Nathan Wagner - Depression

[@nathanwagner762]

I remember what it's like to go years and years and years without feeling anything. Numb and jaded. Absolutely vacant. If that's where you are, I love you. And I'm sorry. It can feels so hopeless. But please keep fighting. I thought the best life experience I'd have was just making it through the day. I thought I'd never be able to genuinely "Enjoy" anything. But, it got better. It took years. But it got better. I love you all. Don't give up hope.

[@amberfitz-randolph392]

Thank you for that I don't want to articulate how much I needed to read this right now! Yesterday was difficult woke up triggered by night terrors and immediately got into verbal blowout with roommate. Flipped out enough that I abruptly punched several walls and doorframe the way you might slam your fist down on the table when you're pissed. Your comment describes better than I could how I've felt in the weeks leading up to that. We absolutely can't give up it's just so damn impossible to believe and feel like anything will ever be okay again during those dark moments it's very difficult yes. Talked everything through and calmed down a bit slower than I've been able to before but yes calmed eventually. I'm not sure how I got this much swelling bruising and such yet I promise y'all I didn't feel a thing when I was swinging and punching. No medical attention needed nothing like that and definitely safe mental health wise but that left me rattled it's the first "self injury" incident in years. Same way you totally lose hope emotionally get numb apparently you can get numb enough to break your own self and not feel anything. Well over an hour and a half passed by before I realized that my hand wasn't feeling very normal lol.

[@hhswerewolf9628]

most of the time I feel that way, I used to have someone who made me not feel so alone but they passed away a few years ago now i feel alone even though I'm surrounded by people.

Really needed to hear that because i live my life numb and in constant pain of lonliness. ❤️‍🩹

Song of the year

[@Lisa.359.]

Thank you!! This song is just amazing and it means so much. It's a great feeling to know that you are not alone and it means so much more if you get this feeling from your favorite artist. I don't know for how long I am listenig to your music but I know that I do it every day for some time now. Your Songs are a safeplace where I can go to when things get rough or even if I had a good day. All of your Songs make me feel good because I feel understand and safe. And listening to your beautiful voice and music makes me very happy. I'm so greatfull for every Song you write and for every Story you share with us. Thank you so much! I really hope that you are going to share your music with us for a long time and wish you and your loved ones only the best. I normaly don't coment on videos but I just needed to say this one time. Thanks!!!

[@hihungryimcam]

Nathan, I've listened to your music since I discovered "Lonely" years ago. I'm a 21-year-old musician and composer. I have been analyzing music since late elementary school and playing instruments (piano, guitar, and drums) and singing most of my life. I also have struggled with severe and treatment-resistant depression and anxiety (starting around 13) and OCD (my whole life). I had to medically withdraw from college in 2022 for 8 months due to the severity of my depression, and I stayed in a psychiatric unit for a few weeks. I 100% mean it when I say that this is, truly, potentially the best song I've ever heard. It is so powerful. The lyricism captures the hopelessness and feeling of being ignored by those around me. It highlights how incredibly painful it has been living on this planet and trying to get through each day. Your voice is just...unbelievable. The distorted E5s around 4:50-5:50 are insane. The score is absolutely beautiful and so full and dynamic. You've been refining your craft for years, and it shows more than you know. I've also noticed how encouraging you are in comments on your videos. You are truly amazing. This is wild.

DEPRESSION Tell me will you miss me when I’m gone If I’ve fallen to the enemy Will you keep me in your memory Tell me will you save me from the dark If I let you see a little glimpse Of what living’s like inside my skin Oh I’m drowning and nobody knows Oh They never listen Don’t wanna let the light burn out But all I see are stormy clouds And They say it’s gonna be okay I’m trying to keep the faith But every thing keeps passing by Years’ll go still black and white Seems nothing ever turns out right It’s hard to be alive Tell me what’s the meaning of it all When the sunshine loses it’s coloring Seems like all I know is suffering Tell me will you catch me if I fall Even deeper in this underworld Will there ever be a hand to hold Oh I’m drowning and nobody knows Oh They never listen Don’t wanna let the light burn out But all I see are stormy clouds And They say it’s gonna be okay I’m trying to keep the faith But every thing keeps passing by Years’ll go still black and white Seems nothing ever turns out right It’s hard to be alive Tell me will you miss me when I’m gone If I’ve fallen to the enemy Will you keep me in your memory Tell me will you save me from the dark When the sun loses it’s coloring Seems like everything is suffering I’m so afraid I’m so afraid I’m so afraid I’m so afraid So lost within the dark Keep praying for a spark A guiding light to Rid me of this suffering Free me from these troubling Shadows shouting Oppressing my mind Craving their Bounty won’t Leave me behind Can you hear me? Can’t save myself Not from this hell Is no one listening? I might need help I see her trembling in the dark With the weight of the world in her scars I’d lend hand if there’s anything she’d need I know exactly what it’s like to feel so weak So I’ll run out with everything I have Pull her out up from that deadly sinking sand You’re not alone you’re not alone Don’t give up hope don’t give up home You’re not alone you’re not alone Don’t give up hope don’t give up hope You’re not alone you’re not alone Don’t give up hope don’t give up hope

I expected a song of hope, after so much suffering, so much sadness, so much loneliness, this song is a true musical, literary and emotional masterpiece. It is simply a song for me and for many of us it reaches our souls, it gives us that breath we need from the constant struggles with ourselves, with our internal darkness, with our emptiness... Thank you nathan for doing more than just music and giving us that break, you went too far, you reached more than just our ears, you managed to reach our soul. Thank you again

This song… no this symphony of sadness is your best work man! It screams out loud everything I feel when I get in this place. I’m better most the time now but still look forward to the end of it all. No one has ever made a perfect masterpiece of pure emotion in my opinion.

[@SurviveUntilSunrise]

Some of your songs just go so beyond “striking a chord” with the soul that it’s hard to describe it in a phrase that exists, it’s like it deserves its own new word.

We will all get through this with patience and kindness and never giving up all I can suggest is cradle his heart as I do mine. Even if he was never able to get over the pain, the extreme fear or the paranoid thoughts of being abandoned and betrayed mostly I will never give up on him. I hope the same goes for everyone.

I have dealt with depression for a long time and I often find comfort in your songs, Nathan. This song is so beautiful and meaningful to me. This song, to me, feels like a sad embrace on a lonely night. Like someone who knows how your suffering feels and is there with you to deal with it. Thank you for bringing me and all other listeners comfort with your songs. They mean so much to me and I'm not quite sure how to fully express it. I love this song so much. Excellent job

[@infingirl8488]

Not even a minute in, I burst into tears. Not because I have felt this, but because of the empathy I have for the people who live and breathe these lyrics. I want to help them... I want to see that they are not alone. I have to remind myself that empathy is so very important, that even the glimpses of encounters with depression, either firsthand or secondhand, are immensely valuable to the people who you are trying to reach... but it's all so hard, for both the depressed and the one who loves them, to see someone and know they might be feeling these things. It's so very hard... thank you, Nathan. I don't even know what to say, but I needed to be woken up again to those around me. Thank you.

[@nathanwagner762]

Of course! Much love! Thank you for listening!

[@KatWarhound]

People like you are so valuable to those of us going through depression. When we're going through it, it feels like everyone in the world must being going through the same thing b/c everything feels so hopeless and like there's no joy or strength left in the world. So it makes it seem like it's not ok to ask for help b/c you can't ask another broken person for help and put more weight on them. But when people like you speak up and say they are not going through that, it's such a source of hope because it makes us realize that not everything is basically dead; that there are still people who feel joy and hope and are happy to share it. Thank you!

[@infingirl8488]

@@KatWarhound Thank you for sharing, friend! It warms my heart. As a chronic empath and someone who knows people who struggle with depression, it can be a challenge sometimes to continue being there for them when I know there is little I can do to fix the matter. But that is not my job to fix things, is it? I can't fix everything wrong in this messed-up world. I instead try regardless to still be there for the people who need me, even if at times I wonder if I should give up. I haven't yet, and it has been an uphill climb, eventually. There is always hope and a way out of the darkness, no matter the struggle. Keep clinging to that truth!

[@KatWarhound]

It's so interesting to hear your perspective! My husband is also an empath and although he still struggles to keep giving into situations that seem to have no fix, he's found the best solution is to never expect anything in return. He just does everything b/c it feels good to give and remembers that the people he's giving to are broken and can't give him anything back and that's why they need help in the first place. I guess real love doesn't expect you to pay it back, right? He's become a much happier person b/c of it. So, keep being a hero! People desperately need a true kindness and love, even if they're too broken to say so. Your kindness makes a huge difference! @@infingirl8488

Nathan, to be honest, i'm getting back to listen to all your songs and it's... just what helps me all the time... Every single time it's like "Oh, my man released a new song! it deffinetly makes the whole day or week much better and calm for me, thank you..." A few sleepless years (3 hours of sleep per night and then i was listening for your songs on repeat) Sometimes then you think that you're just a freak with the broken soul full of scars from the ones you love most, with tormented thoughts, but no one knws it, cuz you don't wanna cause them any pain and you dan't wanna be the reason of their tears, anger, shame, all that stuff, i think you can understand me somehow, and after all things said... just big thankses from my heart to you, you're some kind of a hero, it's complicated for me to say any of this... to put it into words... but i think you can understand what it's like to feel that way, i'm good at holding on for the right amount of time without showing anything, but your tracks... your soul that you put in it, helps me in the hardest times.... I would like to talk about it with anyone to be honest...

[@Da_868]

Wow, that hits hard. And nine minutes too? You're spoiling us! I wanted to pick it some vocal highlights, but I can't, I love how you sing the whole thing! The vocals, the cadence, the arrangement of the music, the whole things just flows so brilliantly. That's not even mentioning how you have once again nailed the emotional expression! I really love how your longer songs take you through a whole experience or thought process. A lot of it is so relatable that it can hurt, but by the end I'm full of hope and feel really good! Towards the end reminds me of a time when the only time I believed I'd be okay is when I was convincing others that they'd be okay. The entire song is really powerful, but there's a special kind of power from 7:51 onward. Thank you Nathan, your songs are a blessing. ❤️

You are 62 years old, but share my fate as being bounded to the wheelchair and this kind of pain does not differ from two persons different ages. I learnt my lections the hard way, but at the end it counts that I learnt them. I became more passionate, more patient, more measure, but before everything I became more happy. And in the end this is what will stay... I can do a few steps by now. I really hope I can try and believe in a mercyful God, I have a friend up there in heaven who died with 17. It is for people like him I hope there exists a heaven, cause he never thought of himself first. And to learn he passed away so shortly after being released from hospital, I noticed what it really would have meant if I were gone that age. What I would have missed. I thought I was ready and maybe I was, but I am not anymore. I hope you and I are granted so many more beautiful years on this earth and keeping our deceased loved ones forever in our hearts.

Thank you so much for sharing this song with us. Lately, it's been feeling like I'm slipping back into that dark place, and so hearing this song was really something I needed. I've struggled with depression and self-harm for a while, and as of today, I am 8 months clean, going on to 9 in a few weeks. Your songs have provided me comfort and helped me through the worst times of my life, and I truly believe that's what helped me get this far. I remember hearing your cover of "Would Anyone Care" by Citizen Soldier, and I absolutely fell in love with your voice. Since then, I have been listening to your songs on repeat, especially when going to sleep. So, thank you, Nathan.

This hits home for me so much. I suffered from depression some years ago, trying to make it through the day while forced to sit at home each and every week. I self harmed, locked myself in my room and denied all the symptoms I had. It was finally that I had the courage to tell my mother what had been happening to me that I finally was able to seek help. This song brings back so much of those memories, but in a good way. It reminds me how I was able to overcome my fear of death and that I always will have friends surrounding me that will support me. Thank you for your music Nathan, it has saved me.

I love the longer song format. Just like Anxiety Extended, by the end of the music you feel like you've just finished a journey, or a whole story, told in only 8 or 9 minutes but more profound and deep than many longer tales. I also tend to try and imagine characters I've made up, played, or written going through stories matching with the lyrics of the song whenever I listen to more dramatic music, and Nathan's voice and songs are just so perfect for that. I thank both God and you, Nathan, for your music. You are... unparalleled in talent, writing, and pure raw emotion. Some people's voices just carry *so much* of what they're feeling, and it makes the song more than just music; it makes it something that connects to your very soul. You are one of those people.

[@HeathenSWolf]

Perfectly captures the essence. Thank you for that. I clawed myself back from depression and it took ~15 years. 15 years just lost to nothingness and void. Last voices in my head that kept telling me that I'm nothing and there is no reason to do anything went silent 7 years ago and I'm still on guard, because I know that they are there, just silent now and forbidden to ever see the light of day again. Depression is cunning and it takes a LOT to win yourself back from it, while it takes little for it to settle in. Still remember how proud I was to feel anger for the first time - first pure emotion after years of nothingness. Made me understand that there are no negative emotions - the only negative thing is lacking any emotion. That little angry light from within helped me to finally push things the right way. Then came sadness, regret, envy - I welcomed everything with open arms, cause all of it made me feel after long years of bleakness. Was almost overwhelemed by all of it, since nobody was there to tell me how to deal with this much. And now I know happiness, love, even that little feeling when you are pleased that you ate some tasty food. I had nothing. But fought a long war within and took it all back. I won. And songs like these were the thing that helped me continue at that time, without forcing me to do anything but telling me that I'm not alone. It does get better, people. It just takes time. Sometimes a long time.

Nathan, you don't know how much your music has helped me. The messages into your songs keep me going, and I know that someone out there who also listens to them, feels the same as I do. In moments when I feel lost, alone and not understood, I just remember that there is you - the creator of such masterpieces, whose music will support me always.

[@nathanwagner762]

Much love!

[@mischasteen8262]

Dear Nathan, I don't comment much, but I listen to your every song and am following your journey since the beginning, when I came across your song Lonely. I appreciate your songs so much. The music, lyrics, emotions. Everything. It makes me feel things and most of them are very relatable to me. This one especially, because I've been dealing with depressions basically since I was a kid. I just want to tell you how much you've grown since then and that I'm proud of you. You deserve many more listeners and views, but at the same time I have a feeling that living in a spotlight as a big star might destroy this honest, sensitive and artistic side of you, because that kind of world is too cruel. I'm looking forward to your other songs and when you finally release the album you spoke about in some comments. I wish you only the best and I will keep supporting you. Lots of love from Czech republic.

[@nathanwagner762]

Hey! Thank you so much for your kind words. So grateful you took the time. Sorry to hear you've struggled with depression. It can be so unbearable. Sending all my love. To know you've stuck around since lonely means everything. Bless you

@@nathanwagner762 I think I speak for everyone when I say that we’re glad you are in a much better place now. As someone who had dealt with severe issues in the last few years, and thank G-d is now in a wonderful relationship with someone who makes it all worth it, I can safely say the road to recovery is very much an ongoing journey, but one I now have the strength to continue on. Your music has gotten me through some of the hardest times in recent years, and I have absolutely no doubt it will continue to do so for each and every one of us. You are my favorite personal artist, and one day, I’d love to collaborate. (Or in truth, just jam out) G-d bless!

[@misawar1335]

Another song that blessed my day. Every song you make is filled with so much emotion, and I love it. I wrote so many scenes of my book on your music, and it always helped me be a better writer in terms of transposing the feelings across. Thank you for all the work you are doing and for the art you are sharing with us. I do believe God gifted you with a special power: to be a comforting shoulder for those in need of support through your music. Maybe not everything makes sense in the present, but at the end of the story, everything makes sense, and everything is worth it. It is a fight after all. Fight on beautiful people. Thank you for your music, Nathan :) Please stay healthy and safe, both you and your wife ( and family). You are lovely people, and I pray for both your happiness and passion for your music.

It's funny this came out exactly when I needed it. I mentioned on another song I think it was "stay with you" that someone close to me was going away and finally Wednesday of this week he did leave. We both spent almost 2 years together and in that two years we grew this bond from nothing to something that goes beyond my understanding. We both dreaded Wednesday and when it was time, I felt nothing but depression. I still do. I feel slightly guilty moving on and doing things without him when everyday I did something with him. This song and "Drown" actually go hand in hand for me. Who will fix me now? It's a climbing battle but eventually I will be ok. I will not give up hope. Thank you so so much for making this...easier. Music is in my soul I can't compose it for the life of me so I rely on talented artists like you to be that composer and create the emotional pieces a lot of people look for.

I've been in the absolute worst place of my life the last few weeks. It's been nothing but confusion and anxiety, an existential hell. I'm at a point where I don't feel like figuring anything out, I don't know who to listen to or go to for help, and I don't know what to believe. I just feel so burnt out. Each time I feel anything good, it just collapses, and everything I believe just turns to doubt. I'm just so tired because it's either anxiety, or worry or something else, and trying not to sink or crumble to it is exhausting. And I'd love to figure things out, move on, feel good again, but I'm just not near that point. This song just embodies that entire feeling and strikes that indescribable feeling inside. I can tell you know the feeling by experience because it's something you only can understand or feel from going through it. I'm hoping that I can get to the other side as well. I want to thank you sincerely for the song though, I haven't been able to get out how I feel in a while, but I legitimately cried this time. One of those torrential vile feeling ones that just washes out all those unspoken things. It really made the weight fall away. Keep doing what you're doing

Great to have been here during the premiere! This song is so beautiful. The music, the background, the lyrics, they all come together to create something authentic, a true "Nathan Wagner song", something only you could make. I can't thank you enough for the music you create. I sing your songs all the time and they really help me express my feelings. When I'm sad, they make me feel lighter, because somehow they express the sadness inside of me. Same when I'm happy. I can't imagine what it'd be like to be without your music anymore. I'm so glad you managed to get out of your depression and that you're able to do what you love and to be with the woman you love. You're a huge inspiration. Much love, Lisa

Thank you! I appreciate you joining the premiere!

[@fandujapon]

I'm saying it here because I feel like Nathan's comment section is the only place I can talk about what's going through my mind without feeling guilty, or worried about anything. Sometimes I feel like I need to always do my best to keep my relationships and if I just slow down a little, I'll be left alone. It feels like nobody I feel close with is feeling what I do. And they just like the me who's doing everything for them not the true me who's hiding behind a mask again. Even the people I trust the most, sometimes seems like they actually don't like the real me. Like there's no way they would. Then I hear Nathan' songs and remember to hang on a little more and try to fight this negativity

[@nathanwagner762]

I'm so sorry. Sending my love. I know I used to try so hard to earn love. Different things had happened in my past that made me feel so worthless and unworthy. It's no fun. Not at all.

"I did not want the light to burn out" That was exactly the reason I decided to jump at 17. I thought, rather die today, than living a life full of regret. And I was sure in 20 years I would regret my every action and loose what is most important in life: Love and freedom. Now I want to live again, cause I found these things again. I am still partly paralyzed now with 19, but I am more happy than I ever was. Sometimes after the fight of your life there is relieve and death is not the only solution to find it. Noone can put my experiences, so many peoples experiences, in words the way Nathan did. Props again. These songs still help me through my rehab, they do it for two years now 👏
