The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down (Symphonic Edition) [Official Music Video]

[@defoe7750]

As writer and director I feel it was important to show how PTSD still can affect a domestic violence survivor even 17 years later. But more importantly I wanted to show how we can recover quickly with tools. This was such an incredible honor to be apart of and as a domestic survivor myself, it was a healing process for me to be able to share this message with you.

[@defoe7750]

Edit: 16 years later ❤❤❤

[@christinamatteson9649]

I can barely speak through the tears, this song touches a nerve. I've been there too and unfortunately my kids were there. my youngest daughter became a domestic violence case worker at a shelter for both men and women. she got burned out it just killed her and she left for a little while and she was a medical case worker for HIV patients, and then she went back to the shelter to manage it. her heart is there and it's not hard to figure out why, even if you can just save one person, one family. your first video of this song is pretty much what they saw in a regular basis, it is crazy as it sounds leaving was really scary but it's the best thing I ever did. people don't understand your frame of mind my friend came to me and said if you don't want to save yourself save your kids that's all it took......my kids came out great for the hell they went through, I'm always sorry I didn't leave sooner. but you're right with the right tools you understand what happened, why you stayed., and how to change it. PTSD is so real. thank you for making this video I did share it with Elizabeth Elizabeth is also a huge fan. my kids are in a good place they are the most amazing people have ever known

[@stormyphillips5090]

Thank you guys for this

[@willisstalemate2705]

As someone who spent most of my childhood being physically and mentally abused, I agree about the importance of showing how PTSD causes you to relive and feel that pain all over again, throughout your life. Here I am, 40 years old now, and just watching the video of someone else's pain, put me back into that space of lying on the floor, hoping for an end. Years of therapy and a spouse that was willing to help whatever way they could, have helped me a lot with dealing, but that torture never truly goes away sadly. Everyone working on this did an incredible job, thank you for bringing us a new vision for this great song.

[@belb1971]

It's been 30 years since I divorced my abuser, and I still deal with PTSD from it. Not as bad as I used to, but there are some issues I may never fully recover from.

[@wiccan-demiurge]

@@mysoullesscorpse it was such a beautiful choice to make when they were planning the video out, because the world so often does not pause to give us time to recover. They deliberately did. I hope people see that and take a cue from it. ❤

I'm a DV survivor with a PTSD diagnosis. I was a teen mom and I barely escaped my ex-husband with my life in 2001. I've recently purchased my first home, been promoted at work, I'm 3 classes away from a Bachelor's AND my AA degrees and I'm getting married to my best friend in November. I just realized that the lady in this video is the same woman from the original video! When I realized that, it brought me to tears. Her success and newfound happiness is tangible, and seeing that the trauma still sneaks back in to destroy it, resonates in my soul. What an everlasting masterpiece!

[@CaptainBarrera]

I love how all these older bands are re-releasing old songs. Emo will never die!!!

[@emperorstein]

Emo's not dead 💖 Never say die! 💪💀👑

[@adaypastdead890]

Unfortunately Emo is dying. Maybe not in us, but in our friends we lose to suicide, those lost to alcohol and drug use. I had to write a friend who was injured in an accident involving substance abuse about how I’m not leaving (them) behind, I’m waiting for them to catch up. I had to bury my brother’s best friend. I have a friend who killed someone when they were driving drunk. The story doesn’t end with my friends, my family. The story ends when the abuse ends, and it’s a long harrowing road. Never be afraid to offer support, never be afraid to stand in defiance, never be afraid to be a voice of the voiceless.

Ironic timing. 16 years ago I entered into an abusive relationship. He introduced me to this song. For 16 years I slowly began to understand what the lyrics really meant. I left my husband last month and we are finalizing the paperwork in 2 weeks. This new version feels more relatable and more meaningful than ever. Thank you for this ❤️

Congratulations, truly. It takes a lot of strength to finally cut ties, I have been in 3 different abusive relationships, ranging from physical, to emotional, to mentally abusive and the longest one took me 6 years to get out of, so I couldn't imagine the pain you've been through. Keep fighting, keep your head up, and keep telling your story. You never know who you may help, whether intentionally or inadvertently.

As an abuse survivor that found this song 15 years ago, as a teen, with only escapism through music listening to this song soothed me.

The song still soothes me but in a different way. Absolutely incredible work. 🙌🏻

I love the fact this version continues the original story of the original release of the song and the emotional feeling throughout both hit the same chords that no one should be treated like this and should always find help. Absolutely brilliant job on everyone's behalf for the video and Red for rerecording this and making it more elegant and just as amazing as the original release.

[@michelleking3043]

12 years I spent in a relationship with mental and emotional abuse. I started listening to this song 9 years ago after I left him. Every time I hear it I remember why I left. Thank you for highlighting DV and the PTSD that comes with it. 2 days ago in cvs I heard and saw a man berate his wife in front of me because she forgot to get a receipt, I got scared and sweaty but I stopped her and showed her you can see the receipt for prescriptions in the cvs app. The man said thank you and the woman looked grateful. I think I saved her from getting talked down to all night. If you see something speak up!

[@GaarasGirlRin13]

This released when I was in middle school, and in high school I was in an abusive relationship. Now 12 years later, with PTSD from it, I am finally in therapy and this song re-released. It hit me like a freight train with all the emotions coming back.

Got here late, but thank you for this. My 8 year anniversary of leaving him was a few days ago. Thank you for not making me feel crazy for still being so messed up by it… even if I’m so happy and safe now. I got married in July to the kindest man. But man do I relate to a lot of this. Thank you.

[@antonioulibarri3773]

I grew up in an abusive home. I watched my mother use makeup to cover up black eyes. Me and my siblings would use “rough housing” as an explanation for bruises when teachers asked if we were ok. When this song premiered on MTV I was 13-14 years old. And I couldn’t believe the wave of emotion came over me. It was one of the first times I realized I wasn’t alone. Fast forward to now, I watched my mom survive and recover from our past and she is now married to the most loving man I’ve ever met. To this day I thank him for helping her. This video was an awesome representation of PTSD and how we can still feel trapped. But with a helping hand and loving people we can keep going. Much love RJA. Come back to Albuquerque soon. ❤️

2009: A rock song is released to the world and an eight year old me is seeing this song heard in a flash animation. The song strikes a special cord within him in the instrumental and amazing vocals. The song helped make a special piece of nostalgia for me and many others, one that was lost, a long time ago... 2022: Here I am, 13 years later, at the age of 21, listening to a symphonic version of the song I grew up with...those memories came back flooding and my life had changed quite a bit since then. The symphony remains beautiful, even after all this time.

[@Kingcole6]

@mysticstrider Sorry, just a moment of nostalgia that the song was giving me. Didn't mean to offend anyone who has dealt with Domestic Abuse in their lives... Though my father was a neglectful sort and I myself was not a nice person for many years so what do I know?

[@musical-chick-134]

God, every single thing about this is a masterpiece. From the impassioned delivery of the lyrics, to the expertly-done flips between vocal registers, to the parallel of putting on makeup in her new life to get ready as opposed to covering up bruises, to the frenetic confusion of the glass breaking leading to a triggering memory, to the pause while she recovers from her flashback on set (cold water for grounding and pulling yourself out of distress!!! a a frequent technique I use myself!!!!!), to her steps toward self-acceptance through creating art...I am sobbing. Thank you so much for creating this. I am in awe, and things like this remind me why I love and value music and art so very, very much.

I am crying. The portrayal of PTSD is so accurate. This was a perfect video to go with this song. I would scream this at the top of my lungs as a young teen when it came out, counting down the days until I turned 18 and could get away. Now I sing it with a smile because I do have a new life, so much better and happier. But incidents will happen that will trigger the fight or flight response, and I'll have to calm myself back down and work through the PTSD episode. 15 years later.

[@elephantluvrrr]

I'm originally from Middleburg and I don't normally comment on videos but felt a strong desire to comment on this one. I'm in the process of ending a toxic marriage. I've been strangled on more than one occasion, kicked in the head and put thru a window, spit on, a broken nose, and many other physical and mental transgressions all by this one person... I normalized this behavior. I defended him. I tried to change my own behavior in hopes the abuse would stop. I tried leaving the marriage many times and each time I went back to him. Why? Fear. I'm still early in my road to recovery and healing. Abusers DON'T change. They lack accountability and emphathy. I was promised roses and given a bouquet of lies and false promises instead. Thank you @The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and your team for this song and these videos. I listen to it multiple times a day as part of my healing process. ❤ I hope one day to see you in concert. How cathartic that would be... "I finally had enough.."

Dear Ronnie, you're one of the reasons why I'm still trying my best to survive despite the challenges that I've been through and will be coming soon. I wish I could write and send you a postcard to express my gratitude for being always there - streaming and interacting with us(your fans) on Facebook, Twitch, and KZbin. This version gave me another interpretation of your lyric's message in another perspective - another sense of meditation. There's more that life has to offer and you've become a huge part of my life and took a piece of my heart. I love you so much, Ronnie. I hope you and the band always take care.

[@kellyj9370]

This is stating it perfectly. I watched the first video over and over years ago still in my abusive marriage, now I watch this after being gone several years and this video speaks so much truth about how it can still hit you on your healing process, but you can still build a new life!! Great job!

[@sereneprincess4940]

As a DV survivor, the original version was always my anthem for “just hang on, you can escape when his back is turned”. I won’t go into details, but the last time I saw my ex husband was by far the most exhilarating feeling. The fact that I went 6 states away to start over is irrelevant. But then you showed that she’s found a partner who is loving, makes sure she remembers her coat, & celebrates her achievements with her... it’s 430am, & i’ve just started a new job, have a new partner that lets me be a weird little chaos gremlin... & for the first time in way too long, I finally feel safe. If you’re reading this, & you don’t trust the roof you’re sleeping under, I promise: one day, you will. One day, the sun will rise on the kind of beautiful morning that you’ll sit there, warm drink in hand, & your loved ones slowly starting to stir inside. One day, you’ll look back & go “It wasn’t worth it, but I’m glad it turned out this way.” You just have to see it.

[@trenty6175]

To Ronnie: your songs single handedly inspired me as a child. I never thought I'd ever be able to sing or play guitar but 15 years later, I've already released 6 songs on my own and got some airplay all whilst staying in a homeless shelter recovering from a drug addiction. I'm 27 now, the lead guitar sections in your older songs still inspire me today especially knowing that you wrote them at 18 years old. Dude, I just wanna say that your recovery alone is a shining light, regardless of how big or small RJA are now idc. Just the recovery is enough. Thank you for how your music influenced not only my emotional life but later on, now my musical life. Knowing that you may even see this message is even more mind blowing. Thank you Ronnie and God bless you my friend. Love from South Africa. Trent

There’s always a way out !!! Even if cops have to get involved. Theres a way out !!know there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel even if it doesn’t feel like it at this moment. My heart goes out to the woman who went through this, are going through this, are still stuck in this, or didn’t get a chance to walk away from this 🤍

I grew up listening to the Don't fake it album and still to this day I love it. This version of face down brings tears to my eyes. And the fact that it is the same girl in both videos brings it home.

It's insane how a song can mean something so different to you today than it did when it first came out. Beautifully redone, hits super hard. Left my abusive husband in June. When she went in the bathroom- it felt like it was me. Well freaking done everyone involved

[@napoleonwhitehorse971]

This was beautiful and I felt the story continues and concludes years after years since the original release since 2006( middle school days). Once again this Iconic Song rereleased in a symphonic way and telling the story of a former victim now living her life and making videos of spreading the message about domestic violence and abuse that rages on society. I hope this story and the message spreads through this generations and generations to come! Thank you Red Jumpsuit Apparatus! Staying Strong since the Beginning!

So as an elder emo, I never really appreciated the symbolism behind this song when it first came out, but four years ago, a very close family member became the survivor of an extremely violent attack that almost cost her her life. Thank for this follow-up showing how resilient survivors really are ❤️

[@houseofhalseys7450]

Years later and a message still stronger than ever, absolutely beautiful. I love seeing you guys creating.

[@joshuawatson1902]

As someone with PTSD, thank you so much for making this beautiful film. This made me cry, and was so validating to know that I am not alone. Thank you.

[@beezybeez6285]

This is so good but you must hear "Whispering Wolf" or "Live Not Survive" by SLT 🔥🎸🤘

[@luqmanstarship7568]

After 15 years, I always sing this song every weeks, every months and every years. I love this song so much when im a teenager. Until now I love this so much. Love you RedJumps!

[@beccabagby534]

I just got out of a situation like this just a month ago . I finally had enough. Both versions of this song are helping me heal and deal. I love this video so much. Thank you so much for remaking the song. ❤️❤️

[@mollyfriend376]

This song still gives me chills after all these years. And I hope RJA knows how much this song means to so many people.

[@mattsartori5998]

"It was you" and "dive too deep" were some of the songs that i played on my wedding. I've love the band since high school, and even though my favorite genre is metalcore, this band holds a special place in my heart. This version is awesome, and his voice still on point, even better.

[@JennJohnson9217]

This song helped me heal so much when I was younger, and seeing her healing but still feeling the effects of C-PTSD is relatable now on so many levels thank you guys so much for this updated story

[@sherylbelanger9180]

This song hits as hard, if not harder now than it did with the original. Such a powerful and effective song, video and message. My husband is a therapist and I am going to suggest he plays this video in group sessions for trauma survivors. Thank you, RJA! Much love.

[@johnbuczkowski400]

This version is so much more impactful and shows a deeper meaning to it. Another work of art! Prayers to all those who are survivors of domestic violence and who are continuing everyday to be stronger than the last.

I don't normally comment on youtube videos, but I saw that this song was being remade and I listened and loved it. I saw you were releasing a new video on it, and heard your comments of people not liking what you were doing with it. I was a fan of the original, and I am still a fan after today. This was beautiful, and everything about it made me watch in awe. Watching, I said to myself, "no, that can't be," and rewatched the original, to notice that this story continues from the version I grew up with, and I absolutely LOVE that. I love that you kept this actress, and I loved her role in this. Y'all are amazing and if anyone out there DID have anything negative to say about what you made here, all I gotta say is ignore the haters and keep being perfect.

[@wolfmom53]

I know how much PTSD sucks, and some of this is also showing how the anxiety can get you, later way after the abuse or whatever may have you given you PSTD. Also amazing how his voice sounds the same after this many years. ❤

[@beezybeez4207]

This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🎧🎸🤘

[@brittanieash5488]

Thank you. I remember being young, and dumb. I got into a toxic relationship, and even married him. I remember listening to this song, the original. And I remember really understanding and connecting. I remember getting the nerve to leave, and move on and blasting that song. You guys helped me through the most trying time of my life. I often listened to the original to remember how far I’ve come and how strong I am. And then you guys release this version. And it is the most beautiful, heartfelt feeling I’ve ever had. Thank you. So fucking much.

[@Ok_itsAjoke]

Thank you for doing this. It is absolutely beautiful and I am here crying many years later hearing the song. To anyone suffering from this, Please seek help, I promise there is a way out ❤️

[@victoriaescobal7761]

I cried a lot! It reminded me of a friend who died because of domestic violence and I hope this song and video would help those women who feel helpless to speak up about experiencing violence so people can help them. Thank you, RJA!

[@thatdudekyle5690]

I will always love the original version. Infact, it was one of the first songs i ever covered with my first band as a kid. But I absolutely LOVE this. Bringing to light how abusive relationships can have lasting effects for YEARS. This was beautiful. Bravo fellas. Bravo!!

[@shintenayatsura]

This song has withstood the test of time RJSA. I honestly did not know if you were still making music or even touring. I first heard this song back in 06 and hearing it in a completely different form still tackling the same issues that was the original message of this song. Thank you for re releasing this song in 2024. For every DV survivor we are not alone and DV just doesnt mean for husband and wife. Children are also victims are domestic violence from their parents or step parents. I am 34 now I was 16 when i heard this song.

[@caseykae4697]

As a dv survivor, it’s been 7 years for me and my life has completely changed for me. Down to disk un interactions. I get flashbacks randomly, if i see any one close to his image, it’s triggers me. No one understands because people think I should “be over it.” Thank you for showing the reality.

[@angelaray-patterson669]

This honestly made me cry. This is PTSD from domestic violence. It is embedded in your mind. I myself I am survivor from domestic violence and sexual assualt. I now advocate for those who chose to walk away from those situations.

[@RayTheLlama]

This kinda crazy, I used to listen to you guys a lot when I was in middle school. In fact, I hadn't thought of this song in years until I saw there was going to be a new version. It's kinda crazy how things work out, one moment I am an edgy 15 year old, the next a working 31 year old. This was a true masterpiece in every way.

[@Rustystringmusic]

His voice hasn't change a bit from decades ever since then when he sing this song.

[@teganbeecham3981]

It’s hard u still have moments many years later. Thank so much for redoing this song. It helped me so much

[@cimarronboy]

From the war for freedom and safety to the healing process of success, THIS is how music causes and changes with life. Literally the rock version was full of rebellion and retaliation energy and the symph version is just pure recovery and joy/hope. May not be the same but I unknowingly grew up with a narcissistic parent. Wasn't until recently I discovered this. Both versions totally feel right for being on the receiving end of someone elses intentions.

[@nadiaaguilera2204]

From the original to this one, it was and still is so beautiful! Thank you so much for doing this. You had me crying but in a good way. Thank you for what you guys do.

[@ausinicol2849]

As someone who has been out of an abusive relationship for a few years now and gone through intense amounts of therapy....it took me a few pauses to get through the video but this is because I feel like you guys did such an amazing job capturing the emotions of what it's like dealing with PTSD from a traumatic relationship! It was hard but amazing! I'm really appreciative that you guys decided to do this!

[@iamSYDNEY]

Wow 2000s pop punk era vibes! I really miss this! Thank you so much for reviving it and also I want to add the singer is not aging and his voice is still the same. How amazing is that? I really love your band so much, you make the world beautiful & different. ❤️

[@gokulkrishm51]

Is it normal to miss a time you never lived?

[@reignbow_official2582]

very few pieces of media can make me cry. This is one of them. Beautiful and poetic.

[@joelhuett5735]

I never knew this classic could get any better but here we are! Well done!!! Yall are still one of my all time favorite bands!!!! I still remember talking with ronnie and his wife after the show at the national in richmond for like 15 minutes! Yall still rock!!!

[@SEPCoopEntertainment]

Really Like this the fact you got the lady from the original to return and the various other references. the ptsd jumpcut thing was interesting the photo shoot thing i didn't understand however overall enjoyed it

[@michaeljoe3574]

I don't really leave comments on KZbin but this is worthy enough to be the first. Damn I had goosebumps to that nostalgia overload and of course having it as a new sound. I just remembered my friends in highschool and one of them would need this song as it is pretty much one part of her story so far; "A girl who suffered PTSD and Depression on a toxic relationship." Love you guys and I'm happy to hear you guys again.
