Falling in Reverse did this song it's own justice, soo powerful

@@iiJaws autotuned to shit though, unfortunately.

@@strider5119 But Jacoby Shaddix saw it differently, he also thinks the version is great, watch the video with Ronnie and Jacoby

I'm glad you're still here..... Metallica and Slayer were there for me.

Tool, beartooth, and 5fdp for me. Almost drank myself to death on purpose... depression and addiction are hell. Glad we're all still here. Music saved us

From Micro: @Atlas_UK Yeah, it's interesting how we can re-discover a music years later as it just resonates differently with our heart. I like to think that we somehow "meet" the right music at significant times - and when the timing is appropriate there is a real magic happening. The experience you have with Papa Roach, of now feeling like it's somehow like holding a mirror to you, is one that I'm sure many of us can relate to here. And somehow there may be comfort to find in at least knowing that we are not alone in our struggles, even when it feels like we're prisoners of our own mind and that no one can see it. For what it's worth from a stranger like me, I see you, I hear you right now, and I understand through my own struggles suicidal ideation the heaviness of the burdens you've been carrying. I started to struggle with suicidal thoughts when I was a kid, but to me it is something that comes and go usually. When it's gone though it's not really away. It's simply more muted. It feels like having this dark shadow following you everywhere you go and like you just can't get rid of it. I hate that it manifests as this inner voice that invites me to give up on everything - to give up on hope - whether I am having a good or a bad time. It doesn't discriminate between what's good or not. It's just constantly and continuously there, while it doesn't feel like you can just push it away or ignore it either. It's like being stuck in the same room with someone trying to influence you to move towards a different direction while you know it is no good. It takes so much energy to compose with it daily, to keep finding your way through this life while there's a song on repeat inside of your mind telling you to end it all. Nine years of struggling with this must have been such a hard and intense battle for you. I can't begin to imagine the amount of tears and dark days you had to go through. It is so hard to feel like your own mind is a trap you're stuck in, and that what's inside of it keeps bringing you down more and more. It's even more difficult that it'shard to express it, to actually put words on it and find someone that would be able to hear you out. Suicidal ideation is a lonely burden to carry, and for all these reasons I'm so thankful you chose to speak about it today, because you certainly don't deserve to stay alone with it. Not years ago, not today, not ever. If there is one certainty in the midst of this, it is that you are never wrong for opening up, for talking about it, for reaching out or even asking for help. There are burdens that need to be spoken so they can appear less intimidating, eventually less heavy. And there are people out there willing to carry the burdens with us - who understand what it's like, who get it because they've been there too, and who can bring inspiration as they speak from the other side of this obstacle - from where breathing feels much lighter and is not in contradiction with being alive. To these thoughts that try to take the best of you, I want to say to them that you matter very much, and you didn't come so far to let them have the last word. That you know and understand them, that you see through them and have so much strength within than they could ever imagine. And I want to say to you that you belong in this world, even during moments when you feel like you don't. You will get through this, friend. And through it, you can be sure that you have allies here willing to walk alongside you. You're not alone. Sending much hugs and thoughts your way. -Micro

​@@HeartSupport You should check out falling in reverses cover of this song it hits the heart in a mature way that feels more impactive.

@@HeartSupport Thank you for the kind message Micro, The battle continues, but I know the consequences would result in not my own demise, but another's too, my mother's heart would give out for sure given her poor health, and it would take her too, taking my own life is one thing but my moms too, I couldn't forgive myself for that, So I fight on.

what an AMAZING version by Falling in Reverse Ronnie is a pure Genius

i personally am not a fan of Falling in Reverse but I have to give it to them... the cover is BEAUTIFUL! The emotion in the cover really helps someone understand the lyrics PAPA Roach was trying to convey with this song. Absolutely amazing cover.

Thank you for staying. Praying for you man. I miss my brother deeply. Same situation. Ive never been the same since. Much love

Wow. What an incredible story. It just proves that when people actually talk to each other about issues such as this, that wonderful things can happen. I've heard a few stories down the years of people taking their lives completely unexpectedly, people with lovely families amid affluent surroundings...no apparent logic. Whatever we're going through, we just need to TALK to someone and share our innermost feelings of fear, loneliness or paranoia. Please, just TALK.

holy shit

I'm new here so I browsed for any FIR songs but couldnt find one😢 I mean atleast the LR one that was actually commissioned by PR for their anniversary.

Absolutely! That's a must-listen too track.

Gotta say i just really dont enjoy falling in reverse's take on it. I feel like it made the song way more, idk emo doesnt seem like the right word for it, but all the energy is gone and thats what makes the song great to me. I can understand why people like it but i cant listen to the same exact lyrics and not just hear papa roach behind it

@@Mandonburphy Fair thought there

​@@Mandonburphy the song at the time was made for one of jacoby's friends who lost his mother and the song prevented him from taking his life.

It’s amazing! With the original I generally get caught up in how catchy the song is and when I do listen to the lyrics they aren’t sung in a super emotional way more of a pissed off way so I’m like damn but I don’t get super emotional whereas the falling in reverse version made me tear up and made me super emotional the first time I heard it

When I first heard it as a teen, I just rocked out to it because of the rhythm and energy. As I've gotten older, and I've taken down many of my emotional walls, this song hits in a completely different way. I have to hold tears back everytime I listen to this song

My counselor says "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" I have had many low points in my life, I would be ready to end my life, and every time I backed out at the last minute in fear of dying and fear of it being painful. My most recent one, was only 2 years ago. I grabbed my gun, I knew exactly how I was going to hold it, pin it up to the wall with my weight as to not give it any room to flinch when I pulled the trigger. I knew exactly where I was going to shoot in order to make it quick and painless. When I went to chamber a round, my gun was empty. As it turned out, my wife had noticed my mental health declining for months, and she grew worried, and a week before she had hidden my loaded magazine. Her and I may be divorcing, we may have had some serious problems, and she may have said things to me out of anger that were so aweful that I don't care to repeat it. But, despite everything, she cared enough to remove a hazard from my path, and she actually saved my life because of it. She walked in on me when I was getting ready to do it, and I yelled at her asking where my ammo was, she simply told me she hid it last week. To this day, I don't think she fully comprehends that she saved my life

I don't know you, but it makes me truly happy to read that you're still here. And I agree, I love her music reaction/break down videos because her energy while listening to it is intoxicating, and then when she breaks down the lyrics to give her thoughts on what it means is so very entertaining and helpful. I listen to all genres of music, but rock and metal are my go to. People tend to think those of us who listen to metal and what not are angry and violent individuals, when in reality, we are actually pretty upbeat people. I think because since we listen to extremely energetic songs that are able to put into words many of our thoughts, feelings and emotions that otherwise we wouldn't be able to express ourselves, it's a form of letting go those bottled up emotions

As I'm preparing to comment on your comment, I realize you made this comment a month ago, so I just want to start by saying, I hope you're still with us. I have these thoughts daily. Sometimes just a quick thought, other times it's a constant presence for days. Two things help me not act on those impulses. 1: my counselor has said to me " suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem". I stated this as a response in someone else's comment as well. 2: I try and focus on the one thing in this world that is more important to me then anything, even more important than my life and my darkness. My daughter. She is the one thing in this world that gives me the strength to tolerate my depression and suicidal thoughts

@@reaper4earthcod801 Still alive and going strong thanks for kind words

From toastaintbad: @damunchman3120 Hi @HeartSupport_Fans, I recommend to talk with someone to express your emotion to others like a mental health professional. That must have been traumatic for you after that car accident. I also will be scared and traumatized too. I'm here to support you and you can always talked to me on HeartSupport platform. I loved to help others too.

From Micro: @damunchman3120 Oh my friend. I'm really sorry that you have experienced such a tragic accident. I can only imagine how traumatic and life-changing this event has been for you and in your life. Not only the brutality of the accident itself and being confronted to the fragility of your own life, of the life of others. But then to also have to re-learn to live in a complete different way. It's hard to talk about those things, especially when the grief you've been carrying since then keeps weighing heavy on you. Words can be a relief but they are hard to use, especially when you need to find the right person to express them to. For what it's worth, I'm so very proud of you for your willingness to talk about it and share this part of your story with someone. I carry myself taumas I'm still not ready to talk about even though I know I should. There's something about knowing and feeling when the time is right for you, and I hope you don't carry any regret with you regarding the fact that it's been 24 years already. If this had to be your own timeline before getting to the point of feeling like you want to talk about it with someone seriously, then so be it. You have, without a doubt, done your best to survive, cope, navigate through all the deep emotions and hurt that this accident has created in your life - and you can be proud of yourself for not letting it take the best of you. If you would like to share more, please know you are welcome to do so here too. It's different of course and not "live" with someone, but heartsupport is a safe community with people who care about one another. We try to make these spaces as safe as possible especially for everyone to have the possibility to share their story just as they need. You are safe and you belong. Always. :heart:

From Micro: @pascaldesnoeck8671 The frustration you've been feeling and what you describe makes so much sense. Keep ontrying, my friend. You deserve to feel supported after this traumatic accident. www.loom.com/share/ab4ec6d7d159426d9822747566d92721

From Lisalovesfeathers: @musickf Friend I cannot imagine the moment this happened to you, the pain of losing a brother would be hard enough, the shock of losing him overnight unexpectedly is horrifying and the fear of knowing how it happened and the guilt of feeling it was your fault completely explains why you feel so eaten up. I am so incredibly sorry for loss of your brother; I have a brother myself and cannot imagine losing him. I am also desperately sorry for the whole situation that you found yourself in, what a tragic thing to happen to both of you, I say that because its sounds like both of your lives seemed to have ended that day which of course was not meant to be. When someone we love passes, we always can find a reason to feel guilt, it appears to be inbuilt, we all have this ability to find a reason to punish ourselves for so many different things, a couple of them being **Regret Over Past Actions**: People might feel guilty about things they did or didn't do when the person was alive. This can include unresolved conflicts, unfulfilled promises, or missed opportunities to express love and appreciation. **Perceived Responsibility**: Individuals may feel they could have prevented the death or loss, even if this belief is irrational. They might replay events in their mind, thinking of what they could have done differently. As uncommon as the situation behind your brothers passing is, the reaction and grief you are feeling is understandable and perfectly normal however it is not something you should have to continue to be “eaten away” by for years to come, you don’t deserve that because you have not done anything wrong, and I am beyond certain that your brother would not want that either. As hard as it is, what happened albeit because of drugs, what happened was a tragic accident that could have happened at any time. You may have been there, you may have acquired the drugs, but you did not make anyone take them, that friend was only one person’s choice that night. Having said that, that does not take away the pain of loss, that desperate feeling of wanting so badly to see them one last time, grief counselling can help though, it doesn’t stop you grieving but it can help you to manage it so you can continue to live and hopefully not feel guilty doing so. I don’t know what your thoughts are, I am not a religious person but I do like to think that our past loved ones are still nearby and that your brother is desperately trying to let you know that you can let go of that guilt and that he loves you and knows that none of this was because of you and that he wants you to move forward and make the most of the life you have left, live for both of you. I am thankful the music and video brought you to heartsupport and I hope it continues to be helpful and at least some of my words may have helped. I wish you well friend. Much Love Lisa. X

From Micro: @musickf For so long, you've been living for others, trying to meet their expectations and fit into their molds. It's exhausting to feel like you were not living your own life, and to reach a breaking point later on. There's only so much we can take and only so much we can hide until the mask falls down. The fact that you’re working on putting your intrusive thoughts into a song is so amazing. Music can be such a powerful way to express emotions and experiences that are hard to put into words. By sharing your pain through your music, you might help others who are struggling to understand or cope with their own thoughts, just like someone reading your comment here might feel inspired by your own story. It’s a beautiful way to turn your pain into something that could potentially help someone else feel less alone. Your vulnerability is a strength *and* an asset for healing. You've realized that your own needs and desires matter, and that is such a beautiful place to be in. t’s okay to acknowledge the pain and the daily struggle. Tour decision to keep going and to transform your pain into something meaningful is going to help you move mountains in your life, my friend. Your voice deserves to be heard, could it be through words or music. You matter. You always did, you always will. Thank you for being here today and sharing these inspiring words with us. :heart:

From toastaintbad: @strikethatreverseit9108 Hi @HeartSupport_Fans, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. You did the best you can to support her. Your friend seemed like a wonderful person to help others struggling with mental health issues. It's super important for others to take care their mental health before others. Work can overtake our lifestyle that makes us stressed out.

From Micro: @strikethatreverseit9108 My heart goes out to you, friend. It's so hard to lose someone you love to suicide. You can't be prepared for it, for the shock it creates and the brutal reality if forces you to face. Sometimes we think that people around us have it all together and are doing okay, while internally they feel like burning, the feel lost, as if life becomes absolutely excruciating and nothing else. It's hard when you are the person who stays and feel the powerlessness it creates in you. You ask yourself if things could have been different, maybe prevented, you wonder if there are signs you didn't see - it's pure torture to the soul. Then thinking of all the opportunities lost, the time that isn't going to be spent with them anymore, the family they leaft behind them. It's devastating. I'm so sorry you've been knowing such loss and grief, my friend. In the midst of it, if you feel any sense of guilt, then I truly hope you can anchor yourself in the truth that it wasn't anyone's fault. I have been myself on the two sides of this situation, and suicidal thoughts usually leads one to not see anything or anyone beyond their pain. We can know rationally that we are loved and have support in our life, but the very act of reaching out feels overwhelming, if not shameful. There is no doubt that you were a good friend to them and offered them the possibility to build good memories in their life. That you were a caring presence and they knew it deep inside. Sending so much hugs your way. :heart:

From Micro: @quintonwalls6174 I can't even begin to imagine the pain you're going through. Losing your brother to suicide, and having to witness it firsthand, simply goes beyond words. It is completely understandable that, even now, there are sensations that come back to you from that day and would make you feel like you're still there. This very moment has shifted your entire world. The flashbacks, the triggers, the constant state of being on edge, like your mind and body are stuck in that horrific moment, unable to move forward... it's like being trapped in a living nightmare that you can’t wake up from, a scene that’s burned into your memory. The world moves on, but for you, it feels like time has stopped at that moment. It is so hard to carry this weight with you everyday, and I'm so very thankful that you've opened up about it here. Even if it's just about connecting with one another here, even just for the possibility of letting you know that someone out there hears your pain and is sitting right next to you in this virtual space. For there is, truly, no right or wrong way to process the reality of what happened. You are seen and your pain is felt. You are not alone my friend, and it's absolutely understandable to feel the way you do. Sending so many hugs your way. :heart:

Seconded. Even Jacoby said it's better, that Ronnie owns it now!

Absolutely 💯

​​@@ekharttoll Well he is not going to say it's shit to the face of a dude that gave him an homage yet nothing comes close to the original so for your next trip to Walmart check if they have something called taste and ears.

@@peacefuldecadence328 I'm sure you'd know better being their loyal customer, hence the recommendation I guess. Sadly, my nearest Walmart is good few thousand kms away, so I'll have to trust your word on their stock

@@ekharttollit’s not even close to being as good as the original.
