This guy gets it. It's not about being suicidal or whatever, it's about letting those feelings out like you opened a fire hydrant
Dude this guy is how all people should be. Open minded, give things A CHANCE!
It's about being sad and not being told it's a bad thing, this song spoke to me when everyone else tried to fix me with platitudes, apologies and prescriptions.
Mostly yes. But it’s a direct correlation to suicide.
TOM! Yes! I never thought you would do The Amity Affliction! Wow! Just want to say, there have been many times when I listen to this for comfort. Somehow I find the depressing thoughts comforting. Or as James Blunt once said, "Find comfort in pain". One of my favorite bands! Keep up the great work!
Bro I can't believe it's the amity affliction
My all time favorite band. We got to get him to react to I Hate Hartley or maybe Snicklefritz for sure. Honestly he could react to just about all their music. They really don’t have a bad song.
This band has helped me so much
dude. I feel the same exact way about depressing music. As I Lay Dying really helps me relax!!
Best band ever! great times at their concerts too
This is why I love metal, you can actually hear the pain in the voice and see the pain in his face when he is screaming. It still gives me chills when I watch the music video
I’m impressed with your openness and respect for all the various musical genres you have reacted to on your channel. You have a concise way of explaining the emotions and meanings behind the lyrics. 👏🏼 👏🏼 When you said, “people listen to music to relate.” It reminds me of why I watch your videos. You’re spot on with relating to all of us on the channel! Music sometimes says the words we cannot express. Thank you for the uploads!
Thanks Kelsey! I try my best to understand, not be an expert or judge, and I’m thankful you see that. Thanks for continuing to watch😊👍
The Amity Affliction and Joel write more heart wrenching lyrics that are also relatable than any other band I can think of. sometimes just yelling or crying listening to their music is just so cathartic
theres a reason i cant listen to most of let the ocean take me album and joel has said they wont sing older albums
To answer your question they titled the song Pittsburgh because that Joel (screaming vocals) had a seizure during the 2013 Warped Tour, they said it was a result from Joel’s drinking to much and from being in the heat, so Joel wrote the lyrics for how he felt after everything happened.
Absolutely love how you reacted to the music and kept an open mind! If you want another one by them then I Bring the Weather with Me and Don’t Lean on Me are fantastic!
All Fucked Up would be a great one to react to!!
Also, OMGIMY
There are a bunch more TAA songs on patreon. Ive been requesting a bunch haha
YES! Now this is my kind of music! Much love Tom thanks for everything, and reacting to this genre specifically
It's been years since I enjoyed this genre!
@@chronicxhistories metalcore has been my go to for as long as I can remember
This is my favorite band and I’m glad someone took the time to really listen and understand them
Great reaction! I would love to add that Joel Birch, the singer (screamer) who write most of the lyrics has been diagnosed with Bipolar. Which can help understand how painful these lyrics are. Amazing band!
Great insight, thanks 😊👍
I just watched the Amity Affliction live last week here in Houston and it was the most insane concert I’ve ever been too. The engagement the crowd had with singing the chorus was incredible, definitely a powerful song and band all together!
yes! always so much fun on their concerts!
Yeah I went to them back in March and I haven't felt that kind of emotion since seeing Linkin Park Live one of the best shows I've ever been too
I also watched this live a few weeks ago when I was up in Michigan. Parkway Drive: Monsters of Oz tour at the Masonic Temple Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, featuring Make Them Suffer, Northlane, The Amity Affliction, and Parkway Drive. My first metal concert and this was amazing. I came for Parkway Drive but I loved The Amity Affliction and I had fun singing this song with the crowd.
I listen to The Amity Affliction ever time I feel down, makes me feel better. Like you said I don’t want my life to end just the moment to end. Love this band. Got goose bumps you talking about it
The song is titled "Pittsburgh" because lead vocalist Joel Birch had a near-death experience in the city while on Warped Tour in 2013(?) I believe. He was extremely dehydrated due to the overbearing heat and ended up being hospitalized for three days.
Man, what a great song. Metalcore and Post Hardcore are so often overlooked lyrically but it’s a deeply meaningful genre.
Polaris - Dusk to Day, Pray for Rain
August Burns Red - Ties that Bind, Invisible Enemy
Architects - Hereafter, Doomsday
The Ghost Inside - Aftermath, Mercy
Phinehas - Know Death; Know Forever, The Fire Itself
Wage War - Witness, Twenty One
I could keep going, but hopefully this gives you some ideas and you do more videos like this. Keep up the great work!
all really good suggestions especially Architects! Love that band to pieces
Great reply
Also Marigold by Periphery
Masochist by Polaris is reaction worthy
wow! was absolutely not expecting to hear this type of music on the channel! I like that you caught the combination of the two different voices singing the chorus towards the end of the song. Thanks for reacting to this genre of music as well and staying open to it!
Thank you! Definitely stretching me😊👍
This is a mix of metalcore / post-hardcore. Band got me through highschool
Me too, just finished ❤
Amity will always have a special place in my heart. As dark as their lyrics are when I was at my lowest point and "on the edge" I'd play them and a couple other bands with the same dark lyrics and it honestly helped me because it made me realize I wasn't alone. Got to give them credit for helping save me. 👏
This is metalcore, this music is my favorite due to the raw emotion and some s reaming some relatable lyrics
I've never seen someone do a reaction to a heavy song and so perfectly describe everything that I love about heavy music. For me heavy music is a positive way to express negativity that I need to get out.
I'm really glad he was able to appreciate this music for what it is.
all i do is sink and pittsburgh are my two favorite from amity, love it! keep up the great work! im always looking forward to your videos!
Thank you!😊👍
I currently relate to this song 100%. I'm 30 years old, suffering from incurable depression (tried every drug under the sun, countless medications and therapists, religion, CBT, cannabis), and the pains of my past are insurmountable. Through it all, my only strength has been carrying through my pain to spare my wonderful parents from the despair of a child committing suicide. If I had had horrible parents and family as a youth, I 100% wouldve committed suicide at age 12.
But here I am, at my breaking point. As the song states, "I'll carry on for you... I'll shed my tears until I am drown, or until I am underground."
I've long since drowned in my tears (happened 19 years ago, during 7th grade). I've known since then that my death would ABSOLUTELY come by my own hand via suicide. And it's not just "waking moments." I'm a very active/lucid dreamer, and I spend countless nights in my lucid dreams killing myself over and over. Every time I die in my dreams, it's a feeling of peace and rest. Every time I wake up to my blaring alarm, the thought is the same: "God, I wish I was dead. I can't do this anymore." Every single second of every single waking or sleeping moment of my life is spent wishing I was dead.
My lucid dreams used to be an opportunity to escape from reality, and live my fantasies in real life. Now, they all focus on my death... "Ahat does that mean, health care provider?" After living 2/3rds of my life battling suicide, and spending many thousands of dollars on treatments, the only empathetic solution is to allow me to go to my pharmacy, pick up a lethal dose of barbiturates/fentanyl, and let me end my perpetual suffering.
I've fought for so long to spare my parents, have drowned long ago and lost all hope, and now I'm just ready to die. Sorry, mom and dad. I love you, and I promise I will leave the cleanest, most peaceful possible corpse. Goodbye.
I don't know you, but just know that there is always light waiting for us. You are loved and you are important my friend
Yo this comment has really struck deep. I can relate to all of those feelings - im still here. I just hope you are too man. Life is always worth living. I hope you are ok and you have sought out the help you need. Peace be with you whoever you are!
Felt this...hope you're still with us buddy.
This was dope! Would love to see more metal reactions!
It's a skill to decipher metal lyrics that I still haven't nailed, but the more you have the lyrics to read the better you get
YES!! I absolutely love the Amity Affliction! I just discovered them and they’re my favorite band, by far. I’d love to see more! Thank you for this!
Love this song, the way you break it down and explain it is amazing
NICK AND TOM!! JCOLE LOVE YOURZ!!
This song... it have been there for so long for me. Started listening to this on repeat when I went through my hardest times
I just clicked on the video and I’m so excited to watch! Glad you’re listening to this, this is an amazing song
Oh wow didn’t expect this !! I LOVE this song !!!
Came across this video on a lyric bender. Your so right my friend. Amazing lyrics and arrangement aren't they. Your analysis is spot on, for the healing my ears be bleeding :) Maybe for a future video check out Polaris - Masochist. Its about self destruction, and how not being able to help yourself makes you a masochist in a way. Very poetic. Cheers brother!
I love all sorts of music as well! But Amity Affliction is by far my favorite! Great stories and lyrics, catchy choruses, they jam out on the instruments, and their melodies are off the chart!! Great video!
Give us moreeeeeee, i saw them live at warped tour a decade ago and I was hooked
Love the amity affliction so much, they honestly have helped me out so much in my life, I saw them for the first time recently and can't wait to see them again
Omg, you just covered my favorite band of all time! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!😊👍
I've seen them live so many times they were my first live band I ever saw they hold a special place in my heart
I like this dudes vibes, subbed for sure. Love the analysis love the positive thoughts too, very insightful and appreciative 👍🙏
Thanks so much!😊
I like this song. You should also check out "All F*cked Up" by them as well
Wow this was really unexpected, TAA is an amazing band tbh, each song is a trip and an anchor for those who are lost,, thx for this!!
this song, carried me through the darkest days of my life i had yet 👍🔥🤝
Never heard this band but I love it 💙💙 thank you Tom!
Awesome reaction, Amity are my favorite band! The reason behind the title Pittsburgh is linked to the lyrics slightly. Back in 2013 during Warped Tour in Pittsburgh Joel (the lead singer) had a seizure brought on by dehydration and drinking too much beer in the summer heat. The lyrics relate to how his body felt before and after.
i just wanted to say happy 100k tom, been watching since 2.4k subs :)
-- Wolfie
love this song and album, first metalcore i really got into, would love to see more metal reactions (and some bladee reactions, would love to see you comment on his journey toward faith recently on his album The Fool)
you perfectly described why I love metal, getting out emotion, I never really liked the genre until a friend took me to a show at a time in my life where i was totally overwhelmed, nothing more therapeutic than sharing that catharsis with a bunch of strangers who love and relate to the same sound
Understanding screaming is definitely an acquired skill
Yesss, more metal 🤘🏻this is one band that will always be a good topic of discussion
Counterparts and Being As An Ocean, too!
I grew up listening to bands like this and rap like $uicideboy$. this metal is post hardcore, its a mixture of screaming metal and melodic metal with heavy riffs mixed in with melodic riffs. its a beautiful mixture and usually the lyrics are spot on amazing. I feel a lot of us just needed a way to vent how we felt without breaking down mentally and physically. bands like this, asking Alexandria, bring me the horizon, they all just spoke to me on a hurtful and painful level and made me feel less alone as well. I guess there's a lot of reasons I love these bands and artists.
edit: the part about blasting it and having it help relieve emotions we can't or don't understand is also spot on!
Thanks so much for these comments! Appreciate your take😊👍
Tom he wrote this song about the one time he almost died from heat exhaustion while at a show in Pittsburgh
I've always thought that the chorus of this song could easily describe a panic attack, bp and heart rate go up, hyperventilating to the point where you feel like you can't breathe, sweating uncontrollably as your temperature rises, your body is so out of whack that you are disoriented and can't move. And all you want is someone to help you find a way out of this feeling
On this kind of topic - I think the band Motionless In White is good or Falling in Reverse is classic too. Not as hard as this, but it’s good
Well this song means alot for me. Many feelings goes through when watching and hearing this song and when the chorus comes on in play i always get a little teary cause its so beautiful. In treatment but at the same time music has always been my way of getting feelings out. Specially this song has helped alot cause of the screamo (aggression release) since i do screamo in line with the song.
Well said, thank you 😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial ❤
I think it's so cute how you react to this music. You really seem to understand from an outsider view of how the lyrics are trying to convey when people have mental illness.
My fav song by them is Give Up the Ghost. Hope you can react to that one!
Metal music saved my life growing up its all I listened to in my darkest times
Love this Tom!
My favorite band by far and amazing job with this video
James Here - thankyou so much for this reaction. And on my birthday no less!! I used this music todo exactly what you said. To remove the anger and sadness inside. Im sorry to say i dont know why this song is called Pittsburgh. Thanks as Always Tom! One song down one song togo!
End of Heartache - Killswitch Engage ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!😊👍🎂🎊🎉
It's called Pittsburgh because the singer had a seizure from alcohol and heat stress during the Pittsburgh stop of the warped tour music festival. The song is about how he was feeling after almost dying.
@@evancampbell7407thankyou for letting us know!
One of my favorite songs
If you want another song that a lot of people agree describes depression well, check out "Breaking Down" by I Prevail
hey man, found your channel now, always like these music analysis videos, esp from like a psychology/psychotherapy/ w/e kind of perspective? now THAT'S rare. ESP with stuff like metal, now i'm new, and i am tempted to "throw you into the deep end" as far as "metal" goes, but if you don't mind me throwing a suggestion to consider your way, more stuff like this would be great, stuff like Of Mice And Men, Architects, Slipknot(might be a bit heavy but maybe not.)
i don't really have a song suggestion in mind, there's a lot of them, especially since these bands have been around for so long,so here's some info on some of them:
Of Mice And Men is another Metalcore(this band, this song, that you reacted to, that's the sub-genre.) band, who gone through several members, one of the former vocalists had marfans syndrome and was a longtime member, left some years ago(and uh,i hear now has "allegations" against him...) the other vocalist and the (guitar? i think.) player took over more recently and has had a couple albums as the lead singer, bringing the band to something heavier than they used to be more recently, still with the mix of harsh and clean vocals. i'd tell you more about themes but would take more effort and space.
Architects, oh man, another good metalcore band, more "progressive" musically than the others, many albums may have a darker theme, a guitarist with the band(again,not sure on instrument.) twin brother of the drummer, and IIRC the primary song writer, had discovered he had a kind of skin cancer, the last album he wrote had more nihilistic tones/themes and such about the world ending, turned out it was about HIS world ending, as he found out it was terminal, didn't tell anyone for a long time, it ended up cancelling their big world tour for what was at the time thought of as their best album, the song "doomsday" was the last he wrote. there's one more album out after that, fairly recent.
ahhh, Slipknot, started around the late 90's lots of drug abuse in the band members history as well as tragedy such as deaths of loved ones and band members(even more recently a band members child.) and sad wild tales in their lives, hard to slot them into a specific genre, nothing quite fits so well. jumpsuits,masks, and a dose of counter culture, Iowa album(iowa being their home state. only one of these bands is not american, that being the middle.) is perhaps the most beloved by fans.
right, sorry this is so long, i just wanted to give some good info, if you read any of this, let alone consider doing a reaction to any of these bands, thanks! and nice channel.
This review of the song was badass and I love this band and he got every moment of this song amazing
Love this band and particularly, their lyrics. They have a newer song called 'Give up the Ghost' which tackles the process of addressing mental health and the ups and downs of trying to get better.
I have alexithymia so I struggle to identify my emotions as anything other than a binary 'good/bad' emotion but find that artists like this who are addressing deep emotional issues offer a way to help me with my own emotions.
Really interesting to see your perspective and openness too. I've noticed artists across quite a few genres now tacking their issues this way. Seems like a sort of self-driven therapy to me and a song will have had the lyrics pondered over immensely which may offer more depth than a simple diary entry.
The metalcore and post hardcode genres have loads of songs which address this sort of thing and I think would be great for one of your videos:
Eight Seconds by Touché Amoré (details the vocalist receiving the call about his mother's passing, the entire album explores this and I think it's lyrically phenomenal)
Sleepwalking by Being Me The Horizon (explores depression and addiction)
Memento Mori by Architects (about facing the end of one's life facing a battle with cancer)
Disease by Beartooth (deals with depression)
Aftermath by The Ghost Inside (dealing with the 'aftermath' of the band surving quite a horrific tour bus accident)
I love juice wrld and found you bc of juice. But this song has an immense meaning in my life I'm so glad someone else requested this. This song changed my life.
yes my fav band would love to see billy talent- nothing to lose!
I think this guy is spot on about why people listen to rock music.
I love The Amity Affliction them and Linkin Park have always just made me feel less alone through the relatable songs like someone actually gets it.
I would love to see some more Amity, i think Fever Dream would be nice!
I hope on this channel will be more of this kind of music. So many Metalcore bands are on a really deep and well written level of emotions and mental illness their dealing with in theirs songs. For example: Being As An Ocean; A Day To Remember; We Came As Romans; Polaris or my favorite band: LANDMVRKS
It takes away the solitude and loneliness when realizing you're not alone in the way you tend to feel at times. This genre of music is what we call Metalcore. It's heavy instrumental and vocals but if you read the lyrics, they are expressing most of the pain and sadness that most of us hide behind our social media. I love bands that bring real feelings to light and that it's OK to feel things. That's what life is about. Whether it's feeling good or bad, feeling alive is better than never feeling anything ever again. We take laughter, tears, happy crying, and so much more for granted. Someday you just might miss feeling something... anything...
Yes one of my favorite bands!
i never expected TAA to be on this channel 😂 you should check out the song “sunrise” by the band Our Last Night. it’s a rock banger
YES great suggestion
You have to do “being as an ocean-the hardest part is forgetting those you swore you would never forget”
I started watching his channel when he was reacting to NF, now if he's reacting to rock/heavy genre this is the cherry on top!! There's a lot of lyrics in heavy music that is so deep but most of the people don't take the time to listen to it because it's not their cup of tea. The fact he's taking time to listen pittsburgh by them he can easily listen other songs in this genre!! Love it!
Doing my best Hugo! I’m always open to learning😁👍
i love your videos and i watch every video and keep up the good work, please. i also like how you post multiple times of day and pick some great music, post some more juice wrld please
Yayyyy!!!! You reacted to them !! You need to react to architects - doomsday ! Amazing band and song
Loving these videos and your channel!
I highly suggest looking into Blue October. The lead singer, Justin, has one hell of a story. He struggled with addiction for many years and has been sober since around 2013. He has an uncanny ability to display emotion in his lyrics and voice. A good starting song would be their number one hit "Hate Me" which came out when Justin was still using in 2006. To see the change in him and the band, you can go to "I Hope You're Happy" which has completely different tones and messaging. Another classic, raw song is "Into the Ocean."
Tom, if you don't know Blue October and their story, PLEASE look into it!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the comments and the request😊👍
Parkway drive next! Yayyyyy
Hey! Just found this video and realized its almost Christmas time.. How is your guitar learning going? Awesome video!
Im failing, lol, but committed to keep trying for 2023! Thanks for asking
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Best of luck in 2023!!
The way he started that out “Okay James” 😂
Wtf finally a banger
This band saved my life, there the band on my phone case
The people in your fan base literally have an almost exact taste of my music from X to Juice and now even amity, pretty funny but I also love classic rock
Dive into the TAA backlog!!
Mad at myself, or never lose your flames
You have the right ppl recommending songs. This is it
Love your analysis of the song! I wish I could see you react to more Post hardcore/Metal music. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea though.
So the song was written about when the lead singer was going through alcohol withdrawal and almost died.
It was titled Pittsburgh but that's where it happened
you have accurately described how i am, and why i love TAA. They sing of things that I have gone through, and I understand how much the lyrics impact me, and how much they impact Joel, the heavy vocalist/lyricist. I have had 4 therapists and none of them have quite understood what i meant when i told them i felt like that, and yet you did it within the first 2 minutes of the song! i wish you were my therapist my friend. hope you listen to more metal, because it isn't satanic, most of the time it's a call for help.
He doesnt actually sing "wishing this world would end" but "wishing this would end" so there is still no destructive emotion
Absolutely love this song , it definitely helped me in my harder times. Pls do crash by Eden or drugs by Eden
Hi, I'm kinda new here, but absolutely fell in love with your content. Keep up the good work!
Maybe you could do a review on Mass of man - Fallen angel
It gives a good view on depression
Thanks for being a part of the family!😊👍
Interesting perspective, and it lines up with my own views on music. Music makes you feel things and can cause your brain to release endorphins so there's that obvious attraction. Metal specifically focuses on the negative side of the spectrum such as anger, rage, sorrow, loss, grief, etc. and delivers it in an excessively high energy package. Where else will you find groups of people who love the same thing enough that they'll assault each-other over it and still be friends when the song is over? Maybe Football (Soccer) specifically in Europe... Anywho...
By focusing on this darker range of emotions, it causes you to experience whatever emotion the artist is trying to convey in a controlled and concentrated fashion, which helps you learn to process these emotions when you encounter them in the wild. You don't generally dip your toes in, you get thrown in the deep end with circling sharks. Like with anything, practicing at something makes you better at it. Practicing at being angry makes you better at it. You learn how to control yourself, how to calm yourself down, how to think through the wall of fire. Some of the most levelheaded and emotionally stable people I've ever met listened to music that was too hard or dark even for me - and I casually listen to music that would probably scare - and definitely confuse - most people.
For example, I listen to a song by ADTR called Violence and it's a face-melter so it has the potential to get you violently angry/hyped - but outside of an extremely limited scope rooted in self-defense I'm extremely non-violent. As much as I don't want to inflict it, songs about violence do scratch an itch for me and serve as an outlet for something that I don't want to internalize.
What's exceptionally interesting is the musical package that comes with metal. I'd be surprised if there were a single metal musician with even a modest following that wouldn't be considered an extremely talented musician by anyone in any other genre, regardless of what they play.
Edit: Also, an eargasm is when what you hear sends shivers down your spine. It's endorphins being released.
The song is called Pittsburgh because the screamer had a medical episode at a concert (potentially a festival) in (or near) Pittsburgh. He was dehydrated and over-intoxicated; passed out; seized and stopped breathing to the point of requiring resuscitation.
im a little late of seeing this video but the amity affliction is one of the greatest bands this world has ever seen. and the way you explained this was perfect. you can hear the pain in every single song they've ever produced
It was amazing to hear an opinion of a therapist. We are living hard times in a middle of the WAR. Thank you from Ukraine 💛💙
Appreciate the comments! Thank you 😊👍
@@ReactionTherapyOfficial Pittsburgh is the city, by the way. And the genre is host-hatdcore.
So awesome that the same guy who does Juice WRLD does The Amity Affliction!!!
Open letter and all f**ked up are great songs too
But you are 100% correct towards the end this is the sort of music you put on to express yourself when your in this state of mind, especially when you go to one of their shows and there's hundreds of others around you singing along its just nice to know that your not the only one that feels that way. For me it's always a way to put feelings to words i struggle to talk about how I feel but music like this can express it for me
As for the name of this song he's a part of an interview talking about it
We called it Pittsburgh because at Warped Tour 2013 Joel had a seizure, just from drinking too much and being too hot - it was really hot. I think he wrote the song about the way he was feeling after that situation; I think it's generally about how he was feeling until today. It's an outlet through lyrics, it's meaningful for him. It's all-encompassing lyrically… Well, you know what Joel always writes about. It’s kind of like the bond of our band.
Tommmmm you gotta do the videos for this type of music!!! You could just watch the music video with captions. But I still love you, don't worry, I didn't unsubscribe LOL :) and yo, the eargasm hahahaha that is the funniest thing
I can’t seem to please everyone, PLEASE don’t unsubscribe charlotte! I will be devastated and listen to more of this music all day and night!!!😩😢
Really do apreciate your reaction to The Amity Affliction. Pittsburgh does have awesome lyrics. I would also suggest you to take a look into The Amity Affliction - Give up the ghost
This song does also have awesome deep lyrics and I´m pretty sure you´re gonna like it
Cheers from germany
James?! Best request ever!💫💫💫💫💫
Beartooth- In Between would be another great one to react to
Amity is my favorite band they have helped me so so much;-;
Please do Heart Attack by Dave! It's an absolute masterpiece and I think you'd have some interesting insights on grief and trauma
Keep up the great work!
Pittsburgh is where he almost died of alcohol poisoning.
