    This song has had such a deep impact on me. It has helped me to understand the beauty in my life’s journey and further understand the struggles that come and learning how to overcome them. Finding Chuck Schuldiner has been a blessing and I continue to feel empowered by his work, each and every day.

    I could comment 30 times on how impactful this song was for me and all the things I like about it! I'm only in 6 minutes so far so will keep it short. The BEST aspect to this song regardless of meaning and lyrics, is easily without a doubt the best part for me and that's the SOLOS and riffs behind them. Both Chucks and Bobbys, the riffs (especially Chucks during first solo) just gripped me beyond words. The bass, drums, the entire arrangement. I could go on and on. To me, one of the best moments in all of metal music. Please keep doing these! I love these nerdy deepdives brother. Reminds me of me when I'm really focusing on what a song means to me.

    This album is actually perfect. On top of probably in my opinion Death's best album, the production is just ridiculously good! So well balanced and surely ahead of its time balancing the distorted guitars with clean parts overtop. Again my opinion but I reckon Chucks vocals peaked here too. I do have Empty Words' chorus tattooed on my chest though so I may be a tad biased 😂 awesome video and I am so glad you decided to break down a song off of my #1 album of all time ❤️

  • @aghilton8531
    @aghilton8531 День тому

    Always love these break downs. My favorite thing you do is how you talk about riffs sounding like something (ie this riff sounds like the stumbling beginnings of a journey, this riff sounds like someone in the process of gathering knowledge). This is totally the way I’ve thought about this stuff and have never really stopped to put it into words.
    Great stuff.
    Do you have any interest in the work of Edge of Sanity? It would be so cool to hear your take on some of their music.

    THRASH-HARD CORE PUNK album from 1991 by THE CRUCIFIED, albums called PILLARS of HUMANITY, this album is a real gem for anyone. They sing against the POPE, they sing against PROFITABLE CHRISTIANITY & POSERS that aren't about CHANGING THE WORLD like JESUS did as he stood up for people as PUNK truly means. But I recommend anyone who wants a 10 out of 10 THRASH-HARDCORE PUNK to check out this album. Also recommend TOURNIQUET - PATHOGENIC OCCULAR DISSONANCE from the same time frame basically. Immense drummer, maybe best on earth for TOURNIQUET.

  • @flammerion
    @flammerion День тому

    Man, your breakdowns are amazing! The inclusion of the lyrics in the analysis is so important! Can't believe your included Marcus Aurelius, this is so metal (for me, at least). I can't help but suggesting you go watch the Brazilian film "I'm Still Here". Just a few hours before seeing this video, I was reflecting on how Death's Symbolic has connections with that movie, and now I see there's a connection with this song as well. So, if you haven't yet seen it, take a deep listen to these two songs, get some tissues, and go watch I'm Still Here. Cheers from Brazil! 🤘🤘🤘

    • @VARVIS_

      Man almost nothing quite scratches that late era death, but If you never have heard of them I would check out Wintersun's first album. As well as My Bullet For My Valentines first two albums. All excellent music and both bands have lots of Metallica and Death influences in them
