We were honored to be the kids singing with you on this, grandson. Hope it's just the beginning..... Love, The West Los Angeles Children's Choir

'Turn off the lights, nobody make a sound'. Chilling.

As a teenager whose school now trains us to be prepared for an eventual shooting (they put us in situations where we are timed and need to lock door, close lights, block door, etc.) I can say that I don’t want to learn how to survive a school shooting, I want the government to put their efforts in preventing them.

Wow. This song came out 4 years ago. Still prominent and relevant.

We were proud to have been able to sing along. Thanks, Grandson. Love, The West Los Angeles Children's Choir

"Turn off all the lights, nobody make a sound" This is so sad

this song shouldn’t have to be true to this day. i am completely heartbroken.

well here we are again.

This was the first thing I listened to after my school was the most recent victim. A month ago I commented “shivers.” I’ve never related more now. This song blasted on our car speakers as we rushed to pick up my young sisters from another school. The older one (11) ran into my arms sobbing. When I woke up that morning to hear the news (I was out sick) the first thing I asked was “how many?” We got lucky here in Noblesville. Never again should a 14 year old have to ask how many of her friends are dead.

When the little kid said “ we all fall down “ hit me

“What’s one thing you can never clean?” “The reputation of the US government.”

What cuts the deepest is the child saying "All fall down."

"they wanna arm the teachers I think I saw the reaper" well, they just did

Another shooting today in El Paso. This song grows more gruesome the longer I live.

I remember when this song was released after the parkland shooting. Four years ago when I was a freshman in highschool.. It's now been a full year since I graduated. Nothing changed. Nothing truly got accomplished. I refuse to ever have children if I have to worry about just sending them to school.

It’s frightening how relevant this still is after four years…

"they want to arm the teachers" "no thoughts no prayers can bring back whats no longer there" this hit deep, absolutely amazing, can't wait for the music video

*THIS* *SHOULD* *BE* *MORE* *POPULAR*

can we all just take a minute to talk about how grandson knows what he's talking about? I'm not even talking about his opinions on the situation like whether Republicans vs Democrats is better for society. no, he actually is informed on the issues of today's culture. he's someone in our generation who, instead of using his platform to talk about sex, drugs, love, he talks about real issues. that is why he will always be one of my favorite artists. edit: let's think. maybe if America has lots of school shootings, we should take away the very guns that cause them.

As much as I love this song, I shouldn't have to come back to this song every week after hearing the news.

seeing the x's and watching the map turn red makes me wanna cry, 3 more shootings have happened this week alone.

"Turn off all the lights, nobody make a sound." I just sobbed.

“No thoughts, no prayers can bring back what’s no longer there. The silent are damned. The body count is on your hands.” Amen to that!

This gives me chills because of how relevant this is with the situation going on now.

One of the few artists that makes music about things that actually matter. Good song and good message. Love it.

I listen to this everytime a mass shooting happens. I listen to it too much.

there is nothing more horrifying, from an outsider point of view, than seeing multiple comments that say some variation of 'this is still relevant' and you look at the date for them and they were posted 3 years ago, 1 year ago, and 2 hours ago (besides the actual shootings). this comment section is honestly a timeline of US shootings since March of 2018 and i don't understand why your government won't do anything. (date is 25th of may (gmt) and ted cruz tweeting about keeping the families of texas in his prayers reminded me of this song.)

"You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn...How many hearts will be broken...how many lives shattered...how much blood will spill until everybody does what they're *always* going to have to do from the very beginning, SIT DOWN, AND TALK!!!!!!"-The Doctor from Doctor Who, 2015.

I don’t live in America, I don’t even live in a place where guns can be carried freely, but this song is so important and speaks so much truth. The whole world needs to change.

this song literally broke me into tears my school was evacuated on tuesday because of a gunman threat. this songs brings me so much hope, there are adults out there that care and we arent alone. thank you for supporting us. ill do as much as i can to rpomote this song as much as humanly possible

I really can't describe the feelings I felt when I saw Grandson play this song live in 2019 and the name of my hometown scrolled by with names of other cities with school shootings. It's a really powerful song and important message.

It's the beginning of 2020 and there has already been 14 shootings. Kansas City, Missouri San Antonio, Texas Grantsville, Utah Chicago, Illinois Des Moines, Iowa Aurora, Colorado Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi Atlanta, Georgia Ocala, Florida Brooklyn, New York St. Louis, Missouri Cleveland, Ohio Huntington, West Virginia Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico How many were killed: 20 Injured: 45 Involved: 79

I love the message of this song. Note the chorus: "No thought, no prayers can bring back what's no longer there" Doing nothing is getting nothing done. Keep your thoughts and prayers because they're not helping. Stand up and fight for what's right in order to make a true difference.

This is because Trump said "well I send my thoughts and prayers--" and one of the kids from the school that had a shooting lashed out at him and said" we don't want your prayers we want help"

seeing Texas in the news brought me back to this song

My heart is going out to all the people affected by the Uvalde shooting. Completely horrific and senseless.

And people say the newest music is about nothing but worthless garbage. Yeah, sure, you've clearly never met with grandson. My favorite song so far!

Hawaii’s just there chilling

My school got shot up today. Even though there were numerous threats of a shooting, the head of an animal corpse in the courtyard, and words spray painted on the windows, nothing was done to prevent the tragedy. And now at least three are dead. I don’t know how to process this. I just find myself back at this song.

And we're here again.

I hate to see him this underrated!

You know its a lovely day when grandson drops a new song!

The way that I am scared to go to school for the fear I might be shot. I’ve been in a school shooting before. I’ve seen my own friends get shot. I’ve had to hide in the back room where we hope we get found. No it wasn’t the “quiet kid”. It was a grown man. They kill who they can kill and some of then get out with no scratches while my friends bodies lay on the floor. Everytime I hear a fire work I think of hiding in my closet. This song speaks the truth. No kid should experience what I had to.

it’s so heartbreaking how i’ve become so desensitized to everything, just growing up in such a violent and hateful time.. from 9/11 to sandy hook to all the mass shootings and police brutality that occurs every day. i turn on the tv and it doesnt even affect me anymore. i mean, yes it breaks my heart to see all the victims and the hurt and pain that everyone is going through.. but im just, slowly accepting that no one in power cares about these people and their safety and we’re all just left to fend for ourselves..

This dude is seriously so talented, he needs more recognition

going back here due to the recent shootings. i hope you all are safe -- im nowhere near the US but watching the news makes me so goddamn sad for the people living there.

Granson's music highlights everything wrong with the current american government

When the little kid said: “We all fall down” Hits me hard Anyone who has been affected my terrorist attacks, school shooting, knife crime, anything like that, Everyone is thinking of you ❤️

Okay but the flag animation is so clever, I feel like that needs to be pointed out

It's been a year.... and many more X's need to be added. Including yesterday's shooting in Colorado.... Where is our government?

"we all fall down." That little girl actually made me cry.

I’m siick writing this..,19 elementary schoolers and 3 of they’re teachers all gone, 10 days after 10 people were just shopping and their lives were ended. I’m so so sorry to those kids we couldn’t save and to all the future victims of mass attacks, the families lose a loved one and the survivors are forever traumatized..we need this to stop..please!

For God's sake, every song of his is amazing. I adore this dude so much, his music is really meaningful, y'know?

This song legit makes me cry. It genuinely hurts, I can distinctly remember my 4th grade teacher cried to us on the anniversary of Columbine because she lost her son in that shooting. I distinctly remember in 3rd grade my school went into lockdown because there was an armed man. Nothing bad happened, but I went home in tears. I remember my parents picked me and my brother up after his school locked down because there was an armed student on his campus. I remember distinctly when the Arapaho shooting happened. The same school my brother graduated from was shot up. I remember this probably the most vividly because I had 3 friends there. My mom called in for me to be picked up. She picked me up crying. My two friends were shot. One was killed, the other had internal bleeding but survived. My brothers friends little brother was also shot. I remember the school my cousin went to. Was shot. She was alive. These happen way to fucking often. I remember my friend came to me crying because his friend was shot and killed on Valentine’s Day. I remember my best friend calling me crying, when my school went on lockdown because he’s in another fucking country and couldn’t stand it if I was killed.

no thoughts and no prayers will bring back the 21 souls lost today in texas. nothing can justify the continuation of this slaughter. only action can prevent future tragedy. but the refusal of the few will spill the blood of the many. they were just babies... watch history repeat.

I just heard the news and I'm back again how many more times does this have to happen until something changes.. They were so young.. I'm so heartbroken

We're all on here counting the number of mass shootings. This video was posted on March 23rd of 2018. Since then there have been 603 shootings. 334 of which were THIS year. Of course, some of them are less severe than others, but what does that matter? Grandson is constantly writing songs about our own country and what it is and what it's becoming. I still think this song is the most powerful, as it continues to apply to every. Single. Day.

Why aren't powerful, relevant songs like this played on the radio instead of raps about strippers and sex? Edit: There’s a lot of “fake deep” comments and a lot of condescending things under this comment. I posted this the day after my school had its second shooting/bomb threat in ten months, so while I admit I was especially emotional about the topic, people don’t have to be so sharp and rude to each other. C’mon guys :/

and again it repeats itself

Sure love the fact that this only gets more and more relevant as time goes on. My fucking god, can you imagine if prayers ended this all by now?

*LYRICS* (No thoughts, no prayers) (Can bring back what's no longer there) (The silent are damned) (The body count is on your hands) [Verse 1] Smile for the camera Another politician bought I swear I heard another shot Cash another payment Bled all on the canvas There's murder on the campus Another press conference Nothing gets accomplished The shooter's an accomplice Money is the motive The wars in the street Watch history repeat [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Verse 2] Bow before the violence It's a governmental shakedown Welcome to my breakdown Bulletproof backpacks They want to arm the teachers I think I saw the reaper Fear's good for profit Deregulate the casket They're lyin' to the masses How much will it take 'Till you get buried in the coffin that you make? Heaven's sake [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your heads No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your heads [Bridge] Turn off all the lights, nobody make a sound Ashes to ashes, we all fall down Are we out of time when we turn this song around? Are we out of time when we all fall (We all fall down) [Outro] The body count is on your heads The body count is on your heads No thoughts (Nobody) No prayers (Nobody) No thoughts (Nobody) The body count is on your heads No thoughts (Nobody) No prayers (Nobody) No thoughts (Nobody) The body count is on your heads (on your heads)

Sadly this is another week where this song is relevant AF

I don't live in the USA, but... I feel horrible about situation with schoolshootings in US. So many innocent kids died, so many lifes became broken. Despite the fact that in my country (Russia) there are few such situations (probably), this song hit me pretty hard. Grandson, thank you for raising this topic.

We're here yet again...

I love Grandson they always manage to bring an important issue in their music it's not meaningless. ❤

"*Watch history repeat.*" This song hit me hard

almost ironically i stumbled again in this hella deep and good Grandson's song that i forgot just a few days ago. I'm listening to it now too, from the safety of my room in my unarmed european country, as i monitor the live news from Uvalde and the body count rises. "Watch history repeat" The body count is still on their hands, and the weapon lobbies's hands have thousands of fingers

You know I feel one of the most horrifying things of this is that the marks on the map don’t need to be explained

I swear grandson always know how to make a political song properly. I hope this goes places because everyone needs to hear this song right now

(No thoughts, no prayers) (Can bring back what's no longer there) (The silent are damned) (The body count is on your hands) [Verse 1] Smile for the camera Another politician bought I swear I heard another shot Cash another payment Red all on the canvas It's murder on the campus Another press conference Nothing gets accomplished The suit is an accomplice Money is the motive The war is in the street Watch history repeat [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Verse 2] They lobby for the violence It's a governmental shakedown Welcome to my breakdown Bulletproof backpacks They want'ta arm the teachers I think I saw the reaper Fear's good for profit Deregulate the casket They're lyin' to the masses How much will it take 'Till you get buried in the coffin that you make?

Cried to this song years ago and do so now, because it is still way too painfully accurate... Especially with what went down these past few days...

God the kids in Texas... They were so young... It's like Newtown all over again...

And the next X...... How many X's need the U.S.A to change something? Amazing and incredible touching song. Our thoughts are with every victim, their family and friends... ... from Germany R.I.P

Here we are again.

No thoughts, no prayers will bring back the latest victims; May 24th, 2022, Ulvalde, TX, 19 children and 2 adults. that includes two special Ed students aged 8 and 10 who's time was only lengthened by their teacher sacrificing herself.

I love how the song doesn't take a political side and instead explains how fucked up the situation is whether your anti or pro-gun. Great song.

The saddest part about the video is that these are only the school shootings that happened not even in the last 30 years, it begins in 1990. It is so many, and it only gets sensationalized by the media. (Pumped up kicks?)

Whenever it's in the news, I come back here to cry and feel betrayed by my country 😮‍💨

THIS NEEDS TO BE BLASTED ON LOOP IN PROTEST ON THE FRONT DOOR OF OUR TEXAS CAPITAL

[Intro] (No thoughts, no prayers) (Can bring back what's no longer there) (The silent are damned) (The body count is on your hands) [Verse 1] Smile for the camera Another politician bought I swear I heard another shot Cash another payment Red all on the canvas It's murder on the campus Another press conference Nothing gets accomplished The suit is an accomplice Money is the motive The war is in the street Watch history repeat [Chorus] No thoughts and no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Chorus] No thoughts, no prayers Can bring back what's no longer there The silent are damned The body count is on your hands [Verse 2] They lobby for the violence It's a governmental shakedown Welcome to my breakdown Bulletproof backpacks They wanna arm the teachers I think I saw the reaper Fear's good for profit Deregulate the casket They're lyin' to the masses How much will it take 'Til you get buried in the coffin that you make?

You imagine if a school memorized this song and then hooked up speakers and play it while a walk out happened and have other school do it all around. It would make national news

March 27, 2023: Nashville, TN. How many dead kids until something gets done?

And now there is the Texas shooting. They were children. Innocent. Every one with a life as vivid and rich as you reading this comment. Kids who deserved to grow up. Teachers protecting them died, a mother.

This song was recommended to me. It's unlike anything I listen to but the lyrics hit me hard and the x's on the map. Wow. Just wow.

I've never heard of grandson until a little over a week ago. The first song I've ever heard was Blood//Water and I fell in love with it. It was deep, it had a meaning, and it was just my type of style. Every other song never failed to reach my expectations and I have truly feel in love with grandson. I've become to realized how underrated grandson is, and he deserves much more than the small fan base he is. Now this song? Is my favorite. I live in California and today was my first day of high school and I understand this song so much more than I use to. Do I think the rules are going to change soon? No. Having a gun is in our constitution, which means it will never be banned. However, rules should be stricter and we should follow out with these rules. My middle school is right next to my high school and last year I remember hearing that my current high school might go home early due to someone on the internet saying they were going to shoot up the school. Grandson never disappoints and i'm proud to be a grandson.

Coming back to this song because of the shooting at Michigan's Oxford School, as of right now, there are 4 deaths and 7 injured. Rest well guys

I listen to this song after every shooting. So on average about every week. Sad.

I hope America gets their shit together soon... I'm Canadian but it hurts to see this happen so many times.

Hearing the children sing the first part is haunting, incredibly impressive song

„Thoughts and prayers“ for the people who died in Texas. A reminder that things didn‘t change.

Once again relevant, unfortunately. I’m tired of seeing school shootings.

I wish this would've been released 2 days earlier when I had to write an essay about a song of my choice, I looked for hours to find a song with actual meaning, in the end I took some random song, BUT THIS ONE IS AWESOME AND I'M MAD NOW

two different ways to enjoy this song: 1. Take it seriously, listen to the message about guns and school shootings or whatever 2. Hear "thoughts" as "thots"

4 years later and nothings changed 😩 may those who passed, rest in peace, and rest in power

It's been a very long time since i've been impressed with a younger musician! My 13 year old son brought 3 new ones to my attention recently stating "Mom I know you will love them it's all things you tell me!" I liked them all but you I LOVE! I can't even explain how much, the words would not serve justice! My soul needed your music at the exact time I heard it! Listening to Stigmata on my drive as i headed from PA to NC mountains literally following the hawks the whole way was so therapeutic to me! Thank you from the depths of my soul for being you!

Watching the X's pop up is really sad tbh..

Let’s make this song an anthem

after the Ulvade school shooting that took place here in Texas, i was very unaware a song already covered how feel about what’s going on america rn

It hurts cause if the map was updated there would be a lot more x’s and it’s only been a year

This packs such a powerful message to it, and it reminds me of last year at my school. For several months, there was this kid who'd regularly talk about killing people, and I initially didn't think much of it until he began threatening other people and talking about guns. I decided to tell my family about it during Christmas break, and they thought the right thing to do was to contact the police, so we did.. we later found out he had no plans of bringing weapons to school, and I felt like I did the wrong thing, but.. seeing all those X's on the map makes me realize that my school could've been on there as well if I didn't do anything about it.
