This song came on while I was in the truck with my four year old daughter in the back seat. She asked me why he feels like a freak? I said, “I don’t know, maybe he just feels that way because he can’t be happy”. She said, “I don’t think he’s a freak, I just want to give him a hug so he doesn’t feel sad anymore.” That broke me, only a child’s innocence could show such unbiased love to another human being. We were all like that once. I was in a dark place at the time but that pulled me out. No matter who you are, when you’re feeling helpless and alone, SOMEBODY out there in the world loves you, and always remember that Jesus loves you more. Stay blessed everyone!!

Heard this song for the first time in October 2018 while driving to Quebec City for what was supposed to be my last vacation with my boyfriend. I wanted him to have good memories of me… of us. I was so ready to end it all a few days later. This song changed my life for the better. It made me realize so much. In July 1st 2019, we made a trip to Boston to see Shinedown and Badflower was doing one of the first part. To tell you how much I cried when they played ghost. Today, my boyfriend and I are engaged, bought a house and are raising our 2 year old son. Life gets better. Make sure to be there to witness the beauty of it ❤

This song makes me so emotional, no many how many times I hear it in repeat. Hearing the lyrics triggered a memory. It feels almost traumatizing that I've tried as many times and the lyrics described exactly how it felt every single time you try. Depression fucking sucks but the fact that there are so many people who struggle with makes you feel a little less alone. Whether it is a chemical imbalance or something else, the struggle to wake up everyday is so unreal. Music like this helps so much to heal..

Couldn't have said it any better. And yes, we are never ever alone in our struggle/fight/battle with depression. When it gets bad again to the point of suicidal thoughts or tendencies, I listen to music first and foremost because it's my depressions kryptonite.

Due to reflection, maturing, and many learned lessons - I now have an entire faith in myself to carry through this life. Without the suffocating feel of gasping for every shallow breathe. Now and forever, breathing deeply. Steadily. Happily.

So when heard this song in concert I had no idea who bad flower was. But I had recently had a suicide attempt and listening to this song hit me hard. It was overwhelming at the time for me to hear. But now. Months later. I’m a better state of mind, I’m glad I found this song again. I connect so much to it. With Everything described I feel like I could have wrote it.

[@thewinningash]

So Glad youre still here ❤

[@billy000ling]

I hope you are doing good

[@crystalhandley3541]

This is the first time I saw this version it's absolutely beautiful the raw emotions I love it

[@WinyanHanhepiwi]

Really looking forward to seeing these guys live. This is some serious talent, here. The raw, emotional songwriting and vocals - wow. And can I just say, speaking as a classically trained pianist, that is just some beautiful, clean, effortless piano technic right there.

[@tripxez8478]

2:45 is why I listen to music..one of my favorite bands to date.

[@andrewhockenheimer8956]

I love this so much you guys are gonna go places, I found you guys when I heard Ghost on the radio and I definitely am a life long fan now

[@mikedouglas1226]

Me too what u just said

Andrew Hockenheimer their future is bright!

[@russelllynch7606]

Sirius xm plays Badflower alot. My local channels never play them or any good music. #iheartradio destroyed Louisville, KY rock.

[@brucehoneyman2945]

you know unlike so many artists he had to be involved with this there's just to much raw emotion. He has probably touched so many with this song and helped them through horrible times.

[@amysinger7229]

I just found this band yesterday and was just speechless by the official video of this song. I just watched this version and ...... I am blown away. I am pretty biased when it comes to music and have not really cared for any new bands because they have no talent!!! But I am in love thus far and I can barely type because I want to listen to all of the other songs y'all have!! BRAVO!!!!

[@stacyn.t.turner1609]

Same here & in agreement with u! This is absolute talent and, and well speechless right now bc of how great this is & in this day and age at that. Great job Badflower!!!❤🎉😊

[@Karli841]

I don’t even have words to describe how perfect this is. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with the world 💚

[@DamonCampbellTV]

Karlie so good!

[@Roamingraven37]

I heard you on octane on XM radio and I have axienty and depression like you and I can relate to this song. Thank you for it. Can't wait to see you in Pittsburgh in March

Musicianship is so tight… powerful

I legitimately have no idea how josh performs this without crying. The acoustic version hits on an even deeper level 🖤

[@nightchild8324]

I think I might be in love with this version even more than the original! When are you guys coming to Denver Colorado? I would love to see you guys play at the Roxy or an equally intimate setting!

[@CaraLucky777]

They are playing at the marquis theater on the 14th of this month and then will be back in CO February 26 @ the Ogden with nothing more! Can't wait for these shows!

[@nightchild8324]

[@ntxoil8894]

This is one of the best acoustic songs I've listened to from new age artists.

[@justamotorcycleenthusiast9800]

When a great produced song is published and then you hear an acoustic version and your mind is blown!

[@zacramirez7675]

I appreciate you

[@bluejai4212]

I love this song so damn much. The minimalist approach makes it that much more heavy. Can’t get enough.

[@daisygirl315]

IM SO PROUD OF YOU GUYS, I’m amazed at how far you guys have come. I feel like I’m not alone and Thankyou for saving me

I’ve listened to the original so many times bought it on iTunes because I loved it so much I think my husband is growing concerned with how much I love this song ! 🙈

[@nightchild8324]

I am having that same issue! But I can't stop listening to it!!

[@bhoogie237]

Bean Child no, thank you for reaching out. I’m not really ok at all right now. I just feel very empty and useless. I actually forgot I posted this a while back and came back to post something tonight because I’m really going through it right now. I just don’t know what to do or feel.

[@bhoogie237]

Kareen Burgos thank you so much. I’ll keep fighting, it just feels pointless to sometimes.

[@RedBandanaGarage]

Bdoogie bro...it always feels that way. Then it doesn’t. Then it does again. It’ll yo-yo with you , but remember this is just your consciousness being an ass. In this era, we don’t have anything to live for anymore other than each other, we don’t have great wars or famine to survive. Or anything for that matter, so our minds try to give us ideas of no hope to cope with the lack thereof. Just remember, the candle is still lit and we need to ensure it stays that way for as long as possible. Don’t rely on your brain but your heart. It is the feelings you have for every small thing that will keep you going. They will give you the joy you miss, and you should cherish those moments because they are worth living no matter how twisted it may seem.

This is a jam 🤘but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺 🎹 🎸

[@amandahale7510]

rip to my Big Brother Samuel Mark Benslay. MAY 4TH 2007. The day part of my heart died, and slowly kills the rest. I think at times he was the smart one. But my 2 year old MEAN ASS, reminds me why Im here. My brother took enough drugs "EVERY SINGLE DRUG ON THE MARKET IN 07" to kill 10 people and then hung himself in the woods behind his house. When my son was born in 17 (10 years later) he has a birth mark on the back of his neck.. I think my brother came back to me. We shall see as he gets older. My mom says my brother and I acted the same way as toddlers and Raiden acts just like that. Another irony, My mom made my brother a crosshatched blanket YEARS ago, When raiden saw it, He said mine... BTW my child doesn't talk much at all.. There was 18 years between me and my brother Sam.. LOVE YOU BUBBA THINK OF YOU EVERY DAY...........

[@atmassylphen6785]

I remember first hearing this song at your show last July when you opened for THE STRUTS in HAMPTON NH.and I was just like WOW! I had the same response with this version. I must have heard this song so many times since then and I always have the same response. Thanks so much for opening up to your fans and writing such a powerful song. I feel like you saved so many people and made them feel like they aren’t alone in this world struggling through what people are afraid to talk about. Can’t wait for your new album. Just pre ordered my copy last night. Keep writing!! Love you guys!! ❤️♥️❤️♥️
