I am so proud and honored to have been a part of this project. It turned out amazing.

Got a tattoo with lyrics from this song, going to carry it 'easy can be hard to do' for rest of my life. Thanks again for the great song!

My now murdered fiance & I roadtripped to see you in Illinois. Everclear, by a mutual friend, brought us together & was always the marker that kept us together. The beautiful memories are inextricably entwined. Music transcends

[Roadto-zbvu]

Got to see Everclear in concert a few weeks ago. Art and the band stayed after to shake hands and sign autographs. Seemed like a cool guy. Glad he’s still rocking after all these years.

Dear Art, your words & music have helped me through some of the darkest times of my life. Times when I thought I might never see the light again. I drudged through the darkness, knowing that I wasn’t alone. Knowing that one day, I would wake up in the morning & things would start to feel better. We love you man, and we will never leave you alone! ♥️ 🙏

One of my biggest regrets is not playing this song for my dad before he passed — he loved music and suffered from primary progressive MS. I’m moved every time I hear this tune.

[SkribbalOfficial]

Fucking beautiful song and great video.

[ronames]

:)such a profound, prolific n touching song ... I believe Art Alexakis is a true poet Laurate of our times. His words n insight continue to touch so many n bring healing through his music. My prayers go to him n all whom suffer now. Stay safe during these most tryin' times n keep the Faith, Much Thanx Art !

I'm 34 and have had MS since 2014. The 'so much for the afterglow' album was one of my favourites growing up. It's nice to have you on the team we never wanted to be on but one in which we can still find beauty. ;) And for creating a song that I can relate to so much - thank you. <3

Gastroparesis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Autonomic Dysfunction- this song hit hard when I first heard it on 5/22/21. This isn't the person I had wanted to be nor who I wanted the word to see. No treatments or cures for Autonomic illnesses is devastating. I'm told to live with my pain and symptoms. Sometimes, just hard to live. Other times, too hard to give up and you fight. Thanks for the song.

It all started with World of Noise for me around '97. 24 years later, Everclear and Art are still my favorite. Blessings and prayers to Art, my loved ones, and everyone living with MS. This is absolutely beautiful video.

[ChadGriffithFilms]

Absolutely beautiful video and song! I'm not crying...you're crying...

[simoninwards]

Hey great tune...I am 64 and was diagnosed with MS in 2006! Unlike Art, I am just an amateur home musician, but my diagnosis inspired me to want to create a ‘CD’ of music. I built a little home studio and have written and recorded 12 songs; unlike Art I can’t sing so mine are mostly instrumentals. Music a fantastic way to express how you feel...and tell a story

[zoters]

Powerful! Living with MS for 23 years and this is so spot on. Keep on fighting! #MSWarriors!!!

[MoistEvil]

just heard this for the first time… I have loved Art’s work for many years… but this song and message was beautiful

[laurenduvall]

Damn, Art. You're still the best songwriter. May this fifthy disease subside and may you be strong to continue to write the songs that express our pain .. and our joys. Love, from Hawthorne, Portland, Oregon.

[DGAFORLIFE]

Thanks, Art for the music, it was great working for you and the band back in the 90's in Everclear thanks again for the memory's :)

[brettneisz]

Love you Art stay strong, your music has got me through sone tough times. I come see you everytime y'all come to town

[monketstyling]

Never knew, Art continues making music. Great.

I treated this beast for 7 horrendous years.
