Seether - Rise Above This

[@BradyT918]

To those who don't know. Shaun Morgan wrote this song for his brother Eugene to help bring him from his depression. Eugene went with them on tour, and while in Rapid City South Dakota, Eugene jumped from their 10th story hotel. Shaun was one of the first people on scene when they pronounced him dead. The music video was made in memory of Eugene, you can see Shaun with tears in his eyes in several scenes.

Unfortunately, my best friend of 28 years couldn't rise above this. It's been a week already, and I'm basically writing this through so many god damned tears and rum. We both used to jam to Seether and many other bands. But this hits me hard, and with how fresh this is.. it fucking hurts. I'm not one for public displays of anything but, I felt like he needs to be remembered, even if you didn't know him. I miss him, every damn day.

You can see the tears streaming down Shaun's face as he's yelling the last lines of the song. I've lost ones close to me to suicide, but I can't imagine the pain of losing your brother just a few feet away from you. I know musicians put their heart into their lyrics, but I can't believe this man was able to record this, let alone get on stage and play this at concerts. He is legitimately saving lives and I hope he can see that

When my eldest sister passed away from alcohol and prescription drugs she took everything I had left in me. During her funeral RISE ABOVE THIS was a theme song I picked out during her services and it wasn't for anyone else at the time but for myself.

This song legitimately saved my life. I had been suicidal from the time I was 12. I listened to this song every day in high school and college and it got me through everything. When I saw them live for the first time our car broke down pulling into the venue parking lot. When we finally got to the venue this was what they were playing and I started sobbing, gripping my friends hand. I thought how fitting it was that the first song I heard live was the one that saved my life. Some people think it's cheesy to say a song or band saved their life but Shaun definitely saved my life with this one.

Some intend to disobey or never be changed and inherit. Others intend to try to prove something to God, in self-righteousness or acting like it's their fruit keeping them saved, but when we show up with a need for His righteousness and blood and trusting in Jesus as Savior without intent, we become changed and desire His direction genuinely, understanding that it is meant for our fulfillment.

[@patrickmartel7926]

I’m sorry

[@heidipye3488]

Never forgotten! They are always here when we need them. Sorry for your loss!

[@MrJakeks25]

Sorry for your loss. This video is a reminder of when you die it affects more then they will ever know

[@TheBanditZepop]

If there was ever a perfect video to go with a perfect song, this is, and will forever be it.

[@traviscamplin4104]

This song is keeping me alive rn ❤️ thank you for this beautiful song seether. I was sitting here thinking damnit I’m way late on hearing this masterpiece but a part of me says I heard it just in time. ☺️

[@jessschaefer8313]

It totally amazes me that someone can turn a personal tragedy into something beautiful and cathartic for others. I hope Shaun’s songs are as cathartic for him as they are for all of us . No matter what mood i am in, there’s a Seether song for it- for which I am very grateful!

[@angelasteege7974]

"call your name every day...i've fallen down...but i'll rise above this doubt.i 'll mend myself before it gets me." this song gives me hope and reminds me im not alone...i sing it loud and dance to it with all my heart!!

[@wbry1950]

Your comment spoke to me, no you're not alone! You're never alone! Rise above this doubt!

[@MrAlienautopsy]

Angela Steege 9 years ago I lost my fiance to pills. I almost did not survive it..survivors guilt was terrible. It still hurts everyday and it's been hard to move on. I'm still single. But I must do more than survive this..I have to rise above it. You are not alone in the struggle. Group hug

[@keithwoffwoff1532]

Angela Steege That's great. Keep looking up sweetheart.

[@kellyball4051]

Yo. I'm around...if you ever need someone to give a shit, I probably do...either way, I know I would care enough to be there if you need someone...don't hesitate if you can contact me (have no idea how to do that on here though). I know how it feels...

[@SleepywitchVibes]

You're not alone. "I'll amend myself before it gets me. I'll amend myself before it gets me!" Seether is true inspiration. Had depression when I was bullied first song was this

[@dravenbbs66]

You can see how emotionally distressed Shaun is in this video. I feel his pain even though I didn't lose my brother it just shows you how much empathy I have for others. God bless you and your family Shaun.

[@charlafisher9345]

I LOVE this song 🎵 ❤️ it has ALWAYS helped thru hard times....love the harmony in the music and lyrics

[@lstfgt4405]

Shaun's emotions are shows so clearly in this song. His brother committed suicide after this song was written. If i'm correct,he wrote this in hope of his brother getting over his situation. But sadly,later on he lost him. Shaun had to do 3 retakes while making the video because he kept crying where the emotion got him. I feel it so well and understand with my own experience of almost losing someone to a attempt. This song hits home.

[@FrenchingFry]

it was after his brother ended himself that he wrote this. His album was close to release, and so he quickly made this song and the video to add to the album as a memorial.

[@FrenchingFry]

A very emotional song indeed. every time i listen to it i can feel the sorrow and love put into this song. Definitely a song that shouldnt be forgotten.

[@jessab1982]

This song will always have special and painful place in my heart. It came on when I started my truck to go see my dad take his last breath... I played this song a 1000 times on repeat after I got home. I miss him everyday.

What a positive song from Seether

[@tamala1122]

I love this song - melody, rhythm, beat - it's got it all. And then there's the lyrics, such a strong message, especially now when our world is so whacked out and crazy. Life is hard - but we can rise above this. Thank you Seether for an awesome song that has true meaning.

[@Thegirlbehindhiseyes]

"I'll mend myself before it gets me..." I feel that every time. I will never let it get me.

[@24680WTF]

Great video! You can just see the raw emotion in Shaun's face!

[@kennethsmith450]

I've never publicly commented on any song/subject before in here. But, after reading the story behind this song, I must. This song has meant inspiration and hope for me in some dark times. I never fully understood that it was about suicide just listening to it. Terms like depression, anxiety, isolation and addiction didn't exist in my family growing up. Men were supposed to be men, you didn't talk about it, nor knew how to. I have definitely contemplated suicide a few times. Today, I'm a recovering addict and life is pretty damn good. I discovered that my desire to live outweighed the pain I endured. Not an easy road of discovery. If saying something in here helps just one person, than what I went through, still go through at times; was/is all worth it.

[@zerocool3394]

I too bro almost ended my life, you ain't alone man, im recovering too. I just said I don't wanna do this anymore. I let all my hurt go, my father passed away this year. He tried to reach out to me , but I was so upset how abusive he was to me and my mother growing up. I REFUSED to accept any apology. Later on my aunt called me to tell me he passed. I finally felt like I was released from him. Dealing with a bunch of other things. Having PTSD from being shot in the chest, which I never knew I struggled with for years. Until I saw a doctor. I realized that I needed to make some changes. No matter what we go thru its not our fault. It just takes good people to understand where we come from and pray for us to get better. My prayers are with you always man. God bless hope you live the best life God has in store for you. Your not alone.

[@kennethsmith450]

@@zerocool3394 man, thankyou for reaching out. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, how much it means. I too have PTSD which I found I've probably had for years. It actually was liberating to find out, it explained a lot. It was an answer, not the only one, but a major piece to the puzzle. Today I'm still clean and sober and actively go to trauma therapy. I still have some bad episodes, but I get through them, never desiring help from drugs or alcohol. This is our time now, our time to live, our time to thrive. I won't be denied what I deserve..... Happiness and the chance everyday to be a better person. Intrepidness and unparelled strength is on our side. Take care, try to help others when & where you can.....

[@dannybest5585]

If everyone was respectful and said, hey, ask, hold the door for someone, etc... You never know? it could possibly change their life, which could possibly change someone else's life. This song really is a reminder if you've ever been through it.

This song should have over 3 billion views. I listen to this song over 100+ times a day. I cry after I listen to it. And just so everybody knows I have three of each of their albums to last me a life. I had a 3% of living in my accident and I'm glad I lived for this song. Thanks Seether

Take the night and darken everything around me Call the clouds and listen closely, I'm lost without you Call your name everyday, when I feel so helpless I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this Hate your mind, regrets are better left unspoken For all we know this void will grow And everything's in vain, distressing you, don't leave me open Feels so right that I'll end this all before it gets me Call your name everyday, when I feel so helpless I'm fallen down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this Call your name everyday when I seem so helpless I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this rise, rise above this doubt I'll mend myself before it gets me I'll mend myself before it gets me I'll mend myself before it gets me I'll mend myself before it gets me Call your name everyday when I feel so helpless I'm fallen down but I'll rise above this, rise above this Forty eight ways to say that I'm feeling helpless Fallen down and I'll rise above this, rise above this Rise above this, rise above this doubt

They will never know how much I needed this

Thank you, Seether. For saving my life, for making this song, for giving me hope. This song gets me through the night. One day I will meet the three of you and it will be the best day of my life.

I can only imagine how hard it was for Shaun to play this video. the raw emotions that comes from this video is so pure and affecting. Seether is one of my favorites due how their music influence our emotions even they are deep buried.

[@CYGNIUS]

This is the most passionate and meaningful song I've practically ever heard. He wrote this about his brother committing suicide when they were younger. I'm depressed. It's hard for me to feel emotions. I just can't... but watching him cry at the beginning while looking at the camera and seeing how much he loved his brother makes me feel. Sorrow, but at least it's something. Amazing song!

[@joshvela8510]

This is one of my favorite songs from seether because it really connects with me because I've felt this low to where I thought it be better to just end me. But hearing this I know there are people out there who love me & there's a better way. If you read this & feel down know that I love you & there's always a way to say you feel helpless but we can rise above it.

Yeah this song is a great reminder that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Also that others will be very hurt if you do commit suicide.

[@virpiovanmeteran1599]

I love not only this song but this music video because of its self awareness and showing that if " Don't rise above how you feel." It affects your whole family and those who are around you. It shows that people still care about you even if they don't show or say it and that you will be missed by someone out there because you touched the hearts and lives of more people then you even know. So just please remember you are loved and to not give up.
