I know this is a reaction channel for our entertainment but I just wanna say I'm terribly sorry you had to go thru that and I hop you can let it keep making you strong er and keep your head up. Stay strong. And thank you for doing these reactions.
In my opinion songs like Darkness are the the magnus opum when it comes to the musical artform, crafted out with a uncomparable amount of detail and work, made to raise awareness and a true reason behind it's existence. One of a kind.
The funny thing about this is that UA-cam never recommends this song and the majority of the public are getting offended and going on the news to just shit on it. That’s why it only has 40+ million views, UA-cam and the mainstream media are trying their best to hide this song
The similarities between what the media is portraying now with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmad Arbury in comparison with this should not be overlooked. This was a terrible tragedy, and it should always be remembered as such. But should the police killing innocent men and women also be treated as domestic terrorists? I think they should, because their motive, as we see it now, is to instill fear into the Black community and those who stand with them as people who deserve a different treatment than whites or anyone who sides with the BLM movement. Instead, the cops using and abusive their use of force or power should be the ones that are "terrorizing" normal, upstanding citizens standing up for what is right instead of bowing down to them because they passed some arbitrary test to "deserve" their power instead of earning it by their actions. There are good cops, but we have to start somewhere by getting rid of the bad ones.
Crazy huh.. a country full of people that don't want to be told how to think... its almost like this country was founded on freedom.. allowing the media to manipulate you is a form of slavery, no thank you. Ill do my own research and make my decisions based on facts, not emotions.
Stephen Crane or maybe one would hope that by now one would realize that “politics” is the only it can change. That she’d understand that if she truly doesn’t want someone else to have to go through that, legislation is the only key. Staying stagnant and paying no mind to what the government does is the most surefire way to ensure that this shit happens over and over and over again. In the case of this guy (www.reviewjournal.com/crime/shootings/las-vegas-shooting-survivor-killed-in-california-bar-during-attack-1522422/) it can happen to the same person.
@@thetruth777 oh yes, the country of all hopes and dreams and... uh mass shootings. But sure, let`s not talk about that. And the facts are clear, America has like a mass shooting per year(at least), yet sure this is all emotions. It´s crazy how this happens in a so claimed developed country...
The "Hello Darkness, my old friend" sample from Simon and Garfunkel is deep. Not many samples go back as far as 1963 (The year Kennedy was assassinated, from a gun aimed from a window overlooking the excited crowd that was simply there for a day of fun, a celebrity having come to town). This genius stuff is 7 levels deep.
The thing I find that’s crazy too is that “ Sound of Silence “ is about people knowing all these bad things in the world yet we don’t talk about it and keep ourselves in the Darkness.. and Em used a song about the silence to speak up about Gun Violence.. he’s literally responding to the song he’s sampling.. genius 🐐
Watching her relive her worst nightmare is heartbreaking, You and everyone who has gone through something like that are the bravest people in the world Stay strong.
I remember when the video came out, nobody knew it was about Las Vegas shooting. there was no note at the beginning. It blew my mind when they showed the shooter (in the part where he smashed the window). i thought the whole time, he was talking about some kind of depression. Man, thats why hes a genius in my opinion
Yea I watched the night it was released and I caught on to what it was about once I saw the duffel bag.. but even though I wasn't there that night.. I remember all the news clippings and live videos from concert go-ers.. I remember the screams and people running across the streets, jumping into the nearest cars that were just driving by.. it had to have been so scary. Just watching a survivor from that night react to this was so uncomfortable. I can't imagine how she felt.
it honestly kind of ruins it that they forced Em to put that in probably. Even though he had links at the end of the video for help and to vote on change. :( it loses it's impact
@@troy65741 because when it came out a midnight with no hints from anyone obviously going in blind as all hell you wouldn't know. Especially without that warning at the beginning (like when it was first out)
Girl....you’re stronger than me. I was there that night and zero way I could record myself watching this..I don’t know why I keep watching stuff from that night... but I do. Massive props to you for this.
My friend shot up our school but it wasn't a mass murder he only killed two people before he took his own life, one of the people was an ex who cheated on him with a guy who bullied my friend. I was good friends with him and I was friends with his ex but I was mad at her for what she did at the time. The day before he did it he told me he was gonna shoot someone tomorrow but he said it in such a joking non serious way and he seemed perfectly fine too. No one would have suspected he was serious nor have reported it, the next day he shot her in the temple right in front of me then her boyfriend 3 times in the chest before aiming it back at himself and taking his own life. It all happened so fast, I still vividly remember the surreal feeling I got, the smell in the air that day. The exact conversation I was having word for word before blood splattered on my left arm and my right hand. Something needs to change, and the first thing is mental health awareness. USA's mental healthcare system is a joke, I've had 2 friends come out from them worse than what they were when they went in and almost nothing is taken seriously until it's too late.
@@ceezeeemowndeadzombie4014 The point of darkness and what I said is to prove that mental illness or psychotic breaks aren't always shown, some people are unpredictable. We both had a dark sense of humor and he said it in a sarcastic way, their was zero indication or reason to believe he would do it. Do I regret it? Sometimes, but I try not to blame myself for something no one could of handled any better than me but sometimes I fail at trying. I took a career up in psychology to try and understand myself more and why people make these decisions so I know more about human behavior than you and even I am telling you him going from a funny kid full of light to a murderer was not foreseeable. But keep blaming me for it, as if I don't hear about it enough.
@@ceezeeemowndeadzombie4014 wtf if everyone called the police when someone threatens to kill someone else the police would be inundated with calls! How was he supposed to know his mate was serious! Comments like yours don't help ! You should be ashamed of yourself and delete that comment! Peace from a proud Englishman!
@@rickychristopher1578 Doesn't matter dumb ass. It's 2020. If someone says they're going to shoot someone at a school you report it. You're an idiot if you don't.
Great reaction, and hope you're still doing okay. But just please don't dismiss the ending of the video as 'political'. I thought the same when I saw the 'vote' word, but it's very serious. Idk how much research you ended up doing on the shooter, but the way he obtained his weapons were all totally legal, and THAT'S the point of this track: to vote for some gun reform/control. Just because someone is mentally stable and has no criminal record doesn't mean they should have UNLIMITED weaponry. And the craziest thing is even after that shooting NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. This track is trying to make people realize that and make a difference so it doesn't happen again.
There are too many gun laws as is. Over 300 federal firearm regulations and over 20,000 local and state firearm regulations. The government has already vastly overstepped. Don’t beg to the government to have your rights taken away.
It's absolutely political. He wants political solutions to put restrictions on an amendment. I'm from Flint, MI, 45 min north of Em, so I've loved him since the late 90s, but I'm deeply opposed to his take, despite the brilliance of the song.
@@davidvaughn9 I agree, I guess I meant there's more to it than just politics regarding voting specifically. People just see 'vote' and somewhat dismiss what they've been presented bc they think it's pushing an agenda for personal gain. I was trying to avoid that. But I agree his intention is to make political change. Tbh I'm not sure what his exact stance on it is but it's clear that he's pointing out that someone with no history of mental illness can purchase military grade weaponry capable of murdering dozens/hundreds, and then one day snap and use that arsenal; and this is what happens. What do you disagree on btw?
@@HC-sb5ck just because there are numerous doesn't mean they are good/enough. The point of the video is that someone who was sane can legally purchase these weapons capable of murdering so many and then snap. I don't see why citizens need fully automatic weapons period. All this military grade weaponry open to the public is insanely ridiculous and even more ridiculous you don't see a problem with that. An average Joe shouldn't be able to go out and buy a rocket launcher. What about this is hard to agree with? Why do you feel entitled to own these weapons?
@@vick7848 military grade fully automatic weapons aren’t available to the public 💀💀 you’re either stupid as fuck or a troll. I believe you’re the latter so I will not even try to engage with you.
With this song having such a strong message and as someone who was involved so personally with the incident it was a little weird to ignore the message and put it off as “that’s political” but that’s just me maybe
She's probably the kind of person who knows that 1 vote doesn't mean the whole world's changed she knows if u vote you have change either the law of guns or cut them out entirely and then if u do we could have someone like Trump in office or corrupt politicians then id basically be Dictator-ship plus we have unlicensed guns and other means of Violence like Nukes and Riots
@@dragonfly56flyswatter97 Trump was better than what we have now though. By far. Ever since Biden came into office well over half the entire US currency was created out of thin air. Inflation is gonna fuck us, bro. 🙄
thats is so crazy you mention that , i lived in Orlando and 2016 i was working as a bartering in a club in downtown , and it was a few blocks from pulse nightclub , we al heard the shots started around 2am, the cops showed up around almost 4am, not to mention that the police station was 2 min away , that night was ruff ,that a mass shooting in Orlando was sad crazy horrific
I've watched 100 reactions to this n this song is so underated...the whole song is a double...and the fact that you were there is so surreal...never know when it's your time...
The Sound Of Silence was written a year after JFK was shot from a high vantage point. I don’t think this was a coincidence with Eminem incorporating it into the song.
He had contact with his father but in the end his "father" wasn't really that at all, just a dipshit who decided to leave, so he did see him as it is mentioned in leaving heaven but he never liked him and so that translated into a lot of his music, just the hatred.
Kinda dissapointing to have someone that was there watch this and when a message comes up to do someth ijng about the reaction is "oh that's political." End of discussion. Sigh
That’s the whole problem with American people. Why take my gun if he... Well, I can drive my car 120 miles an hour after drinking 10 beers, but not everyone can. And if people die because of that, you forbid driving 120 with 10 beers. But in some brainmad sitatuation, American people do not apply this logic to guns. Jim Jefferies should be the next American president.
Ct 033 driving 120 when most speed limits only reach 85-90 at most in the US is already illegal, it’s called speeding, and drinking and driving alone is illegal lmao..car accidents kill more people than guns do
This song always hits me hard, especially when it gets to the school shooting parts cuz I have kids and I cant even begin to imagine losing someone close to this type of violence or being there as it happens. My heart goes out to you and I'm glad to see you doing ok. This is my first time on your channel, but I'll be checking out more of it
So I mean, it is a personal track to you, but it is also personal to Eminem. The parallels between his career, being addicted to pills and alcohol, him performing on stage is what this is supposed to represent, but the double meaning is that it's about the shooter as well. I'm not sure how long you've followed Em and his career, but he had a strong addiction to pills and alcohol before he got clean in 2009/2010. It's the tale of 2 sides, him trying to amp himself up with drugs to go out on stage and the shooter. Also if you took away from it that "oh it's just political motivation" then sorry, you don't know what Em was trying to get across. And you should want to change something too, anything to help prevent more circumstances from happening. like.....kind of made it a little weird ya know?
You are mad strong for doing this reaction! I remember seeing one of your NF reactions and i heard you mentioned the the shooting and i couldn't even think of asking you to react to darkness! Hope it helped you in any way! You are a strong woman!
Woa. Hell no. I've seen this video so many times and it hits me every time but for you to gather the strength and watch this is unreal. I went to MBay for a MJ One show and even felt uneasy then cause the cab driver showed us the venue and his daughter was there. She made it. God bless you and may God watch over those lost that day.
This song tells 2 stories 1 the mass shooting from the shooters perspective (the main story told) 2 Eminem's struggle with alcohol and drugs there's a lyrics decoded video you can watch
I live here too..I didn’t go cause it was the country part of the life is beautiful festival. My daughters friend was shot in the head. He just finished hs..😔😔Em did amazing job with this song. He did it perfectly and which such a big platform to make it aware..it’s really amazing. Haven’t been down to the strip since. Glad ur safe xoxo Dee
Never watched your channel before but I really respect you being able to do a reaction like this. I wasn't at this one but I was sitting with my friend who was the shooter at chardon high school right before it happened. We had been friends since we were 5 years old and I remember how twisted up I felt for the next few years after that so I genuinely have a lot of respect for you making this reaction. Its very hard to even think about let alone talk about and relive and you kept composed for the most part throughout the whole reaction.
I am sorry you had to go through what you did... I cannot even imagine what you been through. Just know that we are here for you. Thank you for sharing your story on your other video; I watched and was in tears. Thank you for continuing to do your videos on here. I really enjoying watching you react to different music. Keep it up and stay strong my friend... God is with you
I was looking for this one..... because I watched your story. So glad your ok and your family. God Bless. if you didn't go through it ... people... eventually realize. Big Props for realizing that. So much love to you for reacting to this.
Really just went "that's political" at the end and clicked off. Lol. Nice one, actually involved in a shooting and a message about changing gun laws comes up and it's like a straight "no".
It's crazy, almost like she is so uncomfortable to share her political opinion, that even after a horrible tragedy she is more afraid of being accused of wrong think. Em would have done more for his cause if he hadn't put that last part in imo. Imagine making such a masterpiece, with words crafted by the worlds best word smith, laid out in such a elegant fashion only to bluntly ruin it with a copy paste slogan that's so over politicized, (telling us what to think, and not how) it's lost it's sting long ago. I hate to go off on you, but in my opinion watching her show great emotional control is impressive and gets my respect. There is something sick about "survivors" making political statements. Doesn't matter which side of the isle their on it sickens my soul, even when I agree with them.
Was thinking the same.. it bugs me y some even bother 2 react to songs on UA-cam. 4 someone who claims was there, i expected more than a lame boring reaction.
Siren ....what will making me, a lawful gun owning combat vet, have to jump thru more hoops and pay more money, do to stop crazy pieces of s**t from attaining a stolen gun, or stealing one themselves?!! Omfg STFU with your "more gun control!" bulls**t!
@@branon6565 this guy owned his weapons legally. Yes, gun control won't stop all evil, but it will reduce the amount of shootings and murder. It's just either stupid or shows a severe lack of empathy and care, to refuse something that will lead to less suffering and death, just because it won't stop all suffering and death. At that point, why do anything?
People who think gun control stop murders need to remember the bystander effect... It means that if you witness an awful atrocity in broad daylight and you're powerless to prevent it, said person assumes the some other hero will deal with it. But in a gun control zone nobody is empowered apart from the criminals, so the bystander effect applies to everyone, therefore the atrocities pile up and 5 ppl get killed by one person. Or a robbery goes wrong and the store owner is killed. And nobody in the store is carrying, so they can't stop the owner from being shot in front of their eyes. Wake up man the only thing that can stop gun crime is a time machine and killing the man who invented them. Unfortunately we can't do that so it is better off you just carry your own gun and join the pro rights instead of anti.. because anti only empowers criminals.
God bless you and thank God you are still with us. Thanks for doing this video. I seriously had tears in my eyes the whole time you were talking about the incident.
i cant stop hearing this song my dad was one of the police officers running in when i was running out to save people hes my hero thank you to police and im here for every survivor
He’s showing the prospective of the shooters because you have to have to live a certain way and be raised a certain way that your mistreated in ways you can only understand of that feeling and you snap and feel that feeling your adrenaline raises and you get that feeling to the point we’re you can’t take it and I say this because a lot of shooters are mis under stud and are even treated terribly before and after death which is truly hell in your own perspective
Hey i love eminem reactions but this made me have a different angle as i seen many reactions to this, but i can see how personal and hard this was for you and it took alot of courage to do this, i am going to check your story out now...i am very glad you are okay and i hope you can get some sort of help if that is the right word or not for the shock and after affect this will have on you.....i cant even imagine the perspective you had and how scared it must of been - but thank you as much as i say i enjoyed you i wish this did not happen at all good luck and i hope sooner than later you can somehow in some way put this behind you (the anxiety and constantly thinking of it) as i know you will never forget god bless - Chris
First and foremost I want to thank God for you and provide comfort and hope to the people there, especially the family of those that lost somebody. As well as you and your family. You never have to apologize for the amount of pauses and emotions you let out on here. You was there and you have a different type of emotion than most who wasn't there. Never stop speaking from the heart, its the most effective way to heal as much as possible. Not to mention that there are other people that was there and watch your reactions. Maybe somebody needs to hear a point of view from a person that was there and putting yourself out there may not be the easiest thing to do but the lives you touch could find healing in your words. We got your back as well as God. God Bless you and your family.
@@mayjayyy9605 its no problem at all. Im an emotional person and one thing most people don't realize is that being an emotional person is hell hah it benefits others far more than it benefits us. We hold more hate in ourselves and we show. I realized God made me a certain way because the mental, spiritual and emotional battle we fight is extremely difficult and its so easy to want to change and become someone we're not, but there is always something inside of us that reminds us that its not us. One thing I learned is the Bible says God won't put more on us than we can bare, He never said that we couldn't add to it. The way we respond to a situation is key. Do we keep tripping on the stumbling blocks or turn them into stepping stones. Keep falling of climb higher.
Great to hear Ems reaction to someone that was there. I saw the pain in your face. I hope you've endeared this moment of your life to make you a better person. Heartfelt reaction. I subbed because of this video.
Very hard to watch this video finding out you were there, Emimem is very clever they way he puts together verses, songs and videos, so much respect for the reaction, you gained another sub. 💖
Really sad to hear that you were actually there. But huge props to you for having the strength to watch it and explaining your perspective of the events of that day.
It’s crazy how this whole song is a double entendre because not only is Em speaking on his own perspective, but he’s speaking on the perspective of Paddock when he was in Mandalay Bay AT THE SAME TIME, while also speaking on how mental health could lead to heavy drug use, which then leads to gun violence. Damn. Em is a genius.
I am so sorry you had to experience such a terrible situation firsthand, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reacting to such a strong re-enactment. I hope you are doing well.
You are brave. You are strong. I'm glad you were brave enough to do this, the feels go straight to us viewers. Something I did not think possible from a reaction video. Best Reaction Video Ever.
I can see how uncomfortable this was for you, thank God for your safety, and I'm sorry for all the angles that were lost on that tragic night, thank you for sharing your unfortunate experience
Respect to you for watching this video considering you were there. Eminem got his point across that's why he is one of the greatest rappers of all time.
“Well that’s political” Lmao yeah trying to stop mass shootings from happening in America when they barely happen in other countries.. lol “best country in the world tho” sorry. Hope you have educated yourself since or are better than that. If so I’m sorry
Everything in America is political nowadays unfortunately. People can't even agree on things as open and shut like Mental Health is important, Gun control in many states is shit, Coronavirus is a pandemic and it is killing people, Pedophiles should not be allowed to be politicians, etc etc. It always comes down to the good ol red vs blue
Seriously the artists performing redacted their beliefs on gun control. I can’t fathom the idea someone came out of that experience thinking gun control is political
Saying to vote isn’t stopping mass shootings. Presidents aren’t saying to go out and shoot people, if you’re looking for gun laws, look at Chicago. Highest shooting rate in the country every year yet they have the strictest gun laws. Educate yourself before telling others lmao
To have the strength to react to the video.....that is another step forward. I applaud you for taking the step, and hope each day is another step into a brighter future.
song makes me cry because i didnt want to be alone 25 years ago but i feel it all the time. i remember reading when proof was shot performing, must be what he means i dont want to be alone in the darkness anymore, someone took his friend
Thank you for this. I was working in the ICU where I worked in my state and couldn't imagine being in the ICU during this night in vegas.. thank you for this amazing reaction! Strong girl
Man I really don’t think this song got the credit it deserved. So incredible how he portrays the mindset of an artist about to go on stage, while at the same time portraying the mindset of the Las Vegas shooter. The video itself was so powerful with the intense visuals. If this doesn’t get video of the year then there is something wrong.
@@dakotablount251 Sticking to my point. I know she's had bad past and I understand her but the fact that something important like that is being skipped just doesn't fit well. If you feel it was OK to skip that one want to just talk about judging and sh*t, go reply someone else I don't wanna waste time..
I’m so sorry babe..I love here in Vegas and decided last minute not to go down to life is beautiful. My daughters senior classmate died..very sad but we are Vegas strong that’s NO JOKE!! Much love ~Dee
A co-work was in Vegas a week before this happen, I gave him the idea to go, then the 2nd day back to work we watch this happening live at work and it was shocking he said he would have been down there at the stage he was staying at that hotel ( and literally 2 floors above where the shooter was) and seen the stage getting set up, if I gave him the idea to go a week later he would have been there on that night down there at the show...
I really don’t mean to trash you, and I’m extremely sorry that you had to go through that. But something makes me feel like you are using your position as a mass shooting victim, as a way to make people pity you. Especially the way that you turned off the video as soon as it mentioned the problem we have with guns in this country. Honestly, you really should have paid heed to what this song was talking about.
I'd pity her regardless, if you've ever seen what a high powered rifle bullet does to the human body you'd automatically pity anyone that has to face that defenseless.
This is one of the main reasons why i don't really go to festivals / concerts in America and then we had the suicide bomber in Manchester. I had a friend who was meant to be sitting by the guy with the bomb but didn't go as for some reason it was either they missed a bus or their mum fell ill i dont remember.
When I first listened to this I had no idea of the story behind it I just thought that he was on about a performance, but I had an urge to do research because I ould sense that it was deeper than that. Now that I know about it my heart sinks wheb I hear this song thinking about that monster and all of the innocent lives taken 😔
Thank you for sharing your reaction to this with us as I know it was NOT easy. I wasn't there but this song seems to bring us there when we hear it and Em did a phenomenal job bringing detail to the emotions and meanings. I hope and pray everyday that you and anyone else who has been a part of such senseless and needless acts and tragedies will heal from them in GOOD LIGHT PEACE ✌ AND LOVE 🥰 May Peace be with you!
You've come a long way since then if you can stomach to react to this video. This was the first reaction video I saw of yours and you've earned a sub from me. I've seen many ppl react to this song but this one was the most meaningful. Thank you
As someone who was at the Boston Marathon bombing, and was literally in between the two blasts, I definitely relate to some of your feelings.. hope you're doing well
So sorry you had to go threw this. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to do this reaction. I think this song is crazy how it is a double entandre. It is very creative. But I think of the victims and how hard it must be to re live the pain from that night. I am also a victim of a shooting only I was the only victim it was not a mass shooting. It was more an accident. Anyway I got of point and wanted to tell you i commend you for making this video and having to go threw it all again to make it. I hope u find peace and heal from the trauma as much as possible. All the victims from that night are in my prayers.
I'm sorry you had to go through this. It hurts me just watching the video. Ive actually watched the actual video. This was sad.. my prayers goes out for you and everyone that lost a life and went through this. ❤❤
Eminem is always on deferent level. I watched this because you was there and you witnessed it. That's why I personally loved eminem music. Some popular reactions UA-camrs as Shaq explains what EM try's to says to people see his video to you will get some kind of relief. Stay safe.
How many people have noticed that in the end the tv's are in a shape of America..?? And to you, sorry that you had to experience something so messed up....stay safe!!
This song is absolutely incredible. Loved it from the first time I heard it. It definitely touches on something that’s controversial. As someone who has A. Served in the Marines and has a combat tour and also lived in several states. Some where gun laws are the most strict and some where they are the most lenient I know this isn’t a black and white discussion. It’s a lot of grey area. Crazy/evil men shouldn’t have guns, but at the same time, good men/women should be able to have guns. Making guns illegal won’t stop criminals from owning them, we see that in New Jersey, LA, philly, Chicago etc. and we don’t wanna take away guns from good people while criminals still have them. BUT, at the same time we need to prevent crazy people with clean records from having guns. The problem is no one wants to compromise. The left doesn’t wanna don’t guns can be used for good and the right doesn’t want to admit that it’s too easy to get guns. Both can be true. There’s people like the vegas shooter who can hurt so many with a gun but there is also men like Steven Williford from Sutherland springs who stopped a mass shooter with his personal AR-15 when he heard gun shots coming from a church and ran there barefoot and then chased and killed the active shooter before he could go to the next 5 churches he had planned to shoot up. I wish people would hear this song and think about it. It’s better to come together and discuss this issue and find a way where everyone wins rather than having too much pride and trying to just win for yourself.
Eminem is just on another level compared to other rappers. When Darkness came out, youtube made it hard to find, I Can only guess it's because it's got a Powerful Political Message. Sorry you had to go through this terrible event,
At the end of the video, the new broadcast that mentioned the food festival in Northern California... I was there, with my 3 year old. I feel your pain, I'm glad the 3 of us are healthy, but the pain lingers
Love from England ❤️ hope your well and everyone that's suffered and still suffering due to this horrific event that unfortunately occured No place for this nowhere !!!!!!!
I don’t even have words that would make the slightest difference. I had friends who were there as well...I actually left Vegas to go to Cali a month before for work and remember all the phone calls I made to people trying to make sure they were ok. Shortly after we were evacuating our hospital outside of LA due to fires and come to find out there was a shooting at the Borderline Bar and Grill just down the road...Can’t even describe how my heart was breaking while watching this...didn’t even make it all the way through. Stay strong 🖤
USA is such a depressive country it is insane... Mental illness and depressions are being ignored and not taken seriously and look what happens. I am not living in America and I am glad for this. You guys need to change something...
Your reaction made me so sad :( I get chills anytime I hear this song because I to was involved in a shooting at my school that changed my life. Happened in 2017 and I still can’t get over it don’t think I will ever get over it.
I clicked on your reaction because your title said that you were there. I'm so sorry that you experienced a mass shooting. Having seen this video before, I really wasn't sure you could make it through the whole thing without having to stop. You surprised me. You have shown yourself to be a very strong person. Your comments during the video were perfect. Thank you for your perspective. I'm wishing you all the best that life has to offer. ❤
It's hard, people are people and sometimes when they hit this point of no return, no one can see that because your actions are so destructive that they can't see what hurt led you to that because you ended up doing so much harm that that's all people can focus on, because that's also completely human. And like for someone like you who went through a thing like that, that no one can imagine until it's you, you know? It's hard, not like we can ask you to sit there and sympathize with this guy. But like he's part of the human condition, he's symptomatic of something within society and we can't fix it without understanding. He thinks he's doing the only thing he can do to express what he's going through, but all it does is obscure what he's going through and create more hurt. I sincerely wish we could all love each other and try to reach each other long before this happens. And of course my heart goes out to the victims first and foremost of shootings such as this, but my brain wants to understand what it is that drives this type of thing and how to gain meaning from it too. Thanks for your reaction, means a lot that you were willing to share it with us.

The whole song is a double entandre between eminem before taking the stage to do a show and the through the mind of paddock
It’s a triple it deals with his drug issues too
ITS A TRIPLE ... INCREDIBLE
Ok I'm glad other people picked up on the triple I thought it was just me
I know this is a reaction channel for our entertainment but I just wanna say I'm terribly sorry you had to go thru that and I hop you can let it keep making you strong er and keep your head up. Stay strong. And thank you for doing these reactions.
Its also when em was addicted to drugs
This song is “Stan”-level deep.
Its more deep because of the details and the reality of the situation
Deeper than Stan...
Came rewatch this because it's too deep..
From Soweto South Africa
Bro white America is "deep"
@@monarchgupta2712 the term "white america" is stupid its called the melting pot dumbass
@@emersontrench1354 he was referring to the song White America by Eminem… dumbass.
In my opinion songs like Darkness are the the magnus opum when it comes to the musical artform, crafted out with a uncomparable amount of detail and work, made to raise awareness and a true reason behind it's existence. One of a kind.
This song and stan
The funny thing about this is that UA-cam never recommends this song and the majority of the public are getting offended and going on the news to just shit on it. That’s why it only has 40+ million views, UA-cam and the mainstream media are trying their best to hide this song
The similarities between what the media is portraying now with George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmad Arbury in comparison with this should not be overlooked. This was a terrible tragedy, and it should always be remembered as such. But should the police killing innocent men and women also be treated as domestic terrorists? I think they should, because their motive, as we see it now, is to instill fear into the Black community and those who stand with them as people who deserve a different treatment than whites or anyone who sides with the BLM movement. Instead, the cops using and abusive their use of force or power should be the ones that are "terrorizing" normal, upstanding citizens standing up for what is right instead of bowing down to them because they passed some arbitrary test to "deserve" their power instead of earning it by their actions. There are good cops, but we have to start somewhere by getting rid of the bad ones.
Thats deep!!
“Detail” *guy pulls bolt carrier back on sniper rifle*. *proceeds to shoot full auto out of a bolt action sniper rifle*
"Licenced owner with no prior convictions" hits hard everytime
Man, it’s really hard to witness someone reliving their worst trauma. Hope you’re ok
I dont think shes got no trauma
lol
She was probably there on day 1 and not day 3 but yeah “I was there” lol
Nothin but haters man. And what if you guys are wrong and she was there? Ya’ll would feel like assfaces
@@atlbraves1983 she literally said that she was one of the people that was running during the shooting. Listen before you assume
'thats political' and shuts it off and doesn't wanna talk about it, America in a nutshell
Crazy huh.. a country full of people that don't want to be told how to think... its almost like this country was founded on freedom.. allowing the media to manipulate you is a form of slavery, no thank you. Ill do my own research and make my decisions based on facts, not emotions.
Or maybe it's a sensitive subject and doesn't feel up to having a discussion on something that effected her so much? Don't be so quick to judge.
Stephen Crane or maybe one would hope that by now one would realize that “politics” is the only it can change. That she’d understand that if she truly doesn’t want someone else to have to go through that, legislation is the only key. Staying stagnant and paying no mind to what the government does is the most surefire way to ensure that this shit happens over and over and over again. In the case of this guy (www.reviewjournal.com/crime/shootings/las-vegas-shooting-survivor-killed-in-california-bar-during-attack-1522422/) it can happen to the same person.
@@thetruth777 oh yes, the country of all hopes and dreams and... uh mass shootings.
But sure, let`s not talk about that. And the facts are clear, America has like a mass shooting per year(at least), yet sure this is all emotions. It´s crazy how this happens in a so claimed developed country...
Yes, the solution in big bold letters in your screen and just turning it off as political? Realy🤷🏾♂️
The "Hello Darkness, my old friend" sample from Simon and Garfunkel is deep. Not many samples go back as far as 1963 (The year Kennedy was assassinated, from a gun aimed from a window overlooking the excited crowd that was simply there for a day of fun, a celebrity having come to town). This genius stuff is 7 levels deep.
The thing I find that’s crazy too is that “ Sound of Silence “ is about people knowing all these bad things in the world yet we don’t talk about it and keep ourselves in the Darkness.. and Em used a song about the silence to speak up about Gun Violence.. he’s literally responding to the song he’s sampling.. genius 🐐
and years later, nothings changed@@douglasmijangos3327
Watching her relive her worst nightmare is heartbreaking, You and everyone who has gone through something like that are the bravest people in the world Stay strong.
I remember when the video came out, nobody knew it was about Las Vegas shooting. there was no note at the beginning. It blew my mind when they showed the shooter (in the part where he smashed the window). i thought the whole time, he was talking about some kind of depression. Man, thats why hes a genius in my opinion
Yea I watched the night it was released and I caught on to what it was about once I saw the duffel bag.. but even though I wasn't there that night.. I remember all the news clippings and live videos from concert go-ers.. I remember the screams and people running across the streets, jumping into the nearest cars that were just driving by.. it had to have been so scary. Just watching a survivor from that night react to this was so uncomfortable. I can't imagine how she felt.
it honestly kind of ruins it that they forced Em to put that in probably. Even though he had links at the end of the video for help and to vote on change. :( it loses it's impact
I always knew this was about Vegas how could you not know that
@@troy65741 at the first minute the video and song came out, you already knew it was about the vegas shooting? Good for you mate 😅
@@troy65741 because when it came out a midnight with no hints from anyone obviously going in blind as all hell you wouldn't know. Especially without that warning at the beginning (like when it was first out)
Girl....you’re stronger than me. I was there that night and zero way I could record myself watching this..I don’t know why I keep watching stuff from that night... but I do. Massive props to you for this.
My friend shot up our school but it wasn't a mass murder he only killed two people before he took his own life, one of the people was an ex who cheated on him with a guy who bullied my friend. I was good friends with him and I was friends with his ex but I was mad at her for what she did at the time. The day before he did it he told me he was gonna shoot someone tomorrow but he said it in such a joking non serious way and he seemed perfectly fine too. No one would have suspected he was serious nor have reported it, the next day he shot her in the temple right in front of me then her boyfriend 3 times in the chest before aiming it back at himself and taking his own life. It all happened so fast, I still vividly remember the surreal feeling I got, the smell in the air that day. The exact conversation I was having word for word before blood splattered on my left arm and my right hand.
Something needs to change, and the first thing is mental health awareness. USA's mental healthcare system is a joke, I've had 2 friends come out from them worse than what they were when they went in and almost nothing is taken seriously until it's too late.
Jesus!! I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Mental Illness is such a real thing...... it’s heartbreaking
Sounds like you should've been arrested.
@@ceezeeemowndeadzombie4014 The point of darkness and what I said is to prove that mental illness or psychotic breaks aren't always shown, some people are unpredictable. We both had a dark sense of humor and he said it in a sarcastic way, their was zero indication or reason to believe he would do it. Do I regret it? Sometimes, but I try not to blame myself for something no one could of handled any better than me but sometimes I fail at trying.
I took a career up in psychology to try and understand myself more and why people make these decisions so I know more about human behavior than you and even I am telling you him going from a funny kid full of light to a murderer was not foreseeable. But keep blaming me for it, as if I don't hear about it enough.
@@ceezeeemowndeadzombie4014 wtf if everyone called the police when someone threatens to kill someone else the police would be inundated with calls! How was he supposed to know his mate was serious! Comments like yours don't help ! You should be ashamed of yourself and delete that comment! Peace from a proud Englishman!
@@rickychristopher1578 Doesn't matter dumb ass. It's 2020. If someone says they're going to shoot someone at a school you report it. You're an idiot if you don't.
One of the most powerful things about the song is that when it comes to the shooting it's not "watered down". It has shock value.
Great reaction, and hope you're still doing okay.
But just please don't dismiss the ending of the video as 'political'. I thought the same when I saw the 'vote' word, but it's very serious. Idk how much research you ended up doing on the shooter, but the way he obtained his weapons were all totally legal, and THAT'S the point of this track: to vote for some gun reform/control. Just because someone is mentally stable and has no criminal record doesn't mean they should have UNLIMITED weaponry. And the craziest thing is even after that shooting NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. This track is trying to make people realize that and make a difference so it doesn't happen again.
There are too many gun laws as is. Over 300 federal firearm regulations and over 20,000 local and state firearm regulations. The government has already vastly overstepped. Don’t beg to the government to have your rights taken away.
It's absolutely political. He wants political solutions to put restrictions on an amendment. I'm from Flint, MI, 45 min north of Em, so I've loved him since the late 90s, but I'm deeply opposed to his take, despite the brilliance of the song.
@@davidvaughn9 I agree, I guess I meant there's more to it than just politics regarding voting specifically. People just see 'vote' and somewhat dismiss what they've been presented bc they think it's pushing an agenda for personal gain. I was trying to avoid that.
But I agree his intention is to make political change. Tbh I'm not sure what his exact stance on it is but it's clear that he's pointing out that someone with no history of mental illness can purchase military grade weaponry capable of murdering dozens/hundreds, and then one day snap and use that arsenal; and this is what happens.
What do you disagree on btw?
@@HC-sb5ck just because there are numerous doesn't mean they are good/enough. The point of the video is that someone who was sane can legally purchase these weapons capable of murdering so many and then snap. I don't see why citizens need fully automatic weapons period. All this military grade weaponry open to the public is insanely ridiculous and even more ridiculous you don't see a problem with that. An average Joe shouldn't be able to go out and buy a rocket launcher.
What about this is hard to agree with? Why do you feel entitled to own these weapons?
@@vick7848 military grade fully automatic weapons aren’t available to the public 💀💀 you’re either stupid as fuck or a troll. I believe you’re the latter so I will not even try to engage with you.
With this song having such a strong message and as someone who was involved so personally with the incident it was a little weird to ignore the message and put it off as “that’s political” but that’s just me maybe
She's probably the kind of person who knows that 1 vote doesn't mean the whole world's changed she knows if u vote you have change either the law of guns or cut them out entirely and then if u do we could have someone like Trump in office or corrupt politicians then id basically be Dictator-ship plus we have unlicensed guns and other means of Violence like Nukes and Riots
Thats me too
@@dragonfly56flyswatter97 Trump was better than what we have now though. By far. Ever since Biden came into office well over half the entire US currency was created out of thin air. Inflation is gonna fuck us, bro. 🙄
@@RandomVids0987 inflation is due to the on going pandemic, nothing to do with Biden doofus
@@dragonfly56flyswatter97 dude what
thats is so crazy you mention that , i lived in Orlando and 2016 i was working as a bartering in a club in downtown , and it was a few blocks from pulse nightclub , we al heard the shots started around 2am, the cops showed up around almost 4am, not to mention that the police station was 2 min away , that night was ruff ,that a mass shooting in Orlando was sad crazy horrific
Eminem is just a lyrical genius he makes you feel emotions you never knew you had
I've watched 100 reactions to this n this song is so underated...the whole song is a double...and the fact that you were there is so surreal...never know when it's your time...
This is why I love rap. Such intelligent, visceral lyrics. Hit so hard. Great reaction.
The Sound Of Silence was written a year after JFK was shot from a high vantage point. I don’t think this was a coincidence with Eminem incorporating it into the song.
when Eminem talked about the father he was also relating to himself as he had no relationship with his father
Yes i think he never saw him
Martin Kollar he hasn’t at all. Have you listen ems song leaving heaven. It talks about his father.
He had contact with his father but in the end his "father" wasn't really that at all, just a dipshit who decided to leave, so he did see him as it is mentioned in leaving heaven but he never liked him and so that translated into a lot of his music, just the hatred.
This is without a doubt the deepest most emotional song of Eminem's career
Kinda dissapointing to have someone that was there watch this and when a message comes up to do someth ijng about the reaction is "oh that's political." End of discussion. Sigh
Chris you are 1000% correct
why because not everyone is a gun grabbing nut case ?
That’s the whole problem with American people. Why take my gun if he...
Well, I can drive my car 120 miles an hour after drinking 10 beers, but not everyone can. And if people die because of that, you forbid driving 120 with 10 beers.
But in some brainmad sitatuation, American people do not apply this logic to guns.
Jim Jefferies should be the next American president.
Maybe she doesnt agree with the message? Even if she does agree and doesnt want to get into politics on her channel that's her decision
Ct 033 driving 120 when most speed limits only reach 85-90 at most in the US is already illegal, it’s called speeding, and drinking and driving alone is illegal lmao..car accidents kill more people than guns do
This song always hits me hard, especially when it gets to the school shooting parts cuz I have kids and I cant even begin to imagine losing someone close to this type of violence or being there as it happens. My heart goes out to you and I'm glad to see you doing ok. This is my first time on your channel, but I'll be checking out more of it
So I mean, it is a personal track to you, but it is also personal to Eminem. The parallels between his career, being addicted to pills and alcohol, him performing on stage is what this is supposed to represent, but the double meaning is that it's about the shooter as well. I'm not sure how long you've followed Em and his career, but he had a strong addiction to pills and alcohol before he got clean in 2009/2010. It's the tale of 2 sides, him trying to amp himself up with drugs to go out on stage and the shooter.
Also if you took away from it that "oh it's just political motivation" then sorry, you don't know what Em was trying to get across. And you should want to change something too, anything to help prevent more circumstances from happening. like.....kind of made it a little weird ya know?
You are mad strong for doing this reaction! I remember seeing one of your NF reactions and i heard you mentioned the the shooting and i couldn't even think of asking you to react to darkness! Hope it helped you in any way! You are a strong woman!
"I reached for the scope" as he reaches for the scope brand looking mouthwash. I love that its even a double in the music video.
Watching your reaction makes me want to give you the biggest hug. Thank you for reacting, I can tell it was extremely hard. I am happy you are safe!
Woa. Hell no. I've seen this video so many times and it hits me every time but for you to gather the strength and watch this is unreal. I went to MBay for a MJ One show and even felt uneasy then cause the cab driver showed us the venue and his daughter was there. She made it. God bless you and may God watch over those lost that day.
This song tells 2 stories
1 the mass shooting from the shooters perspective (the main story told)
2 Eminem's struggle with alcohol and drugs there's a lyrics decoded video you can watch
Randomly search Eminem “Darkness” reactions. Didn’t think I was going to come across somebody that was at the Vegas shooting reacting to it. WOW
I live here too..I didn’t go cause it was the country part of the life is beautiful festival. My daughters friend was shot in the head. He just finished hs..😔😔Em did amazing job with this song. He did it perfectly and which such a big platform to make it aware..it’s really amazing. Haven’t been down to the strip since. Glad ur safe xoxo Dee
My teacher was there when it happened.
Never watched your channel before but I really respect you being able to do a reaction like this. I wasn't at this one but I was sitting with my friend who was the shooter at chardon high school right before it happened. We had been friends since we were 5 years old and I remember how twisted up I felt for the next few years after that so I genuinely have a lot of respect for you making this reaction. Its very hard to even think about let alone talk about and relive and you kept composed for the most part throughout the whole reaction.
I am sorry you had to go through what you did... I cannot even imagine what you been through. Just know that we are here for you. Thank you for sharing your story on your other video; I watched and was in tears. Thank you for continuing to do your videos on here. I really enjoying watching you react to different music. Keep it up and stay strong my friend... God is with you
Not really gods not real he was made up so people would have closure of the afterlife
And to control people with fear tactics
I was looking for this one..... because I watched your story. So glad your ok and your family. God Bless. if you didn't go through it ... people... eventually realize. Big Props for realizing that. So much love to you for reacting to this.
❤️❤️❤️
I think you were incredibly brave to survive such tragic events and to sit through this song after it all stay strong 💪
Really just went "that's political" at the end and clicked off. Lol. Nice one, actually involved in a shooting and a message about changing gun laws comes up and it's like a straight "no".
It's crazy, almost like she is so uncomfortable to share her political opinion, that even after a horrible tragedy she is more afraid of being accused of wrong think. Em would have done more for his cause if he hadn't put that last part in imo. Imagine making such a masterpiece, with words crafted by the worlds best word smith, laid out in such a elegant fashion only to bluntly ruin it with a copy paste slogan that's so over politicized, (telling us what to think, and not how) it's lost it's sting long ago. I hate to go off on you, but in my opinion watching her show great emotional control is impressive and gets my respect. There is something sick about "survivors" making political statements. Doesn't matter which side of the isle their on it sickens my soul, even when I agree with them.
Was thinking the same.. it bugs me y some even bother 2 react to songs on UA-cam. 4 someone who claims was there, i expected more than a lame boring reaction.
Siren ....what will making me, a lawful gun owning combat vet, have to jump thru more hoops and pay more money, do to stop crazy pieces of s**t from attaining a stolen gun, or stealing one themselves?!! Omfg STFU with your "more gun control!" bulls**t!
@@branon6565 this guy owned his weapons legally. Yes, gun control won't stop all evil, but it will reduce the amount of shootings and murder. It's just either stupid or shows a severe lack of empathy and care, to refuse something that will lead to less suffering and death, just because it won't stop all suffering and death. At that point, why do anything?
People who think gun control stop murders need to remember the bystander effect... It means that if you witness an awful atrocity in broad daylight and you're powerless to prevent it, said person assumes the some other hero will deal with it. But in a gun control zone nobody is empowered apart from the criminals, so the bystander effect applies to everyone, therefore the atrocities pile up and 5 ppl get killed by one person. Or a robbery goes wrong and the store owner is killed. And nobody in the store is carrying, so they can't stop the owner from being shot in front of their eyes. Wake up man the only thing that can stop gun crime is a time machine and killing the man who invented them. Unfortunately we can't do that so it is better off you just carry your own gun and join the pro rights instead of anti.. because anti only empowers criminals.
Listening to this song is sad but hearing it from your perspective is heart breaking. More power to you!
God bless you and thank God you are still with us. Thanks for doing this video. I seriously had tears in my eyes the whole time you were talking about the incident.
the one time you hear eminem actually talk is saying “fuck the media, i’m going all out this is war” cause it’s something he wants to change.
i cant stop hearing this song my dad was one of the police officers running in when i was running out to save people hes my hero thank you to police and im here for every survivor
He’s showing the prospective of the shooters because you have to have to live a certain way and be raised a certain way that your mistreated in ways you can only understand of that feeling and you snap and feel that feeling your adrenaline raises and you get that feeling to the point we’re you can’t take it and I say this because a lot of shooters are mis under stud and are even treated terribly before and after death which is truly hell in your own perspective
Hey i love eminem reactions but this made me have a different angle as i seen many reactions to this, but i can see how personal and hard this was for you and it took alot of courage to do this, i am going to check your story out now...i am very glad you are okay and i hope you can get some sort of help if that is the right word or not for the shock and after affect this will have on you.....i cant even imagine the perspective you had and how scared it must of been - but thank you as much as i say i enjoyed you i wish this did not happen at all good luck and i hope sooner than later you can somehow in some way put this behind you (the anxiety and constantly thinking of it) as i know you will never forget god bless - Chris
First and foremost I want to thank God for you and provide comfort and hope to the people there, especially the family of those that lost somebody. As well as you and your family. You never have to apologize for the amount of pauses and emotions you let out on here. You was there and you have a different type of emotion than most who wasn't there. Never stop speaking from the heart, its the most effective way to heal as much as possible. Not to mention that there are other people that was there and watch your reactions. Maybe somebody needs to hear a point of view from a person that was there and putting yourself out there may not be the easiest thing to do but the lives you touch could find healing in your words. We got your back as well as God. God Bless you and your family.
That comment, I have no words. Thank you.. ❤️❤️
@@mayjayyy9605 its no problem at all. Im an emotional person and one thing most people don't realize is that being an emotional person is hell hah it benefits others far more than it benefits us. We hold more hate in ourselves and we show. I realized God made me a certain way because the mental, spiritual and emotional battle we fight is extremely difficult and its so easy to want to change and become someone we're not, but there is always something inside of us that reminds us that its not us. One thing I learned is the Bible says God won't put more on us than we can bare, He never said that we couldn't add to it. The way we respond to a situation is key. Do we keep tripping on the stumbling blocks or turn them into stepping stones. Keep falling of climb higher.
Great to hear Ems reaction to someone that was there. I saw the pain in your face. I hope you've endeared this moment of your life to make you a better person. Heartfelt reaction. I subbed because of this video.
Very hard to watch this video finding out you were there, Emimem is very clever they way he puts together verses, songs and videos, so much respect for the reaction, you gained another sub. 💖
Em using it to describe that day also his life perfoming and stuff. Sorry u had to go threw that.
I got goosebumps when you almost started crying. I felt the pain in your eyes. Stay strong.
Really sad to hear that you were actually there. But huge props to you for having the strength to watch it and explaining your perspective of the events of that day.
It’s crazy how this whole song is a double entendre because not only is Em speaking on his own perspective, but he’s speaking on the perspective of Paddock when he was in Mandalay Bay AT THE SAME TIME, while also speaking on how mental health could lead to heavy drug use, which then leads to gun violence. Damn. Em is a genius.
I am so sorry you had to experience such a terrible situation firsthand, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reacting to such a strong re-enactment. I hope you are doing well.
React to eminem - stan, it's one of the greatest story telling rap songs ever
You are brave. You are strong. I'm glad you were brave enough to do this, the feels go straight to us viewers. Something I did not think possible from a reaction video.
Best Reaction Video Ever.
I can see how uncomfortable this was for you, thank God for your safety, and I'm sorry for all the angles that were lost on that tragic night, thank you for sharing your unfortunate experience
Respect to you for watching this video considering you were there. Eminem got his point across that's why he is one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Stay Strong Magan; We love you!
I'm glad your still with us. RIP to the lives lost.
I have watched this video numerous times and Never felt so emotional as I did watching your reaction. So sorry you had to go through that!
“Well that’s political” Lmao yeah trying to stop mass shootings from happening in America when they barely happen in other countries.. lol “best country in the world tho” sorry. Hope you have educated yourself since or are better than that. If so I’m sorry
Everything in America is political nowadays unfortunately. People can't even agree on things as open and shut like Mental Health is important, Gun control in many states is shit, Coronavirus is a pandemic and it is killing people, Pedophiles should not be allowed to be politicians, etc etc. It always comes down to the good ol red vs blue
Seriously the artists performing redacted their beliefs on gun control. I can’t fathom the idea someone came out of that experience thinking gun control is political
Yoooo watched this lyrics video months ago
😱
She wasn’t wrong. “Go vote” can’t get more political.
Saying to vote isn’t stopping mass shootings. Presidents aren’t saying to go out and shoot people, if you’re looking for gun laws, look at Chicago. Highest shooting rate in the country every year yet they have the strictest gun laws. Educate yourself before telling others lmao
To have the strength to react to the video.....that is another step forward. I applaud you for taking the step, and hope each day is another step into a brighter future.
song makes me cry because i didnt want to be alone 25 years ago but i feel it all the time. i remember reading when proof was shot performing, must be what he means i dont want to be alone in the darkness anymore, someone took his friend
Thank you for this. I was working in the ICU where I worked in my state and couldn't imagine being in the ICU during this night in vegas.. thank you for this amazing reaction! Strong girl
Man I really don’t think this song got the credit it deserved. So incredible how he portrays the mindset of an artist about to go on stage, while at the same time portraying the mindset of the Las Vegas shooter. The video itself was so powerful with the intense visuals. If this doesn’t get video of the year then there is something wrong.
You reacted to the whole song just to skip the last important message.
Imagine judging someone who lived through what the song is about.

I’m so sorry babe..I love here in Vegas and decided last minute not to go down to life is beautiful. My daughters senior classmate died..very sad but we are Vegas strong that’s NO JOKE!! Much love ~Dee
Your video popped up randomly for me an it's very emotional and handled with grace..much love to all involved ♥️
A co-work was in Vegas a week before this happen, I gave him the idea to go, then the 2nd day back to work we watch this happening live at work and it was shocking he said he would have been down there at the stage he was staying at that hotel ( and literally 2 floors above where the shooter was) and seen the stage getting set up, if I gave him the idea to go a week later he would have been there on that night down there at the show...
This song always gives me chills
I really don’t mean to trash you, and I’m extremely sorry that you had to go through that. But something makes me feel like you are using your position as a mass shooting victim, as a way to make people pity you.
Especially the way that you turned off the video as soon as it mentioned the problem we have with guns in this country. Honestly, you really should have paid heed to what this song was talking about.
I'd pity her regardless, if you've ever seen what a high powered rifle bullet does to the human body you'd automatically pity anyone that has to face that defenseless.
@@can_can9119 I have PTSD from multiple occasions in which I've seen people shot. I'm well aware of what happens
This is one of the main reasons why i don't really go to festivals / concerts in America and then we had the suicide bomber in Manchester. I had a friend who was meant to be sitting by the guy with the bomb but didn't go as for some reason it was either they missed a bus or their mum fell ill i dont remember.
When I first listened to this I had no idea of the story behind it I just thought that he was on about a performance, but I had an urge to do research because I ould sense that it was deeper than that. Now that I know about it my heart sinks wheb I hear this song thinking about that monster and all of the innocent lives taken 😔
Wow this reaction invoked serious emotions out of me.. Looking your reactions and expressions I could cry and give you a hug
Thank you for sharing your reaction to this with us as I know it was NOT easy. I wasn't there but this song seems to bring us there when we hear it and Em did a phenomenal job bringing detail to the emotions and meanings. I hope and pray everyday that you and anyone else who has been a part of such senseless and needless acts and tragedies will heal from them in GOOD LIGHT PEACE ✌ AND LOVE 🥰
May Peace be with you!
I love your reactions. Thanks for doing this.
I'm glad you're here.
You've come a long way since then if you can stomach to react to this video. This was the first reaction video I saw of yours and you've earned a sub from me. I've seen many ppl react to this song but this one was the most meaningful. Thank you
why do I have to be comment 666 😑
As someone who was at the Boston Marathon bombing, and was literally in between the two blasts, I definitely relate to some of your feelings.. hope you're doing well
I'm french and i love you're video and this excellente reaction, this single is just a very sad and really
Love you ❤️ thank you for for powering through and entertaining us all while we are quarantined.
So sorry you had to go threw this. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to do this reaction. I think this song is crazy how it is a double entandre. It is very creative. But I think of the victims and how hard it must be to re live the pain from that night. I am also a victim of a shooting only I was the only victim it was not a mass shooting. It was more an accident. Anyway I got of point and wanted to tell you i commend you for making this video and having to go threw it all again to make it. I hope u find peace and heal from the trauma as much as possible. All the victims from that night are in my prayers.
I'm sorry you had to go through this. It hurts me just watching the video. Ive actually watched the actual video. This was sad.. my prayers goes out for you and everyone that lost a life and went through this. ❤❤
Eminem is always on deferent level. I watched this because you was there and you witnessed it. That's why I personally loved eminem music. Some popular reactions UA-camrs as Shaq explains what EM try's to says to people see his video to you will get some kind of relief. Stay safe.
#nolifegang glad someone's also here !
How many people have noticed that in the end the tv's are in a shape of America..?? And to you, sorry that you had to experience something so messed up....stay safe!!
I'm sorry you had to go through that in person you're absolutely one of the strongest people alive and I'm glad you and your family are alive and well
This song is absolutely incredible. Loved it from the first time I heard it. It definitely touches on something that’s controversial. As someone who has A. Served in the Marines and has a combat tour and also lived in several states. Some where gun laws are the most strict and some where they are the most lenient I know this isn’t a black and white discussion. It’s a lot of grey area. Crazy/evil men shouldn’t have guns, but at the same time, good men/women should be able to have guns. Making guns illegal won’t stop criminals from owning them, we see that in New Jersey, LA, philly, Chicago etc. and we don’t wanna take away guns from good people while criminals still have them. BUT, at the same time we need to prevent crazy people with clean records from having guns. The problem is no one wants to compromise. The left doesn’t wanna don’t guns can be used for good and the right doesn’t want to admit that it’s too easy to get guns. Both can be true. There’s people like the vegas shooter who can hurt so many with a gun but there is also men like Steven Williford from Sutherland springs who stopped a mass shooter with his personal AR-15 when he heard gun shots coming from a church and ran there barefoot and then chased and killed the active shooter before he could go to the next 5 churches he had planned to shoot up.
I wish people would hear this song and think about it. It’s better to come together and discuss this issue and find a way where everyone wins rather than having too much pride and trying to just win for yourself.
reacting to this.. in your situation I respect this reaction a lot big props I hope you progress with overcoming your situation stay strong girl💪💪💯💯
What’s crazy is I was 7 when this happened and this hard as the shots woke me up at exactly 5 34 am I feel for any one who was there that day
Dealin with PTSD is a battle you will face the rest of your life, it only gets easier with time if you face it, hope youre still staying strong
Eminem is just on another level compared to other rappers. When Darkness came out, youtube made it hard to find, I Can only guess it's because it's got a Powerful Political Message. Sorry you had to go through this terrible event,
At the end of the video, the new broadcast that mentioned the food festival in Northern California... I was there, with my 3 year old.
I feel your pain, I'm glad the 3 of us are healthy, but the pain lingers
Love from England ❤️ hope your well and everyone that's suffered and still suffering due to this horrific event that unfortunately occured No place for this nowhere !!!!!!!
I don’t even have words that would make the slightest difference. I had friends who were there as well...I actually left Vegas to go to Cali a month before for work and remember all the phone calls I made to people trying to make sure they were ok. Shortly after we were evacuating our hospital outside of LA due to fires and come to find out there was a shooting at the Borderline Bar and Grill just down the road...Can’t even describe how my heart was breaking while watching this...didn’t even make it all the way through. Stay strong 🖤
USA is such a depressive country it is insane... Mental illness and depressions are being ignored and not taken seriously and look what happens. I am not living in America and I am glad for this. You guys need to change something...
Your reaction made me so sad :( I get chills anytime I hear this song because I to was involved in a shooting at my school that changed my life. Happened in 2017 and I still can’t get over it don’t think I will ever get over it.
I clicked on your reaction because your title said that you were there. I'm so sorry that you experienced a mass shooting. Having seen this video before, I really wasn't sure you could make it through the whole thing without having to stop. You surprised me. You have shown yourself to be a very strong person. Your comments during the video were perfect. Thank you for your perspective. I'm wishing you all the best that life has to offer. ❤
It's hard, people are people and sometimes when they hit this point of no return, no one can see that because your actions are so destructive that they can't see what hurt led you to that because you ended up doing so much harm that that's all people can focus on, because that's also completely human. And like for someone like you who went through a thing like that, that no one can imagine until it's you, you know? It's hard, not like we can ask you to sit there and sympathize with this guy. But like he's part of the human condition, he's symptomatic of something within society and we can't fix it without understanding. He thinks he's doing the only thing he can do to express what he's going through, but all it does is obscure what he's going through and create more hurt. I sincerely wish we could all love each other and try to reach each other long before this happens. And of course my heart goes out to the victims first and foremost of shootings such as this, but my brain wants to understand what it is that drives this type of thing and how to gain meaning from it too. Thanks for your reaction, means a lot that you were willing to share it with us.
Em talking about gun control too that's the big point of this song
I just shared it buddy, your so brave... thank you. I'm a big em fan. I appreciate this♥️🌹♥️🌹
Much props, for being able to take that in. Glad you are ok.
