Fan Feature Friday: Teena

  • Fan Feature Friday: Teena
    October 21, 2011

    This week's featured fan is Teena! She uploaded her very personal and touching music video for "This Song Saved My Life." We thought it was great, and are very happy she shared it with us on SimplePlan.com! Congrats Teena!

    This is probably one of the most personal videos I have ever made. I was contemplating not uploading this, but film making is about emotions and story telling and this video is both. The words featured in this video are actual excerpts from my diary during a tough time in my life. And during those tough times, I had mentors and support from friends, but most of all, I had music. One of the most prominent songs in my life is "Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan. It spoke for me when I couldn't find the courage to and gave me something to relate to. This song saved my life.

I would never have done this... too me it's just... too many emotions inside this tiny body. Besides, I don't have the guts to do it, for me it was just hard to write about my hell. It was a really great video, awesome job! Hope everything is much better now.

Wow! I love it ! It's a beautful , really touching video. I already watched it 3 times because I love it and it feels so ... good . Not in the way like : oh good ,I'm so happy but in the way like : I know how you feel , I've had those days too. 'Welcome To My Life' was the first song I heard of Simple Plan and also the most important 'cuz it saved my life ... I just wanna thank you for making this video and to upload it. I know you were doubting to upload it , but I'm glad you did =) Just one more word : RESPECT because it's such an awesome magnificent video =)

Wow. I just want to say congrats. you have major balls for putting that up on the internet! I can totally relate to you, Im always stressing trying to be perfect for my family and friends. I found the song "Perect" when I was going through a difficult time with my grades and I felt like it was the end of the world. I know it sounds dumb and all, but I guess I just put way too much preassure on myself and I HAD to be the best. The song reminded me that I'm only human and no matter how hard I try, the way I was preasuring myself, I would never be 'perfect'. I just had to accept that I would make mistakes and get on with life. So thanks, Teena. Thanks, SP Astronauts. Thanks, Simple Plan. You all might not know it, but when you post things like this on the internet and make it noicalble, someone, somewhere will thank you. Like me. So thanks.

Wow, that was very touching. But believe me when I say that you're not the only one who feels this way, and no matter what we're feeling deep in our hearts, we gotta keep going right? And yes, SP saved us all ?

Well, my own life sucks too, my dad is an alcoholic and really aggressive with me, my whole family hates me and even mum always says how stubid, ugly and fat I am, and every time I've tried to tell someone about this it gets worse because they don't believe me; my dad's a teacher, they probably can't ever imagine he could hit me, but he can and he does. I used to cut myself a lot before my dad caught me about it, he told me once again how stubid and insane I am and how much he hates me because I have ruined his life, and he forbate me for meeting my only friend because he decided that my broblems were her fault. Nothing really mattered. Couple days before the day I had decided to try a suicide I found SP. I listened their music, fell in love, noticed that there still was someone who totally understood me. And as you can see I didn't kill myself. My life still is a hell, I still feel really miserable, I still sometimes wonder would everything be easier in other way, but I don't hate myself that much anymore and I even have couple of friends to turn to in bad times, they mean me so much. I still believe the one I can thank for this little light in my life, the one who really saved me, is SP. So keep going Teena, you're worth it.

Welcome to My Life also saved mine, I can understand very well every single part of the video, but we have to keep going, things get better; when you're just expecting just to go from bad to worse, and from there to worser, things turn around and you find out there's always a reason to live for, even if it's just to get stronger :)

This video brought tears to my eyes. It hurts me that people feel this way and no one reaches out to them. If you need a friend, I'll be there.
