i want to give this comment section a big hug

This has become the national anthem of all the *'villains' who never asked to be*

I'm leaving this comment here, so everytime someone likes it, I will remember to listen, sing, play this masterpiece again. It talks directly to many people, describes their lives.

I'm 5 years clean as of yestrerday, it's fucking wild. Especially when I still get That Urge to do what I once did. I worked hard and I'm better now, but the thought is still there. I hope I never give in.

"I've been cold, I've been merciless But the blood on my hands scares me to death" Damn that's deep

Every once in a while I come across a song that speaks to me directly. This is one of them.

I’LL BE GOOD LYRICS [Verse 1] I thought I saw the devil this morning Looking in the mirror Drop of rum on my tongue with a warning To help me see myself clearer [Pre-Chorus] I never meant to start a fire I never meant to make you bleed I'll be a better man today [Chorus] I'll be good, I'll be good And I'll love the world like I should I'll be good, I'll be good For all of the times that I never could [Verse 2] My past has tasted bitter for years now so I wield an iron fist Grace is just weakness, or so I've been told I've been cold, I've been merciless [Pre-Chorus] But the blood on my hands scares me to death Maybe I'm waking up today [Chorus] I'll be good, I'll be good And I'll love the world like I should I'll be good, I'll be good (I'll be good, I'll be good) [Bridge] For all of the light that I shut out For all of the innocent things that I doubt For all of the bruises I've caused and the tears For all of the things that I've done All these years, no, yeah For all of the sparks that I stomped out For all of the perfect things that I doubt [Chorus] I'll be good, I'll be good And I'll love the world like I should yeah I'll be good, I'll be good For all of the times I never could For all of the times I never could

15 years ago, I found myself broken, suicidal, strung out, unemployed, and living in an abandoned house. I quite literally found the end of myself. I cried out to Jesus and in a single, radical moment, I was absolutely transformed FOREVER. This song reminds me of that once broken man that I was from drugs and alcohol but the fact that grace changes EVERYTHING. I'm nobody from nowhere with the same story as a billion other people. Thank you, Jesus, you found me. Today, I'm drug and alcohol free, no depression, no suicidal thoughts, no more medication or therapy, two master's degrees, and a beautiful wife and two kids. I don't know about "I'll be good," as I put all my faith and trust in the only one who could ever truly be called "good" -- JESUS. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox. This song just really hits for me. Bless you all.

My girlfriend had broken up with me and this was the first song I heard after it happened and I realized that I was a terrible boyfriend and that she should have left a long time ago, so now I'm working on being a better person

One Whole Year Clean Today From Heroin I'll be good. for all the times i never could. I had to loose myself completely to find myself.

I just wanna hug everyone who reads this ngl🥺... I’m depressed af💔

Is this just me that can’t hear this without thinking about Draco Malfoy edits

Underrated.

I want others to see how amazing Jaymes Young is but at the same time I want him to be my little secret. ;A;

Don´t worry, we're all human, we all make mistakes. You are not your past, you've grown so much and I want you to know that I'm very proud of the person you've become. Never doubt your worthiness because you are worthy of love, you deserve all the best. Please stay strong, it'll all be ok.

"I never meant to start a fire, i never meant to make you bleed", The revelation that he is wiping the blood from his own nose and not somebody elses shows we need to be good to ourselves and not just others. Take time to listen to your inner voice, no matter how quiet. It will never lie and always tell you why you are feeling what you do, It is our responsibility to act positively to improve the inner self's happiness and safety. We can sometimes be self destructive, when things are going well, to fit in or even to spite others we may put ourselves in comprimising situations that we later have to discuss with ourselves. May you open the door to communicate with yourself and hear what it means, try to permit yourself to feel things and hold back judgement of 'what SHOULD be' and work with 'what is'.

someone will find this comment one day until then, and even after, i love you stay strong

This song means so much to me. I seriously didnt know how much a song could affect me until I found this song. Thanks Jaymes.

This song is perfect for Zuko from Avatar

This song was my company on my dark years. It was posted on my 14th birthday. Here i turned 20 last night and i healed ❤ so for all my fellas out there that are feeling helpless. You're gonna make it ❤ i love you!

2020 Despite COVID-19 Is someone still listening to this song?. Keep Safe everyone

wow that woman is so beautiful, the freckles on her face are so pretty

This song is dedicated to those people who are in need of a second chance in life

It's 2021 and I'm still playing this song. It's never too late to be good.

Since the day I discovered Jaymes Young's music, it has help me to get through some rough stuff.. I'm not anywhere near to complain' about my life because there's a lot of other people who are going through inexplicable things but still; I thank God for giving me the chance to live another day and ofc I also thank him for giving me such a good taste in music.

Dear Me, I'm sorry I didn't protect you. I'm sorry you went through that. I'm sorry I made you face it alone. I'm sorry that I made it your burden and didn't let you reach out. You deserved so much better. I deserve better.

I’m such a bad person. I think I’m always right and am such a annoying bad friend. It sucks it really does. I try so hard but I just end up disappointing everyone. Why can’t I just be good

If this guy actually means what he sings about, may the lord protect him.

I cry every time I listen to this song tbh because it makes me think about all the things that I have done wrong over my life

1 month ago I almost killed myself... Stupidly I might add. I spent a few days in a psych ward for people who aren't right. After I got released this was the first Jaymes Young song I heard... So now I have these lyrics tatooed on me. Between the army, my divorce, and my kids hating me I just got tired, but this time... I'll be good.

For years i was a bad man. A liar, a cheat, a bastard, an asshole. I was the villain of my own story, and countless others in the past. I got clean from the dope and tbe booze 17 years ago and have been trying my hardest to be a better man than i was yesterday's... this song... this song... is a monumental testemant to then and now... Ill be good... for all of the times i never could....

This song is too good for a person like me. I wish I could say,"I'll be good" but when your eyes is open to truth, even the devil looks like an angel.

This song makes me feel so vulnerable and alive at the same time

You can feel the pain and self-loathing in his voice it's painful and beautiful at the same time

let me just say this this song, is hands down a fucking masterpiece.

I have no words to describe this song. I cannot describe the feeling it unlocks for me. Literal chills every single time I listen to it. I’m currently in the phase of my life where I think I realized there’s something wrong with the way I’m living. I spend my days in negativity and suicidal thoughts. They started as jokes. But they aren’t. I would never have the guts to actually do it because I’m such a fucking sucker to anyone. I spend my days trying to please everyone else, when I should be happy with myself first. How can I help anyone if I can’t even help myself? I know my faults, i know there are many more, but I know. But they effect me. And I spend almost every conversation I have and action I take into consideration of what type of person I am. What type of person I want to be. I don’t want to care about everyone else’s thoughts on me. I don’t want to judge people so often. I don’t want to think about death so often. I don’t want to get headaches from over thinking so much. I don’t want to spend every second of my life contemplating and calculating my actions. I want to be happy. I want to be positive. Humble, compassionate, confident, agreeable, healthy. Hell I want to be an actor one day. I want to be confident and dramatic in the best way possible surrounded by good people. But I’m not that way and the only way I can be is if I change. And I need to learn there’s nothing wrong with change. I need to learn that I can be who I want to be. None of us will ever achieve our dreams if we’re all unhappy or dead. So keep fighting because one day we will get there.

okay guys the second i saw his face i immediately imagined him as a young remus lupin and the lyrics of this song fit so well with remus' character for some reason but idk im harry potter trash and im making myself really sad

God this is like my anthem. I always feel like a manipulative monster. I open up to people and it just hurts them. It drags them down anytime I express my grief or struggles. It makes me hate that side of myself, and I keep my emotions bottled so I don't hurt the people I love.

I hurt a lot of people when I got mentally ill. I became someone I hated, more than anyone else hated me. I dislocated from my family, I unfriended everyone trying to help me. I just wanted to hurt all on my own, because I didn't want to let people see me that way anymore. I wanted so bad to get better, be better, be GOOD again. Not sure if I ever will get better. Maybe someday..

Who’s listening to this in 2021

Dear me, I'm sorry for hurting you so much I have no idea why I'm doing like this Because it's not your fault For what the world has done to you But I have no idea how to love I have no idea how to treat myself good No one ever teached me I was living from the lies of the past Please forgive me for being like this I hope that I will make you proud one day That you will not depend your happiness on others But that you will only do it by yourself I want you to look up at yourself Be your own example of how it should be You know better then anyone what you deserve Wake up my dear and step out of this spiritual prison Because you deserve to live With love, (Your future) Me. -Indy RA

Why is no one talking about how beautiful the woman is?! She's fucking gorgeous!!

My girlfriend passed away last year. We had just left a rehab facility. I think she did it more for myself than her. I forever will but the blame of her relapse on me. But I will try to keep myself alive and fighting for our legacy.

I just found this song in 2023. Oh my heart....oh the comments...oh people do feel the same as i do...oh i am not alone in my pain.

Every time we hurt someone we break our heart a little too, we just don't see it until we're alone and broken cause someone hurt us, then we remember everything we did and want to take it back but we can't. That's why this song matters. To remind us to be good every day and not to make mistakes for which we'll later grieve.

This song reminds me of many "villains", such as Luke Castellan, Bucky Barnes, Natasha Romanov, Ethan Nakamura, Jonathan Morgerstern, Draco Malfoy, Regulus Black, Theodore Nott, Damon Salvatore, Tomura Shigaraki, Itachi Uchiha, Katsuki Bakugo, Reiner Braun, Annie Leonhart, Berthold Hoover, Eren Jaeger, Manjiro Sano, Kazutora Hanemiya, Wei Wuxian...

I have borderline personality disorder. I’ve started to realize I was the monster all along.

"I'll be good, I'll be good, and I'll love the world like a shit." Thats deep.

Jaymes Young never disappoints

Who is the lady in the video. She is gorgeous. It's like looking at a moving painting of a masterpiece. I'm going to paint her. This song is beautiful.

I used to avoid people and push everyone away until I met him, he was the person who got me to feel more confident and open up. The first time we ever spent time together was at the mall, and I still have the picture he took of me. It was the first time I really smiled and I havent smiled like that since. We still talk but not like we used to, we split up a week before our 7 month, where i planned and still did bake his favorite cake. I miss him, quite alot.

Whenever my life turns into a mess ı come here and listen this.

Am i the only one that thinks that this song is perfect for Jace Herondale?

The lady with the freckles is beautiful

I am most likely a villain in many lives, I have been hurt and then hurt in return. I struggle with loving myself and, in return, loving others. Hating is much easier... being callous and harsh is second nature. I have fallen away from Christ, but he is the only one who can save me now. I hope he can save me and any who have a similar story.

On my father's death bed,from cancer, I forgave him for all times he was a bad father because I could see in his eyes if he could do it all over again he'd of been good for all the times he never could...

Jaymes Young

Have you ever opened up but no one understands you so even if you talk to people about your problems your still crying out for help 🥀😔

No one in this world is completely good. Yes we do good deeds but the devil is always with us so it's a mix battle between good and evil and the battlefield is our own body. The only thing we can do is be better but being completely good will never happen.

How am I supposed to be good if the people around me is so bad......? Sometimes I just wish someone would hug me and tell me everything will be okay even if it's a lie.....

This song reminds me to not be so rude to people. I dont want to get hurt so I dont let people get to know me. And my wall ends up me being rude. I hope this song and ig my comment can help other people fix their wrongs🙂

This song came out this year? Why hasn't this song been played endlessly on the radio or talked about more by people like all the other songs? Songs like that stupid "Anaconda" or whatever desperate attempt Madonna just put out? Man, people both young and old need to learn to appreciate good music.

This song reminds me of my bipolar schizophrenic little brother. I know he wants to be better but his mind just wont let him. I love you DJ, you never deserved what you went through.

Just listening to this song it just reminds about how lonely I am. It makes me feel sad even if I have no reason to feel this way. I’m smart. I have no family problems and I haven’t lost too many close relatives yet. My family is on the richer side. We’ve never had to worry about money. Why should I feel sad?! My life is amazing, why in the world do I want to end it?! I guess I’ve finally realized why. My mental health is far from perfect. What’s on the inside matters more then what’s on the outside. No one knows what goes on in my head, how I’m scared to close my bedroom window. I was told it’s just a “phase.” It ISNT a phase. It’s insecurity. That isn’t the only problem I have, I also suffer from social anxiety and depression. Social anxiety never got in the way until I was in 5th grade. I was scared to talk to anyone. Scared of what they would think of me. I’m even too scared to talk to family. I can’t control it, I wish I could. I wish I didn’t have to think about what I would say a minute before I had to say it. Social anxiety gets in the way with so much more then I can express. In the end, I still suffer from depression, insecurity, social anxiety, anxiety itself, and just life itself. Ive stared down from tops building whenever I get the chance. In the end, I’m too scared to live but I’m also too scared to die. Sorry for how long this is..

I listen to this song whenever I do something stupid and then I start crying😐

this is so relaxed

Im the Black sheep of the family. I have a cold heart this song very encouraged me to see the world clearer

I wanted Jaymes Young to succeed and be ultra famous, yet I also want him to be my secret, something I'd keep all to myself, because he's too much to be appreciated by people, and I fear people won't find him as amazing like the way I see him.

It's so sad seeing so many people relate to each others problems. Our generation is so bad that young children can't enjoy their youth. We have so many things to live for. Laugh, cry, fall in love, make a family, give love. But none of us thinks of those things anymore. Cause society and every fucking problem that's caused by the older people's choices effects us. Parents, please give your kid attention. Let the work for once and spend some time with your son to watch some football. Fix your daughter's hair and talk about your day. Don't judge your kids expecting them to open up to you. How can they do that when all u do is accusing them for everything when u can't control your nerves and expecting them to be the best. The best in class, the best in life. Listen. I beg you as a child. Listen

This song always feels to me like begging the universe to make things better. Like saying a prayer, but for those of us who don't pray. Whenever I feel like the universe is just kicking me in the fucking teeth, this song becomes sort of like an inner mantra for me. Bargaining with whatever powers there may be... I find myself singing it a lot lately.

To all the strugglers out there who suffer from depression and anxiety and other mental illnesses just know you are loved and pple can be mean but the love of others will never compair to the love of Jesus if ur an atheist maby just give Jesus a try and maby all your problems will be solved.

I thought I saw a goat in my house this morning

That girl is so pretty?? Hecc she is one of the most aesthetically pleasing people I've ever seen

To all of you that are hurting or desperate, god can help you out of it. He's the only one that can heal your broken heart. If you need prayer, write me or comment. Or just talk to him, he's always listening. It's just an offer you don't have to, but believe me you will never regret this decision. ❤️

My parents say I'm lazy ,people say I'm a bad influence ,friends say in toxic, teachers say i don't try BUT music says lay down turn up the volume and close your eyes.

*Even though the music video was very simplistic, the message behind it was very strong. Absolutely beautiful.

Draco Malfoy's song anyone?

The “I’ll be good and I’ll love the world like I should” just hits different, imma get it tattooed; it’s just so powerful, it’s means a different thing for everyone. I just- I’ve spend ages hating myself and my life, my body, my scars... I feel like, I’m not good enough because I don’t Love the world like I should; so I’ll be good and I’ll love the world like I should

"I'll be a better man today, I'll be good...I'll be good...for all the time I never could"

This video helped me realize that my response to my depression isn't healthy not only to myself but for others. When I have deep depressing thoughts or anxiety I pick at my skin until I bleed. I cut and burn. But one day I was caught with a burn mark on my neck after I rubbed plastic on the surface of my neck until I bled and it left a mark. My mother cried, my brother was frustrated and disappointed, not only that but worried as hell. He told me the pain my mother went through when she lost 3 children after and before my brother was born. And then my father was shocked and hugged me saying I needed to speak. Time went by and my family isn't the most accepting... But I understand... They have all the right to be mad or stressed, even dissapinted to have a mentally ill daughter. But when I saw this, I realized even though I'm harming myself, I also harm those around me. Not only my mental issues but in the past I have physically and mentally hurt my peers, I don't know what came over me. And when the school year ended it was the last grade level before moving schools. At night, I beat myself over it. I told myself, I need to suffer the same pain i made them go through. I was then able to find some of my peers and I said sorry, they said it was alright and to not worry,but I couldn't convince myself. That's another reason why I developed depression. Even now,its been 3 years since then. And I still feel like the pain I've gone through isn't enough to match the pain I put my peers through. But now...I'll be good, and I'll love the world like I should...

once you realize how broken you are is the same time you realize how to fix yourself as best as you can for yourself and others

I once felt like a monster, and then I got high for x months, and now I feel like I woke up as a broken, well disciplined monster. And I'd like to think anyone who knew me knew that at the core I am nothing but love and peace. Either way, I'll (try to) be good.

Dear Me, I hope you realise that by hurting others the only one you hurt is yourself and by pushing everyone out you are becoming sad and lonely. I know that things were so much easier before but you need to find yourself, and treat people as you would want to be treated. For all the things you do to others, for all the hurt you caused, For all the tears and for all the drift that I caused. I will be good now instead of all the times I couldn't

So i just discovered a song called moondust and was like damn, this great, who is it by? Of course it's by Jaymes Young! I'll be good is one of the highest played songs on my phone and now my new obsession is by the same artist. This guy has serious talent!

Actually this song is for all humans... we are villains of our mother earth. Sadly... earth is crying out loud but we can't listen to it...

Most of this comment section needs love. So here is all my love to you!! ❤️❤️❤️😍😍🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💙💙💙💜💜💜💗💗💖💖💞💞💛💛💚💚❣️❣️💓💓😻😻🧡🧡💘💘💝💝🤟🤟💟💟🤍🤍😊😊☺️☺️

I grew up rough, I went to Afghanistan a few times as a Marine Infantryman, I'am an Ex-Cop trying to do better. Thank you for this song, thank you for helping me heal a bit.

Day's been rough. It shocks me how I've changed, what I've become. It brought me to tears in half a minute.

Supernatural. This is what brought me here

the meaning of this song to me is release. it was new year’s eve, 2014 to 2015 and this song popped up on my playlist while i was on the road to see my brother and his family. i had just decided i’d leave church and walk my own path of faith. i grew up in a church with people telling me how to act, who to be, but when i finally decided that wasn’t what i wanted, i felt like this, i felt like i could be good on my own for all the times i never could, nothing would hold me back. i promised myself i’d be good. i’m still working on that promise and i plan on never breaking it.

Everyone has stories of realizing that they’re the bad guy.. I feel like I’m the only person who believes they’re the bad guy no matter what. I wasn’t a good person in the past and I’m still not a good person. I’m a burden to my family and friends. I’ve tried to find people like me so I wouldn’t feel so alone in all this, but I can’t find anybody.

I just found this guy and he is amazing!!!!!

Give this man an award please

Dear Myself, I know that you didnt wanted to hurt people. I know that you are scared, but you cant keep continue like that. Its not fair for them, and for me. Your inside puppet. You need to be yourself, you need to love yourself just like the way you are. I know that you are a child, and i know that you ve been make a lot of mistakes lately, i know that you are shame of them, but the rage and the fire inside you, need to calm down, you need to breathe, and you need to stop crying, because you need to open your eyes, and see what you are, and who exactly are. I know that you also hurt me, putting me in your most difficult situations, but..im still here for you. Im still for myself. If you love him, understand yourself. Its for the good of both. Love, Dorina..

So it's Feb 2021... I listen to this daily. The comment about this being a villain anthem seems so accurate. I've had so many health problems and I ask myself on a regular basis "what have I done so deserve this?" "Who was I before that this life is so cruel?" Honestly, more and more I just find myself angry. At myself, at my life, at the world... I'm becoming the villain.

This song is for those of us that have these little moments of clarity, where we know we were “bad” or wrong. When we usually just let our brain ignore it.

My depression feels like pieces of my soul floating away so slowly I could probably grab them...but I just watch them float away because what’s the point. Feelings of worthlessness and guilt for not being able to do more for the 2 people I have in my life. Guilt for making everyone around me miserable. Guilt for not pulling myself out of this. Anger towards my mother for allowing me to grow up learning to feel so lonely and hurt. Angry because I push everyone away. Angry because when I fight for a week or two it gets ripped away by something stupid because my mental constitution is just weak.

Amen God bless you all 👑🙏

Who else discovered this song with the AMV of The Silent Voice ?

i like this part of the internet
