[@Em22-wtf]

@@772ninja9 Unfortunately my sons father is heading that way right now, and it sucks, its sad, and there is not a thing I can do about it. He wants to be out of his mind, more than he wants to live life and I have to protect my son from it at all costs. Whats worse is, I know what its like to an extent, but I made the decision 12 yrs ago I was done with the BS, and I still am so I KNOW he can be too, he chooses NOT to be. And, today, we had plans, he was clean when he got here, went to the bathroom, and made the choice to ruin the whole day by doing what HE wanted to do. After 17 yrs, I threw in the towel. I put my entire life on hold every time he decides he wants to check out instead of dealing with life. Ya, dont we fucking all sometimes, but the consequences are not worth it. He takes the chance to ruin our sons life everytime he doesnt want to stay on the straight & narrow, bc if he ODs and doesnt make it back, our son will be devastated & all I can do is warn him as he gets older if that day does come, god forbid. It sucks. And its even sadder when you hope that if they won't get their shit together, hopefully they'll get arrested bc at least you know they are alive for that time they are locked up. Its no way to live, or raise a child. And, I can't put my life on hold again. Dont know why I am typing this here, something you said make me feel like typing it out, lol! Plus, he just relapsed about 2 hrs ago, and instead of being off for the day having fun, eating good food, etc....Im sitting here watching YT....pissed off, and painting. At least my son is having fun with my nephews at a water park my parents surprised them with! ANyway, just venting. Love Sublime, ironically enough, it was this same guy that introduced me to the awesomeness of Sublime =/

Life isn't supposed to be light at all times and I think that's the point. The poet finds beauty even in the darker places and transform them into light, music and magic. After all, what was the point to laugh if it wasn't for the tears?

When you realize this song is about his struggle with heroin. RIP. When you were young you didn't realize how deep this song was.

To those who are still struggling to overcome their opiate illness, there is a brighter side take it from a guy whose been shot five times, stabbed twice and have a terminal illness. Was on and off opiate for majority of my teens and twenties. Currently thirty, sober for year and six months.

I got a love hate relationship with sublime. First of all, they are my favorite band. Ever since I first heard them on the radio back in '97 thats been the case. But it is the only band that I have ever bought an album for that I couldn't go see in concert. And it makes me mad that Brad overdosed because they would have had a tremendous career and most of the fans were never able to see them live. Thank god for KZbin and all the wonderful people who have uploaded live performances with Brad, it means a lot to other true sublime fans.

Take me back Lord! Back to 90’s. No crybabies. No social media. Being outside. Blunts, 40’s and bitches. Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, when I was dead broke I couldn’t picture this. Video game rentals, sleepovers with the homies in the backyard in tents without having to say “pause” extension cords to hook up ps1 Rival Schools, Tekken and Power Stone on Dreamcast in the tents. Costco pizza, one side cheese, one side pepperoni. Walkman’s and CD players so we all knew the same songs and didn’t have to sort thru billions of artists that sound the same. Back when weed was illegal and kept you high all day off one spliff in the morning. Back when we all listened to Rap, Rock and Metal. When Simpson’s was actually good. Wasting quarters on big kids who beat you at Mortal Kombant 1 in the arcades. Back Lord. Back…

What kind of music did Sublime make? Reggae? Ska? Punk rock? Alternative? No. While they may have incorporated these styles into their music, the truth is, the heart of Sublime's music is the blues. They were a blues band with a ska/punk/reggae/surf veneer. The passion, the SOUL of the music is so powerful. Just as they were about to break it big, an incredibly talented and soulful artist lost his life. Rest in peace, Bradley. Your music made the world a better place.

Could not agree more. And nothing left unsaid

[@penelopetrevino-ub9rr]

Well said!!!! ❤

Ska, with a side of blues.

You didn't get old Brad but, the music will live on.

[@keokihiga8462]

That guitar at 2:22 is so smooth like butter melting in your ear

[@sensimillion.reggae]

struggling with my crack problems a lot . and this song is saving me . thank you bradley

[@LitCentralMillennialXLIII]

"Ain't got no quarrels with God, Ain't got no time to get old, Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off of this reef" what a cry for help...

[@juzagirlntheroom2692]

It really is. To me so relatable. Been struggling with that boy since 1982. It's exactly how it feels.

[@ricardosalek7435]

Bradley had a very sophisticated understanding about music and how to express yourself with music.

[@OhighOSkater]

Man, I wish Brad was still around. He made such great music. Rest In Peace. I actually have a Sublime skateboard dedicated to Brad and it will be a wall hanger for life

[@renan7914]

Reggae is my foundation, but Sublime has something that i don't know how to explain. I chill everytime. This song is fire!

[@Cherry-pu4mx]

They have some reggae songs. Sublime was definitely inspired by reggae

[@andreacrooks6313]

Love Sublime!!!! Never ever will get old. Reminds me of summer and being on the boat. I just love Sublime and will continue to listen to it cause it makes me happy. 🥰

[@Youareme42o]

So great so soothing so honest so so very timeless and ahead of its time thank you and have a great day brothers and sisters.

[@komickaze85]

Bradley Nowell wrote this song before he ever tried heroin. So, all the people saying it's about heroin are wrong. It is about drugs, but not heroin. Marijuana is probably the biggest influence of this song. "Grab the reef underneath my bed." This song was first on the 1991 Jah Won't Pay the Bills demo tape, so it was way before Bradley ever tried heroin. He really didn't get into it until around 1992-1993. And a Badfish? It's just someone who does things that are considered immoral or wrong by society's standards, like drugs and booze to an extreme.

[@brianpurdy9801]

Amen to that!

[@deepcreep98]

However, I'm sure this song took on new meaning for Bradley once he became involved w/heroin.

[@komickaze85]

deepcreep98 Of course it did. ;)

[@dustinblalock9332]

Your right bro

[@jasonhiggs8580]

Untouchables

[@brucefruechte3270]

One of my favorite songs and one of the best albums of my life time. I wish you hadn't been a badfish.

[@GnawedChan]

R.I.P Bradley Nowell :-(

[@mplslawnguy3389]

People are forgetting this stuff. 90s was a great decade musically. Most people have grown out of it and the younger kids weren’t even alive. Don’t know if we will ever have music like this again.

[@matthewreimers2732]

I’m 15 and this is the best song to exist and it’s even better when I’m baked as fuck

[@devilsoffspring5519]

Nobody ever replies when I say this, but if you want music like this again, YOU HAVE TO WRITE IT, KIDS. You don't just "have" music because it's a certain decade! People WRITE it!

[@devilsoffspring5519]

@@matthewreimers2732 If you're 15 then you're well on your way to discovering some great stuff! Just don't be one of those 15 (or whatever) year olds that says things like "I wish we still made music like this." You have to write it.

[@pamallinder3287]

Brad was from California, i was so happy to get a sublime t-shirt in texas. I went back to seattle and my t-shirt was stolen. We all loved Bradley forever and a day❤

[@oddtoddler7714]

I will not get over that guitar solo👍🏼

[@dylanbrown3840]

This is one of those songs that reminds me everything is ok in the world. It reminds me of better times yet to come. Simultaneously tears are running into my smile.

[@Jamesseekstruth]

Yeah . That and it's litteraly a song about hunting for heroin and vomiting when you can't find any lol

[@dylanbrown3840]

@casper_skitzo420 Your definitely correct. For me it's more of a time and place song.

[@Limberxingo]

[Verse 1] When you grab a hold of me Tell me that I'll never be set free But I'm a parasite Creep and crawl, I step into the night [Pre-Chorus] Two pints of booze Tell me, are you a badfish, too? (Are you a badfish, too?) [Chorus] But, I Ain't got no money to spend I hope the night will never end Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef? [Verse 2] Baby, you're a big blue whale Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails I swim, but I wish I never learned The water's too polluted with germs [Pre-Chorus] I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead Grab the reef underneath my bed (Underneath my bed) [Chorus] But, I Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't got no time to grow old Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef? [Solo] [Chorus] Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't got no time to get old Lord knows I'm weak Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

[@sail253]

my God "reef" is code for heroin, I wish somebody got him off it, wow

[@PJo09]

Thanks Man!

[@MustHunterBloons]

those lines always hit me in the same way every time. Each song i would constantly jam to always got old and i would slowly get kinda sick off listening to it over and over again. This one is just better and better every single time.

[@city2024newsanahid]

Red red wine, stay close to me.

[@Eject_Typhoon]

It’s supposed to say tweak instead of reef

[@daryl7277]

The best band of all-time. Prove me otherwise! Their music combines rock, heavy metal, rap, punk, alternative, Ska, even horns too. No other band that I'm aware combines this many genres of music. They are the most underated band period. They deserve so many more accolades

[@psychosaucepan4841]

Man. His vocals. His lyrics. They make me so happy. I have such an understanding for them. It almost makes me feel like I knew him. I wish I knew him.

[@Cactus__Head]

My dad passed two days ago and he wasn’t the greatest dad, we’d meet up, get drunk and sing Sublime and prince. I miss him so much and have been listening to Sublime non stop. Dad, I miss you so fucking much.

[@angiewitt3324]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@Cactus__Head]

@@angiewitt3324 thank you. I honestly really appreciate it.❤️

[@Aryisk]

Just so you know, your dad is the greatest to you, sometimes its very difficult for a person to become a real parent, in their heart they try and try to just keep failing and failing, its gets hard to bounce back. But dont just chalk it up as "he wasnt the greatest dad" lots of variables there. You must of meant something to him to stop by a kick it, doesnt sound like much but maybe it was the hardest for him, im sure he wanted to be with you ever chance he could but was disappointed in himself. Its weird how people do things in life sometimes. Im sure he was a good man that loved you. life is never black and white so always read between the lines to find what ur looking. God bless Cactus Head.😏👊

one of the best music videos ive seen!

[@owencampbell1773]

Was born 2002 was raised in this shit man wish he could still be here to show this generation up

[@alexfriedman2047]

This will always be my fav Sublime song... Reminds me of partying in High school back in like 2004 and after being in crazy madness and having fun walking home at like 3 AM drunk with a few homies and girls.... What a marvelous time and a great song reminding me of my youth.

[@DukeCityExplorer]

My little one goes straight for the Sublime cds when he gets in my car. Memories...we're creating...

[@thunderbird628]

their music has helped me feel happy through so many rough moments!! bradley was a huge lost, may he rest in peace

[@alchemyfitnessandvitality]

These tunes bring me back...😊

[@beeschurgerr]

I grew up in so cal listening to them all the time. I recently moved out of state and this song takes me back to those easy days chillin at the beach with friends. agh I hate growing up

[@c5natie1]

The guy in the back at 0:59 always cracks me up lol. Love this video. Everyone is having a blast a no one gives a f*** about having a "beach body" or not haha

I can't get him out of my head thanks a lot! Lol 😂

[@richardpernice6768]

I'm covered in tattoos and Sublime's is the one that's too sacred to me to actually get. Life's a trip

[@zickykane5206]

A song about addiction, and a hope that someone will save you...will get you off that reef. Stay strong out there. You'll get off that reef someday.

[@ahhwe-any7434]

Oh I thought it was in between adulting & being scared of adulting. This unintentionally made me think of blue October.

[@StormTwip]

I'm piss drunk on the floor listing to sublime. Wow. Such a influence in my new chapter in life. Thank you

[@sharkrpr]

my dad owned every single sublime song on cd. These songs are my childhood. RIP dad❤️

[@kayleesharp982]

Well, I'll never get to meet Bradley, but I found out about the band Badfish a month ago when they played a show in my village lol. They put on an amazing show, and respected Bradley and sublime all through it. He would have been so proud. The love of sublime that came through everyone was absolutely amazing. Was legit the best concert I've been too

[@jamiehovis7722]

Amazing artist

[@bored1980]

This takes me back to my teenage years. What a time.

[@eddypager2574]

Love sublime in the 90's Good times indeed!!

[@l.j.garcia1042]

Just pause it at 2:46, such a beautiful shot that gives me the feels everytime. Reminds me of my dog and how I always listened to Sublime when she was beside me.

[@thehareandshroom2994]

Beyond thankful I grew up listening to Sublime. My first stick and poke tattoos, many moons ago, were fashioned after the Sublime logo. I’m 44 and still dance around my porch and drink Coronas to this, almost daily. Can’t wait to rock my grandchildren, that don’t exist yet, to sleep to this soft wavy beat.

[@mikepearse5196]

A needle, string and a jar of ink. Good times.

[@guilhermenavarro8658]

What a singer... the guy was fantastic

[@SUBMELON]

Best band ever PERIOD.

[@sherryeastburn1267]

This song speaks to my soul, I feel every word ♡

[@thelifeofkim8581]

My daughters daddys favorite song. He passed away in September at 42 years old. Listening to this song makes me cry now.

[@mrsalexisbeach]

This was my mom's favorite song. Today's her birthday and this year would make 9 years since she's been gone. I love you momma, happy birthday. I hope you're set free from the struggles of this horrible world.
