Don't apologize for being emotional. The song did exactly what Ronnie wanted it to. We all still here, fighting and persevering. This was a beautiful reaction. My favorite one for this song. Gained a new sub brother!
I like how you’re trying to decide where to take it back to, and everywhere you point the arrow says “most replayed” lmao. The entire song is most replayed
It's INSANE that Ronnie took this song to a WHOLE other level. We all jammed to the original without even realizing how deep the lyrics are. Ronnie has SUCH emotion in his voice and brought this song such depth & with the cinematography and video editing it's just a MASTERPIECE. Bringing people to tears in the BEST possible way
When you said you're not a fan of cover songs, i laughed a lil. I am the same way. I knew you would 100% love this. this took on a life of it's own. It's raw, and beautiful, and stripped away all of the blocks i had built around my heart. This is why in your last video i said we call Ren a unicorn then that makes Ronnie Radke is The Saola. The way his voice rips right through my soul is unlike any other. He's a legend! Welcome to the Ronnie Radke experience. You've got a heart of gold. Love your rawness & the vulnerability you're willing to share with us.
React to Ronnie covering his own song from 2011 The Drug In Me Is You then The Reimagined version 10 yrs later. Same with Im Not A Vampire from 2011 and the revamped version 10 yrs later. Mind-blowing!!!!!
You are basically going to love every song Ronnie has ever remade. They kinda follow this trend, with the classical orchestra sound and insane vocals. Both songs mentioned above sound like completely different songs 10 years later. Matured
Seriously, i have never seen such a honest reaction. Recognize the beauty of the total, instead of all the individual technicals only while still noticing them. Great reaction! Btw i seldomly react, but this felt so deserved. Thank you!
Im not a vampire revamped is just as amazing! The video is as well. I HIGHLY recommend it! Its honestly breathtaking from vocals to the cinematics. Loved this reaction and your willingness to be authentic and raw w how it made u genuinely feel.
Please, please, please do watch the original version of the song (I'm not a vampire) before watching the revamped version, possibly in the same reaction. Also, check out "The drug in me is you" and "The drug in me is reimagined"
thank you for reacting to this. i didn't know i had ever heard of falling in reverse. i went down the rabbit hole after watching your reaction and got all the albums and i've been living in them! there was one song "popular monster" that i remembered. i just didn't know who the artist was. Thank you for introducing me to new music.
So, my husband actually found your channel last week through your Ren reactions; he says you are one of his favorite reactors because you GET the meaning of the songs. He is 62 and doesn't like much music, but loves Ren (he always used to get on me for my Tom McDonald, Adam Calhoun, Dax, and Falling in Reverse....lol). BTW....you are FINE and you WILL be better tomorrow! Ren is a musical unicorn and Ronnie is a musical swiss army knife and I LOVE both of them. What is funny is Ren is a minimalist with his videos; one takes and nothing fancy....just him and the music, and Ronnie is on the other end of the spectrum; his videos look like a high end Hollywood movie, but still he is the music. They are both geniuses in their own right. This version of this song just HITS so much harder. The way they did this puts emotion behind the lyrics and now that we are older with more life experiences, they just connect differently. BTW, their is a video of Ronnie playing the song before it was final mastered for Jacoby from Papa Roach. He was like a nervous little kid!
Great reaction man. Authenticity goes a long way. You might not like covers but that's why this is called a reimagining. If you want to see Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach react to this you are in luck! Jacoby actually asked Ronnie to do the cover and he showed it to him so you get to see him react to it and give his opinion. It isn't the normal RUclips reaction, more like a guy showing his friend a new song. Falling in Reverse has changed over the years. Their sound was much different when they first formed. They looked different too. So much in fact that they remade two of their own songs and it's night and day the difference. Those are called "I'm not a Vampire (ReVamped)" and "The Drug in Me is You (ReImagined)". There are quite a bit of songs that you'll probably like and definitely will like the video. Some suggestions are the trilogy of "Losing my Mind", "Losing my Life", "Drugs", then these others which some are tied together with the videos: "Voices in my Head", "Zombified", "Popular Monster", "Ronald" ft. Tech N9ne & Alex Terrible, "Prequel". Enjoy! If you do them, we will enjoy it too!
I have epilepsy with seizures and this song brings me back to reality. My last MRI I had them play this. They had never heard this song and they were blown away.
Amazing how different it is to the original. Verbatim the same lyrics but the whole atmosphere change, shows how deep the original was but never taken that way. As for his range Ronnie is pretty impressive. His videos are always movie quality as well. Enjoy the next ones!
I would’ve subbed for this one, but I subbed for NF and Ren a couple weeks ago already lol. NF, Ren, and Falling in Reverse are 3 of my top 5 ARTISTS, the other two being Twenty One Pilots and Jon Bellion. Check them out if you’ve never heard them! ARTISTS
Love this reaction! You found your journey in the feeling of the song. The screams at the end there are just as you said earlier not perfect, but THAT is why they hit so hard. They are raw, real, so full of emotion. Looked like you got emotional right at the same point as me. Different journeys for sure, but the raw emotion in this masterpiece trancends that. Great reaction, insightful comments and real feels. First time seeing you. Got chills. Easy follow man!
New follower here, because of FIR. This song literally gives me chills every. Single. Time. Papa roach reached our inner child, while Ronnie reached our adult version of our inner child ❤
He made this into a classic. He is still in the band "Falling in Reverse". He is just solo in the video. You know, it's your channel, you react to what the hell you want. I hate that people can get nasty just cause your reacting to a different type music that they listen to. If they don't like it, they can just go watch something else!! Jeeezzz!! This does get you emotional.
11:44 Finally someone who understands how damn good and unique it is when he goes down to the low notes. Most have to show how high notes they can take all the time. But Ronnie runs the entire register, and the lower part is so beautiful so I get chilla from my neck down to my toes and my brain is tickling etc...
Amazing honest display of emotion by you my man 👏👏🙏 Ronnie is elite at pouring all his feelings into his performances. You are not the only one to cry watching this video, and immersing yourself into the lyrics and his incredible delivery. Bravo mate 👏 FIR - 🔥 All the way from Aus 🇦🇺 👍
Before I even see this, I just want to say I strongly disagree with ppl giving sh.. in comments. I'm not religious at all, but watched your previous reaction to them and I liked your input, your itchiness on this subject and all other comments. We watch reactions. As far as I feel that includes every aspect. I love FiR and Ronnie is fricking genius. Hugs from Sweden.
Man, I have never heard anyone else say the things I feel before. I agree... I resonate with everything you said, both about not trusting the word of the ones who brought you religion and the song. This is by far my favorite reaction to this song! Real! Thank you.
Another one like this is The Drug in Me is Reimagined. Worth checking out the The drug in me is you (the original, and honestly probably not your thing) which is from when we were younger and a few styles of his ago. He has changed styles alot since then and it's crazy how different they are.
I second this! Drug In Me Is You is my favorite FIR song from the good ole emo days. And the new version is really good actually. Its cool to see a more mature version of the song since im a (what I would like to think) more mature adult now.
Great reaction! My favorite thing about Ronnie is his honesty and vulnerability and the way his voice shows his emotions. My second favorite thing is his versatility. I'm an atheist, maybe agnostic at times and I totally think life is easier for people who believe in a God. Unfortunately I can't. Please check out a video in which Ronnie playes the unmixed version of this song to Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach) for the first time. It's very interesting.
Popular monster next please!!! And if you do some research on Ronnie, the context of religion in his songs along with the mental health struggles he talks about will make sense and resonate. Looking fwd to your FIR journey!!! Moving and meaningful reaction. Many comments related the papa roach version to what we need in our younger years, and this version as what we needed as healing adults…..
I used to bust moves to the Papa Roach version of this track on night out... i dont think i ever really heard the lyrics properly, but hearing them sung in this way hits SO differently... it makes me cry too... never apologise for letting yourself be authentic and feel your feelings, its important to do so and to show others its normal too... You are a beautiful soul I really enjoy seeing your reactions and knowing there are more empathetic people out there. I really wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug! This is what music is supposed to be... something that tests your mind, gives you strength, understanding and reaches your soul... x
Bro... Don't be embarrassed about this song getting to you. First time I heard it, i broke down. Even cursed Ronnie for making me get so far into my feels... Ronnie is so freaking talented, it should be illegal!
There’s a cover that falling in reverse had done in 2014. Some people liked it and some didn’t. Which comes with doing covers. Falling in reverse did a cover of Gangster paradise. Coolio’s daughter was/is a fan of FiR. Coolio actually said that their cover was his favorite. He preformed it with Ronnie before he passed. Now a little back story on Ronnie. He’s from Las Vegas. Grew up on the streets. His mom abandoned him, so his addict father raised him. So basically Ronnie was raised by the streets. Got arrested in 2006 for bringing brass knuckles to a fight. Where his friend shot and killed an 18 yr old kid. Then again in 2008 for violating his parole from that 2006 incident. He was in a band called Escape the fate where they kicked him out. He then started falling in reverse while in prison. Also all of Ronnie’s covers (even if he covers on of his own songs) are his own rendition. Completely redo the song but usually keep the main melody
Such a great and honest review. I recently started hearing Falling in Reverse and I love his voice. Can’t stop hearing him. His videos are truly amazing as well.
Nah man. No need to apologize. This song meant a LOT to me in its original form. This one brought SO much of it back. We keep pushing forward through it all. I hope you do.
This right here is the Reaction expected. Papa Roach was so thrilled when FIR and Ronnie Reimagined his song… Welcome to the FIR and Ronnie experience… 😊Blessings 🙏
I can relate so much. I listened to the papa roach version as a teen struggling with mental health and self harm. It helped me vent those feelings instead of continuing to hurt myself. I struggled with religion my whole life and I believed in god but didn’t always understand why bad stuff happened if he was there. I also went and lived in a facility for psychiatric patients but it was a rehab so they adjusted medication and had you do a job like farm, horticulture, house cleaning and working the kitchen. Also classes on tools to help you cope. I did attempt suicide a few time and am so happy I wasn’t successful because life is hard but I’m so loved and supported. I recently reached out to a college friend asking about the Bible and it just so happened that she was starting to do a zoom women’s bible study. I have never felt so close to god before also so many women joined that we are continuing as a women’s ministry, and are going to do another study starting in November.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've watched this video dozens of times, and I cry every single time - including this one. Don't know if you'll see this, but I really miss your NF reactions - I subscribed on an NF video, because I greatly appreciate your insights on his music.
the original song was epic even though I didn't know English well and therefore its true meaning, but after more than 20 years I can say that this version showed everyone the depth of the lyrics
Was able to take my daughter to see them live for the second time about a month ago, Ronnie is his own genre, people hate, but he is real, he doesn’t hold back or sugar coat, definitely go down the rabbit hole, I have been a fan of his since back in the Escape The Fate Days. I have a few clips on my page of last two concerts we went to, also my daughter is 8 now and a total metalhead 😂🤷🏻♂️
I’m with you on this. As someone who attempted to end it all, whenever I listen to this I am taken back to that 17 year old who was battling the darkness in her. Love your reaction!
As someone said in the videos comments. This is the sadness we feel as adults dealing with similar situations we did as pissed off teens the original version is the teenage anger and pain we felt. This version is the sadness we feel with the crippling weight of the adult world crumbling around us
This gave me the same feeling i got when i heard Kasey Chambers version of Em's Lose yourself. Wait!!😮Has he reacted to that yet???🤔 If not, he MUST!!! If he did, I'm going to watch rn!!😊
God Bless, I think you understand why people love Falling In Reverse. This was my first FIR song I heard and it hit me hard too. Basically the album he dropped is all about falling apart inside, losing yourself, fighting your demons and with Last resort in the end he rebuilds himself (aka the world he burned is just a metaphor for himself’ and he reverses the damage he did in Watch The World Burn. Can’t wait for you to watch Popular Monster, Ronald and Prequel along with all the other great songs.
If you like his opera voice and video style, you must watch “I’m not a Vampire, Revamped” maybe you can do a double feature reaction watch his original I’m Not a Vampire, then his revamped version. 😊 I think you’ll really enjoy it. It’s like a movie.
So if you all think of it. The original was the voice of a teenager who was mad at the world around them. This cover is that same teen grown up asking for help from those around them.
It’s an incredible song first of all. The difference in the delivery, Papa Roach version loud and fast and very angsty. FIR version is like deep sadness and powerful emotion. This is an incredible cover!!!
The Drug in Me is Reimagined is a reimagined song Ronnie did where the original song was his own song off the first Falling in Reverse album. You should react to them both. You will see the journey that Ronnie has taken to get where he is now.
I'm sobbing here with you brother. I'm turning 30 in two hours, and my mind is racing with everything I've done or not done in my life. Everything that's made me whatever I am today. But we'll keep pushing, for as long as it takes. God bless you.
I don't tend to read many comments these days, so I dont know what was stated in your Watch The World Burn reaction. I have read plenty and am aware of how some fans come at reactors. Especially Ronnie fans. Let me disclose I adore Ronnie and am a massive fan. I also know some Ronnie/FIR fans get extra defensive because he is both massively misunderstood and he doesnt fold to others' beliefs and is unapologetically himself which rubs some people the wrong way. I find it refreshing. K, now that that's out of the way...I did not see anything offensive with your reaction. Not one bit. You were respectful to his/their artistry whilst being your authentic self. You asked questions and stated many times that you didnt know. Also, youre allowed to be shocked or uncomfortable with things. I was religious in my youth and all this shiz that I now understand and am very comfortable with wouldve made me shit my pants. You respect others beliefs and mature, open minded people will easily see that. Lastly, I am sorry to hear of your struggles. Thank you for opening up and sharing all that. His rendition is gorgeous. I hope you continue to dive into Falling In Reverse. Ronnie is immensely talented and innovative. Much love to you and your fam. ❤
I went through a horrific trauma, I thought about just ending it to get rid of the pain, I heard this song on the radio, then watched the video, I sobbed like a baby, this started my journey falling in love with Ronnies music, I am doing fine now ( most of the time)
Jacoby (Papa Roach) asked Ronnie to do this. It took about two years to complete. Jacoby in this interview said he originally hand the infamous guitar riff as a piano. It's a really cool interview on how this reimagoned version came to life.
14:45 I cant say about any body else, but you are hitting it, EXACTLY correct. I cannot "trust" upon what someone else feels or believes. I feel that morals are instilled within, & it is our job to explore life. Experiences thru trials & tribulations, joys & sorrows, are the building blocks of ones true being. There are teachers, & books to guide, however reading a book, or attending a class doesn't give experience. It is how you learn & grow from those experiences that will ultimately complete you, imo.
Man, awesome reaction. Don't know you but I love you! keep going, faith journey, relationship with God, it's tough but can also be so easy, it's crazy. Love it man.
i feel like the buildings represent his slowly-degrading mentality. like they slowly crumble and fall apart, kinda like when you feel when you're in such a bad spot that your mental health goes worse gradually. great reaction btw, could really feel how you relate to the lyrics and the song
Whether you love or hate Ronnie, you must admit he is a true artist. Talented and so much range. Great reaction man! Hoping for the best for you going forward.
Ronnie definitely makes the words more meaningful doesn't he.. 😉 Yeh it kinda blew me away first time I saw this 🤯.. I'm a hippy rock chick.. And wasn't really into Rap.. Until I got into Ren 😊 sometimes you just need an artist to open your eyes up to a new world.. Educating yourself in the unknown might seem strange or weird but it's fun.. No harm in learning new stuff hey...and you never know if you don't try you never will enjoy something new 😜.. Beautiful Reaction sure Ronnie will love it.. He sometimes watches reactors to his songs. Also some people need to remember they don't own you it's your channel and you can do what ever tickles ya fancy.. 👀 To a degree 😂 just enjoy yourself and if people don't like it they don't have to watch we all have a choice.. Take care ❤✌️
I’m a Stan, a Renegade but I’m also a fan of the person and music of Falling in Reverse. He is always cinematic. Ronnie has talent, he knows who he is, he’s not uncaring, he’s professional, dedicated and he can deliver an emotional message. Don’t underestimate him as a person or a musician.
Songs are digested differently by different people, and even differently by the same person in different points in their lives. This reaction brought me to subscribe. You said something that is important: I got through it. Ronnie does a great job bringing emotions out in people. This song, and the second part of Prequel make me tear up... They touch the damage in me. Be strong.
There are two reactions by Papa roaches Shaddix to this. He actually made the suggestion to Ronnie, though it took a while for Ronnie to know what he wanted to do. When they are listening to the rough cut, you can hear Ronnie saying that he would love Shaddix to do the second vocals of 'I can't go on this way', and I think that is his voice in the cover. But I haven't ever heard someone else consider it.
I needed this in 2013 when my Mom committed suicide. My faith was really tested after I almost lost my mind and life. I love your reactions and emotions ❤
My condolences 💐 thank you for saving your self and realizing that you are worthy of life! Thank you for fighting. Thank you for being strong 💪🏾 then you for watching and commenting. N sharing your story. God bless you
Dont feel bad at all. I'm 40 and I remember the original. I'm also an athiest (like Ronnie) but this song is way more healing than the original. We as humans all go through it. That's why, no matter what religion, what beliefs, we have to be there for eachother. We are all human. Humanity would be way better without all the hate. Just be good people.
You should react to their own reimagined songs! "The Drug In Me Is You", "The Drug In Me Is Reimagined", "I'm Not A Vampire", and "I'm Not A Vampire Reimagined". Fun fact about the revamped version, Saraya is the lady in the video and she is his partner in life. Whenever you see a little girl in their videos, that is Ronnie's daughter, Willow.
I love this video because it is like acknowledging the problem, speaking it out and realizing something has to change and then it helps you find God and then healing and rebuilding your life with God's help. So good!!!
Papa roach version is all of us growing up being young and anxiety and we felt like nothing could touch us Ronnie's version is us now full of regrets and trying to make mends for our actions
Ronnie is a genius...you can see a RUclips where he introduced his version to Jacoby/Papa Roach. I was fortunate enough to meet Ronnie, super cool dude. Coming Home is an older but emotional song to me.
I get what you mean when you say you don’t like covers… I am sceptical about them as well especially when I love the original. I don’t actually think of this one as a cover though, it is more like a sequel. The original was characterised by high energy and rage, this song took the same words but instead portrayed profound sadness but also peace and hope. Like the calm that follows the storm, there is no rage left to vent. It is an incredibly powerful concept. Like him or loathe him, Ronnie is an incredibly gifted musician and artist. He also has an incredibly talented team behind him with Falling in Reverse. Every band member brings something to the table and you are never sure what kind of curve ball they will throw at you next. It keeps things interesting imo 😂.
For these, I would suggest doing the old version then the new one in the same video but you do you! falling in reverse - the drug in me is you and the drug in me is reimagined Falling in reverse - I'm not a vampire and I'm not a vampire revamped 🥰🥰
The trilogy, I’m not a vampire, or the drug in me is you( reimagined) should be next. Also voices in my head, Ronald, and popular monster are all bangers.
Ronnie is a GOAT, he is his own genre, you can't pigeon hole this kind of talent into what anyone else is doing or has done, ever. Loved the reaction, NEVER apologize for emotions, music is meant to move you, be it emotionally, spiritually, or otherwise. Found your channel with this reaction, but went back and started with "Watch the World Burn". I truly hope to see a few more reactor staples on your channel, ignore the haters, they're just going to hate, regardless of what you do. Hint for reactor staples, I'm part of the Nightwish Army, Arizona Division 🇺🇲🌵. Deep lyrics, outstanding musicians, and songs that can bring joy, pain, sorrow, or any other emotion for that matter... Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken (pronounced Vahkin) is where most start, hope to see your reactions soon!
One of my theories with watch the world burn and the church scene. Maybe it goes back to EXACTLY what you said In this video. These people are liars and thieves. So he’s searching for God but finding these people who manipulate others. So he uses his rage to remove them
Ronnie and Ren are alot alike! Ronnie has a label that lets him do Whatever he wants! Thats HUGH in the industry, and Super Rare!!! So hes basically independent like Ren! Im Wishing for the day they Collab myself!
Have you heard of Sleep Token? They are anonymous and last album is called Take Me Back to Eden. I highly recommend checking out the title track which is called Take Me Back to Eden. I’m a Christian and I interpret these songs personally with a Christian theme, even though they may mean something else to another person. The drummer in the band has said that some of his influences are Christian drummers, such as Eric Moore. If you like this song, you’ll love Sleep Token
Ronnie reimagines his OWN songs. He's multifaceted in a way that I've never heard from a musician before. He can do it all. Metal, Punk, Rock, Rap, Opera, Country, like I don't know what he can't do. I love all the new stuff and the old. I don't think there's been a song yet from him that I didn't like and that's saying a lot. Like his latest album, I've heard several reactors say that there are no skip songs. It's absolutely true. Every single song on the album is amazing and they are all freaking different. Also, there is a watch order for the videos even. This video is meant to come after Watch the World burn. He's telling a story with the album and his videos. Welcome to the rabbit hole. OH! yeah, you want to be really impressed Watch the World Burn LIVE. It's out there, find it. You won't be disappointed. Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach did react to it. There's a video of Ronnie playing it for him. He's atheist but there's a story behind that too... his dad is in a Christian biker gang... addict.. not a good parent.. Side note on religion so if you wanna skip it go right ahead. I'm an atheist as well, so I get it. For me growing up in the church seeing people like your deacons and shit being hypocrites. My own uncle a deacon of my church, my aunt, his wife, doing terrible things to my very ill grandparents then eventually my mom and by extension me when they died. I've said this to my mom, and I'll share it here as well. IF there is a god and a heaven etc. humans do not deserve redemption. If we go by the teachings anyone, evil horrible people, can simply ask for forgiveness and you'll have rapists and murderers waiting for you in heaven. Like what is that? Nah, I don't want that kind of saving. I'm good. I hope there's nothing at the end because what's promised is broken. I feel your pain though I do. I feel it too. Personally, I can't follow that path. Doesn't work for me. I've got good, wonderful people that get nothing but the worst out of life. No matter what they do or how hard they try. My daughter for one. She's the most kind, loving, understanding person I've ever known. You know what she gets for that? Six eye surgeries from age 3-6, a father who leaves her and never once checks on her again while raising his son, a life of poverty, epilepsy, 5 freaking brain surgeries from age 20-23. Then finally what she got just Thursday 10/3/24, a broken fucking jaw, front tooth knocked out, teeth and jaw wired up, 18 hours in 2 different hospitals. You know what kills me? She's just as happy and sweet and optimistic. Every single second someone like her gets hurt, abused, killed, whatever. I can't believe in a god/gods/greater being that not only allows that but makes it happen according to religion(s).

Don't apologize for being emotional. The song did exactly what Ronnie wanted it to. We all still here, fighting and persevering. This was a beautiful reaction. My favorite one for this song. Gained a new sub brother!
It was real..and we are all there with you.
you can actually see Papa Roach react to this
Yup, and that reaction hits like a truck just as much as the song and music video.
ruclips.net/video/BnTDlaXxRrE/видео.html You're Welcome
I like how you’re trying to decide where to take it back to, and everywhere you point the arrow says “most replayed” lmao. The entire song is most replayed
Yea He Loved it
I loved seeing Jacoby react to it, and how nervous Ronnie was to see his reaction.
It's INSANE that Ronnie took this song to a WHOLE other level. We all jammed to the original without even realizing how deep the lyrics are. Ronnie has SUCH emotion in his voice and brought this song such depth & with the cinematography and video editing it's just a MASTERPIECE. Bringing people to tears in the BEST possible way
Papa Roach's version is for when we were angry teens, Falling in Reverses is for when you are an adult and processing everything differently
Yes i agree100% papa roach was a banger, but we never knew how dark this song was until Ronnie said hold my beer.
When you said you're not a fan of cover songs, i laughed a lil. I am the same way. I knew you would 100% love this. this took on a life of it's own. It's raw, and beautiful, and stripped away all of the blocks i had built around my heart. This is why in your last video i said we call Ren a unicorn then that makes Ronnie Radke is The Saola. The way his voice rips right through my soul is unlike any other. He's a legend! Welcome to the Ronnie Radke experience.
You've got a heart of gold. Love your rawness & the vulnerability you're willing to share with us.
Nothing makes me more emotional than seeing a man cry
I agree
React to Ronnie covering his own song from 2011 The Drug In Me Is You then The Reimagined version 10 yrs later. Same with Im Not A Vampire from 2011 and the revamped version 10 yrs later. Mind-blowing!!!!!
You are basically going to love every song Ronnie has ever remade. They kinda follow this trend, with the classical orchestra sound and insane vocals. Both songs mentioned above sound like completely different songs 10 years later. Matured
I agree with this. The difference in the two remade songs and the original is amazing to experience for the first time
I second this
Such a beautiful and genuine reaction. Absolutely love to watch you "feel" the music instead of just hearing the music. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Seriously, i have never seen such a honest reaction. Recognize the beauty of the total, instead of all the individual technicals only while still noticing them. Great reaction! Btw i seldomly react, but this felt so deserved. Thank you!
Im not a vampire revamped is just as amazing! The video is as well. I HIGHLY recommend it! Its honestly breathtaking from vocals to the cinematics. Loved this reaction and your willingness to be authentic and raw w how it made u genuinely feel.
100% agree!
Please, please, please do watch the original version of the song (I'm not a vampire) before watching the revamped version, possibly in the same reaction. Also, check out "The drug in me is you" and "The drug in me is reimagined"
Yes!!
For the side that's going to look out for all of us Americans in this country struggling just trying to make it
Such a painfully beautiful piece…
As a fellow Christian from a broken road I couldn’t agree with you more❣️
Prayers for a speedy recovery my friend🙏🏻
thank you for reacting to this. i didn't know i had ever heard of falling in reverse. i went down the rabbit hole after watching your reaction and got all the albums and i've been living in them! there was one song "popular monster" that i remembered. i just didn't know who the artist was. Thank you for introducing me to new music.
that right there is amaZing..the power of reaction channels
So, my husband actually found your channel last week through your Ren reactions; he says you are one of his favorite reactors because you GET the meaning of the songs. He is 62 and doesn't like much music, but loves Ren (he always used to get on me for my Tom McDonald, Adam Calhoun, Dax, and Falling in Reverse....lol). BTW....you are FINE and you WILL be better tomorrow!
Ren is a musical unicorn and Ronnie is a musical swiss army knife and I LOVE both of them. What is funny is Ren is a minimalist with his videos; one takes and nothing fancy....just him and the music, and Ronnie is on the other end of the spectrum; his videos look like a high end Hollywood movie, but still he is the music. They are both geniuses in their own right.
This version of this song just HITS so much harder. The way they did this puts emotion behind the lyrics and now that we are older with more life experiences, they just connect differently.
BTW, their is a video of Ronnie playing the song before it was final mastered for Jacoby from Papa Roach. He was like a nervous little kid!
wow ..thank you for sharing and tell your husband I love him for telling that!! lol he motivated!
Ronnie unburned the world with this song it is one of the most beautiful voices ever. So amazing
Great reaction man. Authenticity goes a long way. You might not like covers but that's why this is called a reimagining. If you want to see Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach react to this you are in luck! Jacoby actually asked Ronnie to do the cover and he showed it to him so you get to see him react to it and give his opinion. It isn't the normal RUclips reaction, more like a guy showing his friend a new song. Falling in Reverse has changed over the years. Their sound was much different when they first formed. They looked different too. So much in fact that they remade two of their own songs and it's night and day the difference. Those are called "I'm not a Vampire (ReVamped)" and "The Drug in Me is You (ReImagined)". There are quite a bit of songs that you'll probably like and definitely will like the video. Some suggestions are the trilogy of "Losing my Mind", "Losing my Life", "Drugs", then these others which some are tied together with the videos: "Voices in my Head", "Zombified", "Popular Monster", "Ronald" ft. Tech N9ne & Alex Terrible, "Prequel". Enjoy! If you do them, we will enjoy it too!
I have epilepsy with seizures and this song brings me back to reality. My last MRI I had them play this. They had never heard this song and they were blown away.
People can say whatever they want about Ronnie, but in terms of music skills he's really something :D
Although this is another cover it is another example of a band owning it. Check out Disturbed "The Sound Of Silence" 03/28/16 on Conan.
Yes! Another spectacular cover. I agree, the conan live version is the best
I saw them live singing this song. I and thousands sobbed the whole way through.
Amazing how different it is to the original. Verbatim the same lyrics but the whole atmosphere change, shows how deep the original was but never taken that way. As for his range Ronnie is pretty impressive. His videos are always movie quality as well. Enjoy the next ones!
This is by far my favorite reaction video that I’ve ever watched somebody do! And I’ve done a lot! You just gained a new subscriber. Much love.♥️
I would’ve subbed for this one, but I subbed for NF and Ren a couple weeks ago already lol. NF, Ren, and Falling in Reverse are 3 of my top 5 ARTISTS, the other two being Twenty One Pilots and Jon Bellion. Check them out if you’ve never heard them! ARTISTS
Reading his latest comment update and than watching this reaction almost makes me cry😨. Prayers up for this man right now get well brother
So many of us can relate to Ronnie's heart breaking vocals. Love the reaction, thank you.
Love this reaction! You found your journey in the feeling of the song. The screams at the end there are just as you said earlier not perfect, but THAT is why they hit so hard. They are raw, real, so full of emotion. Looked like you got emotional right at the same point as me. Different journeys for sure, but the raw emotion in this masterpiece trancends that.
Great reaction, insightful comments and real feels.
First time seeing you. Got chills. Easy follow man!
New follower here, because of FIR. This song literally gives me chills every. Single. Time. Papa roach reached our inner child, while Ronnie reached our adult version of our inner child ❤
He made this into a classic. He is still in the band "Falling in Reverse". He is just solo in the video. You know, it's your channel, you react to what the hell you want. I hate that people can get nasty just cause your reacting to a different type music that they listen to. If they don't like it, they can just go watch something else!! Jeeezzz!! This does get you emotional.
As a none native speaker, I fully understood the lyrics with age and this rendition and it had me crying aswell. Cheers from Germany 🤘
Wow, thank you!
I'm glad I ran across your channel. I like finding people who really feel the emotion of not just the lyrics of a song but the heart of the artist.
11:44 Finally someone who understands how damn good and unique it is when he goes down to the low notes.
Most have to show how high notes they can take all the time. But Ronnie runs the entire register, and the lower part is so beautiful so I get chilla from my neck down to my toes and my brain is tickling etc...
Amazing honest display of emotion by you my man 👏👏🙏
Ronnie is elite at pouring all his feelings into his performances.
You are not the only one to cry watching this video, and immersing yourself into the lyrics and his incredible delivery.
Bravo mate 👏
FIR - 🔥
All the way from Aus 🇦🇺 👍
Before I even see this, I just want to say I strongly disagree with ppl giving sh.. in comments. I'm not religious at all, but watched your previous reaction to them and I liked your input, your itchiness on this subject and all other comments. We watch reactions. As far as I feel that includes every aspect. I love FiR and Ronnie is fricking genius. Hugs from Sweden.
Man, I have never heard anyone else say the things I feel before. I agree... I resonate with everything you said, both about not trusting the word of the ones who brought you religion and the song. This is by far my favorite reaction to this song! Real! Thank you.
Another one like this is The Drug in Me is Reimagined. Worth checking out the The drug in me is you (the original, and honestly probably not your thing) which is from when we were younger and a few styles of his ago. He has changed styles alot since then and it's crazy how different they are.
I second this! Drug In Me Is You is my favorite FIR song from the good ole emo days. And the new version is really good actually. Its cool to see a more mature version of the song since im a (what I would like to think) more mature adult now.
Thank You for Sharing Your Feelings. It Means A lot .
Great reaction! My favorite thing about Ronnie is his honesty and vulnerability and the way his voice shows his emotions. My second favorite thing is his versatility.
I'm an atheist, maybe agnostic at times and I totally think life is easier for people who believe in a God. Unfortunately I can't.
Please check out a video in which Ronnie playes the unmixed version of this song to Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach) for the first time. It's very interesting.
This is what’s left of the world after watch the world burn
Popular monster next please!!! And if you do some research on Ronnie, the context of religion in his songs along with the mental health struggles he talks about will make sense and resonate. Looking fwd to your FIR journey!!! Moving and meaningful reaction. Many comments related the papa roach version to what we need in our younger years, and this version as what we needed as healing adults…..
I used to bust moves to the Papa Roach version of this track on night out... i dont think i ever really heard the lyrics properly, but hearing them sung in this way hits SO differently... it makes me cry too... never apologise for letting yourself be authentic and feel your feelings, its important to do so and to show others its normal too... You are a beautiful soul I really enjoy seeing your reactions and knowing there are more empathetic people out there. I really wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug!
This is what music is supposed to be... something that tests your mind, gives you strength, understanding and reaches your soul... x
You said it all ! Thank you for your choice of beautiful words! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts and commentary. Love ❤️
yeah i never realized how strong emtionaly this song was till i heard this version and i broke down like you he has a way to make you feel that pain
Ronnie took thee lyrics and gave them all new meaning almost, it's amazing!!!!!
Bro... Don't be embarrassed about this song getting to you. First time I heard it, i broke down. Even cursed Ronnie for making me get so far into my feels... Ronnie is so freaking talented, it should be illegal!
There’s a cover that falling in reverse had done in 2014. Some people liked it and some didn’t. Which comes with doing covers. Falling in reverse did a cover of Gangster paradise.
Coolio’s daughter was/is a fan of FiR. Coolio actually said that their cover was his favorite. He preformed it with Ronnie before he passed.
Now a little back story on Ronnie. He’s from Las Vegas. Grew up on the streets. His mom abandoned him, so his addict father raised him. So basically Ronnie was raised by the streets. Got arrested in 2006 for bringing brass knuckles to a fight. Where his friend shot and killed an 18 yr old kid. Then again in 2008 for violating his parole from that 2006 incident. He was in a band called Escape the fate where they kicked him out. He then started falling in reverse while in prison.
Also all of Ronnie’s covers (even if he covers on of his own songs) are his own rendition. Completely redo the song but usually keep the main melody
Such a great and honest review. I recently started hearing Falling in Reverse and I love his voice. Can’t stop hearing him. His videos are truly amazing as well.
Nah man. No need to apologize. This song meant a LOT to me in its original form. This one brought SO much of it back.
We keep pushing forward through it all. I hope you do.
This right here is the Reaction expected. Papa Roach was so thrilled when FIR and Ronnie Reimagined his song…
Welcome to the FIR and Ronnie experience… 😊Blessings 🙏
I can relate so much. I listened to the papa roach version as a teen struggling with mental health and self harm. It helped me vent those feelings instead of continuing to hurt myself. I struggled with religion my whole life and I believed in god but didn’t always understand why bad stuff happened if he was there. I also went and lived in a facility for psychiatric patients but it was a rehab so they adjusted medication and had you do a job like farm, horticulture, house cleaning and working the kitchen. Also classes on tools to help you cope. I did attempt suicide a few time and am so happy I wasn’t successful because life is hard but I’m so loved and supported. I recently reached out to a college friend asking about the Bible and it just so happened that she was starting to do a zoom women’s bible study. I have never felt so close to god before also so many women joined that we are continuing as a women’s ministry, and are going to do another study starting in November.
Ronnie actually meets with Papa roach and plays his version for him it's awesome. Look it up, dude.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 I've watched this video dozens of times, and I cry every single time - including this one.
Don't know if you'll see this, but I really miss your NF reactions - I subscribed on an NF video, because I greatly appreciate your insights on his music.
Wow, thank you... n NF is making a comeback don't worry!
@@GoatWorthy_ Thank you!! Super excited ☺️
@@GoatWorthy_yes sir 💯
the original song was epic even though I didn't know English well and therefore its true meaning, but after more than 20 years I can say that this version showed everyone the depth of the lyrics
Was able to take my daughter to see them live for the second time about a month ago, Ronnie is his own genre, people hate, but he is real, he doesn’t hold back or sugar coat, definitely go down the rabbit hole, I have been a fan of his since back in the Escape The Fate Days. I have a few clips on my page of last two concerts we went to, also my daughter is 8 now and a total metalhead 😂🤷🏻♂️
I’m with you on this. As someone who attempted to end it all, whenever I listen to this I am taken back to that 17 year old who was battling the darkness in her. Love your reaction!
I'm glad you're still here! ❤
@@mom2knj73 thank you for fighting and thank you for winning!! I’m happy you’re here
As someone said in the videos comments. This is the sadness we feel as adults dealing with similar situations we did as pissed off teens the original version is the teenage anger and pain we felt. This version is the sadness we feel with the crippling weight of the adult world crumbling around us
This gave me the same feeling i got when i heard Kasey Chambers version of Em's Lose yourself. Wait!!😮Has he reacted to that yet???🤔 If not, he MUST!!! If he did, I'm going to watch rn!!😊
God Bless, I think you understand why people love Falling In Reverse. This was my first FIR song I heard and it hit me hard too.
Basically the album he dropped is all about falling apart inside, losing yourself, fighting your demons and with Last resort in the end he rebuilds himself (aka the world he burned is just a metaphor for himself’ and he reverses the damage he did in Watch The World Burn.
Can’t wait for you to watch Popular Monster, Ronald and Prequel along with all the other great songs.
If you like his opera voice and video style, you must watch “I’m not a Vampire, Revamped” maybe you can do a double feature reaction watch his original I’m Not a Vampire, then his revamped version. 😊 I think you’ll really enjoy it. It’s like a movie.
Definitely watch the original first
Holy moly
Linkin Park one more light still tears me up every time I watch it
So if you all think of it. The original was the voice of a teenager who was mad at the world around them. This cover is that same teen grown up asking for help from those around them.
Thank you for your realness -hugs-
It’s an incredible song first of all. The difference in the delivery, Papa Roach version loud and fast and very angsty. FIR version is like deep sadness and powerful emotion. This is an incredible cover!!!
The Drug in Me is Reimagined is a reimagined song Ronnie did where the original song was his own song off the first Falling in Reverse album. You should react to them both. You will see the journey that Ronnie has taken to get where he is now.
I'm sobbing here with you brother. I'm turning 30 in two hours, and my mind is racing with everything I've done or not done in my life. Everything that's made me whatever I am today. But we'll keep pushing, for as long as it takes. God bless you.
THATS THE SPIRIT!
I don't tend to read many comments these days, so I dont know what was stated in your Watch The World Burn reaction. I have read plenty and am aware of how some fans come at reactors. Especially Ronnie fans. Let me disclose I adore Ronnie and am a massive fan. I also know some Ronnie/FIR fans get extra defensive because he is both massively misunderstood and he doesnt fold to others' beliefs and is unapologetically himself which rubs some people the wrong way. I find it refreshing.
K, now that that's out of the way...I did not see anything offensive with your reaction. Not one bit. You were respectful to his/their artistry whilst being your authentic self. You asked questions and stated many times that you didnt know. Also, youre allowed to be shocked or uncomfortable with things. I was religious in my youth and all this shiz that I now understand and am very comfortable with wouldve made me shit my pants.
You respect others beliefs and mature, open minded people will easily see that.
Lastly, I am sorry to hear of your struggles. Thank you for opening up and sharing all that. His rendition is gorgeous. I hope you continue to dive into Falling In Reverse. Ronnie is immensely talented and innovative.
Much love to you and your fam. ❤
I went through a horrific trauma, I thought about just ending it to get rid of the pain, I heard this song on the radio, then watched the video, I sobbed like a baby, this started my journey falling in love with Ronnies music, I am doing fine now ( most of the time)
Your about to go down the Falling In Reverse rabbit hole and your gonna love it
Jacoby (Papa Roach) asked Ronnie to do this. It took about two years to complete. Jacoby in this interview said he originally hand the infamous guitar riff as a piano. It's a really cool interview on how this reimagoned version came to life.
The power of music....
Also think of it this way… the original sounds like teenage angst. Ronnie’s sounds like a very tired worn down adult. That’s how I saw both songs
I haven’t even watched your reaction yet but I’m subbing because I think you’re great! ❤
14:45 I cant say about any body else, but you are hitting it, EXACTLY correct. I cannot "trust" upon what someone else feels or believes. I feel that morals are instilled within, & it is our job to explore life. Experiences thru trials & tribulations, joys & sorrows, are the building blocks of ones true being. There are teachers, & books to guide, however reading a book, or attending a class doesn't give experience. It is how you learn & grow from those experiences that will ultimately complete you, imo.
Man, awesome reaction. Don't know you but I love you! keep going, faith journey, relationship with God, it's tough but can also be so easy, it's crazy. Love it man.
Love you too bro!! Haha 🤣 God is great..all the time
@GoatWorthy_yes sir you said it best., I love how authentic your reactions are.
I’m not a vampire original and revamped, The drug in me original and reimagined.
i feel like the buildings represent his slowly-degrading mentality. like they slowly crumble and fall apart, kinda like when you feel when you're in such a bad spot that your mental health goes worse gradually.
great reaction btw, could really feel how you relate to the lyrics and the song
I just want to hug you 😭. What a sincere reaction ❤️
There are a lot of haters towards Ronnie. This man is a genius and so so talented in many ways.
Your reaction is raw and beautiful!
Thank you so much!!
Ask, and you shall receive. There is a video out there of Pops Roach reacting to this song with Ronnie. I highly suggest watching that.
Ronnie makes everything better. Love Papa Roach, love the original. This is on another level.
Whether you love or hate Ronnie, you must admit he is a true artist. Talented and so much range. Great reaction man! Hoping for the best for you going forward.
Ronnie definitely makes the words more meaningful doesn't he.. 😉 Yeh it kinda blew me away first time I saw this 🤯.. I'm a hippy rock chick.. And wasn't really into Rap.. Until I got into Ren 😊 sometimes you just need an artist to open your eyes up to a new world.. Educating yourself in the unknown might seem strange or weird but it's fun.. No harm in learning new stuff hey...and you never know if you don't try you never will enjoy something new 😜.. Beautiful Reaction sure Ronnie will love it.. He sometimes watches reactors to his songs. Also some people need to remember they don't own you it's your channel and you can do what ever tickles ya fancy.. 👀 To a degree 😂 just enjoy yourself and if people don't like it they don't have to watch we all have a choice.. Take care ❤✌️
I’m a Stan, a Renegade but I’m also a fan of the person and music of Falling in Reverse. He is always cinematic. Ronnie has talent, he knows who he is, he’s not uncaring, he’s professional, dedicated and he can deliver an emotional message. Don’t underestimate him as a person or a musician.
Songs are digested differently by different people, and even differently by the same person in different points in their lives. This reaction brought me to subscribe. You said something that is important: I got through it. Ronnie does a great job bringing emotions out in people. This song, and the second part of Prequel make me tear up... They touch the damage in me. Be strong.
There are two reactions by Papa roaches Shaddix to this. He actually made the suggestion to Ronnie, though it took a while for Ronnie to know what he wanted to do. When they are listening to the rough cut, you can hear Ronnie saying that he would love Shaddix to do the second vocals of 'I can't go on this way', and I think that is his voice in the cover. But I haven't ever heard someone else consider it.
He is friends with papa roach, and The lead singer of Papa Roach loved this version.
You just be you thats why you are one of the best on here. You wont please everyone. If you figure that out you will be the only one.
I needed this in 2013 when my Mom committed suicide. My faith was really tested after I almost lost my mind and life. I love your reactions and emotions ❤
My condolences 💐 thank you for saving your self and realizing that you are worthy of life! Thank you for fighting. Thank you for being strong 💪🏾 then you for watching and commenting. N sharing your story. God bless you
Dont feel bad at all. I'm 40 and I remember the original. I'm also an athiest (like Ronnie) but this song is way more healing than the original. We as humans all go through it. That's why, no matter what religion, what beliefs, we have to be there for eachother. We are all human. Humanity would be way better without all the hate. Just be good people.
You are an amazing reactor and I'm so here for this rabbit hole!!
No matter what song you listen to of Ronnie’s, it always sends you on a journey.
You should react to their own reimagined songs! "The Drug In Me Is You", "The Drug In Me Is Reimagined", "I'm Not A Vampire", and "I'm Not A Vampire Reimagined". Fun fact about the revamped version, Saraya is the lady in the video and she is his partner in life. Whenever you see a little girl in their videos, that is Ronnie's daughter, Willow.
Funny how many people (myself included) truly listened to the lyrics for the first time in this cover...
I love this video because it is like acknowledging the problem, speaking it out and realizing something has to change and then it helps you find God and then healing and rebuilding your life with God's help. So good!!!
Papa roach version is all of us growing up being young and anxiety and we felt like nothing could touch us Ronnie's version is us now full of regrets and trying to make mends for our actions
Ronnie is a genius...you can see a RUclips where he introduced his version to Jacoby/Papa Roach. I was fortunate enough to meet Ronnie, super cool dude. Coming Home is an older but emotional song to me.
I get what you mean when you say you don’t like covers… I am sceptical about them as well especially when I love the original. I don’t actually think of this one as a cover though, it is more like a sequel. The original was characterised by high energy and rage, this song took the same words but instead portrayed profound sadness but also peace and hope. Like the calm that follows the storm, there is no rage left to vent. It is an incredibly powerful concept. Like him or loathe him, Ronnie is an incredibly gifted musician and artist. He also has an incredibly talented team behind him with Falling in Reverse. Every band member brings something to the table and you are never sure what kind of curve ball they will throw at you next. It keeps things interesting imo 😂.
Ronnie also has some reimagined/revamped versions of 2 of his old pop punk songs too that are fucking INCREDIBLE!
For these, I would suggest doing the old version then the new one in the same video but you do you!
falling in reverse - the drug in me is you and the drug in me is reimagined
Falling in reverse - I'm not a vampire and I'm not a vampire revamped
🥰🥰
The trilogy, I’m not a vampire, or the drug in me is you( reimagined) should be next. Also voices in my head, Ronald, and popular monster are all bangers.
Ronnie is a GOAT, he is his own genre, you can't pigeon hole this kind of talent into what anyone else is doing or has done, ever. Loved the reaction, NEVER apologize for emotions, music is meant to move you, be it emotionally, spiritually, or otherwise. Found your channel with this reaction, but went back and started with "Watch the World Burn". I truly hope to see a few more reactor staples on your channel, ignore the haters, they're just going to hate, regardless of what you do.
Hint for reactor staples, I'm part of the Nightwish Army, Arizona Division 🇺🇲🌵. Deep lyrics, outstanding musicians, and songs that can bring joy, pain, sorrow, or any other emotion for that matter...
Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken (pronounced Vahkin) is where most start, hope to see your reactions soon!
One of my theories with watch the world burn and the church scene. Maybe it goes back to EXACTLY what you said In this video. These people are liars and thieves. So he’s searching for God but finding these people who manipulate others. So he uses his rage to remove them
exactly. n I don't blame him for it...finding nothing but questions n devils
Fair play to you man. We need more men normalizing tears.
Really enjoying your analysis of FiR's vids!
Ronnie and Ren are alot alike! Ronnie has a label that lets him do Whatever he wants! Thats HUGH in the industry, and Super Rare!!!
So hes basically independent like Ren!
Im Wishing for the day they Collab myself!
Have you heard of Sleep Token? They are anonymous and last album is called Take Me Back to Eden. I highly recommend checking out the title track which is called Take Me Back to Eden. I’m a Christian and I interpret these songs personally with a Christian theme, even though they may mean something else to another person. The drummer in the band has said that some of his influences are Christian drummers, such as Eric Moore. If you like this song, you’ll love Sleep Token
Ronnie reimagines his OWN songs. He's multifaceted in a way that I've never heard from a musician before. He can do it all. Metal, Punk, Rock, Rap, Opera, Country, like I don't know what he can't do. I love all the new stuff and the old. I don't think there's been a song yet from him that I didn't like and that's saying a lot. Like his latest album, I've heard several reactors say that there are no skip songs. It's absolutely true. Every single song on the album is amazing and they are all freaking different.
Also, there is a watch order for the videos even. This video is meant to come after Watch the World burn. He's telling a story with the album and his videos. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
OH! yeah, you want to be really impressed Watch the World Burn LIVE. It's out there, find it. You won't be disappointed.
Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach did react to it. There's a video of Ronnie playing it for him.
He's atheist but there's a story behind that too... his dad is in a Christian biker gang... addict.. not a good parent..
Side note on religion so if you wanna skip it go right ahead.
I'm an atheist as well, so I get it. For me growing up in the church seeing people like your deacons and shit being hypocrites. My own uncle a deacon of my church, my aunt, his wife, doing terrible things to my very ill grandparents then eventually my mom and by extension me when they died. I've said this to my mom, and I'll share it here as well. IF there is a god and a heaven etc. humans do not deserve redemption. If we go by the teachings anyone, evil horrible people, can simply ask for forgiveness and you'll have rapists and murderers waiting for you in heaven. Like what is that? Nah, I don't want that kind of saving. I'm good. I hope there's nothing at the end because what's promised is broken.
I feel your pain though I do. I feel it too. Personally, I can't follow that path. Doesn't work for me. I've got good, wonderful people that get nothing but the worst out of life. No matter what they do or how hard they try. My daughter for one. She's the most kind, loving, understanding person I've ever known. You know what she gets for that? Six eye surgeries from age 3-6, a father who leaves her and never once checks on her again while raising his son, a life of poverty, epilepsy, 5 freaking brain surgeries from age 20-23. Then finally what she got just Thursday 10/3/24, a broken fucking jaw, front tooth knocked out, teeth and jaw wired up, 18 hours in 2 different hospitals. You know what kills me? She's just as happy and sweet and optimistic. Every single second someone like her gets hurt, abused, killed, whatever. I can't believe in a god/gods/greater being that not only allows that but makes it happen according to religion(s).
