Therapist reacts to BYOB by System of a Down

- Опубліковано 11 січ 2024
- Therapist uses B.Y.O.B to discuss how many of us live in a state of blissful ignorance until we suddenly realize something isn't right, maybe it's politically, maybe it's in your personal life. And once you realize that something isn't right. You have the opportunity to courageously confront that thing to try to enact change.

The party in the desert is also a metaphor for the war itself (in this case the Iraq War circa ‘03). How its affects are undersold and also how warmongers and arms dealers rush to the party.
I also took it represent the media propaganda machine around justifying it or distracting us away from it.
She totally missed the point.
@jip5889 I know what you mean, though, to be fair she does say that it's a political song. She adds that the meaning can be broader. She's analysing it from a psychology perspective. And, there's something in her analysis; the political point of the song is to shake us out of ignorance and make us confront .... Well, power. The personal is the political and vice-versa as they say 😉
i do realy like you americans , who know what is about , go around the truth , like selling to yourself some kind of peacefull reality that you have no part of ( it's not your fault ) .... , it's simple , iraq had oil , you need oil = freedom and democracy in Iraq = military invansion ... that what
dancing in the desert and sunshine means
@@mydyingsoul01 I wish that non-Americans who disagree with the country’s foreign policy could know what it feels like to live their life as an American with those same opinions. To know the unending feeling of anger and helplessness without having someone else to point the finger at. If you think you’d be able to affect the course of this awful empire from the inside, you’d be very quickly disappointed.
My daughter is going to college to be a psychiatrist. I send her your analysis of the videos all the time so that she can better understand me. Keep it up TY
funny i have always said understand my music understand me just as well. but people run away from deathcore so i am alone which to be fair im so used to anyway
Amazing how you said “use metal music to shift your mindset” because I grew up a classically trained violist, played in an orchestra and could play all the string instruments very well. At the same time I was listening to KISS, Motley Crue, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and so on. This was when I was around 9/10 years old and I had a crush on Stevie Nicks. A couple years later I discovered bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer and the various metal bands of the 80s. I remember that the darker the music the more I was willing to listen to and deal with things thus making me “happy”. Doesn’t work anymore but I still use music of all types/genres to alleviate my pains/ negative things in my life
dang, you are freaking talented musician 😮
Definitely very talented I can only play guitar bass and drums well not that good anymore out of practice
Thank you. I also learned percussion in the orchestra and thus had to play a kit and sadly I as well am not very good anymore as those days are waaaay behind me and years out of practice
On one of the cruises I went on they had a 3 man band on the ship. They played numerous cover songs with string instruments like the violin. It was surprisingly good I thought. My wife was just going to keep walking but I was thinking no I want to just chill and listen to them for a while. It’s interesting hearing cover songs played with completely different instruments.
It's adorable how you get startled. And I'm diggin the dance moves lol
Great analysis; subbed for more
This woman has go it going on!Great job,I appreciate you!🙏🏽
You should watch the charismatic voice reaction to BYOB . She nailed her review in a way that explained the song in a way thats unmatched .And you should check it out . Might help you with the way you should be describing emotions to the actual song
Agreed, was a great breakdown
Knoxhill did a good breakdown as well
I watch both of those and they are both great at musical breakdown. It is really cool getting therapist input, but those to are amazing at what they do too. I would love to see this woman take a look at Ren, from a social/psychological or purely analytical point i think it would be very interesting. I like her energy and see seems to completely enjoy herself openly. I agree though, those channels are amazing, i just don't want to take away from how much I appreciate this channel as well 🙂
She's so good at analyzing songs.
The charismatic voice chick is cool but she pauses and starts the song over wayyyy to much! Lol
That squeak you made at the end and said it's so good ❤
I remember the first time I heard it not long after it came out. I was like wtf I love this!
Great interpretations ☑️ Jumpscares ☑️ Fangirling ☑️ Pure Chaotic Enjoyment ☑️ More S.o.A.D ☑️☑️☑️☑️☑️
It was an antiwar protest song. "Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do we always send the poor?"
Yeah, you got it right away. Every time I watch this music video I get instant goosebumps when the foot soldiers burst through the wall. It is like that sudden moment when reality comes crashing through your ignorance. The title is a play on the party mentality of "bring your own beer" but it really stand for "bring your own bombs" and it calls out the politicians who start wars but don't put their lives on the line to fight them.
Dude thanks, your explanation mades the most sense, i also always taught is was byo beer not bombs😅. Thanks
@@chuy5152 sorry didn't see your reply till now. Technically it is both beer and bombs, because while the song points to politicians directly, it is also indirectly calling out the people who choose to ignore the hypocrisy by getting drunk and partying their cares away. I have met people who "love SOAD" and talk about this song like their favorite party song, who have no idea the political connotations the band put into it, and in my head I am just like "You. You are the problem the band is talking about."
“Vibe switch” is one of the resons i fell in love with system of a downs music
Well Well Well... I am thoroughly impressed with this analysis, not only do you understand the lyrics.. you actually enjoyed the song.
I suffered a heart attack 4 years ago and underwent quadruple bypass graft surgery, I shouldn't be listening to this music anymore, even though metal has always been my genre, as it really gets my heart racing and my blood flowing faster than the water over Niagara Falls, but what a way it would be to go to my resting place..
You just got yourself a new subscriber... Keep up the fantastic work.
wow!!! great story
@@businesscatt wow...thank you so much..
You should hear my story about how someone tried to murder me by strangulation when I was 12.. Not a joke. Some other time maybe.
awesome take. one of my favorite songs.
I love your reations. For the topic of the channel I recommend "inside the fire" (song about suicide) and "A reason to fight" (son about alcoholism) from Disturbed. Really powerfull songs.
This is the song we need in 2024 with these endless wars
Yes along with War Pigs by Black Sabbath and Civil War by Guns and Roses!!! All these songs are soooooo relevant today and it is very sad!!!
I absolutely love System of a Down. I think you should check out “ Nymphetamine fix” by Cradle of Filth. One of my favorite songs of all time.
Great reaction thanks ❤❤❤
You were born a true metalhead \m/
Aerials or Sugar are both awesome songs!!!!!
One of my favorite bands that always helps me through dark times is Mushroomhead i would love to hear your interpretation of some of thier music. I think you will really enjoy them
qwerty one of my favorite songs
I've listened to thousands of reactions of songs on here. You're the one who seems to actually get what message a song is trying to portray. If you have the time, I'd be interested on your take of a song called Heroin, by The Velvet Underground. And how the song ties together both lyrically and musically. You're awesome. Thanks.
SOAD is one of a number of heavy rock / metal bands that frequently convey their political messages thru their songs, which aligned (most often than not) with my personal political views.
And they have a lot of catchy and creative songs. Prison, Deer Dance, BOOM etc.
Awesome!
I love how you get into the song with no 5 minute bs intro, and you don’t pause the song every 10 seconds!! That’s cool!!!
I really feel like the switching back and forth from the groovy/happy tunes to the frantic, fast paced, screaming is absolutely a call to attention to see what's happening in our world, country, state, etc... Which, like you said, the song is definitely political, but I agree that people can also take from it what they will, whatever that may be.
I personally find it very poignant and on the nose. This is not their most subtle work, but I'm very glad to have your reaction on SOAD's music! Thank you for being you!
Love that you love it... Nice with the transissions,right? This song is HEAVY AS f..k......
1:40. Excellent!🌿🌸
this video gives me a new perspective towards the song and the band as a whole.
Love when you get scare with the changing of rhythms 😅😅😅❤❤❤
The song could relate to so many things.
One could be learning something. It does not feel right, and you could be struggling at it. All around you could encourage you that everything is fine. Just keep on going. So you keep on marching to the instructions even though one constantly struggles at it
"But you must have patience and faith..." they all keep saying to you.
And so it continues until one questions the countinous cycle one is on....
Bring your own bombs. The option of have a opinion, action or not for exemple is political choice because we live in a community big or small, and this choices make difference with that said I believe that this music is a calling to us who are able to speak be actives about things that matters in this society, because our mental health is also connect with the way and place we live in.
well like i said the other day, FINIALLY A DAMN THERAPIST THAT AINT USING MIND TRICKS!!!!!!!! now if more of them were like you and would honestly listen to the people then someone like me would honestly try to go but cant because i truly see right thru all the bs games that most try to do and dont listen
Love this song
I would love to see your take on The Feel Again by Blue October!
SOAD are masters of transition. I would argue it’s a major part of their signature sound.
Jesus! Been listening to SOAD for the better part of 20 years and I am getting therapy for free 😮(send me the bill please) by the way your reaction to Daddy is the bests ever
Ask and I receive
So beautiful ❤
Well I think it's a good time for a Tool reaction! Sober, or Schism are really good choises.
They all ate, but I would ad The Grudge and Right In Two as good choices for dissection
And then do Wings for Marie I&II
Great content, loving your reactions. I would really like to hear your thoughts on Tool's song The Grudge. Also, was i imagining this or did I hear someone trying to quietly wash dishes in the background. Lol
I would really like to see your reaction to Ministry -Theives.
Please do I-E-A-I-O-U by SOAD. You might not find a lot of meaning in it, but it is so much fun when you need a mind shift. I found your station on a day when I really need a mind shift. Thank you.
If there was one song by System I would love to see you breakdown it is the song "Question!?"
I love SOAD bc it always brings me back to listening to Rage Against the Machine as a kid and feeling strongly attached to songs like B*ll*t in the Head and Fistful of steel 🖤🖤 not metal, but still awesome songs that remind me of a time when defiance was the only thing that kept me going as a kid in a terrible environment ✊🏽🤘🏽
Yes they are unique!!!
It's also about the transfer of wealth from the tax payer to the military industrial complex and haliburton.
I got out 1 yr prior to my units deployment I knee exactly what the song was about
❤
another great song of sistem of a down you should analyze is "question!"
So marvellous dance U ^_~ , appreciate you share.
The more I listen to this song and see reactions the more I realize how incredibly genius and ahead of their time they were.
A sarcastic diatribe of the highest calibre. Authority's necessity toward polarised propaganda
You should check out Blue October. They have a lot of music that is related to mental illness and hope. I suggest "fear" "black orchid" and " hate me. Thanks for all your videos.
hate me is a great one
I would so love to see you do Korn and also their song Daddy
Would love to see you react to badflower. Ghost and family
Also try to react to "Scars On Broadway - Lives"
Daron's group, the guitarist of SOAD
Thanks... (: ....
Please do Dreaming by them, I would really like to hear your analysis on that song.
I would love to see you review Hi Ren by Ren. it isnt metal and I know its probably been over done by now; however as someone who has both studied masters level psych and has struggled with myriad mental health issues [(depression, anxiety, PTSD, disassociations, and at my worse; episodes of psychotic depression, and OCD and even schizoaffective)], I believe it to be very valuable for people. I know when I saw it the first time the profound emotional response I had was hard to describe. It felt like it perfectly illustrated my struggles with mental health to my eventual success at learning the "tools" that have helped me lead a much happier life. I wish it was the kind of thing someone showed me during my early 20's (tumultuous twenties)
You need to do a reaction to Stan Rogers song The Mary Ellen Carter. It is such a amazing song and such a great message.
I think most people notice that something is wrong, but they adopt the defeatist attitude because it just seems too big of a problem to solve.
Do some on the band suicidal tendencies and Hatebreed as the way you analyze this song for mental illness that’s why I listen to all the songs that really helps even if you are frustrated at times it sounds heavy but It’s a really good message just like reggae
@heartsupport therapist reacts to mudvayne!!! Dull boy, happy or world so cold would be great first picks
The songs speaking to the fact that 95% of "us" have no idea how awful and evil this world is, and we're all caught in this BS illusion. Some of us realize it. But are helpless to resist the longing for happiness. "We" don't want to see the truth. Blissfully ignorant.
2:42 whens starts "BLASTOISE, IS PARTY TIME"
The magic of System of a Down is they won’t tell you what the songs are written about. They want you to have a genuine experience and take away what you feel. They don’t want to tell you how to feel.
Just my personal opinion, this song is very good at describing bipolar illness and anxiety. So like you said, I confronted it.
listen to Innervision or Question! Is the most spiritual System songs
Last resort by papa roach you gotta do that one next!
Another group to check out is five finger death punch one of there songs is the bleeding
INSTANT SUBCRIBE!
hi, i'm Simon, sup from New Zealand 🇳🇿🥝🙃, hope you're having a wonderful day 💛🌏💛
Movie called Jarhead is this song word for word. You should watch it.
5:09 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
React to if I'm there by bad omens
I have just seen your BMTH vids and recommend to give a listen to Hospital for Souls. They helped me so much, my fav band ever. Love your content ❤❤
A good band that you may like would be: Jinjer "Pisces "
Imagin the good grove of that song, in battel..... Then, you get wounded on the battlefield.
I was in a different state of mine.... Then, I was home... It really FUCKED ME UP.
I just wanted to be back with my brothers, in.. the.. shit...
It's about Iraq war in the early 2000s.
This song was about the Iraq war specifically.
It quite literally is 3 songs mashed into one. They said we weren't sure what they were doing in this song
Song was a commentary on the Iraq War when the song came out it was definitely as you say that few people were thinking at the time "woah wait somethings not right here" and now we know "we were ignorant" and were lead into a war so that a tiny man could inflate his ego to finish his daddy's war. B.Y.O.B. translates to bring your own bombs. Because at the time the US was spread thin and was struggling to fund a war already.
Love your content
I'd really like to see your reactions to Crawling or Given Up by Linkin Park.
❤
Still relevant today! (Gaza / Ukraine)
While in most cases, I imagine you might be correct in your interpretation of the song and it's message. But in this case you are a little mistaken. This song was written to address a very specific situation. The invasion of Iraq in 2003. This is a specific call to wake up and realize that the Iraq war is founded on lies. The intended audience was those in the military and civilians to stand up and recognize that the whole invasion of Iraq was based on lies and that we all had a duty to try and stop it. As a veteran, this song really does speak to me and for me. I was and still am seriously pissed about the criminal waste of human lives that was the war in Iraq. Not only was it a war premised on a lie, but to help pay the bill for that war, the powers that be decided it was going to be a great idea to take $32 BILLION from the only government organization dedicated to taking care of disabled veterans. So to sum it up. They thought it would be a good idea to take money away from the care of disabled veterans to pay for a war that was guaranteed to make a lot more disabled veterans. Considering that the Veterans Administration was way underfunded to begin with, losing $32 billion in funding has caused chaos that is still felt today it the VA system. And as a side note. Those cuts to the VA budget to pay for the war in Iraq were permanent. Despite both Iraq and Afghanistan being over for years now, the VA budget keeps getting attacked and shrunk. There is a saying in the veteran community. The unofficial motto of the Veterans Administration is "Giving veterans a second chance to die for their country since 1930". In the military there are a few simple rules for keeping your sanity. Embrace the suck. Three simple words that can and will allow you to survive anything that does not kill you outright. BOHICA. Bend Over Here It Comes Again. What that says about our sanity to begin with, I will leave it up to you.
I always laugh at her dance moves while the video is playing.
Dancing is a metaphor for fighting.
System of a Down always has a deep special part in my heart for keeping up the Thrash Metal flame in that sad era of metal when all there was was nu-metal and metalcore.
great reaction , by the way ... the other reactions to , nice! ... a little overselling , but that's ok
Should react to the music video for Sugar by system of a down
I survived the war. I lived on front line for 4 year when there was "cease of fire" but here and there bombs would fall. From my 5th birthday to age of 10 in constant fear. Going to school that looks like concrete fortress. Its funny after war all war veterans got help for PTSD but nobody asked then kids how we feel. Almost all of my generation has some mental related problems or other. Our country is not functioning as it should and i see loot of lives ruined. But do you know who lives "good and healthy" lives? Children of those politicians that started that war. Corruption everywhere.
I'd love to see your thoughts on their song Holy Mountain. It's in my opinion their most powerful song and it's about the Armenian Genocide.
I don't know if reactor had lyrics in front of her, but for a therapist, I've seen actual deeper analyses from people that aren't professional therapists. The song is overtly political with concrete political references and doesn't dance around the issue of wars in the Middle East. It's not a simplistic metaphor for "burying your head in the sand". Expected a little more.
Therapist.... you're a dream!
React to system of a down lost in Hollywood and question
And Korn freak on a leash and falling away from me
Interesting sounds and lyrics for react
And hell yeah, we made that our anthem, broken or not.
The dance in the desert is about Iraq, the people having a good time are the military industrial complex and haliburton
Lonely day
its about the war in iraq "dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine" referring to bombing during the war while the rich reap the reward while the poor put their lives on the line
Sober or Culling Voices by TOOL, please and thanks! 😁
