Nicotine Dolls - “The Madness” (Official Music Video)

[@MrHeaven1980]

Who’s here because of his Audition in AGT? He got a very good voice I think this is his time to go places around the globe.

[@Oceangirlcollection1]

I know right !! The whole world needs to see this - intense and real and so good 😿

[@onskosbos]

Wow. Nicotine Dolls. Remember this name, world. This is the sheer artistry and vulnerability we so desperately need in today's music.

[@kschallert3569]

This great grandma thinks you're the real deal. Thanks for your honest vulnerability. Wow. So good. I'm crying....

[@sebrinab.3859]

This song hit hard and brought so much memories of growing up being picked on and hated just because of being me…slapped, slammed, burn my hair, called a ugly witch. Those scars stay with you even now. This song is a magical one and really hits home for me. I’m lucky enough to realize my scars do heal over time. You learn patience, prayer, surround myself with worthy people who care about me. I learned to give more kindness in a hateful world and more compassion for those who have none. Thank you Sam and the Band for being out there in the world 🌎 ❤

[@donnaholiwski1909]

All Nicotine Dolls music needs to be on vinyl, because my stereos need this ❤

“You’ll be fine. You’ll be fine. Just stay alllliiiiiiiiivvvvvvvveeeeeee!” 🔥 His delivery is perfection. The visual depictions, emotional vulnerability, and vocal range is just brilliant. ❤

[@naomilevin7712]

Brilliant

[@sherylthompson4421]

I must say, I’m shocked! This is the first time I’ve actually “seen” anxiety and depression depicted in such an honest way. Thank you for drawing attention to how it really feels inside when these kick in. I wish everyone could watch this. A lot of us think we know how it is and how it feels from watching service announcements or movies. Reality is so very different and frightening not only to the person dealing every day with this but to family members who are trying to understand what is happening to their loved one. Great song, great optics and great lyrics. Acting is superb and right on point. You certainly have a future and I think you’re ready! Best of everything this world has to offer you. ♥️

[@jessiejames1641]

That’s why I love this song, I see parts of myself in it. If you’re interested in seeing more honest mental health Bo Burnhams comedy special on Netflix called Inside makes me feel like my whole brain is on display.

[@TroyMichael86]

So accurate. The lyrics, the visualizations of the music video, and just the spirit of the song, all of it.

[@NoCoder10]

This just shows how much great music is out there….I’m in Australia and stumbled across Sam’s AGT audition on KZbin. This sent me into a Nicotine Dolls rabbit hole and then I heard and SAW this video. What a powerful song and beautifully made film clip. Spoke to me instantly ❤️ Not a watcher of Talent shows, but like to check out new singers through the shows KZbin clips and it’s paid off big time with Nicotine Dolls.

[@mmariemarkel7482]

@@gazepskotzs4 I think, from personal experience, we more precisely, forget how to PLAY, with the same type of abandonment of a child because we're afraid of being thought of as "childish " instead of childLIKE. It's sad we are bullied out of the very thing we should be able to do without people judging. Playing in the rain, squishing and dancing in the mud, building sandcastles, rolling in thick green grass to feel the tickle, deeply inhaling the damp smell of being in the arms of Mother Earth, bathed in the rays of Father Sun, chasing fireflies...all some of my favorite delights as a child, now playing again with my grands. Oh the delight.

Like, I GUESS I'll survive after watching this, but it was a pretty close call, friends.

[@noone9084]

"The madness of being alive". Love that line, this song perfectly described for me the epitome of depression. Yes, everyday is already a struggle trying to find a purpose but you've got to keep moving, that's how our world works and that in itself is insanity. Anyway new fan hope you guys will keep producing such beautiful music. Although the disappointing part is that I can't find your album, I guess I have to wait until something is available in my country.

You have been blessed with a most awesome gift, and I am glad you are sharing it with us. We are privileged to listen. I also want to thank you for this song. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone in this world or with the affliction of anxiety, panic attacks and depression.

Without looking to his future or past, this is one incredible singer and songwriter. A unique sounding voice is a skeleton without flesh (Too much Nicotine?) but this is the flesh and it moves like a holiday light show. I am dancing in my head. This is Real Talent. At this moment. On this day. There is no need to take bets on his future.

[@laurieglanz6832]

Sam, I am so sorry you had to go through all the bullying you did. My oldest brother was the "bully of the neighborhood" and my other brother and I went through literal hell living with him. He beat us all the time! My parents couldn't control him. I told them at 14 years old i wanted to go into a foster home. It was bad. My mind, body and heart cracked all the way through years ago. I never fully recovered. I am so glad you found a out in music! You are awesome. Thank you for sharing.

I've been struggling with anxiety for the most of my life, lately with a little depression. The first time I saw this I was in shock, I felt everything so deeply. I was amazed, moved, angry, scared. I'm getting help but this was a friendly pat on the back to remind me that I'm not the only one dealing with these feelings. If I could, I would hug you. This is a masterpiece. Thank you! I listen to it every time I feel I'm gonna lose it and it keeps me above water.

[@dearcatharine]

OK Sam. I love your voice,could listen all day and night to your songs...but the intensity of your actions in this song make me feel you could easily win an oscar...anyone else agree?

[@julina4547]

I just watched this guy Sam Cieri ( Nicotine Dolls) audition on America's got talent. He is soooo..awesome. he is such an amazing professional musician. What an artist. I was immediately so impressed by his talent and musicality that I could barely wait until the end of his audition to check and see if he had a KZbin channel. He does... I listened to the songs he has up. They were a variety of positive, emotional, energetic, upbeat and powerful. I put thumbs up to all of them. In fact... multiple times throughout each song I wanted to press the button again and then remembered I already had. I'm not even normally not the type of person to put a whole lot of thumbs up on KZbin. His music is original and harkens back musically to the eras of the '80s and early '90s which I love 💕 . His tone is awesome and he communicates enormous emotion and expression. I can't say enough about him. I wish great success 🎉 and would love for him to be a leader in the modern day music industry.

[@franzsebas2009]

If what makes you sad is the bop...this is your masterpiece. I understood after this song why Sam defended the band from AGT which apparently tried to split the band. This song is fantastic not because of only Sam, but the combination of the music, lyrics, deepness...all. Its addicting kind of like Nicotine ;) Seriously, this is THE new band for alternative rock. This is their moment.

[@yomi5251]

Thank you so much for creating this for us, and I feel like it's the most accurate representation of how intense and overwhelming anxiety can be. I'm feeling with you greatly and I hope that everyone who is burdened with it has the power pull through. I deal with PTSD and it is hard being vulnerable in a crowd even if an episode is inevitable. It really deserves to be acknowledged and those experiencing this are valid and deserving of support. I hope that you are okay and even though I don't know you personally you have my support and that I'm glad you took the courage to be this vulnerable. Again, thank you and everyone else who helped produce this and well wishes to your career as an artist!!

This song has become my anthem. I have shared it with everyone I know who battles anxiety and depression. You express it all so well

[@23gage1]

I actually had a panic attack last year from a sudden and overwhelming realization that I was stuck inside of my body with only one way out. I am very claustrophobic, always have been, and have always had anxiety. But I have never, before or sense, had such a profound realization that I AM INSIDE of my body and am stuck there until the end of my life. It took a while for me to calm down and accept this reality for what it is. I definitely leveled up that day. This song is absolutely beautiful.

[@jessiejames1641]

I hate to say that I didn’t find The Nicotine Dolls without AGT - but honestly that was the best advertising that they could have done. This song and film clip in particular really hits hard. The band is officially in my “songs for all events” playlist. Also, Sam smashed it with the acting. The song is amazing - but the film clip is so cleverly done, with a lot of environmental story telling. The bridge just makes my heart drop.

[@mmariemarkel7482]

@Jessie James I suspect that Sam wasn't so much acting as reliving...not to diminish that he's a great actor.

As a person with really bad social anxiety and depression I appreciate that someone finally showed what it’s like to go thru things like this

[@ravendebonair]

I'm not sure how many times I've watched this. Seeing and hearing what lives inside is a harsh awakening but also comforting to know it's not just you who's felt the madness that comes with the chaos. Sometimes it's all you can do to appear "normal" when your mind and emotions feel like they're on a precipice and being shredded raw only making it that much harder to put on the face for people, terrified they can see through the cracks to what's inside. Not just the litany of "I'll be fine. Just stay alive." repeatedly in your mind, but as if telling yourself you'll be fine while your mind feels like it's broken beyond repair and emotions are drowning any glimpse of light. Thank you for this piece of art. It's important for people to feel not so alone in this and for others to catch a glimpse of what many of us deal with every waking minute.

[@mmariemarkel7482]

I'm so excited to watch his success...Sam's voice is my favorite voice, ever. Period. NICOTINE DOLLS LOVER FOR LIFE!

This music rips me apart and embraces me at the same time. Thank you! I haven't felt anything in so long.🥺

The voice, the story, the visuals are all put together nicely. It all shows the emotion so well. I connect to this song in some ways and being able to relate to music opens up a lot of feelings. Has to be one of my favorites of your guy’s songs 3:25 damn that power and emotion

im back again imma just put the lyrics here so i can read along This room I call my body, it's so small and claustrophobic I'm scared, in there Have you ever had a panic attack? Recommend it if you want to know what It's like to be drowning on a city bus I think everyone knows But nobody knows I think everyone knows But no one knows The madness The madness Of being alive, (oh) Of being alive (oh) mm-mm Why's everybody staring at me? Why's everybody waiting for the giants to come And carry me away? Ten seconds, I know I'll be fine Ten seconds of thinking I might actually die But then it subsides I think everyone knows But nobody knows I think everyone knows But no one knows The madness The madness Of being alive Of being alive, oh When you're a kid and the other kids hit you So hard in the head that they blow out an ear drum That takes away your balance, and now you get car sick Standing in one spot And then you get older think everyone knows That you're cracked in the center, and the breathing gets heavy To the point where the water fills up to your eye, like Gasping for life, but it's all in your mind You'll be fine You'll be fine Just stay alive At 13 I started to feel it At 13 I started to feel Alive Alive I felt the madness (alive) I felt the madness, oh (alive) Have you ever had a panic attack? Recommend it if you wanna know what it's like

This song beautifully address panic attacks and the way they make those of us who suffer from them feel. Sam Your acting in this Video is oscar worthy, and your voice tells a story.

Everything he says is so real and honest . Only someone who has gone through it gets it ..

[@Bella-xu2xi]

This is what I think to be the most accurate rendering of what a panic attack feels like that I've ever seen and it breaks my heart. Thank you guys for being so honest and sounding great while doing so.

I showed this video to my friend and she said it was a fine, courageous piece of art. She's right.

[@insonnia1070]

i'm so in love with this song, omg 😭❤️

[@irenerojas7962]

I'm not going to lie but AGT did get me listening the lead singer of Nicotine Dolls. I'm glad because I'm hooked on the group. The best music I've heard in years! They have my support and I'm now a hooked fan! Love ❤️ everything they have out so far! Good for them!

[@markmashburn6963]

WOW! I just saw him on AGT and it was amazing. Then upon searching on here found a few more songs. You really know how to connect with listeners of this song especially. I have social anxiety and have had panic attacks in a few crowded places and No one seems to understand it. It great to hear this song and know that I am not alone. You know it in your head but cannot connect it to not have these anxieties. Thank you so so much and good luck on AGT!

[@renatifouche2998]

Sam! I cried I literally sobbed! You get it and showed how it feels. So much more love and respect for you. Thank you! ❤

...veo con gran emoción que también eres un excelente actor, o quizas hayas tenido esa horrible experiencia...pero también veo con ojos de asombro el inmenso artista que eres junto a los músicos de tu banda...quiera el Señor que los pasos hacia el exito (... creo que ya diste algunos dentro de él) estén cargados de buenaventura, el talento y la humildad en tí sobra...ya eres uno de mis artistas preferidos... ...I see with great emotion that you are also an excellent actor, or perhaps you have had that horrible experience...but I also see with astonished eyes the immense artist that you are together with the musicians of your band...may the Lord that the steps towards success (... I think you already took some within it) are loaded with good fortune, the talent and humility in you are plenty... you are already one of my favorite artists...
