Taps- Sober (Official Music Video)

[@DesAndSun_]

I’m one of the ones who heard this on criminal minds and immediately googled the lyrics to find out what song this was! I started crying as soon as I played this video. Your voice is amazingly beautiful and this song is so powerful. I love artists like you.

This song isn’t about drug addiction in the literally sense. It’s about being addicted to someone you’re in love with, but who never loved you back. This is every single word my head, heart and soul screamed at my ex during our marriage, especially when I finally started to break away and leave. Only then did he act like he wanted me or cared. I tried to leave three times before the actual divorce (three attempts at sobriety) and each time he put on his act and I stayed (three relapses that lasted years). Thank you for putting such raw, real pain into song. It’s 3 minutes and 37 seconds of pure healing and self-forgiveness.

Haha me too! Shazam couldn't find it, googling lyrics didn't help but searching for music on Criminal Minds did :D such a good song!

[@taylorsuitto182]

So glad I watched the episode of criminal Minds because I love this song ❤

[@chescafrancisco]

Thank you Criminal Minds for introducing me to a great artist ❤

[@kasey_n_landon]

I'm here from Criminal Minds last night. I absolutely LOVE this song!!!!

[@lauhuili1090]

Criminal minds has brought all of us here ^^ it’s such a pretty songgg

[@evantachoir4144]

This is a great choice for Criminal Minds Broken Wing if you listen to the lyrics. He’s talking about a relationship using the metaphor of addiction and the breakup being sobering up. In the episode the killer started killing after his wife, who was an addict, died. You could say he was addicted to her and the line “now that it’s over, and I’m sober (she’s gone/the relationship is over) the pain is so real” hits different

[@rebeccapeasley9066]

I heard this song on Criminal minds and knew without looking it up that this was you Taps. Your music is so moving. I absolutely love your music!

[@amityolson6427]

[@eufemiadicanto1845]

I have heard the song on criminal mind and I found it straight away on u tube is apsolu gorgeous

[@KelseyH1]

A true Criminal Minds fan knew this was you at the end of the episode ❤️

[@lindsayannsings428]

The one person who disliked this song is definitely not sober... This song is hauntingly beautiful. Bravo, Taps

[@anthonyisaza5742]

I agree 700% . This song gives me chills each time

[@cariaynmorgan3495]

Thank you Criminal minds!

[@Lisa-ld1mn]

You managed to put the ending of a love with an addict into words. I realize that you're saying you're sober from your love affair but it's so relatable to loving an addict. What a way with words and what a gift you have!

[@baybayginge]

When you hold me You can't even see the pain my face is hidin' You don't even know how much my heart is breakin' Cause you don't seem to care at all When you touch me You don't even feel the love I give is dyin' And nothin' that you do is satisfyin' But I did my best to love you anyway But now that it's over and I'm sober This hurt that I feel is so real Don't you get closer I get colder, the longer you hold me near When you kiss me You can't even tell my lips don't even want you Sad as this may be but, this is what you do You win my love and you steal my heart But now that it's over and I'm sober This hurt that I feel is so real Don't you get closer I get colder, the longer you hold me near I wanted you to be the one Tasted your love and now it's done And you led me on And I followed you You're my drug of choice What could I do But now that it's over and I'm sober This hurt that I feel is so real Don't you get closer I get colder, the longer you hold me near Now that it's over and I'm sober This hurt that I feel is so real Don't you get closer I get colder, the longer you hold me near

[@joshhadwiger9390]

I finally found this damn song.

[@vimbaiangelamuzonda3289]

My daughters and I are hooked! We r here in Zim and so proud of you. My daughter says Taps lays his life on the line every time he sings, it's like he puts it all out there, holds nothing back as if there's no tomorrow.....and I said that's right and that's his gift, we feel his voice. She said yes, it's as if we are right there with him. Thank you Taps. God bless you.

[@jerseygoddess21]

Criminal minds had me searching who sings this song!!! Took me a few but here I am. Love love love this song!! Amazing.

[@faychmil]

Jersey Gambler same girl😘

[@0000lola0000]

Taps, your voice & lyrics in the first few seconds of this song were so powerful on that #CriminalMinds episode. Hearing it & watching the tragic character show those tattoos, with that expression on his face brought me to tears. It was so profoundly moving that I had to find the creator of this beautiful sound. LOVE your voice! ❤

[@compherut]

After that criminal minds episode I found this song and it’s been a favorite of mine since. Makes me feel strong and let’s me cry my fears and stress away. This song is amazing and so is your voice

[@tapsempire]

Thank you so much. This means a lot

[@victoriabracken6480]

It is really a beautiful song! ❤❤

[@editsamongotherthings5262]

Criminal minds too 🥺

[@jaymemetty4256]

I was binge watching Criminal Minds - normal evening. Put my 5 little kiddos to bed for some me time. I instantly heard this song and my whole being paused, I swear my heart stopped at the sound of your voice. I started singing at 2 years old - and music is my passion. Music does so much for a person’s soul, and every now and then a song comes into my life that touches me. This was that song. Thank you for sharing your gift. *If you’re ever looking for a duet you know where to find one!*

[@putripucukkunjui2922]

Yes,like Criminal Minds☺️

[@HerrFrutex]

One of his other songs (What have I done) was on the show at 10x05 :)

[@imaqtee1]

This song is so powerful! Thanks Criminal Mind for playing it, because I don’t think I would have ever heard it otherwise...Beautiful!

[@Blink1828533]

Criminal Minds fault for not putting your name at the end of the show, because I couldn't find it

[@tinker2027-h2t]

all you have to do its put in the song and it will show you... not bye the name

[@thotchocolate8503]

I watched it through Prime Video and I found the title through the trivia thing

[@shannonblanthorne]

This is absolutely beautiful, it played at the end of Criminal Minds and I went hunting for the song! Just bought it and I know I'm going to be listening to it on repeat.

[@daniellecundiff8345]

I met my husband when I was in active addiction. I got sober 07/06/2018, my marriage rapidly fell apart once I stopped using drugs to cope with my trauma. I picked up my divorce papers today, in 30 days, I will officially be single again. This song makes me cry, but it also helps remind me that these raw emotions I use heroin and/or meth to hide are ok to feel. My pink cloud has popped...my world is crumbling...but relapse will be certain death.

[@0000lola0000]

I am so happy that you're in recovery. It's a hard road in the beginning and it takes time but your life will absolutely get better. You are taking control of your life back. Stay near those who move you forward and not backwards and in time you will become the best of who you could possibly be. And you'll bring joy to the people who love you. Best of luck. 💕🤞

[@brobafett9151]

Same...exact...story. we'll be okay.

[@Jayskiallthewayski]

Hang in there, cry, yell, fight as much as you need and one day soon you feel a tiny window in your pain. Maybe a minute when you are perfectly ok. That window will become bigger and more frequent. But that first tiny window means everything.

[@brandonpaluses1980]

Dont normally reply to comments on KZbin, but I 7/6/18 is a special day for myself..its also the day I entered recovery. We all have different struggles, but stay strong. It's hard to look back at the pain you are going thru/caused, but your happiness is most important. I'm proud of you..one day at a time.

[@Jessicamorgan1997xo]

Danielle Cundiff please stay sober x

[@sakura600]

This isn’t the first time criminal minds used one of your songs, they used one of your songs a couple years back. I only knew this because I honestly didn’t remember subscribing to you, so then I looked at your videos and saw what have I done, and instantly remembered you. Your voice is still amazing, and I hope to hear more from you! I now hit the notification bell so I’ll definitely won’t be missing any of your uploads!

[@HerrFrutex]

Yeah. It was "What have I done" on 10x05 :) I knew instantly I knew that voice.

[@insomniabynight4542]

I don't care what anyone says... This guy deserves more recognition.!

[@BrAnDiSeXt0n90]

Heard this on criminal minds!!! I can feel the pain in your voice. Absolutely amazing!!

[@didzislevans8894]

This song is such a masterpiece of slow music. Piano and strings are so powerful that could break your heart again, and lyrics speaks from both perspectives - the one who stayed and the one who went away. And the silences between words....

[@melissagary9467]

Beautiful song... Criminal minds brought me as well.. Love this.. ❤

[@DjGerryLoveSongs]

Wow it is absolutely AMAZING.....Your Best song ever! And one of the Best Songs Ever! Congratulations Taps and Good Luck, I hope this is the Song that makes it Big for you. Get it on Radio Please!

[@eddymclain1291]

What grabs me the most in everything Taps touches is the sheer emotion he puts into everything. The incredible unfaultering range just holds you in the song from beginning to end. You cannot forget him it's that simple!

[@TheGame7100]

This song helps me so much when i dont feel good like now..

[@tapsempire]

I'm so sorry you don't feel good right now. I'm so glad that this song helps a little bit.

[@crystalclearUK111]

I just heard this on Criminal Minds - wow...glad I found it from the lyrics. Beautiful and pure.

[@BeautifullyBrokenDisaster]

This song may or may not be about being a drug addict, I'm not sure but either way hearing this song really made me break out in tears. This song to me, is dedicated to all of the the people in the world who are/were like me... A DRUG ADDICT!!! Now, THANKS TO GOD, MY HANDSOME LOVING HUSBAND & MY 3 BEAUTIFUL, SMART, AMAZING & CARING LITTLE ANGELS(MY 3 BOYS) I AM CLEAN AND HAVE BEEN CLEAN FROM ALL OPIATES FOR 8 YEARS!!! I am a recovering addict. I was so addicted to opiates for years, and when those pain killers didn't work anymore I turned to heroin. I just kept on and on and on until one day my husband told me he had had enough & it was either the dope or him & our 3 kids.. I chose my family. Its hard to get clean, in fact it was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but I am here to tell whoever is reading this, especially if your an addict of anything, YOU CAN GET CLEAN!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, SET YOUR MIND & YOUR HEART TO BECOMING CLEAN, AND MOST OF ALL HAVE FAITH IN GOD AND YOURSELF!! I know you feel like you cant do it, I know.you feel like nobody cares if you live or die, but I promise that's NOT TRUE!! I CARE ABOUT YOU EVEN THOUGH I DONT KNOW YOU I CARE!! Please, just give yourself some time and at least try!!

I am so sorry. But Criminal Minds is just epic as a show. I live for the storyline, the soundtrack of every episode and the quotes at the start and the end. I just adore the show and how much all the characters have grown over time 💖

I also heard this at the end of a Criminal Minds episode....what an incredibly beautiful song and voice!

[@sebz1390]

This song really hits hard as I found it at the end of criminal minds. Really describes my story and a lost fiancé that I wish I could show this for. She left me because of my alcohol addiction and I don’t blame her, I was a terrible partner and she deserved better. Essentially when she left me I realized I need to get sober and it infact saved me. Currently working on a letter to make my amends to her, but it so hard to put so much love on to a piece of paper with a pen. I’ll always love you Alana, and I can’t say I’m sorry enough for taking you granted. ❤
