Eminem "Headlights" is super underrated. Nobody ever mentions it but it's good af. It's about his mom
Was just about to say the same thing.
Bro you beat me to it haha
well people tend to connect this song with headlights for obvious reasons and I do see it suggested a lot for reactors especially after they did Cleanin out my closet. It's like Kim and Bad Husband.
I'm a bit torn on which version he should do because the music video is awesome but it does cut out part, though to be fair it's not a verse (unlike Beautiful), I think it's just a bridge or something. So maybe the best thing would be if he'd check out both but I'm not sure if that makes sense.
Also I forgot something: Eminem frequently mentions older songs and albums so that could also help with identifying where he is at somewhat. Especially on Recovery he mentions Relapse a lot (although in a negative way).
It’s great to listen to it after Cleaning out my closet
It’s bc the feature sucks
Ronnie was his uncle, they were very close in age and he introduced Eminem to hip hop and rap. He committed suicide because of a break up. His mom sued Em for 10mil dollars so that what's he's referring to with "how dare you take what you didn't help me to get". Also, you have to do Headlights!! It's part 2 of this song, his perception of things after he's matured some more and how he feels about his mom now. Cleaning out my closet is from 2002. Headlights is from 2013:)
Awesome take! Thanks for clearing that up and that helps me understand things a lot more!😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial I feel like I’d explain an Eminem song to you, and you’d follow up with “and how does that make YOU feel?” 😂
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial second the Headlights rec, it's one of my favorite Eminem songs and definitely completes the story this song kicks off!
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial plz react to 97 bonnie and clyde by Eminem is so deep and tells a story in a unique way
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Definitely do Headlights. You'd love the juxtaposition the song has from this one.
He was also bullied in school really. A kid actually beat him so bad that he was in a coma. It gets worse. The school didn’t even noticed he was missing. His mom came up to the school and they found him in a utility closet. He suffered from serious head trauma.
Holy crap. I'm a massive Eminem fan, grew up playing his CDs and watching his videos, and I don't think I ever heard about that.
Yep it’s true, he had a shit hard life growing up he had to learn to walk relearn to read and write because of coma,
15:49 - Ronnie was Eminem's uncle (2 months older); from his mom's side and they were close. As you may remember from Stan, "I had a friend k!ll himself over some b!tch that didn't want him," that was Ronnie (12/14/91). Eminem's grandma (Ronnie's mom) claims that Eminem's mom, Debby, said that 'Ronnie would be alive today but you weren't home to take a phone call. Ronnie called and asked to speak to Marshall' but he wasn't home. The family claims that Ronnie never called and that Debby was just trying to place the blame on Eminem.
Wow! What a story, thanks for this!😊👍
The "Where is my snare? I have no snare in my headphones" is actually a genuine studio moment they decided to include 😁
😊👍
Everyone knows that jesus christ, why would he just make that up and put it in?
@@varbergessamo6045 False, far less than everyone knows this fact. Why? Because he's Eminem, he likes to do silly stuff now and then. And the bit has a quite comical delivery if you don't the context. The delivery also sounds very rehearsed. And I've seen many reactors who thought it was a made up bit. Jesus christ!
@@varbergessamo6045 I did not know this. Interesting fact.
@@varbergessamo6045 I did not know this, it's the first time I have heard anyone say that.
It may sound weird, but I hear so much love in eminems lyrics. especially in the dark ones. They just show that he cares.
He cares .. and that's why it's hurting
Eminem has always been brutally honest about his life through his music. He doesn't hold back and he doesn't regret his stories.
Thats right
Well, he does regret a bunch of stuff, which he talks about often. Some things should have stayed private
I mean he literally said he regretted some of the things he said. Especially in this song about his mother and he apologized for it
didn't he literally say he regretted making this song?
As a child with mommy issues I sang this from the soul when I would cry alone in my room ❤️
There is just so much pain in this. I was abandoned by a mentally ill mother too. I think he wouldn’t have put all of this out there, but his mom sued him for $10 million for defamation in an earlier track and because Marshall would help her financially and she was being evicted from her mobile home. She went on talk shows to say that Marshall was too spoiled and made herself the victim. She never mentioned that her younger son was put in long term foster care due to medical abuse/neglect. Nathan, the younger half brother bounced around group homes with anger issues until Marshall filed for custody of him and eventually adopted him. Marshall was badly beaten by a middle school bully, he ended up in a coma, his mom sued the school and according to court records, she kept him drugged up on Valium and Xanax to make the “brain damage” seem worse in order to get more in lawsuits and welfare/social security disability. He had to recover from the brain injury through that time, and couldn’t really do well in school. He dropped out after failing 9th grade twice. So, he has reasons to be angry. I can relate because I’m the same age and also have a white trash family.
Years later he never performs this song anymore and nearly hates that he recorded it after getting clean and realizing from a clean/mature position what sort of a position his mother was in. "Headlights" is a must watch after this one as a sequel. They still are not on the best of terms, but have reconciled and pretty much leave each other to their own.
It’s a shame cuz it’s one of his best songs
Sometimes I feel bad for liking a song that the artist hates lol
I mean, honestly I feel like song was important for him to eventually move on. It's a stepping stone for him. This is how he dealt with his life with all his songs.
No kid should ever feel compelled to apologize for their own parents mistreatment of them. Especially when they fuck up and feel like they need to.
Amen!👍
Also the “took the bullets out of that gun” line is referencing his felony charge. He was charged after assaulting a club bouncer when he saw Kim (baby momma) kissing the bouncer. The bouncer claimed em pistol whipped him, which em insists it was a punch... but has that unloaded gun on him. If you listen to “say goodbye”, it will explain more too.
"You're full of shit too gurrera, that was a fist that hit you"
He needed some buzz in the press, to jump start his rap career.
@@robbob5302 I don’t think so. He immediately had buzz. White boi with skill, Dre’s new artist, relatable poor kid who’s different, battle history. Not to mention slim shady ep and MMLP were both already out and massive. So the charge occurred after he already hit.
@@robbob5302 😂 mmlp sold like.. 1.8 mill in its first week. More than enough buzz.
@@AiiRv Then I guess it worked!🙂
That is what the " I'm' sorry momma" is about. He is trying to fix himself, and part of that process is acknowledging what his mom did to him. So he is sorry he has to talk about her in a bad way.
Should follow this up with Headlights by Eminem. It's like an apology or coming to peace with his mom.
PERFECT FOLLOW UP TO SEE EM'S GROWTH
Em's honesty is one of the things that makes him so memorable. As long as he's rapping as Eminem and not Slim Shady you're going to hear a version of his truth, whether it's something that happened or a twisted fantasy he might have. He also repeatedly said this was his therapy which you can really see. Eventually got a real one which was for the best. Headlights is a good follow-up to this one. It's about 10 years down the line and THAT one is probably a part of his recovery.
Oohh so thats why he has two names. Makes more sense now lol
Yeah. Slum is his fucking around, silly offensive personae. Marshall is the normal everyday him and when he gets personal and tells his store (past and present) and Em is his more technical, entertainer and "professional" personae. They are different sides of his personality.
This song got me trough so much as kid, I remember muffling my dad's yelling with it and letting out my anger by mouthing the lyrics whenever he turned his back at me. I started listening to it again last year and relating even more after finding out he was messing with my medical records.
På koko j koko kok ju noom ok
Eminem is one of those artists that writes soundtracks for life. His words are so passionate that you feel like he's writing words just for you.
Aww 😢 and I guess your father never took the hint right? It goes over their heads.
Cannot wait until you get to hear “ Haleys song” it’s such a good one. Also another great reaction as alway. I don’t even need to watch the video fully to know that it’s an overall great one. Good job Tom and Nick. 👏
Thanks So much Robin!😊👍
@JerzeVillain damn that's true ? Source plz xD
I hope you do Headlights by Eminem soon. I want to wait until you've done both before I share your reactions to both with my own mother.
I'm a 45-year-old mom myself who survived childhood abuse and neglect and am finally making progress with an incredible trauma informed therapist. And part of that entailed going no contact for almost 2 years. I re-initiated contact last year.
My mom, having realized that I won't put up with certain things anymore , has actually been making attempts at modifying her behavior toward me and accepting the boundaries I've created for the most part.
And I've been able to occasionally have somewhat productive conversations with her about things. But, it's still obvious that she doesn't understand how much the past affects how I function as an adult. And you just explained it so well.
But the song Headlights was written several years after Cleaning Out My Closet. Eminem was able to grow and mature and gain more perspective on how his mom's own experiences and trauma shaped her behavior and his experience of childhood. So, I want to wait until I can share your commentary on both songs before sharing them with her.
I absolutely've been loving this channel & can't wait for mores
my favorite eminem song
@JerzeVillain That's cool! Do you remember where you saw/heard that ?
"Its my life, I'd like to welcome yall to the eminem show" sends shivers down my spine every time! Anyone else? Also would love to see you react to "leaving heaven" by eminem
Yep, that particular lead-up to the chorus hits really hard
I love that you can bring in a psych background to this song. Most people can only say "wow his mom was terrible," but you can bring forward Munchausen's and a great interpretation from a psychology perspective. I remember using this as an example for a presentation in college on Munchausen's By Proxy and loved hearing you explain how that disorder works (the caregiver seeking attention via another person's medical issues). You have such a refreshing take on Eminem and digging into the psychology of him using what he has poured out in his music. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Melissa! Great comments and I appreciate your support and watch😊👍
Well said
You need to check out "Headlights" after this.
You need to do ”headlights” after this, its an apology to his mom
“Headlights” by Eminem is almost like a part 2 about “cleaning out my closet”. It’s him pretty much looking back at this song and himself at the time
Ronnie was his Uncle (mom’s brother) who Em was close to and is the person who introduced him to hip hop! He committed suicide. His mom besides making a CD with people who were trying to take him down she sued him for defamation and basically got nothing! His childhood bully did the same (sued him) and got a big fat goose egg!
A lot of videos will says they were uploaded 2009, and that’s true but that’s just when a TON of music videos got added to UA-cam. Cleaning out my closet came out in 2002.
Eminem gets my emotions. He makes me laugh and choke up. To this day. Great artist, and I am gonna guess he is a great soul. So inspirational, it's cool to see these reactions cause I feel like your input is very helpful. Lots of Blessings to you
Eminem can make you angry, happy, cry and dry your eyes all with the same line
It’s incredible how fast your channel is growing. I like to see the perspective of a therapist reacting and giving their insights on music, especially artists like these. Keep up the simple but great content. I see your channel growing immensely.
Thank you so much Angelo! I really appreciate it 😊👍
That's the Eminem effect🐐
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial PLEASE react to “dance with the devil” by immortal technique. This is if one of the most chilling songs in hip hop history. I believe you will really enjoy the story telling and the harshness of it. Again PLEASE and thank you
@@angelobaziotis Patreon channel coming soon! It will be there!😊👍
@@angelobaziotis yes would love to see him hear that one dance with the devil by Immortal Technique 👍🏻👍🏻
Ronnie was his uncle, but he was almost his age so they were very close and he Eminem's best friend at that time. Ronnie committed suicide in 1991.
Pls react to "Headlights" also by Eminem, it's his apology letter to his mother.
You know I'm gonna be the 1000th person to comment "Please do Headlights after." Because It's Eminem's growth and forgiving of his past. Please! When you get the chance, I request Headlights
Headlights next!!
This would be a PERFECT follow up. The two are so different and show so much growth.
Loved this song when I heard it in highschool and I appreciated the honesty and vulnerability that Em showed here. When people criticize him for his violent/misogynist/homophobic/etc lyrics, I get offended because it means they didn't listen to a man tried by life but lived through his obstacles
At the end of the day he is the most controversial rapper in history
“Deja Vu” is Eminem’s best song in my opinion. Not a super popular one but it’s got a wicked rhyme pattern and there are several ideas he expresses beautifully throughout
fire
I agree, it's a great song
Thank you for making this Video. Cleaning out my closet came out in July 2002 (The Eminem Show).
Eminem (Marshall Bruce Mathers III) was born in Missouri (17. October 1972 ) and later moved to Detroit with his Mother. He never met his father, who died in 2019 (heart attack).
His Uncle Ronnie, who commited suicide as a Teenager, was his best friend and he brought Hip Hop in Eminems life.
So glad you did this one! I listened to it a lot as a kid, and every time I hear I just want to give him the biggest hug. Kids like this were the reason I got a degree in counseling (though I'm no longer in the field).
This song actually scared me a lot. I think I was around13 or 14 year sold when this came out and since English isn't my native language, I didn't understand anything. So it was a pretty aggressive sounding song with domestic abuse in the video and a menacing beat to me. Do you actually check out the uncensored versions of this songs after the reaction? Because especially at the end of this song, he said some pretty nasty things.
Btw I don't know how much you are informed about Em's history but here are some things to keep in mind which can help put the songs into a timeline: he did get more and more tattoos during his career. So in the early days when his daughter wasn't born yet/was a baby, he didn't have her tattooed on his right shoulder yet. Those are mostly the days of his first successfull album, The Slim Shady LP. I think he has that tattoo starting from his next album, The Marshall Mathers LP. The other big one is his tattoo that shows the name of Proof, his friend from D-12. It's on his left underarm and it should be there sometime after Encore, his forth main album. That's also the time of his first big hiatus when he had the most trouble with drugs.
The other thing to keep in mind is his hair. First he was blonde and shaven in his career. Then after Encore he had dark hair sometimes in his videos (and the whole time during the movie 8 mile). He had blonde hair on some of the songs on Relapse and dark hair on the others. I think on Recovery he mostly had dark hair and on The Marshall Mathers LP2 he had mostly blonde hair again. Then with Revival he pretty much stuck with the dark hair and introduced us to his beard lol. And that's the present so if you see him with dark hair and a beard, then that song is pretty recent (it has to be at least from 2017),
I don't know how much this made sense but I wanted to write it down, maybe it'll help lol.
You know your Eminem history! Well done and thanks for letting me know😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial if you want a truly menacing song song by him listen to Kim by Eminem it’s about his ex wife getting with another man and it’s a really dark song
This song was crucial in my process of dealing with my childhood. I know it by heart and absolutely love it. But had never understood in detail as much as I do now. Thank you Tom. You're a gem.
Thanks so much for watching and for supporting 😊👍
Em was also severely bullied in school as well (to the point of actual long term brain damage), so he had it rough in and out of home...
This video digging the grave is a metaforic for him putting the past behind him because he's felt with everything through his music
This song reminds me of my own father repeating a very toxic cycle. I'm breaking this cycle, struggling just with the basics of life. Never passing on this suffering.
Thank you for addressing how intoxicated people make some people nervous. I can relate & I never feel "normal" going around that stuff, I always feel this strong anxiety &/or excitement in the pit of my stomach
Love these reactions. Headlights is a good one to react to as it’s the apology sort of but I think “My Mom” is a must hear before that one to get the full scope of their relationship
Definitely
Yeah
Classic Em song, I think he said in an interview he feels bad looking back making this song. Someone correct me if I’m wrong!! Amazing song though and awesome reaction once again.
in Headlights he says he no longer plays it at shows and cringes when its on the radio
@@brambo09 thanks for the info, I thought I heard something along those lines. Good on him for moving on.
@@brambo09 no wonder, he says very nasty things on this song but I guess some of it is justified. But everyone who listens to Headlights should understand his feelings for this song. It's the same with Bad Husband and the songs attacking Kim.
You must react to eminem - headlights next!!!
The follow-on to this song is "Headlights" where you can see that he has matured in his view of his mother and their relationship, and it's his apology/acceptance song, it's very poignant and regretful.
He says he cringes at this song now when he hears it and he doesn't play it at his shows anymore.
I relate to that so much. I had a horrible relationship with my mother and in my teenage/very young adult years, I was full of resentment and rage, I wanted to hurt her like I felt hurt. I used to listen to this song and relate it to my own feelings about her. Now, I am in my "Headlights" phase.
Comparing these two songs will really show his emotional and psychological growth and maturity.
Headlights is an amazing follow up song to this. Also "need me" ft pink is a good song more about a toxic relationship
I never knew the Munchausen syndrome by proxy thing was real but someone actually posted a report that was at the trial of when she tried to sue him for slander. From all the interviews and people talking about em, everything in this song is factual and not exaggerated.
He did have a follow up to this song now hes older called headlights. He regrets making this song. After going through addiction himself, he kinda saw how it wasnt fully in her control how she acted. You should check it out.
Do you know where the report is?
I love seeing you grow into eminem so much from not knowing him to understanding why people connect with his songs.
I think we all need a good look at music instead of instantly disliking the genre
I only found your reaction channel a couple months ago but I respect the work you do with your breakdowns. Also thank you for the work you do outside of your UA-cam channel.
THanks so much! I love what I do!😊👍
Probably one of the most relatable songs I’ve ever heard. Amazing break down. Thank you sir.
Make sure you all add 'Headlights' to the google doc! He's gotta follow this up with that one asap!
Eminem is one of my favorite artists bc he is able to be very vulnerable. While some people may find his vulnerability to be unnecessary, it has helped me through a lot. My childhood was very similar to his, so this song is extremely relatable, especially how hurt he was that his mom wouldn’t admit that she wasn’t a good mom. It’s really hard to heal from childhood trauma when parents deny it even happening, or minimizing the child’s feelings.
I love this song! Spent a lot of my younger adult life singing this at the top of my lungs while crying...very theraputic in its own way. But after years of counseling I'm very close to my mom now and we talk a lot about our relationship.
Well said veruca!!😊👍
Oooo gotta do "headlights" next. It's his apology to his mom for this song
... probably the coolest, most interesting concept for a channel *EVER*.
This came out when i was very small and it let me realize that my mother's abuse wasnt my fault. A lot of pain, but at least i knew it wasnt me.
That song came out when I was maybe 12 or 13 n I related to it so so much, been in therapy for the past 3 yrs n still tear up when I hear it just thinking bout the pain I was in at the time n how much songs like that helped me through that part of my life!!!
Thanks so much for sharing this and for taking the time to watch😊👍
I think some point of my life i need to talk to a therapist. I just can't bear it anymore
Omg i love this channel so much! I’ve been debating on therapy for years but now I feel like I’m ready thank you for that! P.s you should listen to headlines by Eminem it’s after he’s grown and he talks about making this song
Good for you!! Thanks for watching😊👍
Yess! Was waiting for this one!
Glad you have this out. I’d watch headlights right after.
great video! “headlights” by eminem is like the sequel to this song, it’s him apologizing for this song and other songs where he dissed her and how him and her kinda made up, he also heavily regrets “cleanin out my closet” and he doesn’t even play it at concerts anymore
God this song here got me through most of my teen years although I still live with my mom,the angry lyrics kept me from doing something I would totally regret
Same, I relate to this more than anyone should. My mom said she should have had an abortion with me, yelled it at me when I was 12. You an 80's/90's baby too?
Same fam , I hate to repeat something you probably hear already but you gotta move out the small bit of space will help the relationship between you and your mom . It's not easy but it'll be a great goal and feeling
ur such a cool guy man, tnx for makin these!!
Hey Guys, had a crazy week so just catching up
on a whole week’s worth of reactions!!! You guys are killing it!!!
I saw Knox shouted you guys out on IG too - thanked you for reacting to his music! Congratulations guys 100K here we come!!!!!
Thanks Emma! Miss you! Hope all is well and thanks for the support😊👍
"Leaving Heaven" is the song Eminem wrote after the death of his father
And in "Mockingbird", Em talks to his children about how he tries to treat them better than what he went through
I think both could be interesting.
Thank you and Nick for being such a positive force in a lot of our lives. I am in therapy but this is just such an amazing channel. I’ve ALWAYS wanted a therapist to break down all of this great music with such deep lyrics!
Thanks so much Owen!😊👍
Yeah more eminem!! Amazing reaction as always Tom!!!
I'm loving your channel, definitely just what I needed to find while struggling a bit myself. I was curious, though, if CC is a possibility in the future with channel growth! Thanks for the great content!
"Dance With The Devil" by Immortal Technique should DEFINITELY be on your reaction list...gives me chills every time
I forgot about this song! I want to see a reaction to that fs
That song is just sick and would be rude to have him listen to it. Nothing good from it.
I love your take on these songs. Stay happy and healthy!
Thank you doc to just put it into perspective.
Really. Thank you.
Been waiting for this one
Great video!!!!!!!! Loved it, very relatable. Learned a lot.
This song definitely helped me get some of my emotions out about my mother, she was abusive and narcissistic and she truly ruined my life mainly from mental abuse she caused. I related a lot during this whole song, trying so hard to fix the issues that are causing her to become abusive that you get so tired that it becomes so hard to hold any form of love for her.
I hear a lot about how a mother’s love is unique and how everyone needs a mother’s love and it sucks to think that I never and probably will never know what the true love of my mother feels like.
Pardon the novel
I love your reactions. Glad you aren't biased with explicit lyric videos.
Thanks again from a HUGE Eminem fan!!! the way you look at his craft is awesome. keep up the great work. greetings from The netherlands😉
Hank you soooooo much!!😊👍
Thank you for doing this one
I subscribed because your analysis made me tear up. You’re spot on. As a man who has made his mother hate him, I am continuously trying to fix our relationship to no avail.
Thanks for taking the time to comment😊🙏
Excellent reaction, loved your take on it! You should react to "Headlights" next, it is the follow up to this song.
I remember when it came out! I remember a lot of it by heart, and I remember the chorus by heart. Hehe. I've been hearing Eminem since his second mainstream album, SSLP, back in 99 when it came out when I was in 5th grade. Hehe.
Ayeee I requested this and subsequently Headlights. Headlights made me so proud of Em, and I feel like you'll feel the same.
Unrelated to the music reaction, but .. you must be a great psychotherapist.
I really wish any of my therapists were as soft spoken and empathetic as you sir.
Thank you for what you are doing.
You might wanna do headlights next as its a reflection on this song
His rawness and transparency of his thoughts and feelings helped me through my childhood and millions of other children and individuals going through bad
When I was younger I know my mom took her far share of beatings just so I could go to the psych. I was always told by my dad not to talk about abuse b/c it could be worse and I knew my dad didn't threaten; he made promises. I was more concerned my dad would lose his job as a correctional officer tho. My mom was my first steps to mental health just sorry she went through so much pain to get me there. Great vid doc! Much love as always! So glad you give some thoughts of mental health along the way!
It took me a long time to realize just how much of a victim my mommas really was. I hope she seeks therapy b/c I know how bad her nightmares are in her sleep about the past.
I appreciate your channel. It gives you a little help everyday.! Thank you for your help!!!
Thank you joe! Appreciate you!😊👍
Great reaction bro
Am really enjoying your take on music - thank you for sharing these reactions! I’m seeing a lot of recommendations for Headlights and Beautiful but a different one that could have interest is ‘Beautiful Pain’ with Sia. I have PTSD and to me this track is a beautiful description of post- traumatic growth that I found helped my own healing. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this if you get the chance as it’s a very different type of soul- bearing and a different stage of personal growth.
Very nice, thanks for the request!😊👍
Fastest I've clicked a video in a while! I've been waiting for this one!!!!!
Thanks so much!😊👍
Geeze listening to this as an adult just makes me cry so much. I feel so bad for everything he had to go through or anyone else who dealt with this.
New to your videos but i love them!
Every time I hear Eminem talking about Healy I'm crying my eyes out. I lost my mother when I was 5 and my relationship with my father was always really bad. So it fulfills me to hear about fathers that, despite all their problems they're doing their best to put their children first. Great video btw:)
*Hailie
@@JasonZakrajsek you could see past that. I'm greek, and not a native english speaker.
Perfect Reaction!
When he talks about taking out the bullets out of that gun, he is referring to an episode when he pistol whipped a guy who was kissing Kim. If the gun was still loaded, maybe he'd end up shooting at both.
Other rappers made fun about the fact he ran around with an unloaded gun, he says it's the smartest thing he did.
So true they been thru so much trauma eminiem one of my favorite artist ❤️
great reaction video. cheers from Nj.
This song hits me on spiritual level, my Dad is a alcoholic my Mom is a gambling addict. They arguing almost everyday, my Dad would throw and destroy stuff around house or break some mirrors. My Mom keep pawning stuff around the house including my bicycle that I need to go to school and I had to sleep at friend’s house because my Mom wouldn’t let me sleep in the house to hide the fact she pawn my bicycle from my Dad. I left them for 13 years now back when I was 16 years old.
Well, this is definitely a very unique reaction to this song. I love it!
I agree with you - Eminem has a way to be open about some things in his life that make him so relateable. This song in particular hit me when it first came on MTV in 2002 even though I'd never been much of a rap-fan. Took me years to appreciate the genre as a whole (to my defense - I'm German so tehre wasn't as much out on radio as in the US) but this one truly hooked me. I could relate even though I've got the best parents in the world . Great choice
PS Another great song to tackle by Eminem (apart from Headlights) would probably be Deja Vu or Going through Changes. Both have the same subject, so you can probably choose either.
Thanks so much for watching and for the comment. It’s cool to see where you’ve come regarding rap.😊👍
GREAT REACTION. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, almost at a 100k!!! LETS GOOO. 999, Take Care Everyone.
Thanks Mazin!😊👍
I recommend headlights as well! A very personal song you could break down a good bit, love the channel man do more Mac Miller as well! Try hand me downs you would really like it I think, has a good news/peaceful vibe
Hi, I'm liking your videos! They're really great! I almost want to ask you for advice but I'm too introverted to follow through with that lol often times I reach out for help or advice but then I run from it because talking about it scares me I guess idk, just wanted you to know I appreciate the videos and your very inspiring, so thank you !
5:04 Unfortunately you are 100% correct with that assessment. My parents divorced when I was about 10/11 years old (I’m 49 now)and my dad didn’t make any effort to have a relationship with me after that, never mind a good relationship. The divorce came out of nowhere for me because, I have to give my parents credit, they NEVER argued or fought around me or in my earshot. I can’t remember a single time I heard or saw them fighting or even arguing.
After my dad left, I always had to call him, and when we made plans for him to pick me up, 9 times out of 10 (I’m NOT exaggerating), I would be sitting at the kitchen window for hours, hoping the next car would be his, but of course it wasn’t. He wouldn’t even call to cancel, just didn’t show and ignored my calls for weeks after that. I guess he didn’t want to be called out. He got remarried and had 3 more kids. I love my stepmom and my brother and sisters but his behavior towards me never changed. Not even after our son was born.
I told myself a thousand times, I’m done running after him, and trust me I have, but like you said, at the end of the day he is still my dad. I usually do pretty good throughout the year but there are 2 days when it really hits me and I get emotional. One is his birthday and Father’s Day.
I guess the reason why I’m writing this LONG comment is that we just celebrated Father’s Day 2 days ago (May 9th) here in Germany, and it doesn’t matter how hard I try, I can’t stop being emotional about the fact that my dad does not seem to give a damn about me and my family.
The last time I reached out to him was on his 70th birthday 2 years ago. We ended the conversation with him guaranteeing he would call us around a week later so we could set a date for a BBQ (his bday is in July). Here it is almost 2 years later and I’m still waiting for that call. As much as it hurts,I’m DONE reaching out, because the disappointment of him blowing me and my family off again after reaching out, hurts even more. Because in the end all I ever wanted from him was just to love me. That’s it! Nothing else.
Sorry for the rant but I have to say, I feel A LOT better getting this off of my chest, even if nobody ever reads this post ‘till the end. 😊
Send much love and respect for what you do from Germany ❤
