Вставка

- After a long hiatus, the big homie Black Cat is back. I've wanted to react and interpret to "A Pale Tortured Blue" for ages. Heike's vocals shine and bring an additional depth to a song that will have you all up in your feels.
omg i love your interpretation, when i first listen to the song with the lyrics i thought about it in a more pessimistic way, with a pretty tragic turn, i though it being about suicide or at least a attempt of, because she said she "fail to realize" and then she has no peace she say "when there's peace within myself" she's longing for peace, and the pale torture blue "blistering" through in the end as the final moment when the cold blue flame burns out the body and the soul is released in some way, also because the next two songs, Stellar Tombs and No lonelier star are really cosmic horror out of the body experiences with a lot of reflexive thoughts and understandings along the journey
Pleaseee do more Draconian, i love these interpretations!!!
Isn't it amazing how the same song can elicit different reactions from others? I love seeking meaning in music. After all, isn't life's journey all about finding our own meaning? I read A Pale Tortured Blue as a melancholy redemption song. Now the straight up suicide track on Sovran is Rivers Between Us. I'm not a huge fan of Daniel's clean vocals, but the word play and contrast on that one paints a haunting picture of a lover mourning.
One of the best music reviews on youtube to date. I'm dead serious.
Gerat job on this man. You came from passion, love of music and the meaning behind it.
By all accounts, you stand as a beacon.
A very belated thank you! I've been in hibernation but the Black Cat is back:) Your reply makes me all the more hungry to keep putting out content.
@@blackcatreacts3800 Hey man! Cheers to that!
I hope you're doing well and wishing you all the best!
These are great news indeed :)
Thank you for this great video, this song deserved an analysis of this caliber. I'm happy to read in the comments that you're planning more Draconian reactions. I hope you'll do at least one more on Sovran, I feel like it's their hardest to decipher.
I'm happy with the interruptions here because you fill them with quality. If I'm going to listen to a reaction rather than the normal track then the reaction has to have some value - which can be feeling or interpretation. Keep it up
Dude, you get it. Reaction vids can be so much more than just one or two insightful interjections on top of talking commentary of how good or bad a song is. I like to interpret artists that challenge me to continually learn and grow. If a song or a band touches me like that, I'm going to show that love back by offering my insights. I hope you stick around for the journey as we continue to grow here.
Much love!
~Black Cat
More doom/gothic reactions!!! Maybe "Trees of Eternity"? And Draconian of course :) Adding subtitles would be nice.
I LOVE some Trees of Eternity. Subtitle request duly noted. I have a bit of a Southern accent. #countryboyforlife! Thanks for commenting. Paw, scratch, or piss on that subscribe button if you haven't already. I'm trying to get to 100 subscribers. It's a modest goal, but let's spread the love of metal.
Very nice blend between logical reason and spiritual interpretation. Keep up the good work and it's a pleasure to hear your thoughts and voice!
Where are you??? We need more Draconian analysis!
I've been in hibernation after a very volatile year. Thanks for checking in. I'm going to get back on it!
Heck yeah brother glad you're back. Great review/reaction again.
Hey, big homie, thanks for dropping by and continuing to support my channel despite the hiatus. You have any bands/songs you want me to check out to consider for an interpretation?
hey Black ^^! happy to hear your business has taken off. this thoughtful commentary feels like coming from an insider in the band
Big homie, thank you so much! I've had my EduJay LLC business for over 5 years now, but I've hit this saturation point where I have more clients than I have time. It's a lovely problem to have, especially in a pandemic. But this right here, sharing thoughtful analysis and passion for an underappreciated art form, is where my dreams lie. Thank you for the comment, and I hope that if you haven't subscribed already, you'll hit that subscribe button and tell your fellow metal heads that this channel is the shit. As my dad says, "It ain't bragging of it's true." I appreciate you taking the time to show some love.
@@blackcatreacts3800 You yourself are an underappreciated reviewer 😊 I love your passionate input and each time learn a ton here
This video worth more views and this channel way more subs!! Quality's content!!
A very belated thank you! I've been in hibernation but the Black Cat is back:)

Another great analysis. I would really love to see you react to 'A Return to the Earth Below' by Oceans of Slumber. Nobody ever seems to react to them. They put out a new album a few months ago (self titled) and it's ridiculously good. I think they're a super important band to be watching right now. I almost hope you haven't heard them before so I can see you listen to them for the first time. lol
Hey, Sam, thanks for the comment and recommendation. I have not heard of Oceans of Slumber. Just as I was thinking about analyzing Broken Needle from Marilyn Manson's latest album, We Are Chaos (it's a masterpiece, seriously), you make this recommendation. Challenge accepted! I'll give you a shout-out in the video. Much love.
@@blackcatreacts3800 Awesome! Can't wait to see what you think.
I found out about you from Anders. Go ahead and pause the songs, i like hearing your views and interpretations.
THIS!!! Thank you so much and I hope to see you in the comments again once I post another reaction. ~Black Cat
I found out about you from Anders’ Fb last week and think you’re AWESOME! Are you on other platforms too? And so cool that you’re reviewing doom and Draconian in particular. I have a couple of other doom suggestions if you’re interested ;)
Thanks for dropping by the channel and showing some love. I appreciate you! I'm on other platforms like FB, LinkedIn, and IG, but mainly for promoting my business, EduJay LLC, as a leadership, career, and life coach. With that said, metal is my heart, but it doesn't pay the bills:). I'd love any doom suggestions you'd offer up. I enjoy learning from the community here at Black Cat Reacts just as much as others have said they've learned from me. Bring on the suggestions and hit that subscribe button if you haven't. Much love!
@@blackcatreacts3800 Thanks for the reply! :) I love metal too and this year has just sucked in terms of concert cancellations. I'd love to see you react to Wine from Tears - probably my favorite songs of theirs are Allergic Sun, Like a Fallen Leaf and Close to Katatonia. Also Rain Wash Me by Saturnus.Awesome, I followed you on IG and of course subscribed here. :)
Any chance you could do a Wilderun reaction? "The Tyranny of Imagination" from their latest release Veil of Imagination.
Thanks for the suggestion, Bruce! I take all incoming requests seriously and I keep running list of these. I'll definitely check them out and see if I can do a reaction/interpretation for you. If you haven't already, subscribe so you can be notified when I get to your reaction. I'll give you a shout out.
Much love from the big homie,
~Black Cat
Type o negative!!!!!
Love me some Type O Negative! RIP Peter Steele. Have you heard Swallow the Sun's tribute to Steele, "April 14th"? If not, it's definitely worth checking out - it's a haunting salute to the beloved giant. Any particular song you want reacted/interpreted?
Great review, made me cry a bit. Love to hear you talking. Are you a teacher or something? :) Please continue reviewing Draconian and other great bands like this! (Btw the audio on this video isn't live :P)
Thanks for your sincere comments and the subscription. Much appreciated! Love to hear me talking? That makes me blush😉. More Draconian reviews are definitely in the pipeline, especially with the new album on its way. I'm not a teacher, but I was a librarian for over a decade (I have a Masters degree in library sciences). I've since moved on to corporate training and I have my own business doing leadership, career, and life coaching. I guess I'm just an all around dork who loves metal.
Still here. Rock on man!
Bro, thanks for keeping up with me! You're one of the folks who got me into metal. Remember those days of us listening to Metallica on the school bus!
His lv killed her.... And they r narrating the story backward.... And the conclusion is at the end..that's how I get first time I lsned to this song
