Based on her singing voice, I did NOT expect her speaking voice to sound so deep. But now her scream tone makes SO much sense. It also shows how good her breathe support is when she sings.
well i mean she does sing pretty low too so it makes sense
Thank god she does so I can match the range : D@@Mr.Marbles
The hair, the background, the shirt... that's A+ coordination right there. Almost like an "ETERNAL BLUE" theme.
Wow, that's would be a great marketing 🤔
I have the same shirt. But either my wall then my hair are blue😐
I lost my best friend to Covid in February.
I had shared Spiritbox with her a few months before that, and talked about how obsessed I was with them.
I was thinking of her and listening to music one day and Constance came on and I just LOST it.
It just made so much SENSE.
All of these loses in my life.
Like a slow moving coup.
This song will forever be a huge part of my life. Until it's played at my funeral one day.
RIP K.L
I'm sorry for your loss
The entire interview is great but 27:30 is the title
Take the like
you're a fucking god
God i love the backstory behind this. Fucking A+
Not all heros wear capes
Cheers!
I’ve been supporting them since Belcarra, watching them progressively gain the attention they deserve is awesome. I can’t wait to see them tour the US
They are touring the USA with limp bizkit
Almost exactly one month from today I will see Spiritbox with, um, a band I'm not sure about but I guess I should listen to again (since I haven't heard of them since the TRL days LOL, no hate.). Feel kinda blessed parts of the US will get a taste before the official European tours... I was feeling left out! Haha.
Courtney drinks all of our tears to stay alive Her hair becomes more blue with each person crying to constance
This should be the most popular comment on this thread!
Fucking amazing comment hahaha yes
Love her blue hair. It’s stunning.
😂What?
Goals honestly... What a Queen
I text my terminally ill wife every day while I have to work. Most days she doesn't reply. The pain of that loss of basic relationship stuff you take for granted is immeasurable. But sometimes she replies. I cry at getting a glimpse of that relationship back if for just a moment for just a day.
🙏
Story?
Hope your ok dude
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for all your words and acknowledgements with the thumbs up. Very much appreciate being 'seen' by strangers. Very kind people. Thank you.
Constance hits us right in the feels ❤️
I didn't even hear it in this interview and I teared up. lol
I really like how genuine Courtney is, during the interview. And it's that sense of being genuine that really draws me to Spiritbox. All of their music seems real and never forced. Great stuff!
I LOVE Courtney's singing voice, it would be a waste to ONLY have her scream in every song.
I LOVE Courtney's screaming voice, it would be a waste to have her only sing in every song.
I agree !
@@KeepTheGates I agree !
I just like to hear some singin, and then some screamin.... and then some singin and more screamin.
@@stephencasper87 I had a dreammmmm
This band is going to be huge. They are all so full of passion.
they should do shows with Jinjer ! 2 of the best !
Yep. Two years later and they are iconic!
All I can say is this song is HEAVY on so many levels
I lost my dad early 2018 and I’m still unable to cope with this situation. I’ve been having this song on repeat for almost three days now and I let out a lot of what was building up inside me hearing your story about your grandma. I hope we all could find solace and comfort in such wonderful pieces of art. I’m sure if my dad was around, he’d also love this song as much as I do…
Courtney has such an attractive personality. It's easy to be "hot" but it's rare to have such a grounded and humble persona while essentially being a goddess. I love her goofy/sincere ethos. She can joke around but also be taken seriously at the same time.
Jesus Christ simps are sad
@@gunGrief simply sad
@@gunGrief Not as sad as you going around the comments spamming "simp" like it somehow pays your rent lmfao
@@Fiendir haha thus comment made me smile. Fuck these guys
shes not gonna fuck u bro
Her talking voice sounds so different from her singing voice. She's so badass.
Huh? How does that make her badass? Simp
@@gunGrief There's that word again
@@gunGrief 🤔
@@gunGrief That word. "I do not think it means what you think it means." - Inigo Montoya
@@TakavaNirhii "Heavy"?
Such a sweet person and I love all her singing styles.
Secret garden came into my life when i was dealing with old childhood traumas that were holding me back in life and like so many comments it made me cry tears of relief and ever since i have listened to eternal blue EVERYDAY since
Secret Garden definitely speaks of childhood trauma, the music video symbolises it well. As someone that has PTSD, Secret Garden is one of my favourite songs of all time.
@pacomarveeny9640 thanks for the reply it's been over a year since I made the original comment I have come so far in my personal growth since but this song will be a great reminder forever
This band is crazy good. I can't believe I went so long not hearing them
I had just lost my mother randomly and a few weeks later this song came out. Every time I hear it it reminds me of losing her so suddenly. Thank you for a beautiful song spiritbox 🤘🏻
Soooo obsessed with Spiritbox. I love the fact that her music is diverse and different and doesn’t really fit into a cookie cutter formula of any particular genre.
It is progressive metal 100%, but that's what makes it such a great genre where awesome musicians like Spiritbox can thrive :)
Verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus. Most Spiritbox songs follow that formula. I’m the biggest heavy metal fan but people forget that a lot of metal bands like Spiritbox and bigger name bands like Slipknot literally follow the same pop/rock music formula.
@kettlemagic It's not just about the structure. I think that's the last bullet point to check when I'm trying to put a piece of music into a genre.
But I agree that their earlier work, which I consider prog Metalcore, had more structural differences than their new stuff, which is basic modern Metalcore or Alt Rock.
Heard Constance live last Tuesday and I shed a few tears 😢 even more powerful and beautiful live ❤️💔
I LOVE Spiritbox!!! Constance is a great song... but I admittedly avoid it most of the time. I can't get through the first minute without being reduced to a bucket of tears and snot.
Yep amen
I heard that beautiful song once. That's it for me!
same for Darko's Donna
Same for me. Such a masterpiece.
Love you bro! Major same feels!
What a genuine person. I really hope Courtney and Spiritbox make it super big. They deserve it.
Also the hair and shirt 🔥
Great interview, Toni did such a good job. And Courtney is lovely as always, looking forward to the album! Hope it brings them far beyond the ‘safe bubble’.
I was going to post something similar... Toni is a really good interviewer. I like seeing her doing these interviews as opposed to the short news updates and stuff.
Ah she seems so genuine and down to earth, how refreshing!☺️💙💙
Her lyrics are so well written shes def the best rn love her sm
Courtney, thanks for being so authentic- love your sharing your story and the real you - awesome!
I have now become an absolute fan of Courtney!! She embodies my personality in soooo many ways. I have never felt such a deep connection with a metal musician since I discovered Butcher Babies in 2013. I have such respect for her and I would love to meet her one day! She is a badass 🤘🏻
I’m so glad Courtney opened up to us and for that it makes me feel much closer and relatable to her. I love this band so much.
Well now that I know Courtney's story about Constance.. imma cry even more 😢
I understand everything she is saying. I just recently found the band as a suggestion from hurt you, lovely find, I love so many songs by them. Constance is so beautiful and her voice is so beautiful in it as well and I lost my dad back in may this year from liver failure.. he was a bad alcoholic and couldn’t stop drinking but when he was close to death he suddenly stopped.. then he got cirrhosis of the liver. The emotions of suddenly losing a loved one is something that’s hard to wrap your head around I expected him to die sooner or later from his habit but it happened so suddenly. My mom and him danced to champagne supernova the first night they met and that was their song. We played that as he died in the house during hospice we were fortunate enough to be with him at home instead of him being stuck at the hospital from covid. Music is such a powerful coping mechanism and I cry my heart out to the song they met to and this song makes me feel not so alone when I feel empty knowing I’m not gonna see him again. My condolences to everyone who lost a loved one and stay safe 😓❤️
I cry because of all of that AND it is just soooo beautiful sounding and the entire feeling of it is an amazing experience 🙏
One of my favorite bands
She is such a beautiful human. My wife and I love her and her music!
Courtney really is amazing and so humble, its nurturing. Loved the band Spiritbox and love her voice, way of vocal... \m/
Discovered the band last month, I felt pretty hard in love with them... wonderful band and people.
Wise words, "dead people are stupid people" - Grandma LaPlante
She is one of the best female vocalists in metal. Just an incredible artist!
Spiritbox is one of the best bands I've ever heard in my entire life! And I'm a long running metal fan since I was a kid. They are truly amazing. I play them for every friend I have who has never heard of them they are one of those "you just have to hear" bands! Every member in the band is so incredibly talented. 🤎
Also like to mention,loved the interview ,letting her speak and telling her vision,loved it~!
Thank you Courtney! For all your emotions that you are putting in your music. The lyrics are like a mirror. I can see myself in there. Big hug from Germany. ❤
So happy for you and your band..i have played drums most of my life and played a lot of unpaid gigs, just to get the experience. Even though im no longer in the band, i miss the times we all had together, but without the right connection within the band, it doesnt work...very very happy to come across your music, have never heard a female musician that sounds so amazing, very unique...the connection is very noticable, you guys are awsome, keep up the great work..
God....this interview makes me love her that much more....she's so amazing.
Courtney is such a talent! I love the that she is really cool and down to earth. Spiritbox is really one special band.
This interview felt so natural. They were both on their A game!
Never has a hair color matched a shirt print so well. Also I like her.
Such a nice talking voice too ^^
I can't listen to Constance all the time like the others ... too sad and emotionnal for me.
Spirit box need to be really famous because it's an amazing band, my best discovery of 2020 . ✊🏻💙
"if this whole thing goes left, i'll be dead" - That's how I hope I take something like that.
She has such a beautiful voice 😍
Constance makes me cry because my grandmothers name was constance, and she died with/of(?) dementia. Shit hits hard. Well then... I knew it was about her grandmother... but I had no idea the song and video were also based on that as well... oof
7 month later edit: when it comes to screaming in songs... I like it all. I like it when there's little screaming, but it's used to emphasize something... I like it when it's nothing but screaming. I like it when it's nothing but singing. As long as it's done tastefully, I love it all. Just happens that a lot of people do it tastefully now... and nowhear near as cringy sounding as it did in the early 00's
before i knew them...it was constance that really attracts me the most to this band,
First time I actually heard this song I cried so hard. So beautiful I love Courtney's angelic voice
27:32 - constance talk
U are a life saver
It's the first time I see her smile somewhere.. 🥰
Versatility is the key indeed. I love how passionate she is🌟🤎
I was first introduced to Spiritbox only nine months ago and it's SO gratifying the way their songs keep growing on me, changing with me, becoming friends. Even their oldest tracks sound fresh, vibrant and relevant. And yes, I like Iwrestledabearonce too! Every new track they release blasts me off to new heights. I love how her podcast focuses on representation for women in the music business. I really appreciated this candid and thoughtful interview - great job!
Lmao, y'all missed censoring one of her "shit"s.
Seriously, tho, Courtney is the next gen. Her, Tatiana of Jinjer... true masterclasses in the art of female lead vocals!
True masterclass in vocals period.
snitch
And Alyssa from Arch Enemy!
She's such an inspiration to me. I cannot wait to see the future of this band unfold.
Courtney.. you are amazing!!!! 🖤🖤🖤 I wish all the sucess for you and spiritbox!
Cause it's so relatable. And the ambience of the song. Dark but beautiful. It's very very emotional. I went through the exact same thing with the literal matriarch of my family. I miss her so much :(
She seems like a nice, cool, down to earth person.
I just wish I could have that kind of woman in my life!
Lol ok
Toni - you consistently do great interviews!! Keep it up ❤
This woman knows what's up proud of you guys support local bands now!!!!
Love it. Classy. My favorite band at the moment. I wish nothing but good health and happiness for Spiritbox. Go Canada.
seems like a great down to earth person !!
Big fan of Spiritbox , and really loving Courtney,not only is she talented,but very down to earth~! wish them nothing but success !
As soon as a heard constance I sobbed I loved it also everything about spiritbox is amazing 👏🏻
This isn't meant to sound offensive, but it fascinates me how deep her speaking voice is
Here's to "Weird Little Theater Kids!" They definitely make the world a better place!
Glad to hear Courtney works out..its the only way to longevity so she can sing forever..yay.
Yeah, Constance DO makes me cry every damn time I listen to it... Specially because Courtney voice has a powerful effect on transmitting feelings and on how heavy the lyrics are meant to be felt. It's both a joy and a pain listening to Spiritbox, maybe that's why it's so addicting
Man I can't believe that I didn't want to give them a chance, and they are my 2ND fav band, I love literally every song.
The Mara Effect 2 is an absolute fucking masterpiece.
Courtney is incredible, completely tuned in to the stream
Absolutely love SpiritBox!!!
Secret Garden was unexpected but I still love it because I know how diverse the band is and it's another reason why I love them so much.
Just adore Courtney and Spiritbox. Loved seeing you in Melbourne Australia
Never heard one song - instant fan 👍
You are in my top 3 metal bands and continuing to grow inside of me. Your voice is eternal.
The interviewer did an excellent job. Great interview!!
This is the only song that makes me cry every time I hear it.
Didn’t know the whole story behind the song….lost my grandma like 15yrs ago due to a surgery and lost my grandpa to the same, the director lost his to like 2mo ago. No wonder this song hits my heart soo heart!!!
Also besides Courtney who is always so real and human and adorable - hat tip to the interviewer who was emotionally intelligent and attuned to Courtney - love this interview
Next Gen - I love Korn, Linkin Park, Evanescence, Architects - seems Courtney and Spiritbox have captured the best parts of these - ITS so good that there is a future for real rock fusion music - given us hope! Cant wait for Eternal Blue!!!
The Constance video def makes me cry. Everytime. 🍻
Absolutely Love Spiritbox !
Yes, it makes me cry. Reminds me of my great grandmother. My daughter is named after her.
yeah even as a guy I feel so much like this. I am from Applachaiaia ...yeah. not spelled righted. I feel this
Wonderful interview!
Anxiety attacks can make your fingers tingle. It happens to me.
Am absolutely stoked for the album, hope, I'll get a chance to get my little grabbies on it here in Germany 🥰
i LOVE Courtney's shirt
Love Courtney. Love Spiritbox. And I also absolutely love that blue makeshift sound proof practicing booth in the background. I might steal that idea 😅💜💙
Courtney laplante your so beautiful and I love you and your band so much
LOVE this band!!!
One of theses days I’m going to meet her
It made me cry because I am so far away from my grandma who has dementia and is in a memory care facility. Her mother and her sister died of Alzheimer's disease. I know she will most likely not ever remember who I am and I try to hold onto the memories I have with her but it gets hard sometimes.
Courtney....I love your voice and you're so brave to write about your experiences in trauma torture inflicted to create alters. I hope you were able to merge your pieces and the system.... ❤️
Secret Garden got me through a huge bout of depression...it gives me hope that I'll be ok.
It's true. You can't be the new band forever. BUT in today's modern short attention span world BMTH in my opinion have been new since 2004. I think Spirit Box will be the same :) such a good band!!
Aren't you glad, as Courtney took an interest in learning to scream, that someone didn't just say 'oh honey that's not for you here's a flute'? That's what happens to most girls...we've all been pushed towards our own "flute". It takes a lot of passion to push through when culture/society tells you youre just being silly, this phase will pass when you grow up a little
Courtney looks beautiful.
