    I'm so sorry to hear about your dad man. This video is heartbreaking and I'm talking about your reaction and your stories too. This music video is absolutely heartbreaking but it didn't make me cry (I know I'm one of the few that didn't cry). But hearing you talk about your dad and his heart attack... I don't know man that just fucking got me. My dad who's my best friend just recently had a heart attack scare and seeing you cry fucking hurt... Thanks for opening up man, loved this vid from you.

    This video was one of your best. Its something you dont see in youtubers anymore. Being real. Being human. I applaud you for posting this video. Although you may not even read this, i love your channel and have found several new bands because of you. Me and my wife love your stuff and i hope you are doing well in these crazy times.
    This song made me think back on my own grandparents. All of mine are gone and my last one was my grandmother on my mom's side. She was the sweetest person. She had remarried after my grandfather passed and in later years, her dementia started becoming more apparent. I only saw her a couple times a year, mainly at easter and thanksgiving. She would ask me if i had met a nice girl, and i would have to remind her that she was in fact, at my wedding. Over time, she stopped recognizing us and had to be reminded who we were. She didnt even recognize her own husband. In a way, her passing was easier on us because the woman we all grew up with was no longer there. My heart goes out to anyone going through similar situations. You are not alone.

    I'm glad that you ended up doing this video. I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad, I really am. It is hard to not listen to this song and just feel every loss at once. Breaking my heart with those tears! This song really hits hard. What's crazy to me is that the breakdown, as it is getting slower, with Courtney vocalizing is actually exactly what I felt like during the biggest loss that I've been through. It's amazing to me that they were able to put that into music, whether it be Constance losing her memory or it be in the context of Courtney losing her grandmother. It sounds like loss. This is absolutely my song of the year, no question.

    It is hard to put this out there, but I lost my sister during birth to Trisome 18. Essentially her heart and brain weren't fully developed yet, but she was ready to come out. Long story short that is a shitty thing for a 7 year old to witness and is probably the reason I am a metalhead to the extent that I am. Also why I am so empathetic. The line, "It's hard to lose and wonder why" really got me. Mainly because I was 7 and didn't fully understand what death was and most certainly didn't think you could die before being born. May also be why I have always been more mature than the other kids at school. Now I am in college and only really "cry" about it on her birthday.

    I'm sorry for your loss, the death of a parent must be... I can't even imagine how difficult it must be. I'm a nurse, I'm sad to say I see people with dementia every day and it's tragic. I have to push what I'm seeing to the back of my mind to do my job, but every now and then the gravity of what old age does to people and the sad and lonely lives most of the elderly live can get to me too. To live is to suffer, that's why we've all got to grasp on to those moments of happiness while we can. All my love brother from across the pond.

  • @ascorpion2002

    I can relate to this song to a 'T'. I lost my father to dementia back in 2017 and to watch his last moments asking who I was and why I chose to spend time with him was something I was prepared for because he truly didn't recognize who I was even though he raised me from infant to right at his final breath. I accepted that his time was up, but it was the look in his eyes that haunted me for some time after because he was extremely terrified that it was happening. I stayed by his side til his suffering was over..once the nurse confirmed it was indeed over, I calmly exited his room and collapsed openly weeping that he lived 62 years and raised/watched over me for 34 of them only to forget who I was. I think about him everyday knowing somewhere 'up there', that he is proud of the man I turned out to be.

    Lost my grandpa to Alzheimer’s/dementia. I thank God now that it happened before COVID did. We were all able to see him and be together in the nursing home and then the hospital. Sometimes he’d have moments of clarity and I’m forever grateful I got to be present for one of them. I saw him after that but he had no idea who I was or who he even was, so to my mind it’s the last conversation I had with my grandpa. He was a man of faith, and asked me to read to him from the Bible. I went with the 23rd psalm (the lord is my shepherd, I shall not want...he leads me by still waters and green pastures...though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me...and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever). He squeezed my hand with more strength than I thought he had left, and I saw he was crying which of course got me crying and I just squeezed his hand back and said “you’re going to be okay” and he nodded and we just cried together awhile. This song and review takes me back there to that moment and now I’m crying again and it’s okay. I’m thankful. I fear no pain but literally losing my mind is the single most terrifying thing in the world to me. I too am a man of faith but also of doubt and this is my biggest trust issue personally. Thanks man, enjoy your videos.

    Hi from France man. I don't know if you will see this comment, I couldn't react before, it was too hard for me.. but I still want to right it now.
    Second time I watched this reaction, and second time I cried.. because I can only feel how you were at this moment.
    Few times ago, I lost a beautiful person who was like a second mum, a person who got Alzheimer and god it was so hard.. so hard to see someone you're close too, who doesn't even remember you, or maybe for 5 seconds sometimes...
    And as if it was not enough, 3 months ago, I lost my mum.. my only parent, the one who took care of me, my sister and my brothers so well, whatever the cost she paid for it. My true guardian angel.
    And a b*stard decided that he could take her from us, as if taking the life of someone was something normal.. I still can't believe, atm I'm writing to you, what happened. I just know there is a big hole in my heart, something I could never heal, something which could never be replaced.. someone I could never say again "I love you". All of that.. because narcissistic perverts, a monster, decided he had any right to do this kind of things.
    But she gave me something really important, something I will use for sure to make my dreams come true, something which will helps me during the rest of my life.. the strengh to go forward without turning back, and do everything to success. This strengh she got during all her life, to grow up without parent, to take care of us.. I will use it the best way possible.
    She's my guardian angel, and she will always be.. even if she's physicaly not here.
    I saw a lot of people telling their stories in comments, and to be honest it warms my heart. To you brother, and to everyone in comments (or not) who lived something like this or maybe, sadly, actually living it, I wish everyone to feel better and happiness, because you all deserve it. Losing a parent, a grandparent, a sister, a brother, etc.. nothing of all of this is simple to live, it can't be forgetten, for my case it can't be forgiven.. but we all have to go forward for them, for the ones who are still beside us, and more important.. for ourself.
    Have a good day everyone, and if some people are not really fine actually, be sure a good day will come, a day which will bring you happiness and hope.. and I wish it to happens fast for everyone!
    Much love brother

    This song came out 3 days before my grandmother died of dementia and related medical issues. Because of covid I couldn't be there with her in the end so I had this song on repeat. I'm proud of you for not editing out the tears and dealing with the emotions. This song definitely NAILS the sadness in watching a loved one whither in front of you. My grandmother Nancy was such a strong and fierce woman her whole life and to see her reduced to a confused, whimpering shell of her former self seemed like an especially cruel trick the universe was playing. Besides the emotions of seeing the items in the background of the shots disappearing as Constance forgets the memories that make those items have meaning to her the way the ending breakdown get so loud and chaotic as her thoughts become so clouded and confused was brilliant. The way the tempo trudges down into a grinding halt and the distorted synth chords blead into the lush keys as she is reunited with her husband hit me so hard I wept openly. Thank you for sharing this and being strong enough to allow us to relate to you through it.

    This song tore me tf up when i first heard it as well, it got me thinking about all the loved ones I've lost over the 21 years I've been on this earth.
    I honestly can't listen to this song too much because it sucks me into such a depressive state that it makes it hard to go about my day without being an emotional wreck.
    Really appreciate the reaction my guy and I can't tell you how much it means that you even uploaded the video in it's entirety. Thank You so much.🖤

    My truly heartfelt condolences to hear about your father. I lost mine very suddenly in 2009 and it hasn't gotten much easier, to be honest. He was mid-sentence with me having a conversation when he suddenly had a heart attack and died in front of me. He was 52. I know exactly how you feel. I have since realized that you will never "get over" what happened but, rather, learn to live with the change. No matter how much time goes by, I find there are certain things that send me straight back to the shock and horror that I felt that cold February morning. Moving songs, in particular, are very quick in this aspect. Just know that the pain you feel will always signify how much you loved him. I truly hope you find some sense of peace soon, although it will undoubtedly take time. I always hold out hope that I will see my dad again after I pass and I hope the same for you. Thank you for all you do. You affect all of our lives for the better and THAT is a testament to how successfully your dad raised you. Much love from Minnesota.

    Sorry to hear about your dad man...i lost my dad 12 years ago, my grandma a couple of years later. I still cry for both of them, it will never stop. But it won't be pure grief, for me it's just brief moments of happiness that i had those people in my life and also sadness it couldn't last longer...

    real talk. i feel ya on the father stuff. sorry to hear he passed. my dad passed away as well suddenly, from a heart attack as well a few years back. he was only 52. was toast before the ambulance could even arrive on scene. hardest thing I've seen to this day was my father's lifeless shell in the hospital a few hours later and it still chokes me up to even think about it. I had no idea it even happened until my aunt and cousin came to get me at work. Makes me regret a lot in my own life, as we always didn't see eye to eye, and then I catch myself thinking "just one more day of watching the stars and shooting the shit". you take it for granted and then it's ripped away before you can blink.

    Love this reaction. My step mom died 3 days before this song came out and i love this song even tho i cry every time. Then end when it gets chaotic and heavy and then the piano comes back in and it feels like everything is gonna be ok. I cry every time at that part. ❤

    That was real man, I felt a lot like that when I listened. I have a Grandmother who's suffering from Alzheimer and just lost my Grandfather who was her rock. seeing this takes me back to how my family struggled to keep up now that she's with us.
    Don't feel bad about having that reaction man, that's real shit and what makes music transcend just notes.

    I’m so glad you decided to do this. For some reason (and I’ve only seen a few of your reactions) I remember thinking “I would love his opinion on this” and you did not disappoint. Yeah this song and video still wreck me, but it’s beautiful. Sorry for your loss and keep doing exactly what you’re doin. It’s awesome.

    I'm with you man, i've lost my dad in 2017 through cancer and i'm still not over it but it's important to keep the good memories alive.
    It was a worst time time of my life yet because after his dead my girlfriend left me, my old band split up and i fell into a deep depression which was hard to get out again, something i could have never managed without a good friend of mine and i'm very thankful for this.
    I'm also a musician but never managed to put my emotions into a song yet, last year i released my new bands first album, there wasn't a song about him or my emotions but at least i dedicated it to him.

  • @murmaiderx-1654
    @murmaiderx-1654 3 роки тому

    Man, what can I say about it? I totally feel you and I'm so sorry for your lost. I collapsed watching this video because I can relate. My grandfather passed away and he was like my father, he raised me and he had a brain stroke that made him struggle for almost a year and he kept forgetting many things and he couldn't move anymore, he died in 2014.
    My mother was diagnosed of breast cancer a year later and during that time I had to leave my country (Venezuela) in order to get her money and help. She passed away almost 2 years ago and I was here (Colombia) without a proper job and being unable to go there when I wanted to.
    I feel you, man. It's ok to face our feelings and my advice is to remember the best of them in order to move forward.
    Horns up, brother.

    Much love, brother. Nobody is immune to experiencing the hardships of life. While we all cope with our feelings differently, expressing those feelings is perfectly normal. My great grandfather recently passed away from Alzheimers and my great grandmother more recently passed away as well. So this song definitely hit home for me too. I'm glad you uploaded your sincere and genuine reaction from the song. No one should sit with their emotions alone so I'm glad you expressed them to your viewers. We support you til the end!

    Man you are a legend for being brave enough to let your guard down and be so honest emotionally about the video and your dad. I lost my father-in-law a year ago (11/11/2020) due to a sudden heart attack and I've struggled to grieve properly since, but seeing you be so forthcoming emotionally has been inspiring as silly as that sounds. Keep being awesome dude 🤘

    I feel for you man and all the fatherless and/or motherless out there at a young age. As someone who lost both and my great aunt who was like a second grandma to me who also had Alzheimer’s it was a very strange time. Sad but you definitely in my opinion become stronger in time but it’s tough to deal with for sure. Spiritbox did a wonderful thing putting this song and video out much love to them. And much love to you dude it. You won’t forget but life returns in time. Stay strong man. ✌🏻

My godmother died from Covid -19 this years, both of my grandmother dont remember who i am cus of alzheimer, i can relate to both the video and the lyrics in it and damn its hard every single time but such a beautiful song. Great reaction, great story, i cried with you :(

    lost my grandma last year, this song hits the feels for sure, she too had dementia and stopped eating etc. it was sad to watch her degenerate over time. while I miss her and love her, I know she is at peace. Thanks for the reaction @Galacticriminal, this song is amazing and you're my fav reactor! Feeling connects us all.

  • @MrBraz33
    @MrBraz33 3 роки тому

    Man this song just has the IT factor. It has the feeling and emotion behind it meaning the whole true story of both the song writing and video. It also has what I would describe as that "push" from calm to fear almost. Being someone whose grandmother and several since pasted and current relatives have dealt with dementia I just think the combo of it all together just take me back to memories in both a good and bad way. It's an amazing job imo I hope it's a big hit for them and honestly even with all this I didn't really get choked up till I watched your video talking about your dad.
    Also would like to put out there the old woman in the video did a great job with her acting.

    I cried for who knows how long after seeing this video for the first time. I lost my grandfather in almost this same way. Every time I hear this song I break down. Now it's not tears of sadness but of joy and happiness. That I got to experience his presence on this planet for the short time that it was. Bless you and all that feel this way when watching this.

  • @Gabriel-no9ty

    This song and this video, I will carry it with me until I have life probably, I perfectly understand that moment I felt the same empathy, my grandmother slowly died with dementia / Alzheimer's first her memory and then her slim body didn't hold up, it was hard for me to realize that my dear granny was leaving day by day, in her green eyes I no longer reflected myself as before, she no longer remembered what I called myself, only the memory brings me to tears. I'm sorry for your story man!

    Brother, I lost my grandfather to dementia 2 weeks before this was released. The last time he recognised me was on my wedding day in August and he passed in November. This song brings the exact emotions you showed and I'm glad you posted this. His death hit me so hard, the closest person I have ever lost.

    I don't think you told me about your dad but I am so sorry for your loss man. I lost my grandfather who I was very close to earlier this year from three heart attacks in succession while having surgery on his intestines.
    Then last year my dad started exhibiting the early symptoms of dementia. It is mostly under control now with meds but he isn't really the dad I always knew. And I have to watch him deteriorate every day. Your story hit hard man. If you ever want to talk my DMs are always open to you.
