I’m telling you, you HAVE to listen to Gone With the Wind by Architects. It was written by their former lead guitarist, the late Tom Searle, after he came to the realization that he was going to die from his cancer diagnosis. It is one of the most angst-ridden and emotionally filled metalcore songs of all time and the vocals by Sam on the track are his best IMO.
Architects are seriously top tier. Now that you have done songs from their 2 most recent works, you should check out either Naysayer or Gone with the wind to really see how their sound has progressed since their heavier days. (Also memento mori if you want to cry)
This video footage was taken from their livestream show at the Royal Albert Hall, which was unbelievably good. Hopefully they'll release the whole thing at some point in the future
More Architects to react to: 1. Doomsday (both versions) 2. Momento Mori 3. Hollow Crown 4. Even if you win, you’re still a rat 5. The entire album ‘All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us’
Yeah react to both and honestly those two songs should be one episode starting with gone with the wind THEN doomsday after as the story is so tragic and musically moving especially given the back story of the passing of one of their fellow band mates. Please, you can truly feel musically and lyrically the pain associated with the topics they sing about. Have the lyrics pulled up at the time too. It’ll help especially given the aggressive vocal on the track.
Dude, when you can listen to a song for the first time and play the melody the way you do on your keyboard brings chills and tears! I could listen all day to you covering songs like these the way you played at the end of this video! Keep Em Coming!!!
I just want to let you know that you inspired me to pick up and instrument for the first time since I was a kid. I went and bought a used keyboard for like $30 on Craigslist. I have been practicing for an hour everyday for 2 weeks. It has brought me such joy and appreciation for what musicians do.
For real as a guitarist I am always jealous of the way pianists just flow & seem to have very natural feel to their instrument. The chord change down & then away it goes...was very lovely stuff.
I love your reaction to this, and I love that clear inspiration at the end with the piano. Its amazing how much you can learn about music you love from someone who maybe isn't a fan, but finds the beauty. :) I love how you break these things down.
I love how much David understands the nuances of what make metal today so great. I still maintain that metal has everything anyone could possibly want in music. These are the “classic composers” of our day.
Architects are fantastic. Been one of my favorites for a long time, glad you're enjoying them. Would love to see some Sleep Token reactions (Jaws, The Night Does Not Belong To God, Dark Signs...hell, ANY of their songs). Enjoy the videos!
The Royal Albert Hall really is a magical place, and this song fits right into it the same way Bring Me The Horizon's live performance did at the same place.
I’m loving your videos, you help me look at music from another perspective, you really appreciate every aspect of the music. I’m happy you’re enjoying the new hard rock/metal being put out. Keep it up broheem. Much love 🤘🤘🤘🤘
To answer two of your questions, it was filmed at the Royal Albert Hall and the drummer is Dan Searle. Great video man. I love how you analyse and deconstruct these songs I love.
Your guy's content just gets better and better! For another amazingly composed song I have to recommend Aviations // Outliers, several of their members went to Berkeley to study music
I'll make an entire playlist of Music Shed channel for me to rewatch with some of my friends. I love the reactions especially, when you start playing your keyboard. really nice.
I love your videos!! I love the analysis of momentum peaks and valleys etc you make throughout, I totally agree that music should take you somewhere and make you feel elevated
this song made me SOB on first listen and every single time i listen i get a little emotional. i wish i could listen to this song for the first time again
The piano interpretation at 10:39 is just WOW! I ALWAYS watch your videos until the end and hope to hear your INCREDIBLE piano parts that give me goosebombs. It's really really inspiring to me. Keep going!!!
If you're still looking to expand your search to some other bands, there are a few I could suggest that I think you would find to be very interesting to listen to. The top three in a similar vein to Architects would be: STARSET - (I would start with their song called "Manifest.") Celldweller - (I would start with their song called "New Elysium.") IMMINENCE - (I would start with their song called "Infectious.")
You are the man. I wish I had a music teacher like you growing up! I’d love to see you react to Beartooths “Devastation” or really any Beartooth! Caleb Shomo is one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever seen. Cheers, brother!
Man I’m happy this channel. You are aloooot more fun and funnier to listen to then a lot of the other reactors. (Not to bash them in anyway) but I like how you know your stuff but also have fun with it. As a viewer it’s way more fun to listen to. Subbed!!!
Man that piano shred at the end was absolutely amazing. Awesome analysis! Edit: I actually watched that piano shred like 10 times. I definitely felt it.
Man I love these You gotta check out Ne Obliviscaris. "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" was used as a teaching example at Sydney conservatoire as an example of masterful composition.
Doomsday and Hereafter are excellent tracks by Architects that I seriously suggest you react to as well. Doomsday is the last song that Tom Searle got to work on with them before his passing and the majority was written by his twin brother Dan (the drummer). Doomsday is about Tom dying way too young. Hereafter, also written by Dan, is about finally trying to come to terms with Tom’s death and wondering how to move on “hereafter.” It might be my favorite Architects song because of the structure of the song and all of the musical elements within it. The emotion, the angst, and the beauty of these songs is NEXT LEVEL.
I’d love to see you covering more artists like this! Like Counterparts! I’ve seen em live probably 25 times, they’re a great group of guys. Counterparts was supposed to tour with Architects the year that Tom Searle passed, so it was understandably (and unfortunately) cancelled.
I'm a little late to seeing this video and a little late to finding this song. Seeing your reaction be so genuine and the fact that you were so moved by the song, that it made you play something so beautiful at the end made me instantly subscribe to you. Please keep up the good work and if you're looking for another beautiful, yet heavy recommendation, I STRONGLY urge you to review "Three Fountains" by August Burns Red. That song is full of raw emotion and I hope and think it would have same effect on you. Thank you for being one of the people who show what music is all about and continuing to inspire others, such as myself, on our musical journeys. Peace and love brother!
Really interesting you picked out the drummer! Dan who is the drummer took over lead songwriting for the band after Tom Searle, his twin brother and guitarist for Architects sadly died from skin cancer in 2016. Now you say it, it would make sense why the song parts are built around the drums; the other major writer is Josh Middleton, guitarist, who joined after Tom’s death. Have watched all your Architects videos as a fan, amazing that you can just pick out the chords and melody and transfer it to piano immediately. Very (jealously) impressed. And yes, Sam is an excellent singer 😁
You should def check out "Killswitch Engage" and/or "Light the Torch" with Howard Jones on vocals. Amazing singer, great melodies. The End of Heartache, Rose of Sharyn, My Curse, etc.
I would love if you reacted to any of Starset's songs! My favorite is into the unknown but if you want something more recent I liked diving bell (bc I'm obsessed with its ending lol)
Okay, now I HAVE to see you react to Karnivool! Karnivool - New Day is a MASTERPIECE of a music journey from beginning to end. I think you will have one hell of a time breaking down that song
Please react to "gone with the wind" by them. Incredibly emotional song. Tom (brother of the drummer) got diagnosed with skin cancer and he wrote this song along with the album knowing he was going to die. And this song is pretty much how he dealt with it. Love this band so much. RIP Tom.
Check out Architects "hollow crown" Everytime I listen to it I'm so impressed it's mostly high hat, some side snare drum and some bass drum for half the fucking song. To stay that steady and gentle on drums with some keyboard low in the background and singing, I mean, you can't fuck it up, you have to be solid. Overall amazing and impressive band. And they tear at our heart strings because a lot of their music was written by a man facing death for years. Every song gets me right in the fucking feels thinking about that dude. RIP Tom..
Have spent some time here by watching your reactions to heavy songs. The feelings you show are so sincere and the piano improvisation at the end of the video are very inspiring (even enough to drop some tears ;) almost like I had to listen to the song 1st time again. Btw, their song "Black lungs" is also very cool, so you can check it out. Music rhythm and overall dynamics are so strong as you are at their concert. As you said in some BMTH reaction video "what else than music can have such uniting moments for the crowd?" It would be nice to see your reactions to the following bands, you might like, too. Easy to mention 5+ songs for each, but will leave at least 1 here: - A Day to Remember - Turn off the Radio; - Starset - Ricochet; - Crown the Empire - Johnny Ringo (there's a kind of a song trilogy starting this story); - Of Mice and Men - Back to Me; - Red - Darkest Part; - Dead by April - I Can't Breathe
This song makes me cry every time, and when u went mad on the piano. Tears. If you want another pure emotion like this one I'd recommend Demon King by Brand Of Sacrifice. They're only a small band so not many people will request them, but I seriously think you should check them out
Petition for David to react to "These Colour's Don't Run" as the next Architects track for the throwback/system shock 😂 Not to mention he'll get to witness some of Sam Carters poetic/poignant lyrics via the lyric video that comes with.
Glad I found your channel! Very entertaining for sure. Check out a band called Nothing More, incredibly versatile band, some good reviews would be This is the time, Fade in/Fade Out, If I were, Who we Are. Some other incredible bands you might like are Wage War, Palisades, and While She Sleeps
I’m telling you, you HAVE to listen to Gone With the Wind by Architects.

It is one of the most angst-ridden and emotionally filled metalcore songs of all time and the vocals by Sam on the track are his best IMO.
This and followed with their song Doomsday
@@iamafrenziedgremlin and then hereafter after that. Those songs all in a row tell one of the saddest stories in music history in such a profound way.
That’s a good last name
@Ethan Landry wow, I tried this and it didn't work
Stop spam
Going for Gone with the Wind instead of Memento Mori?
Architects are seriously top tier.
Now that you have done songs from their 2 most recent works, you should check out either Naysayer or Gone with the wind to really see how their sound has progressed since their heavier days. (Also memento mori if you want to cry)
I'd love Deathwish too
The whole "All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us" album is worth checking out :)
you say you want him to hear how they progressed but you dont mention ruin or hollow crown, suspicious
@@sarcasm4371 that shit is awesome too
@@drumtard that and Holy Hell are my favorite albums of all time
Please do a reaction to Silence speaks by While she sleeps. Oli Sykes from Bring me the horizon is in it.
Yes. Do it. While she sleeps is completely self made, their own label, makes them that much better
This video footage was taken from their livestream show at the Royal Albert Hall, which was unbelievably good.
Hopefully they'll release the whole thing at some point in the future
You can already buy the whole show
@@Reinonen Really? Where from? I watched it when it was streamed but thought it was only available for a certain amount of days.
More Architects to react to:
1. Doomsday (both versions)
2. Momento Mori
3. Hollow Crown
4. Even if you win, you’re still a rat
5. The entire album ‘All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us’
I double Momento Mori, crazy song
And I need to comment one more thing: I LOVE when you get inspired by the song and let it dominates you, it's gorgeous!
It is!!!
You reaaaaaalllly need to do gone with the wind AND doomsday. Both not either
Yeah react to both and honestly those two songs should be one episode starting with gone with the wind THEN doomsday after as the story is so tragic and musically moving especially given the back story of the passing of one of their fellow band mates. Please, you can truly feel musically and lyrically the pain associated with the topics they sing about. Have the lyrics pulled up at the time too.

these belong to my favourite architects songs, yes please!

Jordan, good for you! You made my day brother.
Ooh! If you liked this, you’d love Bad Omens’ latest album. Also, thanks for the food ASMR to start the video, followed by some insane piano skills!
That entire album is so good! Such a versatile band as well. Agree on David probably loving Careful what you wish for
10:45-11:45 should definitely be expanded into a full song. I would pay so much money for that sheet music. That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
I love when the reaction song inspires you to go balls out on the keyboard. Let's get some Sleep Token on the channel!
god PLEASE get some sleep token on here
Yes! The offering or Higher!
@@ShaneDizzin 100% higher, maybe blood sport though? That's the problem with ST, too many good songs to choose from
😂
Thank you for reacting to this amazing piece of music! And thank you for the speed concert at the end :) Listening to you play soothes my soul.
as a trumpet player in another life time the horn line in the chorus speaks to me on a spiritual level.
I'd like to see you react to "Wasted Hymn" from Architects as well :)
gosh i love ur videos, its so nice to see a person with such a passion to music
I love music so much. It has saved my life.
@@MusicShed Mine too i can say. Thats what music does saving people from cruel world
10:45 that was so beautiful
For real as a guitarist I am always jealous of the way pianists just flow & seem to have very natural feel to their instrument. The chord change down & then away it goes...was very lovely stuff.
I would really like to hear what you think of Two Way Mirror by Loathe
Yesss
Oooh I haven’t thought of that one. Good song. I get a very Deftones feel from it.
This!
Fuck yeeaaaaaah! Howie, get on that shit
Yes
I love your reaction to this, and I love that clear inspiration at the end with the piano. Its amazing how much you can learn about music you love from someone who maybe isn't a fan, but finds the beauty. :) I love how you break these things down.

Moar architects lets goooo
Check their stuff from the All Our Gods album and Lost Forever // Lost Together
Architects are fantastic. Been one of my favorites for a long time, glad you're enjoying them. Would love to see some Sleep Token reactions (Jaws, The Night Does Not Belong To God, Dark Signs...hell, ANY of their songs). Enjoy the videos!
HOLLYYYY when he breaks it down with the keyboard
You should react to "Another Life" by Motionless In White
The Royal Albert Hall really is a magical place, and this song fits right into it the same way Bring Me The Horizon's live performance did at the same place.
finally, I found the forma
We all are waiting for the new series: Music Teacher REACTS TO Morning Breakfasts, do it!
Thank you for reacting! It's probably already my song of the year
DEFINITELY putting this on my playlist. great video as always, David! :)
What the hell was this part...10:40 to 11:45 what a beautiful improvisation blood hell - Goosebumps mode: on! Cheers from Brasil Teacher!
David is a true musical talent. In awe of how good his ear is and how quickly he can learn a song and transfer it to piano. Bravo
I honestly prefer these kinds of reaction videos by far! The insight into the pure musical aspects is really cool and interesting.
I really enjoy how he enjoys all the reactions and music, that's a real musician and teacher🔥 regards from Venezuela!
Please react to System of a Down - Question!
It seems like your videos are growing more chaotic as time passes and I'm all here for it! Great reaction as always!
Finally David! I’ve been waiting for this! 🤘🏻
I could listen to you jam these songs out on your keyboard for hours mannnnnnn love it
I’m loving your videos, you help me look at music from another perspective, you really appreciate every aspect of the music. I’m happy you’re enjoying the new hard rock/metal being put out. Keep it up broheem. Much love 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love this song! Architects are one of my favourite bands, super excited for the new album!
To answer two of your questions, it was filmed at the Royal Albert Hall and the drummer is Dan Searle. Great video man. I love how you analyse and deconstruct these songs I love.
Your guy's content just gets better and better! For another amazingly composed song I have to recommend Aviations // Outliers, several of their members went to Berkeley to study music
Loved your improvisational piano playing at the end!
I really love when metal meets orchestral! Such an epic and powerful combination. Huge love for this band, cannot wait for their new album to drop!
I'll make an entire playlist of Music Shed channel for me to rewatch with some of my friends. I love the reactions especially, when you start playing your keyboard. really nice.
I need a piano cover of this song right now thanks
Architects are an absolute faveeeee, your reactions and explanations are fricking amazing 😍
You must check out While She Sleeps, particularly NERVOUS!
Subbed. Couldn't resist. Love the outro bits at the end when you play with the tune.
best reaction channel on youtube! thank you!
I love your videos!!
I love the analysis of momentum peaks and valleys etc you make throughout, I totally agree that music should take you somewhere and make you feel elevated
I can listen to you all day long playing the piano, I've got goosebumbs, love it!!
this song made me SOB on first listen and every single time i listen i get a little emotional. i wish i could listen to this song for the first time again
Thanks for doing what you do David. This was awesome
The piano interpretation at 10:39 is just WOW! I ALWAYS watch your videos until the end and hope to hear your INCREDIBLE piano parts that give me goosebombs. It's really really inspiring to me. Keep going!!!

Absolutely love this band and this song... it's so powerful! ♥️ its definitely different from their older stuff, but I love it so much!!
This song is fire! Your piano playing afterwards was great too. Love this video
This is awesome you listened to this. While She Sleeps - You Are All You Need should be next
Two way mirror by Loathe please!
You would really enjoy the uniqueness in sound of Palisades - Let Down. The singer is phenomenal and their instrumental is extremely unique!
Love all your videos!
You need to react to some dayseeker, like crooked soul would be my favorite. Please!
You are the man. I wish I had a music teacher like you growing up! I’d love to see you react to Beartooths “Devastation” or really any Beartooth! Caleb Shomo is one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever seen. Cheers, brother!
First time seeing your channel; i like the review.
10:30 beautiful!
Aaaaand now you can react to IMMINENCE - INFECTIOUS, or not if you really want me commenting under every single video
Yes! I Love imminence! Paralyzed or erase would be great picks too! their new album is so 🔥
Literally just discovered imminence yesterday and HOLY SHIT theyre goddamn amazing... Turn The Light On is a phenomenal album
Anything Imminence would make me so happy
Imminence is great. I’d rather see paralyzed tho but all great songs
Man I’m happy this channel. You are aloooot more fun and funnier to listen to then a lot of the other reactors. (Not to bash them in anyway) but I like how you know your stuff but also have fun with it. As a viewer it’s way more fun to listen to.

You gotta check out Ne Obliviscaris. "And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope" was used as a teaching example at Sydney conservatoire as an example of masterful composition.
You should check out some ERRA - Divisionary or Snowblood!
This is great! Subscribed!
Dave, you would absolutely love Sleep Token. Highly recommend their single "Jaws"
yes please!!!! Sleep Token are phenomenal
I’ve suggested the offering on a few of his videos
@@A_kings_castle I hope he'll do it!
YES
Jaws, The Offering or Higher.
You’re awesome!

Awesome and informative reaction .
Okay, now I HAVE to see you react to Karnivool!
Karnivool - New Day is a MASTERPIECE of a music journey from beginning to end.
I think you will have one hell of a time breaking down that song
LISTEN TO DEATH IS NOT DEFEAT - ARCHITECTS
Architects has so many amazing songs, you would absolutely adore the Doomsday piano reprise, as well as the original!
YOU ARE ALL YOU NEED - While she Sleeps
do room 138 by asking Alexandria, it has a story behind it that brings the emotion out of it and shows the singer, Danny, brings to the song!
Please react to "gone with the wind" by them. Incredibly emotional song. Tom (brother of the drummer) got diagnosed with skin cancer and he wrote this song along with the album knowing he was going to die. And this song is pretty much how he dealt with it. Love this band so much. RIP Tom.
Check out Architects "hollow crown" Everytime I listen to it I'm so impressed it's mostly high hat, some side snare drum and some bass drum for half the fucking song. To stay that steady and gentle on drums with some keyboard low in the background and singing, I mean, you can't fuck it up, you have to be solid. Overall amazing and impressive band. And they tear at our heart strings because a lot of their music was written by a man facing death for years. Every song gets me right in the fucking feels thinking about that dude. RIP Tom..
You should look up what they call "architects tuning" for their guitars.
It's such a weird tuning, but I love the sound it gives.
This will probably get drowned in the comments but please react to LOATHE - WHITE HOT.
You should react to starset! Every song feels like a journey^^
Have spent some time here by watching your reactions to heavy songs. The feelings you show are so sincere and the piano improvisation at the end of the video are very inspiring (even enough to drop some tears ;) almost like I had to listen to the song 1st time again. Btw, their song "Black lungs" is also very cool, so you can check it out.
Music rhythm and overall dynamics are so strong as you are at their concert. As you said in some BMTH reaction video "what else than music can have such uniting moments for the crowd?"
It would be nice to see your reactions to the following bands, you might like, too. Easy to mention 5+ songs for each, but will leave at least 1 here:
- A Day to Remember - Turn off the Radio;
- Starset - Ricochet;
- Crown the Empire - Johnny Ringo (there's a kind of a song trilogy starting this story);
- Of Mice and Men - Back to Me;
- Red - Darkest Part;
- Dead by April - I Can't Breathe
This song makes me cry every time, and when u went mad on the piano. Tears. If you want another pure emotion like this one I'd recommend Demon King by Brand Of Sacrifice. They're only a small band so not many people will request them, but I seriously think you should check them out
The intro was great lmao
10:38 Subbed. Very nice.
Should also do Meteor by Architects too. Such a class band
I'd love to see a reaction to Captives, either their song Glass Heart or Signs
You should check out Affiance! They are incredibly talented and I KNOW you'd love them.
Petition for David to react to "These Colour's Don't Run" as the next Architects track for the throwback/system shock 😂 Not to mention he'll get to witness some of Sam Carters poetic/poignant lyrics via the lyric video that comes with.
