Not very often will u find a singer that sounds the same live as they do on the edited tracks true talent 👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

You can just feel the raw emotion through his facial expressions. It’s rare these days to see an artists who really feels what they’re singing

This song needs to be publicized much more. A very raw and honest song about living with mental illness and needing help.

I'm a retired combat medic with 2 tours in Iraq and 6 tours in the nuthouse. This song has definitely saved my life.

Sometimes I wonder how he can perform this song without crying...

This version is so damn powerful. Josh sounds amazing, + that foot tambourine is a real kicker!

I'm almost 40 and this song makes me bawl and cry like a 2yr old. As a multiple time survivor of myself this song is beautiful to me because I understand every heartfelt and bleeding heart word.

His smile when hes playing that piano mini solo tho..... I felt that

What hauntingly beautiful lyrics. His voice conveys every single word as the truth which is very rare in an artist these days. We need more musicians like this. Best song I've heard in years. Well done BF x

Never heard someone sound so close to their album since chester

The pain is real. We will all be ok. You got this everyone

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!!

Only time he smiles throughout the entire song is when he gets lost in his instrument... that's how powerful music is!

Dang man this one really has had me thinking for the past few days. Best song I've heard in years.

He's literally speaking what's in my heart I haven't been able to put into words for 36 long years. I cried like a baby.

I cant stop playing this song. I dont know why it resonates so strong in me. But atleast i know I'm not alone. Love this version.

The main chorus is what we can't understand when we are blind with depression. Thankyou for bringing light in a dark world lyrical sound for the silent and love to the unloved.

F--k me I've seen some rock legends over the years but these boys are something different...never seen such raw emotion and intensity. Take a bow... I hope you achieve the acclaim your talent deserves.

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 ❤

I love the regular version, but I feel like the acoustic is so much more powerful. Great job guys

This song gives me chills every time I listen to it because I can relate on a personal level! Thank u so much for making this song!!

I love how the drums sound like a single heartbeat after the line "I tried it once again and I think I might blackout".

for every person who struggles with suicide and is reading this while listening ... I'm so happy you made it ♡ sweet Angel never give up the world needs you

When the singer smiles that little grin for 2 seconds as his piano playing speeds up...... gets me in the uterus😊

thank you Badflower for writing this song. When I was 13 I clinically died for 48 seconds from an overdose and I used to cut my arms and wrists up alot. I met my husband 2 years later in high school. We are married with children now. He saved my life. He loved me when I couldn't love myself. I listen to this song everyday because I've been there. This song speaks to me.

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..

I wasn't aware of the existence of the acoustic version. When I found it, I listened to it more than I would like to admit! NEVER gets old ❤

This version is so much more powerful than the normal video!!! Love the emotions,so powerful, and raw!!!

I know someone who this song means the world to. This acoustic may be the reason she stays alive. That’s how much this means to her. 🖤

Release the new album already. This band is fixing to be the next big thing.

“And I should’ve told my mom, ‘mom I love you’…like a good son. So powerful.

I know it's cliché but this song saved me in my darkest times and stopped me from doing things to myself that there's no coming back from. Thank you. 🖤 To anyone out there thinking about hurting themselves..please don't. It's such a finite solution to things that will pass. It does get better, I promise.

This song destroyed me, in kinda good way.

the lyrics hit close to home but hid voice is amazing. this band deserves recognition

It's so RARE to hear an acoustic sound EXACTLY like the enhanced and tinkered with version!!

as someone that has suffered most of my life with severe anxiety and depression this song touches me so deeply and has gotten me through many dark times. thank you for putting this out there for the world!

Just when I thought I couldn't love this song anymore... ❤

2:59 omg he plays that piano soooooooooo good😮

This is the only song that gives me any comfort when I am down and out.

I love the fact that he seems so happy just playing the piano. Such a beautiful version

The way his facial expressions are while singing literally made me cry. You know he felt this song and used his soul. Amazing artwork

I tried it once before but I didn't get too far I felt a lot of pain but it didn't stop my heart And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up I tried it once before and I think I might a messed up I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough But maybe I'm alive because I didn't really wanna die But nothing very special ever happens in my life Take the blade away from me I am a freak, I am afraid that All the blood escaping me won't end the pain And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me I died to be the white ghost Of the man that I was meant to be I tried it like before and this time I made a deep cut I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough And I should a told my mother 'mom, I love you' like a good son But this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one Take the blade away from me I am a freak, I am afraid that All the blood escaping me won't end the pain And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me I died to be the white ghost Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah I tried it once again and I think I might black out I should a left a letter but I had nothing to write about My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up The cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked Take the blade away from me I am a freak, I am afraid that All the blood escaping me won't end the pain And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me I died to be the white ghost Of the man that I was meant to be I tried it once again and I think I went too far The man that I was meant to be I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart The man that I was meant to be I couldn't tell my mother that I love her, I'm a bad son This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one

Just saw these guys live last night and they absolutely killed it. His voice sounds exactly the same live and the instrumentals are insane. If you get the chance to see them live, take it!!

Music like this helps people get through some major problems. Great lyricism

Sad song but so hauntingly beautiful. I could listen to this on repeat for hours.

This talent is unmatched. So raw and exposed. Stunning.

I've cried so much with this playing in the background...I'm not suicidal anymore but I was for a few yrs. According to doctors I should be dead, I guess my body is strong as fuck idk but this song captures perfectly what it feels like to be suicidal. Probably the best song out there on the subject. To everyonethinking about doing it...I respect your choices but know that for most survivors or those who don't attempt it gets better and this is a true fact, plus it is proven that even a homeless guy leaves behind at least 7 ppl behind grieving. Your death will bring even more pain, I know the pain is overwhelming but be strong. Please.

thank you for writing this.

Ahhhhhhh the way he piano In this seriously made my heart skip a beat . This whole thing is just beautiful 🙌

Can we just appreciate the technical piano playing and vocals at the same time?

This is one of the most haunting and painful songs I’ve ever heard in my 29 years of life. Thank you for baring your soul to us. “The cutting part was easy, but regretting it is so fucked” - it’s the truth. All my love, respect, & admiration goes out to you guys 🙏

" This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one "-- love it

He sounds exactly like he does in the video

in my teens i used to self harm when i felt overwhelmed, 5 years clean and recently i had been struggling again but then i found this band and this song in particular so now when im overwhelmed or upset i listen to this song and take a few breaths. the line "the cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked" particularly speaks to me because it reminds me that while it may help in the moment ill be so ashamed and disappointed after the fact. so i owe this song a lot.

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.

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.

This song gets me by everyday, ty guys I appreciate you!

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

I don’t usually share but I’m just a random person posting a random comment. This song stopped me from ending my life. I listen to it anytime I can’t take things and I think about my mom and how much she loves me. I love this band.

I cried my eyes out when I heard this song.

Best version yet.. Love the piano

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

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

This saved more lives then they’ll probably ever realize, but truly thankful they have ☺️🖤

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

This song destroys me every time I listen to it, but I keep coming back to it because it's so perfect.

The voice in combination with the poetry *chefs kiss*

This song will forever be my soul saver. Remember fondly the nights in which I lay restless, tear stained with an excruciating pound behind the darkness of eyelid. Prayers to never wake, only to offer a silence to the defeaning voices that were my own thoughts. Am so deeply proud of myself for everything I have conquered these last three years. 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.

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

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.

That piano solo... so beautiful. His voice is very raw and striking. The entire band just stuns me, there is so much talent here.

This song makes me cry every time, never knew an artist could write something so powerful and personal that connected with so many members of its audience

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

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

I played this song several times everyday when I first heard it. I still come back to it several times a week. It will probably never stop resonating in my head everyday. This is the best song to describe the way that I truly and deeply feel. Thank you so much Badflower for giving me this opportunity to connect with such a song.

Phenomenal acoustic version. Badflower is one of the few good rock bands coming up. Props to the piano skills and backup singer compliments the lead singer so well. Song is sang with pain and energy.

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 ! 🙈

Tears will be shed. This song FINALLY has an acoustic. Thank u 😭😭 it's beautiful.

This song saved my life. I couldn't feel anything but sadness and emptiness...... and this song 💜

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!!!!

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

The edited version is awesome but this, with the piano and the Same vocal quality... Incredible.

I cant tell you how much I relate to this song it's beautifully tragic and as sad as it is for me to know you went thru that pain it helps to relate. Thank you!!! You're amazing thank you for sharing I know it had to be hard. Much love n respect

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

OMG this is so good! Badflower is amazing! Yes, they are this amazing live.

“This life is overwhelming and I’m ready for the next one.” Same same same. Idk what to do with myself anymore.

This song is fucking ace, and this acoustic version takes the feeling to a new level...gives me chills man...kudos to you :-)

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

It's not often I find a song that I connect with on such a deep level as I do with this song. It's helped me through some rough times and will continue to for years to come.

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!! ❤️♥️❤️♥️

If you’re looking for a sign not to kill yourself, this is it. You may have messed up your life. You may have completely pulled the pin out of the grenade, and laid on it with your own choices. But I can tell you... I can PROMISE you... with every ounce of my being- your life is not over. You are not a waste. You still have meaning and purpose. Your life can still make such an enormous difference. It may make an enormous difference just for your own family.... or more families than you can count.

He truly has a beautiful voice, the whole band is amazing. I listened to this song on repeat for days. I love them ❤

I love that there are still musicians that sound the same live and can actually play an instrument or two even while singing, especially someone with his talent. The lyrics are too real in a good way. And the fact that I can hear every instrument and not one overruling the other is amazing. Well done Edit:also the smile on his face during the little piano solo makes me so happy, just seeing a musician having a good time even during such a dark song

I'm a 62-year-old musician, and I've been playing and have seen all of the great bands from the 60s to today and I know raw talent when I hear it, and this is it. Bands like this let me know this generation is keeping the music alive.

You get me. Thankyou for this . And thank you for sharing your truth with this world

You see the pain and deepness of this song in his face as he is performing. Been here and work daily to ensure my head is in a good space.

Saw them live here in Little Rock a few days ago. I can assure you it sounds even better in person!!! Absolutely amazing performance. You can see the passion these guys have.

I’m in awe. I love this so much more than the original. Love their sound.

AMAZING!!!!!!! I absolutely love this song and both of the videos i have seen. Great band. For some reason i sit with headphones on highest volume and watch it over and over. I never feel good enough. Not for anyone or anything.

I've probably watched this video/listened to this song 200 times or more over the last couple years, and it never loses its power.
