I had a friend who worked for the Suicide Hotline when this song came out, and like the statistics show, they saw a HUGE increase to calls. I cannot fathom how many lives were saved because of these three artists. I will always love these three!
this song came out while i was admitted at hospital. this song blew up on the radio, and the nurses let it slide a few times, until they deemed the lyrics “too controversial, might trigger people, and had sensitive lyrics”. what happened afterwards was amazing. all of the in-patients including my self verbally fought our way thru that; as in-patients, we all new how incredible these lyrics were because the first few times we heard it ,we would all come circle around the radio in complete silence just to soak in the lyrics and cry. the nurses took that the wrong way and we didn’t stand for that at ALL. we didn’t have phones to listen to our music , so the radio was all we had. and the chances of hearing such a powerful song in a moment of such struggle and need on the radio was slim to none. especially, it being this specific song. the lyrics were so cohesive to everyone there and it meant so much to us. so we literally FOUGHT these nurses to let us listen to this song. it has such a special place and my heart and reminds to keep going and that i am no longer in need of places like that hospital, and that there is hope for my life and that i can pursue my dreams no matter what
Sometimes you just don't see a way out. Sometimes you try to survive each day and yet, you think about suicide 24/7. It's not about you, you've stopped caring about yourself years ago...You just think about people that love you and sorrow that your passing is bringing to them. It all comes to a question : do you want to live like that every day or not? If you can't find a way to over come that, than, it is the only way.
Yes, the song is in the perspective of the boy and the suicide hotline agent talking to each other, hence the responding line to “I don’t wanna be alive, I just wanna die today, I just wanna die” being “I want you to be alive, you don’t got to die today, you don’t got to die”
I’m so happy you finally reacted to this, Tom! I cried the first time I watched the music video and I still get tears in my eyes when hearing the song and watching the video. I feel like it’s an important video and it’s one I can relate to. You know, I often feel like life will never get better and that I’ll have to battle mental health issues for as long as I live (and, therefore, that maybe I shouldn’t) but hearing songs like this and hearing you repeatedly say that things will get better at least gives me a little hope (even if I’m not sure I actually believe it yet). I appreciate that. Also, I really like how the chorus changes throughout the song. “I don’t wanna be alive” -> “I want you to be alive” -> “I finally wanna be alive”. All in all, good one! Thank you for reacting to it. 😊
Rip my very amazing friend I haven’t listened to this song since it’s been 2 weeks. I love everyone on this earth I never thought my “brother” could also be going everything like me.
I was a fan of Logic in 2014 when he dropped my favorite album, Under Pressure (my profile pic), but when this song came out in 2018, I felt a whole new personal connection to his music. Something deeper and more impactful in my life. I’m glad you enjoyed the song. Keep up the great videos ❤️
Yes your reaction videos do help me get through another day.. it might seem like "oh it's just a reaction how can it help you" but it is comforting to be watching a video by you.. and also gave me soo many different pov's of situations and how to look at the bad things and overcome them or find a different solution..
My best friend was Gay and Black,and really struggled with this his whole Life ,till he couldnt take it anymore. Wish this came before it happened,really would have opened his Eyes. RIP Ty.
He made it to where a bunch of his fans clogged up the hotline because all his fans called, contributing to a lot of deaths because they weren't able to talk to someone.
Back in middle school, so 14 years old (19 now) I would re listen to this song over and over almost breaking down in school because of a couple reasons. 7th Grade I was heavily bullied. No one talked to me, and I was figuring out what I wanted for my sexuality. During a Christmas party my father and aunt were talking about how they would disown me and my cousin if we were ever to be gay. I took that deep to the heart even though 2 years after that party he apologized for it meaning it had been in the back of his head for a while, and he didn't find out that I am bisexual till about 5 months ago not by my choosing because I had always been scared. Middle school was not good for me like I said 7th grade I was heavily bullied and figuring out who I was. At night I would cut my shoulder. (High up because I wear T shirts) I would cut it 100 times a day about, and just fall asleep letting myself bleed out not wanting to live anymore. I was able to stop myself even with the severe bullying. 8th grade the bullying kind of stopped, but someone I deeply cared about in school was hit by a car. she was the kind of person If anyone was alone, she would come talk to them. last day I ever saw her was at lunch one day, no one at my table was at school so I was sitting alone, she came over and started talking to me just because she saw me alone. that made me really happy. that same day she got hit by a car right after school, next 3 days no one talked, taught, teachers let us be for a while, told us if we need to talk, we can. I still have problems with random break downs and negativity but I'm doing better. my mother and father both know about me though the rest of my family doesn't. Anyway, this song was very relatable, not that everything that happened to me was in it but still A great song that has the power to make me cry.
Fun fact, I listen to songs about suicide or death, when I'm suicidal. Suicide isn't our thoughts anyway, so once you know that, it's not as strong and hope is always in sight when u notice not all thoughts are actually us. 🥰 I tried a few times, OD'd, cut a wrist etc.. but music about what my depression wanted, helped me feel the hello and goodbye experience without actually going through with it. Nothing is our fault guys, it's the journey and we aren't suppose to be stressing about making bread either...we have so much pressure to be something we are not these days and we blame ourselves when we can't be that person, well don't, just be you! we came from Caves and fields of wildflowers 🥰 be free but with breath, nature is key to healing too, love you guys! and as a disclaimer, I have no one to talk to but I got this fam! express ya darkness and let us demon warriors fight ya demons with ya!
i keep coming back to this song just to motivate myself for another day, today i listened to it because i seen some pretty messed up things that ppl have said about this community but i know there is still love for the people
Another great reaction Tom! I found my best friend hanging from the ceiling many years ago. Thankfully I walked in at the moment I did and saved her life. I've had my own suicidal thoughts as well but it's just not the answer. Someone somewhere is always there to listen. Someone somewhere needs you.
@Sydnee Funnel I know what you went through. The same thing happend to me with my life long best friend. Unfortunately I didn't see the warning signs and he wasn't found in time. I lost my best friend/chosen brother. That news was the worst day of my life. it's been 5 years and it never gotten better. It's gotten easier to cope tho
Great reaction Tom - this song means a lot to so many people and shows how versatile Logic really is. I love it when artists produce this type of music, especially artists who have a really young audience (I’m not saying Logic’s audience is really young, it’s probs mixed), but if more of the younger, super popular artists had more tracks like this, it could help so many kids.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I love the song “everybody”! It talks about how everyone is different in their own way it’s such a beautiful song and sooooo catchy! Just another recommended song to add to the list. This song 1-800 helped me so much during my suicidal phases (I have a lot lol) and I would scream on the top of my lungs these lyrics. Such a good song! Great reaction!
Another great song and reaction! I cry every time I watch this video. The live performance they did was amazing too. Hearing your insight and how much you describe and pay attention to the lyrics and videos make you one of the best to watch! ✨✨✨
I love how you are a psychotherapist and have probably dealt with all cases but you still have a human reaction to real life issues, I don't know why I always thought psychotherapists are all about just putting feelings into a type of box and making treatment of that type of issue a standardised thing, I don't get that feeling from you. I love how you are able to make every issue unique and can empathise with it all, thank you for this, your reactions are beautiful. Love from South Africa.
Thanks for reacting to this one. As a parent it just breaks my heart to think of not giving my son unconditional love no matter who makes him happy. Love is love and isn't that what you want for your child? Wish I could give anyone out there that needs it a mom hug. ❤️🏳️🌈
My most resonant moments as someone has struggled with suicidality are those moments with the end of hope. Those moments are the most important for normal people to understand, because at least for me, it's not what we HAVE no way out. It's that we SEE no way out. There's nothing else that we see that can change our situation, so even now(at that moment) there's nothing else for us. It's not simple and it's not easy. This should be deep-dived more than it is now or as much as it ever should have been.
This song has saved me a few times. I love the way they get imply that those of us who live with mental illness wear a mask so we don't get made to feel worse than we already do.
ive watched tons of your videos and yeah for real these videos help us. Me personally your videos have really helped with my mental health and since im a huge music lover! Thank you for the videos!!! please dont stop anytime soon
What I appreciate most about your videos, is how you see your audience as individuals. Like lots of people are out there talking to their cameras but you clearly have the gift of mercy. It's in every video you post. Thanks for doing these reactions! I hope you're able to do some other content like q&as, or topics like some of your older videos. Would love to see a mix of things:)
this song will always hold a severely special place in my heart because i was severely depressed from 6th grade till i was about 20 or around there and at the time i heard this song i had graduated high school and my depression hadn't gotten any better and at the time my brother was going to school and my dad was having me pick him up after school everyday and i decided to let my brother play music and this song came on and it was one of, if not the hardest i have ever cried at a song because this song hit so close to home because i had only ever wanted to get rid of this pain but at the same time i didn't really wanna die because i hadn't even got to really get a taste of life luckily i got out of depression within the next few years after that i dont think my little brother has ever known how much he helped me with that song but i love him and im glad both him and me are alive thx for this video man
I love the end of the video. It shows, at the end of the day, that was still his Son and that's his Father. Family is family and will always have unconditional love 🙌🏼☯️💯
You need to react to "Nikki" by Logic. He there talks about his Nicotine addiction and it seems as if it is a breakup song or a song about a girl but it's not. He was addicted to nicotine for 10 years. He is now sober.
The song itself is emotional, but the music video makes me tear up every single time. You can see the pain in that actors eyes and he does such a good job. It’s so uncomfortable to watch because it feels like I shouldn’t be seeing such private moments
Thanks this songs man, when im homeless during post pandemic, living in a car, no money, no food at all, in my mind just thinking suicide, just wanna end my life at that moment , suddenly this song pop out on my car radio, im glad to hear this song at that moment. Yeah, music can help you. Music can save life. Hope more music like this in future man. And too see you react to this songs, its mean so much for me. Your reaction videos do help me get through all the shit stuff happened to me. Thanks man. Keep making this content.
It's hard for me to listen to this song without crying. When this song came out, my grandfather had just committed suicide and my father had started assaulting and abusing me. My mom didn't know, my brothers didn't know, nobody knew. I was so scared of what would happen to my family and my life if I told someone. I felt so alone and so deep in darkness and I just wanted the pain to stop. I made 3 attempts on my life. While this was going on, I found a small glimmer of light. I was madly and hopelessly in love with a boy from my school. Even though this enraged my father and made life harder for me at home, I tried to see him as much as I could. One day he found cuts on my arm. Refusing to let it go, I told him everything. I felt so light and free. He said if you don't call the police, I will. A few days later he called me and told me police were on their way to my house. I was mad at first. What does this mean for my mom, my brothers and me? Where are we going to live? It's been 10 years now and my father is serving half a century sentence in prison. My brothers and my mom are thriving, my boyfriend and I are still together, and I am so glad I didn't take my life. Ask for help please!! I don't know where I would be if I hadn't confessed to my boyfriend that day.
No way. Logic has been my favourite artist since 2015. I never expected for you to react to one of his songs. This is by far his most main stream one and helped save a lot of lives. However this is not his usual kind of music. He usually raps more fast pace kind of like eminem and doesn't sing as much
FYI the suicide hotline only send the police if they send anyone. Then you’re at their mercy, and the hotline operators say they’re “sending someone to help”. My personal experience.
I love everything about you so much. You’re a nice safe space when my real therapist isn’t available. We do know what’s coming because of the title of the video though. lol
I could never listen and watch this without crying.. it's a very deep and inspirational song fr💯 listenin to Juice and this song rlly does help me get thru things so ion don't feel alone💪🏾
Like you mentioned in the video I always liked how they portrayed the white father in this video. He's clearly shocked at the realization of his son's sexuality but a key point is he doesn't get mad. There's no yelling, No anger. He's confused and it's clearly not what he expected or may have wanted for his son but he isn't hateful which I think is a fair response for that kind of mindset. Obviously ideally you hope for the parents to be open and accepting but honestly I get that not every parent is going to immediately be mentally at that point so I'm always happy to hear about parents who at least stop and handle things calmly as they try to process and understand rather than jumping to condemnation and hate.
Not sure if its been said already but the song goes through his first thoughts of wanting to die and then into calling the hotline (Song title) and them telling him I want you to he alive you don't have to die and then his final I don't want to die anymore. So it goes through the process of him feeling that way to getting help to then coming out the other side and feeling better then ever. So yes you were correct he called the number and got the help.
The thing that can hinder the outlook of having so many people helping you, is the pity factor. No matter how much the people do want to help and care for you, it feels out of pity; and we don't want that! This is why I want Mental Health to be freely talked about, no shame or stigmas! Thank you for what you do
There have been countless times in the past few years when I didn't want to live anymore. I never got close to acting upon those feelings, but I simply didn't want to live. I didn't want to feel pain or be lonely, I was just so tired. I convinced myself that everyone I knew would be fine, yeah they would miss me and be sad but they'll continue to live their life. The one person I couldn't convince myself that they'll be fine is my cat; she's my baby and she gets so lonely without me, she's anxious and she's terrified of dogs so no one can take care of her as well as I can. It's kinda sad to say that my cat saved my life several times.
One song to react to is Eminems "Leaving heaven". He talks about his dad in that one and it's kinda crazy. Also would recommend a lyric video because it goes fast!
I wonder if people ever caught the moment he was in the car with the random boy, was because he was actually going to sell his body for money, that’s why the white boy reached down to his pants cause he was going to unbuckle them. But then he runs away. That’s why we see him running with the street lights infront of him. And the future at the end of this video is AMBIGUOUS. I'm glad every review of this is thinking his dad came around, but that's not always what happens. I think the end of this video is more about the potential in life, what could happen, or what WON'T be possible if he pulls the trigger then or soon after. I don't know what happens and no one in this position can be sure, either. The only way to find out is to keep living and know one thing: it DOES get better.
Honestly, as a queer person, the scene where the dad catches them doesn't come off as compassionate at all. Maybe it's just the paranoid trauma-brain, but especially with the silence and the pushing him out, it really doesn't seem caring. The hand on the back isn't supportive, it's a warning, a "I'll let you go this once, but don't come back." He didn't even give them time to get dressed! Just because there's no *rage* doesn't mean it's supportive; I'm genuinely terrified for the son in that situation, because I know several people who's parents would see that, *respond in exactly that way*, and then beat them/kick them out. I know a few people who HAVE had that happen. Or knew them, past tense. That's not to say one interpretation is better than another ofc lol it's just the way my background brings me to look at it! It's really cool how two people can look at the same scene and come up with completely different interpretations.
The other sons father. The way he acted. it wasn't anger, it wasn't fear. it was just misunderstanding. He didn't know how to take it. He wasn't angry. He was just confused. And I love how that was handled. I am a straight white male, but this video really gave me the feeling of all the different views of this situation, from friend, to parent, to mentor....
also if you want to learn more ab logic’s life Gang Related and Under Pressure are both great candidates for a good visual of what he went through to get where he’s at
Joyner Lucas - Ross Capicchioni (about gang violence) joyner Lucas - Frozen (about distracted driving) you should do more joyner he has some amazing story telling songs that hit deep
I am really hoping you react to more than just rap soon but this is one of the songs i suggested. Helped me during one of my lowest times. Cheers Tom! Love this!
The first verse is him wanting to die and wanting to keep it in The 2nd verse is him calling the suicide prevention hotline the third is the girl giving him advice the "I want to be alive" is her telling him to stay strong and so that's why he says it (Not entirely accurate)
I had a friend who worked for the Suicide Hotline when this song came out, and like the statistics show, they saw a HUGE increase to calls. I cannot fathom how many lives were saved because of these three artists. I will always love these three!

This song saved many lifes and it also saved mine, it still does. That's what makes this such a powerful song. Great that you reacted to this one.
Thank you so much!😊👍
It saved me, you and a lot of people. Hope you're in a better place! :)
I'm srill in that deep, dark ditch that gets deeper whenever you try to climb out, but this song has helped

Logic: I don't wanna be aliveee
Tom: 🕺🕺
I love how he starts vibing harder while logic is singing i dont wanna be alive 😂
had the grin and everything fam
I feel so bad…sometimes I forget that I’m there for the lyrics and I think I’m there for the music😩😩😩 sorry about that
it shows off the art side of the evil lyrics they have meaning to them they aren’t evil to be evil
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Let me tell you something. It’s completely ok to enjoy the music while thinking the lyrics are sad. No need to apologise!
Ahah spoilers I just saw this comment and I knew its Logic and 1800 😂

This is awesome, I’m currently writing a paper about this song, I’m definitely going to try to add this somewhere in the paper

I grew up a gay teen in the 70's Florida outed before I had a chance to realize I was gay, this song brings me to tears every time I experience it.
Rip my very amazing friend I haven’t listened to this song since it’s been 2 weeks. I love everyone on this earth I never thought my “brother” could also be going everything like me.
This song means so much to me. More artists need to speak out about suicide.
Amen!!😊👍
A lot of metal bands do, in positive ways. Disturbed is an exemple.

I'm glad Logic took the time to make this song (and video) perfect so that it would reach and relate to as many people as possible

Thank you. I don't have access to therapy right now and I don't have much communication in my life. So these videos help. Thanks
"There's so much joy with these people." Yh. If there's one thing I've learned is that the brightest smiles hide the deepest pain.
Apart from listening to Eminem since about 13, logic was the one who got me into rap so this song has a special place in my heart
i been listening to eminem since i think 9 he was my way into rap

Those moments are the most important for normal people to understand, because at least for me, it's not what we HAVE no way out. It's that we SEE no way out. There's nothing else that we see that can change our situation, so even now(at that moment) there's nothing else for us. It's not simple and it's not easy. This should be deep-dived more than it is now or as much as it ever should have been.
This song has saved me a few times. I love the way they get imply that those of us who live with mental illness wear a mask so we don't get made to feel worse than we already do.
Thanks for doing all these, been going through a few rough patches recently and you really help 🙏
Thanks so much for this comment 😊👍
ive watched tons of your videos and yeah for real these videos help us. Me personally your videos have really helped with my mental health and since im a huge music lover! Thank you for the videos!!! please dont stop anytime soon
Thank you for this comment and for watching 😊👍
What I appreciate most about your videos, is how you see your audience as individuals. Like lots of people are out there talking to their cameras but you clearly have the gift of mercy. It's in every video you post. Thanks for doing these reactions! I hope you're able to do some other content like q&as, or topics like some of your older videos. Would love to see a mix of things:)
this song will always hold a severely special place in my heart because i was severely depressed from 6th grade till i was about 20 or around there and at the time i heard this song i had graduated high school and my depression hadn't gotten any better and at the time my brother was going to school and my dad was having me pick him up after school everyday and i decided to let my brother play music and this song came on and it was one of, if not the hardest i have ever cried at a song because this song hit so close to home because i had only ever wanted to get rid of this pain but at the same time i didn't really wanna die because i hadn't even got to really get a taste of life luckily i got out of depression within the next few years after that i dont think my little brother has ever known how much he helped me with that song but i love him and im glad both him and me are alive thx for this video man
I love the end of the video. It shows, at the end of the day, that was still his Son and that's his Father. Family is family and will always have unconditional love 🙌🏼☯️💯
Very true! Thank you!😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Thank YOU!!!
The only reaction channel I listen to the full videos for. Unlike a lot of other channels he actually has something important to say.
You need to react to "Nikki" by Logic. He there talks about his Nicotine addiction and it seems as if it is a breakup song or a song about a girl but it's not. He was addicted to nicotine for 10 years. He is now sober.
Perfect timing, today I experienced suicidal thoughts which I haven’t had for a long time. Reminding me of this song helps

The song itself is emotional, but the music video makes me tear up every single time. You can see the pain in that actors eyes and he does such a good job. It’s so uncomfortable to watch because it feels like I shouldn’t be seeing such private moments
Thanks this songs man, when im homeless during post pandemic, living in a car, no money, no food at all, in my mind just thinking suicide, just wanna end my life at that moment ,
suddenly this song pop out on my car radio, im glad to hear this song at that moment.
Yeah, music can help you. Music can save life. Hope more music like this in future man.
And too see you react to this songs, its mean so much for me. Your reaction videos do help me get through all the shit stuff happened to me. Thanks man. Keep making this content.
i’ve been waiting for u to react to this song. i’ve been listening to it for years.. this song has helped me and so many other people. great video!
Your reaction to this song gave me a bit more hope. Thank you 💪🏼🥂
Thank you so much Ryan! Appreciate that😊👍
It's hard for me to listen to this song without crying. When this song came out, my grandfather had just committed suicide and my father had started assaulting and abusing me. My mom didn't know, my brothers didn't know, nobody knew. I was so scared of what would happen to my family and my life if I told someone. I felt so alone and so deep in darkness and I just wanted the pain to stop. I made 3 attempts on my life. While this was going on, I found a small glimmer of light. I was madly and hopelessly in love with a boy from my school. Even though this enraged my father and made life harder for me at home, I tried to see him as much as I could. One day he found cuts on my arm. Refusing to let it go, I told him everything. I felt so light and free. He said if you don't call the police, I will. A few days later he called me and told me police were on their way to my house. I was mad at first. What does this mean for my mom, my brothers and me? Where are we going to live? It's been 10 years now and my father is serving half a century sentence in prison. My brothers and my mom are thriving, my boyfriend and I are still together, and I am so glad I didn't take my life. Ask for help please!! I don't know where I would be if I hadn't confessed to my boyfriend that day.
No way. Logic has been my favourite artist since 2015. I never expected for you to react to one of his songs. This is by far his most main stream one and helped save a lot of lives. However this is not his usual kind of music. He usually raps more fast pace kind of like eminem and doesn't sing as much
FYI the suicide hotline only send the police if they send anyone. Then you’re at their mercy, and the hotline operators say they’re “sending someone to help”. My personal experience.
Ive been waiting for this for so long. Finally!! ❤️❤️
This song means a lot to me, Im glad you reacted to it
ohh i've been wanting you to react to this
I was feeling hopeless and your videos really help me! 😊
Too this day a very good reaction thank you for reacting to this 👏👏
I love everything about you so much.
You’re a nice safe space when my real therapist isn’t available.
We do know what’s coming because of the title of the video though. lol
“Through the ups and downs of life, one thing must remain constant. The will to not let yourself dictate who you are.”
I could never listen and watch this without crying.. it's a very deep and inspirational song fr💯 listenin to Juice and this song rlly does help me get thru things so ion don't feel alone💪🏾
Like you mentioned in the video I always liked how they portrayed the white father in this video. He's clearly shocked at the realization of his son's sexuality but a key point is he doesn't get mad. There's no yelling, No anger. He's confused and it's clearly not what he expected or may have wanted for his son but he isn't hateful which I think is a fair response for that kind of mindset. Obviously ideally you hope for the parents to be open and accepting but honestly I get that not every parent is going to immediately be mentally at that point so I'm always happy to hear about parents who at least stop and handle things calmly as they try to process and understand rather than jumping to condemnation and hate.
Wanting to end it all but knowing your loved by so many is a hard spot to be in🤦🏾♂️ tired of it all but don’t want to hurt my loved ones by doing it
Please react to Logic - Under Pressure (Full Version)
Incredible storytelling!!!
I don't wanna die, I just don't want to hurt anymore...
*Whoever you are, wherever you are in the world. Please don't give up. I love you.... I love you truly*
i love logic so much, glad to see you listen to him!
Not sure if its been said already but the song goes through his first thoughts of wanting to die and then into calling the hotline (Song title) and them telling him I want you to he alive you don't have to die and then his final I don't want to die anymore. So it goes through the process of him feeling that way to getting help to then coming out the other side and feeling better then ever. So yes you were correct he called the number and got the help.
This was a good one for Tom and the channel!
The thing that can hinder the outlook of having so many people helping you, is the pity factor. No matter how much the people do want to help and care for you, it feels out of pity; and we don't want that! This is why I want Mental Health to be freely talked about, no shame or stigmas! Thank you for what you do
I love when he vibes to the beat, then the lyrics start 😂😂.
😳😳😳
Great reaction to a great song! Thanks for the constant uploads tom!, also any updates on the discord server?
Thank you! Nothing on the discord yet😳😳
There have been countless times in the past few years when I didn't want to live anymore. I never got close to acting upon those feelings, but I simply didn't want to live. I didn't want to feel pain or be lonely, I was just so tired. I convinced myself that everyone I knew would be fine, yeah they would miss me and be sad but they'll continue to live their life. The one person I couldn't convince myself that they'll be fine is my cat; she's my baby and she gets so lonely without me, she's anxious and she's terrified of dogs so no one can take care of her as well as I can. It's kinda sad to say that my cat saved my life several times.
Your videos make me feel so much comfort, thsnkyou sm
One song to react to is Eminems "Leaving heaven". He talks about his dad in that one and it's kinda crazy. Also would recommend a lyric video because it goes fast!
Been saying this
Hope you are having an amazing day Tom! Always love to see when you upload!😁
Thanks zak! Always a great day seeing comments like this!😊👍
Ya
I love this channel so much. Thank you.
Thanks Josiah!😊😊
I love the intros they feel soo raw
😊👍 thank you!
When Tom the Psychotherapist starts bobbing his head, you know It's a banger of a song.
I love that this man throws up the devil horns thats so metal
I wonder if people ever caught the moment he was in the car with the random boy, was because he was actually going to sell his body for money, that’s why the white boy reached down to his pants cause he was going to unbuckle them. But then he runs away. That’s why we see him running with the street lights infront of him. And the future at the end of this video is AMBIGUOUS. I'm glad every review of this is thinking his dad came around, but that's not always what happens. I think the end of this video is more about the potential in life, what could happen, or what WON'T be possible if he pulls the trigger then or soon after. I don't know what happens and no one in this position can be sure, either. The only way to find out is to keep living and know one thing: it DOES get better.
Honestly, as a queer person, the scene where the dad catches them doesn't come off as compassionate at all. Maybe it's just the paranoid trauma-brain, but especially with the silence and the pushing him out, it really doesn't seem caring. The hand on the back isn't supportive, it's a warning, a "I'll let you go this once, but don't come back." He didn't even give them time to get dressed!
Just because there's no *rage* doesn't mean it's supportive; I'm genuinely terrified for the son in that situation, because I know several people who's parents would see that, *respond in exactly that way*, and then beat them/kick them out. I know a few people who HAVE had that happen. Or knew them, past tense.
That's not to say one interpretation is better than another ofc lol it's just the way my background brings me to look at it! It's really cool how two people can look at the same scene and come up with completely different interpretations.
we need more logic. Maybe you could check out Gang related and Dead Presidents III
Yes ^^
Under Pressure and Hit My Line too 🙂
Great reaction your channel is growing very fast
Thank you!😊👍
This and Dear God are two Logic songs that always hit me hard.
I love you so much Tom. Thank you for what you do 🖤
The other sons father. The way he acted. it wasn't anger, it wasn't fear. it was just misunderstanding. He didn't know how to take it. He wasn't angry. He was just confused. And I love how that was handled. I am a straight white male, but this video really gave me the feeling of all the different views of this situation, from friend, to parent, to mentor....
Love the content you create, thank you so much!
When the song dropped, the suicide rate in the us fell off. This song literally saved many lives
"I don't wanna be alive" mean while him: the music is great and all, the beat
What a classic song
juice wrld life’s a dungeon. he made it the night his dad died, also had to perform a concert 2 hours after he found out
Wow! What a story!😢
Mystery week hype!!
messed up the title, but keep up the amazing vids
We can see in the title which song it is 😂😂😂
another good song by logic to react to might be Never Enough or Buried Alive, they’re both really
good songs with equally great lyrics
also if you want to learn more ab logic’s life Gang Related and Under Pressure are both great candidates for a good visual of what he went through to get where he’s at
you're interpretations of my childhood songs have opened my eyes
Thank you for this!😊👍
there are so many famous actors which was cool for the vid
That “yessir” was great 👏😂
Logic is only one of the few artists that speaks on the touchy subjects.. That very won't.. Great reaction.. Love from🇮🇳 india
Joyner Lucas - Ross Capicchioni (about gang violence)
joyner Lucas - Frozen (about distracted driving)
you should do more joyner he has some amazing story telling songs that hit deep
Put the request in the Google doc (link in the description) so we get it on the list…thanks so much! 😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial omg that is amazing thank you!!
Living under your parents roof almost makes your life not yours mixed with kinda hiding a secret from parents, friends, peers.
I am really hoping you react to more than just rap soon but this is one of the songs i suggested. Helped me during one of my lowest times. Cheers Tom! Love this!
Thank you so much!😊👍
The first verse is him wanting to die and wanting to keep it in
The 2nd verse is him calling the suicide prevention hotline
the third is the girl giving him advice the "I want to be alive" is her telling him to stay strong and so that's why he says it
(Not entirely accurate)
Gah this music video always makes me tear up
Clicking on every mystery week video hoping it’s Peep 😂😭
😂😂😂 how do you feel today??
