He ain’t wrong monsters do know how to keep from getting up

[@aaronleesgbclieutenant]

Shinedown is one of those bands that their ENTIRE catalog is worth a listen. Im 32, a vet, and a musician. I was also bullied tremendously in grade school. Brent Smith, from Shinedown, Adam Gontier, from Three Days Grace, and Chester Bennington, from Linkin Park. These three voices saved my life multiple times in my teens. Adam and Chester helped me through being down, but Brent is the one that pulled me out to say "fuck this. I'm better than this". Shinedown's entire Leave A Whisper album is amazing

[@Michele_Ferguson]

I'm so glad you turned to music to help you through that time. It's amazing to me how so many don't recognize the power music has.

[@kerrysmethurst3972]

@@aaronleesgbclieutenant i totally here you. I woke in ICU with shinedown in my AirPods. My son’s idea. He said if anyone can bring her back it’ll be her boys. And it’s exactly what happened. I know I geek out all over Shinedown but my connection to them is deep. Obviously they don’t have a clue who I am im not silly to think that they know each fan that they’ve met. I have met them but im a blurred face of 100’s of people on each tour. Doesn’t matter still part of #shinedownnation 🤟🏻

[@wendydotson8891]

I so agree, leave a whisper was my go to. I was never to it saved my life point but it definitely helped me in some dark mental times. And every album is amazing. There’s been a couple in recent years that at first, I wasn’t as into as early stuff but the more I listened, the more I love it! Even when strung out Brent was an amazingly deep person.

[@anessalyn1035]

So the monsters are each individual person. The first is the lead singer, Brent Smith , his monster is his addictions. The second is the little girl whose monster is her grandfather and what he's done to her. The 3rd is the little girls mom. Her soldier husband was called back to active duty, so she cheated on him, and he got killed. Her monster is guilt. The second part is very hard to watch. Great reaction. Brent has been clean for a while now, but it is a struggle.

[@kerrysmethurst3972]

Brent got clean once his son was born and he’s so super fit and healthy now but the demons are always there. And Eric suffers with bouts of really bad depression so it’s no wonder pretty much everything they’ve written is about mental turmoil. Nice to meet another Shinedown nut 🤘🏻 it’s mad I’m a member to a hip hop artist who is my age and is discovering all this unfamiliar rock journey. I joined before he got to SD as I really enjoyed his reactions. I’ve never joined a membership to any other KZbinr. Just felt right 😊

[@meerimew7741]

@anessalyn1035 ty for the explanation! I love the song but never saw the video so I was confused but it was obvious the girl was the daughter not the widow.

[@Jf26111]

I have been confused by the story of this video for years...further confusion by the tie in to Get Up with the same actress (presumably that one comes first). Even if this isn't true, it makes sense and is now the official explanation in my mind.

[@karentheredhead]

​@@Jf26111 get up was written About Eric . The entire album Attention Attention is a story album about the band it's very personal but also every song can mean something else to listener. Get up is the positive to monsters. Basically get up is the song telling everyone don't let the demons win

[@kerrysmethurst3972]

@@karentheredhead there is actually a kinda mini film where the songs and videos play out and Brent says things between the videos and at the end all characters from each individual video all come together gradually and former crowd and then they play the last song that was actually released from the album then write at the very end. Brent says a few words and then joins his band mates and they walk through the doors into the light and sort of disappear into the light, I love it but I love Shinedown so it’s if you’ve got the patience to watch each video for each release from the album and the bits in between so it’s probably about half an hour. I’ve watched it a couple of times and I love it and it all makes sense, all the videos from attention attention sorry to totally nerd out on everyone I always get like this anything Shinedown😂😂😂

[@robertharris2797]

No they have a ton of stuff, and has consistently came out with new music.

Omg omg omg 🙌🏻🙏🏻🥳🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻. We asked. Well I pretty much begged and you’ve given. Had a migraine yesterday so missed it as it dropped. OMG. Turned my KZbin on and it was there in my notifications you’d come back to shinedown. A lot of there songs are about monsters in one way or another. Brent ( singer ) has battled with addiction to alcohol and drugs and is now 16 years clean 🙏🏻. He has demons and also Eric ( bass player) suffers with with bouts of deep depression. Brent wrote the song “get up” about Eric. The music video for “monsters” is the second part of the video to the “get up” video. Pretty much every song has a nod to mental health or is 💯 obvious about mental health. Pretty much every interview Brent will address that they’re a band that have been singing about mental health for the best part of 20 years. There latest release “A symptom of being human “ is all over all the different genre billboards they’ve broken records with how many genres they have had number 1 records and it’s been played on so many radio stations. It’s the relatability and the music video is so relevant to all ages at explaining the issues so so many of us face. As you’ve said before. We are in a mental health crisis. Oh god I could go on and on but I really neeeeeeed you to keep on this journey and my girl Chelsea I know will be echoing what I’ve said. I’m gonna be all over the comments I’m sure like simple man and fan geeking on peoples comments 😂 THANK YOU BP. you made my day !!!! ❤❤

Shinedown started over 20yrs ago. Same singer BRENT SMITH is one of my favorite rock singers. I’m seeing them in a week at a festival they are the headliner. Taking my 3 yr old granddaughter, she absolutely loves Brent Smith. They hold the record for the most no ones @ 23 on the rock charts. Suggest Cut The Cord next. 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@YOLO891]

You guys are going to have a blast good times and I can confirm you are correct about 20 years old they are. I saw them during the sound of madness album and two more times throughout the years and it was awesome to hear his voice echo to a dead silent crowd when he was singing together with papa roach. After he lost all his weight his voice greatly improved live.

[@HeavyTopspin]

He's also done some amazing things outside of Shinedown: acoustic covers as half of Smith & Myers, and amazing vocals on Apocolyptica's "Not Strong Enough." Just an amazing voice that conveys emotion as well as any other vocalist I can think of.

[@sonyadodgens]

That's stilll the same lead singer. When they released the remake of "Simple Man" they also had a hit from the same album called "45." They have a huge range musically and vocally. They sound even better live in concert. They put on a great show! As they have aged, their music has changed, but it's all still phenomenal.

[@dantorrez2]

Attention Attention is my favorite album! It is a concept album, depicting an individual overcoming negativity and related problems to be reborn as a new person. The album is meant to be watched or listened to from start to finish.

BP if you ever get the chance you need to see them live. They are great dudes and they even paid for spirit box to go on tour with them when covid canceled their original tour.

[@chrispatten943]

This is definitely the rabbit hole you want to go down. Their whole catalog is awesome.❤Shinedown singer Brent Smith battled substance abuse and alcoholism for a long time. Though he kicked the habits, he still has to take it one day at a time. "That's how I have to do it, but the dynamic in the song is not just about substance abuse," he explained to Louder Sound. "It's about a lot of different situations that people get put in because they have things in their mind that - for whatever reason - they used to sabotage themselves. They don't know why they do it, but they do it, and these are the monsters that I'm talking about."

[@slypsykoticgrin3058]

Brent Smith is a real one. All of Shinedown songs deep AF. If you want a more inspirational one, try Second Chance. But, you can’t go wrong going down the Shinedown rabbit hole. They have Banger after Banger after Banger. And their catalog is deep.

[@jamescross5094]

Brent smith is amazing vocalist. From his own words on a podcast if you want to know Shinedown check out Sound of Madness. He said that sums up their style for newer listeners

[@feez0118]

Shinedown is for real! Shinedown doesn't get the respect they deserve! Shinedown has more #1 songs (19) then any other band on the rock charts so you have plenty to choose from so keep rocking Shinedown! Best singer in rock & roll and just as good live! \/

[@MegsD79]

💙💙💙 I love Shinedown so much!💙💙💙 I have so many favorite songs but I think 45, Call Me and Save Me are probably the 3 most meaningful songs to me because those songs were released the end of 2009 or the stsrt of 2010 and April 2010 was when I started my journey to get clean from opiates (Oxycontin) and benos (xanax.) These songs were my therapy while I was very sick and detoxing for weeks and then as I continued to work on myself and my recovery the songs were the ones I listened to when I wanted to give up and give in and go get high instead of dealing with all of the stuff I had been numbing myself from. These 3 songs remind me of all of the worst parts of my addiction and how tough it was to get off all of those drugs and how desperate and hopeless I was at that point in my life - they give me strenght now. They are very powerful songs about mental health. Thank you, BP, for reacting to more Shinedown. 💙💙💙

[@kerrysmethurst3972]

Hey. 👋 thanks for sharing your story. I’ve been in some dark places too. Thank you for sharing and you’re amazing for getting clean. Definitely isn’t easy. Shinedown literally woke me up in ICU. My son put my AirPods in on my Shinedown faves playlist and my eyes just suddenly opened. I have no memory of this but my family swear it was a true story. But it just shows the power they have and musically genius’s but lyrically. Stay strong 💪🏻 🙌🏻

[@mattrotton]

The members of the band are strong supporters of mental health and addiction. Lead singer Brent's monsters are alcohol and addiction. He's very transparent about still fighting daily battles with them. A lot of us have monsters . They come in different areas. But they all have the same goal... destroying our lives. Never give up. Never be afraid or ashamed to ask for help. Never think you can do this alone. Reach out. Shinedown has many songs with strong mental health messages. Daylight, symptom of being human, get up, unity, dysfunctional you. Keep going down the Shinedown hwy. Don't stop. Don't slow down.

Your reactions are the best. You consistently listen, learn, and breakdown each song searching for the message and meaning. You keep it real and always speak the truth about how the song may resonate with you. Shinedown has been around for a very long time and the lyrics always have a deep impact and meaning. Each of them has been so open, honest, and transparent about their own monsters. They are huge advocates for mental health awareness and the overall wellbeing of humanity. They are all genuine human beings who consistently spread words of positivity, love, hope, and light. Please go dig deep into the rabbit hole of this band, it's not inspiring, it's life changing. Check out their live videos and you will literally feel the authenticity of these 4 amazing human beings.

[@mattrotton]

There's an acoustic version with just Brent and Zach together. They tour sometimes as Smith and Myers. Doing a lot of cover songs. I saw them at the soul kitchen in mobile Al. But they played this and at the beginning of the song he explained about the songs meaning and he explained about his monsters in his head. He's open about it because he wants to reach out and help. He says his is a daily fight because those monsters in his head have one goal. To eliminate him. Just like the lyrics read. His monsters are real. They know how to fight. And they trying to kill. Hat's off for putting his life out there to help others.

[@joshuastickley2796]

In my opinion the fact you are a rapper checking out music you didn't really listen to on your channel is most likely exposing others like you to it and that's a wonderful thing. Music inspires and sometimes heals us humans and also gets us to think in ways we may normally have never thought.

Then there is .45 . . .. then there's Symptom Of Being Human ... the range is very expansive.

[@rachel_hunter]

Shinedown does an excellent job of presenting deep and meaningful topics. Their music is inspirational to so many. The lead singer, Brent Smith, has struggled with addiction and has nearly transformed himself in recovery. It is the same person from Simple Man to Monsters, just with big life changes. His progression and story are an inspiration itself and then add to the music he and his band produce. They're a band that has helped many through struggles of depression and addiction amongst other "Monsters" we all struggle with.

I grew up with a dad that was bipolar. One that would make his kids sit in front of him while he threatened s*****e with a g** to his head. One where my mom would tell us to hide in our rooms until we knew what mood he was in after work. I was 17 when my mom told my sister and I that she only stayed because of us. We said then leave. She did. My step father was my hero. But I was grown then. My parents and step dad are gone now. I was the one taking care of my dad when he passed 3 years ago. He never admitted or apologized for anything he did. My young adult life wasn't much better. I was always trying to find love in the wrong people. So yeah, my monsters are real. But my God is greater.

Attention Attention is what album this song is on. It is a story album all the music videos tie together. The song Get Up is the follow up to monsters

Shinedown Atlas Falls is like one of my favorite songs in the whole world you should check it out

[@Lers_780]

Also they made a movie for this entire album. Pretty sure it’s available to watch for free now

[@sunnywilliams5255]

I really think you should go down this rabbit hole all of their songs are so deep. And symptom of being human will really get you in the feels

[@dixie3086]

More Shinedown please!! Get Up, Get Up should be next. Same actress, same story.

[@TimPenny-k4h]

I would recommend Symptom of Being human or Daylight by Shinedown those songs have gotten me through a lot of hell

[@nathandowd133]

Seen shinedown live 6 times!!! They are better live than studio I love shinedown

[@nickdangelo3266]

Shinedown is one those bands that have a bunch of cds and every single song is awesome, can’t go wrong with them bro

[@darcystcorner2580]

I honestly can’t think of one song that doesn’t have significant meaning. Brent is an amazing songwriter, vocalist and story teller. It started out as drug addiction then went to alcohol and then he got clean and became the man you see in this video. The birth of his son was the turning point for his sobriety I believe.

[@ronsuper100]

There is a prequel to Shinedown- 'Monsters!' It's a great song/video called 'Get Up'.

[@TimPenny-k4h]

I think have listened to this song 3 times today already because it’s part my regular Spotify rotation

[@michaeldinsen7641]

Music is the pinnacle of vibrational Therapy

Amazing ❤ SHINEDOWN

[@markperry222]

In a culture where people just want to punish people who do bad things, it is easy to forget that we have all done bad things. I know a social worker who has worked with people who have done really bad things, but want to change because of regret. And many of them do turn things around. Their monsters are real, but they learn to keep them in a box.

[@alanegan2447]

I discovered Stone Sour, Five Finger Death Punch, and Shinedown all around the same time.....all three speak to different parts of me but Shinedown is by far my favorite.

[@michellrea5770]

Shinedown is a band that there are no words for! They are deep, and talented beyond measure! CA symptom of being human" is a newer song and wow does it go deep!
