Ross	It's a pretty good song. Semi intelligent lyrics and a good sound. Although it is pale in comparison to most of the songs on Good Charlotte's self-titled album, it does show signs of talent. added: 12/03/2003, 11:00 AM

Sage	musics always better when it becomes personal and you can relate, video puts me to tears. no lie. added: 12/28/2003, 12:51 AM

I've had friends go through this stuff and when i saw them play this song in concert it was so emotional because everyone just started hugging people and tears came to everyone's eyes. It totally gives a great message to everyone!

This song saved me and my friends from suicide. I owe my life to GC.

This song leads people to commit suicide because it sucks so much.

added: 02/16/2004, 10:56 AM

turn the radio off

if you needed a band like this to save you from suicide... then you're full of shit cause you werent going to commit suicide in the first place

This is a good song. I like the way in the video they have real survivors and stuff like that...

Personally, I think that Good Charlotte is nothing NEAR the best band around....not even close. But, when I heard this song, I instantly fell in love with it. I dunno, maybe it's the drums (which are pretty sweet), but I definitely like this song.

added: 02/28/2004, 05:18 AM

Rika	This song is a gud example and Good Charlotte wasn't realli a band I liked be4 it.... I dunno why they did this song tho... I heard Benji wrote it and it's about his life. added: 03/06/2004, 03:51 PM

sidefriction

Actually, none of the members of the band write any of their songs. They were all written by a songwriting company. Two brothers wrote them, but none that are in the band.

added: 03/10/2004, 01:45 AM

bmw	two brothers called B. Madden and J. Madden, huh? anyway, i LOVE this song. I listen to it a few times in a row when i get overly stressed, and it helps. added: 03/16/2004, 12:38 PM

I love this song so much. It helped me a lot when my mom passed away last year.

I like this song...the message is something that definately needed to get out..

I'm not a big GC fan cause well they looked punk but that's not how they sang. But this song has a real message. With this song and some friend and family support someone could really be saved......... from themselves

added: 04/22/2004, 07:09 PM

ticky ticky

this is by far the best song on this album and my favorite song ever. it helped me thru a lot when no one was there to comfort me.

added: 04/29/2004, 07:23 PM

Reject41

Okay...Rigor Morbid Is gay. And needs anger counseling. This song is cool. All Good Charlottes songs are sweet. And if youd pay attention to the CD cover, it says "all songs written by B.Madden and J. Madden". So maybe "turn off the radio" needs to go to his bedroom and die or something

added: 05/11/2004, 11:00 PM

turn the radio off

Never bought the cd, and i would never give them my money. maybe reject41 needs to listen to some real punk music, shut the fuck up and stop talking shit

added: 05/16/2004, 05:42 PM

FakeSmile182

this a good song to help others out and maybe even yourself. people shouldn't discrimnate against them just because thats what their friends do or other people that influence them do. theres nothing wrong with them, and yeah they do write their own songs thats just a myth that they don't and thats like saying blink 182 or green day never wrote their own songs. people need to get a life instead of spreading all these gay ass rumors around and discriminating.

added: 05/27/2004, 02:15 PM

I hate Good Charlotte, but I love the song. The message they send out with this song is amazing, and simple. I'm sure this song helped alot of people recover from, or avoid suicide.

added: 06/27/2004, 10:21 PM

MeGottaSecret

This song is really a good song..the video is really sumthing that makes u think...i really hope that if anyone is having a problem like that to get help bc u think ur not leaving anything behind yet ur leaving everything behind...everyone has so much to live for even if u cant see it now..this song has really made me feel like u can make it better for urself..anytime i have a bad day i listen to this song and it makes me feel better and makes me feel better about the day because it probably really wasnt all that bad at all..i definately encourage ppl to listen to it bc it makes me feel bettter and maybe it will make them feel better or think twice about what they plan to do...so idk..im kinda rambling..but this song is absolutely wonderful and im glad its out there...it is one of my all time favorite songs and i think everyone likes it even if its just for the message it portrays..it really reaches out to everyone in any style of life or situations surrounding them..i applaud gc on it

added: 07/01/2004, 04:30 PM

THE Perfect Name

How can you say this song is good? Its shitty and meaningless coming from this band. Look at the lyrics to that other stupid "Day that i Die" song. Yeah...hes talking about dying. But in this song hes talking about holding on......complete, dumbass.

wtf if u pplz dont like gc wtf r u doin here..thats all ur own damn opinion

added: 07/13/2004, 02:38 AM

Chris88

yeah, no kidding guys, i mean you honestly think that these guys don't write their own lyrics? geez, go look in the CD cover it says somethin like all songs writen by B. Madden and J. Madden, and in the first one it says B. Combs and J. Combs, but that was before the changed their name. you can tell the write their own songs too. And I mean WTF are y'all doin' here if half of you hate this band soo much? And looking at their lyrics. I mean, get a life

added: 07/18/2004, 01:28 PM

BeHiNdThEsEeYeS

It's ridiculous that you are all arguing about this song, it's message and whether or not Good Charlotte is a good band. If you don't like them that's your opinion, everyone is entitled to their own, everyone likes their own music or bands it's part of being an individual. As for saying they aren't real punk, what is real punk? Everyone has their own opinions on that too so instead arguing about this and telling Good Charlotte fans that the band sucks and looking like an ass why don't you go look up some of your "real punk" music.

They suck too much to write about this shit. After hearing this song, I've decided I'm going to go drive my bike into oncoming traffic. I hope these poser shits die, I'm sick of their boring shit polluting the radio. This is more proof that America is now a country full of pansy ass baby shits. Grow the fuck up. The reason people bitch about mofos like this, is simply because they just won't go away. That's why, I'll comment on whatever the fuck I want to comment on, atleast when it's this shitty and annoying.

'This song leads people to commit suicide because it sucks so much.' Thank you poopstick, you are good for something after all.

Chris and cinatas04 you horrible idiots, this site was made to express opinions. When you hear a song, youd like to share an opinion. Guess what? Thats what people are doing. So both of you can work on growing a brain and stop whining about people bashing the band. Sadass babies

Happiness...

I don't usually just go to a song to badmouth it (if you don't like it then Why the F#$% are you here, right?) but I agree Chris88, you CAN tell they write they're own songs but, who cares? because they suck ass!

Cratic

I'm not sure if they write their own stuff or not, but just because the albulm cover says they do, doesn't make it true...just look at the monkees for fucks sake...and also led zeppelin, it says that robert plant wrote most of the stuff, but recently in an interview they admitted that jimi page wrote almost everything...as for the song, i think its a sorry excuse to get on the radio... pre-fabricated shit

i just think this is a great song, its one ive written out for my suicidal friends ive also listened to it when ive contemplated suicide, really makes you think twice, especially if youre watchin the video, gotta love the music well i do anyway

its great music but its not convincing enough. i mean come on, a single mtv hit isnt gonna stop someone from comitting suicide.

i love this song...the words make me shiver.. and if ppl feel like commiting suicide it doesnt make them weak! it means that they have a really gd reson to feel that way....you dnt no wat kinda problems ppl cud b goin thru! so dnt go tellin me they are weak bcuz i no wat they feel like.. obviosly u dnt!!

I like how later on in the album they talk about the day that they die....yeah, way to ruin an attempted lesson.

its kid of funny that on there first album the song screamer is about commiting suicide (atleast, thats how i interpreted it) they just can't make up there minds... i love this song though... GC, keep on keepin on!

added: 10/01/2004, 11:47 PM

mirrorsXdontXlie

well this song does kinda hint that people that do commit suicide are weak. the statement we all bleed like u do , we all go throught the same things as you, is a clue not everyone is that fragile. im not saying people who want to kill themselves are weak just the ones that do are. Be strong and hold on!

It's so nice to see that this band helped people not commit suicide. As for the people who say whoever listens to this song should commit suicide, stop kidding around. This is a very serious issue. If you don't like the song then fine, but DO NOT tell people what song to like abd especially don't tell people to commit suicide because the like a certain song. How do you know they areb't closeto suicde already? This is not a lauphing matter! Oh and G/C is awesome!!

have u seen the video? a lot of people died from suicide and suicide is more serious than you think. and what's wrong with wanting to help people?????

Is it still cool to pretend you're emo or has that trend passed yet? Maybe they should buy themselves some girlfriends and stop whining

I love this song. I have the ringtone. lol, no but in all seriousness, this song helped me through a very hard time where I thought I wasn't going to make it. This song made me feel strong enough to fight through it, and I did. That is why I am still standing here today. Sometimes I wish I wasn't but whenever those thoughts cross my mind, I think of this song.

I'm one of those 'Still Here' kids from the video. It helped me through a lot. I still cry whenever I hear it. I sang this to my friend when she told me she was in the hospital for attempted suicide. Great Song...

Absynth

"you dnt no wat kinda problems ppl cud b goin thru!" You mean like the inability to form a coherent sentence? I don't know which is worse - the song, or the yammering reactions of the prepubescent fans who were yanked back from the brink after Mommy had sex with the postman. Clearly, Good Charlotte is interrupting the natural selection process. So quit your mindless testimonials and go snuff it.

I am not a fan of the band but i liek this song not cuz it sounds good or anythign but becouse of the message. the video is awsoem in it's own way and for thos ppl who are trashign this song callign it it's for fags or u should commit suicide if u lie this song get a fucking life and learn not to be assholes

Snakes On A Plane

This song has set the music industry back at least 5 or more years and has accomplished the exact opposite of the "message" it's supposed to covey. It's a shame that songs like this are even allowed to be made.

this is a good song to listen to if your going through a bad time in life. trust me im going through some crap now and this is the only song that has calmed me down sooo far.

No..it will not get better than you know.Were still in war,our economy is completely down,there is povery everywhere,there are kids who get shot or runned down,there are families who suffer from loss,there are teenagers feeling rejected and lonely,there are 50 year old virgins wishing they were never born,prisons are packed,soldiers dying,people everywhere dont give a shit about others....reality is hard not that I dont know that shit already.SO I think suicide would put everybody out of their miseries so fuck Good Charlotte.
