They have never made a bad song. And I honestly don’t know if I can say that about any other group. Especially considering how every song hits you the way their songs do. Right in the soul. Truly one of the greatest groups of our time and honestly all time. Amazing

[@hela_jace]

As someone who tends to compare myself to my amazing peers on those self-deprecating days, this song always reminds that it's okay to not be as special as them, and being my ordinary self is perfectly okay.

[@bottomofastairwell]

no one is truly extraordinary. they're just better at SOME things, like making themselves look good, putting on a good show for social media, maybe they got lucky, were born into better circumstances, whatever. but ultimately, we all have our own unique contributions to give to the world, and that makes us ALL special.

[@nitsapeacelove3842]

Your ordinary self IS special☺️

[@EarthNeedsHeroes]

You don't have to settle for being "ordinary" but trying to compare yourself with other people is like trying to ice skate uphill. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Be great!

[@southerncross5360]

One of the most powerful songs from the Attention Attention album, we're all the same at the end of the day, but it's easier to point out the highs and lows in someone else's life than to look at our own. In the Get Up video we first see a character who's reached rock bottom, we watch her fighting to get up and live again with compassion. special is a different, it's easy to pass judgement on others than it is to take stock of our lives and make them better. Be kind to yourself and others, we are here for a short time, don't waste it on meaningless nonsense.

[@JbHb-l2s]

Right

[@donna7040]

Totally agree we’re all the same 😢

[@hendrikperkins8741]

These Guys Never disappoint, excellent song.

[@Razzy-sr4oq]

Social media ruined us. Love ya, Shinedown.

[@markorollo.]

Ironically it's social media that lets us discover songs like this more easily. Hearing it on your radio or on TV requires right time right place, social media means you can hear it anytime.

[@jonferrin5694]

This song and video perfectly encapsulates everything I hate about modern society. We've traded personal relationships and other people for money, fame, things. I wish everyone would put their phones down for a designated part of the day and just go talk to stangers... We're all the same, we need to remember that.

[@marcle1975]

Shinedown once again gives me goosebumps!!

[@garthland]

enjoy every fleeting moment for what it is! life has a way of passing us by and all too suddenly is over

[@faithcrosby2317]

This is why you guys are my favorite band. I spent 5 hours drawing a flower to get off my damn phone, there's nothing more special then living in the moment, seeing the world through your own eyes not a camera, that's the life we need to live!

[@marybaker8061]

❤❤ beautiful!

[@charlesgarber5766]

Amen my friend!!

[@deecunningham100]

This song and video literally had me bawling like a baby…..so much truth. No one is more special than another we were all created to be unique, beautiful and amazing in our own ways. I have always been compared to others my entire life and expectations have always been set higher for me. For many years I was lost trying to be whatever everyone wanted me to be and to please others. Social media has only hindered relationships it denies us the ability to truly see what’s all around us and really sincerely getting to know a person for who they really are. Social media has caused us to become blind to everything that generally matters love, hope consideration, compassion and humility.

[@MegaJSK123]

Its funny when I first started listening to this I was thinking its not as intense as their previous songs... But quickly realized what's intense about this song are those fire lyrics. So good! 🔥

They are the greatest band of our time. Literally. I'm 42 and Ive loved a lot of great music in my time but they don't disappoint ever. Thank you Shinedown for your music in my life.

[@Zoocomics]

Most people would call your statement crazy... and yet I would challenge almost anyone to sit down and listen to all 7 of their studios albums and debate the topic. Brent Smith is not only a stud song writer but top (3) vocalist of his generation. Variety? Many mainstream bands don't have the balls to mix it up and try something different, it's financial suicide and yet every album is a little different and I can almost listen to every damn song on the album...Planet Zero, my least favorite due to their creative approach and yet some of it still hit for me. The problem with these guys is that they showed up at the beginning of the end for Rock. My 1 local rock station barely plays anything past 2010... The only thing that tells me that rock isn't dead is that these guys are still churning out albums.

[@Hopeful_Gal]

Its so true that the type of people that are saying they are your fans come to your concert and film the show without any clue as to what they are witnessing and only after its over they discover what they missed and never realize the phone and social media a problem. Not every 1 will be a star 1 day not even the lil 15 minutes of fame every ones feels entitled to..... sad, wish we could go back to the 90s🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘grunge4ever

[@johnlombardo7816]

well said! quick story because, well i have to! haha .. i went to their concert here in NY.. took about 15 sec of footage from a few of my favorite songs (which coincidentally havent even gone back to watch, and it was 8 months ago) but otherwise was so engulfed in the awesomeness in a sea full of people that when they finished the last song, I looked around, I apparently caused a 15 foot radius around me of emptiness due to my loud singing ! hahah .. I literally didnt even know it .. prior the place was packed and we were sitting between what I can consider about 80 people that were close.. Anyway, best band, best concert ever!

[@angelsky121]

What a beautiful song!.. you have to cherish everything you have in life because one day you might not have it. Everyone is so wrapped up in their phone that they forget what's right in front of them in the present. The moment is what counts. If you miss it, you might not get the second chance to see it or live it again.

Hurry up before you go and get old Hurry up before your blood runs cold None of us were ever meant to stay We're all gonna find out one day You see, life's too short to run it like a race So it's never gonna matter if you win first place 'Cause we're all the same Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame 'Cause you're not special I'm not trying to rain on your parade But you're not special I'm not trying to bring you down I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual But you're not special Hurry up before the bottle kicks in Before the poison and the pain sets in If you take it down a notch and you let me explain That on this earth we are all the same And all I can say is Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame 'Cause you're not special I'm not trying to rain on your parade But you're not special I'm not trying to bring you down I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual 'Cause you're not special We all live to lie We all fall apart We'd all go to war For the faint of heart Instead we're condescending There are no happy endings I won't hold my breath I won't cast a doubt I'd never sell you out But I'll give you one last chance to own it 'Cause you're not a god or a poet so Stop waiting on your fifteen minutes of fame 'Cause you're not special I'm not trying to rain on your parade But you're not special I'm not trying to bring you down I'm not trying to sound so ineffectual But you're not special But you're not special (get a move on) (Get up, get up, get a move on) (Just know that) But you're not special (just know that) 'Cause you're not special 'Cause you're not special
