I noticed she had wet streaks on her face before, but I just now noticed the expression, she was trying so hard not to cry on set. poor girl >< I wish i could hug her. I can both hear and see the heartache.

    This is gonna be one of the oddest thank you’s I’ve ever given.
    I had heard that my grandma’s health and memory was deteriorating so I scheduled a trip from Florida back home to Washington state in mid November. Before I could make it home, she fell, broke her back and hips and hit her head which rapidly progressed her Alzheimer’s so she’d have days where she wouldn’t hardly recognize anyone. I video called my dad who was there (my grandparents lived on the same property as us so I get the seeing your grandma almost every day thing) and she recognized me and we told each other that we loved the other. Two days later, about a week before my flight, she passed away so I didn’t get to say goodbye.
    Beginning of this month, while I was home we held her memorial service for family nearby and live streamed it for everyone else...but even there I couldn’t cry. Watching this and seeing you choke up broke the dam and I’m writing this with tear stained cheeks.
    Thank you for uploading this.
    I’m working my way from old to new stuff after finding your channel early this morning, so if you get to it and I just haven’t seen it yet, I apologize, but I think you’d really enjoy Beast in Black. Lead singer has a killer voice and I think the vibe is right up your alley.

    Man...I’m glad I’m not the only one who lost it with this video/song. I was legit sobbing. My grandma doesn’t have dementia she’s battling RA, and she lives in another country so I barely get to see her. It’s tough seeing her degrade, and not be able to walk or use her hands the way she used to. I wish I could be there for her more because I used to see her all the time, but she’s unable to travel now. She’s still all there for the most part, but she used to be so active even in her old age. Seeing the scene of her on the bed and they wrap the blanket around her I just lost control of my emotions. Such a raw song, and the video just perfectly captures it. I enjoyed your video a lot dude. Good reaction.

    I wanna give you a hug big poppa bear. this song hits very hard for me as well. I remember when I was younger when I finished my day at school I visited my grandparents. my grandfather was a huge man. a very big huge man with a very loud voice but he was the sweetest. he was like the protector of the family. my grandmother was the softer sweeter one. they always made a specific food not many people eat. red beans, mashed potato, meat, unions, shrooms and loads of mayonese. when my grandfather died of cancer the whole family broke apart. my grandmother was completely lost and she developed a way of Alzheimers as well. my parents didn't want me to see her because she was completely broken. I wish I could see her. from there on everything went completely sideways. my parents did things to me no other parent should do. I left the house and never spoke to them again. for that its a weight that fell of my shoulders. and one day I heard that she passed away. family members didn't want me to attend the funeral. because I was an outsider in their eyes. I wasn't the religious fanatic they were. so I missed everything. today I think I'm going to visit the grave and make myself that same food they made me.

    Courtney's grandmother passed this summer and due to Covid she wasn't able to say goodbye or go to her funeral. She wrote this song (the lyrics, at least) for her as a tribute because her Grandma wanted her to sing a pretty song at her funeral. Constance is the name of the video director's grandmother who is suffering from dementia, so the video concept was HIS tribute to her... and the band named the song for her as well.
    Powerful reaction, brother. I bawled my eyes out for an hour after seeing this one too, and I never cry. Respect. I think this is the first time I've seen your channel, but you more than earned a sub from me.

    Courtney's grandmother passed away this summer and she couldn't travel to sah good bye to her. Also the Director of the video. Dylan of Versa Films.. lost his grandmother.. then theh decided to write the song and created the video..dedicated to their Grandmothers.
    I have cried quite a lot watching this video and reading the comments..and now watching your reaction.. it was emotional.
    Spiritbox and Jinjer are my top favourite bands and they create beautiful music and it reaches a lot of feelings within you.
    Again love the reaction and hoping you are doing well.

I've done the long goodbye twice and it's scary to think it could happen a third time even closer than before.

    Love this band + very impactful song. This band has quickly become one of my favorite bands of all time.
    Here's some info from an interview with the vocalist Courtney LaPlante about the song:
    "Due to border shut downs, I was not able to say goodbye to my grandmother Phyllis, to whom the song is in tribute, or attend her funeral. I always promised her that I would sing at her memorial service, because she always requested a 'pretty song with none of that scary screaming.' I hoped writing this song with no 'scary screaming' in it would help me find a sense of closure."
    "Dylan (video director) wrote his video concept to honour his grandmother, Constance to whom the video is in tribute. Our music videos usually have a horror element to them, and we wanted to explore a different side of horror: the horror of feeling like your mind is betraying you, due to a long battle with dementia. With Dylan's permission, we named the song 'Constance' to immortalize her story."
    Definitely check out more Spiritbox though! "Holy Roller" + "Blessed Be" + "Rule of Nines" would be a good start for your next Spiritbox songs!

I know where I am. I know where I will be. I push forward knowing there is an unseen date on an unseen toe tag. The glass is almost half empty. It will continue to empty until I don't know who is looking at me in the mirror.

    This one is hard for me, while I didn't get to know my grandmother through her I watched my family struggle around her. Back in September 2018 until May 2019 my dad was diagnosed with brain cancer and there were times where he wasn't there. It sucks and this song just brought it back. Cherish the time with your family, cherish the good moments and never let the bad ones take over your memories of them, they wouldn't want you to remember them in their worst.

  • @stephencasper87

    In an interview, Courtney was asked why she felt so many cry when they hear this song. Instead of going an easy and almost obvious route to answer the question, she offered a very thoughtful and sincere explanation. She essentially told the story of her grandmother's passing and the her inability to attend the funeral due to COVID restrictions. She said that many others have suffered losses during this time and so many have been carrying around a great deal of stress. "We need to give ourselves permission to cry", Courtney stated, and simply said that this song gives us all that permission to release the emotions we've had locked up for this past year.
    This band go well beyond what other groups do in terms of putting emotional and artistic qualities in their music. They are unparalleled when it comes to their creativity and willingness to put every part of themselves in the music they make.

    I’m glad you chose to upload this. Somehow UA-cam sent you to me and you got a new subscriber. I think this song resonates with everyone one in some way or another. I have seen this so many times and still cry my eyes out every time. Music should make you think, it should make you feel. We often suppress the feelings we can’t bare to face. Sometimes it is good to just be in that hurt and pain for a moment. We shouldn’t feel guilt. I’m sure in your case your grandmother would want you to have done your finals. We can’t change our past but we can allow ourselves to learn from it. We can think who needs us now and make a difference in their life the same way your grandmother made a difference in yours.

    OSN......its good to let out emotions. I cried as well. It keeps feelings from being suppressed. The more you let it out. ...the more you heal. That's why this song was created. It was Courtney and her grandmother. It hurts....but it's therapy.Ive had many.....too many. ❤️

      It's a tough one, alright. I bawled when I first watched it, and I still choke up every time. I can't think of another song that has done that to me, and I freaking love sad songs so I've heard thousands upon thousands of them...

      @@cooltechnician I can’t pick a favorite because their songs are so different (sane with Jinjer). I have to give credit to Courtney’s one-take of “Rule of Nines”. THAT video is what made me a fan. There’s something about watching her perform that you don’t get from official videos. Also, hi! Hope you’re well! 😊

    This song was really hard for me as well. We took care of my grandmother for the last year and a half of her life in our home while she had Alzheimer's. Be thankful for the good memories you have, I wasn't able to know her that well due to the distance between us when I was young. Almost all my memories of her are while she wasn't even herself. This song and the accompanying music video were so well done.

    Wow, I feel you man this is personal. My dad had dementia for 13 years. He had to spend the last six months in a personal care home. We had our photos with our names on them on his wall because he couldn't remember us, he only remembered the dogs names. I was there in the morning and he said he had a headache and he wanted to lie down and go back to sleep so I left and they called four hours later and said he had a stroke he passed a couple hours later. Never be afraid or embarrassed of showing your emotions it just shows how much you love. Blessed Be.

    Thanks for uploading. It was a real emotional rollercoaster but so beautiful at the same time. Although your reaction was what got to me the most, emotionally. Nobody in my family have suffered altzheimers, but my grandmother on my mother's side suffered 4 strokes before she died. Every stroke wiping out more and more of her memory. The last few times I visited her before she died, her "present day" was like 50-60 years ago. I remember how hard it was to comprehend for young me back then.

    Metal doesn't need to be loud and aggressive and angry to be heavy. This song and video are proof of that. In my opinion it's probably one of the most heavy metal songs I've ever heard. From Courtney's ethereal pools to just the rest of the man showing their talents and getting dark while having a somber moment. this song is definitely the definition of heavy metal. And you're not the only one who lost their emotions from listening and watching this video.

  • @tantibogusboy

    Courtney and the director of the video both lost their grandmothers at the beginning of the year to Alzheimer’s and couldn’t go to the funerals due to COVID. The director’s grandmother’s name was Constance.

    It is a fucking hard one. I watched my grandfather die day by day, lost my mother to different situation, but similar end result. Had to hold my grandmother's hand and tell her that her daughter died.
    This song and your story just brings it back.
    But it also brings back the best memories. The ones that matter. The ones where you remember all the love they gave you, and refuse to let those memories fade away.

  • @chrisp.14

    Okay, it seems odd to comment once again here. But obviously that song did something incredibly good to me because it is like it is. I suffer from depression my whole life (fucked up childhood what I realized much later, because it seemed to be okay like it was because I was used to it), and one of the things that i kind of have "unlearned" was the ability to cry. In my childhood it was a thing that I suppressed because they made me feel like a weakling when I started crying, also by commenting some bullshit that made me feel even worse. So i blocked myself crying and swallowed the sorrows and the negativity. With my "friends" it was pretty much the same, they just laughed at that pussyboy. And even though I have an enormous long relationship of almost 20 years which is really strong and even though we are aware how much we love each other, my ability to cry was almost zero.
    This song and also your honest, pure reaction kind of healed a big wound inside me because I could not stop crying or at least have tears in my eyes, every time I watched the video or a reaction to it in which the reactors also were completely emotionally overwhelmed. Even the second night when I watched the video and the reactions to it for almost two hours, i just went to bed and cried myself to sleep. I talked to my wife after this night and almost lost myself again - and it felt so good to be able to release those emotions again. Thanks to Spiritbox, thanks to you and thanks to all the others that have been reacting the same way as we did. Much love from Berlin. Feel yourself hugged.
    Just thinking of this song and have my "inner theatre" and "inner ear" playing this song makes me feel incredibly emotional. Oh my.... after several days off, it's my first day at work tomorrow again, and I hope it doesn't come over me there...

    Not sure if anyone has shared this but here's an excerpt from an interview with Courtney LaPlante about the song:
    "Due to border shut downs, I was not able to say goodbye to my grandmother Phyllis, to whom the song is in tribute, or attend her funeral. I always promised her that I would sing at her memorial service, because she always requested a 'pretty song with none of that scary screaming.' I hoped writing this song with no 'scary screaming' in it would help me find a sense of closure."
    "Dylan (video director) wrote his video concept to honor his grandmother, Constance to whom the video is in tribute. Our music videos usually have a horror element to them, and we wanted to explore a different side of horror: the horror of feeling like your mind is betraying you, due to a long battle with dementia. With Dylan's permission, we named the song 'Constance' to immortalize her story."

    The impact increases when you realise that family pictures have been disappearing throughout the video before the furniture and the relatives are gone by the end. And there's also Constance's husband's shadow watching over her during the first pre-chorus at 4:47 and at 5:44.
    It's not just a good song anymore. A video that has great artistry such as this coupled with music written with absolute sincerity makes an entire experience like no other.

    I reacted very much the same way to this song!!! I caught it on UA-cam about an hour after Spiritbox dropped it, and watched it immediately. Then I quit UA-cam for the night. It hit me right in the heart! I'm 42 and in the last three years have lost 3 grandparents and welcomed the birth of my first child. This song reminded me of every loss that I've had and what I will likely see to come. Such an emotionally HEAVY song, but SO beautiful. I also saw you check out "Rule of Nines" so I'm glad that you got another experience of Spiritbox without the hammer blow of this emotional rollercoaster that we middle-aged folk know all too well!!! Love your channel, love the reaction/breakdown. Keep up the good work!
