Vin and Sori react and lyrically breakdown Parkway Drive Wishing Wells! vinandsori.com
Day One
I've attempted to make first contact with the busy couple. I've asked them to look into either "Malfeitor" by Watain, or "Tearing the Veil from Grace" by Cradle of Filth. In my opinion, each song would make for a good listen, so I thought they would be good recommendations.
We shall see how the coming days unfold...
Hahahhaha u made us laugh!!! Keep up log! 😂 -Sori🤟🏻
I think Waters of Ain is a better song to react to and interpret, because it isn't just an ode to Satan, instead it's about death and transcendence, which I think is a more interesting subject. Cheers
That was the first one I thought of, but I feel like Malfeitor is easier to get into for someone who hasn't heard Watain before. I agree with you none the less.
This message will self-destruct in 10.9.8.7...
Ooooh Tearing the veil pleeeaaase!!
This song is about the loss of loved ones. This is the aspect of rage. The final song of the album is the contrast of this song. The Colour of Leaving is about loss but it is the aspect of grief.
Listen to these 3 songs in this order.
1. Wishing wells
2. Chronos
3. The colour of leaving
I second this
Agreed and I was under the impression this song was also about their friend who died from the band Architects
I hope they read this.
Matt H another song on the album is about that guy
Third this.
Should’ve watched the actual music video to this! It just shows his face the entire time and his emotion is overwhelming
I watched that clip the day it dropped and seeing Winstons face during the "ask me how I'm coping and I'll smile and say "I'm just fine"" part was powerful as hell
Yeah his face makes the video 100x better...
@@SyNFuLLj yeah they really missed out on that.
agree, His emotions is a part of a song, without that it's not a song, it's a part of a Song, a little fuckin' bit of it (I am sorry for my ugly English)
Fuck yeah you can see his expressions they are wicked ! 💪🏽
"Sometime's all you wish for is a place, is a place to place the blame." Sums up the whole song. He's grieving so much that it makes him irrational. I love it. It's a very human feeling,
From Winston (the vocalist):
"..."Wishing Wells" is a meditation on the pain and confusion of loss.
"'Wishing Wells' is the compression of grief into song," says McCall. "It's attempting to place blame when there is none, seeking answers where there is only emptiness, and ultimately trying to find some kind of reason and meaning to justify the ultimate loss we will all be faced with in life. This is how this chapter begins and will end.""
I became a Parkway Drive fan with this release. Another youtuber I watch did a livestream listen party to this and I absolutely fell in love with this album. The lyrics to every single track are deep and intense as hell. I highly recommend giving this whole album a listen. You'll have a field day with the lyrics, Vin. Guaranteed. Though, fair warning, have tissues ready for The Colour of Leaving. That song absolutely WRECKED me the first time I heard it and I still have trouble not crying when I hear it. It's also brilliant how the outro to that track fades perfectly sonically and lyrically into the beginning of Wishing Wells. Absolutely mind blowing. Damnit, I will pay both of you to listen to it. I will buy you the damn album if I have to. I really enjoyed your Biblical viewpoint in regards to the lyrics on this track. I'd love to hear what you have to say about some of the other tracks on Reverence.
As always, much love you two!
i been a parkway drive fan for ages but this new album is just amazing i would love to see them reacting to it
Completely agree with you on the Reverence album. When they released The Void and Prey, I was a bit doubtful. IRE didn't really grasp me so I was really hoping for an album that would hit me hard. Those two releases weren't really making me feel like all the other albums before IRE, but Wishing Wells very much did. Then they released the full album and I can't say anything else than: it's a fucking masterpiece. Like you said, beginning with Wishing Wells en ending with Colour of Leaving gave the entire album so much more weight. It had a very personal story to tell and shares the feelings the lads from Parkway Drive have been feeling.
My favourite album of all time is Killing With a Smile by them as well but there might be a chance Reverence takes the cake! Or maybe i'll say fuck it and they both get the number one spot. Anyway, gonna keep listening to it for a looooong time!
Been A Parkway Drive Since "Killing With A Smile" But Wishing Wells Became My Favorite Song Because Of The Emotions Put Inside This Song.. Losing Friends And Family To Cancer Is A Hard Thing To Cope With
It took me over a year to realize the noise in the background of The Colour Of Leaving was Winston digging a grave
I've lost my best friend to suicide, she was suffering neglect from friends depression and anxiety and one day she couldn't take it...I was the last person she texted before she shot herself....this song I dedicate to her because her time wasn't to come...so if I could I would kill God and the devil to bring her back so she can live her life fully...I miss you Izzy 2000- 2017....Be free Little Bird
Just and FYI guys. According to Parkway Drive-frontman Winston McCall, guitarists Luke Kilpatrick and Jeff Ling, bassist Jia O’Connor, and drummer Ben Gordon-“Wishing Wells” is a meditation on the pain and confusion of loss.
“‘Wishing Wells’ is the compression of grief into song,” says McCall. “It’s attempting to place blame when there is none, seeking answers where there is only emptiness, and ultimately trying to find some kind of reason and meaning to justify the ultimate loss we will all be faced with in life. This is how this chapter begins and will end.”
Great reaction do more parkway drive!!! Dark days, karma, sleepwalker, boneyards, crushed, bootom feeter. They have great songs
definitley bottom feeder and darkdays are my favorite :D
Sleepwalker is absolutely one of their best
Waddya mean! Romance is dead all the way
And horizons from the album horizons
Man said bootom feeter
Winston has said this song is about the grieving process he went through after losing people very close to him to cancer.
Relatable I lost mom my to it
That is the first song of the album and it amazingly connects with the last one - "The Colour of the Leaving"
Wishing Wells:
"I spoke a vow today and asked if God would come and play
[...]
The Colour of the Leaving:
"Never know how small your voice is
Till you're arguing, arguing with God"
[...]
So glad you reacted to this song, this quickly became one of my top favorite songs by Parkway Drive. This whole album is just 😍👍🏻 the emotion is insane 🤘🏼
"How does a created being attack or fight their creator?"
Have you even seen the terminator movies?!
You guys are awesome! Loving the videos!!!
What i mostly love about you two is that you go so deep in analyzing a song lyrically and musically! Even though i dont believe in Christ or a specific god the conversation was very interesting!
I also want to remind you my suggestion ''Persefone - Living waves'' Have a good day!
YES! persefone's a great recommendation :)
My thoughts exactly. I love their deep, introspective conversations.
Awesome video guys! Glad I found your channel. More Parkway Drive Please!
Appreciate the review you two! Great breakdown as expected. Excited to keep watching you guys on this journey you started.
We’ve just begun !!!
Yall are great. Love listening to yall everday!!!!!
Love listening to yall! !!!
i'm so glad you guys did this reaction! god bless
Excellent, thought provoking review. Thank you for not dismissing this music. Having these conversations allow people the confidence to find out who they are. I will never dismiss your content in the future. You two are important in this world. Peace.
Yessssssss!! Thank you guys!
One of those people he lost was friend Tom Searle (Architects), he refers to him and others in their song The Colour of Leaving off the same album. Very sad and powerful song. Parkway Drive - Boneyards & The Colour of Leaving
Architects - Gone With The Wind & Doomsday
You guys are awesome.
so pumped you guys went for a parkway song
you guys have a new subscriber, I really love your reactions!
Just recently found your channel and I love it! Sending some love from down under
Your conversations are really interesting to listen to.
The Vocalist wrote this song about someone he loved had passed away and he's feeling lost and losing faith. So, he's describing the pain he felt
Love PWD, And you two, plz do more of them
damn your channel is blowing up :) must be one the the most growing communities at the time. very nice job vin and sori :)
The deep analysis though loved it you discussed almost every aspect of it
Finally!!! Yes!! Parkway Drive reaction!!!
Congratz on 100.000 subscribers! (I'll just leave this here in advance)
Hahahahaha I know right ??
I LOVE how you guys make the reactions an actual discussion. Breaking down the lyrics and its philosophy rather than just listening and just saying it’s good with minimal review. Amazing review/reaction. Will love to see more of your videos now. Why did you not show the video though? The video was very clever btw it would have been nice for you to discuss it as well.
I just saw these guys they put on an amazing concert.
Thank you guys!
That was tremendous!
Like your after-discussions.
Cheers from Russia 😻
This is from an article, and what they lyrics are about.
"'Wishing Wells' is the compression of grief into song," says McCall. "It's attempting to place blame when there is none, seeking answers where there is only emptiness, and ultimately trying to find some kind of reason and meaning to justify the ultimate loss we will all be faced with in life. This is how this chapter begins and will end."
(:
"The devil and god have died inside me" which means he has lost belief
Well you can add Karnivool and Northlane to the awesome Australian bands Both worth a reaction!
Unearthlywhales Northlane!!!
Karnivool - Lifelike
old northlane please!! not that i think they would understand what they are about
The song for me deals with the pain of loss. When you lose someone special to you and you become sad and mad at the entire world. If you watch the Official Video the facial expressions represent the features of someone in pain on the inside.
Best metal band of all time, without question
Thank you for a good reaction...
I love your analysis! This song is about grief ultimately. Winston is talking on the grief of his dog who passed away, and also about Tom Searle from Architects that passed away and how that affected him. You should look up some Northlane, i would love to see you do a reaction to Genesis/scarab and or Worldeater! the lyrics on those songs are intriguing, also another aussie band :)
I'm glad you guys did this review! Please react to Parkway Drive - Prey
This is better than a Podcast! 🤟🏼
Wishing Wells' is the compression of grief into song,"It's attempting to place blame when there is none, seeking answers where there is only emptiness, and ultimately trying to find some kind of reason and meaning to justify the ultimate loss we will all be faced with in life. Said the lead singer
Winston (vocals) lost someone close to him. The song is dealing with loss and coping with the pain of why God does the things he does. (I'm a believer by the way, but I can understand the pain and coping method).
Hellborn Savior I was an atheist for a long time. So I can totally understand the perspective. I've just experienced things that gave me a different outlook and changed my opinion on the matter. I don't judge anyone who doesn't believe in a higher being. And a lot of my beliefs are outside of the traditional indoctrinations that are taught and preached. But again, that's just me and what I've experienced and researched that has lead me to that place.
The Color of leaving is about the Architects Guitarist
love how people pronounce Australia, they make it sound like oustralia, us Australian pronounce it more like Astrailya. It sounds almost like we say a really quick and cut off "ass" a compressed "trail" and a classic "ya"
The dali thundering concept - myth of happiness. I absolutely love the way the video was edited and directed
Hey you two, i really enjoy your videos. Its great that you show lyric videos to the songs, so you can really concentrate on the music itself. I also love the way you analyse the thematic in all this depths - you take 40 min videos to take care of everything. Just wanted to say Thank You!
.. and recommend a song of „Fear Factory“ called „Fear Campaign“. I guess it could be interesting for you ;)
Oh yes, I was thinking about suggesting Fear Campaign myself. Mechanize is such a great album.
loved the in depth analysis as usual, thanks for all the time you guys take for these videos.
if you are interested in unusual bands from other countrys give crystal lake - apollo from japan a shot.
very dynamic and atmospheric metalcore that just makes you move.
so long, have a good one! :)
Yes!
I loved everything about this video. I love the way you two interact with each other and how you analyze the lyrics. As someone who has a decent understanding of the Christian religion, but considers myself non-religious, I can't help but be utterly engulfed and fascinated in the breakdown of the lyrics and how you relate them to the teachings of the bible. I have bookmarked a couple of your other videos for later tonight, and I deeply look forward to sitting down with a bowl of popcorn and a drink while watching them. Thank you for your contribution to the reaction community :D
Really enjoyed listening to you guys, your review allowed me to see and listen to the song from another perspective which is always good; in a more personal note as a raised christian and open minded person is comforting to find someone who is a religious person (and live by it as far as I can see) can listen and read into lyrics trying to understand rather than just point fingers and judge at first sight.
Amazing conversation, definitely got a subscriber here.
Thank you !
Love how you guys are open minded to discuss metal in your faith! Belive me, thats rare and admirable!
Growing an conversation is healthy and seeing stuff from others perspectives is amazing!
I wish you guys do some from a band of White metal(May I say Rob Rock?) and right after from Black metal(Bathory, I can trully say they can represent the style).
"'Wishing Wells' is the compression of grief into song," says McCall. "It's attempting to place blame when there is none, seeking answers where there is only emptiness, and ultimately trying to find some kind of reason and meaning to justify the ultimate loss we will all be faced with in life. This is how this chapter begins and will end." Seems like y'all hit the nail on the head. So much rage in this song, I love it.
Word! -Sori🤟🏻
Aussies don’t mess around when it comes to their metal. Alpha wolf, in hearts wake, make them suffer, thy art, capture the crown
*This is the meaning of the song:* The song talks about human decadence and negativity. Winston (the vocalist) went on Instagram and said “The song is about dealing with grief & loss in the aftermath of losing a loved one. Searching for a reason & a way of computing losing part of your life you will never get back. Looking for something to blame as a way of coping with the unthinkable”. This song and a good portion of the album is about the death of Tom Searle who was the lead guitarist for the band Architects (gotta react to them), and Winstons beloved dog. Thought you'd be interested.
Damn you and your wishing wells means something different to me. When someone loses someone dear to them peoples natural reaction is "oh I'm sorry for your loss". "I wish you well". Drown in it cause tonight I'm killing god...
This whole album carries an enormous message. Listen to the colour of leaving and it will make way more sense.
it's that moment when your in loss, when you can't believe what happened, and only anger is your solace. That is what this song is about.
This song is pure pain and rage, it's the most powerful song I've ever heard.. It really shows every feeling I have because of my best friend choose to die.. It consumes me, this is my feeling..
I absolutely love this channel and the deeply philosophical/theological thinking that goes on in the videos.
I know you did August Burns Red not too long ago, but I think it would be amazing to do a video over “Provision”, “King of Sorrow”, or “Existence”. Grrrrrreat lyrical content.
Peace and love friends! ✌🏼☺️
Definitely give some of their other songs a listen. I definitely recommend.
“Chronos”
“I Hope You Rot”
“Vice Grip”
“Into the Dark”
“Crushed”
But Vin you would LOVE the instrumentals in “Chronos” and in a song from a previous album. The song is called “Wild Eyes”
Gosh dang it, that ending though. So dang cute.
awesome fucking song the lyrics are heavy but thats how i feel sometimes after i loose someone i love
Sure... if you disregard crappy keyboard and weak vocals :P
also didnt hear a keyboard o.O
Florian I think he was mistaking the slide drums for a keyboard lol
No? My bad, it still sounds shitty tho.
Nope, 100% serious.
perfect with the electricityBall in Background
Reign of darkness- Thy art is murder (music video)
Land of snow and sorrow- Wintersun
Carbon phrases- Alkaloid
Crushed- Parkway Drive
First time watching you guys great intelligent reaction, very thought provoking. Machine Head - Descend the Shades of Night.
Fuck yeah guys I was hoping u would react to this song I was looking forward to what u would talk about for this one great fukin song by the way KEEP up the great reactions 🤘
From what i've heard from Winston (the vocalist) this song is about grief and rage after losing a loved one.
I'm a old school or OG Parkway fan from when they first started out. It'd be awesome if you did something from their first or second albums (Killing With A Smile and Horizons respectively) for a comparison of where they came from to where they are now (with this song)
Good review as always!
Listed!
Another good one, give nevermore this godless endeavor a listen, rock on \m/
Listed!
VinAnd Sori awesome!
Sori is gonna love that one I think. So complex musically and brilliant lyrics by Warrel Dane (RIP)
Be'Lakor is australian too and they are awesome ! Check out "An ember's arc" and "The smoke of many fires" !
Winston always hits you in the feels in regards to his writing. Amazing lyricist and definitely makes you feel what he feels or felt at that time. Awesome band, even more awesome live. Much respect for y'all doing these reaction videos. Y'all should react to more of their songs. Dark Days is a good one. Blue and the Grey is another one where you can feel raw emotion. Chronos, Fractures, Sleepwalker, Idols and Anchors, Horizons, Old Ghost New Regrets.. just a few y'all should consider reacting to. Loved the video and how y'all analyzed it. Just got a fellow follower in Christ as a subscriber. Keep it up!
Periphery - Mile Zero
Fit For A King - Ancient Waters
Silent Planet - Native Blood, Panic Room, Depths II.
Trivium, Slayer, Pantera, Parkway Drive, killing it this week🤘 also loved the Tool listening party (tho I missed it live😭) Keep it you two✌ The Tea Party-Psychopomp😉😉😉
“‘Wishing Wells’ is the compression of grief into song,” says McCall. “It’s attempting to place blame when there is none, seeking answers where there is only emptiness, and ultimately trying to find some kind of reason and meaning to justify the ultimate loss we will all be faced with in life. This is how this chapter begins and will end.” - epitaph.com/artists/parkway-drive/release/wishing-wells
Hey Vin & Sori. Have you ever read any books/literature, by Alan Watts?
The last line is crucial to the concept of the entire song. "The Devil and God have died inside me". The song is basically saying that he is killing off those concepts within himself. To rise above them.
here's a list of bands and songs i would love to see you guys listen to, all have great interesting lyrics and instruments
Architects - memento mori
Thy art is murder - puppet master
As i lay dying - sound of truth
the Amity affliction - geof sux 666
The song expresses the anger and helplessness about losing close people. So basically it's about death. There is kind of a second part on the Album, "the colour of leaving", highly recommend it. Love your reactions, keep up the good work. Greetings from germany :)
You guys should have watched Winston's actual video of this with his face in a monologue, very moving. You see the pain in his face.
Wow I completely forgot about this band! I used to listen to them a lot in high school
The song is about grief. he is creatively antagonising god as a way to to convey the message that he is hurting. if you move past the title and the first couple of verses he talks about how he is listening for sounds that are not there anymore. he misses someone or something. I know the singer doesnt believe there is a human like man governing earth. the first breakdown says
"Because when everything is empty
And your heart is set to cave
Sometimes all you wish for is a place
Is a place to place the blame."
I think this says more about what the song is saying then anything else.
the second break down starts with
"Because when everyone's expendable
And your heart can't take the wait
The last thing that you wish for is the face
Is the face to face the pain"
I believe he means that he is over waiting for the pain to subside and he is building the courage to go face to face with the pain, finally getting closure.
of course this is my take :)
I also just realised this vid was posted a almost a year ago so you probably know all this by now. haha anyway nice vid nice discussion \m/
Another interesting song about god you guys might really like to take a look at is the song nihilist by the band Architects
I think Broken Cross would hit this point even more accurate
or even these colours don't run
This song is about dealing with loss and I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the singer Winston Mccall wrote this song for Tom Searle of Architects because they were close friends
Nihilist. Do it do it
React to Between the buried and me "Swim to the Moon".Although, all their songs are unique
Orange Man We just have to look in the mirror and say Vin and Sori 3 times and it will be done.
Orange Man yeah They need to do less mainstream bands before they get too big.This channel is booming.Mudvayne and Korn and Slipknot fans will always be around but shit like the contortionist or dillinger escape plan may lose it's chance.
Hating me is conforming I got to them when they only had a few hundred subscribers and it still took me thirteen tries to get them to do the Hurt video. They did it, but I had to be relentless. I feel like there is no hope for any band/song at this point unless multiple people are repeatedly suggesting it.
Nice! Parkway drive is one of my favorite bands, I hope I can see them live sometime. Atlas and especially Deep Blue are my fav albums. Keep up the good work! Also friendly reminder to check out "And When He Falleth" from Theatre of Tragedy, I think it can create an interesting discussion ;)
Australian here - Imagine having amazing local metal groups like Parkway drive playing local venues all the time until they get big! There are so many. As a 10 year veteran of the scene, please allow me to recommend the next big Australian metal group (and possibly the HEAVIEST ive ever experienced).... Initiate Jericho.. song: Vile
This is fine Art of thy metal music❤️🔥🤘🏻👍🏻
Someone has already said it below, but the song is about your rage after losing a loved one, it's all about the rage that pushes you to snap at everything and everyone while you're trying to process the grief.
Seriously, check out the colour of leaving.
A Farewell to Arms, Descend the Shades of Night and Imperium - Machine Head
Choice Millionaire, Carnival of Rust and Drama for Life - Poets for the Fall
I know you guys said it’s listed already but please don’t forget about the Faceless - Sons of Belial 🙂
At the very start of the analysis I was fully convinced the lyrics were literal and it was just about someone being enraged at a higher power taking someone from them. That changed throughout the video, when you guys started reading into it you brought up some really interesting points. Hearing your point of view and your interpretations as believers and specially your reasoning for them made for some really engaging video. I only planned to watch maybe the first 10 minutes but ended up listening to the whole thing.
Whoa!!! Thanks!
Good jam...never heard of these guys
I'm still waiting for you guys to review Rings of Saturn
check out Be'lakor - The Smoke of Many Fires. They're from Australia too.
Branden Exactly! They are going to love that song. It's Opeth on steroids. Best Melodic Death Prog Metal around.
7:10
He was Friedrich Nietzsche.
This is such a powerful fucking song
Cheers, you two. Gotta plug Living Sacrifice again. Death Machine is the song.
Id actually reccomend you checking out more parkway drive songs. The singers lyrics are great in alot of sings. I enjoy seeing people break down meanings of songs like you two did in this video. Keep the videos going :)
We shall !
