Sevendust - Not Original (Official Music Video)

Director: Caleb Mallery
Production: Daniel Livschutz - VILAS Entertainment

LYRICS:
I sorta like deceiving.
And all this tragic loss.
I want to find some patience
But kill the feelings off.
I want to drown in praise.
But never really deliver.
I want to feel insane, insane.

SO LONG TO GO, YOU KNOW.

No matter how I cling to life.
I'm not fooling anyone.
I'm not original anymore.
I’m not original anymore.

And when the well is dead and dry.
I'll keep begging you to start a war.
I'm not original anymore.
I’m not original anymore.

Do I start it over.
Before I self-destruct.
What’s the perfect way to say I’m lost? I just give up.
Yeah I want to try and change.
The vanity in the mirror.
I know you feel the same, insane.

SO LONG TO GO, YOU KNOW.

No matter how I cling to life.
I'm not fooling anyone.
I'm not original anymore.
I’m not original anymore.

And when the well is dead and dry.
I'll keep begging you to start a war.
I'm not original anymore.
I’m not original anymore.

ONE BY ONE THEY FALL.
USE YOUR WORDS FOR WAR.
CHASING OPEN DOORS.
FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH.

No matter how I cling to life.
I'm not fooling anyone.
I'm not original anymore.
I’m not original anymore.

And when the well is dead and dry.
I'll keep begging you to start a war.
I'm not original anymore.
I’m not original anymore.

I feel like Lajon Witherspoon has one of the most underrated voices of any band.

[KineticGTR]

Ran into LW by chance as he was walking with his girl while outside the concert. Had a quick chat, expressed my support, and then I let him enjoy his walk. Next time I saw them in concert, he pointed me out in the crowd while he was singing. Sevendust appreciate their fans and don't forget them.

[metagear]

It's tear-inducing to see such good music come out in an era where such a possibility is so rare. Forget the lack of a bigger fanbase. Lets just be thankful that Sevendust exists.

[RobBeatdownBrown]

These guys will go down as one of the best bands to ever do it. Lajon Witherspoon is a legit legend 💯

[sonorkmf]

Lajon gets better and better as most singers fade with time. He's a living legend IMO. He's one of the very few that can invoke emotion to the point of a physical reaction. He can bring you to tears, or make you feel like breaking down a wall. Happy birthday brother!

I swear Black dudes in Metal are like Unicorns. There aren't many, but when you witness one you are just left speechless at how beautiful their voices are. There really isn't anything like it.

[moderategiantx]

"Not Original" One of the most original songs i've heard in years.

[fromdepthswerise]

They know how to do heavy, and also know when to dial it down and do something soft and beautiful. And they do it without forsaking originality and integrity. Sevendust fan 4 life

[merchan]

I really wish more of this band's music would get some airtime. The only 7D songs I hear on the radio at work are Black and once in a while I'll hear Denial but that's it. These guys have so many amazing songs, that too few have heard.

[ReprogrammedToHate]

One of the most consistent bands ever.

[SinisterSinner]

These guys and Deftones are still around making great music. Thank you Sevendust for being there still making great music for us in 2018 who grew up in 90's - 00's, These guys rep BIG TIME.

[acousticide]

Sevendust is without a doubt for me, THEE greatest rock band of my lifetime, and I'm almost 49 years old. I usually play albums out and then move on to new music, but I can listen to any 7D album and love it like it was new. Something about that voice, and their songwriting that pulls me in. It's enough to hear their music, but then to see them live, and feel the authentic emotion and gratitude from LW just deepens my admiration for this band. I hope these dudes keep making music until I'm an old man.... oh, and BTW this song is amazing!!

[RockFeed]

I love Sevendust so much. Another banger. So much emotion.

[MysticGuitar]

LJ never fails to bring it. It's like he's singing right to your soul.

[Polly_Ticks]

I can't explain it, but this song gives me an incredible urge to change some things in my life for the better

[jystr]

Is Lajon ever gonna get the props he deserves. Truly a one of a kind!

[drock.]

I remember the very first time I heard them in '99 - my reaction today was the same - chills. Every. Single. Time. This band can do no wrong IMHO.

[mikefields]

Who else listened to this for a solid hour ( or more )??? Absolutely Beautiful song! 7D always delivers

[teodarkfuture]

The most underrated band of Alt. Metal/Rock genre! S E V E N D U S T R U L E S

[malicemajesty]

Lajon's voice is like honey, so smooth. They are amazing Live! <3
