I want my life - Smile Empty Soul

[@InviernoNuclear1990]

One of the most underrated bands ever.

[@afuckingoodday]

Fuck oath they are!!!! Their awesome!!!!

[@MrJables23]

Couldn't agree more

[@janedoe2749]

Agreed 💯

[@Agapelovestudio]

Luke Konowalski bro same here this album saved me idk if I'd be here if it wasn't for these guys

[@dougfisher9525]

[@cameronbrown387]

[@mrmadwolf3694]

I'm 31. Been listening since I was a teen. It helped me too. Very special

[@jacobunderwood4093]

Love this song explains exactly whats going on in my life. Definitely one one the best songs of all time and one of the best bands out there. Truly legendary indeed. Whos listening in 2023

[@justinlohman7538]

I used to listen to this song as a senior’s anthem in 2003 as school was letting out. I still can recall , can even smell, those chilly spring nights in the back seat with my then girlfriend and early May mornings driving in listening to this for my last few times to stroll the halls. We were kings! That was only the beginning of life…

[@Dalton13]

Whatever became of that ex girlfriend? It's amazing how everyone just drifts apart.

[@acousticmario6109]

Very underrated. Helped me through alot in my teenage angst years. And still helping me as a husband and dad. Helps me start conversations with myself that I push down and try and hide.

[@Pangasusufus]

I discovered this band because someone threw a broken mix cd on the ground in a parking lot and i was able to find out the list of songs that were on it. I was very lucky that day.

[@brittanysmith1636]

Are you fkng kidding?!?! Me too!! Luckiest day of my life.

[@nicknackrap]

All this pain and yet this music keeps us all connected. Thank you Sean.

[@_hitori_16]

Smile Empty Songs explains my life. Hearing these songs when I'm out of control or breaking down really helps calm me down. Its helping.

[@JDawg8733]

It sure does

[@michaelswhite6948]

Hang in there.

[@Adrian956txs]

This is a band that won’t be understood even by people in rock heavy metal circles but will be understood by the generation it was released in to us this album saved us and gave us comfort that we weren’t the only ones who were feeling this way

[@mollycyrusBlkGrlsRock]

I agree, wholeheartedly. I'm in that generation of Nowhere Kids too.

[@tickedoffnow]

MTV used to be such a good way to discover new music, because of MTV, I discovered this Band and bought the album, crazy how time just flew by, I'm 27 now

[@mollycyrusBlkGrlsRock]

This band is INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED. Sean Danielson has an amazing voice.

[@chrismusser3062]

This song brought me out of my depression this band knows the words to help anybody in life

[@chunkenhead]

A BAND FOR HISTORY TO NEVER FORGET

[@Kyle06531]

One of the most beautiful songs ever. I'll never stop listening to it. Thank you Sean.

[@DowntownTasty]

All their music gives me goosebumps, and that is the sign of true music

[@rustysussen5225]

This band was in the background when I was on video chat on house arrest. They got me through the 11 month unable to go outside and love my homies. I had my grandparents though. We watched western movies and ate twk dinners alot. Turned 18 with that ankle monitor on. That was in Illinois Got off that. So I moved to my dad's house. Watched as California went to double shit again. Moved to my mama house in Idaho. Went through shit again. Was homeless in the college town. I came down here and my life a western movie. One street town. I stay to myself and I got a girlfriend. She has a son. Love that little guy.

[@xTechDeath]

Every once in awhile I think about this band and get the sudden urge to listen to this song. So good

[@jabbarmuhammad]

One of my favorite underrated bands

[@littlejon789ify]

Im actually seeing them live tomorrow night. Im 27 and have loved this band for a long long time. I know how they have alrrady changed my life but seeing them live is only going to make it better

[@TheChoktaw]

30 years old and i still completely relate them... such a good band...

[@lyndsayclark3867]

joseph daniels I'm going to be 32- and I TOTALLY get it!

[@TheChoktaw]

Lyndsay Clark its crazy how somethings always hold their worth

[@hillmadaris]

I'm 65 and have loved this band since the days when my kids watched them on Fuse.

[@TheUndeadOhioan1999]

In all honesty it should be a crime how underrated Smile Empty Soul is. Personally I think a major reason is due to SES being the type of band whos songs becomes the voice for people who are struggling, saying the things some people are for one reason or another too scared to say. I Want My Life, Stay Alive, Don't Ever Leave, With This Knife. I could go on about the amount of times these past few years I've struggled so bad, but I've found comfort when I heard THIS

[@AshleyNash-qp8ec]

I bought their cd a long time ago, however my CDs were stolen. I enjoy this band and would often go walking and listening to this song and others by Smile Empty Soul on my CD player.

[@chinmoylahkar6731]

this guys are pure true hearted Rock stars. I am glad of their existence and their songs are like heaven.

[@Frostmoonx]

This album saved my life as well. It really brought me through some hard times and I can't wait to see Smile Empty Soul in June. :)

[@stephenseibicz5764]

This song was and still is literally the voice of reason when my life is crazy, instantly makes everything easier to deal.

[@JabbarMuhammad-s5h]

Great song hell of a good album

[@justbecause7625]

One of my secret favourites. Smile empty Soul, thanks for saying what I couldn't. Been listening for years. Still enjoying it all now 2019 (almost 2020

[@Shrublandsprite]

Youre not alone. There are so many people feelin like you do. But there is a way. I found it. Never lose hope

[@Agapelovestudio]

This song got me through some dark times of addictio s and still makes me cry to this day 2 years sober

[@mobi259]

I really missed this song it's beautiful

[@esc_cHeLAs]

First got this cd when I was 7 years old, my dad liked the band so I liked them. Never really connected with the songs personally until I hit high school, and then even more a year or two ago. Hands down best album/band in my musical collection.

[@jeremysiles4868]

Still one of my favorite songs , and I learned how to play it :)

[@OutpostMaineMusic]

Great album really helps with my depression and anxiety, I think I have a bipolar disorder because of how I get low and happy every day

[@The_M_Files]

this album saved my life... true story

[@overcomefatceo]

Having gone through divorce with two beautiful kids…. I miss waking up everyday to see them and putting them to bed every night 😢

[@StayingTrue-sq9ry]

my girl and I sing it but we say "I want my life, with you by my side"...

[@littlejackiesquints]

This song reminds me of my good old friend DJ. I miss singing this song w him on the days where I thought I couldnt go on any longer. DJ u r always forever in my heart

[@simonbayliss1254]

What a song!!!

[@lildogz9723]

my parents split up and I got through this by working very long hours for three years I want my life back and when I wake up I want my dad to still be here back to the way it was :(((

[@TheFukkup]

i know how u feel....keep your head up..im sure you learned alot from your father just include that in your life and live on the best you can

[@kilmorecombine0]

***** amen

[@dylanedwards3375]

Such a fantastic song. words cant explain how amazing this is and how many lives this band will touch.

[@lianacampos5751]

I forgot how much I loved them. I haven't heard this album in a long time

[@dinkum83]

we all deserve someone!! unfortunately most of us have to deal with these few awful people that are around.. just know that one day your search will lead you face to face with that special someone, when you least expect it!!

[@gavinfann7041]

My parents split 5 years ago when I was 16... it's been 5 years and it seems to still bother me even though it's not at the forefront of my thought process anymore. Ever since it seems like it's been an up hill climb to fight for a better life despite the bitterness that event instilled in me. Trying to keep the faith my mother placed in me, losing it eventually. I want my life back from the anger and grieving. These guys, Seether and Alter Bridge seemed to save me to this day.

[@ciliary_deathband]

Who could hate these guys? They're great.

[@fernandocruz3477]

great song , bring me good memories in high school 🫠

[@planthairdman16]

pure brilliance!!!!!!!!! i love smile empty soul!!!!!!

[@batmauer7481]

its pretty interesting..this band has related to my life in so many ways with each song at a different stage in life and always has the same message that life will get better as long as you stick with your dreams...this song kinda sums it up as a whole...i want my life

[@baywest]

Definitely my favorite song from this band.

[@krod2k]

Brittney Lynn Saas...you are very sweet and a wonderful person to take time out and talk to relative strangers. May you be blessed in your life.

[@Llewellan]

GREAT WAY TO GO.... to hell with everyone who takes others down. I am in my mid 50's. So bullied at school,(and I was really good looking, and a great figure, but so - so shy), such a long time ago,lived with it, suffered much. BUT NOW I AM SUITABLY MYSELF. 'you go and get "it all for yourself".... NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF.....

[@brandonroberts9490]

i saw them when they first put this album out when the were touring with trapt and they were amazing and this album still does wonders for me

[@dwill7707]

This song reminds me of how emo I was in high school. As if High school was even remotely difficult compared to everything that happens afterward LOL This song helped me get through "tough" times but now that I'm actually in tough times, this song does not express my desired emotion. I now prefer a "heavy metal" attitude. Don't let this whiny stuff keep you in a "feel sorry for me" mode. Do or do not, there is no try! Still, this song owns hard! SES still one of my favorite bands!

[@LordAddragoth]

I too am joining the service. I leave shortly. But I do not want to anymore. I will do it but I will be away from the one I love and my friends and family for well over a year. I am afraid of what might happen upon my return. This is honestly the first time I have been afraid.

[@grunsfeldband]

that album was the album that got me through allot of high school so i learned the entire album on guitar there one of the most underrated bands out there

[@johnwilletts8560]

hey dan frost I feel the same way about this band they gave me hope when I felt like everything was over when I lost my friends mike and Jessie to a car accident my two rocks...... I felt solice in the words of smile empty soul and 3 days grace two under estimated bands

[@snoopbam2012]

loved this song 2 years ago and i love them now. this song got me through a rough patch in my teen years:)

[@MegaBoobears]

I feel this way , great song . Thx for posting

[@francosamericanmusings1560]

This song saved my life multiple times...

[@batmauer7481]

this band saved my life...true story

[@sa22driver]

I lost my dad a week from my birthday last may. I've been unemployed for 8 months and I can't even get a job at Mcdonalds and I used to be a store manager at a restaurant. My cat got hit by a car 2 days ago. I'm 25 and I don't see myself making through another year. I feel like I'm losing my mind and I can't sleep. Everything used to be great. I want my life back.

[@Makaveli2000]

hope you're doing better now

[@planthairdman16]

this song is a gem! it gets me every time!

[@ForeignSpices]

Don't give up y friend. You are loved, Never by who you expect it from at first, but if it's one thing I've learnt from this band....it's that no matter how hard it gets, keep faith in the lord...We are all imperfect, but with him by our side, no one can be against us...afterall Jesus is all we really need...the rest is what we want.

[@777xxvv]

I love this band so much, and I love the music..... but every time I listen to their music I get sad.

[@ForeignSpices]

@CheersBros Hi Cheers! I have felt the same way a long time ago. It was really tough to cope with everything going on around me, I had no friends, was way to shy to even speak to a girl. No one I could trust. But someone once told me that when I grow up, I would understand that Mankind will always try to do everything with their own strength, understanding, and reason. Now, I'm only 21 now, but I already know what it means. It means to not depend on others to live a happy life. trust in God.

[@rainnydays13]

I love it, its so pretty. I can relate to the lyrics. at first I was iffy about this band but this song made me fall in love with them. amazing.

[@michaelgoodman3399]

Speaking of pretty, I've been called this before. I don't necessarily take offence to it it's more of a universal truth, for a band who claims to have no soul, it's sure is a soulful song, I guess 'The I Want My Life' chrous can be related to anything from a controlling spouse who doesn't let you go out to a bar on Saturday night to catch up with mates to the detrimental effects a drug like methamphetamine or crack has on a person's life. Either way, it's interesting to read everyone's personal interpretation of the song.

[@kendracrisp2984]

I've had people knock me down all my life. Now I have only one goal in life. Finish my Tafe course get as much money as I can and take the next flight on out of this country and go and see the world. That's my life. Don't give up on your own life :)

[@destroyingevilinc.5951]

Timeless !

[@robertmorales496]

still on my favorites list

[@PapaSmurf11182nd]

Dude, this album isn’t on Spotify! So this is a huge to find on YouTuve

[@KScarpettafan83]

@rickmaff Hi, thanks for choosing to serve our country! Good luck at Basic, and beyond that as you head to your job!!

[@Jeaners1789]

[@MrMikeSativa]

I wish I could wake up with the only woman I have ever loved.. I miss you Michelle..

[@joshuamarion7441]

I always listen to this song when I'm depressed

[@ksal854]

Jammed this album since day damn one! 🤘

[@melissatoni8633]

And I pray Annie Stella isn’t bothering you or trying to buy you lol Love and good humor back always even though we both let go.

[@crushsatanshead777]

this entire song describes exactly my way of thinking its almost like sean danielson grew up with me

[@hayleylovesjordann09]

this song is Amazing :) love the lyrics. ! x

[@jabbarmuhammad8804]

Such a good song

[@tinyjester27]

I hate....and love this song so much.

[@MrMikeSativa]

tinyjester27 yep. It's so hard to listen to, but also helps.

[@rnrhmam]

tinyjester27 Yeah! me too.

[@michaelgoodman3399]

​@MrMikeSativa So there is an ambiguous feeling attached to this song.

[@xstraightedgechrisx]

It's like I'm always wrong and made so many mistakes, and I never did anything.

[@Wellingenable]

i want my life back. i changed class from a very good class to a bad one, just cause i thought my friends in the bad class really were my friends... but a year after i switched class, they just ignored me and kind of bullied me. at this time , i had lost my friends in the other class. and now there is just a half year left of the school before high school for me. im strogn enough to go through a half year! and when high school start , im gonna make sure i get some real friends. this is my life.

[@michaelgoodman3399]

I see where you're coming from. I've seen what bullying can do to a young person's life. There was more to it than this, but short story short a life was ended, it was heartbreaking to say the least and the effect it had on a family members life contributed to this, I was working as a landscaping apprentice at the time and was using a gerni to clean out the grass clippings and a dirt build up from under the deck of a Hog Zero Turner it was my bosses pride and the Dandenong run as he called it, we went into Doveton as well, we did this every 2 weeks or so, the reason I bring this up is my sister had to push past the pain and continue her schooling with her Cert 3 in becoming a Beautician (It could of included hair dressing) anyway her mate was doing it as well so it's understandable why she dropped out and ended up pursuing Maccas where she did the drive thru and took orders as the Maccas check out woman she was fairly efficient at her job mind you but her boss was most likely jealous and gave her a hard time, a hint of unprofessional behaviour in the work place as i like to call it, I'd would count this bullying is my point, her other manager I think had a more respectful attitude towards her.

[@abesydneypink3312]

God how this song tastes so much sweeter now

[@PhillySwerve]

I've locked myself in my room with booze and just listen to this for hours.

[@twiztidzlette]

love this song. this album helped me when i was,13

[@kilmorecombine0]

Awesome song.

[@Aztlevel]

Love this band. And by the way I love your description info of the video. Thats what everybody should be putting down. Smart move bud!

[@Guitarfreak4ever123]

Why do their tracks not have over 1 million views!?

[@NickM95vids]

Worst that happens is ppl don't accept u for who u are but that's how u filter true friends. Just take what u wnt from life. talk to this chick and no matter how many let downs are on ur bck just keep movin forwarde and u cant not achieve...

[@sarahobscene19]

Geez they make me feel like a teenager again. Like im in high school, walking down the hallway, heading to my car, or to class. :// I want that life back. Being an adult sucks.

[@melissatoni8633]

Hey and random: Love to Kaitlyn Stevens. I’m outside with the stars right now and the tree sounds. You’re nothing like Norma, obviously, and I hope for nothing but the best for you and your daughters ❤️🩷☀️🤍🌌 You have intuition, soul, heart, kindness, and good humor.

[@reladham]

being genuine doesn't apply to many people actually. Even though I was treated horribly and maliciously betrayed by one, it should still be noted that there are many of them on both sides.

[@Sinamundk]

@SistahxofxMetal me too. those words mean a lot to me looking at my life now.. and how i wish could go back.

[@courtneycallins2000]

i am so sorry for u something simular happened like to me

[@Delsonseaman]

[@derekgriffin435]
