Holy shit dude I'm sorry that happened and I'm glad you are alive!

You're totally awesome, bro.

Davison Carvalho Much respect!

Davison Carvalho Slainte! may you live a long healthy life

all the best for u man!

всё будет хорошо, брат

Sorry to hear. Hang in there, friend. :)

Damn, this made me tear up. I lost my ma when I was 14. She allowed me the freedoms to explore and express myself at an early age so I can certainly understand the sentiments you feel towards your mom. Hang in there. It does get easier.

+Dave Brady I'm honestly touched, sincerely, that you guys cared enough about a stranger's tribulations & pains to share personal anecdotes & general well-wishes. I sincerely hope it gets better, man. It's been about a month now & I still randomly stop whatever at home/work & think, 'oh shit, mom'd get a kick outta this! I ought to text her to tell...tell no one.' I'm sorry you lost yours so young, dude. Fourteen, that's just unfair. If nothing else, we could form the coolest support group ever. Share tales of our favorite mom foods we shall never savour again, debate about whether or not Blake sold out & the general radness of Jawbreaker, HWM, Lawrence Arms, etc. End with a hug, no deities forced on anyone. I'm about 33% kidding. As I tapped this out, it began seeming less ridiculous the further I got. tl;dr version: Thx dudes. Right now, I'll gladly take love & support from all angles. KZfaq can be a vitriolic, dark place...but then you get moments like this. Peace & mercy, friends.

M Haley Bro, that sounds like an extremely rad idea. I know I would be a part of it on a regular basis. A group that gets togethger to talk about any and everything, to play games if anyone is into that sort of thing, to bring instruments and jam together, or letting the more experienced musicians teach the beginners. Getting your mind off the effects and aftermath of losing a close friend or loved one is paramount to keeping one's sanity. It is essential. It does take a fair amount of time to properly heal, although it is never healed 100%. Teaching others how to cope and live with traumatic events. Maybe even taking group trips would be a good bonding experience. Man, the more I think about it, the more fun it sounds like. I'm so glad I can use my own experience to possibly help others throughout the learning to cope process. Thank you for YOUR kind words. And you are absolutely correct, good sir. KZfaq, and every other social media, can be an extremely harsh, unforgiving, and even dangerous place. Not to mention all the negative things you hear and all the negative people. There are tons of assholes all around us. It's nice to see that there are good people out there. But for real, keep your head up, and keep those good memories going. One day, the sadness from thinking about her will turn into smiles when you think about her. Keep in touch, bro, and if you ever have any questions or just want/need someone to talk to that's been there, I am available to you, 24/7. Look me up and friend request me on Facebook if you want to. My number, if you ever want to talk or text, is (217)-820-1159. Much love, brother. :)

+Dave Brady +Spudski Ok, dudes...I just got your reply notification, Dave. I'm feeling this. I hate organized grief counselling, 12-step shit, all that. I'm fine with it existing; if it works for a body, more power to him. Just not my thing. When I posted my first comment, I regretted it immediately. I rarely post on YT, period. I was WAY up in my feelings when I posted it. I thought 'ok, just delete it ya dummy.' But then +Spudski replied, and a day later, you did too, +Dave Brady. It kinda fucked me up, y'know? I fully expected stuff more like 'aw, cool story bro. I'm banging ur ded ma w/my giant peen0r rite now LULZ!' But no...two people who don't know me from Adam--all three of us initially only having a shared love for HWM--spoke out to me. You guys dunno what it meant to think, 'man, these guys empathize AND know this pain! How can it be? Serendipity? Random happenstance? I don't care. I'm ready to be more...er, "e-extroverted?" I am gonna go against my better judgment again, as with the 1st post, and push for this. Does YT even have personal messaging anymore? If I can't get that sussed out (I'm lame, forgive me), I'm just gonna post my twitter and/or MS handle (same for both). Bear with me, dudes. I feel like this is not only workable, but also potentially awesome. -Love, Peace, & Dave Pirner's hair grease :-)

Why did I read the beginning of this comment in the tune of perfect world by simple plan 😂😂😂

Same reaction, but the combo of the lyrics and the video never fail to make me cry!

I've just found this song like 2 yrs ago, and every time I watch the video, I'm too busy crying to pay attention to the lyrics.

​@@smashtactics1I completely forget the lyrics when I watch the video.

ME TOO! they are good at plucking heart-strings as well as guitar/bass strings!

right?

Yeah, watched it again after many years and I must have got something in both eyes cause I'm tearing up a bit.

A punch like that right in the feelings...

The fact this comment hasn't had one like in 7 years makes my heart hurt. May peace and honour be with you friend.

Seriously... Why this comment? Found em through an old BMX magazine. They have never let me down, I recommend to everyone that enjoys this drive. HWM breathes life into my soul when I'm all but dried up and defeated. GAINESVILLE = HOT WATER MUSIC!! "Gainesville didn't exist to me before HWM so y'all put your city on my map!!!

they are great and great people. i saw them in my town and me and my friend just stood there chatting forever and they remembered my friend from 2 years back. all around real people who care about their fans.

It's actually a legitimate genre :) it's called Folk Punk :D you should listen to Frank Turner, or Tim McIlrath's solo stuff, if you like HWM

i saw them in austin opening for a wilhelm scream.

Hey man! just wanted to say thanks for mentioning Red City Radio just checked them out and they are pretty good so in return id like to reccommend Fire Whiskey. They are a santa cruz native band that arent around anymore but they are solid. You can find them on spotify. cd is called hold fast. they have a few songs on youtube. rolling stoned and bar fly. check em out!

+Gable Mullen Red City Radio is awesome man! This coming a year later haha but they are one of my favorites! So raw.

Welcome to the party. You should also check out Leatherface; they're HWM's big brother band.

+KnifeParty If you like this, you may like Chuck Ragans solo stuff. Check it out!

The Gaslight Anthem's "Handwritten" is another example (with an honorable mention to the Menzinger's "After the Party"). Man do I love Chuck Ragan and Brian Fallon.

Tears roll down my face every time I watch Rise Against's vid for (They Said) Help Is On The Way (but it never came) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK6ZpKqi1K-reX0.html. It came out after Hurricane Katrina wiped out Louisiana and Bush never sent in FEMA until the media started cutting him up for it.

Тоже самое

+Ying Chee hey friend how come? being tired it's a part of being alive! Keep at it I can promise on my children's life it's worth it. Never give up my friend! I can't possibly know what's going on with you but trust me keep fighting and it will pay off!

I hope you’re still here with us but i also understand if you’re not. I get it. Your comment hits home, I’m tired too.

It's been a while but I hope I get an answer, how are you?

Hope you're doing alright man.

Same

LOVE your screenname:)

Caroline Carpenter Thanks! You a FT fan?

Great tune...and Plain Sailing Weather...bet you can fuck up every god damn thing...ha ha!

John Smith Hahaha I sure can!

Jason Black rocks my world!

***** And the drum fill that goes perfectly along with it. Such a good song.

@@rastamouse7861 BASS GOD

Check out the song "Trademark" for the sexiest bass line ever.

Chuck Ragan is my favorite artist, I love his music. Most of the time when I try finding the lyrics to his songs they seem incorrect. Thanks for saving me the search. Have a great life : )

JON COLLINS check our tunes out if possible

chuck ragan

they have been around for a long time---one of my favs

completely agree

Gave a thumb but cant knock foo's
