I had opportunity to meet Michael at 1 of their concerts, and thanked him for this song. He looked a little puzzled and asked why.? I replied that hearing this song, allowed me to really open up emotionally about losing my dad. He smiled, didn't need to say anything.
volbeats singer mike poulsen told a story in an interview about how his dad was a big fan of elvis and when mike came to the U.S. he wanted to visit graceland in honor of his father and when he was driving there, he got lost. then he seen an eagle and something made him follow it and it led him right to graceland. he believed his dads spirit was in the eagle showing him the way and wrote the song " dead but rising" about the experience.
Volbeat are just special. They can impart emotions so well, while still making things seem upbeat. Like they see the silver lining, even when they can't reach it. Love them.
Yes! That is an excellent song!! I’ve just about got all the words down with no music at all! Not that I sing it well…just don’t care because it’s a good song with a good message 💙💙💙
Those the connect with music tend to have a certain collection of songs that really bring our emotions to the surface for a specific person/memory/situation. When my dad passed in '08, my parents were living near the beach. That evening just before sunset I walked down to the ocean with a cooler and either spotify or my mp3 player and just sat quietly with my headphones blaring, tears streaming down my face, staring blankly at the surf and people walking the beach. While a good number of songs played then, I probably listend to The Offspring's "Gone Away" no fewer than 10x. To this day, it still has the potential to make my eyes wet. Fast forward to around 5yrs ago and one of my best friends' father lost his battle with cancer. "Fallen" became that song for him and anytime we were hanging out with music on he'd ask for it to be cued up. While I liked the song well enough then, I didn't pay super close attention to all the lyrics. This past January that friend took his own life and now "Fallen" is that song for friend gone to soon. Great reaction Amanda! I've had people ask me why I would choose to have songs in my playlists that can bring up these emotions. My response is usually it serves as a reminder to myself that I do still feel and care and when there are days I would rather not feel at all. Those days I also tend to find Three Days Grace's song "I Am Machine" in my listening. Even if you never do a YT reaction vid for it, you should give it a listen. Keep up the excellent videos and stay strong!
Vol Beat is one of my favorite bands. You can instantly know their songs by the sound. I know our families are watching us, sometimes painfully from the other side. I lost my dad in 2003 and I know he is proud of me and I feel his presence. It's good to know they are there and we will meet again one day.
Oh i completely feel your pain,i also lost my dad and my very best friend when i was 20. The day that i moved out i had the cops pounding on my door at 3am in the morning letting me know to rush to the hospital. He was gone before I arrived. That was 29 yrs ago and it still feels like it was yesterday.
This could be my favorite Volbeat song just due to the same reason you have. My mom died in 2019 and that was hard enough, but I started getting closer with my dad after. I lived far away and he wasn't a big talker, but after 2019 we talked on the phone alot more and it was awesome. And then in 2021 he was gone. I found Volbeat after that and this song knocked me over as well. I love how music can just heal your soul after it makes you realize what you had, not what you lost!! Great reaction!!
I tell you, many bands and songs have kept me breathing in this world. Listening to the words and rhythms of the music is my therapy. My doctors have recently diagnosed me with mild manic depression, survivor's guilt, and morbid imagination. I fight every day not to turn back to the bottle as some of the meds amplify the alcohol. But we must keep our chins up high and move forward. Amanda, I appreciate you with every ounce of my being. One big band I turn to is Suicidal Tendencies, especially the songs "Hearing Voices" and "How will I laugh tomorrow if I cannot even smile today." I know you have reacted to How will I laugh. but hearing voices is pretty awesome also.
My Aunt Dee Dee's was a second mother to me, and I discovered Volbeat in the same time period she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. We used to play cards at her house every Saturday night and listened to music while we played. We would go around the table and each person got to pick a song, we would just keep doing that all night while we played. Once I started playing Volbeat songs, my aunt fell in love with them too. Her husband, Uncle Steve, drank himself to death when I was 19 and she missed him so much, they were so in love they acted like school kids in love everyday even in their 40s when he passed. She passed when I was 28. Anyway, they have a song called "lonesome rider" and if you watch the video and listen to the lyrics it's obviously about two lovers meeting again in the afterlife and being happy and together forever. She loved that song and it always made her cry at a certain point. Now it does the same thing to me, but as I'm crying uncontrollably, I'm also smiling ear to ear. MISS YOU SO MUCH, Aunt DD & Uncle Steve, Love you so much, Little Jim
So sorry to see you sad, but at same time glad to see this song brought out some of the same emotions it did for me. This is the 1st Volbeat song that i heard on radio that drew me to this band. I struggle to understand the meaning of all the lyrics. But his voice, the guitarist and especially the drummer just have made me almost obsessed with this music. I love the variety of types of music they play. Hope you listen to more of their music. On a whole differerent musician have you ever listened yo ANGELS by robbie williams? I lost my little brother, my nephew and my mother all in last 2 years. I come from large family but these are HUGE losses for me. Music helps get thru rough days as well as just making their memory pop into my head, i never want to forget!
Had to rewatch this. My dad is on his last days. and the line 'the days are no more the same without you' just hits... waay to hard. Somehow knowing you aren't alone with that is... comforting. Thank you.
Volbeat is in my opinion one of the greatest bands. If you haven't heard it already check out sadman's tongue that's an awesome song as well, but all their songs are awesome!
This reaction made me misty eyed...I lost my dad almost 22 years ago, but I still miss him every day. And today is his birthday so I guess it's a little more poignant than normal, too. Love this band...I'd love to see them in concert ❤
My dad passed in 2005 and I still think of him every day too and wish he were here. We never fill the holes in our hearts, we just learn to live with them and find ways to connect with and honor the ones we've lost. Happy (now belated) birthday to your daddy! Such dates are hard, but they're reminders of how special they are to us. When they come around, have grace for yourself and see if you can find ways to connect with him. I have a mother's day without my mom vlog that might have some helpful tips :)
This is one of the first songs I heard from these guys. My local rock radio station played it on my way on from work one day. Needless to say I didn't make it home as I had to stop and pick up this CD. Been a fan ever sjnce..
well i remember when i was on my death bed in 1990 almost gone i still remember my dad stood there with tears in his eyes about to lose his son this was my suicide and now that my dad is 81 i fear that his time is near he was like my best friend he stud beside me in my darkest hour ill go crazy when he's gone i want my best friend to stay 😪 RYAN BARRON
Don't pray for your parents. Always keep them in your heart. That's where they should be after they're not here anymore. I lost my father 22. february 2023, and I can always feel him in my heart. That's where he should be for me. 🙂🥰
An Awesome song to listen to or react to is Disturbed's song Hold On To Memories, Made me tear up and think of my Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother (Dan, Ginnie, Bev & Scott) Miss them all!!
I’m so sorry that you’ve lost all of them!!! That has to be beyond words awful to have dealt with! Sometimes music & yelling the words at the top of your lungs is the only way, I guess. At least for me, because my initial response is like the above lady’s father “scream a slew of curse words” & the fist comes down….so, I try the to remember the music approach first 😁☺️ I am terribly sorry for All of your losses 😿💙🐬🧚🏼♀️
The singer and James Hetfield from metallica, ate at a restaurant I worked at. I wasn't there, but I enjoyed working in a place people like them would eat at. Old Danish inn food. As the singer said "James is kinda like a plumber and we like eating real food". Volbeat was warmup for Metallica for a while on a longer tour. Fun fact: The singer Michael Poulsen started out in death metal and is going back to it now. Us Danes (the ones listening to them) asked if he would please start singing so people can understand what the hell he's singing as he swallows up most words and it's embarrassing.
I kove volbeat so much. You should try out Our loved ones and Everlasting from them. Everlasting has a beautiful message in the song towards the end of it.
Maybe you have reached the end of your life.....as you know it. Maybe it's time to be reborn like a phoenix. With SPD, it is much easier to manage if you find a professional who specializes in it and can help you build your skillset and life up!
These guys are soo good. Had the chance to see them live and they were even better. Ive always said they sound like if Elvis and Jonny Cash stated Metallica instead of James and Lars.
completely random but also as a survivor, the songs "Castle" and "Arose" by Eminem make me bawl every time I hear them; they should be listened to back to back though its a two part song
You survived a suicide attempt ? Well so did I. My wife of 23 years and the mother of our 2 kids left me because she didn't understand what was happening with me. Mental health has a stigma that not everyone is prepared to deal with. Listen to Rush the pass. It deals with depression and suicidal tendencies. Deep song and the video is deep.
I'm a n ugly loser with PTSD from Afghanistan, but I want you to know that someone out there, even a POS PTSD loser, loves your content. There isn't a day I don't think about throwing myself off of the overpass while walking over it. My vision goes blurry and I imagine my end.....in any case, please don't stop doing these videos. Also, you are super pretty.
You are NOT a loser!!!! So not a loser!!! My husband is a marine & a 30 year veteran & has been in ever war since 85. If he heard you say those words, he would give you a hug & hold on tight until you stopped fighting it. Yeah, you’d never guess by looking at him that that would be his response. People think he’s scary for some reason, but he would KNOW that you are NOT a loser! 💜💜💜💙🐬

Volbeat is a seriously underrated brand, one of my all time favorites

Michael... Not Mike.
Volbeat are just special. They can impart emotions so well, while still making things seem upbeat. Like they see the silver lining, even when they can't reach it. Love them.
Thank you for a beautiful reaction to a fantastic song. This song was dedicated to vocalist Michael Poulsens deceased father.❤
Excellent reaction. You may also like a song of theirs called “cape of our hero”. 😉
Yes! That is an excellent song!! I’ve just about got all the words down with no music at all! Not that I sing it well…just don’t care because it’s a good song with a good message 💙💙💙
Singers dad was a boxer and the song is about this dad, which is why there is footage of boxing.
Your reaction couldn‘t have more of raw, authentic emotion and love ❤ touched me
Volbeat are awesome at grabbing the unexpected, I really appreciate you taking the time to react to them

My parents passed two years apart too and it absolutely gutted me too. I'm so happy you found Volbeat to help you through. 💖

My dad died on April 30th 2018 and this goes out to him. Not a day goes by I don't think about him and miss him. This song goes out to my dad

This is one of my favorite sings from one of my favorite bands. You should also check out Goodbye Forever and Last Day Under The Sun
This music will speak very deeply. Hope your listen to more. Your Dad knew….we fathers know; we’re just waiting for our children to catch up. ❤️
Volbeat has such a positive message. Collective Soul is another good rock band. Ive seen them 11 times, Volbeat 6 times now.
Don't pray for your parents. Always keep them in your heart. That's where they should be after they're not here anymore.
I lost my father 22. february 2023, and I can always feel him in my heart. That's where he should be for me. 🙂🥰
What a beautiful reaction video! ❤

I kove volbeat so much. You should try out Our loved ones and Everlasting from them. Everlasting has a beautiful message in the song towards the end of it.
Thank you again for being the empathetic voice
You would like Cape of Our Hero, which is also about his dad
Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.
Happy Holidays to you as well!
I'm not sure if anyone already posted this , but she really needs to hear Cape of a Hero.
You have a good heart kiddo.
All love to you
Volbeat are a danish band. This song are a tribute to his late father. ❤
I think i have schizoid personality disorder, what i do....i feel like i have reach my end of the life.
Maybe you have reached the end of your life.....as you know it. Maybe it's time to be reborn like a phoenix. With SPD, it is much easier to manage if you find a professional who specializes in it and can help you build your skillset and life up!

Please try listening to Dagen før, For evigt , or some of the others volbeat song ❤
Really deep lyrics
Those are very uplifting songs with dome great lyrics! 💙
You survived a suicide attempt ? Well so did I. My wife of 23 years and the mother of our 2 kids left me because she didn't understand what was happening with me. Mental health has a stigma that not everyone is prepared to deal with. Listen to Rush the pass. It deals with depression and suicidal tendencies. Deep song and the video is deep.
I'm so happy you are still here!
Great reaction!
Thank you for reacting to this song! If you want you can also react to the song Sara by we three they did a beautiful live version of it:)
Nice Reaction Amanda. if this hit you, the you should try "cape of our hero" by Volbeat, that one had a 52 year old man to tears :o
Yeah Michaels good ONE OF THE BEST ❤Every band wishes they were Volbeat!
Try the song. last day of the sun. by volbeat
under the sun.
He wrote the song after his father died
You are so beautiful inside and out.
"Light A Way" as well

If PTSD makes you a loser, stamp a big red L on my forehead too! Please keep fighting. There is healing. We can't let the enemy win!
Hey brother you are NOT a POS looser you did a great deed for serving for your country I tip my hat to you. God bless
You are NOT a loser!!!! So not a loser!!! My husband is a marine & a 30 year veteran & has been in ever war since 85.

Volbeat is just as Badass live as studio cheers from denmark check out rock am ring 2013 ring of fire volbeat
I am by far not a big Country Song fan but you should Definitely listen to Cole Swindell's You Should Be Here Song!!
I did a reaction and UA-cam blocked it! It's on my Patreon now.
🌻
Now listen to Cape of Our Hero 🥲
My thoughts and actions are like my feelings. A Fart in the Wind. Move with the changes.
Hey hey Danish music
Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
You have no idea how much you mean to me sweetheart?
i got nothing bc i did get nothing still here tho
F'n Volbeat. That is all
Do home free mayday
some nobody judging a world class band lmao
Some nobody commenting on a video, without knowing what the channel is about
That made me giggle.
Praying to the very real God is not weird. Deep down you know He is real, you just consciously are in denial that He exists
Not in denial at all. Would LOVE to believe he is real. Would make my life much easier.
God and Jesus are there. ❤
