I'm sorry to hear you feel that way about the lines you don't agree with. They're written to try and get you to think about what is going on on both sides of a tragedy like a school shooting or suicide. You're probably right, the parents of the victims of school shootings probably 99% wouldn't agree, but for the rest of us at least a step removed, the only real way we can stop the cycle of violence is to understand why it's happening in the first place. If it gets to the point where you need teachers with guns, or door blocking devices, or whatever, we've already failed. We need to understand and help the kids who for one reason or another think that this is the answer to whatever they're dealing with. I'm not trying to say that kids should be coddled or hidden away from everything; maybe, for example, what one shooter needed was someone who gave a damn to step in a long time before that and give them some structure. Who knows?
There was that school shooter recently who was confronted by a teacher who got him to put his gun down for a hug....so maybe some are just so desperate for anyone to notice their pain..a s imple hug could change things...
For the "reaching out for love" perspective, check out Jeremy by Pearl Jam.
Love thy neighbor, including the ones who turn to violence for attention. You don't have to approve of their choices to understand them.
I could totally see you were NOT expecting this one. Great tune! POD out of my hometown San Diego! They were reaching out for SOMEthing...with unfortunate results. Seems to me the song is about troubled youth and the BS they have to deal with sometimes. Epiphany says....'hurt' people hurt people. I don't think the girl is a prostitute per se but rather a girl who just wants to fit in and hang out with people...to be liked and she resorts to using sex to accomplish that. Gotta love song facts!! Jeremy by Pearl Jam is another song about bullying in school. It's not just about the way kids are treated in school, by each other or staff, it's about society in general....people just don't care anymore. The philosophy "It takes a village to raise a child" died a long time ago. Great reaction!
I am a Millennial and this song came out when I was in school. It was it was huge and eye opening at the time. It's sad we are still experiencing these things and have barely learned anything after all these years.
This is one of those songs that just demands your attention when it comes on. Incredible drums and guitar work, but so serious and dark for the most part. I see the song "Jeremy" by Pearl jam is being suggested to you. My only request is that if you do give "Jeremy" a listen, please find the uncensored version of the video. Only the last few seconds of the it were edited by MTV for reasons they thought were justified, but the impact of the song and video are softened somewhat by the edit. Definitely worth your time though. One final thought: if the youth of our nation were more like you young man, then I truly believe our world will survive the chaos currently enveloping it. Your thoughtful, intelligent reactions to the topics of these songs I've watched you react to give me hope that my grandson will grow up in a better world where faith, hope and love reign supreme over greed, pride and prejudice. Thank you for giving me that.
Unfortunately, this situation never changes. I've been out of school over 3 decades now. I've known girls that fit the mold (we called it Daddy Issues back then), I've had more than one friend kill himself back in my school days and I've known crazies who brought knives and guns to school on a daily basis (luckily none of them started shooting up the place but more than one tried knifing people). My little cousin is 20 yrs younger than me. She's experienced all this herself. Her former boyfriend was a weapons nut, her best friend definitely "tries finding love in all the wrong places" and she had a friend OD just a couple of years ago intentionally. I always hoped we'd see things get better, but they're still the same.
Fabulous song that will always resonate with our children year after year. and adults). It is scary but a good lesson here for us all. I lost my son suddenly at 37. Non the less I talked to him before work and a half hour later he was gone. Huh ur kids and ALWAYS make sure they know how loved they are.
SADLY we all struggle to “FIT IN”
It's not an Anthem, it is reality!
I'm a retired high school teacher. (History was my main area.) I found that most of my students were pretty normal people. In fact, their lives were overwhelmingly ordinary, as far as I could tell. School shooters are wildly uncommon among the millions of kids in high school. The kids in my school were (for the most part) pretty good human beings, even if it was really hard to get them to do the reading. :-)
Feels like a song where you have to take a deep breath after hearing it. Really deep.
P.O.D
P=Payable
O=On
D=Death
P.O.D. A great band spreading the "good news" to an unbelieving world.
Their top song was Alive, that came out less then one month before September 11, 2001.
Please check out 2 songs off their Testify album called Roots In Stereo and Strength of My Life, not for a reaction just F.Y.E. Its POD(Christianity) and Matisyahu(Judaism) coming together to represent G-D's unity. Kinda like old testament meets new testament. Please enjoy.
This song provokes thought regardless of how one feels. The cycle hasn't stopped.
POD rocks it, Youth of a Nation, is a powerful, deep look into how life is short and every minute counts. Sad that so many youth are starving for love, to feel like they are someone and not invisible. Thanx Daniel
Another first trifecta!!
Okay Daniel, what the heck is going on???...Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, then Tears In Heaven then this one???
So here is my take... from the line “the blind leading the blind”. IMO there are way to many people having children that don’t really know what a healthy family system looks like. Or how to effectively provide for the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual needs of a child. It seems to go on generation after generation. I think the school shooter felt invisible. Ignored and dismissed first by the people closest to him that should have been listening to and validating his thoughts and feelings and teaching him how to express and cope in healthy ways. Then by the peers that perceived him as someone who wasn’t worth acknowledging. Yes millions of people go through the same type of issues growing up ( including myself) and don’t become mass murderers to get noticed.
So ultimately I’m placing blame where it belongs, on the shooter!! The 12 year old girl was not unlike millions of others...longing to be loved but not knowing how to love themselves enough to set boundaries.
You give me hope for your generation though 👍🏻
I love how you broke down the lyrics, every reaction video that hears "instead of taking the test I took 2 to the chest" they always react with damn! And their eyes get all wide lol
Thanks for do this reaction🙏👍
this song is so deep on diffrent levels we dont get these any more
Only the YOUTH of the nation grows OLD
I actually was listening another commentor when l stumbled across yours. Really appreciate your insight on this song. WHEN you focused on the victims of a persons issues.
I think you missed the point a little. These are the things that we were actually going through at this time. The singer wrote the song. The last verse basically sums it up. Why is this happening? What was the cause? Who knows why this is happening to us? Who is leading us through this mess that is life.
I took from the song that the people who end up taking such extreme measures are still people and not some monsters or caricatures of pure evil. They are often driven to this because they don't see any escape and are depraved of any help. This doesn't mean that the acts in themselves are not still horrible, but the solution to preventing them might be deeper than chastising them. To get too the root of these problems uncomfortable aspects of society and the human psyche have to be talked about and this song unapologetically touches on many of these aspects.
Agree. 100%.
Clicked on the video for the reaction for the song. Stayed for the unexpected dry humor
P.O.D. Am I awake.
P. Payable O. On D. Death... why some want to live forever... : l
Of course there's those who know why things like this happen. Evil and suffering exist as a symptom of sin. We're all guilty and all need to be saved from it. I'm grateful we serve a loving and graceful God who offers rest and rescue from all sin and suffering as well as justice for every criminal of His law.
Names of victims sometimes require family permission.
Well, if you're stretching your reactions chronologically beyond Classic Rock, may I suggest "Drown With Me" by Porcupine Tree (The video marked Album quality), the studio version.
maybe they were reaching out for any drip of love that could come from anyone but they most likely were rejected by everyone but to the extent they even started rejected there own self at that point i need to show the world that i reject you and me maybe or there just pshycopaths i dont know but the song just hits different !!!
POD stands for Payment On Death. They are a Christian rock/rap band.
Payable On Death is what P.O.D means.
Southtown is their best song.👍great reaction
It’s hard to sympathize with a mass murderer but you have to acknowledge what lead them to do it and what they lacked or thought they lacked or we will never understand why these things continue to happen. It’s important to think and atleast try to sympathize with a murderer to truly understand their motive so you can see how to prevent it in the future. Though I will say if someone killed someone I loved I would instantly put their thoughts aside and only want to worst for them so it’s just a very hard topic to understand and feel. I hope that was a coherent thought.
Could be parenting could be a lot deeper. How about a reflection of society how we treat each other. We don't tend to invite everyone in as we are taught we have a base of friends we do this to ourselves. How about since women are in the workforce as well as dad they have their bad days and vent and say how could your day be so bad you go to school. You don't have the pressures us adults have must keep our jobs because morgage car payments foid electric etc. Etc. We don't look and download our kids problems so we can find what is going on there why they don't have friends etc. People are self consumed with their own issues to help anyone else with theirs. So those that are outcast remain that way there is no parent at home when the cone hone maybe not for hours and when they get home they are upset wumith their day Johny didn't do his chores get dinner ready. Coach the kids in sports run them around here and there when the day is finally over its bed time. Johny never got to download his day and it builds up day after day until they snap. No friends parents not really there even if they were. No outlet for stress for johny just a cycle that repeats itself over and over. Could be like in my case single mom 3 kids went to a different school each year etc. How do you make friends or why make friends im just moving soon. So many external pressures events. I quit school in 10th grade but I guess I had higher expectations for myself as I became a master plumber medical biller computer builder teacher in middle and then high school. Middle school sub. Then I became full time in special ed. I taught kids with autism in middle and high school. People need to find a purpose to the end. If you don't aspire to something and it can have back up aspirations. My plumbing days ended because smashed nerves both hands etc. Teaching ended for 2 reasons bad knees I fell twice breaking ribs within a calander year plus I was retired and the retirement agency gave me an ultimatum quit or retirement canceled. I also was an insurance agent and had vending machines. Glad I was stronger for what I went through as a kid it made me stronger later on. But not everyone is the same, some give up on life and point guns at those who wronged them or who they feel wronged them or just say I'm leaving how many can I take with me. Maybe this will help someone or explain what is happening out there. This would be a 300 page text if I don't cut it short here. We all have issues some can handle them others don't have a clue how to handle it and give up.
Great breakdown sir, although with journalism while im just as critical as you are with them they dont have a say in putting the names of fallen family members that is up to the parents to disclose that information. Im with you though parents/guardians should not disclose that info that should be public to get the message out as far as humanly possible.
P.O.D. is on the short list of explicitly religious modern artists that I, an atheist, can enjoy. (Neal Morse is another). Genuinely great art with a great perspective.
Dissect Spotlight by David Allan Coe.
This track is very hard to hear, BUT, It really needs to be HEARD!
I love that this song cuts through the bs about school shootings, and addresses the ignored darkness in American children. Marilyn Manson phrased it best when he was asked what he would say to the families of the victims and survivors of Columbine: “I wouldn’t say a single word to them, I’d listen to what they have to say. And that’s what no one did.”
So, how do we stop this?
I doubt we can. We help those who need it, and fight corruption and cruelty, but we cannot truly change others if they are unwilling to change.
I always thought lyrics were “told the world how he felt with the sound of a cap.” Like, he shot himself.
A "Gat" is a gun, he did shoot himself.
@@DiconDissectionalReactions Hmmmm. Never heard that term before.
@@theubercaste Found a definition: Noun. gat (plural gats) (archaic, slang, in old westerns) A Gatling gun. (originally 1920s gangster slang) Any type of gun, usually a pistol.
Of course I could be wrong, that's what the google lyrics said. They aren't always right...
@@DiconDissectionalReactions Yes, I follow your reasoning. I'm just saying "gat" seems a bit archaic where as "bustin' a cap in yo'..." is more current. No biggie. Just sayin.
Next song: Jeremy by Pearl Jam
P.O.D means Payment on Demand. They are a Christian rock group :)
“Maybe he was just reaching out for love”... bad attention is better than no attention.
So you do realize that it’s not about whether you agree or not right you can’t agree or disagree with someone else’s thoughts like for instance like you were saying about the part maybe he was reaching out for love yeah that could’ve been the way he was thinking because some people can’t separate negative attention from positive attention As long as it’s attention so any attention that they get whether it being negative or positive it’s someone showing them attention so in their mind it’s someone showing them love because they’re acknowledging them in some way shape form or fashion be it negative or positive and that’s a sad fact of life that that is how some people think.
