      Trent Michael or you can be so out of touch with your feelings like yourself, you don’t understand true emotion. Feeling strong and being strong are two separate things. Something only a strong person understands.

    • @sberinghaus
      @sberinghaus 5 лет назад +9

      Trent Michael that’s your belief. And that’s ok. Doesn’t make it true. Like the old adage goes, you never know how strong a person is until they have no other choice. And that’s not Day to day shit, that’s real shot, death of a child, spouse, or divorce, real things. When you go through shit like that and have no fall back you learn how strong you are. If you have then, you understand it, Until then, your opinion is that, yours.

    • @sberinghaus
      @sberinghaus 5 лет назад +2

      Trent Michael “you’re young” and you are talking about presuming to adults. I don’t need clarification because your arguments are baseless and void of substance. What are you 30, 35, 40 and think you have it figured out? And you are preaching about running with assumptions when you ran with one that is so far off you have no clue. You’re clueless bro.

      I'm so sorry about that. It sucks to lose a family member, especially your child. This song makes me think about my grandmother who passed away when I was 9,5 years ago. Here I am, turning 15 in a few months and I still live with guilt from it. My mother even blamed me for her death which she now regrets but yeah. This song makes me think of my grandmother and I'm happy about it.

    I've listened to KSE since 2000 and as of right now--we have had the pleasure of 3 studio albums by both Jesse & Howard. Saying which one is better is a silly argument for they both brought something entirely different to the table. Jesse is known for his deep lyrical content and brought a more aggressive/hardcore style that comes through in his songs. Howard for me was the melodic, catchy and 'radio hit' lead who broadened their sound (as well as fanbase). Not to say Jesse does not write catchy songs (Beyond The Flames might be my all-time favorite KSE track) but I personally have had great joy in hearing this band grow and mature with each album.

    • @handicapitation3250

      @carlos slater, I am truly sorry for your loss! I was widowed to suicide in 1996! And nope, still grieving, no time limit that I'm aware of. Lost my 3 kids in a nasty ass custody battle in 1989, Dad died @ age 45 in 1978 & then, {for me, perhaps} the coup de gras of losing my best friend & older brother in 2013. I listened to FFDP The Way of the Fist for a solid year after Stu died, so yes, music is so very powerful!
      There is a song called "Don't Turn Away" by Robin George that is not metal, not really sure what pigeon hole to stuff it into, but I do encourage you & anyone else grieving to give it a listen. Peace & Blessings. 🌹✌☮🤘💨

    Hey Alex, first and foremost, I've gotta say that you are by far my favorite person to watch when it comes to reaction videos. I love watching your reactions to bands that I love and listen to myself.
    Secondly, this particular song, along with others, has a very poignant message that our loved ones whom have passed, never truly leave us and one day, we will all meet again.
    I personally lost both my Dad and my Mum at a very early time in my childhood. I was only 9 when my Dad passed away and I was 12 when my Mum passed in a tragic set of circumstances. Growing up with such immense loss was never easy and many years later, the emotional and mental scars still remain.
    Music has always been an escape for me, particularly in the ever changing landscape and sub genres of hard rock and heavy metal.
    Keep rocking. Chris

But I missed out on so much, from what I can recall he was a good man, he took care of me, he stepped up to the plate and made sure I was good... I was his world.

    This song has a powerful message, and one I listened to countless times after my father chose to end his life in front of me. Depression can be a burden, and one that is impossible to carry for some. I have often wondered what my last words were, and just hope dad knew I loved him. I understood he wanted to have some power in his own destiny as cancer was slowly taking his life, and I learned that the gift of the here and now with those you love should be cherished, which is why this very moment is called the present. It is a gift

  • @pocologo975

    Oh my god! That is CRAZY ...
    I love this song since i've first listened to it back when it came out. It is one of my favourite songs by KsE. I always knew that it was about the loss of a loved one, but i always thought it was about a wife or girlfriend. I was to lazy to look it up.
    So it has to happen that a hip-hop head youtuber that i've followed for a long long time explained me that this awesome song is about the loss of a mother.
    Now i love this song even more, because my mom passed away 7 years ago.
    I'm not realy a religious person but i hope i'll see her again.
    The line: "I mourn for those who never knew you" is so fitting... My girlfriend (we are a couple for four years now) never had the chance to meet my mom. That makes me sad sometimes.
    I've listend to this song a thousend times or even more but now it's like a complete new song.
    I Love Howard Jones. He is one of metal most gifted vocalist.
    So you really have to Check out his new Band [L] Light the torch. The Song "The Safety of disbelief" is an absolutle beauty.

    Always been a fan of whatever project Howard is involved with whether it was KSE or currently Light The Torch. This is a relevant song for me as someone very closed to me passed away four years ago of last week. She was a beautiful woman with mental health issues and even while battling her own demons, she was a powerful advocate for those who were dealing with similar issues. Always reaching out to help and tried to reach out when she needed it. The whole time building a website with resources to help us all who are going through some shit (emotionally abusive relationship). So, my heart goes out to anyone dealing with loss or struggling with their own mental health. Don't be embarrassed. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Don't be too proud to reach out. Even if it's just to talk or to get professional help or both.

    Since you've already listened to a couple of Lamb of God songs, let me suggest Leprous for the letter L. Amazing prog metal band from Norway. That way you can also dip your toes in prog, which I think you haven't done yet, because you owe us after not choosing Dream Theater or Devin Townsend for the letter D. So here are some prog suggestions:
    L - Leprous, Liquid Tension Experiment
    M - Mastodon, Meshuggah (You need to revisit both. You will like The Motherload)
    N - Ne Obliviscaris
    O - Opeth
    P - Periphery, Pain of Salvation, Porcupine Tree, Plini, Persephone, Paul Gilbert
    Q - Queensrÿche
    R - Rush (not metal, but f*cking awesome)
    S - Steve Vai, Symphony X
    T - Tool (MORE SONGS!), Tesseract, THE Devin Townsend Band :P
    V - Vai, Steve (he's so good I need to include him twice).
    Y - Yngwie Malmsteen
    Take your pick! ;)
