Seether - The Gift - South Africa November 2013

[@kenneyking8019]

Heard this song for the first time ,while boarding a plane to go to rehab. I was meant to hear it

[@mr.farmall5003]

Shaun poured his soul into that performance.

[@l.s8404]

U can hear it come out at 1:14 , one of the if not the best voice ever imo

[@loganbremerman1248]

This was for his brother who killed himself. One of the best artist of our generation

[@danielsnyder2966]

ONE of best songwriters in rock! Great voice, SHAUN is a really talented man!!

this man lost his brother to suicide.u can feel his agony in his voice ..

I love this performance more than anything.

[@SmokeWasTaken43]

This was my best friends favorite song, everytime I hear it I have to turn it off because I simply get too emotional. Today would've been his 19th birthday, I'm listening to it all. Happy birthday bud. I love you, and miss you so much everyday

Wow. Idk if your friend gave up on life or had it taken from him... but to the ones who are thinking about giving up so young... Dont under estimate youreself. ANYONE whose dedicated can make a change in the world after findng your Tallent in 10 years Like like Shaun did here. Never give up on yourself or more importantly the children / grandchildren you will have to guide in your future.

[@Keyc94]

Shaun is normal a guy that can give a lot of power and passion live, but in this version he is also very emotional. You can feel that he needed the song that day as anyone else out there.

[@zolika154]

Yeah... a beautiful song wraped in pain.

What a good show it was. Awesome that you got to meet the guys.

[@andileduku6707]

The only South African band that is a truly rock band.unlike these pop band claiming to be alternative rock bands. Your words have touched me mate.

[@diplomaticimmunityadventur4453]

Best band in the world. Makes me proud to be south african

[@mikeperkov9176]

no words can quite explain just how much this song was torn straight from the depths of my soul, i really thought no one else knew pain like i do , till i heard this song , his vocals , the combination , don't know if anyone else experiences this but afterwards , i feel relief , strange , but holy shit

[@Kimi_Khaos]

I completely get you, music brings me through every emotion, but always leaves me better in the end.. couldn't live without it! And yeah, every single word of this song... it feels as if it was written for me, or by me, and the way Shaun sings it, the emotion he puts into it, you can feel that he's singing from his own personal experiences. This is arguably my favorite video of this song as well. Not sure if it's because he's in SA or singing in front of his family, but it just sounds so much better than most other live performances on videos that I've seen, even with the audience's singing. lol I'm super grateful this guy uploaded it though. I've watched it heaps over the years, but never commented till I saw yours and kinda felt compelled to.

[@kennedy6971]

We all feel it bro.. Playing those heart strings like a fiddle.. If theres a more real and relatable song about regret and loss i havnt heard it yet. Makes the hair stand up on my arms.. No shit! Damn good doesnt give it justice.. Genius is all i can say

[@leevitalone]

His music is so powerful for anyone that has experienced loss, he writes so much from the pain, always wonder how he does not lose it. I would, miss you brother!

[@jamouthhhpettouthh3356]

This song was my old band mates favorite song for the longest time, would always bang on about it, we loved it also. Fast forward a few years, he's gone to University and I hadn't heard from him in a while, only to have harrowing news that he was found hanging in his dorm room last year. When I hear this song now all I can do is lookup and smile while crying simultaneously at how sad I am to have lost my friend and wished I could've been there for him in his time of need, but can't help but feel he's playing this up somewhere in the clouds watching over us to make sure we do nothing silly. We miss you Max, we loved you so much, I'll never forget you and will forever play this song in your memory. Rest in peace Max - 2000-2021 Alex 2004-2021 Love you both, fly high

[@greywillowgaming2366]

5 months late, but my condolences to you. It's never easy losing a friend or family to anything, especially suicide. I briefly considered it myself, but its bands like Seether, Linkin Park, Stained and A7x along with good friends and family that helped me get through some tough times. You could say music saved my life in a way. Wishing nothing but the best for you and your loved ones.

[@jamouthhhpettouthh3356]

Thank you mate, appreciate it brutha, music definitely saved mine also, think I’d be mad without it no doubt, but yh we live and we move ♥️ Much love and blessings to you

[@manofbeard]

One of my favourite songs from Seether ❤

[@kennethsmith450]

I never knew so many people felt this way. The same as I do. It's uplifting. Thankyou Seether for your music. Although I am a strong person, I do hurt inside about a lot. Your music has helped me relate, feel, come to terms. Thankyou.

[@scottrheinberger5429]

[@kennedy6971]

I think if your a male who grew up in america you can relate with his music.. Sure its melancholy, but its straight up raw and real.. That man is more then metal - hard edged rock musician.. The way the music transitions with the lyrics.. Genuis is all i can say.. I could see him colaborating with different types of music. He lives in nashville.. No shortage of people he could do a song with.. For some reason i could see him doing a ballad with taylor swift. . No, not really☺ maybe miley Cyrus though

[@nullifiednothing8959]

@Carter Furtaw 5:39 Easy enough to do when not looking!

[@BEEZYS-WORLD]

Agree as a lead guitarist its the purity of it not doing take after take makes it pure snd from thr soul love it

[@ashleycasto40]

100% agree. As a musician myself it’s not the cord missed or the difference in key as artists play their hearts out for others. No matter the artist, the song, arrangement, or whether it’s a song of their catalog or a cover. It’s the ability of the artist to be able to on the fly snap of a finger switch things up or to keep the song solid despite a mistake or even a broken cord. Shows he talent actually to arrange it for a solo acoustic for a specific event.. Implore all to watch the video of Mitch and Rich Robinson from the black crowes doing thorn in my pride acoustic. It’s labeled as brothers of a feather concert thorn in my pride. Watch him snap a cord continue for three mins till a place to pause that arrangement for a three second guitar swap only to continue the last three or so mins of the jam!

[@KJHuston]

I keep coming back to this video. I always liked this song ever since it came out, but watching this particular performance makes me hear and feel the song differently.

[@dylloncross]

I’m glad you enjoy the video. It was a great performance.

I just watched a scene from Footloose with Chris Penn when he was younger and fit. All people could say is negative things about how he got fat and died, but what they fall to realize is, we all harbor and deal with our pain in different ways. This song is an excellent representation of the same type of pain coming through in music and poetry, I am so grateful for this song, it helps and I know I'm not alone.

[@fatc82]

[@ThiagoPereira-zn7ks]

Beautiful song !!

[@Molue_]

I can't claim to know what the song's meaning is in terms of what was intended by those who wrote it, all I can give is my own interpretation; but I feel strong vibes pointing towards heavy depression (For the record, I'm talking about clinical depression and not simply the feeling of loss or mourning, or just being in a bad spot in life that causes someone to feel down). Feeling little self-worth, the feeling of not belonging, feeling undeserving of what one has, feeling like a failure, feeling like you're being disingenuous to the world (possibly by hiding all the inner turmoil threatening to boil over and acting like everything is okay), being unable to face yourself and come to terms with who you are; your mortality; the reason for your existence in a chaotic; ever-changing world, and recognizing you have a problem, but are seemingly unable to fix it, either because you don't know how to or that you don't have the wherewithal to continue struggling against it anymore.
