I was 18 when I deployed and had this happen. I was 23 when I met Garrett and got to share my story. Instead of seeking counseling, I was afraid to admit that I had taken a life. I talked to Garrett as a mentor and friend, but he asked if he could write about my struggles because he felt it would reach people. If not for Garrett, I would still struggle to this day. I'm not proud of my actions overseas, but I'm glad I could assist those that are hurting with the same guilt and pain.
Thank you for your service brother. I'm just a civilian with knowledge of military history. I just want to say I know people around you in america takes advantage of that freedom you and your fore-father's fought for but people like me we appreciate every minute because we know we could be like Russia or another country with a dictator
Rob, I'll be praying for you and your family brother. I love what you and Gauge do on this channel. I would love to hear your thoughts on Phinehas - know death; know forever
Garret Has a video on youtube where he explains every song on this album. The idea behind the song, song titles and the artwork. Its amazingly beautiful.
Sh1t Head given the news they started the video with, I don’t think they wanna approach that just yet my dude. It’s a gorgeous but very emotional song with difficult subject matter.
When you mention the “crimson tower”, I makes me think of when someone asks a vet how many people they have killed. That question sickens me. How about asking them how many people they have saved or simply thanking them for putting themselves where most men and women wouldn’t even dare to go.
Your perspective and comments on these reactions are always very insightful and well thought out. They mean a great deal to me. I'm so sorry that your wife is sick. Know that I appreciate what you do, and that you are always in my prayers. Keep up the great work and my God be with you.
I was wondering why you haven’t posted in a while, but now that I know why, I completely understand. Take as long as you need for each future upload. And I admire the strength you have found in the LORD to continue this channel after such devastating news. I appreciate what you do with this channel :)
You're incredibly strong. I'm very proud of you for being able to still make videos despite the circumstances and I'm wishing Kristy a speedy recovery. I believe everything will be perfect in the end. Good luck with everything!
Phinehas - Know Death, Know Forever. It's heavy with beautiful lyrics. God bless you guys and prayers for strength and a speedy recovery for your wife.
I’m not a religious person but I have been watching your videos for a long time and enjoy them very much. Hearing about your wife deeply saddens me and we all want her to stay strong. She can do this. Stay strong guys and keep up the amazing work here on your channel.
I’ve been a huge fan of Silent Planet for many years now. I’ve seen them live a couple of times, and Garrett and the rest of the band always put their all into every performance. Garret’s ability to use poetry, science, history, faith, psychology, and word play in his songs baffles me. He’s a huge inspiration to me. Thanks for featuring them!!
Shit man I was about to write finally and shit. But damn that news hit hard. I’m at a loss for words. Boy did I love how much you enjoyed that song and your reactions! That was nothing short of fantastic; as is the band
Haha I just realized I went to the same concert! That concert was the first I’ve ever heard of Silent Planet and now I’m in love with them and they have some of my favorite songs and Lyrics! Great video 😁
Keep fighting the good fight brothers! Your family is in my prayers, God will see you through this Pastor Rob, your ministry is such a blessing and needed in this world- God bless you guys!
YES, I've been wanting you guys to review some songs of theirs for a long time. What you guys do here is awesome, keep up the amazing work! And I'll be praying for you guys.
Thank you for your videos. I have deployed multiple times and seen what PTSD can do to people. My military career has made it difficult for me to attend church and practice my faith. But finding your channel has become a go to church for me. No matter where I'm at I can watch your videos. So thank for reminding me of what true faith looks like and how it can keep me going.
Man you guys are awesome. It's good to see you back! If you want a great new recommendation check out Shekinah by Saving Grace. Super heavy VERY christian band and lyrics. You'll love it.
Thank you for choosing to continue the channel despite the adversity your family is facing . Your videos make my day as I’m sure they do the same for others.
"I took a life that takes mine". That always gets me. I just can't imagine what it's like to have that feeling. I can only imagine what a veteran with ptsd goes through. Wish there wa s more i could help with that. But damn dude. Always gets me.
Love this video guys. Watched it many times already. You really did the song and lyrical content great justice. Your analysis brings these songs to life in a way they never have for me before. Thanks for all you do! Cheers 🤘
Panic room is like the beginning of apocalypse now. It's amazing and terrifying that Sheen was drunk and had a real mental breakdown on set. This and silent planet's song are probably the most PTSD like feelings and emotions you will experience through modern media. Fascinating and terrifying
I totally feel you on the pain you mentioned. I don't know how people can get through news like that (Concerning your wife's cancer) without God. It helped me too. It was what I needed most when I myself lost my mother to liver cancer back in 2013. So thankful that this life isn't the end for us, stay strong!
Silent planet are beautiful and im glad you enjoyed them! Anything reasonbly recent by Architects is super releveant to your situation and may help alot.
Definitely keeping y'all in my prayers. And thank you so much for reacting to these guys! Some amazing musicians and even better human beings! They've got plenty more great songs for you to experience.
I am so sorry to hear about the news. Everything will be just fine guy's I promise! You have a ton of prayers headed your way, glad to see you guy's not being discouraged about making videos. You guys have such an awesome and unique channel and you are both so open minded with music for being devote Christians, it's a beautiful thing.
My father was in the Air Force for around 20 years and was deployed to active combat zones every other year, I see him still struggle sometimes with things he’s seen as well as being away from his loved ones. I have such immense respect for him and this whole video kinda reminded of that service and what he’s sacrificed. Was nice to see y’all go in depth into the things that people don’t talk about regarding servicemen and going to war as far as ptsd goes.
Silent Planet is phenomenal, but I tend to avoid looking up what the lyrics mean because Garrett's poetry has a kind of magic to it when left ambiguous.
Pastor Rob, you and your family are in my prayers. I somewhat understand what your family is going through. About 7 years about I love my mom to breast cancer. I can say that losing her to such a thing has been painful, but I know that she is home safe with God and is no longer in pain. pray for your wife to fight the cancer and live a long and happy life, you're in my prayers
I am very happy to see you guys! I found myself keeping an eye on your channel and checking quite a few times a day. My family is praying and we all are behind you with our hands on your shoulders supporting you. I found an unknown that you guys would like. I want you guys to hear the first song I heard and be as blown away as I was. Hope for the Dying - Acceptance Love you guys!
Hi Pastor Rob, thank you both for such an awesome channel! Can't state that enough. I need to say thank you. Your video on the Father's Bargain reignited something in my heart which I haven't felt in such a long time... and that was the first video of yours I watched. Thank you! My prayers go out to you and your family!
Welcome back guys! Prayers for your wife/mother I cant even imagine what you guys arr going through... I would love to see a video of TOOL Fear inoculum
I was literally just thinking about you guys and checked for updates on the channel right before you uploaded this. GOD bless your family and glad to you have both back...Thoughts and prayers.
Hi Rob and Gauge. Thanks for the fantastic work you guys are doing for His kingdom! I also felt a deep connection with these lyrics like something inside needed to be set free. Your wife will be in my prayers. Good luck and keep on fighting.
Interestingly the song was written about a friend of the band who is a vet and suffers from PTSD. It’s such a powerful song and makes me well up every time.
I, myself was in a line platoon in OEF 6. I cleared active duty in 2007 but just last year was diagnosed with PTSD, I have been dealing with this shit for over a decade and never knew what was wrong with me.. this song gives me goosebumps and damn near makes me cry every time I hear it. If there are any veterans or anyone that suffers from PTSD please do yourself a favor and do you friends/family a bigger favor and get help before it inevitably eats you alive. Heavy, heavy stuff. Love y’all.
Love ya pastor Rob :)) praying for your family! Love this channel and will always be a huge supporter! God bless broski! Ps. Northern Fires is my favorite song by them!
You guys have such an amazing ministry here with these videos impacting so many people, myself included. Thank you for the encouragement and solid Biblical teaching, pointing people to God's love through Jesus! Praying for you and your family during these trying times.
Garret is such an awesome guy. I got to meet him after a show (on of the ABR ones as well) a couple weeks ago and he gave me the best hug ever. I felt like I had been knighted. Praying your wife heals up soon, man. Cancer is an awful thing to watch unfold, but it can be beaten.
I haven’t seen anyone comment about this yet. Garrett (the lead vocalist) holds a masters degree in Clinical Psychology.
That would make so much sense given the content of the album this comes from - PTSD, Anorexia, etc.
It really shows, too. Many of the lyrics are absolutely unsettling. Even as an avid metal lover.
not just one i think
if i remember correctly he also has a degree in English? maybe? I feel like I read that somewhere. He wanted to be a teacher originally.
@@jck1794 i think he has a ba in english and philosophy

Jeriel Clark Bless you man. God will use this to reach others.
god bless you brother 🖤
You are not alone brother USMC 2002-2007. Im glad you found an outlet for your pain so that you can heal from the wounds of our war.
Would love to chat with you sometime
Thank you for your service brother. I'm just a civilian with knowledge of military history. I just want to say I know people around you in america takes advantage of that freedom you and your fore-father's fought for but people like me we appreciate every minute because we know we could be like Russia or another country with a dictator
Silent Planet is on another level, lyrically. All of their songs have so much depth and truth in them.
Kevin Fitz So true that’s why they are my favorite
Have you ever heard of... Northlane 🤔
@@almaudo3 I have. They don't hold my interest though.
Silent planet is great! Do more reactions of them.
RedivideR!
@@AbitOverkilI Love that song.
Rob, I'll be praying for you and your family brother. I love what you and Gauge do on this channel. I would love to hear your thoughts on Phinehas - know death; know forever
Know death know forever is a must!
Garret Has a video on youtube where he explains every song on this album. The idea behind the song, song titles and the artwork. Its amazingly beautiful.
Jeremy Dycus I think he's done this with every album they have too!
Can you provide a link or something
@@JesusChristcousingreg search "silent planet track by track" on YT
I think you would enjoy reacting to the song doomsday by architects.
Sh1t Head given the news they started the video with, I don’t think they wanna approach that just yet my dude. It’s a gorgeous but very emotional song with difficult subject matter.
mmmm architects
Or broken cross
Holy hell is without question- one of the most beautifully painful masterpieces of cathartic emotion evoking lyrics out there.
@@jakediertay4711 that entire album is thought provoking and some of the best lyrics written recently
Depths II by Silent Planet. If you don’t feel something reading those lyrics, you’re not human.
Top 3 favs by them top 10 fav songs of all team
Depths III is more moving
When you mention the “crimson tower”, I makes me think of when someone asks a vet how many people they have killed. That question sickens me. How about asking them how many people they have saved or simply thanking them for putting themselves where most men and women wouldn’t even dare to go.
26:47 AMEN! THANK YOU! prayers for you and your wife 🙏❤️
Your perspective and comments on these reactions are always very insightful and well thought out. They mean a great deal to me. I'm so sorry that your wife is sick. Know that I appreciate what you do, and that you are always in my prayers. Keep up the great work and my God be with you.
I think y'all would like oh sleeper. Give them a try. Pretty much any song will work.
I second that
I couldn't agree more!
Bro yes! That would be amazing!
And Saving grace or sleeping giant
Yesss!!! Oh sleeper is great!!
#prayforkristy praying for you guys. Great to see father and son enjoying something together, especially within this time of stress.
Prayers for you and your wife Robert. Prayers for your families.

Ill be praying for you guys, god bless, you should react to no ordinary love by memphis may fire
Great reaction, Pastor Rob! Praying for you and your family!
Phinehas - Know Death, Know Forever. It's heavy with beautiful lyrics. God bless you guys and prayers for strength and a speedy recovery for your wife.
Literally any song by phinehas
This band is something so special. I cry every time with this song.
Another great video. Sir, I'd love it if you reacted to La Dispute - King Park. Your thoughts on the ending would be amazing.
3 seconds into the video and pastor Robs got the pen ready!!! Hah!!
They have a song called “Visible unseen” that’s worth checking out, too.
I’m not a religious person but I have been watching your videos for a long time and enjoy them very much. Hearing about your wife deeply saddens me and we all want her to stay strong. She can do this. Stay strong guys and keep up the amazing work here on your channel.
I’m close friends with Jeriel, the man who’s testimony inspired this song.
I’ve been a huge fan of Silent Planet for many years now. I’ve seen them live a couple of times, and Garrett and the rest of the band always put their all into every performance.

Ryan's screams in that song are so emotional that it is one of my favorite fit for a king songs now

No ordinary love, Memphis mayfire. Continuous prayers for the fam!!!
"I took a life that takes mine". That always gets me. I just can't imagine what it's like to have that feeling. I can only imagine what a veteran with ptsd goes through. Wish there wa
s more i could help with that. But damn dude. Always gets me.
React to Silent Planet - Depths ll (be sure to read the footnotes of the song in the description)
Connor Klassen and Depths III which is my personal favorite out all three of the Depths songs
Brother may God bless you and your family and be with y’all during this difficult time
I think Garrett has had some problems with his vocal cords during his recent tour. That may be why. Amazing artist and philosopher
Garrett made a post talking about it on his Instagram. It's a lengthy post, but he talks about quite a bit in it.
correct he was having an issue with his throat but he seems to be improving from what i've seen in his posts.
Yeah I was at that orlando show. He was visibily hurt
Love this video guys. Watched it many times already. You really did the song and lyrical content great justice. Your analysis brings these songs to life in a way they never have for me before. Thanks for all you do! Cheers 🤘

Absolutely. R.I.P. Tom
Hear hear! Architects FTW. Doomsday, Broken Cross, Gravity, Match Made In Heaven - any of those would be great to see
Good to see you both again and I wish you all the best .. much love
You guys should definitely react to oblivion from fit for a king.
Great video. Stay strong. Everything will work itself out for the better. Praying for you
You guys should totally do something from Fit For a King! Like, Slave to Nothing, Warpath, Shattered Glass, or Deathgrip. 🤘🏻
Definitely keeping y'all in my prayers. And thank you so much for reacting to these guys! Some amazing musicians and even better human beings! They've got plenty more great songs for you to experience.
A react to dead choir by phinehas would be amazing. It's been a long time favorite of mine
MYB1GBULL3T anything by Phinehas, they're amazing lol
Sending my love to you and your family during this difficult time. Thank you for these videos!
Depths III by Silent Planet is such a powerful song that I think you would enjoy. Also First Born by silent planet
Praying for you all. You guys are the best. Thank you for all you do I’ll keep you guys and her in my prayers.
Please do nf's new album. Praying for you and your family!
thomas melton I second this comment! NFs new album is sooo good. And deep dude..
I am so sorry to hear about the news. Everything will be just fine guy's I promise! You have a ton of prayers headed your way, glad to see you guy's not being discouraged about making videos. You guys have such an awesome and unique channel and you are both so open minded with music for being devote Christians, it's a beautiful thing.
Garrett has a master's degree in Psychology. He was going to get a Ph.D but dropped out to pursue music full-time
P.s thanks for the shout-out
He also has a ba in english and philosophy, the man is stupidly well educated. I think hes also doing theology as well

I recommend "Feed the Machine" by RED.
Thanks for reviewing this track. I get goosebumps whenever I hear it. The song, video, lyrics all pack a powerful emotional punch. The full package.
You should definitely react to a song called “Despise” by a band called “Spite”
hahahahah uh oh
They are a solid Christian group. That song is about despising sin!
@@Whopperwhopper420 spite is Christian??
I am very happy to see you guys! I found myself keeping an eye on your channel and checking quite a few times a day.

Maybe some of the New stuff. As I lay dying-shaped by fire/my own grave
Silent planet has been a band that has constantly blown me away and I’m glad you guys are making more videos hope all is well guys

Ok up next. Save me-Avenged sevenfold. IMMEDIATELY
God Bless you and praying for your wife! Been waiting for this song reaction!!
Interestingly the song was written about a friend of the band who is a vet and suffers from PTSD. It’s such a powerful song and makes me well up every time.
