  • Ronnie Radke's reimagined series is absolutely phenomenal, and when I heard he covered "Last Resort", you know it was on my list. I actually have heard the original song by Papa Roach in passing after reading the lyrics, and gave it a listen before analyzing this crazy good cover by Falling In Reverse.
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Falling In Reverse performing "Last Resort" for the first time.

    A lot of people have pointed out that the ending is a reverse of how Watch the World Burn ended, but I think it’s more than that. I think this video takes place immediately afterwards. People drove him into a rage that burned the world, and now he’s walking through the scorched earth that’s left, upset and depressed over what he’s become. As he pulls out of his depression, he reverses the damage he had done and heals the planet.

      I think you are spot on. Watch the world burn was a song about rage and being fed up with being pushed around that one finally snaps and burns the world around them in a metaphorical sense. Wether that be alcohol or drug abuse etc. I think In this song Ronnie was not only showing us an amazing reimagined version of this song, he sung it in a way we all relate to. We all have demons in our past that haunt us and sometimes they get the better of us. Sometimes we ask for help and the sad reality is that help doesn’t always come. I think here Ronnie was trying to say that it’s alright to scream “fuck the world” but only you can realise the mistakes and take the right steps forward to rebuild the world you want and focus on you. You are what matters and only you can truely fix the world. Your world.

      I felt this type of depression for most of my childhood. This isn't just adult depression he's portraying. He's portraying the deepest darkest parts of depression; age means nothing. Papa Roach's original version was a song to rock out to when I was growing up. This version of that song I feel is the version that actually shows how I grew up. Angry, scared, crying out for help before it's too late, and for me it almost was.

    As a veteran who has suffered from PTSD, depression and anxiety, I can tell you that I have been there. I used to say, "I'm fine" when I really wasn't. My family kept me alive. My son saved my life and he doesn't even know it. Because, "suicide doesn't end the pain, it just passes it to someone else."
    I'm always here for anyone who needs someone to talk to.

  • @ButterNutSqwoosh
    @ButterNutSqwoosh 9 місяців тому +267

    You know how sometimes you come across an artist who no matter the genre or song they do, their voice for some reason just resonates with you? Ronnie is that artist for me. When he goes heavy with the vocals (think heavy rock/metal), I feel like he echoes my inner anger. When he goes soft, it's like he gives voice to the quiet parts of me that are too afraid to speak up. And when he implements vocal cries, it's like he shares some of my pain and desperation. It's very rare to come across an artist who kind of embodies the parts of you that are normally shunned and gives them free reign to be expressed creatively.
    And I think he became this kind of 'release' for a lot of people. I know that pretty much no matter what song I listen to from Falling in Reverse, it'll evoke an emotional response from me. Don't know shit about him as a person but I don't feel like I need to go google thirty articles about him to be able to feel connected to him through music, and just enjoy the artistry rather than the man behind it.
    This was a ramble. Anyway, time to continue the video.

      You're the only one in your life that has the power to change this, others like me can tell you whatever they want, you have to be the one to want to change your life to the better.

      “Autotune” these days is generally used colloquially to mean artificial pitch correction, of which there are many different types and methods possible through audio software. Not all pitch correction sounds the same or at all like the cliche autotune sound from the early 00s that I assume you think I’m referring to.
      To be clear, yes there is clearly a lot of pitch correction and other vocal effects happening on this track, and I think you have to be deluded NOT to hear it.
      I’d never even heard of this band or Ronnie before hearing this track. I’m sure he’s a fantastic singer. That changes nothing about how grotesque the vocal production is on this to my ear.

Also the fact that you’re admiring it from every point of view!! Nobody else reacts like this, it’s typically from a strictly emotional or technical standpoint. Never both, that I’ve seen anyways.

Great use of the strings and emotion filled vocals. I Have heard a handful of covers that honor the original yet change the message to a more modern look at society, Disturbed Sound of Silence and Johnny Cash Hurt come to mind. I could put these 3 songs on repeat all day long. Great reaction as always!

    this cover, absolutely every single time, makes me sob my eyes out. It's so so fitting for me, it almost describes myself how sometimes I'm happy
    and then all of a sudden I feel like I'm trapped in my head and nothing seems good anymore, like my mind is playing tricks on me, although my life is good and even
    fantastic a times, it tricks me into thinking I'm alone, I have nobody, I'm better off not here, even though I have a loving wife and son.
    The lyrics sang this way drags me into my mind where I'm screaming for help and everyone says it's gonna be fine but I'm not okay and I need help but as the lyrics say
    "I'm running and I'm crying". Thank you Ronnie for giving me some sort of grounding mechanism to let these feelings out as tears instead of holding them in.

    My theory on the statues is that they represent the actual music in the mind.

Seen 4 or 5 people already react to it, but to be honest I have been waiting for your reaction the most. As I know we'll get way more in depth with your analysis.

And listening to you react and explain and slow things down and replay parts helps my brain to really process what’s happening. The next time I hear it, it hits even harder.

    As talented as Ronnie is, I love how humble he can actually be sometimes. When this came out, there was a video that followed soon after of Ronnie meeting with Jacoby of Papa Roach (creator of the original version of Last Resort) to share his reimagined version. The entire time, you can see how nervous Ronnie is. Even though he made this version his own, he really wanted to honor the original version at the same time.

    The more different voices express these things, the more different people will hear and understand them, and realize that they are not alone. The mastery that Ronnie has over his voice helps him to express the lyrics and music very purely and directly. They go straight in to you like a laser beam. Brilliant rendition. Thank you Elizabeth for bringing this to the forefront! Marillion made a concept album called "Brave" on the topic of suicide and some of the ways someone can come to be in this place. The complete album is a masterpiece. One of the songs from it is "The Great Escape" and it is also very moving and gut-wrenching.

    • @iamcraig85

      The "mastery that Ronnie has over his voice" yet has to use auto tune as a crutch. Why can't people just make their own songs? Jacoby's message was already out there. This "reimagining" songs trend is annoying. If you are going to cover a song, cover the song. Don't make it boring and predictable like 95% of these are. Just making good music luke warm at best

      But also heard the original non stop on the Radio back in the day and I'd never known what it was about couldn't tell what Jacoby was even saying, this version and stripping it down to make the Lyrics the focus made me love the song had he just done a copy and paste cover probably wouldn't have cared much for it because I still wouldn't know what it was saying.

And it’s not all depressing…some of it is really, really angry. Some of it is irreverent (well…a lot of it is!), some of it is just plain silly. I was already a fan but seeing him live gave me even more appreciation for how much he brings in his own headspace to each performance. I highly recommend for anyone who has a chance to see them.

    Elizabeth - I love this rendition of the song. It is so poignant and powerful. Ronnie does amazing things with his voice to convey the emotion that he is feeling. As someone who has suffered long with anxiety and depression, this rendition speaks to me and fills my heart with acceptance, knowing that other people feel the same. I cried the very first time I heard it and your reaction has brought back that flood of emotion from my first listen.
    A few things that you mentioned in your video:
    >I believe the movie that you are looking for is called Inception.
    > I believe that the chamber group is wearing grey because all of the colors in the video are also gray and muted, thus they are following in line with that. I believe that when you suffer from depression and struggle with yourself in this manner, the world loses its color and the dull tones in the video represent that loss.
    Another vocalist that does well to convey the pain that they feel through their voice is Maria Brink from In This Moment. I would like to suggest the song the fighter. Maria has a long history of abuse from a family member and she has done well to turn that pain into an amazing career. I would love to hear your take on her voice, and as a bonus, the video is a head shot of her singing.

The original was perfect for that time in my life. Now, i'm just so tired, so sad, so defeated. This reimagined version, along with the video, puts it all into perspective. I just this week started a partial hospitalization program for anxiety/depressio and ptsd. So the sadness, the ups and downs in the vocals and the rebuilding at the end is my life right now.
