That's sad I absolutely love this song❤❤

[@ginarizzo1039]

Touché.. was a great song! Nostalgic! 🙏❤️

[@taxicamel]

"Song"??? This isn't even close. Never heard of him. Some article referred to this guy as a "90s music legend". Really? I very much doubt that. Cause of death has not been released, 0:30. Really? Anyone want to hazard a guess? Well, you would be right. "It’s now been confirmed it was an overdose, with the band’s manager, Howie Hubberman, revealing that drugs played a role in his death." No loss. He probably couldn't function without being on drugs. That's "talent"? NOPE! .

That song is the most sincere Shifty has ever gotten. Always loved the lyrics and the video was outstanding.

[@Alexandria87]

I fell in love with that song when it came out when I was 15. I used to be an alcoholic and I would play that song a lot because I could relate to it so much when I was in my addiction. I now have 3 1/2 years sober now 🥰🥰🥰

I don't think he EVER got or was sober unfortunately. Surprised he lived this long. He survived a coma and was given another chance. Sad when you see someone go from top, to rock rock bottom :( Addiction is no joke. All of the critics are the people whom never been addicted to anything.

[@fredpenner5667]

He had years where he was healthy, handsome, famous, and wealthy. What a sad spiral his life became because of drugs. Rest in peace to him.

[@emramirez7846]

Actually, he was sober in recent years...he may have relapsed.
