Hatebreed - This Is Now

This song motivated me after a divorce and the loss of everything I had except two black plastic trash bags of dirty clothes.  Was suicidal and full of fear and wallowing in self pity.  I "stood the fuck up and fought", decided to face what I was afraid of and change my life.  Now I have a dual degree in electrical and optical engineering with a dual minor in physics and mathmatics, a job I love helping to create some amazing tech with some amazing people, a new wife and a new life and I never dreamed I would ever be able to achieve these things.  All you have to do is refuse to fail, be willing to do whatever it takes ( staying up for two to three days at a time was normal) and simply face your fear, you don't have to "beat" them just face them.  Anyone out there who is hopeless and lost YOU CAN RISE also.  I was thirty seven when I started my life over.  It is never to late, change today and you WILL change tomorrow!

I still think it's ironic that a band called Hatebreed delivers such positive messages

Hatebreed.... the most brutally positive band out there, haha. Love these dudes. So under appreciated

I've screamed the lyrics to this with tears streaming down my face trying to get clean and find reasons to keep living, this band and terror will forever be my life savers!!!

I'm native American and Mexican and I love hatebreed and a big fan of them

Hatebreed's lyrics and intensity always motivate me more than any other band. Simple stuff, but when you need a kick in the ass to get you moving, Hatebreed always delivers.

I have always liked the guitar sound these guys had. They got it right.

crazy that this song is a classic at this point, but still a BANGER \m/

I love HateBreed and I'm Black LOL!!!

I'm an American pastor who grew up hardcore and never wanted to give up my Rock music but I can stand with these brothers, bringing the truth. Catch it!!! Thanks guys!!! Keep them coming!!

Man, I remember first hearing this song after my first real relationship ended over six years ago now. This, and the rest of their catalogue, motivated me and helped to carry me through that time. Now, after all this time, I'm happily married with a respectable career and a life I never dreamed of. I do feel that a lot of that is owed to this music of these fine individuals that offered me insight and perspective that I'd not previously been opened up to. I hate rambling about personal things like this so publicly, but I couldn't resist this time. To anyone who has suffered along this far in my running on . . . Despite where you may be in life, emotionally or otherwise, find something that strengthens you and inspires you to be something that isn't made to impress anyone, but only to better yourself.

This song has gotten me through my battle with binge drinking.

one of the most sincere song lyrics I have ever heard. thank you. a decade or more ago this song has positively influenced all that I do.

Good song for quitting drugs

I like playing this song for my high school students. Although I do my best to teach the curriculum, my main goal is for them to be as self-sufficient as possible. This song in my view has an excellent message they need to adopt.

Hatebreed still kicks ass in 2024!! This is now!! F*** yeah man

Im in a depressive rut right now and this song has uplifted and encouraged me

I’m Gay and this song got me through of a lot of trials that come with that territory, also enduring depression, falling on my face time and time again. This song encourages me to get back up every time.

Props to the guy who woke up knowingly going to a Hatebreed video set and opted to grab his Lamb of God shirt and stand front row center. Legend.

songs FUCKING MOTIVATIONAL
