i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any help you can offer me.
Too many people see the video without listening to the lyrics. Em has created a masterpiece with darkness. Em has done what he does best taking an important subject and instead of sugar coating it lays it out bare to shock people into talking about it and so want something to be done.
ann brown I like Eminem but to say that he’s just laying down the facts is completely wrong. He’s laying down political bias. This song literally pushes for gun control and Eminem just doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to firearms.
One of Eminem's best songs that you don't catch til the end is 25 to Life. The first time I heard that I flipped out. Darkness did the same thing to me because I only listened to the audio before watching the video.
I’m not a religious person, but just by hearing how you interpreted the song I can tell you’re a good man. Keep doing what you love and spreading positivity. I think no matter what any of us believe, look like or follow, the end goal is love from all and love for all.
Seen this when it dropped. I can say that little that I run into phases me anymore. But this,THIS.....DAMN.. I FEEL THIS START TO FINISH. I hesitantly admit I deal DAILY. I remember early as 13 feeling hopeless. It's in my family,its now in my babies Gene's. It's a hopeless,endless cycle mixed with anxiety that you just cant understand even as you deal with personally. Mixed with the insane empathy for these victims...I uncontrollably put myself in the shoes of these lost lives,the fear,the franaticism... I hurt so bad for anyone this lost to take these lives.. This is prime example of why I respect this man as the artist and person he is..WOW...the tears are flowing. Hit home BIGTIME. Is there ever a way out of this "LONELY IN DARKNESS "
Hip hop in general kept me off of cigarettes, alcohol and drugs as a whole where as instead of taking up smoking or drinking to cope with stress or instead of turning to drinking for drugs to cope with life. I just blasted some hip hop but Eminem specifically is what made me see hip hop as an outlet. I truly believe in my lowest times (apart from how it would affect my mum) Eminem's music is what kept me alive. In a point where I was sure everyone was talking shit behind my back, if I talked about it more people would talk shit. When around other people I would put on a mask and act like I was normal. From the time I was roughly 10 (probably earlier if I really think) up until about year or 2 ago (I'm 28 now), I have always put on a mask when I was with other people and broke down when alone. Eminem's music just gave me an outlet to just get pumped and just think fuck you all, fuck the world, fuck everything. There is a lot more but it doesn't specifically involve Eminem so if I don't shut up now otherwise I'll just keep rambling on. Even though I am in no way a religious person (apart from a bout in primary school when we had a RE teacher come in to teach us about religion and don't get me started on that obvious brainwashing) but I can respect choosing religion as a comfort, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else do anything you want is my motto. I really respect how you can break down these songs and not be preachy about it.
NEW SUBSCRIBER BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO. So wonderful and refreshing to hear an intelligent, pure of spirit, kind, genuine person in touch with their soul and emotions on this platform. Just wanted to say your presence is appreciated. This track and video made me cry as well. I felt it too. I am a different faith than you, I’m Jewish. But that makes no difference in that I felt the commonality of our souls crying out in unison as we watched the depiction of the unfortunately all to real life tragedy that unfolds in this video. Just hits at a deeper level sharing that viewing with someone who it also hits so deeply with. Thank you for expressing your truth, being unafraid to share your emotions (that most of us share with you), and for your genuineness in sharing this experience with all of us. ❤️ may all the victims of senseless acts of violence Rest In Peace. Gone but never forgotten.
God I don’t know why I keep watching this song, he’s like captured anxiety and depression because you’re anxious. Like every part of you physically and emotionally is trying to hold yourself together. Sometimes I wonder if the alternative is to not, and let yourself accept what ails you, and then you add this idea that if you do you’ll go “bananas” into the picture… crazy
Dude...we share none of the same beliefs...I am atheist....but I enjoy watching your reactions ....so down to earth.... and i was a cop for 16 years so this video hits home........i wish i knew the answer to this problem but unfortunately i dont....rest in peace to the 58 killed that night....
Why does everybody act like this is such a complicated problem? The Vegas shooter couldn't have killed and wounded OVER 400 PEOPLE from a mile away if high-magazine, military-grade gun ownership was illegal here like it is everywhere else in the world. Most countries have never had a mass-shooting event; we have half a dozen each year. Don't get distracted by red herrings from the gun industry about mental illness, this is all about the GUNS.
Fuq the cold 45 ima need something strong if I’m gonna pop any caps it better be off of vodka. He saying fuq the 45 revolver Ima use a bigger gun for shoooting
What why dang you really put a true perspective to theses videos thank god I found your reactions it made me think deeper I never thought I could because I think very deep I think out the box and truly needed to hear your words
This song was so real for me.. I'm from las Vegas. I worked at Mandalay, I have family that works there but thankfully had that night off..didnt know it at the time. By dad was supposed to be there but broke up with his gf that day and ended up not going. My niece had to run for her life.. I was up all night waiting to hear from fam. Gut wrenching. I wasnt there but i could literally smell the strip like i was. Awful. I have friends that lost people.. this one hurt.
How he actually whispers "double entendre" and the Sound of Silence being played on piano and the sadness in the singer's voice. The shooter had 47 assault rifles with some modified with bump stock. No civilians needs those kind of weapons! I was in the FSU Strozier Library shooting in 2014. Changed my life after being barracading under a table, bullets flying by striking bookcases. Some think Em is ghost but Eminem is WOKE! Thanks for being vulnerable! I cried with you my guy! 🔥🔥💛💛💛💛💛
Peace Train, Paddock absolutely did own 47 guns. He had 24 of them in the Las Vegas hotel room that he committed the mass shooting from. Twenty-four firearms, a large quantity of ammunition, and numerous high-capacity magazines capable of holding up to 100 rounds apiece were found in the suite. Fourteen of the firearms were .223-caliber AR-15-type semi-automatic rifles: three manufactured by Colt, two by Daniel Defense, two by FN Herstal, two by LWRC International, two by POF-USA, one with a .223 Wylde chamber by Christensen Arms, one made-to-order by LMT, and one by Noveske. The others were eight .308-caliber AR-10-type rifles, one .308-caliber Ruger American bolt-action rifle, and one .38-caliber Smith & Wesson Model 342 revolver. The AR-15 rifles were fitted with vertical forward grips and bump fire stocks, the latter of which allowed for recoil to actuate their triggers at a rate of 90 rounds in 10 seconds. The AR-10 rifles were equipped with various telescopic sights and mounted on bipods.
This whole album alone is to put everyone in their places. Godzilla proved Eminem is still the fastest spitter of all time 229 in 30s Darkness as his album platform to bring awareness of gun violence to prove he isn’t living under a rock. Stepdad where he’s completely vulnerable with his feelings saying he’s as human as you or your brother. Leaving heaven shows the anger he has for everyone in his life that got him where he is now. Eminem was is and always will be the mfking goat! 🐐
Wendy Shank I do feel you and I hate that u were in that position but u can’t tell people what they need or want I get the point that you guys make but he would’ve and could’ve done the same damage with just one gun He could’ve just owned a pistol and went down there and did what he wanted to do The amount of guns was not the problem
@@eduardoestudillo9276 NEVER told anyone what they need or want. Not sure why you thought that. It was my opinion, my COMMENT on the caliber, ammunition & amount of rifles. My opinion. Between hotel & 2 homes, like that even matters. Trust if I had been allowed to carry my handgun CWP & had a shot I would've taken it in that library that morning.
Em is a genius with the double entendres: "murder a show", "looking through the curtain", "the stage", etc. The world needed this song, both because we need someone as influential and respected as Eminem to echo the truth about mass shootings and because 95% of rap songs these days aren't saying shit aside from "I have nice car, I have much money, I is in gang, I get very sex, yuh yuh yuh skirt skirt." And man I remember hearing about the Vegas shooting when it happened and thinking "oh, another mass shooting, okay..." Now that I'm seeing this video and how horrifically sad the event was, the fact that my response was "oh, another one" shows there's a deep problem with this country and its gun laws. It's a whole different experience when you can see and hear the real people screaming and dying, nothing like this should be normal anywhere. This is also the first Eminem song I heard that I don't even want to rap along to, it feels less like an entertaining rap song and more of an elegantly told story that I can only listen to intently. I'm just wondering how I managed to survive growing up, living in the South where guns are as common as people without a college degree and going to public schools from 2005 to 2017. I got lucky.
I really like the "that's a lot of shots, huh?" Because it's the alcohol he's talking about but as it zooms on the shot glass, you can see the bullets so you realise that it's actually about the gun and the shots being fired.
@The Habbo God Basically this is how the majority of society today thinks: White guy addressing mass shootings = preachy, SJW, get politics out of muh music. Black guy whines about slavery and other things he never actually experienced for a day in his life = intellectual, groundbreaking, reeeee all white people are privileged and all black people deserve free money reeeee.
@The Habbo God It's just hilarious to me how rap has gone from "I went through shit all my life, and now I'm gonna fuck up anyone who stands between me and what I want" to "I had a pretty good life growing up, but people of my race 200 years ago didn't have good lives so feel sorry for me".
I went into this video expecting just blind hate for rap but still wanted to know what it was all about. I really didn't expect to see such an interesting interpretation of the song. Live the video mate!
Look the thing that's always made em great is his ability to tell a story, bring you in, make you feel the emotion, see things from many prospectives! He's only gotten better with age! His younger self was great but his older wiser self is so full of wisdom and he's clearly very smart! This maybe my favorite album yet!!! Call me stan!!!
Well said. It drives me nuts when people say "I liked his old stuff". Everything he does is a gift that should be cherished. This video still gives me chills.
Eminem is a genuine wordsmith. Nobody writes lyrics like Eminem and i honestly don't think he gets enough credit for his true talent (which is the writing)
Ok so I just now stumbled upon your channel and your reaction to this song. I'm the same age as Em and I've been a hardcore fan since his debut. Seriously impressed with your reaction to this one. Mad respect for the way you ended the video. I totally get it. No matter how many times I've heard this song, I always have to spend a few minutes afterwards in silence and sort of decompress. This one takes a lot out of you, whether it's your first listen or the one millionth. 💜☮️
It's like Eminem pointed out at the end of the song "When will this change, When enough people care", this is how you use a platform to point out what is wrong with the world. He's basically asking when will you care enough to voice your opinion about the gun laws, when will enough be enough
"But if you want to know the...reason why I did this...you'll never find a motive..."....full stop!! This was a tragedy and a massacre and all we can say today is NO ONE KNOWS WHY!! Easy to say the guy was crazy but was he? What do you do when you have this kind of massacre and the best conclusion law enforcement came to was "We just don't know..."....no answers...no reasons..just collected a MASSIVE amount of firepower (he had more ammo in that hotel room than any SOLDIER in a war zone firefight)....and all perfectly legal...
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” - Doesn’t matter who does what. England has more gun crime per capita and they banned firearms. There’s a stabbing in Australia every three seconds and they banned firearms. The Vegas shooter was suffering from PTSD and the VA wasn’t helping (this in information given to us by his family members). You don’t have to have prior convictions to be mentally ill. If someone decides to kill innocent people in mass numbers, then they’re mentally ill.
This is the only reaction video I’ve ever hit the like button on. I’ll definitely be watching some more of your reactions, this was easily the greatest reaction vid I’ve seen out of anyone before. Don’t let people’s hate stop you from doing these!
Man you reaction was so raw and that you still posted it was the right decision. It's good to see an artist use there platform to try to make a change. Not saying I agree with his views but we have to do something. Even a step in the wrong direction is stila step you can always correct your course but we need to start it.
Brother I love u. U can say oh my God. Some of us still believe. Great review. I love u man I'm old enough to be your father easy but I'm looking up to u. God bless you man 🙏
There's way more people wanting good for people than there is haters so ignore the hate they will realise when they grow up when they receive hate then they'll regret it ;D
this entire situation feels like we're holding a stick of dynamite with a mile long fuse. We know there is danger, but we think we're safe because we think the fuse isn't lit. but by the time we know it is it's already too late. but there's never just one way the dynamite can explode. the only safe solution is to get rid of it entirely. I'm not sure if my simile makes sense to anyone else but there you go.
This was so powerful, especially with everything that is going on in our country right now. I pray to the Lord that things like this do not get any worse.
Just watched your reaction to Tom MacDonald’s new song and now this one. I just subbed. You’re awesome! And crying and showing emotion is healthy. And not caring who sees? That makes you real.
The reason I subscribed was BECAUSE of the abrupt ending. I can 100% relate, and I think that is what this track needs and deserves. There is a whole lot in their to process, to really give a final conclusion. I'm not done yet either. But proud of Em for that track. This will deservedly go down as one of his classics/most important songs.
Hey man God bless your soul. I've been listening to eminem since I was a little kid and he has got me through the hardest times. When I came to Christ in 2019 god opened my eyes to finally see what eminem was pointing to. Through out his whole career he has been crying out for help. We need to pray for Marshall. Imagine if he could use his impeccable ability to praise God. Kanye did now Justin Bieber and I know I'm my heart that he will too. Also my cousin was in the Vegas shooting and got shot in the liver and jaw. She's doing very well praise God. And also my little cousin was killed the santa Clarita school shooting in November of 2019. I'm in a Christian dicipleship program and I was laying on the couch when he dropped the album and this was the first song and I just broke down. Everything in life points to Christ. Victory is already made! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths. I'm 20 and life has just started
Brother the Evidence of the Lord within you is amazing. You weren't even going into the mental battle the gunman was having that spiritual battle trying to get out the dark hollows of ourselves. Your face shows you were able to relate to the struggle. God Bless
crazy how the entire song has a double meaning. 'You cant murder a show nobody''s at'. Also really well portrayed about the shooter not having a crminal/registered mental issue history and is a licensed owner, and thus: 'sky's the limit, his supply is infinite''. Change the gun laws guys, not the root of the issue but it'd help a little, so also definitely don't forget to put even more focus on attention to mental health problems.
Just watched this reaction and cried right along with you. It's not a left or right or conservative or liberal or believer or nonbeliever thing, it's a human thing. Thank you for doing you.
@Ernaldo shupe easy access to high power, and rapid fire guns needs to be restricted.... It works everywhere else in the civilised world.... Only Americans have this problem
@Ernaldo shupe The faster the bullets, the more people die, by only limiting access to rapid fire would not end shootings but it will significantly decrease the number of deaths. increasing security at the hotel would have easily prevented Las Vegas shooting. You can't bring multiple rifles to an hotel room like that. Ok you're a licensed owner ? Let's get ahold of them and you can get your guns back when you’re leaving. This won't prevent the shooting but at least bullets won't come flying from the sky.. This is just an opinion. Shootings will never stop but number of casualties could at least decrease
@Ernaldo shupe Just tries to learn from the world. Take Switzerland. They have more weapon per person but there's no single shooting. Because people respect guns. they even let their kids learn how to shoot from a gun. I don't know what is holding the USA.Probably, egoism.
@Ernaldo shupe Hi, in my country it is really difficult to get a gun. If you want to, you can get it but you have to go through a lot of controls and stuff. You can never get a rapid fire gun. That is illegal. Just so you know,. we never had a school shooting (Not to jinx it.) We don´t carry guns and we usually don´t have them at our house or disposal. As I said, you are free to get one, but it is not easy. Greetings from the 10th safest country in the world :).
beautiful analysis and reaction...I've listened to this song so many times and you still picked up on a lot of lines I didn't even notice. gotta sub!! :D
Shit always listen to em and experienced simliar things like em in the past and youth had made me Icecold like really I'm a ICECUBE i don't left a tear for a sec.
This was my first reaction I have heard you do I could tell halfway through we had somethings in common not or same vibes thoughts whatever it may be i enjoyed your reaction you gain another
Hello darkness my old friend hits me very different. From Simon and Garfunkel. Even caught the piano from the song. I did not know something so utterly dark and beyond horrific could be beyond such a masterpiece. Eminem might have not gotten a lot of love for the song.....NOW. But in the future this song will certainly be held as a masterpiece of music. Of the reactions I have seen of this song.....yours shows the most humanity. It shows your compassion and love. Keep doing you. Haters come and go. You are forever.
Dude, id like to just thank you for 'getting' this, ive seen people have this go over there heads and they think em is rapping about him shooting up a crowd...NO! listen properly and watch people, this is DEEP art, its a masterpeice! Its what sets eminem apart from every other rapper, maybe only joyner lucas could do similiar, this is powerful storytelling, hits you right in the heart, i actually feel bad for eminem though cuz hes so good that alot of his stuff people are too lazy to understand so they just jump on it, i fear hes another one that will only truly be appreciated when hes dead and thats so fuckin sad, this is a masterpeice up there with stan!
I listened to the song a few times after first hearing it and seeing the music video. After the second or third time, I started realizing the double meaning. I also realized who the shooter in the video was. Stephen Paddock during the 2018 Las Vegas shooting. And, just as it says in the song, he was a licensed ownet with no prior convictions. And he had no clear motive for doing what he did. But his brother pointed out that Stephen was an alcoholic. In the hotel room, there was an arsenal of guns found, the one being used was a modified assault rifle used to fire fully automatic. When the police arrived, he killed himself.
The ending of the video would've been insane if Eminem went out on stage and started signing one of his classic cheerful songs. It would've brought out a whole other emotional side to the video. Suicidal thoughts to immediately changing his mentality to being a cheerful guy for the fans and media.
How come people keep missing the fact the entire song is a sample from Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Sound of Silence’? That’s a layer so many have missed. There’s no explanation because the shooter kept it silent...
You made me realize that their is more to Eminem music then swearing and good rhymes and fast rapping it tells a story and he is trying to tell us something
We live in a society that if you're not with them, you're against them. What happened to just respecting opinions and having great conversations?? My podcast will be up soon talking about issues in the world but from different perspectives. At the end, we still love each other, just may no agree on some things. Stay tuned.,,

Basically sums this song up in a nutshell.
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to get back into an instagram account??

Facts!
agreed. Deep messages, controversal, but important
Except he made a bolt action rifle full auto. That’s not how that works.
@@rescue08jrgaming72 Kinds not the point really. Petty oh that gun isn't right is NOT the point
ann brown I like Eminem but to say that he’s just laying down the facts is completely wrong. He’s laying down political bias. This song literally pushes for gun control and Eminem just doesn’t know what he’s talking about when it comes to firearms.
This song is like the movie fight club, once you understand, watch/listen to it again and everything will make sense

He could’ve just owned a pistol and went down there and did what he wanted to do
The amount of guns was not the problem
@@eduardoestudillo9276 NEVER told anyone what they need or want. Not sure why you thought that. It was my opinion, my COMMENT on the caliber, ammunition & amount of rifles. My opinion. Between hotel & 2 homes, like that even matters. Trust if I had been allowed to carry my handgun CWP & had a shot I would've taken it in that library that morning.
@@kristinkeiner9936 Thank you for those specifics & corrections, mind blown..
Em is a genius with the double entendres: "murder a show", "looking through the curtain", "the stage", etc. The world needed this song, both because we need someone as influential and respected as Eminem to echo the truth about mass shootings and because 95% of rap songs these days aren't saying shit aside from "I have nice car, I have much money, I is in gang, I get very sex, yuh yuh yuh skirt skirt."
And man I remember hearing about the Vegas shooting when it happened and thinking "oh, another mass shooting, okay..." Now that I'm seeing this video and how horrifically sad the event was, the fact that my response was "oh, another one" shows there's a deep problem with this country and its gun laws. It's a whole different experience when you can see and hear the real people screaming and dying, nothing like this should be normal anywhere.
This is also the first Eminem song I heard that I don't even want to rap along to, it feels less like an entertaining rap song and more of an elegantly told story that I can only listen to intently. I'm just wondering how I managed to survive growing up, living in the South where guns are as common as people without a college degree and going to public schools from 2005 to 2017. I got lucky.
I really like the "that's a lot of shots, huh?" Because it's the alcohol he's talking about but as it zooms on the shot glass, you can see the bullets so you realise that it's actually about the gun and the shots being fired.
@The Habbo God Basically this is how the majority of society today thinks:
White guy addressing mass shootings = preachy, SJW, get politics out of muh music.
Black guy whines about slavery and other things he never actually experienced for a day in his life = intellectual, groundbreaking, reeeee all white people are privileged and all black people deserve free money reeeee.
@The Habbo God It's just hilarious to me how rap has gone from "I went through shit all my life, and now I'm gonna fuck up anyone who stands between me and what I want" to "I had a pretty good life growing up, but people of my race 200 years ago didn't have good lives so feel sorry for me".
When you feel overwhelmed by haters at some point, listen closely to Eminem as he says "They can all get fucked, just stay true to you"
broooo just ignore the hate and do what u want... your life... !!!!!!!!!!
I went into this video expecting just blind hate for rap but still wanted to know what it was all about. I really didn't expect to see such an interesting interpretation of the song. Live the video mate!
I rap lol 😂
That was my exact reaction! Couldn’t control my tears
Look the thing that's always made em great is his ability to tell a story, bring you in, make you feel the emotion, see things from many prospectives! He's only gotten better with age! His younger self was great but his older wiser self is so full of wisdom and he's clearly very smart! This maybe my favorite album yet!!! Call me stan!!!
Well said. It drives me nuts when people say "I liked his old stuff". Everything he does is a gift that should be cherished. This video still gives me chills.
Word
Eminem is a genuine wordsmith. Nobody writes lyrics like Eminem and i honestly don't think he gets enough credit for his true talent (which is the writing)
Ok so I just now stumbled upon your channel and your reaction to this song. I'm the same age as Em and I've been a hardcore fan since his debut. Seriously impressed with your reaction to this one. Mad respect for the way you ended the video. I totally get it. No matter how many times I've heard this song, I always have to spend a few minutes afterwards in silence and sort of decompress. This one takes a lot out of you, whether it's your first listen or the one millionth. 💜☮️
Omg I love your reaction. So beautiful. Subscribed!
It's like Eminem pointed out at the end of the song "When will this change, When enough people care", this is how you use a platform to point out what is wrong with the world. He's basically asking when will you care enough to voice your opinion about the gun laws, when will enough be enough
this was very well said brother ....im glad you are here .....nice soul filled reaction
I liked your breakdown. You get the point. I'm gonna sub. 🤘
I’m agnostic in faith, but I love your channel and your reactions. Keep it up man 🙏🏼
What a good person!
"But if you want to know the...reason why I did this...you'll never find a motive..."....full stop!!
This was a tragedy and a massacre and all we can say today is NO ONE KNOWS WHY!! Easy to say the guy was crazy but was he? What do you do when you have this kind of massacre and the best conclusion law enforcement came to was "We just don't know..."....no answers...no reasons..just collected a MASSIVE amount of firepower (he had more ammo in that hotel room than any SOLDIER in a war zone firefight)....and all perfectly legal...
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

Doesn’t matter who does what. England has more gun crime per capita and they banned firearms. There’s a stabbing in Australia every three seconds and they banned firearms. The Vegas shooter was suffering from PTSD and the VA wasn’t helping (this in information given to us by his family members). You don’t have to have prior convictions to be mentally ill. If someone decides to kill innocent people in mass numbers, then they’re mentally ill.
I'm from vegas and I know it was a setup... us locals have proof....
Rodrigo no you don’t.
@@rescue08jrgaming72 sit down clown....
Rodrigo Good job presenting your proof
You are a good human being. That's pretty rare.
This is the only reaction video I’ve ever hit the like button on. I’ll definitely be watching some more of your reactions, this was easily the greatest reaction vid I’ve seen out of anyone before. Don’t let people’s hate stop you from doing these!
I cried as well when I saw this. So immensely powerful song.
Man you reaction was so raw and that you still posted it was the right decision. It's good to see an artist use there platform to try to make a change. Not saying I agree with his views but we have to do something. Even a step in the wrong direction is stila step you can always correct your course but we need to start it.
Brother I love u. U can say oh my God. Some of us still believe. Great review. I love u man I'm old enough to be your father easy but I'm looking up to u. God bless you man 🙏
God bless you Jordan. Love u kid.
I love this video!!! You can tell his reaction is 💯% real! Love love this bro!
I cry everytime I hear this song its deep and has a very strong meaning to it
For every emotion I've felt. Pain, hurt, anger, vengeance, regret, even comedy and so much more, there is an Eminem song that portrays them perfectly.
Never seen this huy before or a reaction like this
Reacting to the feeling in the song not the lyrics
Thank you
There's way more people wanting good for people than there is haters so ignore the hate they will realise when they grow up when they receive hate then they'll regret it ;D
this entire situation feels like we're holding a stick of dynamite with a mile long fuse. We know there is danger, but we think we're safe because we think the fuse isn't lit. but by the time we know it is it's already too late. but there's never just one way the dynamite can explode. the only safe solution is to get rid of it entirely.
I'm not sure if my simile makes sense to anyone else but there you go.
"here I am alone again. Can't get out of this hole I'm in" me too Em
Andy Ellis listen to “Not Afraid”!
You’re not alone, my guy!
We'll are here, that's what make eminem so relatable
@@Miche- facts :(
ive watched over 20 reactions to this video and you sir, made #1 to my reaction list
This was so powerful, especially with everything that is going on in our country right now. I pray to the Lord that things like this do not get any worse.
this is an honest opinion that I respect, honestly.
This is the first reaction of this Song that I’ve watched that seems to hit every single meaning that Eminem was trying to portray
Great reaction man. U described this amazing. Best reaction to this music video. U said and described this the best man.
Just watched your reaction to Tom MacDonald’s new song and now this one. I just subbed. You’re awesome! And crying and showing emotion is healthy. And not caring who sees? That makes you real.
The reason I subscribed was BECAUSE of the abrupt ending. I can 100% relate, and I think that is what this track needs and deserves. There is a whole lot in their to process, to really give a final conclusion. I'm not done yet either. But proud of Em for that track. This will deservedly go down as one of his classics/most important songs.
2:35 I totally missed the 'Curtain Call' reference, Pastor. You blew my mind! Nice catch.
Hey man God bless your soul. I've been listening to eminem since I was a little kid and he has got me through the hardest times. When I came to Christ in 2019 god opened my eyes to finally see what eminem was pointing to. Through out his whole career he has been crying out for help. We need to pray for Marshall. Imagine if he could use his impeccable ability to praise God. Kanye did now Justin Bieber and I know I'm my heart that he will too. Also my cousin was in the Vegas shooting and got shot in the liver and jaw. She's doing very well praise God. And also my little cousin was killed the santa Clarita school shooting in November of 2019. I'm in a Christian dicipleship program and I was laying on the couch when he dropped the album and this was the first song and I just broke down. Everything in life points to Christ. Victory is already made! Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct your paths. I'm 20 and life has just started
Brother the Evidence of the Lord within you is amazing. You weren't even going into the mental battle the gunman was having that spiritual battle trying to get out the dark hollows of ourselves. Your face shows you were able to relate to the struggle. God Bless
I really love this song. It's something people need to see and take in the message
Song is so deep man
I totally feel them tears
this song is referring to that concert where jason aldean was performing and some dude shot the whole place up and then killed himself.
crazy how the entire song has a double meaning. 'You cant murder a show nobody''s at'. Also really well portrayed about the shooter not having a crminal/registered mental issue history and is a licensed owner, and thus: 'sky's the limit, his supply is infinite''. Change the gun laws guys, not the root of the issue but it'd help a little, so also definitely don't forget to put even more focus on attention to mental health problems.
You are a smart dude with kindness in your heart. You will do well in life!
great words, not only from Em, from you too
Just watched this reaction and cried right along with you. It's not a left or right or conservative or liberal or believer or nonbeliever thing, it's a human thing. Thank you for doing you.
Gun REGULATIONS does not mean TAKE AWAY ALL THE GUNS
@Ernaldo shupe easy access to high power, and rapid fire guns needs to be restricted....
It works everywhere else in the civilised world....
Only Americans have this problem
@Ernaldo shupe The faster the bullets, the more people die, by only limiting access to rapid fire would not end shootings but it will significantly decrease the number of deaths. increasing security at the hotel would have easily prevented Las Vegas shooting. You can't bring multiple rifles to an hotel room like that. Ok you're a licensed owner ? Let's get ahold of them and you can get your guns back when you’re leaving. This won't prevent the shooting but at least bullets won't come flying from the sky.. This is just an opinion. Shootings will never stop but number of casualties could at least decrease
@Ernaldo shupe Just tries to learn from the world. Take Switzerland. They have more weapon per person but there's no single shooting. Because people respect guns. they even let their kids learn how to shoot from a gun. I don't know what is holding the USA.Probably, egoism.
@Ernaldo shupe Hi, in my country it is really difficult to get a gun. If you want to, you can get it but you have to go through a lot of controls and stuff. You can never get a rapid fire gun. That is illegal. Just so you know,. we never had a school shooting (Not to jinx it.) We don´t carry guns and we usually don´t have them at our house or disposal. As I said, you are free to get one, but it is not easy. Greetings from the 10th safest country in the world :).
Alison Aizlewood that’s completely false
beautiful analysis and reaction...I've listened to this song so many times and you still picked up on a lot of lines I didn't even notice. gotta sub!! :D
who's sending you hate comments bro!!! you're probably one of the most down to earth people on youtube!! people mannn, i tell yah
Real tlk man
Shit always listen to em and experienced simliar things like em in the past and youth had made me Icecold like really I'm a ICECUBE i don't left a tear for a sec.
This was my first reaction I have heard you do I could tell halfway through we had somethings in common not or same vibes thoughts whatever it may be i enjoyed your reaction you gain another
You got the song bro. You have got all the messages of the songs
I cried with you🙏
Hello darkness my old friend hits me very different. From Simon and Garfunkel. Even caught the piano from the song.
I did not know something so utterly dark and beyond horrific could be beyond such a masterpiece.
Eminem might have not gotten a lot of love for the song.....NOW. But in the future this song will certainly be held as a masterpiece of music.
Of the reactions I have seen of this song.....yours shows the most humanity. It shows your compassion and love. Keep doing you. Haters come and go. You are forever.
i dont wanna be that gut but, everytime he stopped the video and said "oh my gosh" i burst out laughing.
It's you, you're the guy.. lol
@@JordanVillarreal haha lmao never could've see it myself lol great video buddy, keep going dont mind the negative, be you. much love.
The last image of the tv's in the shape of the United States and the image of the flag evokes so many emotions.
He is talking about the incident that happened in Las Vegas. This is what the man that did before he shot up the stage. Research it please.
Dude, id like to just thank you for 'getting' this, ive seen people have this go over there heads and they think em is rapping about him shooting up a crowd...NO! listen properly and watch people, this is DEEP art, its a masterpeice! Its what sets eminem apart from every other rapper, maybe only joyner lucas could do similiar, this is powerful storytelling, hits you right in the heart, i actually feel bad for eminem though cuz hes so good that alot of his stuff people are too lazy to understand so they just jump on it, i fear hes another one that will only truly be appreciated when hes dead and thats so fuckin sad, this is a masterpeice up there with stan!
Jordan "Oh my gosh" Villarreal lol Love you bro
I listened to the song a few times after first hearing it and seeing the music video. After the second or third time, I started realizing the double meaning. I also realized who the shooter in the video was. Stephen Paddock during the 2018 Las Vegas shooting. And, just as it says in the song, he was a licensed ownet with no prior convictions. And he had no clear motive for doing what he did. But his brother pointed out that Stephen was an alcoholic. In the hotel room, there was an arsenal of guns found, the one being used was a modified assault rifle used to fire fully automatic. When the police arrived, he killed himself.
MAD RESPECT
The ending of the video would've been insane if Eminem went out on stage and started signing one of his classic cheerful songs. It would've brought out a whole other emotional side to the video. Suicidal thoughts to immediately changing his mentality to being a cheerful guy for the fans and media.
"people are so busy talking and nothing happens" - you earn a subscribe and like from me i got tears in my eyes to so true!! we need to act more!!!
Jordan could you do Leaving Heaven by Eminem
I did it, and I liked the song, but I'm not willing to post it.
@@JordanVillarreal ok, thanks
jordan Villarreal could you say why?
I understand if you wouldn’t!!
Love your content!
Thank you! LOVE
nice reaction mate liked :) Masterpiece song
mad respect for your reaction
Wow...
this is kind of different reaction ...
Dont engage in the hate bro. Stay up big homie
I love how long the vids are
You have heart. Take care brotha
How come people keep missing the fact the entire song is a sample from Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘Sound of Silence’? That’s a layer so many have missed. There’s no explanation because the shooter kept it silent...
This song is a masterpiece
“Reach for the Scope” Reaches for sniper scope instead of “Scope” mouthwash
You made me realize that their is more to Eminem music then swearing and good rhymes and fast rapping it tells a story and he is trying to tell us something
I listen to this song today too it make me cry too
This video that Eminem posted shows that enyone can kill even if your not popular
No one ever ever heard him literally say “double entendres” after “that’s a lotta shots, huh”
We live in a society that if you're not with them, you're against them. What happened to just respecting opinions and having great conversations?? My podcast will be up soon talking about issues in the world but from different perspectives. At the end, we still love each other, just may no agree on some things. Stay tuned.,,
Send me a message on insta
Great work on breaking down the song but this was golden
"...and half the time it'll go over their heads anyway..."
I see you. 😉😅
agnostic i guess you could call it here - good for you man fuck the haters you do you, cool reaction cheers
