I was very depressed at the time. I still love this song, but it's so weird to watch the video back. I was not ready for this ride on the feels train.

[@AsAssin4life]

Wow yeah, and to think I had actually forgotten about this song until I listened to some Dream Theater and one of their songs was called Funeral for a Friend and it rang a bell.. Couple searches later and here I am.

[@lukedavies6055]

[@Straw_Hat_Leon]

This song always gets me. Over seven years after losing my childhood best friend to suicide and I still sometimes break down into tears. Honestly, I just want to go back in time, hug him tightly and tell him how precious his life is.

[@Avatar1178]

It took me a very long time to realise this due to not actually knowing the lyrics for ages, but this is the best FFAF song in my opinion. This is everything a song should be...you can hear Matt pour out his heart and emotion into these lyrics. 'I never listened to a word you never said'...Profound. Just absolutely profound.

[@ruben2365]

I tend to feel the most depressed during the happiest of holidays. Seeing other people happy and loving each other when all i did was hurt and break my family up even though we are together now.

[@riffgodinc7993]

This song and video definitely prevented a fuckton of suicides and really we should be grateful for this. The people who made this video deserve lifelong respect along Funeral For A Friend! The mother tearing the posters down.... :'(

[@riffgodinc7993]

Plus you can really tell their sincerety

[@PaddyLaPoint]

2020, I'm 30 years old this year, I listened to this relentlessly in secondary school (high school for Americans) and many friends of mine and favorite musicians have committed suicide, this song has never been so relevant. I dunno what went wrong but I don't want any more people that I love dying, be kind to each other and tell the people you care about how much you love 'em, it goes a long way.

[@joelowdon1615]

Was in high school when this came out. I looked a lot like the kid, right down to the same Army & Navy Surplus Store jacket (still have that jacket) and was going through some shit at the time. Usual teenage stuff - mental health issues, bullying, less than perfect home situation. I felt completely lost and empathised so much with this video - yet it was one thing that really kept me holding on and got me through. Now I'm 31 and those feelings and memories feel a lifetime ago but this video still hits hard. I'm so thankful I got to experience this band and their music.

[@1616Six]

I can’t explain how many times I listened to this song on repeat back in the day. I was a similar age to the lad in the video at the time and always felt as though I could relate, especially the beginning where he’s waking past the blokes. Always resonated, I don’t think I realised back then how much I was suffering with depression as mental health really wasn’t discussed in those days. Just stumble upon this video again and it’s made me feel quite emotional thinking back on those times as a 30 year old bloke now. Wish I could have told myself things will get better!

Takes me back so far. Time moves too fast. These are not tears of sadness. They’re are tears of relief, tears of joy we made it, tears of nostalgia, tears of gratefulness for this song, tears of knowing that I’ve matured and have faced the demons. I made it and all of you can make it too. One day you’ll back and realize how petty your depression was. I pray you all come to that realization and that your family needs you.
