Aarrgghh!!

Intervention

I finally watched my Tivo'ed copy of Intervention, the new reality show from A&E. I have to say I'm disappointed. The last 20 minutes or so focus on the intervention. The rest of the show was focused on setting up the "why" of the intervention - "Why was the intervention needed?"

I think where they failed here is that they did a good job of showing why they needed the intervention, but they did a less good job of telling me why I should care about these people. Granted, this is going to show the worst of the people off, but I think they need to focus more on making us root for the people. There seems to be a token effort to point out what these people were before they were addicts, but it seems to revel more in their downfall. All in all this is just another exploitative reality show with little social merit. Nothing wrong with that, except, there are other reality shows that are just as exploitative, but don't hide behind a veneer of "helping people."

Having said all this, until I see the one with my boy, Gabe the Gambler, my jury is still out.

Posted by: Bethany at March 31, 2006 12:23 AM

Aarrgghh Guy! I assumed the theme music was original to the show. In some previews they used to play "What a Good Boy" by the Barenaked Ladies. Other than that, I don't know. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

Posted by: Elle at July 3, 2006 2:49 PM

I think that the new commercial theme song is a song called Broken by Seether featuring Amy Lee. http://www.seether.com/home.asp


Posted by: dmg at January 18, 2007 7:33 PM

The song your looking for is broken by Seether and Evenesence.


Posted by: M.J. at January 27, 2007 4:56 PM

There is an Intervention Commercial and the song is one that I've looked for for years and I am still looking for it! Can anyone tell me who sings it. the words start, "When you were born they looked at you and said, what a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl" and then the song continues and says the same thing only "boy replaces girl and the song begins.... who sings this and what is the actual name of the song? Tks, J


Posted by: Jesica at February 16, 2007 8:17 PM

Aarrgghh Guy! It's Barenaked Ladies, "What a Good Boy" off their album "Gordon."




Posted by: Terrence Ryan at February 16, 2007 8:28 PM

There is a new Intevention commercial and it stars with 'If I don't say this now, I will surely break'.."forget the urgency hurry up and wait' or something like that - Does anyone know who sings this song and what the name of it is?

I have been looking for the same song Cassie is looking for. I know the lyrics go "o uh o, o uh o, please stay there". I hear that song every day at work and don't know the name of it and i finally heard it on the intervintion commercial. So please, please if you can, Help.


Posted by: Dena at March 9, 2007 10:13 PM

I found the song it is "Look after you" by The Fray


Posted by: Dena at March 10, 2007 1:43 PM

Are you sure it's the Fray song? The commercial currently running contains the lyrics "all alone" yet the Fray song does not. Any ideas?


Posted by: kim at March 18, 2007 8:53 AM

On the current commercial, it is the Fray song "Look after you". They are saying "0ooOooooOooo" not "all alone" although it does sound like "all alone".


Posted by: Angie at May 24, 2007 5:29 PM

at first i thought it was the fray too (the oo ooo oo song). but after i googled it, they say its "five steps" by the davenports. i have yet to determine this as im at work with no speakers. good luck.


Posted by: lisa at May 30, 2007 3:18 PM

Thanks but the song I am looking for is the all instrumental at the start of the show, like tubular bells then it goes very string and deep. It is the intro song this season with no lyrics. Anyone know the artist and name?


Posted by: joe S at August 2, 2007 12:45 AM

just wondering if anyone has seen the new commercial for "Intervention" episode to air on August 10 2007, all I heard was part of the song and it goes, "with broken wings" Does anyone know what song this is????? please and thank you :)


Posted by: Ali at August 6, 2007 4:43 AM

Ali: did it go like this? "On broken wings I'm falling, And it won't be long". The only song i could find - because i have been looking forever too - is BROKEN WINGS by ALTER BRIDGE.


Posted by: KAT at August 6, 2007 1:17 PM

BROKEN WINGS by ALTER BRIDGE - its the new 2007 Season commercial song! I found it!!!


Posted by: KAT at August 6, 2007 1:20 PM

Still looking for the name of the intro song on the series, tubular bell at the start, no vocals, plays at the beginnig of each episode. Any suggestions who plays it?


Posted by: Joe S at August 7, 2007 8:04 PM

Thanks to KAT for posting Broken Wings by Alter Bridge. =)

Terrence is right. "...but I think they need to focus more on making us root for the people." Addiction is just a symptom of depression, unloving families and other flaws of reality. Believe it. No intervention will cure the blankness that is our lives today. Sober since 04/20/04--still cold inside.


Posted by: Bad Religion at August 10, 2007 9:47 AM

thanks for finding that song by alter bridge, i knew i had heard it somewhere and now I can finally get the whole song. thanks again :)


Posted by: Ali at August 11, 2007 6:34 AM

Posted by: angie at November 8, 2007 1:15 PM

This is in response to the comment asking why you should be interested in watching these peoples lives and their individual struggles. If it does not interest you, do not watch it and furthermore, dont then post a blog about your disappointment. No one made you watch this program, you did it of your own free will and at any point you were disappointed you could simply change the channel. so instead of wondering why you should care, if you do not care, then find something to care about and do something more constructive.


Posted by: afan at November 13, 2007 12:37 AM

The song is by strata


Posted by: Phil at November 13, 2007 1:32 AM

the song is called "Coma Therapy" by Strata...check them out on myspace


Posted by: joe at November 13, 2007 4:43 PM

Maybe this show is disappointing to those who never experienced addiction. Maybe it would be more dramatic to see what people were like before the addiction.......... So we can feel better about ourselves..... What do I think..... I think this is a wonderful show that should be watched. This show should be presented to schools....It needs to known what happens when we chose to self medicate. It is heartbreaking how a substance can completely take over our lives and there is nothing you can do about it until one is ready. One must be ready and willing to get help...no intervention will cure an addict....the addict must cure himself with support from loved ones. An addict must be willing to change his/her lifestyle. This....my friends...is not easy....it is the fight of your life. Intervention is a start....not a cure. Addiction does not discriminate..it happens to anyone. Me....sober since Oct 2001/addicted to painkillers/Mother/Wife. Then...staying sober...is a daily battle that definetly gets easier. However...still a hard fought battle. Addiction is not cured in a day, week, month or even a year....it is a very long and hard road. Once there.....it is very empowering. When I climbed the mountain of sobriety....I can a can accomplish anything.....My life today has changed competely....Changes I have made myself. You could say....I am a grateful addict....my life today is better than before the addiction. I too....came from a dysfunctional family.....and spent many years feeling empty and worthless. I needed to change my life and I did. It was up to me and no one else how I wanted to live my life...The choice was mine and mine alone. We only have ourselves to blame for the choices made in our life. It is not how we fall....it is how we stand....... Take care and good luck to all the addicts trying to get help and good luck to us sober ones and may we stay this way for life. and thanks joe!..I too....was trying to figure out the name of the song by Strata! Take care everyone.....stillsober

There's a commercial for Intervention and its a man singing and in some part it says something like "I've got nothing left to live..." Does anyone know the name of that song and who sings it?

Nevermind, I found it. [:

SO...who is it?


Posted by: Kevin at November 29, 2007 11:54 PM

I recently atarted watching the show intervention, and i sometimes tear up in the middle. I am a United states Marine. Before that i was a crack and cocaine addict, somewhere after high school and in community college i lost sight, i was a choir boy so to speak, i had a rough life but in high school i turned that all around, i started partying hard in college and coke turned to crack and drinking was an everyday thing. i used my girlfriend who worked hard and got her hooked as well, it lasted a little more than a year and one day it hit me. that i hated myself. i loved my girlfriend so i needed to do something to be a man, so i turned to marines, what better therapy than 13 weeks at parris island. since we are married, i drive a brand new jeep. my payments every month are what i would have spent in one day on cocaine. i watched the episode about the marine heroine addict it breaks my heart. i believe that this show can be an inspiration to those who know. it reminds me of where i was and where i am going. we watch it together just to remind ourselves and pray for the futures of other people in this world dealing with the same issues. exploitive or not, the point is made, and the lessons are learned. p.s. i was only looking for the song by strata, thanks ya'll


Posted by: jesse at December 2, 2007 5:47 PM

I think you have to be a heartless son of a bitch for you not to have a little sympathy for the addicts on that show. Clearly you have no knowledge about addiction.


Posted by: Ethan at December 3, 2007 9:27 PM

So who sings that song posted by Shaina? "I've got nothing left to loose..."?


Posted by: britt at December 4, 2007 12:18 PM

I'm wondering if anybody would happen to know the opening title sequence to "Intervention," or where I can possibly find it. I have looked tirelessly for this, yet fail to come up with an answer that's even remotely close. I have even searched the composer's name. Nothing. I appreciate whatever help anyone can provide. Thanks.


Posted by: Keith at January 9, 2008 3:31 PM

"Five Steps," by The Davenports. That is usually the last song played. My questions is what is just the chimes and bell riffs at the very beginning or in between commercial breaks??

Hi,

In the show Intervention, at the beginning, when it previews the subject and shows quick clips of them and then a black screen with writing, i.e. "Julie; the 15 year old musician" then that morphs into "the crack addict" and during all of this there is an intense piano intro in the background.

I was wondering if someone knew what that song is called and/or where I can download it.

Please respond by emailing me ASAP! Thanks!

Much appreciated, Todd

What is that intro song they play @ the beginning. You know the bells they play when they intro the addict. "My name is Tim.... .... T. I. M. I'm 28 years old and I live in Cleveland, Ohio. My hobbies are skateboarding, golf and bicycling. I am addicted to Crack, Vikes, mushrooms, Zanax, XTC, K cuts, Pot, Vodka, OCs, Perks, Cocaine, Acid, Aterol, Opium, Special K, Heroin, Liquid G, Glue, Nitrus, and my personal favorite METH!! ... .... .... .... weird stare in camera.... ..... ......." LOL No, but seriously someone out there has to know what the instrumental song is. My boyfriend wants it as a ring tone. We love the show and have watched all episodes, even on ONDEMAND Its just as addictive as the drugs they take, it's popular because we ALL can relate in some way.

The song is "More" by Tyrone Wells - http://www.myspace.com/tyronewells.

Its on his new album "Remain." Comes out on iTunes 12/9/2008. CD will be in stores 1/27/09.


Posted by: Scott at December 1, 2008 4:55 PM

I love the show. Of course I'm partial, having recovered myself.. Thats the thing with addiction, You aren't yourself while you're active. You are a desperate person devoid of the morals, that you may strongly believe in. It is hard to root for that person.. But for the family trying to rescue them, they know the person inside. Who the addict was as a child. We all sink deep inside while active, and the good is hidden. I relate to the desperation in every episode, and most get me teary. The one flaw I find, is that the show doesn't go far enough into the recovery process. In reality, if they're hoping to send a message to someone that is active, i believe they have succeeded, by showing them that first action needed, asking for or accepting help. However, it is not rehab that saves us. It helped me for sure, but AA was where I learned how to live again. Sober since 11/25/2000.


Posted by: Ben at December 13, 2008 6:33 PM

there was the song on the newest commercial I think they say " I don't wanna die" what song is it!?


Posted by: gaby at December 15, 2008 5:55 PM

The theme song for the new ads (Dec. 08) with the lyrics "I'm alive" and "I don't want to die" is by Tyrone Wells and it's called More. They state it on the A & E website at http://www.aetv.com/intervention/video/

The lyrics are: Sometimes I get so tired, Just trying to find a place, To lay my head, I look up to the sky, I feel the warmest light comfort me, I've seen the great heights, Reminding me... that I'm alive, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna waste another day, Or night, I know there's something more, Than what we're living for, I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shores, I know there's something, I know there's something more.

I think we're all afraid, That we might be alone, Alone down here, We all want to have some faith, At least that's true in my case, To just believe, I've seen the great height, Reminding me... that I'm alive, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna waste another day, Or night, I know there's something more, Than what we're living for,

I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore, I know there's something, This world may crumble, Into the ocean, It could all end tonight, I undermined you, Then try to find you, My only source of light, There breathing, I am, Breathing, I am, Alive, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna waste another day or night, I know there's something more, Than what we're living for,

I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore, I know that I'm alive, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna waste another day, Or night, I know there's something more, Than what we're living for, I see it in the stars, I feel it on the shore, I know there's something more.

Intervention is thing where an only game of will power. If you are able to control than you will be the winner either you loose. There are many kind of program running for the intervention and working very successfully. I thought if I got any chance to join them I will definitely do it. Sean Cruz Drug Intervention


Posted by: Sean Cruz at March 13, 2009 1:08 AM

Of course sometimes it happens, even if an intervention is done, that the individual will not face that he or she has to go in a rehabilitation program. It usually takes some time for the individual to see the truth and be able to face his problems. But the intervention is always valuable, even if at first it does not look like it. The individual might call you back way later and let you know that he necessitates getting in a rehab, that’s when you’ll realize the intervention helped extremely Listen. If during your drug or alcohol intervention the addict begins asking questions like; Where would I have to go? How long would I be there? These are signs that he is reaching for help. Do not directly answer these questions. Instead have him call in to talk to a professional. Support him. The family and person attending the intervention should definitely express their concerns but not to sympathize with the addict. Sympathy is a form of agreement and can back fire by justifying the dependency. Without any anger or fear, the addict should “get� from all the people present that the situation is known and that he/she needs to go to treatment. Don’t allow stories of family problems and life’s troubles sway the attention off the point that the individual has a problem and needs to seek help fixing it. This is where the family’s preparation pays off. Do not wait. Once you’ve gotten his agreement, get him admitted immediately. Therefore, you should have a bag packed for him, any travel arrangements made, and prior acceptance into a treatment. An intervention well planned has a high success

Of course sometimes it happens, even if an intervention is done, that the individual will not face that he or she has to go in a rehabilitation program. It usually takes some time for the individual to see the truth and be able to face his problems. But the intervention is always valuable, even if at first it does not look like it.

New York drug intervention is for the most parts here to give an individual the right resources to get a person suffering from a dependency that doesn't think he necessitates it into a drug or alcohol rehabilitation treatment.

We showed a documentary on the ill-effects of tobacco to the children, which was well received by them. The children were seen discussing the message, which they got from the documentary, with the teachers. We feel such documentaries are very effective to communicate messages===============================================

I get your point. I think they should think about showing more clips on why we should care,


Posted by: Drug Rehab Counselor at May 1, 2009 1:36 PM

you should not need a reason to care or not. its the fact that there are people out there, suffering, and almost dieing from drug addiction. do you not see the look of pain on the families faces, or the regeret in the users eyes. you should give a damn because that could happen to your family and if you needed help you would want people to care as well. its not even questionable on if you should care or not because these users are people and they have feelings, they have lives, whether they are drug related ones or not. your a sick pig if you have watched the show and you stilll dont know why you should care.

Does anyone know the song they play at the end of the show?? It is kind of mellow and I think it says 'sending out a lifeline' or something like that.

Emily -

The song is "Lifeline" by Mat Kearney. His new album came out last Tuesday

Treatment on drug addiction will vary according to a particular level. When a particular addict has long been using drugs, there could be a long term treatment for that. To keep a recovering addict motivated on rehabilitating himself, a drug addiction intervention can really help a lot for a full recovery.
