      I just noticed, watching this reaction, Courtney had a really hard time keeping a straight face doing the video. I noticed she had wet streaks on her face before, but I just now noticed the expression, she was trying so hard not to cry on set. poor girl >< I wish i could hug her. I can both hear and see the heartache.

    Courtney's grandmother passed this summer and due to Covid she wasn't able to say goodbye or go to her funeral. She wrote this song (the lyrics, at least) for her as a tribute because her Grandma wanted her to sing a pretty song at her funeral. Constance is the name of the video director's grandmother who is suffering from dementia, so the video concept was HIS tribute to her... and the band named the song for her as well.
    Powerful reaction, brother. I bawled my eyes out for an hour after seeing this one too, and I never cry. Respect. I think this is the first time I've seen your channel, but you more than earned a sub from me.

    Courtney's grandmother passed away this summer and she couldn't travel to sah good bye to her. Also the Director of the video. Dylan of Versa Films.. lost his grandmother.. then theh decided to write the song and created the video..dedicated to their Grandmothers.
    I have cried quite a lot watching this video and reading the comments..and now watching your reaction.. it was emotional.
    Spiritbox and Jinjer are my top favourite bands and they create beautiful music and it reaches a lot of feelings within you.
    Again love the reaction and hoping you are doing well.

    I wanna give you a hug big poppa bear. this song hits very hard for me as well. I remember when I was younger when I finished my day at school I visited my grandparents. my grandfather was a huge man. a very big huge man with a very loud voice but he was the sweetest. he was like the protector of the family. my grandmother was the softer sweeter one. they always made a specific food not many people eat. red beans, mashed potato, meat, unions, shrooms and loads of mayonese. when my grandfather died of cancer the whole family broke apart. my grandmother was completely lost and she developed a way of Alzheimers as well. my parents didn't want me to see her because she was completely broken. I wish I could see her. from there on everything went completely sideways. my parents did things to me no other parent should do. I left the house and never spoke to them again. for that its a weight that fell of my shoulders. and one day I heard that she passed away. family members didn't want me to attend the funeral. because I was an outsider in their eyes. I wasn't the religious fanatic they were. so I missed everything. today I think I'm going to visit the grave and make myself that same food they made me.

    Thank you for your honesty. I lost my grandmother a year ago to dementia and I cannot begin to express how visceral this song is.

    Man...I’m glad I’m not the only one who lost it with this video/song. I was legit sobbing. My grandma doesn’t have dementia she’s battling RA, and she lives in another country so I barely get to see her. It’s tough seeing her degrade, and not be able to walk or use her hands the way she used to. I wish I could be there for her more because I used to see her all the time, but she’s unable to travel now. She’s still all there for the most part, but she used to be so active even in her old age. Seeing the scene of her on the bed and they wrap the blanket around her I just lost control of my emotions. Such a raw song, and the video just perfectly captures it. I enjoyed your video a lot dude. Good reaction.

    Not sure if anyone has shared this but here's an excerpt from an interview with Courtney LaPlante about the song:
    "Due to border shut downs, I was not able to say goodbye to my grandmother Phyllis, to whom the song is in tribute, or attend her funeral. I always promised her that I would sing at her memorial service, because she always requested a 'pretty song with none of that scary screaming.' I hoped writing this song with no 'scary screaming' in it would help me find a sense of closure."
    "Dylan (video director) wrote his video concept to honor his grandmother, Constance to whom the video is in tribute. Our music videos usually have a horror element to them, and we wanted to explore a different side of horror: the horror of feeling like your mind is betraying you, due to a long battle with dementia. With Dylan's permission, we named the song 'Constance' to immortalize her story."

    This is gonna be one of the oddest thank you’s I’ve ever given.
    I had heard that my grandma’s health and memory was deteriorating so I scheduled a trip from Florida back home to Washington state in mid November. Before I could make it home, she fell, broke her back and hips and hit her head which rapidly progressed her Alzheimer’s so she’d have days where she wouldn’t hardly recognize anyone. I video called my dad who was there (my grandparents lived on the same property as us so I get the seeing your grandma almost every day thing) and she recognized me and we told each other that we loved the other. Two days later, about a week before my flight, she passed away so I didn’t get to say goodbye.
    Beginning of this month, while I was home we held her memorial service for family nearby and live streamed it for everyone else...but even there I couldn’t cry. Watching this and seeing you choke up broke the dam and I’m writing this with tear stained cheeks.
    Thank you for uploading this.
    I’m working my way from old to new stuff after finding your channel early this morning, so if you get to it and I just haven’t seen it yet, I apologize, but I think you’d really enjoy Beast in Black. Lead singer has a killer voice and I think the vibe is right up your alley.

    Thanks for uploading. It was a real emotional rollercoaster but so beautiful at the same time. Although your reaction was what got to me the most, emotionally. Nobody in my family have suffered altzheimers, but my grandmother on my mother's side suffered 4 strokes before she died. Every stroke wiping out more and more of her memory. The last few times I visited her before she died, her "present day" was like 50-60 years ago. I remember how hard it was to comprehend for young me back then.

    This one's personal for me too. It's really hard for me to even watch this video. Dementia is truly a curse. To lose someone twice but in slow motion first is something that nobody should have to experience. This video is crushing but also cathartic in a way I haven't felt in a long time. Thank you for uploading this. It's important to know that it's ok to feel and to let your emotions out. Never feel ashamed to cry or show that. As human beings we get to experience the beauty and the joy of life but in turn we deal with grief far too often. It's part of life, but expressing that and letting it out is the most important thing you can do. I'm glad Courtney and Spiritbox made this track and I'm glad it's been able to touch people like you and I, as unfortunate as the circumstances may be.

It hit me right in the heart! I'm 42 and in the last three years have lost 3 grandparents and welcomed the birth of my first child. This song reminded me of every loss that I've had and what I will likely see to come. Such an emotionally HEAVY song, but SO beautiful. I also saw you check out "Rule of Nines" so I'm glad that you got another experience of Spiritbox without the hammer blow of this emotional rollercoaster that we middle-aged folk know all too well!!!

He became a self made man once he was here, going from nothing to a great success... only to have his memory and strength be ripped away by time and dementia. I did not give this band the time of day, but they have earned my respect and gratitude for this song/video that capture that pain so well.

    To be honest, this is such a heavy song, I'd consider it an intermediate Spiritbox song.

    I’m glad you chose to upload this. Somehow RUclips sent you to me and you got a new subscriber. I think this song resonates with everyone one in some way or another. I have seen this so many times and still cry my eyes out every time. Music should make you think, it should make you feel. We often suppress the feelings we can’t bare to face. Sometimes it is good to just be in that hurt and pain for a moment. We shouldn’t feel guilt. I’m sure in your case your grandmother would want you to have done your finals. We can’t change our past but we can allow ourselves to learn from it. We can think who needs us now and make a difference in their life the same way your grandmother made a difference in yours. I’m sorry for your loss but I am grateful you had that wonderful past with such a lovely lady. ❤️

    So I recently started watching your reactions and just now watched this one. This really hit home for me. The last 2 1/2 years my grandparents where alive I spent every day with them, taking caring of them and watching them die was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life. Thank you for being raw and true in your reactions.

    Don't apologize for taking breaks especially for a song like this! Jeez..I've technically seen this and heard this song like 10 times now and it STILL hits as hard as it did when I first heard it! I think it would have been slightly better if you did another song before this one but either way it's an amazing song! Very good reaction as I love seeing the more emotional reactions from people~

    bit late to the show but I just saw this. dude, the fact that you can so openly show your feelings and speak about some real hard subject matter in front of the entire internet, is commendable.
    you've definitely earned my respect... and my subscription.

    I'm gonna be honest. I watched so many reactions to this song, and because I didn't want to cry again, I skipped to the end to see your reaction. I almost started crying anyway 😂

    Courtney and the director of the video both lost their grandmothers at the beginning of the year to Alzheimer’s and couldn’t go to the funerals due to COVID. The director’s grandmother’s name was Constance.

    We honor those we've lost when we shed tears born from our pain of missing them. We keep them alive in our hearts far beyond their physical passing. I've lost both sets of grandparents and my father. Except with my father circumstances prevented my from being with my grandparents as they passed which haunts me with guilt constantly, but I survive because I don't doubt they knew how much I loved them.
    I have been slob crying since I first watched the video. The pain and sorrow it brings is painful but it is also joyous because it reminds my how much I love them and what amazing and beautiful human beings they were. Though it hurts you should feel honored that it hurts to miss them. It means you loved them and they had a major role in making you who you are. There is no shame in feeling this and crying.
    My heart goes out to all of you who this video similarly touched.

    My grandmother also had Alzheimer, and we had to mentally say goodbye to her many years before she was finally set free and past. This song and video really hit home for me , and your honest reaction just amplified that even more.
    I cried along with you.

    This song and the video kick my ass every single time, I have yet to NOT cry watching the video. Thankfully I can keep it together listening to just the song but ooh boy sometimes it gets close. Her voice + the instrumental choices + the imagery are just... too much but in the best way. It was really nice to see someone have such a real reaction to this (painful. but nice) THE most relatable and touching reaction i've seen to this video. Thank you so much for sharing it, and your personal experience, with the world and I hope you have a wonderful day

    Video is for one of their late grandmothers. The story on this video is beautiful and sad. this is one of the lightest songs they have done so far and its still amazing. Spirit box always makes you feel something if its sadness like this or like you have the power to destroy the world. Courtney has a voice of an angel and the screams of the devil. there's a reason they are one of my favorite bands. this song is a great one to start off with but trust that you have not even scratched the surface of this band. loving the videos man keep up the great work

    Thank you for sharing your feelings with us. I'm still quite young (early 20s) and bawled my eyes out with this one. Went for dinner with my Grandpa yesterday (who is thankfully still very full of life). I need to spend a lot more time with him.
    Like many others have said, this was a very unusual song for Spiritbox. The lead singer, Courtney, had hinted that she was singing about a very personal loss. The song they released before this (Holy Roller) was their heaviest one to date. I think the best possible introduction to them is the song Rule of Nines.
    Hope you'll check out more of their songs! They'll make you headbang instead of cry. This band is amazing and I'm so happy with how much they're growing.

    Man, thanks for uploading this.
    It is a fucking hard one. I watched my grandfather die day by day, lost my mother to different situation, but similar end result. Had to hold my grandmother's hand and tell her that her daughter died.
    This song and your story just brings it back.
    But it also brings back the best memories. The ones that matter. The ones where you remember all the love they gave you, and refuse to let those memories fade away.

    The impact increases when you realise that family pictures have been disappearing throughout the video before the furniture and the relatives are gone by the end. And there's also Constance's husband's shadow watching over her during the first pre-chorus at 4:47 and at 5:44.
    It's not just a good song anymore. A video that has great artistry such as this coupled with music written with absolute sincerity makes an entire experience like no other.

    I recently found this music video and I was exactly like you, I feel you so much. My brother and I live with my Granma, she raised us and rescue us from abusive parents and gave us the opportunity to live a better life; she's literally the world for me, she's the reason I believe in love and I became the woman I am, she's the light of my existence. And only thinking of losing her, it kills me, I can't even. I feel so, so sorry for your lose, from the bottom of my heart. I send you all the love, peace and light from Argentina (I'm sorry for any grammatical mistake, my English's not very good)
