  • 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.

    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

    • @blackcatreacts3800

      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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

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. :)

      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.
