So interesting/funny you posted this so recently. I have to mentally prepare myself to listen to this song. I love it deeply, but at times I literally have to avoid it. Today, for some reason, I landed on it.

[@vickvick4290]

I know this is lame as fuck but in 08 when I played shake it out for people I knew it was like they weren't hearing the same song I was. I connected to the music though it was a real f uped time for me. If it were possible to be more fucked up in life I dont know how let's just say. But I think what I'm trying to say is your music hits you like a sledge hammer at certain times and that's the power of it. Once it hits you that's it your a lifer. Please keep it up guys cause you help alot of people. Whether you know it or not. Its therapy for many of us. This is coming from a person that lost everything and now 10 years later still love you guys and kicken ass in life.

Everyone has different reactions to songs. For me, this song drives home the loss of my son. Life is proper cruel, this we have to accept. Loss or loved ones we have to mourn and remember. They say time heals, which is crap, love heals. We need love from people to help us heal. I find that love in music.

[@tbear23]

So sorry for your loss. Cannot imagine the pain but can send the love. Man hugs to you sir. Keep on.

[@KatieVanzago]

Both love wasn't enough to heal all the loss I have had and it took a lot of time a lot of time and honestly I think as people trickled out if my life is when the pain stopped but that could have been a coincidence with time. Everyone is different but the only thing that kept hope in my heart was what I thought was a bs sentiment "time heals"

[@carolinakent7628]

Beautifully said. I’ve lived through so many losses, including my entire immediate family to tragic and untimely deaths and to me it’s that it takes making new happy memories to offset the grief and horror of the horrible ones and joy to offset the pain, but love is intrinsic to that. Ironically, it can be harder to come by when you need it most and despite where death and loss may seem to bring people together it frequently does the opposite, tears people apart and is very isolating. I felt utterly in what you said, though and that’s one reason I frequently feel survivors are the best people to know, and best people of all.

[@kelseymorelock5492]

I'm Robert God made me schizophrenic. My dad died when I was 19 n I started drugs n done a lot I died three different times. I lived destruction lost everything. I finally quit at 35 and I lost my mind seeing n hearing the voice's was so much I would cry out to God. I spent 2 yrs in a mental hospital where I found God I prayed not for myself but for him I said to him I cant imagine what you go through n now the voices stopped. I had to love myself before he'd help me. This song helps it slows everything down. Thank you for this song

The first time I heard this song I was on a trip with friends at the beach. It was the night before we all left, everyone was in bed for the night I was taking stuff to my truck because I wanted to get an early start in the morning. This song was playing over a speaker from somewhere next door. Didn't see anyone. Didn't hear anyone. Just me, alone in the dark, with this song. I sat down and listened and it's a moment I will never forget. One of the eeriest and wonderful moments I've ever had.

[@stevengill5931]

That would be an awesome experience. It's such an amazing song but to hear it in that situation, alone and being there just at the right time with just the music. Lucky bugger.

[@scottarrowsmith3649]

This will stay with you forever. Moments like this are so powerful. 1991 I take a roadtrip to cali with the top off my jeep. As I break the top of the hill, first time I am listening to The Cure's Mixed Up album the opening chords of Hot Hot Hot hit. 2024 all I have to hear is the start and I go back. Now anytime in your life when you hear a couple of chords its going to take you back to that place. These moments.....you are a luck one!!!!!

[@ewiemama]

I was in my college dorm room after buying Bjork’s Vespertine. I had 3 roomates so it was rarely quiet in my room. I laid on my bed and put it on for the first time. There were these bugs outside the window. I don’t know if they were some sort of mosquito or gnats, but there were so many of them. They were floating and swirling around each other very slowly and methodically like no other bug I had seen. The beginning of It’s Not Up To You came on and they truly seemed to be dancing to the music, like they were in a trance. I was sleepy and fading into a nap just watching these beautiful bugs fly around to that delicate music box sound and I knew right then I would never forget that moment. It still sticks with me to this day.

I swear when I say this... it is the BEST song ever heard in my opinion. It opens a fucking gateway to my soul, and can easily send a man off the rails into.a beautiful depression (if there is such a thing). It resurfaces dormant memories for me and I had to have a week off work as I went fucking bonkers and couldnt put the bottle down and had this on repeat. This is a magical song that can break a man down but build him up into a stronger person. I just have to say this from my experiences, ex military, PTSD from war... this song is the BEST SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD! end of story!

Lyrics Why do I deserve the science To feel better about you? At a loss I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me All the while you waste away, you're asking "Did I really need another one to take me down?" Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" That was something your father had burned in me Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity You can go anywhere but you are where you came from Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here

"The Silence" by Manchester Orchestra is a song about feelings of isolation, fear, and the search for meaning in life. The lyrics narrate the struggles of the protagonist as they grapple with their own existence and the overwhelming pressure of society. The song delves into the themes of mortality, hopelessness, and the constant battle to break free from the silence and find genuine connection with others. Overall, it is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the yearning for authenticity in a world that often feels cold and detached.

[@pludd3r]

It makes me wanna scream and and at the sane tme curl up in bed and sleep with the hope of being waken up by him and realising it was just a bad dream. Haven't had a decent nite of sleep since woken up to the news of this tragedy. Missing him so much, Zakk was such a humble amazing loving son. I was his legend, and he was mine. FLY HIGH BOY! THank you MO for such a masterpiece. Can't stop listening to it. xoxo

Have you had her vitamin D levels checked? I think for me improving that helped my mood. The official recommended level is too low too. Sunlight may also help as it provides more than vitamin d and circadian rhythms but protects the mitochondria. We didn't evolve to spend so much time indoors. Also NAC has been shown to improve autism as autistics have higher oxidative stress in the brain (something sunlight may help with.)

[@Lenosi09]

No way, this could have been the story of my life. I just wondered if I had written this comment, but my name is not Tina. Be sure, you're both are not alone. I am the mother, my daughter will soon turn 17. She was hardly depressed at the age of 12/13. She suffers very quiet, but there were seldom moments, when she cried. She desperatley asked me:"Mom, what is wrong with me? Why do I feel, as if anything I am is wrong? And I can not be anybody else than me, even if I try to be a normal kid. I am mess. Everywhere I go, people hate me. I can't stand this no more...!" And I always repeated: "You're more than normal, not less. You are special, you are gifted. I ordered a little unicorn, now I got two little unicorns, you and your sister. And I love you both the same way though you're totally different. And I wouldn't have it any other way." Sometimes she is so rude to me, unfriendly and cold as ice at the north pole. And then one day she came to me and said:"I like you, mom! You are my Safe Place!" 💓 I hope you can feel the meaning of it... This will stand on my gravestone "Safeplace of two" Or I put it on my instagram-bio... ✌️

I lost my dad 2 years ago and this song was the emotional release I needed. It was incredibly painful to listen to this most of the time, but I kept coming back, somehow it was important to feel through the pain and this song helped me connect to that pain. It still hurts to listen to this, but there's lightness mixed into the heaviness now, a lightness of joy in having known my dad and everything he meant to me. To those going through loss and grief, just know that you're not alone. You are loved, and while the pain never fully goes away, it transforms eventually into strength, love and appreciation xx

the strength it requires to allow ourselves to truly experience the pain that comes with an experience as final and shattering as the loss of someone so engrained in our very being, is in and of itself, a very respectable thing. i’ve felt a lifetimes worth of feelings in the past two years. so trust me, i empathize with you. this song did the same thing for me. it broke down the walls. his voice transmits the emotion with so much energy it’s palpable.

So sorry to hear of the "pure hell" of your childhood sweetie! As with all things, good or bad, we learn, and hopefully take something away, and use it in a positive way, later in life! Hope all is well for you now!!!!

Чудово! Я цю пісню слухала за два дні до нападу, росії на мою країну. Тоді ця пісня мене бентежела. Я й не знала, що в мене є спектр відчуттів в тисячі раз сильніше... І ти вже не особистись... Ти країна яку вбивають. Пройшло 3 роки, я адаптувалася. Ця пісня, знову мене бентежить. Але вже по іншомму. Хочу розказати вам таємницю - (Цке не стосується Manchester Orchestra) бо це не рок. До війни я обожнювала рок. На першому дні війни, я сміялася над всіма "шмарклями" рокерів. Не бажаю цього нікоиу.... Ти не сильніше за всіх їх, ти просто блище до смерті. І це не можна кудись відкласти....

Hey, Mike, be strong. You can fight it and win over cancer. But only if you believe you can and have the will to beat it. Only in the west, the word C is not to be spoken. In Asia you Co exist as they rarely do surgery and chemo is not advisable. Let me k ow if I can help, I'm not for big pharma prescribed drugs. I believe in Holistic approach. Love you bro ❤

Hello person reading this, if this reaches anyone. we're from different parts of the world, we lead different lives, we are different people. but yet, this piece, this video, has brought us together. and I will never meet you, but just remember we're still connected by this piece- by simply listening to it, together. it's crazy how the internet can bring people together, huh? and I hope you're doing more than "okay," and if you aren't, remember: you will be okay, and that's a promise. please be easy on yourself- it's been a tough year, I know, but we're almost over it, and you will be happy. I don't know how much you'll remember of this, but I'm glad that our lives intertwined in this little way. have a nice day, or night, and lastly, nice life...

We could never make sense of life, it's meaning, the good, beauty, hurt, grief, pain, joy, love, sorrow. The definitions are endless and at the end of the day we have no other choice but to continue. I have a hard time even writing these words bc I don't know that I even believe them. But we are going through life wether it feels real or not. I just want you to know you are not alone even though your brother is gone. He's still around you, it's not forever, it's only till next time!! I'll be sending you lots of love and strength to help you during such a hard time. ❤

The Silence Lyrics [Verse 1] Why do I deserve the science? To feel better about you? At a loss, I lost my cool I denied that I found you I tried to be a basket case I did not surprise you I'm trying to find a signal fire Let me know when I should move [Chorus] But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me (There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection) (There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection) [Verse 2] Why do I desire the space? I was mourning after you I was lost and lost my shape There was nothing I could do I don't want to waste away It was all I gave to you Take me back and take my place I will rise right up for you [Chorus] But you, amplified in the silence Justified in the way you make me bruise Magnified in the science Anatomically proved that you don't need me [Bridge] All the while you waste away, you're asking "Did I really need another one to take me down?" Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with, darling Nobody's gonna tear you down now There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection (There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection) You might also like [Outro] There was nothing but quiet retractions And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet There's far more bad than there's good, I don't know how it got there" That was something your father had burned in me Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity "You can go anywhere but you are where you came from" Little girl, you are cursed by my ancestry There is nothing but darkness and agony I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking Let me watch you as close as a memory Let me hold you above all the misery Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection

This song also reminds me of my daughter whom i gave custody to my mom and left with my family at age 4 and 1/2 because i was messed up. I was messed up b4 i had her but i put on a face and fought thru it during my pregnancy and the first 4 years of her life. But i eventually crumbled under the weight of lifes demands and my buried pain and long neglected problems. I knew i had to unbury everything and i had to protect her from having anything to do with that struggle. Im 42 now and shes 21 and im still fighting to rebuild myself but theres finally hope. Home is in sight!

I Came across your song this drunkin night, missing my wife of 17 years who lost her battle with cancer 10 months ago. I don't even know what this songs true meaning is but it struck a chord & reminded me how broken I was & am again but also how she never cared about such things. Like we were tailor made. She never needed or deserved someone like me but she loved me anyway. She gave me purpose and responsibility. It's quiet all the time now and even though I know she is gone I still catch myself searching for her to save me again which led me to this song.
