[@ryangeoghagan3076]

Truly the anthem of a generation.

[@iNarbage]

this band should've gotten bigger

[@ACiDRAiNiN]

I agree. They just might be the most underrated band in America. Their new album "Chemicals" kicks ass from start to finish.

[@yurgenization]

ill check it out

[@heafy]

Aaron Meacham they didn't play ball with the record company - they leaked their own album

[@nitkonikada9892]

ys but people are smaller so they cant see things clearly

[@emanueljohnson6476]

I strongly disagree. They are average at best.

[@xXMusicSpeaksXx]

I love this. I love that Smile Empty Soul doesn't shy away from the darker side of things like abuse, or pressure, or even molestation. There are sick, twisted things out there and i love the SES has the guts to show it to the world without the sugar-coating.

[@bethbelmonte7550]

They rocked 15 years ago & still do today 🤘

[@Bucsfan124ever1]

Rocked out to this 15 years ago and nothings changed..still my top song to listen to

[@RicanDevil1988]

Saw them live last month still sick

[@alicanfly333]

😮❤🎉 omg where?! Im so excited now, i thought they quit yearsss ago ​@@RicanDevil1988

[@cliffcorbitt9494]

Why people have a commented about this song is just beyond me even when politics weren't a thing this is my music was real and there was no bull crap and a lot of music back then like this predicted the future

[@devildogwhite]

oh god...now that I'm not a 9 year old kid watching this, the scene with the old man and the frightened child finally makes sense. Oh my sweet blissful ignorance, how I miss you.

[@robertrichardson6481]

back in high school I hung out with the 'punk rockers'. One day I picked up one of their cd's to listen to a random song. Still like this song like 10 years later.

[@guycanivet]

yeah this music was so early 2000 and mid , I grew up in this punk rock environment high school, cool fucking kids they where, not hiding shit nothing showing it to the world and no shits where given, not fucking fake wanna bee's now on days that don't know who they are

[@gloomiy]

@@guycanivet yeah dude fuck hiding it

[@amsunshine5052]

How about 17 years later?!

[@michaeldyer4623]

This song hits home even harder today!

[@Asongwrittenforyou]

With every song I hear to this band my heart breaks even more, why are they under-rated they deserve more fame!

[@CrowsDescend]

Truth is, because the music industry doesn't like critical-thinkers and those who speak the truth, unfortunately.

[@Persephoneia01]

+Crows Descend Except for the fact that they were incredibly popular back in the early/mid 2000s. All of their videos from this album played on MTV quite frequently & anyone into this sort of music knew about them. They just lost popularity because by the time their second album came out their style wasn't what was popular anymore.

[@capricacity]

+AwfulWaffleWalker very true. I always say that if they came out in the 90s they would have completely blown up. Do you think this style of music will ever come back again? It seems like Hip Hop has completely taken over I have nothing against it but i truly miss this style of music.

[@Persephoneia01]

+caprica city No 90s was grunge and bubblegum pop. They wouldn't have been nearly as popular then. They were in the correct time frame music wise, but rock is always a bit less popular than other genres. Hip Hop today is a lot less popular than it was in mid 2000s. I'd also say drum and bass and edm is what's most popular now or at least those elements are mixed in even with pop music. As for if it'll ever be popular again, no it won't. Music is always evolving and moving towards the newest sounds.

[@maze9323]

+Asong writtenforyou I know this is a year old, but I am sitting hear listening to them now wondering the same exact thing! Every song is powerful with so many deep meanings in every song. I just don't see why some bands that suck get popular, and other bands that are awesome don't!

[@ladyfibonaccii]

How sad.... just about every single one of us can relate to this song...I love this band. It's 2023 now, and this song is extremely relevant for modern day society. 😢

[@camthelivinandlovin2682]

This song speaks to me about the 2000 kids, who joined the infantry and fought a war " we are the poeple that you hate, we are the bastards that you created" ... Fuck yeah! I love this band they rock. I listened to them before every patrol!

[@thomasreno4613]

cameron misrasi I fought in that war.

[@sweetpandora85]

Love this band. Love their sound and love the fact that they write about things that actually matter in the world. They're underrated, no doubt, but I'm happy they're not a hugely popular band. That tends to spoil most bands, and I don't want these guys to change!

[@CharlieBladeRemus]

This is what's wrong with our kids today...Behind every bad kid is the parents who made them that way... This song PWNS

[@alicanfly333]

Smile empty soul were my 1st concert ever, at bluecats in the old city of knoxville. I was from ohio, they were from michigan. So stellar i actually saw them 7 times total. These songs still hit so damn hard, total nostalgia❤

[@erickaworleymurray6902]

This band is my whole childhood. They r so underrated. I miss this

[@StringBender567]

Just saw these guys last night! They played one hell of a show, and Sean is actually a really nice guy!

[@superkittygirlly]

I know the lead singer personally, its Shawn* I know his whole family

[@focotown99]

That's fkin living there. When do they come to Denver.

[@ethangill4980]

lucky bastard

[@joannecrawford2823]

William Pierce I saw them last night and got the chance to talk to Shawn and he’s the most down to earth guy. So cool

[@lcgh08]

If it is Shawn, then why does he spell it Sean?

[@geothomas8588]

I'll be 38 this month. I felt like this was my life aloud having been adopted and all. This song shaped how raise my family to this day. " And what did you expect." I miss Smile Empty Soul. Signed 2018

[@balconyclubLA]

Im adopted to, I feel the same. Saw this song at age 13, it hit home

[@whiterose-kb9lk]

Same exact story with me.

[@neemaf829]

Love your kids Parents... Just love them unconditionally and they will be allright.

[@elivile.]

It's not that easy, sadly.

[@levisguy53]

no wonder why Smile Empty Soul was often overlooked, even their former label couldn't even get the name of the album right in the introductory blurb from which this awesome song hails. for those not in the know, this song is originally from their 2003 eponymous debut!

[@ChattGM]

0:00 That's all you need to know that this song KICKS ASS!!! It is so good. That intro instrumental. Main reason it made me a fan. And then the chorus. Well simply put... ITS GREAT!!!

[@conithomson4409]

Great band. Proving nothing is the same as it appears to be. Father beats the hell out of older son, Family pervert priest molests younger son and the daughter they just kick out for probably turning 18 and not established yet. Been going on for a long time and these guys are putting it out there. The reason they’re underrated is for telling it the way it really is. It’s been awhile since I was a kid, but I totally love this band and others like Seether, Crossfade, and Silverchair. Most of my peers just love country or boring slow pop. No thanks✌️

[@HeyItsCoates]

This song changed how I perceive people's family photos.

[@elivile.]

Me too.

[@AustinSaysWurdd]

Cause is any family actually perfect?

[@nessserax8826]

Brings me back to 2003🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@toddfrank4863]

This band is so fucking underrated.

[@PanicThrottle]

Agreed man. It's sad how underrated these dudes are!!!!

[@Budd16944]

That song is so kick ass and heartfelt! Delivers that bone chilling shock and goosebumps. Been on repeat since yesterday

[@musicismyfavorite777]

This isn't exactly my style of music, but I always find myself coming back to them, their lyrics always stand up for all the kids that had dysfunctional families, or just shitty childhoods in general. It really hits me, and they always bring up a lot of good points. People see anarchists and wonder "where did their parents go wrong?" but in reality, 99% of the time, it's because their parents were abusive, or not there at all. They capture the horrible process of growing up so perfectly.

[@thedarkknight2424]

You ever have that feeling when your listening to a new band that genuinely has an awesome vibe to them And then you find out that tragic truth that they never got far and don’t exist anymore These guys unfortunately fall into that category this song is sick

[@AlexJonesWasRight]

Sean still tours and puts on a good show and they play this song at most shows

[@robynskywalker]

This song, this video, just really hurts. I never really went through that but this song reminds me that just because a kid isn't horribly beaten, starved, and raped by their parents does not mean they aren't abused and hurt....

[@roofa7035]

This song is sooooo damn trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee raised by tv sets\ as long as we smile

[@Bwa3]

This band was so underrated

[@elivile.]

Is still underrated, you mean.

[@H3AdpH0N3z]

This song means a lot too me, im 16 and my father makes me feel like shit all the time, calling me names. im not a bad kid, I do good in school, and Im home in time for dinner and whenever my curfew is He just pulls at me where he knows it hurts. I like Smile Empty soul a lot and metal a lot too cause it tells the truth without bothering to glamorize it. the genre is so blunt, and i like it! But this song in specific tells about the front families put up to make themselves look good to society

[@wilsonchaucacordova1011]

the best song of Smile empty soul

[@RetroCheater81]

I remember watching this on MTV when it came out. It would be this and One Armed Scissor played at least twice an hour each. Everytime this one came on it made me think how lucky I was that my parents werent as bad as other kids. Trust me I was punished pretty hard, but it could have been so much worse and I feel sorry for anyone who had to go through anything like this.

[@amsunshine5052]

Omg I remember listening to this over and over on my mp3 player when I was 13 or 14. Shout out to limewire for the music and crashed computers.

[@luckyzshero4025]

Amen

[@natashamesidor9030]

Since a teenager I liked this song.. The beat to the words and the images my God.. To heartfelt. Thought I'll share this.

[@keithcampbell8985]

An unofficial anthem for us millennials

[@tylerorcutt8489]

I don't know why but I love this song can relate in so many ways...rock on

[@lindseyj5633]

Also this album IS a perfect album. Every song is gold.

[@animusora]

Na dude. Blackwater Park is the only real perfect album.

[@Noxx_Jones]

[@lovedociscallin6745]

To everyone out there in ANY kind of situation like this your not alone. I know what its like it sucks and it ruins your life. This happens to so many pple and not many make it out of it. My moms BF beat me for two years and she finally dumped him. They are together again, but i refuse to go near him because im scared he will have at me again. Ever since my sisters arrived, i was nothing. I was beaten for being there. BUt to be honest, it makes a stronger person.

[@jeffking2100]

gotta give mad props for the song the video and the message. all three are really good and probably more true than a lot of people think.

[@lutherthompson2250]

We are still here

[@Reddevil66753]

First heard this song in 7th grade my dad was on drugs and we lived in a small two bed room apt in a sketchy apt complex (not the worst but not the best either) with my dads gf and my two older brothers. It sucked on the inside but on the outside my brothers and I had each had friends that lived in neighborhoods near by and because when my dad would get high he didn’t care where we were or how long we were gone so delt with shit that came with a father on drugs but at the same time got to be free as well.

[@hypebeast1233]

Smile Empty Soul is a LEGENDARY band in my opinion

[@priscillaszurley6629]

[@owelofminerva]

this song a video are masterpieces.

[@NAPT0WNNUISANCE]

I think some of these "kids" on here have the wrong idea about what this song really means. It is about rising up out of an abusive home and a home where too much is expected of you, a home where they wont let you live a little. It is not about rebelling against the parents who gave you everything and spoiled you.

[@mackinn8460]

Still underrated :( Just too real for radio play

[@desireep01]

[@alanlloyd450]

Rap and country used to be scoffed at by the majority and now it's what's most popular. Rock needs a swift kick in the ass

[@capricacity]

+Alan Lloyd exactly. its alllll about country and hip hop now....what happened to Rock Music?!! Alternative..grunge..punk...When did it all die??!!

[@guitarkings9883]

+Alan Lloyd +caprica city Yeah, it's crazy to see how much it declined. I think it evolved into pop rock and pop punk like Imagine Dragons and 5 Seconds of Summer. You still got bands like 5 Finger Death Fist. But I personally don''t like them. You also got really experimental, progressive and mainstream stuff like The Algorithm, Polyphia, Circa Survive. I still see allot of hardcore bands coming out though and making it like Rise of The North Star.

[@SkankHunt-ox8ot]

rock will never die

[@cobraglatiator]

+Guitar Kings 5 finger death fist?....errrr....was that..intentional...or did you fuck up?....'cause unless we're talking about different bands,it's five finger death punch,i mean,it's just that that's th name of a band,and,you have the incorrect word. so,idk,figured i'd put that out there.

[@natewalsh3650]

Well who cares what genre what happened to music actually meaning something and not just to get money like this band is a perfect example they are not well known about because they actually have meaning behind their songs they don't care about the money just getting THEIR meaning out not what their sponsors tell them to ding about like bands now a days it's just a shame that music has gone so far downhill

this song is so true.

[@fist626]

I love this song, it compares so well to so many people's lives, and it's so true. One thing I wanna say, though, is that I think it would have been more dramatic if they didn't use stills, especially when the parents were locking that girl in the room. I think it would be a lot more moving if she were actually kicking and screaming and crying to get out.

[@leemiller6977]

I saw them at a small show of about 150 or so people back in 2010. After the show I asked Ryan as I was buying a t-shirt that had pot leaves all over it if they liked to smoke and he said " Yeah....." So I got the guys stoned on some good homegrown from here in Michigan. I actually drove back home (30 minute drive one way) grabbed a joint from my mom and then drove back to the bar just so I could give it to their manager right before they left town. The manager's response was epic, " I fucking LOVE Michigan!!!!! "

[@W00dland_90]

You are lucky you are realizing this early on. I was too scared myself/lacked any clue, and I'm still very clueless at age 22. I have my own place but it's a struggle to hold onto, there aren't many jobs available at the moment here in the states.
