But I am ME and I am trying to show this society how special I am because I am different. People who do not conform to the mould are original people, more fun and more interesting. I bet you're a very special person. A big hug my friend!

    Someone on Quora wrote this interpretation of their song "Demons" a while back: "I think it is about someone with depression with the associated guilt and self loathing. They feel everything is hopeless and push others away because they don’t want to burden them. The know they desperately need help but are unwilling and unable to ask for it. At the same time they secretly hope that someone will see through their facade and reach out to them." This is so accurate.

    This is such a coincidence. I'm a mormon myself. The other day I was having a conversation with one of my family members about how Imagine Dragons can still keep all the commandments while thriving in the music industry. And his comment was they're probably not devoted as much as before. I know I'm not active anymore but once you're a mormon, you are a mormon for life. The sense of guilt is kind of cemented in your head all the times.

    Unfortunately, I can relate to that to some extent. Where I live, a lot of members of my church are accepting and would be fine with LGTBQ members, but some of them are very strict and upturned against them against what we're being taught, and it makes me sad. The one kid in my seminary class intentionally walks away or ignores people he knows to be LGTBQ. (He's also the kind of kid to go around telling non members not to drink coffee).

    Dan speaks to me. In every single song I hear a story of him struggling. He has come so far and with every song I listen to keeps me alive. I am a struggling girl and since “it’s time” I understand him. Radioactive has a huge meaning to me. Hopeless Opus has a even bigger meaning to me. I think that society is taking huge steps back. I am happy he is talking about this. This is an issue. He has been depressed I am depressed but he keeps me alive and I bet if he knew this, I bet knowing he keeps millions of people alive keep him alive so he can save more, not all heroes wear capes, not all have powers. Imagine Dragons as a whole is the reason I am still here. Have a nice day or night!

I felt like a failure.. and at the show he talked about mental health. How we are one and it's ok to feel this way... I left feeling ok about how I felt and felt so much better.

    I hope anyone who watches this that wants less judgement in the world will extend that same idea to religions as well. I am a member of the LDS Church (A Mormon) and I care so deeply for those in our religion that feel like outsiders or feel lost and alone. Anyone truly living our religion would only show love and kindness to anyone who is struggling. I know our church leaders are very aware of the suicide crisis and are working so hard at being part of the solution. You can be religious and be kind.

    Really well spoken; however I'm hoping that the KZread community and everyone who sees this realizes this is not the viewpoint of all Christians.We're called to love one another and anyone who goes against that, especially for something that isn't even a sin, isn't doing it right. I also wish too that people would be a little more respectful of others beliefs regardless. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean I'n homophobic...quite the opposite. Just my two cents.

    I totally agree! I also find that as a Jewish person, when he said that judaism was in a similar vein to strict Mormons, it felt important to add that the ultra religious community only forms a small part of the global jewish population. For the majoirty of people I know from many religious background, acceptance is a pillar in which the tradition stands on and hopefully the voices of reason and good will one day be heard louder than those of hate.

    I have always been fascinated by his songs and felt such a pain and then a release. It was like I felt peace after hearing him. The first song I remember was "Demon" and then I never stopped. All of his songs, almost all of them are in my every day playlist. I owe him lots of night when a single piece of music saved me from doing harm to myself. I promised to live for another day. And today, I can't stop living enough! I partially owe that to you Dan and I love you for that.

    I've been listening to Imagine Dragons for about 5-6 years, I've always known his songs were about sadness or some sort of angry feelings. That's why some of his songs are completely weird and very not straight forward, a lot of metaphors. Like, I'm So Sorry, Friction, The Fall, Bet My Life, TipToe, Amsterdam, and almost EVERY song are unordinary but amazing. I love both his mainstream songs but if yoy love Believer, Thunder, Radioactive I suggest his old songs too their simply incredible and so damn catchy!

    The Tolley Crew Though, falling in love with someone and not falling in love with another is not a choice that people (gay or straight alike) make in their lives. You cannot control whom you fall in love with, and I'm not taking about just attractions. I'm talking about being happy spending the rest of your life with a certain person, the match, the comparability, the feeling you have for that person, the love you feel. You cannot choose whom that person you feel all this will be.

    I don't think The Tolley Crew was talking about falling in love as much as just loving everyone around us. It's just like Dan Reynolds said in the video, that when you stand for what you believe there are going to be people that disagree with that, and that goes for both sides. But disagreeing on certain issues doesn't mean we can't love people that are different from us.
